"Welcome sir" The clerk greeted Tristan, as usual, she had a smile on her face which was very welcoming.Turning in her direction, Tristan retorted,"Thank you, how is work?" he asked. "It's going great sir, uhm… sir there is a lady who came by earlier today, she said her name was Marie and she showed me your business card that you gave to her. She wanted to see you, but I told her that you are absent."Tristan was surprised, a lot had happened that he did not even remember that he met Marie at the hospital a few weeks back." So she left? " He asked her briskly." No sir," replied the clerk." She left but came back a few hours later and now she's waiting for you at the cafeteria. I suggested that she call you but she refused to, I don't know why she insisted on seeing you in person. But I'll let her know that you are around now sir, if you are ready to see her.""Don't worry," Tristan interjected,"I'll meet her there, by the way, has Paul resumed?" He inquired."Yes sir, he was at
She looked up at Tristan, her face soaked in tears, with the hair strands on her face, she appeared to be looking more depressed than she was."It was all a lie," she finally spoke up in a low tone."What was it?" Tristan asked, with his elbows on the table, eager to listen to whatever she was going to say."Everything you knew and saw back then was a lie, my father was not rich, he was a thief, of course, he was in a good position to be wealthy, he couldn't help but embezzle, and once caught he was arrested.""I started to miss school because of his trial in court. It hurt and saddened me but there was nothing I could do. He is in jail now, and I don't know whether he is dead or even alive because we weren't allowed to even visit." She paused and tried to wipe the tears on her face but her hair was in the way so she adjusted them and inhaled deeply before proceeding." After his sentence, my mother got depressed, not like she was poor, she had a well-paying job but my father's senten
/ You have been rewarded with 5 gift points for doing a good deed: helping out a nemesis/"Hmm, this seems to be the only thing I do now,". Tristan scoffed as he made his way back to the office./It is one thing you are good at/"Oh well, it doesn't matter, I only assist people who are interested in having a meaningful life, not ones who are ready to waste time, by the way, my mom is still not talking about adopting anyone, can I at least suggest to her because if I don't tell her about it, she might never think in that direction and I'll end up failing this task."/Make no suggestions regardless of the circumstances/" Sigh."~~~~~~~Day2~~~~~~~Unlike the day before, Max sent a letter to the orphanage to be visited, following Tristan's instructions, and it was included in the message that the manager must be present.Later in the evening of the previous day, Max alongside Tristan's mother had gone to shop for the orphanage, and the purchase ended with two huge trucks of clothes, sh
"Good day Mr. Coleman," the manager of the orphanage approached Tristan with a welcoming smile, the man was of average height, dark-skinned with a long beard that needed shaving.Shaking his hand, Tristan responded,"Nice to meet you, I must say that you have taken care of this place," Tristan commended him, having observed the surroundings, however, the entrance alone was not enough to prove how well this orphanage home was being taken care of."It's more of an honor for me, Mr. Coleman, please let's go to my office, where you can have a seat and relax _" I don't have to do any of that," Tristan interjected," I won't be spending much time, except my mother makes me," he added and that was when the manager acknowledged Tristan's mother's presence by extending his hand for a handshake with a slight bow." It's such an honor to meet you, mam, welcome, " he said and in response, Tristan's mother reacted with a broad smile and said," It's my pleasure."" Alright sir, if that is what you
Walking out of the room, they headed for the academic section of the facility. Through a hallway and out a door, the school environment slowly revealed itself, a line of classrooms with a poster at the door to tell what grade.It looked just like a normal school environment and it's hard to tell that it was inside an orphanage home.The manager knocked gently on a classroom door."Come in!" The voice of a lady replied from inside the classroom.The manager opened the door and walked in, with Tristan and his mother from behind."Good morning Mr Philips," the children greeted in unison."Good morning children," he retorted with a smile, the teacher stood up from where she was seated and proceeded to greet Tristan and his mother with a welcoming smile."Alright children, this is Mr. Coleman, say good morning." The manager said and in response, the kids did as they were asked to."Good morning kids, how are you doing today?" Tristan inquired to which they all replied saying that they were
Tristan's eyes widened in shock, this was one step ahead of completing his task, he wasn't against his mother's choice for one bit because he also thought that Ariana was not a bad option. "We will have to discuss that mam, it involves a lot of procedures," the manager responded with a smile, "We can't just give out our children like that, we need to be sure of a lot of things and get some documents signed before they are adopted."" She didn't say she wanted to take her home immediately, of course, we will go through all the procedures," Tristan interjected." I understand sir, it'll only take one or two days to complete the processes, it's just for legal reasons, else I believe you are capable sir," the manager added, just to prove that he was doing everything accordingly."There is no problem, we can resume the process afterward," Tristan added and soon, there was a loud ring through the hallway."Recess," the manager uttered with a sigh, even before he could finish, the children
"She talked to me," Tristan's mother kept reminding herself even while they were already out of the orphanage home and inside the car. The thought of having Ariana around her daily was driving her insane and she couldn't wait for the adoption process to be over.As for Tristan, while his mother was making friends with the little girl, he was discussing with the manager, which ended with the usual statement,"send me the orphanage home's account details,"Once that was done, he made the transfer of one million dollars as per the system's instructions, and before leaving, he reminded the manager to get an estimate of the cost of television and air conditioner installation. He also inquired about the young boy named Tomy, but after the record was checked, there was no child in the orphanage named Tomy. "Mom, you have been talking about this since we got out of the orphanage, what exactly did you two discuss?" Tristan asked, his tone filled with curiosity as to what made his mother so ecs
It was as if the days were going by very quickly, the meeting with the company ended successfully, but there were no conclusions on whether or not there'd be a partnership.He returned home that night to see that his mother had made a lot of changes to the third room upstairs, it had been repainted in his absence to a distinct purple color with illustrations of flowers and butterflies on the wall, but the work was not finished and Tristan assumed that it would be finished the next day. The bed has been replaced with a more sizeable one for a child Ariana's age, the chandelier was also changed to look more childlike with butterflies dangling from it, emitting colorful lights.There was also a vanity set with an oval-shaped mirror and a makeup kit, even though she was not sure how well Ariana knew about makeup, Tristan's mother added it to the renovation to teach her."Quite some work you did," Tristan remarked."I always wanted to have a room like this for your sister Tracy, it would

"I just got the baby to sleep, damm," Claudia sighed and sat next to her husband on the couch."I guess the maids can't do everything, " she added."You gave birth to quite the town crier," Tristan chuckled and Claudia laughed,"We, gave birth... not just me, by the way, I found this in one of those old briefcases that you no longer use," she held up a string covered in glitter and Tristan's jaws dropped in shock."I can't believe it," He took it from her, staring at it with a mix of so many emotions. He remembered that string from five years ago when the system had asked him to play the philanthropist role and visit that orphanage. "She'd be a grown-up by now," He uttered and Claudia raised a brow wondering who he was talking about."I can't remember her name, but it was a young girl, about 5 years old I met her at an orphanage once, she was so happy to make me a bracelet, and I gave her my wristwatch in return, I can't believe I still have it after all these years.""Awn," Claudia
Getting rid of the barrier that stopped her hand from touching his skin, Claudia did the needful, and anyone might think it's massaging but that would be wrong, she played with it, constantly looking into Tristan's eyes to ensure that he responded accordingly to her punishment. With every trace of fluid, she could tell that he was at the breaking point, but she wanted him to say it, believing that a man who is thirsty enough wouldn't hesitate to beg for water to drink."Please," He finally gave in, he no longer saw the need to keep his thought to himself. He lost his mind a long time ago but has struggled to keep it together. That was all she needed to hear, the pleading voice of her man, his surrender to her, his submission and notng more, as much as she tortured him, Claudia tortured herself equally, so she was more than happy to begin the process.Letting Tristan get rid of her clothes, they both indulge in doing the needful, as Claudia took the lead like she wanted, but Tristan
"You wore this dress on purpose tonight, didn't you?" Tristan asked, gazing lovingly at his wife who sat on the bed where he lay. Her red silky short dress was alluring and no doubt tempting to whatever eyes see it, her red painted nails added to the mix as though she has untold agendas. She turned to him and replied,"What do you think, what's if I did?" She asked and Tristan could already tell what it was that his wife demanded.She had been busy all week, and this weekend she got a break, she had clung to him as though there was a piece of honey left that she had yet to taste."I think you did," Tristan replied and sat up, he leaned forward to kiss he on the lip but Clauide pushed him backwards. "No no," she said,"Lay back down, Tristan," she added, her voice was both soft and demanding, and what more could he do than listen to the woman who seemed to know what she wanted? He had been at home all day, rested enough and was always ready for her.Claudia climbed unto the bed and
One of the most expensive wedding venues in LA, and that was only the first stage of the wedding. He intended for a three days wedding, one at an indoor venue, which is where the current reception is taking place after the church. Another at an outdoor venue most likely close to a beach, and for the grand finally under the night sy on the rooftop of a hotel. As for what they will be doing at the venue all those days, that won't be a problem.Everyone is set, even up to the source of entertainment. The number of eminent personalities present at Tristan's wedding was unbelievable. What surprised people mostly was when the president showed up. Most people believe that after his son had been put behind bars for attempted murder that it might alter his relation with Tristan, but nothing changed.The first day was the main event, the reception took off by 4pm and lasted until 8pm, the food alone could anyone salivating even though they had had their fill.The dance between mother and son w
"I can't believe you did this," Claudia uttered whilst staring at the ring on her finger. She was lying in bed next to Tristan who was tired and would be going to bed soon."At least you said yes," Tristan uttered, stroking her hair gently because she was lying in his arms."Imagine how much I would have cried tonight if you had said no," He added jokingly.Claudia faked a frown and turned to face him,"Why would I say no?" She asked him,"It's been four years Tristan, and I always felt like I'd know when you would propose, but you took me completely by surprise. My friend and coursemates have been texting me nonstop, I can't even respond to all of them today, I'm too tired.""Look," Tristan pointed at the clock hanging on the wall,"it's past midnight, 1:44 am. You can reply to them tomorrow, it's not that urgent, I'm so tired too.""Of course, I won't reply to them tonight, they should be asleep too, it's just me who is too excited to sleep, you look tired and you should sleep, don'
"Holy shit," Claudia exclaimed as she walked into the venue accompanied by Tristan, her hands over he mouth. Not only was it a pleasant surprise but it was in that she never anticipated.As soon as her eyes met her mothers, Claudia's heart melted, she quickly turned to Tristan and asked,"How did you get all of them here?" "I'll never tell," Tristan smirked before being enveloped in a warm hug from her, "Thank you so much," she uttered with tears in the corner of her eyes, after which she vanished into the crowd and began greeting everyone she met.Firstly, her mother. It has been nearly two years since they last met in person, her father was also present and she couldn't use words to express how grateful she was to them for showing up.Next was Tristan's mother, even since she moved to LA with Tristan, she barely saw the lady, and she was more than happy to meet her again. Ariana on the other hand was so grown and almost unrecognisable, that she hugged the young woman before procee
“Sleeping?” Claudia smiled as she walked into the room and gazed upon her handsome man on the bed. Her entrance had disturbed his sleep but he didn’t mind.“Welcome back,” Tristan greeted her while running his finger over his sleepy eyes. He quickly stole a glance at the clock to ensure that he hadn’t slept past the time he wanted to, unfortunately he had. But he didn't panic so much, Claudia had gotten back an hour earlier, so all he needed to was to get ready and urge her to get dressed too."How was work?" He inquired, trying to keep the conversation simple because he had told her nothing about the party."Stressful, as always," She sat next to him on the bed, she placed a kiss on his cheek and stood up immediately, she wanted to take shower before anything."I told you not to go to work on your birthdays, it is not that big of a deal, if your boss as much as threatens to fire you, I'll buy the hospital and make you the owner." Tristan flaunted with a smirk as he threw his head b
"Do you think she will like it?" Tristan asked as he stared at the hall that had been decorated for more than a million dollars."It looks great, don't worry, she will like it." His mother tapped his back with a smile. "By the way, when does she get back from the hospital?" she asked."5 pm, " Tristan answered, and suddenly noticed that he wasn't seeing his cake."Where is the cake?" He asked."Her cake?" his mom asked and he nodded,"I don't know, but it can't be here by now, it'll melt before she even shows up, it's just noon. I want to go get my nails done, and it's going to be a grad party." His mother excitedly walked out of the hall."I'll go with Mom, don't worry brother, she will love it," Ariana hugged him before running out of the hall after her mother, she also wanted to get her nails done.Tristan drew a chair from the set-up, and sat down with a sigh, he couldn't believe that it had been four years since the system left, and it had been four years since he met Claudia.
