Nothing was the same anymore, the normal life of waking up and heading to the gym to lift some weights had changed and now all Mc could do was wake but wrap himself up in the thick bed sheets avoiding conversations with everyone. "You need to eat my friend, your father wouldn't be happy if he was here to watch you live like this, you still need to be healthy." Khan would alway say whenever he saw him like that.Someone knocked at the door but Mc said nothing, he didn't care if they decided to enter or leave, the young master just wanted to be left alone.The door opened silently and someone seemed to have walked closer, they said nothing and the room was quiet for sometime, it was quite unusual because Mc had become used to people walking in and starting to talk right away "I'm sorry but everything will be fine." they would always say.This time, Mc opened the sheets he covered all over his head and he saw Emily standing in front of him with a tray of food."I brought you some food. I
"I'm so happy to see you again." Mellisa hugged Mc tightly in the blue lights of his room and he felt the tender touch of her blossoms resting on his chest as she held onto him tighter, "I missed you so much," she added, breaking out to hug him again ad place her head on his chest this time, but Mc hadn't said a single word, all he did was smile calmly."It's good to see you," he finally uttered, sitting on his bed."It's so good to see you too honey, when I heard the news, I was so worried about you." She sounded so genuine, she was following the script she'd planned so perfectly."Yeah, it felt bad. I mean it still feels bad but, what has happened has happened.""I know it feels more painful considering the fact that you didn't get to know him even for a year." She said with a pity face. She was good at being fake to get what she wanted and it always worked out for her. "It's not the best feeling losing the people we love, you know.""Trust me Mc, I feel your pain, I'm sorry.” “It
It wasn't a happy day as the atmosphere at the cemetery was filled with tension, there was a mixture of sombre reflection and the buzzing energy of anticipation as they gathered to say their final goodbyes to the man who left a legacy that was huge enough to be the talk of the city. The sun, casting its warm hues across the sprawling landscape, illuminated Melissa and her friend Sonia among the mourners dressed in various shades of black, but Melissa added a different touch to her black dress as it managed to reveal her curves and the black hijab to match made her mysterious "I feel so cold right now," she whispered in her friend's ear and Sonia could see the steam from her mouth as she uttered each word, "I know, I feel cold too." "Mc looks like he's gonna cry any Moment. It's more sad that his best friend Michael isn't here. He's at the hospital, he had an accident." "Oh that's touch. WellI hope he doesn't cry, he's really gone through alot." "Yeah Sonia, I feel so sad for him, I
The time Boris Churchill was waiting for had finally come, the family lawyer, being a very busy man, was in a hurry to attend to the will of Ethan Milburn right in front of everyone that matters, before he would get to other duties that called. "Trust me I will definitely make it in time, I will call you when I'm done here. Just get every file ready" He assured someone on a phone call. The room was perfectly lit in the Milburn Mansion and the environment remained welcoming as always. While lost in thoughts, Mc realised he will have to walk past the door to his father's bedroom with no hopes of ever seeing the old man taking a nap or some tea as he used to, he was never coming back!They'd just returned from the burial and everyone was still in their black dresses. Mc sat at the head of a long glass table. Around him was Alvaro Milburn his uncle, Mr. Arjun Khan his father's best friend and business associate, Boris Churchill the family lawyer and other family lawyers Mc didn't really
"Darling I don't know what to do I'm just so confused right now." Paula cried bitterly on her daughter's shoulders, Melissa arrived just a few minutes ago and the white silk shirt she wore was already wet with her mothers tears."It's alright, it's alright mum," her tender voice could give hope to the woman, but Paula knew her marriage was already tempered with, and it could not be the same again. "He left with so much anger, I wanted to confess to him, I always wanted to tell him before he found out." "He loves you mum, he'll be back.""But Mc loved you too, he could even take a bullet for you, but he left the moment he found out about Jeremy.""Well dad's not Mc!""But he is a man! They are all men, Melissa!" She lost control of the tears again, holding on tight to her daughter."Have you tried to call him? To Know where he is?""He's not ready to talk to me, he's ignoring all my calls. We've been together for so long Melissa, I can't lose him now. It was just a periodic mistake,
Mc woke up from a nap hearing the repeated sound of a ball bouncing on the hard floor outside. He'd always appreciated the presence of a lovely basketball court in the mansion, but this time, he wasn't so pleased being woken up from his nap. "Oh Shit!" He sat upright to rob his eyes a little, it had been a tough time trying to run the Milburn empire, his attention was always needed and he didn't appreciate being disturbed in the little free time he had. "Who's that?" He asked himself, walking towards the window, opened to see who had been running around the court with a bouncy ball, "Oh wow!" he exclaimed to the sight of Emily with her sweaty body bouncing the ball around the court. He didn't know she played basketball and he didn't know she'd taken him seriously when he asked her to feel free "Emily, feel free to use my basketball court sometimes. It's cool to exercise, there's a lot of things you could do outside the kitchen." He said to her a week ago. "Wow, she does play the gam
"It's Melissa! Bro I swear to God it's gotta be Melissa!" Michael held his best friend's hand tightly, the veins in his neck stretching. It had been over an hour since they'd been trying to guess who was behind the kidnap of Emily. Mc looked around Michael's room aimlessly and just said the words, " She's capable of doing that, I know.""Yes! Look at it this way, she was your wife, she lost you and now you've become the man of any woman's dream. Boom! She wants you back but can't get you. She figures out that you've fallen for Emily and she sees Emily as a threat...""And then she tries to get Emily out of the way!""Exactly! That's it Mc! That bitch did it! She got Emily. She's been wanting you for herself the whole time.""But I never thought she was capable of doing something like that.""Everyone's capable of everything Michael. Everyone!"“I've been calling her since yesterday.”“And let me guess, she's not picking up?”“Yeah she's not.”“She must have left the city, she hasn't b
"I can't believe the fingers are pointing at me again!" Mellisa walked from one side of the room to the other aimlessly, she was angry trying to make her mother believe she had nothing to do with the missing girl."I'm not saying you did it.""Well your face says it all. When Jeremy was shot, people thought it was me! Now Emily is missing, people still think it's me. Ok that's no problem, someone is trying to blackmail you and you will soon say it's me!""No honey I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't say anything like that.""Sometimes I feel like I'm alone in this world. I just don't get why y'all always think the worst of me. Especially dad""They tried to catch the kidnapper yesterday but they failed.""I don't care. You all owe me an apology when the real piece of shit is finally caught by the police. I came here to keep you company because dad left you, and now you want me to leave you too.""I don't want you to leave.""Then stop hurting my feelings!" She screamed!*****In the hushed
