Nicholas opened his eyes as he stretched, smiling to himself. He turned to meet an empty space beside him. He frowned and Jessica had stalled away. He stood up and walked into the bathroom still in the euphoria of the moments he shared with Jessica. He smiled widely like a child as he relieved himself of the weight he felt in his loins. His stomach made funny sounds as Nicholas pondered on taking a bath or attending to his stomach first. He finally gave into attending to his stomach.He walked to the kitchen to see a steaming hot breakfast, but did not meet Jessica as he sat to eat his gaze fell on the colourful sticky note on the fridge.He walked to the fridge with a mouth full of food. He picked the note as he read through it, He started with smiles which turned into a deep frown. Nicholas took the note in hand and tried to continue his meal which suddenly turned sour to him. He read the note again as if to cross check what he read.Nicholas dropped the cutl
Maya stirred the coffee taking the paper she got that morning, she stared at it and squinted being unable to see anything. She sipped her coffee as if they were antidotes for her eyes and took a look at the paper again and everything became clear, though slowly but it did eventually.She smiled at the paper as she couldnʼt help it. Maya put the paper aside sipping her coffee happily. She had a gold mine in her closet and was going to dig right into it.She had successfully untangled herself from Mrs Howard although her instincts told her sheʼd be back if she let her guard down.Venessa on the other hand, wasnʼt interested in playing. All Maya needed to do was figure a place to move her stuff, get a new place and get back to business. Meghann the thoughts came easy! But she had beads of sweat anytime she tried drafting a working plan.Maya searched some loan apps and applied for some because she really needed money, she had successfully paid off the penalties from the court.Maya appl
Nicholas opens the door to see Lindsay and another lady, He opened the door as he received them smiling briefly."Good morning Mr Nicholas." Lindsay greeted Nicholas, "where's Andre?" She asked to go in."He's asleep, We had a long night." Nicholas said washing some veggies."So I brought the lady," Lindsay said, referring to the lady."What's her name?!" Nicholas asked, "She seems advanced! Like can she handle Andre and his you know." Nicholas asked worriedly."You can find out when you speak with her." Lindsay said walking to the living room.Nicholas follows as he takes a seat,He takes a deep breath as he examines the lady for a while before asking her some questions."Hi I'm Nicholas Graham." Nicholas began. "And, I'm sure Lindsay must have filled you in.""Yes sir." The lady replied to his question, squeezing her hands briefly.Andre walks into the living room in his pyjamas rubbing his sleepy eyes. He walked to where Nicholas sat and got curled up in his arms."Andre, this is
Nicholas drove a little further and turned to look at Lindsay after parking his SUV by the roadside.“Are you still angry?” Nicholas asked, observing her a little. “ look I know its_” “They're low life fraudsters Nicholas!! What donʼt you understand by that?!” She thundered. “If the company gets associated with them it could pose a threat to other engagements!”“Itʼs just to ship the goods in, the government arenʼt doing anything about it, what do you expect from me?!” Nicholas asked, seeming stressed by her further perseverance.“Jesus Lindsay, give me a break!!” He says igniting the engine now, angry.He wondered why Lindsay was acting up, not like they were completely useless, they had some government pass for the port and used it to ship illegal items but Nicholas wanted to bring in some goods he ordered from China, he wouldnʼt be able to do some tech work if they werenʼt available which would cost them their current contract.But Lindsay did not want to
Jessicaʼs flight landed as they climbed down the plane, she held her luggage with a frown the other lady followed smiling wildly. She was Jessicaʼs cousin, Mandy was much younger than Jessicashe had a short blonde and men one could call her queen of the rings! She hands so many knuckle rings, nose rings, earrings and belly button rings. She wore baggy ripped jeans and a crop top and a jacket with the buttons open. She wore headphones and sneakers to compliment her dress.“New York is beautiful!!” She screamed, drawing the attention of other passengers.“You should act in accordance.” Jessica said looking good in her slightly protruding stomach.They booked a ride and went to the apartment Jessica rented.Jessica sat while rubbing her stomach slightly, as she gulped down the bottle of water she held in her hands trying to figure out how to see Nicholas, she turned to Mandy and smiled...........Nicholas sat at his desk as Lindsay announced a guestʼs entry through the telecom.Mandy wa
Maya woke up jerking on her bed, Nicholas stared at her not willing to move, he fixed his gaze at his phone and Maya continued to jerk as the machines made distorted sounds.Nicholas runs out of reflex to keep Maya in place as Mayaʼs lips meet his, he quickly withdraws himself as a Nurse holds Maya from falling again.Nicholas clears his throat as he walks briskly to the bathroom, he runs the tap and cleans his lips, specifically like he encounters something allergic.Nicholas walked to the car park without returning to Mayaʼs room as Lindsay meets him in a half run.“Why did you leave in such a rush?” She asked, looking at him carefully.“Nothing.” He said frowning. “If you're ready letʼs leave.” Nicholas says entering his sleek ride after his last word. “Okay,” Lindsay says, still staring at him. “Do you feel her pain?” Lindsay asked, trying to fix her seatbelt with great difficulty, it suddenly seemed like her hands werenʼt functional.“Iʼm allergic to her being.” Nicholas said le
Damian got tips of Jessicaʼs return to Brooklyn from a source. He tried reaching out to her severally but couldnʼt get through. Jessica got dressed preparing for another attempt in two weeks to get Nicholas' attention. She wasnʼt deterred. She needed to get to him one way or another. She wiggles the bunch of keys in her hands with a little difficulty as she turns to see Damian. She jittered in fright as she put her hand across her chest squeezing her dress a little. “Someoneʼs gotta put a bell on you!.” She exclaimed, frowning.“You've been ignoring me, why?” Damian asked, visibly angry. “You mind telling me about my child now Jess?” He added.“Heʼs not your child Damian, I've got things to do.” She said, trying to leave.“No you donʼt,” He said, holding her back. “We're going to the hospital to get DNA right now.” He said pulling Jessica.“No Iʼm not following you to any fucking Hospital Damian, youʼd better let go of my hands right now!!” She was still struggling to be free.“I t
Nicholas walked to his door as soon as he heard the doorbell ring. He walked to the door after inspecting it through the electronic monitor to see some police officers. He opens the door raising his eyebrows in confusion and wondering why they were at his place. He opened the door and stepped out to speak with the police men. “Hi, I donʼt think I need an introduction or do I?” Detective Mendel said.“Maybe you donʼt, but you need to explain why you're here,” he said cautiously. “Yeah, letʼs skip the introduction part. Iʼm here with my chief and you're under arrest for the assault of Miss Jessica Greg.” He said bringing out a handcuff.“Wait wait thereʼs been some kind of mistake,” Nicholas said staring at the cuffs in fear, he hated it.“Please you have to cooperate else anything said will be used against you in the court of the law.” Detective Mende said cuffing him while leading him to the car. Hannah runs out having watched the scenario from the window.“Donʼt worry about me, sta
