Maya strolled out of her room to the kitchen to meet her mom and brother. Laura was preparing lunch as Shawn sat idly by pressing his phone.“Maya honey,” Laura said, stirring the stew. “ I wasnʼt expecting you to be up till much later” she said smiling.“ I'm awake now,” She said as she drew a seat and sat on it .Laura hands her her meds and a bottle of water maya takes it from her, Mayaʼs face seemed pale she took the drugs in one go.“I'll serve lunch soon,” Laura Said facing the pot.“Leave mine in the microwave,” Maya said, putting on her jacket as she headed for the front door. Laura stares at Maya then at Shawn who shrugs as he continues pressing his phone.“ you're so useless!!” She cursed attempting to hit Shawn...........Mr Morgan turned his chair to see the intruder whom his secretary fought hard to stop from accessing his office. On turning he sees Maya. "Allow her,” Morgan said, frowning to his secretary. “ Maya Shay,” He says, flashing his fine dentition. “ I wasnʼt
Nicholas walked into the florist store with Lindsay as he flashed a smile, his eyes glittering like an ocean with which the sun graced its beauty.“ Hi Erika” He said to the female attendant at the florist store. “Mr Nicholas Good morning sir.” She said beaming with excitement.“ I'm back for the white Roses,” He said. “I'll have a large bouquet” He said flashing a smile.As they waited for the female attendant to pack their order some other customers strolled in amongst them were Maya Shay.She also requested a white rose bouquet. Nicholas turned his back on them; he didnʼt want any confrontation. But his prayers were not one to be fulfilled.Juanita walked in holding a tote bag to herself. Juanita wore a flowery yellow dress with black boots. She walked towards the counter as she exchanged pleasantries with Maya.Nicholas Graham knew for sure he wasnʼt going to make it out okay. All the ladies he liked, loved or knew stood there buying white roses.
The radar in the prison beeped as the warden led Bob Fisher out into the visiting room. As he takes his seat.“You came, finally,” he says, balancing in his seat. “Your friend said you were missing." He said it with a smirk. “Thank God you're found." He totted“I thought we were meant to be lovers?!” Maya asked, burning with fury."Well, we actually are,” he said calmly. “Or aren't we?!” He said this, raising his voice a little.“You kidnap me, you conniving little dimwit!!!!” She says her eyes are flashing with danger!.“Easy with your choice of words,” he said, laughing. “I mean, you'll be insulting the US prison protocol.” He grinned from ear to ear.“You Bastard!!” She cursed. “I'll make you pay every penny you took from me!”“Speaking of a penny, you still owe me 6.5 billion dollars,“ he said, flicking his finger. “I only took 4 billion dollars, and it's left with 6.5.“ He said this, raising his voice as he flashed his eyes. The warden hits his baton on the wall like a warning.“
Nicholas made a fist as he loosened his tie, walking aggressively towards the room Juanita was in. He walked angrily down the halls to the room Juanita was in. He throws the door open to see Juanita packing her things in a rush. His gaze fell on the bag as he menaced towards her, grabbing her wrist tightly. “Nicholas, you're hurting me,” Juanita says, her eyes watering. “What did she have on you?!” He asks gently as Juanita struggles to get her hands freed. “Answer me!” He said, his voice thundering. “You know nothing about me!!” She says this, looking at Nicholas angrily. “So don't stand there and question me like some saint, which you're not!!!” She says she feels tears rolling down her cheeks. “No, you're wrong, Juanita! I know you, yes, I do!” He says it angrily. ”I know you're a charming chameleon!" Nicholas began, tightening his grip around her wrists as he pushed her to the wall. “I also know you're a greedy lowlife and a scheming pitshot,” he said, pushing her to the wall.
Nicholas dressed in a black suit,He held his umbrella as the priest said the final rites for Juanita. They were just a few mourners. Mal and Lindsay stood besides him too,monitoring his every mood.The priest sang some hymns as finally the mourners dispersed.Nicholas dropped the bouquet on her grave side.”Let pure love and uniqueness guide you home” He says.“Iʼm sorry for the loss” He said turning to Mr Jang Shin.“She was a good girl that did nothing but good,” Jang began sniffing. “ And she took the wrong turn, so it's nobody's fault”. He concluded by wiping tears away from his eyes as he sobs into his handkerchief. “She didnʼt deserve to die! My Juanita didnʼt deserve to die” He cried, shaken by pain.“I totally understand and I'm sorry for dragging her into my mess” Nicholas apologised, his voice cracked a bit. “Iʼm available if thereʼs anything youʼll be needing”. Nicholas said leaving Mr Shin,his eyes had a thin shed of red.Nicholas felt a
Bob Fisher opened his eyes gradually as they adjusted to the light.He tried to use his right hand to shield his eyes from the brightness but they were cuffed as he raised his left hand he felt a sting from the needle. “ Ouch!” He exclaimed, frowning. He raises them carefully this time as he tries to sit upright. “ Welcome back Mr Fisher.” The doctor said "holding a chart in hand." You've been sleeping for a while now, Thank God you made it" The doctor says smiling warmly. “How are you feeling?” He asked further. “Tired,” Bob said, using his left hand to feel his neck wound. “Any pain?” The doctor asks as he observes Bob and scribbles some notes on his chart. “Yes, My head hurts,” Bob said, relaxing his back a bit. “I'll ask the nurse to induce some extra painkillers,” The doctor says. “Youʼll be fit in two days, hopefully” He concludes putting his pen away. Bob knew that he wasnʼt safe outside the prison walls at least not yet. He was yet to figure out a plan to escape the loa
Nicholas sat fiddling with his ball point pen as Lindsay sat in front of him sorting some files as she itched with curiosity and finally asked. “So_you met with Maya Shay?” She asked, still going through the documents vaguely as she peered at the absent minded Nicholas.“Hmmhmm” He responded. “ Iʼm yet to get her response,” He says, frowning.“Sheʼll come around” Lindsay says as she continues with the documents she held in her hands.“Howʼs Mr Jang?” He asked, turning to face his table as he picked some of the documents Lindsay arranged in a neat stack.“Heʼs fine, we sent him some supplies but he complained of having nightmares" Lindsay responded. “Do you think we should pay Maya Shay a visit?” She asked, looking at him.“No!” Nicholas said in a calm but authoritative manner. “She should come to me, I'll wait patiently” He says, raising his head to look Lindsay in the eyes.“Okay,” Lindsay says, giving in as she continues to arrange the documents .All she wanted was for Nicholas to
Nicholas woke up with a serious banging sensation as he made to get up from his bed, he noticed he was still dressed in the attire he wore the previous night. He stared at his feet but he had no shoes on, just his socks. Nicholas sits up as he heaved a sigh of relief while strolling into the bathroom. He couldnʼt see clearly as he splashed water on his face calling himself to consciousness. He took a long look at the mirror brushing his messy hair to lay neatly. He moved to his kitchen and brought out a bowl pouring the contents of the Cereal box into it as he added some milk and settled down to eat. He almost choked out of shock to see Mal and Lindsay all dressed up staring at him. “What the?!” He exclaimed. “ How did you get into my apartment?” He asked, still eating from his plate. "And why are you staring like that!" He asked both Lindsay and Mal. “You granted us access last night, How much did you take?” Mal asked, rolling his eyes at him. "That you can't remember anything yo
After Nicholas had finally succeeded in “humiliating me and doing exactly what he wanted.” Davios could not even do anything. All those things “pissed me off so badly.” But I could not say a word and instead just pretended and kept silent. Of course, I cannot say a word yet because I have no right. “Again.” He literally stripped me of all my rights right there in my presence. I cannot even say anything or even do anything. Even when I tried to talk to him, the council members immediately signaled for me to sit down. “Want to be in the Mansion and if I still want to be respected, I had no choice but accept what he wants.” I felt so angry. I felt like I was about to run mad. This was not how I planned it, but definitely, I know that one thing. “I’d actually succeeded.” Darius had finally made everything so obvious to me. He had finally made everything work perfectly for me. Because I know that he looked very angry and vengeful the last time we were having a discussion. “And I know he'
Watching them all argue together, I couldn't help but feel so sad and heartbroken. I never wanted it to turn out like this. I never wanted Darius and Nicholas to end up fighting each other no matter what, because I just wanted them to be at peace with each other. But none of that was happening. I just had to sit there like a stone and watch them argue and hate each other. And I know that this was all the plan of Nora. It was more than obvious that Nora was the one doing all this. I could see it in the way she smiled when she looked at me. It was like she was signaling me that her plans were working out just the way she wanted it to. And I could not do anything about it. Even Darius looked at me with pity. But I was not able to even make a move because I don't want to offend Nicholas in any way. And the only way to be on his good side is by silently sitting down there and watching. “Give me that position. I did not want that position no matter what.” It was soon time for the counci
Standing up against Nicholas. I know it was a really bad thing now, something I'm not supposed to do. But I know that I have to do it because I have to at least show it to my mother that I'm ready to protect her and I'm ready to stand by her. But if I am not able to stand up for her, then she would continue to see me as somebody who is weak for my brother. And I am really not like that. I turn my attention back to Nicholas and make sure that my frown was deep enough for him to realize that I was really angry with him. “You cannot just take away my mother's position like that. I know that that's what she wanted to do since everyone was whispering about it, everyone was literally talking about it. Even the males were already pointing it out that you don't want my mother to be the Leader anymore. And I would not just accept that. At least think of it. Laura is not even ready to become a Leader. If you ask her a million times, she doesn't want it,” I said to Nicholas, hoping he would li
Once the meeting was already about to commence, I couldn't help but anticipate waiting for Nicholas to make that one mistake that will make Darius finally side with me. And he did it. He cleared his throat and stood up from the Position as everyone bowed to him. He looked so angry, but his gaze was still on Laura. As his gaze on Laura seemed a bit softened, I knew that something was definitely about to happen. I could not wait. Despite the fact that I was going to lose my Leader position anytime soon, I still could not wait and was anticipating what he was going to do to me. How he was going to betray his brother by taking away the one thing that makes me a royal in this Mansion. I stood. I sat down and watched as he began his speech. “Thank you everyone for showing up here. I am really grateful that you guys came here at this time and the fact that you guys have been patient with me enough despite the fact that I never wanted to have another Partner because of what have always happ
Laura was not "rejecting it because she liked being poor." She was "rejecting me because she was slowly losing feelings for me." This was clearly all Darius's fault. It made me so angry that I rolled my hand into a fist, hiding it behind me so she would not see it and think maybe I am angry at her thinking about everything. I felt so angry at Darius I just wanted to crush his head into pieces. But I can't do that. Instead, I'm going to get to Leader Nora. I would make sure that Nora lets go of that position as the Leader. She's going to give it to Laura no matter what. There is nothing Laura will tell me. I guess for me to do this and for my plan to work out, I don't need to tell Laura anymore. Instead, I just need to put it into action. I looked at Laura with a smile and placed my hand on her shoulder. "You don't have to worry, Laura. I won't stress you too much anymore and I won't bother you. I see that you don't want it and I don't plan on forcing it on you. I don't want to force
I don't know why, but no matter what I do, Laura "does always find a way to annoy me." She "always looks for a way to piss me off." She "always does things that would make me want to yell at her, want to yell at her angrily." And now I don't know what to do. I feel so frustrated. I can't believe I am clearly giving her a higher position and she's dragging with me that she "does not want to take that position and wants to go back to the slave quarters." I know I wasn't supposed to yell at her the way I did, but I don't have a choice. She just makes me so angry and so frustrated these few days that I don't know what to do. I watched her being harassed by Leader Nora, unable to control myself. Now I am taking away Leader Nora's position and giving it to her, yet she is pissing me off this way. I know how many ladies "would die for that position I am giving to her that she keeps rejecting." I know how many ladies "would want everything I am giving to her, but yet she's still doing this t
“How can they just come to me and expect me to believe whatever they say?” Yes, it has been hours now and I have not been doing any single work. They’ve changed my room from the usual slave quarters to now one of the concubines quarters, I guess, because I could not understand why I was taken to a better and higher grade. That was actually none of my business because I don’t really care much. I just want to be out of this place as soon as possible, because I don’t want to be forcing anything. And I know that Madame Betty is aiming at something for saying that I am now privileged and in a higher position. “It makes no sense to me.” I don't even care now. I am not allowed to eat in the kitchen with the meat anymore. They seemed to be acting so awkward, and they had given me a special place to eat, even though it was not part of the royal family. I had my dinner in silence, thinking about how everything was going. I have not seen Nicholas for some days now, and that made me a bit worri
I know that I am not supposed to listen to any words my mother said. And I've already vowed to myself that I would not listen to anything she said. Instead, I would do what my mind sets me to do. But something about the way she sounded last night made me a bit worried. It felt like she could see it, that we were going to lose our position as a royal family. But I know that can never happen because we are actually going to be a royal family for as long as possible after I have left the position as the Boss to Nicholas. “So why else would he want to dePosition my mother from being the Leader? Why can’t he just marry Laura Podoon, make her the Leader?” What is so special about that position that he wants to take it away from my mom? But thinking about it on and on, I couldn't help but be worried. Thinking and wondering what could possibly happen to my mom's position. “What would happen to all her dreams? I know how much she loved being in the royal family. How much she had worked jus
I don’t know why he keeps acting this way. I don’t know why he sees it in him to act like he cannot. “Take away this position from his brother. Why are you acting like this, Darius? I think you want us to end. Things this way, right? You want it to be this way. You want us to be forgotten in this Mansion. Let nobody even remember our name. Let nobody recall us anymore.” I think that is what you want, right? That is what you would like right now. “And I know it will make you so happy when you get to see it that we are pushed out of this Mansion. Laura takes over. I never even expected you to behave this way. I never even expected you to act this calm when Nicholas played with your mind, made you think that Laura was a nobody so you could fall in love with her.” “All those things, you already forgive him for it, like it is nothing.” I said to Darius, hoping he would listen to me. But he continued to shake his head sideways. “Mom, you can never force me to change. You can never tel
