Posters and postcards were all over Brooklyn. The Higher ups bought seats while the average resigned to sitting amongst the crowd.People of different colours and nationalities trooped into Brooklyn for the fashion show! The host was and always remains a promising gift to the fashion world. So they didnʼt bother about how much they spent just to honour her invitation. Her brand was so awesome and durable!Lindsay kept pressing to Nicholas the need to attend. She really wanted to go, she just didnʼt want to go alone so she had to push Nicholas, Mal wasnʼt available. She would have hung onto him without stressing much. He really didnʼt see any reason to, Not until Jessica asked she started her fashion icon would be there. Nicholas knew he had to make up for the last time so he didn't give it a rethink.Lindsay was happy she still attended the show and for what itʼs worth she wouldnʼt be seated amongst the crowd but with the higher ups.Maya came with her assistant and she was really lo
Nicholas walked into Mr Grahamʼs ward while holding Andre as Stephanie and Lindsay followed them holding a big picnic basket. Lindsay held a sealed tuxedo for Mr Graham to Change into. “Hey Dad.” Nicholas said, beaming with excitement. “Hello Mr Graham,”ʼAndre said as his curiosity kicked in, causing him to touch some stuff.”Will my mom get treated now?!” Andre asked. “Andre” Stephanie called him cautiously. “Good morning Mr Graham.”ʼshe said, greeting Mr Graham who sat on his bed smiling excitedly. “Ready to go on a road trip?” Nicholas asked, smiling. “Good morning Mr Graham,” Lindsay greeted him with a kiss on his cheeks. “I thought youʼd be coming with Jessica?” He asks searchingly. “Sheʼs currently on a business trip and apologises for not being available.”ʼLindsay says as she exchanges glances with Nicholas. He heaved a sigh of relief, what was he going to say anyways? How would he explain the complexity of the issue at hand. Jessica was actually being self entered like
Maya was charged to court by Nicholas for the defamation of Jessica Gregʼs character. A proper investigation was carried out and there was evidence to prove that Jessica was innocent of the accusations levelled against her.Jessica wore a plain corporate dress as she packed her hair ponytail style. She wore diamond earrings and a complimenting necklace on flat shoes. She came by herself one could tell there was something going on between her and Nicholas.Jessica also preferred her lawyer over Nicholasʼs. Nicholas attended the hearing either way. His aim mainly was to see Maya fall.“Yeah, call me self centred.” He thought to himself as he entered the courtroom with Lindsay by his side. The judge entered as the clerk announced and then the hearing began.Nicholas was a bit distracted to listen to the details of the hearing. He kept frowning at his phone during the hearing.“Are you going to miss the judgesʼ sentence?” Lindsay asks as she nudges him. Nicholas nods as if to shake the no
Venessa waves her hands as Maya walks into the restaurant. She walked to where Venessa sat. “I thought youʼd never call,” Venessa said as Maya took a seat. “Well I'm here now, I've been busy with our customers' orders outside the state.” Maya says in a collected tune. Venessa smiles carefully while nodding to what Maya said, She behaved like Mrs Howard.They placed their various orders as they discussed over their lunch. “I learnt you had a case in court, How was your hearing?” Venessa began. “Well it wasnʼt what I expected but then,sometimes we lose and other times we win.” Maya said, looking at Vanessa. “Right?” She asked. “I totally agree, I mean thatʼs how we learn.”Venessa nods.Maya was yet to understand the lady who sat in front of her. she sounded vengeful. “I'll tell you a little secret that made my success story” she continued as she wiped her mouth with a napkin. “After I graduated from fashion school, I lost my parents. My teacher, Mrs Howard, set up a shop for me and
Nicholas puts his hands in this pocket as he walks into the Grahamʼs,throwing his long legs majestically. He greeted the staff with smiles.“Looking Good, Mind sharing?!” Lindsay asks after contacting the contagious charisma Nicholas wore.“ Do you have a reason to live?” Nicholas asks bending to meet Lindsayʼs height, she raises her brows in a questioning manner. “Then I donʼt think I have a reason to tell.” He said continuing in his journey to his office.“Okay, You seem quite suspicious!” Lindsay says as she follows him to his office.“The board meeting is,” Lindsay says, glancing at her wrist watch. “Starting in the next five.” She says.“Then what are we waiting for?”ʼNicholas picks his tab as he asks.He walked into the meeting as they discussed company issues, relating to stock,media and possible collaborations with bigger companies.As they continued in the meeting a reminder message pops up, Nicholas stares at his screen “Jessicaʼs Birthday ''. He frowns at the message and co
Maya couldnʼt bear the curiosity, Her heart raced as the face of her stalker remained hidden. She falls to the ground in a blackout.Maya slowly opens her eyes to see herself in bed. She rubbed her eyes as if to wipe the numbness she felt. She looks around to see herself in her bedroom at her momʼs apartment.She cursed under her breath as she tried to come to sit up. As if the events of the previous flashed through her head. She quickly gets off the bed as she runs out of her room.“Hey Maya, I was about to serve you a hangover soup,” Laura said, stirring the pot.“How did I get home?” She asked worriedly as her face curved in a frown.“A good gentleman brought you home, seeing you were pretty wasted.” Laura said.Maya couldnʼt recall anything, she held her head slightly as she slumped into a seat.She needed to see a Doctor else she might run mad, pretending she was fine. Maya walked into the hospital and sat at the reception after meeting with a nurse to check her appointment. She t
Maya walked out of the police station brushing her dress, she had just lodged a complaint with the video on her CCTV camera. And also her Doctors report on the inducement of Hypnotics. She couldnʼt trash the icy feeling that Mrs Howard was planning something huge, getting the police involved was the best she could do. She smiled knowing she had played her cards well.She had coffee with Venessa that day and she was most relieved.“I'm sorry for not calling back in time.” Venessa apologised for the umpteenth time. She allowed herself to feel guilty for Mayaʼs troubles.“How was your fashion show in Africa?” Maya asked while taking a seat.“It was colourful and successful!” Venessa said smiling.Maya filled her up on the details of the past days, as Venessa listened carefully.“_Do you think Mrs Howard belongs to some cult?” Maya asked suspiciously.“I donʼt think so, but I've had my suspicions too.” She says.“I'll have the police investigate her a little before pointing fingers or leve
Quietus is a call to mortem, a call that severs our breath from our being and ushers us into a quiet sleep. We're all guilty of this sin! Calling and reciting the chronicles of quietus to put us out of our miseries. Maya sat by her desk staring at the documents, she wasnʼt thinking straight her thoughts drifted to Mrs Howard. She had not seen the old lady since she lodged a complaint at the station, for some reasons she feared her quietness and feared the nights even more. For two weeks she stayed at a hotel where she only picked her clothingʼs during the day. She couldnʼt tell when the lady would attack her cause she knew she was always watching. How could she explain these to someone and not be tagged mad?! Tania paid Maya a visit after her long solidarity. The duo had a lot to catch up on. “Maya honey, youʼve been through hell.” Tania said. “Do you sleep at all?” She asked Maya. “I donʼt think I get enough rest.” Maya said forcing herself to concentrate.What do you think ab
