"I'll take these,” Nicholas flashed a smile at the florist who blushed at the sight. “Don't mind if I ask but are the flowers for your girlfriend?” The florist who seemed to be a new employee at the shop question sheepishly. “You seem to be quite interested in my personal life,” he teased. “No! T-that’s not it, I'm sorry if I'm being nosy. I just thought that maybe I could give you a better suggestion if it was for a lover,” she mumbled the last part, looking at the floor unable to maintain eye contact with him. “It's alright,” he smiled amicably. “ I'm single.” “Then why don't you get white roses? I know red is a little too common but white is perfect as it symbolizes eternal love and loyalty,” the florist suggested. “I appreciate your suggestions but it would be so awkward to give my father white roses,” Nicholas ran his hand through his hair. “I forgot to add that I'm visiting my dad not a girl,” he added to make sure everything was clear. “I'
As wine goes with a finely cooked steak, so should wealth and happiness. But no! They keep conflicting, especially in my life. Nicholas thought as he walked into his apartment. His hand fumbled around the wall in search of the switch.He took a wine glass as he turned a glass full. Staring into space while running his hands through his hair, He kept wondering what would become of his father, Justin Graham. He was currently the only one he could call family.Thoughts of considering his fatherʼs request played as he shook his head waving the thoughts off. He lost his tie as he strolled to the bathroom, he paused and turned back as if forgetting something. He reaches out and grabs the bottle of wine as he makes a bath for himself giving in to his thoughts......The beeping sound from his phone brought him into consciousness.Nicholas took the phone scrolling through the messages that just popped up and also and also to some missed calls.Nicholas flung a towel around his waist as He str
Maya looked herself over again in the mirror as she adjusted her cleavages to sit properly where they could be seen. She smiled while applying some more makeup.“Donʼt you think youʼre a bit ahead with this_this Morgan” Tania asked “Wealth is for those willing to take a new step at every opportunity glaring at them” Maya said smiling as she turned to look at Tania whoʼs sitting on the bed.“Bobʼs past tense now” She said “It will only take a miracle to get him back to the status that befits me “ She said trying to pick a matching purse.“Yeah Bobʼs past tense but have you considered this Morgan guy” she said pressing further.“I'll be careful honey” Maya said to Tania “ I just donʼt want Nicholas to ever have a reason to think heʼs better off” she said frowning “I'll never recover from that trauma” she said, sliding her heels on.“Besides Mr Morgan is one ticket for that” she said her smiles flashing back.“Alright then, seems youʼve got it all figured out” Tania said, giving in “jus
Nicholas and Mal walked out of the hospital after he had gone to pay his father another visit. He frequently did so because he never knew when the old man would check out.They chatted happily as they approached the parking lot. “Good day Mr Nicholas “ Detective Mendel said “Iʼm Detective Mendel from the Central police station”. He said producing a badge.”Andy this is my colleague, Detective Bryan” He said as Detective Bryan waves.“Okay,” Nicholas said as he shared a glance with Mal.“You're invited to the station for questioning,” He said, replacing his badge.“What for?” Nicholas asked as He tried to maintain a vague posture.“In regards to the Miss Maya Shayʼs missing case”. He said. “Please we ask you to cooperate with us.” “Okay,” He said calmly, turning to Mal. “Ask Lindsay to contact Barrister Stewart.” He said facing the detectives. '`Gentle men, Shall we?''They escorted Nicholas to the car and took him to the station. ....…...Nicholas entered the car quietly as he peere
Detective Mendel stared at the car in front of him as he cross checked the plate number with the one on the note. As the car strolled through the night down south he followed at snail speed.Soon the car came to a stop in front of a phone booth as the passenger came down and moved cautiously using the phone. As he noticed the Detective watching him. The stranger quickly dropped the call and hopped into his car zooming off.Detective Mendel chased him immediately, the chase continued through to an abandoned hotel there the stranger came down from his vehicle and began running down some abandoned buildings Detective Mendel shot at the strangerʼs left leg. As he approaches the stranger cautiously aiming his gun he meets no one, searchʼs the surrounding buildings but finds no one.He returns to where the car was parked as he approaches the car it blows off throwing him far off as he shields his head. The car burned as its flames went high.........Lindsay walks into Nicholasʼs office pi

"There's a lot of eyes on the case presently" "we need to think fast" He said. “The police are in on this case and wouldnʼt go down well if weʼre caught” The young man continued. “Weʼll be losing on every side” He paused as the man on the other end responded after a long wait. “ Demand for the ransom and fill me in.” The voice said calmly as the line disconnected. The young man puts on his hoodie as he walks out of the vicinity. ......
