Lindsay and Mal walked into the house to meet Nicholas. He was holding a cup of tea. It was beginning to snow outside and the atmosphere was generally cold and pale. Nicholas smiled when he saw them. He watched them come into the house with a huge smile on his face.

"Lindsay," he said. "What a pleasant surprise." He told her and she smiled back at him. So did Mal.

"Hello Nicholas." She said to him as he offered them seats which they took.

"How are you doing?" He asked her.

"I'm good. " She said as she glanced at Mal. Mal walked towards where she was smiling at Nicholas.

"Compliments of the season Nicholas." Mal said to him. Nicholas chuckled at that.

"It is the season of yuletide." He responded with a nod. "What can I offer y'all? I've got coffee and hot chocolate." He offered and Lindsay smiled at that.

"We're fine. " She said to her.

"Cut the crap Lind," Nicholas said. "I insist. What would you like to take?" He asked them as he glanced from Mal to Lindsay.

"We'll have cof

    Nicholas repeatedly paced back and forth in his study, he was lost in thoughts. The warmness of the crackling fire was doing quite little in trying to thaw the chill he felt from his conversation with Lindsay and Mal only just moments ago. Right at that moment, mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions, ones that he simply couldn't place a hold of or whatever it was that he had planned. Finally, as he found himself unable to contain his anxiety any longer, he grabbed his phone and dialled Lindsay’s number. He waited for the call to connect and when it did he let out a breath before he spoke."Lindsay?" Nicholas called as soon as she picked up. He tried his hardest to keep his voice calm, but the tension made him sound like a frantic little kid who was trying to ask his abusive parent for a Christmas present. Coincidentally, it was indeed Christmas and he was indeed asking her for something that would in some ways be beneficial to him. "Nicholas," she responded in a surprised v

    That evening, Lindsay and Mal were having dinner when her phone buzzed. It was a message from Nicholas: Can we talk tomorrow? I want to make things right. His message read. When she read it, she rolled her eyes as she looked to Mal who was happily eating his meal without any cares in the world. Lindsay showed the message to Mal, who nodded approvingly. "That's good. Maybe he’s coming around." He said as he put some veggies into his mouth and began to munch away. Lindsay looked at Mal for a few moments before she let out a sigh. "I do hope so," she said, feeling a glimmer of hope. "I hate being at odds with him." She said, He was such a good person to her and she wouldn't appreciate it if what they shared was tainted for whatever reasons. They had their dinner and went to bed that night. Mal was okay with her going to see Nicholas. He was his friend too, but he wanted to see his girlfriend getting along with her employer and friend. After all, they both met and came to know each ot

  • RISE OF THE ALMIGHTY HEIR    UNRULY DECISIONS

    Maya tried to call Bob's line but it wasn't going through. She hated whenever that happened. How could right thinking humans have phones and still find it difficult to take their calls? She thought in frustration. She paced around her house. It wasn't like she cared for Bob, it was just that they had already gotten deep into this thing they were doing and it seemed like there was no going back for her. She rolled her eyes as she walked away from the living room towards the kitchen to grab a fruit from the kitchen counter. When she got in, she saw that her mother was beginning to make dinner. She let out a sigh as she headed for what she wanted to get. The fruits. She could see a couple of them in a basket on the kitchen island. She dipped her hand and grabbed a banana. Turning to her mother, she peeled off the skin of the banana and put the soft fruit into her mouth as she bit and began to chew casually.."What are you making for dinner mom?" She asked her mother in between mouthfuls

  • RISE OF THE ALMIGHTY HEIR    RECKLESS ENDEAVOURS

    Maya could hardly sleep that night. She kept tossing and turning on her bed without finding rest. She groaned loudly as she felt herself getting more annoyed with the passing of the day. Her thoughts were so full of regrets, uncertainties, and the strange, annoying curiosity about Bob's recent absence as well as his attitude towards her. She thought about what to do and came to the conclusion that she was going to listen to what Tania had told her, to confront him at his house. That would be way more profitable and she would get something out of it. At the very least he would be able to open up to her on why he was being AWOL all of a sudden. Yes, she thought, that was the best thing to do. She concluded and went to sleep.The next morning, after tossing and turning for hours, she had finally decided to take Tania's advice and confront Bob in person and so she prepared in that aspect. Bob needed to explain to her what the hell was his problem and why he was ignoring her for over a lo

  • RISE OF THE ALMIGHTY HEIR    PUBLIC SHOWDOWN

    Bob sat in the café, nursing a coffee and trying to focus on anything but the storm brewing in his chaos that was his life. He knew he needed to clear his head, but it felt impossible with Maya's frustration. It was beginning to tell him so badly. Just as he was about to take another sip, the door swung open, and in walked Nicholas Graham. Nicholas spotted Bob immediately and made a beeline for his table, his expression hardened with each step. Bob let out a silent sigh. This was probably the last thing he needed at the moment. "Bob Fisher," Nicholas said in a disdainful voice as he stood over the table. "Fancy seeing you here." Nicholas said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, tainting his lips. Bob looked up with feigned nonchalance. "Nicholas. What brings you to this neck of the woods?" He asked him. Nicholas sneered. "Cut the crap, Bob. You know exactly why I'm here. I've heard the rumours. You're messing around with Maya, and now you're ducking her calls. What kind

  • RISE OF THE ALMIGHTY HEIR    THE PLAN

    Maya sat on a park bench, her mind raced with questions and doubts about what was to come that evening. She had impromptu accepted to meet with Bob after his unexpected phone call last night, and now she was ready to get some answers. As she watched him approach where she was, she steeled herself as she waited for whatever revelations were about to come. She was ready for whatever explanation he wanted to give to her. Bob walked up to her. He had a vague expression on his face. "Thanks for meeting me, Maya." Bob said as soon as he got to where she was. Maya nodded her head. Her face was unreadable so Bob couldn't see what she felt. "Let's just get to it, Bob. What do you need to tell me?" She told him without even mincing words. They both took their seats, and Bob inhaled deeply. "I've been an idiot, Maya." He said. "I've let my work stress and personal issues get in the way of our relationship." He began. Maya crossed her arms as she narrowed her eyes. "What personal i

  • RISE OF THE ALMIGHTY HEIR    ALL SET OUT

    Nicholas already had it all figured out. It was simple and he was ready to do it. He was just going to deceive Maya and Bob into believing that he was for them. He was going to act along with their schemes and then he was going to reap them off everything that they worked and sweated for. Yes, that was the ultimate revenge, he thought as he smiled proudly to himself. Bob Fisher and Maya Shay had grown into the enemies of his life and he was hell bent and determined on showing them who was the boss. With that thought in mind, Nicholas grabbed his phone as he called the guy he had asked to call Bob Fisher. The phone rang and was picked on the first ring and the voice flowed out of the speaker. "Hello?" It said and Nicholas sighed before he spoke. "It's Nicholas Graham." Nicholas said into the call. "How did it go?" He asked him. "It went well." The detached voice said from the speaker. "I called and informed Bob Fisher and I can say that he was beginning to believe what I ha

    Nicholas' eyes widened at that. Mal was on his way? He looked alarmed at that. Lindsay looked at him and she folded her hand as she did. "What are you going to do?" She asked him. "What do you mean what am I going to do?" He asked her. "What are we going to do?" He asked her. This wasn't just him. It was both of them. "It's not something to be scared about. " She said to him. "You're Mal's friend are you not?" She asked him. "What do you mean by that?" Nicholas asked as he gave her a hard look. Before Lindsay could respond to Nicholas' question, the door creaked open and Mal stepped into the room. as he came in, all eyes were turned on him. His presence was filled in the room, and as he entered Nicholas stiffened on seeing him. He became uncomfortable. At least he wasn't uncomfortable. Mal's eyes swept the room before settling on Nicholas and he let out a small smile on seeing them. "Nicholas, Lindsay," he greeted them, his tone was neutral but his gaze was penetrating a

  • You Want Him to Take Revenge

    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'

  • No Emotions

    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 Him

    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

  • No Improvement

    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

  • Your Poor Life

    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

  • Not Able to Help

    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

  • An Upgrade

    “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

  • Losing the Position

    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

  • You Don't Know What You Have

    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
