The hall was already getting ready for the party. It was going to take place in the evening until Mama called. The strange lady got there with her credentials in her hand. Keren took them and went to give them to Calvin. The lady decided to go to the event planner and join her and two other ladies in decorating the place. When they were done, Keren and Vivian were amazed at their sight. The place was so beautiful. Vivian knew that it wasn't just the ladies working; she decided to ask."Whose idea is this?"Everyone pointed at the lady. Keren and Vivian were both awed. They just could not believe it."How did you know how to do this?. This is very good. I love it."Thank you, Vivian."."I just can't believe my sight right now; it just seems like an invisible being did this. This is amazing. Thanks for making this day beautiful."It's nothing, Keren. My mom taught me all of these as a little girl when she was still alive.Vivian turned her back when she heard the lady say that."You los
The party had already begun. Darwin and the Irish arrived on the red carpet first. Irish was looking astonishing in her leather pants and mini crop top. Darwin wore a black four-breasted suit with a bow tie, and his shoes had glittering stones on them. It kept changing colors whenever he took a step. Just as they were taking pictures on the red carpet, Calvin and Keren arrived, and as soon as she came out of the door, everyone's eyes were fixed on her. She looked like someone who lived on another planet; everything about her just seemed extraordinary. Her hair was a silky blonde color. She had a crown placed on it, like she was a queen. Her nose ring was made of diamonds, and her gown was a gold long gown with a slit by its side. It had stones on it, like crystals. Each step she took brought out a bright, beautiful side of the gown. Her jewelry was expensive and glorious to behold. Her shoes were lovely, and they were gold as well. Her anklets were wonderful this time, so she decided
They all walked to the red carpet together, taking pictures and exchanging pleasantries. Vivian remembered that she had not seen her brother Darwin or his girlfriend around; she moved closer to Keren and whispered into her ear."Have you seen Darwin or the Irish?"."Umm, I think so. They should probably be inside; have you called them?"."I will do that now."She takes her phone from her purse and calls Darwin's phone. He felt the vibration in his pocket and decided to check who it was; it happened to be his sister, Vivian."Hey sis, hey.. sis, can you hear me?It was so loud outside that she could barely hear him. She ends the call and calls him back. This time he had removed it from vibration, so it rang aloud. The Irish had to ask who it was."It's Vivian. I could barely hear her the first time she called. I guess she's outside."We have to get going; she should be outside. And pick up the call as well.He picked up the call and walked outside with the phone in his ear. As soon as
She walks slowly to Calvin. He spread his arms wide open and received her. She laid her head on his chest and let her tears roll down her eyes. It was so hard for her to control it. She raises her head and looks right into his eyes."Calvin, I love you." Her words shattered to pieces; it was as though she had become a stutter. She took back her words and spoke to him with a constant gaze into his eyes."Calvin I love you so much. And I don't know what I'd be without you. She was given a microphone to use to talk. Everyone could not wait to hear those words she was saying to Calvin." Calvin I didn't see this coming; this was the least I expected. Whenever you have the slightest opportunity, no matter how tight it is, you always show me how much you love and care for me. You always show me how you ride on the back of a thousand crocodiles just to save me if I ever get into a problem. I have seen that your love could stretch around the world countless times, and when the world is covered
Henry collected the microphone and went to the front of everyone with a glass of champagne in his hand."Hello everyone, I'd like to make a toast first and foremost to my friend Calvin on his new endorsement with the Avalalin clothing company, and secondly to our up-coming wedding between him and the love of his life, Keren. And to my son, who just started walking today, and last but not least, to myself. For the wonderful recognition given to me, I want us to raise our glasses and make a toast.Everyone raised their glasses and made a toast. The music continued to play, and everyone began to dance. The party was coming to an end when Calvin and Henry saw their ex-teammate. He had told them that he was going to be around for the party because he had a friend he wanted to introduce to Henry. He wanted him to meet with Henry so he could help him secure a job at the Geftan Group of Companies because Henry was close to the CEO, Nathan Ethan."Hey Calvin, Henry How are you both doing?."We
When he heard that, he stopped and let go of Keren's hand. And I walked slowly to Henry, standing close and looking at him up close."Screw you, Henry! Screw you.He pointed his two fingers at Henry, touching his chest as he said that, and walked away with Keren. He got to his car, opened it, slammed the door like he was going to destroy it, and drove off.Henry was numb. Although he was able to cover up for Calvin, he made sure he saw everyone who needed to see him and made excuses for Calvin whenever they asked after him. As soon as the party was over, they all headed to Calvin's house, including the lady who had taken him there, where he had an accident. Henry knew Calvin would return to his own apartment, so he decided to go there. As soon as he got there, he began to call his name even before he got into the sitting room."Calvin!. Calvin!!. Calvin!!!. We have to fix the mess. You acted like a child at the party and walked out on everyone.Calvin came out, but he still had the an
"I think we need to make a cheer for that."Vivian said as she went to carry a few glasses and two bottles of grape wine. She shared the glasses with everyone and doubled her own portion of them because she was going to give baby Mateo one of them."Are we spending a night at Calvin's house?". Irish asked."Yes, we are." Vivian answered her. "And I don't know why Keren is still here; she needs to be in the kitchen setting up things for us right now.Keren stalked both index fingers into her ears, pretending like she did not hear Vivian speak in a funny manner."I think I know what to do." Vivian said that and went closer to Keren. She forcefully held her hands down and said those words right into her ears.Keren obviously knew how funny Vivian could be. She laughed until she could no longer laugh."Okay Vivian I have heard you say I will go into the kitchen and make something. And I'd want you to join me."Okay, let me take Mateo a shower and put him to bed."While Vivian was talking
It was the day of Keren’s bridal shower and the whole place was looking colorful; it was decorated and furnished to the teeth. The ladies put in the effort to make sure Keren’s day was a success. They helped the event planner with the decoration because she was short of staff and they were not going to sit and watch the event flop. “Thank you so much, girls for helping me with this. I do not know what I would have done without all of you.“Ain't that why you love us?I cannot believe you are getting married tomorrow, Keren. It feels like you only met Calvin a few days ago, and now you will be tying the knot with him tomorrow. “I know right, I am so happy, and I cannot wait to be called Mrs. I love Calvin so much and I am so happy we are doing this together. “I thought you'd always wanted an outdoor wedding; why did you change your mind?“And outdoor wedding has always been my dream but the weather report was not favorable to us, so we decided to change plans instead of postponing th
Mr. Greftan was admitted to the hospital and placed on bed rest by the doctor. He had a minor heart attack and the doctor warned that it might reoccur if Mr. Greftan wasn't resting well. Keren was still not at work, and Ethan couldn't find her document. He searched all his files but they were nowhere to be found. He was sure he left it in his office. He was worried about Keren but there was no way to reach her. It had been two weeks since the incident and Keren was not yet at work. He thought it was because they made out that was why she was shy about resuming and it broke him when he couldn't find her credentials so he could locate her house address. Worst of all, he didn't have her picture saved on his phone; the only picture he had of her was missing too, and he couldn't explain how Keren’s document mysteriously disappeared from his office. Ethan turned on the CCTV camera to see if Eli was the one who took Keren’s file but he didn't see anything out of the ordinary; all he could

“Impressive!! This is by far the best project you have come up with; I cannot believe it! How did you get this idea?“You see, grandpa, I am not the bad egg after all; I have been breaking my back working on something that would make you and dad proud.“I cannot wait to show Ethan this project; I am sure he will be so proud of you.Eli collected the documents from his grandfather’s hand; he did it in such a way that it showed that he was disgusted with what his grandfather said.“What? What is wrong? Do you want to yank your hand off? Why did you collect your document like that? Did I say something wrong?"Yes, grandfather, you do not even trust me enough; I did all of this myself and now you want to show Ethan for approval.“I wasn't going to show him for approval; I just wanted him to know what you were working on; surely he would be so excited too. “Why do you always do this, grandpa? Do you need validation from Ethan before approving my project? You all complain that I don't do a
“Irish! I thought you said she wouldn't be here!“I know Vivian, but Keren lives here; you both cannot be fighting forever; I need you both to settle your differences. “If not for the fact that we are sisters, I would have slapped you really hard! I do not have time for this nonsense! “But Vivian, Irish is right; you cannot be like this forever; you need to forgive me and let us move on.“You killed them! I will never forget that you made me a widow! I want nothing to do with you; excuse me, I am out of her.Vivian left the house, ignoring Irish and Keren, who were calling out her name. All the excitement on Keren’s face faded away. She fell to the couch and let out a loud sigh of relief. Irish sat beside her. They were both silent for a few minutes before Irish decided to break the silence.“You do not have to think too much about it; she will come around; she is still traumatised, and she told me she started therapy; she will come around soon."It has been years; I miss my best fri
“Take me home. That was the last thing Ethan said before he was unconscious. Keren had to call for the help of the receptionist so they could carry Ethan to the car. By the time they got downstairs, the driver was already in his seat, waiting to move. They managed to put Ethan into the car, the receptionist went back to her work station and everyone was worried, wondering what was happening to their boss. They thought he fainted but the receptionist had to tell them that the boss was under a lot of stress and he needed rest. Ethan was in the back seat with Keren; he was sleeping deep. Keren couldn't get her eyes off him; she wished she could touch his hair so she could do that. Tears rolled down her face when she thought about her late fiance. She looked outside the window so no one would see her crying. Shortly after, they got to the mansion and Keren was left in amazement. She couldn't believe her eyes; she couldn't believe the edifice standing tall in front of her. When the driv
Keren was so shy, she used to wish the ground would open and swallow her. Ethan was still fast asleep; he was oblivious that his grandfather was in the room. “You must be Keren, right?Keren tried to speak but she was stuttering and she struggled to compose herself."Yes, I am, sir.“Why is Ethan fast asleep by this time?“He is drunk, sir; he drank too much. “I see. Follow me.“Sir?“You heard me; follow me. Ethan’s grandfather left the room and Keren jumped off the bed and rushed to Ethan’s closet to wear something casual. She wore a white collar shirt and joggers. When she was done, she headed downstairs to meet Mr. Geftan. “Right on time, join me.Mr. Geftan poured Keren a glass of freshly pressed juice; he pressed it himself. It was a mixture of pineapple, watermelon and a little ginger. “This is so lovely, sir; I have never tasted a better fruit juice.“So tell me, what is it like working with Ethan?“I have no idea, sir. I only resumed today. I hoped I was going to have a bli
How can I repay you for your kindness sir?“You do not have to pay me, just go home and start something beautiful and profitable for you and your son. Your son deserves something better.“Who are you sir?Bal’s father said amidst tears, he couldn't control the tears that rolled down his face, he wanted to kneel to appreciate Ethan but Ethan stopped him mid air.“You do not have to do that, just consider me your angel, now please go get something good to eat.“Thank you uncle, my dad is really happy. Bal and his father left the park and Ethan watched how joyous they looked until they faded out of sight, he was truly happy for them… he was fulfilled when he saw the smile on their faces, and at that moment he was convinced that everything happened for a reason, if Eli had not crashed his car, he wouldn't have met Bal. He walked back to the hospital ward and when he got there he was informed that Eli was out of coma. He wasn't sure if he was happy about the news or not but he had to go
“I am not going to calm down, grandfather!! Did you see what he did to my car? That car was badly damaged—damaged beyond repair!! “Stop stressing over material things; your insurance company can take care of the damages.“They would if I were the one driving the car, but I am not and Eli is moving around with an expired driver’s license!" He better stay in that coma, because I will send him back there if he comes back to this house! How dare he take my car without my permission!!! He left his luxurious cars and took mine. I am starting to think that he crashed my car on purpose. “ Don't be ridiculous. I understand you are upset but do you think Eli would risk his life just to crash your car and get back at you? You should be praying for his recovery, not this.“God forbid!! I better waste my time on important things than pray for that rebellious soul. Eli is a lost cause.“You are the older one, Ethan. I know Eli is not the best but do you want us to throw him away? Your father doesn
“Hahah!! I told you I was going to get to you, didn't i? Eli was smiling at the screenshot he took; he was the happiest soul that night. He was one step away from bringing Ethan down and he was very excited. He took out his phone and called Marcel.“Hello, where are you?“I am resting at my loudspeaker.“Meet me at the bar.“At the bar? By this time of the night? Isn't it late already?“I told you never to oppose me again; remember, I am paying for that room. I can kick you out anytime, so please do as I say or else I will throw you out.“I will be there in 20 minutes.“Be there in 15.“Eli ended the call and tossed his phone on the bed and he made his way to his closet to change into something casual for the night. He was humming a melodious song as he went to the bathroom to freshen up. After he was done, he took Ethan’s porch and left. He didn't want to drive his Ferrari, but he knew Ethan was going to have his head by morning, but he didn't care.“He got to the bar and ordered a
