"Amber," Mrs Laurette muttered. "What are you talking about? Or is there more I need to know?" Amber raised her eyebrows. "Come and sit down, Amber," Mrs Emilia instructed. "Mother, I don't think she should know yet, I'm not even sure if what you're saying is true, we haven't gotten deep into it yet," Mrs Laurette said to Mrs Emilia. "What is it this time? and what are you hiding from me again? Aren't you tired of keeping secrets from me, aren't you all tired of hiding things I need to know? It's my life, damn it!" Amber shouted, which shocked everyone and the room fell silent. "Since you asked for the truth, here's what you need to know," Mrs Emilia started to speak, but Mrs Laurette cut her off again. "Look Amber, pay no attention to what your grandmother has to say, she never liked you, why should we believe anything you say Father," Mrs Laurette turned to Mr Cooper who had been silent for a while. "Father, tell me what Mother says isn't true, tell me that witch called
“Ruby?“ Wayne said.“We'll you're right boss, I'm sorry I haven't reached out to you in a while. I had some cases to settle, but I'm fine now that everything is settled, how have you been?“ Ruby asked.“Well I'm good thank you,” Wayne responded.“How about the company? I heard the project is completed,” Ruby mumbled.“Oh, yes you're right, and we will be having an opening party by next week, I'm sure you'll be there,” Wayne said.“Yes I will, I definitely will be there, but I have a question,”“And what is it?“ Wayne asked.“Uh— I'm not trying to sound selfish in a way, but—uhh, will Talia be coming too?“ Ruby asked.“What sort of question is that?“ Wayne asked.“Please don't get me wrong boss, I just want to know,” Ruby mumbled.“Well I guess you have to see for yourself, do have a good day,” Wayne said then he hung up. Why did he react in such a way, just because Ruby asked if Talia was going to attend the opening party, does this mean Wayne is having a soft spot for Talia? Well…. w
“What! What do you mean by that?“ Aunt Matilda asked. “She ran out of the house once we told her that she is your daughter. “Oh gosh she must really hate me so much, I really need to see her, I need to apologise for all I have done,” While Aunt Matilda spoke, Mrs Laurette's phone began to ring. This made Aunt Matilda stop as they listened to the conversation. “Hello, who I'm I speaking with?” Mrs Laurette asked the caller. “Good day, I'm speaking with Mrs Laurette Cooper?“ The caller asked. “Yes, is there a problem?“ Mrs Laurette furrowed her brows. “I believe so ma'am,” “What do you mean?” “I am doctor Millian, your daughter got involved in a fatal accident that sadly took her life, I would send you the address to my hospital, I'm so sorry for your loss,” the doctor said as Mrs Laurette burst into laughter. “what sort of joke is this? Hello, he—hello,” the doctor had already hung up. “This must be a joke,” Mrs Laurette scuffed “Honey what's wrong?“ Mr Oliver asked, while o
THE VENUE: WAYNE, TALIA & RUBY.Ruby entered the venue wearing a long emerald green satin dress. She looked around the room where unfamiliar elegant men and women were seated, different expensive champagnes being served to each seated guest. Ruby spotted Wayne talking to a guest and decided to go up to him."Hi," she whispered in Wayne's ear."Alright, I'll call you back," Wayne said to the man he was talking to, then turned to see Ruby smiling nervously."You came?" Wayne asked in a calm tone."Yes I did, I'm sure Talia wouldn't come, she always tends to miss important occasions,she can't just….,” Ruby stopped talking because a family figure had caught both her and Wayne's attention.It was Talia, in her beautiful lace dress.And as soon as she walked in, all eyes were on her. Her beautiful, expensive dress and her million-dollar pearl jewellery got most of the ladies talking."Who is she?""I've seen her somewhere,""She used to work for Wayne, right?""I think she's his mistress,"
"Doctor! Doctor!" Mr Oliver and Mrs Laurette shouted in unison.The doctor entered the room, followed by three nurses in white scrubs."What's wrong?" the doctor asked."I don't know, she just started screaming," Mrs Laurette explained."You and your husband will have to excuse us," the doctor said, turning his attention to Amber as the nurses did the same.Mrs Laurette continued to pace restlessly."Honey, please come and sit down, the doctor and nurses are already looking after her," Mr Oliver tried to calm Mrs Laurette down, but it didn't seem to be working."How the hell do you expect me to calm down?" Mrs Laurette shouted, then almost instantly stopped in her tracks as if she had just remembered something."Why did she ask us who we were?" she whispered, but it was loud enough for Mr Oliver to hear."Oh about that, I'm sure she was just in shock, don't over think it, OK?" Mr Oliver stood up, he held out his hand wide then wrapped it around his wife."It's all right baby, let's ho
ONE MONTH LATER: WAYNE.A month after thousands of people were interviewed to work in Wayne's car company, only a few were chosen.Talia was still working as manager, while Ruby also kept her position as P.A. (personal assistant).Wayne was in his office going through some papers when Ruby walked into his office without knocking. Wayne looked up to see that it was Ruby."Did you just barge into my office without knocking?" Wayne asked."I'm so sorry sir, I honestly forgot to knock," Ruby muttered."But I've seen Talia walk in without knocking before," Ruby muttered in a low tone, but it wasn't low enough because Wayne heard her."What did you just say?" Wayne frowned at her."No, I...""You know what? I want you to hand in your resignation by tomorrow morning, you should know that you're not here for jokes or any kind of competition and more importantly I won't let you disrespect me." Wayne scolded."Please boss, I'm so sorry, I promise it won't happen again, please, don't fire me, pl
"Ruby, I need you to come over to my office right away," Wayne said into the phone. And within a few minutes Wayne heard a knock at his door, it was Ruby."Come in," Wayne said bluntly."S-sir, you wanted to see me," Ruby mumbled."What does that mean, huh? Tell me," Wayne said assertively, there was seriousness in his voice. Hearing Wayne sound like that, Ruby began to tremble with fear.She stretched her head a little to get a glimpse of what Wayne was showing her, because she was too scared to get close to Wayne. When she saw the papers on Wayne's table, her eyes widened in shock."Sir, I don't know what you're talking about," she lied. Wayne laughed and put his hand to his forehead, then looked up at her."Are you joking with me?" Wayne asked."No, no sir, I swear I don't know what you're talking about." "Well that's fine, I'll remind you. Now, these are the documents I asked you to go through, and looking at these files you knew it would take you weeks to finish going through th
The man stood in front of Mrs Emilia's front door and motioned for her to wind it down, at first Mrs Emilia hesitated, but when she saw the man pull a gun from his trousers and point it directly at Mrs Emilia, fear gripped her, knowing that with one shot it could penetrate, as her car wasn't bulletproof. She rolled down the glass of her front door as she watched the man put the cigarette in his mouth and puff out a cloud of smoke that blurred Mrs Emilia's vision for a few seconds."You must be Mr Cooper's wife?" The man asked."Y-yes, what do you want? We don't owe anyone any money." Mrs Emilia said in a trembling tone."Well that's not why I'm here old woman, no I want you to get out of your car and come with us, my boss wants to have a word with you," Thean gave a sly grin."A word with me, why?" Mrs Emilia asked badly as she watched the man put the cigarette in his mouth and puff out much more smoke than before, making Mrs Emilia cough and choke."Well, that question would be f
