Ursula puffed smoke from her mouth and Margaret sat watching her for the past ten minutes.She had heavy eye bags under her eyes and looked like she had not slept a wink, coupled with the red puffy eyes that gave out the fact that she had cried all night. Ursula Montgomery now had no one on her side other than her newly found minion sitting behind her on her balcony.She had summoned the weaker woman and since she came here, Ursula had just been in her robe smoking cigarettes.With only a look of disgust to welcome her into the empty home, no words have been spoken since.Margaret was uncomfortable and wanted to leave, so she looked for something to say to speed up her visit.Margaret first cleared her throat before sitting up straighter in her seat, her red fur coat today not getting the attention she had hoped it would.“So what do you plan on doing now that Paul is no longer with us” she said all of a sudden and Ursula’s head whipped dangerously to face her.A low guttural growl e
“Ursula fled in the middle of the night” Peter said to Alphonse as they both sat down in court that morning. Today was the court hearing for Harry’s case and they decided to be present only they sat behind. Alphonse had vehemently refused to be a witness in the case but he provided all the information and evidence needed for the court proceedings. The case was between Harry, the state and the families of those that he had cost pain, something everyone was sure he would not be able to escape from this time around. “What?” Alphonse asked in surprise, he had wanted to catch her when she would least except but the police had planned it before him. Ursula knew she had been a sole contributor to hiding Harry and she aided in hiding evidence, sure enough she was going to have jail time. She was going to serve in prison and when her case and that of Jennifer Warner came out she would have no hope of ever seeing the outside world again and she knew that so escaping was the only option an
“Vivian is under control for the meantime” Peter said as he poured alcohol for both him and Alphonse in the balcony of their house.Alphonse stuck his hand in his pockets as he stood and admired the view, he had chosen to take the day off today and enjoy the comfort of his home.It’s been two months after the trial of Harry and two since Paul went away, for some time they had peace.The last he checked on Paul, he was training to be an engineer and he was doing pretty well in it and happy. Jennifer Warner, Paul's mother also reconnected with her children and her seizures and hallucinations had reduced a bit.Jillian, the nurse they met on the day of their visit kept her company most of the time and gave Paul and Alphonse feedback on her health.Jennifer always looked forward to seeing her children, especially Paul, and she also formed a bond with them.Hannah had gone back and last Alphonse heard she and Cornelius had broken up.Alphonse inhaled and exhaled loudly and large with a sm
"What's the name of the young blondie?" Alphonse asked Peter in the room full of his political aides and party people. The whole room agog with orders and Information, everyone on edge for what was happening today. After Carla made her intention of running for the senatorial seat known to the public, the press had been flooding her house and Alphonse's house also for their reaction to each other. Alphonse had shut them out for the meantime, he was waiting to hear what she had to say since seeing she knew all of his moves and today they finally got information that she was agreeing to an interview with one news station. Peter cleared his throat and angled closer to Alphonse with the information he had gathered. "Carina Blossom" Peter said "Tougher than Carla herself, trained in the world of politics and graduated from Harvard with a CGPA of five point six with a bachelors degree in Public Administration and a masters degree in Political Science. When Carla steps down we all know s
“Sit down please Peter” Alphonse pointed to an empty chair opposite his study for Peter to sit down.Peter meekly sat down in the chair like a child caught stealing sweets, his hands folded in his laps unsure of what the fate of his Job was.The main reason he kept all this hidden was because of his job and all was wavering at the moment, he was not sure how Alphonse felt about his sexuality.Alphonse sighed and folded his hands on the desk "please tell me all I need to know, when you are ready of course" Alphonse urged him as calm as he could.Peter looked around and then his hand fidgeted nervously before he cleared his throat, the old man did expect this day to come.“His name is Denver James” Peter started, "we met during one of Mr Jake's events. He spilled his drink on me and the rest they say is history" he shrugged and looked away."Am I going to loose my job?" Peter asked quickly."Depends on your answer, I have to find them satisfactory enough" Alphonse said, face still as st
The cars lined up in front of the hall and she was waiting for her assistant to show up. A knock rapped on the window of Mayor Carla Harris’s car and her head was raised up from the phone she was on. She smile neither did she show any signs of emotion as she looked at the disturbance. There, asking her to roll down her window was Alphonse Fischer, her opponent in the coming senatorial election. One part of her wanted to ignore him like they had both done but she decided against it. She promptly pressed on a button and the window beside her went down without a noise. Alphonse's eyes raked her from head to where his eya could reach inside the car before he nodded once simply. “Move aside” Alphonse said to her, urging her away from the window with his head. Carla looked ahead at the holdup and back at Alphonse, it was almost clearing up. “I leave in twenty” She said, not moving her eyes away from him. But Carina was not back yet, so she had enough of that twenty minutes but sh
It was raining heavily, the downpour lasted from early evening till late night and did not plan on stopping anytime soon, Alphonse sped his car into his driveway reminiscing on how the rain had spoilt his day and his plans for later.He had went to meet some of his godfathers and old friends of Jake, they had drinks and conversed about the elections and the plans they had for winning. It was educational for him because he learnt a lot, made ground plans on how to go about the senatorial election and made some connections he would need in the future, also using the time to make deals for work.The long day he had wanted to end Soothing 🌝♥️ getting flowers for Charlotte so he and her would talk over dinner, a plan Carina and Carla had ruined the other day with their package, and today the rain had ruined it also.As he drove to his porch, his headlights caught something or rather someone crouched on the steps, a very little human and from what he could assess, it was a woman out in t
Silence stretched as the whole room stared at him.“What’s so funny, you fat old pudge?” Vivian shot at Peter who had just been caught red handed laughing at the situation.Peter straightened his posture and cleared his throat before putting the towel on full display.“Pardon me ma’m. Here are some hot towels” he said and entered the study to give it to her, Vivian snatched the white materials out of his hands.She started to pat her hair dry as Peter moved to the side and Alphonse turned to the women.“Ladies, I believe we should all settle down and talk this out. This is all a misunderstanding that can be rearranged" Alphonse said."it can be, they're both not supposed to be here. The maid and that bitch" Vivian said, still drying her hair and talking absentmindedly and in a small voice but the whole room heard her.Alphonse groaned as she finished talking, Vivian was always up for a fight and was always rude in every situation until she had someone shut her up and he was about to d
Four years later “Liana you better stop running or you will fall!" Charlotte called out to her four years old daughter who ran outside as he brother chased her giggling. The twin brother came wheezing past his mother as she gathered their toys which they left haphazardly all over the living room. “Adrian come here right now and put on this jacket, it’s cold outside” she noticed he had not put on his jacket like his sister. Adrian did not come back but she could still hear their laughter outside. As if on cue thier father came downstairs with bed hair, he had just woken up from a nap. “Alphonse please control your children, they’re giving me a hard time today” she complained and picked up the last you. “Good Afternoon to you too Mrs Edmund” he said and kissed her on the cheek before going into the kitchen. He had changed his name officially to his father's name after the gruesome death of Ursula, as a way to keep the name of his father alive. That meant he also had to change h
"Get my bag from the car you incompetent fool and stop staring at me like that" Ursula yelled at the new young man who had been hired two days ago to be her personal body guard and helping hand. "I'm sorry ma'm" he apologized quickly and ran to get her bag. "What's your name? Who hired you?" She asked him in pure anger but before he could reply she turned to the head of her staff, a grumpy looking burly man who stood far away. "Who hired him!" She yelled at the man who ran up to her. "I did" he replied her fearlessly. "What were you thinking hiring someone as useless as yourself?" She insulted the man who only rolled his eyes at her, he was used to her insults by now and was only working for the woman because he needed the money. "He is good at his job, he was recommended by an agency that is very good at recruiting body guards and personal assistants" he said and Ursula looked at him in disgust. "First thing tomorrow morning, get me someone who knows his job and looks a little
A week later. "Baby! Can you get me the sunscreen!" It was not a request and Alphonse knew it so he stopped what he was doing and quickly went to bring the sunscreen for his wife. It was a week after their wedding and they were having their honeymoon in thier private beach house in Monaco, Italy. "Don't you just love how you boss me around?" He bent and kissed her, blocking the sun touching her body which was draped in a bikini. "Are you complaining?" She asked as her hand snaked around his neck and found its was into his hair. "Not at all my love" he said and kissed her again while Charlotte smiled. "How are you loving being back in your hometown?" He asked her as he came around her and sat on the beach bed, popping the lotion bottle open and getting ready to go to work. "My parents met here, and I am loving the fact that I came here with the man I love and married and plan on starting a future with" she said and started to untie the straps of her bikini. "I love you" he remi
“You did that to my mother, ruined my life and my family’s and you have the nerve to stand before God and get married?” Vivian stumbled with a bottle of Alcohol towards the altar. “What is she doing here?” Charlotte asked getting angry at the sight of the other woman. “How did she get in here?” Carla asked dropping her bouquet of flower and stepping forward. "Today I will put my hands on her" she said walking towards her but Everest was quick to stand up and hold his wife. The whole church was turned into an uproar. "Don't do that Carina, sit down" Everest was also holding Carina back. “Father, give us fifteen minutes. I need to get this sorted out” Alphonse said with a sigh. Charlotte looked very sad and angry at the interruption at her wedding. Vivian was ruining the one day that was supposed to be the happiest in her life. “It will be okay baby, I will get her out of here as soon as I can” Alphonse said as he hooked a finger under her chin. Charlotte nodded wordlessly and
"Oh my Lord, you look absolutely gorgeous!" "Stunning!" "You think so?" Charlotte turned with a nervous smile. Both Jennifer, Paul's mother and Hannah, Alphonse's mother came into the room with praises. "We don't think so, we know so honey. You are the most beautiful bride I have seen in a while. Don't let Jillian hear this by the ways" Jennifer said and they all laughed. "I am nervous" Charlotte said and both mothers looked at themselves before coming to seat on each of her side and held her hand. "It is your wedding day baby, it is understandable if you get scared. I mean we both never had weddings at this age but I knew if we had we would be as anxious as you are now, right Jennifer?" Hannah asked Jennifer who quickly nodded. "Right" she replied. "It's okay to be nervous baby, you're leaving your life as a single woman to start new with someone else. But you love him don't you?" Jennifer asked her and Charlotte nodded quickly. "I do" she smiled as the thought of A
"Do you have plans for today?" Alphonse asked Charlotte as he kissed her lovingly.They had just had another bout of morning sex."Not really, I just plan on being lazy all day" she said and hooked one of her legs on his bare waist, their sweat and after sex juice rubbing against each other and staining the sheets."How about you being lazy about me?" He asked and kissed her again."Who else was I supposed to waste my day with?" She giggled as he burrowed his face into her neck."I'm glad I'm the only one on your mind" he said and kissed her cheek again."Mhmm" she laughed and licked her lips."Remember those sundresses you used to like back then?" He asked her and she turned in the bed to face him."Yes""Do you still like them?" He asked her and she smiled."Of course, they're my to go dresses when I want to relax and I planned on wearing one today. Look at the coincidence" she said and Alphonse laughed."Uhhh..." he hesitated and scratched his brow."Spill" she said to him as she k
"Hey honey" Alphonse came into the room with a food tray."Hey" Charlotte sat up on the bed with a smile."Long night is it?" He asked her as he sat down on the bed and placed the food tray gently on by her side."What a gentleman you are Mr Fischer" she said with a giggle."Indeed, to make up for the lost energy of last night" he said to her with a wink and she laughed."It's too early Alphonse" she said laughing "It past one in the afternoon" he told her and her eyes widened."What? I slept that long?" She asked and looked around for her phone or wristwatch."After effects of your little drink with friends" he said and she blushed, covering her face slightly."I had no idea it was going to hit that much, I'm starting to think I was laced. Besides you added to my exhaustion, taking me up against the shower while I stood, if you look at it from my view you also contributed" she said and Alphonse smiled proudly."As long as you are satisfied, I don't care how tired you become. Eat up,
Charlotte chuckled and opened another button. “You are jealous,” she said. "I am" he replied to her quickly with a soft nod. "Why..." she asked, smiling at him . "You know why" he said to her but caught a whiff of wine on her breath and that made him smile. He now knew where she got her confidence from tonight. A bottle. "Are you drunk?" He asked her. Charlotte nodded and stepped back away from him, not knowing what his reaction to that might be. But as she took a step back she swayed a bit and Alphonse reached his hand out to steady her. "I had a little to drink," she said, pinching her index finger and thumb together, showing the extent to which she drank. And that made Alphonse chuckle, she was safe from the truth, mainly because he saw the glaze in her eyes and her smile was too much. But the smile was dropping slowly. "It's been a rough couple of months and I just wanted a time out you know." She explained but Alphonse was looking at her in confusion. She thought Al
"Hello" “I regret the day my poor wife gave birth to you” Cornelius said to the other person on the phone as soon as he picked. "Father" Geoffrey said curtly. "Don't you ever call me that again!" Cornelius yelled as shots fired continuously. "I am sorry it had to come to this" Geoffrey said "You will be sorry when I get my hands on you!" "I wanted to warn you but they had me confined till they were sure they had got to you. Are you okay ...? Are those shots?" Geoffrey's voice went up very loudly. "You make sure you lose the name "Hall" you don't belong to me and you cease to exist the minute you sell me out" Cornelius warned him as a bullet flew past him and stuck in the windshield of the car Levi was speeding through the dust. "Father I am so sorry, if I had known I would get to this I would not have. I was tired of that prison and they said they were only going to capture you" Geoffrey was becoming afraid for his father. "And you fell for that? It's the FBI, you useless bas
