Daisy Callaghan was mowing her lawn the next morning when she heard her phone vibrate in her pocket, she switched off the machine and reached deep into her pocket thinking that it was someone that she knew. Probably from church, because she missed service the previous day. "Hello?" She replied, squinting and trying to see the number but was finding it difficult to due to her failing eyesight."Good morning, ma'am. Am I onto Miss Daisy Callaghan?" Silas spoke and she removed the phone from her ear in shock mixed with fear. Her eyes widened considerably hoping that it wasn't her nemesis that was calling. "Who am I speaking with?" She replied instead and Silas rolled his eyes at her panicked tone. She was a wicked lady hence the reason for her fear. He cleared his throat, I believe that you have an agreement with a certain Mr. Leonard whom you promised that you would be around so why haven't we seen you?" Daisy was feeling very weird about going to the prison yard again because she d
Emma was basically bringing out some food from the microwave when she heard the doorbell ring. Leonard had refused to tell her the reason he was insistent that she didn't do anything because according to her, she didn't see any reason why he should be worried about Rufus but she still did the right thing by making sure that she didn't entertain him one bit. According to her, if she didn't ask him for any more information, maybe he would get the memo and stop calling her. It worked because Rufus didn't call for the past few days making her very happy.She peeped through the window and saw a man backing her and that got her wondering where exactly he had come from. There was no need for her to venture into opening the door when she couldn't recognize the fellow that was there.Antonio stuffed his hands into his pockets as he took a glance around the surroundings, he had come to realize that there was a problem somewhere. He didn't feel like there was something wrong but he found out th
"Thank you all for coming. I didn't know that you would make it here, so early. It's such a great honor to see you all here. What a lovely attendance." Antonio told his board of trustees. After that scandal, it had taken lots of insane conviction to finally say yes to him."Well, we are here now, hoping that you don't drag us through the mud again as usual. I really can't stomach all the stress of going to check who is ready and who isn't, what the news says and what it doesn't. It's a lot and I don't think I can do that at all. Now, if you would permit me. How far have you gone with the search for a wife?"Antonio was taken aback because he didn't know that they were actually serious about this stuff. He had no plans of getting married, at least not in the near future. "I have been on it but you know that marriage is not something that you just dive into. Like every business venture, you have to plan it accordingly and get the feasibility studies so that you can at least have somethi
Estelle jolted awake when she realized where she was. Her eyes roamed through the unfamiliar surroundings, trying to make sure that she hadn't been kidnapped. She sighed when she saw a familiar picture resting on the wall. 'Oh my goodness! I am in a man's house! I hope we didn't do anything!' she peeped under the duvet that had covered her skin and placed a hand over her mouth. She was only in her briefs. Had Silas taken advantage of her? She wondered. That would be unfair, it was because she trusted him that made her follow him because she knew that she was drunk but couldn't go home alone lest she drove into a ditch.A chuckle made her turn and she finally spotted Silas drinking a steaming cup of coffee with a wide smile on his face. "I know what you're thinking but that's not the case at all. I don't know what you take me for though." He muttered.She felt the hurt radiating from his voice and decided that she had to find a way to make it up to this guy with the various hurtful
"Sir, I think you will like this candidate, she fits the perfect picture of your wife. I know that you will like her sir." Rufus said while staring into his phone. It was just normal for him to be able to get her to do what he wanted.Antonio snorted, that was the song Rufus had been singing for the greater part of the day but at the end of the day, he later figured out that they were all trash. This was the last person he was willing to take a chance to look at because everyone was screaming nonsense. He was tired of having to take a look at anyone, if they didn't come correctly they should get the hell away from him.He was searching for a wife but not desperate. "So, let me see this person you're beating your chest that I'd like again this time. I'm tired of you always telling me the same thing. You're beginning to sound like a broken record and I don't know what to do with you at all." "Oh, really? Sir, I think you will really like this person, she's your spec and she will help y
Antonio donned his best pair of Italian shoes as he checked out his outfit in the mirror, it was lovely. He brushed his hair, he had made sure that he was looking very sharp before going out to meet Anita. She was a total package. He wanted to smell and look rich, so he opted for that suave look and loved the way the cologne was hitting him in the nostrils. She would be stunned by this ensemble, he had made sure of it. "Rufus, how do I look?" He inquired as he stepped out of his office. Rufus nodded. He was a male but he knew stuff when he saw one. This man had made a lot of efforts so that should also account for something though. "I think she will be impressed. Anyway, we are getting late. She's known to be a stickler for time. I really don't want you to give off a wrong first impression. That can be damning. I would want you to take her by surprise by being early so that it can score you brownie points." "Thank you very much, Rufus. You're becoming very industrious. If you kee
Leonard was getting restless in the prison cell. His release was taking too long. Estelle had managed to launch a foundation that helped in tackling issues of people who were wrongly accused but guess who was still locked up without the hope of release? You guessed right. Him. It was enough to make any sane person begin to think about various things. He was beginning to wonder if Silas was actually working for his release or if he was busy sleeping with his sister all in the name of a relationship and that affected his code of conduct in the prison.He was found brooding most of the time and sometimes too, he was also found snapping at his fellow prisoners making them wonder what caused the sudden change. It was a very slow but evident change that he was no longer the happy fellow that they knew. The prison boss walked up to him that day and saw the way he was acting. "If you have any problems why don't you just go ahead and tell the controller, after all, he's your in-law?" Leona
Estelle walked in right at the same time to see her brother and sister-in-law staring at each other. "Hey, Ava, do you want to see someone? Uncle Silas?" She called and the little girl bounced down from her mother's leg before leaving with Estelle.Emma didn't really know how to react to the way he was staring at her. "You don't think that is enough for me to get angry?" Leonard fumed. Emma sighed tiredly. "you don't get to pass your aggression on me. You told me to stay away from Rufus but I can't just send him away. He supplies me with a bit of information which I tell Silas and which helps with the investigations. You can't tell me not to talk to someone just because...." She trailed off leaving him to figure out whatever.Leonard was pissed that she wasn't just seeing the point. "this isn't about seeing another guy or not. I know Rufus from way back. That man is bad news I don't know you just don't see that." Emma rolled her eyes. The last thing she wanted to do was to fight wit
