0015; “Elena, hurry up!” Sandra grumbled, pressing the horn of her car angrily. “Today is not the day to be admiring your reflection.” “Elena!” she yelled again. Elena hurried, increasing her pace toward Sandra's car; her silky blonde hair danced in the humid air as the orange-hued sunset cast a warm glow on her skin, which shimmered in her dark blue satin dress. “Coming…” she shouted as she got closer. "Sandra, you need to take it easy on your self” she continued, rolling her eyes. “What took you so long? Get in. Where’s Richard?” Sandra asked, frustration still visible on her face. “Oh, he left earlier,” Elena replied and entered the car. “Hmm,” Sandra whispered suspiciously as they took off. *** Elena glared at her sister, her eyes widening. Sandra appeared both demure and confident; her red hair was styled in a bun, displaying her elegant collar bones and slender neck. Her diamond teardrop earrings accentuated her round face, adding to her glamorous look. Meanwhile, Sa
0014: Richard looked dumbfounded as he glared at Sandra, he had never seen the devious side of her before. He didn't feel threatened by her but he just thought that the least he could do was to give her a subtle reason. He deserved one. After giving it some thought, he shook his head in disappointment and said, “I’m sorry, Sandra, but there's nothing I can do; it is beyond my power.” Silence instilled the air as blood channeled through Sandra's face, and she staggered in shame. She thought that if her sister could marry Richard, her company's status would keep soaring high, and she could make things twice as good and better than her grandfather had ever achieved. She became worried because she feared that her aunt and cousin would mock her, for not being capable of bagging a contract. They were already yearning for her downfall. “What do you mean by that? Are you not the CEO?” She questioned, flushing her eyes and fidgeting, “b–b–but I don't get it; what did we do wrong? What m
0013: Richard couldn't comprehend what was happening. Robert, the chairman of Yellow Sky, came nearer. “You will not speak to your boss in such a manner, not under this roof!” Robert uttered. “But.. b-b–b, who is he?” Richard asked, his body shaking with his brows furrowed. “He is sir Freddrick's son, the one everyone thought had drowned years ago," he said, with so much hope in his gaze and continued, “It's a miracle, honestly.” Philip's return was shocking for Robert; he was left astonished after Lady Margaret informed him that he was taking over the company. Freddrick Williams was Robert's best friend; they practically birthed the company together. He saw Philip as his and he constantly reminded him of Freddrick. Richard gasped letting out an unexpected expression. A shock wave flushed his spine as he exclaimed, “he's alive! Cedric?” He lowered his head wisely and bowed before Philip as he began to regret everything he had done. He didn't dare to do anything irrational aga
0012: Clarrissa's advice drowned Philip into a realm of curiosity, making him wonder as he exited the Villa and drove to Yellow Sky. “Who was this director anyway?” He said to himself. This question kept playing back and forth in his mind until he arrived at Yellow Sky. Yellow Sky was the tallest building in Eldrador City, but Philip had never seen the view up close before; he only saw it from afar. It's no wonder it was named “Yellow Sky”, the building looked outstanding amongst others. Today was going to be his first day at Yellow Sky, the largest company in the City, but instead of going public to announce his return, he chose to remain discreet. He entered the building, drenched and allured in elegance. Just then, someone ran towards him, bowing his head nervously, “Mr Williams, welcome, sir. I'm Martins, Your assistant.” “Martins Hun! Okay, I trust that no one else knows about me in this company?” Martins placed his fingers on his lips and zipped them shut, “ I don't
0011:Lady Margaret was happy to hear Philip finally say those words, and she quickly agreed to get treated.*******“Please I need you to try your best to save her!” He said domineeringly.“Mr. Philip, it's a terminal condition; the chances of her surviving are very low…” He spat furiously.Abruptly, He hammered his fist on the table with his eyes popped out causing Clarissa to freeze and her face to flush in red, then he said, “Don't you fu**ing tell me that!” Philip growled anxiously, She must not die!! I don't know how you plan on doing that, but you must make it happen.” The doctor cowered in his seat and nodded in fright, agreeing with him, “Ye – yes sir. I.. we will try everything we can.” He said, fidgeting.Philip left the doctor's office, his chest protruding out, with Clarrissa walking behind him. He feared losing Lady Margaret and he was amazed by how much it bothered him.They got into Lady Margaret's car. He tightened his fists on the steering and paused for a while bef
0010"Ah – Grandma!” Clarissa yelled as she sat next to Lady Margaret in the dining area with her hands guarding her unstable and trembling shoulders. Philip heard Lady Margaret's breathing loudly and he became tensed. “Please get her some water. Clarrisa said nervously, with visible fright in her humid gaze, “We have to take her to the hospital.”“C'mon, breathe, just breathe,” She said, her fingers slipping through her thinning gray hair.Looking up at Philip who was still standing erect as if he had suddenly lost his ears. Angrily, Clarissa gasped and screamed at him compellingly, “Make it snappy!” A sense of guilt flushed down his face, he began to regret snapping back at his grandmother in such a tone and manner. But how else could he have handled it?He rushed to the kitchen to get Lady Margaret a glass of water and came out in no time with a tray in his hands.Lady Margaret became unconscious after she heard Philip's response. He wondered if she was just being overly dramatic
0009: After Philips' cold request, he lowered his head respectfully and waited for her response. A bodyguard in a dark suit approached her, lowered himself, and guarded his words as he whispered into their ear. Suddenly, she stood up and picked up her handbag swiftly. She had to leave quickly for an important meeting. Though She was old, she remained very active and agile. Lady Margaret uttered with urgency evident in her voice, “Let's do this when I get back. We will talk about this when I am back.” He nodded and smiled faintly in agreement. Then he and Clarissa watched her walk to the doorway, leaving them both alone. The air grew awkwardly silently as they stared into each other's eyes like strangers. Clarissa wished he was able to remember her but he couldn't. She observed he wasn't much of a talker, but she stayed quiet and waited for him to say something, anything! She was doing all the talking earlier and it made her feel like she was doing too much. Philip just stoo
0008: Lady Margaret moved around the house nervously as a heavy realm of silence enveloped the William's villa. Clarissa's eyes sprouted, shooting a troubled look. "Grandma please drink your green tea. You need to calm down" Everyone was eagerly awaiting the doctor's arrival. Lady Margaret could not take her gaze off the foyer, staring at the doorway as if her life depended on it. Philips was glued to the couch, his eyes fixed on Lady Margaret, his palms damp with sweat, and his heart beating out of his chest nonstop. He felt a glimmer of hope while he waited patiently for the doctor, glancing at the wall clock from time to time. If he were truly Lady Margaret's grandson, he was going to make Elena pay for her actions! “I'll make sure they all regret what they have done, they shall cower at my feet!” He muttered quietly to himself. Doctor Gray, Lady Margaret's family physician, arrived promptly. Without delay, a DNA test was carried out right away and sent to the lab for resul
0007: Philip asked, with confusion boldly embedded on his face.”My parents ?”He wondered how the divorce issue he had just shared with her was related to his parents. He started to feel like he was giving too much information to a stranger. The question is was she a stranger? Clarissa remained quiet, making herself invisible because she felt they were having a serious conversation. But Lady Margaret didn't mind; she was like family after all. Clarissa's mother used to be Lady Margaret's caretaker for years, but now that her mother has passed, she decided to stick around and help out despite the number of maids in the huge mansion. She was fond of her, and Lady Margaret adored her. She watched Clarissa grow into the woman she has become today and supported her and her mother endlessly. Lady Margaret asked, “Are they alive?” “No, madam. I'm an orphan” Philip answered her. “Oh, I see.” She became quiet, letting out a faint smile, “But you should have known them ?” Philip expla
