Though it’s an assumption, I know that Rachael can do that.” “But you never caught her red-handed. As for me, I don’t believe she could do such a thing,” Liam said. “I believe you are not trying to take a stand with Rachael.” “No, but I don’t want to be a part of this. Who knows whether it’s Silas that told Ava’s dad that Amir used Ava for ritualism.” “Well, I don’t trust either of them. They are both wicked. Rachael once said that she would tell the whole world that Amir used Ava for ritualism.” “You mean Rachael once said that?” “Yeah,” Margaret said, nodding her head. After discussing for fifteen more minutes, Margaret stood up from the couch. She tells Liam that she wants to go and take a nap inside the bedroom. Liam agr
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Sadie walks out the kitchen. She is putting on an oil-stained apron and a handkerchief. She drops the handkerchief on the table and sits down on the couch. After sitting on the couch for ten minutes, Sadie thinks of going to the bedroom to pick up her phone. She stands up from the couch and wears her slippers properly. Sadie opens the door and enters the bedroom. She is very shocked to see Amir sleeping on the couch. She glances through the wall clock and says, “When did you walk into the bedroom, Amir?” Sadie waits patiently, hoping that she will get a reply from Amir. It seemed as if Amir didn’t hear Sadie's voice. Sadie could see that Amir's shirt and shoes were scattered on different parts of the bedroom. Amir is sleeping on the bed. He would have been sleeping naked in bed if he had not pantalooned. His face is covering the bed and a pillow is covering his head. Sadie moves closer to Amir. She sits down on the
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ It is an early hour in the morning, the room looks beautiful, though there is some clutter. The rays emanating from the bulbs can be seen to shine on the center table. The curtains of the windows are moving in the direction of the wind coming from outside and the air coming from the standing fans. Sadie is sitting on the couch. She is dressed in a gown. This gown is yellow, though there are some parts of the gown that have a white color, like the neck region. Sadie is glancing through her phone when she hears someone call out her name. She could hear the sound of the masculine caller clearly. She raises up her head only to see Amir. Amir’s face looks dull. He must have just woken up from a long sleep. Sadie takes her gaze away from Amir and fixes it on her phone. Amir becomes surprised. He had hoped Sadie would greet her. He wonders the reason behind Sadie’s behavior. Sitting down on a couch, Amir says, “Can’t you see me? Or

Amir stops laughing and says, “Those kids really want my dad to build a company for me.” “Those kids can go to hell for all I care. All I know is that you will be the one to build a company by yourself.” “I have heard from you, ma. I pray those kids don’t hear you. Can we go and eat breakfast now?” “Yes,” Sadie said with a smile. Amir is at the back as the twosome walk out of the sitting room. He is walking slowly as if he has no goal to achieve. When the twosome get to the dining room, they sit down on different chairs. There is an empty chair between where Sadie is seated and where Amir is seated. “Hold on while I set the table,” Sadie said. Sadie leaves the dining room without looking backwards. She returns to the dining room only to see the children already sitting on
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ There is make up of different colors on Sadie’s face. Most of the make up is red in color. She applies a red gloss on her lips and looks at herself in the mirror. She loves what she sees inside the mirror because the red gloss seems to match with the color of her skin. Sadie clutches a pair of earrings from the bed. She inserts the earrings into her two ears. The earrings are daggling and are touching her shoulders. She picks up a blue beret from the table and wears it. The beret covers her long hair. After gazing at herself several times inside the mirror, Sadie clutches her blue bag and leaves the bedroom. She enters the sitting room and she can see Amir and Jasper sitting on the couch. Amir is happy with the appearance of Sadie. He tells Sadie that she looks so beautiful in her attire. Sadie was very happy to hear this. She is a type of person that loves to hear positive comments. These positive comments empower her to d
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Mrs. Cora looked at Malam Yusuf's face for a few minutes without uttering any words. Malam Yusuf looks at Mrs. Cora’s face too and doesn’t say any words. Amir and Sadie, on the other hand, are wondering what will happen next. “Just hurry up. I don’t want to be late for the ceremony. It’s my friend's first child we are talking about here,” Mrs. Cora said, sitting down. “I think I have a friend who once had a case with a man some couple of months ago. She was justified by the court of law after she hired a good lawyer,” Sadie said. “I am elated to hear this. Do you have the phone number of your friend?” Malam Yusuf said. “Yes, of course. I will just go to her later in the day and ask her for the phone number of this lawyer.” “That will be very good. What do you think, Amir?” “Yes, mum,” Amir said, nodding his head. Malam Yusuf is very happy because finally they will be able to hire a lawyer for the case at hand. “Ensure you go t
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Petra fixed her gaze on Dr. Ryan and says, “The beans are ready. I kept it inside the oven so it must be very hot.” “That’s very good.” Dr. Ryan stood up from the couch. He faces Silas and says, “I shall be going to the bedroom to change my clothes. When I can get back, we will dine together.” Silas doesn’t want to accept Dr. Ryan’s wish, but because of the promise he had made to Dr. Ryan, he nods his head in affirmation. Though deep down he doesn't want to eat anything because he isn’t hungry. Dr. Ryan clutches his phone and leaves the sitting room. As soon as Dr. Ryan is out of sight, Petra looks at Silas and says, “Silas, I will be going to the dining room now to set the table. Get ready because you will be dining with us soon.” Silas could hear Petra’s voice clearly. He smiles at Petra. Petra smiles at Silas too and leaves the sitting room. Since Silas is the only one left inside the sitting room, he continues gazing at
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Silas keeps quiet for a few minutes. He was looking at Petra and wondering what to say. “Well, my parents will come to Hawaii very soon. I will let you know when they will be coming so that you can pay homage to them.” “It’s alright. I wish you a formidable journey to California.” “Thank you, Petra. I really appreciate that,” Silas said with a smile. Petra stands up from the couch. She says she wants to go and take a nap in the bedroom. She shakes hands with Silas and leaves the sitting room. Silas and Dr. Ryan watches Petra as she leaves the sitting room, as if they have been longing for her to leave the sitting room. As soon as Petra is out of sight, Dr. Ryan rests his back properly on the couch. He loves the softness of the couch and he enjoys the sensation it produces. Dr. Ryan and Silas continue their conversation. Their voices are so loud and it could have caused many echoes if there were not enough items inside the sittin
