Thank you for always reading my book.
“How dare you?” Anna’s mother questioned him while fuming in anger as she gave him a loud slap on his face.James' hands quickly moved to his chin as he could feel the intensity of her hands on his cheeks. He didn't see that coming and wasn't expecting her to hit him.“Did you just slap my face?” he murmured the words out of his mouth slowly and softly.“And, I will do it again and again since you’ve proven to me that you lack manners.” she prodded her face to him without a flinch in his voice.James raised his hands and was about to return the slap to her face when he felt Anna’s hand on his with years streaming down her face uncontrollably.“James, please ignore the fact that she did that to you and let me caution her myself.” she fell broken as she went on her knees.James turned around with his face red and swollen ready to pounce on me like a hungry lion, “For how long will you keep talking to your mother. Sometimes, I even wonder what crime I did to love you unconditionally. Did
The following morning at Lucas' hotel room his phone chimed out in a loud tone as his notification bar was seen with different information about Micheal.“This is what I need right now. No explanation to be made. I just want to have a word with him and I believe he will consider working with me as well.” He whispered to himself nodding his head softly and calmly by the rhythm of the sound beat.Just as he was about to place a call to one of his spies who had sent him all the information he needed to know about Micheal another call came in.“Didn’t I just speak to this good fellow last night? What exactly does she want this time around and I hope that she won’t ask for money because I can’t continue to be used as a tool of extortion.” he conversed to his inner child as if he was present with him at that place.He slid to the pickup line and picked up the call with one of his cutest voices while still acting to maintain a solid composure, “Hey dear!” He whispered into the phone waiting
Will you come back here my friend?” Andrew pulled back his son with his left hand right at the same spot where he left Aunty Margaret.“Dad, what is the problem this time around? You know I left you alone last night despite our conversation and here you are doing the same thing all over again?” he lamented to his father with a worried face while putting his face down.“Don’t make me repeat myself anymore, Mason. Go ahead and apologize to Aunty Margaret and let’s discuss in my room like two adults,” he warned him one more time as he took the stairs up to his room.Aunty Margaret removed her eyes away from him while she attended to the table she was cleaning. She kept on acting as if she had no idea that his father had told him to come apologize to her.Mason struggled with himself to head over to her and render his sincere apology. He stood there in anger before summoning up the courage to walk up to her.“Ma’am, I’m sorry.” he said to her and threw his face to the other side acting as
“Get me a glass of vodka.” Anna requested from the barman who stood at the table before her.“Is that only what you want ma’am?” the bar attendant politely asked her with a broad smile on his face.“I only need that for now but maybe with time I can then go deeper.” she placed her shot bag on the table with her pretty fingers laying on the table.“Alright! I’ll get it for you within five minutes.” he nodded his head and went ahead to go get the vodka.Anna eyes kept moving from one point to another as she kept on admiring the beauty of the lights in the bar room.“Ma’am, I can see that this is your first time in this bar, right?” the bar man pushed the shot of vodka towards her while awaiting her response at the same time.Anna took one shot of the vodka gulping it down her throat at a full speed.“I won’t say you are lying my friend but this is actually my first time stepping my foot in here and I must confess that this place looks like home.” she complimented the arena with her haz
James smirked at him and shook his head in pity,” I don't want to mess up your face young man. The only thing I’m asking from you is to mind your business and stay away from my shit.” he responded to him pushing him to the other side with his left hand.The bar attendant ignored him and stood right in front of him with a straight face, “I won’t back out from this place even though I know that it’s none of my business. But, I won’t stand here and watch you lay a finger on her or move her from this place against her will.” he pushed him back poking his little finger on his chest.James flared up and forcefully threw the guy’s finger off his chest.“I don’t blame you at all for your actions but if there is someone in this room that I can lay my fingers on to blame is going to be you, Anna.” he vented with full force and tried reaching out to Anna to drag her down to the car but he got blocked by the bar attendant.“Mr. James, in case you’ve forgotten so easily violence is not tolerated an
Knock! Knock!Mason’s hands shivered as he slowly knocked on his father’s door in fear.Andrew who was inside the room ignored the sound of the knock and didn't give him a positive response as to whether he was permitted to enter or not.“Dad, Are you in there?” He knocked for the third time and this time around it was accompanied by a question.Andrew stood up from the bed where he had sat on earlier and reached out to the door pulling it with his outstretched neck outside, “Have you gotten your right senses back? I thought you didn't want to talk to me before.” he closed the door behind and left him there heading over to his bed space.Mason exhaled slowly and opened the door following his dad's steps until he got to his bed space. “Dad, I knew I messed I big time and I’m here to admit my faults as well to you but at the same time…”Andrew didn't even give him a breathing space to continue his words before he interrupted him, “What other excuses do you want to give this time around
The sound of the car engine was turned off as it came to a halt. The driver peeped outside through the window seeking if it was actually what he saw in the pictures they sent to him that he came to. After confirming from his phone screen what he saw through the window, he nodded and turned his back to inform his boss. “Sir, we've arrived at the spot. Based on the information given to me and gathered from your spies, this is where Micheal came last and I'm one certain he is still in there.”“How sure are you?” Lucas raised his eyebrows at him still glancing at the big restaurant where his car was parked. “I don't want to say that I'm one hundred percent sure because I haven't confirmed yet but I can beat my chest and attest to the fact that he is in there because your spies have never for once given me untrue information.” he bowed down his head and responded to him. “Okay! If that's the case I'll take it up from there. But, make sure you stick around because I might end up not wa
James burst out in a sinister laugh with his widespread hands, “Now, you can come back to me. I thought you wanted to be part of his good books.”Anna ignored him and kept walking towards where her car was parked as she reminisced of the words and the way the barman spoke to her. “Have you suddenly gone deaf?” James pulled her backward spinning her in a three-sixty degree. Anna sobbed in silence still ignoring the fact that James was talking to her. “Anna! Anna! Can't you hear me?” He tapped her continuously on her shoulders waiting for her to provide an answer to him. “What exactly do you want from me? What bad haven't you done to me, James? Why can't you let me breathe for a little while?” she gave the gun a heavy blow on his chest with her hands hitting him on his chest so hard simultaneously. James struggled to stand on his feet as he held back the hands of Anna. “What had gotten into you, Anna? Have you suddenly lost it all? Is your sanity still intact at all?” He held her
