“Hello”Becca called from the other end of the phone.“Why do you sound this dull? Didn't mummy cook for you this morning? Because you sound like a toddler that was rid of his cookies”. Becca said jokingly.She could tell that Anna was not okay, but she is not the type that likes pampering issues,she prefers handling things immediately no matter how tough it is.Rebecca, Becca for short, is Anna’s best friend and childhood friend, they went to the same school, down to the same college.Their parents know each other, they watch their kids grow together, do things together, go out on several outings and always come through for each other.“Baby girl stop acting like a puppy, get your ass up lets hang out today” Becca echoed over the phone joyfully, as she tried to cheer up her friend.“Becca please, I am not in the mood, I don't feel like going anywhere today” Anna replied with a very dull tone.Anna laid on her bed,with her back on the bed while she faced the ceiling. She was lost in
Greetings Mr. Rosario.I hope this message meets you well. The esteemed members of the billionaire association have decided to host a mogul mixer. This event will be an opportunity for business elites to connect and network.It will be our utmost honor to have you grace us with your presence. Thank you.Best regards.The Chairman, BA.“A mogul mixer?” Damien grumbled, sliding his fingers back and forth his hair as he read his mail.The mogul mixer has become an annual event, from a regular meeting of the wealthy to an event where the CEO and people of the highest caliber, the who’s who of industry titans connect and network. An event where only the crème de la crème are usually invited, an event that drips with luxury and extravagance. It is also an event where moguls have conversations about game-changing ideas and partnerships.From onset, Damien disliked attending this occasion but they kept reminding him like they were hopeful he would change his mind one day.Immediately Damien
“But you told me she would be at home, yet no one is here” An angry Becca said.“Yes, she's supposed to be at home because she just got back from the hospital some days ago and she needs to rest”. Anna answered her friend“So we came here based on assumption? You were not sure and you know I don't like wasting my time” Becca tone changed, sounding so rude this time.Becca is one who doesn't joke with her time, she has this belief that time is an asset and should be used wisely. It's her rule that no matter what it is she wants to do, it must be at the right time and the task must be carried out.So seeing that after all the plans and money they spent, Stella was not at home.The thought of the stress they went through just to get the acid and other things to attack Stella, made Becca more annoyed.“Becca I am sorry, I know how much you value the time you spent. Seriously, if I had an idea that she could go out now, I would have mentioned that. I had no idea we wouldn't meet her at ho
Mr.Blackwood’s POVWelcome home Dad” Anna approached her father as she got his briefcase, she greeted.“Thank you my dear” Mr Blackwood sighed.Immediately he got to the house, he quickly sat on the couch. Which is so unlike him. Usually he will go to the bathroom“You look so pale dad” concerned Anna complained.“My dear I am just stressed out but It's nothing, I am fine.”“Where is your mother?”Mrs. Blackwood heard when her husband got home, but she chose not to come out and welcome him because of what happened in the morning.Mrs. Blackwood had pleaded with her husband not to take the cleaning job rather he should sue the company for trying to destroy his integrity but Mr. Blackwood paid deaf ears to her advice.He explained to her that he suspected it's a test, he said if he agrees to work as a cleaner that the chances of getting the partnership deal is high but Mrs. Blackwood didn't buy the idea.“I don't agree with such an ideology. You deserve this partnership deal, you've wo
Ken’s POVKen's alarm rang out, the sound of the annoying piercing alarm woke him up.“Please…. It's not morning yet" Ken groaned, referring to the alarm like it could hear him.Ken slept late the previous night. Everything that has been going on keeps playing repeatedly in his head, the thought of him losing his company, how difficult it is for him to repay the loan he got from Ethan, the thought of Ethan destroying his life, destroying everything he has ever built, made it difficult for him to sleep.Ken kept thinking about Mr.Blackwood. If someone with so much experience, skills and degrees could be employed as a cleaner, what will he(Ken) be seen as. Disrespecting Mr.Blackwood was a sign that he(ken) won't be chosen for the job.Ken watched his dream of partnering with one of the richest companies,crumbled right in front of him.D.F company was his sure ticket, being that it was home, he didn't have to travel out of the country to get any partnership deal. Usually, acquiring partn
STELLA’s POVStella woke up this morning with nothing on her to-do list, that was quite strange and unusual. She wondered what might have happened that made her go to bed that early, last night.Since Stella got back from the hospital, she barely had the time to rest. It's either she is glued to the TV watching her favorite show, whipping up something delicious in the kitchen, or lost in the virtual world of her phone.Sometimes she goes to work but her boss keeps sending her home so she can rest.This lifestyle got her so tired and frustrated, she is not one that loves or enjoys staying at a spot, she prefers being busy and that was one of the major reasons she was so eager to get back home.Yesterday after Damien dropped her at her house, she decided to stroll around, she walked around the street for almost an hour. When she got home, she noticed she was so tired that she went straight to her room. Although her plan was to shower, fix something to eat before going to bed. But she im
DAMIEN’s POVDamien got to the office this morning, with joy and happiness. He was so happy about the upcoming event. He saw it as an opportunity to revenge Mr. Blackwood. He was so sure the elderly man wouldn't miss the occasion, but he still told Mr.Hardy to send the letter of invitation to him, just in case he wasn't aware of it.Damien had an ulterior motive for this party and he was so eager to achieve it. Whenever his conscience pricks him, he reminds himself of what happened the last time, all the bad things the blackwoods had done to him, how they embarrassed him in public. Especially their daughter Anna, she didn't just break his heart, she made sure he was reduced to zero. The thought of the scenario made him harden his heart the more.Damien thought Anna would be his forever, he envisioned his life with her, they dated for a year, he spent his one year in that relationship only to be humiliated at the end.He knew his best friend, Stella, was against this whole revenge thin
STELLA’s POVStella got to the boutique, so excited and elated. She entered the place She sashayed into the boutique, as she smiled widely, greeting everyone she came across. At the reception table, her positive aura was felt by the receptionist, her friendly gesture and happiness was contagious. Her presence could turn a sour day into a joyous one.Stella had a lot to buy, she is definitely not going to buy just one dress. If Damien really wants to take her as his date, he will have to pay hugely for it. The thought of this made her grin widely“Hello miss, how can we help you?” snapping her out of her thoughts, one of the receptionists called out.“Oh ya, i just want to do a little shopping but i would love to start with a dress, suitable for a grand party” Stella required“Okay miss, you are in the right place, we've got you covered!” the receptionist said, giving her a warm welcome.“It’s over there,miss” the smiling receptionist gestured to the direction where she would see exact
