DO IT YOURSELVESAfter a few seconds of silence in the room, Madam Rebecca finally found her voice and spoke." Well, the deed has already been done. What we need to do now is to get her to tell us where she kept those jewellery so we can retrieve it and give it back to you.Then we will discuss this amicably, please." Madam Rebecca said in a pleading voiceLouisa let out a small mocking smile.She knew, of course, that the people knew nothing about what was going on.Grandma grinned and spoke again." I can see you guys are in shock, but you should not be yet.You are saying you want to retrieve the stolen jewellery. That is a nice initiative.Now, this is the newsThat beloved granddaughter of yours went to sell my jewellery at a lower price to someone, and the person ran away with both the jewellery and the money.Now this same person was her friend, and the man went to another country to enjoy with the money. As we speak, he is dead.And she confessed that at the station, " Grand
ITS YOUR TIME TO REVENGEThe Brooks MansionIt was Sunday evening, about two hours to the family party for Reuben and Annabelle. Reuben and Andrea sat in front of their grandfather, Grandpa Roland. They had just walked into the call of their grandfather for a quick meeting." So I called you guys to ask you about how far you have gone with what I gave you to do," Grandma said.He leaned back in his chair, waiting for them to speak.Reuben and Andrea looked at each other before Reuben motioned to Andrea to speak first.Andrea nodded and began " I have prepared th resignationletters you asked me to and I have already scheduled them to be sent very early to to morrow morning.I have also done the preparations for the office of Annabelle.The tutor who will take her through is ready, and at the moment, we are just waiting for the day she will start work.However, I realised she dies not know so many important things she is supposed to know, so I am taking her through all of them gradu
WHO ARE THEY??Reuben walked down the hallway and headed to his own apartment. He walked in and realized the househelps were still cleaning the dining hall.He had left to go meet with Grandpa Roland and Andrea immediately after his dinner with Annabelle. He walked into the bedroom.Annabelle was not in there. He could see a new cloth spread on the bed.A noise coming in from the shower prompted him that Annabelle was in the bathroom.He took a glance at the wall clock.There was just an hour left to party.Hea heaved a sigh and sat on the bed, his phone in his hands.He placed a call and spoke with the person for over three minutes.Immediately, he ended the call, and Reuben dropped the call, Annabelle walked in with a towel wrapped around her body." Back already?" She exclaimed as she saw Reuben sitting on the bed.Reuben nodded with a smile and stared at Annabelle. Annabelle noticed Reubens stare immediately." Why are you staring at me like that? '' Annabelle asked, her voice
" NOT YET, BUT THEY EVENTUALLY WILL"Reuben continued with his narration" I went to the house in disguise as an orphan who was adopted by Mr Anderson.The contract marriage was arranged between me and the lady.However, as if planned, the whole family hated me like I was some sort of an alien in the family, except for Mr Anderson, who really knew who I was.Coincidentally, Mr Anderson passed away about two years after I stayed with them.Right after his death, they utterly transformed me into a househelp in the house.I was supposed to be present at all family gatherings to clean their mess.I was treated like trash in the family.Everyone hated me just because I had married their favourite in the house.They felt I was worthless to marry their daughter.As if it had been planned, I never had intimacy with the lady all through the three years of marriage.After the death of Mr. Anderson, the maltreatment was so huge, so I resorted to being a delivery guy to make myself useful. Wel
THE KIDNAP II" How do you mean they will?" Annabelle asked." I know they will because sooner or later, they will begin to suffer." Reuben replied"And what was it about the kidnapping you said about?". Annabelles asked again.She seemed more concerned about what they were discussing than what lay ahead of them.Reuben realized Annabelle wanted to know about everything that was going on with the Anderson family; he was willing to tell her everything she really needed to know .But not the part about their revenge.He knew, of course, that Annabelle was a very understanding and soft woman. Therefore, if she heard about the revenge, she would plead with them to forgo it so that there would be peace.But Reuben was keen on getting his revenge, just like his grandfather.He heaved a sigh when Annabelle asked the question and narrated to her." Well, the stalking started when you helped me get the job as a delivery captain in the company.I was asked to deliver an item to address, and
I NEVER KNEW YOUReuben continued his speech." The manager apologized grossly and said we should wait for the police to arrive so we could solve the situation and then arrest the culprits, including the one who made the order.The police came around and took the delivery address and the na.e of the person who ordered the parcel.On getting the information, they communicated with their office and found out that the address was the hub of one of the notorious criminals in the city.The police had tried arresting him so many times, but it had been very hard.He told me point blank that I was very lucky to have survived out of the place. And even without the bruises, it was a miracle on its own.They explained that they would be investigating the case and that they would give me protection for some time, just in case the group comes back for me.The manager apologized once again and gave me the day and the next off from work.That was when I realized that the manager knew nothing abo
A LOVE FOR LIFEMonday MorningAnnabelle opened her eyes and scanned around the room. She stretched lazily on the bed and looked around.She looked beside her, Reuben was not there, glancing at the wall clock. It was already a few minutes to 8 am.She stretched lazily and sat up on the bed.The sound of running water coming from the bathroom prompted her that reuben was in there.She sat leaned against the wall and heaved a sigh with a sleepy eye.She was tired from the previous day, and because of that, she had slept longer than usual.The previous evening had been a happy and tiring one. She really had fun with Reuben and his family, regardless of the fact that she was new to the family. She felt at home, and everyone accepted her with joy.Now, all that seemed like a dream, to her, had now turned into a reality. All the things she never believed were real had now been proven to be real.She heaved a sigh, and a smile brushed across her lips.She was now the Queen of the Brooks fa
A STUDENT GOING FOR AN INTERVIEW Annabelle emerged from the washroom about ten minutes later.Reuben was already dressed in a pair of back trousers and a white long sleeved shirt with a necktie.He looked like a young student who was going to an interview.Annabelle burst out laughing at the sight of reuben.Reuben looked around him to see any defects, or maybe, the reason for Annabelle's laughter, yet he found nothing.Now, he was interested in knowing the reason for Annabelle's laughter." You literally look like a new university student reporting to school for the first time," Annabelle said amidst.Reuben joined her in the laugh.He faced the mirror and looked at himself in it, and realized Annabelle was right.However, he was cool with the way he was looking. " But seriously, I look good in that.I just feel like wearing this today.Like I used to do back at work." Reuben said.Annabelle was finally able to control herself from laughing.She just looked at Reuben with a smile on
