" 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.

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
A LIFE OF LUXURYReuben walked out of the study room and went to his own apartment.He branched to one side of the hallway and called on one of the guards." Tell the driver to get the black chauffeur ready, and tell my guards to get ready too, we are going out in the next twenty minutes," Reuben instructed the guard.The guard nodded and left at once.Reuben walked into his apartment from there.Annabelle was just about finishing up dressing when Reuben walked in." Done already?" She asked as reuben entered the roomReuben nodded in the affirmative." Yeah, I told you it was a quick one.I only need to confirm some things, and that's all." Reuben stated and dropped his mobile phone beside Annabelle. " Well, breakfast has been served already, Iets go to the table now,"Annabelle said and stood up from the chair she was sitting on.She took the lead out, and Reuben followed behind.They sat around the dining table facing each other, and Annabelle served the food.Fifteen minutes lat
WELCOME THE QUEENAnnabelle heaved a sigh." So where will we be going now?" She asked." We are currently heading towards your workplace, we have about twenty minutes ahead," Reuben replied and took two glasses on top of the refrigerator behind them.Annabelle nodded." But I was thinking about something.The last time we left the house, we left the car over there, but we will be going to your workplace soon.How do you intend to give them back their car? " Annabelle asked.Reuben smiled." Yesterday, I sent my boys to go clean the house and all that.So they will meet us at my workplace in the car.Then I will hand it over to them. " Reuben explained.Reuben filled the two glasses hallway with the wine.Annabelle looked around, and the interior of the car, coupled with the noiseless feature, made it look as though they were in some room." So, y
TWO MODES OF THINKING FOR TWO DISTRESSED PEOPLEMonday Morning In The Anderson.Louisa had just showered down after waking up from sleep.She was visibly not happy with herself.She sat on the edge of her bed, lost in deep thoughts.She was worried about the recent happenings in her family.Everything was going south for them.She had never experienced such a terrible time ever in her life.She grew up in this family.Knowing very well that they were rich people and could afford to do anything.She herself attended one of the best schools in the country.However, as she was now grown, it looked as though everything she had seen while growing up was a filter covering the face of the family. On the outside, everything was going well, and everyone knew they were one of the richest families in the country.However, ever since she got close with her grandmother, she had come to realize that everything was not as smooth as it seemed.They were in a deep financial crisis, and everything
