I HAVE ALREADY FILED The waiter served the food and left the table. Louisa heaved a sigh and cleared her throat. “ Please, I want you to be very honest with me. I don't know what is going on, and I would appreciate it if you could tell me” Louisa said with a tone of sincerity in her voice. She was really sure the silent treatment she was observing from Ethan was not about the ghosting. Ethan shook his head and smiled wickedly. “ Are you really eager to know what you have done?” Ethan asked and frowned. Louisa nodded without a word, confusion written all over on her face. Ethan shook her head in the negative and picked up the brown envelope on the table. Without a word, he handed it over to Louisa. Louisa took the paper with much nervousness and slowly opened the envelope. She wondered what was in the envelope that made Ethan so angry. She slowly took out some hard papers from the envelope and heaved a sigh. She took out the papers and stared at it. It contained pictur
IT IS REALLouisa’s mouth went wide open as she heard the word from Ethan’s mouth.“ Sorry, what did you say?” Louisa asked in a whispering tone.She heard what Ethan said clearly. She just wanted to be sure she had not heard the wrong thing.She never for once thought she would hear this from Ethan, at least, not when they had already talked cool on the phone.Ethan was speaking just fine, and nothing showed he was angry or that he was not in a good mood.Louisa just wished this whole thing was a dream.A dream where she could wake up and all will be over.She would have woken up and unheard all that she had heard this very momentEthan was silent as she heard the question from Louisa.He acted as though he did not hear it.“ What did you mean by that?” Louisa repeated her question“ You heard me right ma’am . I said I have filed for a divorce, and there is nothing you can do about it.” Ethan repeated himselfLouisa closed her eyes and heaved a sigh.“ You can’t do this now,
DENIED AND DECLINED.Grandma Anderson was in her room when she heard the footsteps of Louisa in the corridor.She knew Louisa was just about leaving for her date with ethan.She heaved a sigh as she sat on her study chair, behind her already functioning laptop.She was working on something on her laptop and had stood up to go get herself a glass of water.As Louisa’s footsteps faded away down the hallway, she could not help but drift back to her thoughts about all the recent happenings, losing focus on what she was doing before she stood up.She thought about Louisa.Louisa was her only hope and comfort, and as if it had already been planned, she too was leaving to face her own life,Now she (Grandma) had been left to her own fate.She felt like the whole world had turned against her.Family, friends, business partners, and finally Louisa.She heaved a sigh as she drifted back to reality.She looked at the time that was displayed on the laptop in front of her.It was alre
NO, FORGIVEN, or IT IS JUST IMPOSSIBLE. Thursday evening, Brooks mansion.Annabelle had just had her first session with her teacher, who was supposed to brief her about her upcoming role in the family.She had just arrived back in the room, and they were having their dinner ( Herself and Reuben) As they ate, Reuben's phone beepedHe checked it and smiled at Annabelle." Grandpa wants to have a brief meeting with us," Reuben said as he dropped the phone." Us?" Annabelle asked.Reuben nodded." Well, it's kind of urgent, but I don't know what it really is.But wait, Your sister in law will be leaving for school very soon.We have a series of court appearances to make in the next two weeks ahead. From there, she will leave for school, " Annabelle said with a smile." Hmm, I am going to be lonely here, mehn.When you get to work. I will surely miss her.I am quite surprised she had not told me this." Annabelle said.Reuben smiled and grinned." Remember I am here, and besides, you are
SOONER THAN EXPECTEDAfter the discussion about their response to the meeting, Grandpa nodded and heaved a sigh before speaking." Alright, the time she gave for this meeting is tomorrow afternoon.And I want all of us to be present by then..Do you think the time will be suitable for all of us?" Grandpa asked" I would not be free, but I can spare the time, but Annabelle would be with her teacher by then." Reuben said." Well, I would not be free by then.Tomorrow, I will be working on their lawsuit.Gathering the necessary evidence and speaking with our lawyersI can't make it, " Andrea chirped.Grandpa nodded in the affirmative." Alright then, since we all will be busy by tomorrow, we will schedule the meeting for Saturday.Andrea, prepare the lawsuit very early, and don't forget our proposal letters. Then we can take it from there.If she agrees to our proposal, then we have only one lawsuit, but if she disagrees, then we have a double lawsuit and I bet that will be too dangero
KEEN TO SEE THE ENDGrandpa nodded in affirmation as he heard that.“ That is a good development then.I would like to see the look on her face when she gets to know all these things.”|Grandpa said and grinned loudly. Reuben nodded and smiled." But what was it about? What did Williams do that made them capture him and made him tongueless?" Andrea asked in surprise." Well, from my sources, he had intimacy with Louisa and kept a video of it.He tried using that to blackmail them, and Grandma Anderson did that to him after getting the video.Unfortunately, my sources have it that there are still copies of the videos somewhere with Williams that the Andersons do not know about." Reuben exclaimed." Wow, this is really serious.As much as this guy offended them, he did not deserve to be treated that way.The law will still fight for him when the police get to know about this." Andrea replied." Well, the guy is still in the hospital receiving treatment, and the police are still inv
HANGOVERGrandma Anderson woke up from her deep sleep.She stretched lazily in her bed and sat up slowly.Glancing at the wall clock, she realized that it was already another morning.She heaved a sigh and bowed her head quietlyShe needed to prepare for the two meetings she had in the day.She picked up her phone and saw that she had received some new mail from Mr Brooks.She smiled, thinking her invitation had been honored.She read the message, and it stated that they could not honor the message on the day and time she had requested. ( Which was in the mid hours of that very day).She was utterly disappointed but calmed down, however, when they stated another day and time for the meeting, pending if she was cool with it.( the mid hours of the next day instead).Grandma dropped her phone and breathed heavily.She had to get ready to go meet her investors.She already knew the outcome of the meeting she was bound to attend, but she just had to be present.Then she remembered she co
TIME FOR A LAST REVIEWGrandma’s car drove in through the big gates of the factory.The driver parked in the lot and got down from the car.He came over to Grandma’s side of the car and opened the door for her.Grandma got down from the car with her handbag in her hand and her mobile phone in the other.She looked around the place.The workers were going about their daily work, and the wholesalers were busy.The n loud noises from the machines were heard in the compound.Grandma heaved a sigh.All the machines around were working perfectly except for a few of them which were in really bad shape.A smile landed on her lips but soon faded away after worry brushed over her soul.Very soon, this beautiful place full of life and hope was going to be dead silent.The workers were going to be in their houses and there would be no one around.The machines will rust away, and the whole place is going to be useless.Nothing could be made out of it.The suppliers who were coming with
