Maxwell held her in his arms for a while not willing to let go."You know we can't stay like this for the whole day," She said with a soft chuckle following.Maxwell exhaled and pulled away slowly "I missed you," He said staring into her eyes.Riya smiled at him and said in a low voice too "I missed you too"Maxwell moved his gaze from her face to her body as if he were scanning her. She stared at him silently waiting for him to speak. Instead, he held her and pulled her to the bed where he made them sit while squatting in front of her. "Riya, you look pale... Are you sick?" He asked. Riya smiled and said in a low "Is that the reason for the sudden change of mood..?"She asked. He looked away briefly and looked back at her almost at the same time." I do not want you to be sick " he said sincerely. Riya grinned and touched his chin slowly." I am not sick but I am not all fine either" She announced."Whatever it is, you know you can talk to me about it," He said holding her hands in
Carson walked over to where Karen was standing and pulled her into a tight embrace. He hugged her tightly for a few seconds and strangely she allowed him without making any effort to resist him.He took a sit on the chair after pulling away from the hug while she sat on the table facing the soft wooden board."Can you explain to me why my picture mysteriously appeared on the board because I can swear that I didn't see it yesterday" She said.Carson exhaled softly and said in a low voice "What do you think everyone on those pictures have in common" He asked."I do not know, I can't possibly have anything in common with that son of a bitch" She said.Carson hissed at her critics and said in more serious tone "Just focus and think" He said to her.Karen hissed slightly and said in a low voice, "didn't you say that it was your job, you tell me" She said.Carson scoffed and grabbed himself up from the chair. He walked towards the board and picked a small marker on the side of the board bef
Riya was sitting beside Amelia when she woke that morning. She slept very long because she could not catch a sleep the previous night until almost dawn."Riya.. Are you really here?" She asked as they held each other in a tight embrace.Riya patted her back like a child and said in a very soft voice "Yes, darling. I'm here for you. I'm not going anywhere" She said.They held themselves in that position for a few minutes more silence until a light knock came on the door.Riya pulled away slowly and said "Let me taked that"She stood up from the bed and went to the door to answer it. Opening the door, she saw Matty standing with a tray of food."Thank you, Matty" Riya said with a broad smile collecting the tray from the elderly lady.It was filled with different dishes from pancake to conflakes, tea, slices of bread, little chops and hotdogs, there was also a jar of jam and sealed plate of mayonnaise on the tray."It's time to eat something" Riya announced placing the tray on the stool
"What are these nonsense you're saying to me. Didn't I order you to go on tight security?" He screamed into the phone."I'm.. I'm.. Sorry sir, they were more armed than our security and they outnumbered us.We have a few fallen guards too. It's really bad" that guard said from the other end of the phone.His voice was shaky as he spoke and the tension with which he spoke explained more than in words the condition he was in."Are you injured?" Wilson asked"No sir.." The guard replied."Now get the hell out of there before the police arrives." He said."Okay sir" the guard replied instantly.Without hesitation, he ended the call and hit his fist I the fest angrily "Shit!!"It was a million dollars deal that he had just lost to some unknown highjackers.He hissed loudly and rested his back on the sit obviously confused at the situation.He was trying to think about who would have done that and no one else came to his mind except his ex boss in the business, Eric."This is not going to
Kate hissed loudly when she realized that it was a dream "They won't allow me be even in my sleep" She lamented."When bad things happens in one's dream, it's often referred to as a warning for such person" James said.Kate turned to him and asked "How are you sure about that" She asked.James with his ever smiling face "Oh no, I'm not sure especially because I've never had a dream before in my entire life. It was just one of my late sister's theories" he said.Kate brushed her hand through her slowly and said in a low voice "Hmmm.... What about when a good thing happens in your dream?"She asked.James scoffed and said" You mean your dream. Ma'am I just told you I've never had a dream before " He said." Yes, my dream"She corrected."Well, my sister would say it is a sign that something good is coming. Although I do not believe that crap" He said."Why?" Kate asked standing up from the bed."She always had beautiful dreams yet she died like one who never had a dream. How is that beaut
"I have always been a good guy" He replied."Well, I do not see you as one..." She muttered making Carson gasped as he listened to her "So how is this going to help our fight" She asked him.Carson minimized the video on his iPad and turned to her slowly facing her directly. They were so close that they could feel each other's breath."What are you doing?" She asked in a low voice.He held her hand gently and asked in a very low voice "Were you serious?""Serious about what?" She asked looking all surprised."That you do not see me as a good guy?" He asked. Karen chuckled and said "Oh please, that was nothing," She said. Carson shook his head in disagreement and said in a low voice "It does not mean nothing" He said holding her two hands in his. "Just tell me why you said it, what have I done?" He asked. Karen saw the seriousness in his face and was frightened. She had just said it like a joke, she never expected him to be all so serious about it. "Carson, like for real you're a
Matty smiled and simply told her to go and be with Amelia. "She needs you by her side. You will not believe that lastnight she tried stabbing herself to death" age saod "Please go"Riya nodded her head bit she was not still satisfied with the response.It was not the reason she would just insist in doing the laundry when it was obviously something that would not take her too long to finish up. It's not like she was going to be washing the clothes with her hands.She walked back to Amelia's room worried about the woman's sudden hospitality.Almost at Amelia's door step she heard Maxwell call her name."Riya" He called.She turned around slowly and faced him. Waiting for him to speak but he seemed to be carried away by something she didn't understand."Are you okay, Max?" She asked in a tone of concern.Maxwell suddenly got to himself and said in a low voice "Yea, I was just.... You look so beautiful" He complimented instead.Riya chuckled and said in a loud voice " Oh my God, please don
Wilson entered the living room still looking angry as he was when he left Eric's mansion.He could not stop thinking about who it was that would have hijacked his goods like that.He sat on the couch thinkung deeply about the things that Eric had said.He had no reason to trust Eric why then should he consider the things he said to him today.He knew the loss will cause a shake in his business and the buyers who he was shipping the goods too will soon start disturbing him about it.He stood up slowly from the couch and walked towards the stairs diverting to the direction leading to Amelia's room.He had not seen her since that day and he was not even aware of Riya got to the mansion like she said she would.He got to the door and knocked on it lightly.Amelia who was sitting on her bed after covering up with a pair of loosed Jean and white top stood up from her bed to get the door.She thought it was Riya who had also stepped out the moment Maxwell stepped out of the room."Dad?" She
