Ethan and Jacob shook hands together after Jacob gave him a word of comfort.“Are you heading back home now, or do you still need some things to put in place?” Ethan asked him while packing some important documents into his briefcase.“I’m done with my task for today, and I believe everyone should be done as well. As you can see, it’s already 5:30 pm, and we are still here at the office gisting when we should be at home resting.” He responded to him.“Since you are done with your work for today, do you mind if I drop you off at your place since yours comes before mine?” He asked him politely, with his briefcase neatly placed on the table.Jacob's face was filled with joy. “I don’t mind hopping in your car to get a little lift from you; after all, it’s favourable to me," he said to him.“If you are thinking that I’ll give you preferential treatment or go to a nearby store to get one or two for you, then you have to start scraping away the thought from your mind.” He laughed at him a bi
“Can you hear me, Nadia?" He asked once more, but still there wasn't a response from her.He turned off the shower and quickly tied his towel, using his phone as a torchlight to look at the stairs as he walked downstairs.“Nadia, where are you? Now is not the time to play your hide-and-seek games. This is becoming scary, and I can't afford to lose you this time around." He spoke up with his torchlight, trying to search for the current box.Suddenly, he heard the sound of a cup falling down from the kitchen and the suffocating sound of a voice. He hurried straight up to the kitchen, and as he got there, he was grabbed by someone from the back, strangling his neck.“Help! Help!" Ethan screamed out for help but couldn't get a response from anyone, as everywhere was so calm that only his voice echoed through the kitchen.He made use of his back leg to kick the unknown person struggling to hold onto his neck. The moment he forcefully kicked the person, the person landed on the floor with h
“I have no idea who would have possibly done this to me." He responded over the phone."Are you sure about this? Take your time to think, reflect, and remember if you know anyone capable of doing something like this to you." He asked him one more time.Ethan placed himself around his sitting room, trying to think of anyone he might have offended in any way, but he still couldn't stick to one person.“I can't think of any person's name right now, Jacob. Besides, it's late over here, and I'm just recovering from all that has happened." He replied to him while he sat on the couch, feeling so weak.“I understand if you can't come up with a name, but don't you think it could be Bella?" Jacob asked him.“Bella? ” He chuckled out loud with his question.“Yes! Bella, why are you laughing? Did I say anything funny just now?" He asked him back with a more serious tone of voice.“Not at all. I'm just wondering how it could be, Bella. Even though I know she might be that harsh, that young lady do
The early morning sun came into the room where Marco and Bella lay as the alarm clock rang and woke them up from their deep sleep.Marco felt too weak to wake up as he struggled to get up from bed after a long day at work yesterday. Bella, on the other side, wasn't in bed with Marco either; she woke up as early as 6 a.m. to prepare breakfast.The notification sound chimed in, and Marco resisted picking it up. The sound came in consistently, and out of frustration, he yelled out, “What the hell is wrong with this Aaron of a boy? Why can't he just allow me to breathe and accept his fate that he can't work for me again? After all, there are other companies that he can present his certificate to and get employed at." He wailed out.Ping! Ping! The messages kept coming in.“Alright! I know what to do. Since this boy doesn't want to let me be, it's high time I block him and put him on the blacklist." He said to himself,.He grabbed his phone that was lying on the bed and was about to block
Marco left the house and drove all the way to Natasha's house, where she and Junior live.Ding! Dong!He pressed the doorbell as he stood outside in patience, waiting for her to come get the door for him. Although she had no idea that he'd be coming to visit her this early morning,He pressed the bell for the second time; this time around, he made it harder that someone from the next door would be able to hear the sound of the bell.“Who is at the door?" The voice was heard from inside the room as she asked.Marco stood there with smiles all over his face, planning to pay her a surprise visit, so he didn't respond.He pressed the bell again for the third time, looking left and right with his hands covering his face to block the scorching sun.“I'm coming to get the door; just hold on a little longer, and I'll be right there.” She responded, thinking that it was a delivery.She dropped the dishes that she was washing and dried her hands up with the clothes so that she'd be able to come
"I know what's best for you,Natasha. I know that the only thing you need right now is money, and that's why I try every night and day to toil the land until you get whatever you want." He blurted out that this time around Marco was about to lose it.“You think you know what's best for me, huh? You think I'm like other girls who follow you around just to lick your ass and wipe your feet just to be blessed with peanuts?" She scoffed out.Marco raised his hands in the air and was about to hit her.“Hit me, Marco! Hit me!" She used her head to push him backward, daring him to do his worst.“Woman! I beg you, with everything in me, don't let me do what I'll end up regretting later. You are pushing me to the wall, and if I unleash my anger on you, you won't be able to wake up." He scoffed out in anger.“Oh well! I know that you are capable of doing something bad like that, and that's why you keep pushing me away so as not to have physical contact with you."“Natasha, I think you are getting
“How dare she cut the call on me? Is she that dumb, or is she trying to act like Miss Know It All?” She lashed out as she watched the call beep slowly.“Is it that she has no idea that Marco is a married man and I’m his legally wedded wife even though someone is trying to snatch him away from me?’- she spoke to herself before picking up her phone to redial the number.The number rang once before the receiver spoke, "Ma'am, with all due respect, you are disrupting me from working. I’ve told you earlier that you are not calling the right company customer line number.” She blurted out, still maintaining her cool.“Hey! Young lady, I might not know your name or where you are from, but I know that I know the right number that I dialed. Are you not working for Marco's company?’ She asked her, waiting for her feedback.“I’m working for Marco’s company, and one of his staff members works closely for him.” She answered her professionally.“Good girl! Do you know any woman called Bella?’ She th
Ethan crawled out of bed to check if the house was still intact the way he had arranged it before going to bed last night.He went straight to the kitchen to gulp a cup of water before hitting the gym in the morning.“Uncle Ethan, have you called a private investigator to look into the matter? I was unable to sleep last night, even though I tried my best to close my eyes to catch up with the sleep, but it still didn't show up." Nadia asked him while hopping down the stairs majestically.“I'm so sorry that you weren't able to sleep last night. I also didn't sleep as well. I was watching over you to be sure that you were in safe hands. I don't ever want to lose you, Nadia." He assured her with his words.“I also don't want to lose you, uncle Ethan; that's why it's very necessary that you call a private investigator to come investigate this matter." she suggested.“I'll call a private investigator once I'm done with my gym practice, Nadia.” He answered her while lifting up the gym.“Uncl
