It was snowing heavily on a Friday night in Vancouzer. For the fact that the next day was the weekend, Katherine had gone on a girl's night with her best friend Benita, and some other girls. They were having fun in the club, when Katherine glanced at her phone screen and saw 8 missed calls from her mom. She was perplexed by the call. Immediately, she realized that her mom had told her that she would be returning from her short trip that very day. "Jesus Christ, what was I thinking?!" She exclaimed in shock, when she remembered that her mother was not with the key to the door locks. "What's the matter?" Benita asked with great concern, her blue eyes fixated on her best friend, as she noticed how worried she looked."My Mom, I think she's back, and she's stuck outside. Because I'm with all the keys." She explained, staring back at Benita. "I need to go babes, I'm sorry." She said apologetically."No, we need to go. I'm tired by the way," Benita said in support of her, and the other
"That's her. Right?" Kelvin asked Frank, staring at a young beautiful blonde at the far end of the clubhouse. Her beauty shined bright, like the rays of the early morning sun. She was perfectly shaped, her well-curved butt and hips could be seen even from afar. Her blonde hair cascaded behind her back, with her skin as bright as petals from the morning bloom. She was sitting in the middle of two hefty men, and Kelvin couldn't help but wonder who they were.It was Sunday night, Kelvin had left Vancouzer to spend the weekend in the capital. That way, he would get the chance to see his Grandpa's condition. When Frank came asking that they go clubbing together that night, Kelvin agreed. But it was all part of his game to find out what Frank was up to. "It's her huh? Come on Frank, you should know." Kelvin said, punching him lightly in the back."Give me one good reason why I should be able to identify a girl we met weeks ago. Besides, I didn't spend enough time with her." Frank said i
Mariana sat on the plane, staring outside from the window, until she dozed off. Finally, she was on her way to Boston, the capital city of Euphoria.She had searched for the Woodluck family residence in the Urban area, and with the help of the internet, she could easily locate the place. She sneaked out of the house after Katherine had left for work. When she landed in Boston, she boarded a cab directly to her destination. A few minutes later, she was standing right in front of the house. Dead silence engulfed the street, it was normal for the Urban areas. She scaled through the silent road, and all she could see was one big house and another.She sauntered towards the Woodluck mansion gate. When she got to the huge gate, a young man opened up to attend to her. "Good day ma'am, please, state your reasons for coming." He said to her politely. She stole a glance at the compound from the little view she had through the gates. She was marveled by the beauty. "I want to see the Woodluc
"I've always loved you, Mariana. Truth is, at that time, I needed something other than love. I needed to be successful, and Becca could give me that. I'm sorry I put you through all that. You didn't deserve it." Gregory said to her, his eyes filled with pain and regret. "But if given the chance in the same situation, you'll do it all over again won't you?" Mariana asked, holding up her cutlery tightly. She glared at him, and he sighed.He shifted his gaze to the direction of the sitting room, knowing someone had just arrived. "Answer my question, Gregory!" She yelled at him, but he kept still. He couldn't look her in the face, because she knew the answer to that question. He would do it all over again, if given a chance. "Where the fuck has everybody gone," Becca's voice sounded tiredly from the seating room. Gregory sighed, and ran his hands across his face. "You should go," he said to Mariana. His voice was like a whisper, and a wild smirk spread across her face, mockingly. "Y
It was early on a Saturday morning. Inside General Orlando's compound, Kelvin and Uncle Theo alighted from the car. A few minutes ago, a fleet of luxurious vehicles had flocked into the compound. Uncle Theo dashed forward, with a smile on his face, on seeing the general walking towards him, with his hands spread wide in the air. Kelvin followed him behind, counting his steps, to ensure he wasn't walking faster than him. His eyes traveled around the compound, observing everything of interest. There was a red garden by his left, he stared at the beautiful red flowers, until Uncle Theo's voice called his name, drawing his attention. As he was about to turn and face his front, he sighted a girl in the garden.He felt a rush of emotions, and it was strange. "Who is that? And why is she familiar?" He thought, but Uncle Theo called his name again, and he fastened his step.Standing before him was General Orlando. He was tall, and hefty. He had a very large mustache that made him look sca
"How dare you come to my house and tell my father about our meeting? Do you have any idea what that might cost me?" Cara yelled at Kelvin, as they were alone in the sitting room. General Orlando had led Uncle Theo out to the garden. By doing so, they gave Kelvin and Cara some privacy.Kelvin stared at her with a grin on his face. He combed his hair with his palms and peeped if there was anyone around."You should be happy I didn't talk about our meeting in Vancouzer," he whispered, and she paused in fear. She lowered her shoulders, feeling embarrassed. Her father was a very strict man, and wouldn't take such news lightly. "Oh! Please. You lost your sense of humor huh?! I was joking about that and you know it. If I was going to tell anyone we wouldn't be having this discussion." Kelvin interrupted quickly, seeing how worried she had become. "Hey listen, it's not funny. I know you think it's funny, but it's not. Don't make such jokes, please. And besides, I was drunk. You wouldn't da
"I will not tolerate such again Kelvin. What I'd hate is to divorce your father. I know you won't be happy about that, and for that, you have to call him to order!" Becca yelled at Kelvin, her eyes filled with seriousness.It had been 3 days since Mariana visited, and Becca had not been able to get her mind off her. She knew how strong her love for Gregory was back in the day.Kelvin sat on the sofa confused about the whole thing. "Mom, what are you telling me? I need you to calm down and speak so I can understand." He said tiredly, after hearing so many angry words from his Mom.Becca sighed and sniffed in twice. Her eyes have become teary. In truth, she was scared of Mariana, because she was the one person that could ruin her beautiful marriage. "Okay… okay," she said and wiped her eyes clean."I came back home 3 days ago, son. I was surprised when I got to the dining and saw your father and his first lover back in high school. You won't believe son, it's Katherine's Mom, Mariana
In Vancouzer, the faded sunlight brightened up the day, melting away the early morning snow. The people went about their daily lives like nothing else mattered.Mariana was in the kitchen making dishes, anticipating the return of Johnny, her only son. Ever since she returned from the Woodluck's home, she had not been able to spend a minute without thinking about Gregory.A loud thud from the sitting room startled her. She was alone at home, Katherine had left for God knows where. So who could it be in the sitting room? She thought.She dropped everything she had on her and picked up her phone to call 911 in case of danger. She sauntered towards the sitting room to confirm who it was.A few minutes ago, a fleet of luxurious vehicles, Maybachs, Mercedes, Bugattis, and many more drove Kelvin and stopped by the house. Kelvin walked into the house in his expensive tuxedo suit, with two hefty bouncers following him behind. As he stepped in, the room was quiet, but he knew someone had to be
