CHAPTER 35GRANDMA IS NO MOREThomas pulled her out of the building so she could take her mind off what Lady Victoria had done.“Come on, Maven, you have to give her space, at least for now. It's for your own good,” Thomas advised.“She hit me, Thomas.”And what are you going to do about it?Hit her? Come on, it’s a mother-daughter misunderstanding. I believe she will come around, so be calm. Come, grandma is waiting." He said he was stretching his palm out for her. She need not think twice that he is asking for the keys. She threw it to him, and he grabbed it. He pushed the open button on the key, and when the car clicked open, he opened the door for Maven to enter.You need to be calm. Remember, you are going to meet Grandma, and right there is a whole bunch of anger you would have to carry." Thomas advised.“It’s fine”. Maven said and smiled.They drove to Grandma’s house, having fun with songs and discussion. The moment Thomas pulled up in front of Grandma’s house, her countenanc

SHE IS GONE Grandma Clara lay on the bed, breathing slowly. They all looked at her, and a great fear gripped them. Dr. Ambrose quickly called the hospital so they could bring the oxygen, and in no time, the ambulance came bearing the oxygen cylinder. “Doctor Ambrose, don’t you think we should take her to the hospital at once?” one of the nurses asked with concern in her eyes. “We can’t take her away from here. The minute we try to lift her form here, she might not recover from the attack. So it’s best to leave her and administer the medications until she is stable enough to move the distance. “Okay doctor. If you say so." The nurse stood aside and rolled the little first-aid box to the side. Maven watched their every move. She is fully aware that Grandma never really likes her, but letting grandma die a sudden death is something she cannot stand. Her uncles were going to kick her out of the company and leave her with nothing. She clasped her hands together and said a little pra

GRANDMA IS HEALEDGrandma looked at them for a second and frowned. “You mean Thomas helped me back to life, and all you could do was lock him up?”‘We thought…”"Oh, shut your trap.” Grandma lashed at Patrick for the first time. “That’s a very foolish and ungrateful thing to do. I could have been dead and gone forever, and the young man did his little magic. Release him fast." She ordered him, and that instant, Patrick called the cops to release Thomas. "Grandma, are you alright?” Maven asked her. She was sitting upright on her bed, and David had curled up beside Grandma like he was going to give her a spare life if this didn’t last.“I am fine, Maven, thanks to that husband of yours for bringing me back to life." Grandma said with a scowl, That is the typical grandma; she never really appreciates anything that comes from Maven with her heart. In about twenty minutes, Thomas showed up."Hey, thank you for your help; they told me everything." Grandma said this the moment she saw Thoma

A DAY AT THE GYMThe alarm clock rang so loudly in Thomas’ ears that he woke up jumping out of bed. Maven was already tired of having him around her space, so she secretly moved him to the guest room. Mom would only wonder why the duo stopped sharing the same room, and once she had asked, Maven told her that she needed some space for herself to think, and besides, the room was almost too small to accommodate both of them. He sprang to his feet and rushed into the bathroom. He had totally forgotten that he had an appointment with Sir Larry. Today was the first day of the fight, and he had to be there quite early. Sir Larry was already upset about the last time they had met when Thomas arrived late. It doesn’t matter if Victoria dies of hunger this time; he doesn’t truly care because what he has waiting for him in a few months is way bigger than Victoria and her entire family out together. And even as rich as the Taylors are, they are poor compared to the kind of wealth Grandpa Al Th

THE FIRST FIGHTThomas looked at the young man the way he paraded himself as the strongest all over the gym. Thomas had no idea who he was, but with the way he claimed to be the strongest, Thomas proposed in his heart to avoid him. They finally called on the two contestants to fight for the day. Thomas had no idea who he was going to fight with but the roar from the hall. He didn't even bulge since everyone was out and he was alone. He quickly sat down on the bench and brought out his gloves, and just as he was about to put them on the door, he flung them open. “Hey Thomas, are you not ready yet? The match is about to start, and your name has been called so much that once I untold you, lateness is not allowed here." Sir Larry scolded him. “Well, I am the man of the moment, so everyone must wait until I get there." Thomas answered and began to giggle.“Why are you giggling? ”I am being serious right now; you have to move at once." Sir Larry scolded him and waited for him to start run

Making Grandpa proudThomas jabbed him one more time on the nose, and his nose broke. The big man fell to the ground and was unconscious. The final bell came, and Thomas and his coach ran to raise Thomas hand as the winner of the fight.“Meanwhile behind the scene was Sir Larry shooting and clapping happily. “That’s my boy." He shouted happily and hugged a total stranger beside him. The man stood and looked at him like he was crazy.“That’s my boy.”“And I heard you for the first time, man." The strange-looking man responded to him. Thomas was held high, and the crowd began to boo and wonder if their favorite celebrity was never going to get off the ground, even though he was still breathing. Sir Larry ran up to the ring and carried Thomas up. “You did great, boy. At first, I thought you were going to let the big guy beat you to a pulp, but now I know better that you saved all that energy in you for the very last minute. And I love that survival technique you used on him. It was jus

A NICE TIME AT GRANDPA'S PLACELucas and Thomas walked into Grandpa Al Thani’s home happily after taking time to hug at the entrance. Thomas, too, had the excitement of meeting Grandpa again. He smiled and rushed up to meet with Grandpa. In the living room, Grandpa sat on this wheelchair with a smile, and this time he had no suit on him but black pants and a grey golf shirt.“Grandpa, you look good." Thomas said this and smiled at his grandfather, who was looking at him with awe."Thomas, my son, you have done me proud; at least I can now breathe my very last breath." He said he was holding Thomas by the hand.“Grandpa does sound like that. I know very well that you are not dying now, and you can be alive to see all that I shall accomplish if I finally get to win the final medal as well as get the medicine for all the problems I will be solving. Plus, we still have a whole lot of things to do, so cheer up, pop." Thomas said that and kissed Grandpa on the cheek.“Come have a good meal.

GROCERY SHOPPINGThe moment Thomas saw Maven pull up in front of him he couldn’t stop but wondered if she had seen the car that had just dropped him off. For a poor guy like him everyone in the city knows that no wealthy person in their right state of mind would want to associate with his class. He was poor and from a wretched home. He stood there looking at her with shock in his eyes.“Get into the car man”. She said to him with a smile on her face.“Where are you even coming from? I have searched the entire house for you”, she said to him.“You’ve been home the entire time?” Thomas asked looking at her as he fastens his seat belt.“Not exactly. I was home to pick up some documents and I didn’t find you anywhere around and just couldn’t ask mom because of course you know her response”. Maven said as she turned the car towards the city.“Where are we going?” Thomas asked with excitement building up in his tone. He always loves to go on drives with maven but must times they always end

HOME AT LAST The moment they finished the duo got up and began to walk from the VIP lounge section to the main restaurant. Suddenly Thomas paused as a sense of danger hit him. His eyes shot a glowing green light and when Maven saw it she became very terrified. “What is wrong with you Thomas?Why are your eyes glowing?”she began to panic.From all she could see, Thomas looked like a demigod. “Is everything alright? The moment she shook him violently he came back to his original self. The green glow in his eyes died down immediately. “I think someone needs my help around here”. He said unbuttoning his suit as he began to walk faster. He increased his pace so much that Maven had to run along with him. “What do you mean someone needs your help?” she asked him but he gave her deaf ears and continued without stopping to say a single word. She called his name and ran after him till they got to the hall. “Call the ambulance”. Maven heard loud voices screaming while others tried to gi

A DATE The moment Maven got home her mom had done the decorations and a cake was placed on the table with candles. ‘What’s going on here? Maven asked as she walked into the living room. Lady Victoria had a smile on her face. “Happy birthday my child”. Lady Victoria said, handing the glass of wine to Maven. ‘Mom. You did all of this for me? Awn! Thank you so much”. Maven said smiling, she took the glass from her mom and sipped from the wine. “This is good.” She then cleared her throat and clasped her hands together. “Look what we have here”.She exclaimed and rushed off to sit close to the cake. I have a wish and I want to make it. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath for a second before blowing off the candle sticks. Lady Victoria and Abigail clapped their hands happily. “Happy birthday Ms.” Abigail said to her and handed her a small box. “You got me a gift too?’ Maven asked with her eyes watering. “Come here” she grabbed the lady and hugged her tightly.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAVEN "What agreement are you talking about mom?"Maven asked her mother. “You know about it already and Grandma here knows too. It’s long overdue and I need to get my life together. A life outside of the Taylor’s roof”. Lady Victoria was determined to get her life back at least for the rest of her days. Having a companion and someone to share her burden with. “Grandma, what do you have to say to this proposal?’ Maven asked, looking at her grandma with knowing eyes. “Mom, what exactly are they talking about? What deal do you have with Victoria? Do you have any idea Derrick?’ Patrick turned to his brother and asked him. Derrick shook his head. “I have no damn idea anything like this ever took place. “Whoa! Mom, that's pure wickedness. I thought all these while she stayed back with us because she so loved her husband and wanted to keep the legacy going. I never knew you had some contract running right under our noses” Patrick said the words without filtrating an

WE ARE SORRY Since the incident Maven has just been minding her business until Grandma’ request for dinner came through. She had always known who grandma was when it came to having dinner or lunch or even breakfast at her place. With all that has gone on she just doesn’t want to get entangled with grandma and her boys, just focusing on her job and if need be quit if another chaos comes. All that mattered to her right now was her peace of mind and sanity. Maven walked down to meet her mother in the living room. “Mom, did Grandma Clara call you?’ She asked her mother if she had her eyes glued on the TV for her favorite show. The lady shook her head repeatedly without taking her eyes off the screen. “Well, I guess we would be having dinner at grandmas’ I suggest you go get dressed.” She informed her mother. Lady Victoria looked up at Maven with a frown on her face. “I am not going to Clara’s house for no dinner” she said rudely, grabbing the remote control on the table. “Why?Sh

SENTENCED It’s been three months since Sebastian has been in and out of court. His Lawyer Bryan knows well that Sebastian would never win the case against the government and the Al Thani’s. The biggest name in the society. He had his head bowed in the cubicle when his lawyer made the last statement. The presiding judge Albert Wilmore sat on his seat with the wig hanging stylishly on his head. An old man from the North. He is presumed to be the best and sincere judge in the entire city. “Get me out of here” he whispered to his lawyer in a very soft tone. “I am trying my best. The judge is a strict one but I will see what I can do. “What do you even mean by that? I don’t need you to try, I need you to get me out. What’s there to lie and convince the court that I didn’t do it? You can’t even lie. Shame on you”. He said and just then the judge hit the gavel to maintain order. The break was over. The judge cleared his throat. “After hearing from both parties, this honorable court

LET THEM GO The moment she saw the news she knew she had to do something to save her son. She had gone to the station to plead and try to bride David but the officers wouldn’t let her do that despite the fact that they know her too well. “I need my son out of here. No one is saying anything”, she began to cry. Just then Thomas drove in. She threw her bag on the floor and rushed to meet him. “I asked you to get your lawyers ready. David is appearing in court in a few days and there is nothing anyone will do about it. I will not let him treat my wife like that all because of envy”. Thomas was still pissed at what David did. But before he could say one more word, the old woman fell on her knees and began to plead. Everyone came out and began to look in surprise that the all mighty Lady Clara Taylor could go on her knees begging a small boy like Thomas all because she wants her son to come out of prison. At this point Thomas remembered his grandma and how she had gone to her k

CROWNED The morning after the whole incident Thomas’s assistant called in. Thomas was still in bed when his phone began to ring. “It’s too early for all the calls to start coming in”. He murmured as she reached out for the phone. Seeing Greg’s name made his heart churn a little bit. “Greg, what do we have this morning?’ he asked in a greasy voice. “Sir, you have a meeting with the Lesotho group at 9am”. His phone was calm and patient. “I will try not to be late. Put everything in other”. “Yes boss! Greg answered. They spoke on the phone for a while listing Thomas’ meetings and activities for the day after which they ended the call. Thomas got out of bed grudgingly. After the whole drama for the week he doesn’t see himself getting into any meeting or sit but he had to do it for the sake of the company. The company has to go one way or the other. Just as he got the tip of his bed a knock came on his door. He turned his head to look over. He knows his grandpa or Lucas, his co

MAVEN IS DISCHARGED Lady Victoria has never been this rude to grandma but since Grandma has decided to bite the finger that feeds her then she would have to face the dance and the music she had set for herself. Thomas left the prison that instance and he headed straight to the hospital to meet Maven. On his way he had asked Grace Maven’s assistant to watch over her while they await her discharge time. He hurried and drove the car to the hospital and when he arrived at the front gate the men he kept to safeguard the yard nodded at him. They were dressed in black suits and black face Masks different from the security men who work for the hospital. He raised up using the elevator to the fourth floor where Maven was. He waved at the nurse rashly and wafted past her like spoke ready to consume a whole bush. This was the moment he wished he could kill his enemies with his powers but that would not be very necessary at this point. He is not big enough to face David and Sebastian. Rath
