CAUGHTTricia rushed out of the room and headed straight for the corridor. Her heart swelled with pain and fear as she rushed out to search for his car. Damn bastard”. She spoke and rushed back into the room to grab her bag. Things he suddenly remembered: she can't go to the governor with the bad news. She placed her room back and forth.“I think I need to tell the governor before it's too late”. She thought as she bit her lower lip thinking and hoping she would wake up from the dream.Wake up Tricia. This has got to be a joke” she mutters to herself. She is in really deep trouble and the governor could get her locked up if she isn't careful. How was she going to get that bastard and that check?She thought of going to the bank or to the airport but changed her mind. She quickly grabbed her bag and went for the later. There was no way he would have picked up the money in such a fast time. She hurried out of the lodge and flagged a taxi.She hopped in and told the driver where she was
I AM THOMAS AL THANIThe things drove as fast as the could with Tricia laying at the back. Her mouth plastered with tapes. She had managed to recover consciousness as the car continued in motion. Then they suddenly stopped at the hotel Thomad stayed. They climbed to the second floor and headed straight to his room. They know he as been hiding there since after the incident and the informant gave them the information that Thomas was still in the room. He saw them coming from the Balcony and smiled. The men rushed in thudding their feet against the ground as they walked hurriedly. “Hurry up” Their leader spoke and matched on. The moment they got to the door. They broke in unannounced. The bedroom was empty. “Where the hell did he go?” The thug leader frowned at the others as they all took turns to scan the room. Their informant was sure Thomas was in that room and now what? Had he just disappeared without any trace? They stood with lots of unanswered questions in their hearts.“Sear
CHASED OUTThe governor’s thugs drove the car as fast as they could till they got to a very lonely road. “Get out of the car,” their leader yelled at Tricia.“The governor has asked us to let you go free without paying back the money you carelessly threw away. You know you are very lucky the governor is in a very good mood and this is your lucky day”. The man said.“Should I go?” Tricia asked in a very scared tone, She looked around and there was no single house or cars she could shield herself from. At this point she sensed there was trouble but all she had to do it’s obey their others to save her life.“Run Tricia. You are free, you can run back to the city from here, it's not as far as you think it is”. One of the men said to her. Tricia let them take off the rope on her hand and began to run as fast as her legs could carry her. The men let her run for a good distance and just when she believed she was finally saved, they drove towards her with seed while she put in all her best
A HUGE LOSS“Mom, that was too harsh. We shouldn't have chased him away. What if he gets killed by those governor's thugs?” Maven asked her mother while she gave her a skeptical look.Maven the idiot is old enough and man enough to take care of himself” Lady Victoria answered deviantly without thinking. She held her hand in her head and sighed. Maybe she would go look for Thomas later but for now she would stay away. Since her mother doesn't want to see Thomas she would stay away for a while.She laid in bed and slept off. By morning she got up and rushed off to work. Grandma was already seated in her chair when she walked in.“Maven you are so fond of coming late to walk. I have thought you changed when we gave you a break. You really didn't change. You still have the effrontery to show up here late despite the fact that we are trying to build this company back. Sheooked at her Grandma soberly. She was tired and stressed from all that happened the previous day. “I hear your husband
SHE IS MINE TO PROTECTMaven has thought about all the options and yet couldn't come up with some reasonable ones. She packed her office back and forth with the tip of her pen in mouth. “Damn! How on earth would they bar me from accessing the company?” She questioned and wondered through all the options she had. “Yes! That's exactly what I would do”.She said and grabbed her handbag and her car keys. She raced out, hitting Grace on the shoulder.“I am sorry Ma'am”.Grace bent over to pick up the files that had fallen off her hand. “Ma'am I need you to see this. A meeting has been fixed by DetroX solutions tomorrow”.Grace spoke the words as she raced after her boss who only had limited time to listen.“What meeting?I didn't schedule any meeting with them Grace” Maven managed to answer as she strolled out hastily.Then she suddenly paused to have a rethink.What's going on Grace?did you fix any meeting without first letting me know about it?”she queried her tone changing quickly and her
ENOUGH IS ENOUGHThomas took Maven upstairs and laid her on the bed. He quickly took off her shoes and covered her with the duvet. He had always had a liking for Maven right from the first night he had met her at the bar drunk. This night brought a lot of memories to his heart as he sat by her side. He pushed off the long hair covering her face and smiled as he watched her sleep peacefully.Just at that moment the door creaked open and Lady Victoria stood by the door.“What did you say happened to her?” She asked like Thomas was supposed to know the reason she got herself drunk.“How would I know ma’am? I have no damn idea, I think she is frustrated from work” Thomas answered calmly. From the corner of his eyes he could see Lady Victoria scanning him like he had come into her home to steal, meanwhile the reverse was the case. Thomas smiled wryly and got up to his feet. I guess I have to leave, I am still not welcome here”. He mouthed.“Well, I think you should because you have no damn
AN UNWANTED INVITEWhen Maven woke up from sleep. She decided to go invite Thomas over to the house at least to thank him for looking out for her. Lady Victoria wouldn't have approved of it if she was home. But since she had gone out for her pedicure and hair do, Maven picked it as the best time to do what she had to do.He came in a moment ago. Seating in the living room like a total stranger. “Hey” she called out when she stopped by the stairs. Come on, we need to talk up the stairs. She told him. “The maid will bring your food to the room. I know it's against the tradition of this house but will have to do it that way."I am so confused Thomas, I don't know what to do, '' Maven complained bitterlyThomas smiled while studying her face for a while; he knows she's the mewler. She could break down at the slightest opportunity she gets. Thomas held Maven's hand and helped her up to her feet. He stood in front of her. "You worry too much Maven and like I will always tell you everythin
AN AWKWARD MOMENT Maven woke up with a jolt, eyes staring at the alarm clock. It was exactly 6:00 a.m., as usual. Maven didn't have to look at the clock to know it was time for her to wake up for the day. She would always get the urge to wake up once it's 6 a.m and this has always been exact and accurate, except on weekends when she deliberately decides to sleep in bed for a while.She pushed the comforter off her body and slid out of bed. She laid the pillows perfectly aligned and carefully on the bed, the shelves pulled tight, and her pink comforter was folded just the right way. Maven gave herself a firm nod when she saw she had done the job perfectly this time.She scurried over to my bathroom for the next to get a good wash as it was a necessary part of her morning ritual. She could never miss it; she brushed my teeth, washed my face, and showered afterwards. She quickly looked out for her outfit, the same one she had put together the previous night and got quickly dressed
