MAVEN PLEASE“Get him the mop and the bucket. He has to clean the entire restaurant to make up for his money’ Thomas said. The men grabbed Thomas at once and stripped him off his expensive suit. They pulled him out to the change room and forced him into the cleaners. “See how perfect you look. The cleaner job fits you so well, my boy. Now this is a lesson I want to teach you. Be kind to people no matter their family background or class, you are no better.”“You criminal, you have stolen the Al Thani name and I shall report you to the MD himself”.“Well, that man happens to be my grandfather and unlike you I do not boast of what I do not have. You have been parading yourself as Man’s savior and the benefactor of the Taylor for quite a long time and I have decided to silent you forever. “You see that car everyone thinks you got it for Maven, I did and that tender you claimed you helped her gain was all my manipulation. When I heard all your stupid empty promises I decided to play alon
I AM PAINED Maven walked into the house looking like a beaten dog. Lady Victoria had just finished a freshly made meal and in her hand was a glass of chilled freshly made juice.What's with the frown? Did anyone offend you?” She asked while watching Maven match into the li ring with both shoes in her hand.“You look like you saw a ghost and I am talking to you Maven who made you so upset that you don't even want to speak with me?” Victoria became very much concerned with her daughter's new attitude.“You caused it mom. I told you I didn't want to but you forced me into it. And now look at the embarrassment you made me face in public. I am on the blogs and on every damn social media platform as the fiancee of a man who claims to be wealthy yet could afford to pay for his meal at the town's central cafe. Isn't that crazy? I bet you like the new title I have been given”. Maven sparked like a tiny ray of light in a dark room“What the heck are you talking about? I asked you to go out on
ALONEThomas went back home frustrated and angered. “She doesn't want to speak with me.” said the moment he walked into the house and saw his grandpa at the dinner table with Lucas. “You should come have a good meal before thinking about a woman who doesn't want to speak with you. I promise you son after this meal she will come back to you” Grandpa spoke with ease and poise. He had a smile on his face and continued to eat his food.“Grandpa. You think so?” Thomas asked “I know so, I have mingled with women for too long to know how they are wired. Look son? The lady loves you, know that but at this point you have to give her some time. Space out a bit and she would come looking for you.” Grandpa said forgetting that his time was different from the present days.Thomas sat down and waited for the chef to serve his food.“You look like you have seen a ghost. This woman must be really precious to you”. Lucas observed his brother with a close eye. Thomas winked and smiled at the same t
REVEALEDWhen Sabastian finished cleaning the entire hall was almost empty. He looked round the hall as sweat dripped from his neck down to his back and from his forehead to his chin. His white inner shirt soaked with sweat after the long work. He looked over at Snipper and Spider who were busy by the side of the cafe with the chess game. A bottle of Hennessy on one side along with some cookies to munch while they look out for Sabastian to finish his goddamn job.“I am done,” he said without remorse. A hint of pride and arrogance hung in his words as he spoke to them. Snipper and Spider traced their eyes to him and laughed out heavily. “You are done—what? It seems you weren't raised with some sort of respect for anyone. Huh. Maybe will teach you how to speak to other humans nicely” Sniper was about to stand from his seat when Spider asked him to sit. “Forget about the spoiled fool. He would pee pants if you take any step closer to him. Give him his keys and we don't want to see yo
CALL A DOCTOR Maven ran to her mother's room.Lady Victoria jumped out of bed. Her heart almost fell out of her mouth.‘What is the problem with you? Why are you running?Is the house on fire?”Lady Victoria asked with curiosity. Her heart was pumping so fast with the way Maven pushed the door.“I know who got me the car now”. Maven said with excitement in her tone“You do? Has he called yet? We should make dinner for him tomorrow or what do you think?”.“Thomas—”I do not want to hear that name. He is a fool and I don't want to see him here. We have a chef now and we will do with what we have. Thomas can not make one more meal in this house. I almost died from his filthy and insipid cooking. She spoke to Maven like it truly happened.Maven shrugged her shoulders “I can't remember all that but I really think Thomas got me that car mom”. She let the words fall out of her mouth. Lady Victoria cackled. Don't be a silly Maven. The same Thomas that was here? Or another Thomas. “Thomas Mi
MAVEN HAS GONE MADWhen grandma noticed Maven's absence from the meeting the next morning she knew something was wrong. “How could she abandon everything like that after everything we have Newman through to get this project done.” She scowled angrily pacing the room to and fro.“I told she is incompetent but you don't see anything wrong with her nonchalant attire”. Patrick said the words with spite. But grandma quickly shot him out like a plague threatening to enter a city with armed soldiers.“Shut your trap. You did worse in less than four months and you dare to call Maven incompetent? This was the very first time grandma would be taking sides with Maven.“I shall not have to speak about Maven in such a way”. Grandma scolded with a frown on her face. ‘I only wanted to—”“Shut it Patrick there's no need for all that. I need to find her or summon her here” Grandma Clara spoke with pain in her heart.“She giant taking my calls I called her several times to no avail”. Patrick said
SHAME ON YOUThomas looked at his wrist watch. The latest romford brand. He took a deep breath and consciously walked the spacious office back and forth.What in heaven's name is going on here? We are supposed to have a meeting with the Taylor's and none of them has shown up yet.”Thomas checked his watch again as he spoke to meet his assistant James standing behind him.“Situation report James”. He spoke in a very cold tone and scanned his facial expression with his eyes.“Well, I don't think the Taylor's would come, especially the young Ms. Taylor. I heard he has some strange illness and can not be here for the meeting”. The PA announced.“That's a big fat lie James.You can't tell me Maven is sick when I haven't gotten any signal here” Thomas spoke. “What do you mean sir? James asked him with a look of confusion in his face.“Well, it's what I was told,”James answered calmly. Thomas began to panic. His necklace blinked and he got the signal. “I think she is just stressed but she w
ANOTHER MOVE“What do we tell mom, that’s what should be on your mind at this moment Derrick. Get that rude boy out of your head. We haven’t done anything since opening and we left other stuff behind because we want to try our chances just to make our mother see how truly ‘worthy’ we are”. Patrick let the words fall out of his mouth in anger. He just cannot imagine that the boss of the Al Thani group who had asked them to come suddenly changed his mind from seeing themes planned. This was a slap to their faces.“I heard his grandson is in charge now, the boy doesn’t have respect for elders and business associates. I mean look how he just made us look like fools before his staff. I feel so ashamed to have showed up here with you in the first place.“There is never a time you want to come with me, but you would eat the money once it drops in your debt infested account “Patrick scowled and went on to slam the car door after entering the front sit. He started the car and drove out of the
