I HAD TO DO IT Grandma had gone to Maven’s house the previous night to plead for her to help. Maven has not been herself since the day she found out her relationship with Thomas has been built on lies. She told grandma that Thomas was the grandson of the great Rufus Al Thani but grandma doesn’t believe her so she stopped trying to prove a point. “Grandma doesn’t know how difficult it is to face him when he is in his domineering mood.” Maven complained to her mother as she aged to get herself dressed for the meeting. “There is even no need to send them mail to inform them about my arrival. I do not need to have anything to do with Thomas for now”. She said the words with a heavy heart. “Are you sure he is the one? Remember you said you were a little bit tired when you went out with Sebastian. “I know what I saw mom and I am telling that Thomas is an Al Thani, he had the family band on his wrist and that is enough evidence’ “Well, I don’t want to believe you until I see things for

TERMS AND CONDITIONS Mavens eyes widened the moment she heard him say terms and conditions.That's insane, she knows the terms and conditions would definitely soothe her family and the company so for now she didn't have anything to fear until he asked. “Don't give me that look Ms. Taylor or should I refer to you as Mrs. Thomas Al Thani” Thomas teased her in a way that her legs began to tremble under the table. She cursed and muttered under her breath. Now she can only wish uncle Patrick and uncle Derrick were here to face the heat with her. She held the papers close to herself, inside her suit was sweat forming beads and trailing down her back. She has thought it would be very easy to sign the damn documents and leave but reverse seems to be the case here as every passing moment grew out with difficulty. She puffed out hot air as everyone began to leave the room. “Let me have that Ms. Taylor”. Thomas said and grabbed the document from her even before she could stutter a word fr

SO GRANDMA CAN BE SWEET!Maven walked straight into grandma’s house. The document she had signed is going to make grandma give her some credit at least. She strapped it to her arm and hurried into the mansion. Grandma Clara was seated with a glass of wine in her hand and some cookies on a plate.“Hey Maven, you good?” Grandma asked with a smile on her face.“’I am fine grandma Maven answered with a suspicious look in her eyes, she still doesn’t understand why her grandmother had that mischievous smile stacked to her face like she had just won a lottery.“Well, I have signed the deal but there is a condition attached to it”. Maven announced to her mother. Looking away.Grandma Clara’s brows curved with interest.“A condition? What kind of conditions are that?” Grandma Clara asked with her nose raised in the air.“Well, the condition is I have to attend every meeting and fix myself else we would pay a seventy percent fine’. Maven informed grandma sharply.“Then you have to do as you hav

A TRICK Maven knows that talking to Thomas at this time was simply just a very wrong idea. She took grandma’s words as just a way of having her think she had changed. With the strange chime on the doorbell Maven looked at grandma and then back to her drink. “That should be your uncle and his son”. MA Clara declared and just then the maid rushed to the door and opened to reveal Uncle Patrick, Uncle Damon and David Maven rolled her eyes unconsciously before they reached the living room. The three musketeers are the reason grandma has been treating her badly all these while. She smacked her lip and now that she knows she has defeated them she raised her shoulders and crossed her legs comfortably on the seat. “Oh look who we have here. She has come to report herself on the simple task that she could not do for the family yet she has the effrontery to cross her legs like she can actually buy the whole house. “You must be respectful David’. Grandma shunned him for once on Mavens defe

A GOOD MATCHMaven turned to face him stunt and broad shouldered full of pride and arrogance.“Stop you pathetic peacock”. He said to Maven with anger written all over his face.“David, do you have a problem?” Maven asked, looking at him with a sly smile forming at the corner of her cheek. “You think you are now the hero. You think you can sweep us off from grandma’s love huh?”.“What the heck are you talking about? I have done nothing but work hard to gain grandma’s love.” Maven spoke with ease, her eyes fixed on him. “We can have a deal if you want”. David said.“Well, I don’t have anything to say to you. All I have to say is I am not interested, I have loads of work to do and I would advise you to watch your tone when speaking to me”. She spoke to him with her finger pointed at him.'Maven I shall make you miserable if you do not do as I want’. David threatened.“Well, I am not doing as you say and go to hell else I shall report you to grandma for trespassing”. Maven threatened u

A GOOD SURPRISE Maven turned off the blaring alarm quickly. She sighed heavily in disgust. “What the hell is wrong with me? Why are y suddenly tired of going to work”. She told herself and managed to slip out of bed with grudges. She rushed over to the laptop she had kept on her reading table with her hands on her waist like a pregnant hen. “Come Maven you can do this”. She said to herself and brushed her hair behind her ears. She went on to check her mail for any information she could attend to before going to have her bathe. “Maven you will be late for work”. Lady Victoria came knocking on the door. Maven grumbled the words. “Come in”. Maven called out in a slow voice but Lady Victoria didn’t wait to hear that part before pushing the door open. “What are you doing Maven, you're gonna be late for work and you know full well that Grandma doesn’t quite like it when you go late’. “Grandma knows how hard I work now so she doesn’t mind if I come late or stay at home”.

I LOST MY WAY Maven walked out of the office with happiness. This has to be the best day of her life after all the saga she has been through in the last months with her family and Al Thani’s. This contract is just like compensation for the days she had cried herself to sleep. “Hello Thomas,, we need to talk." Maven spoke into the phone after dialing Thomas’ line. Just within a few minutes,she got the response she had been waiting for. “Let’s meet at Dé Moon Lounge." The message came in as a shock. She had not thought that it would be quick since she had tried to reach him and he didn’t pick up. Sheshrugged, and with one hand on the steering she drove off to meet Thomas. Maven isn’t quite sure of the direction, so she turned on her G****e Map to help her, getting to a point where she missed her way and just then Thomas’ call came in. She stopped the car just to take the call. “You are taking so long to get here;is there a problem?” He asked her over the phone in a very calm and so

A MEETING“I decided to be here”. Maven responded the waiter arrived with a glass of wine for her.“You can have your drink,” Thomas told her. She quickly grabbed her drink and sipped a bit from it. “So what else are you hiding from me?” Maven asked with a glare in her eyes.“Well, I did all that because I wanted to know more about you and about your family. I was never rich though”. He responded truthfully.“That’s not true. Who is the old woman you said you needed money to save?” Maven asked him with a quizzical look in her eyes.“My grandma, Ma Elizabeth is a great woman, I grew up with her, she groomed me into the man I am today and then I got to meet my grandpa nay a few months ago. I never knew I had so much wealth waiting for me until they showed up at the police station where I was locked and detained unlawfully.” Thomas answered her. He grabbed the remaining drink on the table and took it slowly to his mouth.“So, how do you feel being at the top of your game?” Thomas asked

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
