A THREATThe next day Maven decided to hold a meeting with the team of engineers. First of all, she has her second best team in the world and this would be the very first time she would be handling such a huge project with her team and the governor would be fully involved. Grace appeared behind the door with a file in her hand. Her fitted skirt glued to her skin exposing her well curved shape.“Grace, are you sure you are comfortable in those? I mean the skirt and those shoes of yours?” Maven asked with a look of skepticism in her eyes. Of course Grace is one of those big ladies anyone one would love to hire in terms of getting things done the right way.She is very accountable and is very much proactive but sometimes tends to mess things up with her choice of clothes.“I am comfortable Ma'am” she lied and Maven could see right through her eyes that deep down her soul she was dying.“That's not what I see. I see you struggling to be fine in those shoes when in reality you fake a sm

JUST A LITTLE TEASEThomas knows why he has come back to show himself to the people that treated him badly. Nature has its own way of distributing nemesis to those who deserve them. Thomas has already made his list of those he deals with for messing with his life. At least all those new at the time have no idea who his foster grandparents are so he isn’t even afraid of anyone attacking them while he is not watching. For the records he knows Grandma Clara too well to be oblivious to her schemes. She had made her points clear from the beginning and she had demonstrated her hatred for him since the very day she met him not just by words but her actions too.Thomas smiled recalling how she had asked him to call her grandma, “the world is really crazy you know and the people in it are even crazier than we can think of”. He said the words the moment his room door opened and Lucas, his cousin, came inside.“How did the dinner go, big brother?” Lucas asked knowing Thomas had once complained o

A GOOD FIT Maven pulled up in front of the governor’s office. She has her hair fully packed to a bun on the back. She looked at the time on her wrist watch. It’s exactly 12 pm as planned by the governor’s aide. Maven had a smile on her face. Good morning Ma’am”. The lady at the reception greeted the moment Maven got into the reception hall. She knows almost all the staff at the entrance and so she has been given the preferential treatment. “Is your boss in?” she asked the secretary. She had a smile on her face as her duty demanded. Maven strolled and stopped by the front desk. “The governor is in and he has been waiting for you”. She said and handed Maven a tag on her neck. “Come with me ma’am”. She said to Maven and began to lead her to the office. “Boss has been waiting to meet you, I trust you will have a very pleasant day. “I bet”. Maven walked behind her until they got to the office. The governor’s office was a large hall bigger than Maven’s place. The secretary

THAT WILL NOT HAPPENAfter Maven asked him out of her office she took a deep breath. David and his father have not only caused her pain and misery but threatened her life the entire time. She thought about how to deal with him yet when she was done with all the evidence she had against him she decided to let go. What could be his pain point and the reason he could come boldly to her to give her such a treat? She stood by the desk drumming the tip of her fingers on it.“this is bullshit”. She said and went on to stand by the glass gallery to watch the bustling city. After she had taken her time to think through all that was happening she took a deep breath in and turned to her seat. If her father was alive just like David's father is for sure none of them would try to threaten her. She puffed air out of her and went on to do her work for the day. She thought about going to grandma's house to report David but of course she knows grandma too well that changes anything. It seems like sh

A GOOD SOLUTION Maven has decided to let the sleeping dog lie but unknown to her that all she has been fighting for would soon go down the drain if she isn’t careful with her plans. The moment she had that argument with her uncle she sighed and continued with work. About two hours later a knock came to her door. This time she isn’t scared that it might be someone coming to accuse or harass her again. David can go as far as telling grandma lies about her but she really does care at this point because she has the power as much as grandma to lay anyone she pleases off and she has come to realize that her uncles are angry because grandma has chosen her over them. “Who is?” Maven’s voice came out after the knock resounded a second time. She didn’t bother to raise her head before talking to the person.“Grace, I have told you to come in whenever you have something important to say”. Maven said while working with a pen on a paper.“And you go so busy that you don’t even want to look up at

A WICKED PLAN David woke up very early on a Friday morning. He dashed out to the kitchen in his pajamas. “Good morning mom”. He greeted his mom who was just standing close to the kitchen door. “Good morning my dear boy. You are up a bit early today”. She said to him while sipping on her cream less coffee. “I have a few errands to run mom. What’s up for breakfast?’ He asked his mother as he brushed past her to meet the Chef who was busy making the morning meal. “Omelets and what?” He asked the chef. “Good morning sir, It beacons and eggs, “The chef said without adding the other dish she was making. “Oh that's fine, I can have them”. Thomas said then opened the fridge to grab two apples and a bottle of water. “It’s almost ready, you should eat before leaving for work today”. His mother said. “Mom, you know I am not that breakfast kind of person. The fruit and water is enough for me to start with. I have to head to the gym”. He told her. “The gym? It's Friday David,

A KIDNAP“You are just despicable. All what we said here didn’t bother you. It's how to get your grandma’s heart you want? Is that why you want Maven out of the way? Why don’t you just kill her then?” Sebastian asked with disgust, handing on his tone. After they sat and did all the analysis they had to do. David decided that it was time for him to leave. He knows that his plan would work perfectly as long as he has Sabastian working with him. He has also sent a message to Logan just to let him know how things are going. Since the last humiliation he had not been himself and when he told Logan about it he returned his words with a heavy laughter.He stood by the window and watched David drive off the yard before picking up his phone to call Logan. Meanwhile Maven on the other hand has her meeting with the surveyors at the site today. She had arranged all she needed to do and then clocked in at work only to stay for a few hours before leaving since the meeting is scheduled at 12pm. Sh

BROKEN The moment Maven heard the news her heart melted. What could be happening? She asked herself several times. She hadn’t done anything to anyone to deserve such kind of treatment. She swallowed hard. She tried so hard to hold back the tears threatening to fall down from her eyes. She held her breath and blinked. Grace came into the office to meet her. “Ma’am the site is on fire and I doubt anyone can survive it” Grace said from her own observation. “I don’t know whom I may have offended but this is too much for me to handle Grace. “ She said, wiping the tears from her eyes. This is not one of those heartbreak cases when she wouldn’t want her secretary to see her cry in a very vulnerable state. She aired her emotions and cried and what Grace could do at the moment was consoled her then canceled all the meetings she had for the day. “I have canceled all the meetings for the day Ma’am and I think you should go home, I could drive you if you want” Grace offered. “I would love to

Thomas was now great and known all over the city for his good deeds. George was still in the psychiatric care hospital while his father, the former governor, has lost his position and is still in prison. Thomas has always envisioned a day like this to come but he didn’t know it was this close. After signing the deal with the Lesotho group he had emerged as a leader and the date for his installment as the healer and Martial lord in all provinces had finally come. Maven raced the hallway of her family house trying to get herself ready without missing out on anything. Today was a big day for her as well. Thomas was crowned the Master Chief of the martial arts club and as the healer of the century. She on the other hand would be receiving a recognition award for the just concluded construction contract she had handled for the government. It’s a two in o

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. This h

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
