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
A MEETING WITH THE GOVERNOR “Maven is not in the mood to speak to any one and I would suggest you wait till she is ready. At the moment we would see how we can get things replaced and find those responsible for this problem. “Thomas told the pressmen and women. Maven watched him from the car. “He is such a gentle man” she said and Grace turned over to look at her. “He is selfless and I think he likes you beyond that paper barricade you two have given yourselves” Grace knew about the contract marriage because Maven had told her. “Can you just keep quiet for once? This is not the time” Maven said to her and rolled her eyes. She looked out at Thomas and when she saw him coming back to the car she adjusted herself. “Let’s go. I told them you are not in the mood to speak to anyone at the moment”. He said to me “Oh that’s really cool. Thank you and Grace here thinks you are very thoughtful”. I lied to him. Oh really? He turned to face her at the back. “Thank you,” he answered, smili
I BELIEVE YOU MAVEN Maven went home looking pissed and pained. By the time she stopped by her house to find her car carefully and neatly parked at her garage she was happy. ‘Thank you Thomas”. She said to him as she looked over at the car. “For what?’ Thomas asked her. “For help. I couldn’t have done half of what you did for me today if I was left alone to do it” Maven said top him in a very sincere tone. This has always been a burden to her but now that she has him in her life a couple of things would be handled before she could catch them. “Take care”. She told him and got out of the car. Maven went to their car and examined it a bit before going into his house. “Hello mom”. “Hello Maven, are you back? What happened to the car?” She asked. “Failed brakes I guess”. “You guess, lady you didn’t even know what happened.” Lady Victoria said to her. “Yes mom, the brakes failed, Grace and I almost fell into a dish but thankfully we didn’t. Thomas came through for us”. Maven said
BAD NEWSMaven knew that someone was trying to play smart with her but who? She just couldn’t get to know who would want to dent her reputation and that of the company so bad. She held the remote firm in her hand and waited for the TV to load.“This is fucking crazy” she said. Just as the TV was loading Grace rushed into the office, Maven turned to face her.“Ma’am have you seen the news? The engineers sent to the site have been…”“Shhh! I need to hear from the reporters what exactly is happening” Maven said, raising her hand to dismiss Grace’s speech. “Okay”. Grace mouthed with her eyes facing down. Now she was beginning to feel pity for her boss. They had spent a lot to get here and the main Architect and the engineer had been abducted. They both stood listening to the reporter say the news the way it is.“This is bullshit but who? Who could be this wicked to do a thing like that”. Grace asked while still standing with her boss.“I have no freeing idea Grace. The telephone on Maven
LET'S WAITMaven headed straight to meet with Thomas at his residence. The car pulled up in the large yard. This was Maven’s very first time to be hosted at the Al Thani’s residence and for a moment her heart began to tingle a mixture of hope and fear of being accepted by Grandpa Rufus Al Thani. As a matter of fact she hopes that he wouldn’t be home at this time, Remember that Thomas had just returned from his trip with Lucas and they will definitely be off work for a day or two so they can rest and see how things go at the firm. This had always been the ritual with the Al Thani’s and Thomas was somehow liking the process.“I am outside your house”. Maven said over the phone as she parked the car properly to enable her to drive off easily since she sucks at turning and reversing at times.“The chef would come pick you outside’. Thomas said over the phone and that instance the door opened. An elderly lady of about late forties or fifties came out of the house. She was dressed in her c
