CAUGHT IN THE ACT Maven strolled into the house. The living room was well decorated with lights and roses. The entire house smelled of sweet rose and musk. “Your house smells nice”. She said to him with a smile. “I had to do it all for you my love” he said and then went on to wine ware to get the most expensive wine. “We need to be in the mood” he said as he walked to get it. He turned the wine into a glass and gave her one. “Thank you” “So did your rich boyfriend dump you?” he asked her with a grin waiting for her response. “He is not my boyfriend. It’s you I want Sebastian” she said to him sipping the wine he had just brought, Sebastian took a sip and then winked unbelievably at her. He still doesn’t seem to understand why she had chosen a date with him at such short notice. He has his own plans to do what he wants yet he was going to wait for the perfect time. “You what me yet you chose him over me the other day”. He reminded her. “I didn’t choose him, grandma
MAVEN IN THE HOSPITAL The car parked right in front of the hospital, Officer Josh got out immediately to help Maven out of the car. “Cone ma’am let me have your hand”. He said and the maven responded with a weak hand stretching at him. He grabs her hand and helps her out of the car. The nurses were already there to help. Maven was then placed on the stretcher bed and rolled into the emergency ward for treatment. It was already getting late and Maven’s mom grew worried at home. He took up her phone and dialed Mavens’ line the fort time. When there was no answer she resorted to calling Thomas at least he would give her a good reason why her daughter is not home yet. “Hello Thomas,” she said over the phone. “Is Maven with you? I haven’t even met her yet?” he asked him, Thomas hesitated before giving her a genuine response. “No she is not Ma’am she is with Sebastian last I checked”. He answered him politely. “But she said he was going out with you?” Lady Victoria lied so she c
MAVEN IS FINE NOW The moment the doctor assured Thomas and Victoria that they could see Maven, the duo ran into the ward like loose dogs. The Doctor and the detective kept smiles on their faces as they watched Thomas and Lady Victoria running off to see Maven like they were some fourth graders in a queue. “The lady is stable now, you too can go see her”. The doctor informed Officer Josh who had thought the rule was for two persons to go in at once. “Two people are already inside”. He pointed quickly. “I know, but bring her here and you are a detective so we can be a few rules for you”. The doctor said, He cleared his throat and continued. “Mr. Al Thani doesn’t even have a business here except that she is some sort of friend”. “She is his wife”. The officer reported. “Really, I never knew they were married until now”. The doctor revealed with a look of shock on his face. “Yes, we all didn’t know until sometime we did” the detective answered. Then placed a large hand on t
THE ARREST The next morning the team of officers had surrounded Mr. Patrick’s house. A knock on the door and the maid hurried to open it. She had her eyes widened at Officer Josh. “Goo-good morning officer”. She stuttered the words to him. “Good morning ma’am. I am here for David, do you know if he is in?” he asked her politely. The lady took in a deep breath and held her chest with one hand. “Oh goodness gracious! I thought you had come for me instead. “No ma’am I have no case against you. The criminal Sebastian had confessed himself that David is the architect of the kidnap, so we have come to arrest him. I have my warrant”. He answered her. “It’s a good thing someone has to stop the madness but then I think you were quite late this morning, David and his father are heading to the airport. The flight should take off at 8:30am. He is going somewhere I can remember the name”. She told him while scratching her head. “Can I search the house Ma’am?” officer Josh asked polit
I AM NOT SCARED OF YOU MA CLARA Grandma walked out of the station in shame. She had sought several ways to release David from prison but to no avail. “Move the car Karl”. She spoke to her driver angrily like he was the cause of the problem, David was dancing to the tune he thought he was creating for Maven. Now that the news has gone round town no one would accept the fact that he didn’t do it. “I shall get my son the best lawyer to defend him”. She bit her lower lip after saying the words to herself. The driver continued with the drive home. Meanwhile Thomas has all his plans out together. He got into his car and drove off to the station at full speed. When he pulled up in the large parking lot just opposite the field, he saw some prisoners walking with spades in their hands with the officials watching them on one side. Thomas smiled. Of course prisoners who are here have to work for their sins one way or the other. “You are welcome sir”. The prison officers greeted since
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
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
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
