A LOST DEAL“Maven was parked perfectly in front of the Al Thani group at exactly 9:30; her meeting with the tender organizers at the firm was scheduled to kick off at exactly 10 a.m., which Grace made sure she didn’t miss. Grace sat beside her in the car, and she pulled up in front of the Al Thani group tower. Maven knew that she had a lot to fight for before the day was over.Perhaps she could get the chance to win this, but with the way she had stood so tensed before the panel the last time she was here She took a deep breath and smiled to herself. She pulled the mirror down and spoke some words of affirmation to herself.“Come on, Maven, you can do this. You are smart, and you can handle everything no matter how it comes." She puffed out air a few times and then turned to Grace, who was comfortable watching her say a few self-affirmation words.“Let us go in; I think I am ready to do it.”“Are you sure about that, ma’am?” She asked Maben, and Maven nodded her head in response.

A DINNER WITH HIMMaven had a worrisome look since she could not get out of the Al Thani tower. Despite the fact that Grace, her assistant, has tried to make her feel less guilty for what happened, Maven cannot get her mind off the mockery and scolding that await her when Grandma Clara finally finds out she has lost the tender deal to a less popular company. She held one hand on her chin as she drove through the city. "Ma'am, you need to calm down. At least you tried. Not everyone in your position will do all that you have done for the company, and if this doesn’t pull through, then we can look out for some other deals that would fit. Grandma will understand." Grace came to her own conclusion, which only made Maven laugh because she knows her grandma and her uncles too well to even let a word Grace was saying sink in her mind. 'Well, that is your own conclusion. Grace. I know these people too well; I know what they can do to me and what they have planned out to do if I fail, and I

SAY ALL YOU WANTThe next day came running as fast as it should, and Maven had still not agreed with the idea of having to invite Sabastian to their home, all because he helped her bag the deal at the Al Thani’s. She hated his guts and wondered why everything about him was so loud that everyone in the city would know he had helped you out with something."Maven, you need to be ready in five minutes; we do not want Grandma to rain insults on us again." Thomas told Maven, who was almost half dressed.“That is not the point, Thomas. I hate having to share my space with that proud peacock. My father this, my father that. I am so fed up hearing all of that bullshit." She rolled her eyes as she went on with her make-up.“I do not think all of this is necessary. He helped me, and that’s fine. Why are grandma and my mom making a big deal out of it? She complained and fanned her hand in the air. "Maven, do as Grandma has said, we do not want her wrath, remember?” Thomas reminded her of how

QUIT YOUR JOB!Maven sat there and listened to all Grandma had to say. She knew she could not deal with all the trauma Grandma had to dish out, so she held her cool. She ate her food in silence and sometimes flashed a fake smile at Sabastian, who was busy with his meal and enjoying all that Grandma Clara was doing to Thomas. He cackled, and each sound he made from his mouth birthed a bitter bile in Maven's stomach.“I hate his guts." She spoke to herself and continued to eat.“Well. Thank you very much, Ma Clara. I would love to take my leave now. Sabastian announced like he had just won a trophy. "Maven, you should walk him off to his car; a good wife would make her man happy." Grandma added. Maven frowned and almost flared when she remembered she was sitting before the only woman she feared so much. She faked another smile and got up, while in her heart she was dying silently. “Thanks everyone,” Sabastian said and got up. Maven followed him until they got out of the building.“So

A REUNION Thomas was busy with the laundry when his phone began to ring. It was on a Saturday, and all he could do to help at the time was do the laundry since he was going to have a very long week ahead. He knows that Lady Victoria would rather go on a nail date than have a meal made in the house. He carefully placed each cloth in the machine and did exactly as Maven had taught him some months ago. He whistled and went on with his job happily. He had nothing to worry about except that he needed to finish on time. The moment he was done rinsing the clothes, he took them to the laundry room and spread them on the line with a cloth peck, holding each of them from dropping to the ground.While he was busy, his phone began to buzz. Meanwhile, the night before he had gone to Grandma Clara’s house with Maven and he didn’t like the house, she left angry all because of Sabastian. He has always known Sabastian to be a mischievous fellow, and so seeing him act and speak the way he does with

YOU ARE FIREDMaven decided to go meet her grandma about the situation. Her uncles have been on her neck asking her to resign her position. She had tried to speak with grandma over the phone and nothing reasonable was given to her in response. At 9am she was already at grandma’s house to know her fate and to confirm if her uncles were just lying or telling the truth because she knows that grandma would not hesitate to throw her out of the seat if she wasn’t actually doing well. “Good morning grandma”. Maven greeted the moment grandma appeared in the living room.“What are you doing here Maven?” Grandma asked with heaviness in her tone. She didn’t even bother to look at Maven twice. She took her seat and focused on the magazine she was holding.“Why are you staring like you’ve seen a ghost? If you have nothing to say you can leave. I was quite busy before your arrival” grandma said to Maven without remorse. Maven has always known that grandma doesn’t like her but the words that came o

I AM DONEMaven couldn't even believe that her Grandma would do a thing like that to her. As she laid in bed and Thomas tried all he could to make her feel better before leaving the room. She had told her mom that she'd be needing a whole lot of space which means her mom could no longer speak to her at least for the moment until she is able to clear her head and understand what Grandma was trying to do with her boys. There was no time to regret any of her actions as they were the best she could come up with so the so-called Sabastian Garcia and his rude family can leave her the hell alone.“Well I am not going to let you be Maven. You have made a grave mistake and we are falling now see, grandma has now used this cursed marriage against us. How are we even going to survive these tumultuous times?” This time Victoria isn't really concerned about Maven but fears she would not be able to foot her luxurious life since all of the incentives and paycheck won't be coming in again.“I told

GIVE US THE CARThomas was in the kitchen the night he heard the loud bang on the door. Who could that be at this time of the night?” He questioned as he rinsed the leather off his hands and picked up the red napkin clothed in the dishwasher. Lady Victoria was seated in the living room, but as usual, she would never get up to see who was at the door except she was the only one at home. She even had a pack of juice by her side and the potato chips Thomas had made for her about thirty minutes ago. She had declined dinner and says she only wants to take the snack to bed.“Get the door fast, moron." She muttered as she chewed. Thomas ignores her saucy attitude because he knows that on a good day she will come begging and pleading at his feet. If not for the fact that Grandpa had instructed him to pipe low, all of this would not be happening. He swayed his shoulders from side to side and wiped his hands with the towel before gripping the door knob.“Who is it?” He asked, and just as the

THE INSTALLMENT The day of the great ceremony everyone was skeptical about had finally come. Maven and her family now lived in peace. 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.

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.

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
