A PLEA“Urgh! It's actually a Lamborghini not a Ferrari. You should know your car brands David. Maybe you need lessons on it I could teach you”. Maven answered him in a mocking tone and all she earned from him for that rude correction was a poisonous glare.“Look whatever!. Dad, I have longed for a Lambo and looked where it's parked. Who owns it? I know Maven can never afford this car and not even that wretched husband of hers can afford the car of my dreams.” He scowled the venomous words at her but she didn't react in her usual way. She knew that this time she had bitten all of them in a tight spot and bantering words with him was only going to make her become as bitter as he is.“Well I guess my husband and I now have at least one car to our name that doesn't belong to the Taylor family or even the Company. So gentle men, how may I be of help to you this sunny afternoon?” She asked them as she trailed her hand gently on the surface of the car. The chassis fluttered like black di
A FIERCE FIGHT“I do not want to be a part of this mirage. How am I even sure that this is not some sort of set up just to get me to do what I am not supposed to do so you all can get rid of me once and for all”. She said in a very loud tone.“Come on Maven, don't be ridiculous. No one has any plans to get rid of you. You are family for crying out loud. All we need is your help on this one time and that’s it. You get your share and your inheritance and everyone is happy’. Derrick said calmly. While wiping the cookie crumbs off his fingers with the serviette Maven had placed on the table. “Does grandma know about this plan? Because she asked you to fire me, why do I have to come in at every single point?’ she asked in a confused voice and blinked back the tears forming in her eyes.“Look grandma is only looking out for the company and the best thing to do is to let you go”. Patrick said.“Really?” Maven shouted.“That came out wrongly and I am sorry. Please do this one time for us and
YOU HUSBAND IS IN PRISONThomas was still at home when a knock came on the door.“Are you expecting anyone?” He asked Maven as he served some of the rice he had made into a small plate for her.“No. Not really”. Maven answered and ignored the door but the doorbell came chiming in the house again. This time it was loud and resonating. Thomas was pissed by the way the person outside was playing with the sound so he rushed out murmuring a few inaudible words to himself. He stormed out to open the door and the moment he saw the men dressed in black he paused on his track. “Good day officer, how may I be of help to you?” He asked them and just then he saw grandma's car pull up on the other side opposite the house.“That's the moron that harassed my son. I want him jailed and rotten in prison”. She screamed at the officers.“Mr. Thomas Miller you are under arrest”. One of the cops spoke to him.“For what exactly. Thomas put his hand on his waist and stared blankly at them.“For assault. Y
NO ONE CAN SAVE YOUR HUSBANDMaven drove back home in tears. She doesn’t know what else to do at this point because no one can release Thomas from prison except for her grandma who had put him there in the first place. She drove the car crazily hurrying back home to probably cry out her eyes in her room in the comfort of her pillows. But she thought about calling Sabastian to help her. Maybe his father could make a few calls for Tomas to be out in no time. After thoroughly thinking through she shook her head. Sabastian was on grandma’s side too and if he ever gets to find out that Thomas was arrested he would make sure he doubles the jail term for Thomas and that is not what she wants right now. She held the steering tight with one hand and began to hit it hard with the other hand. She got to a traffic stop and waited just like the other normal passengers would but when the waiting was getting too long she paved an illegal way for herself to pass through.She drove with so much seed
ANOTHER FIGHT The following week Thomas knew he had a lot to do fighting for his position as the heir to all the fortune and wealth left for him by his grandfather. Even though Pa Al Thani is still alive he has everything signed in Thomas’ name. He had given Thomas the ultimatum and the ball is now in his court whether or not he needs to make the old man proud. His phone rang in his pocket as he was about to leave the house and he answered quickly. “Hello sir. I will be with you shortly”. He spoke in a hushed tone before leaving the house. With his rugged hoodie he strolled out of the estate and just a few blocks away the car was waiting for him. A black SUV. Thomas got into the car and sat at the back with Sir Larry. “You tried to meet up with your time today”. He said with a little smile gracing the corner of his mouth. “Yes sir. I did my best so I don't miss out”. Thoms replied. “Well, that's good. Today is your second day. Stage two of the fight and I trust you have done qu
THE BIG PLANMeanwhile at the Taylor's company there is a big chaos. No one knew what was happening. They had successfully made Maven agree to follow them and since it was her grandmother's order she had to obey without thinking.The day Thomas came out of prison Maven marveled because he didn't even spend up to two hours there. When she asked him he told her the mayor didn't find him guilty of any of those allegations and so he was miraculously released. Victoria wasn't happy that he came back to her house yet she had no option but to let him stay since he does most of the chores in the house without even complaining. Meanwhile the morning before he left for his fight he didn't bother to check up on Maven because he knew that she would be fine with uncles at the Al Thani tower. And here she was sitting in her incles car while he drove her to the tower to sign the document. She didn't say a single word to him because she knew Thomas was out of the prison she feared he would rot in.
I CAN MAKE YOU FOODMaven is skeptical about the call. So she left it to ring for a while. She looked at it and then sighed before picking up.“Hello grandma”. Maven spoke into the phone.“Yes. Maven I was wondering if you could send me a list of all the investors we have in the company”. Grandma said.“I'm sorry granny. I am no longer the one in charge. Call David I think he has the answer you are looking for”. Maven told her Grandma plainly. “Well, it's fine”. Grandma said and ended the call abruptly. Maven walked up to her room and slammed the door. For some reason she had internal joy at what happened at the Al Thani tower earlier. She smiled to herself and laughed at the humiliation her uncles received.“Why was he angry though?” She spoke to herself loud enough for anyone who was in the room to hear. “Why was he angry?” The door creaked open and Thomas walked in.“Whoa! You should learn to knock "What if I was naked?”. Maven asked“Aren't you my wife any more?” Thomas asked j
A THREATUnder the scorching midday sun, the car fired up, and with an outburst of speed, it ripped away from the complex. Wavering in the daylight, the vehicle flawlessly met into the progression of road traffic on the highway.The distant buzz of the engine continuously fuzzed as the vehicle embraced the open street, a glaring contrast to the clamoring daytime atmosphere vastness of the open street.The tall building lined up on the left and right of the street with their shadows casting a unique pattern on the pavement. Cars zip by in a rhythmic flow, honking occasionally in the hustle of city life.They arrived at Victoria's mini mansion in about fifteen minutes. When they got out of the car. The men stood behind the car thinking through what they are about to do."I have doubts if she's home at this time". Mr. Patrick said before quickly adjusting his suit. Then suddenly his eyes caught the Ferrari parked there."I hate her for having that car, look at it?" He pointed to the car
