THE DINNERMaven knew she would get a gig or at least meet some nice people who could help her get a different job in a well reputable company. Thomas was still in the kitchen making food for Lady Victoria when Maven entered.“Do you need help with the spinach?” she asked him with her eyes resting solely on the spinach displayed in a bowl before her.“Yeah, I would appreciate that”. Thomas answered her, The entire morning he has been busy with chores and this evening he decided to make a delicious meal for Lady Victoria before accompanying Maven to the dinner.“You know we have an event in the next three hours”. She reminded him. Thomas nodded and smiled at her.“I remember Maven, how can I even forget?” he stared blankly. “Well, it’s a meeting of great minds and men with all the wealth and affluence will be present. I need you to look your best so I managed to get a suit from my savings. I hope you like it though”. Maven says getting her hands busy with the onion.“Thank you so much
FIGHTING FOR HIMThe hall was filled with people when Thomas and Maven arrived. Her mouth was still poured when Thomas pulled the car into the venue.“You still upset at me cause I didn't notice your red lipstick on time? Thomas asked her as he took off the seat from his waist. Maven folds her arms across her chest and looks away.“But you never did until I asked”. She said deviantly.Thomas already knows that all of this attitude is because he didn't tell her she was beautiful when she finished dressing up. Maven is an only child and from what he gathered she was loved by her father even up till his demise and so she still hasn't grown out of the love that she received. Thomad shook his head and got out of the car. “My lady…I beg thee” he said in a playful way.Maven laughed at Thomas' attempt to speak in the old way. “You know you can't do that old English thing here right?” She told him as she gets out of the car.“Oh well, I think I should never have tried”. Thomad answered and
My day had begun with a pretty strange feeling. Even though it isn't new any longer. I am a bit overwhelmed from working far late into the night. I managed to roll outta my bed hoping I could still catch some sleep a little before it was time for service. I wouldn't miss service for anything in the world but this was definitely one of those days I don't feel like doing anything at all but lay in bed to all day long. I moved restlessly around my room picking up a few things I would be needing for the day. I have a bad habit when it comes to picking out what to wear. My closet is filled with all kinds of designer bags and shoes but I can't seem to figure out what to wear all the time. I rummaged through the closet then finally decided to go with a high waist army green skirt and a bell cropped top, then had my makeup lightly done. I left for church ********I stopped by Maven's apartment on my way from church. I honked my car in the usual fashion so She'd know I'm out her door. He
SHE FOUGHT FOR HIMYou should learn to speak to a man politely, I wonder how you were raised with such bitterness in you”. Maven cautioned Tricia.“I heard you framed him for something he didn’t do, yeah?. Is she the one?” Maven asked and Thomas nodded his head sharply. Maven took closer steps to Tricia who retreated backwards a bit, but her steps backwards didn’t save her from the third lap Maven had prepared. It landed on her face before she had the time to take one more step backwards.“This is what you get for trying to frame a married man. This man is my husband and I order you this minute to stay away from him or else you would hear from me”. Maven gave her a threat and Thomas was sure that she meant even word she spoke. “I will never trouble him again”. Tricia vowed and ran off with her hand glued to the spot Maven had slapped. “That was good, someone has learnt to fight for what is hers”. Thomas teased.“Do you have a problem with that?” he asked, staring into his eyes for a
CHAPTER 83SEEING DAD FOR THE FIRST TIMEThe loud alarm from the clock beside Thomas’s bed blared in his ears that he jumped to his feet beads of sweat formed on his skin as he sat on the bed. He puffed out air and grabbed the alarm clock with his large hands then he turned off the alarm and tossed it to one side of the bed. He pulled the comforter over his head and laid back in bed.Suddenly remembering he has where to be at the moment, he jumped out of his bed with full force.“F**k! Shit! He exclaimed as he rushed into the bathroom to wash his mouth. There was no need and no time to get a shower so he grabbed his Pants sliding his legs into it and then he grabbed his shirt. He rushed out of the house as he tried to weave the shirt over his head. “Good morning Lady Victoria”. Thomas greeted as he rushed out from the living room. She was shocked to see him hurrying and so she looked at him with blank eyes and all that could come out of her mouth was the meal she would be having for
GIVE ME THE CROWNBy the time Thomas was done from his trance he lay weak on the ground confused and exhausted from all his father's ghost had told him.“Are you still alive?” Sir Larry asked as he stood at Thomas' head side looking down into his face.“I am fine” Thomas managed to answer and then he got up to a sitting position and began to pant. “I saw him for the very first time”. Thomas revealed.“I know you did. That is the reason I brought you here so you can have a little chat with the man who had birthed you. I am glad he was willing to show up at your summon”.“I didn't summon him Uncle,” Thomas said to Sir Larry.“Well, you did, my boy. You summoned his ghost the moment you touched that gold spiral in that black magic book” Sir Larry" and began to laugh because he never told Thomas all of these things. Thomas narrowed his eyes and looked at sir Larry with seriousness. “Why didn't you tell me? I wasn't prepared for this”. Thomas spoke with his eyes glittering like the sun.
NO WOUNDSThomas managed to stagger home after the fight with the men. He has always known that someone would come for the medal and the herb so he never bothered to take them to Maven’s house since he knows there would be no privacy. Maven is a very inquisitive soul and if she gets to find out anything like that in his possession she would want to know why and what Thomas was up to. He had sustained an injury from the fight and at the moment he cannot heal himself. He paused on his tracks and spit the blood out of his mouth. The trance he had with his father had made him weak in spirit momentarily and if care is not taken it might last for the next couple of days.“What was his mission? To kill me?” Thomas spoke to himself as he gathered the last energy to find his way home. The moment he got to the front door he pushed it open and went in. Lady Victoria jumped from her seat when she saw how battered he was.“What happened to you?’ she asked with a sneaky laughter behind each word a
ANOTHER ARRESTThe noise from downstairs got Thomas jumping to his feet.“How dare you think you can hurt my son and go free”. The voice boomed loud and clear. Thomas knew there was trouble but definitely not as serious as what he or his grandfather cannot fix. He was just about to get up from bed when Maven pushed his door open without courtesy.“I told you your actions were going to get us into trouble someday. Who is the young man you attacked earlier?” She demanded answers as sharp as possible. “You mean the one who attacked me with his friends? I have no idea”. Thomas answered defiantly.“Oh come on do not play games with me. His father and some cops are out there waiting to raid our home all because you cannot keep your hands to yourself Thomas, this is not nice and you are making me sick every single day”. She held her hand on her head as she tried to figure out if she had made a grave mistake by letting him come live at her house.“It’s nothing to worry about. The young man w
