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

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
