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

IT'S YOUR FAULTMeanwhile at the Taylor's office there is a huge chaos between the two brothers and their son. David was busy in his new office when grandma's call came directly to him. Since he was now occupying Maven's office it was easy for her to call him directly and lay any complaint concerning what she doesn't like. With a frown on her face she picked up the telephone and cleared her throat before speaking in. a husky tone.“David, what is this that I heard about the investors wanting to end their contract with the company.This is barely four months since you emerged as the head of operations and everything is dying in your hand. I do not understand what kind of business you are running alongside your father”. Grana spoke with pent anger. Her tone was the friendly one she had always used for her sweet David. He suddenly began to tremble and sweat in hand. By the time grandma was done scolding chin on the phone he took a deep breath and put the receiver down. “How the hell did

CALL HER BACKPatrick looked at his brothers the moment they dropped at Grandma’s mansion.“I do not know how else to say this but we need to devise another means to make it. “What do we tell her? “Derrick said as they walked into the building. “Let’s go in”, Patrick told them and they all walked into the living room.“Good evening mom” Derrick and Patrick said in unison. Grandma Clara looked at them in disdain.“What is so good about the evening that you have the effrontery to give me such pleasantry? I do not need any of those and you should never come here pretending to have something good coming when all you have is bad news and disappointment. As a matter of fact I am super disappointed in all of you”. She ended her statement with a long snicker.“What did you all say is wrong with the company? Because I got an email stating that seventy percent of the investors are pulling out of the company because of bad management and low investment returns. Since when did all that start?”

THE AGREEMENT Three men looked at themselves and sluggishly walked out of Grandma Clara’s house after all she had finished bashing them for all their mistakes. “I have no idea how we are going to convince Maven to come back to the company”. Patrick said. “We? You should say I. You gotta do it alone. David and I are not going to follow you to Maven’s house. I have got some shame bro, after all that we did to that lady, she could get us all arrested. I will stay back and tell the story while you and your son try out if it’s going to work”. Derrick is always known for his cowardice. “You have always been a coward and I know you would run away when it gets really tough but not to worry Maven is a soft and gullible lady I can easily sweet talk her into returning to the company in a few hours.” “Well, good luck with that”. Derrick answered. And began to walk away, they all entered the car and Patrick drove off to Maven’s place. “What have you brought me here for? I never asked

BACK TO WORKThe moment they left the fake couple began to laugh so loud. “I knew they would come begging,” Thomas said with the happiest laugh. He has always thought of several ways to make those men humble and now this was happening to them. I will resume the office tomorrow the moment they send the money and please I do not need you to tell me not to go. How did you even come up with the idea that I work with the Althani's now when you know for sure that I have got no job with any company at the moment.” Maven asked Thomas who was still holding the tray of fruit in his hands. “Well even if I do not have a good job at least I know how to lie with my tongue. Tell them you now work with the Al Thani's would make them want to associate with you and agree to your terms easily. Everyone one noth young and old knows that the Al Thani's are the wealthiest in the entire region and beyond so who would want to meet up to the standards?”. Thomas asked as he put the fruits on the side stand.

SEE YOU AT HOMEMaven marched into the T and T building with her chest and shoulders raised. She knows that her arrival would raise a lot of speculations and funny talks from the workers and society at large but she never really gives a damn about what they had to say. She shook her head letting her long sleek hair fly in the air as she walked through the main door. She climbed to the elevator and headed straight to her office the moment she got off the elevator.“Good morning Ma'am. Welcome Ma'am” were raw words flying around the entire hall. The staff that saw her greeted with joy while the others who heard the news of her resumption couldn't help but ahre their excitement amongst themselves. “You are welcome back Ma'am. I have missed you”. Grace spoke with excitement in her tone. She has had to assist David when Maven was away. She had almost dropped her resignation a few days ago when she heard the rumors about Maven's return so she kept her decision to herself for a few more r

THE TRAININGThomas got dressed as quickly as possible so he could meet up with the men. He hurriedly got into a taxi the moment he got out of the house. Maven had left for work that morning and the new chef Morgan had just resumed.“Aggrey Street”. He said to the driver as he strapped his back across his shoulders. He kept his phone in the minimal volume so no one gets to hear what he was talking about. His phone began to ring just as he had envisaged and of course it was no other than his uncle Sir Larry. He was fond of calling his “Uncle” to make things easier. The bond between the two men grew quickly as they tended to spend even more time together. “Hello uncle”. Thomas spoke into the phone calmly, he listened to all Sir Larry had to say and then nodded with a very low response.“I will be there in five minutes”. Thomas answered. The call dropped and he took a deep breath. Meanwhile in his heart he is very uncertain about the journey. What if he never returns and so many other

A LITTLE SECRETSir Larry took him to a side of the building and on the left was an entrance door from the back. He led him through a dark corridor.“Where are we going? “Thomas tried hard to maintain the composure he had held from the beginning of the journey. Even though he was still young, he is a hero and heroes don’t freak out no matter the situation they find themselves in. The room was dark until Sir Larry turned on the lights.“What are these?”“These are your fathers of old up until your generation.” Thomas looked at the images. Sir Larry stood with a smile on his face as he gave Thomas the lecture about his lineage and how he has been chosen as the next healer for this generation.“Why then is Grandpa Roland not the chosen one?“It's skip Thomas. It comes two generations after and since your father was killed you have to carry the mandate. “Oh I see”. Thomas exclaimed and rubbed his fingers together. “So in a real sense I am only here to carry out the mission my father di

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
