SEE YOU AT HOME

Maven 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

    A JOURNEY OF NO RETURNThomas and the men set out for the mission the next day after he had told Maven he would be traveling for a few days. He grabbed his bag and went off to meet with the other gang members at the meeting point. “I shall take my destiny in my hands if it means wiping out a whole generation” he beat his chest and walked out. Meeting Sir Larry that very morning with a warm smile on his face the two men hugged as their new found way to greet themselves. “You are up to the task son and do not forget all that I have to you”. Sir Larry said. “Spider, Tiger, scorpion, Snipper and the rest of the men are outside waiting to receive you” he said with a bright smile on his face.“That's cool sir. I can't wait to be on this mission. I shall not fail you and grandpa and my late father too shall smile from the heavens.” Thomas said and kissed Sir Larry on the cheek.“Come on now it's time to leave”. Sir Larry spoke and pushed Thomas on the chest a little bit. They both laughe

    UNWANTED VISITORSThe moment they got into the building Pedro smiled as he saw them walk in. “Ah! Ha! I knew Marcus would come looking for me someday”. He said and hugged Ghokas without asking who he was. “Hoe did you know it was me and not them?” Thomas asked the middle- aged man.“I know my friend when I see him he lives in you and you must make him proud son, what if I owe you this auspicious visit?” The man with the long beards asked as he patted Thomas on the back.“My grandpa sent me here. He said "you know where Lord Rodrigo is and you have been waiting for this day for a long time”. Thomas said with a skeptical look.on his face. The man doesn't look as stunty as he had expected. “Your father was a good man” he spoke in a very calm tone. “I was asked to meet you sir. I know you can help me”“Sit”. He ordered. “You need to find Rodrigo”. He said to them, The men arranged themselves on the seat and waited. Thomas knows he is going to get the help he needs once everything is

    A DONE DEALThomas stood behind the men as they strolled into the building breaking into every room they found. They didn’t talk to themselves since they already knew the assignment. One heavy jam on each of the doors and it's open. Then they go in a quick search for any living thing. The last room was the study. The door was locked. The other men came from the other room with frowns on their faces. “The other rooms are empty bosses. Tiger reported.“It only means one thing boss, this room has exactly what we are looking for”. He spoke the words and smiled victoriously. His eyes read so much happiness that at last he was going to execute the reason he had come on a mission like this.“We need to get the door down by all means”. The men cackled in a loud roar and began to pound on the door with their feet. “What the heck?”one of the men asked. Meanwhile Rodrigo held his gun tight in the room and pointed it to the door. He was sweating profusely from his head down to his body. “I wo

    IT’S ALMOST TIMEWhen Thomas returned he just couldn’t feel even happier than he had been. For some reason he was beginning to feel the guilt of taking the life of those innocent children until his conscience spoke to him. “Well that’s true” he mouthed. The car reeked in front of Grandpa Al Thani’s mansion. Sir Al Thani couldn’t wait to have his son back in his arms. He had asked Lucas to roll him out so he could wait at the front porch.“Thomas my son” he stretched out his arms and welcomed him. Thomas ran into grandpa’s arms as comfortable as it could be.“If you find peace and a home.” Thomas whispered to his grandpa. Lucas later joined the hug happily.“Brother we have the best dish waiting for you and your men” Lucas said. Thomas paused and looked at him. The last time he checked, grandpa said Lucas was too small to know what’s going on, so how did he find out Thomas was coming with some men to the house?Thomas stood confused until he saw Grandpa Al thanis smile.” One of the b

Since Tricia and George have decided to play a fast one on him then he too shall deal with them as they so desire. That morning before Thomas left for the Taylor’s home he knew he had a lot to cover up. First he went to pay his foster grandma and grandpa a visit in the new home he got them. Grandma was happy to see Thomas after so many weeks and grandpa had tears of joy in his eyes for the new life and status he had given them. He didn’t get to spend so much time as he would be out later that day to begin my mission with Tricia and George.Thomas checked out a perfect plan that he was sure would work. Then he went on to lodge in a hotel the entire day. He slept for a few hours, at exactly seven o'clock he got up and dressed himself in his black hoodie and black pants and headed straight out for the mission. From his little

    THE BEST LAUGHThomas began to laugh when he dropped the phone. He knows that by now Tricia was on her way reeving mad to meet her beloved in the arms of another and wounded. He took his glass of wine and began to slurp slowly.Meanwhile a car stopped in front of the lounge and Tricia jumped out of it hurriedly. She ran straight up to the room. That was his private room and she knew exactly every damn worker.She didn’t even bother to ask the receptionist if George was in since Thomas had called her to inform her and she had no doubts since he also made mention of the room number. She is fully aware that before now Thomas had no freaking idea where she spends her love time with her new man, but now that he did she is convinced that there is more trouble to it than he had told her over the phone. A feeling of fear and anger surged her soul as she stomped the hallway raving straight to fight George. The moment she got close her blood pumped louder. She pushed the door open to find Geo

    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

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.

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

    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
