Lilly had spoken to Mr. Eddie before arriving at the venue and he assured her that she was on the list of lead models, but now it seem to be a different conversation with Lisa. “ What do you mean my name is not on the list? ”. Her voice increased a bit as she spoke and other models suddenly stopped what they were doing and were now watching her. “ Only lead models get to wear my Berry Glory design and I was given a list of those that would be wearing it and you are not on my list”.“ Then maybe your list is wrong, Get Mr. Williams on the phone and confirm with him”.“ I am sorry Lilly, but I am too busy for that, Ms. Carmel will be here soon and I wouldn't want to disappoint her”.“ Yeah! So am I the one that needs to be disappointed? ”. Lilly asked, feeling the rage slowly fueling inside of her. Lisa scoffed loudly giving her a sarcastic glare. “Of course Lilly, you are a disappointment! ”. She exclaimed and all the models watched in awe wondering what Lilly would do because she h
Lilly gulped down some saliva and cracked her throat before she finally spoke in a frightened state. “ I am sorry, what did you just say to me? ”.“ You are six weeks pregnant Ms. Roderick and your baby doesn't look too healthy, I suppose that is because you were on a diet”.“ Nurse! Is this true! Am I pregnant? ”.“ Yes ma and we have informed your husband, he should be here any minute”.“ What!! You did what? ”.“ Is there a problem Ms. Roderick? ”.“ No, not at all” she replied trying to hold back the tears, and just then the door swung open with Charles stepping in. His eyes were dark red, his gaze deep and he glared at her like he was going to devour her. “ Oh! Speaking of, Mr. Roderick, welcome Sir! ”.“ Thank you, Nurse, what was that you were saying on the phone? ”.“ Your wife here is six weeks pregnant and is malnourished, I mean I get that she is a model and needs to look fit and slender at all times, but now there is a baby involved, she will need to eat a lot more, she
“How dare you scoff at Grandma like that, you think because your daughter was able to land one success you can speak to any of us like that! ”. Eric roared. “Eric Calm down and let me talk to her, I have always known Emily to be reasonable”. Grandma Maria turned to Emily but her eyes were filled with tears and they poured out uncontrollably. “Emily dear please Lilly has been trying to conceive since she got married and now she is pregnant, you do understand what it means since you are a mother, she could lose her child”.“Grandma! Lisa is fighting for her life right now, why isn't any of you talking about it! ”. Olivia finally spoke feeling so much pain inside of her. “Will you shut that thing you call a mouth, how dare you speak when others are speaking! ”. Charles rebuked her. “You are the one that should shut up, this is my house and I think that I have every right to say whatever it is that I choose to say! ”. She called into question him. “Olivia that is enough, you should
The next day, Charles was at his office behind the large desk when Mr. Paulos arrived holding a document containing a few pages. “ Good morning sir! ”. Charles stood up and shook hands with him. “ Welcome Mr. Paulos, have a seat while I get you something to drink”.“ That won't be necessary because I have urgent matters to deal with, I could have sent this to your email, but I needed to be sure that we still had a deal”.“ Did you get anything on that lunatic? ”.“of course, I have my ways, when are we receiving the narcotics you promised? ”.“ It is getting shipped in today, you will be able to receive it by the end of tomorrow”.“ I am holding you on your words, he is not someone that we should be too afraid of, I held him in high regard but now I fully understand why he would want to keep his identity hidden”. Paulos explained and placed the document on the desk, Charles anxiously grabbed the document and evolved it. His eyes scanned through the files, and as he read through th
They both finalized their business deal before Williams who stood behind Harry all this while, came forward to the table and placed there with a page opened. Mr. Johnson carefully took his time to go through the document page by page before signing it, once they were through with the signing process, Paulos cracked his throat, drawing their attention over to him.“ Mr. Harry, how about we discuss my business plan with you”“What are you into if you don't mind me asking and what kind of business deal would you like to offer me?”“ I own a Company in Singapore that is into the exportation of cars”“I am sorry about that, but I won't be able to help you because I don't deal with cars”“I am not asking you to invest in my company, I have a better business proposal for you and I hope that we can have a private conversation”“That won't be a problem, I will set that up then maybe you can come over to my office”“That sounds great!” A deep smile appeared on Paulos's face as they both shook
Charles still filled with rage did not realize the blood that filled everywhere, The maid who was striding into the living room seeing the scene that was unfolding immediately dashed out of there. Although Charles heard the sound of the door swinging open, he was still engrossed with his rage and did not bother to check on the noise, he lifted the vast again ready to pounce on her, but the amount of blood on the floor scared him and he instantly threw the vast away. “Lilly! Lilly!!” He called out, panting heavily. “Lilly I know that this is your way of trying to get away from this, So get up and I promise not to hit you again”He exclaimed again but her body remained unmoved, blood gushing out from her head and body, and slowly its color was varying. “Lilly please get up and we can talk about this?” He called out again, and this time in a pleading tone but there was no word from her nor was there a reaction, Charles squatted down close to her and checked her pulse, but everything w
Dinner did not go as Emily had planned, Lisa had a frown spread across her face and could not wait to leave there. Seeing the intense air around the dining room, Collins cracked his throat, and seeing that he had all their attention, he spoke. “I am so glad to be able to be here with my family again, I did not realize what a blessing it was until I almost lost my life, And Harry, I am so grateful for your help and promise to pay back as soon as I can”“Collins dear, I told you that you do not need to pay him, he owes us more than that if we were to go into some calculation from the time he got married to Lisa”“ Mother! You do not realize the gravity of what he did for me, those men were pretty dangerous, and believe me when I say I would have lost my life, thanks man, after today, you earned my respect”“I did for Lisa” Harry replied with a smile. “I know, I see how much you love her, if only she loved you half as you do”“I do and he knows that” Lisa replied, cutting through his
In the large living room in Springfield mansion stood Lisa and her mother Emily, Emily still held the phone to her ear while Lisa stood still, the room was dead-drop silent except for the sound of the tickling on the wall clock, each second seeming to last an eternity. Lisa's face had become pale, her hands were trembling and her breath became shallow, she felt lost, adrift in a sea of confusion. “No! It can't be! Harry would never do such a thing, this is a prank” She finally spoke after standing there for what felt like forever, and just then, Emily's phone rang again. “Hello… Grandma” Emily managed to speak with her voice trembling. “I want to see you and Lisa at Charles's house this minute” Grandma Maria spoke in a sad but authoritative tone and immediately ended the call. “Lisa, it seems like you won't be having that party at the office today, let go” Emily grabbed her bag that was lying on the couch while she waited for Harry, picked up her car keys from the glass table, an
