He slipped his phone into the pocket of his dark blue jeans and he turned slowly to meet her. His fists balled as she approached him and his breath quickened. Elise had threw on a light makeup right after dressing and she was prettier. He stretched out his hand for her to place hers in his. The duo left home at exactly 7:30pm. There was an already waiting Uber that Richard had booked for both of them. During his preparations towards their anniversary celebrations, he deviated between stating at home and having a late night dinner date with Elise, right there in their apartment but he felt that taking her out to a more exposed environment will cause her to lighten up and add more spice to the evening. A minute before Elise came into the living room, He dialed Nikofor the last time to find out if everything was prepared. It was Niko who had chosen the location that the would use for the date. His bestfriend assured him to set his mind at rest as everything was planned out exactl

They soon got to the single table. There were just too decorated seats by the table and each was placed on opposite sides. Elise’s gaze fell on the array of food that had been kept on the table. There were dishes of all sizes, filled with both familiar and unfamiliar food Richard pulled out one of the seats and gestured for her to sit on it. She did, still clutching her small hand bag. Then, Richard went round the table to the other side and he sat. “Are we having a party or what?” Elise asked. Richard chuckled, taking another look at the different delicacies on the table. “No.” “Babe, don’t Tell me that all these food is for just the two of us. But, why?” “It’s a celebration of our love” He said and snapped his fingers. Then, one of the waitress stepped forward briskly and joined them at the table. “Pour out the wine” Richard ordered, still looking at Elise. The waiterress nodded and immediately set to do her job. Elise looked around the table where they sat “You know this pl

Ruben watched her movements in silence. “Thank you for everything, Mr. Ruben” Elise told the seated man. Her hand bag swung from her right hand. “Like I said, put your investigations on hold, for the moment. I’ll handle things myself” The man bobbed his head. Then, he wiped his sweaty brows. His hands were shaky as he started to unzip how small bag. Elise was about to walk away when she stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at the man. He was now gathering the papers on the table. He peered up at Elise and cocked an eyebrow. “Did you leave anything behind, Ma’am Elise?” “Yes” Elise hissed, “I left my final instructions unsaid. Now, I don’t want you to breath a word of any of these to anyone. I have left way too much sensitive information with you. Do you understand?” The man held back a chuckle and he bobbed his head. Elise swung around and took long strides out of the café without looking back at the dazzled man. The clouds hung, dark and gloomy outside the café an

Elise tore her eyes away from him and looked out of the window at the evening traffic. She did not expect him to react to the question this way and now she felt like he had deliberately put her on the spot by requesting that she asked him the question in smaller chunks instead of throwing the big question at him. She felt tears well up in her eyes and she blinked it off rapidly. Then, she swirled around and turned to face him. “What ties do you have with Niko, the billionaire CEO?” Richard chuckled a bit and when he saw the cold glare on Elise’s face, he quickly wiped the smile off his face and he cleared his throat noisily. “I had no idea that Niko had caught your interest so fast” He said. “Answer the question!” She barked in a slightly raised voice. Richard was dumbfounded. He was new to everything that was happening. He had never imagined a situation where Elise would yell at him. She was always the calm headed one in the relationship. Now, she was more than provoked t

Richard didn’t look back as he chopped through the eggs, “You’re acting like an old man.” Heaving a sigh, Elise tossed the paper towel at the trash can but missed, “I feel like an old man, that is exactly why I have you in my life. You are my bodyguard, remember?.” She winked at him “Can I have another paper towel?” Richard smiled, nodded and tore off another for her, then picked up the dirty one and threw it in the trash can. Within a short while, Richard dumped the eggs evenly on two plates and he brought them over to the dining table. Elise joined him with some plates of toast bread. Halfway through their meal, Richard’s phone rang beside him. He peered at the screen of the phone and looked up at Elise. She was folding her bread with some pieces of egg in between and she raised her face to meet his eyes on her, she smiled. It was brief and fleeting. “What’s up?” She asked Richard before she munched on the bread in her hands. “Who called you?” She nudged her chin at his phone

“Ugh” he slapped a palm to his face. “You need to do it, Babe!” she whined. “We are losing a lot of water” Richard took a step back and leaned against the open bedroom door, “I will ring up a professional plumber to come over here and fix it” Elise lifted her shoulder in a half shrug and sighed. “Either ways, it ends up getting fixed. Do you want to go somewhere; you just grabbed your jacket” Richard nodded. “I need to see someone” He said cooly. Elise nodded, not wanting to ask him any other questions. In some minutes, Richard was already out of the house. ….. …… ….. As Sly drove through the snow, early one morning, he chided himself for not having the foresight to get a warm jacket before setting out of the house. He was now cold and he could feel his teeth clash against themselves. His fingers were numb as they danced on the surface of the steering wheels. The drive was almost unbearable as much as it was slow, but the thought of spending the week in with his family kep

After almost four hours of groveling and pushing through the snow, Sly finally got to the private neighborhood where his family house was situated. He decided to park a distance away from the house because of the huge pile of snow that was ahead. Cold seared through him. His light long sleeved shirt was almost useless as it was as though he was not wearing any clothing. His trousers was made of thin fabric and he kept running his palms together, right after he switched off the engine of the car. The cold was numbing. Sly picked up the old scarf that laid on the passenger seat beside him. He could not remember who owned the scarf but that was the only clothing available that he could use in fighting off the cold as he prepared to leave the car . Sky drew in a sharp breath and Stepped out of the car. As soon as he did, biting cold stung his cheeks so he pulled thescarf up closer to my face. As he looked around, he noticed a white blanket of snow covering the trees, ground, and hous

“I think we should focus more on eating now” Sly’s mother muttered loud enough for everyone to hear as she dished out some food for her daughter in law. Her husband nodded and picked up a piece of serviette that was beside him, then he started to wipe his face His expression was hard to read. Sly could not tell if his father was unhappy with him or if he was disappoint that he could not handle an attack on the company. Suddenly, he felt very sweaty and uncomfortable. He raised his face from the plate of food on front of him and his eyes met his brother’s There was a small grin in his brothers far as they looked at each other. Sly remained quiet. Cold sweat clung to the back of his shirt. The weather was still as good as it was when he arrived there That was one thing that always happened to him whenever he was unsettled. His temperature would always contrast that of his environment. After his mother had finished dishing out everyone’s meal, she went back to her seat “Sly,

The next few days went by in a whir of emotions for Elise and Richard. As Richard drove down the sunny road, Elise’s nerves were palpable. She fidgeted with her fingers and sighed deeply. “Are you okay?”Elise spoke up, her voice laced with worry. “My Mom is going to be disappointed in me, she had always envisioned something else for me.”Richard turned and met her eyes. “We have nothing to lose, Elise. We love each other, and that’s all that matters. Elise, don’t worry. It’ll be okay. We’ve got this.”“I just don’t want her to be disappointed in me. I feel like I should have told her before now,” Elise replied, her voice wavering.Richard took one hand off the steering wheel to reach over and take Elise’s hand.“She loves you, Elise. She’ll be happy for you once she sees how happy we are.”Elise squeezed Richard’s hand and smiled. “You’re right. I’m probably just overthinking it.”As they arrived at the residence, they were welcomed by the high gates that led to the luxurious mansi

James’ wife, Susan, had been sitting quietly during Richard’s announcement, but as soon as he spoke the words “Hûlio is my father,” her eyes widened in shock. She had always assumed Richard was a lost cause, coming from a poor family and with no connections to speak of. But now, it seemed, he was from a wealthy bloodline.Susan’s first instinct was to make up for her previous bad character by offering something valuable to Richard. “Richard, my daughter Elise is also unmarried. I propose that you take her as your wife,” she said, smiling sweetly.Richard was taken aback by the sudden proposal. He had been secretly dating Elise for months, but Susan didn’t know that. He shook his head, declining politely. “Thank you for the offer, but I cannot accept. I have other plans.”Susan’s smile faltered for a moment before she put on a gracious façade once again. “Of course, I understand. We will do everything we can to help you reconnect with your family,” she said, still trying to make up for

The rich office of Hûlio was a grand affair, decked with lavish furnishings and ornate decorations. The walls were adorned with artwork and photographs of his family, giving a glimpse into the life of luxury that he lived. A large mahogany desk dominated the center of the room, on which sat an array of expensive gadgets and trinkets.Hûlio sat at his desk, pouring over old family documents when Rue entered the room.“Sir, I received a rather peculiar email today,” she said.Hûlio looked up from the papers and raised a questioning eyebrow.“It seems that an anonymous person claims to have found your lost son,” Rue continued.Hûlio’s eyes widened in surprise. “My son? But he was kidnapped when he was only 10 years old. How could he be found now?”“That’s what the sender of the email claims, sir. They are requesting a meeting at an open field to prove their claims,” Rue explained. Hûlio leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette, his thoughts racing. Could this be real? Could his long

As Elise stepped into her room, she closed the door behind her, making sure that her boyfriend Richard’s palm tree-patterned shirt was folded and placed beside her bed. The dim light from the bedside lamp created a peaceful atmosphere that made her feel relaxed. The apartment was small but cozy, with walls decorated with various paintings of the sunset, flowers, and the Eiffel Tower. She walked towards the mirror, and she could see her reflection, appreciating how her olive-toned skin glowed. She was wearing a cream tank top and her hair was tied in a bun.As she began her skincare routine, she applied her favorite cleanser in circular motions, ensuring it was thoroughly massaged into her skin. A faint fragrance of lavender from the lotion she was using soon filled the room. She enjoyed the calmness of the room as the music from the speaker on the shelf played softly in the background.As she continued massaging her face, her phone rang. Elise hesitated, assuming it was probably her

As Elise cuddled close to Richard, she felt the warmth of his body and the softness of the blanket they shared. They made small talk about the movie, commenting on the plot and the scares. Despite the creepy atmosphere, they both felt relaxed in each other’s company.However, as Richard stayed up after Elise went to bed, the mood in the room changed. His thoughts turned to the stranger he had bumped into at the airport, and the picture of his face kept flashing in his mind. The news about Sly being a direct heir of Hulio Adiento added to the sense of unease in the room. The image of Hulio’s face on the TV screen sent shivers down Richard’s spine as he tried to make sense of the coincidence.Lost in thought, Richard eventually headed to bed with a sinking feeling, wondering what the next day would bring.As Richard stepped out of his house, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and a cool breeze blew across his face.

It was not long before avoiding his work calls and watching the news in fear that he might be wanted by the police. His room was dark and messy, with clothes piled up on the floor and empty bottles scattered around. He didn’t care about anything anymore, not even himself.His thoughts were disturbed, swirling around in his head like a storm. He couldn’t believe what he had done, and he didn’t know how to face the consequences.

It took a while before he could lift her off the wet ground and trudge through the quiet woods to the main road where his police vehicle had been parked.

He tugged harder on her belt, her body pressing up further against his. He grabbed her hair in his fist and balled it up. He drew her head back and looked at her. She began to cry, to plead.“Please don’t,” She said. “Please.”“Shut up.”He kissed her again and this time, he inserted his tongue in her mouth. By pleading, she had left herself open to this. Again he pulled her head back roughly. “Kiss back,” he said.And I did.When he was satisfied, he stopped and tried to work the latch on Her belt. It was a belt with a strange buckle and he couldn’t figure it out. To have him let go of her, for him to leave her alone, she said, “Let me, I’ll do it.”He watched her.When she was done, he unzipped the jeans she wore.“Now take off your shirt.”She had a cardigan sweater on. She took that off. He reached over to help unbutton her shirt. He fumbled.“I’ll do it,” She said again.She unbuttoned the oxford-cloth shirt and, like the cardigan, She peeled it back from her body. It was like

He stated down at her with so much intensity in his eyes.It terrified the hell out of her as crossed both legs over her and sat on her thigh.“What are you trying to do? I need—” She got cut off as his strong palms came heavily on her mouth, sitting out her voice. “Hanna!” Sly growled. “Can you not see that I am madly in love with you?” He said His voice reverberated through the woods and bounded back to them.Cold sweat trickled down the Hanna’s neck as she locked eyes with himShe was numb.He released his hand from her mouth.I screamed. Quickly. Abruptly.The struggle began. She rose her feet in difficulty.He covered her mouth again. He kneed her in the back of her legs so that she would fall down. “You don’t get it, Hanna. I have fallen in love with you and if I don’t taste you first I will not be happy when I leave the island” He said in a bitter voice She struggled some more, trying to push off his weight from her almost tired body.His threat rang out into the air.
