Richard frowned over the cup of coffee that was in front of him. He had asked for black coffee but the waiter had gotten him creamed offer instead. With one of his hands, he pushed the cup away from him.The waiter looked on, almost tearing up. “I’m very sorry, Sir” He said. “I was in a hurry and I mixed up your order with that of the lady who’s wearing a hat” He turned and pointed at a lady by the window. The café was gradually getting filled up as more people trooped in.“I can’t accept this. Are you bothered about the money? I’ll pay for it. Just get me the order I asked for”“Alright, Sir” The waiter exclaimed with relief and scurried away with the cup of coffee.“You handled that quite well” A voice said, breaking through Richard’s train of thought.He looked to his left at the iPad that was by the flower vase on the table.So, he had not hung up? He muttered under his breath. He had been on. A video call with Niko that afternoon. They had several things to talk about and this

The following day, Richard was woken up by a loud knock on the door of his room. He rolled over on the bed and picked up his phone which was on the bedside table; then, he checked the time. It was alm7 am and 7 am. The time for the first phase of the competition was 8:30 am.He dragged himself out of bed and stumbled towards the door and unlocked itHis lecturer, Mr. Hart, rushed into the room with a look of urgency on his face. His large, bulgy eyes blinked rapidly at Richard.“Do not tell me that you’re just waking up from sleep” He shouted, looking around the room until his gaze fell on the messy bed that Richard had just gotten out of.He frowned at Richard who still stood by the door of the room, wiping his face with the back of his hand.“Hurry, have a quick shower and dressed, Boy!” He urged Richard as he pushed him towards the bathroom.In slight confusion over the fuss that his lecturer was displaying, Richard was hesitant to go into the bathroom. Instead, he stood by the he

The morning sun was already out but it felt refreshingly warm instead of itchy as usual. Outside the hotel building, she stood by the wall, patiently hoping that one of the selected students for the contest would show up and give her directions to the conference hall where the talk seminar was to take place.She was grateful that she had picked up her glasses just before she walked out of the hotel room because now, the rays from the sun was already beating down on her forehead.Her phone rang and when she checked who was calling, it was Richard.“Hello?” She greeted.“Hey. Elise.” Richard said.“Are you at the conference hall yet? Where’s venue?”“Yes. I’m there right now. I called to find out whether you will be joining us over here. The venue is 133th Downing. It’s a large cone shaped building. It’s quite hard to miss”“Alright, then.” Elise said. She was about to hang up when Richard asked her to use an Uber down to the location so she wouldn’t miss her way or waste time on the ro

Richard was still wiping his wet hands with a small towel that he always carried about in his back pocket when he met Mr. Hart by the minibus. He frowned when he noticed that the two other students were not inside the bus. He was too drained and could not bear the thoughts of going back into the crowded hall to look for them again.“The others left” Mr. Hart announced before Richard had a chance to question the whereabouts of the students.Richard cocked an eyebrow and his frown deepened. “Left? Where did they go to, Sir? Did they go to the hotel”Mr. hart yawned. “The other students went for sightseeing. I gave them the order.” He rubbed his eyes and blinked at Richard. “ would you love to have a tour of the city too?” He asked Richard.Richard shook his head and walked around the bus to the other side. Then, he got in. He decided to stay behind at the hotel and prepare for the competition. Besides, he barely knew anyone in the new city that they had gone to.That evening, he had a l

Richard decided to get a bottle of water from one of the vendors that sold outside the hall. After he had just paid for the water, his phone rang, startling him a bit. He swiped across the screen of the phone and saw Niko’s caller ID.“Hello, Nik” He called into the phone, “Are you not inside the hall?”Niko was breathing heavily and he sounded very strained, “Richard, something just came up”Richard became alarmed and a cold wave of panic swept through his body. “What?” He yelled.“It is the company. I just received a bad call” His voice trailed off“Talk to me, Niko!” Richard said in a loud voice “What happened to the company?” His mind began to cook up possible scenarios that could have occurred in his company and he chose to ignore them, urging Niko to speak up, “What is going on?”“I don’t know. My assistant at the office, Kim, called me some minutes ago, crying and she said that I should fly back to the country as soon as I could before situations got out of control” Niko explai

The awards began and each of the students received a monetary reward based on their performances during the competition.Maria, the beautiful blonde girl that had tried to talk to Richard at the start of the competition turned out to be the first prize winner of the competition. She had gotten several medals and she stood with the available dignitaries in the occasion, alongside other winners, to take pictures outside the hall.Elise had been very tensed the moment that the moderator was announcing the results from the competition and as soon as Richard had been announced as the winner of the competition, she felt a warm feeling rush through her and she became giddy with excitement.That moment, she became proud of herself for being a student of her university as one of the top winners of the competition had come directly from her university. Due to the taking of pictures that happened after the results has been announced, Elise decided to explore the city. She had initially wanted to

The early evening rain had just ended when Richard arrived at the restaurant. The streets were wet and only a few people moved around with umbrellas because there was a light drizzle that still persistedThere was also traffic on the road as most office workers were now returning. Noise of conflicting car horns pierced through the night, mingling with the shouts and loud voices of the people on the street. Almost everyone seemed to be hurrying up to somewhere.The restaurant that Richard had dropped at had a set of glass revolving doors that opened up on its own. While staring at his wristwatch for the time, he walked through the revolving door and was hit by the cold air of the restaurant. Outside the restaurant was cold but he interior we almost at freezing temperature because the air conditioning units inside had all been switched on.He scanned the busy restaurant with his eyes and saw Maria. She was seated with crossed legs at a table in the middle of the restaurant. There was a

As soon as he arrived at the hotel, he went straight to the bathroom and had a nice shower. It had always worked for him. Whenever he felt really stressed out and he desperately needed to calm himself down, if he was at home, usually had a bathe.After he stepped out from the bathroom in small briefs—with his muscled chest, bare—he picked up a clean pair of shorts that he had left on the clothe railing earlier and wore it. Then, he remembered the call that he was yet to return to Elise’s father and, with a freshly made cup of coffee in his hand, he grabbed his phone and went to the swinging chair that was at the corner of his bedroom.He climbed into it and relaxed into its next. It was warm and almost dark inside the seat.A grown human could fit into the seat and it was sturdy enough to carry any weight as it was hung from two, strong iron poles that were connected to the ceiling of the room.The swinging chair rocked on its own each time Richard shifted within it. He dialed James'

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. He closed the door behind him, took a deep breath and started walk

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. All he knew was that he was a monster, and that he deserved to be punishedAfter two days of locking himself in his apartment he decided to speak up about what he has done and he visited his family house very early the following morning.One thing that had always in endeared him to this house where he spent most of his childhood was that it reeked of wealth. Sly’s family home was a mansion surrounded by lush green gardens, a swimming pool, and a fleet of luxury cars parked outside. The front door was adorned with a grand entrance, and the marble floors shimmer

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 carefully opened it up and out her in the back seat before he ran over to the other side of the car and got into the driver’s seat.He took her to the hospital immediately, where she was treated for her injuries and given a rape kit.As she lay in the hospital bed, Elise’s mind was consumed by the horror of what had happened. She couldn’t believe that Sly, someone she had trusted so deeply, could have done something so vile.The following morning, Hanna laid on the hospital bed, her body feeling violated and her mind consumed with the memory of the brutal attack. Her eyes were closed, but she wasn’t asleep – she was lost in thought, replaying the incident over and over in her head.The room was quiet except for the soft hum of medical equipment. The walls were painted a pale blue, and there was a small window that looked out onto

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. It was
