"Nice sketches, where did you get them?", Nicholas asked as the drawing enticed him. "Someone new, he applied for a job recently and this, is a sample of his work." "Looks good. I say you give him a trial." "I was about to, but then you came in. Any problem?"Nicholas sighed. " I just need you go over some document and sign them." "What documents?"As she asked, Nicholas placed them on the table. " I got some lands and I want you to sign the ownership files. Since you own this side of the property.""Well that true. You didn't need to go through the trouble getting them for me.", she leaned closer. " Tell me what you want in return.""I don't want anything, just sign them do I can get going, I have places to be."Annoyed by his response, she took ’em documents and proceed to sign them. On signing the last page, she passes it back to him and leaned back on her chair."Thank you.", he got up. "Have a good day."Veronica didn't reply and watch him leave. She looked away for som
"My house...""Correction, my house.", Rick said, mockingly. " But you still get to stay , I have no problem, but I will if you prevent me from seeing Sandra. You get me!. ", he beamed at the woman." Is that suppose to be a threat.", Sandra's mum implored with a glare wrapped on her face. " You don't scare me Rick. I will just have to file a case against. ""Bought!"" Bought? "Rick smirked. " I already bought your lawyer so you are quite defenseless if you try anything to wage a war. ""Argh! Rick Fortune... ", she uttered with a deep voice and looked at her daughter. " I see you are just going to stay silent. I should have known you two are of the same feathers but let me remind you Sandra. Rick Fortune cares about no one but himself. "" Enough mum!. ", Sandra retorted. " You are always against eye and Rick relationship. it enough already."" How dare you!. ", Sandra's mother puts one foot forward and attempts to slap her daughter but Rick took her hand by surprise, dropped it an
Phase 7, Mid Town High. Grayson Mansion.The guest increased in large numbers as time passes. Expensive looking vehicles Making their way in. The door of the one cars opens up and stepping out of the car reveals to be Rick Fortune. No, it wasn't Just him, Veronica Fortune was also stepped down from the other side."Sigh, it not a wedding, yet it looks like one. Why are people so bent on overdoing stuffs.", adjusting his red coat. "Oh big brother. Tell me you wouldn't make mine this way.", Veronica asked as she locked the door.Rick chuckled. "We will know by then.", he moved forward and his eyes meets Goldilocks patrolling up and down the gate."And would you look at that.", Rick gazed at her. "The beauty at the gates.""Daughter of the Graysons... Ms. Goldilocks.", Veronica told him. " She's a feisty one brother.""Who said I don't like feisty girls?"" looks likes she's waiting for someone.", "Let me become who the one who she awaits."" Oh brother."Rick paced forward like a ki
PHASE 5, MID-TOWN HIGH.Daniel was seen upstairs, in the room, dressing and preparing to go out for the day. He had just received good news from Madam Veronica, telling him to begin work as an Architect soon, how amazing. Smiles and joy couldn't escape his face as he was happy he would finally be having a job and also be able to help the family and also, have the financial capabilities of burying his mom. He was so happy, so happy that he forgot to brush his hair, and he turned around to leave. "Dean. You ready yet?" Daniel said, peeping through dean's door, but the lad was nowhere to be found."Dean. Dean where are you?" Daniel said, as he began searching the whole house for his little brother."Ohh shit." He exclaimed in fear as he couldn't find his brother yet. He rushed downstairs and checked the farm, but he wasn't there either. At this point, Daniel was confused, where could he be? Daniel thought to himself. He walked round the living room, only to hear little noises from the
PHASE 7, MID-TOWN HIGH.(The Grayson's Mansion.)Goldilocks was still standing outside the gate, waiting for God knows who. She moved to the left and right, staring at her watch each time she breadth out hard. She was restless and couldn't even settle down anymore. She suddenly saw a car coming from afar, and she smiled. She walked forward, waiting to see who it was, but as the car drove in, she realised, it was not the one she was waiting for and she hissed."What is keeping him so long? I thought he said he will be here before the party begins. Why is he taking so long?" Goldilocks said as she continued walking from side to side.Meanwhile, jenny was also among the people sitted at the table, arranged on the wide and large field of the Graysons. She was also worried, and was kinda waiting for someone as well. She took her phone and took a quick stare at it, and after that, she stood up and sighed."Care for a drink ma'am?" One of the waiter's asked. "No. I'll be fine. I will be rig
"WELL. Apart from the pleasure, what else am I supposed to feel." Goldilocks asked and Jenny heaved in surprise."You are supposed to feel the connection goldi. Not just the pleasure. Once the love is not there, you can't feel the connection." Jenny said and Goldilocks smiled."I don't need that babe. Am fine the way I am. I don't need any man's connection of any such. Am okay this way." Goldi said and Jenny smiled."You will someday. Trust me." Jenny said and goldi turned around.She was happy the way she was. But she had no option. Men were scammers to her, so she didn't need them for anything. She was okay the way she was and she wants it to remain so. But on a second thought, she was beginning to have feelings for Daniel, and she thought, maybe she was thinking about him too much. She turned around and sighed."I think I better get inside now. I don't think he is coming." Goldi said and Jenny raised a brow."Who?" Jenny asked."Daniel of course. He said he will be coming tonight,
East Alley,**New York City,**The Stephen's Mansion**Laura's POV*I stirred from sleep. Something woke me up. It felt like knocking. Oh, someone was trying different rhythms of knocking on my door. Probably, mum, she won't just let me be.I yawned loudly, stretched, and cast a glance at the alarm clock, 8:00 am, it read. "Well, I'm no longer a CEO who has meetings on Sundays, so why bother about the ti…"Another series of knocks interrupted my thoughts."I'm coming", I sighed, rumbling my bedsheets a little.I threw on a T-shirt, glanced at the mirror, and saw a lady with puffy eyes, tangled hair, and a sad smile. I took a comb to adjust a little but paused. "What's the use? Daniel wasn't here to adore all these". I upheaved loudly and strolled to the door and there mom looking apologetic."What do you want?", I asked, staring coldly at her."Good morning, dear. We're sorry for everything. Can you please forgive us? We really miss you. I miss you dearly", she pleaded, making a peac
*Midtown High,**Phase 7,**The Grayson's Mansion* *Simon's P.O.V*I threw glances at May. She was a stunner. Piercing blue eyes, a luxury figure, and an alluring smile. Her easy air was infectious. Little wonder, she was getting along with Goldilocks.Maybe she wasn't a bad bride after all. Oh, what was I thinking? What about Katherine? I loved her but I don't think Dad would approve. It wasn't his life but trust him to always do what satisfies his ego.There was Veronica too. We had a fling years ago and just when I was going to get even with her, someone decided to go violent on me. I knew it will be Rick. No one dared to cross paths with me, so it had to be that evil…. I felt like crushing his bones but that will wait. I will get him back for good.Soon, we were downstairs. The atmosphere was still boiling with banters and reckless laughter.I threw a "don't come here " stare to my crew and followed Goldilocks and May to meet the Harris family and Dad."Hi, Dad", I greeted. "Gold
