Daniel walked back into the bar and sat close to the counter as his mind kept flashing at his past. He and Jenny had a thing going some years back, but she left and now she wants him back? Why? He just couldn't seem to understand why a beautiful and rich lady like her would want a man like him. But anyways, his wife was rich, and she still loved him, guess he was just a man of luck.Still thinking about his past life with Jenny, the thoughts of his late mom came running into his mind, then his wife, God!! His life was screwed, so so screwed that he felt like Killing himself or jumping off a cliff."Sir, are you alright?" The voice of the bar man brought him out of the danger zone in his mind. His eyes were sour and you could feel the pitiful aura that emitted from them."Am, am, I will be alright." Daniel said with a sigh, dropping his drink immediately."Do you need a whiskey? I have them fresh and new." The bar man asked.Daniel managed to smile, "No, no am fine. I'll just go now" H
Daniel's POV•She smiled and then slowly inhaled the air while her hands were placed on the stomach of the old woman."What is it?" I asked to know what was wrong. She didn't reply me instantly, but after many touches, she took her hands off the old woman's stomach and looked at me."She needs a few treatment and will be okay. Good thing you found her in time. We will need to give her some drips and few drugs and she will bounce back to normal." The nurse said and I sighed."So, how much does all that cost?" I asked in fear. Knowing fully well, I had no cash on me."That will be $3000.84 sir." She said with a smile.Immediately she said that huge amount of money. I felt my heart skip. Mehn! I was broke, so broke I couldn't afford $50 right now. And here you are, telling me about $3000? Mehn! Am fucked. Many thoughts began running through my mind as I stood at one spot, calculating and thinking on what to do. I noticed how strange the nurse looked at me, but I didn't bother about tha
.....She smiled and stared at the place for a while."Is this the place you brought me too, for treatment?" She asked me, looking really serious, but a smile was on her face the next minute I stared at her."Yes, yes ma. I couldn't think of anywhere of else." I answered looking so stupid in front of her.Was this supposed to be the first thing to say? Waking up and knowing your life was saved by an unknown man, were you supposed to thank him? Or ask some shit questions. I was disappointed, and unhappy at this moment. Any more word from her, my anger would explode and she won't like the outcome of it."Of course. You won't be able to think of some place better, when an old womans life is in danger. Thank you so much my boy. I am indepted too you." She said, grabbing my hands.Finally, she said something better and heart touching. I was expecting her too say some other trash, but guess she knew what she was doing. Now we can talk more."Its, it's, it's really, really fine ma'am. I mean
Chapter 13....New YorkEast Alley.Outside Donnie's ShopRite."Look...", I started as I got into the car, sitting next to May in the front seat. "I know I messed up but I can make things right.""How?", May asked as she rolled eye balls to the side , she was really mad at me but what to do?"I'm going to find him."Just then May faced with the same pained look and uttered. "How in the world do you plan on finding him? you barely know were he possibly is right now so how do you intend ---""Slow down would you." I said , stopping her in her track, before I proceeded. "You have a friend who can track people down right? how about we talk to him to help us out."May dropped her folded arms and sighed, there was a bit of tranquillity in the car before May exhaled her breath and looked at me. "Well ...I'm not sure if Tyson is in East Alley at the moment.""Yeah Tyson but how do you know he isn't around? have you even tried calling him?""Oh relax, I will call him but still I don't think i
Chapter 14.East Alley, New York.The Ayos’ Home.Laura's POV.I had dropped May at her home last night before heading back to mine. I clearly remembered her canceling her flight and a lot of other things. The door to my room suddenly opens with my mother walking in with breakfast designated on the tray. "And there's my princess.""Good morning mother.", I greeted, trying to keep my hatred aside but God knows I can't because her and my dad ruined my life already.She sits next to me with the tray hosting different meals. I wonder if she expects me to finish them all. I am not ready to become nearly fat like her."Are all this for me? or are you taking some to dad?""No dear. All these are for you.""For me?" I glanced at the food and her and placed it aside and got up from the bed. I was still in the same beautiful night gown of since yesterday. I hadn't change it yet."Dear won't you eat?""No.", I declined heading to my wardrobe to fetch a towel. "I am not eating anything now, you
Chapter 15."He's with me.", the voice spoke again and my eyes caught the guards ceased. They kept mute and washed away their mocking faces. I was about to turn around to see who it was but then, the figure walked pass me and straight up to the guards. "Do you have problem?"'Who is he? he looks classy and rich. He must also live here.', I thought. The way the guards backed away from their previous spot. "N..N...N... No... we have no problem sir. We thought---""Get the damn gates open!." , I heard him beam out loud, his voice sent them running to open the gates. He was clad in a black tuxedo with black shades sheathing is identity. He turned back and gestured me to come along. Not to far from us was... a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+!!!. My body grew goosebumps in an instant. This car cost $4 Million Dollars!. "Woah... Erm, sir. Is that your car?""Ha, yes. It mine. What's the matter?""Nothing actually , I have never seen it before except on TV... damn! I can't believe it in my
May turned quickly to see who it was and to her dismay, it was a handsome young man in normal house cloths and cross bag on. The individual was Tyson Rickson. His blue eyeballs probed the ladies at the doorstep of his apartment.Instantly he realize it was May and the other one was probably Laura."Oh hey...it you two. What are you doing here?"Laura slowly turned and was shocked when she saw Tyson. But she ignored and wore her serious self. "Where have you been?""Well I just went on an errand, that's all. But that doesn't answers my question. Why are you two here?", he implored, he wasn't giving an friendly countenance. "I need your help.", Laura answered."Why would you need my help?""Because I do."Tyson walked over to his door and brought out the apartment keys. "Anyways what's the matter?" he inserted into key hole and unlocked the doorLaura and May exchange glances.... ..."So Daniel left, willingly , not like he was forced to leave or something.", Tyson uttered after Laur
"Young man... what your name again?""Daniel?""Yeah, Daniel!. To Mrs. Potts , you aren't a commoner. No human would have ever done what you did for her.""Why? what makes you say that?""I have witnessed such situations. You know I was shocked at first but later I realized few things. The poor will always want to get into the riches court and snatch from them , or go far to make the rich Court's theirs. But you , you are a rare gem.","Oh but sir.""Call me Nicholas, no need for the sir.""Ermm, alright.", Daniel felt uneasy. He needed to go back home before Dean gets suspicious about his whereabouts and he wasn't sure what Jenny was going to tell him or even his uncle if he returned."Mrs. Potts wants to employ you---""Me? she doesn't even knows me. Why would she just offer me a job?""If you would just let me finish.""Oh sorry, continue."Nicholas sighed and continued. "Mrs. Potts ain't doing well and she needs someone to handle her business for while she rest.""Wait... me? what
