Jessica arrived home from her workplace. She was looking quite worried and tired. Her mood had swung to something unexplainable to herself since she left Mr. Isaac's office today. The mood was a mix of sadness, frustration, and confusion.The discussion they had about David had brought the image of the young man back to her mind. For a while now, she had been trying to get rid of his image. If not for anything else, at least she had discovered that he already had a partner.The problem was not just the image in her head, but there were also thoughts about the attractive man that had been lingering in her heart for some time.Sitting on a couch in her living room, she was unaware that she had left her present world behind as she had dived into another world in a faraway planet, lost in deep thought.'What's wrong with you, Jessy?' she questioned her mind.After questioning herself, she began to reply.'I never thought that the love of a man could bring these mixed emotions back after b
After a while in the city, a jaw-dropping article was published. The article was about the Wendy family.What have the Wendy family done for their family name to be published in an article?There has been a lot of buzz about the family since the article broke the internet.The article reads,"THE WENDY FAMILY IS THE MOST CRUEL FAMILY IN GLOVER CITY.An article was posted sometime ago about David Anderson, the son-in-law of the Wendy family, being missing. To date, there hasn't been a source that confirmed he has been found.To the surprise of the public, the Wendy family has not made any attempt to find the innocent young man while they continue to live their lives with peace and joy.However, the general public hereby declares the Wendy family as the most cruel and inhumane family in the city."In an instant, the article had spread all over the city with the power of the internet. There were several different comments under the post.Some of the comments were,"This is too bad from t
After Elena was able to escape Patrick's rage, she headed out of the villa and stopped a cab."The City Market," she announced as she entered.Closing the passengers' door and using the seat belt, she accidentally exchanged glances with the cabbie through the rear mirror.His eyes had a disdainful look. Irritated, Elena shifted her gaze away from the mirror, wondering if the look was actually for her or if he caught sight of something else instead."This is none of my business but still my business, anyway. Are you a member of the most cruel family too, or did you just come to visit them?" the cabbie questioned as he kick-started the car engine.Elena wasn't expecting that he was talking to her, as she was just looking out the window as the vehicle drove off.Amidst the view, her brain brought the picture of the scene between her and her brother.'Patrick meant to stone me with the heavy table? What if I hadn't run for my life?' she thought.'It seems he had truly reached the edge of
Elena had come to the market to get some foodstuffs and traditional medicines to help Granny's health.She had to come to the market herself because all their maids had stylishly left the villa one after the other since all the problems had started happening to them.Nothing made them stop working at the villa, if not for the delay in salary payment till it metamorphosed into owing of salary. They had been delayed in paying the maids their salaries since the Wendy family did the anniversary party.The Wendy Group wasn't earning so well, so they were unable to pay the maids on time. Since then, the maids had been quitting their jobs without even informing any of the family members.The following month after the anniversary, they were unable to make the payment at all. Since the maids also had little idea about the fire burning on top of the family's roof, they took a better step, a step that would benefit their lives, which was quitting the job.Since then, the villa had gradually beco
"Elena, what's going on? Are you in a dreamland?" She questioned herself in a low tone with her heart burning so badly. She was already at the verge of tears. She couldn't believe the embarrassment the lady gave her just now was happening in the same world she had been living in since she was born."Elena, that was an utmost embarrassment to you." Her voice was filled with so much pity as the tears nearly down her eyes."Am I expected to cry? No, I can't." She was helping herself with some little courage while her voice was already shaking. She might burst into tears anytime soon.Her walking steps had become unexplainable as she was plugging in leg into leg. Her walking steps were quite faster but it wasn't as fast as that. She might fall if she's not careful. If not that she's still needed to walk, she would have substituted the leg for something else to do the walking. The embarrassment had really made her freeze out, the shock had held her legs more tightly.At this point she even
David was in his room when he heard constant notification sounds coming up on his phone.He reached for his phone to check what the continuous notification was about. To his surprise it was an eye-popping video.A video of his mother-in-law being embarrassed out of a market with a crowd behind her, wailing at her."What?! I hope she hasn't done anything bad," David sounded slightly sympathetic. Elena should have been like a mother to him, but she never chooses that. Instead, she made herself one of the toughest enemies for David.David had his whole attention on the video as he focused more on it, trying to figure out her offense. But unfortunately, he didn't hear anything related to any offense she committed. The only thing he was hearing was, "Chase her away!" "We don't want to see you here if you fail to provide our benefactor."All these things were confusing to David. He couldn't even connect it with anything that seems like a crime."What are they talking about?" "Who is their b
During the time that David went to the market to get the gift, The City Market was just newly opened. At that time, the market was hunting for more customers to come around to patronize them.So, they picked up an idea, which was seeking advice from a few customers who came around on how to make the market the choice of the people despite the competition with other big markets in the city.Any customer who is able to provide helpful advice will be given the chance to take any expensive goods of his choice for any amount he wished to pay for it.On this day, David was approached, and they asked for his suggestion, despite that he was poorly dressed. There was much concern about the outcome of his suggestion and not his outfit.With a quick thought, he began."I will commend that The City Market has the potential to become a very popular and vast market in a short time. The reason behind my point is that it's not a market that sells just a single or selected product but it's a market th
Elena was sitting on the super polished tiled floor of Granny's living room, crying so badly. All her family members were around her looking at her with so much pity.Elena had been unable to explain herself since she arrived. As soon as she wanted to make an attempt to explain. "I was.. It was..." She burst into another round of tears.The more she remembered how she was embarrassed out of the market, the more her tears welled up."We can't stand here and watch you cry till the day runs out, what happened?" Patrick voice had a touch of sympathy. He had erased the fact that she had used her ruthless tongue on him before she went out.That's the power of being a family. Nothing can be compared to a family bond.Elena at this time was trying to sniff back her tears so that she could explain herself. Alfred stretched a handkerchief to her, she collected it to wipe her tears and the mucus dropping down her nose.Despite that she had wiped her tears, her eyes were still looking so wet and
