Taron just rounded up with the names of people he was ticking that he would work with for the year. The owners of the companies he wanted to collaborate with, that is, and he was looking forward to an hour of sleep, rest that he truly deserved when his mother barged into his bedroom without bothering to knock. “Taron dear!” Eloise exclaimed. “I’m going to the mall to get a few things for myself in the new house, you should come and we would go together.” Taron facepalmed himself. “No, I don’t want to.” “Are you shy? You know that there would be a lot of girls there, don’t you want a girlfriend?” Taron closed his eyes tightly as his mother continued to ramble on. “I don’t want any of that, mom, I just want to sleep.” Taron said gently, doing his best to not yell at his mother. “But you might see things that you’d like, why don’t we just go and you’d know if—” “I already said no, don’t push it.” Taron raised the covers over his head, his mother was still as fussy as ever.
It had been three days since Taron’s mother went missing, and there was still no sign of her. Her phone, which they had been calling and trying to use to track her down turned up in front of the house the day after Taron called the police and got them involved in the matter. “Are you here?” Rob asked his friend. “I’ve been talking to you for over thirty minutes and you’ve not been listening, I even asked a question.” Taron looked at Rob. He was not ready to listen to him, but for old time’s sake and for true friendship, he sighed. “I’m sorry, my mind has not been in the right place, and I’ve got about half an hour free, what’s going on?” Taron asked. “Well, so I was going about my business in my brother’s house, right?” Rob asked, looking at Taron. “How do you expect me to know? I wasn’t with you.” Rob shrugged. “Well, yes, but I was going about my business, and then someone rang the doorbell,” Rob said. “I got to the door, and guess who I saw there.” “Greta Hamilton?” Ta
The bell rang and Selena hurriedly got up. "I'll get it!" She exclaimed. Taron relaxed in his seat. "Whether you get it or not, as long as they've been scanned clean, then they would be allowed in." Taron said. Taron was waiting for Anthony to bring his mother to him, just as he had promised, and Selena, apparently, did not think that it was right to leave Taron 'to stay all by himself'. Not that Taron had asked for her help or company or anything, she just decided to stay with him. Eloise walked into the house, flanked by Anthony. “Finally, I’m back home.” Eloise sighed. Taron hurriedly got up to help his mother sit down. “Got a real tough woman on your hands, son.” Anthony said to Taron, causing him to frown. Taron did not like the fact that this man was calling him that, even if he knew that it was not all that serious. “They did so many unspeakable things to me,” Eloise’s voice shook as she spoke, shocking Taron. He had only heard his mother’s voice shake when his fat
Rob had just finished with all he had to do and decided to leave. He hated office work anyway. After he picked up his bag, he pulled on the door, whistling a catchy tune. The door did not open, it was jammed somehow, and the keys were even with him. Rob wondered how that worked, but it did not sit well for him as his claustrophobia started closing in on him, and all he could do was fumble around his person for his phone. Perfect time for the emergency line to not be working, which it was not. That seemed strange to Rob, he knew that the line always worked because a bunch of people had called and asked someone at the help centre to get him some food from the restaurant right across the street. Rob tried calling their number one more time, just to be sure. The call did not go across, and Rob decided to take calming breaths, and then sit down to think about how he was going to be able to get out of his office. And, if someone noticed his absence, then they would surely go and look for h
"Fuck!" Rob exclaimed as he was able to kick the door down. Looking back at the fallen door as he went outside, he contemplated if it fell as a result of his brute strength, or maybe it had weakened already. Not that he mattered. He was rich now, thanks to Taron. He could easily buy a better door. All he had to do was get out of the building. Staying there for so long had creeped him out that he did not think he would be back inside any day soon. "Sir, I thought you had gone home since." Rob did not know the name of this worker, but he was dressed as a cleaner. Rob shrugged. "Had a few mishaps on the way, it's fine." "What?" The cleaner asked. Rob shook his head. Even he didn't understand what he had just said. "Never mind, forget that I said anything to you." Rob said and walked out of the office. The image of the bloodied knife appeared in his head, causing him to sink mentally. Rob hoped that that was the last of such threats he would ever see. He did not mind online thre
“Where is my mother? Where are her guards?” Taron burst out in anger. It seemed like Eloise McCarthy had wanted to make Taron having almost heart attacks a regular thing. “Sir,” Jonas said. “her guards went with her, she. Said that she would not be too long.” Taron nodded and looked around at the rest of the guards. “If she doesn’t come back in two hours, contact her guards to make sure that she is okay. Taron went back in to his study. He had a lot of things to do, and since he was already assured of his mother’s safety, he felt that he could go back to doing other things. After just a quick text, that is. ‘Why did you leave the house without telling me?’ He typed out and sent to his mother. She had a habit of not replying texts, so Taron did not check his phone after that. An incoming call came in, it was his transport company that was supposed to be in charge of him moving to his new house. “Yes?” Taron answered the call. “We’re sorry about the delay, sir, the truck had
Selena had thrown up twice today. And no, it was not because she was pregnant, it on her period or anything like that. It was because she had received the most sickening news she had heard all day. Selena had made her way to Taron’s office as fast as she could and wondered if Taron had heard. She had been crying all day. “Go up, go up, go up.” She muttered as she the elevator went up in the slowest way ever and wiped the tears from her eyes.- “So, you’d be moving far away now and I’d only have to see you online?” Rebecca asked Taron and he shrugged. “I don’t know, we’d have to see about all that.” Taron replied. “I have something to confess.” Rebecca said and hesitated. Taron noticed the unease on her face. “If you can’t say it now, it’s alright.” “It’s about Selena, she— she—” Taron stood up beside her, causing her to look up from where she stood. The manner in which Taron towered over Rebecca made her feel tingles in her body. The good kind. Taron patted her head. “Ge
Taron looked disheveled. After hearing of the death of his friend, things took a wild turn for him. It was just like when his father had died all over again, and Taron could not stand it. Eloise had tried her best to help Taron overcome his sorrows, but she could not do much. She did not even know Taron well enough to be there for him during his sad moments. “Taron dear, I’m sorry, I know he was your friend and it hurts you too much, but you’re hurting us with the way you’re acting, please, come back for our sake.” She would say each time she passed his study. Taron was always awake and alert and silent, but Rob’s death took Taron’s silence to a whole other level. His voice had not been heard by most of the people in his household for days, and Selena and his secretary, Rebecca kept on calling him and sending him texts to know if he was fine. And Taron was fine. No, really, he was. He was just trying to process things. How that idiot who had been full of life just had the life an
