I hastily walked away from where Vera was standing, because I knew if I stayed around her for a second more,I might make a mistake I would forever regret.It took all the self-control I had to not run back and ask Vera to help me by lending me money.I know my Father, Mr Chase will never ask her what she spends money on so even if she gives me a thousand dollars he won't care to know what she used to money for, but going to ask Vera for money was like digging my own early grave because she would want to disgrace me just to make herself feel good.I would never understand what I did to this family, but I guess my coming into their family almost ruined it.I was so angry at the situation that it didn't even look at where I was going, my head dropped into a defeated position as I thought about the options I had left.I bumped into someone and I just continued walking."Hey man can't you even apologize!" I heard someone yell behind me and I continued walking without turning back to acknow
The atmosphere was tense as it was deadly silent, as all I could hear was the sound of crickets chirping.There was no one that I could call out to that could help me because it was still dark.I was panting heavily as I could feel my heart drumming in my chest as I was scared of that outcome this encounter would have.Even though the man was pointing a gun at me I didn't let the luggage go, my grip on the luggage might have loosened but the man did not try to drag it out from my hand.He was cautious of me,I think he was caught off guard by the fact that even though I was sleeping I still had such a strong hold on the luggage.The items inside this luggage were important to me. I can't lose them to a thief that won't know the importance of the items in the luggage.But I stopped to think, I can't possibly lose my life over a luggage, Dora, my late wife, would want me to remember her but she won't want me to lose my life over a luggage, I wanted to let it go when I suddenly remembered
I panicked and frantically looked for my luggage because that was the only belonging I had and memories of Dora were in the box."This luggage that my Father bought for me is giving me unnecessary trouble." I mumbled as I slammed my hand on the bed.Nothing my Father gives me brings good luck to me, I will get rid of that luggage when I find it.Since the room was small and I had looked around and I didn't see the luggage, I decided to ask the men in the room."Please did you see my luggage?" I asked no one in particular and nobody gave me a reply as expected. It felt as if they knew what was going on but they didn't want to say anything.I decided to take a more direct approach.I walked closer to the bed of the man next to me, he was sitting on his bed, writing down in a book."Excuse me, did you see who took my luggage?" I asked the man beside me and he glared at me."Stop bothering me can't you see I am working here! was I the one that told you to keep your luggage carelessly, do
The third man with me in the room began laughing and I looked at him. "Ignore him, he is a thief just like the fellow that left,birds of the same feathers flock together!" He spat out. "You should stay away from him if you know what's good for you." The man who helped me told me and I nodded in understanding. I don't need to be told that they were bad news, at least one of them was gone. "Thank you." I thanked him and he scoffed and stared me directly in the eye. "Dude don't thank me, I will turn my back on you the minute you become evil." He huffed and turned his back on me and I raised an eyebrow at his words. Even though I was confused by his words, I don't even want to ask what that means because I was tired. After dealing with that man I was drained of strength but I was also glad that I wasn't kicked out of the homeless shelter, but he was kicked out because this wasn't the first time he had done something like this. But you know people have this weird thing they do ,wher
My Boss sighed as he folded his hands and glared at meWas this guy being serious right now?This was insane, he was blaming me for something I didn't do.Yes I talked back to the woman ,but her leaving a bad review at the pizza place social media page wasn't my fault."Bruce you are always spacing out while on the job, you must have mixed up the pizza when making your delivery and the woman complained about how you talked back at her and you didn't accept your mistake. I am gonna have to let you go." He told me as he waved dismissively at me."Are you being serious right now?" I asked him angrily." You want to fire me when I wasn't the one that prepared the pizza?" I asked in a loud voice as I was baffled by his words."How could I even mix up the orders? Why hasn't anyone else complained about getting a wrong order today?" I asked him and he glared at me."Bruce, stop arguing with me,we have a good reputation until today and this is a family pizza place, I can't fire anyone here be
The words of the old man were confusing to me and I was sure if I had met him before, I would recognize him.I know I wasn't that smart but ,I can at least remember faces of people I have met before.The old man stared intently at me, it felt as if he was contemplating what to say next."Sir,I am sure I haven't seen you before,so do I know you, have we met before and I forget?" I asked the old man as I took a step closer to him and was about to take another step closer ,and his two bodyguards who stood motionlessly behind him glared at me and I stopped. I think they were looking at me in case I tried to harm the old man.I just wanted to walk closer to the old man in case he wasn't seeing me clearly, so he would know how to answer my question."No, I don't think we have met before." He confirmed my suspicion that we haven't met before."Oh I thought as much, I would know if I have met you before." I said as I took a step backwards and his bodyguard's eyes followed me.Damn!Do they
I frantically waved my hand."No sir, I am not running away from anyone." I reassured him."I just don't have any items worth packing, my whole belongings are in a backpack. That's all I need. The sooner I leave where I am staying the better for me." I explained to him, but he still seemed to be suspicious of me."Where are you staying that you want to run away from?" He asked me and I cringed."I can't say." I replied because I was a bit embarrassed to tell him I was staying in a homeless shelter ,when he has this fancy office just for himself.I felt beneath him already, opening up about where I was staying would make me feel like trash in his presence."It's just that the place I am staying at is not conducive for me to live in and my life is kind of in danger." I replied.I figured I could tell him I was not doing well without spitting out where I was staying."I see there's no need for you to explain further." He told me."What are you about your parents or family members?" He as
I looked at the man wearing a suit in front of me and gritted my teeth. I was offended by his words."Hey dude I don't know who you are or why you are insulting me, but you should leave me alone." I huffed at him and he returned it with a glare."Mr Dominic sure is getting old that he can't see talent in people anymore, he just picks up wannabes from the street and brings them to his mansion, let's see how long you last here, I bet you won't stay up to a week before you run away like a scaredy cat." He scoffed as he looked at me from head to toe."I don't have time for this, I need to rest." I said as I shrug off his words, I tried closing my door but he held onto it and pushed it open forcefully. It made me lose my hold on the door, and I staggered backwards.I stared wide-eyed at him, wow what brute strength."You don't have the right to slam the door in my face." He said in a warning tone as a smirk.I could clearly see that under the suit he was wearing, he was well built because
