"Imagine if that boy who's being bullied is being asked to give a speech in class. Every single time he has a chance to speak, he makes sure he always speaks about these friends of his.He doesn't speak of what they do to him, instead he praises them for being a good friend, and a great friend. What do you think will happen to those guys in the long run?""They are going to get tired of bullying him, and it's also going to draw attention from other course mates, and the lecturers," Nathan replied."Which would automatically make them stop bullying him, because eyes would definitely be on them. Other kids would want to know what's special about them, and it would in a way, decrease the bully or either stop it," Layla replied.Alistair, who was seated in their midst, clapped his hands, "I have great friends, and they are also intelligent. Now think about this when it comes to The Wilde's family, don't include Mr. Charlie.What do you think is going to happen to them, when I continually
Oliver walked into his office feeling tired, and famished, he had a long and stressful day. He sat down and the door of his office was opened. He smiled when he saw her walk into his office, "Kathy.""My love, my god you look so tired, and stressed out, what's going on?" She asked as she moved towards his table, and she sat down on his table. "Cathy, come on, how many times do I have to tell you not to sit down on my table. The best place to sit down is on my lap."She chuckled, "I am aware of that, but at the same time, I didn't lock the door. You and I both know, this relationship of ours is a joke. If I have to sit on your lap, then the door has to be locked.""Come on what are you saying, even if someone sees us together, the best they can do is to talk, nothing else," he replied as he got up on his feet.She rolled her eyes, "That's because of the position of your father, you know if we are seen together. I will lose my job, but you are still going to be employed right?"This mad
Elara was shocked, "One condition? What condition is that?""You won't misplace it, that's the condition, I am not trying to say you are careless, that's not what I am trying to say. But it's just a call for you to be serious about it, that's it," Oliver replied.Elara nodded her head, with a beautiful smile on her face, "Don't worry, I am not going to misplace it. I know you have up to three to five black cards.""What?" Cathy muttered shocked, loud enough for Elara to say, "You didn't do that right?" Elara asked, looking around."No I didn't, I also heard that, it looks like there's a ghost here listening to our discussion," Oliver replied looking around. Cathy held her mouth, trying to stop her laughter from coming out loud."A ghost? You mean you have a ghost in your office?" Elara asked, getting shocked.He nodded his head, "You know I have been thinking about changing this office, but at the same time, I don't want anyone to go through what I went through. That's many reasons w
Mark decided to go over to the bar to spend some time alone, he just wanted to be alone, far from anyone who knows him. He strolled into the bar, and walked to the far side of the bar.He sat down, nodding his head to the beat of the music that was being played, the bar was bubbling, men and women with different partners. Others came alone or had a drink, some were working in the bar, with their laptop's on the table, and an earpiece connected to their ears.He sat down waiting for one of the waiters to walk towards him, instead of moving to the bartender table to grab a drink. He sat down and exhaled, jamming to the music.He waved to some guys who lived in the same Estate he lived in, even when he tries to get away from everyone, he still finds himself among people he knows. He raised his hands signaling a waiter that wasn't far from him, she nodded her head and walked towards him."Good evening sir, hope you are having a great time, please what would you like to have as you spend
Fiona was seated in her room, trying to meditate, this was one of her daily practices every afternoon. It helps her calm down, and it makes her day less strenuous.According to her, it's definitely one of the ways she develops strength for the activities that come with the afternoon, and night. Mr. Starling opened the door of her room without knocking, and he sat down on the couch.He didn't say a word to her, he didn't want to be the reason why she's not being able to get what she wants to get through meditation. Mr. Starling gaze traveled around her room, as he took inventory of everything, and he left the same way he came, quietly.When he stepped out of her room, he sent a message to one of his boys, I think it's time I get something new for my daughter's room. Here's a list of the things you have to get, and I want them delivered as soon as possible.He sent the list, and returned his phone to his pocket. He looked at her, and was about to walk away when he heard her soft feminin
Mr. Sterling laughed, "I see, you already know a lot about me, well it's fine, it's great that I have a daughter who's not oblivious of who I am, and what I do. That in a way is going to help me a lot in dealing with certain things in the future.You know there are certain people who have no idea about what their parents engage in, and it keeps them away from the realities of life. But I am not here to talk about that, I have more pressing issues than that," he paused looking at Fiona."Come on daughter, what's with that look, you don't have to give me that mean look, you could have just spoken up to say you are damn tired of my rants," he replied as he sat up, and straightened his sleeves."You know I can't do that right? It's not how you trained me, have you forgotten how you trained my brother and I? You trained us like African kids who don't have the right to speak when their parents are speaking.We can only speak when it's our time to do so, and you know what I mean by that righ
"Really? A huge lie at that? Come on, you are going to find happiness with him, he's a great guy. He's not a playboy, and I am dead sure he's definitely going to take good care of you, what else do you need?""What else do I need?" She asked, as she stood up, "Well I need a man, who's in love with me, one who cherishes me, one who understands me. I need a man who loves me for who I am, I need a man who I am going to get into a relationship with, not because my father pushed me into doing it.But because we both fell in love with each other, without any form of external influence, I am sure you understand what I mean right?"Mr. Starling exhaled, "Yeah I understand what you mean, you want what we call true love. Love without any form of infiltration right? Something supernatural from nature, great from the simplest of things, right?"Fiona nodded her head, "Exactly that's what I want, I don't want a love founded on the basis or foundation of families trying to stay relevant. I don't wa
Fiona sat down on her bed, thinking about what her dad said to her, he was right, but she was still finding it hard to accept the truth. Getting married to Alistair seems promising, but he wasn't the one her heart yearns for.It was Nathan her heart wanted, yeah just like her father said, there was no possibility that they might even do life together for long. Due to the nature of his job, he was tasked with protecting citizens, and also protecting himself.Unlike Alistair, who has people protecting him, at the same time, she couldn't deny how crazy life was. The person everyone thinks might end up living younger due to certain factors, might in a way die first.It's just life, and there's nothing that can be done about it, the best you can do is to play your part. She exhaled and got off the couch, and walked to the verandah, "Nathan, I know you can't hear me, but things are difficult for me to handle. I badly want to talk to you, but I don't get why you don't return my calls, or rep
