The night came quickly than expected. Matilda was engrossed on her favorite show from Netflix, while sipping her alcohol."That's your second bottle tonight." Leonard warns."Stay out. I am trying to make myself happy, don't ruin it for me." Matilda warned and gulped the last part of the liquor. "Another one!" She yelled, getting tipsy already."You are drunk girl, I don't think you can go for another one." Leonard says, rushing up to meet her, and grabbing the bottle away from her."Give it back!" She yelled, trying to get the drink, but Leonard was much stronger than her. In the process of their squabble, she would trip both herself and Leonard unto the bed and stays on top."You have beautiful eyes." She compliments."Uhmm....Thanks... Why do I feel the alcohol is getting to your system?" Leonard questioned."Damn the alcohol! You are actually handsome and it such a pain knowing there things I really want to do to you from my sinister mind." Matilda states."What are you t
“Matilda Williams ,” the woman sitting opposite Matilda across the long mahogany table, called her name, a small smile on her slightly wrinkled face.“We are pleased to inform you that you have been hired.”Matilda 's heart sank in deep relief and she let out an exhale that she didn't know that she had been holding in for a while now. She rubbed her sweaty palms together and mirrored the woman as she rose up from her seat.“Congratulations.” The woman offered Matilda a handshake that she accepted.Although she never doubted herself for a second, it still felt like a dream to her that she had just gotten hired to work in the country's most luxurious hotel. Even though she never applied to work here because of the status of the company, to her, a win was still a win.“Thank you,” Matilda reciprocated the woman’s smile. “I am so honored to be given this opportunity. I promise, you won't regret this.”“You will be starting tomorrow, Miss. Williams ,” the woman fed Matilda more
The car pulled up to a grand mansion, one that looked straight out of a fairy tale. The driveway was lined with neatly trimmed hedges, and the front door was a massive, ornate structure.As they got out of the car, Matilda 's eyes were drawn to the details of the mansion. The floors were marble, the chandeliers were sparkling, and the furniture was made of the finest materials. It was all so luxurious, so extravagant. She wanted to look away, to not be impressed by such opulence, but she couldn't help herself.A guard led them through the massive front door, into guard led them through the massive front door and into a grand entryway. The floor was so shiny and clean that Matilda could see her reflection in it. She felt small, insignificant, in the face of such wealth and grandeur.The guard led them through the grand hallway and into a massive dining room. There, at the head of the table, was Leonard Anderson. He was dressed in a fine suit, his hair perfectly styled. He looked eve
When Leonard arrived at the slated restaurant, it was already minutes late and he hated the cold weather, which had propelled him to use a leather jacket. He looked around the whole place and found Ella seated at the edge, with the menu card in her hands."I was beginning to think that you wouldn't make it Vincent." Ella said, the moment Leonard arrives at the seat."Let's go straight to the point." Leonard demanded, but a hand gesture from Ella ordering him to stop, would force him to hold his horses."How about we act like civil humans and order meals and eat....think of it more like a date." Ella stated."I am not here for any stupid date. I came here with a note of warning to you. That stunt you pulled back there at my house yesterday, I don't want it to repeat itself." Leonard warned.Ella rolled her eyes and leaned back to the chair, staring at Leonard unfazed by any of his threat. "It pains me each time I realize that the only wrong I have ever done against you is simply loving
When Isaac arrived at his apartment, the weather had become warm once more and he turned on the air conditioner, while heading to his room to change into something simple. It was a long day and the night seemed to be a little bit long, he had hoped. However seeing some of the mess in the room got him pissed. When was Polly ever going to learn to arrange the entire house? He wondered.While he went down to get the pillows, he noticed something unfamiliar. He looked to see Polly's slippers at the front of his bathroom. Polly never used his bathroom before, so what was going on? He wondered as he made his way, slowly and silently to the door of the bathroom, where he leaned closer to get a grasp of what was happening.The shower was running and it appeared that someone was having their bath. The moment he opened the door, Isaac yelled out at the top of the voice as the scene of horror displayed itself right before his eyes.He was staring at the lifeless body of Polly, who appeared to h
Leonard was surprised by how horrified she looked. It was clear that whatever was going on in her mind regarding Ella , must have brought her terrible traumas."I just need big information regarding her whereabouts. I need to understand that she is okay." Leonard lied through his teeth. He noticed the woman looking everywhere and then leaned forward to his side, apparently with the intent to tell him something. "Ella was a crazy girl. When we discovered anomaly with her, we had to transfer her to the hospital, where she was given a therapist to stay with." Leonard froze for a second. All thoughts about Ella flying through the course of his head.It was no wonder she acted strange. He thought to himself."Can I know where this therapist lives?" Leonard asked and almost immediately, the woman pulled her phone out and looked through the contact and handed it over to him."That's her number." She revealed and Leonard copied the contact on his phone, thanked the woman and left the buildi
Leonard couldn't take any of what the therapist was saying to him any longer. He wanted to be away from that place, he needed to reach out to his wife. "I will uhmm, I will be on my way." He announced and got up and left the room, even as the therapist wished to explain something to him. As he pulled into his car, he tried ringing Matilda 's line, but it wasn't going through and the moment he turned on the ignition of his car, he heard a beep on the phone and checked through. He gasped the moment he noticed Matilda on the bed all asleep.It wasn't something bad, but the reality that it was an anonymous individual who had taken that photo horrified him. There was only one person, who could pull such a thing and that was Elena .Leonard drove through the road like a raging bull. If anything happened to Matilda , he was willing to find Elena and kill her. When he arrived at his apartment, Leonard got down from the vehicle and rushed to the house, yelling out Matilda 's name. The m
Though he employed a new important staff without her acknowledgement, she wasn't going to just sack him. What were the other staff going to think of her?The company wasn't her private life where she would behave anyhow.But why on earth does it have to be the stranger she met in the elevator.Trying, her day was cursed.Everything gave her a headache.Matilda looked up at Leonard with disgust. Their first meeting wasn't okay and sacking him might give up the wrong message. And if he tells everyone what she had done, social media won't haste."Can I have your papers?" Matilda requested but Leonard 's frown has become his new mask."I hope you know, all documents are being submitted so, they should be on your desk." Leonard said angrily. " What is your name?" Matilda asked as she flipped through some documents.Even Roxie wanted to act because she didn't understand why her friend was being harsh to the new staff. She wondered but only kept staring suspiciously.Matilda on the
