The first thing that hit her nostrils and summoned around her like a warm hug was the aroma of sizzling meat and still simmering stews when she entered the well decorated restaurant. Her stomach made a low rumble as if wanting the food immediately. Her twin was so used to making her run errands when it came to food, bless her soul. Not that she had a choice not to, her father was always backing up her twin as long as she come up with an excuse.Scanning the whole restaurant, she couldn't help but open her mouth in awe. This was where her sister frequently came to, which meant she has been enjoying. A young man who had s mop of unruly brown hair and a lopsided smile walked towards her."Good evening, beautiful," he greeted, his voice was as smooth as butter. "Table for one tonight?"If not that her sister had told her about the restaurant's flirtatious staff, she would have given the guy something he would not like. "Actually, it's for a very demanding patient who happens to be my si
The loud whirl of the fan was the first thing that she heard before she felt something vibrate on her king sized bed. Without opening her eyes, she began to use her left hand to search frantically for her phone, which was obviously the cause of the disturbance. The vibration stopped immediately her hand found the phone under the heap of clothes that she had dropped on the bed earlier. Struggling to open her eyes, she peeped to check the caller ID and let out a loud groan. Not wanting to be disturbed again, she tried to switch off her phone, still half asleep. Her phone resumed vibrating again, and the shock of it caused her to pick. “Matilda Anna Montez, how many times have I told you to call me as soon as you are off the plane? Tell me how many times?” Matilda groaned inwardly, stretching the phone away from her ears as her mother's voice boomed loudly through the phone. It was only her mother that took delight in calling her by her full name, the whole thing and she mostly call
Matilda stared at Mia for a second, trying to process what her best friend had just said about the Erasmus man...."You know saying such a thing without evidence against a man of such nature is very dangerous right?" She lowered her voice, trying to allow no one else here their conversation."Look, the rumours in this city are always true and if what they say about Erasmus being a rapist is real, then I think I would be justified." Matilda was about to say something, but a sudden uproar behind them had cut her shut.They both watched as a man engaged his partner in a heated argument, before eventually pouring a milkshake on his head. Matilda felt pity for the innocent woman and even though Mia warned her not to move from her seat, she felt the urge to go console her.While taking a seat beside the woman, Matilda was about to speak her first word, when she felt her phone buzz through her purse. She excused herself and pulled out the phone to see what was happening. It turned out to be
"We have found critical information about the sister Lucy and apparently, she is admitted in the infamous Star hospital." Wiles listened attentively as his informant spoke on the phone."How many guards are with her?" Wiles asked."Guards? There is no security threat boss, it's almost like the man forgot he had a sister." Hearing those words gave Wiles a glimpse of hope. It was the perfect plan to have to end his sister and destabilize the new heir."Very well then, wait for me right there and I and the men would be with you in a minute." It was the moment he had been waiting for, it almost felt like things were meant to happen this way for him to do all he needed to do.Wiles attempted ringing Erasmus, but the line wasn't going through and this made him believe that his boss would have call the shot on Lucy.Heading outside the apartment, some of his men were outside and together they got into the long black vehicle. Wiles had one thing in mind and that was to end it up on one clean
“The maid told me that you haven’t been touching your food. Do you want to die?” Erasmus asked his gaze on the direction of the food. “Death is more pleasurable at this point than living.” Victoria replied with ease. Erasmus realized that she seemed to have given up and at this point a mere killing of Victoria would simply be in her favor. He didn’t want to kill Victoria, he wanted Victoria to suffer so much pain.“You really think I am going to persuade you to eat your food? If you starve to death, it is your choice.” Erasmus finished off and left the dungeon afterwards.Once Erasmus was out of sight, Victoria realized that he didn’t have human sympathy. It was slowly beginning to appear to her that Erasmus would be the first person to celebrate her death. At first, Victoria had believe death would be the ultimate price for all her suffering, but she refused that option, when she realized that she had Maverick to live for. Victoria knew that she wasn’t going to die and allow hi
When Leonard and Mia arrived at Leonard’s mansion, Lauren the cook, was shocked to see both of them entering into the living room. She had presumed that Leonard would be in another city at the moment, and never expected it to be other wise. Mia dropped to the couch the moment and breath in relief. It has been a very hectic day for her and seeing that she was in one peace was one of the biggest thing she had wished for in a long time. “You look really un kept Mia.” She opened her eyes to see that Leonard was staring at her. “I don’t mean it to be some sort of insult, but you need to get yourself clean.”Mia totally understood his point and decided to take his advice. Leonard directed her to the guest room and while she was taking her bath, Leonard directed several other maids to get good female clothes for Mia, once she was done taking her bathe. Leonard proceeded to the kitchen, where she found the old woman cooking and for some odd reason, he was confused as to whether Mrs. Lauren
Leonard and Mia were back at the black mustang, when Mr. Walter; Leonard’s friend called and he picked immediately.“Leonard, I got your message from Levi. What is the problem?” Mr. Walter asked.“I am in danger.” Leonard revealed.“Don’t you worry; ensure your phone is still on. I will have the boys track your location and would ensure that you are back here safely. Just hold on.” Mr. Walter announced.“Dad, I am in Erasmus’s danger….” Leonard indicated, but it was too late as his friend had already hanged up.While Leonard and Mia waited for the entourage to arrive, a knock came through Leonard’s car window and when he turned around, he realized the person to be one of Erasmus’s men with a gun in his hand.“Step out of the car now!” The soldier yelled and both Mia and Leonard had their hands up in their head. “No matter what happen, don’t open the door.” Leonard instructed Mia, before stepping out of the car.“You really think we would be fools to allow you both go, knowing you wil
Mia’s heart pounded in her chest as her vision focused and she came to the grim realization that there was a gun barrel pointed right in her face.“Get up,” she heard a gruff voice, and her eyes drifted to the owner of the hand that pointed the gun at her. It was a strange man that she had never met before.What was going on?She got up swiftly covering her chest with her bedsheet. She had been wearing only a rose colored satin nightgown to sleep.Mia’s eyes were fixed firmly on the man who was still aiming the gun at her. In her head lots of questions popped up that made her wonder if she had somehow entered the fucking twilight zone.Opening her mouth with the intent to ask the strange assailant what had brought this on, she jumped in fright as the man gestured to the door with the gun, circling her but thankfully keeping his distance.“Get walking now,” he ordered her and she scrambled to get her robe to at least keep herself decent while she did as the man asked.As soon as she le
