"James! James!" Rachel called out to her son who was playing his video games with gusto. He was playing video games to the extent that he forgot what had just happened to him.Rachel could only lament in silent regret. She knew she was to blame in James's attitude. Always spoiling him and allowing him to do whatever he wanted. He was her lovely baby after all and gave him everything she could. It was truly inevitable that he would grow up spoilt and irresponsible.She barged into his room and yanked the headset from his head and turned off the screen in the same breath."What the fuck mum! Why did you do that? I was winning!" James screamed suddenly at his mother in anger. There was even a bit of craze in his eyes as he glared at Rachel.Rachel felt a bit startled but quickly regained her composure. "I don't give a shit about if you're winning or not you idiot!" She threw the headset on the bed in his room and pulled him up by the ears and dragged him out of the room."Ouch ouch... Th
Darius sat on the edge of the table in his office while facing the window. He was sipping a hot cup of coffee as he gazed outside the video with a smirk on his face.Beside him, Alicia was seated on the chair cross legged as she also toyed with her cup of hot coffee."It's good to see that you're finally doing what you planned to do." Alicia said. Darius had just finished telling her about what he had been doing to his father and his family. Alicia couldn't help but be amazed at Darius' brutality."I'm not even started yet.. it's going to be well served. This is still an introduction to what horrors I will be showing them soon enough." Darius replied.Alicia looked at Darius closely. Darius had not changed much since the time she first met him. He had even begin to look like an impoverished workaholic. Especially since he took on the role of the CEO of the Charlton Company like his grandfather told him to do."You know you should take care of yourself Darius. It's good for you to take
Five minutes later. James was getting impatient and so he stood up and approached the security guard in an aggressive manner."Where is he?" He asked blatantly."Have your seat sir. The manager will be with you shortly." The guard replied with an indifferent face. James rolled his eyes and went to seat down. He kept waiting and looking at the people who moved into and out of the building.James had this arrogant but displeased expression on his face as he sat and simply waited. He started getting more annoyed as the minutes ticked by.Ten minutes later he stood up again to confront the security guard but he received the same answer. A vein popped up on James's head due to the anger he was experiencing at the moment. But he had no choice to go and seat back down.After a few minutes of huffing in anger, he took out his phone and started playing mobile games. Before he knew it, he came deeply immersed in the game. He played so much that he lost track of time since he had even plugged hi
"Where are my video games?" James asked the moment his mother came into his view with trembling fists. All the rage that had been suspended while he slept reared its head again like a possession.Rachel just gave James an indifferent gaze and looked at him closely. "Have you been given your job back?" She asked in return. James blinked in mild surprise and wanted to retort her question."Wh.. what do you mean 'given my job back'? I... I asked you a question first!" He blurted out in stutter.Rachel frowned. It was as she had feared. James was back to being jobless. It didn't bode well with Rachel one bit. It was a bad turn of events. Her mind raced with thoughts about what this could mean for both of them.She thought about different things that they could do to fix the mess she and James had fallen into. James didn't think about giving her that time to think."Where did you take them to mom?" He demanded with a shout once again in fury. He felt that his mother was being sneaky and av
"Please, let me in." James pleaded.It was some days later. James had been coming to the Charlton Company everyday to demand his job back. It was not voluntarily, it was because his mother never allowed him to rest and neither did she return the devices he used for his video games."You must get that job back James. Isn't that what you arrogantly promised to do? Are you going to be jobless just like your father?" Rachel said to him one of the days he came back without a result.This always made James ashamed, angry and full of resentment. He was ashamed because he and proudly condemned his Father Robert for losing his company in a single day just like that. He was starting to understand that nothing like that was ever simple.He was angry at his mother for taking his prized possessions away and stashing them somewhere secret, he knew what she was very capable of doing. He had tried to even look for them for came back with no results every time he tried to'She'll fucking sell it all!
'The patient dog eats the fatest bone.' There was such a saying that people commonly said. It was usually to encourage a person to be more patient and not rush into doing things because being patient might bring the beat results.Most interprete the saying to mean that one should sit still while good things are available to be taken. What happens when the good stuff runs out? There'd be no bone left at all for the patient dog and he'll probably due of hunger.But patience is not just waiting. It is the diligent approach to get something that one is after. The patient man looks for the best opportunity and goes after the best things that are available. That's patience.Can such a thing be said about Robert Featherington?He had been holes up in his house since they day he lost his company and his wife and son abandoned him but did not abandon his car. They had taken it with them. He hadn't been able to follow them because of the fear and embarrassment that he felt.His debts right now
James felt uncomfortable with the way Robert was looking at him. He doubted his father would be so easily forgiving to he and his mother after they abandoned him and took his car as they ran away from him.James stepped inside the house just because he had no choice but he felt uneasy by the way Robert looked at him."So, my dear wife." Robert spoke sarcastically. "Tell me really... What made you change your mind and come back to my house?" He asked the Rachel who had a stubborn expression on her face."What do you mean I changed my mind? I was always planning to return. And don't I have the right to be here as your wife?" She answered immediately.Robert felt a little anger from inside him when Rachel spoke in that manner. She was talking with no single sense of guilt or remorse. It was an entitled manner that vexed Robert to the bones."Oh... You're claiming rights after you left without so much as a word. You also took my car and ran away with it you thief!" Robert said with an inc
"Can someone tell me what is going on here?" Robert roared in confusion. He was having a peaceful day and was about to go to his house to relax and have a nice evening when these bunch of policemen cuffed him up and were dragging him into their car without an explanation."Please don't resist. It won't be comfortable for you if you do." One of the men behind Robert said. Not answering his question."Answer my question!" Robert demanded. "why the hell are you cuffing me up and trying to take me away? I have my rights!" He said with a raised voice that was getting angry at the men."Oh?..." A man in suit and glasses approached Robert from the car. "Don't pretend like you didn't know this day was going to come eventually after everything you've been doing here." He said as he looked at Robert.He was quite talk and moved closer to Robert who had to look up a bit. "What an actor you are." He said with an appraising gaze."What do you mean by everything I've done?" Can't you see I'm runnin
