The furious Carla stomped towards their table in anger.‘How dare he sit down there and smile with another woman when were in the verge of divorce?!’ This is the thought that fueled the anger in her mind as she was almost baring her teeth at them.She got to the table in a huff and her eyes were almost spitting fire. Darius just chuckled internally. It seemed like his plan was working. However, he did not show his pleasure on his face but kept looking at Carla with a straight face while she glared at him.She turned to look at Alicia and a hint of jealousy was shown on her face as she spoke in a voice close to shouting...“Who are you?” She first asked cautiously, she didn’t want to stir up trouble with someone she didn’t know. Many rich people these days didn’t really show off so it was easy to offend someone out higher status than you if you’re deceived into thinking you have a status that’s high enough.“Do I know you?” Alicia fired back with a show of irritation. “Who the hell are
Later that evening at Darius’s house, Darius was relaxing after the whole thing that happened with his wife.There was a faint smile on his face as he reminisced. Earlier when he had Alicia had left Carla in the restaurant and entered her car, they both burst out in laughter. The plan had gone very well. Then Darius thanked her for the help and after discussing the next phase of the plan Darius left her car and she drove off.He picked up his phone and dialed a number. After ringing a few times the call was accepted. And a male voice that Darius recognised spoke. “Hello, who is this?”“Good evening Mr Philip. This is Darius speaking. I’m calling to inquire about the job you promised sir.” Darius said with a smug grin.Yes, the person he called was the same Philip that wanted to court his wife Carla. Darius knew that Philip could not get any job for anyone at the Charlton Company, not without applying for it the normal way at least. So he wanted to pressure and not let him rest or wrig
Darius kept saying misleading things about Philip. It was as though he was praising Philip. People who heard what he was saying would feel as though Philip had become a philanthropist.All the people in the VIP room had shining eyes as they listened intently to what Darius was saying. It looked like they were all ready to pounce on Philip at any moment and seek favours from him.Darius just felt pure joy in his heart. He felt good as he saw Philip throbbing silently in anger. The plump man had turned red from his head downwards in anger. But he couldn’t do anything or say otherwise. He had a reputation to keep! So he was trying to force a smile at the people while looking for a way to escape from there.In Philip’s mind he was just imagining how many ways he could use to torture and kill Darius for what he was doing.After a while Darius felt contented at having drawn much attention to Philip so he just sat down and helped himself to a glass of water. Philip’s eyes were screaming ‘I’l
“Darius? What are you doing here?” Carla shouted in surprise. Darius just smiled wryly without answering. “Come here right now and explain yourself.” She shouted at him.Meanwhile her grandmother and other family members were furrowing their brows as they glared at Darius as if they wanted to give him another round of beating. But before Darius could even open his mouth Carla’s mum suddenly spoke with a raised voice...“Son of a bitch, you really have the guts to show up here after the nonsense you did yesterday?” She looked at Darius in disgust as her husband also tipped in his own insults with his low voice. Soon all the family members were all saying one thing after the other, insulting Darius and his mother for being poor. Carla was silent throughout and didn’t even say a word about anything.Darius was just sneering inwardly at them as he noted all their actions and words towards him. He was yet to start his revenge on them but for now he wanted to still play along. He just took
No one could even reply Carla. They just stared blankly.Meanwhile Philip himself was in a daze, what was this? He had never expected someone to be this good. Not even the geniuses he knew could compare to Darius in any regard. That’s how good and exceptional his credentials were. They were also stamped and signed by qualified people so the documents were verified and legitimate.Philip broke out in a sweat. Darius being so good was making it unbearable for him. He himself was never a bright person...Scratch that, if he doesn’t get a job for Darius at that company then he would be suspected. Philip almost held his head in frustration. ‘If he’s this good and brilliant then why is he still poor?! This is clearly enough to make him into a manager of some company of he can even start his own company!’ Philip was just considering different things.Before he could finalize his thoughts and get himself together, Darius pressed him...“So Mr Philip, why do you think about my performance? Is
hilip was still seated between the two elderly women. They were all still a little surprised at what had happened a few minutes ago when Carla dragged Darius into her room. They were even wondering what was going on inside the room.Philip was much worse. He had just been mocked by Darius and didn't even have a chance to retort at his words before Carla (who was his crush) dragged Darius into her room. He wasn't quite sure what to feel or think.As he sat beside the two women, his legs felt like they would carry him and run to Carla's room to see what was going on but he forced himself to sit, his eyes almost wandering to the bountiful chest of Hannah that still had a charm to it but he felt a gaze and saw Carla's father narrowing his eyes at him. He quickly adjusted himself and sat up.Just then his phone rang. He wanted to smash it to the ground but when he saw the caller ID his hands got shaky and he felt a chill up his spine. It was his Father who had just called him. He knew some
Philip began marching through the hall.He didn't even realize that he had drawn the gazes of a few people as he was marching towards Carla and Darius. These were some of the those who had seen the video about him and Darius. The video had widely spread so it made both of them quite popular.As he drifted closer, he now noticed that Carla was almost crying for some reason. He assumed it was Darius but he dismissed it immediately, Darius wouldn't be the one to do such and still be seated next to her while obviously comforting her.Carla looked up and saw Philip heading towards her and she sniffled with a brief sigh of relief. Philip saw the hope and expectation she had in him as their eyes met and he began to smile nervously. He knew he wasn't a reliable person but he had to smile to lift Carla's mood. But Darius said nothing and was just looking with a bit of mischief in his eyes. Philip looked at the face that was still a bit swollen and scoffed internallyHe stopped in in front of C
Philip started hearing different whispers as he picked up his phone and was scrolling through his contacts while thinking of whom to call."Isn't that Philip from the Churchill family?" A voice asked in a low tone among the crowd."Yeah, his Family owns the Ladrak Company. His Father is one of the richest men in the city." Another low voice added."So he's a rich kid... Can he back up his boastful claim with results? He looked so confident but now he's shaking.." A young man replied in an attempt to keep his voice low but failed to do so.Philip heard all the whispers being spoken around him but cut them off and steeled his mind. He couldn't afford to lose the confidence he had summoned up and made call.Obviously his bluff did not pay off and he kept making calls one after the other. Alicia and Darius had mocking expressions on their faces while Carla was starting to get anxious as the seconds and the minutes ticked by. She was confused by what was happening at the moment.'Why is h
Jasmine was finally in college. She had been accepted to her dream school, and she was excited to start her new life.She moved into her dorm room with her roommate, a girl named Sarah. Sarah was outgoing and friendly, and she quickly helped Jasmine to make friends.Jasmine started classes, and she was immediately overwhelmed. The workload was much more than she had expected, and she was struggling to keep up.She also started to feel homesick. She missed her family and friends, and she started to wonder if she had made a mistake by coming to college.One day, Jasmine was walking to class when she saw a group of students gathered around a table. They were playing a game of cards, and they looked like they were having fun.Jasmine stopped to watch, and she was soon invited to join in. She had never played cards before, but she quickly learned the rules.She had a lot of fun playing with the group, and she started to feel more relaxed. She realized that she could make friends here, and
It had been a few weeks since Darius and his family had been reunited. They were still trying to adjust to their new normal, but they were all doing well.One night, Darius and Carla were sitting in the living room, talking. Darius decided to tell Carla about Alicia."I've been meaning to tell you about her," he said. "She was my last lover."Carla was surprised. She had never heard Darius talk about Alicia before."What happened?" she asked.Darius sighed. "It's a long story," he said. "But I'll try to make it short."He told Carla about how he and Alicia had met. They had been working together at a law firm, and they had quickly fallen in love. They had been together for two years, and they had even talked about getting married.But then, one day, Alicia had disappeared. She had left her job without saying goodbye, and she had never contacted Darius again.Darius had been devastated. He had tried to find her, but he had never been able to track her down."I never knew why she left,"
In the midst of their busy lives, Darius and Carla always made time for the simple pleasures that brought them joy. They relished in the everyday moments that kept their love vibrant and their bond strong.On weekends, they would take leisurely walks through the city's parks, hand in hand. The gentle breeze ruffling Carla's hair and the warmth of Darius's presence made every step feel like a cherished memory in the making. They would stop to admire blooming flowers, sit on park benches to people-watch, and share heartfelt conversations about their dreams and aspirations.One summer afternoon, Darius surprised Carla with a picnic by the riverside. They spread out a cozy blanket on the grass, their laughter harmonizing with the gentle sounds of the flowing water. They indulged in their favorite foods, stealing bites from each other's plates and playfully feeding each other."I used to think that my life was all about power and wealth," Darius confessed, his eyes locked on Carla's. "But
Darius and Carla stood on the platform, waving goodbye to Jasmine as she boarded the train. Darius was holding Jasmine's purse, which he had given her as a graduation gift. It was a beautiful leather purse, with a gold clasp and Jasmine's initials on it.Darius watched as Jasmine settled into her seat and the train pulled away. He felt a pang of sadness as he realized that she was leaving home for the first time."She'll be fine," Carla said, putting her arm around Darius and squeezing his hand. "She's a strong girl."Darius nodded. "I know," he said. "But it's still hard to see her go."They watched the train until it disappeared into the distance, and then they turned and walked back to their car.As they were walking, Darius noticed a group of men lurking nearby. They were all wearing dark clothes and sunglasses, and they looked out of place in the busy train station.Darius had a bad feeling about these men, but he didn't say anything to Carla. He didn't want to worry her.They go
Darius and Carla had been married for two years, and they were living the dream. They had traveled the world, and they were madly in love.One day, Carla came home from the doctor with a big smile on her face."Guess what?" she said. "I'm pregnant!"Darius was over the moon. He had always wanted to be a dad, and he knew that Carla would be an amazing mom.They spent the next few months getting ready for the baby. They painted the nursery, bought a crib, and read books about parenting.Finally, the day came when Carla went into labor. Darius was by her side the whole time, and he held her hand as she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.They named her Jasmine, and she was the light of their lives. Darius and Carla loved her more than anything in the world, and they would do anything for her.One day, when Jasmine was about a year old, Darius and Carla were taking her to the park. They were sitting on a bench, enjoying the sunshine, when they saw a group of kids playing nearby.One of t

They faced challenges and hardships with grace, drawing strength from their shared experiences.

As Darius and Carla embarked on this new chapter of their lives, they did so with a sense of adventure and a willingness to embrace the unknown. They had learned that life was unpredictable, and their experiences had taught them the importance of living in the present.One of their shared dreams was to travel the world together. They began by exploring the beauty of their own city, visiting landmarks, museums, and cafes. Holding hands as they walked through the bustling streets, they discovered hidden gems and created memories that would last a lifetime.Their travels extended beyond their city, taking them to distant lands with unfamiliar cultures and languages. They navigated bustling markets, indulged in local cuisines, and marveled at the diversity of the world around them. Each destination brought its own set of challenges and delights, strengthening their bond even further.One particular trip led them to a small coastal village.
