And those who he had not found fault in them, got their letter of salary increment, every one with his letter. At about 1:25 noon, the meeting was closed and everyone formed a group to discuss the content of their letter, some headed home straight as Jay did.

FACELESS FUTURE Fourteen
After roaming on a lonely way alone for an hour, I saw two people returning from the farm. "Hello ma, does this road lead to mama biggie's farm?" I asked to be sure I am on the right road. "Yes, keep walking ahead, though the farm is far", a response from one of them. I was relieved, the road is too quiet no wonder the elders do not want me to come alone. Waiting for Bianca is like waiting for tomorrow that would never come.Thereupon, walking for another 30 minutes, I was already tired but I was determined to never give up. I saw two men coming, they looked innocent, we walked past each other. They shouted, "madam stop there!" This can't be me, I said and took a step forward. One of the gentlemen dragged my hand and raised his hand to slap me, but he was cautioned by his fellow."Madam Lola, you are on your way to see mama, no problem! We shall take you to her", the other man sounds persuasive. I was wondering how he knows my name and where I am going, still, I can't trust him."No

He sounds amusing and fearsome at the same time. At 3 o'clock noon, I left Wuse for the Prime hotel at Gwarinpa by 1st avenue. I got there at 3:45, I phoned him, and he said "I can feel it, you are a good girl, this act has earned you an extra one hundred thousand. I recognize you in a red gown, it looks nice on you." I turned to my left and my right, I didn't see anyone. "No need to turn, you can't see me. Open the gate the first person you will see tell them you are going to room 134. The young me is waiting for you, you look ravishing." I met two ladies at the reception, I told them to take me to room 134. One of them said 'follow me'. I followed her quietly, she unlocked the door and she left with the key. I entered the room, it was more enormous than my entire house. I wonder if he lives in the hotel. He sat on a chair with his suit on him. He looked so harmless with his smile. "Come to me girl," he said lovingly. I was reluctant but I embraced him and he smells nice. His perfu

He jerked me up from the bed, I was crying out for help, thinking maybe a miracle would happen, that is if there is one actually! The more I cried out the less he cared. He handcuffed my hands together with the bondage handcuff. "Dear stubborn cat, you have been found guilty of turning me on with your voice, you are hereby sentenced to a moment of unforgettable pleasure with me! Do you like my verdict?" he asked sanely"You are crazy Jack!" I screeched out loud.He clapped his hands three times, "stubborn cat, I must say I like your gut!" He glowered his mouth, and suddenly his expression changed, there was a fire burning in his eyes. "I hate how you are glaring at me," he said and reached out to the blindfold, and used it to coat my eyes."Stubborn cat, you won't lie like a log, you have to make me feel the activities that are about to start, this is the only way I can help you feel better."Everything he said I do not understand. What workouts was he talking about? How can I see wh

"He watched you leave without calling back to at least give you the envelope?" Madam Florence asked out of curiosity."He did but I wished he never did" Tonia answered."Why?" Madam Florence questioned.He called to taunt me, I memorized each of his words, they are nails to my heart. That very evening, Jack blurted "Stubborn cat!" I twirled back with my hand on the door grip. He let out a cruel smile. "I have money, so I can get whatever it is that I desire. I don't beg women as other men do, I love it when my woman is at my mercy just like the way you were." He said and turned his phone screen to my face, I saw how I was begging him.He went further with his speech "For the future purpose, that's why I recorded it, the evidence is here to show that you are the one who wanted this not me, mind the door as you leave. I will call you for the next appointment," he said and proceeded with whatever he was doing on his phone."That's rude of him," Mr. Badmus said after being silent for a w

Tonia, you are certainly a good girl. You indisputably tried your best, but God loves her more than you ever know, Mr. Badmus praised her."Your mom is proud of you, I'm sure even in death she still adores you, you did not let her down. You are an amazing daughter," Madam Florence ensured her.Tonia continued with her story, Mr. Jack noticed my movement, he drove gently behind me and packed beside me "get inside the car," he said. I ignored him and kept moving. He was angry at my actions, so he got down from his car and tightened my hands. Some passersby wanted to ask a question before they did. He already cleared the air "I am her uncle," he said with a broad smile on his face and he held me firm by my right wrist.There was a sac in my left hand that contained pieces of stuff like a stove, spoons, and plates.
