CELESTIA’S POINT OF VIEW“Good morning, grandpa, good morning mum.” I greeted as I got to the living room. They were all smiles as if they were not the same people harassed the night before. They looked radiant and happy as they watched the television.“Good morning my daughter.” They said in unison.“Did you sleep well?” My mum asked after I sat on one of chairs, the one adjacent to them.“I did a little.” I lied.“Have you seen Thomas this morning?”“Oh not at all, just some of the boys who came to ask what we would love for breakfast.” Grandpa replied.“But these are not the clothes you had on yesterday? and I did not remember you bringing any outfit with you.” I asked noticing what they had on.“Oh yes, we saw them in the closet of the room we slept in. There are various outfits for men and women in different sizes in the closet.” My mum explained.“Come to think of it, you are also putting on a different cloth from last night?” Grandpa said giving me a playful side eye.“I also g
THOMAS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW I said as I looked sternly in his eyes.He smiled but so broadly that it could pass for a chuckle.“I understand your plight as I heard from my boys they are family to you. I wondered how someone related to a big man in the city like yourself defaults on rent payment but that is not important. I apologize for that. You know, sometimes, these boys get overzealous when we send them to tenants to remind them of their rent. I am just but an agent which means I must remit these money to the actual owner of these houses. It was nothing personal.” He said appearing as responsible and calm as he can.“I could have pressed charges against you and your little cartel you have going on here because apart from the fact that your means are illegal and criminal, I am sure what you also run is illegal but I honestly would love to save myself the headache. So here is everything they owe you. They shall be moving out of the house immediately as well so get your boys
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWThe waiter brought my usual order with wine glasses. It was the most expensive bottle of wine on their shelf. The waiter helped to open the bottle and filled the cup almost to the brim. He bowed and left.People had been staring at our table- me, but there was this particular lady seated not too far from who had been making eye contacts with me. She was really beautiful and seemed different from the other thirsty ladies that had been making eyes at me all along. She was seated with two other ladies discussing and laughing together occasionally. They were decently dressed relative to the others too.“Eddie man, it has been a while you hung out like this. You just abandoned the streets for your art man. It should not be so now.” Tony complained as I sip on my wine.“It is not like that, I had just been a little withdrawn because of some things that happened, not that I did not want to hang out with…” I trailed off as I saw the lady stood up from her s
THOMAS ROBINSON’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW.“Mrs Williams?!” I screamed in shock and jumped on my feet. That was the wife to the nation’s minister of defence. I wondered what business she could have with a criminal like Jack or was she the owner of the house Celestia and her family were living in? I doubted that because the property seemed substandard to their wealth status.“Mr. Thomas Robinson.” She called my name too and sat.Smart and I also slowly sat down still not recovered from the shock.“I made you come over here.” She began and took her glasses off, placed her hands on the table and continued.“When I was told you were the one who got those people out of the house and willing to pay off their debt, I knew it was time to meet with you. I had always wanted to but you were always busy and I could not also make official appointments without attracting prying eyes so forgive me for this unofficial meeting.” She smiled and seemed very relaxed and comfortable.“Meet with me? Wha
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWWe were having a really good time in the house, cracking jokes, watching the television and everything seemed right. Thomas’ boys were also at our beck and call to give us any and every thing we wanted or needed. I heard a car sound from the garage so I went to peep through the window and saw that Thomas was back. They parked the car, Thomas stepped out first then he said some words to his personal assistant, Smart. That one took a minute before he got down from the car too and walked behind Thomas as they came inside. “Hello” he said as he came in and came to give me a warm hug. Even with the smile, he had on, I knew he was not happy.“Welcome my son, how was it?” My mother greeted and asked seeming impatient.“Let him settle down at least before questioning him, this woman.” My grandpa cautioned her. “Oh it is fine sir.” Thomas said as he sank into one of the chairs tiredly and faced Smart, “I need you to start digging for information on what
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW**************PresentHe went upstairs into his room finally. I excused myself and followed him upstairs.I knocked on the door, “Who is that? Smart? Are you back so soon?” His voice came on from inside.“No, it is me, not Smart.” I responded.“Celestia?”“Yes.”“Give me a minute, I will get the door for you soon.”He opened the door and the view I saw mesmerized me. He was dripping from his hair, across his chest down to his toes. It was so tempting and words got stuck in my throat.“Come in.” He invited me in and shut the door. I sat on the bed and swallowed hard as I watched the water run across his hairy chest.“Erm… I… I came to thank you for everything you have been doing for me and my family without us even asking. I am so overwhelmed that I do not even know how else to appreciate than just to say thank you.” He smiled and drew one of the stools to sit across me directly. He held my hands,“Celestia, I thought we were passed this? There
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI stood there for a few seconds in shock and we were all looking at one another. “What are you doing here?” Thomas asked me and jolted me out of my thoughts.“Erm… I… I came…” I could not find my voice“He came asking for Celestia.” The lady that brought me to the cafeteria announced.“Oh, baby, you know Edward?” Thomas asked Celestia.“No, but his face looks familiar. Why do you want to see me, sir?” She asked.Baby? Oh no! Could she be the woman he talked about the other day? And with the looks of things, it seemed they already have something romantic going on. I staggered a bit and tried to regain my balance. I sat down on the chair close to where I was. “Edward, are you okay?” Thomas asked again.“Yes, I am fine.” “You look like you have seen a ghost and you also have not answered my, our question.” Thomas said.“Oh I came here for my exhibition. I want to promote the exhibition with the company and I was directed to the marketing department
THOMAS FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW“Yes sir. They have done a lot of terrible things but what I found amusing is that, none of them have been prosecuted. They are always pardoned by the police after being paraded for a while.” He explained further.“You know what, compile everything you know and put them together. You will present them to me at the office. I am already on my way and behind the wheels.” I said.“Okay sir, I understand.” He said and the line went dead.I cut the call short because I noticed a particular car had been following me since I left Celestia workplace. I intentionally took some turnings that were not on my route to confirm if I was bee: followed and alas! this car followed me through every turn.I called Smart back. “Sir?”“I am being followed by some people. Get the boys on it and report to the police. I will try my best to lose them but tell them to send help as I do not know what their intention is yet.”“What?! Send me your location sir.” Smart saidI input
