The girls were so excited when we got to the cinema and although they didn't want to show it I could tell they enjoyed the film because they barely blinked through the duration of it.After that, we decided to grab lunch at a nearby restaurant.I sat with Liliana to my right and Lily to my left, while Pheobe went to make the order.I moved my gaze to the side when I felt a little hand tap my leg from below the table."What's wrong," I asked when I noticed Lily's discomfort expression.She moved her hand slightly, signaling for me to come closer, I leaned in her direction."I need to use the lady's room but I'm not sure where it is," Lily uttered in a barely audible voice."If that's the case then I can escort you" I looked around to see if I could find someone to ask for directions. "Let's ask that lady over there." I pointed at a young woman probably in her early twenties, who was dressed like an employee at the restaurant.Before I could stand up to help Lily, Pheobe returned with a
Liliana loves animals and always wanted a pet."A pet? Suddenly I remembered that we passed by a pet store while getting to the restaurant, I could only cross my fingers and hoped I would find her there.we walked towards the pet store, and I noticed a fancy-looking car was parked outside of it, for some reason it looked familiar but I didn't give much thought to it.I walked into the pet store with Lily walking closely beside me."Excuse me miss would you like to adopt a pet." A lady who I guess was the shop owner asked when she noticed me moving my gaze around as if in search of something in particular."Well...no, I just wanted to ask if you saw a little girl around here, about five years of age.""I'm guessing you're in search of her?""Yes, yes I am.""Hmm, happens a lot around here because of how crowded it always is, but it's especially more crowded today because of the festival...Well to answer your question," She began, adjusting her goggles, "As for today, I've seen a lot o
By two o'clock in the afternoon, Rebekah's phone rang.She jumped at the first ring as if she was not expecting it, but the truth was that she had been waiting for the call since she woke up that morning.She had been so committed to waiting for the call that she did not know when she slept off out of exhaustion because she had deprived herself of sleep the previous night.Rebekah glanced at her father's sleeping form on the hospital bed, and she couldn't help feeling guilty.This was all her fault she thought.If she didn't argue with him the previous day then perhaps he wouldn't be laying in a hospital bed, but the circumstance called for an argument. He wanted her to marry a man she held no emotional attraction to, a man she barely even, a man who she had never seen in her life.The whole thing sounded crazy but she couldn't deny that she was curious about the kind of man he was.Despite her apparent social composure and her confidence which was borne out of her desire to prove he
Rebekah stood in front of the mirror in her bedroom as she brushed her hair while preparing herself for what was about to come.An hour ago she had received that man's secretary, and she was surprised to find out that it wasn't that man who had sent the secretary.The secretary came to the hospital bringing recovery gifts from that man's grandmother, she could remember she had only encountered said the woman on a few occasions."Are you Mr. Morgan's secretary?'" She recalled asking when she noticed a figure standing some meters away from the hospital's entrance."Yes," He replied, turning around and meeting her gaze for a brief period before he gave a light bow."I'm sorry I called you out like this, since the chairman was recouping in the Vip section I was sort of restricted, so I chose to wait out here where you could easily find me.""It's fine, I don't mind." She replied almost instantly like she couldn't wait to leave and get back to her father."The chair lady asked me to deliv
Maeve suddenly paused in her words when she noticed the boy's bruised elbow, she wanted to ask what happened to him but she suddenly heard a masculine voice"What's going on here?"Eve noted how the young boy quickly hide his bruised elbow from sight which raised some questions within her.All eyes consequently moved to the owner of the voice, Who was a tall man probably in his late seventies. He had a hat over his head as he walked into the space with three muscular men following close.Immediately the man entered the room it suddenly felt chilly, the man excluded such an aura that could make one instantly feel uneasy, it was just hard not to notice.'Just like that man' Eve thought inwardly."May I know what is going on here?" He questioned again as he walked further into the room."Sir!" The owner of the shop called out in surprise as she rushed towards the man with a nervous countenance." I'm sorry you had to see this sir, it's em nothing serious you see, just a little brawl betwe
The lady that night had been wild, and bold but yet there was something about her that spiked his curiosity this woman in front of him, she also appeared bold, perhaps not wild but she didn't spike his interestBut he told himself that he would wait, there was a game plan somewhere, and he didn't want to spoil it.Rebekah was stunned when her eyes landed on the man seating in front of her, the man whom she had been ready to call out moments ago, only to have her mouth hang open.This man had distinct colored eyes and his facial features were sharp and strong, and she couldn't just move her gaze away from his face, or was it his eye? she wasn't sure which, when he lowered his gaze to glance at the menu she was able to notice his beautiful long lashes.Blown away by the good-looking man in front of her, she felt lost for words."Would you like to other anything," Alexander inquired, looking at the menu before he moved his gaze back to the lady in front of him, who was suddenly feeling s
Maeve "Good morning doctor."A nurse greeted me cheerfully when she walked passed me in the hallway.I had never been so glad to be back to work, I just couldn't wait to see my patients after the morning briefing."Good morning."I returned the greeting, with a mild smile.I walked straight to my office to go through some patients' files before the morning briefing which starts at eight.I walked into my office and I was instantly hit with a wonderful fragrance that smelt so familiar." White Lilies" I whispered when my eye landed on the beautiful bouquet resting on my office desk.well, that was unusual.As much as I wanted to believe that this was the handwork of a cleaner the way it was packaged left me in doubt.I had only spent a week in the hospital, and the cleaners never opted for fresh flowers they usually preferred the artificial fragrance to the natural one because they felt it lasted longer.I decided not to give much thought to it and went straight to take my seat by my de
"Doctor Evans, is there a problem?" I inquired as I turned around to meet the doctor's gaze."Well no," He stuttered slightly, scratching the back of his head. " I was just hoping I could borrow a moment of your time,"I suddenly saw a light blush appear on his cheeks when our gaze met and at that moment I couldn't help but wonder if he was the secret admirer.Doctor Evan was one of the residents under Professor Frank, it was not like I knew him personally, but it was also not like I didn't know who he was.Doctor Evans and I attended the same medical school, so we had a lot of encounters with each other along the line.I would be lying if I said I didn't notice his stares or subtle advances, but I choose not to give much thought to it. From the little I knew about him, he seemed like a nice person with genuine intentions but I just wasn't the right person for him, I had a lot on my mind already, I was a woman on a mission and I wasn't planning on getting emotionally involved with an
