He struggled and cried in fear, he kept yelling and moving. I allowed him to wiggle and twist like an earthworm, before putting my knife back in my pocket. “What a show" I laughed and clapped my hands. Mr Cruiz looked towards me and chuckled too in response. “I haven't killed you yet Anderson Williams" I said, raising my hands in surrender. His eyes popped as soon as he heard me. “Kill me?. Please, I promise I Will disappear. I will leave this place, go to Asia, Africa. Please don't kill me” he pleaded. Andy looked helpless as he pleaded. He wasn't the same Andy that he was last night who wanted to rape a drunk woman. “Killing you is showing you mercy. Moreover I don't waste my sins Anderson! You are too small for me to waste a murder case on" I responded. My words brought rays of hope to him again. I could see it in his eyes, he felt relieved. “You have two options, Anderson Williams. One, you are letting go of your shares in my wife's company willingly, 30% of your co
Irene's POV. I laid on my back on the bed after waiting for Damien to come inside after his breakfast in vain. He refused to look at me, he ignored me like a leprose woman. As I laid down, tears rolled down my eyes to my ears, and a few drops soaked the pillow under my head. In self regret, I picked up my buzzing phone by the lampside. It was Maddie. I answered her call and at an instant, she knew something was off.Maddie: What's wrong ma'am? Are you ok?Me:(weakly) what's going on at the company? Is everything intact?Maddie: Yes ma'am, work, production and distribution are going on very well. Over to you, what is going on? You don't sound too good? Under the weather?Me: (silent for a while) Andy tried to force himself on me last night and Damien walked in! Since then, he has avoided me, he has refused to look at me or say anything to me.Maddie: Oh my God! This is really bad? How? Andy? How did he get to Paris? How did he try to? I mean, where?Me: (almost breaki
I felt bad eating dinner alone without Damien. I only appeared to pick a few bite sizes and then left for the pool side. I slowly chewed my food as I stared at the TV's screen clueless. “We can talk now" I heard from behind me. It was Damien. I was happy and shocked at the same time. The news of him talking to me brought smiles to my face. I almost put away my food to listen to whatever he had to say but he stopped me. “Finish your food first" it sounded almost like a command. I nodded and continued my food. My appetite disappeared seconds later. I cleaned up with the napkin and turned to him “i am done “ I whispered. He nodded and gave me a go ahead to speak. "About last night, I didn't mean to.. I mean, Andy was all over and it happened. I never meant to offend or something “ my words came out blanked and plain. Damien raised his eyebrows and stared at me for the first time. I saw so many unsaid words in his eyes."Damien… ." He smirked and finally spoke ba
Damien got down and took his bags upstairs himself. Chloe and I walked behind the maids as they helped me with my bags. I got to Chloe's room and I was impressed. Raymond was a good babysitter after all. Chole showed me her new painting skills, it was a beautiful picture of herself and Damien. “I made this for daddy" she showed me with a genuine smile on her face. I admired the picture and sat down. Chole sat down and leaned on me and we watched cartoons together. It was more than an hour since Damien and I got back from the airport. The door opened and Damien walked in on shorts. He smelled really nice. “Baby" His deep voice called for Chole as he sat down on her bed. Chole left my arms and met him. He handed the shopping bags from the hotel to her. “I got you new jewelry, bags and toys from Paris," he said, rubbing her hair. Chole jumped on Damien excitedly and kissed him all over screaming "You remembered! Thank you daddy” . I fixed my eyes away from the
I took a seat in front of him and called his name “Albert". He chuckled softly before he opened his mouth. "I don't remember working for you! Why am I tied up here” he asked weakly. His breath was weak and I knew he was tired. I somehow felt pity for the young man. “No Albert, you haven't worked for me. I am just meeting you for the first time too" I responded. He tried to move his hands but he was restrained. “Then why am I here!! Damn for goodness sake, I have been here for almost a week or more" he struggled angrily. Raymond attempted to knock him out, but I stopped him. I allowed the bald man to wear out before I explained everything to him. “You made an attempt on my child's life Mr Albert. You tried to run over my child with a car! My only child" I yelled, getting on my feet. Albert was dumbfounded, he tried to think, which was very obvious from his facial expression. He paused for a while before he apologized softly. " I am sorry sir. It was two weeks
I walked out on Jerry but he dragged me back roughly. His action sparked a fierce reaction from Patrick as he stood up in a rush. “Listen to me, Agnes. You don't have to do this! Ok. We can leave this city, travel anywhere just like us. I can make you happy" Jerry sounded desperately. I pushed him away with all my might and freed myself from his grip. “As what huh? You are not my mother Jerry, I don't need you looking out for me. Leave me alone" I yelled, almost tearing my voice. “I can't turn a blind a eye to Agnes! I hell can't. Fuck!!! I love you Agnes! I love all of you!" He blasted. There was dead silence in the room. The whole space stood still. My ears kept hearing echoes of his last words “I love you". Jerry tried to touch me but I moved back. “Baby, I know I wasn't supposed to, but I did. I want to keep you close and make you happy. Please just give me a chance" he sighed softly running his hands through his hair. I sat down on the couch and let
Cooking was always something I looked up to everyday with my dad. We had maids but dad always loved it when I made breakfast for him. We would eat breakfast together before heading to the office. I placed a pan on the gas and added vegetable oil on the pan. I began by frying the eggs with salt and seasoning powder. I moved them out of the pan and added the diced sausages until they cooked well. I added the vegetables and seasoned it to taste. I could see the surprised looks on the maids faces. They would occasionally peep to see what I am doing and sometimes giggle among themselves. The aroma coming from my pan was nose blinding. I enjoyed the looks on their faces and how I crushed their doubts about me. I added the sausage and allowed it to stay in with the vegetables for a while before taking them all out from the pan. I sprayed the pan with oil and introduced the tortilla wrap to a tray. I filled the wrap with the vegetable and sausage, scrambled eggs and
I held the papers in front of me and kept staring at Damien. Damien looked too relaxed and it scared me. Andy bowed his head and refused to look at me or Damien. I opened the first page of the paper and it was a legal document. It increased my curiosity double. I slowly ran my eyes through every line and word inscribed in the paper. Halfway through the paper, I got goosebumps. Andy was forfeiting all the shares he had in my company willingly. I stared at Andy and I could see regrets and fear in his face. He wasn't doing all this willingly. Damien in turn kept staring at his watch and keeping a relaxed expression. I kept reading till I got to the last page. I am now entitled to 30% of Andy company's gross profit for ten years. My eyes popped! My whole body reacted to what I just saw. What was going on here? The lawyer handed me a pen showing me the column to sign. “Can I talk to Da… .I mean can I discuss this with my husband first” I muttered loud enough for the
