FLOWERS OR DOLLARS A seductress at night
55****Maurice's POV****As I sat in my car driving home to my estate, my mind went back to the little intimate time Natalie and I had shared after taking our cars from the car wash. She had patted my hair tenderly and I had went ahead to kiss her lightly on the cheeks, before wishing her a good night rest. I took one last look at the pictures, maybe not the last for today. We had taken them in the venue of our mock wedding, and they were splendidly beautiful and nostalgic. ‘I would make Natalie my wife!' I thought assuredly. She added a lot of color and liveliness to my being. Remembering this night I was to be home alone, I walked in. My mother had left for North Esturnburg that morning, to be with her seventy nine year old ailing mother. Bringing out the access card from my wallet, I tapped the card very close to the sensor and in a minute the authentication process read successful. Just when I was about to enter, I felt a touch. It wasn't a hard push, lest I would have mistook

As I sat for my lunch of Ribeye Steak served alongside with a creamy mashed potatoes, and roasted asparagus at the Rodriguez Cafe. Our new young intern, Jason Davies, exchanged pleasantries with me, holding onto his tray of lunch. He moved forward to where I sat.“I'd love to sit, can I?" He requested. “Sure..." I said lowly, my mouth was full. “Great choice of food for lunch!" he complimented. “I know right?" I said in response, smiling at the young man, who munched his lunch with relish.Jason was eighteen years of age and had proceeded to our company to serve as an intern. ‘He hoped to work as an employee in Venus Group' he had told my father. “Your company's great, miss!" he remarked. “Just two weeks and I'm half way over with learning software development, I can't wait to be a guru!" He said light heartedly, and his young eyes shone with excitement.I took a

57****Natalie's POV****Letticia's wedding came the next year, the first Saturday in the year 2023. Being Letticia's buddy, I had arrived the Fidell's apartment on a Friday opposing the next day which was to be her wedding. Letticia was my girl and I was determined to be there for her. The nostalgic memories with Kevin that panged my being, when I arrived the estate was still not enough to make me change my mind. “Natalie!" Letticia cried joyfully from the window to her room upstairs. She was over the moon to note that I was there for her wedding preparation. I had come with an echolac box. The Antler Clifton medium in pink, matching the pink joggers and face cap I had worn with a black body suit. With my echolac box being cradled, I made for the door way of the Fidell's mansion. Just before I got there, a young maid came through the entrance door. She was putting on a white apron on a black gown, and a head scarf was tied to her hair. Chubby, and a little below my height. She gre

58****Maurice's POV****Mr. Mark didn't hide his sad countenance when he got to know I would be leaving Venus Group in a month. That day, he had urged me with fatherly words. “It's painful to miss out from a smart mind like you, but I can't say no"“You need to go on with your dreams, Maurice"“Wish you immense luck!"

59****Kevin's POV****The surrounding walls of East Esturnburg Penitentiary stood very high, with electric fences huddled with razor wires at the top. The vigilant officers who were positioned outside, paced the surroundings of the penitentiary tirelessly with their hand folded to their backs. Their eyes were wild as an owl, very vigilant to any single abnormal movement made at the exteriors of the building. Inside the penitentiary, I stood with two other inmates chopping vegetables in readiness for lunch that day. We were surrounded by three officers, who didn't get their eyes off us for a second “Chop fast! and stop being sluggish like a pregnant woman!" An officer addressed me. I rubbed my forehead with the back of my palms incessantly, while chopping the vegetables. The environment was too hot and unbearable. On the other end, the boiling water heightened the hot environment. This was obviously the hardest chore for me, as I had never cooked. Why should I? When I had a hos

60****Maurice's POV****My eyes beholding my glamorous white tuxedo designed in gold hung at the side of my bed, and the blaring voices of Sebastian and my other groom's men in the hallway reminded me of the stark reality. It was my wedding day!.I yawned and stretched, being unable to refrain myself from smiling.‘Why should I?' I was getting married to Natalie Escobar, the woman of my dreams! I had almost given up hope in getting Natalie as mine and here we are today. The soft tap at my door, made me reduce the wideness of my smile by a centimeter. Opening the door, I discovered it was Sebastian. “Wakie... Wakie..." He teased. “Wow! Look who is up now! The latest groom in town!" He continued, clasping my palm in a huge hand shake. “Congratulations, man!" He urged, patting me gently on the shoulder. “Thank you so much, Seb!"“Thanks for everything..." I emphasized. “Everything?" He asked wide eyed, surprised at my statement. “Yes, everything" I continued. “You made sure you

61****Maurice's POV****“You are about to start a new life now, baby" my mom said, holding my hands. She was the last person standing, after a few guests had left. With a smile, she continued, “To take responsibility of your new family. I'm no more here to make you breakfast, lunch and dinner, you know right?" She went on, and I chuckled. “Of course, mom. I'm fully informed!" I replied. My mom gave me one last hug and while we did hug, my eyes darted towards the terrace I had seen Natalie, she was no longer there. “Alright, good bye mum! and please tell Stanley to drive safe!" I bellowed from the living room, my mom was already half way out of the building. I had sought for the service of a driver for her, after getting her a new small transportable car.

62****Kevin's POV****These days in the prison have been more hellish than it ever was. For three whole weeks, I realized I couldn't sleep at night no matter how much I tried. I would sit on my bed which had began to sink in as days passed, my palms clutched to my jaw and my mind wandering to and fro.I thought about just when I would be released, and then Natalie. Was she okay? Alive? Still mad at me? She never visited for once, and then for Zurich Corporations, how low the staffs would perceive me, if I was ever going to resume my place as a CEO. Was a rapist fit for that position?.Those nights, I would think and think when the other inmates slept, and most times I would discover blood running out of my nose like it did when my mom came visiting. All I had to do was rush to the rest room, washing it off over and over again till the bleeding seized. It went on for three whole weeks, thank goodness that it never did during the activities of the day and of course I braced up during t
