"Get a bottle of wine and glass cups for two." Nicolas said to his secretary on the phone before dropping it back on the ace plate.He took his gaze back to the guests he had in his office as he tried not to reveal too much of his nervousness."Thank you for honoring my invitation." He said in a nervous smile."I didn't honor it just because I wanted to, the offer looked quite tempting, you know." Brandon stated in a smirk."But still, I appreciate." Nicolas said nodding slightly."Anyways, down to the main business." Brandon said as he rested back on the seat with legs crossed against each other."Yeah,,,,," Nicolas breathed out nervously and paused for a while.A knock came on the door and he took his gaze to it. "Come in." He voiced out. It opened and the secretary came in with a tray which contained a bottle of wine and two glass cups.She dropped it on her boss's desk and poured some of the wine into the glass cups. She bowed slightly to her boss before walking out of the offic
She paused the video immediately with her right hand. Her breaths were becoming heavy as she rested weakly on the rails. "No, it can't be." She muttered and shook her head. She resumed the video again and what she saw made her scream out loud together with the screams from her phone. By this time, the wind has already become too chilly for her to stay. "Fred can't do this, he can't." She mumbled again to herself, this time with her voice quivering more than before. She paused the video, unable to take in the tension that was adjoining. She shook her head once again as if trying not to believe what she saw. She dialed the number the video was from and tried to call it but it was unable to connect. She tried it out the second time and the same thing occurred. "Shit!" She muttered hitting hard on the rails. She hissed out lightly in pain when she wrung her hand in the process. She stared at the screen of her phone emptily like she was still unsure of what she saw. But something
"Take everything to the closet and make sure to arrange them properly," Eva ordered pointing to the closet. The maids did as they were all told as they went in to drop off the luggage.The door opened immediately and Bella came in looking a little confused. Eva glanced at her before taking her gaze away."What's with the commotion here?" She asked coming closer to her."What commotion?" Eva asked back nonchalantly as she turned to her."I saw you coming in with your luggage, so I would like to know what it's all about," Bella asked folding her hands underneath her boobs."You mean that?" Eva said clicking her tongue as she suck in her breath."Yeah, I would like to know," Bella said in a demanding tone staring keenly at the lady in front of her."Well, it's simple. I decided to come here to stay for a while." Eva said flipping her hair backward stylishly."Stay here?" Bella said staring quizzically at her."Yeah, you heard me right. What? Why looking so shocked? Not like this is the
"Huh? Answer my damn question!" She yelled out again."Would you stop yelling before you start to feel pain down your throat?" He said loudly tilting his head as he stared at her."And do I look like I care?" She asked feeling exasperated. "You might not but I do. I care if you begin to feel pain and that's because I love you." He said staring directly into her eyes. "I've loved you right from childhood and up till now, I still do. I've always held you in great esteem in my heart but instead, you broke my heart a thousand times by marrying that man." He lashed out staring directly at her. One could easily detect the pain in his voice.Lillian could barely stare into his eyes anymore, she threw her face to the side with a deep frown as she pretended not to listen to anything he was saying. She scoffed and turned back to face him still with a frown."I didn't plan to break your heart, circumstances made me. There was no way I'd have let my selfishness fail my mother. It was what she
Bella poured in wine into her cup as she gulped it all at once. She was at the bar drinking after her encounter with Eva. She poured another content into the cup and this time, she took a sip. She dropped the glass cup back on the table and clicked her tongue in a small sigh. "Hey!" She heard from behind and turned. "Hi!" She said, turning back to concentrate on her drink. "What are you doing now?" Rex asked coming to sit beside her. "I'm just chilling out here." She replied tiredly as she took another gulp. "Without me?" He asked raising a brow and she chuckled. He took out a glass cup from the bar and poured wine into it. "So, what happened? You look quite upset." He said again after taking a sip. Bella glanced at him and let out a long sigh. "It's just that I have a bad feeling about Eva coming here to stay. I mean why would she come here to stay when my brother clearly has a wife?" She said more like a question as she pouted cutely. "She is staying?" Rex asked sounding
The gates slide open as a Toyota Camry drove in. It parked a meters away from the gate and the people in it alighted.Bella sighted her brother stepping down from the car and she rushed towards him. Don tried to walk past her thinking it was still about what they discussed earlier but she stopped him by holding unto his wrist.He turned to her in a weary look and raised a brow without saying a word. "Where the heck did you put your phone?" She groaned out looking frustrated."What is it, Bella?" Don said instead."Where did you put your phone? I've been calling you for the past few hours." She groaned out loud."I was busy dealing with business and all" He replied nonchalantly. "So busy that you had refused to answer my calls?" She asked glaring hard at him."You and I know I don't joke with anything that has to do with business, everything else can be sorted out later on." He answered sternly."Really?" She scoffed out and exhaled sharply. "Anyways, your wife has been........."
The door burst open but she didn't bother seeing who it was as she thought it was Mark again. "Lillian." She heard Bella's voice, that was when she lifted her head immediately."Oh my goodness, Lillian!" Bella called out again leaving the door knob to where she was sitting.Lillian sat up immediately seemingly shocked to see Bella."Did he hurt you?" Bella asked crawling to her as she checked her body for any injury."Did he by any chance hit you?" She queried again now looking into her face."No, he didn't." Lillian replied dryly. Her shocked expression had now turned into a relived one."Alright then, let's go." Bella uttered and took her hands into hers. She pulled her gently out of the bed and even though Lillian felt reluctant, she still followed her out. She would ask her questions when they get home. They walked side by side down the stairs and met some boys roaming round in the living room.Lillian felt a little scared seeing the unfamiliar boys in all black. Bella seemed t
She crossed her legs on the chair as she smoked heavily from her cigarette, puffing it out from both her nostrils and mouth in the next seconds.She poured in whiskey into her glass cup and gulped down the whole content at once as she dropped it back angrily on the table."Mind if I join?" She heard a deep voice say. She lifted her gaze instantly recognizing that voice."I don't think you'll give your consent." He stated and made himself comfortable on a seat."What are you doing here?" She asked adjusting uncomfortably on her seat. "What do you mean? Of course I came to visit my friend." He replied innocently.Eva stared at him speechlessly with her anger slowly fading into fear."I guess I'll do the servings myself." He mumbled inaudibly. He poured in whiskey into the glass cup as collected the cigarette stick from her and smoked a little from it. "Excuse me." She muttered wearing her footwear as quick as she could. "Why are you in a hurry?" He asked staring at her while he comf
