GRIAN LEFT THE OFFICE when Christopher arrived. He told Grian to check on the coffee shop while he works in the company. He noticed that Chris was acting strange and not himself. He tried confronting his friend but to no avail. Christopher just won't open up to what’s going on with him, even to his closest friend. Since he was being stubborn, Grian decided to ask him another time.
While he was walking to his car, he bumped into Hannah who was about to enter the building. Hannah’s face lit up as she clung to him. He removed her grasp and pushed her away. “Hey, Grian. Where’s your boss?” she asked in an excited tone and he furrowed his eyebrows.
“You mean Chris? He’s in his office,” he answered and sighed.
She smiled and twinkled her eyes before walking inside the building like a model as she maneuvered her way to the elevator. She clicked the floor where Christopher is in. She cleared her throat an
As the night continued, her worry grew even more. All of them are just in the living room in silence as they wait for something to happen. They’re trying to figure out where Philippe could’ve gone at this time of the night. She knows her brother wouldn’t just not go home, he has nowhere else to go. Something is really wrong here.“Can you rest?” Christopher asked her as he handed her a cup of water. She looked at him tiredly before looking down again. He grabbed her hand and put the drink there. “Here,” he said before pulling out a pill from his pocket and handing it to her as well.“What’s that?”“For sleep,” he explained calmly as he opened the container.“But my broth-“ She tried to argue with him but he insisted. He grabbed her other arm and placed the pill on her palm. “We’ll take care of it for you. Just get some rest tonight,” he
Fatima left the coffee shop and followed behind the man who called her. She breathed heavily as she followed him. She looked around, trying to figure out a plan. She looked up and saw CCTV cameras. She stares directly at them as she walks and once she passes them one by one, she looks back and stares at them again before turning around and following the man.She felt like the world is moving so slow while her heart is beating rapidly. They turned to a corner and noticed a car waiting for them. The man opened the passenger’s seat for her as she walked slowly to the car while holding her arm. She silently entered the car and the man closed the door. It feels as if she is being escorted to the afterlife, or at least where it will end for her.Once she entered, there was another person in the driver’s seat. The other man who she followed went to the seat beside the driver and shut the door. She heard the lock turn on and she gulped in nervousness. T
The explosion caught everyone off guard, it was chaos for a quick moment till the smoke was gone. The police looked around and found no one hurt by the explosion. Fatima breathed heavily as she calmed down. She looked at Grian with a smile but it quickly fell. “Grian!” she exclaimed as her hands were freed by Cristopher, she immediately held Grian who’s in pain, and held his side.Fatima’s face filled with terror as she looked at his side torso bleeding out. She held his side as well. Christopher realized what happened and called the ambulance in. “Grian..” she whispered in a panic and he looked at her with a smile.“If I die, delete the secret file in my laptop,” he whispered with a grin and she furrowed her eyebrows. “Not the time to joke around!” she irritatedly screamed.“I’m glad you’re safe,” he said before he slowly passed out. The medical team then held
A couple of days later, Philippe got released from the hospital and in the meantime, they were escorted to a new home so it’s a lot safer and it’s sponsored by Christopher. Fatima was skeptical to accept it but for the sake of her brothers, she accepted it. He’s being kind to her which feels nice but it’s still a bit strange since a couple of days ago, his mother was ready to fight her because of how the company image got damaged.She breathed heavily as she and her brother prepared lunch. “Wow, this place is amazing,” he said. This is the first day of them moving here and it’s closer to Grian’s house and the company. He was also transferred to different schools and so did Nikki for their safety. Timothy was also granted the opportunity to study since he’s ready for school but Fatima didn’t have money to let her brother study. With both the help of Christopher and Grian, it was possible for them to live
CHRISTOPHER WHO SEEM LIKE madness consumed him, walked into their mansion where his mother is currently in while his sister is sent away to hang out with Philippe in the meantime so that she wouldn’t hear what they’ll be arguing about. He went directly to her office and opened the door and found his mother sitting down on her chair while typing on her laptop. She walked towards her and stopped in front of the desk.“What is it this time, Christopher?” she asked while she continued typing, not looking at her son.“Did you pay Fatima’s mother or not?” he directly questioned but she didn’t even bat an eye. She continued typing before he uttered again, “Did you?” She sighed, knowing he’ll just keep pushing her buttons.“I paid a lot of people, I’m not sure,” she answered before looking at the paperwork on her desk. His jaw clenched and he slammed his hands on her ta
[Dream Starts]Fatima felt like her eyes were heavy as hell as she was driving their old car. She looked around the car and as she turned to the side and saw her father sitting next to her with his seatbelt on. She looked at him with furrowed eyebrows and he smiled. “Learning how to drive now, I see?” he asked and she nodded but was having a hard time keeping her eyes open because it’s heavy and the surroundings looked awfully bright.“I need to learn how to drive since I’ll be taking care of my brothers, don’t I?” He smiled and nodded before leaning back on the seat.“When are you coming home?” she asked and he frowned.“I don’t know sweetie, maybe never?” he answered and she looked at him with confusion. “What?” She was about to stop the car when the surroundings suddenly changed. The car was flipped over as the
“Oh no! The fish is burning!” Fatima exclaimed in a panic and Grian laughed loudly. They’ve been trying to cook for about twenty minutes now and she’s not used to grilling food so she’s having a hard time manipulating the fire. She panicked and blew air into the fire which made the fire even bigger. “Oh my gosh!” she exclaimed and he shook his head while laughing.“Here, let me,” he said before taking it upon himself to cook the fish. He flipped it over before the first side turned black. She breathed heavily and sat down on her seat. She pouted as she watched him cook while she checked the basket and grabbed the fruits so she could eat at the same time.“I suddenly hate cooking,” she joked and he laughed.After he successfully cooked the first fish, he placed it down on the plate before he started the second and third ones. “I didn’t know you were good at this,
FATIMA GOT READY THE next morning. She wore black pants that aren't tight so she can move around easily and she’s wearing a white t-shirt and a black jacket over it. She tied her hair back in a bun as she waited for a call or something on her phone. What’s bothersome is how they found the number. The police traced the call and they were telling the truth in which location they were.Fatima nervously waited for another call as Grian sat next to her. “Are you really certain about this?” he asked in nervousness and she nodded. He sighed in worry, knowing he can’t really stop her from what she wanted to do. “I’ll come with you-“ He got cut off.“Shut up, you just got shot,” she said, refusing his request and he gulped. A few minutes later, the phone rang and after a few rings, that’s when she answered the call. She felt like she stopped breathing the moment she answered. She took a
