The bus arrived few minutes later and Elise boarded it immediately. She was lost in her own world as she stared out of the window. She really had no idea whether she would find a place to stay but just went blindly, hoping that by the end of the day she would have worked something out.
At the outskirts of the town Elise decided to alight from the bus, she was sure that the amount she had could not let her get any room within the city, she had to save as much as she could since it would be a long time timm she be able to get an apartment. She carried her suitcase as she moved from one rentalhouset o another in search of a room she could afford, but all of them seemed really expensive. The cheapest price was one hundred and fifty dollars which she couldn't afford at that time if she wanted to push through the month with the little money she had.It was already 1 am but she had yet to find a room, Elise felt so exhausted and went to a nearby shade to have a little rest. The guy who had silently followed her reported immediately to his boss when he noticed that she couldn't go on, she needed assistance and he was sure the boss would enable her get one. Having been notified on what to do, he immediately called caretaker toii one of the apartment buildings in town.In her despair Elise heard her phone ring and immediately checked it out. It was Logan, she wondered how that had been possible. She had not even called his number from the card he had given her earlier. So many questions raced her brain that she almost forgot to answer the phone, it was about to go off when she answered it."Hello." Elise said."How are doing Elise, I'm sure you are wondering how I got your number but don't worry about it, I just had my ways." Replied Logan, he was sure that Elise would make a great fuss about it but since it was important they talk he couldn't wait till she decided to call from the number he had given her."Mmmh, okay" Elise responded. She was too tired to complain about it."How have you been? I've waited so much for your call." Logan said, he had wanted so much to speak with her but had been holding himself back. He could only busy himself with trying to find ways to finish off his brothers."I'm just fine, l'm sorry I haven't had time to call you." Elise explained. "You don't have to worry about that, l'm sure we'll find time to talk. So where are you right now? Logan asked, hoping that Elise would tell him the truth about her situation."I'm just at the outskirts of the town, I'l be starting work tomorrow so I'm looking for a room close to my work station, I won't be staying back at home." Elise responded, she had wanted to lie to him but saw no need of doing that, it's not like he would do anything bad against her."Have you gotten one, I can help you with that if you won't mind.," Came Logan's charming voice."About that.... I'm really not sure if you could help me get one here, I've made rounds since morning but none of the rooms meet my budget." Elise respondeddesperately. She wasn't sure if she would be able to get one. The only ones that could be available would definitely be far from town and it would become a realchallenge when it came to commuting."Why would you say that, I'm sure I could help you get a better one. One of my friends just moved abroad and had been looking for someone to care for his apartment when away, he didn't want to let it out to strangers and requested me to help him there. Would you be willing to help me with that." Logan said hoping he sounded as convincing as possible.Elise on the other hand wondered what luck could be on her side that day. She thought about it for sometime and responded."Logan I'm sure you don’t know much about me, why would you trust me with that, I'm sure you could find someone trustworthy enough to rent it out." Elise in her heart however prayed that she would not miss out on this important offer."Elise from the moment I saw you I knew in my heart that I could trust you, plus it's not like you will disappear with the apartment, I just need you to help me here while I help you as well, trust me Elise that this would be a great deal.""I also promise to never again impose myself in your life just like what Idid with your contact, I promise that would be my last, just so that you can trust that all these I did in good faith." Logan added. He was beginning to feel desperate about Elise, no womanhad dared try his patience ever since, they would end up dry within seconds. Logan was amazed at the kind of effect she had on him."It's alright Logan I guess I have no choice but to accept your offer, it would really be a great help to me now that I'm only getting started at work.""Thanks so much Logan, I wouldn't know how this day could have ended but I really appreciate your help. I however hope that you would keep your promise." Elise added."I promise you Elise, I would never go back on my word""Let me get your location and send someone to pick you up and accompany you to the apartment." Logan said."Thanks again Logan, I'l just wait here "Elise responded and the line went dead immediately. She hadn't gotten enough rest and continued laying down hoping the guy who would be sent would arrive later. Since she hadn't slept well the previous night due to the uncertainty of herfuture coupled with the long walk in search of a house, Elise didn't know when she had fallen asleep.Elise was woken up by a guy who had parked a car beside her, she looked confused at first but realized her situation, she however couldnt tell for how long she had slept."Sorry miss to have woken you up, I have been sent to accompany you to an apartment in the city, could you please come with me." Said the short guy. He seemed to be in his early thirties, not eye-catching but handsome enough.Elise only nodded at him, she was too tired to even talk. He led her into the car as he helped her with her luggage.The drive took around ten minutes before the guy pulled up infront of a heavily fortified building. Being led throgh the gate, she had her fingerprints taken, but all the while she was awed by the beautuful and definitely expensive building. Elise even wondered if she would meet up to the standards of that place.The driver led her to the elevator and pressed on the 36th floor. From what she observed the building had 37 floors. The elavator stopped and the two got out and infront of them stood a single door. The attendant had the door opened and she was ushered in, the two guys turning back. She opened the door and was met with a beautiful sight to behold, the seats were made if expensiveleather, and the decorations around the house was definitely worth more than her life. Elise dropped her suitcase on the floor at the living room and made her way through the entire apartment. It had three huge bedrooms that she wasn't sure what she would use all that for.Getting to the balcony she was amazed at the beautiful view of the city from high above. Elise was sure that at night would definitely be the best time to watch the city from high up. Looking closer out Elise realized that she was familiar with one of the buildings within her sight, her place of work. What a wonderful surprise, she won't have to board any car while going to work daily. It would save her a lot from the expenses.Having had enough cool air, Elise headed back into the apartment and called Logan appreciating his kindness towards her, he had become her life saver. After the phone call Elise made her way into one of the bedrooms and had a shower, she then dropped on thewarm and cozy bed immediately falling asleep.Elise had slept through the rest of the morning and got up early in the afternoon. She had been woken up by the pangs of hunger that wouldn't let her get any more peaceful sleep, it was also a blessing in disguise as she had to prepare herself for thenext day. She made her way to the kitchen, she definitely knewthat she wouldn't find anything there but decided to tryout her luck. Opening the refrigerator, she was shocked to find it fully stocked with fresh vegetablesand ingredients. It was like they had just been brought in . Elise was left wondering whether someone who had traveled abroad would have that pile of food.Elise however decided not to think so much about it and prepared herself the easiest meal at the time, spaghetti and sausages that were easily available.She felt no need of heading back to the dining table and decided to enjoy her meal within the kitchen. It tasted much better than she had anticipated. Back at home since every dish prepared included alot of people d
The moment the computer got opened Ella felt herself suffocating, did it mean that she would lose her job, from the director's facial expression he was definitely mad and Ella knew better than anyone to keep quiet. Obviously she had been the one who picked up a fight with Elise. The video stopped playing and immediately Mr. William looked up at the already shaken Ella. She was a really beautiful lady full of potential but it was a shame they didn't entertain such characters at the company."Now that it's clear that Ella started it all, Elise you are allowed to leave and report to your station, I’ll deal with Ella myself." Mr. William said.Elise the moment she heard this verdict jumped up in happiness, she immediately scurried away from the room not wanting anything more to do with the case."Now Ella what more can you say about this?" Mr. William asked. Ella who had been previously scared suddenly changed her approach, she knew she was doomed and had to find a way of escaping this em
"Of course sir, it would be a great honour for me to get such a rare opportunity." replied Elise. The outcome of the situation wasn't something she had really envisioned. God might have been on her side that day, it was a great opening for her career as their company and her would be exposed to the world, this would definitely be a booster to her career."That is settled then " the manager said as he made his way out. Ella who hadn't been able to accept the new development was fuming with anger, how could that useless girl beat her and get such a huge deal. She wasn't going to accept this when she knew very well that Elise could not beat her. She was about to follow after the manager and complain about when suddenly the secretary met him halfway down the hallway informinghim about the important guests waiting for him at the office. Ella stamped her feet as such an opportunity escaped her.Elise who was so elated about this hurriedly went out, she had to share this great news with her
It was late at night when Miranda received the weekly magazine, she had an obsession with fashion trends and had to get the highly coveted magazine. Checking the cover photograph she got so shocked that the magazine slipped from her hands and dipped itself into the basin of warm water that she had soaked her feet in.What had Elise just done! Did she know the consequences of being in the limelight for someone like her. Miranda felt cold sweats forming on her forehead. Elise's mother had tried so much to keep her far away from the prying eyes of everyone yet she just destroyed all her hard work. The council better not find out about her existence, the striking resemblance between the two could never escape anyone's keen eyes.There had once been a prophecy thousands of years ago about the birth of a human witch who would wipe out the entire witch existence. Every witch knew about this prophecy but never thought it could be fulfilled, it was a taboo for a witch to have relationship with
On Tuesday morning Ella made way back into the company, today they had been scheduled to officially start their photo shoot at an undisclosed location, but first they had to report to work. Ella made her way to William's office, after she tried reaching him the entire night with no reply she knew that she could only find him at work. William's secretary the moment she saw Ella sneered at her but all the same let her inside, the previous day she had peeked at the director's office after Elise had left wondering what the two would be up to several minutes after Elise left. She was shocked to find the two kissing passionately. She closed the door immediately and went back to her station, as though nothing had happened."Good morning sir, Ella the moment she got inside and found William seated elegantly on a chair."Good morning Ella, what could I do for you today." Inquired William, yesterday's temptation was too much for him to bear, he had almost shouted her name when he made love to
At the Vampire world the brothers were getting weary from the fight, none of them had been successful in eliminating each other. It had taken a great toll on them moving up and about across their world consulting the oldest known vampires but none of them could reveal the secret.The only ex-king that lived, Gomez's father Jeremy had disappeared immediately he handed over the throne. The three brothers back at the palace had almost lost hope, only Roman and Thomas had decided to take a break for the day while Roman decided to drop a bombshell on Thomas."Bro I think I better get going, we have turned the entire world upside down and got nothing, it's now your fight." Roman said and got up from his seat. The two had just come back from a three day search but went back with nothing. Since it hadn't been his aim to become king, Roman decided to distance himself from anything that might cost him his dear life, he might be caught at crossfire."What do you mean by get going, you promised t
As the fight raged on between the two brothers, Logan was deep in the forest in the Pacific Island being miles away from their world. The island had been deserted years ago due to the dangerous spirits that hovered over it, harming the lives of those who lived there. It had been rumored that the humans who tried to explore the area recently hadn't been seen ever since they entered the island.Logan who was so bent on his mission felt that nothing in this world would make him turn back right at that moment, besides he wasn't human so he felt nothing would dare attack them. Logan being accompanied by his two best men had turned the place upside down but still got nothing.The three men decided to have a rest as they replenished their energy and drink from the blood banks they had carried. Logan had retreated under a tree for shade while Nate and Jordan engaged themselves in a conversation. He admired his friends from a far. Ever since the two got together they always supported him with
Logan made his way back to his friends going through the dense forest, it was already noon but there was no sign of the sun, the sky was gray with no sign of life. The trees seemed dull not even swaying their leaves to flaunt their beauty, not even the birds of air could be seen flying around, it was like even nature was mourning the life of the infant. Logan was lost in his own world, the pictures from earlier still fresh on his mind. Did he just kill his own son.Among the vampire clan the first born sons were the most powerful among the family members. An idea that had been passed on from generation to generation talked about a war that happened centuries ago between the witch clan and the vampires. The vampires were able to win this war be installing a powerful force made up of firstborn son. The witches hadn't been spared and most of their population was reduced. Up until now the witches hold only a significant number of people. This is also attributed to their strict rules again
