Lisa reached her home which had been abandoned, a small stone structure that had no sign of life, the only life there was the sound of the birds chirping in nearby trees. Lisa walked a few metres ahead and arrived at her friend’s home. Everything was as it used to be except for the newly built house close to the entrance.Suddenly Lisa head her name being called from inside the house which looked new, it was the voice she knew too well, she could never forget her, Shirley. Shirley had spotted Lisa through the glass window and couldn't mask the excitement she felt, it had seemed impossible to meet after they had moved out several years ago. Shirley ran outside and hugged Lisa so tightly as she called out her name."Is that really you Lisa, I can't believe it," Shirley said breaking away from the embrace. Lisa had a confused expression on her face, she couldn't believe that it was the same Shirley she had known years back."Why do you seem surprised, do you think I've changed so much?"
"How will you make everything right? You have a daughter Mike, are you planning on disappearing from my son's life too. If I had known I would not have agreed to be part of this," Shirley said and made her way back. It was of no use running after Lisa, she had been hurt pretty bad, herself she wouldn't know what to do if she found herself in the same position.It was three years ago when he met Mike, she had fallen in love with him at first sight. That had been her first time at the human world but she got lost. Mike professed his love for her only that he had been married. Driven by love Shirley helped him fake his death by taking a dead body and casting a spell on it so that it appeared to be Mike. He never told her that he had a child, just a wife whom he regretted having agreed to marry after being forced by his family. Shirley regretted the day she met him, he had come between the person she had regarded most in her life.Few miles ahead close to a nearby steam, Lisa sat down wip
"But do you think she had anything to do with mother being punished?" Bernice asked."I'm sure she is just bluffing, you know how Luna is,’ Miranda said."I'm so tired of those two women, can't they just get out of our lives and the palace too," Bernice said."That will surely happen, but not until Sophia released Lena from the spell,’ Miranda said and immediately a maid went to her and whispered to her, Miranda motioned her to bring her in."Sister don't you think we should begin searching for Maya, now that you are the queen you can utilize the kingdom's resources for that," Sophia said."You know that I just gained this position and everyone is still eyes me, but I'm sure within the next month we'll try something out." Miranda replied and at the same time Lisa made her way to where they were."Your highness, "Lisa said as she bowed slightly before Miranda and then the two other ladies."Hope you have good news for me Lisa," Miranda said. "So this is your informant," Sophia comment
Elise arrived at the location thirty minutes later, she wondered why Logan had chosen the most expensive hotel for them to meet up. Elise knew that she wasn't poor now that she earned thousands of dollars on a single photo shoot, but she would never throw away her money for such a hotel. She just hoped that Logan would not require her to pay a thing, she had a lot of investments to do.This time round she wasn't ushered into a private room as before. That was something new, she just hoped that Logan would not be playing any more tricks on her. Elise made her way elegantly after spotting Logan. Those present within the room were able to recognize her immediately and some discreetly stole photographs of her.She had dressed in a beautiful dinner dress she had purchased from Salma collection, she realized that she had to sell their brand wherever she went and true to her plans, various women were already admiring the beautiful and unique dress that she had on.Others were amazed seeing h
Ella cursed inwardly at Elise's fame and the attention she received from everyone. She was now on another level and Ella surely knew that she could no longer compete against her. Ella had to agree that she had lost to her, but she had to try and make a comeback, she remembered her father's proposition earlier on in the day.As she waited for her food, Ella remembered Damien, though he told her not to look for him, she had to try, he might be her only ticket to fame. Though she had sworn never to use her body again, Damien was an exception, he had shown her a world she wasn't ready to forget, maybe she could prove to her family for the last time that she could do better on her own.Ella made the call as her heart beat wildly as she anticipated his response, maybe he would lash out at her, but all these she would know after he talked to her.The phone was answered and Ella was in disbelief that she spent a few seconds trying to find words to tell him."It's me Damien, l'm sure you told
"Who are you talking about dear, I've been all alone here since morning, not even your mother stopped here," Don Johnson replied."Are you sure that Damien didn't come here? I just spoke with his father a few minutes ago and he told me that Damien was headed here," Ela said, she could not believe that Damien's dad could lie to her, for once she thought that she had gotten Damien back."Ella what's the matter, please have a seat and let's talk,’ Don Johnson said when he noticed the changed expression in Ella."Don't worry about me grandfather, I must have gotten it wrong, you know that a lot has happened and I might have been confused,’ Ella said as she sat on the chair next to her grandfather."I know dear, I'm so sorry that I left you all alone to fend for yourself, I should have done something," Don Johnson said. He blamed himself for all the woes his only granddaughter was going through, if we could say, the only legitimate grand child he had."I'll go to bed now grandfather,’ Ella
It was early in the morning at Salma Collection and the building was busy with activities, it was the firstmeeting between the investors and the shareholders at the company headquarters after the tremendous sales.Alma made her way hurriedly to the building, she was so much in a hurry preparing for the meetingthat she had notime for breakfast, though her stomach burned in hunger she could manage the few hours they were supposed to meet.As she entered the building she bumped into a seemingly hard wall that she had to move back and have a look at the rock she had knocked only to see Damien standing there unmoved. Such a nuisance early in the morning. All her documents had scattered on the floor but Damien didn't even bulge."Why are you standing there like I statue when you almost knocked me down" Alma said."It's not I who doesn't lookwhere I'm going," Damien said playfully as he sipped his coffee, the other hand was in his pocket."You have no shame at all Damien, just get out of my
"Don't tell me you think that I have personal relationship with her." Damien said."And why would I care whatever you have with her, it's not like you two are my friends," Alma said as she swung in her chair, she now knew what had caused her pain, the thought of Ella snatching away someone who had become part of her life. Though Damien wasn't really close and they had met for the second time now, Alma felt as though she had known him a lifetime, and thinking that Ella would take that too made her blood boil from within."I swear to you, I have nothing to do with her, she just threw herself at me on several occasions, but I had only one person in mind, and that was my goal ever since I saw her years back. She's just like a passing fly,’ Damien said, he had felt the need to explain the situation to her before things got complicated, he was sure to make her his, but it would be better toclear out things."Would you leave me alone, Ihave a meeting to attend and it's beginning in the next
