The couple immediately left the haunted house and went to their next destination. As soon as they had left, the man who had been tailing them suddenly appeared from his hiding place. He looked at their disappearing silhouettes for a while before he continued to tail their back without their knowledge. On their way, Ethan happened to come across an old man who was selling flowers. An idea popped in his mind as he smiled in satisfaction."Baby, go ahead. I'll be with you shortly," he turned to Aviana and informed her. Aviana didn't know what he was upto. She nodded slightly before she walked away. Ethan walked back to the old man who was selling the flowers. The Oldman wore tatty clothes that seemed to have been repaired severally. His hair was gunmetal-Grey. His eyes were blood-flecked because of his old age. But, they were a sparkling, blue color and he seemed to see everything. "Hey mister. What type of flowers would you like to buy?" the old man asked him, when he approached. He ha
"Are you okay? Do you feel sick?" Aviana asked, worried. Then, she raised her arm and placed the palm of her hand on his forehead to check his temperature.She frowned.His temperature was definitely normal? "Honey, I'm fine. I do not feel sick at all," Ethan simply said, while he smiled at her."Are you sure? Then, why are you sweating?" she pried."I guess....."he paused for a moment as he tried to look for to find a better reason to tell her.He continued, "Because, the sun is too hot. Don't you feel it?" he lifted his shirt up and tried to blow air into his body, pretending to feel hot for real. However, Aviana wasn't buying it at all."I don't buy it! The sun isn't that hot to make anyone sweat!" she frowned while she spoke. The next moment, as if she thought of something, that could be the reason why he was sweating so profusely, she moved closer to him. Her eyes on him didn't falter even for a moment as she asked doubtfully,"Ethan, ar-are you afraid of heights?" She had notic
Ethan walked behind her while he smiled proudly. He took out his phone secretly, and typed a message before he pressed on the send button. At that moment, a deafening bang reached their ears as fireworks exploded and scattered thousands of tiny sparks into the sky. Aviana instantly looked up to the sky. The impressive display of the fireworks made her Jaws drop. Immediately after, the words, 'I LOVE YOU AVIANA,' were clearly visible on the sky. She was speechless. Infact, speechless was an understated way. She knew, it had to be definitely Ethan's doing. What had she done to deserve such a man like himself? It turned out, the accident that happened to Hayden in someway, happened for a good course. A good course like them meeting each other and being together?Tears welled up in her eyes. They were tears of joy, though. Had she ever been happier in her life? She turned to face him. Looking at the man who stood in front of her, his smiling face was just an out of this world type o
On the following day, which was on a Monday morning, Aviana woke up to the alarm snoozing. It was around seven o'clock in the morning. A yawn escaped her mouth as she sat up straight on the bed, picked her phone from under the pillow and turned it off. Then, she climbed off the bed as her feet stepped on the tiled floor. She wore her slippers which were arranged on the side of the bed and walked straight to the bathroom. She carried out her usual morning routine from washing her face, brushing her teeth, taking a bath.It took her a whole thirty minutes and she were done with everything. She walked out of her room and headed downstairs. Hayden was already dressed up in his uniform and was sitting at the table having his breakfast. Her mother was also around. She took her place at the table and ate her breakfast heartily. Soon, she was done and was ready to leave for work. "Mother, I'll take Hayden to school, today," Aviana said to her mother, who was approaching them from the kitchen
Today, Aviana wore a classic, brown pencil skirt that was made of leather material and a simple long-sleeve silk blouse, white in color. She accompanied the outfit with a pair of black high heels, giving off a polished and professional look. She matched down the corridor while still holding hayden's small hand in hers. Other parents were still bringing their own children to school, lessons were yet to start, the teachers had to be in their offices waiting on the bell to ring so they could go to their respective classes. Seconds later, they arrived at the office and were standing outside the door. Aviana raised her hand and wanted to knock on the door. But she hesitated when she heard the sharp and sour voices of a couple of women as they conversed, inside the room. "That good for nothing teacher came to school early, as usual. She is surely doing pretty well....""I think she is just putting on a show. She is only doing this to impress the parents and have them favor her. Seems her
Scarlet walked inside the coffee shop. She only had her phone in her hands. She was quick to discover where Ray sat, so, she walked over to him. She pulled out a chair that was opposite, from where he sat. Once she was comfortable in her seat, Scarlet placed her phone on top of the table and her hands followed suit and they were intertwined on top of the table. Then, her eyes met Ray's. "Scarlet, it's good that you came. I have something important to tell-" "Ray, listen. I know that you've feelings towards me. However, I cannot reciprocate what you feel for me. I'm sorry," Scarlet said in a low and soft voice, as she cut him off so suddenly. She thought he asked her to come over because he wanted to confess his feelings for her! So, she wanted to make things clear to him that she would never see him more than a friend. Ray was speechless. Yes, he had feelings for her, no doubt about that! But, that wasn't the reason why he called her out here. In fact, he had something that would
Aviana walked inside the CEO's office, as usual. She held a document in her hands, as she stepped forward. The document entailed detailed information about the CEO's work schedule. And, as his PA, it was her responsibility to report to him every morning on the activities that he needed to carry out on the fateful day. She said sternly, "Sir, the board members would arrive in fifteen minutes from now. After, you are required to visit the construction site. Also, their is a contract from the Westerni that needs your signature. That is all for today, Sir." Her tone was so serious, no one born of a woman would suspect they had a thing together. Ethan, on the other hand, sat leisurely on his desk, while he sipped his coffee and just stared at her without blinking. "Could you repeat what you've just said. I didn't hear just now," Ethan said casually, while he continued to stare at her. Aviana frowned. "What? Weren't you listening at all?" "I was listening, of course. I was just not
"Who's it?" he asked in a hoarse voice. "Brother, are you in there? Could you open the door, please?" Scarlet's voice came along. When Aviana heard Scarlet's voice, she cowered in Ethan's arms. "It's scarlet. What do we do, now!" she asked in a panicked voice. "I told you we shouldn't do this in your office! Because, I knew Scarlet would definitely show up! Now, she is outside the door! What to do! What to do, Ethan!" she asked as she broke out in a cold sweat. "Calm down, will you?" he laughed lightly, seeing how terrified his woman seemed. "Ca-calm down? Are you serious? Your sister is outside your door?" she almost raised her voice, but she remembered scarlet was outside, so she lowered her voice immediately. "God, if you save my face today, I promise this will never happen again," she murmured a silent prayer. Of course Ethan heard it. And, he laughed. "Are you so sure about that! I wouldn't make such a promise if I were you! Because, I'm definite it will happen again!"
