"Aha!" Judith exclaims suddenly, seeing what she has been searching for right above her head. "Here it is." She pulls down the small peach coloured box above the shelf and smiles.Ivy watches her curiously, she had been looking for that hours on end while keeping her in conversation, asking about her parents, educational background, life's dreams and wishes and all those unimportant things just to keep Ivy from becoming bored or sleeping off, although Ivy wouldn't have slept off even if the place was silent.Judith opens the box and brings out the one dress that's neatly folded inside the box.Ivy's eyes light up. "Wow.""Right? I love this dress so much but I couldn't wear it on my own wedding..." Judith leans in and whispers "I ended up eating too much the night before due to wedding jitters so it didn't fit the the next day. You can have it."Ivy bursts into laughter, and then stops."But it's white..." Ivy mentions, running her hand on the neckline of the fabric."And you've marri
Ivy pays the taxi driver as she exits the car.She had come to the town along with Grant so she didn't have a her own car with her.She had called Richard earlier when she was leaving the Wrights home and now she's here.Standing outside for a couple of minutes, looking on the exterior of the home she had lived for three years. The house in itself was the only solace she had to herself whenever Richard went out to work or to any other place that didn't require her tagging along with him.She stands by the door and knocks.No response.She knocks again but there's still no response on the inside. She tries the door handle and the door opens.That's weird.What if something happened... She enters the house and looks around and seeing nothing out of the ordinary. She closes the door gently behind her."Richard?!" She calls out and still there's no response from him.She drops her bag and the small box on the couch and walks past the couch into the dining room.Richard isn't there, and ne
"He's banging the door very hard on the outside sir, no one is responding although I can see two silhouettes inside the house in the living room. One's obviously a woman with her long hair and the other is a man." A man across the street in a small mini cooper reports on the phone while watching the incident in the house ahead with a binocular held firmly in his hands.Outside, Ashton suddenly grabs the flower pot and slams on the door's handle, hard. On the second hit, both the flower pot and the door handle come apart.He pushes open the door and rushes inside."I can't see them anymore but Mr Ashton has gone inside..."Inside the house, Ashton opens the door to see a half naked Richard trying to force open Ivy's Jean trouser's zip while she's fighting back, hitting him with the handbag in her hand snf trying to push his straying hands away."Come on, don't be so shy. Didn't you always want this?" Richard laughs drily, only having eyes for what he's after. Seeing red at that moment
Richard groans loudly on the cold, hard floor for about twenty minutes before he can even move any part of his body. Managing to shift to his other side so he's turned to the door, he curses. "Those mother fuckers. They didn't even have enough courtesy to close my door."He looks closely at the door and then notices the clay on the ground along with the heaps of sand. "He broke it?! And my door handle? He'll pay me back for it. I'll make sure. And I'll make sure I get my..." He groans loudly again, the pain in his crotch stinging like a mother fucker.Suddenly, a movement by the door catches his eye and he looks up abruptly. "Who's there?"A man with a huge build comes inside, bending slightly to avoid hitting his head on the door frame. "Hello Mr Richard."Richard frowns slightly, unable to see his face as he's backing the dimming evening sun. "Who are you and why are you inside my house?""I don't think you should be the one asking the questions but for the sake of clarity, I'll say
Judith rushes out, happy to see her youngest child and only daughter, Raine who travelled to finish her education.Now, she's a complete professor."Raine, welcome home." Judith welcomes her daughter with a big smile on her face and moves to hug her.Raine just side steps her and walks away.Judith looks at her daughter's back as she retreated into the house, frowning deeply.She's only just returned and she already has an attitude?Judith follows her inside, waving the driver away."Raine? What's with the attitude? You just came back and you can't even say hi to your mum?"Raine keeps walking and ignoring her.Judith stops following her. "My own children are the ones giving me an headache now." She mutters turning around.At that, Raine stops in her tracks. "What did you say Mum?""Now you call me Mum? Neither of my own children are behaving like they are worthy of being called my children."Raine scoffs. "That's why you kicked big brother out right? Because of some woman?"Judith fr
"What are you doing?! Come on, let me go... I'll give you everything I've got, just release me." Richard pleads and begs on his knees with a black cloth tied over his face.A gruff laughter echoes in the room. "What have you got to give me that I don't have already?" The unknown man asks, sitting in the shadows and watching the man tied less than ten feet of him.Richard shivers for some reason. He doesn't know this voice and yet it seems so familiar to him... Fear clouds a person's memory anyway. "I have a lot. I am Richard Wright. Just let me make a call to my family and you'll know how far my hands go.""Your family? That whore you sleep with? Or the actual Wright's who exiled you less than a month ago?"Richard swallows. "I see you know everything. Just let me go, I'll do something for you, anything.""You can't even do anything for yourself than try to force yourself on your ex wife. Disgusting idiot."Richard scoffs. "You're a man, you will understand if I say some women deserve
Tiara saunters into the lobby of CR Group and waltzes right into the elevator, either way, it was a win situation for the receptionists because nobody was ready to face Tiara that morning.It's eleven fifty am.The receptionists watch the elevator doors close and they laugh. "Does she think she looks good in that?""Well, does she have to look good? It's all brand names anyway, I don't care about looking good, looking money is what matters."The others snicker and shake their heads."If she's here by this time, that means boss must have given her a deadline. I can totally see him saying if she doesn't arrive by twelve, their meeting is cancelled."Others laugh. "Now that you say it too, I can totally hear it in my head. She seems to look so cool but she's probably trembling inside, wondering if she misses her appointment.""Totally. She used to cling on him so much, I was kind of surprised to hear their wedding got called off but I think I understand boss.""Really? Do you know what h
After a pretty uneventful day at work, Ashton leaves for home, his family home to see Raine who he hasn't seen nor heard from from quite a while.Anytime he's curious about her and calls, she doesn't pick up and for all those years, he has to pick up news about her from Judith.And now she's back, he's already hearing things about her from a third party...A third party that has obviously met her.Ashton chooses to drive himself, letting his driver go for the day, having the rest of the day off.Inside, he parks his car and heads from the front door. He reaches out and opens the door and steps inside."Mum? Dad? Raine?" He calls out as he enters, seeing nobody within eyeshot, he looks around and enters the main living room where, on the couch, Raine and Richard are laughing at something they both find funny.As soon as they both see him, they stop laughing simultaneously, giving him in unfriendly looks with their eyes."Now you have time to come say hi? It's almost twenty four hours s
