Laughter roared out the entire hall as Niel and his friends toasted to their success. They had all gotten what they wanted, so was in together to extol their victory of becoming what they wanted to be. Niel could now finally take over his father's company by next week, Sam his father's agency and while others like Jake and Osten had been accepted into the model industry. Vigorous job it was for the guys but a drop of sweat brings success."Alright guys I need to leave. My mom might start talking once again." Sam said, taking a last sip from his beer before preparing to set off."Come on, you're joking right?" Osten asked."Why?" Sam asked, completely lost in the joke. He gaped at each and everyone and noticed they had a look that said he was dumb, besotted on their faces."You're in college okay, you need to stop that Mama's thing. Or, someone else will mama you." Jack said, making everyone burst out into series of laughter with the exception of Sam who scratched the back of his neck
The bodies were taken away by the ambulances successfully and the area was being tidied up while the blood was being soused. All seemed to be going well as the stain of blood was washed away but the pain in Niel's heart escalated every second making him roll on the floor vulnerably.The guards had to drug him earlier on away from the sight of others but his eyes withheld the time their corpse was being taken away. He cried all the way and even forced to free himself from their arms but some policemen came to help drag him away. Because of how vulnerable Niel looked now, it drew tears into a few officials' eyes as they felt depressed for the young man. The officials left him with the guards at the nearest motel and left."Life is so cruel." One whispered to his friend as they made their way out."I know right. Did you think he knew this would have happened to him." the other replied."Hmm, that is why you have to be conscientious. Death is a friend to all, but never will inform you wh
"So, that was the beginning of my sad life." Niel said, coming back to time where he and Jessica sat quietly in the hospital room."What is the end like?" Jessica asked with curiosity, making Niel chuckle."Easy sweetheart, I will continue that another time" Niel said turning his head towards the insensible Drake lying serene, almost lifeless on the bed "With the both of you. Just pray he wakes early. The doctor said he needs something that will encourage his spirit. Something precious that can link him back to our world." Niel said and paused as he shrugged his shoulders.There was silence for a while in the room as Niel was thinking of what could probably bring his son back to him."I will bring Nicholas." Jessica said, making Niel turn towards her direction."Who is Nicholas." he asked with a raised brow telltaling one of confusion."The baby." Jessica said "My son..Drake's son." she added, smiling brightly."""This is for you and once again, happy birthday my love." Eduardo said
Someone knocked on the door, and he had to whisper as he always does to allow that person in. The door opened revealing Jessica, but this time she wasn't alone, as she held a baby in her hands.Niel immediately jolted up, walking as fast as he could towards them. Jessica smiled at the old man who made his way towards them, happy to see something precious with her. Not that she was not someone unique, but who would be calm if he saw his grandson for the first time."Come in, come in. Come, sit here. Watch his head, his cap might fall." He kept saying enthusiastically, His blood boiling and his hands itching to get a hold of the baby. "He's just eight months yet look how big he has grown".. he said. The baby's little eyes twitched, as it opened revealing his sapphire eyes which looked just like his father's. Niel's words got stuck down in his throat, as he stared at the baby.He stared at Drake, and then back at the baby. Jessica, as if aware of what he is thinking, stretched the baby
"Can I have some time with him." Jessica asked as she looked in the direction of Niel, beckoning him to give her and the unconscious Drake some time."oh oh yes yes, you can have some time while I take a little walk around the ward, or maybe I might grab something later. But do you mind if I take him along, I can show him around?" Niel asked with the most pleading look Jessica had ever seen and never had an idea he even had one.Just as Niel asked this, the baby gave out a tiny laugh which later turned into a smile as it rubbed its tiny eyes. Just the laugh of the baby alone made Niel feel like he wanted to announce to the whole world that this boy is his grandson.Jessica, just seeing this made her heart erupt with joy as she realised how the old man had grown interested in her baby in just an hour. Whenever someone would show some love to the baby, or the baby did something beautiful and cute in her sight, it made her always bemoan how she had treated the person who gave the little
He stopped in his tracks and just stared at the shadow, which was in a form he couldn't identify. Deciding on what to do, he moved to the left and almost immediately, the shadow moved also, blocking his path. He moved to the right, and the process iterated again.He looked ahead and behind the Shadow at the light which kept sparkling like diamond, moving in circles, then there it was again, the voice *ple..ase wa..e up*. For the first time, he could hear it a bit clearly. Breathing in, he held it in that way for a while and then let it out.He opened his eyes with determination, and started to run forward, the fastest he had ever gone. The shadow ran in also, as it tried to attack him, raising its shadowy hand and whacking him on the shoulder. Drake let out an enormous scream, as pain rushed through his whole body. He fell face flat on the ground, groaning in pain.The Shadow jumped a few feet back, standing at its position before, In Front of the light. Drake lifted up his head to lo
As she stared into the reflection of the mirror, she gasped at the sight. She looked as dead as a doornail. Her face looked so pastel and she had dark bugs under her eyes. It was not her fault though, she had to prepare herself for the interview tomorrow, she couldn't just let a job opportunity as big as this one slip through her fingers. Tomorrow will be one of her greatest days and one of the most dire ones too. It's going to be as elusive as a dream. Deep within her heart, she was filled with blithe and to be candid, she couldn't wait to step foot in the company.Her father had always complimented about her life in school and to be direct, praised her for her ingeniousness. She herself cannot accumulate the number of times she had dropped first in class but can recall falling third once, but even so, it was the cause of her illness and short break from school.She neatly ironed her apparel for tomorrow and brought out some brand new shoes she had set her eyes on when she went shop
She searched her eyes around the whole area, before fixing her eyes on the green scenery which greeted her eyes. It was the magnificent balcony for the J's Collections and one of the most beautiful places in the company. It might be a fashion company, but it's one of the companies with the most beautiful designs and interior.That shouldn't be something new though, since Jessica is the daughter of one of the prominent men in the continent, she should have the money and everything to build up a company up to this great stage. ' Money was like nothing to that family', people would say whenever they see Raphael out there flaunting his wealth to the outside world.In a week, about eight different sports cars would emerge from his house, with him being the same person steering the wheels. Rumours have it that he has thirty percent of his father's shares and therefore he is gaining one third of the money the company makes.Another rumour was that he could spend over twenty thousand pounds a
