Tessa
Dad was enjoying keeping mum and I curious. Since he pointed out he had a plan, ten minutes later he had not told us anything and we were almost emptying out glasses of the delicious Mango juice. None of us however seemed to be in a hurry to ask what the plan was. As long as he was punishing Gabriel I was happy and content."So, mum what happened to you?" I asked to end the long awkward silence. I could see a bandage on her forehead, similar to the one dad had a couple of days back and since Blake was not around who could have done that to my living hypocritical mother?"It's not like you care" she said and looked away twitching her mouth muscles. Something she did to show disdain. Now that was the version of my mother I was familiar with. Funny how the peace we made lasted for hours and it was not hard to tell who between us was pretending."I wouldn't ask if I didnt care""Let's just say your mother is ashamed to tell you Tessa" Dad joined in the conversaBlakeThe powerful rays of the morning sun penetrated through the white curtains covering the large hunt memorial hospital window. A cold breeze of fresh air filled the room, with my eyes shut I inhaled a lungful of fresh air and exhaled lazily spreading my arms and yawning loudly. My body was still aching but I felt great like I could make a step or two. That was good progress. "Good morning handsome, how are you feeling today" Anita said standing by the door.She really startled me to the brink of jumping out of my own skin. She looked beautiful in a white flowery Bodycon dress slightly above her knee caps. Her hair was tied into two pigtails, a warm smile on her face and a spark in her almond shaped eyes. Her well shaved legs were protected in two black doll shoes. She looked beautiful walking towards me and my mind put it all in slow motion. In her hands a tray."Good morning, you didn't go home? Where did you sleep?""Don't worry about me" she said and plac
BlakeThe butler was driving Mr. and Mrs. Wallace in their Royce, for the first time in a long time Tessa and I were seated behind an SUV holding hands on our journey home. It felt really good to be open close to her again. Sadly it took me being beaten like a thief and shot in frail gut by her lunatic brother for that to happen. I was seated quietly looking through the window. Everything was not back to normal yet so there was not much to talk about.My body was safe around her. Thanks to the hormones but my mind was not. It was still stuck to the employer- employee relationship. Her barking orders and me executing them and also...her watching me get mistreated by her family. Being fed lies and taking their word for it instead of trusting me her lover. Too much for love is built on trust."You're so quiet what are you looking at?""Nothing much, just Nature. You know I spend a lot of time in the manor, rarely walk out here...""You're making me feel guilty now b
The Wallace dining room was a piece of art. The floor was decorated with beautiful tiles. It had a sink and a mirror behind Gerald's chair at the head of the table. A set of lantern wall lamps hanging on the wall all round it and a huge beautiful minka lavery chandelier above the white ceiling emanating a faint yellow light that gave the entire place a golden touch. A long vanished table was surrounded with a dozen vanished dining chairs of great quality with rubber stoppers under them such that they made very little noise when pulled back. It really brought that appetite also.You could tell it was a feast with the kind of food that was being served. Two bottles of red dinner wine with a tray of glasses, a bowl of autumn royal grapes, sliced mixed fruits, sushi and roasted ribs, Chicken, plain rice, salad...all those foods were giving out a mixture of aromas that would confuse ones appetite. After everything was set to the required standards, the butler did the honors.But
AnitaDays after that magical kiss, I was still having mixed feelings about Blake. Wallowing in the mud of confusion caused by one simple kiss. An exchange of saliva. And it got me wondering how sex with him would feel like and what it was going to lead to. Blake had taken my mind hostage even without wanting to I found myself involuntarily thinking of him.One thing however was for sure. Blake was never going to be mine. He was so deep in Tessa's shackles and perhaps that kiss was just a mistake, he felt nothing for me. To him I was just a friend and he was forever going to treat me like one. Not bad, sometimes we need friends in our lives.But then again there was the audacity to dare hope for a future with him. When he woke up I was the first person he saw and he kept asking for Jordan. A son he claimed was ours. It was just a dream, and he was waking up from a coma but I took it as a consolation during that period of confusion that perhaps the impossible dream was on
In one of the few operating high end hospitals in the western side of the fort canon city suburbs. A dozen SUVs were parked. Huge men in black suits wearing wireless communication devices in their ears were standing all the way from the gate to the reception and the door of a VIP ward. It was obvious someone so rich was sick.Don Leon, the head of the Red Crescent Mafia group, the largest, dangerous and richest of all mafia groups in the entire country was lying in an adjustable patients bed breathing heavily with his eyes shut. A quick glance at their job description; causing war and havoc was on top of that list, kidnapping for ransom, murder for hire and they were good at making it look like an accident, if you wanted your competitors shop to blow up, espionage, if you wanted someone to disappear and never be seen again that was their expertise among others. It was even rumored that they were responsible for the war after election that was going on. Just a rumor that no one w
TessaIt was not until eight in the evening that the black SUV Blake was using glided in the compound. Watching from my bedroom window I kept tabs on him as he drove to the parking lot and then alighted carrying something like a notebook. He then walked to the Butlers quarters. Perfect time to confront him and remind him who was in charge. Since that promotion he had somehow lost a grip on reality."Is everything okay?" Dad asked when he spotted me walking downstairs. Perhaps my face was doing little to hide my frustrations and he could read my mood from it.He was seated on the couch with mum watching TV. They were cold, could sense some bad blood between them. "Am fine dad""You look so pissed off" pointed out the woman he married.There was still some unresolved issues between us and this time the crack was huge that I didn't even imagine us Seeing Eye to eye again. At least not genuine from either of us."Sit""I have to go dad" I insisted and wa
AnitaWhen she hung up I took a deep breath. Honestly my eyes were getting all itchy and I was a poke away from my tear gates breaking. It was hard to tell if she picked the Phone in his absence or if he gave it to her to get rid of me. Unlike the first time we kissed, the second time was off. The feeling for me was spine shattering but to him it looked as though the kiss was just normal with no impact on his emotions. The drama with the call just confirmed my biggest fear.That back there was a kiss of goodbye. There was a chance I had gotten myself hyped up on borrowed love and got myself lost under the impression that maybe he could be mine. My castle of sand built on the ocean shore of love got swept away days after being erected. I felt weak, used and stupid and since I was alone it was okay to cry. Let the tears of sadness and disappointment flow. But no, I couldn't even cry. A rough knock on the door forced me to wipe away my tears and clear my throat. The door opened
In the living room of the Red Crescent Mafia group headquarters, a lady was seated on the couch behind her two armed guards. She looked uneasy as though she wanted to run but she couldn't, it was a death wish and she was not that stupid to try and outrun hundreds of guards spread out there. Her name was Maria and she was the most important woman to Don. He walked downstairs in a silk robe with a glass of whiskey and a cigarette."It's really you" he said his gaze fixed on her."Why am I here Leo?" She asked angrily swinging back on her feet.The Don just smiled and took his time to get to where she was. Checked her out blowing the smoke in her face."You haven't aged that much" he said and signaled the guards to leave, "Anyway, sit please, you're a life saver am sorry about the last time we met things went out of control a little bit " he said and collapsed on his chair."Let's call a spade a spade Leo, why am I still alive?""Like I said you're a life s
