Things went on smoothly between them for the next few weeks with Alva being shy and tense towards him, and he is cordial towards her, and she wondered why he was doing all that.
Could it really have been Silas' influence on him or was he just trying to improve things between them, she wondered.She shook her head, that was not her concern now. She was in front of her family's house and was wondering what would be their reaction when they saw her. Would they still be the cold family that blamed her for the mistake she had done in the past, or would they be receiving of her now that she had done something for them?She mustered up her courage, sighing as she went into the compound, she would suck it up and find out herself. They hadn't contacted her since she left the house, and she wondered if they had just cut her off like that.The house didn't look like anyone was in it as she approached the front porch, and rang the bell. As expected their houRelated chapters

Alva splashed a bowl of paint onto the canvas she was working on, the blue of it staining the edge of her cloth, and she smiled, “this is going to get messy”. She picked up the next paint which was a red one and splashed it onto the surface too.“Hey gently, it's not like you will clean it up when you're done…” she smiled at Jessie who walked in, the tray of chocolate drink in her hand looking tempting, “You're around,”“Mm, I heard you humming when I walked in and knew you were here,”“Oh,”“What are you working on?”She looked at the messy canvas she was yet to blend in and pointed, “A sunset landscape with flowers in the garden,”She smiled, “That's going to look beautiful,”“I know right,”“Chocolate?”She shook her head, “Not yet, let me get a head start on this, and I'll join you,”“Okay,”She picked up a brush that was on the chair and started blending the colors, the mixture of blue and red bringing out the color she wanted, a purple background with darker edges and a lighter

Alva sat at the island of Jessie's kitchen restaurant that afternoon as she stared at a blueprint paper in her hand. She had a cup of chocolate in the other which she sipped and faced Jessie, “so this is the paper planning for the event you have coming up, right?”She nodded, “what do you think of it?”“I think it is splendid…if you'll just explain a little bit to me,”Jessie chuckled while rolling their eyes, “So, typical of you, anyway…” She collected the paper to explain, “this is the main hall where the event would take place and these are the arrangements for it,”“Oh…”“"The party would be a standing reception setting where guests would stand around tables and mingle with eacother,er and the food stands would be set up at different corners where they could easily be accessed. As for the drinks, waiters would be around to serve guest”,"“"…..but why standing reception though, won't it be better if they all say dow”,"She shrugged“ "May, butut standing reception makes it more fun.

The ray of sunlight was what woke Alva up the next morning, and she sat up in her bed with a groan. She had had far too much to drink the other night and the effects were hitting her in the face now, more like in her head.She held her head with a grimace.Her clothes from last night were still on her body making her uncomfortable and the hair she had tied up in a messy bun was now loose and messy. She stood up to take them off. The top and trousers went off first, followed by the bra and pants she had on, and she stepped into the bathroom where she took a shower.The shower was quite refreshing and comforting, and by the time she was done, she had half of herself back. The other half was still held down by the pounding headache, and she decided to go downstairs to get something, probably a cup of coffee or a hangover soup.She shook her head, she couldn't have that as she didn't know how to make it, only Silas had made it for her the last time she had a hangover in his house. She sig

Alva sat at the island of Jessie's kitchen restaurant the next morning as they talked drinking coffee, and she grimaced at the taste. She had always disliked coffee but had managed to get herself pretty drank the other night, so she needed coffee, not chocolate to get over her hangover. She dropped the cup on the island after sipping the last drop.“So, what do you want me to help you with today, you called me over pretty early,”“Just some recipes I came up with last night and there's the planning of another event I got yesterday,”“You got another event planning job yesterday?”“Yes, one of the dignitaries liked the work I did for Mr. Verdson's party and wanted me to do his,”“Oh that's lovely, I'm happy for you,”“Yeah, thank you,”She pursed her lips as if remembering something, “Ah who were those ladies that talked to you at the party, they seemed pretty familiar with you after we went back to the hall,”She grimaced, “Oh no, don't bring them up, I nearly suffocated because of

Jaxon slammed the file on the table that morning, looking outraged. He had the whole of the tech department present in the boardroom as he paced around, and the manager stood before him scared, what do you mean the package got infected, didn't you secure it?I did sir.Then please explain to me how a browser package created just yesterday got infected by a virus.He looked down, I sincerely don't know, sir.Apparently, you have to sit down because we have to decipher the problem, or we will not leave this place.He sat down and the rest of the employees adjusted in their seats, including the manager,Let's start with what you used to secure the package, of which quality was it?He walked into his office later that day with a loose tie and worried face and got surprised when he saw Erin in the office waiting for him, “Erin, what are you doing here?”She stood up to kiss him on his lips and smiled, “I missed you,”“You missed me?”“Mm,”“But Erin, you know you can't visit me in the offi

The room was the same.The smell…The atmosphere…Everything was the same as six years ago, and Alva groaned in her sleep.*Flashback*She was sitting beside her mom's bed as she cried, oblivious to the dark stain that surrounded her head. The pain was there, but she ignored it, feeling a bigger pain in her heart.She couldn't die… her mom was unable to die, or she wouldn't forgive herself.She groaned against the sheets, “Mom, please just wake up, I promise not to run away again, I promise to always stay by you, please…just wake up,”She didn't get a reply as the machine kept reading beside her, and she cried not knowing what to do. Likewise, she was 16 years old girl with a father who went abroad for a business trip and her siblings were too busy doing other things they didn't know of the accident that happened.They tried calling them though, but it wasn't going.She sat up with teary eyes, “Hey dearie, I think you should go lie down, the doctor will call you up if anything changes

Jaxon tried concentrating on the papers that lay before him that morning as he read them, but couldn't just concentrate. He couldn't get the image of his father lying helplessly in the hospital out of his mind, and that was messing with his brain.“Mr. Jaxon?”He snapped out of it, “Yes?”“The chart on the board, it is showing the amount of revenue we have incurred in the past week and the losses we have faced that same week,”He faced the projector, sighing. He was in a meeting with the accounting department of the company, and he couldn't say what was spoken about in the last five minutes.Likewise, he cleared his throat, “Could you please come again?”“Yes sir,”They went over the explanations again helping him understand the terms, and he noted them down, “So we're making a profit of 20% per day for now right?”“Yes sir, and it will tend to increase due to the increased demand in the market for browser packages and hostings, I believe we can make a lot,”“Okay, that will be all fo

The sight was messy, to say the least, the next morning, with employees running around trying to salvage the situation and him watching as customers called repeatedly to complain to them, he was at a loss for what to do.He had never been in such a situation before and didn't know how to react.“What is the extent of the damage?” He asked the tech manager at their meeting later that day, and he stood up to analyze.“We have the computers infected with viruses and the hijackers are taking control,”“So, what do you suggest we do?”“We have to shut down all our systems at least for today in other to clarify the whole thing,”“But we can't do that, other businesses under our jurisdiction would be affected and that could make us lose value and goodwill,”“There's nothing we can do, sir, I'm afraid. This could spread if action is not taken now, and that could cause even more damage,”“Okay do it, but we need only one day right?”“Yes, just today,”“Okay then I'll send a message to all our
