****ONE MONTH LATER*****Ludo, Lance, Kate and Walutanga came out of the Magistrate court excited. They had managed to put the criminals behind bars. Naveen was sentenced to forty years imprisonment. Ben cooperated by being an informant and his sentence was reduced to 10 years. Grace was put in a mental hospital. After Mapulanga died, she somehow went crazy.“Ludo!” Melanie shouted at Ludo.Ludo went over to where Melanie was. She was with her husband and son. “Hey beautiful family,” said Ludo.“Congratulations to you Ludo” Melanie’s husband said.“Thanks Norton and thank you Melanie,” she hugged her. “You really helped us clear Hunter's name.”“No problem dear. Where is he by the way?” Melanie asked. “He never came to trial. Not even a single day. The moment he was released after that arrest, he went AWOL.” she said.“That’s Hunter for you,” Ludo replied with a smirk.“Anyways, We are going now.” Melanie concluded.Ludo pinched Zeus’s cheek and waved them goodbye. She went back to La
Eighteen years later. "You're fired!" Alexandro Kings shouted at the man who cowered by the wall. The poor man expected this verdict but when it came, it still filled him with trepidation and anxiety. "Please sir, I'll rectify the situation." "Don't bother, the deed's been done. No fucking way of rectifying it." He barked. "Please sir, I have children at ho...." But he cut him off, "That one's not my issue, James. You fucked up at your work. That child died because you didn't do your job. You're the manager of that orphanage for crying out loud! because of that, you're fucking fired. Use the door or I'll throw you out myself!" He glared at James, at this rate, James knows better than to keep begging. James jerked upright and scurried out of the office. His secretary, Mrs Brown--more like personal assistant--shook her head slowly, she kept her voice as soft as possible because knowing Sandro for as long as she had, she could recognize this particular mood. She waited patiently t
Alexandro King took a deep breath thirty minutes after he sent his secetary, Maria, away. He tried to calm himself, he reclined on his office chair.He even shouted at Maria, he doesn't like shouting at the older woman at all. She's a good friend of his aunt.His aunty, Aurora, the woman that practically raised him liked Maria immediately she entered the company to visit him five years ago. They became good friends and Maria had always been very good woman and secretary to him.Sometimes, she even looked at him with motherly eyes...His heart hardened. He's nobody's son at all.His mother established that fact when she lost interest in taking care of him twenty years ago, she turned to alcohol and smoking. Gianna was never any body's idea of a mother. She was very bitter.Ronald, her husband--his father--always neglected her. never being at home, smoking and drinking, even drugs.He'll always come back home in the middle of the night; drunk, stinking of drugs slurring around. He'll en
Christiana finished dressing up for her new job and stared at herself in the mirror.Beautiful. She was dressed in a professional white suit gown, and a flat white shoe to go with it. It is her first day at work. She hopes that she'll make an impression."Oh, Christiana. You're going to bag that job, in Jesus name..." she whispered to herself as she turned around to stare at her back, "Amen."She got out of her house and locked her door. Her eyes automatically went to TheKings. She glared at the huge mansion.Too bad it belongs to that rude and arrogant man! All those flowers are wasted there. All of them.She sighed in regret and turned towards her gate. No thinking about her horrible neighbour. Today's her first day at work. She does not need anybody to ruin it for her.That in mind, she turned and walked out of her gate.An hour later, she arrived in front of the orphanage. Smiling gratefully, she paid the taxi driver and waved at him cheerfully as he drove off.Then, she stood in
"You." Was all he said."Yeah.... Me." She licked her lips nervously, shifting uncomfortably on her feet."I take it you're the new Emergency nurse." He said coldly, his eyes unreadable.The manager looked between the both of them, bewildered. "You know her, boss?""Oh I know her. I know her very well." He drawled in an accent.Yap, I'm fired before I got hired. I'm really going back to the convent, Christiana mused in her mind in defeat.Alexandro would have been amused at Christiana's reaction if he wasn't so surprised himself. She was the Emergency nurse?His eyes took her in, in a new way. Well, one thing was certain. She ain't going around with those beads and a white scarf that hides her hair and covers her forehead. It was also starting to make sense the way she took so much offense about his snarky comment this morning.Because Hot and sexy here grew up in a convent. This will be very interesting.Philip, the manager seemed to notice the tension that filled the room. "Errm....
Christiana entered her house quietly after her angry neighbor left with another heavily muscled guy with tattoos around his arms, the guy seemed friendly though as he waved right back at her.The unfriendly one among them was Alexandro, her boss.After that day she found out that he was her boss at the office, she'd never seen him again and she was ever grateful. She didn't know what will happen when they saw each other again, so, she'd been avoiding him.Christiana walked into the kitchen, checked her cupboard. She settled for cooking noodles, Tomorrow is a Sunday, she'll cook fried rice then.She was making the noodles when she heard the noise coming from the door, as if someone was trying to open the door, waves of fear washed over her.Who would be trying to open a closed door without knocking?.She made the sign of the cross in agitation, walked to the door and opened it. Duke stood there, tongue out looking at her,"Hey! Duke you almost gave me a heart attack." Christiana breath
Eyes wide open in the middle of the night, Ludo was horrified with whatever bad dream she was having. She tried to move her head but to no avail. She could only move her eyes. She could see most of the things in her room but couldn’t reach for them. She usually slept with her bedroom door open. She tried to scream but her voice failed her. The more she tried to move, the difficult it became. She felt a presence in the room and became even more afraid. Her eyes shifted to the door in hopes of seeing her mother coming to her aid. She saw an ominous shadow at the door peeping. In seconds, she felt a weight pressed against her body that she failed to breathe. Her body was paralyzed and there was no way to fight the paralysis.“Ludo!” Her mother shouted entering the bedroom.Ludo saw her mother sitting beside her but she still couldn’t move. Her mother just sat there and watched her.“Mother,” Ludo whispered after relaxing.“You are awake?” she reached for the pillow and moved Ludo’s head.
You see what you have done Joe?” Ludo’s mother asked her husband.“How could I have known Zamiwe?” Joe touched his head. “It was going great, I don’t know what happened.”“She told you she didn’t want to go but with your arrogance, you had to make her go.”“Is it a crime to go out with my daugther Zamiwe?” Joe’s eye brows bumped together in a scowl.Zamiwe knew better not to irritate her husband. She knew he had the same rights as her when it came to Ludo. Despite their differences, Ludo was for the both of them. They were just both overprotective of her.“I didn’t it mean it that way Joe,” Zamiwe answered thoughtful.“I know she’s sick and I care for her. Don’t make me look like a bad parent please!” Joe sunk in his chair.They all became quiet and lost in their thoughts. Ludo’s condition had taken a toll on the both of them. Instead of bringing them even more closer, it pushed them apart. They all had different opinions on what treatment she needed and in the end, Zamiwe always had
