Isabella's POVAfter a long while, I am much more calm now.Thelma decided to engage the both of us.She said to me that we could start doing some surveys on everything that we wanted.That way when someone asks us we can give a rough explanation about it.She brought out her laptop from her bag. She then sat close to me.She began to surf the internet.She was checking for business plans and strategy ideas.The courses that we needed to take, the kinds of books to read, the proper things to put into consideration when starting up a business, ways by which we can have a profitable successful business and the like.I liked her drive and it inspired me to want to do more for myself.She was already a practising nurse and I'm just amazed at how far she has come and how far she is willing to go to bed just what she desires.She listed out a few things we saw on the internet concerning starting up a business after she then moved to the actual type of business.At first, I wondered why she
Making dinner with Thelma was fun, I enjoyed every bit of it.As soon as we were done cooking, we made all the necessary preparations and we served food to everybodyIt seemed to me like these old ladies had taken in the thoughts of always wanting me and Thelma to make dinner.It's some sort of a shared responsibility now, where they were fully in charge of breakfast, even though I and Thelma still render our help to them: While the dinner is solely left for the both of us to makeHow cunny of them, I scoffed.After dinner was prepared, we all ate and gist over the meal as usual.I cleared out the table with Thelma and cleaned up the kitchen. It was like we had some kind of routine now.We later joined the ladies in the living room for another movie time.A few minutes into the movie, I realized I hadn't come down with my phone.I had left my phone upstairs all this while, I had completely forgotten about it.This attitude of mine where I leave my phone in the room and I will be somew
Isabella's POVDon't you agree with me I asked her.I faced her squarely now to see her face properly.Her cheeks were all rosy red as a result of how flustered she was.I have made her somewhat uncomfortable and I could tell…It was like she didn't want to talk about it or she didn't just want to have the discussion altogether.If I think back now I can body say she has one way or the other avoided this kind of conversation between us about her.She wasn't as open to me as I was to her.That hurt me in some type of way.Did she think that I wasn't capable of being a shoulder she could rely on?Or she feels like talking to me will be a burden for me.If she thinks that way, then that will even hurt me more.“Isabella, she called”Yes, talk to me I answered with a concerned voice while I walked us both to the bed so we could sit.“ It is not like, I don't agree with you. In true talk, I do know that having a friend would be very nice”.“I would not dispute the fact that Andrew is a nic
Isabella's POVAfter some time, I gave in since she said she was going to work on herself before she would be friends with Andrew.I believe that she knows what's best for her.We have been in the room for some time now and we were supposed to go join the ladies for the movie time they proposed we all should have.Thelma said to me, won't you call Nate instead since he has not called you?I was being petty at the moment as she didn't yield to my suggestions so I answered her pettily.I know what to do, do not tell me, I snapped at her.I felt sad immediately for saying something like that to her and I thought she would get angry at me.I looked at her face and I saw her stuffing her laugh, instead of being mad at me for my childish behaviour, she was laughing.She didn't take my childishness to heart and it made me happy.He was the one who promised to call me back today.Let's go back downstairs but I will have my phone with me should he call, I'll be able to answer him then.She mad
Nate's POVThe drive from my office to my friend's place took me a little over two hours as a result of traffic.The journey was supposed to be a one-hour fifteen-minute journey on a good day.I got to his building and I was searched by his security men before I could enter his house.He has a very strict and thorough security system.Reaching his house I was met by one of his men, he then told me that my friend was waiting for me at his study and he led the way while I followed him.We went upstairs, then through another entrance by the hallway and he stopped in front of a door and he knocked on it.I heard my friend from the other side of the room answering, he told us to come in which we did.Hey! My friend, Mr Dan Felan, greeted him.My man, Mr Nate Miles, he answered.Calling out our full names was a way we greeted ourselves, it was like a sort of custom for us.We shook hands and he told me to sit.He then gestured to his men to leave before we started talking.The last time I ha
Nate's POVI totally agree with Dan, I do know that I need to do something about all of this.Recently, I have had a lot of bad people around me, though I am no saint but I think I have had my fair share in this twist and turn of events around me.I was even close to death a few weeks ago.I will have to visit the house and see my mother, I will need to see my father too.I do know that even though we are not on good terms he has been keeping a good close watch on me.I won't be surprised if he knows some of my movements or affairs.The thoughts of going back home made me remember that I would have to see and deal with my older brother too.I have always been inferior to him and I have been compared to him in abilities and capabilities since I was a little child.He was always obedient while I was rebellious and he took the opportunity to buy my father to his side totally.He is one of the main causes of the clash between me and my father.I do need to deal with that too.My father to
Nate's POVI called Andrew to get me a hangover medicine and met me at my office.I got dressed and waited for Andrew.He got to my office not long and handed Mr the drug.I used it instantly.He knew something was wrong so he asked.Boss, what's the matter?Did you go somewhere?Why are you drunk and we don't know about it?I didn't think you had even been drunk before boss.I didn't go anywhere but I got a call last night that put me off completely.I had to have some drinks but I couldn't stop so I drank myself into a stupor.What call was that? He asked.Don't worry, you will find out soon enough.Just go get the car ready, you will need to take me somewhere.I need to catch my breath a little so I will be down in a few minutes.Alright boss, he said before leaving my office.I rested my elbows on the table and I placed my head on it.I rested for a while before I eventually got up and left my office.I met Andrew downstairs at the parking lot with my office driver.He seemed to h
Nate's POV Yes, it's exactly what you heard.“FLASHBACK TO LAST NIGHT WHEN I GOT A CALL ON MY PHONE”.I got a call from an unknown number and I answered it after going back and forth to choose whether to answer the call or not.I answered and waited for the caller to speak first.Though they said nothing for the first few seconds and the call was awkwardly silent.Until I heard the voice of my worst nightmare.My own brother, the very one that his being has tormented me my whole life.Oh my goodness! Jack exclaimed before asking me what the call was about.That's like trouble calling literally, Jack added.You can say that again man because he actually did come with trouble.What does he say he wants from you now?The company, I answered Jack sharply without batting an eye.What?What do you mean by “the company”? he asked me in a furious tone.The affiliate of the family's business was portioned and shared with me.You know how I have worked day and night for this business.At first
