41. THE APOLOGY
PETALS POVI planned to visit Pamela again after leaving work in order to confirm if the broken windows had been fixed but I got a text from Irene that Monica needed us badly. I knew the content of the text without her having to explain further because we all knew what our weaknesses and problems so it was not new.Immediately I saw the text, I knew her father had acted up again and it was one of the days when she was at her weakest.“Oh Monica, please be fine” I kept muttering to myself, trying hard not to panic as I packed up for the day and left for Irene’s house.The rain suddenly poured down when I dropped down from the bus so I had to wait for the taxi I ordered to come before moving to Irene’s house where I met them wailing in the rain.How broken could she be for her to cry this much?

PETALS’ POVI was at the office when the interview with Chairman Antonio came up and he apologized to whole public for the trouble his sons caused to the people and the employee involved.“I am sorry that I am lacking as a father. I apologize for every inconveniences their actions might have caused. I will make it up to everyone affected and as from today, the waitress will be under the care and welfare of our company” he stated and gave a small bowEveryone in the office clapped at his humbleness and I couldn’t close my mouth in awe. He was a man I respected all my life and with everything he had been doing, my respect for him was only increasing rapidly and I was sure that would be the same for almost everyone, seeing their reactions.“He’s just so humble and meek. Not everyone would be willing to apologize publicly for their sons’ mistake. They would only try to cover it up with money instead” I muttered, trying hard not to blush as I waited for the water for my coffee to boil“You

43. SEE YOU THERE
His teary hooded eyes bore into mine as I watched him look at me after insisting that I should be at the dinner party with him. I didn’t know the right answer to give since I didn’t want to hurt both his feelings and that of Mei.Stammering, I answered “Hmm.. if that’s what… that’s what you want then… I … I have no choice”, finally surrendering, there was nothing I could do after all.With a heart fluttering wink, he blurt out “I will see you there” before excusing himselfI was torn between wanting to run away because of Mei and seeing what the party itself hold since I had nothing doing. I knew that Mei liked him a lot so I didn’t want to be a disturbance to her love story since she rarely falls in love with people but once she does, she tries all her best to keep it.“I have so much pride as a human but I don’t mind or keep it when it comes to the person I love. I go all in and all the way” she once told me sincerely and I could see that trait in her relationship with Ray even thou

Pamela came back to work since her leave was over and Petals couldn’t be happier. She didn’t waste any time in rushing over to the company’s café where they usually meet and saw her in a stunning orange knee length gown and white blazer to fit, her white covered shoe was also dazzling from afar as Pamela glowed in her own halo.“Wow! Is this the outcome of breaks? You look so dashing and your glow is blinding” Petals wowed as she closed in on her but Pamela was only blushingBrushing the tip of her hair to the back of her ear, she responded “I decided to step it up a bit but I guess everyone is getting hit with my hotness” Petals paused at her shameless for some seconds before they suddenly burst into laughter together. Admitting her sentence, Petals said “You are indeed stunning, I am also a victim of getting hit with your hotness” before they dragged each other to a seat where they caught up on everything they had missed about each other.“Don’t you think you need to find a new hou

45. KILL HIM
We settled at a table and few minutes later, Pamela and Stanley were both ushered to the same table.“Oh my! Petals you also came?” Pamela remarked innocently and I tried giving an awkward smile“Well it happened that way” I said to her, avoiding the gaze of Stanley“I didn’t know you had connections with the host. Wow! You are full of surprises” she expressed further and for some reasons, I felt the need to brag.“The host is my best friend and we have been friends since high school” I spelt out, making Pamela mouth opened for a split second“Wow! That’s so nice. I never knew about that but I am jealous that you know influential people” she blurt out and my eyes rolled immediately“As you should be jealous” I thought to myself, fanning my neck with my hand.Both Stanley and Ray kept silent and watched us display whatever we had up our sleeves until Irene showed up again, this time she went to Ray directly.“Mr. Ray, I’m sorry I couldn’t greet you properly the other time but I have be

I was always poor at the suppressing my emotions and I knew it would put me into trouble someday.Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder and I jumped with a little shout before turning to see the same person I was running from standing right in front of me.My mouth parted open but words wouldn’t come out of my throat no matter how I tried.“What’s wrong? Is something the matter?” he asked, his brows raising alongside his wordsWhat’s wrong?

I mean” I became disorganized before I to

48. HER STORY
BEA’S POVAt the question of Petals, I didn’t know when I broke down into a heartbreaking sob. The memories of her that flashed in front of me were devastating. She was a generous person that didn’t deserve all the ordeal that she went through in the hands of everyone who did evil to her.“When I first joined the company, she was the only one that extended her hand to me. She made sure that I was comfortable and taught me everything I didn’t know. I was able to blend in this way because of Vera” I explained, trying to mop the tears all over my face“Did Tina and Amanda bully you too?” She asked, leaning forward“They tried to do that but Vera saved me and took the hits for me” I responded“You told me earlier that she was generous with all her things, why did they pick on her then?” she questioned“Her husband got himself a mistress and stopped doing everything he was doing for her previously. Everyone started noticing and asked her but she was always keeping silent which got them ang

50. I KNEW
I couldn’t believe what I saw on the news. How could they release him just like that when the evidence we sent in was so clear and glaring? Nothing was working for me and I knew at that point that it was their handiwork, they have been blocking every articles I posted so it wouldn’t affect them.“He even shook hands with the Chief of Police? What is happening in this country?” I voiced out, brushing my hair back in anger“I told you that we are up against people who have connections in high places. These people eat at the same table, shake hands with one another and also cover up for one another. They are not people someone like us can touch” I heard a familiar voice say behind me and I turned to see Pamela standing behind me with her arms folded around her chestClosing my eyes for a few second, I turned to face her “But this is just not right! How will Vera even sleep or rest in peace if her oppressors are laughing, giggling and walking around freely? This woman went through a lot a
