Sophia’s rest was great. It was the longest, sweetest nap she has ever had for months now.The beautiful hue of orange-gold light in the cloud sent some comfort to her soul and she opened her eyes faintly to see dusk approaching.No one was in the room with her and she almost shivered in the hushed gloomy room that stared at her, void of life.Her heart raced to fear once more and she took her phone and ran downstairs.Upon getting downstairs, she met her dad alone in the living room without the presence of Joana and Kelly anywhere around the house. “ Dad, why is everywhere so cool? Where are my sister and Kelly, I can't find them anywhere around” She rolled her eyes around again to see if they were in the kitchen too.Simon dropped the remote in his hands, his eyes scanning Sophia carefully as she walked apprehensively to sit beside him. He would blame himself if anything bad happened to his only daughter. Dark lines encircled Sophia’s eyelid and as he scanned her carefully, he co
“ Are you sure he would be happy to see that you brought your friend to his house unannounced?” Joana asked Kelly. She just came to realize that Kelly’s Anthonio was not her ex.The address to Kelly’s boyfriend's apartment is different. Her ex does not live around Cabbagetown.“ Don't worry Joana, Anthonio is a cool guy. He wouldn't mind, trust me” Kelly assured and smiled.The traffic was quite horrible. It was almost 6 pm and they were just getting to Cabbagetown after an hourWhen the cab finally hit their destination, the two ladies exhaled and chorused,” Thank goodness” Kelly slipped $ 400 into the driver's hand, took her handbag, and then dragged Joana off the car.“ Let's go. This is his house, "Kelly said. She sipped the last smoothie they had gotten from a very good spot and trashed the can In the bin outside Athonio’s house.Joana stood gazing around the beautiful environment still sipping her smoothie.She was still sipping it when Kelly grasped the can from her and
When Anthonio returned from his fruitless chase for Joana, Kelly was on the floor wailing and crying her eyes out.Lucas, Anthonio’s friend consoled Kelly but it seemed like his baby was getting terrified by Kelly’s helpless state and was about to give a loud shrill cry.He has to take the child back home to his nanny. It was getting late. Even though his house was not far from Anthonio’s who just moved in some two weeks ago, the child needs his nanny now.“ Take it easy on her, man! I know you are hurt but don't try anything stupid. I have to take Jimmy home, it's late already. I'll see you In the morning “ Lucas said, patting Anthonio’s shoulders.Every little thing was confusing Lucas’s upended shattered world and he needed a serene place to think about himself. His wife just passed away while having Jimmy, the baby she left behind for him to nurture. His company was going bankrupt and facing the surging wind with the worst cyclones Anthonio took Jimmy’s hands fiddling it b
“ No Kelly, you are going nowhere tonight. You could end up in serious trouble ” Jonana tried to stop Kelly from leaving.Kelly kept running her fingers deftly on everything that seemed to belong to her, trying hard to stay with the golden decision that she had made.Joana grasped Kelly's hands to talk to her but Kelly flung her hands off without saying a word, dragging firmly her bag to leave.“Honey, what are you doing? Where are you going tonight? Please don't do this to me, don't leave “Joana clutched her hand at Kelly's bag trying to drag it back but Kelly was fierce. She dragged the box forcefully away and Joana almost went off balance. The fuss was distracting Sophia and Simon who were at the dining table battling with their food. Neither of them had a clue that Kelly was leaving the house that night.Accommodating Kelly was not a tough thing for the family. Kelly was a likeable person who hardly copes in a dull place. Her presence in any place was noticeable because of her f
The night was unfriendly and the Morning did not hesitate to come with a beautiful hue of blue lights that could make one suddenly fall in love without minding the things it would offer as the day spread its wings.Last night, Sophia had returned to see Matthew lying drunk on the bed, heavily drunk. She sorrowfully glanced at him and managed to lay by his side, bearing his bad breath. As the birds kept chirping their beautiful love songs and flapping their wings, Sophia stood up from the bed, having a throbbing headache and a horrible dream altogether. It's been five days since she has been in her father's house. The loaded peace of mind, the lovely company of her family, and her unexplainable joy were truncated the very moment Nanny’s call came to her phone. Even the very stunt that Kelly pulled last night did not break Sophia. Her mode changed immediately after she received Nanny's calls.As she tried standing up from bed, Matthew's voice interrupted her.“ You flouted my rules a
Matthew has never snorted any substance in the house before. He stopped snorting drugs a few weeks when he met and he had been pretty responsible, acting chaste and reserved but today was different. Even at the sight of Sophia, he kept on lowering his nose to snort the heroin he poured on top of the dressing mirror. Great euphoria swallowed him and his body shuddered as the sensation of the drug took over his bloodstream.He gave out a boisterous laughter, shifting his nose.Sophia stood frozen, unable to lift her cold feet from the floor. Her eyes darted around what her husband was snorting and she suddenly felt like dying. He snorts drugs and she never knew this all along? Matthew wheezed and turned to Sophia with dizzy eyes. “ C’mon baby, you should have a taste of this” he stood up, staggering to Sophia.“ So you deal with drugs? I've been with you in this house and have never noticed?” She asked, dragging a foot backward from the attack of Matthew. He gave out a loud l
“ Who are you? What do you want?” Sophia ran after the lady. How can some stranger walk into her house in such a disrespectful manner?What shocked Sophia the most was the fact that the lady was very acquainted with all the rooms in the mansion. She never struggled to find her way inside Sophia’s matrimonial room.“ Hey come back. Somebody help me” Sophia screamed for help and just as she would least expect, the young lady opened the door to the room and slammed it forcefully. Thrusting the door open, Sophia was shocked to find the lady already sitting dominantly on Matthew's like some crazy bitch.Matthew had gone crazy a long time ago from snorting Heroin and did not hesitate to start finding his way to sliding in between the lady's legs without pardon.What? Matthew knew the lady? Is she his mistress? Sophia kept battling with those questions in her mind.“ What is going on here? “ Sophia asked, breathing heavily from the shock of all that was going on.Matthew and the lady gla
Chandelier lights glimmered in the opulent mansion. The beautiful hues of the light added beauty and uniqueness to the house and everything the light penetrated.It was a Tuesday morning and Shawn stood before the mirror getting dressed for work.Yesterday was pretty hectic. The company has undergone a series of changes, new structures were put in place and a few other structures were dissolved. Sterling Group was lagging in certain areas of development and Shawn was ready to pull it on a crest to skyrocket. The board of directors meeting took quite a full moon yesterday. Shawn has implored some intelligent strategies that will pull the company to heights in the globe that other companies cannot compete with. Aside from the board of directors meeting, Shawn still had a business meeting with the CEO of Qui Tec, who just came from Los Angeles. It was a whole day and Shawn had ended up coming home very late and fatigued As he stood by the mirror, fixing his tie, he suddenly rem
