Chapter 10_____________________________________________Ahmed's POV.The day had been really hectic for him. He's been hopping from one meeting to the other, trying to finalize some deals he needed to push the market for his newly designed plate ware. His family were also buzzing his phone off about the preparations for the girls graduation. What was his business with that?Now he had to deal with the interview that his erratic secretary had set up for him without his notice.He could easily have postponed it for another day, seeing as he just left another unscheduled meeting – but he just wanted to get it over with. The graduation was closeby and he didn't want to be caught off guard with one of his dad's tricks. The Maitre 'D quickly approached him when he walked in, fully recognizing who he was. This has been his favorite restaurant since he started learning the hands of the businesses his father was slowly introducing him into back when he was younger.The ambience carried a ca
Chapter 11___________He left the restaurant without getting anything, his mum had called him and told him over the phone that one of the twins had confronted their dad about the issue on the position of his company, it did not end well.He didn't know why he was going, but he felt his siblings needed him, and that was enough reason.He pulled up at their mansion, honking for the security guard to open up the gates for him. The gates slowly did so themselves– his father must've gotten a new security system in place.The security guard was on the right side in a cube like stationary– his buff frame hunched over as he controlled things.He waved warmly at Ahmed when he drove past him, even though he simply acknowledged him with a nod.Although there were multiple people going around the house getting stuff fixed in time before the graduation party, the house still felt tense and cold. He didn't feel welcomed in the least."Ah, i wasn't expecting you to come." His mother softly exclaime
Chapter 12_____________Allison's POV.After my shocking revisit with a chapter I thought i had closed, i stopped by an ice cream shop to cool down.My thoughts weren't in alignment and i was now much more worried than i initially were.I had thought my boss giving me a second chance at my job meant I'd be killing two birds with one stone– i didn't realise that i was throwing a boomerang whose trajectory set me as the target.Did this mean i don't get to even keep my former job?He wasn't exactly nice but he wasn't exactly his usual mean and condescending self either.The thought that he might've felt somehow betrayed and would want to exercise his punishment by not giving me any of the jobs left my body in fritters.That simply meant I'd end up not only not paying for my fashion school, but also not being able to foot pressing bills.I hit my head on the small plastic round table in remorse, 'what was i thinking!?'"Be careful, or you might break that dainty table– i hear they cost
Chapter 13_____________My jaw dropped as his black BMW stopped in front of one of the most beautiful mansions I've ever beheld.The gates were welded so intricately, i felt it needed to be in an art gallery instead. They opened up themselves after Albert looked at a small square screen and spoke– it seemed the security guard was on the other end, controlling things."Wow.." i mutter in awe as he drove into the compound. Neatly cut hedges lined the ends of the driveway in a heart like line– as the fountain of what looked like a sculpted version of the spirit of ecstasy lazily jetted thin streams of water from its wings.At the far end of of a few marbled steps laid the mansion in all its' glory."I grew up here y'know, my dad died when i was just a boy– his boss took me in. He's like a father to me but i call him Godfather." He chatted as he pulled up at the end of the stairs, he seemed to enjoy the nostalgia he had indulged himself in."Why do you call him that?" I asked inquisitiv
Chapter 14_____________The silence in the car was so thick, i could slice it with a knife.He held the wheel and stared blankly into space, what was going on in his head?I looked out the window, my heart thrumming due to the tension in the car." You were going to get another job?" He mused outloud. I turned to look at him, dumbfounded by his audacity." Well, you weren't going to give me the job anyway, were you?""I never said that." He retorted, i scoffed. Of course he'd say that."What do you want from me!?" I shouted, fed up with him.He shifted uncomfortably, not expecting my outburst. "I told you my secretary was going to call you."" When has that, in the history of job searching ever been upheld?" I asked.He rubbed his face with both palms, frustrated. "You told me to leave without so much as a glance my way. Was i supposed to read your thoughts?""Of course not! I just wanted to think it all through, you already had the job." He affirmed. I stared intensely at him, to
Chapter 15____________It was noon time when we arrived at my place– after i had to direct him because he wasn't familiar with that side of town.It felt odd as we drove into the neighborhood. It wasn't a bad place to stay, really– it just wasn't eye pleasing and i found myself feeling small as we drove further.His mood seemed to have eased off as he tapped in a tune like way continuously, and would bob his head from time to time."Your neighborhood is pleasant." He said absentmindedly to my shock. Wait, he liked it?I simply blinked and looked out the window to see what he was seeing. The houses were built in such a way that they looked cramped even though it was every individual to their apartment. There were litters of over spilling trash here and there which the garbage collectors haven't come to pack up yet, or maybe they simply didn't care.Overgrown grasses here and there because everyone was to busy sourcing for their daily bread to care.I could see some kids at the far e
Chapter 16____________The next day started out like any other day.I could hear my neighbor's birds chirping from a Far I raised my head from my bed not ready for the day. I didn't know what I was to expect just like how yesterday went.But I got up anyway and got ready. Amanda was still sleeping as I made breakfast, again just like yesterday, but this time she was not splayed across the only couch in the room.I wasn't frantic when it came to getting ready because I was not disturbed as to whether he was going to fire me or not. So I took my time to prepare.I left a note for mandy, telling her that i was gone to meet the "hottie" as she had grown fond of calling him. The weather was nice just like yesterday and I enjoyed walking the street rather than finding a means to commute.I got there around ten o'clock, after taking my time to absorb the morning rays and rush hours.Unlike before, the brown building didn't seem to loom over me intimidatingly again. It gave me more coura
Hello lovelies, so I'm having a little writers block, because school's been really hectic lately.I've been trying to squeeze in a little writing time between lectures and all of that, but it's either I'm too scatter brained or word-empty to come up with anything.and i know the joy of reading a book is in the consistency and continuity of it so, i promise to drop a chapter tomorrow wether I am as empty as a vessel or not, lol. my timetable looks a little less bulky, so hopefully.i Love all of you all my readers so much❤️ Thank you!
