View MoreAs Ashley arrived at the top floor of the building where the meeting would take place, she halted in her steps to size up her environment. With her body balanced on the side of her waist in style, Ashley pulled her glasses slightly below her nose bridge to access the meeting room when she saw some staff entering and a man setting up the projector.“Hm!” she huffed sharply and with pride; “Guess I’m not late after all” she uttered.With a swift movement of her arms, the droopy beaded work on her well-tailored blazer swirls around freely giving her a strong and sophisticated look. There’s no doubt the aura she emits from her presence alone even without doing much but this morning, her goal is to power her confidence to the highest level to intimidate anyone who would dare to come close to holding any meaningless conversation with her and her dress sure didn’t disappoint.Decked in a well-tailored blazer with matching trousers that accentuate her most beautiful feature; her long legs. As
“Alright then buddy, I’ll be at the lobby for now so if you need my service kindly notify me 5 minutes before ” Optimist informed as he adjusted his glasses.“I see you’ve learned to take a break now” Rhett teased his friend who rolled his eyes with sarcasm as he walked out of the door.Rhett’s gaze was intense as he watched his assistant leave, his face covered with paleness and infuriation. The whole of his huge body settled into his task chair, the swiveling base spring to action with his back leaned on it and swiveled slowly towards the window side.As if calculating his size, he looked lost for a while before finally realizing something that had him glance at his wristwatch and then the window behind him.He pulled on the blinds to see Optimist entering his car, the one he had driven to the school and not the official car for business.AT THE SCHOOLIt was closing hour and Ashley had arrived earlier than usual to pick up her son. While she had Mr.Fred do more of the official work
“What do you mean to say, Kristian? come to think of it, you don’t share his last name. Silly me” Miss Smith mumbled.“You’re from a prominent family so you must have met him one way or the other. I think I get it now.” She added with a smile.Kristian then had a rethink. If that’s what his teacher wants to believe then it’s probably for the best. He just wanted to talk to the nice man he had met countless times and in those meetings he had developed a liking for him not knowing that he was no one else but his biological father. The excitement was there and for containing it this well only proves how strong and intelligent he is at his age.“You may return to your seats” Junior grabbed Kristian’s hand dragging him back to their chairs.“I hope he finds me before leaving…” he thought to himself staring at the window.^^10 minutes later^^Rhett didn’t know he could come up with a perfect excuse that made sense for the situation he found himself in.The offer he made was surely going t
“Prepare the car, I’ll be done in five” Rhett informed his assistant over the phone with urgency. He removed his overcoat from the hanger, taking it briskly and struggling to slip on the overcoat.Any father would react that way if they got a call from an impossible lovable relative.Rhett never expected to hear from his little boy, the fact that he had reached out to him out of nowhere has somehow fueled new hopes and direction in his life. The coincidental meeting at the party was different, he should have known right from there at the party or the delightful energy he felt from him at the hotel when they first met.Luckily, the elevator was vacant at the moment else it would be a great pity for whosoever was available at that minute to fall prey to his bad side should they be using the elevator when he’s in a rush.Long strides into the elevator, he glanced at his wristwatch excitedly, unable to accept the faster pace of the elevator.Finally, the elevator stopped and as its doors
“Ugh…I shouldn’t have taken that milk” Young Kristian groaned in pain with his fistful hand clenching his tummy. It’s been a while since he had homemade food and he seems to have eaten beyond his usual diet at dinner.He could not stop turning and churning in bed and at first, he thought of alerting his mother but that was soon replaced with fear of worrying her in the middle of the night so he decided to visit the restroom first.Kristian struggled to get off the bed, the urgency of his plight overshadowed his sleepy motion.Some minutes later, he was done.He heaved a sigh of comfort the moment he arrived in the cool space of his room. He stretched his body and was about to go to bed when his hand pressed against an almost invisible button while aiming for the light switch.Taken aback by a faint robotic sound and the light bulb still shining bright in the room, Kristian gasped when he saw a space opened up in the wall and a box came into view.“Wowwww” Kristian dragged his amusemen
“Kristian? Where’s my son?” Ashley made an outcry as she jumped down the numerous stairs. Her steps in twos and threes at this point.Clara, the house's new Chef was getting ready to leave when she heard her Madame's voice from the second floor.“Madame, is everything okay?” she asked in concern.Ashley tan right into her stretched hands and grabbed it desperately “I can’t find Kristian” she stated with a hitched breath, her face pale and composure chaotic.“Mommy? I’m right here” Kristian’s voice sounded right from the corridor as he made his way to the scene.Ashley let out a heavy sigh of relief as she looked at her little boy, her body tilting towards the ground still in Clara’s grasp.“Why are you so scared ma’am? Did you see anything strange?” Mr.Fred asked glancing over at the windows with suspicion.Kristian walked to his mother’s side to give her a warm hug “You look scared Mommy…” he alerted her, his jaded eyes piercing into her deep blue ones that were now downcast with emo
Rachel’s attempt to get the old man’s full attention was successful judging by the fullness of his weak eyes on her.With a sly movement from her end, Rachel wiped the imaginary tears from her eyes and started; “Grandfather, I know I shouldn’t be telling you this since Rhett hasn’t briefed you about it yet but I can’t take this anymore” “You’re still not talking Rachel, you don’t have to continue crying when I’m here listening to you” “Apologies grandfather. It’s just that my stepsister is back in town and she’s been threatening my position since she got back” She explained.“What? How? I thought she was reported dead 2 years ago after she disappeared without traces” “We all thought she was dead until she showed up alive. That girl didn’t even visit the family that took care of her for once, she’s hell-bent on seducing Rhett and taking revenge on me” Rachel’s brows drew together in anxiety and her hands grabbed onto the old man’s hand desperately.The old man gently removed his ha
Ashley banged her hands on both sides of Rhett’s broad shoulders and pushed him away with all of her force which of course was a little effort of hers that Rhett decided to honor. Not like she’s strong enough to fight him off. Her breathing intensifies and she can barely move her body from the spot. Ashley’s eyes brimmed with tears and redness as she suckled her lower lips in anger which impeded her breath for a few seconds.Rhett felt a sting on his lower lip and he licked the bloody cut with a sickly smile on his face, watching Ashley battle with her wave of emotions. “Now get in the car Ash” he ordered with preeminence.As much as she wanted to fight back and challenge him right on the spot, she could not find the strength to do so, and anything that would come out right now would be nothing but tears. And she has promised never to show her vulnerable side to anyone ever again.Ashley glanced over the set of broad shoulders before her and scanned the busy road ahead with a calcula
“Have a nice day Mommy” Kristian waved to his mom with a polite smile as he joined the rest of the kids walking inside the school building.“Yes sweetheart, have a nice time with your friends and study hard,” Ashley said but in a matter of seconds, the smile on her face faltered when a bigger-looking boy bumped into her son on purpose with a mischievous grin on his face.“Uh uh… what is that?” she queried with raised brows as she started to approach the gate.But before she could speak out to call the attention of the teacher, her son had bumped into the bully to fight back.Collective gasps were heard as the boy fell face flat on the rocky ground and as he raised his bruised head, other kids started laughing at him while his minions sympathized with him.“How did this happen? oh no” The female teacher exclaimed, rushing to his side to help him up.“If you’re someone of that size then you should be careful with your movement. Sorry man” Kristian said with shrugged shoulders; he then t
