Dark days have come to stay and the morning is cast out without hope for a brighter day.Still in the kitchen, Sophia was lost in thoughts, plotting, and strategizing a way for her escape. Death was dancing gleefully before her eyes; Mother Earth calling her name to come to rest peacefully at six feet made for all immortal This was the time to say No to death. There was no one to fight for her in Matthew's mansion and the beast may devour her one of these days if she doesn't act fast.Nanny was not coming back and Chris was gone forever. As she walked, she could still hear loud music still proceeding from the living room and Sophia understood that Matthew was out of his mind due to too much intake of liquor. It was time to take advantage of his vulnerability and save her life.But first, she has to find her phone for an effective scheme.Having obtained an ounce of strength from the cornflakes she had eaten earlier, Sophia stood up and tiptoed out of the kitchen like a wild kitt

The loud knock on the door woke Joana up the next morning. Lifting her head from the bed, she slumped back to bed without saying a word.Again, the knock came on the door heavily and this time, Joana helplessly opened her eyes.Yawning, her cracked voice from her peaceful sleep managed to echo “ Hold on, I'm coming” She got up unpurposefully from her bed and walked clumsily out of the bed to get the door.The tingling of keys could be heard as Joana struggled with the door until she forced it open.As the door swung open, Simon came inside looking a bit worried. “ Uncle, Simon, good morning. Did you sleep well?” She asked, rubbing her eyes rashly.Simon’s face was not looking too good and Joana knew he might be worrying over Sophia again. Talking to Sophia was just like flogging a dead horse. She preferred her abusive marriage to her safety. “ Joan, I just spoke with Matthew on the phone, and just reacted irrationally telling me never to call Sophia again and that she was his

“ What's happening?” Joana’s crestfallen face turned pale as she narrowed her semi-closed eyes, peeking through the gate to see what was going on. As solemn as the atmosphere might seem, it was filled with disaster. Subsequently, Joana left the gate to go back home, Matthew came outside from the mansion and drove off to the company in one of Sophia’s cars.A smug smile accompanied with a scowl snickered his face. Each day is filled with great memories to reckon with. He always got what he wanted, and at least, for him, It's the definition of happiness. The business of drugs has dropped huge cash for him and even the company as well. Above all, he’s got power, affluence, and what more? The ladies. They fawn around him like bees buzzing around their honeycomb. He has an irresistible force, pulling them to his charms.They also loved the fact that he was some badass flirty fella, knowing his way around every feminine curve.He smiled, half jockey.That morning, he was late for th

The sky was bright and lovely. A cool breeze swirled the atmosphere, lifting every object that did not weigh to fly.Sterling Group has done quite great in the past few weeks with the new structure, and development put in place. Overall, the company has risen to a crest past the formal level, and no doubt, Shawn has done incredibly well since he became the CEO. Shawn Fabiola, CEO of Sterling Group and the only heir to the Fabiola empire, an Estate, glanced through the management’s proposal for the inauguration that would take place three days from now and smiled.Hosting the inauguration enormously was one of Shawn’s strategies to foster partnerships with the elites, and CEOs of prominent organizations, firms, and Groups.After glancing through the management’s proposals, he nodded his head slightly in satisfaction with the ideas the team came up with.Dropping the document, he glanced through his gold wristwatch, it was lunch break.Since he came back from seeing Joana two

Shawn stumbled into Sandra on the door, they collided and she almost lost balance but Shawn held her from falling.“ Are you okay? What are you still doing in the office at this time?” He asked her, scanning her deeply to know her motives.Has she been standing by the door, trying to eavesdrop? Well, his office was soundproof. All noise from the office was always muffled and couldn't pierce the ears of anyone. When Sandra regained balance after Shawn wrapped his hands around her back, she stood frozen, captured deep by the blazing eyes that could kill a woman.“ Ummm, I…I… I’m so sorry… I have been working, trying to… Umm—”“ Just go home, Miss Sandra, It's past the closing time “ Shawn cut in. The look on Sandra’s face was odd and weird, almost scaring the ghost of Shawn.It took a while before Sandra could come back to her senses and must have traveled far from the planet Earth. Shawn knew the ladies in the company were just dying of his charms and wanted him badly but he was ta
