AVINA'S POV These past three weeks has been hectic and stressful. Immediately I got to the office, my workers did a little welcome party for me and presented me with some gifts which of course I appreciated. On getting to my cabin, it felt like Kate wasn't doing anything while I was away. The works piled up and I could see myself fainting and waking up while working. Carter was also helpful and sweet. Not like he helped me out with my works but he brought foods to my office most of the time I don't go out for lunch. The D-Day for showcasing our new designs was stressful and eventful. Elena provided us with top list models from her agency and she did the last walkway, which she graced elegantly with her poise, elegance and beauty. I met alot of people and new business partners introduced to me by my in-laws and Carter also, who wouldn't stop bragging and showing me off. While all these were going on, I excused myself to use the bathroom. On coming back, I saw
It is a very bright morning. The sun shone from the sky into the well-decorated room through the opened curtains. The birds chirped happily as they flew about in the sky. I kept turning around on my bed until I fell off. I groaned painfully as I stood up. Rubbing my eyes, I stretched and yawned lazily. I looked at the clock beside my lamp and realized how long I had slept. I was tidying up my bed when I heard a loud voice yelling my name. "Argh" I groaned, stamping my feet on the floor. "I'm coming" I answered back to whoever it is that was calling me. I finished arranging my room and then went into the bathroom to brush my teeth. After I was done, I rinsed my face and went to meet whoever it is that was shouting my name. I descended the stairs and saw my stepmother and sister sitting at the dining table. I greeted both of them and sat down opposite my stepmother. "What took you so long to get out of bed?" My stepmother asked. "I was arrangi
I was hearing muffled, inaudible voices. A thought popped up in my head, "Am I dead??", so I tried opening my eyes and I was welcomed by the white colour of the room that almost blinded my eye. Then I thought again, "Am I in heaven??" Still thinking, I shook my head vigorously saying it isn't possible. While in my trance, I felt a hand on my shoulders, shaking me, trying to get me out of my thoughts. Then those voices again called out to me and this time it was loud and clear. Slowly, I opened my eyes and the smell of antiseptic and drugs hit my nose. That was when I realised I was in the hospital. "Thank God, she's awake" I heard my dad saying "Let me check her vitals" The doctor said while my dad made way for him to do his job "Can you hear me Miss Walker?" the doctor asked I didn't answer. "If you can hear me, move your eyes to the left" he instructed. I did as he instructed. He gave me a few more instructions which I did. Satisfied
WALKER'S RESIDENCE This family and drama. Dad should have allowed sleeping dogs lie, now I'm developing an headache. "Enough!!!" I screamed turning everyone's attention to me "Dad, I appreciate all you're trying to do but I'd rather let sleeping dogs lie. The deed has been done and can't be rectified so let's just end it here." I begged my dad He looked at me in a way I didn't like; with pity, pain and another feeling I can't fathom. I know he thinks it's all his fault but I'm not even in the mood to assure him that he has nothing to do with what happened. I stood up, looked at everyone and went up to my room. When I got up, I made sure to lock my door and leave the bathroom door open. I took my bath and then came out of the bathroom. I dried my body, applied my body cream and went to pick my clothes. I wasn't in the mood to dress up so I picked a white hoodie and shorts then I wore white sneakers, picked a black bag and shades. I went back to
I got home later in the night. My dad and stepmom were conversing when I entered "Good evening Dad" I greeted "How was your outing" my dad inquired "It went well and it was productive" I answered "Alright princess" he smiled "Have you had dinner?" my stepmom asked "I'm full. Thanks" I said I went up to my room after pecking my dad. I went upstairs and flung myself on the bed. I heaved a sigh of exhaustion. I lay there for like two minutes before I went to freshen up. I finished showering and then changed into my nightwear. I climbed onto my bed and brought out my laptop and sketchpad. Checking through the designs, I felt satisfied with what I've done so I decided to do the finishing touch to the bride's dress. As I was working, I was also munching the waffles I got from the coffee shop. Two hours later, I was done and I packed up and then went to bed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE NEXT MORNING I couldn't sleep a wink last night. Emo
She turned back to look at whoever intruded them and saw me standing. She felt shocked because she didn't expect to see me but made no move to stop what she was doing. She was in the room with a man, smoking and puffing weed. It's a different story if there were just smoking but she was smoking the weed and passed it into the guy's mouth by kissing him. She was on top of the guy and he was lying flat on the bed. I couldn't withstand the sight anymore and left the house. I got into my car and kept banging the steering wheel like it was the cause of my frustration. I drove out of the compound straight to my parent's house. They were shocked to see me when I entered looking all weak and broken. My mum was the first to rush up to me and I just couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears in her arms. She didn't say anything but kept patting my head and my back. We stood there for like 2 minutes and when I was done, she walked me to the chair and we sat dow
Carter's POV I went to the office early because I have a lot of pending work to do. A few employees were around when I got to the office. I entered the elevator and went straight to my office. I took off my jacket after I got inside and hung it on the stand. I sat down, loosened my tie a bit and started working. It took me 4 hours to finish and I was tired by the time I finished. I was stretching when I heard a knock on the door. "Good morning sir" Clinton's head popped in "You can come in" Carter said, straightening up "I also came in twice but you were so occupied that you didn't notice." The secretary explained "It's fine. I've finalised all that needs to be done on the L&B project, so I'd send the documents to you. You just need to print them out, give it to the department in charge of overseeing the project and they should start working immediately they get the document" He instructed "Yes sir" "Is there anything that requires my signature
Carter's POV I left the boutique after I was done shopping and drove straight to my parent's house. I got there and parked my car while the gateman offered to help me with the shopping bags. We both walked in and I saw my parents in the living room while my sister was eating at the dining. She ran up to me and hugged me the moment she noticed my entry "Hey, big bro. I've missed you so much" she pouted as she complained "I'm sorry sweetie, I had a lot to do this week" I pinched her cheek playfully and explained "It's fine as long as you are here now" She smiled "Well, big brother got you something" I smiled as I collected the bag from the gateman and handed it over to her She squealed happily and hugged me. "Nia darling, go up to your room and check out the gift, we need to talk to your brother" Mrs Sanchez instructed her daughter "Alright Mom" she said and ran up the stairs The gateman dropped the bag and returned to his post.
