The morning came as a blur. Anna left Nora's house as early as possible, returning back home to get a change of clothes and then get back to the twin building for her training immediately, after she had received another calls from her friend, James.It hadn't been more than five minutes since she read James' text messages. He had given her the good news about her approval of being a participant in the contest.Being over whining that she got confused about what to wear, shattering her wardrobe like a mother hen digging the soil for worms.It would be nice if she go with Nora today, and by the way, she would get the chance to share the good news with her, Anna thought. Picking her phone off of the bed, "Hey, bitch. Do you mind accompanying me to my music class today? " she asked, waiting for Nora's reply. Anna could hear how she was trying to stutter out a reply to her."Uhm- do you mind if I come pick you up? You know I have exams to write. I need to read hard." she said. Though she w
The heart-aching smell of disinfectant pervaded the air in the hospital.Mr Ben was rescued here to the hospital by the neighbour. Anna had just received a call from them about her dad blacking out, out of the blue. Fear gripped her and froze at the spot, she hurried out in a breaking sweat, left her rehearsal, at the studio, running swiftly to the said hospital." Dad!" she pushed the emergency door open, Anna's cheek was so reddish and heavy, she was fighting back the tears threatening to roll down her cheek, she wasn't expecting this sudden sad news tall." Please stay outside, we have to check on him" the nurse shove her out of the room, other nurses attending to him in the emergency ward." What is wrong with him? What happened this time?" Anna asked the neighbour sitting out the door of the room, shaking at the expense of seeing him collapse that way." I don't know, I heard him screaming from my room. I ran to check what was wrong when I saw him collapse on the floor that way"
The doctor said Mr Ben had quickly responded to medications. She had decided on when to discharge him back home. Nora felt a bit relieved, Mr Ben's smile was coming back on his face. And he smiles more often now. Especially when he smiles and exposed his white cute teeth it is like having breakfast in the morning and getting satisfied for the whole day. Anna on the other hand was happy to see those beautiful smiles on his face again." You should smile often dad, it looks really good on you" she grins and tried hiding her pain.'' Anna you need to go and start backing your things, your suitors would be here soon'' Mr Ben said, after smiling for a while. '' So soon?'' Anna's heart throbbed, her eyes bugged out, she said within herself.'' O_okay dad'' she appeared in her room, slammering the door against herself, falling to the ground shedding tears, Anna knelt beside the threshold, she didn't take note that she wasn't the only one in the room.Nora was there already helping her pack h
They arrived at the estate a bodyguard unlocked the door for Anna, because she seemed to be focused on the beauty of the mansion. Nestled in the woodland, as humble as any rock face in these parts, was a mansion. Its windows were as humble eyes, large to welcome any ray of sun. The mansion was all concrete and tall glass windows that gave a view of the mountains, a chance to relax and take in the changing of the seasons from the comfort of an easy chair.She wowed the moment she stepped out of the car. '' Welcome young madam'' a maid said to her, while she had other assistant maids behind her. She looks like the chief of the maids, and the ones behind her seem inexperienced, unlike her, who has experienced eyes, like someone who has been working here for the past 18 years.'' Anna, please call me Anna. That's my name'' she corrected the middle-aged woman. '' I'm sorry, I can't call you by your name, you are Young master's wife, and I won't be able to bear the consequences of his wrath
She knew another turn of her life had just began, gosh just early in the morning, and she has been summoned by the old man again, the oldest man in the yul's family. Yul's group, the famous and top leading company in the country.Steadily walked across the aisle, fidgeting as though the message sent chills down her spine. She never wanted this, I mean none of them wanted this, but what could she do her father was going to kill himself, if she hasn't accepted.She would never have bore the burden of the heavy heart would bring and forever she would hate herself, if he had committed such terrible thing, and the fault would forever be hers, for not accepting the first and only request Mr Ben had ever asked her. It took her some minutes to climb down the stairs, she quivers and wondered what the old wanted her for now, wasn't what he did yesterday enough? '' Why are you wearing such old fashion clothes!'' his voice sounded frosty, Anna lips didn't fail to shake and went cold. The air a
The old man looked through his window, like he always do, but just some minutes ago, Lucian's car was packed outside, and now it was no longer there or has his old age began to tell on him?. '' Damn it, this boy left again!'' he sneered his teeth.Lucian's saw the iD caller on his phone, as he put the car to a stop in front of the mansion, blue city, another of Yul's house, he usually comes here whenever he needed space alone to think. The old man was calling, he threw the phone into his pocket, and focused on getting the seatbelt off him. The damn phone, rang about 15 times, but the stone hearted boy never took a glance at it. He despised the old man and his deeds. They was another call again, but this time it came along with a picture, and that was a picture of his wife, Anna.'' What? Damn this old man!'' he jumped back in the car, fastened the seat belt, bloody sweat were dripping on his face. '' Not again you old man! What do you want again! I signed the bloody documents already
The early morning sun shone brightly into her eyes, blinding her temporarily. She didn't find Lucian in the room when she woke up, but the scent coming from the bathroom made her got out of the bed. It was the scent of her bathing liquid soap, she found the same maid who had attended to her wounds earlier, she seem to be preparing a bath for her. '' Good morning young madam'' she smiled and it glowed blissfully. '' Did you see Lucian, when you got in?'' she asked, ignoring her questions, although not purposely, she was worried were he could have gone this morning, when they had meetings to attend to. She was confident that he knew the old man's better.'' Do you mean young master? She lowered her head'' she was surprised she was calling him by his name, she knew how much punishment anyone can earn themselves when they call him by his name. '' I asked a question, why do you look that way like you have just seen a ghost?'' her brow knitted together. '' Uhm_ no young madam, I didn't s
The old master summoned the spy he had asked to follow them to the meeting, he had asked Zeru, Yero's junior brother, who was also smart, and skilled too. They were all the bodyguards of Old master. Even though none has been assigned to obey Lucian fully yet, they all have kept off from him, they fear him more than they fear the old man. As for the old master's aspect, they value their jobs more. '' How did it go?'' he asked Zeru, he was in a black notch lapel suit and black polarized shades with a black polish shoe to complete his outfit.'' Old master, Lucian has been invited to the company's night event where he has to introduce his wife to the group'' he fold his hands behind him, he stood straight as he spoke, with a chivalrous smile on his lips.'' uhm_ very good '' he smiled roguishly, nodding his head. '' how did Lucian behave? , and Anna with him? I hope he gave a good impression to the board members?'' he asked.'' Yes, old master, he kept it cool'' Old master had a smil
