Nathan stepped through the front door, his shoulders slumped, eyes dim with the weight of disappointment and quiet sorrow. The day had drained him, leaving behind only silence and fatigue.

“Welcome, Dad,” Samantha called out gently, her voice carrying warmth.

“Welcome, dear,” Lillian added with a soft smile, though concern flickered in her eyes.

Nathan didn’t respond right away. He walked slowly to the couch and sank into it, his back resting heavily against the cushions. His gaze drifted upward, locking onto the ceiling as if searching for answers in its blankness.

Lillian sat beside him, her tone tender. “How was work today?”

He hesitated, lips barely moving. “Fine,” he said, though the word felt hollow, forced out like a breath he didn’t want to take.

She leaned in slightly. “Nathan… what’s wrong? What’s bothering you again?”

But he didn’t answer. The silence stretched between them, thick and telling.

Samantha stepped forward, her voice calm and thoughtful. “Mum, I think Dad’s just

    “No problem,” Clark said with a smile. “I’m expecting both of you.”“Alright, bye.”The call ended.The party was already in full swing when Samantha and Gabriel arrived. Music floated through the air, glasses clinked, and laughter rolled from one corner of the room to the other. Clark had gone all out for his birthday. The place was warm, bright, and filled with familiar faces.They mingled quietly, greeting a few people, trying to blend into the crowd. Samantha was happy to see Clark smiling, moving from guest to guest like the perfect host.About an hour in, the room shifted. Heads turned toward the entrance as Jake and Julia walked in. They looked polished, confident, the kind of couple that drew attention without even trying. They made their way around the room, greeting people with hugs and handshakes.But when they reached Samantha and Gabriel, they stopped. Jake’s eyes flicked over them, and without a word, he moved past as if they weren’t even there. Julia followed, her lips

    Samantha got home that morning, tired but relieved. As soon as she stepped inside, her mother rushed to her and pulled her into a tight embrace.“Where have you been?” her mom asked, voice trembling. “You had me so worried.”She led Samantha to the couch and sat beside her. “Are you okay?”Samantha nodded. “Yes, Mom. I’m fine.”“At least you could’ve told me where you were going,” her mom said, gently scolding. “My heart was restless all night. And you didn’t even take your phone.”“Mom… I just needed to clear my head. I’ve been carrying so much emotional stress lately.”“And you thought disappearing was the best way to handle it?”Samantha looked down. “I’m sorry for putting you through all that. I didn’t mean to make you suffer because of me.”Her mom sighed, brushing a hand over Samantha’s hair. “It’s okay, my dear. I’m just glad you’re back—and safe.”Just then, Samantha’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen. It was Gabriel.“Hello?” she answered.“Hey, Sam. Just checking—did yo

    Lillian’s heart was restless. What if she wasn’t there? What if something terrible had happened to her?“Oh, Samantha… you wouldn’t take my life before my time, would you?” she whispered, her voice trembling. “I don’t understand why you’ve chosen to be so stubborn, why you’ve decided to punish me like this. You were never like this before you started keeping company with men. But the moment you let love matters consume you—when you began giving your body to a man—everything changed in the blink of an eye.”She paused, her breath shallow. “My illness has left me too weak to guide you through these grown-up matters. But I promise you this—before my greatest fear comes to take me away from you and from your father, I will be your truest friend, your counselor, your tutor, and your most loyal adviser.”“I will be your bank of wisdom and understanding,” Lillian whispered, her voice trembling. “Even though I’ll let you make your own choices in life, I will always be here for you. So that wh

    The MC’s patience finally ran out. With a playful grin, he pointed into the crowd.“Hey! Lady in white—yeah, you next to the guy in red—come on up here!”The woman froze for a second, then laughed and made her way to the stage. The crowd erupted in cheers and laughter, clapping like they’d just witnessed a plot twist.“Alright, DJ,” the MC called, “give us a beat—let’s get this dance started!”The music kicked in, bass thumping through the floor. All eyes locked on the two of them.“Come on, celebrant, show us some moves!” someone shouted.“Dance with her—we won’t tell your woman!” another teased.Phones went up, flashes blinking as guests recorded every step. The room was alive with whistles, laughter, and playful chants.Waiters moved through the crowd again, serving another round of food and pouring drinks until glasses overflowed. The night rolled on in a blur of music and chatter.By the time the party began to wind down, some guests drifted out into the night while others stayed

    I hope she doesn’t tell him I’m here, Samantha thought, her heart thudding in her chest. No… she won’t. Why would she? They don’t know me. I’m just a stranger to them.She tried to calm herself, but the anxiety kept creeping in. I don’t even know why I was running from the celebrant earlier. He probably wasn’t even coming for me. We don’t know each other… even though it kinda felt like he was.The food had made its way around, and the party was in full swing. Laughter echoed, music pulsed, and the vibe was electric.Then, quietly, the girl who had served Samantha leaned in close to the celebrant and whispered something in his ear.“I think that girl who rode in the taxi with us came for your birthday too, she is here,” she said.“You serious?” the celebrant asked, surprised and suddenly lit up. “Where is she? You saw her?”A smile spread across his face.“She’s sitting at the far end, in the corner,” the girl replied.“Okay, thanks,” he said, already scanning the crowd.“I’ll go see h

    Samantha had stormed out of the house, no plan, no direction—just raw emotion pushing her forward. She wandered through the city streets, her energy fading with every step. The night was alive around her, but she felt miles away from it all.Up ahead, a small group of people stood near the curb, laughing and chatting while waiting for a cab. Drawn by the sound of voices, Samantha moved in their direction, not to join them—just passing through..Right then, a taxi pulled up, headlights cutting through the dark. One of the guys stepped forward, pulled open the door, and said to the driver, "Yo, bro, can you take us to that club near Travis Supermarket?"“It’s my birthday tonight,” the man said to the driver as he climbed into the cab. “In fact, be my guest—you’re officially invited!”“Oh! Happy birthday, man,” the driver replied with a grin, reaching out to shake his hand. “Wishing you more success and bigger heights.”“Thanks so much,” the man said, clearly touched.Samantha had been w
