“Are you ok dear” Nicholas ask his niece who looked broken and tattered beyond recognition“Am fine uncle, Aunty hates me “Vivian cried out loud“Do not say that““But it true, I have tried to make her like me but she detest me, she dislike me why uncle, what have I done to her““Do not mind her, will talk to her later ok now go and clean up “From a daddy’s angel who had the world at her feet to a teenager who is now living in the slum has been very hard for Vivian to adjust but she did and in a fast pace too. She tried to help in any possible way she could, hawking, stealing or washing clothes for her neighbors to put food on the table, she wanted her aunty to like her at least but Mica was not seeing her effort, she still dreams of the emerald jeweled mansion, the latest cars, the parties she threw and dance to her heart content, the expensive wine and the exotic foods she had at her disposal but now it just a memory and she would not have it, she has to escape this nightmare and
“Hey, are you ok little girl can you hear me““Who are you calling little““What““I said who are you calling little, pipsqueak““You are a feisty one, aren’t you““Go away, do not make me get up there““And how are you getting up here if I may ask, you are struck are you not““No am not, go away““Ok then, have a loving day, little one“Alex laughed in his head, what kind of a girl is this, she is too prideful to ask for help but he wanted to see how this will turn out. He hid himself behind a wall and watched as she struggled to get free from her entrapment. Frustrated he walked to her and help her get freed.“Put me back, I can do it myself““Really, you have been down here for close to an hour now““I do not care, just put me back I did not ask for your help““You are just unbearable, a simple thank you will be good““I do not have the energy to say that word besides I told you I could do it, if you had only minded your business, now excuse me“She pushed pass him and Alex was int
The town is quiet than usual that night. Shops, restaurants and night clubs are all shut down. The streets barren of any living or supernatural entity. The moon changed it color to red, lives will be taken this night, blood will be slipped and the future of the country will be decided. Even Anubis is on the edge as his hands will be full of souls to take to the underworld. Most billionaires and CEO’s have travel out of the country to hide, some with their families are in their safe rooms designed under their homes completely secured and well stocked , few are supporting the war with their money but too afraid to make themselves known. The two great families are at war and no one wants to be caught in the cross fire. “George do you think this is a good idea, innocent people lives will be at risk“ “There is no such thing as innocent in this world you of all people should know that, do not worry dear this has long been overdue, if we do not act , it will affect our next bloodline“ “The
Inside a Mercedes Benz in front of Motel Flamingo, a man was on the phone having a heated conversation. He ended the call and within a few minutes a woman got out from one of the rooms and approached the car in a hurry. She knocked and waited patiently to be invited in. The window glass was lowered. She heard a clicked sound before she opened the car and sat down, the window glass was sealed back up again. She turned to look at the man’s face but her eyes rested on her thigh. The tension she felt coming from him was suffocating making breathing very difficult for her to do.“Are you toying with me “he spoke slowly, anger laced in his tone, he was annoyed and pissed making him very frightening? “No Ray, I will not do that to you, we are grateful for everything you have done for us“ She replied with a slow and forgiving voice “Then why the wait“ “I just need more time to prepare her……..“ “To hell with you" Ray chuckled "Time, did you say time. I have been paying outrageous bills from
Ever since my parents died I have been lonely, people kept leaving me and I felt like a curse.My spirit kills everyone near me and I felt disgusted with myself. First my mother destroyed our perfect home with her evil deeds breaking my father’s heart. He could not take it and ended his life with her. He did not think about me at all, his love for her was so deep he went with her to the afterlife. Uncle Nicholas was the only one who cared like Grandma Lily but they fought because of me. Grandma Lily wanted to raise me and my curse made her sick, so sick she had to be let go to ease her pain and suffering. I was told her soul went to heaven but I know there is no such thing as paradise or God just endless darkness, the living world and the lifeless world, the only different is the monsters here in the land of the living smile with you and cut you deep into your heart. Uncle Nick took me in with Aunty Mica and it was fun, they took me out of school, we travelled out a lot and enjoy diffe
“Going once, going twice and sold to Mr. Ray Cruz for 500,000 dollars” Applause filled the room, all going to Ray Cruz the Millionaire, he singlehandedly raise the Escort business into a multimillion business, making it one of the Country’s highest revenue. “Congratulations and we thank everyone for making time for this auction have a loving evening “ “Mr. Cruz, yet again you stole another exquisite beauty from me “accused by Malcolm Green “Mr. Green am lucky I guess “Ray answered “Luck runs out one day” Malcolm Green shot back “Maybe but today is my day and I will make the most out of it“ “Ray, is Malcom Green bothering you again” asked Gideon Bronze, the Vice President of the Minister of Finance office “No, just congratulating me for winning yet another pearl into my ocean“ “A pearl, no this one takes the lead in all of them, a phoenix “ “I like that a phoenix, that will be her stage name“ “Good, I cannot wait to see her in action, Ray train her well for my visit I want to
River of tears blasted out when the car door was shut, she was so pained by everything, she hope Aunty Mica would have a change of heart and call her back shoving that dirty money to the Man and choosing her over wealth but that was a dream, a stupid dream in her childish head, hope she was still holding on but she guessed this is her life now, “I hope you are happy now Mother, because of you this is how my life will be, a prostitute, I will sell myself to survive, you own blood how could you push me to this dark pit, how could you ruin my life mother, how could you destroy a loving home, how could you” she questioned her dead mother in her head as if she could hear her, blaming her for all her misfortunes but a spilled milk cannot be saved. She tried to wipe her tears with her hands and Jazz seeing this offered her a handkerchief “Here, use this” he offered “Thank you, will pay you back for this kindness“ “Do not worry about it, you can keep it” gifting her the handkerchief “No I
“What do you mean am sharing my room, who is she and why does she get to sleep in my room“ “Mr. Ray arranged it“ “What, why will he do that“ “What do you mean why and you of all people know we never question the Boss. Now go to your room peacefully and be the elegant beauty we know you to be“ Star stomped her feet and marched off into the yard. She was angered by this betrayal from Ray. She is his woman, well technically his woman because he calls on her more than any of the other ladies and that makes her the heart of the Company. She has his ear too so her authority in the House is higher than the rest. She makes Ray millions of cash on her every outing, bleeding herself dry to please Ray. But this disgrace will not be tolerated. She took out her phone and called him, it rings but no answer. She calls again and again and finally on the fourth time, he answered. “Yes” Ray answered clearly pissed “Am sorry to disturb you baby but I need you” Star made her voice so sweet and sad
