Juliet stood at Kevin's doorstep looking at the closed door. She has been ringing the doorbell for the past ten minutes but no one came to answer the door and check who it was, not even his parents. She was thinking about how to let his parents know she was at their doorstep hence Kelvin's phone has been switched off since yesterday evening. "Hey, dear," A middle-aged lady passing by called. She tapped Juliet on the shoulder and she turned back."Good morning Ma'am," Juliet greeted with a cheerful smile as she recognized the middle-aged lady who was Kelvin's neighbor, and also a very good friend of their family."It has been a long time since you came around. How are you doing?" The middle-aged lady asked."Very well. I have been busy with work," Juliet lied, to cover up even if she knows it was never the reason she has not been coming to visit like before. It was their constant fights and arguments since Amanda left that had been keeping her from coming."It is okay my dear, I under
Mr. and Mrs. Costello sat in the living room with their family doctor, Mr. Bryan Richardson, who had just finished checking on Juliet. Earlier, after Juliet passed out, they took her straight home and informed the family doctor who arrived before them. "She is in a panic state right now, her emotions were triggered, and that's why she behaved the way she did. She couldn't get herself to believe the news she heard, but she is totally fine and would be okay when she woke up," Dr. Bryan said with assurance before adjusting his glasses."This was never a good idea honey," Mrs. Costello whispered. Mr. Costello grabbed her hand tight and signaled her to keep quiet which she did immediately."I do not want her to behave very wild again as she did earlier, can't you sadiate her with sleeping drugs so she would be asleep till tomorrow," Mr. Costello said, without any emotion."That's not a good idea, Mr. Costello. Don't worry about her going wild again, she will not," Dr. Bryan assured."Go
Mrs. Robinson was just coming back from supermart after getting some groceries the mansion needed, she saw a package near the door addressed to Amanda. She picked it up and walked inside the mansion and she looked around for Amanda. She asked the maid and they let her know she was in her room and she walked toward her room."Amanda, you have a package," Mrs. Robinson announced, knocking on her door gently."Who is it from?" Amanda asked as she dried her hair."I do not know, it has no address nor reference on it, it only has your name on it," Mrs. Robinson reviewed while studying the package."I have been getting lots of packages recently, let me get them, I am coming," Amanda said and she walked toward the door.She came outside and received the hamper from Mrs. Robinson invited her into her room, and both sat on the bed and opened the hamper together."Wow! you never made me know about it," Mrs. Robinson said, looking at the dozens of packages lying around the room." Have been bu
After Mrs.Costello stood at Juliet's door for over thirty minutes, she decided to open the door and the doctor treated her wound and she slept off almost immediately.When she woke up after some minutes, she sneaked out to drain her life away in a random bar. After drinking herself into a stupor, she picked up her phone and dialed Kelvin's number. After calling him more than twenty times, Kelvin has no other choice than to pick up her call.She said lots of gibberish which showed Kelvin she was drunk and for him to help her and keep her safe, he tracked her to the bar through her phone location and carried her into the car before driving off to take her home."I am hungry... my stomach hurts," Juliet cried out in the car."We are getting close to home okay? Exercise a little more patience," Kelvin said."I can not, I want to eat right now," Juliet thundered and grabbed the driver's seat. "You left me and ran away. You kept me this way," she accused with rage filling her up before sh
Amanda followed James to school as usual. It has been a routine which she couldn't escape as Eric had been busy these past days and hardly even comes out of his room except in the morning and night when he always comes to kiss James good morning and goodnight. James reminded her to tell Eric about his plans of them going on a father and son outing which Amanda agreed to do.As James came out of the car, he waved Amanda goodbye and didn't wait for her to do their usual routine and walked toward his class. Amanda couldn't help but smile, it was like James also knew she was in a hurry. The driver drove her back to the mansion.She decided to relate James' message to Eric first before quietly leaving the mansion to her home to wait for Kelvin. She checked the time as she came down from the car and started heading into the mansion. It was just past 8am, she knew Eric might have finished preparing for work but she decided to have a little conversation with him before he left for the office
After Kelvin left her apartment, Amanda decided to leave for the mansion too. She could not stop thinking about what Kelvin said to her, and she smiled to herself after remembering his confession.Who would believe he would end everything so soon with Juliet. They used to be best friends when he cheated on her. She had never wished they would end so soon because she did not want a situation where they thought she was the problem, that was why she had avoided seeing them after what happened.She was grateful at least she was able to move on without thinking much about Kelvin and was happy she was doing fine without Kelvin and Juliet.She got to the mansion around noon and decided to prepare a special lunch for James who was yet to return from school.She walked into the kitchen and met with Mrs.Robinson very busy arranging and organizing all the things that were being replaced. They shared a smile and exchanged pleasantries."How has your work been?" She asked Amanda while restocking
Amanda walked into the mansion and met Eric sitting in the living room which left her shocked beyond words. She wondered why he was still up at that moment and wished she could disappear because she didn't know what to tell him.Eric looked up at her and looked away, he was still burning with anger and rage, he didn't know what to do at the moment but because he didn't want to sound so harsh, he decided to ask her where she was coming from. Amanda lied that she went over to Mrs. Robinson's home to see her and her daughter Nina which got Eric angry because he had never thought Amanda would lie to him. He wanted to tell her that he saw her working in the club but kicked against it.He stood up and started climbing the stairs, without voicing another word. Amanda continued standing with her heart racing wildly, she didn't know if Eric had known about her working in the club again or if he just happened to stay up today based on the reasons best known to him but whichever one, she pray
James, Nina, Bella, Mrs. Robinson, and Amanda got to the store the next day and went to the security personnel's office."Good morning, " Mrs. Robinson greeted, she asked Amanda to allow her to settle things herself as she would act as James' mom. The security guard was surprised to see Amanda, Nina, and Bella before he remembered they were with James the previous day except for Amanda."Morning ma'am," Are you his guardian?" the security personnel asked. "Yes sir," I'm his mother," Mrs. Robinson replied. He gestured to them to sit on an available chair in the office."Has he explained why I asked him to bring you to my office?" The security personnel asked again."Yes sir, he has," Mrs. Robinson replied."Andrian," The security personnel called."Yes sir!" A young guy with a security uniform replied and came inside."Good morning ma'am," He greeted Mrs. Robinson and waved at Amanda which she returned."Morning Andrian," Mrs. Robinson replied with a smile."Go get Mrs. Bryan, from t
