Se connecterBRANDON ~ After closing from work today, I headed straight to the mall to do some shopping for Elese, as today is her birthday. That was the exact reason I closed work earlier today than usual. I had decided to surprise her; maybe that would make her change for good, knowing I have her best interest at heart. Although she never told me about her birthday today, I already have it on my mind when her birthday is, as I usually bought things for her in the past, when we were still having our affairs secretly. Meanwhile, I never acted as if I knew it was her birthday. I never wished her well through text messages or even phone calls. It was exactly five o'clock p.m. when I left the store and drove to Elese's house in Almani District, which is where she has been for a week now, and she has not displayed any iota of character that shows she'd be returning soon. To me, this birthday surprise will definitely make her come
VICTORIA ~ Indeed, time flies. I can't believe it's been nine months already since I came to this city. Looking at my past, I feel so blessed. The fact that I now have Elliot with me is something I can't express the joy it gives me. He's finally here with me. It was two weeks ago that I gave birth, all thanks to Logan. He had been running the errands involved and making sure I'm okay. With his help, I was able to get a furlough from my workplace. However, I'm still not yet able to tell his real source of income, and that scares me sometimes. What if he is into illegal business? It's certain I'll be arrested alongside him if that's what he does because I'll be termed an acquaintance. "Well, I'll ask him again when he visits in the evening," I concluded. It's either he explains himself to me fully or I draw the limits in our friendship. I don't even know anyone as his relative here, and he claimed he is from Asheville City. I breathed a sigh and wanted to turn
BRANDON -I left Benita with my mood provoked even more.I thought that by kidnapping her, she would succumb to my request, but to my greatest dismay, she was hellbent on her decision.She refused to disclose Benita's location to me despite all the threatening comments I made to instill fear in her.I knew that fulfilling those threats wouldn't change anything, so I didn't harm her.When I realized that even if I spent the whole day trying to persuade her, she wouldn't change her mind, I decided to leave her and attend to other activities.However, I didn't release her. I left her there to come back another time, more prepared, and approach her differently.Driving towards my house, my mind was not at ease. I was thinking about Elese's sudden disappearance from the house.Although she told me she was going to her place, shouldn't she have informed me earlier and even in my presence, not the other way around?
After Brandon succeeded in sabotaging my trip to Asheville City, I thought he would leave me alone. Little did I know he would continue to bother me. Following the failed trip, he asked me to take him to where Victoria was, unaware that she was in Asheville. Despite the tempting offer, I declined. "I will change your life and buy you a house in Greentown Estate if you can lead me to your friend," he persisted. Greentown Estate was prestigious, and owning property there was highly desirable for many. "Why is he so fixated on seeing Victoria? Didn't he choose Elese over her?" I pondered. "Could he be considering leaving Elese?" A wry smile escaped my lips. "He'll realize Victoria's worth soon enough. People often don't appreciate what they have until it's gone," I chuckled. Shaking off the thoughts, I focused on preparing for work. As a director in the agro industry, I needed to oversee operations and plan for the day. At 6:30 a.m., I left for work, driving through the expressway.
VICTORIA ~As Logan steered his car through a massive gate, I couldn't help but wonder if my previous encounter with the former taxi driver was about to repeat itself."Didn't you tell me we were going to your house?" I questioned him, looking for an answer.He simply smiled mischievously without saying anything.I sat back, feeling cautious."Is this your boss's house?" I couldn't help but ask.He smiled again and shook his head in dismissal."Am I not enough to own a house like this?" he asked.I swallowed hard, taking in the ambiance of the compound."Do you mean you're the owner of this house?"Just as I was asking, a young man ran towards him and prostrated himself in courtesy."Good evening, young master Logan."I couldn't believe my ears. I turned and looked at Logan with shock, and he smiled as usual."Are you really a cab driver?" I blurted out."Why
VICTORIA ~Last week was amazing, I must say. Logan took me to places and showered me with goodies after each outing.Today, I agreed to visit his place. At first when he requested, I was hesitant until he assured me I could bring a friend if I felt uncomfortable coming alone. Maybe because he knows I have no friend in this city yet.As luck may have it, Benita is visiting me today, so I'm waiting for her to arrive.While getting ready for work, Logan texted me to remind me of our appointment. We agreed to meet in the evening, giving me time for work and other activities.Walking down the staircase, I couldn't stop admiring the interiors of the apartment."How does Logan expect me to believe him that this apartment only costs one thousand dollars per month?" I muttered inwardly out of curiosity.Even in Manhattan, the cheapest apartment one would get costs nothing less than one thousand five hundred dollars. That would be a non-equipped or furnished apartment.The fantastic ones, jus
