In Love Again 33: ALVIRA'S WRATH
Alvira watched her mother with warmth in her eyes, she knew her mother wanted nothing but the best for her, she knew she didn't want to hold her down but wanted to help her fulfill and achieve all of her dreams.She too wanted nothing more than that, but she just couldn't let others trample on her pride on the way to her success. She sighed at her own resolution.She was poor, but her pride was all she had left and she was going to hold on to it with all she's got.She had always been one who was stubborn about her values, that even her parent had always wondered where she got her strong-headedness from."So what now? What are we going to do then?" Emily asked after some time, "How are you to go back to school? I hoped that if you worked with them for a few months, with your character, you should have earned enough money to resume the coming semester. You have to think about it, Alvira." Emily tried to convince her one last time but Alvira hugged her instead. "Don't worry so much mo
In Love Again 34: A FAMILY TRADITION
It was the cool of the evening, Ben and Simon Walker were seated on the balcony on the roof of their mansion having a few snacks together. This act of theirs which was one of the family traditions of spending time together had been abandoned due to Simon's illness. Actually, it was abandoned by just Simon because his grandparents always spent time with each other comfortably. Since his return to the company, the family traditions that had become nonexistent have been slowly restored. Today, seating on the balcony at the highest point of their mansion looking down at the view below as they shared snacks and discussed their various interests with one another, was just one of them. Since they were a business-oriented family, who tend to be very busy, they had created those few family traditions to make sure no one becomes too busy or carried away with work that they abandoned their family. Sarah had created these family traditions after her marriage to Ben and had made sure every me
In Love Again 35: A PROPOSAL
The nights had slowly begun to turn cold and the air was dry as winter was slowly moving in, Alvira walked home dressed in a padded jacket, pants, and winter boots. She rubbed her palms together as she walked and blew into them in an attempt to warm them up and ease the freezing feeling she felt on her bare hands. She then tucked it into the pockets of her padded jacket. Today was a search in futility just like every other day, she couldn't find a job, not even a quick hourly one as an emergency substitute. It seemed as if every other person was holding on to their job as tightly as they could for the fear of losing it. She saw her house in sight and she sighed in relief as she imagined the warmth she would meet there and the possibility of a hot dinner or probably a hot coffee waiting for her. After her father's death, her mother's shifts at the hotel changed from night to day time and so she was always available at night to prepare dinner, which made things a little easier for A
In Love Again 36: AN APOLOGY
Simon glanced at his wristwatch, it was past 6 pm and the fifth meeting he had had that day just came to an end. He sighed, that was also the last meeting for the day, he hoped the burdens of things eased from now on. It's been two weeks and he had been busy as shit. He had practically traveled around the country in a bid to correct everything that needed correction and luckily they had been able to correct it, thanks to his professional team.If there was anything he had learned from all this, it was to never give depression a chance, it only ruined more things and repaired nothing. If he hadn't been staying couped up in his room all those years, there wouldn't have been so much to correct right now. At a time like this, the only thing that seem good was the fact that he was always seating in a chair all day, with the amount of stress he underwent even right there in the wheelchair, he couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if he wasn't seating on one.Watching Asher looki
In Love Again 37: A RETHINK
Alvira walked into the kitchen and dropped the paper bag she had been carrying on the kitchen island. She then slowly began to offload it, taking its content into the refrigerator as she did.She turned around after placing the first batch in there and saw Emily standing by the island smiling at her, "Hey, mom, the convenience store down the road was out of milk. I think I would get it when I go to town tomorrow," She said as she continued with her work. When Emily didn't reply, she looked up to see her mother still standing in that same spot looking at her with that same smile, Alvira blinked at her a little confused, "Mom? Is there a problem?" She asked and Emily busted into laughter at the tone of her voice. "If you ask me, I think he is quite handsome," She said as she gave her daughter a teasing smile but Alvira was confused as to what she was talking about. "Who is?" Alvira asked as she stared at her mother abandoning the goods in the paper bag. "That boy," Emily said but
In Love Again 38: THE RETURN.
Alvira stood in front of the Walkers' mansion and stared at it for a few seconds with a complicated expression on her face before she slowly walked towards the gate. The security guard who was stationed there looked up from what he was doing when he heard her approaching and smiled, calling a greeting out at her before letting her in, as he had recognized her. Alvira also smiled slightly back in response as she walked passed the opened gate towards the dark-colored mansion that gleamed under the sunlight. She was back here again, but now for a different reason, she was going got work hard and make sure that she fulfilled not just her dream but her father's last wish. Like she had done in the past, she braced herself with determination and was ready for anything, even if Simon tried to bully or frustrate her, she would turn a blind eye to it. With her heart set on this, she walked steadily towards the giant mahogany doors of the mansion.Before she could ring the bell, the door was o
In Love Again 39: A SHOCKER
Alvira's first day went according to plans, she carried out her chores as quickly as possible. Even though she knew Simon wouldn't be back from work until late at night, as she had heard from the other maids, she didn't want to take any chances.Why she felt like she needed to avoid him was the one thing she couldn't find an answer to but she still followed her instinct and did as her heart ordered her to. Since she was used to cleaning Simon's room she finished her chores on time, changed her clothes, and rushed to the university where she attended lectures for nothing short of four hours before she then headed to the library to study and make photocopies of the materials she didn't have as a result of her absence. By the time she was done, it was past 7 pm and she had no choice but to leave since the library was ready to close for the day. She glanced at her wristwatch and decided to head for her old apartment. She couldn't continue living there as a result of her busy schedule
In Love Again 40: A MEDIATOR
"What?!" Alvira exclaimed then laughed a little. "Are you joking with me, Madam Sarah?" She asked with a smile and Sarah laughed too, as she was slightly amused at Alvira's reaction. "No, I'm not. I think he really likes you, Alvira." Sarah pushed. Alvira rose a brow as the smile on her face slowly disappeared and she began to wonder what on earth Madam Sarah was talking about. Why would she say something like that to her? Did someone start to misunderstand something again? At the time when she was been bullied by Simon, the servants had also mistaken it for Simon being dependent and trusting of her. Was that what was happening here? Was everyone in the mansion confused about something again? Or did they just like to see things that were not there?Was someone trying to cause a fallout between herself and madam Sarah? "I'm sorry madam Sarah, but I think this is a misunderstanding, sir Simon has no feelings for me whatsoever. I don't know who told you this, but I promise you, they
