Angel yawned as she sat up from her bed. She stretched her two arms wide then her whole body."Urgh... My head aches." She grumbled, massaging her full, soft, curly hair with the tips of her fingers. She finally opened her eyes but to meet blurry and unstable images."Where am I?" She mumbled. She wiped her eyes with her two hands then tried reopening her eyes. And this time, the images where a bit clearer."When did I get here?" She asked in astonishment seeing herself back in her room. Then she peeped under her sheets to know if she was still in her work outfit, but to her surprise, she was in her white lilyn cotton night wear. She was about to panic before a knock came to her door, and before she could answer it, the door creaked open."Oh... You're awake." Grace said nervously."Why wouldn't I be?" Angel finally got up and headed for her window. She opened the floral white cottons allowing rays of sunlight to shine through her room."What happened last night? I can't remember a th
"Hey! Where are you rushing off to? I've been looking everywhere for you." Angel rushed James who was in a haste. She noticed the sad look on his face and immediately hid the contract paper on her hand."What's wrong?" She asked feeling concerned."I have a friend who's been hospitalized I need to go see. I'm the only one she has. Please permit me to take the day off." He pleaded."Oh. Hope it's not too bad?" She asked with concern. James only shook his head in response."Okay, please take good care then." She replied. She had wanted to tell James about the contract, but it seemed not to be the best time for that. She felt a little disappointed after she had summoned the courage and practiced lines to use."Let me come with you. I can drive you. I don't think you're in a good state to drive anyway." Angel said as she grabbed James by the hand when he turned to leave. She insisted to go with him on seeing how tensed up James was."Oh, there's no need. I can manage." He replied"I insis
Angel waited for James till he was done. James didn't want to tell his mom about Lizzy's passing, but she got a hint of the situation with her adult instincts, and decided not to talk about it. Also, the change in James' altitude, his expression and inability to talk as much as he used to or cheer her on gave away everything."Come here son." Mrs Jose, James mother said in a sad tone. Stretching her two arms forward to hug James. James hugged her so tight that he almost busted out in tears again. He sobbed as his mom patted his back."Dear dear, everything's going to be A'okay. Momma's here for you." His mom tried as hard as she could to compose herself. She wanted to be strong for James and not just be a useless mother lying helplessly on a sick hospital bed.James doubted the words that his mom spoke. He felt hopeless. It was as if he had lost everything he had been fighting for. It was finally getting late and James kissed his mom on the forehead and left.***********There was an
Meanwhile, at Eddies home. They were already at the dinner table. They were just four people at the table- Eddie, his mom, Dad and another lady- but the table had more space for more ten. It was a very big diner. Eddies parents sat directly opposite each other from a each end of the table. Eddie himself sat directly opposite from the lady at the middle."Kelly, how's your studies going?" Eddies mother asked. "Oh, I heard you got accepted into Harvard's. It's that true?" Eddies mom asked pleasantly. They had or rather she had arranged for Eddie to marry Kelly because they were both from rich families."Yeah Mrs Smith." Kelly answered with a wide smile. She seemed very proud of herself. At the glance at Eddie, she met a hateful look and composed herself."Eddie here is doing quite well himself. This must be fate. Did Eddie ever tell you he is a graduate if Harvard himself? I was so proud of him seeing him stand confidently and handsomely on the stage as they handed him his certificate d
Angel was awoken by a knock on her door. It was James, her new employed cheaffuer. Although James' work description was looked down on, he didn't seem like the type to be doing such work. He had an intriguing ascent, not to mention his use or English and words, it was outstanding. And he had this charming look that could draw any woman to his arms. He had an amazing physique and body statue.Although miss Angel had never let in any of her staffs in her personal life and affairs, she surprisingly find it easy to confide in James. She didn't know why, and how, but she took pleasure in his company.It was just 8:00 in the morning. As she dizzily rose from her bed, she stroke her long, purple, soft hair backwards with her fingers, then she sat on the edge of her bed trying to be fully conscious of herself."ma'am" A knock came at the door."Urgh... Yes!" She answered grumpily."Ma'am. Are you up? You're going to be late" the knock continued. It was her middle-aged female butler, Rosalie.
She lifted the piece of envelope and unrapped it."You have been requested by the NYC customary court of law for the case of the rightful heir to the Williams family business. Since there was no male heir, and since Miss Angelina Williams has also failed to bore a male heir, neither has she been married, there would be a court case of handling the Williams company to a capable male relative. You have the right to a lawyer. Since the couple had no WILL due to their untimely and unexpected exit, the court will have to emerge a new CEO for the Williams company. Please you are also expected to be present on the 25th of January, 2022 being a week today at the court as requested by this writ of summon. Signed by the magistrate of the NYC customary court.""Just when you think they couldn't get any cornier and greedy." She murmured to herself smacking her mouth. then she chucked, dropping the papers carelessly on the floor and hitting her hands on her bed with frustration. she stroke her ha
***********"How dare you utter such! I am not getting rid of my baby and that's final, so do your worst." Kelly said out of spite."You little bitch, be very careful with your words. You don't want me to remind you what am capable of. You know I have no limits when it comes getting what I want." Demion threatened."Your threats mean nothing to me anymore. I've told you to do your worst." Kelly said. Her feet were practically trembling in fear. Her body was ice cold and goosebumps filled her body. She tried to seem tough on the outside, but within her, she knew how evil the man standing at her front is. She turned to leave the room but he caught hold of her arm."Let go. You're hurting me." She mustered, trying to free herself from his tight grip."Don't try to fight it. I know how much you're dying to have me to yourself. Even going to the extent of betraying your sweet sister. But don't worry, I'm not a total monster to abandon you. It is also my child we're talking about here anyway
Buzz! Buzz!! Buzz!!!Buzz! Buzz!! Buzz!!!Angel was awoken by the sound of her alarm. She had set the alarm on time as so not to miss or be late to court. "Alright, alright, alright I'm getting up." She mustered, hitting the alarm unconsciously repeatedly to make the buzzing stop. "Oooh... that's cold." She was faced with a gush of cold breeze from her window. It was practically freezing out there. She gritted her teeth as she quickly rushed to shut the window. She massaged her two arms with her palms to feel warm. Her body was filled with goosebumps.She forced herself to the showers despite the cold. After awhile she was out and dried up. She went and stood in the mirror with her hair wrapped with a white towel and so was her body."You're beautiful... You're courageous... Be confident... Be fearless... and don't let them see your weakness." She recited to herself, trying to prepare herself for the worst situation which could be her on the verge of loosing everything that belonged
