Alice drove back home, getting inside, she was welcomed by silence. She felt the oddity of her home like a wave of shivers to sink her heart. She swallowed hard, tears streaming down her cheeks, followed by anxiety. The home that's always bright and beautiful was totally quiet; no maid was coming to welcome her, and there was no movement around the house, and the beautiful fragrance that lingers around the air seemed to be fading. She shook her head in protest." This can't be our downfall," she said as the fear gripped her, " I can't be poor; I won't be poor."She rushed upstairs to her room; the image of her striving to get something to eat, the image of her being unable to afford what she wanted, and the image of her sleeping on an empty stomach drove her insane. It's an unthinkable imagination that must not happen to her. She frantically began to search for what to wear, scattering everywhere for her best dress.She found the short red gown with no sleeves and a sweetheart necklin
Alice slammed the door of the car angrily before bursting into tears; her heart ached in a way it had never, and her body shivered as reality began to dawn on her." I've lost everything," she wept, " everything is gone, my friends, my wealth, all hope, everything has been taken away from me."She sniffled her left mucous into the right, placed her palm on the wheel, and clenched her fist around it tightly.~ you're a failure ~Dani's words echoed in her ears, and it made her body tremble; she could imagine herself becoming a laughing stock, from being a somebody to a nobody. It drives her insane; it makes her body quiver, and she wishes to break whatever she lays her hands on to vent her emotions.After some minutes, her sobs and cries stopped, and she lifted her head slowly with a switch of emotions. Her disheartened heart was replaced with the flame of rage and hatred, her eyes lit up with a dangerous glare, and her weak hands tightened around the wheel with fury." It's her fault,
The guards were taken aback by the sudden arrival of a black car that zoomed into the building; the drive was rough and fast, bringing the guards to their feet and immediately getting their guns ready. They pointed the guns toward the car, but when the driver jumped out, they were relieved. They furrowed their brow in surprise and curiosity when they saw Kyle run in like he was being chased by death. He ran like his life depended on it and arrived in the sitting room; his sudden run-in startled the men inside and also took them by surprise. " Kyle?", Damien jumped on his feet on seeing Kyle. He looked at him all over and furrowed his brow, " What happened, brother? What happened to you?". Kyle collapsed on the floor exhaustedly and the men quickly helped him up to sit on the chair. Damien stood over him not asking a question and waiting for one of the men to give him water to do. After drinking the water, Kyle heaved a long sigh of relief. " I'm glad I made it here", " What in the
Blue trailed behind Clinton to welcome Christian. It was morning and he had just returned from work. They approached him, and without being told, Blue took the handbag from him with a bow alongside Clinton." Where's Ari?" he asked, walking upstairs as he loosened his tie." I don't think ma'am would want to see you," Clinton said, trailing behind him.Christian halted in his track and turned to him," Why? Is something wrong?"," She's too pissed to see you", Blue replied not looking at him," Why is she pissed?"," Because you stood her up", Clinton replied," I did?"," She waited all night ", Blue added," Made three different kinds of dishes", Clinton added," For you", Blue completed," Spend lots of hours and effort to make the dishes"," Only for you not to show up"," Waited for you"," All beautifully dressed up with nice perfume all over her"," But you didn't come home"," She got worried and called"," Only for you to say you won't be coming home"." Wait! Wait! Wait!" Ch
It dawned on them that the truck was aiming for them but it was too late. Clarisse was frightened to death as she covered her ears and let out a deafening screamChristian's eyes widened, his pulse raced faster, and like a flash, his survival adrenaline hit his hand he immediately took hold of the car gear and took a speedy reverse, looking back and forth to avoid the cars. The Rolls Royce black car's speed was insane and frightening; every car drove out of the way, avoiding it and the truck that sped after it. Like a car rider expert, he skillfully whirled the car around, creating a loud screeching sound from the tires, avoiding the truck and letting the truck crash into a pole before it tumbled and began to release smoke.Like the time stopped, every movement stopped for a second. Christian held the wheel panting and trying to catch his breath before turning and grabbing Clarisse by the shoulder." Ari, Ari, look at me", he called in haste as she shivered.Still shivering from shock
Her grip around his wrist tightened but she tried to calm her mind and let go of his wrist," Tell me, what makes you think I'm different?".He said and turned to her properly, "You've gotten more free, bold, and more relaxed"," I've always been relaxed with you".He shut one of his eyes half closed, " I don't think that's totally true", he giggled, " you gave me a hard time"," I'm sorry about that", she smiled shyly," But that's not what I'm talking about. Right now, I have no idea what you're thinking, what is going on in your head, what you have in mind, you're confusing me"," How?"," I have feelings for you, Ari, I haven't had the chance to tell you but I need you, I think of you now and then, worry about how you're doing, if you're okay, if you've eaten, I want to wake up every day of my life with you by my side. I'm not a man of many words, but I love you, Ari, the thought of any other man's hand on you drives me crazy", he said closing his eyes and gritting his teeth, " I
Blue hopped on her feet, beaming with smiles as she strides towards her home through the not-so-bright alley, calculating the days with her fingers." Oh", she cooed," it's finally here. Five more days to get my salary", she grinned happily.Images and thoughts began to pop into her head, visualizing herself in the mall doing some shopping, buying some materials she had always wanted, the type of meal to cook, and what she needed to get.She unlocked her phone, still walking, and slid into Pinterest, searching for the kind of dinner gown to buy." I should buy myself some fancy female wear; I don't have a dinner gown, so let's get one that's not expensive", she mumbled to herself as she strolled through the images, her eyes switching from the road to her phone and back to the road again. She could see her house in sight now, " I will check more when I get home .."," Hey", a sudden rigid voice startled her. She turned to see who it was and saw two street men walking out of a corner
" huh?".Her eyes widened, and her cheeks became redder with her racing heart as she stared at him, standing on her feet but close to him." I'd have preferred you crash your lips on a wood instead of crashing it at my shirt," he said angrily and quickly looked at his shirt, " Oh, thank God, I thought you'd stained my shirt with your lips gloss."Blue sighed with her face that dropped, she rolled her eyes and leaped away from him.' what was I thinking?' she groaned in her mind.She proceeded to check the painting, and it touched it.' it's dry, 'she confirmed in her mind, her fingers curled up, and her mind skipped. She turned back at him," Not yet; it remains small," she said, stepping away from it and avoiding his gaze.Gael tried to conceal his smiles." Ugh! Guess I have to come here once again", he feigned a groan," No one is forcing you, I can get it delivered to your place"," Of course not, I can't risk it getting broken or something, I'll come and get it by myself "," You
