He walked to the bed and took his suitcase, buttoning his shirt and knotting his tie.
The sun was out and up, calling for the day’s work. The town looked so beautiful from above. Fremont was a nice place to stay, at least he had contributed in making it one and would love to see it become better even if there was a bridge stopping him from doing so.
He smiled seeing the kids happy on the roller coaster with their parents running around, talking with neighbours and friends.
His wedding was fast approaching and he wasn’t too happy about it. Watching his father hire a lot of workers to do the job not minding whether he was happy or not was the worst part of it all, but seeing the people happy made him happy too, he still had big plans for them and wouldn’t love to put his personal issues in the way.
“Fred,” a woman in an apron called. She was no kid, an old woman, probably the age of his grandmother, or was she?
Thanks to Arianna, he hadn’t seen her.She carefully maneuvered her way behind the tree and stopped a taxi, leaving the scene immediately.Fred was a very strict guy, she concluded, after watching him walk out of the lady even though she had tried seducing him made him one. But who was the lady? She thought.The driver took a turn to the next street, driving so carefully like he had predicted an accident or so.Sloane was less concerned about how slow he moved, she was thinking about Fred at the moment. He lived in a mansion, wore the best designers, drove the best cars, so there would be no harm stealing from him. She looked over her shoulders and smiled. California wasn’t a bad idea after all!“Ma’am!” the driver called.“Yes?”“You’ve been smiling for a very long time now, can I share in your happiness?”Sloane gave a low laugh, “sure! I was just thinking about a man I saw in that mansion, you know, I just moved
“Hey, get back here you two.”The woman in red was talking so loud, she woke the birds on the tree, the awoken ones whistled aloud signaling the others that there was an attacker nearby and they all flapped their wings and flew away.The blind man across the street, waved his arms towards passersby, he had a hat full money and still begged for more. He wasn’t seeing the kids in his front, who were playing with a good amount of his money and not listening to their mother’s call but he could feel their breath on his wrinkled neck. “Go meet your mother, she’ll be so sad looking for you.”The kids nodded, keeping the money back into the hat and running to meet their worried mother.Jane sighed as she took them in, washing away the mud on their faces. “Anna, Joe, the next time you do that, I’ll make sure you don’t get cupcakes for a week.”“We are sorry mom,” the twins apologized and ran in.A knock was heard on the door, who could that be, Jane wonder
The Manchester’s mansion at Mission Hills was seen from a pretty good distance. It was built In the early 18s by sir Phillip Manchester and passed down from generations to generations till it got to Mr. Maxwell Manchester who in turn plans to carryout the tradition by passing it to his 29 year old son, Fred Manchester.“Excellent,” a lady remarked loudly, she was shouting on top of her voice and was not listening to anything the guardsmen were saying.“Listen Ma'am Mr. Manchester never confirmed you as the new wedding planner.”“Let me in,” the lady shouted again, drawing the attention of the man taking a rest by the pool.He was in a boxers, his body attracting the ray of sunshine. He was well built, his abs attracting the sight of everyone around him. “Pedro, what’s wrong?”“It’s this lady, she says she has come in place for Miss Jonathan.”She was waiting for him to look at her and realize she was the lady he had slept with in a drunk state for a hundred box
It was a rainy night in Mission Hills, Fremont.A good weather for couples to dine in. Well not for everyone, especially not for someone like Fred, who had his job as his lover. The generational job was what he held on to and wouldn’t want it to slip away into the hands of his enemies.He drew the brush out of the ink bottle and pasted it on the painting, he did it so skillfully that one would think he had studied creative art for a very long time. Then he took the ink bottle and splashed it on the other side of the drawing, so it could form an irregular shape, it did form, a beautiful one at that.The cold had him perambulating round the room. He decided to shut the windows and retire to bed, unfortunately the strong wind took the brush out of the room through the window and into the garden. “Darn it! “ he cursed as he shut the window and walked down to the hall.It was so quiet down there, everyone might have retired to bed. He pushed the giant door open and walked
For a professional thief, getting what you want without having an idea of what it looks like is not so easy, especially when it comes to the Manchesters.Sloane had heard everything, she had been watching so closely to prevent anything from spoiling her plans and now that the golden contract is in the picture she must make sure it isn’t signed by Fred.This thought engulfed her mind as she walked out of the bride’s room, dodging any lane that may lead to Mrs. Kareena, that woman had been a pain in her neck. She was careful enough not to bump into her, again.When she got downstairs, into the first hall, her phone beeped, it was a message from Mary.Why didn’t you return home last night?Sloane smiled and texted back… Someone is missing me already… I decided to spend the night here to keep a close watch on Fred but there’s a little problem, he wants to sign a contract that may ruin our plans of getting some gems.She punched the send button and put the phone in h
Was he the only one seeing Demi drive in and walk into the house?Fred was bewildered, panting round the room. His fear was back, fear of spending his whole life with someone he had no feelings for, but he couldn’t sit hiding in his gigantic room, she would come knocking.Quietly walking to the dressing table and grabbing a comb, he ran the strings down his hair, making sure he was nicely dressed so his awkward fiancée won’t create a sin on their first meeting in five years.Every step he took out of his room and down the stairs felt like being swallowed by a whale, the Sloane lady was sitting across the living room, speaking with Miss Amy, she was speaking so fast he wished she could be put on a slow motion.But that wasn’t his problem, his problem was right in the living room, speaking with Mrs. Kareena. She was nicely dressed, obviously in her most expensive designers.When their eyes met he felt a thousand fangs piercing through his glottis and when she walked to
Demi Grounds, daughter of Andrew Grounds, CEO of Grounds designers and obviously the rich kid who owns everything she wanted.The day hasn’t been a good one. She had thought Fred would give her a deep hug seeing her in the best outfit ever but all he did was smile and took her for a walk round the building. It would had been better if the lady who claimed to be the wedding planner hadn’t stopped her in the lobby for a tip on what kind of flowers she would love in the groom’s room. The lady was so pretty, she hoped Fred hadn’t been eyeing her.“Uh!” she sighed, combing her brown hair, she shouldn’t get it rough for her meeting later in the day with Mr. Manchester.There was a knock on the door, Demi ordered the visitor to come in.Amy walked in with a cup of coffee in hand, she quickly placed it on a table in the left corner of the room and walked to Demi. “I’m here ma’am.”
A gigantic house like this should have signboards, this was what she was thinking, trying to get a clue on which passage leads to the bunkhouse.The frustrating old lady had ordered her to call the workers herself since she was being paid for job, if truly she was the one getting the money then she wouldn’t be wasting her time trying to steal from the arrogant and insensitive Fred Manchester.“I despise him!” she cursed, heading towards the first passage at her sight, it was separate from the building, definitely not the one leading to Fred’s room.The lobby was a dark one with flames building up at one angle and at the other was a caged dove, one would think it was a lane for sorcerers.She was still moving, searching every opened door with her eyes. Phoebe had warned her not to ruin their plans but it seemed like there was nothing to ruin since none of her plans had been carried out without being seen by the old lady, if only someone had told her there was
