Ever heard of not having peace in your own house? Better yet not being comfortable enough because you have to accommodate someone? Austin was that person."So, you are telling me your mother in law barged in your own room while making out with your wife?!" Kamala laughed so much at his friend. He decided to have breakfast with his friend in his office and tell him what his psychotic PA did on Sunday. Only to find his friend having it worse. He was ragged, not sure if he had even a bath."That's not funny, okay!" He said annoyed. Not sure why Kamala was amused by his business."Oh come on, I'm on the verge of my seat here. I'm dying to know!" He said, trying hard not to laugh.**Flashback the previous night**"Blessing, why didn't you tell me that Elizabeth is coming today?" Austin asked as he paced back and forth. "I too didn't know…the maids called me and told me she arrived unannounced" she said, shrugging her shoulders. Her mother was always full of surprises."Well, when did she
It has been a whole month since the snow has melted. Summer was slowly approaching. You feel just by the atmosphere outside, the breath of fresh air.The flowers blooming, adding colour to the green grass that has coated the earth. The taste of still waters. Everything was bloomy. And admirable. It has been one month of Elizabeth Pitt staying in the Martin’s Mansion. And in this one month everything changed totally. There was never peace in the glorious Mansion… adding to the fact that the nosy mother in law of Austin was there. With everything going on around him, Austin did not feel like he was living in his house anymore. And there was no peace even in the dining room with Elizabeth complaining about one thing or the other.“Bless, you should make sure you change these maids. They are slacking. Look at this, you call this an omelette?” Elizabeth said with disdain as she raised an omelette from her plate.“This is even tasteless,” she continued. Austin mumbled inaudible words. But,
"Oh hello guys! Did you come to see mommy?" Blessing said as she dropped the envelope down…noting to read it later."So guys did you come alone? Where is grandma?" She asked the kids because she did not see Anastasia." Grandma is in the parking lot" 5 year old little Janice said and flashed her cutest smile. Blessing pinched her cheeks cutely.Little Jean frowned at his sister acting like a child. He was so composed, unlike most children who are always happy when seeing their mother. Jean had a serious face and looked intensely at his mother. Blessing had always felt that Jean never liked her, but as a mother she just put it at the back of her head."Hey, mom!" She said to Anastasia who entered her office and settled down on a chair. She looked at her beautiful mother in law. She wasn't so old. Her dark black hair is a mixture of white. Her face is so smooth like a baby butt cheeks and if you are not vigilant you'll not see the wrinkles around her eyes…when she smiles. She was a gor
After what happened before everything was quiet in the office…especially when the boss suddenly became so ruthless. Everyone was cautious of what they did…not forgetting that more than 30 employees were fired and the ones on the waiting list were being interviewed.Lisa and Leon were the most afraid to say anything…seeing that it was past the closing hours and the employees were not leaving due to fear of what their boss would say.Lisa looked at Leon and gestured for him to talk to their boss. Leon made a crunching face and elbowed her too, wondering why she would think that he wanted to be dead.“You want to say Mr Wallace?” a deep voice echoed in Leon’s ears as a shiver ran down his spine…Mr Wallace was too formal. Not every time he got to be called Mr Wallace this meant that things were not in his favour today.Slightly standing up straight, Leon answered.“No sir! ...” he said with a shaking voice. He dared not look at his boss. Today, he was angry for some reason and whoever mad
Last night, Blessing slept with red swollen eyes. She couldn't handle her husband cold shoulder…for this was the first time he was ignoring her like this.She woke up early in the morning…took a hot soothing shower. She wanted to speak to him before he could go to work.As she was busy making the bed… a bare footed Austin walked all dripping and wet. From the look of it, he was from the gym. The sweat that trickled down from his abs down to his deep-v waistline; did nothing but arouse Blessing who clenched her thighs together… her lips became parched and suddenly her throat became dry as she coughed awkwardly.The moment he stood behind her to take a glass of water…feeling his hot breath pass through her ears, the warmth radiating from him passing to her. It felt as if charcoal burned between her legs. Sweat started to form on her forehead…her knees buckled nearly falling…if not for the strong hands that held her waist firmly. The warmth from his rough smooth hands did nothing to sat
It has been over two weeks since Blessing and Austin argued. And after that day Blessing bursted in Austin's office. Austin managed to calm her down, saying it was for the best Elizabeth moved out. They both agreed on terms that if Elizabeth were to stay with them, there would be no peace in the house and they'll keep quarrelling about little things. So, they paid for an apartment where she would stay, even though she was not pleased.She argued about Austin filling her daughter's head with nonsense as if she were young. Now the peace had reigned in the house with no Elizabeth to complain about little details……….Kamala Mason needed a wife. That, too, tomorrow. Irritation and impatience rushed through him along with the drumming of his fingers in a rhythmic manner on his desk.Outside, the skyscrapers of Sydney were covered in thick and gloomy fog. It had just rained. That's what he liked about the coming of summer. It would rain and just leave fresh air in space… The steam gave
"I'm glad you're doing well Thompson…i hope you're not going around causing trouble" Nevena said into the phone. She swallowed a lump which had risen suddenly. It was ridiculous to feel sad. Her brother was happy now that he got to attend school with other rich kids…it was better for him to socialise than him being cooped up in a school where his talent was not appreciated. She felt proud of herself…she managed to do something her mother never did for her.This was always what she wanted for her brother: to be happy. Always."Come on Thompson the game is about to begin" she heard voices calling out to Thompson."I have to go sis!... go and paint the town red…do you even have plans for the weekend?" He enquired and waited for his sister's answer."Yes, I am going to…" Her mind went blank as she thought of what she's going to do: Read a romantic novel. Take a long hot bath. And finally go to bed. Since their mother is not there…she had nothing to do."See, what I'm talking about…you hav
Nevena walked towards her rented apartment. She walked along the passageway to her house carefully avoiding being splashed by water since it had rained. The rattling of rats seemed to not bother her. The noisy neighbourhood was filled with bad smells of some sort, urine, cigarette smoke, sewage and what not…she was accustomed to it. She was aware how disgusting and shabby the area they were living in was…She twisted the key and fought to open the door. Dimming on the lights in the passageway. She wished her mother had not gone to her hometown. Now she was not used to the emptiness and the silence that reigned in the house. She sighed heavily, glanced in the cupboards to see what she could make for dinner: a fast one. Even cooking seemed to be a problem.He had a perfect wife. Kamala knew he had to tread carefully. It was a sensitive business that held deceit. He was going to deceive someone who seemed to be so clever and conscious around her surroundings.Still he thought he knew h
