"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
There was a thick fog in space, filling the air. It was slightly cold since it had just rained and early in the morning. Austin sat in his office chair. Deep in thoughts. His friend was really leaving today, but when did he get married? But he didn't have to worry as he knew Kamala will switch to blackmailing or manipulating someone to get what he wants.He shook his head and continued to look at the files before him. He was busy scrawling his name on the files that needed to be signed when he saw a greyish envelope with a white ribbon wrapped around it. He called Lisa to know where it came from, since Leon was off."I don't know sir…I took it from the reception. They said a lady brought it in and said it was meant for you…" Lisa said sincerely knowing that what she said was nothing but the truth."Did they see the lady's face?" He enquired to know who the lady was who brought the small envelope."No. Unfortunately not, they said she was in a hurry and she had disguised herself…and si
As they waited to depart. Nevena tried not to squirm under her boss's watchful sharp gaze. It seemed her boss was looking at her too much for her liking.She tucked the strands falling on her forehead behind her ears. Why was he watching her like that?Kamala looked at his PA. The heels she wore seemed to be tight and pinched her feet. He had to say she was looking like a lady boss. Especially the white colour suited her perfectly…only if she was sane.He kept scrutinising her from toe to head. His eyes stopped at her chest area…her succulent breasts looked so small such that they could fit in his large hands. The black vest she wore beneath the suit, complemented her outfit."You should've worn the pumps" he simply said and looked back at the stash of papers before him."And why is that if I may ask?" Nevena asked, raising her brows a little."Where we're going, there's sand and you won't be able to walk properly with heels on sand," he said, still focusing on his work. Nevena neve
