THE kitchen was quiet except for the rhythmic clatter of utensils and the soft hum of the refrigerator. Orlanda stood by the stove, stirring a pot of simmering stew, her mind swirling still with thoughts Carlson's request. The smell of herbs and spices filled the air, offering a small comfort amidst the turmoil. She tried to focus on the task at hand, the steady chopping of vegetables and the gentle sizzle of meat, hoping it would help clear her thoughts.

Her hands moved almost mechanically as she ladled the stew into a large serving dish, her mind wandering back to Carlson's ominous words. The tension from the conversation still gnawed at her, making it difficult to concentrate on anything else. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself, and turned her attention to setting the dining table.

The clinking of plates and silverware on the polished surface felt almost soothing. She placed each item with deliberate care, arranging them as neatly as she could. The table was set with

    THE sound of boots echoing on the polished marble floor signaled Dwayne's arrival. Oswald stood behind his desk, his back to the room, gazing out of the large window overlooking the vast cityscape. Nathan had called Dwayne at Oswald's order, and he wasted no time obeying.Dwayne strode in, a figure of authority and calm efficiency. He gave a respectful bow to Oswald, who did not turn around but simply gave a slight nod in acknowledgment. His attention remained fixed on the view outside, the morning light casting a cold glow on his sharp features, as his thoughts raced on the scenario unfolding.Orlanda stood frozen near the door, her heart hammering against her chest. Already having an idea of what was about to unfold, something in the atmosphere chilled her to the core, this was more reason for her to say they were acting on a tip off. Dwayne wasn't always around at the company, he was always at the mansion, but for Nathan to ring him and he quickly showed up, spelt something.Then,

    ORLANDA'S hand froze mid air, the fork hovering just above the food as Oswald's voice commanded, "Stop." Her heart raced as she looked up at him, fear pooling in her eyes. She didn't understand why he halted her, was he toying with her? Or was there something else?Oswald's cold, calculated stare pierced through her, making her feel small and powerless. He took another step forward, the room shrinking under the weight of his presence. "How did you get into my office?" He asked again, his voice low but dangerous, every word laced with suspicion.She gasped, not expecting that at all."I have asked this question, and a series of other questions and till yet, no reply from you Orlanda," he added.Orlanda's mind scrambled for an answer as she slowly dropped the fork and turned her back to the food, fear choked her, leaving her stammering, unable to form a coherent sentence. "I- I... I just... I was-"Her words trailed off into gibberish, her thoughts a chaotic mess. She had no valid ex

    IT felt like the whole world at that moment was on a standstill, Orlanda stood frozen, her heart pounding as she watched Oswald and Nathan enter the office. The way they barged in made it seem like they had been tipped off, heightening the panic that gripped her. She trembled visibly, her hands shaking as her thoughts raced. How did they know? Why are they here now? They were supposed to be at the meeting, Carlson assured her that. Her fears grew with each passing second.Oswald's piercing gaze locked onto her, sending a chill down her spine. His voice, so cold and demanding, cut through the air. "What are you doing here?"Her throat went dry. She could barely form words, feeling more exposed than ever before. She stammered, avoiding his intense stare. "I- I came to drop your lunch," she pointed nervously at the food sitting on the desk. She hoped that explanation would be enough, but the look in his eyes told her otherwise, besides she knew it wouldn't, Oswald wasn't one to be foo

    THE morning sun filtered through the kitchen window, casting a warm glow over Orlanda as she prepared for the day ahead. Her hands moved with practiced efficiency as she worked. Oswald and the rest of the household had had breakfast, and he and Nathan had already left for work, leaving her behind as usual, all alone, that Carlson was able to get her the other day.She had cleaned the whole house with the vacuum cleaner, done the dishes used the night before and that morning, picked flowers from the garden as usual and cleaned the kitchen. That was her work for that morning. Now, she stood at the kitchen counter and packed up lunch for her boss, the lunch meant to be an access tool to get into his office in order to get the documents, yes, it was the D-day. As she packed up the lunch, each step was done with an unsettling sense of precision. The lunchbox was filled with carefully arranged sandwiches, fruits, and a small thermos of coffee. However, nestled within the meal was a small

    THE dimly lit room echoed with the soft clink of glasses as Carlson poured himself a drink, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. He leaned back in his chair, swirling the liquid in his glass, savoring both the drink and the triumph slowly taking shape. Kaylan stood near the window, arms crossed, his usual composed demeanor unshaken."Everything is falling into place," Carlson said, a smirk tugging at his lips. His eyes glinted with malice as he set his glass down. "Oswald won't know what hit him, at all."Kaylan tilted his head slightly, his gaze meeting Carlson's. "What is the next plan master?" He asked. "Tomorrow is Thursday, and Orlanda will be coming. She is in deeper now."Carlson's smile widened, the cunning glint in his eyes sharpening. "Oh, I have already put things in motion. Oswald has a crucial meeting someday next week. He will be away from his office, and that is when Orlanda will make her move."Kaylan nodded but said nothing, allowing Carlson to continue."She will g
