The sky was dark and the rain continued to drizzle and there was still traffic. It was 7 o’clock in the morning but it looked like it was 9 pm in the night because of the dark sky. “Can’t you take a detour duke?” Valerie asked the driver. “If I take the detour ma’am, we might still meet the traffic on the other side,” he said. “So, I’m stuck in this motherfu...” Valerie said but was interrupted by her older brother. “Nope, you are not going to say any foul word in my car,” Xavier said.   “Oh please, Xavier, we are stuck!” Valerie said continuing to complain about the weather’s wrong timing. “I’m driving you, young lady, in my car to your fashion store even though I’m late to work, don’t complain,” Xavier said irritated by his little sister’s attitude. “Please Xavier, you are only 5 years older than me and technically you are not driving, Duke is,” Valerie said and Xavier ignored her knowing

*The next day*Justin settled down into his apartment, he didn’t want to work in his father’s company and still leave in his father’s house.When he was 18, his father gifted him the apartment as a birthday gift so it was under his name officially not his father’s.He checked around and saw there was dust everywhere. The house needed cleaning and dusting and he was the only one to do all the work. If only Jaden was here, he thought.Jaden Blake was Justin’s best friend who died 5 years ago when they were 21years old. Justin could never forget him and it was this house where they were up to mischief and all sorts of things. Jaden was a black young man with green eyes. Well, technically, he was brown because he was born to a white mother and a black father. Though his race nor background never for once affected their relationship. Jaden was from an average family. They weren’t rich n

“Could someone perhaps explain what happened here?” as he returned to his office, Xavier said. Present were a lot of reporters there, and two of his employees were killed and three more were injured.“Are you Mr. Houston?” A policeman asked.“Yes, that’s me,” Xavier said.“Well sir, from the CCTV footage we watched, your company was attacked by the notorious thieves who call themselves the undertakers,” the policeman said.“I don’t understand, why?” Xavier asked.“Can you follow me to the station so we can explain fully?” the policeman asked and Xavier nodded in affirmation.When they arrived at the station, the policeman directed him to the detective in charge of the case.“My name is detective Joe Allen and I’m in charge of the undertaker’s case,” Detective Joe said “Why should these so-called undertakers ro

Light shone through the windows that Valerie had left opened the night before. She opened her heavy eyes like an old computer slowing booting. She sat up on her bed and the scenes of all that happened last night were replaced in her head and she was tempted to cry again but she knew she had a lot of work to do today which was Friday.  Friday was the day in which she sold most goods because it was like the first step to the weekend where a lot of events will take place. I.e birthday parties, weddings and a lot more.  She checked her phone to see if she had received a return call from Scott whom she had called 12 times the night before but there was none.  A notification came up on her phone and she checked it. It was a reminder that she and Scott had a date planned out for that evening. She simply sighed and put her phone away and got out of bed and went to have

Valerie bid Scott goodnight with a kiss and went sent a text to her mom that they should give her a week to make up her mind about the arranged wedding they fixed for her. She wanted to take Scott home on Tuesday and lie she was pregnant so her dad will have no choice but to succumb to her. Scott had asked her to follow him home but she had refused because she had work to do. Today was Friday and she had a lot of work to do and besides Tuesday was not so far away.She got home, pulled her clothes, and changed into her pajamas.She got on her bed and slept off. It has been a very hectic day. **** Saturday...Tyler woke up and all her body was aching her, she had slept on the sofa in her office the night before and she, therefore, would say that there's nothing better than sleeping in your bed and comfort zone.She decided to go to the hospital for a check-up because she was sure that bes
