Astra shrieked as she came into contact with at all man.“Calm down, miss,” the man said, it already felt like her heart leapt to her throat, and she was shaking. Through her disoriented self, she could tell that the voice was different from the one that called her. This voice sounded of age.“What are you doing here?” Astra asked. This person was different from the person who called her, and the area was too quiet for people to just be roaming around. Astra could feel her fear building up again.“I should be the one asking you that, miss,” the man asked, and Astra looked at the man very well. The place was dark but she could see with the aid of her phone torch that he was dressed in some sort of uniform.“I am the keeper of this warehouse. Is there anything you needed?” The man asked and Astra became calm. Nevertheless, the small amount of hope that she harbored that the man was the one who called her disappeared. “Someone called me, the person asked me to see him here, I guess it m

Astra dug into her meal of turkey and potatoes. It melted in her mouth and she smiled as she ate it. It was very delicious. Steph had always been a very good cook unlike Astra. To complement the fact that she could cook next to nothing, Astra appreciated food a lot, especially good food."The meal is really nice, Steph," Astra said."Awwn, thank you so much," Steph replied."You know, you could open a culinary school, you will make it big," Astra suggested and Steph just smiled. She had been telling her friend the same thing for so long. Steph was a full time house wife and while they were in college, her dream was to open a restaurant. After she started dating Ray though, she stopped talking about it entirely. It seemed as though the dream had died.Astra had tried to talk to her friend about it several times but to no avail. Steph's mouth was sealed about that. She said that she was more comfortable cooking for her husband than the world."We have something to tell you, Astra," Ray

Chapter 26Nicholas was boiling when he picked up his phone to call Sarah. They needed to figure out who was helping Thompson and fast. His company was under attack again, but it was subtle. Clients were slowly selling out their shares. Nicholas could feel in it in his bones that it was a warning. Whoever was behind the havoc that his company faced five years ago was also doing it now. Nicholas could not go back to losing everything, not after all he did. He couldn't."Hello, Nicky how are you?" Sarah said in a chatty tone. Nicholas was not in the mood for all of that."Come to my house immediately," he said in a clipped voice. Sarah seemed to get the memo as she did not throw a line as she usually would or complain. She just said okay.Nicholas paced around the house and fumed as he waited for Sarah to come. He had a glass of whiskey in his hand. He could not help the fact that the alcohol made him sane at the moment. Nicholas heard from his informant at Astra's office that his wife

Nicholas sat alone in his office hitting his pen on his text slowly, he was cooking up a plan in his head, one that would involve Sarah and Theo. It would be perfect to make Astra jealous, now the thing was to convince Sarah. Nicholas took a deep breath and rang Sarah."Hey, Nicky," she said as she picked up the call."Hi, Sarah. Can you come up to my office?" He asked."Of course, sure. There are a few things I wanted us to discuss about the shareholders. I also found someone perfect for your jealousy scheme," Sarah said. He could hear some background noises. He knew she was already getting up from her desk. She would be at his office in no time.Nicholas suddenly didn't want her to come anymore. Convincing her to do the jealousy plan would be so much harder. She already said she had someone else for him.Before long his secretary called him that Sarah was at his door and he reluctantly told him to let her in."So, I met with some of the shareholders already. I didn't get much inform

Astra's tears did not dry even as she sat in the driveway of her apartment. She had no idea what to do, or what to think. She was still pining and crying over a man that clearly moved on. The nerve of Nicholas to have a child without her, when she was still suffering loss. The child open new wounds and brought up old memories. Memories that she did not want to think of.Astra tried to clean her tears so she could come out of the car, but the tears kept on pouring down as she remembered the girl and her child. The painful part about it all was the fact that the girl was not like the one she saw previously, fake with excess make up and boob jobs. Astra saw somebody who was simple and still confident in their body and that was the real deal. It was something she envied.Astra cleaned her tears again and this time managed to come out of her. All she wanted to do was to enter her room and cry. Astra walked out of the parking lot and started into the apartment building. She was already insi
