They soon got home and Richard hurried up the stairs to his room. But surprisingly, his father was home. He stopped in his tracks as his father stood at the entrance with his arms leaning against the wall."To the office." He instructed him and Richard looked to see Aspen staring back at him too. With skepticism, he reluctantly followed his father who had a stiff back. Richard noticed this and he knew that for his father to be tense like this, it is not a good sign.They got into the office and his father took a seat, his face void of any emotion and his eyes cold like ice."Lock the door." He ordered, his voice sounding like frost. Richard swallowed hard and locked the door. He turned to his father, hope he was not going to turn to a beast and prey on him? He rubbed his palm against his trousers and took a seat before him. His father studied him with eyes narrowed into slits for a while before moving to lean on the desk."We are done with the deal with Floyd. We will be returning bac

Welcome sir." The board chorused as Richard and Aspen walked into the meeting hall. Richard who had his hands in his pockets, nodded his head curtly and took a seat. Aspen sat down close to him with her face hard. She had woken up this morning to tell her kids, she won't be coming home. Her kids cried and she could not help but think of ways to bring them to her. She refused to talk to Richard except for when he asks about things work related."This is Mr. Richardson. Mr. Woods son." The Managing director introduced. The board gave a round of applause.Richard cleared his throat and scanned through the board. "I am satisfied with the your art of receiving your new CEO. I hope we work well. And I hope you know that I don't tolerate any slacking or late coming?" He asked."Yes sir." They chorused in reply. Richard nodded his head and they started talking about what Richard will be dealing with. Aspen would jot down the things even though she hardly paid attention to it.**"I heard Aspen

Days after, Richard and Aspen's relationship strained further and Aspen made sure to be on the look out for those people that were sending her messages. They seemed to get the fact that she was awaiting them so they just stopped. Richard stopped talking to her about he and Daisy's relationship. He did not want her to be caught in the midst of it at all. They had just come back from office that night and he had seen his father urging him to come with his hands curved in a come hither motion. Richard sent a glance to Aspen who just bowed and left for her room.Richard entered the office, his heart hammering against his chest because he knew whatever his father was about to say was a bad news already. "Father. " He greeted. Mr. Woods turned to his son and sighed. "I see you have been doing your best, trying to get Daisy back. It is really good son. That is nice. Very nice. You know when it comes to business, we should be ready to make sacrifice." He said and Richard put his hands in hi

It has been a week since she was fired from work. Richard did not call her neither did she too. She knew he could not call her if his father was the one behind everything. Aspen stood before the hotel's window, her eyes staring out into the busy streets. She did not know what to do but she has been trying to get an apartment and the agent said he was going to come through soon. She was even yet to give her brother a call, she knew how worried he would be when she tells him that she has been fired. But she knew that she could not just leave the city like that. Did she mention the weird message she received on the day she lodged into the hotel.It had made her self conscious of anywhere she goes to. She sighed and picked her phone. It is better than later. She dialed Benny's number and it rang for some minutes before he picked it."Hello," He drawled out, happiness obvious in his tone and a smile curled up on her lips."Hi," She replied softly."Decided to regain your memory? That you h

"Really? Where are you? I will come over now." Aspen said to the agent. He had called her to inform her that he found an apartment already and that it has been finalized. She got into her sandals and took a cab to meet him. She finally saw him and they exchanged pleasantries and began to discuss about the apartment."This is really a nice place for the money." She noted and he nodded his head."I am glad that you liked it." He said and she turned to him."All that remains is my signature, right?" She asked and he handed the files over to her. She went through it and signed in the place she was supposed to."Thank you so much for your help." She said and he gave her a curt nod before leaving. She exhaled and looked around the place.It is time to spend some money. She thought.In the following days, she made sure to get the necessary things for the apartment. Although she had lodged out of the hotel, it was still not easy for her to move in. With bothering on how her kids will come ove

(1926)"Hello, Benny." She picked her phone and held it in place with her shoulders as she cut the cabbage."Hello, beautiful sister. How is your investigation doing?" He teased her and she rolled her eyes."Be careful." she warned him, her eyes were hardened. He snorted a laughter and took a seat in his office."So what is up?" He asked."I... I got a new job at the bar." She said and his brows twitched."You did? Wait, a bar? Why not apply in a company?" He asked.She exhaled deeply. "I did but I am yet to get any reply. Anyway, it is just for the time being so... It is nothing much." She replied and he nodded his head understandably."Okay, so when are you resuming?" He questioned."Tonight." She replied and he sighed."Wish you good luck." He said and she smiled softly."Thank you." She mumbled and disconnected the call.She had gone through her email only to see that they had accepted, even though it hardly brought any excitement to her, she still tried to make it work out.

To say she was confused would be an understatement. How the hell did this person know she got a new job? Okay, she was beginning to be scared and this was beginning to look ridiculous. This person knew how she was living her life. Even to this extent, did he also know she had kids? Maybe they should not come home yet? She picked the flowers and twisted the door knob and entered the house, cautiously looking around to see if there was any shadow in the house."Hello?" She called out and her voice resounded and echoed through the house. Her forehead turned sweaty and she could not help but dab the sweat off with the back of her right hand. It was too early to be this agitated. Too early in the morning.What the heck is really going on in her life right now?She pulled off her sandals and walked into her room then back into her kitchen. She let out a harsh breath and slumped on the couch. This person was driving her crazy. And she would not lie he was not doing a good job at it. Her pho

Days later, she has been finding herself busy and it seemed like after that night, her stalker had taken a pause. "Hey," Anna patted her on her shoulders and Aspen blinked her eyes before to turn face Anna."What are you thinking about?" She asked her as she dropped the tray. Aspen exhaled and shook her head. She still did not fill so comfortable enough to tell her about her problems or worries so she just gave her a small smile."Was just thinking about life." She said and Anna arched a brow at her. They have gotten close that Anna sometimes drop her off at her house and that made Aspen want to have her own car too."I see. Life has been treating you bad. Well not as bad as mine, my mother finally moved in with my father after six years of being separated, the fact that I will have to live with him cringe me a lots." She said and Aspen looked away."Waitress No. 17?" A voice called from the outside and Aspen looked up instantly."I am here." She signified. She smoothed her apron and

"What?!" Aspen's ears rang as she heard what the manager said as she stood before him."You heard me right. You are fired." He repeated again and her shoulders sagged at what she heard. What the hell happened? How did it happen?She swallowed down the lump in her throat and managed to ask him. "Sir, I deeply apologize for what happened last night. It was a slip of tongue coupled with the fact that I was angry. I know I should not have spoken to high customers like that but...""None of this explanation is going to help the fact that I am firing you." He cut her off and she could not help but fall on her knees."Sir, please. I am begging you. I promise you I will behave from now on. I...""Miss Aspen, please respect yourself and walk out. Unless you want to have the dignity of being carried out by the security guards." He said and Aspen knew that moment that it was over. That her new job was over. It was even yet to be a month and she already got fired. Why? How? Why is all this happe

29 Aspen stood before her mirror and her eyes stared back at her reflection. She could not help the sigh that escaped through her nostrils. She picked the necklace and wore a pair of brown sandals before stepping out of the house and locking the door. She looked around for any of the stalker's shadow but she saw nothing. She snorted and walked down the street to get a cab. It was evening so it was really easy to see one, after signaling one which ignored her. She shook her head and signaled to another and finally that seemed to notice her. It drove towards her and she got into it. Ignoring the fact that she does not have any cash to pay for her coming back. Well, Anna will have to deal with that. She thought ."Where to, Miss?" the driver asked and Aspen passed the sheet of paper she had written the address of the place to him and he nodded his head ."I know the place." He said and ignited the car's engine. She relaxed against the chair and looked through the mirror.It did not take
