At the Johnson’s mansion.Feeling depressed, Amelia returned home looking so downcast. She walked into the living room and met her mum watching TV.Mrs Ann notices her daughter’s sad demeanor and put the TV on mute. She signals to her daughter to come closer.The house was basically empty, because they had laid off all the staff due to financial constraints.“What is the matter, dear?” she asked in a tender tone.Amelia, who was already sobbing, walked towards her. She gestured for Amelia to sit beside her. She wrapped her arms around Amelia’s waist and drew her closer for a tight hug.“What is wrong, darling?”“Why are you looking so sad?” Mrs. Ann asked.Amelia remained mute. She was still trying to process what was going on. There was no other viable option for her. She was at a dead end.“Talk to me please.”“What happened?”“It’s Arthur.” She finally managed to form words in a cracked voice.She whimpered as she spoke. Tears dripped down her eyes.“I went to his office to talk to

Even after living in that ramshackle of a house for some days, Amelia still hasn’t gotten habituated to the environment.There was no pool, no servants. Some parts of the roof leaked whenever it rained. The bathroom didn’t have a bathtub.To top it all off, the house was infested with rodents and insects.She could be laying on her bed resting silently and look up and find a group of cockroaches having a party on the walls and ceiling.The house wasn’t the only inconvenience she was facing at the moment. She was also running very low on cash.Normally, she would go on shopping sprees regularly to fill her wardrobe with the latest designer fashion trends. But now, she could barely even afford an average priced handbag.Her privileges at Crown Royal Corporations were no more, because they had lost the company. Also, daddy wasn’t giving her any money either.It had dawned on her that she would have to find a means of earning money. But how? It’s not like she has any marketable skills wha

Meanwhile, at Brookland Corporations.Aria had already started working, and in less than a week of working, she already showed that she was amazing at her job.She's a naturally hardworking person. But at Brookland Corporations, she worked extra hard so as not to disappoint Arthur. It was a privilege for her to be working at such a firm and she didn't want to misuse that opportunity.The last thing she wanted was to go back to working in a restaurant. Here, she would be making many times more than what she was making at the restaurant.Also, she got the job without having to pay for it without her body. She didn't get any of the previous jobs she applied for, because when they saw her beauty, they always asked her for sex and she would decline them.Aria was a very loveable person. She was easygoing, and she had a sense of humor. So everyone around the office really liked her.Well, except for those ladies that were jealous of her because Arthur was frequently hanging out with her.Th

The lights were dim, with a warm hue.A few candles positioned strategically around the restaurant helped to light up the place and give it a nice rustic ambiance.The soft, jazzy piano playing in the background mixed with the clinking of silverware against dinnerware complimented the romantic atmosphere of the diner.Various savoury and mouthwatering aroma filled every corner of the restaurant.“You didn’t tell me this was a date.” Aria said.She rolled her eyes and gave him an unamused look as they sat down at their reserved table.Arthur had picked her up at her house earlier in the evening, and they drove about 30 minutes to get to ‘nourriture délicieuse’, a fancy French restaurant located in the city.“It’s not a date.”“It’s just my way of making up for the incident earlier.”Arthur put on a sad face.“I’ve told you already. You don’t need to apologise for anything.”“I know... I know...” Arthur interrupted.“You said that. But just accept it anyway.”“Fine.” Aria said with a de

Amelia was pacing agitatedly as she waited for the emergency medical personnels to arrive. It took some time for them to get there because the house was located near the outskirts of the city.When they finally arrived, Amelia pointed them to where Mr. Clark was lying motionless. They gave him oxygen and then put him on a stretcher before carrying him to the ambulance.Amelia joined them in the ambulance, and then they drove to the hospital.When they arrived at the hospital, they transferred him from the ambulance on to a bed, then the nurses came out and wheeled him into the emergency room where they admitted him.Amelia followed closely behind them.The doctor administered CPR and told the nurse to prep him up for thrombolysis.They requested Amelia to wait outside the ER as they began their treatment.She went to the lobby to wait, but was too restless to even sit for long.She stood up and paced for a while. She went outside, came back in, went to the bathroom, and came back to t
