It was Monday, late in the afternoon. The ground was still blanketed with the white small flakes. Today the weather was not that chilly, Although there was a little bit of wind. But the atmosphere in the air was rather pleasant, but not in the Martin Mansion.“What do you mean mother?” Blessing asked her mother who invited herself in her home. With Elizabeth Pitt; Blessing’s mother in the house, everything was bound to get frantic. She loved nothing but neatness. She ridiculed every little detail that she saw. She loved designing and wanted everything to be in perfection.“I mean exactly that” she looked at her mother like she had grown horns on her head. She just could not believe her mother would tell her to leave her husband of five years. Was she crazy to think that she would do such an embarrassing and disgracing act?Hell no!“But why? ... that good for nothing boy would not give you whatever you desire.” Elizabeth yelled. Her stupid of a daughter decided to marry someone who is

It has been a whole month since the snow has melted. Summer was slowly approaching. You feel just by the atmosphere outside, the breath of fresh air.The flowers blooming, adding colour to the green grass that has coated the earth. The taste of still waters. Everything was bloomy. And admirable. It has been one month of Elizabeth Pitt staying in the Martin’s Mansion. And in this one month everything changed totally. There was never peace in the glorious Mansion… adding to the fact that the nosy mother in law of Austin was there. With everything going on around him, Austin did not feel like he was living in his house anymore. And there was no peace even in the dining room with Elizabeth complaining about one thing or the other.“Bless, you should make sure you change these maids. They are slacking. Look at this, you call this an omelette?” Elizabeth said with disdain as she raised an omelette from her plate.“This is even tasteless,” she continued. Austin mumbled inaudible words. But,

After what happened before everything was quiet in the office…especially when the boss suddenly became so ruthless. Everyone was cautious of what they did…not forgetting that more than 30 employees were fired and the ones on the waiting list were being interviewed.Lisa and Leon were the most afraid to say anything…seeing that it was past the closing hours and the employees were not leaving due to fear of what their boss would say.Lisa looked at Leon and gestured for him to talk to their boss. Leon made a crunching face and elbowed her too, wondering why she would think that he wanted to be dead.“You want to say Mr Wallace?” a deep voice echoed in Leon’s ears as a shiver ran down his spine…Mr Wallace was too formal. Not every time he got to be called Mr Wallace this meant that things were not in his favour today.Slightly standing up straight, Leon answered.“No sir! ...” he said with a shaking voice. He dared not look at his boss. Today, he was angry for some reason and whoever mad

It has been over two weeks since Blessing and Austin argued. And after that day Blessing bursted in Austin's office. Austin managed to calm her down, saying it was for the best Elizabeth moved out. They both agreed on terms that if Elizabeth were to stay with them, there would be no peace in the house and they'll keep quarrelling about little things. So, they paid for an apartment where she would stay, even though she was not pleased.She argued about Austin filling her daughter's head with nonsense as if she were young. Now the peace had reigned in the house with no Elizabeth to complain about little details……….Kamala Mason needed a wife. That, too, tomorrow. Irritation and impatience rushed through him along with the drumming of his fingers in a rhythmic manner on his desk.Outside, the skyscrapers of Sydney were covered in thick and gloomy fog. It had just rained. That's what he liked about the coming of summer. It would rain and just leave fresh air in space… The steam gave

Nevena walked towards her rented apartment. She walked along the passageway to her house carefully avoiding being splashed by water since it had rained. The rattling of rats seemed to not bother her. The noisy neighbourhood was filled with bad smells of some sort, urine, cigarette smoke, sewage and what not…she was accustomed to it. She was aware how disgusting and shabby the area they were living in was…She twisted the key and fought to open the door. Dimming on the lights in the passageway. She wished her mother had not gone to her hometown. Now she was not used to the emptiness and the silence that reigned in the house. She sighed heavily, glanced in the cupboards to see what she could make for dinner: a fast one. Even cooking seemed to be a problem.He had a perfect wife. Kamala knew he had to tread carefully. It was a sensitive business that held deceit. He was going to deceive someone who seemed to be so clever and conscious around her surroundings.Still he thought he knew h
