No pov.The silhouette of a man stood out visibly, his face turned to the side as he gazed through the open window.The lively light from the street slipped into the car, giving more light to the man's we'll define features.The car drove away at a reasonable speed.No one dared to utter a word, for fear of losing their life, although it was silent the air around the place was enough to make one feel tense and the recent development did nothing to lighten the mood.Everyone always felt on edge when it involved the CEO because he never overlooked any form of mistake, not to mention the fact that one can't tell when he was happy or angry as he always maintained a phlegmatic profile, the guard on their part was relieved that they didn't have to ride in the same car as the man but the driver and secretary seated in front were not feeling the same relief."Liam" Came to the monotoned voice of the man which startled his secretary though the man's voice was low, interrupting the Secretary fr

"Rebekah," I called with a softer tone as I watched the tear roll down her eye.Did she overhear my discussion with her boyfriend, If she did, how much did she hear, oh God, poor Rebekah, this was why I couldn't bring myself to tell her, but somehow a part of me was glad that she didn't have to hear it from me, I doubted I could ever look her in the face and tell her thing that I know would hurt her, it just wasn't in me.I saw many emotions in her eye but the more evident ones were pain, hurt, and something else I couldn't quite place my finger on.I decided not to give much thought to it and scurried towards her."Rebe..." I called out again and I tried to touch her but what happened next surprised me.She shoved me away from her and I stumbled backward, a harsh look present on her face and in her eye.I was dumped found and suddenly bereft of words, what just happened? "Don't....touch me." She declared, in a cold but haltering voice as she towered over me, was this some sort of pr

I promptly snapped out of my trance."Mom" I uttered in a shaky voice as I slowly approached her."Please...don't"The tears streamed harder down my face when she turned around to face me, I couldn't help but place my then outstretched hands over my mouth, her face was a mess, with bruises and swelling all over.Anger spread through me, initially, I had my doubts, but now everything was clear, these were not bruises she inflicted on herself, they were all my father's doing, and he was at it again."Your scumbag of a father does like to be rough with his women."She uttered as she staggered backward"Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if I'm the problem." She said in a way that seemed like she was talking to herself."Mom.." I called out but it seemed like she couldn't hear me."Mom, don't...please don't do this.""Yes, yes I have to be the problem."She recited as if very sure of her words." This family would be better off without me.""No, mom you are not the problem so, please don't""N

"Where the hell was this restroom anyways?"I had tried to follow the directions given to me by a woman who seemed to be part of the carnival but so far I was yet to find the restroom.God! what was I supposed to do? I was so pressed right now that if handed an empty container I would be tempted to pee in it, Ugh! what was I thinking? I quickly discarded the idea while cursing in a low voice, I did drink a lot of coffee but I wasn't expecting it to turn out this way and it didn't help matter that the ladies I had been trying to get direction from weren't listening to me.What was their problem anyways? I knew I wasn't the fanciest dresser but my clothing was pretty decent, maybe a little worn out but still presentable, plus I wasn't the type to go for tight, classy, and sexy clothing, I was more into loose and comfortable once.I was just walking along the hallway when I noticed a group of men who gave me an uneasy feeling, It wasn't that they were dressed suspiciously, they dressed

It had been a week since the kidnapping incident. I could still remember how seriously they took the matter, especially Aunt Anne and Uncle Tom but I reassured them not to worry that the police were on it, although I haven't heard from them, I wasn't as worried as I was initially, as of now I decide to just shove the thought to the side.Today I got a reply from the hospital, I had officially become a resident in the hospital of my dreams and this also brought me a step closer to actualizing my dreams, to commemorate this great day, the girls and I decide to go on a girl's night out.Rebekah had been the one to pick the location and the girls were so elated when they heard we had patched things up, I thought things were going to be going smoothly as of now but the future seemed to hold something different in store."""""Alright, let's make a toast to Eve, she's officially a resident now" Phoebe proposed as she nudged my shoulder.We clicked our glasses together and took our shot of a
