Olivia turned to her side on the bed, it was late afternoon yet she hadn’t eaten breakfast and has lost all appetite for a meal, she hadn’t answered any call from who had called her more than seven times. Her parents had also knocked on the door, yet she didn’t leave the room but called out from inside telling them that she wanted to be alone. She still thought of what she had been told last night, how she won’t be going back to Hawaii, how she won’t be able to complete her studies because of her father’s huge debt, and how they were going to leave this home she had grown up in. They had told her they would be moving to a country side, far from here, next to the oceans, a place with no modern job, perhaps she would become a fisher or a trader, her expensive life would be wash down the drain. She would be separated from Lawrence and from Chloe, it was going to be extremely lonely, yet that is the life they wanted her to live right now. She heard a knock on the door and turned to th

Olivia walked down the street with sadness surrounding her features, she didn’t know what to do or how to stop her family from moving, she had no job and all she had thought was how she would study and work at her father’s company, then inherit it one day.She sniffled, with no tears in her eyes, she spot a bench by the bus stop and strolled over to it, there she sat down and gazed at the road, watching different vehicle drive by.Her cell phone rang and she glanced down at the caller ID to see it was Lawrence, but she lets out a deep sigh and ignored the call.She wanted to tuck her cell phone in her trouser pocket, but the call came again and it was still from Lawrence, so she decided to take the call.“Olivia, where are you?” That was the first thing Lawrence asked when the call connected and the tears she had been holding back clustered in her eyes.“I don’t know.” She said softly, she had just walked out of the house and went in the direction her feet led her, also, it has been a

Parker and Juliet kept on trying Olivia’s number to no avail, they were standing at the veranda of their apartment and staring towards the entrance for any sight of Olivia, but there was none.It was past ten and she still wasn’t home, Juliet had cried her eyes out and Parker couldn’t help his worried heart.“What if she never returns home?” Juliet turned her wet eyes to Parker and he was also helpless right now and didn’t know how to console his wife, he was also worried.“Perhaps, I was wrong, Juliet.” His forehead creased and he rubbed it with his hand and his eyelid dropped, visible wrinkles appeared on his forehead. “She must be so upset about losing the house, about going over to the countryside, about moving away from her friends.”Juliet locked gaze with him and studying his gaze, her eyes dilated, she quickly shook her head. “You aren’t considering that, are you?” Her lower lips trembled and Parker looked away from her eyes.“I have no choice.” He drew a sharp exasperating si

Parker arrived home with the briefcase filled with money, he was welcomed by his wife Juliet who couldn’t sleep and waited for him.“How did it go?” She quickled asked him and he lifted the briefcase which she recognized and her heart sank, she knew this was why he was called, but now the deal was done, she felt weak.She slowly sat on the sofa and he placed the briefcase on the table and sat down next to her, they stared at the briefcase in silence for a while before Juliet parted her lips to break the silence.“What was his terms?” She immediately asked, turning her eyes to look at him and he placed the brown envelop on the table next to her.“This is the contract.” He pointed and she glanced from it to him and shook her head, sitting up.“I want you to say it to me,” Her eyes swept his face. “Tell me if my daughter is in good hands and if what is written in there would harm her.” She pointed at the document and he faced her.“From what I read, she will be in good hand, he would giv

Chloe turned to Olivia with sparkling eyes. “This is great, Olivia!” Chloe screamed in joy and it felt like she was more excited than Olivia when she heard the news, even with the tears in her eyes, she jumped up in great joy.“Calm down Chloe, I should be happier than you…” Olivia tried to talk sense into her, but Chloe couldn’t contain the joy she felt inside.“Do you know what this means?” She raised the corner of her brows. “it means we have lots of time to spend together and a great deal of things to do, there is even a party tonight that I am going and would want you to go with me, but I didn’t inform you because I thought you were leaving today.”“A party?” Olivia’s eyes dilated, she love the thought of that, they had always talked about how they would go to different parties when they get older, but she had to leave for Hawaii to study before she even had the time to party and over there, she devoted her time to studying and didn’t go to any party because of the workload she h
