Chapter 41

It was a weekend and the moment for keeping fit had come. Along the opposite ends of the streets of Purple City were a few people who knew what it meant to keep fit and maintain their bodies in good shape.Charles had been inconsistent with his jog. And for a moment he was discouraged and wanted to return home and abort his plans of running a few hours to burn some calories.But the sight of some adults and children on the road was all the motivation he needed to rescind his decision. A few times that he had been on the road, he went with his pet dogs Becks and Juu. However, he didn't feel like walking them so he left them behind. Charles ran a few miles and could feel the impact of the jog. His body was dripping with sweat and his shirt was already soaked in sweat. His heart was pounding fast and just when he thought to take a break and cool off for a few minutes before continuing, he heard a male voice shout his name from a distance. "Charles. Charles. Charles." The voice kept

"I had an idea yesterday, but it was ruined because of you," Fiona said in an accusing voice and caressed the chest of her husband who was lying on the bed with his shirt unbuttoned. "Oh wow, what did I do to ruin your idea? And what idea could that be if I may ask?" Charles responded and put his hand on the lap of his wife who was seated on the bed."Well, after your time out jogging yesterday, I thought of exploring this house with you. You know your father never allowed me entry on countless occasions, but now that we are legally married, and I live here now, I thought this would be the perfect time to get to know the four corners of this huge mansion." She revealed. "But you suddenly left for your friend's house and on your return, you were mad and virtually said nothing to me till this morning," she added."Aww, I'm sorry honey. Please forgive me," he apologized and kissed her on the thigh. "Why were you so mad last night? What happened at your friend's end?" She queried."Oh,

The early morning breezy air on the bedroom balcony was to die for. And everywhere Fiona turned, it caressed her skin and pushed her an inch to sleep.But sleep was the last thing that could take her away because a revelation Charles made the previous day during their house tour got her thinking. She covered herself in her nightgown with her arms folded. And then kept tapping her feet as her eyes moved in circles feasting on the beautiful aerial view of the city that was yet to be fully active.Suddenly, she slowly got up and made her way to the bedroom and then exited to the living room downstairs while her husband was still sleeping. "Fiona!" Charles said as she jumped and her heart skipped a beat. "Gosh, you scared me," she said.The squeaky noise from the bedroom door woke Charles up, so Immediately she left the room, he also got out of bed and followed her."I am sorry about that. But why are you here? Shouldn't you be in bed by now?" He queried and turned to the wall clock i

It was midday and the sun was playing tricks on the inhabitants of Purple City. One moment it would come out in its full glory and brighten up the city. And just before anyone could marvel at its brightness, it would go away and make it seem as though it was dusk.But the tricks of the sun could not influence Charles and Fiona.Earlier, Fiona had suggested they move into Charles' bedroom he once shared with Tracy. And upon sober reflection, her husband thought she had a point and agreed to move back into his former bedroom.But Fiona would want that to happen on her terms, so she suggested a few changes be made in the bedroom before they moved in."Careful with that," Fiona said, instructing Theophilus and David as the two men held on to the edges of a king-size mattress and slowly moved from the ground floor to the upper floor where the bedroom was. "Honey, do you think any of this is necessary? Why can't we just move in and use the old bed? I slept in it once and it was comfortab

There was somber calmness at the Woodpine public cemetery. The gentle breeze in the atmosphere rustled the leaves of the surrounding trees thereby creating a soft echoing sound that reflected the emotions in the air. Tracy's eyes were puffy red from so much crying. And while she stood by the weathered tombstones of her late parents, the tears still kept flowing down her face.She reached for the locket of her necklace that contained photos of her late parents and screamed. But her voice disappeared into the distance. "Mummy. Daddy. I know this visit is unusual because for the last couple of years, I have been coming here on my birthday with my new found family to bring you some flowers. But that won't be happening anymore," she said sobbing.Over the years, she visited the graveside with Charles and Mr Parker to bring some flowers to her late parents. "Your daughter needs you," she said in a weak voice as her hands began to shake. Her late parents had been buried side by side b

The day had faded away and Purple City was in slumber.Edward entered the living room to meet June."Dad, you are back," she said as Eddy walked in and slowly lowered his waist and sat on the couch opposite her. "You left abruptly, Where have you been?" She queried. "I went to find Tracy," he announced. "Come on Dad. How is that possible? Even the police have still not given any positive reports just yet, " she said."Well, it's quite late now. But trust me, by tomorrow you will hear some good news about her," he said. "I found her myself," he added as his daughter jumped and echoed in excitement. "Really? Where did you find her?"Just as Eddy was about to respond, "Charles and Fiona walked in from the kitchen holding hands and kissing.The two had been in there all the while munching on some cookies. "What the hell is the meaning of this?" Eddy asked when his eyes fell on them."Have you no respect for this house? How dare you, Charles? How dare you?" He fumed. "Look here young

In the midst of the grey and dreary outlook of a gloomy day, Fiona paced about in the garden. She firmly held onto a stick of cigarette with her slender fingers as a puff of smoke escaped her soft lips with each exhale.As she moved her head from left to right looking into the air, she saw how the puff of smoke she released from her lips curled lazily in the atmosphere. There was a distant sound of rolling thunder, and although that signified an approaching storm, Fiona didn't care till she was done smoking her cigarette."David!" She yelled immediately her eyes fell on the favorite Parker chauffeur who appeared from the poolside. "Where are you from?" She asked."And what is that supposed to mean, please? With all due respect, I'm only answerable to the Parkers and not you. So I don't think where I've been should be your concern," David said softly."Well the last time I checked, I'm also a Parker now. Which means I wield equal power just as any other Parker. So, before you start

The rains of the previous day could not influence the sun much.One would have thought that after a heavy downpour, the sun would shine with some level of intensity. But it was the opposite.The somber nature of the day gave Edward a reason to go golfing.Adorned in a white T-shirt tucked in over blue jeans, he wore a blue cap to match coupled with a neatly polished black shoe.Eddy stood firmly on the golf course in the backyard holding on to his favourite driver tightly and carefully.Along one edge of the track was a cluster of golf balls, and each one of them had the initial 'P' boldly stamped on it to represent the name Parker. Besides the balls was a golf bag displaying a great number of clubs.Eddy had not played golf in a long time and wondered whether he still had it in him."I can do this," he said in his head and set up a ball on a tee, eager for a great drive. But just when he was about to confirm whether he still had his golf skill intact, Charles shouted from a distance

The past couple of days had seen little to no sunshine. And even in BlueVille, the weather was no different. The birds hid in their nests while the trees kept dancing in the direction of the wind. The somber calmness of the town was one that could induce laziness and force one to stay in bed all day.But Louisa would not give in to such temptation. As early as ten in the morning she was already at Tracy's to finish the interior design she had started."My dear, do you need something?" Mrs Briggs asked Louisa who was fixing the curtain designs along the windows of Tracy's living room.Earlier, Louisa had a tour of the apartment and concluded that it was more spacious than hers. The three-bedroom apartment was painted in plain white colours. And In every corner of the house was a vase containing bright flowers. Tracy had made a copy of the photo of her parents in her locket and had enlarged it into a big picture frame.She had instructed Louisa to fix it on the wall exactly oppos

"You may come in," Charles, whose head was buried in some documents, said after he heard a knock on his office door.Spread on his desk were documents with the title 'Latest signee' on top of them."Gracious afternoon," a feminine voice greeted. "Good afternoon," he responded without lifting his head to see who was in his office."Yes, what can I do for you?" He asked with his head still submerged in the documents."Latest signee, I see," the female voice said upon catching a glimpse of what was so important to Charles that he would not lift his head to see who was in his office. Not even for a second."Yes. We just signed five new clients after losing four clients some weeks ago. Is this not wonderful?" He remarked and flipped the pages of one of the documents."This very client right here has signed a five-year contract with us. He is embarking on a charitable project and needs help with the distribution of a million solar panels to some rural areas," he informed her after reading
