Mother's pain

In the affluent neighborhood of North Côté hill, London, the elegant of Victorian architecture stood sting and strictly majestic. Mr. Hampton's office, a well-respected lawyer in his area, was nestled in one of these splendid buildings which spoke volumes about his achievement and polished reputation. Yet, on that day, the serene and quiet atmosphere has been shattered, as Ryan's mother leapt into the room with an air of indignation, her face flushed and her eyes ablaze. She's not the usual mother Mr. Hampton got to know over the years —she looked like a different person, and she wasn't concealing the anger visible on her face either. “Mr Hampton, did you or did you not inform me every single detail of my son's decision?” She blurted out before the lawyer could stand and acknowledged her presence. For a moment, Mr. Hampton seemed to be taken aback by her sudden outburst, before he adjusts his leather bond armchair and calmly replied with an offer instead. “I see you are in no goo

A day to remember

With the smell of breakfast lingering in the house, Ciara was sitting lazily on the sofa going through her social media. The sun shone through the blind, casting a warm glow around the living room. Dwayne, her older brother, peered over her shoulder with an amused grin at the seemingly ended parade of pictures of cats and others that passed by the small screen.“Hey, Ciara.” Dwayne called suddenly —almost at the verge of jolting her off her seat, his voice holding a hint of mischief. “How about we go out for a treat today?”Ciara glanced up from her phone, her eyebrows were raised with surprised. “Really?” She asked, excitement creeping into her voice as she instinctively pocketed her phone.Dwayne nods his head. “Yep, I have been thinking, we haven't spent any proper time together in ages. Remember when we were kids, we used to go out on every adventure together and do almost everything together?” He cited with a daydreaming look on his face.Ciara beamed at the memory, a warm and fu

Hidden truth

Dwayne smirked momentarily before a look of exasperation clouded his normal jovial features. As if the years had not been normally tumultuous enough, it seemed like 2020. The doctor's words rumbled around his mind, causing a twisting of sensation to grip deep within each of his stomach. Pregnant! The doctor has said that his sister, Ciara, was pregnant. Dwayne could scarcely believe his ear, feeling certain that some cruel joke was being played on him. If there is one thing he should doubt about Ciara, it was that she should find herself in a midst of an unplanned pregnancy. Throughout their childhood and the years wasted apart, he had never seen her with anything even remotely resembling a boyfriend. Consequently, news of her impending motherhood sent him a mixture of anger and disbelief bubbling to the surface, leaving Dwayne no choice than to confront her sister immediately. “Rumor had it that one needs a man to have fallen pregnant, Ciara.” He told her, sarcasm laced in his vo

Where it all began

It was an uncanny evening in the west London. The sky bore a peculiar shade of orange dusk as the sun begun to shone, casting a warm,, soft glow towards the windowpanes of Ciara's cozy part of the penthouse in the heart of the city. It was a bitter-sweet sight. The beauty of the sunset illuminated the edges of her apartment, reminding her of all the dreams and aspirations she had bought with her to the bustling metropolis.Ciara stood by the window, gently stroking her growing belly as her thoughts swirled around the unborn child who lay peacefully in her womb. Although she is still in her early stage of pregnancy, she knew that the news could come to all as shock. She knew how much bewildered her parents would have been, if only they were alive, especially her mother, who believed Ciara would have put her marriage to rest with a finality that was both heartbreaking and empowering.Ciara's heart ached with each thought of Ryan, a man she had married in a whirlwind romance that had le

Rain in the cloud

Dusk settled upon the bustling city, casting a veil of tranquility over the chaos of life. Ryan was in his luxurious office on the top floor of an impressive skyscraper, poring over a stark of papers. He had been tirelessly working on the high stake project for months now, but he couldn't shake the gnawing feeling that something was amiss.Consternation cause through him, leaving him with a perpetual and inexplicable sense of incompetence that refuses to be suppressed —as the feeling seems to be growing more intense with in him.Just as the powerful sun pours its golden radiance over the horizon in the morning, Ryan would pour his time and energy into work. The company he had long nurtured bore testament to his dedication as it bloomed like roses on gull bloom.Yet despite having shouldered a ceaseless cacophony of responsibilities, Ryan's heart remained in total disarray. The void within him was hungrily engulfing him in all consuming darkness, throwing him into nothing but total con

Secret craving

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into month, as Ryan found himself entangled into the labyrinth of concussion. With no brief interval of relief in sight, his heartache grew in intensity, distressed etched into every line in his weary face. The dark cloud of incompleteness loomed, shattering every semblance of peace.Within the walls of his marital home, serenity remained elusive as well. Anne couldn't help but notice how gloomy Ryan had become in the past few weeks, even as Ryan tried hard to conceal his emotion. Severally, she tried talking it out with him, but he was never ready to spill the beans.“You shouldn't worry yourself much, my love.” He always tells her in reply, trying to wave the topic off —with the fear of how she would react if she ever finds out. “I'm only stressed due to excess work, I'll be fine in no time.”The once burning love between him and Anne had cooled to barely smoldering ember. The once unbreakable bind fraying with each passing moment, as Ryan's thought

Failed quest

Seeing the dept of her son's anguish tore at Ryan's mother's heartstrings, as she sought to mend the tattered remain of their family.

Thinking it through, part of it all was Ciara's fault, she shouldn't have left, even with how Ryan threatened her with the divorce papers.On second thought, Ciara must have had her concrete reasons for leaving without traces, disappearing into the dark nigh

I will find her and bring her back

Mrs. Lehman, instead of going home, decided it will be best if she first dropped by at her son's office. She should tell him the outcome of her visit at Dr. Williams' hospital. It would be better if she let him know about it at this early time, since there is no point in hiding it from him. She informed her driver to drive her to her son's office instead of driving her home that she had already told him in the first place. The obedient driver, rather than asking questions, did as he was told and in a twinkle of eyes, they were already heading to Ryan's company. Mrs. Lehman's heart was full of pains, pure pains for her son, whose happiness lies in a woman he had already divorced with. Ciara seems to be the joy and happiness he needs, but was too blind for him to notice before. She wonders what her son would feel when she tells her about the outcome of the visit. She needs no prophecy to prophesied to her that he would be heartbroken and shattered too, but that does not give her the

Nagging wife

The silence that enveloped them was deafening as the tension was rising quickly. Anne was staring defiantly at her husband, who was not ready to give her whatever thing she had asked him for —precisely, a reply.The silent treatment she got from him instead of a reply annoyed her to the core, her anger was ready to burst as it surged through her veins —why would he keep mute instead of a reply, this was the vexed question she asked herself?She was forced to ask him how he dared to ignore her question, but she holds herself. However, she was unable to hold it for long, at last, she speaks, breaking the long and tensed silence that suddenly envelop them.“Why aren't you saying anything, Ryan?” Anne hissed out in frustration. Her voice was slowly rising to its peak as it was laced with demand and as cold as an ice.“Why am I not saying anything?” Ryan forced himself not to let the sarcasm reflect in his tone as he repeated her question, slightly irritated by it. “Is that even supposed t

Things fall apart

Anne hissed out loudly, pissed off that Ryan would not reply to her question. “Tell me, Ryan. The reason she suddenly showed up was for you to hand over the company back to her —because you failed her and did not follow in her plan accordingly? Is that her reason for the visit?”Ryan could tell how greatly disturbed she was at her own makeup stories and theory as she shook his shoulders so violently, it was visibly reflecting on her silence. Even though he did not know the reason she had suddenly flared up, he felt like there was more to it, and he needed to know whatever it was.“And what if that was the reason behind her visit? To make me hand back the company to her?” Ryan threw the question at her with a plain expression on his face, patiently anticipating the kind of reaction she would omit.Her face crumpled down into a deep frown as well as glaring daggers at Ryan. “She dare not come up with such an idea, Ryan.” She said with a snort, her voice as hard as steel —that Ryan could
