Deloise was in character. She'd been nervous of the watchful eyes of Daniel Greenwood and the importance of this very audition, and fumbled twice as a result of fear, which earned her a solid rebuke from Daniel, and a last chance of redemption coupled with a pep talk from him to give it her best shot.Knowing it was her last shot, Deloise recounted her journey and how she'd discovered her passion for creative arts, its consequences and costs so far. She walked all the way to this moment in order to do what she loved and there was no way in hell she was going to leave a failure. She was far too gone to fail. Under the watchful eyes of the men thrio, Deloise slumped to the floor. Her face contorted to one with immense pain, and the spectators felt the mood of the room change.In character, she crawled painfully to the mannequin situated meters away from her. In the scene she was to deliver, she had just found her son, bloodied on the floor, and killed by poison administered by her hus

Deloise was in her Royal Arts dorm room. Since her arrival the previous day, she was occupied with unpacking and getting her schedule ready. For the first time in a while she was finally getting free time to properly settle in before classes commenced.Layla - who was tired from her seven o'clock class- dozed off the moment she returned. She could tell that her roomate wasn't a morning person.Nevertheless, Deloise was happy to finally get settled inside her room and got busy on her phone, going through the internet, when she came across a picture of a popular mother and daughter duo in the industry.For a while, she analyzed the picture with a ghost smile. How great would it be if she had her mother with her on this journey? Deloise wondered if a time would come when she got the support of her mother.As though the earth heard her thoughts, her phone broke out in a loud ring, and to her utmost surprise, it was her mother!How on earth she decided to call at that point in time was a t

Esther was inside her kitchen. Opening up cupboards and taking note of the provision she needed. She opened the fridge and its emptiness was glaring, including the need to visit the supermarket.She was swamped with a lot of orders in recent times and most times, got too busy to cook anything and ordered take out instead. The dreaded visit to the provision store was something she had to do as it ate deep into her healthy eating habits.While she mentally noted the important items she needed, she prepared to take on the darned job alone, as Karen was on a trip.These days, during their conversations, all she could hear was about how much love, care and attention she was getting from her husband. When Esther heard the beautiful stories of Karen and her husband - whom she'd never seen despite her being friends with Karen for a long time, she was brought back to the point when she had someone who cared for her. Someone who she could confidently call hers.Sometimes, she wondered if she w

Aaron was in his apartment on campus, packing a bag when Tony walked into his room." Hey man! Where are you off to? "He plummeted himself on the made bed in the center of Aaron's room." None of your fucking business."Aaron continued packing his bag, nonchalant to Tony's presence. He didn't sleep through the night, and spent the whole time thinking about the deal.As a result, he was crankier than usual." What crawled and died up your ass? Don't tell me you're still touchy about yesterday. "At the mention of the day before, Aaron's jaws clenched." Shut up and tell me why you are here. I don't have all day." He said with gritted teeth." Bullshit. You're cranky. Something's up.""Yeah, something's up, I'm two seconds from decking the shit out of you." Aaron announced in a warning tone."Easy, Tiger. I heard a little gossip and I figured you'd be in the best place to tell. " Tony stood up and walked towards the window mane, not the least bit threatened by his friend."News has it

Aaron stood dumbfounded. His shirt was ruined and his mood soured. He felt angered at himself for letting her have the last words. At the back of his mind, he knew that he wasn't the most innocent in the situation but he felt angry nonetheless.No one, not one person had the right to speak to him like that. Pretty or not. He was going to teach her a lesson. Something to remember him by." What's going on in that smart head of yours boy? "The familiar voice of Mr Austin jerked him out of his reverie." Are you sweating or something? Did you run all the way here?" He asked, looking at the drenched chest with his hands in his pockets." I ran into a situation." He winced, "long story short, I have to talk to you."" Okay? Let's head on to the office then."Aaron shook his head at the request before speaking." There's a lot of people there. It's about the project."" Whatever it is, we can always talk about it later. I'm late for a meeting. "With that, Mr Austin led the way to his offi
