52****Maurice's POV****Since childhood, my ardent wish has always been to own a software company of my own. This guided me in learning about softwares online, since I was unable to fund the levies for my course in College. Then, my father had wandered to and fro the streets of Esturnburg seeking for customers to purchase his foot wears and hats. The profit made were more or less insufficient, it wasn't worth even half the fees and so I had to begin my work as a chauffeur. The money I gathered within the few months I worked enabled me enroll into a technical school with lesser fees. I was deeply immersed with it as it had always been my passion, and was widely known as the best student in Esturnburg Institute of Technology. Hence, my unrivaled knowledge for that in Mr. Mark's company presently. Within one of the days in the previous week, Mr. Mark had called me into his office. He requested that I embark on the production of a cyber security software solution. This was to be pitche

54****Maurice's POV****Months later, Natalie and I had just visited an art museum and was heading out. We had dropped our car over at a car wash, before arriving with a taxi to the museum. The sculptures, artefacts and paintings were beautiful to behold, and Natalie and I found the painting of a male and female in an official setting, very fanciful. Somehow, it resonated our love. I saw the dreamy way Natalie watched the painting all through. While both tugged in a two piece black joggers, Natalie and I made our way through. Her hands were placed into her pocket. “I think it was a bad idea to leave both cars at the car wash" I suggested. Natalie hushed me instantly, “It's never a bad idea to get your car squeaky clean, Maurice!" “Don't ever think that way..." She warned jestingly. Continuing almost immediately, she gasped in a joke.“What if it had happened that way to make us explore the streets of Esturnburg!"“Let's trek our way through!" She said happily. I noted that view

56****Natalie's POV****Maurice had received all round praises for securing the contract with Richwell Bank & Trust. As I sat for my lunch of Ribeye Steak served alongside with a creamy mashed potatoes, and roasted asparagus at the Rodriguez Cafe. Our new young intern, Jason Davies, exchanged pleasantries with me, holding onto his tray of lunch. He moved forward to where I sat.“I'd love to sit, can I?" He requested. “Sure..." I said lowly, my mouth was full. “Great choice of food for lunch!" he complimented. “I know right?" I said in response, smiling at the young man, who munched his lunch with relish.Jason was eighteen years of age and had proceeded to our company to serve as an intern. ‘He hoped to work as an employee in Venus Group' he had told my father. “Your company's great, miss!" he remarked. “Just two weeks and I'm half way over with learning software development, I can't wait to be a guru!" He said light heartedly, and his young eyes shone with excitement.I took a

58****Maurice's POV****Mr. Mark didn't hide his sad countenance when he got to know I would be leaving Venus Group in a month. That day, he had urged me with fatherly words. “It's painful to miss out from a smart mind like you, but I can't say no"“You need to go on with your dreams, Maurice"“Wish you immense luck!" He had finalized. Just like Mr. Mark had said, I indeed need to chase my dreams and improve my standard of living. I needed more finances. Notwithstanding the fact that my salary was upgraded, and I had gone ahead to change the official car given to me. I had plans of starting my family soon. I had purchased my new car, the Acura TLX in ash, this month, the month of July. However, the love between Natalie and I had blossomed over the months. Prior to Letticia's wedding in January, we were even more drunk in love and now I did see Natalie as my wife. For three days I have been seeing her repeatedly in my dreams, dressed as a bride. ‘Was this a sign?'Still, I needed

60****Maurice's POV****My eyes beholding my glamorous white tuxedo designed in gold hung at the side of my bed, and the blaring voices of Sebastian and my other groom's men in the hallway reminded me of the stark reality. It was my wedding day!.I yawned and stretched, being unable to refrain myself from smiling.‘Why should I?' I was getting married to Natalie Escobar, the woman of my dreams! I had almost given up hope in getting Natalie as mine and here we are today. The soft tap at my door, made me reduce the wideness of my smile by a centimeter. Opening the door, I discovered it was Sebastian. “Wakie... Wakie..." He teased. “Wow! Look who is up now! The latest groom in town!" He continued, clasping my palm in a huge hand shake. “Congratulations, man!" He urged, patting me gently on the shoulder. “Thank you so much, Seb!"“Thanks for everything..." I emphasized. “Everything?" He asked wide eyed, surprised at my statement. “Yes, everything" I continued. “You made sure you
