2020-10-18 09:09:08The rain poured in torrents making the usual "pit-pat" sound on the window pane. A light suddenly came on flooding the room with it's florescent current while the shadow of two figures could be made out entering the room.
Casting a quick glance around the corridor and seeing no one was in sight,the door was shut quietly and locked.
"Are you sure no one saw you leave the pantry?"
"Yes Lisa. All the servants have been relieved of their duties and dismissed"
"That's perfect" she whispered to herself. "What of Lucas?"
"He's fast asleep my lady, the sleeping pills are definitely working".
"We don't have time to waste.... before anyone becomes suspicious".
Pacing around the room,she took repeated glances at the street silently saying a prayer for the rain to stop. But it seemed that the rain could read her mind and increased the ferocity at which it fell.
"Eline, I can't wait any longer. Each moment seems like we might be discovered soon." She paused in the center of the room. "You know what to do right?"
"Yes miss" she hesitated. "But,what if I get caught?"
"Shut your mouth and be optimistic! Now take the child and leave now. The driver is waiting at the back door"
Just as she was about to leave, she was called back.
"Here, have it" Lisa said handing a cheque to her.
"What's this?"
"That's a cheque of $8 million dollars. I believe that should cover up for your husband's medical bills and other expenses you have. I don't want to see you step your feets in this household again. I would consider that as a token for all the years you've worked here".
Eline's eyes widened in shock; $8 million dollars. That was going to do a whole lot for her family but what was more suprising was the extent Lisa would go to hide the truth. Since she was out of words, all she could do was bow her head before leaving the room.
"Mind you, I'll have my eyes on you. Any day,you try as much as to breathe a word out, I'll kill you". Lisa threatened as she left but Eline heard it well,it sounded like a whisper causing her hair to stand on her neck.
As she was driven out, she had a feeling she was been watched but she dared not look up due to her fear. She didn't know what could drive a human to be this heartless but she quickly shook the feelings out. As far as she had her paycheck in her hands,she didn't care more about them. All that mattered now was her family and her life,the rest was the headache of Lisa's family.

The attitude he got from people t today was a bit different from before; although they were still talking, they did it in hushed tones so he won't hear them."Hello Cedric" two girls greeted as they passed but he ignored them and moved on.He wasn't aiming for popularity, so even though he had decided to stand up for himself, he didn't want anyone to make an intrusion in his space; they might as well start pretending to be nice,

Albert put down the phone on his study table after confirming that the driver was back. He sighed as he reviewed the information he had gotten in his mind. Cedric had decided to start walking home since the driver was late and got ambushed on the way, if not that the driver had arrived on time he would have been seriously injured. The thought of his grandson injured made his heart ache."Send the driver in "he said through the intercom.Soon enough a knock came on the door and the driver walked in. The sweat that broke out on his forehead was an evident sign of his fear."What happened?' he asked without looking up."The car developed a flat tire on the road so I had to fix it, on getting to the school I was told he had left. Few meters away from the school, I saw him ambushed by five boys....... Though he was slight

The P.A crackled and came alive with the voice of the attendant announcing the next flight. Alvin picked his box from the luggage pulley and dragged it towards the exit. The smell of coffee and fresh flowers filled his nose as he breathed them in and smiled, the rosy color returned to his cheeks and memories of his wife immediately filled his mind; he had really missed this place.Before getting to the exit, he made a quick stop at the florist’s shop and picked a bunch of roses for his wife. It was his usual routine and the thought of her waiting for him with smiles made him happier, despite his vast connections and series of bodyguards he always looked forward to his wife picking him from the airport. He soon got to the exit and found his car parked as usual in front of the exit door.‘‘Welcome back Mr. Ramirez’’ Carl, his personal assis

The teacher had just left the class and it had already turned to a market place with students trooping in and out.Picking up his bag, he left the class and walked down the hallway to his locker,on getting there he found a note taped to his locker with the word BASTARD boldly written on it. He could hear the whispers of the people in the Hallway muttering and giggling as he tore the note to pieces."Hey Ced, what was it that was pasted this time on your locker?" Turning back,he saw a petite girl standing behind him with a mocking glint in her eyes.
