Ron looked at the man in front of him, who had buried his head back in a stack of documents and a sigh escaped his lips. He had become a shadow of his old self since his wife died three years ago. He had now become distant and cold, just like he was before he got married. The day his wife died, it was like a dark cloud had descended over the entire family. He was lost in his own grief, unable to find solace and move forward. The office became tense and morale plummeted. Damian would snap at anyone who annoyed him. Everything had gone back to the way they were before Maya came into their lives. Damian, who wasn't able to stay in the house located in the city moved back to the isolated house his grandfather had built. The house wasn't far away from the bustling city and was surrounded by thick tree and bushes. The child they adopted was sent out to a boarding school in the United Kingdom, where Master Dan lived. The bond between the grandfather and grandson died gradually and it was
It was a recent photo of a woman who had a striking resemblance to his dead wife. She was smiling radiantly and she looked well and alive. Damian blinked several times to make sure he wasn't dreaming or hallucinating. Because he saw his wife, he was there when she was buried and he never left the corpse's side. He saw her lying lifeless in the casket. So who was this woman?Maybe it's because he just had an emotional breakdown or so he thought but reality kept hitting him in the face. Confusion and disbelief flooded Damian's mind. How could this be? Was this a cruel prank or a case of mistaken identity? He couldn't shake off the feeling that it was indeed Maya in the photo.If she wasn't dead then whose funeral did they have? How did she leave the hospital? We're the doctors aware of it? Did they have a hand in this? Why didn't she reach out to any of them these three years? Was she really happy with the life she was living? Had she forgotten about all of them? Questions after quest
Renne took in a deep breath a rubbed her forehead. She looked at the two men in her office. "Like I said earlier, I'm not Maya. I don't even know who she is and I'm confused here. I thought we were going to have a meeting__ you know a business meeting," she said, looking tired all of a sudden. She wasn't really in the mood for all this. "I know you're angry with me. I know you hate me because of all the things I have put you through but you can't pretend you don't know me. Don't you think it's too harsh?" Damian asked, tears pooling up in his eyes as he knelt before the woman he loved. She was now looking at him as if he was stranger, as if they had never met. "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about," she said gently."Of course you do," Damian said raising his voice a little and holding shoulders as the same time. "I'm your husband and you're my wife.What I don't know is why you're pretending but do you know what I've been through for the past three years," Damian aske
"Mommy! Mommy!Mommy!," a tiny voice squealed as Renee walked in the noisy assembly room. She smiled brightly as she saw the owner of the voice running towards her, his whole face lit up with joy and his little feet couldn't move fast enough to reach her. He run towards her, his tiny arms outstretched. Renee couldn't help but chuckle as she lifted the little bundle of joy into her arms. He wrapped his tiny arms around her neck, in the biggest, tightest hug he could manage."You came!" She said excitedly. "Of course I did, I would never miss this for anything," she said, tickling his tummy a bit. She started walking to where the other students and parents were, when a familiar figure blocked her path. "Akle (Uncle) Ace," Dennis grinned, opened his arms wide for the man in front of him to take him."Hey little guy," Ace grinned, running his fingers through Dennis's hair: "Are you excited to perform?" He asked and the little boy nodded enthusiastically. "Ok…so how about this? You go
Maya’s head would snap towards the entrance whenever she heard the door open. Who she was looking for? She had no answer to that. The sound of the bell was just catching her attention.Closing her eyes as the bitter liquor run down her throat, she thought about what she would do after this place. She owed her parents an explanation and she wasn’t going to run away from it.She wasn’t a drinker but she needed this drink to get her mind of that traitor. How could he do this to her? What wrong did she do to deserve this? How has he been keeping this from her for a long time now? She sobbed silently as the images from a hour ago played in her head over and over again. She was taking alcohol to get her mind off it but it wasn’t working. Maybe she just needed more. With that thought in mind, she waved the bar tender over and ordered more bottles.He told her he loved her. He told her he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He promised to make her happy. He promised to always be the
A male silhouette could be seen in the dim lit room. All those standing around him had their head bowed and dared not to look in his eyes.One look from him and pee would be running down your pants."Is she not here?" He asked and the man right in front of him shook his head."You know I hate lateness," he said and the man nodded."I explained everything to her but I don’t know the reason behind her lateness boss,"was the man’s reply."So do something about it," the man who was being addressed as boss said coldly.Just then the door flew open and a woman who looked heavily drunk walked in."Sorry boss we tried to stop her but she...." the guy who run in after her started speaking but he was cut off by the boss."But what? What’s your work out there? You couldn’t even handle a woman, a drunk one to be precise so what shows you can handle someone who means harm?""Oh this is not a washroom?" The woman said running her hands through her messy hair. "I need to use a washroom so bad," she
The whole room was dead silent as they all waited for the volcano to erupt. Seconds passed and the place was as silent as a deaf person’s world. This mysterious woman just broke a rule and the boss is just quite? What spell did she cast on him. They heard her blow the hair off her face loudly only for them to return back to her face. After doing that for a few seconds, their eyes widened in shock as they watched their boss tuck her hair behind her ear."Why don’t you want to leave?"The boss asked with furrowed brows."I’ll never tell,"she said shaking her head.Damian looked at the woman sitting on his laps and he felt intrigued by her. ’Did she actually know who he was? Was she behaving like that because she was drunk? What at all could make her drink so much?’ All these questions and more run through his mind as he stared at her."Where do you live?"Damian asked."Please don’t send me home, dad’s gonna kill me if I go home like this,"she pouted making him chuckle."And...""Boss she
Maya groaned loudly as she rubbed the sleep off her eyes. She blinked several times to adjust to the morning light and hissed in pain due to her headache. "Drinking so much was the worst decision of my life," she mumbled whiles rubbing her forehead. Tilting her head to the left, she saw a glass of water with a note attached to it making her aware suddenly aware of her environment. She looked around the huge bedroom with her heart beating madly against her chest.Did she do something stupid after she was drunk? Whose room was she in? Why was she here? Did she come willingly? She quickly pulled up the sheets and sighed in relief when she saw all her clothes in tact. Her head was spinning badly but she needed to get out of her. Just when she was about to jump off the bed, the glass of water greeted her again.’Maybe the note had a clue’ she thought ripping it from the glass."You drunk so much last so you’re probably having a hangover. Take the aspirin and you’ll feel better. I’ll be joi
