LIAMI know I'm not supposed to be worried that Cara is all alone at home because of the estate security but I am. I shouldn't have come here. You've never had a problem with Rosa’s mandatory getaway breaks. I don't have a problem with it I just feel it's bad timing that is all.What happens when you have to travel for work related matters?She'll come along. After all, she's my assistant.“Have you been listening to anything I've been saying.?” “Not really, I'm sorry.”“Care to share?” Rosa asks.“Don’t give this a wrong meaning.” “Okay?”“Cara is home alone.”“And? Last I checked, she's an adult.”“Yeah, I am aware. The thing is you know I stay in a lonely estate and you know how big my house is. I’m not so comfortable.”“With how tight the security of the estate is, a fly can't pass by without being noticed. You and I both know that. Any other excuse?”“Rosa, believe me these are not excuses.”“From all you've told me and from our chats, I honestly just want to put this out the

"Thanks for...""It's nothing," Peter says drying the plates while I rinse them."Ok, just get it out already," I say signing. It's so obvious he wants to say something but every time he opens his mouth he shuts it immediately."I don't get.""At least I gave you a chance," I say as I pick up the plate I dropped."Is there any particular reason as to why you don't want to talk about what you do or where you stay?""Yes because people will find it embarrassing. Especially with the grade, I finished with. It's not like they won't eventually find out but till then, I would like to walk around town with my head held high.""It can't be that bad and even if it is, I can help you get a job that comes alongside accommodation in Birmingham that's if you are willing to move to the Uk.”“I’ll keep that in mind.” “Mrs Johnson?”I raise my eyebrow knowing where this is heading. “Yeah? What about her?”“I know they have a booming company which makes me wonder why she would give you a belittling

I didn't know what or how to feel when I saw Liam's father. Heaven knows the lies he fed his son after I left to get the pastry.I clear up my desk and head home.A black hilux suddenly appears in front of my car just as I'm about to drive out. Even if it's late, the multiple street light at every corner and the light from my headlight should tell whoever this is that he is in my way. I honk twice and still no movement. Is this some serial killer kind of move? Wait this can be a ploy set by Liam's father to terminate me. There's no way I can move back because it's a cloggedspace. Am I going to waste away like this? Sweet Lord, I haven't achieved anything. I can't end like this.The door to the hilux opens revealing Liam's dad. History repeats itself except this time around, there's no driver and I'm not walking to the park to clear my head or in need of a break. Why did he take so long to come out. He was probably loading his pistol. Mary mother of Jesus I say as I do the sign of th

“Aren’t you going to kiss daddy before running off to grandma?” “Muah.” She says from a distance and runs off to hug mother. “Now your husband’s back, you’ve forgotten about us.”“When he was with you all throughout yesterday.”“He just stopped by the office for a few minutes or so and went off.”“What do you mean few minutes? He came back home yesterday and said he was with you all day catching up.”“He must have gone to see a friend or something.” “Why would he have to lie about it?”“It’s nothing serious mum.” “You are joking right?”“Mum, let’s not make a fuss about this. You can just ask him about it when he gets back from work. Tell him that the conversation came up and I mentioned he wasn’t with me all throughout yesterday.”“I will. How’s Cara and please tell me you’ve gotten yourself a new assistant?”“I’m still looking out for one.” “Liam!”“I have to hurry off. The guys would be waiting for me. Love you mum.”“Bye.”I park at the reserved spot just beside Justin’s Lambo

“What colour is the sky¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor! You tell me that it's red¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor! Where should I put my shoes¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor! You say put them on your head¡Ay, mi amor! ¡Ay, mi amor!”We both sing along while dancing in a merry-go-round motion. She let go of my hand and starts dancing like a ballerina. Her feet are positioned like that of an expert. I'm more than grateful that I settled for a wand instead of gummy bears.More than halfway into the movie, Laura starts hiccuping.“Laura dear, can you lead me to the kitchen? I want to get water for you.“Daidi says mummy will not be happy if another woman enters her kitchen.”Dumbfounded is an understatement for what I am right now. “Does this mean only mummy enters the kitchen?”“And grandma. I can too.”“Oh, then please get yourself a cup of water sweetheart. You are hiccuping.”I hear a glass-shattering noise from what I assume to be the kitchen. I jog in the direction as fast as I can and see
