Hannah walked into her room, exhausted after a stressful day outside of her house. She has spent her day at the office and, secondly, spent the rest of the day looking for the mysterious man who helped her make the biggest decision ever, but all to no avail.She sighed softly as she went into the bathroom to have a bath, after which she lay on her bed, looking through her schedule for the next day. Suddenly, she heard a knock on her door. She raised her head up. “Come in.” She said.Just as the door creaked open, her stepmother stepped into Claire’s room. Expression changed, she couldn’t tell why the elderly woman was in her room but she knew it was for no good reason.“What do you want?” She asked.Claire smiled, before replying flatly. “Is that how to welcome me into your room?” She said with her voice barely above a whisper.“You should just go straight to the point,” Hannah scoffed; the presence of her stepmother was irritating her. Claire sighed softly. “I didn’t come here to

Austin averted his gaze at the couple walking towards himShe was stunning, tall, chocolate-skinned with striking eyes, a cascade of dark curls spilling over her shoulders with flawless makeup and a designer bag, and the man wore a well-fitted suit, which showed he was from a wealthy background.Austin knew the woman, she was Lauren, his college crush. Back then, in college, Austin had a crush on her. She was among the beauty queens in college, but she turned him down because she wanted something more; she was known for flirting and always hooking up with guys. Many of the guys were wealthy, and they always foot her bills after she had done her part of their bargains.“I almost didn’t recognise you, Austin.” She said, with her lips curled into a mocking tone. “You look broke; I didn’t know the best student in our faculty would ever be seen putting on cheat clothes. That’s a shame,”Austin tilted his head slightly, with an unpredictable expression. “What were you expecting?” He asked.

Michael’s voice was low but sharp; his face had turned red from the ugly scene. “What did you just say.” He asked.“You hid it from me, but you didn’t ask how I got to find out. David told me, if you hadn’t been impotent I wouldn’t have cheated on you with another man. I wanted a child, a family. You couldn’t give me that.”The word hit him hard like a bullet, Michael felt like she was using it against him. “You are blaming me, for cheating on me and getting pregnant for your lovers and my brother.” He roared furiously.His hand rosed without hesitation, but in a flash of unchecked rage, the sound of the slap echoed through the hallway like thunder.Lauren’s head snapped to the side, and she crumpled like a paper doll. One hand instinctively cradled her belly as she hit the cold tile floor.The nurse who stood at the end of the hallway screamed. The doctor at the other side of the room dropped his clipboard and rushed towards her.Lauren’s writhing on the ground, face pale, lips trem

David gritted his teeth and warned. “You should stay away from this, it is our family business and not yours.” Austin glared at him coldly, “A family business when you are planning on killing your brother? This is no family business; you should have thought about it before bringing this man over to my place.” He continued, “He is my patient, and whoever messes with him has me to deal with. So, I will suggest you go away and let him be.”“Stop with the lectures, do we look like kids to you? You call this a place, it smells of herbs. If you don’t stay away, I will make sure I don’t only break your ribs, but I will bring you here to the ground.” He yelled angrily.Does he think he could do that? Is he aware of who was standing before him?Austin shook his head, and let out a small laugh. “I am not scared of your threats that’s if you can even step closer to the entrance.” “Austin, I will handle this. Don’t get yourself involved; David is dangerous and can do the unthinkable. You have

Austin hurriedly replied, “Inside, I have something important I am looking for; since I can’t find it outside, I believe it will be in the VIP section.” The man rolled his eyes at him from head to toe, “Do you have a membership card?” He asked.Austin paused, he didn’t know about the membership to get into the other side of the store. “No, I don’t. How can I get one.” He asked.The man scoffed, “You can’t get any, you will need a referral from someone who already has the card before you can become a member.” Austin frowned, he wasn’t expecting much. He looked around for a moment then back to the bouncer. “Can I talk to the manager, it’s urgent.” “Why, you want to beg your way inside.” He shook his head. “You should go away if you don’t have a membership card. Besides, even if the card is available, you can’t afford it.” He said, staring at Austin in contempt.Austin’s jaw tightened but they maintained a calm demeanour. “Do you have to judge me by my appearance, is that how you beha
