The eyes don't lie
In a study, a boy with a strange, well distinct hair colour, with red rimmed eyes sat on a chair a little bit too tall for him, eyes trained on the door.Terror and something else gripped his piercing green eyes and he looked like he could barely breath. His little hands gripped the khaki shorts he had on. The boy flinched when the door to the study opened gripping his shorts tighter.A gorgeous woman in a white dress walked up to him her heels clicking with a smile plastered on her face, never taking her eyes off him." My boyy..." she drawled, stopping close to him as she lowered her face to meet the little boy."Oh my boy you must wonder what it is I have in store for you today. " Her manicured sharp fingers trailing down his cheeks.He trembled beneath her touch. She squeezed his jaws hard, the smile leaving her face. "How many times have I told you not to step outside this house, hmm?"Tears spilled out of his eyes, " mother I'm sor-"" Don't call me mother," she cut him off be

The meeting
Cassiel typed away furiously on his laptop, going through several papers littered on his desk, it was quite late and every other person had closed besides him and his assistant.A knock came upon the door and someone opened and walked in." Sir, you might want to see this ." He dropped a pile of documents on the table and took the one at the top and showed him. Cassiel's face hardened when he saw what was written on it. The front page of the document read the loan agreement." Darcy call this number," he said, pushing his laptop to Darcy and taking the document and drinking in its content.He spent another one hour in the office before he left the office, his assistant leaving thirty minutes before him because he had instructed him to go. He left the building and into his car and drove home.Everyone was asleep, he went into his room and crashed on his bed straight away and slept off.The next morning.He woke up with a startle. He had overslept a bit. He hurried into the bathroom and

The showdown
Darcy was pacing in the office when Cassiel entered inside." Sir you're here finally everyone is already in the conference room. They've been waiting for a while, I was beginning to get worried." He said all in one breath.Cassiel let out a faint smile. " Do you have the document? " he asked." Yes sir it here," he raised his briefcase up. But he looked confused and looked over Cassiel like he was expecting some other person." Uh sir, what about the chairman? " he asked as he began walking forward." The chairman won't be making it to the meeting today."Darcy stumbled as he got to the door steadying himself with the handle as he turned to look at Cassiel bewildered." You know what that means, I'll be attending the meeting in place of him, let's go."The conference room was buzzing with conversations when Cassiel walked in, Darcy trailing behind him. Everyone looks up but when they see it's just him they go back to their conversation.Cassiel walks to the head of the table." Good

The Discovery
Shaky pale hands grabbed a small container on the drawer and popped it open and took two pills and put it into his mouth before taking water.Cassiel let out a shaky breath as he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead. He had overworked himself these past few days because of the contract he couldn't let anything go wrong. He had fainted in the office before Darcy had threatened him to take the day off. That's why he was at home.He sat down on the chair and opened his laptop and went into a site. His fingers dancing across the keyboard then he took a pause and took his glass case and wore his glasses, the silver frame glinting from the reflection of his laptop screen. Then he resumed typing, windows bloomed across the screen each replacing the last before it could be fully read. Then streams of green characters raced down the terminal, punctuated by the status bar that filled and disappeared almost instantly. Then a warning flashed across the screen.Authentication required.

Sariah
" O my gosh your outfit is so beautiful " A girl with black hair said." Oh common you know I'm the real beauty here Julie." Sariah puffed up her chest and dramatically flinged her hair to the side." Guys Christian finally agreed to be with me." She thrusted the phone to their faces.They shot her a look." Don't tell me you asked him out yourself Emma." Sariah shot her a disapproving look." Anyways that isn't why we are here, we are going on a shopping spree, let's go girls. " Sariah said.The soft melody of classical music greeted them as they stepped into the luxury boutique, designer handbags lined up in the shelves while the rows of dresses shimmered beneath the crystal chandler .Sariah strolled through the store with effortless confidence, Julie and Emma trailing behind her." Oh, this one is so pretty, isn't she pretty guys ," Julie exclaimed, lifting a cream coloured handbag and turning to them. " I'm most definitely getting it."" And I'm taking these heels," Emma said,

Chapter 6
Ugh what an awful Saturday morning." Cassiel said, holding his pounding head as he stirred awake from his bed.He would have gone to work this morning but Darcy would probably threaten him and call Sariah, and that was the last thing he wanted right now. He knew his father was back from the flurry of footsteps he heard and because the classical music that blasted through the house, that was his father's signature style.He grimaced, and went to the bathroom to have his bath, memories flashing through his head as a result of the blaring music.The water trickled down his back, highlighting the twisted scars on his back. The look in his eyes was distant.It was his eighteenth birthday and he had taken Sariah out, well sneaked out to a stall in the suburbs. What happened after they found them was nothing particularly new to him just a bit... more intense." To the study!" His father said.His body went rigid. " I won't let you touch him!" Sariah stood at the top of the stairs, she had

Some with the hope of securing investors and others to negotiate contracts and others to announce partnerships.The morning was dedicated to formal representations. One after the other company representatives took the stage to introduce new projects, discuss market trends and talk about many other things. Once the final representation ended , guests were invited to another hall prepared for networking. The spacious room was arranged with round tables scattered across the polished floor, leaving room for people to move around freely. A buffet occupied one side of the hall while waiters circulated with trays of champagne, wine, cocktails, and other things. Soft music played in the background as conversations gradually replaced the formal atmosphere of the conference.Several people introduce

The Unknown
Cassiel sat in his office leaning against the chair before he leaned forward, hands hovering over the laptop, he had his glasses on, there was a clean black interface, a few encrypted lines and a single transfer confirmation waiting to be approved.His eyes moved over the details on the screen.Recipient : Saint Mercy General Hospital.Amount: $50,000,000.00Purpose : Unrestricted Medical use.Status : Pending approval.His fingers moved across the keyboard, entering the final authorization code, a few seconds later the screen changed.Status: Successful.He picked up his phone and called someone." Have it sent before tomorrow morning." He said." Yes sir." And the line went dead.By morning, the hospital board would be in shock. The director would be staring at the transfer confirmation, the finance team would be checking the account twice and everyone would be left wondering which benefactor had just saved the institution.By noon he called Darcy through the intercom in his offi

The silver haired man
" Meow," the cat purred softly, turning and laying on its back as Cassiel rubbed the cat. Outside the store there was a huge sign that read "Mickelo's Cat Cafe." He was rubbing a big white cat, it reminded him of the cat he had when he was still at the orphanage. It was white like this one but it was a little bit more dirty compared to this one that was properly taken care of. It had died as a result of food poisoning.Brrr!His phone rang from his pocket, he straightened up and picked it. "Yes Darcy?""There has been an issue that escalated with the branch at City S.""Is it still the same issue as last time? Call the director and get him to fix it.""It's slightly different to before but it's partly as a result of the previous problem,your immediate attention is needed sir.""...Okay then." He began walking towards the door. And sighted someone at the other end, it was a lady, she looked a bit familiar to him, she had an orange cat in her arms and was running her hands through its
