Some of these men were sounded with strippers, twerking on men'
THE FUEL BEFORE THE FIRE
“Who the heck are you?" A gruffy voice like a rusted blade came behind Kane.The sterile air shifted.Kane stepped to the side gently and looked at the back to see Badmus kenneth, the ex-boss, standing behind him, his suit wrinkled and loose, his cufflinks out of place. His eyes were bloodshot and droopy— it wasn't due to anger but as an effect of the alcohol. The stench polluted the small air between them, a mix of beer, blunt and sweat. One hand jammed in his pocket while the other hand balance against the doorframe, grappling to keep his posture steady.Kane wasn't surprised to see him there. He stared at him expressionlessly then a light taunting smirk curled the corner of his lips seeing his disheveled appearance.Juliana on the other hand was taken aback. Not only had Badmus come at an unusual hour but also his appearance was clumsy and detestable— it wasn't welcoming. Her cheek flushed red, burning with embarrassment. What made it worse for her was Kane's presence.Suddenly, B
RUSTED BUT WORTHY
Juliana paused and looked down at her finger. The ordinary ring which Kane used to propose to her years ago was still there. No glitters. No sclints. Just subtle silver foil. “I want that back.” Kane said, his voice calm but firm. His expression was cold and unreadable.Juliana froze. Kane had come all the way at that dead hour of the night to collect an ordinary ring? She didn't remember it, she could have pulled the ring and tossed it in the trash.Though Kane bought the ring for just $400 but it wasn't about the cost. What made the ring worthy was the effort, the sweats that dropped from his body before he could buy it. He could afford millions of the same ring now and even buy one that is far more better than it. But someone like Juliana don't deserve his efforts. Not anymore.A cruel amusing smile split Juliana's face before she burst into a wave of laughter, her cheek flushing red as the laughter rang with no end in sight, bouncing off the wall.A forgotten tears slipped fro
UNEXPECTED VISIT
Her heart missed several beats for a fleeting moment. Her jaw parted slightly, eyes wide with surprise. The name; 'Kane' looped in her head like it was a haunting ghost. “What's he doing here at this time of the night? He lost way?” she wondered, a mix of surprise and confusion masking her face. She never expected he could be one ringing her door bell. Before she knew it. She was already opening the door as though she was already yearning for his presence. The door handle was cold on her grip, her heart slamming the wall of her chest. Her emotions warred, hesitation and pride battling with curiosity. After a moment of grappling with her emotions, she gently pulled back the door handle and the door gave way and there he stood. The man he called worthless. Kane Everest. He clad a plain white designer shirt that has the emblem of Luis Vuitton on it. His slacks were blacks, matching the design on the shirt in a way that made him look impressive. He looks different. His presence wa
MIND WAR
Juliana forced herself to stand but her knees buckled under the heavy weight of her torso. Her breath was shallow and heavy. Her mascara was a mask of smeared damp clay. She sauntered across the room which looked really messy— papers littering over the floor, clothes— Kane clothes sprawling over the floor like garbage. She collapsed onto the bed, the loan grant still clutched in her hand like it was a lifeline. A clue to dig about her Ex-husband who she never cared about in the past. Did she care now? She stared into the paper for the umpteenth time. The prints blurred in her visions. “What...what did he use all that money for?" Her mind reeled, a carousel of chaos and possibilities. In the next seconds, her posture stiffened, her confusion shifting into determination. “I must find out about him. Everything.” She said, her grip tightening on the paper. She trudged into the bathroom, her naked body leaned against the cold tiled wall, her chin lifted as the water poured down to her f
THE WEIGHT OF HIS ABSENCE
****** Badmus wasn't picking up her calls— Sixteen missed calls, yet he didn't return any of her calls right from the time she left the bank. She desperately needed to find out something about her Ex-husband. Had Kane built an asset behind her back during their three years of marriage?! He stumbled into her apartment and tossed her designer bag on the sofa. She strutted into her bedroom, her heels clicking sharply against the marble— The same bedroom she'd once shared with Kane. She stood in the centre of the room scanning everywhere, her arms balanced on her waist. The room felt empty and void. At that moment, the silence shattered loudly like glasses clattering on steel— she felt Kane's absence. Loneliness clawed her heart as the feeling of kane's absence struck her soul. Memories of the sweet and bitter moment in their marriage flooded back in waves. The night he would come home with a carton of pizza and they shared it with kisses. The unforgettable moment he would stay up late
