“Queen or Senate? Either of the two, you're a walking miracle.” He said.

Martha, on stepping out of the restroom, turned to see a guy, young looking and handsome, draped in a grey designer suit that catches eyes and leaves an impression. Stones— diamond stones glinted on the suit lapel.

A quick glance at the guy is enough to know that he is rich but something was off about him that made Martha's face twisted into a slight frown. He looked arrogant— A smug smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as though he was born with it. Like the whole of Century 21 belongs to him.

His shoulder tilted lazily against the wall, legs crossed over with practiced arrogance and pride. His arms folded across his chest as though he was deliberately flashing the platinum Phillipe watch below his cufflinks for Martha's to see that he was something big. Someone loud.

Derek Vaughn.

Squinting on him, Martha asked. “Do I know you, please?” She stared at him, processing her thoughts to know if he'd ever seen hi

  • KING AND THRONE

    Elijah eased the BMW into the designated parking lot of Cityview Hall, the most popular shopping mall in the city. He cut the engine and leaned back into the leather seat. Already, Martha's attention had been captured by the towering mirror and steel shopping mall. She stared through the tinted glass window, watching as people moved in and out. As someone who had always wanted to have a big one, she couldn't help but admire the Mall with a smile on her face. Elijah glanced over with a smile. “I see you're still interested in possessing one.” He said quietly. Martha looked at him and smiled. “Of course, Elijah. I love business and business management. I have always loved doing businesses which was why I studied the course in the university.” Elijah nodded gently and leaned forward slightly. Before he could say something, Martha turned to him with a serious but pleasant expression. “I want to appreciate you for what you've done so far. You took us out of that rent and now you got

  • RIDE FOR MOMMA

    Elijah stepped away from the counter to a corner to pick the call from Richard Vaughn while Evelyn proceeded with the Paperwork.“Hello, Mr. Richard. Are the papers ready?"' Elijah asked directly, the phone pressed on his ear.Mr. Richard cleared throat, his voice was sharper than before and he spoke with Elijah with unmistakable absolute respect. Yes, Mr. Langston. The papers are ready but..Ermm..” He stuttered, obviously flustered as he ambled for the most respectable manner to convey his next words.“....Mr. langston, I don't mean to dishonor you but...If you won't mind, my son will be the one to present the Conveyance deed. I won't be able to make it because of something urgent that came up but be rest assured he'll treat you with utmost respect sir.” Elijah nodded curtly. “Alright, there shouldn't be any problem then. Thanks.” Elijah simply said.“It's my pleasure, Mr. Langston.” As Elijah dropped the call, Evelyn walked out with the paperwork.“The paperwork is ready, Sir. We'l

  • WISE AND RICH

    “Have you seen who you're here to visit, Elijah?" Martha asked Elijah impatiently, her expression twisting slightly due to how uncomfortable the gown she wore felt— It felt really out of place for her regardless of the grandiose. She wasn't used to wearing such a body-fitting and resplendent gown but she had to wear it since Elijah wanted it for whatever surprise he has. What was more uncomfortable for her was the stares she was driving from onlookers especially men. Imaginarily, as the smoldering looks lingered on her body, she felt the zippers at the back crawling down, the metallic slider cold against her bare skin as though the gawking eyes from men staring shamelessly was stripping her bare. “God!” She muttered, finger pressed against her temple, her low, almost tired voice giving away her frustration. “I'm sorry, Mum. Just a moment, please.” Elijah who was mid-conversation with Evelyn turned to her slightly with a half yet genuine smile, obviously absorbed by the conversati

  • PAPERS AND SCANDALS

    Just then, a poised woman walked to them, her heels clinking sharply against the marble like dagger on glass. Her eyes were sharp and perceptive, scanning the hall till she caught Derek. She draped a grey suit that fitted her just right. A brown envelope could be seen in her hand. The woman is Richard Vaughn's assistant— Derek's father, who is the CEO of Century 21.She bowed gently before Derek and greeted politely with a practiced smile. She stood straighter.“There you are, Mia. What took you so long? We don't want to annoy Mr. Langston Envoys." Derek smiled faintly, nodding in response.“The CEO is in a virtual meeting with his suppliers. That was what caused the delay, Sir. But he took a short break and had the necessary documents signed.” Mia held out the document to Derek. He collected the envelope and pulled out the papers and read through, nodding his head gently as he grasped the content. At the top of the paper is the heading: “Conveyance deed.” At the bottom, his father
