Chapter 3 Her confession

  • GOLDEN HIGH SCHOOL*
  • A white limousine drove into the school compound making the other students whisper amongst themselves.
  • 👤The notorious siblings are back.
  • 👤Wow, it's good to be famous.
  • 👤 Look at that flashy limousine.
  • The driver opened the door and Leo stepped out immediately. He was chewing gum as usual, giving him the bad boy vibes.
  • He flung his designer bag pack on his shoulder and adjusted the headphone that's on his neck.
  • Without wasting time he started taking long strides towards the huge school in front of them.
  • " Gosh, he can't couldn't even wait for me." Prudent mumbled as she stepped out of the car.
  • The driver came forward trying to take hold of her bag pack but she stopped him.
  • " It's ok Greg, you should go home" she said with a smile. The driver bowed slightly before he entered the car and drove off.
  • She watched the car till it was out of sight before she started walking towards the school.
  • It was the first day of school after the long holidays. Everything was still the same except the paint on the walls.
  • Prudent stared at the school in amazement as she stood in front of her locker arranging her books.
  • " Hey prudy" Allison said as she leaned on one of the lockers.
  • She was a skinny girl with brown curly hair. She was brown in complexion and had big white eyes. She's popularly known as Ally wally, that's her nickname given to her by the students. She's a prudent best friend; they've been together since junior high.
  • " Hey Ally," Prudent said with a smile. She closed her locker in a loud bang and was about to go to class but was interrupted by three girls. They were known as the BBC ( british broadcasters) girls.
  • " Hey Allison, what's up?" One of the girls whose name is violet said as she flung her hair. She seems to be the leader of the group.
  • " We just resumed and I don't want any trouble. So please leave me alone. I don't have time to mingle with peasants like you!." Prudent said.
  • The girls scoffed that they were getting enraged already. Prudent turned to Allison and held her by wrist.
  • " Let's get to class Ally" she said and they took long strides towards their class.

  • HONEY SALT'S KITCHEN*
  • Asha bowed her head as she was standing in front of her boss. She was sweating profusely despite the air conditioner in her boss's office.
  • She's done for, she already knows she's done for. Her boss calling her to his office when she's working means just one thing.
  • She's been standing since she got to his office and he hasn't said a word. It's more than twenty minutes and she's feeling scared already.
  • " Sir I can ex..."
  • " Do you want to lose your job Asha?" Her boss asked to cut her off. His voice sounded like thunder to her ear.
  • She knew this was the end already. She will have to find somewhere else to work.
  • " Am sorry sir" she uttered, blinking away the tears that threatened to fall.
  • " This is not about you being sorry Asha. This is the third time in a week you are late. You neglect your duties all the time!" He said as he rubbed his temple and continued.
  • " What is Asha? Did something happen at home? Or is there something you are not telling me?"
  • Asha just stared at her boss as the questions kept coming in one after the other. She knew this was the best time to tell him about her being a single mom. After all, she has been working in this restaurant for two years.
  • " Actually sir, I am a single mom," she said, fidgeting.
  • " What?! Are you serious?" He asked. " How old is your child?"
  • " She's four years old sir."
  • " Wow! I never knew. It must be hard on you. Am so sorry" he said as he scratched his head and continued
  • " You can go back to work now. Every Tuesday is your day off"
  • Immediately he said that her eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't believe her ears, she couldn't express the happiness inside of her.
  • " Thank you so much sir, I appreciate it," she said as she bowed.
  • " It's ok, it's the least I can do. You are one of the most hardworking people in this restaurant."
  • " Thank you so much sir. I will get back to work now." She said with a bow before running out of her boss's office.

  • THE LUCAS'S MANSION*
  • A white bugatti veyron drove speedily into the LUCAS'S compound. The driver opened the door revealing a lady dressed in white handless gown.
  • She removed the shade she wore, holding it in her hand she walked towards the huge mansion.
  • Mrs Lucas was in the sitting room going through some articles on her phone. That's what she has been doing lately anyways.
  • She was seated on the couch eating nuts and sipping wine when a maid rushed to her.
  • " Ma'am you have a guest" The maid announced and she stared at the maid with a puzzled expression. She wasn't expecting any guests.
  • " What guest?" She asked nonchalantly as she took a handful of nuts, eating them one by one.
  • " She said I should tell you that it's your son's insurance" The maid said.
  • Mrs Lucas rolled her eyes and sat upright. ' Does she really have to say that?' she thought.
  • " Let her in"
  • The maid left and immediately the young lady walked majestically into the sitting room.
  • " Hello mother" She said with a wave and Mrs Lucas feigned a smile . She got up and walked towards the young lady, she hugged her and caressed her cheek.
  • " How are you doing dear?" She asked and the lady giggled.
  • " I'm a fine aunt." She said, " Do you mind if we sit down and chat?"
  • " Sure, am sorry for keeping you standing"
  • Mrs Lucas held her hand and they both walked over to the chair.
  • Tbc…
