"Ding! Ding!!" The bell rang signifying leisure period. Richard Edward hissed as he stretched his perplexed body. He looked at the wall clock and it was eleven o'clock.
"I still have some files to tackle,so I guess I'll ignore today's leisure" He said to himself while yawning tiredly staring at the piles of files resting on his table. His head were hurting really bad but he had to round up the files.
Richard Edward,a middle class citizen of New York. He had two kids, Ixora Edward his only daughter been his first child and Jerry Edward his only son. His wife Aurora is a business woman who owns a jewelry store. Their family was one of the most envied family, people wished to have such a happy family. Their kids were well trained with good moral behavior which other parents wished for their own children.
Richard removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes before cracking his fingers.
"Today has been such a hectic day" He mumbled replacing a file with another one.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in" he ordered and the door opened. His co-worker Sasha Zic came in. She held a cup of coffee.
"Good day Richard" She said dropping it on the table.
He only nodded his head in response with his eyes still glued to his system. She placed her hands on the table pushing her chest down,freely exposing her flawless cleaves.
"Uhm... aren't you going out to have lunch, it's leisure period" She remained him whining her mouth.
"No I still have some files to tackle" He replied raising up his head and took a sip from the coffee.
"I can help you" She stuttered.
"I never asked for your help or did I?" He asked ceasing his eyebrows. "Please leave my office" He ordered and she rolled her eyes seductively.
"Okay then,but don't hesitate to call me Incase you need my assistance" She stood upright and fling her hair backwards seductively before turning around slowly, cat walking to the door. She turned around to see Richard staring at her disgustingly, she opened the door,winked at him before leaving.
"Jezebel!" He scoffed and continued his work.
Sasha was noting but a pain in his neck,he had never liked her but she keeps forcing her self on him.
Edward's Estate
Ixora came out of her room and walked down the stairs to the sitting room. She looked at her wrist watch,it was past twelve. She wore her pink sneakers before leaving the house.
She went to the garage where she packed her motorcycle,she mounted on it, wore her helmet and ignited the engine and zoomed out of the estate. She was going to pick her little brother from school.
Ixora was seventeen years old and was done with high school while preparing to get an admission into college.
She was a tall, slender girl with long dark hairs which flowed on her flawless skin. She was popular in her estate because of her special skills which she possessed for driving motorcycle. Right from her tender age,she was a lover of motorcycles and her dad got her one when she was in final year in highschool.
She went through driving skills and she learned really fast than expected.
She halted the motorcycle in front of her brother's school. She came down and went inside the school premises, her brother sighted her first.
"Big sis!!" Jerry screamed running towards her and embraced firmly.
"J-boy how was school today?" She asked ruffling his hair.
"School was perfect but I've been longing to go home,I can't wait to play my PS 4" He gushed happily.
"Jerry you and games are similar to five and six. Hope no teacher messed up with my J-boy today" Ixora teased him.
"Not at all"
They got outside and went to an ice cream stand. She bought two cones of vanilla ice cream and they sat under a shade to lick it.
Jakeson's Estate
Silver was still curled up in her bed, sleeping whole fully. Her room was in total mess. Clothes,bags, sneakers, hair pins and so on littered on the floor.
Her mother came into the room and halted. She grazed around the messy room and back to silver. She went closer to her and tapped her.
"Silver are you still on bed like seriously?" Eve her mother wondered.
Silver rolled noisily on the bed and continued sleeping.
"Silver would you get your lazy a$$ out from bed right now" Eve ordered but she pretended not to hear.
Eve left the room and returned with a broom,she was approaching towards silver when she jumped out of bed and landed on the floor.
"Mom!!"
"Come on get back to sleep. What's wrong with you, can't you see the time and you're still on bed for what?" She howled flinging the broom.
"Mom please I need to take some nap to relax my brain,just let me be" She nagged and climbed her bed.
"Why are you so ungrateful,why don't you want to help yourself at least look for a job rather than staying at home sleeping from twilight till dawn. For God's sake you are a full grown girl, I and your dad has tried our best by sending you to college but you proudly rejected the offer simply because you want to attend the most expensive school in New York which you know I and your dad can afford it. Silver change you're hurting me" Eve lamented painfully as tears escaped her eyes. Silver began feeling guilty.
"Mom I'm sorry" She apologized but her mom left the room. She sat down on her bed crying seriously.
She wasn't even proud of her own self and it pierced her heart so much. Her phone beeped beside her,she picked it up and it was a Mail. She opened it and she couldn't believe her eyes. It read:
"CONGRATULATIONS,YOU PASSED THE SCHOLARSHIP EXAMINATION, AUTOMATICALLY YOU'RE A QUALIFIED STUDENT OF CROWNS COLLEGE"
"OMG I can't believe this!!" She jumped out of bed.
