"Holy hell! Ariel this isn't time for some of your silly pranks."
"Am serious Daniella, one hundred percent serious."
"Okay!So what's the nature of the job?"
"Well, l don't know, for some reasons the person wants it undisclosed, but the person promised to take you back to college and take responsibility for all your expenses."
"How did this person knew l dropped out of college?"
"I don't know, the person l met, he said he was working for someone that his boss will like to see you in person."
"This is wierd! How did they knew l dropped out of college and why is the nature of the job undisclosed?"
"You said he will take responsibility for all my expenses can it include my mother's fees?"
"Why not go try it out, if it doesn't suit you then leave."
"Here is the address, if you are interested" she said and gave me a piece of paper.
"Thanks Ariel."
"You don't have to thank me yet l just hope is a clean job."
"At this point l can say am desperate, l will do anything to save my mother."
"While you are at it please think before you act don't make a mistake you will regret later."
"Consider it as a little piece of advice" she said and l nod.
"I will come see you later, l have to run some errands for my mother."
"Alright!
Ariel is my best friend, we are like sisters. We attended the same college and she is currently in college.
She v'e always been there for me in times of need.
She is the second child of a family of five.
Two boys and a girl.
She is the only female child.
I arranged my mother's food in a flask.
I took my bath and brushed my teeth.
I trekked to the hospital.
After the long walk l arrived the hospital.
I walked faster in order to get to mom quickly.
On getting there, my mother wasn't there.
No way! No f*****g way!
No wait don't tell me they kept to there word, where is my mother?
I ran quickly to the doctor's office.
On getting there, the door was locked.
I knocked gently my mind in coarse.
"Come in" he said.
I rushed in.
"Doctor where is my mother?" I asked in panick.
"Calm down Daniella."
"Don't tell me to f*****g calm down l told you l was gonna get the goddamn money" l yelled at him.
"Miss Daniella your mother was transferred to the VIP section and she is receiving proper treatment."
"What! How did this happen? I asked clearly surprised.
"Please l beg you take her back to the former ward, why would you take her to the VIP section? Where will l get the money to pay for it?"
"Miss Daniella the bills have been taking care of and your mother is undergoing proper treatment."
"Who took care of the bills?"
The door creaked open and my mouth hanged open at the person am seeing in front of me
Is it him or it's just a dream.
"It's my pleasure to meet you Daniella Light wood am Wyatt Braxton."
Thank you for saving my brother.
I woke up late as usual.
I rushed to the bathroom and brushed my washed my hair and prepared a warm bath.
Am happy
Am happy
Am happy l sang while bathing.
Am happy about three things.
Firstly,mom is now in a good state and is given the best treatment.
Secondly, l met Wyatt Braxton in person.
Thirdly, today l will be going for the job Ariel talked about.
Wyatt told me that Connor was receiving treatment that he sent him over.
I came outta the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body.
s**t! This house is damn lonely.
I applied lotion to my skin.
Yesterday was the best day of my life.
Seeing mom being properly treated is giving me a lot of happiness.
Yesterday I got to realize l can't remain this way l need to work hard and become a successful person.
I need to go back to college.
I put on a blue sleeveless jumpsuit and packed my hair in a bun.
I applied lip gloss.
I put on a black sandals and with a black purse to match.
I stare at the business card Wyatt gave me, he told me to call him anytime l need anything.
I will have to throw it away.
As tempting as it is, l don't want to have anything to do with those rich folks.
Am grateful for what he did but l don't want to be anywhere near them.
We are from different worlds.
I can't wait to tell Ariel the good news about my mother.
I took the address that Ariel gave to me.
I have to get this job.
I need to go back to college.
I want to be successful.
I don't have anyone to depend on anymore l have to depend on myself.
I took a second look at the address.
This place is where all the successful people in the US lives.
The person must be very rich and influential.
Will they employ a middle class like me?
I can't believe am talking about employment when l don't even know the nature of the job.
How did the person get to know everything about me?
Well l will have to find out.
"Sir! Your mother is here" my PA said.
"Tell her to come in."
The door opened and she walked in with a scrowled face.
"Connor!
"Mother!
"Why are you in the office? Aren't you supposed to be at the hospital receiving treatment?
"Mom please sit am busy" l said and she closed my PC.
"Get up and go with me to the hospital."
"Mom we have a family doctor."
"And he is out of the country, come with me son you have to be strong for me stop being a workaholic."
"I can't go to the hospital, l hate that s**t!"
"I will be receiving treatment at home l promise okay!
"Why are you always the target?
"Doesn't it bother you?
"It's not like you are the only heir."
"Why are they always after my son?"
"We v'e done investigations countless times but found nothing."
"Which only means one thing, the person who is after you is very close to you."
"Mom know what you are driving at."
"Wyatt will never do such a thing."
"Wyatt is not what you think he is mother."
"He is my brother and l know him too well."
"Why are you so careless and softhearted? If you want to be the only heir you have to stop being soft hearted.
"Wyatt pretends to be gentle and kind but l know he is fake, that's not the real him
Open your eyes son."
"Mother please stop it, stop suspecting Wyatt."
"I want you to investigate him"She said.
"What! Mom l can't do that l trust Wyatt he will never do such."
"I can see his pretence has gotten to you.
Don't tell me you are so stupid that you have never one day thought of it.
"Why you are always the target."
"Mom! That's enough you can leave now,l have to leave too, l need to attend to someone important."
"Connor come here! Am still talking."
"Love you mom." I replied.
Wyatt is my brother he can never attempt to murder me.
I got to the address and a wow! escaped my mouth.
This place is beautiful.
I stood at the golden gate.
I touched it and it opened automatically and another wow! escaped my mouth
This place is beautiful, it's perfect.
I stood gaping at the view in front of me.
Why is everywhere this quite.
You are such a fool Daniella l mentally scold myself.
I noticed l was the only one in the building and fear gripped me.
Why am l the only one here?
I ran towards the gate and touched it hoping it will open again but it didn't.
"Why are you running?" I heard a familar voice.
I turned around and our eyes met.
Connor.
"Connor!
"Hi Daniella."
"Hi! I thought you were at the hospital."
I said am too shocked to see him here.
What is he doing here?
"I hate that s**t, l don't go to the hospital" He said.
"How are your wounds?"
"It ve been treated but it still hurts badly."
"Am sorry about that,l think l lost my way l will leave now but first l want to thank you for everything thank you for saving my mother."
"How do you mean?"
"I don't know what you are talking about" he said.
I stared at him confusing.
"You don't remember sending your brother to the hospital."
"What hospital? I don't know what you are talking about."
"You know l have a brother?"
"Yes l met him."
"When and how?" He asked.
Holy hell! Didn't Wyatt said Connor sent him why is Connor asking so many questions did he lost his memory?
"I met your brother at the hospital he paid for my mother's treatment and told me you sent him."
"Oh! He said.
What the hell is oh! I said inwardly.
"Thank you once again" I will leave now.
"Wait! Aren't you here for a job?"
"How did you know about that?"
"Am the person to offer you the job."
"What!
"What job are you going to offer?"
"How did you know l dropped out of college?
"How did you know my best friend?"
