A middle aged woman tapped her feet impatiently on the marbled floor, her brown eyes darted to the clock one more time..
"Mum, I've told you already, that b*tch won't come down anytime soon, after all she doesn't need our help anymore because she now owns a petty restaurant" Vivian, a blonde lady who sat on the cushion filing her nails spoke out scornfully obviously trying to instigate her mum against her step sister ..
"Well who is going to do the house chores? just because she owns a restaurant doesn't make her skip the chores!"
A light footstep was heard descending down the stairs, the mother and daughter duo snapped their head to the direction and in came a beauty!..
A lady came in view, she had a small smile on her heart shaped lips.. Her black sharp orbs pierced through the mother and daughter who were ogling at her, she could already tell what was going on in their mind..
Today was just like any other day when they ask her to do the chores..
Her black long and shiny hair was let loose to cascade down her shoulder..
"And where do you think you're going Arya?" Joyce questioned walking towards her..
Arya pointed to the clock present in the mini living room.. "it's late already, I don't want to keep the city hungry and when did you start caring about my whereabouts stepmom?"
Vivian sprang up to her feet glaring at her step sister.. "no one gives a f*ck about your bloody restaurant.. don't expect me to do the chores for you!"
Arya sighed, she dropped her black purse on the table.. Her lips turned into a mischievous smirk as she tied her hair into a bun..
"You want me to do the cleaning? but what if I don't?!" She fired harshly at the two..
Joyce was taken by surprise, Vivian launched an attack on Arya only to be held back by her mum..
"If you don't do the cleaning, you won't leave this room"
Arya grabbed her purse "I'll like to see who stops me"
Vivian grabbed Arya's arm only to be pushed down by Arya..
"Don't you both ever get tired of creating troubles for me?"
Joyce rushed to her daughter who was pushed heartlessly on the hard ground..
"B*tch! how dare you?! I'll kill you when I get my hands on you!" Vivian cursed out loudly..

Chloe gasped as Arya narrated the incident that took place a while ago at her house.. Chloe was Arya's best friend since childhood so they practically knew everything about each other..
"I can't stand them anymore, they keep making things difficult for me"
Chloe touched Arya's arm and gave it a small squeeze "You know I'm always here for you sweetie.. anyways forget about those nasty people..the city needs the best cook right now"
Arya smiled and nodded to Chloe's words, the only time she felt alive was whenever she cooked and make tasty dishes
"I'll handle things over here, you can go attend to everyone out there"
In a large conference room filled with business men and women talking among themselves and at the same time waiting for the big boss to arrive..
The large double doors was opened by a guard who bowed as a tall figure walked into the room, everyone present stood up to acknowledge the big boss who just arrived..
His black orbs were fixed ahead as he walked in elegantly, his hair was perfectly gelled that not even a strand was out of place..
He took his designated seat at the head of the table..
"Good morning Mr Anderson" The business partners greeted in unison only to receive a nod in reply..
They took their seats and resumed their purpose for holding the meeting..
"Mr Anderson..our business deal was a success and we would like you to...
A buzzing phone interupted the meeting, all eyes fell on Mr Anderson...
He stared down at his phone, he picked it up and raised it to his ear..
"Speak!"
His authoritative voice echoed in the conference room..
The next word he heard made him rise up on his feet abruptly.. "What?!"
He hanged up and walked out of the conference room and never for once looked back..

Kyle got out from his car and hurried into an elementary school.. he came across a lady who he recognized to be little Ray's teacher..
"Mr Anderson, thank goodness you're here.. Ray suddenly disappeared, but we found this note he left behind"
Kyle hissed in anger, he already knew what this was about , he collected the little note and scanned through it..
"Off to find mum"
Sweat broke out on the lady's forehead as she saw Kyle's knuckle tightened into a fist..
'Will he shut down our school?' she questioned herself, her lips quivered as she thought of the things that will befall her if the kid was not found..
