HIS RETURN
Life
I said with a soft and professional tone, as the customer left.
I turned around, analysing the store once again, It has been over two months, The sales are not doing so well for some reason.
Ana Kelsey
*sighs and sits on the chair*
I had to do something, I can't give up, not so soon. I had my family to feed, and I can't lose something so precious.
I was busy with my thoughts, as my phone in my pocket buzzed loudly pulling me back to reality, I quickly pulled it out and a genuine smile played on my face at the caller ID.
Albert Kelsey
Mom, when will you be back?
I froze on the spot, it was late, too late but I was working extra to make more. But, I can't forget my responsibilities, after all I am a mother of a 5 year old boy. My baby.
Ana Kelsey
Sleep, Honey. I will be back soon.
Albert Kelsey
No, Come over... please
Albert Kelsey
Mom...I miss you..so much.
Tears welled up in my eyes at his word, it was hard for him to live alone. But I am myself helpless.
Ana Kelsey
Alright, if you sleep today, I will take you to the shop with me tomorrow.
Albert Kelsey
Promise?
*excited*
Albert Kelsey
You...are not lying, right?
Ana Kelsey
No, not to you.
Albert Kelsey
Alright, then come soon. I will..sleep.
Ana Kelsey
*looks at the phone and smiles*
Suddenly, I heard loud shuffling noises coming from outside, I rushed out immediately and saw Uncle John shifting his things out of his cafe.
Ana Kelsey
Uncle John? What is going on?
John
This area, is bought by some rich aßs man, he wants to build a chain of malls here.
John
Yes, and he has already bought this place. We can't stay here.
Ana Kelsey
No... Are you serious?!
*trembles slightly*
John
I am serious as hell. You need to leave before the bulldozer crashes into your roadside shop.
Ana Kelsey
But...I pay the rent. How can they just take it?!
John
*sighs*
I know it must be hard, I am too in this with you, but we can't do anything.
Ana Kelsey
No..I wanna talk to the owner. Who..who has bought this place?!
???
Wish granted.
*cold tone*
2
A tall man, almost 6'3 strides towards ana from behind, his voice sounded extremely cold and mirthless, his aura was spine chilling, as his footsteps reached near Ana, she could feel her face turning pale and her palms sweating.
She felt her body giving up just by the way he was standing behind her, she wanted to believe it was a dream, but this dream seems far too real.
She can't deceive herself.
???
*looking into her eyes*
Zane Lambert
Long time no see, Ex-wife?
*coldly*
His voice was sending shivers to her spine, she could feel her body trembling from the coldness in his voice.
His appearance after 6 years was pointing out to only one purpose, the purpose was her ...
He was here after 6 years, for vengeance
Paul Loris (ML's PA)
Yes, Sir?
Zane Lambert
Make sure you ruin this pathetic flower shop first, I want to see it broken to pieces.
*looking at Ana*
Paul Loris (ML's PA)
As you say, Sir.
Zane Lambert
Make sure you do this by this Tuesday.
John
*steps in*
Sir, This lady over here doesn't know about this, can you please postpone this for the next week so she can at least bind up her things and leave?
*bows down respectfully*
Zane Lambert
And how is that supposed to convince me?
John
*lower head more*
I-If..You c..can..then..ple-please.
Zane Lambert
Paul
*colder*
John
*flinches and steps back*
Paul Loris (ML's PA)
Yes, Sir.
Zane Lambert
Tomorrow!
*angrily*
Zane Lambert
Call the bulldozer, Tomorrow!
*angrily growl*
Ana Kelsey
*fist clenched*
Zane Lambert
*looks at ana*
I want to destroy this, tomorrow only. In front of my own eyes.
Ana Kelsey
*fist clenched*
Zane Lambert
*turns and leaves*
Paul Loris (ML's PA)
*follows behind him*

Paul Loris (ML's PA)
*driving car*
Zane Lambert
*sitting on the back seat while looking out with a cold expression*
Paul Loris (ML's PA)
Sir...?
Zane Lambert
Make it quick.
Paul Loris (ML's PA)
Are you sure you want to buy that building?
Zane Lambert
*glares at him*
Paul Loris (ML's PA)
*flinch and clear his throat*
As far as I know, the place is shabby, it is basically a slum. The apartments in the building are small, and dirty. The locality is poor as well, we will get no profit if we-
Zane Lambert
Done?
*voice Hardened*
Paul Loris (ML's PA)
......
Zane Lambert
I want to buy it, today only.
Paul Loris (ML's PA)
*sighs*
Paul Loris (ML's PA)
Okay sir. But I fear you can't buy today, the owner of the building is out of station-
Zane Lambert
*eyes darkened*
Offer him twice the amount.
Paul Loris (ML's PA)
*shocked*
Zane Lambert
Call him here, today and ask him to sign the papers. In return, offer him twice the money, if this doesn't convince him, offer him thrice the money.
Paul Loris (ML's PA)
*holds the steering wheel tightly*
Paul Loris (ML's PA)
I shouldn't be asking this...But is there something special about that building?
Zane Lambert
*went silent*
Zane Lambert
*close his eyes and dig his nail into his palm*
Ana Kelsey
Please... Don't!
The bulldozer came earlier than Ana had expected, she hasn't collected her things, not to mention they were ruining the flower in her shop, her shop was already facing losses, she was hardly managing to pay for her apartment's rent. Now, she has almost nothing left.
Ana Kelsey
Please, at least give me a few hours.
*pleading*
No one listened to her. She was begging, pleading for them to give her some time. But nevertheless her call for help, they turn blind eye to her.
She saw them putting the things she has put through all these 6 years after she ran away from him.
It was a part of her, and it was ripping her heart apart.
Ana Kelsey
*tears slipped down*
Ana Kelsey
No... Please...*cover her mouth in shock*
Where will she go now? The month was already ending, the apartment's owner will probably throw her out, and she has no store as well.
How will she do this? How will she take care of Albert?
Zane Lambert
Having fun, Darlin?
*whisper in her ears dangerously*
Zane Lambert
See, how does it feel when the thing you cherish the most crashes in front of your eyes, must be fun, no?
*mockingly*
Ana Kelsey
*fist clenched*
Ana Kelsey
W-Why..After all...these years?
Zane Lambert
So, you thought you could just leave after shooting me 6 years ago?
Ana Kelsey
*stopped breathing*
