BREATHLESS [A story that will touch your soul]

EP 1; Placing the coffee mug on the glass table, "you know what darling, girls like you who always try to run away from dating and relationships, always end up falling in love at the end." Letting out a brittle laughter, "grandma I think you're under the influence of fairy tales. Or did you watch Cinderella cartoons before coming?" "Huh? I can't even remember the last time I watched fairy tales movie." "Then why are you talking bout dating and relationships? Because I know am not interested in them" Raising her eyebrows, granny Mathilda burst into laughter. Scowling her face, "grandma what's funny? I didn't say something funny" Slightly pinching and pulling bianca's cheeks, granny Mathilda chuckled, "yes dear, you just said something funny." Frowning confusedly, "how?" Taking a deep breath, "first of all, let me tell you something." She sat up properly and faced her. "Do you know that old men and women of my age  still goes into relationship?" Widening her eyes and mouth in shock, Bianca threw her hands in her mouth and gasped. "Ahh, you gat to be kidding me grandma" Nodding her head, "no darling, am not kidding, am talking legit." "But why do they have to go into a relationship when they're old and weak?" Shrugging her shoulders, "weird" Flicking her forehead, "oh you haven't heard of old people dating sites?" Frowning confusedly, "old people dating sites? No I haven't and why is it?" Chuckling, "okay I'll tell you" she whispered and explained. "Every woman needs a life partner, whom will watch over her, protect her and support her till the end of time. So no matter your age or who you are, you still need a partner." Sitting up properly, Bianca helplessly shook her head. "But it's not in my gene to date anyone right now, because–" placing her hand on her chest, she gave a doleful look and added, "I don't wanna suffer another heartbreak, please feel my pains" Patting the top of her head, she chuckled. "I do feel your pains too dear but heartbreaks are also part of life" Widening her eyes and mouth in shock, "huh?" Bianca shouted shockingly. "Uh huh, if you didn't date someone then how do you experience heartbreaks? Or do you just watch them happen in the movies?" P.S The cover page don't belong to me.

Stack of documents

She startled with her eyes wide open, "Yes, Yes."

"Good." He said before walking towards the wardrobe.

Biting her fingers, "Bianca helplessly shook her head. She felt alot of pity for that girl. She's like an innocent baby, who was born into a spicy world.

Walking towards her with a stack of documents in his hands. He squatted down in front of her, "here, have this." He said before handling the stack of documents to her.

Taking it from him, she scrunched her brows, "what's this?"

"This is a stack of documents, that contains my wealth and properties."

Widening her eyes, "w–wh–why are you giving it to me?"

"I want you to hold it and keep it safe for me."

"Why don't you keep it for yourself?"

Taking a deep breath, he sighed and cupped his chin, "I don't know, something tells me that, my documents are targeted."

Looking at the door, she carefully caressed the front cover, "it's cold." She said and looked at him, "but why me? Why not someone else?"

Placing his hands on her laps, "Baby, you are the only one, I could trust amongst everybody. My heart chose you, and I know you won't betray me." He stated.

"But––"

"Shh, you don't have to say anything. It's just a stack of documents, which holds my credentials, educational certificates, master degree, power of ownership of my company, wallet access, cheque book, Mansions papers, ownership of lands and properties, vehicles licenses, and lastly, access to all my bank accounts." He explained.

Widening her eyes when she heard 'Access to all my bank accounts.' not one, not eight, not ten, but lots.

Resting his head on her lap, "Now my mind is at peace." He chuckled.

"Honey?"

"Hmm"

"Can I ask a question?"

"Yes darling, go on."

"Why didn't you give it to grandma, Ryan, Nelly or Aunt Elsa?"

"Well, that's because my heart didn't chose them." Lifting his head up, he gazed into her eyes. "Grandma is too old to keep it. Ryan has his own to take care of, and I don't want to double his stress by adding mine to his. Nelly is the careless type, and Mom is a 24/7 workaholic woman, who doesn't have time to look after someone's property." He explained.

"And your dad? Isn't he trusted too? Remember when you said he was your best part, so what happened now? Is he no longer your favorite buddy in crime? Won't you hand the stack to him?" She inquired with a pale face.
