A story written by JulietAKK…
Tiara Michaels stood at the mirror dabbling some red lipstick as
mouth was shaped in “O”. She checked her reflection, she wasn’t looking
bad. She wore a blue shinning grown and a fur coat around her neck,it
wasn’t a bad dress where she secured a work at the Temptation Night
Club. She got the work easily due to her striking beauty. She has thick
black hair,charming brown eyes,stood at 5ft.4inches tall and has well
defined features and curves at the appropriate palaces.
She’d dropped out of school when her father suddenly dissolved his
partnership. Fiona, her second sister, dropped out of school two years
after her when their father’s drinking addiction could not be stopped.
Liza,their third sister stopped school recently when their mother,Peggy,
had been diagnosed of cancer. The income the family gets is too little
as Peggy had resigned from her teacher profession and their father had
gotten himself sacked in a paper company due to his drinking problems
when he harassed his boss on a Monday morning. However, the boss was
kind enough,after hearing the pleas from Peggy Michaels, he decided to
employ Fiona to work for his paper company. When Dickson found out about
Fiona’s new employment, he accused both Peggy and Fiona of having an
affair with the owner of the paper company, they were all shocked, of
course Mr Dickson Michaels was a loving dad.
She recalled when they lived at their mansion which has now been
taken as their dad used it for collateral to acquire a loan from bank to
save the company. Her dad was supposed to fly out on business on
Fiona’s birthday, Fiona on the other hand,said “No dad,no birthday”,and
the four ladies had devices a plan. Peggy called Dickson that their
daughter had fallen off the stair and was in an ambulance,immediately
Dickson had agreed to fly back home and Peggy offered to wait for him at
home. Within few hours,Dickson landed in
Nigeria and was taken home by his driver to meet his wife where they would both go to the hospital. He stomped into his compound, he saw different cars,he became afraid. He opened the door to his sitting room,saw people dancing and there,near Peggy,he saw Fiona,he looked to see if she was alright,she looked fine.

Fiona saw her dad and walked,almost ran to hug him when she noticed
he was in a foul mood,a smile escaped from her lips and gradually
reached her striking brown eyes
Fiona was fair skinned, slightly taller than her elder sister,she was
daddy’s favourite child. Unlike Tiara,Fiona has a weak hair and a clear
voice like that of a piano and has a killing smile.
When Dickson watched the smile reached her beautiful brown eyes,his
heart melted and a smile played on his lips even before he could stop
it.
“I could kill you right now”,he had said
“But you won’t”,she replied and they both laughed and joined the party.

Dickson watched his daughter from the adjourning room as she checks her reflection in the already broken mirror.
He doesn’t know what’s there in this daughter of his,could be her
eyes,he doesn’t know but one thing’s for sure,she’s a lot different from
her two other sisters. Liza’s the mummy’s child and Fiona,a child with
the heart of gold but Tiara,Tiara is something else,talks slow, displays
no emotion, has a cold voice and he had said it many times than once
that she behaves like a ghost but she just smiled it off. A smile that
doesn’t get to her eyes. Tiara is unpredictable but Fiona is. No one can
tell what’s going on in Tiara’s head,always keeps to herself, she has
the heart of a Lion, never afraid, unlike Fiona and Liza. Because of
Tiara’s extreme coldness, he had resulted that she would be his
candidate before he was forcefully asked to dissolve his partnership.
Just a few months from now and everything would be alright, Peggy
would be fine, he would give all the treatment she requires. He owed
Peggy his life. She hadn’t divorced him,she had subjected herself to
this poverty- filled life with him regarding she’s an American,the
reason why his daughters bears funny names; Tiara-Fiona-Liza,he mused.
Peggy names her children even before they were born.
His thoughts were chartered as Tiara crossed him to open the outside
door when he called “Tia……”,she stopped and turned. He knew she was
surprised even though she didn’t show it.
“Where are you going to?”
“To work”,she answered in that cold voice, that voice,there’s something about that voice, something he couldn’t tie his hand around…….”Is there something I can do for you?”,she asked again chattering his thoughts for the second time. He shook his head. She turned to leave and he called her again “Tia…..”,she turned, her dad was behaving strange tonight.
“How’s your mum doing?”,he asked wanting to hear that cold voice.
“I don’t know. When I get to Temptation, I would ask an advanced payment to settle some of her hospital bills and Fiona’s salary due today, so she would hand it over to you”,it struck his heart
“Why would she do that?”
“It’s the right thing to do”
“Even if I’ll just spend it on drinking?”,his voice was on the breaking point now.
“It’s the right thing to do”,she repeated and he nodded. She opened the door and stepped out,the cool night breeze welcoming her and somewhere along the way,the night covered her.
