Hi guys, I've never written a book before, this is my first time writing so please feel free to point out my mistakes to me and your ideas and comments are most welcome.Thanks for choosing to read my book. Enjoy!!!!!

A wide smile spreads on my face as Mrs Joanne went around her marital home with her daughter Eleanor, who was rumored to be a true gem, her beauty was flawless.

She had thick blonde her that reached her waistline,high cheekbones, and soft plump peach shaded lips that made her look like a goddess.

She was the kind of woman that anyone would have killed to have with her long slender neck, ample breasts and a killer figure, her hips weren't too wide but they were good enough to get every man staring .

At the early age of eighteen,she had already had four marriage proposals but her parents turned them all down because she was young and they didn't want to push her into anything when she wasn't ready.

Now, she was twenty-two years old and she had even grown more beautiful than she was before.

Now,now, someone would ask why Joanne, Eleanor's mother was so happy about the dinner she was hosting for her friends.

She squealed like a high school girl at the thought of seeing her best friend June again.

Oh how Joanne couldn't wait to recall fun memories with her best friend, June who happens to be the wife of her husband's best friend.

June and her husband Jake moved to the another state right after they had their son Simon.

They had to move because Jake was in the mafia and during the birth of Simon, one of their rival mafia gangs attacked them and they nearly lost their boy. Ever since the day Luke and Joanne had dropped them off at the airport, they never saw the Kingstons again.

And her nephew Simon, how she had missed his cute chubby baby face she last saw before he disappeared through the night in a private jet, he was probably a full grown man now.

His mother had told Joanne the other time in a video call that he loved gooseberry pie so Joanne decided to bake him one with fresh juicy gooseberries she had plucked from her organic farm in their backyard.

The decorations and every other thing which included the food and table setting was on point so she headed straight to the kitchen to start baking the pie.
                              
Eleanor on the other hand had no idea about who these guests were and found it weird and odd that her parents had decorated the house gorgeously with fresh lilies and scented candles just because old friends were coming over for dinner.

Some of daddy's close friends sometimes came over for dinner but my parents never went an extra mile to impress them so she assumed that these guests were very important to her parents.

She was pulled out of her pool of thoughts when her mother waved at her to grab her attention from across the kitchen island and asked me if I was okay and I responded with a nod.

"Why don't you go get ready darling,it's almost time""okay".

Eleanor didn't answer with words because she couldn't speak, it's not like she couldn't speak but well it was a long story.

Eleanor headed upstairs to her room to go get ready.

She took a hot shower, dried herself up with a towel and started debating on what to wear.

She finally chose a beautiful long yellow summer dress that reached her ankles and paired it with her black four inch pencil heels.

She looked at the reflection in her mirror and she liked what I she saw and so she combed her unbelievably soft hair and tied it up in a high pony tail with a golden hairpin.

She applied a little lip gloss and then she was ready to head downstairs for dinner.

It was like everything and everyone froze when she walked into the hall and for a few seconds she thought maybe I had grown horns on her head.

She mastered up her courage and walked briskly to the living room where everyone including the guests were standing.

There were only two guests and they were nicely dressed,they looked very wealthy in their expensive looking clothes. The man wore a neatly pressed black suit that complemented his skin and he was no doubt very handsome with his feminine and angelic features which included his jet black hair and sharp jawline and the woman was a beauty, a goddess, she had beautiful blonde hair bright green eyes and the palest skin Eleanor had ever seen.

She was looking like a real queen in her red and golden gown with red lipstick that matched her gown elegantly. I greeted with a bow and everyone seemed to have realized how uncomfortable their stares made me so her father went ahead to introduce her to the guests, "Uhmm Jake,June meet my daughter Eleanor" her father proudly said.

"Hi, I'm Jake Kingston and this is my wife June.

The man said I and Eleanor nodded with a genuine smile.

They all went to the dinning room to have dinner, the maidservants immediately started serving dinner when they all sat down.

Every one was engrossed in their own conversation so I just went ahead to dig in and pretended as if I was my own little world because I didn't want to eavesdrop on anyone's conversations.
                                  
Joanne never thought she'd see June again but here she was looking very beautiful as always, June was always the kind to draw attention with her beauty. I missed the way she would throw back her head and laugh heartily.

"Uhm June?"I called her."Yesss" "Where is Simon?, I thought he was coming with you so I baked his favorite gooseberry pie ".

"He said he would be here, I wonder where he is." June responded.

~About 200 miles Away from Eleanor's home~
   
"Please please I promise, I'll give you back the money, please. I have a family, please don't kill me."said the lanky man lying down on the cold floor soaked in his own blood, very pathetic. Well Simon's had had enough of it all.

"Do you take me for a fool?" Simon questioned and he felt the man freeze out of fear."No Boss"he answered with a low voice.

"Then why do your actions say otherwise? This is not the first time Tony,you steal from me once, I forgive you,you do it twice I forgive you, you do it thrice,.......... you become meat Tony" Simon said.

"John, release the hyenas"

"No no please please I swear it won't happen again please I swear I'll pay you back extra"the man cried.

"Stop dreaming Tony we both know you can't pay me back that money even if I gave you a life time, Just be careful the way you make decisions next time oh, there will be no next time, you're going to die."

Simon chuckled softly, he knew that he was sick and heartless but didn't even care.

He watched in pure delight as his hyena pets devoured the foolish pathetic man and just then John brought his phone.

"What?" He asked."Boss it's your mom.""Fuck, give it to me" "Hello mama" "Simon where are you?"asked his mother."I'm on my way mama"
