Coerced
It is rightly said and often proved by the proverb, man proposes and God disposes. What happens when everything seems to go well and a day arises in your life that within a heartbeat the fate comes crashing down at your feet turning your destiny to an utter catastrophe? What happens when the only girl you LOVE in this world and next starts to HATE you for an action you aren't even responsible for and you can do nothing about it except to keep your hands folded? What happens when you lose everything in your life including your family within a matter of seconds just because of a single ignorant move? It just cost me a blink of an eye and my life gyrated into bits and pieces because of a dopey move under the influence of sedation and sex. I am Shannon Clandevis, CEO of Clandevis Group of Industries, one of the top billionaires of the United States. People seek me with praising annotations but they are ignorant about an important veracity. I am a love struck bovine with a vacuous soul and secrets buried deep under the ground.
