1 CHAPTER 1

It has never for once crossed her mind that weekends can be boring, and exhausting. Her grandma was there to keep her company, cook for her and tell her interesting folktales stories. But now that she is dead, she is left alone to herself, her parent and grandma all left alone to herself, to her fate.

She rolled restlessly on her bed, rolling from one edge to another edge, she needs to find something doing before she dies of boredom. An idea struck her and she jumped out of bed and put on her fluffy pink slippers and headed for the secret room, located underneath her grandma's room. She has never been there before, as her grandma doesn't allow her. Working as a secretary is a good job, she is well paid and also have a nice boss who she has developed feelings for.

She reached her grandma's room, and rolled away the carpet rug that covered the door to the secret room and she knelt down to study the iron gate, the gateway that she was not allowed to access until now. The door didn't have any lock, so she pushed it and to her suprise, it slide open. She leaned forward to have a glimpse of what was inside the room, but she couldn't see anything, it was dark. She brought out her phone from the back pocket of the trousers she was wearing, and switched on the flashlight and pointed it inside the room, but the room was too deep, the only thing she could see was a book shelf and that got her curious. Holding her phone firmly, to avoid it from falling, she began climbing the iron step gently, to avoid falling. She got to the last step,and gently jumped down, stepping fully into the secret room. Her phone flashlight barely gave light to the room.

She knew her grandma was a fortune teller, who could tell one's future by just reading the person's eyes, but what is it with the book shelf? She wondered. She looked away from the book shelf and pointed the flashlight at a corner in the room. In the corner, stood a table with books on it and two ancient drums by the side of the table. She went over to were the drum and table was and sat on the floor, in front of the drum. She picked up the drum sticks and banged it and the sound echoed in the dark room and it made her shriek in fear.

She dropped the drum sticks, and rummage through the books that was on the table, they were all spell books and that got her more curious, was her grandma more than a fortune teller? Why does she have spell books? This questions ran through her head and she shifted her gaze back to the shelf, maybe it contains spell books too, she thought and shifted her gaze back to the book on the table.

Eliza eyes fell on a spell book with the title "HOW TO HAVE RICHES". With curiosity, she picked up the book and opened the first page, reading the words written inside aloud, she turned to the drum, and playfully beat it with the sticks, like she watched in movies. She looked right and left, expecting gold and silver to pop, but unfortunately, it didn't and she laughed at her own silly imagination, opening to the next page, her phone rang and she hastily picked it up, bodly written on the screen, is CEO Dan, and her heart skipped. She cleared her throat quietly and placed the phone on her ear.

"Hello sir" she said

"hello secretary Eliza" a deep voice said

"how can I help you sir?"

"an emergency meeting was scheduled with our Investors. Let's meet at the office in the next thirty minutes, can you make it?"

" yes sir" she said and hung up the call. She stood up and hurriedly left the room, without closing the door. She reached her room and undressed, she grabbed her towel and rushed to the bathroom to have a quick Shower. Coming out of the bathroom, her towel was barely around her body, as she cleaned her hair with it. Stepping into her room, she saw a man dressed in an ancient attire, sitting on her bed, with his leg crossed and his hands on his lap. His hair, long and gold in colour. It was neatly combed to the back, his deep blue eyes gazing intensely into her hazel eyes. She had always thought her boss was handsome and charming, but he is no where compared to the man that is staring at her now. In a confused state of mind, wondering how a strange man got into her room, and was sitting on her bed, she looked down at her half naked body and hastily wrapped her towel around her body very well, then she heard a deep voice asked, " you summoned me, why?"
