Three Months
Chapter One
Inside AA mall, a world class shopping mall, bustling sounds of costumers’ echoed inside the building as they made their way into different isles picking their daily necessities. Some other workers restocked empty shelves, while other attended to customers who were having a hard time choosing between products.
Lauren is among those who helped customers, showing them the varieties of products spread across the isles to choose from.
Lauren, full name: Lauren Ikojie is a 27 years old lady who graduated from the X University, two years ago. Orphaned from a young age, she lived on her mother’s savings and also worked other minimal jobs till she graduated from school and has since been unable to secure a white collar job.
Her father died when she was just one year old and her mother, she passed away when she was eleven years old. After her mother’s passing, she neither knew any of her parent’s relatives except for her grandmother on her maternal side that moved in to take care of her.
Few years later, her grandmother passed away when she’d just finished secondary school. So, she really had it rough growing up without parents. Coming across job opportunities, she would attend interviews with the hope of getting the job but instead, she would walk out rejected. But that didn’t stop her from searching for other opportunities. A few months later, after searching long and hard, she finally gets recruited to be a salesperson at AA mall, one of the largest shopping malls in the heart of X city.
After the day’s work; Lauren convenes outside the mall with her other co-workers and they head home. She would return to her two bedroom apartment, the only piece of possession she has in her mother’s name.
Once inside, she observed her usual routine. This included; freshening up, having her dinner, watching a movie or reading a book and finally retiring to sleep. In fact she lived a pretty simple life. But little did she know that her simple life was about to be shaken forever.
Days later…
On a sunny afternoon inside the mall, two little kids, both between the ages of 5 to 6 snuck inside the mart, running from isle to isle playing tag.
At the same time outside the supermarket, a black Maserati rolled to...
