" Mum I have been so busy lately but I will try" Elizabeth was trying to open her door with her phone on her shoulder blade.

" You have always been busy all your life Elizabeth" her mum huffed on the phone.

She never really had time for family gathering and here was her mom trying to invite her to one which she probably won't be going to.

" Work calls mum, I have to work make money " she whined dumping her bag on the chair after successfully opening the door to her apartment.

Her apartment is a three bedroom flat with a big kitchen filled with utensils she probably won't be using. She has a study room and a silent room she uses for yoga and excercising.

" You have worked all your life Eli why don't you take a break the whole family is going to be there, your uncle Thompson and your aunt Lana. Your siblings miss you" her mother tried to convince her but she wasn't gonna listen to her. The member of the family she least anticipated to see was her uncle Matthew always feeling like he knows God than everyone else in the family.

He is known to be the family's seer and dreamer, and truly his dreams or visions always come true as he has said so everyone belives him. He is just a loner, showing up for family dinners once in a while scaring people with his bloody murder dreams.

Elizabeth was usually not fazed by this, she would always roll her eyes and snort at his dreams. Her mother would always try to make her have faith in his dreams. She would never forget his dreams and visions towards her those were things she would never talk about to anyone not even her parent.

She was okay with the relationship she is having with God, he is giving her more then she asks for so whatever he says is bull crap.

She would probably stay at home having online meetings and meeting with her Investors than going to that family event where everyone would be sucking up to him.

" I have heard you mum I will think about it and get back to you" she tiredly sighed taking out a water bottle from a spacious kitchen.

" Please do sweetie on Saturday seven pm, your father says hi" she added with a chirpy voice.

" My regards mom I love you" she said too quickly eager to hang up

" Love you too baby " her mother hung up and she could imagine her mother perfect set of teeth through the phone.

Her mother Christabel Williams a woman in her late forties, a fashionista and a loving woman. She has a slender figure like Elizabeth you would probably think she was Elizabeth's elder sister If they both stood together.

She is devoted to the work of God a good virtuous woman, a Deaconess and her father a Deacon. She gave birth to three kids Elizabeth being the first born, Ezekiel the second child he is 20 years old currently studying pharmacy at college in his third year.

And Elena the third child she is 17 years old in her senior year at highschool.

Elizabeth picked up her bag going to her room she threw her shoes aside peeling off her clothes from her body. She ran into the bathtub filled with bubbles.

She needed that after a long day at work

Having taken her bath she picked out a joggers and a shirt with nothing underneath since she was the only one living in her house she was free to do whatever she wanted to.

She quickly ordered food taking out her laptop working on it till the food arrived. She was never really the type to cook.

*Door bell rings* she stood up putting her laptop aside.

She collected the food from the delivery guy handing him a ward of cash slamming the door in his face.

She blessed the food digging in while typing away on her laptop.

After working on her laptop for a few minutes she decided to work out a few minutes before applying her skincare.

" Heavenly father thank you for today, I sure had a lovely day. Thank you for the new month of February, Thank you for new deals oh Lord I appreciate. Thank you for food on my table and shelter to sleep, thank you lord for my family and my employees....."

After praying she wore her sleeping mask resting her head on her pillow thinking of falling asleep but she could her eyes were wide open, she stood up removing her sleeping mask walking to her table taking out her pods.

She connected it to her phone shuffling the songs on her playlist. This was a really good idea because she soon fell asleep but it was short lived.

"..... Why are you running from me Elizabeth?" Her eyes snapped open, she was breathing faster than the usual, her chest rising up and down. She took out her phone checking the time it was 9:00 pm on dot.

She had hoped it would stop but it didn't, she didn't want old wonunds opening up again but here was it. What she was avoiding.

She threw away her sleeping mask muttering some psalms and bible verse but she knew she was deceiving herself she just had to think this was something else but at the back of her mind it kept saying it wasn't.

This isn't over she thought, unable to sleep throughout the night.
