"What happened?" Navaeh asked as he walked into Eunice's room to find her looking agitated.
"A thief! He tried to steal something from me" Eunice replied, annoyance clear in her voice
Nevaeh's eyes widened in shock "What?!, Ain't no way nobody can get in here" he said, "You have top-of-the-line security"
"I don't know," Eunice said with a shrug," But I saw someone in my bedroom".
Nevaeh sighed "Okay, let's try to figure this out". he said. "Where did you see him?"
"In my bedroom you fatuous baboon, I just told you" Eunice replied, rolling her eyes.
Nevaeh shook his head. "What I mean is where specifically in your room?" he clarified.
Eunice thought for a moment "He appeared behind me by the shelf. it was like he materialized out of thin air."
"Alright".Nevaeh said as he approached the shelf that was stocked with state-of-the-art artworks.

Minutes later, A huge man who had a noticeable muscular physique dressed in a black suit which further accentuate his imposing presence approached Mrs Eunice
"Madam Eunice" he called, He appeared to be the head of the bodyguards. "Despite an extensive search by the guards, there was no evidence of anyone entering the premises" he reported.
"Even the CCTV footage did not capture anything" he added
The man's demeanor showed that he remained vigilant and ready to respond to any potential threat.
Mrs. Eunice who was already feeling unwell and fatigued expressed her gratitude to Diego as she instructed him to leave.
Diego understood her concerns and instructed the bodyguards to search the surrounding areas as they left her room
"Hey, Eunice, Isn't this the vase you got from an admirer? it's broken to pieces!" Navaeh said with a confused expression.
"Did the thief do this?".he asked
"No, I was merely examining it when it slipped and fell".
To avoid appearing stupid, she hid the true reason being that she heard a voice coming from the vase and had suspected the presence of a little speaker
"So, when the vase broke, the thief appeared behind you?"
Naveah asked with a face that seemed like he just figured something out.
"Well yes, something like that", Eunice replied wondering where he was going with his question
"It really felt like he appeared behind you?".Nevaeh asked as he smiled in a state of pleasant surprise.
"Yes" Eunuce replied looking at him with a confused expression
"Dude!, It's got to be a-"
"Be what?!". Nevaeh began before being interrupted by Eunice.
"Nevaeh, you obtuse buffoon, just say something stupid and you are fired !" Eunice said with a deep frown of annoyance and frustration on her face
"Come on Eunice"
"You know "
His voice was low and intense
"I know what?" Eunice asked, her tone exasperated.
"And mind you, it's MADAM Eunice, I have warned you several times not to call me bro, dude, or just Eunice you birdbrain, Do not dare me".Eunice snapped back in an intimidating tone.
Undeterred, Nevaeh continued "Mama, a mysterious vase appeared in your hands while you were unconscious, the vase broke, and a mysterious man appeared, you know what this means".
"Just make three wishes". He added
Eunice was fed up and angry at Nevaeh's insistence, She let out a big sigh, trying to ignore the fact that he had just called her "mama".
"Thank you, Nevaeh, you may leave now" She says with finality, hoping to end the conversation
"Okay, excuse me, " Nevaeh said respectfully as he turned around to leave
He closed the door softly behind him and leaned his back against it, taking a moment to collect his thoughts.
As he stood there in the grand hallway, he couldn't help but admire the majesty of the surroundings. The hallway was immense with high ceilings and marble floors that gleamed under the warm light of the crystal Chandler. The walls were adorned with beautiful artwork and ornate tapestries, each telling a story of its own.
Nevaeh's hand fumbled in his pocket for a moment before he pulled out a cigarette and a lighter, He placed the cigarette between his lips and flicked the lighter, bringing the flame to the tip of the cigarette. He took a drag, the smoke filling his lungs as he exhaled a cloud of smoke in the air.
"You are one lucky woman y'know that?" he muttered to himself in a soft tone. "You know it's her birthday, Madam Eunice, and I know you care, so why let the little girl suffer?"
With that he walked away from the door disappearing into the darkness as the lights in the hallway flickered out behind him.

"Do you think she will open the vase?".
A man who appeared to be in his early 40s sat in a dimly lit room that was filled with strange and mysterious substances. The room had an eerie atmosphere, and it almost seemed like it was some kind of magic room. Despite the darkness, The man's striking good looks were still visible. His chiseled jawline and sharp features made him look like a wealthy and successful man. He wore a tailored suit that hugged his broad shoulders, and his expensive watch glinted in the faint light
"As soon as she opens the vase. the curse will follow her, Gabby".
a young woman spoke up. She was breathtakingly beautiful, with long, flowing hair. Her eyes sparkled like diamonds, and her skin was as smooth and flawless as porcelain. She looked to be around 29 years old, and her ethereal beauty was a stark contrast to the dark and gloomy room.
Gabby's handsome face twisted into a frown of annoyance." Disgusting people like her should suffer".he said with disdain.
The woman reached out to comfort him, taking his hand in hers. "She will open the vase soon, my lovely Gabby," she said. "She will be brought down in shame as the curse makes her suffer".
"Thank you, my love," Gabby replied, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. He pulled the woman closer to him, pressing his lips to hers in a deep and passionate kiss.
