The Next Day,
The sun was barely up as Mrs. Eunice Sat up on her bed, her hair still damp from a recent shower. She heard a gentle knock on her door and granted permission for the person to come in.
A young and beautiful maiden walked in carrying a well-arranged cup of green tea." Oh, you're already up Madam, I brought you your green tea" the girl says with a smile
"Thank you, just keep it over by the desk there" Mrs Eunice replied, gesturing toward a corner of the room. It was obvious that Mrs. Eunice was preparing to leave for somewhere early that morning.
"Tell Nevaeh that I have a meeting in a few minutes, so I will be heading to the office soon, he should take care of things in my absence" Mrs Eunice instructed the maid
"Okay madam, is there anything else I can do for you?" the maid asked politely.
"No, you can go" Mrs Eunice replied, dismissing the maid. However before the maid could leave, Eunice stopped her.
"Wait," she said
"Is everything alright Elizabeth?".
The maid's eyes widened in shock and confusion. "Ye- yes madam, everything is alright". She replied with a slight stutter.
"Okay dear, you may leave" Mrs. Eunice said, acting as if she hadn't noticed the strange behavior of her maid who brought her green tea every morning.
After some minutes, Mrs. Eunice stood up and walked over to the desk to pick up her cup of green tea, ready to enjoy the soothing taste when suddenly she heard a voice from behind.
"You shouldn't drink that," the voice said, startling her. Mrs. Eunice quickly turned around to see who it was, her eyes widened in surprise as she recognized the person standing before her.
"It's you! shameless perverted thief " She said, her tone unyielding and firm, dropping her teacup in shock.
The man, who was very handsome and had an air of mystery around him, didn't seem fazed by Mrs. Eunice's accusations.
"Perverted thief?, look you Scum, I do not have all the time in the world to spend with you humans," he said, his brows furrowed.
"Make a wish," he demanded.
Eunice was taken aback by his audacity.
"A wish?, You have no shame". She replied, her voice laced with anger. "I don't know how you stayed hidden so well overnight but trust me, I will make you pay for messing around with a woman like me". She added not showing any fear.
The man gave a small smile." A lot of your kind know about me, how come you don't?".he asked. "I'm Mammon, the man whose vase you broke, and I have to grant you three wishes so I can go back. Do you get it now?".
"Mammon?, You stupid con artists think you can play around with me " Mrs. Eunice resorted, with a hint of a smile on her lips.
She glared at her wristwatch and realized she was running late for her meeting.
"Diego!" She called out in a high and angry tone. It didn't take long for Diego, her head of security, to rush in.
"Is there a problem, Madam?".Diego asked.
"He is here". Eunice replied, pointing in the direction of Mammon, but to her surprise, he had disappeared once again. Mrs. Eunice became annoyed and decided to leave the matter for Diego to handle.
"The thief is here, Diego, but I have to go. Make sure he is caught and dealt with before you call the police". She said as she walked out of the room without looking back.
.
As she walked towards the front door, Eunice saw a group of men in suits and dark glasses standing next to a sleek and shiny black Rolls-Royce, and one of the men opened the door for her. She got in and sat back on the plush leather seats. The door was closed and the car started moving. Three other black vans followed closely behind, guarding the car's every move.
They gracefully exited the grand and majestic compound, surrounded by lush green gardens and a driveway that was paved with marble.
As the car slowly made its way out of the compound, Aurora watched from the window, her eyes fixated on the vehicle until it disappeared. Aurora's heart grew heavy, and she couldn't help but let out a sad "mummy…" as she watched her mother disappear from her view. With a heavy sigh, she closed the window and returned to her writing desk, where she was working on a novel.
"I wonder if the rumors here are true ?". She muttered to herself, her thoughts drifting to the whispers she had heard about a thief In the area. Despite the luxurious surroundings and the apparent security measures in place, She had a sense of unease lingering in the air. As she continued to write, Aurora couldn't shake the feeling that something sinister was lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike. The rumors of the thief only added to her growing sense of unease.

2 hours later,
Mrs. Eunice arrived at her grand company, a sprawling monument of wealth and prosperity that towered above the skyline like a beacon of success. She strode confidently through the ornate lobby, her presence commanding the respect of those around her. A group of men followed her closely as she made her way to her office, their expressions reflecting a mixture of admiration and awe.
As she opened the door to her office, She was greeted by a team of staff members, all eager to provide updates on the company's progress.
"Good morning, Madam Eunice" they chimed in unison, their voices echoing throughout the room.
"I don't have time, Please let's make this quick". Eunice replied, her tone polite but firm indicating her busy schedule.
The meeting began with the staffs discussing the progress of the company's various projects and ventures.
However, their discussion was abruptly interrupted by the arrival of a female staff member.
"Mrs. Eunice, someone is requesting to speak to you on the phone". She announced. "He claims to be the manager of one of your companies in Europe".
Mrs. Eunice's eyes lit up with interest ." oh, is that so?"
She asked with a small smile.
"This meeting Is over, we shall continue some other day" She said, as she dismissed all staffs from her office eager to hear what the person on the phone had to say
As she picked up the phone, Mrs. Eunice spoke with authority and confidence "Hello, this is Mrs Eunice" she announced.
"Hello madam". A man with a thick voice replied, his voice distorted by the sound of the noise in the background as if he were in a helicopter. "I've got some nice little girls here, madam"
He said, hinting at an opportunity for profit.
"I think you will make a lot of paper from them".
"That's good", Mrs. Eunice replied with a smile
"You know what to do, I will be expecting you". She added as she hung up the phone.
"You rotten woman!" A voice from behind interrupted her thoughts. The voice spat out disdain.
Immediately, Mrs. Eunice spun her chair around in shock, recognizing the voice that had just spoken.
"It's you!". She said, her confusion was evident.
"How did you get here a-- and why are you following me?". Her mind was racing with questions.
Without skipping a beat, the voice replied. "Make a wish".
Eunice was bewildered and stunned, wondering what this man named Mammon really wanted from her. She attempted to stand up, but her body felt unresponsive and numb, preventing her from moving. She desperately tried to call security but her attempts were in vain.
"Calm down woman". Mammon spoke as he approached her.
" I just want to talk so you have to stay still for a while ".
Mrs. Eunice's heart was racing as she felt a wave of unease wash over her. She was clueless about what Mammon's true intentions were
" I'm Mammon, The first son of SATAN"
