Aramide rested on the railing in her balcony, For some reason her mind had travelled to her past today. She almost couldn't believe so many years had passed. So many.words had been said and heard and so many bonds had been broken and made, Change had been so consistent that she almost couldn't recognise herself.
She's still remembers the day she had decided to come to London
FLASH BACK
"Ara, I think you are overthinking this, leaving it all behind was the best thing you could do! Besides, remember your career? how you worked so hard to get here, are you going to give up because some clothes aren't what you want?" Bola countered.
"It's not the clothes, Bola. It's everything.
I know I act like I don't care, but I do. I do. I am starting to regret coming to London, I should have just stayed in Lagos, that's my home! its-"
"I can't believe you,"

She could barely register the friendly chatter from people in the restaurant, waitresses walking from one place to another asking orders, If she could feel or move her legs she would probably be nervously tapping them on the ground like she was doing with her hands. “What's your order ma'am?” Aracely heard a waitress ask. “My order?”Aracely swallowed “Yes ma'am your order” The waitress bit back. If Aracely didn't know better she would at the waitress was ride for nearly being sarcastic with her, but she couldn't exactly blame the woman Aracely had been in the restaurant for about two hours now, Daniel was supposed to be there before

“Tania Montes?” Daniel asked as he sat up right in his chair, “who is she?” He continued. “You don't know her?" Aracely asked with a raised eyebrow, as she rested her hand on the table, sure, a mild scene had been created when the glass broke — but she was fine now, after all, there were more mattes to settle “No, I don't know her, how is she related to all this?" He asked as he brought the cup of coffee to his lips Aracely frowned as she stared back at him, a bit of disbelief ringing at the back of her head, while her thoughts remained strained. “She is Bola's business partner” Aracely had definitely not expected the man to completely spit out his coffee and stare at her in pure shock, “Wait. how is..Are you...Do you think...do you think Bola is involved in any of this?" “I don't know” Aracely stated.

Aramide breathed deeply. Her hands rested on the door as if to knock before she recoiled it back, She could feel Efrain's hand on her shoulders as if to offer her some form of comfort, she smiled at the gesture but it didn't reach her eyes,She honestly couldn't believe that she was doing this, but the truth was that she would do anything for her daughter, absolutely anything.

Please listen to me!” Cole's yells echoed throughout the streets as he ran after me, I alternated between wiping my tears and trying to get a taxi, I felt used, pathetic, and stupid, once again, once again I had let someone play with me. Why? Why didn't I just stick to my career? Why? Why did I have to fall in love with the wrong person, all over again? “Aramide,” he said again, as he managed to catch up and held my arm, and in a split second my palm collided with his face.“don't touch me” I gritted out through my teeth“hit me!” He yelled, his eyes were red too, had he been crying?
