Silence filled the room for the millionth time, Mercedes had left but returned with a glass of water, Aramide glanced at the decoration again, the walls were deep blue and the floor had black marble tiles,The decorations were done with cream and beige, There were pretty frames and the walls were splashed with Colors, it was really nice to see.
“Aren't you gonna drink something?” Mercedes asked.
“Thank you,” Aramide whispered as she brought the water to her lips.
FLASH BACK
“Aramide—”
“please don't say no” Aramide begged as their eyes locked. She looked at him through her wet eyelashes as she but her lip, at this point she was sure she was going to bleed. “I'm begging you Cole,” She tried “If our past and our love, meant anytime to you, then please, Please help our daughter” She begged.
“And what about Dared?” Cole breathed. “Didn't yo
Angel paced about in his room, he continuously ran his hands through his hair and tried to block out the memories that were running through his head.FLASH BACK"Latifa is dead." Aracely said as she stared at Angel, her eyes were blood shot, her lips were brusied from all the biting and her insides were doing all sorts of things, Her hands shook as she reached out to Angel's free hand he took her hand and now the three of them were holding hands."look at me." She ordered. "look at me dammit" she said and Angel locked eyes with her "shs is in a better place," She tried to assure herself more than Angel, "Latifa - Latifa will be remembered as the amazing person that she was, as a fighter, as a queen and above all as our sister. because she did more than anyone could.""Aracely, she didn't deserve this" Angel said and the guilt hit Aracely in waves. he was right, she didn't deserve it. she had tried to
The warehouse seemed deserted. it as dusty and the floor creaked ever so silently as her feet collided with the ground, She could vaguely hear the train pass by for the fourth time that day, Rain had finally stopped and now dew was alive, Aramide wasn't sure whether it was the weather or the anxiety building inside of her that made her limbs sluggish, she wasn't stopping though,just like so many years ago, this was something she desperately needed to do, she craved this closure. This was the only way to save her daughter and Aramide would go to any lengths to save her.Aramide's grip on her gun tightened,Her ears became even more attentive as they tried to listen to any foreign voice, whether it was the sound of iron that had fallen just a few moments ago, or it was the constant drip if water that torment the aged cemented floor she walked on.Aramide suddenly turned and looked around, her gun pointed at no one in particu
“Angel?” Aramide asked. Confusion filled her features as she stared at Bola looking for some sort of clarification, what was the woman talking about now? “Don't play dumb Aramide, I know that you have Angel, that you have my son”Bola spat “I don't have your son Bola, what are you even talking about, pleas just give me the address!” Aramide pleaded. “Don't insult my Intelligence! Angel is my son and you know that! he is in your home and you are hiding him from me! what sort of hypocrite are you?” Bola spat. “On one had you desperately want to reunite with your daughter and on the other hand you are separating me from my son, how is that even fair?!” Bola's voice continue to rise. “Angel is your son?” Aramide said the words before she could believe them “H-how?” “He is my son, and that is all you need to know, so are you going to hand him over to me or not?”
Bola curled into herself and cried, there she was, the great Bola Hampson, the woman who everyone feared, she was curled up in a corner like some battered animal, crying her eye out because once again,Aramide had won, and she had lost.FLASH BACK“Just like Nina right, her death was a mistake" Aramide's voice rang through Bola's head.“Aramide!” Bola roared as she marched towards Aramide and pointed her gun at her even in the dark room.“Nina, Nina wanted to live, we both knew, The first time they had tried to kill her and the second time she commit suicide herself. Bola we knew—" Aramide tried to speak“Aramide stop, I don't want to hear my sister's name from your lips” Tania spat.“We knew what was going on, but we didn't speak up, we believed that if we simply covered our eyes or looked away, the problem woul
“You are finally here” Aracely heard Tania speak as Adrian wheeled her into the house, “Yes, we are back, Adrian wanted to stay a bit longer but, I told him that you would be missing him,so we came back,” Aracely said to Tania before she locked eyes with Adrian and spoke “Right honey?” “Honey?”Tania asked confused. “oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you,” Aracely said as she smirked at Tania before she took Adrian's hand and continued “I'm officially Adrian's girlfriend, we are together now” Aracely said with a big smile and it was all worth it because Tania's expression was priceless. “What?” Tania spat out. Aracely had to bite her lip to prevent herself from laughing, the look on the woman's face was completely priceless, she had no clue, this was just the beginning. “When...How? why?” Tania spluttered. “oh mom! you k
Aramide rested on the wall of the closed bookshop she had encountered. Her insides kept churning, she's felt like life was being squeezed from her,It was really painful, how one can spend years building a relationship or a friendship and then it just crumbles in one moment.Nothing was more painful, than not being able to recognise someone who gave you so much affection, How? How, why was change so painful? why was it, that change seemed to always affect everything we didn't want it to. Aramide knew she was being Cruel, yes, she had no right to separate bola from her son, But the Bola has knew wasn't the bola she saw,Bola used to defend everyone from injustice, she just to protect even the people SSH didn't know, and now, she— she is abusing her own son, Aramide couldn't let that happen, she just couldn't. She wasn't that strong.For so many years, Aramide had tried to bring herself to hate Bola or even detest her and tim
FLASH BACKA-are you responsible for this massacre?" She asked in almost a whisper, her eyes threatened to spill tears but that was only a bluff as she bit her lip and held them back."Ara—" Adrian tried as he took a step forward"Are you the one?" Her voice was heavy with emotion as her eyes pierced him, their eyes locked for moment and their sentiments laid heavy on the atmosphere, Aracely dug her teeth farther into her lips, the taste of blood was no longer a foreign feeling in her mouth"Yes, we are the ones responsible little girl," the woman suddenly spoke drawing Aracely's attention without a pencil, The woman's aura was so familiar,almost like she had known her before, you know that feeling when you meet someone, and you feel you have met them before but you can't remember when or how? All you know is that they leave off a vibe or energy around you that you just can't get over "and that person laying
“ARAMIDE!” Adrian screamed as he ran to her and fell at her side, she had rolled down fifteen steps, she was covered in blood and her hair was stuck to her skin, Adrian looked up at his mother. his eyes were filled with rage and they barely registered his mom shaking her yea profusely as if to day she had no clue about what happed that didn't matter now, the big problem was that Aramide wasn't breathing, guilt washed over Adrian. He held her to his chest “Pl—please don't die on me” Adrian cried. “Call an ambulance! What are you doing standing there?!” He yelled at his mother. “No we can't call an ambulance the cops are going get to get involved” “i don't bloody care mother! I said call the freaking ambulance” “I can I won't put us in danger” “Then I will” Adrian said as he rummaged around his clothes searching for his phone, when he finally found it he
