[119] RAISING DUST
“W-what just happened?” Daniel asked. He was astonished by Aramide's reaction. Yes, he hadn't expected her to hug him and be sweet with him, but he didn't think that she would run away from him.
“look it's not too late to call this a bad idea—” Efrain tried. At this point, the man was feeling like he had messed up. he should have never agreed to do this, now he was paying for his actions. He hoped that Aramide would forgive him, he had messed things up.
“She left— Aramide ran away from me,” Daniel spoke out his thoughts. He was still astonished.
FLASHBACK
“Leave me alone! what part of I don't want to see anyone didn't you all get?”
“Not even me Clarissa?” Daniel spoke.
"Daniel," she said in a heavy tone. "Now is not a good time" she finished her eyes threatening to spill tears

ARAMIDE [120] I'LL FIX THIS
“Bola! I can't even begin to explain what happened! That girl— that girl is insane! she is mad!” Tania lamented the moment Bola walked into her home, She had taken the woman upstairs into her study so they could have a quiet conversation, the last thing she needed was for her son to hear her talking about that Aramide 2.0 “You need to calm down and feel me exactly what happened, that's the only way I will be able to help” Bola spoke as she plopped down the small couch in the study and stared back at Tania “I cannot be calm Bola! I cannot be calm! that girl barged right into my home and now she wants to steal my son away from me! I won't let this happen, no no way!” Tania whisper yelled as she paced tho and fro in the Study. “Look, I can't help you if you don't tell m, what exactly did she do? and didn't I tell you to get rid of her?" “It's not that easy! it's not easy at all! She
ARAMIDE [121] PIECES
“She said that? are you sure she wants to live with me?” Mercedes asked stunned. She was currently sitting on the couch in the living room. it was getting late. Mercedes honestly didn't have it in her to try and grasp what Adrian had said, why would Aracely want to live with her, it wasn't a bad thing, but it was just too easy and too fast, what was going in the girl's mind?“Yes, that's exactly what she said, she— she claims she needs space and she feel unsafe at my house, Mercedes would you please help us out?" Adrian spoke as he took her hands into his, he was currently sitting beside her on the couch, He squeezed her hands and eyes locked, Adrian mentally begged her to agree and Mercedes mentally beat herself up for keeping this secret from him, but his mother, If his mother found out that Aracely was Aramide's daughter, she would kill her and then push down the stairs would be a love tap.No, she had to protect her niece no matt
ARAMIDE [122] DAWN
“You are finally awake” Mercedes spoke as she glanced over at Aracely. the woman was currently sat beside the girl who was perched on the bed, She had woken up better and thus the oxygen mask was removed. She definitely took her sweet time to wake up though — it had been about four days she passed out and Adrian had been drowning in guilt, Mercedes honestly didn't know who to be mad at anymore— Aracely? or Herself for not speaking up and telling Adrian the truth. It was very suspicious how Aracely immediately shifted her moods and behaviour whenever he was around, She would completely transition from her cool and calm mindset into someone that was probably going through trauma, it was obvious that she was manipulating him, but why? why do that to someone you claim to love and care about, why was she playing with his feelings and trying to eat them apart. Mercedes sighed as continued to stare at the girl.
ARAMIDE [123]. BLACK
“One day, you are going to look back at all of this Aracely and you will wish you listened to me”Mercedes spoke in a heavy tone.“I will patiently wait until that day Mercedes, but until then, please stay out of my business” Aracely said as a tear fell down her cheeks.“Adrian wants to see you, He's been waiting outside—" Mercedes began“i don't want to see anyone” Aracely bit back, she watched as Mercedes features contorted into that of anger but it seemed like the woman was trying her best to control her emotions, Aracely watched as the woman closed her eyes and opened it again,“He's been waiting to see you for the past few days after that— that — I don't even know what to call it cause I don't you even know you any more!” Mercedes spat“That's where you re wrong Mercedes, You never knew
ARAMIDE [124] WE ARE STRANGERS NOW
“Aramide please come out, let's talk this out, please” Aramide heard Daniel's voice from behind the rest room. The melanin beauty ran her hands through her hair and bit her lip as tears stung her eyes, She parted her lips and spoke in an emotion filled voice”please leave, there's nothing to talk about, I don't want to see you”“But you can't run away, and why don't you want to see me? it's been so many years Aramide...” She heard him trial off,silence lingered on for a while and just when Aramide thought he had left He spoke to again“I thought you were dead” Aramide shut her eyes close and let a few tears fall, her fists folded besides her, as always this was a her fault wasn't it.FLASH BACK"You are here" Aramide said as she pulled out of the hug Daniel had trapped her in. The man smiled as he looked her down, Aramide hadn
ARAMIDE [125] REMNISCIENCE
“I met Aracely few weeks ago,” Daniel's voice was calm and steady, he didn't sound like he was talking about a girl whom until a few weeks ago he had considered dead, the man had become emotionally drained and exhausted. He had hoped meeting Aramide would fix whatever differences they had but instead it just broke whatever bond he though they had.“How did you meet her?” Aramide's monotone voice filled the two pair of ears that sat at the table with her, She stared at Daniel hungrily almost like she was ready to devour whatever string of information was ready to escape his lips, It wasn't until a few hours since she's and finally mustered the courage to get out of the rest room and then they and spent the next hour him a staring contest, neither party was willing to speak and the most uncomfortable was Efrain who seemed to be the third wheel in whatever volcano was about to burst.&ldqu
ARAMIDE [126] THE SUBTLE ART OF FEELING
“You seem better than you looked yesterday” Mercedes' voice was calm. She was dressed in a light blue casual gown and a pearl necklace adorned her neck. “Aren't you going to speak to me? not even today?” She asked as she walked over to Aracely's wheel chair which was facing the mirror instead of Mercedes.It had been approximately seven days since she moved in, Seven days since she had finally gotten off that bed, yes she was still stuck to her wheel chair, but it was progress right? Aracely's eyes darted around then back at the mirror, A small frown played at the top of her plump lips as she glared at the woman's reflection in the mirror. “What exactly do you want?” Her voice was harsh, Void of any kind emotion, Her words pierced through the smile Mercedes had forced herself to wear before walking down to hall to the girl's room.Mercedes' face fell. She could see the glare Aracely was
ARAMIDE [127] YOU DESERVE TO BE LOVED
“Aracely...” Mercedes's voice was soft. She definitely had no clue what to do, and yes, the girl had just told her to stay away from her but she — She just couldn't help it. This was her niece, Aracely. She reached out and rested her hand on Aracely's shoulder — deciding it was best to test her luck. To her utmost shock, Aracely didn't recoil— at first.“Leave Mercedes... ” Her voice was hoarse and weak, and if Aracely wasn't right in front of her, eyes staring out the window Intently watching something that wasn't even there, Mercedes wouldn't have believed that she was the one who spoke. “Go. run while you still can. you have your whole life ahead of you — your wedding...A family.” Aracely's voice was monotone, but the tunes of sorrow ever so slightly played underneath. “I am like fire, Anyone who comes close to me...They burn...” Aracely trailed off
