“I'm gonna call Mercedes to find out why she hasn't called me with regards to Aracely, something isn't right.” Aramide announced as she walked into the living room. She seemed rather calmer now.
“I'm sure nothing's wrong with them.” Efrain waved off. Besides, I spoke to Daniel today. Aramide rolled her eyes at the name.
“And what did he have to say?”She asked as she strolled over to their mini bar and filled up two glasses of wine.
“He said they were going to meet up and he had amazing news for Aracely” Aramide's ears perked up at that.
“What news?” she asked
“He didn't say,” Efrain admitted. Aramide raised an eyebrow at that but didn't comment. Instead, she walked over to where Efrain was sat on the couch and offered him a glass of wine which he accepted wordlessly.

“Did I interrupt something?” Mercedes's voice was low and soothing. Aracely looked her over from her spot on the bed. Her hair had been tied in a messy bun and it seemed like she had just woken up, yesterday had been a hectic day for everyone with emotions flying around. Aracely sighed and spoke “None at all. what's wrong?” Aracely asked. “Well, I just wanted to remind you that you should start getting ready so we can head over to the hospital and start running the tests we need.” Mercedes explained briefly. “Oh yes, you are right!” Aracely said as she facepalmed. She turned her attention back to Angel who seemed to have been discreetly eavesdropping on their loud conversation. “I need to get dressed. We'll talk later" Aracely explained. “Are you sure you will be fine alone?”Aracely heard Angel ask. She smiled and replied, “Of course, I've gotten used to it, the best you can do for me i

“You'd better have a very important reason for calling me here" Aramide spat the moment she locked eyes with Bola. Her steel gaze tore into the woman's skin and if looks could kill — Bola would be buried already. When Aramide had gotten the message from Bola yesterday, She had a hard time contemplating whether or not to come. She knew Bola wasn't a saint. If anything the woman was the devil's candidate but Aramide also knew that Bola was the key to solving her puzzle quickly and completely ruining Tania. Aramide was aware of the fact that Bola knew this and that the woman was exploiting her for it too. But at this rate, she couldn't care less. All Aramide wanted to do was end this madness once and for all.Their location wasn't a warehouse-like the last time, this time they had gone into the desert by the border, in the middle of Nowhere and Aramide had a half mind to just below the woman's head off once and for all. Yes,
ARAMIDE [146] I agree
“I agree" Aramide's was monotone. Void of emotion or any form of feelings. It was thick, heavy like the weight that rested on her shoulders now that she had to do this.It almost felt like Nostalgia. Ten years ago, Dared was the one who had asked her to go and meet Cole. Now, Ironically, Bola is the one asking her to do this. To go and meet Cole— Someone she had spent her whole life forgetting.FLASHBACK“You have to do this, We have to do this,” Dared stated as he came closer to her, “this is about our daughter, she isn't just yours Aramide, I won't let your past make us lose our daughter,” Dared explained painfully.“so what do you what me to do? huh? Should I travel back to London and appear at Cole's doorstep and say, 'Hey, I'm sorry about what happened years ago, you see, I have a child now, she's sick, and you know the best part? she's your
ARAMIDE [147]. Profit and Loss
“W-what?” Mercedes cried.“Well listen, Doctor, it's really hard to determine right now and you know that" The nurse blurted out, She was one of Mercedes' nurses. “There were a few complications” Mercedes stared at her blankly as if she was trying to make sense of what the woman was saying before she pounced on her with more questions.“How is Aracely now? is she alright? is she okay?" Mercedes attacked the woman with questions before she felt Daniel pull her away.“You need to calm down Mercedes, you are scaring her” Daniel pointed to the nurse who was overwhelmed. Mercedes bit her lip.“I'm sorry, I just really want to know, is she okay now? what went wrong?"“All I can say is that she is stabilized, for now, I need to go back to work." The nurse said as she began walking away, Mercedes didn't have enough
ARAMIDE [148] No More.
“You are finally back" Efrain spoke from his seat on the couch in the living room *You are finally awake.” Aramide shot back as she took off her black coat and headed towards a chair to rest“Where did you get the intel?” Efrain asked as he stared at her suspiciously.“Have you verified it?" Aramide asked as she got comfortable on the black sofa in their home.“Yeah—"“So it is Tania's house?”“Didn't you know that before?” Efrain asked as he stared at her.“Doesn't hurt to verify.” Aramide waved off as she relaxed further into the chair.“You seem pretty exhausted. Care to share where you were today?”“No, I've never been a fan of sharing." Aramide stated and stood up

The drive here had been quite bumpy for some reason there was traffic congestion and things escalated from there.Now, she was present in the hospital, walking down the hall to Cole's took after getting the number from the nurse at the reception. Aramide but her lips as she clutched her car keys in her hand. Her curly afro hair was tied in a bun and held with a silver clip. She wasn't wearing anything iconic, just some grey long sleeve shirt and blue jeans. The room number was room 325. Aramide was sure she just passed room 300 and the closer she got, the louder her heartbeat. She was ready right? She had gotten over Cole. this would be nothing but business. her whole didn't revolve around him and even she found it incredibly annoying how he could tamper with her life. she was stronger than this. right?FLASHBACK“W-w

“Aramide" His voice was hoarse and his name a bit off but he had said it, he slowly tried to reach out to touch her but Aramide immediately moved away.FLASHBACK“Cole—”“and what were you gonna do when she grew up asked who her real father was? Were you going to substitute that criminal for me?” Cole asked her with his eyes filled with emotions “Aramide if — If this never happened, would you have even told me?” He demanded as stared into her brown eyes. Aramide was silent, she folded and unfolded her fists, The ground suddenly became so uncomfortable, it was almost like she was stuck in a small box, Unable to do anything.But then again, what right did Cole have? what gave him the audacity to question how she had raised her daughter?
