“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

Silence loomed over them for a while. Aramide held her battered breath as she stared back at the man waiting for him to speak again. Had it been an illusion? was she hearing correctly? did Cole not insinuate that something else apart from what they all knew had happened ten years ago? How was this going to affect their lives now?

But it had dawned on Aramide that the more she tried to move away the deeper she sunk into the web of lies that were laid. It seemed like an unending battle “Twelve years ago...” Cole began.

“What are you saying? what are you insinuating Cole! That's impossible! Bola is Angel's mother, right? So how is it that, Bola is sterile?” Aramide demanded as she glared at her man with furrowed eyebrows.“Angel isn't Bola's son and he isn't my son either. You'll be stunned to find out who Angel's mother is...”“Who is it?”Cole paused and bit his lip, Aramide could see the sadness in his eyes. he was in pain. He grabbed a fist full of the clothing that was laid on his legs and squeezed it before he spoke painfully in a sad voice. “Mercedes...” I found out a month ago that he was Mercedes' son.“That doesn't make any sense, Mercedes is too young to have carried a child at that time, how old was she? 16?

You'll be completely shaken to find out the real Bola.”~“When you came back into our lives so many years ago. A lot of things had already changed— It was all messed up.
