“Where's my aunt?" Aracely asked again.
“Um, she— she's been hospitalized," The nurse said softly
“What happened to her," Aracely asked as her heart sank
“She got shot."
“Wh—?"
~
“Wh—what do you mean? What do you mean by sh—she got into an accident?” Aracely cried out. The nurse froze. Aracely felt her stomach churn and her eyes watered with tears. “No. No, no, no. It must be Tania who did this" She cried as she got all worked up.
“Ma'am you— You need to calm down! I'll go and get the doctor. " The nurse said and hurriedly left the room filled with Aracely's emotions

Don't you wanna go home and get some rest? You've been here for a while.”“Nah, I wanna be with Mercedes” Aramide allowed a faint smile to grace her lips.“That's an amazing idea" She concluded as she began to walk aw

~“I heard about Aracely" Daniel pointed out. as he took a step closer to Aramide, Whose eyes were locked with Aracely's fragile frame.“You didn't have to come." Aramide whispered.“She's my niece" Daniel pointed out. “She doesn't deserve this.” He said.“No one does." Aramide replied~“I still find it hard to accept that I knew her. and I didn't recognize that she was my daughter" Aramide whispered.“Wait. You already met Aracely?"“I met AA" Aramide replied.“I don't understand," Daniel said as he looked at Aramide carefully.“Aracely used to be AA, A money launderer. We worked together" Aramide said casually“What are you saying? What—How? When? When did this all

~ “You can only send what you've started. there's just never been an us. You are a great guy Daniel, really, But I — I just can't do this right now.” Aramide whispered “That's fine. it's your happiness that matters.” “Thank you so much. you are the first person— Apart from my mom— may she rest in peace— who has told me that.” Aramide said and pulled Daniel into a hug. “Let's just stay friends okay? No true love beats a real friendship.” Aramide explained and left Daniel there. ~ Aramide wrapped her arms around herself as she walked through the halls, her thoughts were everywhere, she still couldn't wrap her head around the fact that Mercedes almost got killed or that Aracely was fighting for her life and the day hadn't even ended yet. What a plague. She plopped down on one of the waiting chairs and rested her body. The

~ "and I still don't, I don't regret keeping my daughter away from you, She would have grown up in fear, the same fear, that I grew up with, and that's not the kind of life I envisioned for my little girl” Cole chuckled as he held her arm and looked her in the eyes “And Leukemia is much better? such great choices Aramide! you are so amazing! so amazing" He commented sarcastically as he abruptly let her go. ~ “You haven't slept a wink since last night, it's fine if you wanna go home and get some sleep" Daniel offered as he stared at Aramide. “I don't need sleep.” She disagreed quietly as she stood up from the chair she and been sat on “I need things to start changing and staying put in here isn't gonna get me what I want.” She announced. “What are you gonna do?"Daniel asked as he glanced over at Aramide. “I'm gonna do what I should ha

~ “oh please cut the crap. I'm as bad as they come I know. But you are worse. Do you know where Bola is?” Aramide asked as she locked eyes with the woman. “How would I know that? And if I knew what makes you think I would tell you that?" “Cause Bola had no issues telling me where you were.” Aramide answered causally and She could see the anger written all over Tania's face. ~ “You are only saying that to piss me off," Tania said as she glared at Aramide. The melanin beauty could see through the woman's facade, she was aware of how Tania's forehead creased and the way she bit her lip. Was it safe to assume that Tania had been suspecting Bola too? But if she knew, why hadn't she confronted her? Aramide waved those thoughts off. “You know I couldn't care less about whether or not you get pissed off, you aren't that relevant.” Aramide pointed ou

~ “Because I had no choice, I wasn't gonna repeat my mother's mistakes. I wasn't gonna let my daughter grow up without a father, with no one to love or care for her if I was gone. I didn't want her to get bullied at school because she didn't have a dad like other kids. I didn't want her to look at me one day and ask; Mummy where's my dad?” Aramide said as she locked eyes with Tania's blurry eyes. “why is that so hard to understand?” Aramide asked “Because I can't relate Aramide. Your uncle stole that right from me. I can't have kids, so how would I know how it feels to be a mother huh?” ~ Daniel breathed as he sat beside Mercedes' hospital bed. He ran his hands through his hair and stared at the woman. His breath hitched and he bit his lip as tears threatened to spill from his eyes. Mercedes didn't deserve this. She had no reason to be entangled in their mess, yet here s

~ “Oh it isn't, I know who planned that accident. Who ruined my life and took Dared away from us.” Aramide informed her. “Wait what? Who was it?” Tania asked as she stared at Aramide intently. “Are you sure you want to find out?” Aramide asked as she stood up. “ Cause this is gonna hurt. A lot.” “Who was it? Speak up already Aramide!” Tania yelled. “Bola Hampson Dante.” ~ “Why are you hellbent on blaming Bola for everything?" Tania spat. “Bola was the one who planned everything. She is the mastermind behind this whole madness.” Aramide explained as she sat down. “Bola might not be the kindest or sweetest person in the world but she isn't a traitor.” Tania defended Aramide chuckled. “I'm

Now that Aramide had Tania on her side, a lot of things would be done easier.~Aramide groaned as she walked out of the warehouse. The sun was up in the skies and she could not wait to get some rest— it was no secret though that she was as far from rest as the sun was from her.

ARAMIDE [197] THE END
“I never imagined things would end like this mom,” Aracely’s hands traced the table as she stared at the mirror. She was in her mother’s dressing room getting ready and the brown-haired girl was almost sure that she was going to fall into the nearest bed and doze off. Aracely had no one else to blame but herself though. The nineteen-year-old knew that it was a horrible idea to go out partying all night yesterday which was Christmas, knowing fully well her parents’ wedding was today. “You still took stunning” Aramide commented as she finished up on her makeup. Aracely bit her lip and smiled. The brown-haired girl pulled her mother’s chair back and knelt in front of the woman. “I’ve never told you this but…” she paused. Her breath hitched and her eyes watered with fresh tears. “Thank you” Aracely breathed. Aramide’s eyes glistened with emotion but before she could speak, Aracely took the woman’s hands into hers, “Thank you so much for being my mother for –“ “Aracely, what’s g
ARAMIDE [196] LET’S REUNITE
“I didn’t believe it when I heard it.” Aracely said when she caught the reflection of a brown haired boy with green eyes at the familiar lake. Her fingers tugged on her white gown as she struggled to breath through her tears and the warm feeling in her chest. She took a step forward and ignored the pain that shot up in her foot when she hit a small rock. She could remember the night she had found this place.Or better still that she had fallen off.She had just left her home for fresh air after her small argument with Latifa- Latifa. Aracely still struggled to accept that she was gone. They had spent their best years together, struggling through the twisted maze they called life. Aracely knew Latifa didn’t deserve to die, no one did. But she was dead. She got she got straight to the head no freaking questioned asked and why? Because she was related to Aracely. Aracely grew up understanding the meaning of l
ARAMIDE [195] It's finally over.
“You did it,” Bola whispered as she stumbled back, a bit of blood escaped her lips as her hands went to her stomach which had blood rushing out of it. At this point, everyone had frozen and Aramide let the gun fall out of her hands as tears filled her eyes “ I knew you had it in you.” Bola said as she fell. Aramide’s hands covered her lips as her feet remained glued to the ground. She felt someone hold her from behind and it was then she realized from the strong scent of lavender that it was Cole. Tears filled Aramide’s eyes and she couldn’t tell if it was tears of relief or sorrow, she finally regained control of her limbs and walked over to Bola. She knelt in front of her and said “I’ll never understand how and why you did this? I’ll never be able to accept that you have always been like this…” “A monster?” Bola replied hoarsely as a tear rolled down her cheeks, she was laid on the ground her
ARAMIDE [194] I won't make the same mistake twice.
The first thing Aramide noticed as she walked down the aisle was Aracely’s wide smile, her daughter looked so pretty. She was wearing a short pink gown and had a white bow on her brown hair, it was tied in a ponytail, the wedding was to take place in the garden and Aramide had to admit that Mercedes had done a great job with the decorations, the aisle had been designed with roses, not too far ahead. Efrain stood by one of the two pillars that held up the small space where the couple was to stand under. The chairs that were set in the garden were white, the scent of thick lavender filled the air, it was Aracely’s favorite scent and Aramide could vaguely remember that the scent lingered on Cole too. Aramide mirrored the smile on her daughter’s face, she was holding hands with someone – Cole. Aramide wasn’t sure she remembered when they had gotten together, but over the past two months, they had gotten closer. Ar
ARAMIDE [193] This is the right decision, isn't it?
Aramide sighed as she stared into the mirror, she was dressed in a white gown and had a beautiful tiara on her newly styled hair. Her hands traced the jewelry on her neck and rested on the space between the jewelry and her off-shoulder dress – where the amulet rested. The one that bound her to her daughter for so many years. It had been a few months since Daniel died. Since he was buried and since Aracely had broken down in pain. The first few months had been horrible, Aracely barely ate or moved around, she was confined to the four walls of her room. Mercedes was devastated. She refused to look or even speak to Aramide. She blamed the brown-skinned woman for her brother’s death and she wasn’t wrong, to be honest. She was right. Aramide could still visualize the compounded images or Mercedes’ eyes with dark circles and her lips pursed into a line. Cole’s deep stares and sighs. The way his hands slowly ran through his
ARAMIDE [192] The alignment.
Bola groaned as she slowly opened her eyes, well, one eye. The thick smell of smoke filled her nostrils and she scrunched it up. She bit her lip as she glanced around, she knew something was wrong, yet she hadn’t been able to pinpoint what it was. She could recall going over the hospital that Aramide had been in to get Cole back. That man knew too many of her secrets and now, Aramide knew then too, she could also recall that Aramide had refused to let her take Cole. An argument ensued and things got a bit bloody from there, but how did this happen though? Had she been caught? Was she in prison? She desperately needed answers now. The blonde woman looked around from her place on the bed, she was slowly becoming aware of everything around her, the small night lamp beside the bed, the fact that the w
ARAMIDE [191]. Rest in peace Daniel
Aramide let out a shuddered breath as she walked towards the coffin in front of her. The coffin that had Daniel inside. She traced her hands over it and her eyes filled with tears all over again. it had been a few days already. They had all stalled the burial because Aracely insisted that she wanted to be there and deep down everyone was scared and reluctant to say goodbye. Nevertheless, they were all here now. The loss had always been a pain in the neck. Death? death never knocked — It never warned you — It never gave notice and it didn't even barge in. It came like a thief and it stole. it stole someone's life— someone's peace of mind — someone's source of happiness, someone's brother, sister, mother, father, daughter, son. Today Aramide had to say goodbye to someone who always wanted her to stay. She bit her lip. You only really know what you had till you lose it. till a
ARAMIDE [190]
Bola grunted in pain as she continued down the sidewalk, stumbling into things as she struggled to see with only one eye open. She dragged herself across the ground as she tried not to fall unconscious. One of her hands was over her eyes with a cloth — trying to control the bleeding. Bola was sure that if she survived this—she would make Aramide pay for all the pain she was going through and the fact that she may lose her eye. After everything Aramide had taken from her, now, she wanted to steal her eyesight too? the woman was despicable in Bola's opinion. Bola knew that the probability of her surviving this was very slim. Yes, she had managed to escape before the cops arrived, but that didn't mean that there wasn't this lingering fear of what would happen if she got caught. The last thing she needed was to end up in a maximum prison cell for Daniel. That man wasn't w
ARAMIDE [189] She'd better be dead
“What's going on? Why is no one speaking up?” Aracely asked with worry etched on her features. She had just woken up, her hands clawed on the sheets as she tried to stabilize herself. It was obvious she was still weak and probably disoriented as well with the way her eyes navigated around the room, curiously breaking through her face like wrinkles. “It's not—" Mercedes tried but Aramide cut her off. “You need to be strong Aracely.” Aramide said as she walked over to her and held her hand, a smile spread across the girl's face. ”You are here,” She sighed in relief as her eyes filled with tears, they weren't of sorrow — yet. Aracely reached out for her mother and squeezed the woman's hands tight “What about Daniel? Where is he?" Aracely asked she tried to find him in the occupied room but Aramide was blocking her view. “He didn't come with? Did he go get something? Is he talking to s
