“Some coffee?” Aramide heard Daniel speak, She turned and locked eyes with him.
“Thank you so much for everything,” she said as she stood up and collected the cup of coffee from him.
“Where are you going to?"
“I need to make some urgent calls. 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

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
ARAMIDE [168] I can't relate
~ “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

~“I don't understand you Aramide"“Your goal shouldn't be to understand me. You need to focus on remembering everywhere that woman may be. While I— I will make a plan so big, Bola's conspiracies will be shrunk” Aramide announcedThis time. The player was going to get played. 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. She ran her hands through her head and walked to her car, the door had been held open for her.Aramide was in the car and struggled to control her thoughts. Her mind kept wandering back to Tania.FLASHBACK“Because I had no choice, I wasn

Daniel ran his hands over his face as he placed about the room. He tried his absolute best to focus on anything but Mercedes' cries. of course, he failed miserably. He could still remember how she wrapped her hands around herself and cried. She sobbed. Letting her emotions rack through her skin like she sobs that escaped her bruised lips. She had been bitting them for a while now. Mercedes had dried tear tracks on her face that were renewed by the ones that we're currently rolling down her cheeks. It had been five hours. Five hours since he was dragged out of there because of her panic attack. Daniel paused and walked down the halls towards the exit. His fists were folded by his sides. His fingers dug into his nails. He kept his face blank. Void of Al the emotions that were threatening to break the walls he had sworn would protect him until now. He couldn't breathe. He couldn't breathe at all. But he had to be strong right? He was
