They both looked drained and stress, Aramide looked like she could collapse at any moment, and Efrain? Well, Efrain looked like he was barely hanging on.
“It seems like you were waiting, what is it? Did something go wrong?” Aramide deadpanned as she stared at him with a blank expression on her stressed features, her forehead creased and the edge of her lips curled downwards. Her hands were loose by her side as she casually walked into the sitting room and sat on the nearest chair to the exit. Neither men spoke or tried to do anything during this time, it almost felt like their limbs weren’t working, on one hand, Efrain had never thought he would meet this side of Aramide, the side that was dominated by the personality of ariel she portrayed.
On the other side, Cole was still finding it hard to accep

Aramide felt her heartache in her chest, she could barely breathe as her knees buckled. She fell to the ground beside her shattered phone. Her eyes filled with unshed tears and her lip wobbled. How could this be? Why hadn’t she seen this coming? This was exactly what she feared and it was coming to pass, Bola was one step ahead of her. Aramide choked on her thoughts as she wiped the tears that threatened to fall down her cheeks. She needed to stop this, she needed to stop bola, but how? She no longer felt like she would be enough to put an end to that menace, it had barely been twelve hours since she left the warehouse, and bola had not only found the place and gotten rid of all her men, but she also killed Tania while she was at it. Tania. Aramide never had the best relationship with her step-sister, they were always at loggerheads with each other, the woman couldn’t pinpoint why

The car ride to the hospital was silent. One could hear the sound of their breaths as Efrain drove as fast as he could towards the hospital. Aramide’s fingers dug into her nails as she stared right ahead trying to focus on everything but the thoughts that were running through her mind, the fear that she might get there but it would be too late tormented her, the thought that Tania was already there and could hurt her daughter crushed her heart over and over again. She clenched and unclenched her jaws as she blinked to clear the tears that had piled up in her eyes. Aramide wasn’t stupid. She knew she could probably be freaking out for no reason, but the voices in her head opposed that, just to be safe, she was heading over there, “Efrain,” she called. Her voice was even lower than when she had spoken in the office, her lip was bruised from all the times she unconsciously bit on it in her anxious state. ”I’m gonna call Daniel and ask him what

Aramide's eyes glossed over as she held her daughter tight. she had dreamt of this moment for oh so long. The moment she would get to him her daughter in her arms, she never thought this day would come, she had been so scared that her daughter would reject, she had lost her so many times but in the end, they were like two pieces of an amulet, They complete each other. For so many years Aramide has had to live with the void in her heart. The one that constantly ate her up and whatever humanity she had left in her. Tears and pain had struggled for years to fill that void. Yet they constantly failed. Right now, Aramide felt more complete than she had ever in her lifetime. Or maybe she was just never complete, Right from the start. She increased the intensity of the grip as sheet her daughter sob into her while she did the same. They desperately needed this cry of relief, this moment would be engraved on their minds like ten years when they

“Sweetie, I'll even get back with your dad, I'll do whatever you want, I'll let you run around in the house, I'll make your dad stop work so he can be with us all the time, but please come back, I'm begging you, please Aracely, I am here like I promised, please come back to me!” She cried as she fell to the ground and rubbed herself against it, as some sort of hug for Aracely Aramide kept looking at the skies and the clouds as if waiting for some sort of Miracle, as if waiting for God himself to come down and change her situation or at least bring her daughter back, she just wanted to say goodbye this time, Just goodbye. ~ Aramide ran her hands through her daughter’s hair as she helped her lay back down. “what is the doctor’s saying about me, mommy?” Aramide heard Aracely ask. “I haven’t spoken to anyone since I arrived, I was, I was just really desperate

“T-Tania wasn't the one who ordered the hit on us that day.” “No, momma, I saw her, I saw the tattoo on her hand from that, she hates you so much" “no, it was Bola, Bola was the one who ordered that day, Bola Hampson Dante. And that's not all, she killed Tania too" Aramide said as she locked eyes with her daughter. Silence fell on the room for a while. It was mostly occupied by Aracely's thoughts. Aramide sighed as she rested against her chair. Sure, this wasn't how she hoped the conversation would go or anything like that, but this was what was going on now she had to face it right? “Since when did you—" “Excuse me," Aramide heard someone speak. she averted her gaze to the Doctor standing a few feet away from her. “I'll have to ask you to leave because I need to check on the lady h

~ “If I ever get to have a child, can I name it Aramide or Mide?” “Mercedes you—You—” “I understand if you want to say no" Mercedes quickly added. “of course, yes. I would love that, I'm honored. I just hope he/she doesn't have the same fate as this Aramide." “Well, I hope that he/she is as strong as the Aramide in front of me,” Mercedes whispered. “Thank you, Mercedes, thank you everything." Aramide finally whispered after a while ~ “Get well soon,” Aramide said as she reached out to squeeze Mercedes's hand for comfort. It was then it happened. The first gunshot rang through their ears and a scream followed. Aramide’s head turned at a pace she would have assumed was inhumanely possible, her jaws clenched as panic raced throughout her body, she locked eyes with Mercedes’ horror-filled eyes

“what are you looking at?” She asked briskly “You've changed...so much" Cole whispered “When reality hits, A person is forced to change" Aramide spat as she pulled out her phone to call Efrain. She needed to know what was going on in the hospital. this was getting out of hand. ~ “This is getting out of hand,” Cole said as they ran behind the building to get shelter from all the bullets flying around, he was breathing heavily while Aramide slid to the ground beside him, her phone against her ear and a worried expression plastered over her face. “What’s wrong?” cole asked as he glanced over at her before looking around. “I’ve been trying to reach Efrain and ask how everyone is but he isn’t picking up my calls, it won’t take long before things escalate and I don’t want anything to happen to my family.

~ “Aramide this, Aramide that, it was driving me insane!

You are already mad bola, you're already insane, you're a monster!" Aramide spat “...the monster you created.” Bola shot back as she rested on the wall, blood slowly dripping from her mouth. ~ “You are disgusting” Aramide spat. Bola chuckled loudly. “What huh? Does it infuriate you? Does it hurt that I’ve always been one step ahead of you” Bola gritted out and laughed in Aramide’s face? A drop of blood raced down her face and she licked it when it reached her cheeks “You’ve always been like this, haven’t you?

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

“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
