“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.

“Since when did you—"
“Excuse me," Aramide heard someone speak. she averted her gaze to the Doctor standing a few feet away from her.

You are already mad bola, you're already insane, you're a monster!"

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?

Aramide chuckled once again before sitting in an Indian style too, very aware of Daniel's eye digging into her skin, the melanin beauty finally caught her breath and spoke up“don't mind me” she began with a small smile, “it's not every day you see a white billionaire sitting on the ground Indian style”Daniel bit his lip at the racist remark and even though he wanted to say a lot, he knew nothing could change society's view, besides how could he change society when his household was racist, Aramide must have sensed the troubled loo

"Ma'am please evacuate this area. We need to examine these spots." Someone who looked like a Forensic expert told Aramide. She sighed and wrapped her arms around herself to give her warmth. Cole noticed this and wrapped his arms around her as they both walked down the hall away from Daniel's body. Each person with an undeniable heavyweight on their shoulders. ~ “Aramide what happened? We heard a gunshot!” Mercedes exclaimed the moment Aramide and Cole stepped into the room. Aramide's eyes were filled with tears as her lips wobbled, Mercedes looked between them both in confusion. Cole didn't meet anyone's eyes and instead folded his fists tight as he walked over to a corner in the room, Aracely's hospital room. Mercedes glanced at Aracely who want to rest on the bed asleep. “Tell me Aramide, are you alright? What happened?
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.

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
