“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. Bola is

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?

How much more does Aramide lose to find herself in this chaos? ~ “Daniel you know I never thought I would see a day like this.” Aramide said as she ran her hands through his hair which was wet with blood “The day I would lose you. You have been nothing but kind to me and you warned me. you warned me to not give in to Bola. I'm sorry I didn't listen.” “Don’t go out there.

“The cops are here" Cole whispered.“They are late as usual. ” Aramide whispered back as she bit her lip and wiped her tears. “They have always been late. just like me” She whispered.FLASHBACK“w-why are you staring at me like that,” he asked as his eyebrows creased in confusion. 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. 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
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 [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

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
