[23] FIFTY SHADES OF WHAT WE CALLED LOVE
Last Updated:
2021-05-10 06:55:31"What happened?" Daniel demanded the moment he arrived at the Clough mansion. Blaire sighed as she wiped her tears and offered him a sit. He hastily accepted it.
"So, what happened? She was fine when I left two days ago!" Daniel exclaimed. Well maybe she wasn't so fine... but she was alive and not missing!
"I went up to her room the next morning after you left," Blaire sucked in a deep breath as she whispered "She— she wasn't there, Clarissa had vanished"
Aramide's kidnapping had hit her hard, even though she wasn't her real mother — Blaire cared for Aramide as if she were her very own child and nothing compares to when a parent is on the verge of losing their child.
"The police have started their investigation and..." she trailed off. In reality, she had nothing to say, the police hadn't been able to gather anything conclusive or any leads that coul

“Checkmate” Tania smirked as she stared at the frown that was growing on Dared's face, her childhood friend had never been one to deal with defeat, in fact, the man rarely failed. She was the exception though. She had always made that clear. The fair-skinned girl stood up and dusted her clothes, they had been at this for a while going back and forth and she was exhausted. Honestly, when she decided to visit her friend in New York, she hadn't imagined she would spend three days, and now she had been here for more than a week. She wasn't complaining though, Dared was great company, he was smart intelligent, tall, influential, and dominant. Being filthy rich as well — a quality, she admired. To Tania, Dared was anyone's spec, and she hoped to everything he had built and his whole career, that this Clarissa girl he was always rambling about, was a

Tania smiled as the waves of London hit her, the beach had always been her best place to relax and take her mind off her issues. She closed her eyes as she opened her arms wide, The scar on her chest remained on display. Memories played Beneath the darkness that had engulfed her as she closed her eyes. “mom! mom!” Tania cried out as she tried to pull her mother out of the vehicle, but she was stuck, the sight of blood all over the place sent shivers down her spine, she ignored the blood that was currently dripping from her chest, she was sure dripping was an understatement though, as she was bleeding profusely. Tears blinded her vision as she was pulled away from her mother, the Seventeen-year-old saw only red as the car her mother was in exploded, and everything was ruined. Tania's eyes snapped open and a tear slipped.

Blaire paced to and fro in the waiting room her hands visibly shook as she took in heavy breaths while her thoughts were everywhere. Aramide's father was sitting on a chair, His head was rested on the wall and he seemed deep in thought. Blaire let a tear slip as she mumbled something underneath her breath, Memories ran through her mind. "You've become quite popular and feared here, No one wants to get cross with the boss lady,” Blaire said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes "That's exactly what we want, whosoever wants to kill me, must be someone who knows me well, the person must be going crazy wanting to know where I am and how Aramide managed to disappear from the surface of the earth," Aramide said with a smirk "Oh Nana, I can't wait to return to London, I can't wait to board that flight today, it was about time

"You fools! You are useless! You had one job! Just one job! And you failed at that too!" Dared roared as his bench men shrunk in his sight. To say the man was furious would be an understatement, their leads hadn't got them anywhere, apparently, the kidnapper had changed locations and they were back to square one, they had looked everywhere in London, but they had found nothing. Dared frowned as he downed a shot of vodka, He ran his hands through his hair as he sat down in one of the many bars in London. His thoughts were all over the place. He was sure of one thing though, the moment he found the person that dared to lay a finger on his woman he would tear them into tiny little pieces. "Oh, Clarissa" Dared spoke. "You never cease to amaze me" he continued "You and I both know full well that you are mine" "I don't know if you are bold or just plain stupid, but I don't have time to waste on you," Aramide replied sharpl

Jared groaned as he paced back and forth. It had been two hours, two long hours since Cole had managed to escape from right underneath their noses! Jared was sure Aramide had helped him escape. What he didn't understand was why the girl hadn't left with him? Why had she stayed? What exactly was keeping Aramide tied to this place that she had willing told freedom goodbye? The man sharpened his small knife as a frown laced his features, he couldn't care less what she thought anymore, he was going to get rid of his pestering niece today, Soon the cops would arrive. Jared was sure that cole had been singing to them about how Aramide was alive. Every moment was crucial. Each moment was like a drop of water, it could never be gotten back after it was lost, and that was just reality. "Aramide" he gritted out as he stepped into the room, He didn't m

A tear slipped down Blaire's eyes as she cuddled Aramide's picture to her chest, She was currently resting on the wall before she slid down, silently weeping. It had been one week, one whole week, one whole week since Aramide was declared dead, since those test results came in. Since everything went down the drain, They couldn't even give her a proper burial. Blaire sobbed. Her eyes filled with tears that dropped on Aramide's photo, she remembered the photo clearly. "You are right, I don't mean anything to you, I am just your assistant," Blaire said as she proceeded to leave the room "Mother" That word was enough to make Blaire freeze "How can someone I see as my mother, ever say she means nothing to me?" Aramide asked as their eyes locked and Blaire wasted time pulling her into a hug. In the photo Blaire and Aram

The cries of spoons and plates as they were either grazed or stabbed at each other was the only sound present at the Dante Dining table. Each person refused to make eye contact with the other, Sylvia had gotten back from the hospital, and to say the news of Clarissa's death hit her like a bomb would be an understatement, but that wasn't the worst part. The revelation that Bola had taken upon herself to reveal made their worlds shake. As if it wasn't enough, Cole had shown up the next day, with no clear explanation of where he had been or what had happened. The tension could be cut with a knife, Mercedes eyes glanced over the chair that Daniel should be in, Her eyes watered, After her brother's overdose, he was sent to Rehab once again, but this time it was way worse as he had also been informed of the drama surrounding Aramide, He was furious and heartbroken, That girl, that Clarissa or Aramide or whatever her name truly was, She h

Aramide slowly woke up. She realized two things the moment she gained consciousness. One, the sun had already set! She had slept in, There was so much to be done today and she had slept in? She didn't have too much time to ponder about that though as the second realization hit her, she wasn't alone, Her eyes widened as she quickly tried to move away but before her mind could go down the horrific possibilities, Dared gruff morning voice was heard "Are you okay?" He whispered as their eyes, Aramide sighed in relief as she relaxed, "It’s you" She voiced her thoughts. "Just me?!" He chuckled as he stood up, He was currently standing on the bed, Aramide chuckled fondly as the billionaire made a fool of himself even proceeding to do a little dance after he had feigned offense at her initial comment. After the whole drama, they had eventually gone down for breakfast. Turns out Dared had a penthouse in London,

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
