2021-07-02 23:08:51Aramide's fingers grazed over the picture that rested in her arms, her eyes watered with unshed tears as her bottom lip wobbled. Memories raced through her head as she tried to shush the hurricane within her.
It had been ten years now. And nothing, absolutely nothing had changed. to the whole world, she was dead, just like dared and her daughter — Aracely, but aramide had been alive and she had spent the last ten years trying to find the person who murdered her family.
The picture frame in her hands looked old, more like something that would suit some antique museum in the south or something, it was gold-framed, and in the picture Aracely was holding Dared's hands, trying, as usual, to force the man to do something less boring, the man had just returned from work though, and playing chess with his competitive daughter wasn't what he needed
Aramide had barely shown in the photo, she remembered bursting

ARAMIDE [64] REWIND
***“Look sweetie, we are here, I'll get her and be right back,” Aramide said as she scooted to get down of the car but she didn't expect Aracely to hold her hand tight, She could feel the girl's nails digging into her sensitive skin.Aramide turned and locked eyes with Aracely, Fear, and discomfort was written all over her features, for a moment where she just wanted to forget the doll and stay in the car holding her daughter tight, but Aracely them whispered “You'll come back after you get daisy Momma? Then we will have our Christmas?” Aramide felt choke as a feeling struck her, her own eyes watered with tears and she didn't have the strength to wipe them away, Aracely did though, reaching out to her mother's cheeks she wiped away the tears and with a watery smile said“I love you, momma, Come back okay” she had whispered with so much emotion, A

Aracely breathed fresh air as she walked around the beach, watching the waves and tides go up and down, waver and them settle, she was wearing a black bikini with a black flannel, Sunglasses were delicately perched over her nose, resting carefully on them, She bit her lip as she paused mid-walk, now finally taking time to stare at the water, what was the event? Christmas. Christmas was coming soon.FLASHBACK“momma” Aracely whispered, the eight-year-old was sat on Aramide's lap as everyone celebrated Christmas. Dared had tried to play with the girl or even get her to just 'hang out with him, but she disagreed, Apparently in need of her mother's touch.“Yes, princess?” Aramide gingerly replied as she locked eyes with her little princess, the eight-year-old was wearing a blue princess gown and had a little wand in her hands, the combo was Aracely's idea, so Aramide just went along with it.&n

The man's foot assaulted the ground as he took slow yet heavy steps towards his destination, his fists clenched and unclenched, his eyes glossed over as a shade of rage surfaced on his features— That was probably why when he barged into the room where he was heading even the security didn't have it in him to stop him. The man was in his lateo thirties. He had a well trimmed beard and was fair skinned, he had blue eyes which could leave anyone mesmerized, The people around him knew him, they knew when his mood changed like moments like these it was better to leave him and watch like a spectator for the movie to play out The walls were adorned with Marble, this place was definitely expensive — but that did nothing to soothe the anger inside if him, bubbling up and twisting around like knots in his empty stomach, the same one he had left unfed when he barged out mid breakfast just to have this encounter. &n

The woman’s hills carefully clicked on the marble tiles. Silence fell on the space she had walked in immediately, one could even hear the sound of the thick terrified breaths from the people around her. Her face scrunched up in disgust as she walked through the halls of her company— In her opinion those petty workers who worked for her couldn’t it rite her more even if they tried. Her eyes narrowed at the cleaner who seemed to be doing a flimsy job at cleaning, How hard was it to hurry up and do a job she was sure she over paid them for? “You” her icy tone pierced through the tense atmosphere as she narrowed her eyes and glared at the Janitor who was trying her nest not to break down at the sight of the woman, She had heard stories about the woman, horrific stories that could send chills down anyone’s spine. Once it was even rumored that she sold or assaulted some of the worker who had even dared to graze her shoes, such was the ca

“You'd better start spilling your words before I make you" Bola threatened. A broad smile spread across Ace's face as she stared back at the woman, she gently and carefully sat down on the chair that was opposite Bola's chair, she let out a comfortable sigh before she spoke “Angel....he told me about you..." She trialed off as she locked eyes with the woman “You are a despicable being" “how dare you, you little—” “first of all, you will address me with respect, I am not your employee, and secondly, the name is Ace, but the people I work with call me AA” Ace watched as Bola's FAC completely drained and lost color, from that little information almost anyone could deduce who she was and why they should keep their head down when ever they addressed her. She grinned. It was the Ace effect, Her name had spread across every single city including London, no one knew what she looked like or how old she wa

The sound of spoon assaulting plates filled the air, there was thick tension in the air that no one dared to break through, at least not Adriana, He sat on the other side of the table as he watched his adoptive mother glare at the food she was served, today, she wasn't even trying to hide the anxiety and stress that had swallowed her for the past ten years but Adriana knew the cause and he bore his mother's hatred filled intentions too, it was all their fault that his mother had gone through so much, and when he found them — they were going to pay "Did you speak to the commissioner today?" Tania's icy tone filled the air snapping Adrian out of his thoughts, the boy nodded as he paused and stopped eating, his eyes locked with his mother's icy ones but he seemed unfazed instead he offered a small smile which the woman reciprocated. "Do you want to get some rest? At least until the commissioner can narrow down this case? With all this

“What happened to her?! and who is she?!” Mercedes screeched as she watched Adrian place this anonymous girl carefully on the bed in her lap. “it's literally 2:30am in the morning what were you doing out there?" The woman demanded as she looked the girl over, the girl seemed to still be in her teens, Mercedes didn't even want to think what could have gotten her into the bloody state. “She rolled down into the valley, I think she broke a few bones.” Adrian tried to specify, Mercedes rolled her eyes “obviously! she is literally dead!”She agreed bashfully as she tried her best to get the girl settled down setting up an oxygen tank and other utilities she had kept up in her lab, although many people considered her a doctor, she was actually a scientist. After her mother's death, Mercedes was completely traumatized, she had never thought that losing the woman hurt her so much to that extent, Si

“D-dad?” Aramide echoed as her limbs suddenly became heavy and her gun slipped from her hands and fell down echoing through out the room. Richards eyes filled with tears he watched his daughter — she was alive! she's was actually alive! Aramide wasn't dead! his Clarissa his daughter wasn't dead like he had believed for the past ten years! He didn't know how to feel or what to do in that moment, his hand shook as his limbs moved closer and closer to his daughter who seemed to be frozen in her spot as tears filled her eyes and when he was close enough he reached out but she caught his hand, their eyes locked for a few moments, then she held his face almost as if even she wanted to check if this was indeed real, if he was indeed here. Aramide refrained from speaking to her after for the past few decades because she's wasn't sure if she was ready to face him, she wasn't sure if she could take it, if she could fac

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
