Bola could still vividly remember the day she had met Cole for the first time, her family had decided to go camping. During their activities, she noticed something strange sending flashlights in their direction. she was five back then and she was dangerously curious, her parents had been too engrossed in trying to make the tent secure and perfect that they didn't realize their daughter had slipped away, with a rough yank she had reached for the lights when her hands met a camera and her eyes locked with the beginning of her end —Cole Dante.
The boy had gotten lost from his parents and Bola's parents had offered to help him find them, They had eventually found his family the next day and a few hours was all that was needed for Bola to form a strong bond with Cole, ever since then they had been inseparable.
Cole had been the first person she had told of Aramide's Arrival in London, She wasn't in love with
Daniel threaded his hands through his hair, his eyes trailed over the pictures that rested on his bed over and over again and the voices rang in his head, guilt pierced his skin and his thoughts were jumbled. The place was a mess, he was a mess. he was going insane.FLASHBACK“thank you” Aramide whispered as she pulled herself from the well-needed hug Daniel had given her, the man only gave her a small smile as he sat on the ground Indian style, Aramide chuckled, Daniel raised an eyebrow seemingly confused as to what was amusing.“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
“Is he back?” Tania asked as she sipped her black coffee from the cup in her hands, she was dress in a black body con dress and had a small bracelet grace her wrist, Her eyes remained glued to the coffee mug as she asked the demanding question.“No ma'am hasn't returned since yesterday” Adele, Adrian's nanny replied. Adrian had been very attached to the woman from the orphanage, After he got adopted he was so distressed from being away from her that he got seriously ill and Tania had no other choice but to let the woman come live with them.Tania groaned as she placed her coffee down “He's been doing this for the past few months, leaving and not coming back until two days later, what is going on with my son?!" Tania threw her mug against the wall and Adele flinched. The woman's gaze rested on her shoes as she refused to meet Tania's eyes.“You have one responsibility — to keep my
FLASH BACK"Do you love me a lot mom, are you sure?" Tania asked as she pulled away she looked into her mother's eyes."Yes of course, I would do anything for you""Anything?" Tania asked as an evil smile crept onto her lips"Anything, whatever you want my love" Blaire said as she embraced Tania again, she was too elated to notice that a lot of things were off about this reunion for starters why did Tania have to kidnap her? What was Tania into? Twenty years was a long time, and Blaire would soon know, what distance does to a person.Tania held her tight as she whispered "I want you to kill Aramide""What?" Blaire said as she immediately broke out of the hug her face contorted with confusion as she tried to wonder whether or not she had heard right, did her daughter just ask her to kill someone or was she getting old? Not just anyo
Latifa knew her foot steps were undeniable loud, the way her sandals grinded into the ground compressing the soil with all the rage she didn't have anyone to vent out on, On her face were dried tear tracks, Her eyes were reddened — as if drenched in blood of just a lighter shade. Her hands trembled as she reached for the coffin in front of her —yes a coffin, that was all that remained of Her aracely, the more she thought about it the more her stomach churned and tears stung her eyes, She felt someone place their hand on her shoulder, maybe for support, her mind was too clouded to decide. It was a small gathering in the woods, they tried to pick somewhere isolated so they wouldn't get attacked and the ceremony wouldn't be disrupted, Not many came, just those within their inner circle, although the knews of AA's death was an open secret, Latifa just couldn't accept an audience, it's not what Aracely would have wanted.
“Latifah" Aracely breathed as a year slipped down her eyes, She bit her lip as she stared at the girl in front of her, the girls eyes were filled with tears, but a broad smile had spread across her face. Aracely noticed that Latifa seemed a bit hesitant, so she wheels her wheel chair a bit and covered the distance between them”Ace?" Aracely heard a voice say, but she wasn't too bothered about who was talking about what, all she was concerned about was that she was finally able to reunite with her sister, The girl she had grown up with, the other piece of her. Latifa was like Aracely's only tie to life, Growing up Aracely could never count the number of times latifa had stood up for her, the girl had always been ready to defend her and protect her, even if she couldn't, she was always there, like that pillar of assurance that Aracely had desperately needed at that time.When she had left Mercedes house, She had thought that
FLASH BACK Aracely giggled as Latifa tried to clean off her face which was stuffed with cake. it had been Latifa's twelve year birthday and both girls were elated. Aracely was even more excited than the celebrant herself, Latifa didn't seem to be having much fun though, after all she had been the object of Aracely's pranks all day. the twelve year old girl folded her hands in front of her as if to show her dissaproval before she stumped her foot and spoke. “This isn't fair!" She said with a big frown. “ugh, you are soo boring lati! it's a prank" Aracely said in a monotone voice, Latifa rolled her eyes and replied fiercely. “one of these days you are going to be the end of me!"The girl had yelled with a big frown. Aracely only giggled in response. END OF FLASH BACK It was no secret that Aracely had a trail of bodies behin
"A-Adrian?" Aracely's hoarse voice croaked out, Her mind could barely register what she was seeing, her fists were freed and her body felt limp as she stared back at him like dead meat, she tried not to connect the dots, not to add each point bit by bit, but it was so obvious, the guns in the hands of the men that were around him, The woman who stood beside him, whom for some reason seemed so familiar, The words tugged on Aracely's tongue like rubber being dragged and each time she bit back her words she felt stung.The silence had began to choke everyone and the tension had increased ten folds, Adrian had already orders the men to put their guns — which had been initially pointed at Aracely — Down. Aracely parted her lips and spoke"A-are you responsible for this massacre?" She asked in almost a whisper, her eyes threatened to spill tears but that was only a bluff as she bit her lip and held them back."Ara&m
Aracely stared out the window lost in thought, Her eyes carefully monitored the preparations that were going on down stairs, It was been a few hours since she had arrived at Adrian's home and she had gathered a bit of information from him, His mother — the irritable murderer — Was actually a drug trafficker just her, Apparently they were under the impression that AA had been trying to steal clients, Aracely had to bite her lip at that though, because — she never had to find clients. They were just always there, attracted to her like bees to honey, So why would she steal something that was always hers?Her thoughts retracted to and fro and Aracely didn't really know how to feel at the moment, yes she was feeling pain, anger and guilt, but above all she was feeling hate, So much hate, She felt like there were flames burning inside of her and the only way for them to get quenched was when she had the dead bodies of Tania and Ad
