[82] MANIPULATION
"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.

ARAMIDE [84] GOODBYE LATIFAH
Silence. The silence was so loud. It carried about the ashes of memories, walking by and sprinkling their memoirs like carriages. it was the kind of silence that could choke you without holding you, the silently toxic kind, slowly circling you as if it were playing a childhood game and then... bam. you are dead The casket was white —Latifa's favorite color, She loved bright colors and her favorite was white, Aracely could still recall teasing her and reminding her that even in the color of white, there were still shades, but then Latifa had replied, but in black, there is no shade of white. In every good person, there is a bit of evil, an evil that is suppressed by their values and honor and honestly, but it doesn't take much to bring out the black in every person.

Besides don't ever be under the impression that I am scared to die, because I have nothing to lose. on the other hand you..." Aracely trailed off before a smile spread cross her lips and she spoke again. “You have everything to lose,"“What do you mean by that?"

Tania asked referring to Adrian.“I don't think so, maybe they got held up or something” Bola shrugged as she sipped her wine “You need to cool off, you seem pretty hesitant about him being this Aramide girl” Bola said the name w
ARAMIDE [89] PLANS

She trashed and tried to release her self from the grip she was in, She felt like she was there again, Helpless and unable to move or speak as the hand that was clasped over her lips made it hard for her to even breathe, she kicked.
