“You have all our support at this time, words will never be able to fully express how sad we are for your loss" Aracely heard Tania say, They were back in the house now and Adrian was behind Aracely, He had pushed her wheel chair into the house, Aracely stared at the woman for a few moments perhaps letting the magnitude of her false far fetched words sink into her mind before she smiled and replied
“Thank you” After all, two could play that game.
“Take care of yourself and welcome to our home, I apologize for how I treated you initially it's just that the issue with Aramide and AA has had me on edge for a while”
“It's fine. we all have our bad days.”
“Thank you sweetie" Tania replied. Aracely bit back urge to roll her eyes at the woman's antics, something was just not right about her behaviour at times, one moment she was all kind and caring and the
Aracely held her breath and she locked eyes with Tania, “if you wanted to kill me, you would have done when you first saw me. yet you let me leave. 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 demanded as she pointed the gun at Aracely's forehead and looked directly at her, her gaze was demeaning and condemning, She casually removed the safety of her gun and continued to stare at Aracely.“Because if you kill me...” Aracely began but the. she raised her hand and held the gun “Adrian will never forgive you”“You little—” Tania was about to speak before she was cut off.“Ma'am" A croaked voic
Aracely had never been a master at manipulation or anything like that, but at this moment she knew she had to throw away all her morals and values if she wanted to survive what was coming to her, Her eye narrowed at the door as the knocking increased.'no, no , no' She thought.Slowly and carefully she wheeled her chair towards the dressing table, her hands shakily reached out to the drawer and her fingers dangled at the tip of the handle, briskly, she drew it out and reached in, Aracely sucked in a breath as she caught sight of the blade sitting there, obviously her plan wasn't to die. but she needed to do something dramatic enough to keep Adrian with her and that was exactly what she was going to do.She winced as she brought the blade down her skin, her lips parted and she continued to mutter how important this was, Latifa death deserved to be avenged and the pain of the blade assaulting her
Tania frowned as tapped on the table that was in the garden, to be honest she was getting worried at this point,it had been a few hours since Adrian retreated inside the house to go and get Aramide, since then he hadn't come back, Tania glanced at Bola who just got off the phone, the woman had a small smile plastered on her lips as she stared her at Tania, Tania bit her lips and smiled back. It was almost a mystery how they had managed to keep their relationship going for this long, the bond had become stronger over time, so strong that they went from being alies to business partners.“Don't you think that he's taking too much time?" 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
Aracely couldn't breathe. 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. Aracely tried get best to break out from the person's grip, the only illumination that had been in the room was that dim lantern that flickered on and off. That damned lantern. It was like she was there again, trapped by fate and in the arms of a stranger, It had been ten years now and Aracely still could not get rid of the dreadful feeling that came over her whenever she thought of that day.Aracely could still recall the moment the light flickered in their direction, her eyes only barely managed to see the scorpion tattoo that rested on the person's wrist and of course the scent of their thick cologne.Aracely gasped for air as her eyes sh
The silence in the air was thick. The tension hung over Aracely's head like meat in a slaughter house, The thought that the door could barge open at any moment made her hands involuntarily shake. It wasn't fear though — more like that feeling you get when you know so much is at stake and one false move could ruin everything.Aracely bit her lip as she wheeled towards the safe, she had been searching the room for the past fifteen minutes and she had found nothing — nothing as incriminating as she needed. The only things that were lying around were minor irregularities that could easily be over looked with the amount of power Tania had. Aracely wanted more, scratch that. She needed more. The formerly Scarlett haired girl wracked her Marin trying to come IP with the right combination for the safe, as pathetic as it may seem, she had considered the idea if having to go through the safe as a last resort but as things stood — she didn't really
“I can't believe this" Bola voiced out as she paced to and fro in her living room, her fists folded and unfolded by her sides, The rich woman sucked in a deep breath as she tried to comprehend the information she had just received.Panic washed over her, this couldn't be happening, How was it even possible, she had calculated everything properly that day, Deep down she hoped that this would be some rumour, that it wouldn't be true and rant her past would not be able to haunt her once again.“Are you sure about this?” Bola demanded, her voice was hick and heavy with emotion.“Yes ma'am, my informant from the hospital told me. In fact, Ariel should still be there” the thug informed.Bola bit her lip in anger, she ran her hands through her hair as continued to pace about the room,&nbs
Cole felt suffocated in his own mind. His thoughts were trapped within his head and the fear that at any moment or with any wrong move he would be bounced back to reality sent his nervous system haywire in so many ways.Although he could not move or feel and definitely not speak, Cole could see and hear. Over the years the man had watched the line blur between right and wrong and every single one of his dreams and aspirations crushed before his eyes.Every since Aramide died — the woman whom he was so deeply in love with Cole had absolutely went numb and the worst part was he knew she was going to get killed yet he couldn't save her, who does that? Cole had to admit. He had caused nothing but pain for Aramide ever since he stepped into her life, From betraying her trust to having a son with her best friend, the list went from bad to worse.FLASHBACK
Aramide paced about the waiting room. Her hands played with the hem of her tee-shirt, she felt nausea build up in her as her stomach churned, her hands shook a bit as she discretely begged her mind to not overthink. Even though it had been ten years already, the place still looked the same, Aramide wasn't sure if it was because they hadn't done many renovations or probably because she was so stuck with the memories of that day that she couldn't get the picture of the place out of her head, A few things were different though. For example, the receptionist wasn't sat wearing their hospital uniform, one that Aramide had painfully gotten used to seeing a few years ago. The receptionist was different too, quite younger than the one that was there the last time, The girl who seemed to be strong cautiously at Aramide as she paced around with the dedication of a child on their first day in high school— seemed no more or less over twenty-five yea
