He had spent another two hours convincing her to put on the stunning necklace and dress that Angel had gotten her as a gift. The boy was a blessing to him and Efrain was incredibly grateful.
The restaurant was top-notch. One of those fancy places people would go to in some soap opera movie. Everyone was either dressed in a tuxedo or a formal suit, The people at the restaurant seemed rather sophisticated and elegant, Efrain had chosen this restaurant because he needed Aramide as far as possible from their home, he needed her to rewind and relax, the events of the past few weeks had been rather &md

“W-what just happened?” Daniel asked. He was astonished by Aramide's reaction. Yes, he hadn't expected her to hug him and be sweet with him, but he didn't think that she would run away from him.“look it's not too late to call this a bad idea—” Efrain tried. At this point, the man was feeling like he had messed up. he should have never agreed to do this, now he was paying for his actions. He hoped that Aramide would forgive him, he had messed things up.“She left— Aramide ran away from me,” Daniel spoke out his thoughts. He was still astonished.FLASHBACK“Leave me alone! what part of I don't want to see anyone didn't you all get?”“Not even me Clarissa?” Daniel spoke."Daniel," she said in a heavy tone.

“Bola! I can't even begin to explain what happened! That girl— that girl is insane! she is mad!” Tania lamented the moment Bola walked into her home, She had taken the woman upstairs into her study so they could have a quiet conversation, the last thing she needed was for her son to hear her talking about that Aramide 2.0 “You need to calm down and feel me exactly what happened, that's the only way I will be able to help” Bola spoke as she plopped down the small couch in the study and stared back at Tania “I cannot be calm Bola! I cannot be calm! that girl barged right into my home and now she wants to steal my son away from me! I won't let this happen, no no way!” Tania whisper yelled as she paced tho and fro in the Study. “Look, I can't help you if you don't tell m, what exactly did she do? and didn't I tell you to get rid of her?" “It's not that easy! it's not easy at all!

“She said that? are you sure she wants to live with me?” Mercedes asked stunned. She was currently sitting on the couch in the living room. it was getting late. Mercedes honestly didn't have it in her to try and grasp what Adrian had said, why would Aracely want to live with her, it wasn't a bad thing, but it was just too easy and too fast, what was going in the girl's mind?“Yes, that's exactly what she said, she— she claims she needs space and she feel unsafe at my house, Mercedes would you please help us out?" Adrian spoke as he took her hands into his, he was currently sitting beside her on the couch, He squeezed her hands and eyes locked, Adrian mentally begged her to agree and Mercedes mentally beat herself up for keeping this secret from him, but his mother, If his mother found out that Aracely was Aramide's daughter, she would kill her and then push down the stairs would be a love tap.No, she had to protect her niece no matt

“You are finally awake” Mercedes spoke as she glanced over at Aracely. the woman was currently sat beside the girl who was perched on the bed, She had woken up better and thus the oxygen mask was removed. She definitely took her sweet time to wake up though — it had been about four days she passed out and Adrian had been drowning in guilt, Mercedes honestly didn't know who to be mad at anymore— Aracely? or Herself for not speaking up and telling Adrian the truth. It was very suspicious how Aracely immediately shifted her moods and behaviour whenever he was around, She would completely transition from her cool and calm mindset into someone that was probably going through trauma, it was obvious that she was manipulating him, but why? why do that to someone you claim to love and care about, why was she playing with his feelings and trying to eat them apart. Mercedes sighed as continued to stare at the girl.

“One day, you are going to look back at all of this Aracely and you will wish you listened to me”Mercedes spoke in a heavy tone.“I will patiently wait until that day Mercedes, but until then, please stay out of my business” Aracely said as a tear fell down her cheeks.“Adrian wants to see you, He's been waiting outside—" Mercedes began“i don't want to see anyone” Aracely bit back, she watched as Mercedes features contorted into that of anger but it seemed like the woman was trying her best to control her emotions, Aracely watched as the woman closed her eyes and opened it again,“He's been waiting to see you for the past few days after that— that — I don't even know what to call it cause I don't you even know you any more!” Mercedes spat“That's where you re wrong Mercedes, You never knew

“Aramide please come out, let's talk this out, please” Aramide heard Daniel's voice from behind the rest room. The melanin beauty ran her hands through her hair and bit her lip as tears stung her eyes, She parted her lips and spoke in an emotion filled voice”please leave, there's nothing to talk about, I don't want to see you”“But you can't run away, and why don't you want to see me? it's been so many years Aramide...” She heard him trial off,silence lingered on for a while and just when Aramide thought he had left He spoke to again“I thought you were dead” Aramide shut her eyes close and let a few tears fall, her fists folded besides her, as always this was a her fault wasn't it.FLASH BACK"You are here" Aramide said as she pulled out of the hug Daniel had trapped her in. The man smiled as he looked her down, Aramide hadn

“I met Aracely few weeks ago,” Daniel's voice was calm and steady, he didn't sound like he was talking about a girl whom until a few weeks ago he had considered dead, the man had become emotionally drained and exhausted. He had hoped meeting Aramide would fix whatever differences they had but instead it just broke whatever bond he though they had.“How did you meet her?” Aramide's monotone voice filled the two pair of ears that sat at the table with her, She stared at Daniel hungrily almost like she was ready to devour whatever string of information was ready to escape his lips, It wasn't until a few hours since she's and finally mustered the courage to get out of the rest room and then they and spent the next hour him a staring contest, neither party was willing to speak and the most uncomfortable was Efrain who seemed to be the third wheel in whatever volcano was about to burst.&ldqu

“You seem better than you looked yesterday” Mercedes' voice was calm. She was dressed in a light blue casual gown and a pearl necklace adorned her neck. “Aren't you going to speak to me? not even today?” She asked as she walked over to Aracely's wheel chair which was facing the mirror instead of Mercedes.It had been approximately seven days since she moved in, Seven days since she had finally gotten off that bed, yes she was still stuck to her wheel chair, but it was progress right? Aracely's eyes darted around then back at the mirror, A small frown played at the top of her plump lips as she glared at the woman's reflection in the mirror. “What exactly do you want?” Her voice was harsh, Void of any kind emotion, Her words pierced through the smile Mercedes had forced herself to wear before walking down to hall to the girl's room.Mercedes' face fell. She could see the glare Aracely was

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
