England, (Cookie)

Author's note: some chapters would be in a first persons POV from now on. Note that. Thanks.

.....

Something soft hit my head but I continued sleeping, then a nip on my skin followed by slaps on my poor leg but I just couldn't open my eyes, they were heavy with sleep. 

Then the unexpected happened, a pair of hands dragged my legs downwards, I struggled to stay on the bed as I gripped the sheets but it seems like my efforts was not enough because the next thing is i fell face flat on the floor.

  Deardre's POV:"He left. We tried calling him but he won't answer his calls"I was disappointed "no problem, I knew it was useless afterall-""Deardre, I'm really sorry""it's not your fault Cookie, no need to be sorry"She shook her head "no, no, I raised false hopes in you and then this? I'm really sorry"."you should really stop saying sorry to the smallest things, including the ones you didn't do. If Jordan really loves me and if it was meant to be, then he'll come back" I told her.she was about to open her mouth and say something when a knock distracted her, she walked to the door and opened it in a way I couldn't see the person that had knocked.First, it seems like she wanted to shout at the person then she stopped, turned around to look at me, gave me a weird wink and left the room.I decided to g

  Cookie's POV:"Deardre, you are walking too slow.""I'm tired." she whined behind me and tried to catch up with me.I rolled my eyes inwardly. "you are always tired.""C'mon, why won't I be tired? It's not easy to breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide everyday, now is it?."I shook my head and listened to the sound of my slippers slapping against the market cemented floor as i take each step.I love how the market is full of life and always a beehive of activities. Men butchering meats, women fishes. Little kids hawking different types of things like, sachet pure water, mangos, drinks, beans roll, soya milk and e.t.c.What I do not like was how the dust and dirt stick to your clothes or leg while walking. How you needed to walk a long distance before finally buying all the stuffs you needed.Also, I do not like th

  "You can't get married to a white woman!" King Obi repeated in a much louder and angry voice.We all freezed in shock and fear that I think I was no longer breathing. I felt Deardre was about to cry so I gave her hand a little squeeze to encourage her."papa like I said, she is my choice and we have a son already." Prince Chinonso said in a more apologetic voice, like he was trying not to get offended by his parents reaction when he told them he wanted to get married to Deardre.We had arrived at the village an hour ago, we enjoyed the ride here. The village smelt of mostly cassava, it was Sandy and quite bushy with alot of kids singing and playing around.The palace was beautiful and big, more like everything I was expecting it to look like but I wasn't expecting King Obi to react this way.I was expecting Queen Obi or princess Amanda to react this way but not him."have

  "Amanda, you are overreacting." Fabby stood inbetween the both of us, preventing Amanda from hitting me with the edge of her high heel."leave me let me deal with this slut""I am not a slut." I shouted back at her."then what are you? When you go about kissing someone else's man." I said nothing cause I was guilty, I held back my tears."why are you making this a big deal Amanda? It was just a kiss, by the way she was drunk."I wish Fabby didn't have to say it was just a kiss but I was grateful that he was defending me even if I knew I wasn't that drunk.I did it on purpose."Fabby are you blind? Can't you see that she's the enemy of progress? She doesn't want us to get married cause she is jealous." her words really hurt me even if it wasn't exactly true.she made a move to hit me only this time it was Tolu, whom gripped her arm

  Cookie's P. O. V.The past few days have been wonderful. My parents are so glad to have me back and I can't be more happy.Deardre and Jordan are happy too. They'd inform me some days ago that their white wedding would take place in England.Fabby decided we buy some things at the mall before we all travell to England for the wedding so that's how we found our self's picking some stuffs I needed at the mall in Lagos. "I'll be back..I think I need to pee." I told Fabby. He only gave a nod and I rushed to the bathroom. Inside the bathroom, I did my thing and as I was rushing out, I bumped into someone.

  "prepare yourself for this chapter."****I woke up with a slight headache the next day. I sat up on my portable bed while massaging my temple and squinted my eyes cause of the lights coming from the lights.Nepa keeps the light steady these days.. Maybe a popular politician is in town unless the lights would have been disco instead. On and off.I sighed and then looked around my room, suddenly remembering that the last place I was was in my living room. Funny thing I can't remember exactly what happened. Maybe it was because of the headache I was having that was giving me a hard time to think.How did I get to my room?I collected my phone from my nightstand, turned it on to see that Deardre had sent me a text which reads;I know that you are angry and you have every reasons

  Fabby's POV:"Fabby..? We need to talk."It was Dominique, my childhood best friend."am not ready-""I heard everything." she cuts me short.I spun around to face her. "what?""I did." she repeated. "Cookie didn't do it. Amanda did."I couldn't piece up what she had just told me. How can Amanda put a dead rat in her own plate and accuse Cookie for it?Who does that? Or should I say, why will she do that?"I don't get you.""believe it or not Fabby.. This morning when I was getting ready for the wedding.. I saw Amanda standing close to the kitchen, whispering something and handing a black bag to her maid, Amaka. I became suspicious so when Amanda left and the maid entered the kitchen, I tiptoed quietly so she doesn't see me.I peeped through the door to see what she was doing.. It was

  Picture of Deardre and Jordan at the top.******Deardre's POV:Today was supposed to be my happy day since it was the night before my wedding but I couldn't since Cookie had been missing for three days.The king had ordered the guards to look for her even the young able youths of the village organised a search party but they all came back with the same answers. She was yet to be found.Everyone was sad. We all had a hint about who must've have plot everything but we had no evidence. All I do was cry.When I think that something bad must've happened to her, I can't help but cry. She was suppose to be here tonight. She promised to do my makeup, she's suppose to dress me up for the day, she's suppose to celebrate the day with me.I want to see her beautiful smile congratulate me tomorrow and wish me well. She was the reason why I came

  Hey! Just wanted to say I love y'all readers. ❤***********I wore my one arm knee length Ankara gown, a flat shoe to match, tied up my brown extension hair into a bun, wore my glasses, my earrings, necklace, bangle and then a touch of lipstick on my lip.Nothing too much cause we were only going to Mrs. Okonkwo's to buy some beads just like the King had said.I touched my necklace, looking at my reflection on the mirror whilst admiring how beautiful I look.These are one of the days I just can't help but admire my own self. Self love is indeed the best love.I smiled broadly then a tap came to my door, starting me a bit. "who's that?""are you giving birth inside?" Tolu's voice told me."on my way."I imagined her rolling her eyes now when she said. "that's what you said like five minutes ago.

  We all sat down at the large sitting room, listening to the king as he lists out some few things that needed to be done at the traditional wedding."father, don't you think it would be better if we buy clothes from the city?" Jordan questioned, same thing on my mind."no. That should be for the white wedding-" he turned to Deardre. "are you okay now?"She gave a nod but still replied with a shy smile. "yes my king.""good. I want you to resume cooking for me. You know how much I like eating your food." the king said with a wide grin on his face.She looked down, her blonde hair fell, covering the sides of her face giving that we don't see the pink shades that must've have appeared on her cheeks already. She was blushing."thank you."He then turned to me and my eyes widened a little. "you taught her well, God bless you for that. You will sure be a good wif
