THIRD PARTY’s POV…He smiled to himself as he stared at the dress, perfumes and shoes he had bought for her. He knew one thing, she wasn’t one to be enticed by these things but then what could he do? He couldn’t think of any other gift for her so he had to settle for these.She was his best friend and not only was she his best friend, she was also his good luck charm. Ever since she started staying with him, nothing had ever gone wrong in his life.She wasn’t just his best friend, she was the woman he loved and deep down, he wished she would just accept his love but then, he didn’t want to force himself on her. She was still valuable to him and what if she didn’t want to accept his love? She had her own choice and it was going to be a slow one but then he was sure of one thing, it wouldn’t take long before she fell for him.He smiled to himself as he took out his wallet, staring at it with a smile on his face. It was a picture of Ariana, the love of his life. He sighed, “you’re the
“Ariana!” He called as he dragged her out of the kitchen, the milk pouring all over the floor immediately and he stared at her. As he stared at her, he could see the worry in her eyes and she immediately got up as she stared at him, tucking her hair behind her ear as she stared in fear at the boiling milk that had now tumbled over.She swallowed hard, how could she have being so lost in thought that she didn’t realize that the milk had being boiling.“What the heck Ariana? Don’t you know you could have gotten hurt?” He yelled at her as he dragged her out of the kitchen, to the sitting room where he sat her on the couch before going to the drawer and then getting a first aid kit.He had dragged her out of the kitchen but then she had being burnt slightly by the milk so he had to tend to her. He stared at her angrily and it didn’t seem like his words were getting to her as all she continued to do was look away and this time, tears streamed down her cheeks.“Ari?” He called softly a
He smirked as he sat against the table, holding the phone in his hands as he moved it from his left to his right and vise versa. “You know, someone once told me that prisoners weren’t allowed to keep phones. Is that true?” He asked and the officer in front of him gulped as he looked towards the cell that Dave was in.He could see Dave being so nonchalant about the whole thing and he was starting to regret ever helping Dave. He couldn’t even bring himself to answer Raymond so he just kept quiet and this silence was infuriating Raymond. He got up as he banged hard on the table, startling the officer. “Are phones allowed or they are not?” He asked angrily and the officer swallowed.“I’m so sorry sir, I….” Before he could even complete his statement, Raymond put his hand in the air as he snapped it.“ I didn’t ask you for an apology now did I? All I just want to know is whether a prisoner is allowed to have a phone and make calls with them because you know what I’m planning to do?” He
As she stared at it, tears streamed down her cheeks and it wasn’t because she was hurt about anything, it was because she was actually feeling on top of the world.“It’s all really strange, Mr Ender. Just a few days ago, your company was suffering at a really great loss. Your shares were going missing and you had to sell a lot of things you had just so that you would not end up landing in jail but here you are, in the space of just a few days, you were able to pay back all your debts and even get back in the charts as the second most wealthy billionaire CEO. Rumor has it that your ideas have become top notch to the extent that you have come to reject many prospective investors because they are not up to your standards anymore. Do you mind sharing your tips?” The interviewer asked Raymond.He smiled as he stared at every single person present in the room. Apparently, he had become the talk of the town and at this conference because of how much he had risen to the top after his down
“So you won’t accept my gift?” He asked her, feigning hurt.She chuckled as she put her hand around him. “My darling friend, dearest one and the most important person, I’m so sorry, I can’t accept it.” She told him with a smile and he smirked as he put his hand around her waist.“Alright then, if you won’t accept my gift, at least do me one favor.” He told her and she smiled.“And what could that favor be?” She asked him with a smile on her face.He smirked slightly, “won’t you take a drive with me?” He asked her and she paused.She stared at him, how could she tell him that she couldn’t go with him. Not because she didn’t want to spend time with him but because she was scared she wouldn’t be able to control herself . With all that had being happening in these few days and with him always coming to her rescue when she needed him, she was slowly starting to think that it was all love.Was she really in love with him? She had wanted to write him off as a playboy but she couldn’t see he
It had being so long, so many days since she last saw he sister and she had missed her. Sure, their last encounters were the worst. Kira had being mean to her and had ruined her life but she never wanted this to happen.“We should take her to the hospital, that’d be the best.” Raymond told her as he picked Kira up, carrying her in his arms.“What are you saying? Do you want us to go to jail?” She asked him as she tucked Kira’s hair behind her ear. She was bleeding badly and she hated this.“What do you even mean?” He asked her as he walked towards the car.“This was an accident Raymond, they are definitely going to want to get us arrested so please, keys take her home. It will be better for us that way.” She told him and he could see reason in what she was saying.He placed Kira in the back seat while Ariana sat with her and he immediately started the car as they drove back home. “It’s going to be fine, Kira, everything will be fine.” She told her sister. As they stood outside th
ARIANA’s POV…Hearing those words from her, I staggered back in shock as I stared at her. “You’re joking Kira, there’s no way you’re telling me the truth.” I told her as tears streamed down her cheeks while she nodded.“I’m not lying Ariana. I had being coming from the hospital when I got into the accident. I have brain tumor, it’s in the final stage and the doctor said nothing can be done about it, not anymore.” She told me and I immediately dragged her as I pulled her in for an embrace as tears streamed down my cheeks.Suddenly, after hearing this, all the anger and hatred I had towards her disappeared. I couldn’t let my sister die while I held such a grudge in my heart. “I forgive you kira, I do.” I told her as tears streamed down my cheeks.She immediately put her hands around me as she embraced me tightly, “thank you Ariana, thank you.” She told me and tears steamed down my cheeks even more.I sniffled as I turned to Raymond but then I was shocked to see that he was emotionless,
“Breakfast is served.” She said with a smile on her face as she placed the food before us and I turned to Raymond who stared at me, surprised.The last few days had being very surprising for us, she had become someone completely new. The Kira that I knew was never like this but this one, she was somebody else and most times, I felt scared.It had being more than a week since she started staying here and in this past week, she had being full of surprises. From making breakfast before we woke up to cleaning the house and even instigating me to have a chance with Raymond, I couldn’t help but feel scared.She had become sweet, way too sweet for comfort and it was scaring the hell out of me even though I anger to enjoy the fact that my sister had become a changed person, one that now wanted the best for everyone.I could remember the following morning, the one after she had the accident, how she had wanted to leave the house immediately because she wanted us to start afresh but then knowin
