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
I smiled to myself as I watched her scream for help while she was taken away. “Let me go, leave me please.” She yelled but I just stood by the side as I watched them push her into the truck and just then, Tanya arrived behind me.“You’ve just proven me wrong in every single way kira.” She told me and I turned to her.“How so? You didn’t think I could do it?” I asked her.She chuckled. “I used to think you had a soft heart, I thought you wouldn’t be able to sell your sister off but you did, I’m proud of you girl, keep doing what you do.” She told me and I stared at my hand as I waved the bundles of cash at her.“I only did what I did for revenge and probably for the money too.” I told her as I placed a kiss on the money. “She deserves it and I hope she dies there.” I told her as I turned away from Tanya.“There’s one problem though.” She told me and I furrowed my eye brows as I turned to her.“What is it?” I asked her and she sighed.“Raymond. Won’t he come looking for her? Kira, t
THIRD PARTY’s POV….She stared at him, shocked. “This should be the last time you try such on me. We’re no longer a thing Kira, get that into that tumored head of yours.” He told her and she seethed as she stared at him.All she had tried to do was seduce him but then, he wasn’t interested. She stared at him angrily, nothing would stop her, she would make sure she seduced him and nothing would be able to change that, not now at least.She sighed as she stared at him, “I’m so sorry, I thought that we still….” She didn’t even complete her statement when he snapped his fingers at her.“Don’t you ever think that. My heart belongs to Ariana now. She is the only one I love and that will remain unchanged, forever.” He told her and she looked at him; anger seething through her. “Got that?” He asked her angrily and she nodded.“Yes, I do.” She told him as he walked away.The moment he walked away, she got up as she stared at him leave. “You’ll be mine Raymond, nothing will change that. Whether
“I don’t give an F about it, make sure you do as I tell you, you wouldn’t like it if you don’t.” He said angrily, over the phone as he threw it to the couch.He ran his fingers through his hair, he knew something was fishy when Ariana didn’t tell him about her late night plans and he was even more suspicious when her phone was switched off.As a result, he had decided to phone their company but then there was no response and then when he went there, he was informed that everyone already left long ago.He had decided to be patient till the following morning and when he went there, he was shocked to see every one present. Even the security cameras in the office showed that every one had left as at the time they were supposed to.He ran his fingers through his hair, “where are you Ariana, where are you?” He spoke to himself and just then, he received a call.He rushed to it, hoping it would have some information concerning Ariana but then it was just his secretary. “Sir, your meeting is
ARIANA’s POV…. I screamed in pain as they pushed me against the cartons in the truck, causing me to hurt myself. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I turned back to the three men who were lustfully staring at me as they moved closer to me and I swallowed hard in fear as tears started to stream down my cheeks.“Please, don’t do this to me, I beg of you.” I told them as tears streamed down my cheeks.Why were they doing this? For all they knew, I could even have some disease or anything.I cried hard as they continued to move closer to me, ignoring my pleas and at that moment, the one who had blonde hair grabbed me by the hair.“Raymond!” I screamed as tears streamed down my cheeks and he chuckled slightly as he stared at me.“Raymond huh? Is that supposed to be your boyfriend?” He asked me and before I knew it, he gave me a resounding slap across the face and I fell as I turned to the girls who were staring at me, pity in their eyes.I swallowed as I held on to my cheek, it was hurt
I was numb at this moment, I couldn’t even move, I didn’t have any words to say and worst of all, I didn’t think I would ever be able to achieve the dreams I had.My sister was dying and I wanted to spend her last days with her but apparently, I would not be able to because sadly, we had crossed the border. Those words, the ones the officer had used when we were still at the border continued to ring in my head.“Do you really think there is an honest officer out there? Now, you don’t even need to cross the border before your life is over. Once you’re in, your life is over” he had said as he walked away with the money. I was now a shadow of myself, I missed Raymond, I missed his joke, every single thing about him and I wished he was here by my side , not in this truck, in the house, the place where we spent time together.I slowly wiped my tears as I sniffled, turning to the other girls who were as pale as I was. “Here, eat this.” With those words came a knock my head and I flic
I swallowed in fear as I turned to the man who had a gun in his hand and before I could say anything, he slapped me and I fell to the ground, the phone falling right out of my hand as it rolled away.This could be my last chance to freedom, I couldn’t let it go, not so easily. I turned to him as I gave him a kick in the knees before rushing to the phone and just then, an alarm started to blare. I swallowed hard in fear as I picked the phone. “Balata house, that’s where it is.” I yelled and at that moment, some men came and dragged me.“Ariana!” I could hear him yell from the phone . “What did you say? I couldn’t hear you.” The phone was now on speaker but then, just as I was about to yell the location out again, my mouth and nose was shut.“Balata house!” I tried to yell again but then it had become too intoxicating, I couldn’t take it any more and I shut my eyes.Losing consciousness and the phone being taken out of my hand was all I could recall.I slowly opened my eyes as I hear
