They talked and laughed and didn't actually notice that time was moving. It was much, much later when the waiter came to pick the used plates that they realized that they had been talking and laughing like old pals for almost two hours.

Denise was actually surprised that she could hold her own for that long when faced with an enigma like Ansel. She also realised that he was an easy going man and she shouldn't have feared him as much.

Ansel, on the other hand, was on cloud nine. He was ecstatic. Who would have told him that his crush was that fun to be with. They were like two sides of the same coin. All Ansel knew was the high class stuff, business and closing deals but Denise knew the street life. She had been there and she knew more about the life of the poor and the middle class than Ansel did.

They thus talked about all this and that without any care in the world but the downside came when Ansel asked her about her family. This was a topic she had never talked about with or to an

    In the nineteen years of her life, Denise had been through hell and back. She had literally gone through the valley of death and had emerged on the other side victorious and she did because from an early age, she learnt that the only person she could trust was herself and herself alone.That was why she didn't have any friends. If even the people she called her own family didn't want her, what of strangers? Thus, she had built these huge walls around herself and hadn't found anyone who could break them or to put it rightly, she had never let anyone near her. She had barricaded herself and trust wasn't something she gave readily.She had also learnt, from an early age, that tears didn't solve anything. They only made one look weaker than they already were and gave people reason to want to hurt and bulky her more.And there is nothing bad in this world the enemy knowing that they affect you with their actions.

    Denise sat there for a while frozen as if she was suspended in time. Her heart was beating a thousand beats a minute. If body organs could talk, her heart, her lungs and her small intestines would have talked of how nervous she was at that moment. She felt the proverbial butterflies in her stomach. If Dwayne wanted her dead, he had succeeded because if she didn't calm down and quickly, she would get a heart attack. She could feel the palpitations coming. "l am definitely hallucinating! That's it. I must be sick. Or have I been overworking myself? That must be it." Denise thought to herself as she sat there trying to control her breathing and staring at Ansel like a ghost.She thought she had heard him wrong. She must have. He couldn't have been serious, could he? She stood wanting some fresh air to help her think and when Ansel saw that, he felt his heart miss a beat. Did she want to leave without saying anything? Was he too direct and he frightened her?He couldn't let her just l

    "Do not be afraid of love or the course it will take. There is no certainty in life. Choose love first and choose love last and it will give you more than you ever give it." – Donna Goddard, Waldmeer.What Denise was experiencing right then was the fear of uncertainty. She knew that she was a nobody (not that she had ever let that stop her from wanting to become somebody) and she couldn't be with Ansel.There were a lot of 'ifs' and'what ifs'. This fear waswhat was making her want to refuse Ansel's proposal as early as now before she got in too deep.What she didn't realise was the fact that, the fact that she didn't want to disappoint Ansel by marrying him and then making him find out that she was a disappointment and she wasn't what he was looking for in a wife, all meant one thing: she was head over heels for him already and he meant the world to her. But being the naive girl she was having in mind that she had never been in a relationship nor fallen in love before, there was no

    As is norm with all people, fear of losing is innate. No one loves losing and hope helps one deal with such fear. It is said that hope is the last thing we lose in anysituation. Thus, Ansel was hopeful that he had convinced Denise to agree to his proposal and he had this mininised his fear of rejection by hoping that she was in. He was hopeful that all would go well.After finishing his long speech, he stood there looking at her withva hopeful expression and his eyes fixated on her. She also looked at him wondering if he was the one who had said that much. Like everyone in Xela, she also had the same view about Ansel. The reason why he had been nicknamed the lceberg of Xera was not only because of his cold demeanor but also because of the fact that he rarely talked. Even when he was having a proper conversation with anyone, he would only give one word perfunctory answers or short commands. He thus gave people people this picture and impression that he never talked. There was in fa

    Denise looked at Mandy and wondered why and where all the hatred came from. She didn't know the other woman and she really didn't think that even if it was a grudge because of taking Ansel or humiliating her the other day, it warranted her asking her people to kill her."Why do you hate me so much first of all? Do we know each other from somewhere?" Denise asked Mandy because she thought all this crazy.How can one hate someone else out of their own delusions? It wasn't normal. But she needed to hear it from Mandy herself because maybe she had a reason."Do I have any reason to hate you? You took my man away from me. Isn't that reason enough? I hate your very guts!" Mandy said through gritted teeth but Denise just looked at her with pity in her eyes. Really? Did Mandy just call Ansel her man?"Has Ansel ever told you that he loves you or has he ever given you any reason to believe that he does? Has he ever behaved in a way to suggest that he mightwant you?" Denise asked her again,

    These men regretted underestimating Denise and taking her nonchalance as fear and helplessness. If they had known that she could handle a gun and she knew how to fight, they would have recruited more men or even dealt with her more ruthlessly and without delay. They sat on the floor in a line like obedient school children and faced her. She then sat back on the couch and bent her back a little, parted her legs and placed her elbows on her knees and looked at them the way one would look at children. She was like a mother teaching her children how to be good boys. She was dangling the gun before them and they seemed visibly scared until one decided to be brave. "Do you even know how to use that thing? Stop pretending! Our young miss told us that you are a nobody. So, stop pretending to be brave. Why don't we fight and see what you can do?" He said and she smiled at that. An eerily scary smile that had him regretting why he said that. "Okay," she said just that and pulled the tri

    "So, you guys want to tell me who sent you?" She asked them, looking all nonchalant and they laughed.She looked at them like fools and made herself comfortable at that dusty couch. She even placed one leg on top of the other on the knee and looked all bossy. She didn't look like she was the kidnapee at all."Yeah, we will tell you once we deal with you. Our boss told us to do with you whatever we would and she would come to finish you. Don't worry, we threw your phone away and no one would be able to locate you. So, it's just you and us. You can stop pretending to be all brave.
