“What’s it with this underground hospital?” Ariella asked when Kelvin stepped into her hospital room after Mariam received a call and left to do some important at her agency.She might have taken it easily when she did not have her memory and was quick to forget about this place because she was busy trying to digest the fact that the truth she’s known during her one month in the hospital was a lie. She wanted to know about this place now. He might not tell her the whole truth yet or might not even tell her anything, but she won’t stop asking. Kelvin looked surprised, but it wasn’t just because of the question. Ariella has not spoken for days and just when he finds out that Mariam had been able to get through to her, and he was happy that she was back, the first thing she does is to ask of the underground hospital.Yes, Mariam already told him that she was not angry with them for keeping her mother’s death from her, that in fact she said she understood when they did it, when he asked
“Yeah, God knows best,” Kelvin agreed.Ariella adjusted on the bed and patted the empty space beside her, “Sit with me,”Though he was surprised about the invitation, Kelvin did not hesitate, he jumped on the bed and sat close to her. “Now that everything is over, we have a whole lot that we need to talk about.” “What is that?”“You are not going to tell me about this hospital, are you?” “I want to tell you but I can’t,”“You know that I have every right to know considering the fact that I could have been taken to a regular hospital but you chose to bring me here, right?”“I know that you do have every right to know but…”“You did not take me to a regular hospital because you knew that we might be attacked again that night after the one that happened on the highway, am I correct?”Arielle felt Kelvin stiffen beside her. She knew that he was not expecting her to be able to piece everything together. She would never have done that without Mariam’s help. She did not even think much ab
“Today?” Arielle squeaked in surprise as she stared at Kelvin wide-eyed but she got herself in time and forced her face to look calm.“Yes, today,” Kelvin said with a straight face. He was enjoying ruffling her feathers. He could see her panicking even if she was trying hard to keep a straight face.“Oh? Okay. What time?” Kelvin turned his wrist to check his watch, “Five hours from now,”“Alright, I’ll be ready before then,”Kelvin looked like he was about to leave the room but he changed his mind, “Is the time enough for you to get everything you want and for you to be ready or do you want me to extend it?”“Ahhhh, no,” Ariella shook her head, “Five hours is enough for me to be ready. It is just your family, right?”“Yes, it is just my family.”“You can go now. I’ll be out in four hours thirty minutes,”“Okay,”Ariella waited until Kelvin was out as the door had closed behind him before she allowed herself to collapse on the bed. It’s been three since she left the hospital and ever
“Bitch! Wake the fuck up!” Mariel screamed as she burst into Ariella’s room and jumped on the bed.Ariella’s eyes snapped open and she sat up as quickly as her belly could allow her. Her heart was pounding fast in her chest as she looked around the room with wide eyes.“What? What’s wrong? Is the house on fire?” She asked Mariam with a frown when she saw nothing.“Stop being dramatic!” Mariam told her with an eyes roll, “If the house was on fire do you think I’ll come inside? Girl, I’ll run for my life first, make sure I’m safe before calling the fire service to come check up on a pregnant you,”It was Ariella’s turn to roll her eyes, “You should stop making dramatic entrances. I’m pregnant and any little thing will affect my baby. The shock and the rush at which I sat up is bad,”“Ehhhh, look who is so worried about her baby. That’s a lot of improvement.” Mariam knew that Ariella did not really like her baby or the fact that she was pregnant. She changed when she lost her memory and
Kelvin could not say a word. His eyes remained on Ariella as she walked out of her room and shut the door behind her.“Ahhh, is there anything wrong?” Ariella asked as she moved uncomfortably on her feet. The way he was looking at her was making her nervous. Was she overdressed or did he not like what she was putting on? She was very confident in Mariam’s skill. Mariam was quick to embrace the high class life of a model. She’s always been a fashionista but the same could not be said for Ariella who found it hard to match clothes and color.Anytime she was unsure of what to wear for an occasion, all she had to do was place a call to Mariam and the problem would be solved. She really liked this cloth Mariam picked out for her and she was feeling good until Kelvin began to look at her the way he was doing right now.Kelvin blinked as he snapped out of the haze he was drawn into when Ariella came out of her room. He shook his head, “No, no. Nothing is wrong,”“Really?” Ariella still hel
Ariella fidgeted nervously and wiggled her hands together. She had received a call from the hospital five hours ago that her mother collapsed. Her mother's surgery that was scheduled for five weeks later has been brought forward because of this. The doctor was demanding money for the surgery, and she also had outstanding debt for the drugs her mother's doctor was kind enough to give to her on credit. After her father's death, Ariella's mother fell ill, so she had to drop out of college and look for a job. In the process of looking for a job, she met beautiful Hannah, who helped her secure a position to become a model. Since Ariella was beautiful and had a good shape for modeling, she was able to get a spot in the company, but she could never go far. She had no connection, she was not willing to sell her body. Most of her resources were snatched by the other models. Even after two years in the modeling industry, she was not making enough money to take care of her mother's medic
Ariella scrambled away from the bed and picking up all her clothes, she ran into the bathroom, and slammed the door behind her She slid down on the floor, still naked as she burst into tears of guilt. She was supposed to sleep with a random stranger and get the money for her mother's surgery, so how did she end up in Kelvin's bed? Did Hannah make a mistake with the room number? She was sure that Kelvin must have been expecting Hannah because he was also shocked to see her. She buried her face in her hands as she sobbed loudly. She was not a good friend at all. She just slept with her friend's boyfriend and enjoyed it, she even gave her first time to him. 'I have to tell Hannah before he tells her, I need to beg for her forgiveness' she thought as she stood up with shaky legs and picked up her trousers She brought her phone out of the pocket of her jeans and with shaky hands, she dialed Hannah's number. Her heart was in her mouth as she listened to the ringing tone, waiting fo
Kelvin continued to glare at the door long after Ariella left. He was still furious about what she did and he was going to make her pay. How dare she pretend to be his girlfriend just to get into bed with him and then try to push all the blame on Hannah? He was going to warn Hannah about her friend, who was just a wolf in sheep's clothing. He picked up his phone and called Hannah. He paced around the room as he waited for her to pick up. She did not pick up the first time, so he called her again, and she picked up this time around "Hello.” Hannah's voice held a tinge of fatigue, he could guess how tired she was, and it made him feel guilty. While he was here screwing her friend, she was there working hard to push her career forward. "Hannah, honey, you have to keep calm and listen to me. Something bad just happened, and I need to explain it to you.” he prepared her for the news he was about to deliver which he knew would hurt her. "Umm, Kelvin baby, if this is about whatever happ
