The deserts looked like they spread for thousands of miles, without signs of life of any form. Only vultures were flying high in the sky in other to do food. There were no trees or peace anywhere in the heated place; it felt like being in an oven, except 100 degrees worse. Below the ground was cracked as if it would open up and consume us Alive. Undoubtedly, this place was hell, though there was no turning back and sooner than later our enemies would strike again destroying the few surviving citizens of Iran. There was an interstates war between Iran and the United States. Things had gotten worse over the moment as the confrontation seemed to have turned into a death Apocalypse."Lily!""Am coming mum" Lily yelled back trying to pack up a few things for the journey ahead."Hurry up!" her mum yelled louder. "Let's go lily that's enough!" Her twin sister dragged her out of the house. Lily struggled with her twin sister."I forgot....!" she
"Some rest" Betty exclaimed right after the teacher had exited the classroom."It won't last long" Alicia responded staring at lily as if expecting a response."For the meantime, let us talk about something" Betty added excitedly. Alicia groaned in despair."What is it with you and boys?" Alicia asked with a somewhat riled expression."Not just any boy Alicia...the cute ones are really attractive don't you think?" "They are Betty but I don't think those things entice me right now. Maybe when I enter college I might give thought into it" Alicia responded veraciously."Your such an egg head....why wait till then?" Betty snorted out."My self expected" Alicia growled."Well Matt is really funny and cute don't you think so?""Betty it is not up to a month we started school and you are already infatuated with matt?" "It's called love nerd" Betty responded jokingly. Alicia patted her forehead with her palm, turning to lily who had been s
After school had dismissed she went to his class but found him with his friends, gathered by the side of the class chatting and laughing. She patiently waited outside till he was done with them and then sneaked up to him."Hey" lily waved to him even though she was on tender hooks."hi" he replied."Are you going home?" she asked."yes am really tired" "Ok can I walk you home" "Any problem?" he asked glaring at her"Of course not" She said putting on a smile."Okay no problem" he said and they walked home together.From then they began to go home together and even got so attached to each other that other students actually thought we were dating. Lily on her own part actually felt that he might also have a "thing" for her. In a way it gave her the confidence she needed to tell him how she really felt about him.As they walked home after school one day she blankly told him how she felt while he was all ears. Thinking that he mig
Consequently, the remnant weeks in Grade 3 were quite distressing and somber for lily. She withdrew from everyone being furtive.She got promoted to the next class and luckily for Betty she found her own better half, Phoenix. He was fair in complexion alongside dark blue hair and very cute too. His ocean eyes complimenting his perfect physique, he was an excellent match for Betty. The three were still tightly in touch with one another however lily was unmatched. Slowly she became too attached to herself, merely talking around people yet growing deeper into depression."Alicia am worried about lily.....I...." Betty said with a dull facial appearance."Me too" the bell rings."I have to get back to class," Betty said standing upAlicia nodded and Betty left."oww" betty groaned in pain after she ran into someone"Phoenix?.... I thought you were sick?" " I got better so I decided to come to see you" he repliedBetty's cheeks flushed red
Warning: Mature minds only read at your risksWhen they had become a couple, Sasha was all over phoenix from the start. To him, it didn't mean anything because he got to see his mates feel resentful towards him.On the second day of their "dating war", she constrained him to go with her to her friend's birthday party. He was forced to assent even though he never loved attending parties but just to make her happy he had to. The party was plain yet fun. On another occasion, she invited him to another bash which he freely accepted to be part of.He and his friends made ready for the party but later on, his friends left him to pick up his girlfriend. Once he got to her house he sighted her waiting patiently at a corner for him. But she didn't move an inch towards the car, phoenix still ignorant of what was happening was still admiring her from outside. After a long while and she hadn't still moved his driver looked at the innocent boy "Sir she might want
Phoenix woke up with a pounding headache as he slid down the bed, he turned to the other side but Sasha wasn't by his side. He sighed.He dressed up and left for home. His parents had traveled for some 'important meeting" as they would always say. Phoenix never spent time with his parents while growing up, they would leave very early in the morning and return late at night but never bothered about his life affairs only his studies.On his birthday they would send him lots of gifts and money possibly throw a party but they were never around, but he had gotten used to it over the years. Every morning he would wake up to find a letter and an envelope with lots of cash inside."Good morning son, here is a little token for your upkeep. Be a good boy we love you"He walked into the bathroom to cool off, droplets of water ran down his body as he turned the shower on while the memories of what happened last night came flashing back into his mindCrackHe hi
"...I want to talk to you" Sasha reprised "Can't you see am busy right now?" he said sternly"Just a few minutes Okay?" she replied coldly"And hey Betty is not trying to steal your boy just a little chit-chat," she said as she flashed a grin at Betty.Betty remained immobilized as lay by. She watched Sasha leave with phoenix about him till she lost sight of him."His ex?" She murmured to herself shrinking back. "But he never told me anything about it" Taking her chance she dashed towards them, when they saw her approach them they stopped talking."See you later little daddy," Sasha said fluttering away from the phoenix."I'll be going home bye see you later," he said to Betty who stood still unsure of what to do next."Wa....." He had gone out of sight before she could utter a word."I'll let you go to the stars if you don't explain this" she murmured. Still utterly confused after a few minutes of afterthoughts she went home.
"You and Matt had been pretty much the dream couple I dreamed of having but unfortunately for me" Lily sulked like a child."Lily!!!""Hey come on get that attitude off when you are with me" Alicia directed to lily.Lily nodded as she brightened up her gloomy face."So gist me" "...." lily's face slackened."Come on okay... I do have something I want to tell you""Okay go on""I and matt were walking around the park when we met this guy Steve and we talked about a lot of stuff we played truth or dare too" she paused"Okay" seeming uninterested"Okay matt asked Steve who he liked and he said no one""So...""But then after the game, he pulled matt aside and told him something I took it that it was a boys thing so no need to interfere" she giggled"As we were going home Steve started to talk of you how beautiful you are how you carry yourself""Carry me??""Yea yea please let me finish'" okay""So I got su
Noah, Sajan, and Niah hugged Betty tight she felt she was going to run out of breath."Please don't kill my fiancee before our wedding" Phoenix commented. The kids and their father, Cosmo chuckled. Cosmo walked over to where Nix stood."I'm sure the kids would miss you much too especially Sajan"Nix gave a light smile."I will too""I'm sorry for what Sasha might have put you and Betty through with her vain quest"Nix just stared at him and nodded. Cosmo gave him a light pat and then walked back to the children. "Don't forget to call me if you need help with anything" Betty said."Would you fly over just because of them?" Cosmo asked."Yes" she answered with all seriousness "I still take them as mine though not biologically"Betty hugged the trio once more and then cosmo before leaving them to catch their flight. "Now back to the main business," Nix said.Betty wanted to know why her father helped Sasha forge the results."Or didn't he want her to be with Nix?" She thought aloud
Ring ring...Her phone kept buzzing but she refused to pick up. Why would Dilan be calling her so early in the morning? Though a part of her wanted to answer the call and find out why another part of her seemed to have gotten the best part of her reasoning. She watched her phone buzz repeatedly till he decided to stop calling. She breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Then a knock on her door. She felt tormented. What was all this? At first she concluded she would just stay and wait till the person left but the next thing she heard made her heart jump from her mouth. The person had broken her door down and began to look through the house. She peered from above but only caught his silhouette. She ran inside her room immediately and made to lock the door when she felt a strong hand push the door open. She fell on the floor due that action. "Charles?" She muttered."Why are you...?""Lily is missing" he answered back cutting her off. In seconds he explained everything to her. Each sentence
"Congratulations ma'am" the nurse excitedly congratulated her, her face beaming with smiles. She turned to Steve who was still starting ever lovingly at Silvia. "Please make sure she gets enough rest" the nurse repeated but this time emphasizing strictly to Steve.He nodded in affirmation promising to do so. Silvia ed is oblivious to what was happening within her. Steve held her hands and kissed her on her forehead. "Don't be scared babe I'm here for you " he told her. Silvia didn't know what to do at this moment, she was in utter confusion. This could be the end of her life and career. It would have been better if only she knew about it but then Steve found out. How on earth was she going to tell this man standing before her that she wanted to abort the baby? Not that she couldn't but he'll try to find out why.What was more terrible was knowing that she was going to be in trouble when Dilan or any member of his family gets to hear this. Speaking of Dilan..her phone rang...It w
Silvia glared at the piece of paper in their hand, she crumpled it and threw it into the bin. She got into her car and drove home, she began to ponder"a month pregnant?!!!" she yelled."I can't be. This can't be possible. She parked the car by the side of the road and began to do some "calculations""But we were protected and I never skipped my morning pills" She thought so hard her forehead began to hurt. A memory flashed into her brain, she remembered the time she had stayed indoors with Steve all through. She was too lost in the moment she forgot herself. She yelled and screamed and finally sobbed. This was a bad turn for her, she knew she could not even blame it on Dilan who not for once even gave her a handshake. "Steve!!!" She drove to her house in annoyance. She threw her purse on the couch and began to think of a solution"If I tell him....he might want us to get married" she concluded. With the way steve professed his love for her over and over again she knew that telling
Cosmo walked up to Betty and knelt to face Sajan "Am your father" The man told the boy. The boy blinked repeatedly and looked at Nix."Come" Cosmo put his hand forward to take the boy. Nix dragged the boy to himself. Nix fell short of words too even though it had been his wish for all of this to vanish into thin air or for someone to just pop out of nowhere and claim Sajan. But he didn't think he might feel the way he felt now. He had gotten used to having Sajan as his son a part of him felt excited about having him."What do you mean?" Betty asked Cosmo. He smiles embarrassingly but answered her question truthfully, not wanting her to doubt him. "It's a long story" She cocked her head to the side in wonder. "Let's go home then" Betty suggested. Sasha got into Cosmo's car while Nix, Betty, Sajan, and the twins got into the car leading the way for Cosmo. Nix called Noah Thor who advised him to drive to his house including that he would call Doctor Darrel. The car came to a hal
Arriving at the dining hall, the couple and the trio were given a private room. The elevated radiant ceilings and the orthodox scenery embellished an astonishing ambiance. The interior area appeared friendly and alluring with the flowers on each table and relieving piano music that float in the restaurant. The decibels weren't very high, the soundness was quiet and superficial. Nix discovered that Betty had been silent since they entered."You order I'll be in the bathroom," Betty said with a smile. He nodded and sat down with the children all cornered around him. Betty went into the washroom, she wiped the tears that were about to fall, making sure that she was alright she went back to her date. Phoenix had set up a kind of "family reunion" but it was more like a reunion between him and Betty.Betty sat on her seat which was directly opposite nix, giving him the perfect opportunity to stare at her as long as he wanted. They were served lobster balls and tofu "Simple?" Betty asked"
...Betty found it hard to sleep all through the night. She kept on reminiscing about the events that occurred between her and nix. The surprise kisses ran chills through her spine anytime she thought of it.Matt was right she missed nix but more now she thought of him. After a long thought, she stood up to go and meet Alicia but she paused in her tracks when she thought she might interrupt something.Just then she heard a knock."Wanna talk?" Alicia asked.Betty smiled to herself."Nix you have four days left to bring my son back to me" Sasha texted nix.Nix laughed at seeing the message."Any problem dad?" Sajan asked as he joined Nix on the couch."Your mom misses you"Sajan frowned"Why?""You don't hate her do you?""A little""she's still your mom and you shouldn't feel that way toward her" Nix explained to Sajan.Sajan was about to reply when they got interrupted by a knock on the door followed by the swinging open of the door."Matt?""Phoenix... it been long," Matt said giving
"Betty, why did you even attempt that?" Ashely patted Betty on the back while she sobbed heavily."No matter where I go I'll still feel the same way about him....I'll still love him and i"ll still want to be with him. I can still feel him he's like everywhere. But I can't forget what he did. He lied to me he deceived me" she cried."But he loves you that am sure of" Betty didn't say a word after...after a few minutes she fell into a deep slumber."Phoenix?" Matt asked as he sat beside Alicia.Alicia nodded."So how long is she going to stay here?" "As long as she wants" Alica replied curtly "Why the attitude?" Matt asked with a smile"Why the smile?" she asked back"Get serious Alicia....stop fooling around and help your friend""Matt" Alicia screamed his name and rushed towards him. She blew a punch on his stomach and he "groaned" in pain and began to laugh."That hurts babe," he said hugging Alicia tightly "Leave me you twitch""No" Matt disagreed and kissed her."Your lips tast
Nix and the kids had left that early morning leaving Betty alone in the house. She decided to take a walk before she finally left to "find herself".She just couldn't stop thinking of the happenings of yesterday, especially the surprise kisses she had gotten from Nix. Her lips itched to get more but she was relieved her senses were still in control and had stopped her from what might have led to another thing and now she had her chance to run away from him she wouldn't let it go.She decided to take a cab to anywhere her heart finds solace."Going where ma'am" "Just taking a drive""Okay to where ma'am?""Don't worry I'll take a cab""No ma'am just let me" the driver pleaded.Betty didn't want to argue so she agreedThey drove far away from their hometown, she didn't want to see or hear anyone she knew. She was already aware of the "I love you's, why did do that" coming from her friend Alicia and Nix. But she neither hear any of it. Driving down to the beach several miles away. She s
