A few moments later …“Where’s Belle, where’s my wife?!” Darell said as he dashed into the Hospital, breathing heavily, he looked really disoriented like he ran all the way there. Quinn quickly stood up from where she was seated and rushed up to him. “Relax, she’s in the delivery room,” she said and he exhaled deeply as he slowly followed her to where she was seated.“How can I relax?,” he muttered as she made him seat on the chair and she took her seat beside him also.“She still has about three weeks to her due date and you said she was bleeding, my head is running wild from all the possibilities “ he said rubbing his forehead distraught.Quinn placed a reassuring hand on Darell's shoulder, offering him a warm smile, even if her herself she felt scared and the smile was somewhat fake.“I understand how worried you are, Darell, but Belle's in good hands. The doctors here are experts, and they'll do everything they can to ensure her and the baby's safety."Darell nodded, though anxie
“Its such a sad day,” Jenna murmured as she walked into her room, with Nimi behind her, he gently closed the door shut and closed the bolt behind it.“It is, I just hope he’ll be fine,” Nimi replied, Jenna nodded slowly opening the glass cupboard where she kept her bags and carefully placed it in it.“He’ll be fine,” she replied taking off her shoes and coming to seat beside him on her bed.“I hope so,” Nimi slowly leaned forward and took his hands on hers, he gently wrapped his hands around hers and placed it tenderly on his thigh slowly looking up to hold her gaze affectionately.“It’s why I always want us to talk if there’s anything annoying you, I never want us to go to sleep mad at each other,” he said and she nodded slowly.“It’s difficult for me to actually talk and settle things out when I’m extremely angry, but I’ll do anything for you, for us, for our relationship,” she said and he nodded slowly with a small smile.“I understand, thank you my love” he said as he stretched
Next day…Sunday Afternoon, 3:00pm …Nimi picked up his bottle of perfume, sprayed a little at points where it was needed the most and hastily returned it back to where he took it from.With one last look at the mirror, he picked up his phone and dashed towards the door.Just as he got to the door about to grab the knob, it twisted and the door pushed open.Nimi stepped back as he looked at Jenna in shock, a string of profanities escaping his lips, he had tried as much as possible to avoid her since the day began, trying to think of how to carry out the job that her father gave him.“Going somewhere?!” She asked, he just stared at her wondering whether to nod yes or shake his head saying no.He weighed the two options immediately, thinking of the one that would cost him more time, Now definitely would!.“Yes,” he finally said in a whisper nodding his head slowly.“Where?!” She asked again stepping inside and closing the door behind her.Nimi impatiently looked down at his watch and sl
“What the hell do you want!” Nimi growled as his wavering confidence formed again and he stepped forward to confront Aiden.“That’s bad manners Nimi don’t you think?!” Aiden snorted, slowly looking up to his eyes and holding his gaze, a small smile tugging by the corner of his lips, Nimi tried to hide his fear but he wasn’t doing a really good job, and Aidennlived for this moment.“Atleast invite me in, or do you rather we talk right here,” Aiden added, his voice thickening as he slowly looked at him through his eyebrows.Nimi dropped his hands resignately looking around the passage, before he slowly took small steps back inside the house, Aiden smile widened as he took, slow, steady and confident strides into the house, he slammed the door shut behind him and slowly began to walk up to Darell.Darell instinctively moved backwards, his grip on Hailey tightening as he fidgeted trying to keep his hands steady holding Hailey.“When did you become this cowardly Darell,” Aiden said, still
“Jenna cannot know about this please,” Nimi said to Quinn after explaining everything to her.“Wait, if I understand you, you and Darell are really not strangers and you know each other? And now your boss wants you to come back and work for him?!”“What work exactly?!”“It’s umm …” Darell began.“It’s more of a job at a warehouse, guarding imported stuff and all!” Nimi imputed immediately, beating Darell to it.“Hmm!” Quinn nodded slowly, finding it difficult to believe what he had just said.“Guarding imported stuff?! So why did he have a gun if the stuff aren’t illegal?!” She asked again.“We’re…” Nimi trailed off, thinking of what to say to further cover up their almost bursted lie.“We’re equally as surprised “ he added immediately and she shook her head slowly.“So what do you plan to do now?!“If he wants you to come back and work for him at this warehouse, what happens to Jenna?!”“Don’t worry, I only said that to stall him, I’m not going to leave Jenna, I promise you!”“Hmm I
Next Day …Monday Morning ….“Good Morning Jenna,” Claire greeted with a small smile as she walked into her office, she wasn’t quite used to calling her Jenna just yet, But Jenna had insisted that she dropped the Miss Thatcher she was already used to.“Good morning, how was your weekend?!” “Very good Ma’am, thank you for asking” Claire replied with a small smile as she stretched the tablet she was holding towards Jenna.“I got in touch with Sir Franco’s personal assistant, this is your updated schedule, we would be running with this till the horizon project is done” Jenna nodded slowly as she took the tablet from her.“Who drew this up?!” She asked looking through the schedule “And you don’t have to worry about your other duties here,” Claire continued.“We did it together, I decided to take on jobs that I can handle and have them removed from your schedule, to create space for your new project!”“That way you can be here a few times in a week just to generally inspect everything a
Later that day …“If this is your idea of toning it down with public display of affection then you’re definitely going to get us in trouble!” Nimi said to Jenna and she threw her heads backwards bursting out in laughter.“I’m having lunch, obviously my bodyguard should be with me!” She replied.“Yeah, probably standing behind you or at the entrance not seating across the table from you!” He added and she smiled.“Well you’re sitting upright and not having any food that must count for something” she replied and he laughed.“You sure do have your way with words” “There’s something I’ve actually being wanting to ask but I don’t know how,” Nimi said and she paused what she was eating and gently dropped her cutleries on the table.“Woah, now that seems serious, what’s going on?!” She asked looking up at him, he released a light chuckle trying to dissipate the tension that had just formed in the air, but her eyes was still intensely staring at him.“Do you maybe think you might have had a
Meanwhile ….A small knock came on Darell’s door, he heaved a stressed sigh as he carried Hazel who was crying heavily in his arms and walked towards the door.He exhaled in relief a soon as he saw Quinn standing at the door.“You don’t know how much I was hoping you’d show up at this door!” Darell said as he stepped away from the door and she walked into the house closing the door behind her.“I was just coming back from work and I heard her voice, I decided to come see you guys,”“What’s wrong why is she crying?!” Quinn asked as she dropped her bag on the chair and took Hailey from him.“I have no idea, she’s been crying nonstop, I’ve given her food, tried to make her sleep none of them is working!” He muttered as she slowly began to rock Hailey.She slowly walked towards the windows, pushed the curtain open and began to sing as she rockedher.“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey, you never know this how much I love you, please don’t take my
