Next day, Tuesday….Canada ….Nimi gently walked out of his room, it was past nine in the morning and Franco ought to have left the house already.He wanted to go downstairs but he changed his mind turned around and began to take cautious steps towards the Master bedroom. He was deeply desperate to get the job with Aiden done once and for all.Immediately he got to the entrance just as he raised his hands to the door knob the door went open and he slowly looked up to see Franco at the door, he wasn’t even dressed like he had anyway to go.“What are you doing here?!” Franco queried with knitted brows, Nimi stepped back immediately as Franco stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him.“You’re not going to the corporation today?!” Nimi asked trying to steady his breath as he followed closely behind Franco.“That’s not the question I asked you! What were you doing at my door?!”Franco replied sternly.“Uhmm actually I … I was coming to see you concerning was you asked me to fin
Later that Evening…“I’ve been trying to call you all day what’s going on?!” Jenna said to Nimi as he opened the door of the car for her to step out.“Good Evening Jenna,” he replied with a small smile, ignoring her question as he stretched out his hands to help her out.“What’s going on?! Why are there so many cars packed here this evening?!” “And why are you not answering my question, why is your face like this?!” She questioned turning to look at him as he closed the door.“And why the hell was I forced to wear this dress,” she muttered inaudibly to herself as she pulled it downwards arranging it.“You don’t know?!” Jeremy asked with a small smile coming to her side and taking her hands.“What do you mean you don’t know?!” She snorted as she snatched her hands from his and walked towards the house.Jeremy chuckled as he ran his index finger under his nose making a sniffing sound.“It’s time you back off!” He snorted turning to Nimi before heading inside the house also.“Wow! My Be
“That girl is bitting more than she can chew!!” Franco growled angrily as he stormed into the room with Elizabeth and slammed the door shut.“Calm down Franco,” “What do you mean calm down!” He growled his head snapping towards her direction.“She’s costing us more than we bargained for!”“See the stupid stunt she pulled today! Thank God I decided to listen to you and not go on live!”“Ofcourse you should know the kind of lady you trained, you can’t just put that sort of thing on live!” Elizabeth replied as she gently began to take off her jewelries.“I can’t deal with this, honestly I can’t!” He spat angrily pacing the room.“You brought her up spoilt as your only child ofcourse what were you expecting?!”“Do you think she would feel any sense of indebtedness to you?! Ofcourse what she feels is that all you did for her was your responsibility!”“And she is responsible to make her own decisions now!” Elizabeth said to him as she walked towards him and took her seat beside him.“I tol
Next Morning, Tuesday...“You are off today?!” Jenna asked Quinn as she stepped out of the room, Quinn raised her hands in the air and stretched out with a loud groan.“Don’t worry about me, I called in sick, I have to be here with you!” she replied and Jenna’s features calmed immediately as she stared at her.“Awwn, that’s so sweet!” She muttered, Quinn smiled waving her hands dismissively as she walked up to the kitchenette and leaned on the counter, she slowly took her seat on the stool in front of the counter.“I made breakfast, pancakes and beacon!” Jenna said as she arranged what she had just finished cooking on the counter, Quinn eyeball ran through the plates on the counter and the dishes in it, she scoffed lowly and looked up at Jenna.“You cooked?!”“Are you trying to kill us?!!” She asked, her tone obvious that she was very shocked.“Oh come on Quinn, Applaud me for my effort Atleast!”“I can cook just that I don’t fancy doing it!” She said, Quinn gasped with wide eyes as s
“Where is she?!” Franco asked sternly immediately Nimi walked into the house.“Humm,” he muttered at loss of what to say as he slowly turned back to face the door.“I couldn’t find her, she wasn’t at Quinn’s “ he replied, Franco slowly stood up from his chair and turned to face Nimi.“So?!”“Have you forgotten your job!”“Are you telling me Jenna is smarter than you and that you can’t find her anywhere?!” He growled.“I’m sorry sir,”“Don’t tell you you’re sorry, get the hell out and find her for me!” He yelled.The door slowly went open, they paused and turned to look at it,“There will be no need for that!” Jenna voiced as she let the door close behind her, she took slow amd steady footsteps inside, totally ignoring Nimi.“Can you tell me why you chose to embarrass me the way you did dad?!” She questioned, standing in front of him.“I should be the one doing the questioning!” Franco growled in reply.“On what grounds?!” Jenna replied.“Huhh, tell me dad! On what basis are you to com
****“You’re right,” Aiden exhaled as soon as Nimi was done ranting about his discovery and everything that has been happening.“Jenna isn’t Franco’s only child, infact Jenna isn’t Franco’s child!” Aiden said, Nimi stumbled backwards absolutely stunned at what Aiden had just said.“What are you talking about!” He muttered.“What do you mean she’s not Franco’s child!” “The girl who saved you is Franco’s real and only daughter, Fiona!” “Fiona,” Nimi muttered as he slowly stepped forward and took his seat in front of Aiden.“How come jenna was the one in the picture at the public appearance and then Fiona was with me,”“Who exactly is Jenna’s father then, there’s something you’re not telling me Aiden what is it!” Nimi growled as he leaned into the desk towards Aiden.“Ahh man, look at me, thinking you stormed into my office because you had a successful job done, now this?!”“I did not know you already became a detective!” Aiden muttered as he reclined in his chair.“That is not the que
“She still have refused,” Franco said to Elizabeth, who was seated at the other side of the bed and on her phone.“I have to find a way to make her do it, Bob is on my neck already and getting impatient,”“Plus I need her to transfer their assets to my name as soon as possible,” he said but Elizabeth didn’t flinch or toss or turn.“Elizabeth!” He thundered and she slowly turned to face him.“Umm, you were talking to me?!”“What do you mean you were talking to me?! I just said something important and you didn’t react or say anything!”“Honestly in all of these fight with Aiden I feel alone!” He muttered and she slowly dropped her phone and turned to him.“What do you mean you feel alone, Aiden was her the other day right and I made my stand clear!” She replied.“But still, I feel like I’m in this alone, he is your first love right and I only snatched you from him, I think your mind is still with him” he muttered.“What?! I find that very insulting!”“Why are you so insecure Franco?! I
“Wow! If it ain’t my bride to be!” Jeremy teased as Jenna walked towards him, she rolled her eyes at him as she removed her bag from her shoulder and took her seat in front of him.“I’m only here because I’m obligated to, don’t humor me Jeremy!” She muttered and he chuckled lightly.“Come on wifey, loosen up a bit, we’re getting married soon, you should start opening up!” He said with a sly smile, she opened up her bag as she took out her jotter, pen and tablet.“Jeremy, are you going to talk business or I should leave?!” She replied sternly, her attempt focus on setting her tablet in the table , he waved his hands dismissively at her immediately.“Alright, that’s fine that’s fine!” He muttered.“I knew coming out to meet you today was a bad idea,” she muttered inaudibly as they got to business.****“Three million dollars?!”“What the hell do you intend to use the money for?!” Elizabeth growled to Annabeth over the phone, her scowl deepened turning to Aiden as they heard Annabeth ca
Two weeks later ….“I don’t trust you, where are you taking me to,” Jenna said turning to Quinn.“I don’t understand, can’t me and my friend just dress up and go out?!” She asked and Jenna nodded with a small smile.“Okay then, whatever you say,” Jenna replied as she relaxed in her seat and took out her phone.It’s been two weeks since Franco and Elizabeth were arrested, although they tried to be smart on the court day but they weren’t so lucky, Franco was sentenced to life in prison and Elizabeth Ten years in prison.Franco committed suicide two days later but Elizabeth decided to do her terms in the realization that she deserved whatever was coming to her.She had a conversation with Annabeth, Fiona and Jenna already and she apologized to them, she admitted her wrongs and they forgave her, especially Jenna, Elizabeth was more than a mother to her than the rest of them and she loved her also.Annabeth left Canada about three days ago to go back and see her adopted family, and their l
Jenna huffed silently as she slowly looked down at her hand that Nimi had suddenly dropped and slowly tucked it in her back pocket, she had totally forgotten that Nimi mentioned he had something to do with her in the past.“You have no idea how happy I am to see you,” Nimi whispered as he disengaged from the hug and pulled her into another hug.Fiona chuckled lightly as she wrapped her hands tightly around him also, and others just sat back and watched in confusion.“It’s good to see you survived everything that happened back then, I tried to find you I promise,” he whispered and she nodded gently with a small smile.“It’s fine, you couldn’t have found me anyways, I’m happy you’re still alive also,” she said and he nodded slowly.“Well I am,” he replied , she gently held his hands and led him towards the table, Jenna exhaled deeply as she walked in behind them, just as she was about to take her seat, Fiona pulled out the chair and sat beside Nimi.Wordlessly Jenna rounded the table an
“Oh my God,” Jenna exhaled deeply as she walked towards her room and pulled the door open, Nimi quickly reached forward and pulled her back,“What are you doing?!” He asked pulling her close to himself and closed the door behind her.“Going to my room, what’s going on,” she whispered looking at him so lost.“What happened to staying with me in my room,” he whispered and her lips slowly curved into a smile realization dawning on her.“You’re a bad boy,” she whispered and he laughed as he slowly took her lips in a kiss and they made their way towards his room in a zigzag unsteady motion.“I could kiss you all day,” he whispered to her as soon as they got into his room, and she chuckled as they disengaged from the kiss.“It’s so nice to finally be in your family’s good book,” she said and he smiled, “Oh, you’re not very difficult to like, you eventually charmed them, I saw that coming,” he replied and she released a small laugh.“It didn’t quite seem like that two days ago though,” she
“What gave you the right Tolu, who exactly do you think you are to pull that rubbish stunt on me!” Nimi growled, Becky stood up at once and walked towards her children.“What’s going on Nimi, tell me what happened!” She said, Nimi slowly took his eyes off Tolu and it landed on their mother.“Can you believe she actually paid Debbie to go out with me!” He yelled his veins nearly popping out.“Haba! Tolu!” Becky exclaimed as she turned to look at her.“Was that how horrible I looked to you! I told you to trust me that I had everything under control,” he spat angrily.“And then you went ahead to pay someone to go out with me?! For what?! As what!”“You paid someone to go out with me?! The more I think about it the more annoyed I get! To think that I was even worried and felt guilty for Debbie and then I find out she wasn’t really into me!”“What if I had fallen in love with her?!”“I was just trying to help,” Tolu retorted.“You look like you needed company, I just wanted to help you!”
He slowly broke off the kiss and he looked up at her, Jenna didn’t waste time in slamming her lips back on his, he moved her closer to himself as he deepened the kiss and took charge.He stood up from the chair and carried her in his arms as they continued kissing all the way to his room.Immediately they got to the room he placed her on the bed and knelt in front of her, “Never you consider leaving me again!” He muttered as he slowly unbuttoned her pyjamas.“I can’t think straight when you’re close,” he muttered as he gently took her top off and her body came bare before him, he resumed kissing her as he gently laid her on the bed not breaking off the kiss, Jenna moaned as his arms roamed her body and her hands slowly made its way to unbuttoning his shirt also.*****The sun rays filtered in through the window, Jenna squinted her eyes in her sleep before they finally fluttered open.She looked beside her and the other side of the bed was empty, her face reddened as she pushed the du
“I don’t like her for you!”“And when have I said I want to be with her again?! I’m willing to listen to you and Tolu, you’re right Loving her had cost me a lot,” he said.“At the risk of your own happiness?! You don’t have to say anything to me Nimi, it’s written all over your face, you’re still inlove with her,” she said to him and his shoulders slowly slumped and his head curved downwards.“Why Nimi?! Why did you chose such a painful love,” she whispered.“What then do you want from me !” He muttered resignately.“I want to see you happy, I want you to look at your wife the way you look at Jenna, and you have never looked at Debbie this way,”“As much as I don’t like her for you, I don’t want you unhappy,” she said, just as he was about to reply, her phone began to ring and it was a video call from Tolu.“Mom have you heard what your son has been up to recently, can you believe that white girl is in the country and he picked her over me!” Tolu ranted as soon as the call got connect
Minutes Later …Nimi and Jenna sat side by side on the bench outside the restaurant, their hands were folded across their chest and their legs folded on each other as they stared into space quietly.“I’m guessing, somehow you read my letter,” Nimi said finally breaking the icy silence.“ I’m sorry Nimi,” she finally said as she uncrossed her legs and turned to face him.“Sorry for what exactly?!” He muttered in reply his gaze still not meeting hers.“Sorry for not trusting me?! Or sorry for not listening to me, sorry for getting rid of me and getting married to Jeremy right after?!” He added as his eyes slowly made his way towards her face.“You have all right to be angry Nimi, I don’t want to say I understand how you must have felt because I don’t ,”“I regretted my decision with every fiber of being in me Nimi, I shouldn’t have behaved so irrationally !” She said and he nodded slowly.“I hurt you Nimi and I’m sorry, I hope you find a place in your heart to forgive me,” she said and
Next day ….Canada …..“Jeremy what’s going on with Jenna?! It’s been four days nobody has heard from her ! Are you sure you haven’t either?!” Quinn asked in a small growl rolling her eyes at him, she still hated his guts and hated him more for the mere fact that he enabled Jenna to go to Canada alone with informing anyone or without their joint efforts.They were actually on a group video call, Darrell slowly placed his hands on her thighs and rubbed it slowly, trying to tell her to calm down.“I promise it was only the day she arrived I spoke to her, I haven’t been able to get through to her since then,”“Well you caused this nonsense,” she snapped and Annabeth finally cleared her throat.“Don’t get too bothered,” she said to her.“How can I not get too bothered, she’s there all alone in a strange land with no help! And worse we can’t get across to her!”“What were you thinking letting her do this huh!” “What did you guys think would be the result!” She yelled.“Relax Quinn, I’m s
Meanwhile ….Nimi packed in front of Debbie’s house, he stepped out of the car, rounded it quickly and opened the door for her.Debbie was Tolu’s friend that she had set him up with, they just had dinner and he was dropping her off and so far so good, her company had been nice.“Thank you,” she said with a wide smile as she took his hand and stepped out of the car.“I enjoyed myself today, thank you for going out with me,” she said with a small smile, and she nodded slowly.“I had fun also,” he replied, she was beautiful also, she had a fair and flawless caramel skin, she was nice and she spoke eloquently too, but the only thing was that she wasn’t Jenna.He gently stepped forward deciding to take the bull by the horn, Tolu was right he need to move forward, he gently placed tucked her hair behind her ear and pulled her close to him, slowly he bent to her height and slammed his lips on hers.He tried to muster feeling but none came, it was just bland, she definitely wasn’t Jenna but
