30 Minutes later …..“Let’s go,” Jenna said firmly as she walked out of her office, not sparing Nimi a glance.Her facial expression was composed, depicting neither anger nor joy.“This early?! Is there something wrong?!” He asked as he followed swiftly behind her, the urgency in her voice had caught him off guard, ignoring both him and the greetings of other staff, Jenna made her way towards the parking lot.As they approached their car, Nimi quickly reached the car door ahead of her and held it open. She stepped into the car without a word, and he closed the door firmly behind her. Settling into the front seat they began their journey home.“What’s going on Jenna?! You seem angry, is there something wrong?!” Nimi’s words broke the thick silence in the car, his eyes fixed on her through the rear mirror.“There nothing wrong!” She replied curtly, her voice expressing no emotion.She wasn’t angry at the moment, but she also wasn’t in the mood to talk or joke around, she wanted to be an
Next day ……“Take care sweetheart,” Elizabeth said as she pulled Jenna into a tight hug, she rubbed her back slowly and Jenna smiled as they disengaged.“Thank you for doing this dear,” Franco said patting her back gently.Nimi quietly walked in, took her suitcase from her and carried it out.“Jeremy will meet you at the airport,” Franco informed and she nodded slowly, totally not interested, as a matter of fact she prayed he would come up with an excuse and not meet her there.As soon as she stepped out, Nimi swiftly moved forward and held the door open for her.“Make sure she gets to the airport safely, and return home on time!” Franco instructed, his voice firm.“Yes sir!” Nimi answered with a respectful bow, Jenna’s brows furrowed immediately, the meaning of her father’s last instruction dawned on her.“Wait, he’s not going with me?!” She questioned.“No he’s not,” Franco answered firmly, leaving no rooms for disapproval or disagreement.Nimi stepped forward, got into the front se
“He has the location, watch him!” Franco replied shortly, Tom nodded and walked out it of the office.He just realized he was so obsessed with getting Jenna a bodyguard that he didn’t bother to look into the person he hired, recently he decided to look into Nimi’s background, Aside the obvious fact that he relocated to Canada at age sixteen, he found nothing else.His profile was too discreet and clean for comfort, and from his own part of the world, someone who seemingly intentionally makes his life so private and profile very difficult to find, definitely was hiding something.The first person his mind went to was Aiden, he needed to be sure Nimi wasn’t affiliated with Aiden in anyway, hence the reason he decided to not let him go with Jenna, to have him stay back and run this wild goose chase.Immediately Nimi stepped out of the corporation, he dismissed the driver and took his position, Franco had specifically ordered that he pick and drop off the bag alone, so he had to drive him
Canada …..The Thatcher’s Mansion ……4:00pm ….“Ma’am, someone is here to see you!” An house assistant said to Elizabeth peeping into the room.“I’ll be down soon.” She replied not sparing her a glance, shortly after, she was done styling her hair, she got up from the vanity chair and made her way downstairs.“What the hell are you doing here!” She gritted immediately she saw Aiden seated in their living room, his legs crossed and a small almost permanent smirk on his face.“It’s been such a long time, this place hasn’t changed so much!” He replied instead, looking around the house.“I asked a question Aiden! What do you want here!” She repeated as she moved closer to him.“After so many years of living with Franco you’re starting to behave like him!” He commented as he stood up to his feet and walked towards her.“You’re now very feisty I like it!” He added with a deep smirk at the corner of his lips.“Get out of my house now while I’m still being nice!” She gritted, getting frustrat
That same night …..Canada ….“Aiden came here today,” Franco’s movement stilled immediately he heard Elizabeth voice say that, he dropped his wristwatch on the table and turned to her immediately.“What for?!” He questioned, deep lines of frown forming on his forehead.Elizabeth could see the veins on his neck popping out as he clenched and unclenched his jaw, impatience shimmered in his eyes as he waited for her reply.“Relax Franco,” Elizabeth stood up from the bed, walked towards him and wrapped her hands around him from behind.“How can you tell me to relax, Aiden came here when it was just you at home!”“I don’t trust that skunk!” He gritted staring at her through the mirror, a small smile formed on her face, she inhaled deeply and rested her face on his back.“I choose you Franco!” She murmured.“I’m here with you now, isn’t that what should matter!”“I love you Franco, and I’m standing with that till my last breath!” She said,“Hmm,” Franco murmured, he held onto her hands and
Next day, Wednesday Morning …Canada ….Franco groaned deeply as he turned in bed, it hasn’t even being a week yet, but it has been a long week. Without Jenna even realizing, she has successfully being able to put him in a tight spot, planning, scheming and devising, just for everything to go in his way, and in the way that would largely benefit their family and ofcourse himself.He stretched out his hands to pull Elizabeth closer to him, Atleast to feel her warmth before he got up and repeat the almost frustrating loop he had come to be living these past few days. But, his hands just ran through the bed. Her space was empty.His eyes fluttered open immediately, he turned slowly to look at the small alarm clock on the bedside lamp, it read 5:30am….She wasn’t supposed to go to her store today, why was she up so early!He gently stood up from his bed, put on his flip flops and made his way out of the room, just as he got to the entrance, he heard light sobs coming from the walk in clo
“And you say you’re not in love with your problematic boss?!” Nimi heard a lady’s voice ask softly as she took her seat in front of him.Since Jenna left, he had been kind of free with no one to protect and all, except ofcourse for the few jobs Aiden asked him to take on occasionally, after his little squabble with his sister earlier he suddenly began to crave Nigerian delicacy, he had the money and most importantly the time, so here he was!.“It’s me the lady at the park, remember?!” She added as soon as she saw the shock in his eyes as he stared at her.“Ofcourse, I remember you!” He whispered, still trying to wrap his head around why she was here, this was obviously more than a coincidence.It couldn’t just be a coincidence that he would bump into her two days in a row.“I’m just surprised to see you, again, here!” He added, his voice heavily laced with suspicion.“I’ve bumped into you two days in a row now, are you stalking me?!” He asked as he leaned into the table.“What?!” “I
Canada ….Nimi sighed deeply as soon as he was done eating, he looked around the small cafeteria in search of Annabeth but she wasn’t anywhere around. He actually wanted to apologize, even if she was actually a spy, that wasn’t the correct way to go about it, now if she was actually a spy it would now be more complicated and difficult to find her out.Well that was besides the point actually, he just wanted to apologize for his attitude earlier, something he was supposed to have done immediately she had an outburst. He pushed his chair backwards and stepped out, he inhaled deeply and exhaled as the fresh air hit him, he felt full and seemingly closer to his family.As he looked up, and he saw Annabeth walking out of the gate, he instinctively made to rush after her but the intrusive loud ringtone of his phone in his pocket stopped him, he paused with an exasperated sigh as he watched her walk out of the gate, get into her car and drive off.He slowly brought out his phone from his
