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
Later that night …..California …..-“You broke me, you ruined my life”- Jenna’s angry voice resounded in Jeremy’s head, he stared at the TV, a hundred percent not watching whatever it was displaying, he was in deep thought.Jenna outburst earlier had actually reminded him of every single detail of what happened between them.“Okay maybe I really did her bad!” He mumbled to himself, and for some reasons even very surprising to him, he wanted to earn her forgiveness.“Jenna please would you atleast talk to me,” He said, rushing to his feet as soon as he saw Jenna walk out of the room.She was dressed in a short glittery red dress, which showed her perfectly hour glassed shape, on a black sandal, she held the black clutch purse in her hand tightly as Jeremy approached her.Since their argument earlier this afternoon, sharing the same space with him had felt really stuffy and suffocating, she couldn’t take it anymore she decided to go into town atleast and find a welcome distraction.Jus
California ….Next day, Thursday Morning ……Jenna's eyes fluttered open, she winced slightly at the throbbing pain in her head as she tried to sit up on the bed her eyes barely open, the dull pain coursed through her temples, a reminder of the excessive alcohol from the previous night. As her consciousness slowly kicked in, her gaze slowly swept through the room trying to piece her surrounding and just make sense of everything.Her heart pounded immediately she noticed Jeremy lying at the other side of the bed. Her breathing hiked immediately as what happened between them yesterday began to resurface in her head.Shit!” She muttered, she had mistaken him for Nimi.Slowly, her eyes traveled downward, she held her breath pensively as she looked beneath the duvet.The realization struck her like a bolt of lightning, she was naked beneath the duvet. Panic welled within her members, but just as soon as she leaned in ready to rip the duvet off his body and push him out of the room, a sur
Nimi collapsed to the floor immediately he walked into his apartment, for the first time in years he felt totally weak.He thought this part of his life had been safely tucked away and unable to taunt him until today, he slowly brought out the bracelet from his bag and stared at it, how the hell did it get into Franco’s possession.The bracelet was actually two in one, but he found only one in Franco’s drawer, it was a bracelet he got for himself and his sister.They promised never to take it off until that fateful event forcefully took it away from him.*Flashback*Sixteen year old Nimi wandered in the dark, deserted alley, he was trying to find somewhere to get food to eat, since his uncle left him alone at home all day without anything to eat.It was his eighth day in canada, he was quite amused that he had to walk such a long distance before he could get food, that was very unlike Nigeria, everywhere you turn there’s surely something you could actually feed on.As he walked on, h
