He stared long at her, then tries to move away, when she held him by the arm. Answer me! She wasn't screaming, but she was staring sternly at him."And you are just noticing it? He asked and made to walk away, when she turned to stand in front of him, then spoke in shock."You are! You are really inlove with my daughter. Ha! But why have you never told her, I mean all these years, when did you find out you were inlove with her? She asked, he got furious, for he expected her to know, just like his mother found out on her own."Since like forever. isn't it obvious? He started moving away to the waiting area, where he could find himself a seat, she followed him behind, shocked that the both of them have been living in mystery for so long, and never voiced it out. She thought of all the nights her daughter had tried to tell him how she feels, but could never open her heart too, for she was scared he might reject her. When she caught up with him, she sat close to him, and silence eluded
She rushed to the restroom on the plane, and started crying, she didn't want anyone seeing her cry.Seeing him so sad, hurts her even more, but going away is just the right thing to do, because if she didn't go, she will feel worse, knowing he will never love her, and he will just apologize, telling her that what happened between them was a mistake, which will hurt her even more.How could her pride, which she had kept for so long, be a mistake? It is better she doesn't hear such a thing from him.She was still crying, when she heard a knock, someone else wants to use the restroom, she knew she should come out, a whole lot of shits can happen in the rest room of a plane. She went back to her seat, and closed her eyes, wishing she could close her eyes and sleep till she gets home.Her flight was smooth, and airy, after a while, she has already landed.At the receiving corner, her father was there waiting for her. This was supposed to be some cheerful moment for her, but she was too sa
Myles got home, after a long day of putting things in order, and kicking arse, but as soon as he entered the gate, he looked around him, fixating his eyes on her apartment. Whenever they come home like that, she would just run to the left, playfully, while he could follow her immediately, or he could continue on the right, but now, he has come home alone, and she is not running to the other side. She isn't even with him, and oh yes! she isn't even talking to him, or taking his calls.Staring long at her side, he suddenly feels like going in there, maybe it will make him feel her presence. He walked absentmindedly, towards her apartment, and opened the door, nothing seems out of place, every thing was still in place, just as it is supposed to be, though she never messes things up, she is the tidy one, the intelligent one, the calculative one, he looked around the house, and could see her face everywhere. The fragrance of Mango perfume filled the entire house, as though she was in th
Just seeing the Diary, he started to battle withing himself. Should I, or should I not open this diary? it felt like his good and bad conscience, were in a battle. He decided to stop and listen to his heart.Was there really any point checking the diary? He asked himself out loud rhetorically.What does he hope to find, that he doesn't already know? After all, he has one of his own like that too, and he wouldn't want her to see it, because he has his feelings laid down there. How he hated dating other girls, when he knows within him, that they are never for him.Still thinking of the hurt of crossing boundaries, he remembers that they had a fight that day, she hasn't said anything to him, he hasn't even gotten to speak to her, since that night, maybe her diary could explain better, he felt that before she left, she must have told her diary, how she feels, and how angry she is with him, he wanted to know, so he decided to read the last part of the diary, but just then, when he opened
Having one of his fingers in the page he just finished reading, he knew he still wanted to read more, but since from the first page, all he could see was that she wanted her best friend to be proud of her, what more should he read. He didn't want to be disappointed.As he tries to open the next page, the same way he had felt when he wanted to open it for the first time, repeated. Will he ever forgive himself for crossing boundaries? A whirlwind of emotions ensues, he could feel them all at the same time. Regrets, empathy, guilt, understanding, and a newfound appreciation for the complexity of her life. Her life was indeed complex, that he had wanted the same thing so much, yet, he didn't notice it, because she never said anything.He stared at the diary in his hand, and That moment, when his conscience grapples with curiosity and the weight of the decision to go ahead no matter what, reverberate within, leaving him in a state, of contemplation and introspection.The next page was m
Being alone with in her father's house, Kiara tries to keep herself busy with some books. They were her favorite story books, she could read them like a million times, and not get bored, but each likes, seem to remind her of Myles, for he had read to her before. She tries reading more, other books that she never shared with him, but none was working. At times like this, she looks up at her Teddy, her best friend, but She had left her Teddy back at home, she regrets it already. That's the only friend she has, she wish she didn't leave it behind, even her diary, she should be able to tell it all her hidden feelings. She should be able to tell it, why she is crying, yet so stubborn that she just cannot understand why she is still fighting him.What happened that night, wasn't entirely his fault, yet she is blaming him.Her heart became so heavy, she broke down in tears.She was crying, when her phone rang, and it was her mother, she was excited to hear from her, even though she had made
Her heart beat even faster, she wants to believe her mother, but then, is Myles saying he loves her now, after all these years, or did someone already told him that she is inlove with him. That must be it, her mother, must have told him, and now he wants to tell her, just to make her feel better and not pursue the transfer, come back to him as what exactly.As his best friend, who was his lover only for one night? And sure he must have enjoyed the sex so much, he fell inlove instantly. How stupid she was, to even take the call? But she has taken it already, all she need to do now, is listen to his trash."I know you can hear me Kiki, and even if you are not going to say anything I understand, as long as you can hear me.Kiki dear, for so long, I have tried, looking for the easiest way to say this, and even now, not looking at you, I still don't know how to begin. I know I haven't said this before, and I have been too scared to say it, but I love you".It came out finally. How hard wa
In the whirlwind of financial turmoil, Ariana and Darius found themselves in a precarious situation.They argued a lot, always fighting and saying hurtful words to eachother, but they would always make up, even though the fight was getting too much, and become unbearable.Ariana's reliance on Myles, whom she was fooling, and lying to, just to keep him as her financial benefactor, came to an abrupt halt as the truth unraveled, when Myles had found y that they weren't blood relatives, as she had claimed and wanted him and Kiara to believe.She fooled him so we'll, and he even started to support him financially.This made Myles, in his anger to hurt her some more, he knows that the best way to hurt Ariana, is to remove every financial aid she could get, from anywhere that concerns him, and that was exactly what he did, leaving her in a dire state of financial vulnerability.She could no longer buy the things she loves to buy, or eat at her favorite restaurant, because she knows that he w
Weeks passed since after then, and Kiara and Myles, decided that it was time for them to take their relationship to the next level. Having conquered a lot, and done with school, and also celebrated their passing out of school and Myles coming into his full power, as the boss of the company, and with the help of Kiara's intelligent, have been able to stand in line as the richest and most sorted company in all the federation, they decided that taking that bold step to feel responsible as a married man and woman, is the ideal thing to do.Myles was super excited to hear that Kiara is finally ready for the next step, and he made plans to make it a grand wedding.Before the day of the wedding, there were so many people coming in, to tell them one thing or the other, on how they could enjoy each other's company and enjoy the marriage, but that was something they already know, they didn't need all that lecture, but it was still very much welcomed.The day of the wedding finally came and they
The wedding between Steve and Ariana, was one of a kind.The ceremony takes place in a beautiful garden, adorned with white flowers and green ivy. It was so colourful and spoke volumes of what the couple felt.A gentle breeze rustles through the leaves and the soft chirping of birds adds to the serene atmosphere.Friends and families are seated in elegant white chairs, eagerly awaiting the union of Ariana and Steve, whom they are yet to set eyes on.Soft instrumental music plays in the background as guests are seated. humming to the music, The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and Joy.The music, soon shifts to a romantic melody as the bridal party begins their walk down the aisle. No one was available to take Ariana to the alter, she didn't have anyone, but she is stunned as Kiara was willing to wheel her down to the alter, and hand her over to Steve, who is looking handsome in his tailored suit, as he stands at the altar, his eyes fixated on the entrance. Waiting for Ariana
When her father saw her walking in, he smiles, he was trying to encourage her, that he would come out soon, but when the judge spoke again, asking, if anyone, any witness could come forward to help the case, before he closes the case, she raised her hands, and everyone turned to her, still her father was in smiles, for he could never have thought that his daughter would raise her hands to speak against him, instead, he believes that it is to support him. He didn't even want her raising her hands to speak, for there was no need, he had already won the case, Darius was dead. He would have been the only one talking, but since he is dead, he wouldn't be bothering anyone ever again.When she was given audience, and was brought forward, she swore to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, and then she began."My father is a good man". She looked around and the expressions on people's faces didn't change, especially since they were not expecting anything less from her. But then, she cont
Darius was getting it hot inside the correctional centre. His only luck was that he is alone in his cell. Darius was hopeful. He initially thought Sonia's father would not hesitate to bring him out, since he also got out, after he was arrested at first. Sonia's Dad, was questioned and he denied having anything to do with him, and since he doesn't have any proof, he will be denied, but then, Darius was hoping he would help him get out, after all, he was working for him, and he may not have any proof of dealings with him, because all the transactions have been with a middle man, yet there is no way his name will not be mentioned, when talking about why he is behind bars, and what he is doing in Myles' company.He had been charged to court, and he will appear before the court in a few days. Ariana have heard about it, and have contacted Myles and Kiara, telling them that she was willing to testify against him and the people he was dealing with. Steve didn't want that, but looking at
Ariana recovered quickly, and though the plans to get married that weekend didn't work anymore, she was fit and ready to go home, two weeks after. The only problem was that, she couldn't walk on her own, without the aid of a wheelchair. Though she was not happy about that, for someone who always walk elegantly, and somehow, she feels that is what Steve had fallen for, but now that she is no longer able to swing her hips and move elegantly, he might stop loving her.She kept looking into the face of the people around her, and wondering what she ever did to deserve their love and forgiveness. Kiara was in smile, and was very supportive, Steve was also staring at her with love, and she started to wonder, if she really deserves Steve, who had not left her sight, since she was taken to the hospital, She forced him to go home and change, but he refused, she even told him that he stinks, and she couldn't breath properly because of the smell from him, yet that did nothing to push him away, i
By the time she was taken to the hospital, she had lost too much blood, she needed a blood transfusion, as soon as possible. Everyone was gravely shaken at the fact that she wasn't saying anything. She lay lifelessly on the bed, And everyone thought she might not make it, especially since just recently had an abortion done on herself. The doctor attending to her came in and demanded to speak with her closest acquaintance. Looking at the doctor, it was evidence that he was scared for his patience, and he doesn't know how to drop the news he had come with.Kiara still didn't know how to react when it came to the case of Ariana, she was scared and worried at the same time, she stared long into the eye of the doctor to respond, when Steve spoke up. "I'm her fiancee, and the closest person she has to herself right now, if there is anything wrong with her, you can tell me". He says, with the fear of hearing the worse.Kiara turned to face him, while Myles had his head bowed low. Steve
Upon hearing the name, Myles and Kiara exchanged glances. How could they have missed it? They have been with this person, and not once did they notice any trace that she is not a she, but a he, and a known he for that matter.All of a sudden, Myles gasped in fear and everyone turned to look at him."What is it my love? Kiara asked, moving closer to him, and touching his shoulder. in a bit to console him."All the documents we collected from the travel is with her, I mean with him". He says, and Kiara got up from her seat. She could not allow Myles go through a loss on her watch. She looked around her, then stopped her stare at Ariana. They both stared at each other, before she asked."How much do you love Steve? Kiara asked her, and she got up to stand equally with her."I love him with my entire being. I have never felt the way I feel for him, for anyone, I am willing to do anything to redeem what he has with you people, because you are both good. I will do anything for him, wethe
Kiara and Myles were still trying to get over what happened at the office. She haven't even had the time to ask him how his journey went, even though it is evident on his face, that he enjoyed his trip, and it seems he got everything he wanted.Kiara kept watching him, wondering why he was acting all distance, and they have not had time to get intimate in anyway, He was just too angry about Steve and his new found love. As a matter of fact, they were just troubled by the fact that Steve chose Ariana of all people. While contemplating on it all, they got a notification that they had visitors. Kiara wonders who that could be, at such a time. People shouldn't visit at that time, but om a second thought, they never used to have visitors, except family members, but also, since the guards that came to notify them, didn't see it as a problem, that means, they know the visitor and had come to tell them that someone needed to see them, and wouldn't leave to come back the next day, they deci
She found herself a seat close to her, and Ariana had to look deep into her eyes to be sure of what she was looking at. Then she whispered."Darius? He smiles, then later changed his tone and started laughing like a lady."They are all busy inside, discussing you, so I don't have much time to waste. But I like your smart move, getting acquitted with a worker of Myles, and even allowing him come to introduce you to them, means you move fast and you have a plan. I like the way you move". He says. Ariana wanted to tell him that with Steve, it was not a game, but she decided to get all the fact about what he was doing at Myles company under the name Serah Julius as her badge says, and why he was even chosen to travel with him. Speaking of moving fast, It was Darius. whatever he was up to isn't good, and he needs to be stopped, before he destroys something."What are you doing here Darius? She asked. Looking around, to be sure she isn't seen."Doing that same thing you are here to do. I h
