I wish the question was the other way around, but I guess, this is not the time to say the truth, after all."He is not that bad, but I am not very sure about love". I answered. That should make him happy if he feels anything for me, that should tell him that I want him, that should tell him to just end this drama, so we can all have this time to ourselves. For it would have made me happy, if he had looked into my eyes, the way he was looking now, and told me that he doesn't love Ariana. I would have had a new surge of hope."What is really the problem? I heard him ask, after he took me to the long couch, and made me relax my back, while he stared into my eyes."What are you asking."The way you are going about your relationship life, are you sure you are ever going to fall inlove with anyone? Or should I ask what I have in mind? As soon as I heard him say that, I swallowed hard and sat up. I resolved within myself that if he asks me if I love him, I would just tell him the truth. I
I took the handkerchief from him and wiped my nose, then he helped me stand on my feet, and held me by the waist. I was looking into his eyes, I didn't want to ask him any questions or say anything to him, in silence of our heart, all that was not said, could be understood with the way our eyes was longing for each other.He brought his phone out and played a song, then he started tapping his finger to the song. It was funny, I didn't know he loves music, but his kind of music, isn't really the type I love to listen to, even though I heard some that I love from his collections.I love the fact that he didn't ask me why I was crying, and he is only interested in making me smile, because if he had asked me, I don't think I would have been able to lie to him." I heard you are a good dancer huh? He whispers into my ears and I only smiles."I don't want to dance". I replied to him and he refused, pulling me into his arms and swinging me around. You wouldn't know how much I can dance, if
I thought they were going to leave, but I was surprised, when Ariana, spoke."We are all going to eat at home then. We are willing to eat the food made by you Darius". She says laughing at him like he doesn't know how to cook."Rina, you sound like you don't think he can cook". I asked and she chukkled."Well that is because I don't think he can, since I have known him, he has never even boiled water before". She says, but Darius didn't seem moved by it, for he says." A king is not recognize in his home town, but since you are all eating here, no problems, but first, I need to ask Myles if there are any preferences so that I know what I am doing, for I would not want to have a life threatening issue in my hand". Darius says and that sounded as though he was mocking Myles, which I didn't like, and would not take it from him. I watch Ariana, who is supposed to support her man, also laughing at such dry jokes, and I had to speak up, especially when I noticed that Myles was not smiling
"Hey! I said, almost as though I was whispering and he looked up at me, and then looked back down to what he was doing, which was playing with the hibiscus."You know, this is my favorite too". He says and I nodded. He planted the flower there, because he knows it's my favorite."Yes I know. I didn't like it before, but somehow you made me fall inlove with it. I mean, the way you take care of the flower garden in the main compound and how they started to blossom afterwards, shows that anything can be beautiful, as long as it is well cared for". He seem happy hearing me say that, he sat up and then turned to me."Why are you always so nice to me? He asked and I smiles. This time I was not thinking of what could or could not happen I have given up on believing that he could ever say anything towards the direction I am hoping he would."You are my best friend Myles, the best thing that has ever happened to me, and if I am to come back to this world a million times, I would still want t
Weeks had passed since that night, and life at school resumed its usual rhythm.Myles and I, never broached the subject again, though I hoped he would initiate the conversation. But as time went on, it remained untouched and our interactions became infrequent.Despite my lingering feelings, I found solace in the companionship of Darius, who kept me occupied. Our study sessions were frequent, though at times, he would want to end it with an intimate mood or conversation, still his presence at my place filled the gaps, leaving little room to cross paths with Myles, despite our close proximity.While ensuring Darius was taken cared of, I didn't neglect my duties towards Myles, I cooked for him daily, as I would not want him eating anything that would hurt him.However, as I sat alone in my room, Darius barged In, looking tense. His intrusion surprised me, considering we had just seen eachother a few hours prior.Seating himself nearby, he abruptly changed the TV channel to sport, without
I was thinking that Myles would notice that I was hurt, but somehow, he is the one that looks hurt. I couldn't stand seeing him so pained, he was holding on to his stomach, that I became so worried for him."What is the problem, I asked, walking towards him to grab his hands. He looks like he would fall, if he is not held close. He placed one of his hands on my waist, as I help him get in."I don't know, I don't feel so well". He says, and as soon as I heard that, I thought of so many things, all at the same time."What did you eat? I asked, helping him inside the house, I made him relax on the soft couch, I removed his foot wears, and started to unbutton his shirt, I wanted to stop myself half way, because seeing that much of his body, might just bring back all the feelings I thought I had overcome, but for his sake, I had to, go on, I twisted the last button, then pressed on his stomach and he let out a loud scream."Did you eat something you were not supposed to eat? I asked and
His mother came out, and was pretending to be brave. I could tell, that she had been crying, who would hear such a thing and not cry, she saw tears In my eyes and started blinking her eyes in a bit to send back her own tears, that had started forming bubbles around her eyes, but off course, when the heart is too heavy with heart ache, whatever type, it may not be able to hold itself back, it will pour it all out, through that little passage, which happens to be the eyes.A tear found it way down her cheek and she immediately wiped it, then she reached out to her handbag, and brought out her eyeglass, which she immediately put on. She went to a corner to explain to my mother what it is that was said, hoping that I wouldn't hear. I was a bit far from where they both stood, but I heard my mother say."Kiara should not know this. His mother was quiet, but my mother wasn't, her worry was on me, finding out. She won't be able to handle it". She added. That was true, I don't know how to h
I was seriously trying to shake the gloom of what is happening with Myles out of my thought and the fact that he has refused to even open his eyes since he was brought in.Somehow I feel he could hear voices, and he could tell the people in the room, so he decided that leaving his eyes closed, is the best option for him.At some point, I even started thinking that she was loosing it. On the day Myles finally opened his eyes, I was alone with him in the room, others had left me alone, saying they had to do one thing or the other, but I just cannot leave him all in the name of going back to school. Though I would want to keep up a good grade, I could never get a good grade, with my best friend in the hospital.I soon started feeling like I was depressed.I already know the feeling of depression, they include, feeling of hopelessness, difficulty concentrating, irritability, tearfulness, and loss of interest. I could try to tell myself that I am fine, and I do not need to think that
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
