MYLES.I am now very clean, free from all disease, and I don't think I need to keep seeing Ariana around me, but she wouldn't stop coming, claiming to be worried about me, when I could already tell that she doesn't care one bit about me. She is just sticking around because of the house and the other things she gets from me. She was already at the house waiting for me, when I got back from my morning run. I had left the house at the school, and back in the city, trying to keep an eye on everyone possible, that could help find Kiara, but all effort proves abortive, plus she has been gone for too long that I am begining to get too worried for words."What are you doing here? I asked, as soon as I walked in, clearly not happy to see her."I came to check on you". She says, and I rolled my eyes before turning to her."Ariana, you don't have to pretend to be here, checking up on me. I know I told you that I could ask you to leave at anytime, so if that is the reason you are following me
KIARA.The way I see Josh now, is so different from how I used to see him before now, he is suddenly so nice and very sweet. "I will be going out later to get the other things you said you need". He says, and that was when I remembered that I had said that I needed some milk, to which he had promised to go out later to get."But it is almost late, are you still going to go today? I asked, not wanting to disturb him, or be the reason, he should go out late that same night, but since he knows that I really do need the milk, he insisted on going.As I watch him gather himself into a hood, I could only admire him. He is really wonderful, and I feel blessed to have met him. He is the one that reminds me to call my parents, and even takes a walk with me. We have been having a long talk, about inviting my parents to the house. He thinks I should be able to tell them whatever thing that bothers me, but I am still taking my time, and I like the fact that he is being patient with me, but I
I stood transfixed. Encountering Myles at the door was incredibly surprising. As a matter of fact, too surprising for words. Earlier that day, I had glimpsed his guarded demeanor. Somehow I had suspected that he would show up, but not so soon, which means he had been Around all the while and was just waiting for the perfect timing to show his face. I never imagined he would appear, because I had made it clear, I desired solitude, yet now, facing him, I couldn't bring myself to dismiss him. I had planned for this day, I had dreamt of the day I will meet him, I used to say, the day I will face him, will be a special day, because for the first time, I will intentionally break his heart, by the way I will dismiss him, but now, I am just unsure how to respond to his presence. I opened my mouth, but no words came out. As we lock eyes, waves of previous emotions. The ones I had thought were dead, could be felt flooding over me. Despite not uttering a word, sometimes, it isn't about talkin
MYLES.I turned back to see if she was standing there and maybe staring at me, like I would have expected her to do, because I don't want to believe what she said, about not knowing me, but by the time I turned back, she was already out of sight, she had already gone in with that guy. The one she had called Josh."Who was that guy anyway? I couldn't help but ask out loud.Hearing her deliver her crushing words, denying our shared history and revealing her current romantic entanglement, increased the wave of rejection which crashed over me.My heart sank, as the realization sunk in, that the bond we shared may have meant little or nothing to her.Deep within me, I didn't want to believe it. She could just be angry, she has every right to be angry, but then again, thinking aback. Each syllable she had uttered, while looking straight into my eye, had felt like a sharp dagger to my heart, which is already wounded. Her words left me feeling hollow and insignificant.I found myself close
KIARASeeing him again after all these month have brought all my forgotten emotions flooding me, but Josh being right beside me, is the best distraction I could ever think of. I wanted to be alone, but he followed me to my room, and was trying to make me laugh, he was talking about my baby, as though he could already feel the movement. He is going to be a wonderful Dad, and I am glad I had met someone like him. He even played a trick, saying he could make the lights go off, just with his hands, all in a bit to put a smile on my face. I didn't know there was a remote in his hands, and just when I doubted him, telling him it couldn't happen, he raised his hand and the lights went off, when I realize his trick I couldn't help, but laugh so hard. He sure knows how to make someone laugh.I don't think I have laughed so loud that way before, he also looks very happy, seeing me that happy."I just want you to stay happy, and if that guy makes you sad, then he should never come here eve
MYLES.I was so devasted, angry and frustrated, and it was evidence on my face and behaviour. By the time I got back home, I couldn't even explain to my mother, why I was so angry with every one.All the domestic staffs at the house had to avoid me. Non of them wanted to pass by, so I don't ask for anything, since I was playing hard to please. Something I never did before."Are you going to talk to me, or you are you going to keep throwing tantrums, as though it is anybody's fault you are this angry? I heard my mother speak angrily to me, after I had angrily screamed at her personal cook, whom I had told to get me a drink, and since I didn't tell her the particular drink I wanted, she had gotten the one she felt was okay, and instead of me to politely send her back, so she could bring the one I wanted, I started yelling at her, as though she was supposed to know what I am thinking, or the drink I have in mind.Since last night, you came in, you haven't said a word to me, you have j
The next day I planned on going back to Oklahoma with my mother, and her mother off course, because she was taken aback, when my mother called to let her know her daughter is okay. we went to get her mother, so she could go with us. As soon as we got there, I tried engaging her again, like I used to do."Aunty, I am really sorry about everything". I tried apologizing once again to her. That is all I have been doing, whenever I come in contact with her, but she has been giving me the cold treatment, she wouldn't even talk to me, even though I know she likes me. I have tried to explain to her many times, but she will always shut me up, either with a glare, or her hand.While she was gathering a few things into her bag, her phone rings, she took it, and stopped on her track, when she turned to look at me and my mother, I suspected the phone call has to do with our journey."Is everything okay? My mother asked."Yes everything is fine, she is the one that just called, she says she is
KIARAWhen they left, I fell on the couch, and held my head, while my mother nursed Josh's wound."I am so sorry". I told him, and he looked up and smiles."You don't have to worry, I promised to help, and that is what I am doing". He whispered, into my ears, so that my mother doesn't hear, since it is supposed to be a secret.I am glad he understands, and he is getting allng just fine, even though I feel bad, using him to achieve my aim, when I know, he wants more than what I am giving, or what I could ever give."Thank you". I muttered, and he winked at me. That was when I clearly saw the injury on his nose. I felt so angry and guilty, he has been in his solitude state, for so long, and now that I have brought him out, it is just to get him hurt. His mother will be so angry with me, if she learns of what is happening, but as though he could read my mind, he says."It's been so long since I have been outside Oklahoma, I didn't have reasons to come out, but I am glad now that I did
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
