Myles was not making headways, with trying to convince his mother to leave without him, she was still insisting that they both need to go back to the city together."Mother, if I am there, she is going to keep running into me, and I cannot look her in the eye and lie to her, you know we don't stay too far from each other, and I hear she has stopped going to school too, she has exited the house, and she may only go there to take her exams. I don't know how I will be able to live on the same area with her. How I will be able to do that? You need to go and leave me here". He says, but she was not hearing any of it.She initially didn't know why her son was running away before, but now that she does, she couldn't let him be alone to handle the situation. If she keeps telling him or begging him to come back with her, he may keep refusing, so she needed to say it differently."You are coming back with me to the city and that is final, else I am going to tell Kiara everything". She says. T
Slowly staring up at the figure Infront of her, she presented a feigned, but weak smile, which didn't go unnoticed by Myles mother, who was also trying really hard to hide her own hurt. She is going to have to lie to someone she has looked up to as a daughter, for so long, and she is going to break her heart with her lies, but it is for her own good, she can only do it, with the intention that all she is doing is for her own good."How is Myles? She stood at the entrance asking."You are not a visitor Kiara, you are a part of this family, so you are not allowed to stand there, asking me questions, so please come in". She says, with a clear smile, better than the one she had welcomed her in with initially. She walked in and found herself a seat close to the corridor. On a normal, she would have rushed into the room behind her, because that is his room, but she doesn't know why she doesn't feel comfortable, rushing into the room like she used to, whenever she was around at the house,
Myles, slowly emerges from his room, after he was sure, that Kiara was no longer in the premises. Watching her through the window had been a torture for him, and that moment, when she turned back to look, maybe looking for a glimmer of hope, it almost felt like she knew he would be standing there. His mother have made it sound so believable, now she would really think that he doesn't love her.With tears in his eyes, he stood at the centre of the corridor, staring at his mother, his mother, understanding the depth of his sorrow, embraced him, sharing in his emotional turmoil. "I know honey, I know". She says, stroking his back, while he shakes his head to disagree. No one is ever going to understand how much hurt he is going through at the time, he is drowning in his guilt, as he cries. "She is never going to forgive me, mother. I feel like a villain, unable to look her in the eye as I sent you to convey such a heartbreaking message to her. I am consumed by guilt and pain, I think
Still in the solitude of her room, she freely cries her heart out, expressing all the pain she could, about what was going on in her life at the moment. She asked herself "Why will he do this to me, when all I have done is love him unconditionally? Her tears were soaking her blouse, while her heart was soaked in a whirlwind of emotions, she was drowning in her own pool of tears, as no matter how much she tries to forget and move on, she still finds herself going back to what she thought they could be.She tried to trace back to how it all started, and how it was even possible, that all he was seeing was not love, but pity. If he knew all he felt for her was pity, why won't he just say it, she may have been angry, just as she had been, at first, but she would have understood, she would have taken that first time as a mistake between them, but now, he had to make her think that there is a chance between them to embrace a better future, and she have given the rest of herself to him in
The drive back to school was so long and agonizing. A lot was going through her mind, she never thought she would get to that point in her life, when she would see suicide as an option, but the way she was looking into space, and thinking about all the crazy things that has happened this past weeks, all she could think of is ending her life. What was the point in living a life, that is full of regrets and wishes that are never going to come through. If she had known things would turn out this way, she would have stopped him that night. That night when he pulled her close into his bosom, and kissed her hungrily, She thought of it too, she thought of pushing him away, but her body wouldn't let her, she had yearned so much for his love, and touch, and having him come to her like that only made her dreams come through, but little did she know that he was working under the influence of alcohol.She remembers that he had told her that, what he did that night, is what he had always wanted
Kiara, faced Myles, with tears in her eyes, and a broken heart, questioning why she ever fell for him. Despite the turmoil, despite the heartbreaks, and having heard the worst take so far, she couldn't hate him, yet struggled to understand the situation of things, and why he suddenly changed. Seeing that her eyes were tearing, and her tears were dropping profusely he turned to Ariana angrily. "How dare you Ariana! He yelled at her, because of Kiara's tearful state, not trying to impress, but was sincerely angry, that Ariana was getting Kiara angry, and causing her to cry, but Kiara, disappointed, shook her head, then wheeled her bag away.Before she walked away, Myles was driven by emotions and have forgotten everything about the plan of keeping things secret from her, and he was about to pull her close, but Ariana, playing her part, warned Myles of the consequences, if Kiara discovers his illness. Myles was stopped half way, and though his hands were still stretched, he watch her l
Waiting for him, trying to get him to speak to her, and acting like a good friend to him was not working, for he kept calling to find out what was going on with Kiara, who was probably on her own crying her eyes out. No matter what Ariana does, Myles didn't seem to see her at all, she decided that she needed to see Darius, he needs to know what is going on, and what they have to do about the change."I guess I will see you later then, at the school, since you came back for the exam, I am sure that is what Kiara also came back for, which means, we need to be a couple at the school, and you cannot be looking at her, while you are with me, we have to make it look real". She pointed out, because all he has been giving her, is the wring attitude all through, but he shocked her even more with his next statement."If all things work well, I may not be there for the exam, it could be taken online. As a matter of fact, I am begining to get tired of the school, the only reason I wanted to scho
The day of the examination was supposed to be special for Kiara, but it was far from it, she was saddened by the fact that she is going to have to face Myles, even though she doesn't know what the problem really is between them. What they have told her is a lie, and she knows it, because even looking at him, could tell her already, that he was not saying the truth, and to think that he was not able to look her in the eye and say it, and he had to send people to tell her, but seeing her with Ariana after all that is happened is what seem to be confusing her the more.Therefore, arriving for the exam after a month of avoiding eachother due to their ongoing drama, she is faced with an unexpected twist. Earlier that morning, she had felt somewhat sick, and while she was thinking it isn't something serious, her head began to spin, causing her to rethink, if going to take an exam she isn't happy taking, is worth it, or she should just stay at home and nurse herself. She remembers how she
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
