I had a blast with Myles, and I was very happy that at last he felt better to even drive me home with all the stuff he got me from Wallingford.In his usual Manner, when he got to my door step, he still alighted, to walk me into my house."Is mum around? He asked, looking as though he would be spanked, for keeping me with him for so long."I am not sure". I answered, trying to indirectly urge him to come inside, since I was not really ready to allow him go. I enjoyed, every minute I spend with him and I want more of it."That is good then, so I don't get to explain". He says as he helped me get the key from the door mat and opened the door to get my things inside the house.After he was inside the house, and had carefully dropped my things in my room, he came back to sit down with me, holding my hands in his."Thanks once again for yesterday". He says and I nodded my head.We still have few more days before we will leave for school, but I will go before the time, to ensure that your r
I allowed the phone ring for a while, contemplating if I should take the call or just pretend to be tired, but after the first ring, I was reminded that something may have happened, which needs my attention, and so I quickly picked my phone."Hey! I answered, forgetting that the number is a strange one."Hey beautiful, how are you doing? I heard his voice and I didn't need anyone telling me whom the voice belongs to."I am fine and you? I asked, sitting up on the bed, after hearing Darius's voice. I am okay now that I can hear from you, for my night was really bad". He says and I gasped in shock. No matter who is involved, I hate hearing that someone is having a bad day or had a bad day."Oh my gosh, what happened? "Wow! Look how shocked you sound, you really must have goodness in you, but the truth is that, I was thinking about you, all through yesterday and I didn't know what to do, I thought of calling you at that time of the night, but then I was reminded that the time is ungodl
Darius didn't look like a guy who would give up easily, for in the evening of that same day, he came by the house with Ariana."Now you know her house, can I go now? She asked and he nodded, asking her to go, I just stood outside the house, wondering what the both of them were up to.Ariana left with her car, making me wonder, just how Darius plans to go back."What are you doing here Darius? I asked."I was worried. When you ended the chat, you didn't come back online and this is already night, it is not possible that you are still taking a nap? He asked."Actually I just woke up". I said to him and he smiles."That means, you need to move about a bit, you cannot be home all day? I was no longer seeing him as a pest, I was admiring the fact that he was giving me attention and if I really want to take my mother's advise, I might need to work with him, maybe forgetting Myles, won't be such a bad idea."So what are you suggesting? I asked, wanting to hear from the expert, to know what
Just a few more days to leave the city for school and I could already tell that my mother is missing me already. "I will really miss you". She says and I smiles, making a face that says, I will miss her too, but I am happy to be away from the house for once in my life."I know, but it is not like I am going too far, Myles didn't make that happen, so we are still in the same area". I explained to her, and she winked at that, for she knows she will always come looking for me in school whenever she misses me too much."Yes, Myles did well in that aspect. By the way, this guy that have been coming around for some time now, who is he and what is the relationship between you two? She asked me. I had expected her question about Darius sooner, but she seem to be waiting for me to tell her on my own."He is just a friend. He is the cousin, to Myles' girlfriend, so somehow, he is family". I explained, so that she doesn't start thinking. "But he is coming today right? She asked and I nodded,
I didn't want him saying anything to him, that would further annoy him, but I didn't say much to him, I told him I needed to leave."Are you going to him? He asked and I nodded as to say yes.But you said it yourself that the rehearsal is over, and he just called you, going there now won't change anything, it won't make it start again". He was right, but I just needed to leave, I was no longer feeling comfortable staying there. I started feeling like I should have never denied my feelings for him, or abandoned him.Mother was right, Darius was making me forget Myles, but I cannot say, if it is in a good way, or a bad one."Darius, it is already late, and you know I didn't tell my mother I was going out, she wouldn't want me to stay out late, so I need to leave". I was looking him in the eye, while talking, and I could see that he felt hurt that I was almost pushing him aside. "I will take you home, or do you want to go to his house? He asked me. I felt bad, that I decided to just st
How I went through the night was what I could not explain. When I got home, I explained all that happened to my mother, and she could only laugh."I am sure Myles will understand that this is a different phase in your life, and he will understand that you don't have to be with him all the time, or do everything together. He is your best friend, you guys could always still be there for eachother, but it doesn't seem fair, if you inconvenient yourself, just to make him happy. Friendship is give and take, it doesn't hurt, and it is not one sided". She explains, looking into my eyes, knowingly, because I will surely have something to say to backup everything."But I promised him mum. I promised to be there for him. That was the the same thing he said, that if I didn't want to, and that I had other engagement, I should have just told him, which I didn't, for him to make other plans for himself, and since I didn't, it hurt him even more". I was almost in tears."I know, you forgot, you are
He saw that I was not answering him and he clearly didn't know what to do, so he sat on the stairs, and kept staring at me, when I still didn't say or do anything to show him that I had seen him, he got up and came back to me. This time he was standing Infront of me, with his hands in his pocket, but his eyes was on mine, even though I wasn't directly looking at him, I could tell everything he was doing with his eyes."You are still beautiful even while angry". He says, trying to be humorous, but I still was not moved.Are you going to keep quiet forever? He asked, and I only looked at him for a second, before looking away, with my hands on my waist. He took my hands into his gently, and went on his knees as though he wants to propose to me.He might as well propose to someone he doesn't know. We were only friends and he kissed me. He should have started by asking for courtship first, before going too far to kissing.Common Kiki, I am sorry". Hearing him call me that didn't help matte
We moved early the next day, with my mother, and she didn't bother asking me about the previous night, even though when she got to the airport, she saw him with Myles and Ariana. I was feeling alone and awkward for having fought with the both of them, yet I am to travel with them, in Myles' private jet."Myles, please take care of my daughter". I heard my mother say to him, as she pulls him to the side. I wonder what she was trying to do, when she had been the one that had said that I should move on with someone else, and that someone else, happen to be standing just by the side, yet she was talking to Myles, instead of to Darius."I will try my best aunty, just that, I feel she is big enough to take care of herself now". He replied, and I just pretended as though I was not paying attention.Somehow I wish I could travel on a different day, I dont like the attitude he was giving me, and I really would have loved to show him that I could do things on my own, with or without his help."
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
