The confusion was evident on their faces as the exchange of glances between mother and son, seemed to last an eternity. Each glance carrying the weight of uncertainty and fear. Myles didn't want to get his hopes raised, only to be shattered later, so he chukkled, trying to get his mother to look his way and do same, as they have lived with the belief that he was carrying the disease, and only he knows how much it had hurt him to push away the one person he loves so much, and now, he is being told that it is all a lie, but looking at his mother, to react the same way he was reacting, she seem to be taken by what doctor Raji have said, and she is about to get her hopes raised. With the way they were staring at eachother and at him, he seem like the only confused one there. He felt a knot, forming on his stomach, a mixture of apprehension, and determination, churning within him. Since his mother isn't ready to speak, and the doctor had asked a question, waiting for the answer, he ha
It's been one week Since after the drama of the other day, Kiara have been trying to stay on her own, while Josh had been acting differently with Kiara. He doesn't act so distant from her, he would even come down sometimes, and sit on the couch down, hoping she would come and sit, so they could both engage in a discussion, but whenever he was sitting there, she would busy herself doing something else. And whenever she is seated, and he descends the stairs to come and sit with her, she would immediately, leave, and pretend to be doing something else. She was just trying to avoid him, just like he wanted. He was looking forward to playing nice with her, but she didn't really notice his change was in the positive direction, because the last time had really scared her.Coming back from the grocery store, she noticed that Josh is already seated in the living room downstairs, somewhere he isn't supposed to be, from what he had told her. She wasn't even sure, if she is supposed to exchang
Hearing from her daughter, almost sounded like something she never expected to happen anytime soon, she had been so angry with Myles, and that is why his mother had come to tell her that Myles is also as worried, as they all are, about her disappearance. But receiving a call, and her daughter's voice is the first thing she heard, she had to turn back and forth, to be sure no one was listening to her, so that when she reacts, the way she is actually feeling, she wouldn't sound like an insane person. She even had to get up, and went to the window, to check if Myles mother had left the premises already, before she went back to the call, she had already picked."How are you doing Kiki? She asked in a low tone, but the Joy emanating from her voice, was evidence that she is really happy hearing from her."I am fine mother, I just wanted to call, just as I promised, please do not worry about me, I am doing okay". She says, trying not to break down over the phone. Just the feeling of loneli
MYLES POV.Not able to reach her, have cause me, more harm than I could have ever thought. Now that I have the truth, and I have been able to tell Ariana to stay away from me, finding the love of my life, have now become a problem. I even feel better, without taking any drugs. Truelly, everything works with mindset. Just the information given to me that I have no deadly disease have changed everything about me, but what is more pressing now is the fact that Kiara is not close by to enjoy the triumph with me, but who am I to blame her, she was never carried along. I should have never hidden the truth from her, but I was also just scared, trying to avoid making the mistake of getting intimate with her, when it could hurt her, but now, I have hurt her even more.I don't even know how to confront her mother, for she also seem very angry with me, it is only her father, that I will have to find a way to get in a private corner to see if he will be able to tell me where their daughter is. I
KIARA.Three weeks gone already, and I could feel my stomach increasing gradually from my pelvic area. I have heard from my parents that Myles and his mother have been looking for me, and they refuse to believe that no one knows my whereabout. My mother is still insisting that I tell her where I am, she wants to be able to visit me at will, for her sanity, which I understand, but I just cannot come out of hiding just yet, especially since I am not even sure, how I am feeling with everything happening to me at the time. The pregnancy is taking a toll on me, as I could constantly feel my stomach increasing by the day, from my pelvic area. Why are they even looking for me? Why is Myles looking for me? Have he suddenly grown tired of Ariana that he now seeks me? I was asking myself aloud. I shook my head, disappointed in myself that I had fallen helplessly inlove with him. He used to be very sweet, he deserved my love then, but now, all I feel is regret and anger, that is so strong,
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
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
