“You never told me where you were going, you just vanished out of thin air, never replied to my texts or responded to my calls, what happened?” I asked Alyssa the next day we met it was after the morning class and we were heading to the cafeteria, I didn’t take breakfast because I woke up late the following day, my aunt was long gone and I had a class in thirty minutes time so I just washed my face and drove all the way to school, Alyssa didn’t pass by that day so I was all by myself to school, I was ten minutes late but I was lucky because the lecturer was not yet in neither was Alyssa and Caitlyn, they were nowhere to be seen so I was forced to sit with Maeve who was all smiles when she saw me, I don’t know why I started feeling she was somehow trying to get at me, like she wanted to be close o me to piss off her friend or maybe my instincts were lying to me, she was not just a straight forward person, she was hiding som

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN“So this is it huh?” I asked as she led me into the house, I don’t know how I was convinced to go to her house, it was the first house I was visiting ever since I moved to England of course after my aunt’s and to say the truth, Maeve was living a pretty good life, as she led me into the house while showing me around my eyes could not stop to admire the beauty of the house just from the moment I entered through the main door.“Hmm…kid of but I have something I want to show you, just like I promised you, it is a cool place you can just be there an think about your life, no pressure no nothing, you will love the place I swear but meanwhile just be patient with me please, here follow me” she ushered me I and I was awed by the beauty of the house from the inside, everything in there was screaming moneyAs we entered through the front door, w passed through a grand hallway. The hallw

CHAPTER NINENTEEN“What the hell Maeve! I thought you said you had a lot of work to do and you didn’t want to hang out with me since you had a lot of work to do, so this is the work you were talking about? Hanging out with him and not only that but you were all over him kissing him all over, even after what I told you? That is not fair at all, I trusted you, but this, I can’t forgive you” Alyssa ranted and I wondered why she was and at Maeve, she had a boyfriend and it is not like she wanted me anyway so I was free to be with whom I wanted, it wasn’t her right to choose people I could be and could not be with, girls can be so dramatic sometimes , so I was like a pawn in their game, you know the moment Alyssa walked on us, I froze at the moment, it was not like I was afraid of her or something, it was just that I was not expecting to see her at Maeve’s place, it was unexpected“What is wrong if I hang out with Dylan,

CHAPTER TWENTY“What do you think your aunt will say if she sees me?” She asked as we drove to the road that connected to my house and I just chuckled, I didn’t get why she was so tensed o with meeting y family yet she was the one that suggested and actually came up with the idea of meeting them, I wasn’t sure about it but she insisted and I couldn’t just say no to her, something I had come to realize is that I could never say no to her, she always got a way to get her way around when I was around her“Nothing much, why are you worried about what she would say, it is not like she is going to judge you whatsoever, we are not dating plus she is not that type of a judgmental person, she is a sweet being you can never be bored around her” I said as I remembered the way my aunt will always crack jokes with us, I was always free around her and would talk about absolutely anything“Oh, really? She seems to be co

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE“So, tell me more about yourself, I haven’t seen you around here” Aunty Sue asked Maeve as she helped her lay the table, she was suddenly so interested in knowing Maeve unlike when Alyssa was around to see Dylan, her interest was suddenly in Maeve”Hmm…there is nothing important about myself, it is boring actually, apart from staying alone all by myself with my dad out there at Cambridge” she said and Dylan’s aunt turned to look at her, in a s much as she admired her beauty and her personality, she wasn’t expecting her to say that, she knew that she was probably a spoilt rich kid who was being taken care by house helps, but to her utter surprise the girl was different from what she had expected, she was calm, composed and was social too, the few minutes she was around her, she already knew the type of person she was and she thought she would recommend her nephew to sate her, that wa

CHAPTER TWENTY TWOThings happened so fast that the two could not control the hunger and thirst they had for each other , things escalated and the two didn’t know what they could do so they could turn back and make things right but what had happened had already happened, there was no going back and definitely not changing a thing“I should get going, my aunt will be very mad at me, I didn’t mean to sleep over at your place, things just escalated and I don’t know how things went down this line, can we just forget that this happened for a moment and don’t tell anyone please” Dylan said when he realized what they had just done, he like Alyssa and not Maeve, or maybe he liked them both but whatever he felt for Alyssa was strong, he didn’t want to mess it up even before it started“Wait what? Are you afraid of what people will say, or are you just not into me and you are into my friend, Alyssa or maybe you are ash

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE“I can’t believe your ant told you that, I mean, how free are you with her that you talk about anything? I would like to have such a relationship with my dad but you see he is always busy with his work that he forgets he has a daughter somewhere around here” Maeve said that night as they prepared themselves to sleep, she had just gotten out of the shower and Dylan was done with talking to his aunt, they were just talking about what his aunt had just told him“I don’t think he feels that way for you, your dad loves you it is just his works needs sacrifices, but he provides everything for you does he?” Dylan asked and she nodded absently“Of course he does, I can’t complain but that is not all I want from him, he is my father for heaven sake and the only thing he can do is be there for me especially after what happened to mom, was only a kid when mom died and the least he could do was

CHAPTER TWENTY FOURThe truth about his father really tore him apart, he didn’t know whether he was supposed to be happy that he had finally found his dad, or sad that his hopes were just being raised but he was not still alive or maybe he was, Dylan was just confused and didn’t know what to do or say, he remained stupefied looking at the picture and comparing it with the copy he had on his phone, it was the same man that he believed was his father, it was the same man that his mom told him to look for after she was gone, Maeve’s father was the only one that could know about his whereabouts since the two worked together and from what Maeve had told him that night, his father was a great friend to her dad and their family as a whole, he also learnt that his father was a lawyer cum doctor and that they one day worked with Mrs. Baker on a certain case before she died, and his wild thoughts already had guesses on what could have happened to him, or maybe the two g

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE“So, you already talked to your aunt about what we found out yesterday or you still holding back?” Maeve asked Dylan that night as they both enjoyed the party, he had just gotten there and the party was lively, he wasn’t expecting a lot of people to turn up but Maeve was among the most beautiful girls in the school so he had no doubts why a lot of people showed up, it was a pool party, they were seated on one of the seats just across the swimming pull, Maeve was sipping on her wine while Dylan was taking a tusker cider, he did not want to get much drunk that night since Alicia’s birthday party was the following day and he did not want to have hangovers on her sister’s special day“Yeah, I talked to her about it earlier today, it is not like I had a choice anyway did I?’ he asked her and she chuckled in response“Of course not and why would you say that? she is your aunt and of course

CHAPTER FIFTY“I have just passed by Alyssa on my way here and it was like she was coming right from this direction, is everything okay? Because the moment she saw me, she sneered at me and got into Caitlyn’s car and the banged the door” Maeve asked Dylan immediately she got into his car, he looked confused, frustrated and uncomfortable“It is nothing, you know how she likes to create a mountain from an anthill, she just hates you since that day you know, are you ready? Maybe we should just drive home, I don’t think I want to go for ice crem today” he said and Maeve knew that he was probably trying to hide something from her but she was not going just to let it slide just like that, she knew that Alyssa was capable of anything and that she would do anything just to frustrate her, she knew that Alyssa was in love with Dylan buts he was in love too and she was not going to just let her get what she wanted and let her step on he

CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT“Can you imagine Maeve lashed at me yesterday when I went to check on Dylan’s sister? I did not know that she was there at his place and worst thing is that Dylan called her babe in front of him?” Alyssa complained to Caitlyn who was busy munching on her apple“I don’t understand why you keep complaining about what Maeve is doing, she is happy with him and you should be happy with Mike, don’t know why you jealous all of a sudden, you remember the you also shouted at him and made him look like a fool, he then met Maeve who was not shouting at him and the two are actually compatible, I can see how they look at each other, you know what friend? It is high time you let go of the past and focused on yourself and your boring boyfriend Mike, stop being jealous” Caitlyn said and Alyssa looked at her for a few seconds before she scoffed“Really and I thought that you were my friend, I can&rsq

CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN“So have you got anything that might help us into finding about what happened to Dylan’s father?” Sue asked Baker as the two were seated at the cafeteria; Dylan excused himself while he let the two to talk“Actually I might be having something although I am not sure if it is useful and by the way your sister, Kayla I have met her three times and she was always speaking high of you, you two must have been close back then”“Yes we were, it is unfortunate that she left so early and left her kids behind, but we were close, she took care of me, took me to school and you know all that, she was a lovely woman, loved by many, Walker was lucky to have her but her kids were not even lucky to see him, I mean their biological father”“Yeah I know Walker was always talking about moving in with her and his kids but I have reasons to believe that he might be alive, you see my wife and Walker were working on the

CHAPTER FORTY SIX“You see I wanted to talk to you about this news about your father, my private investigator thinks that he is alive somewhere since the results are out, the ashes from your dad’s plane does not match his DNA and my doubts are that maybe he decided to death then vanish or maybe someone faked his death and maybe killed them, I really don’t understand anything and the fact that after going through all the trouble of exhuming the body only to find that the remains does not even belong to my wife, these two are somewhere else and what I don’t understand is why not say anything, it has been almost five years since all this and they have never made any contact and I don’t think that they are being held hostage after all these years, so the probability of them being alive is half, just like the probability that they might have been killed and their bodies dumped somewhere else, have you found anything in that diary that can help us

CHAPTER FORTY FIVE“I can see she is doing well, how are you Alicia? My name is Baker and I am Maeve’s father about you, how are you feeling?” Mr. Baker asked Alicia who was smiling“I’m good Mr. Baker thank you for stopping by” she said and Baker smiled, everything about her reminded him of his old friend Peterson whom his private investigator thought to be alive, according to him, Peterson might have been alive or maybe he did not die in that plane crash and that is Baker wanted to talk to Dylan and his aunt about the issue , he figured out ha maybe it was time they brought their heads together and thought about the matter or the fact that their relatives might be alive somewhere and seeing Alicia that day reminded him of Maeve while she was still young and one day when they were having dinner, Dylan father was around that day and it was a family and friends dinner night that they always did at least twice every month, Pete

Or you did not come with her” she asked Dylan who was already lost in his own world, he was already lost in his own world thinking of the previous day’s occurrences, he was torn in between Maeve and Alyssa, he felt like he was already in love with Maeve but there was always that tingling he felt whenever Alyssa was around, he did not even hear
