Almighty Mike.
Fuhad, that fucking bastard, had been right; I didn't deserve her.
I didn't deserve everything I had either as it came from hurting the people I loved, but admitting all that crap to myself didn't help the hurt go away.
If anything, it only doubled up and spread through my entire being that it became very difficult to even breathe. All I needed was another chance to see her one more time and assure her that she was the only woman I had ever loved and will forever love, but I knew the chances of that were very slim now that she was out of the estate.
Angel was determined to leave and never come back; it would be very hard to track her whereabouts and she had made it clear that she never wanted to see my face again.
Almighty Mike:Even after we had now settled into metal benches at the waiting area as the family members for Angel, Trigger still kept staring at me like I'd grown two heads and the other head became permanent. I guess I'd really surprised him by such a show of weakness, but then I'd surprised myself as well.I hadn't expected to throw caution to the wind and sob in Broad daylight, and that in the presence of a subordinate, but I'd had it coming from years of suppressing the urge to;That was why I hadn't been able to stop when the dams broke. The tears flowed freely until the reservoir went dry, but I felt lighter and my head felt clearer to think about positives.Trigger had, in a calmer tone, explained how he'd come to find several people hovering around a deserted expressway
Almighty Mike.The brightly colored room was deathly silent as both occupants of the room, seated on woven basket chairs that were opposite each other, had busied themselves with a battle of death like stares. Fuhad didn't look like he was going to give up soon, and I definitely wasn't going to back out from a challenge like this without coming up as the victor;At least not a challenge with Fuhad involved."You can not do this Micheal!" He finally thundered without breaking his stare. "You will not even dare–""I can and I will, Fuhad." I blatantly cut him off. "Considering your recent evil deeds and all your illegal activities to which you've funded with the estate's resources, consider yourself lucky that I'm merciful enough to give you a way out."
Mokunfayo Badmus:"I don't deserve you, Angel. I don't deserve your heart," he sniffed slightly and gently pressed his lips to the back of my palm before slowly placing it where he'd picked it up from.I struggled around for what to say, but found out that I didn't have anything appropriate.I just wasn't expecting Mike to shed tears when I was around. Hell, I was used to believing Almighty Mike wasn't capable of tears!"I'm sorry about that though," he sheepishly apologised for his unexpected behaviour after a noisy sniff. "It's just been… I've been so psyched with a lot of emotions lately and I was so scared that I was going to lose you; that I wouldn't ever get to see you again and it was just so…"He trailed off proba
Mokunfayo Badmus:"We've done a full body checkup miss. I've sincerely never seen a faster recovery from such a serious accident before." Doctor Deji, Ayodeji precisely informed with a face beaming with joy."It has been seven months doctor," I replied with slight disinterest. "And I still look like a Tiger with all these scars on me.""Well, considering… all that has been–""Considering how my hands will remain shaky for life, how my fallopian tubes are equally damaged for life and how your shrinks are pretty certain that I've got PTSD?" I completed for him and he shifted uncomfortably in his seat."The scars will take a while to go away, considering how fast it was to heal from all the wounds, it won't take t
Mokunfayo Badmus:I was cool with Cordelia, even before she died; regardless of the fact that she once told me—on an impromptu visit with Bisi—that she was flaunting Mike on purpose to show me how much of a gem I'd foolishly thrown away, I still mourned, in my own way, when I heard of her passing two weeks ago;It was probably because she 'dashed' me her personal journal—on that same visit with Bisi—and that account gave me a glimpse of the horrors she'd lived through till the point where she discovered of her ailment, or probably because after all I'd read of her, I couldn't find it in me to blame or judge or hate her, but we were cool.However, regardless of the fact that I bore no grudges with the deceased, and I also felt bad about the painful course of her passing, I wasn't intent on attending her funer
Almighty Mike:I had been proud of myself for surviving the past months without self destructing, but more than pride, I had also been grateful to the woman that made it happen.Cordelia had refused doctors' way out because it was very expensive and even though she could very well afford it, she felt it would be a waste of resources as it wasn't even a cure they'd offered, but a way to slow down the progression of the disease while she painfully wasted away on a hospital bed.She'd changed her mind after listening to my pathetic sob story about Angel's proclamation of love and immediate dismissal afterwards. Unlike Trigger, she did not judge me, she gave me a warm hug and assured me that everything would be alright even though it didn't look like it."But I can't live withou
Almighty Mike:After shedding off the insanely costly jacket I'd worn due to the request of the deceased drama queen, I settled quietly on the same bench Angel just vacated and thought long and hard about all the woman had just yelled at my face in anger, and I realised I had been very and so willfully stupid to have ever thought about all the I'd said after Angel finally confessed about her feelings for me.Now that I thought thoroughly about it, I rested my head in both of my palms and wondered what on earth I had been thinking to have ever suggested that she come be my second in command. How could I have been so ignorant?Angel had never been afraid of me, but she'd never approved of my way of life either and I'd been clueless enough to translate her love for me as a thumbs-up to drag her into the bloody kind of life I onl
Mokunfayo Bdamus:"I'm sorry."My heart almost flew out of my mouth when I heard the unmistakable timbre of Michael's voice. My head snapped towards the direction the voice had come from to be sure my overactive imagination wasn't at it yet again, but to my dread, the man was majestically seated on my favorite couch, with his jacket draped over the arm.I was on my feet within seconds."How did you get in here?" My tone sounded deadly, even to my own ears, that was why it didn't surprise me that his excellency appeared wary as I advanced slowly to where he sat."Before you say or do anything, Angel, I implore you to hear me out." He rose to his full height as I closed in on him.
