"I'm closer than you think oh how I have missed this place" Brian read aloud not minding the fact that Arianna had seen the message same time as he did."She had the gut to send that!?" Arianna said in a high tone."Lower your voice, Ari,” Brian said demonstrating. “She mustn’t suspect I’m discussing her with you, to her it’s more like a friendly visitation” he added.Arianna gave no response as she stared at him cunningly, looking elsewhere after a few seconds.Arianna had gotten so pissed at that point that she went straight back to cooking wearing a frown, she ignited the gas cooker angrily and served the already burnt plantain into a bowl."Brian gets to eat this as his punishment, it was his fault after all he shouldn’t have frightened me in the first place,” she said to Primal angrily staring at the served burnt plantain. "Don't you think you are taking this a little too far?” primal asked.“Oh please! Do not even try to patronize me, I see you’re now on his side” Arianna said
“How am I supposed to know?” Arianna replied a few seconds later.“Do you think I should open the door just like that?” Brian asked breathing heavily.“I should go upstairs, you mentioned earlier she might not be convenient with my presence,” Arianna said wearing her flip-flop.“I’d be in my mummy’s room,” she said walking out of the living room.“You’re just going to leave me to all of this?” Brian asked in a low tone.“Your words not mine” Arianna replied ascending the stairs.“I probably should be armed,” Brian said to himself, he was on his way to his room when the door was knocked aggressively nonstop.“Hold on!” He shouted as he could no longer go into his room, he walked towards the door slowly “I would start by asking how well she knows Joyce and if they had been keeping up lately” he thought.“No, that would be too direct leaving room for suspicion” he concluded.He got to the door and placed his hand gently on it, “Who is it?” He asked placing his ears on the door.“From the
“If we’re chanced,” Arianna said.Brian was quiet until they both got to the living room, “Do you think we should get a replacement for Claw before I move out?” he asked.“No” Arianna responded slowly staring at the television.“I understand you have your fears but the replacement would be a trusted one,” Brian said.“No, thanks” Arianna stated.“Care for popcorn?” She asked as she stood up.“No I’m fine” Brian responded.Arianna left for the kitchen and came out not long after with a bowl of popcorn, she sat close to the television and started to munch as she stared at the television with so much interest.Brian also was staring at the television but not with all his attention, he couldn’t stop thinking of Jenna and where in the mansion she could be, he picked up his phone from his pocket after a while and sent her a text saying “I’m still waiting for Jenna” that made it the eleventh message he would send to Jenna within the space of two hours without getting any response.“I’m sorry
“Okay,” Lyn replied.Arianna alighted from the car, crossed to the right side of the road where Brian was, and stayed on his tail, she was careful enough not to catch Brian’s attention.They had been walking for a few minutes and Arianna was starting to get tired “Is this the part where I say I warned you?” Primal said to Arianna.“And is this the part where I remind you to mind your business?” Arianna snapped inwardly at Primal.“But where exactly is he heading, we’ve been walking for minutes now,” Arianna said aloud in a low tone.Brian stood still the moment Arianna stopped walking.“What?”“He heard me talk?” Arianna asked Primal.“How am I supposed to know?” Primal asked back.Brian turned back slowly, and Arianna instantly turned back and walked as fast as she could, Brian remained on the spot for a few more minutes before he continued with his journey.“Has he turned back? Arianna asked Primal curiously.“Seems I need to remind you I don’t have supernatural powers, how do you e
Arianna stood still on the spot startled with her eyes closed as she held her breath, she was waiting for Jenna to look back and find her standing right just at her back.After expecting Jenna to say something for a few seconds, she heard nothing from her.“Maybe she didn’t see you,” Primal said.“She just mentioned my name!” “She must have heard me, and it’s all because I mentioned my name loudly to that thing, this is his fault,” Arianna said to Primal inwardly holding her fists tightly.“I didn’t expect you would mention your government name” Primal stated.“It was a reflex action, I didn’t think twice before mentioning my name,” Arianna said.“It’s fine, I guess you were under tension” “What do we do now?” Primal asked.“I have no idea, what would I tell Brian as to the reason I’m standing behind him with my eyes closed” Arianna replied.“Act surprised!”“Act as tho you are here to relieve stress and tell him didn’t think you would find him in a brothel” Primal stated.“What?!”
Arianna struggled to open her eyes as her head ached badly, she eventually did slowly and was surprised to find herself in a hospital bed.She raised her eyebrows widely and caught a glimpse of Brianna who was seated on the right side of the bed “Mum?” Arianna said slowly in an extremely low tone.“Ari!” Brianna screamed getting up from where she sat.“Thank goodness you’ve regained consciousness!”“I was so scared, I thought I had lost you,” Brianna said looking into Arianna’s eyeballs.“Aren’t you supposed to be resting?” “And what am I doing here?” Arianna asked slowly.“I would go back to resting when you get discharged from here”“And secondly I do not have a clear idea of why you’re here Brian hasn’t had the time to give me a proper explanation, but he mentioned something about Jenna having a hand in it,” Brianna said.“I think I now remember what happened” Arianna mumbled after a few seconds with her face squeezed.“Where’s Brian?” Arianna asked.“He stepped out to get medicat
“Are you sure she’s fit enough to go home by evening?” Brianna asked Doctor Henry.“Oh yes she just needs to rest and take her medications” he replied.“What about her wrist?” Brian asked.“It’s not perfectly fine, she should walk in for checkups on it every two days and you should make sure she doesn’t make use of that hand until the dressing is removed” Doctor Henry responded.“Noted,” Brian said smiling.“I’d ask the nurse to prepare the discharge papers, she can leave as soon as she signs them,” Doctor Henry said.“Mother needs to check her blood pressure Doctor Henry,” Arianna said before he could get out of her sight.“She has done that already,” Doctor Henry said and walked out of the ward.“Can I see the results, Mum?” Arianna asked.“Ari, you worry too much, we should focus on you now and me later”“I hope you’re feeling better, it’s okay if you want to spend a few more days here,” Brianna said moving closer to Arianna.“I’m fine Mum, I want to go home”“I don’t like it here
“What does he mean by his work here is done?” Arianna asked Primal while staring at Brian as he walked out of the room.There was no response from Primal, “Are you dead?” Arianna asked inwardly and still got no reply.“What is it you wanted to say to me before Brian came in?” Brianna asked as she lay on the bed.“It’s nothing Mum” she responded wearing a fake smile.“I know there is something” Brianna protested.“You were right Mum, I didn’t want to fix lunch for me because of an issue I had with him,” Arianna said in a bid to stop Brianna from questioning her further.“You’re so petty Ari,” Brianna remarked.“I think it’s best we go back to sleeping” Brianna added.“And I sincerely hope we wake up,” Arianna said.“What does that mean?” Brianna inquired after she processed the statement for a few seconds.“I said that because we’re both tired, I meant I hope we wake up soon,” Arianna responded.“Oh”“I would be sure to wake you up for dinner” Brianna mentioned.“That would only be pos
