CHAPTER SEVENTEEN.

"Kim was involved in a car accident?!" Her breath caught in her throat. "Which hospital?.. I work there, okay - I'm on my way." She ended the call.

Jennifer froze, afraid of even getting up on her feet.

"Your friend had an accident?" Bana asked, sipping on his wine.

Jennifer simply nodded, still trying to absorb the shock.

"Is it critical?" He demanded.

"I don't know.." She answered.

"I guess you have to leave, now?" He un buckled his belt, trying to adjust his stomach to accommodate more wine.

"Yes, I'll give you a call later." Jennifer reached for her purse on the table, rushing to pass through the door.

Bana shrugged, signaling the waiter to bring his bill. He invited Jennifer to come have a drink at his bar, during her break period. Regardless he owned the bar, he always paid for his drinks.

    CHAPTER EIGHTEEN.Nathan stood by the hospital gate glaring at the hospital building. He was confused, sad and angry..he didn't know if to go inside or stay outside. Did Kim really deserve his sympathy? Angrily, he shook his head and turned to leave but bumped heads with Pink. Sighing, Nathan exhaled. "Pink.." Pink eyed him. "Nathan..did you come to see Miss Kim?" Nathan coughed a reply and shook his head for a second before answering. "No.." "So what brought you here?" Pink asked."Me?" Nathan replied, glancing down at her wide - leg trousers and loose top. "I came to see someone.. charity..I came to do charity.." He paused then tilted his head. "But how is Miss Kim doing?" "How did you know she is here?" Nathan looked at her. "You just said it yourself.." "Okay..I should be going now," Pink said walking out. "Not like you care anyway.." Nathan breathed out a sigh of relief as she walked away. He had come to see Kim but now he felt disgusted being here. "Pink!" He yelled

    CHAPTER NINETEEN. Kim walked into Bryan's hospital room and looked around. Bryan's mother, Eva was there, sitting beside him. Jennifer was standing beside Kim so she assisted her to sit on the couch. "Close the door." Eva said sternly. "Apologies," Jennifer quietly closed the door. "Good afternoon ma."Bryan was asleep. He looked healthy and fine to Kim, so she exhaled and relaxed. "Hi, good afternoon ma'am," She greeted Eva with a smile. "When did you come?" Kim gave Jennifer a questioning look, trying to figure out why Jennifer was acting suspicious the whole time. Bryan looked fine, sleeping soundly. Although this wasn't her first time communicating with Eva, she felt nervous sitting in the same room with her. This was her first encounter with Eva after nineteen years. "It's good to have you in Nigeria," Kim said, stretching her neck to look at Bryan. "How is Bryan?" Her tone was soft and gentle. "Can I speak with you in private, Kim?" Eva's eyes narrowed with an intuitive

    CHAPTER TWENTY.Kim sat inside her car, her head on the steering, face covered in tears. She could hear Pink packing their bags in the car boot. Raising her head up, she looked at the rear view then took a wipe on her face. She looked a mess. Pink leaned on Kim's car, facing the sky. She was trying so hard to stop the tears that rained on her face. She was aware that Kim was also crying - she heard Kim and Jennifer talk about Bryan's current health condition. Jennifer walked to the parking lot while on a phone call, her hands were filled with handbags and Kim's MacBook. After glaring at Pink for a moment, she opened the front door of the car and relaxed into the seat, exhaling. She dropped the call and focused her gaze on Kim whom by now had stopped crying and was trying to apply make - up. "That woman is so mean and heartless!" Jennifer nearly screamed, her voice telling her furious she was. "I can't stand her! Ugh!" "Where is Pink?" Kim asked. "Outside," Jennifer's voice sof

    CHAPTER TWENTY ONE.Eva looking at Beverly, accessed her from hair to toe. She'd never met Beverly in person before now but Bryan in the past had told her quite a lot about her. "I didn't think you were from around here, are you Nigerian?" Eva asked. "African?" Beverly shook her head, her brown eyes sparkling with laughter. "No ma'am. I am black Canadian. Beverly Washington." "Eva Hills," Eva turned and poured a large cup of coffee with a touch of regular milk, then slid the cup across the counter. "Why did you and Bryan break up?" Beverly took a minute to inhale the fresh aroma before taking a sip. "Mmm. This is good." "Thank you. So tell me how you met Bryan, how the relationship went and all the circumstances that surrounded the relationship." "We go way back," Beverly said, keeping her cover story in mind. "We met at a Nicki Minaj concert years back when he was still an underground artist, we became friends and eventually started dating three years ago," "Why did you break

    CHAPTER TWENTY TWO. Nathan was hungry, damn it. He stood far too close to Pink in the courtroom, but still she stood, sighing with annoyance and regret. The judge didn't adjourn the case, it seemed Kim was not even interested in being in possession of Pink. She willingly agreed for Pink to go back to her parents or whatever the court decided. Kim only focused on debunking the false narrative about her kidnapping Pink. Kim wasn't surprised when she saw Sarah with Payson in the courtroom, everything dawned on her then that this was all Payson's little scheme, again. Kim was shaking hands with the judge by now, satisfied with his decision - Pink was to move in back with her parents. Nathan avoided Kim and her glances. He didn't understand her - she was his biological mother, yeah? So why wasn't she fighting to have custody of his child? Beyond that, she didn't even seem interested in being part of his life or anything associated with him. He could only hate her the more. First sh

    CHAPTER TWENTY THREE"Who's there?" Kianna asked, tip toeing to the window. She stared outside the window trying to see who it was that was ringing the bell. Past 9pm and she was home alone, almost asleep. "I said who's there?" Her voice was louder. "Kianna, it's Pink," Pink responded in a low voice. "Please let me in." Kianna sighed, relieved it wasn't some serial killer or thief. She opened the door and Pink stepped into the living room. "Pink..." She said, locking the living room door. "How did you find... come in."Pink hugged Kianna tightly, crying softly. "I'm sorry for barging in on you this way, this night..I had nowhere else to go.." Kianna rubbed a hand over Pink's back, patting her gently. "Pink, let it all out if you have to..I am here for you." Pink pulled out from the embrace and lowered herself to sit on the couch, sniffing back tears. "I ran away from home.." "Why?" Kianna sat beside her. "What happened?" ***Bryan winced, and h

She was standing by the mirror, naked. With a light groan, he closed the bedroom door and walked inside. "Superstar.." Her voice was sensuous, she turned to fully face him, smiling. "I've been waiting for you all night." "We need to talk." Moving closer to him, she said. "We're talking." Bryan moved back. "I'm calling off the engagement." He took off his jacket. "There are a lot of things I can't remember, a lot of things that aren't adding up. Look, I'm tired okay?" Beverly had expected rejection tonight but calling off the engagement? She didn't see it coming. She shook her head, trying to wrap her fingers around his neck. "Baby.." "I mean everything I've said tonight and still saying." Bryan pulled away, he walked to his wardrobe then pulled out a blanket, covering Beverly in it. "I am putting an end to a

Nathan sat by Pink's grave, his eyes fixed on the inscription etched into the stone."Beloved daughter, sister, and friend," it read. "Forever in our hearts."Nathan's eyes welled up with tears as he gazed at the words. He looked a mess, his hair disheveled and his clothes stained with dirt and sweat. He had been sitting by Pink's grave for hours, drinking and smoking, trying to dull the pain that had been eating away at him since her death.As he sat there, he felt a sense of peace wash over him. It was as if Pink was still with him, watching over him from beyond the grave.Just as Nathan was starting to feel a sense of calm, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.

She took a deep breath, steeling herself for what was to come.As she entered the prison, she was immediately struck by the stark contrast to the outside world. The air was thick with the smell of disinfectant and stale air.
