Three months later, It has been three months since Ejay forced me to be part of his business. It's been three good months since I became his errand girl. He made me a criminal, just like him. His motive still remains unclear to me, but I know he had a good one. A lot has happened during this period as his puppet, mostly bad, but I can't overlook the few good things too. Allow me to share with you the good news first. I am doing awesomely amazing work in music. I even recorded a new song that hit one million views in just a week. Actually, it is the one trending right now in the country and is about to hit five million views. I feel like I am on the moon again, and this time, I am crossing my fingers in the hope that nobody will ruin this happiness for me.After the interview that I did, doors started opening for my career. I have been invited for another four interviews, and I have reconnected with my fellow musicians. I feel good. I feel I am doing well in that field. The love I have
Today I was performing at the senator's daughter's wedding ceremony. The wedding was beautiful and colorful, and we witnessed a very young couple tying the knot. The most amazing part is how deeply they seemed to be in love. Their love, care, admiration, and adoration were evident in their eyes. They are so young, but they have learned the mastery of true love. It makes me want to find someone to fall in love with, but I better stop dreaming. I don't think I am meant to be loved.As a gift, I decided to perform my newest song, A Love Never Dies, and the sweet couple joined me on stage, and of course, a few more people. I wish them nothing but the best happiness in their lives together.As I was rushing to the gate to get into the car, sneaking out of the celebration that felt like it was just starting rather than ending, someone shouted my name, and I made a U-turn. I did not want people to see me leaving so early and start asking questions. I hoped whoever was calling had a very good
I wake up in the morning with a spinning headache. It has been a while since I had these annoying pains, but I guess someone triggered them yesterday. That filthy jerk! I do not know what happened after. Whether he left together with his b*tch or he left alone, the only thing I remember hearing while I was lying down on my bed was the sound of a door closing with a bang, followed by footsteps descending the stairs. When I woke up later, at nine, I found ten missed calls from Ejay, but I did not respond or call back. I had not planned on falling asleep; it just happened, and in any case, I had decided to punish him for what he did. He should know that he cannot do anything he wants without caring if it hurts someone or not. What is he? A god? Hell no! I hope Mayleen had a little dignity left in her to leave. I do not know how to even look at her after yesterday.I take my painkillers and set an alarm to wake me up after thirty minutes. The pain will have subsided by then, or perhaps go
It clocks 3:30 p.m., reminding me that it is time to get ready for my entertainment job at the club. The monster left immediately after I told him that I would see him in the club today, and I intend to do exactly that. I am crossing my fingers in the hope of sealing this deal, however dangerous it seems. Whatever happens afterwards, I will face it head-on.I walk into my bathroom and take a shower, which does not last more than twenty minutes. That is the minimum amount of time I can take in a shower. Sometimes, when I am not in a hurry, I can take double the time or more. I love that feeling of just standing under the shower and letting the warm water run on me. Anyway, that is not the case now because I need to be in the club by five. I get out of the shower and dress up as quickly as I can, and I toss everything necessary in my purse and step out, making a mental note to get my water bottle from the kitchen.In the sitting area is my so-called friend, Nelly. She is doing her usual
"I know you won't believe me on this one, but this is the truth. I am not proud of what I did."What a sugar-coated, pathetic apology!"Yeah, sure! I mean, sorry is written all over you; that is why you are still here to prove you are sorry, right? Spare me the crap and get out of my way." I warn."I do not expect you to believe me, and I am fine with that. But just this once, Gia, believe me. Don't take this as coming from an enemy. Your enemies are right under your nose; be very careful." She says it in a weird tone, but I believe I have seen much worse of this deceptive face to fall for this."Yeah, I know. I am looking at one right now. You hate me so much just because of Ejay? Someone who can not even respect you?" I state. I don't even know why I'm wasting my precious time with this bitch."You are so wrong. I am no longer your enemy. About Ejay, what we have, sorry, actually, had What we had up until yesterday goes way back. It is a long story that you cannot understand. But it
I am a happy soul tonight, actually, from last night. For the first time since I woke up in that hospital bed, I am experiencing pure joy. I was able to convince Ejay yesterday to let me go to Mombasa. My deal is dangerous; I myself am scared of it, but I won't think of that for now. I do not want to ruin this happiness that I am basking in right now. I am looking forward to my stay in Mombasa and hoping that I will be able to savor some incredible aura for those seven days.Do you know what else is more exciting? I pleaded with Ejay to get his goons off my back during my whole stay in Mombasa. I don't want to walk around with ugly, fugly black monkeys guarding me as if I am the daughter of a mafia king. They might scare everyone away from me, and I am planning to have the best days of my life there before returning to this cage again. Nothing naughty, though; don't get me wrong there. So, he finally agreed, but I swear it took me to become a confounded beggar to get him to agree, and
"What the hell do you want?" I snap at Mayleen, who is standing at my bedroom door. If only I knew it was her, I wouldn't have bothered to open the door."Peace offering." She is holding two cups of coffee. Since when did we become this friendly to offer each other coffee? And isn't it too late to make peace after everything that has happened?"That might be poisoned, for all I care." I retorted to her."Come on." I leave the door open and walk back to my bed, and she invites herself in behind me and shuts the door. This woman is so confusing. What is she up to now?"Say what you want and leave. I was retiring to bed before you decided to disturb me." I say. "I have a lot to tell you, so you need things." She hands me one cup of coffee as she starts to sip the other."I want the other one." I say. She might have put some poison in mine. The amount of hatred she has for me is too much. I don't even know why I am not kicking her ass out. She hands me the coffee she was drinking, which
Things seem to be difficult when you have only one choice, but they are even more difficult and complicated when you are torn between two hard choices. In a situation like mine, you feel totally confused and lost. I do not know which way to go. Each choice has consequences, and they are both equally dangerous. Fighting for my freedom, or running away from this captivity, means endangering my life in case my paths cross with Ejay again in the future. That would be the end of me. If I choose the other choice, I will have sold my soul to the devil and accepted the possibility of being a slave forever. I am so drained from thinking and weighing the two options. I am so tired of trying to make up my mind because the fear has crept in. The fear of what awaits me after the trip I am taking tomorrow The fear of losing in the end. I am so weighed down, but I have to keep going. Maybe the first thing I need before making a decision is a change of scenery. A new environment will help me clear my

Wedding magazines and planners adorned the coffee table, their pages marked with colorful tabs and notes—a testament to their joint effort in planning the perfect wedding."Where should we begin?"
