"You must be one lucky girl." Korina heard a voice say as soon as she opened her eyes.
Her vision was blurred, she could hardly see, she couldn't even make out the image of the person hovering above her or the image of her surroundings.
Her head ached, it felt as if it kept splitting into two, she felt slight pains all over her body.
She tried recalling the happenings, she tried remembering what led to what but her efforts proved futile and thinking made her head ache more.
"Korina." She heard the voice which she now found familiar call out again, "Can you hear me?" She almost screamed as she felt the pain in her head grow.
"Yes." She croaked, She closed her eyes and opened them again, She could see a little bit this time, her vision was gradually clearing up, She could make things out now, She saw she was on a hospital bed and she could see the face above her.
It was mr hottie,
WARNING ⚠️: violent and bloody scene, violent themes, I repeat violent and bloody themes!please be warned."You should speak to Dan." Aunt Dido said, she shifted the blanket covering Korina.Korina frowned at her words and sighed."She feels bad and she's terribly sorry dear." She handed Korina a glass of water to take her tablets, She took it from aunt Dido took a gulp and put the tablets she held in her hand into her mouth, swallowing it all."Aunt." Korina said after recovering from the bitter taste of the tablets, "If she had shown that retard my picture at first we wouldn't be facing this, the date would have never been fixed, this disaster wouldn't have occurred and I could have been in my bed at home not a hospital bed.""I was angry at first too dear." Aunt Dido replied, "But Daniella was trying to look out for you, she thought she coul
"I nearly died.""I am sorry, truly deeply sorry.""You almost got me killed.""I am really sorry Korina.""I didn't want to go on that date." Korina said, "you made me do it." She pointed an accusing finger at Daniella."How was I suppose to know he was a psychopath?" Daniella asked and Korina went silent.She and Korina hadn't spoken to each in the last th
"When it rains, it pours" Korina remembered the old adage as she looked through the windows.The proverbial term was literally playing out in front of her. She watched the rain drops come down aggressively, two huge rain drops fell on the window and her eyes followed their movement as they rolled downwards.She sighed, I have a feeling that today is gonna be hella terrible.She turned to look at the clock, it was 9:00AM and she was late."I just have to go in the rain." She mumbled, she buttoned up her coat, grabbed an umbrella and exited the apartment. The elevator ride all the way down seemed longer than usual to Korina today, it was beginning to irritate her, as soon as it stopped, she got out of the elevator and raced towards the garage.Tha
"My life is simple." Korina said as she got into the car, "I wake up and suffer.""You look terrible and you left some conditioner on your hair." Daniella said moving her hand to touch the whitish cream on Korina's hair."Don't." She said slapping her hand away, "Don't touch it, it's pigeon poop.""Oh, jeez." Daniella laughed."What's funny? Why are you laughing?""Nothing." Daniella said shaking her head."Come on, tell me." Korina faced her angrily, " Am I cracking jokes now?""Nope." Daniella said, "Today is not your day.""Tell me about it." She replied with a sigh, She looked out the car window, "Oh look, just as you got here, the rain stopped, How wonderful!" She remarked, "The skies are all cleared up and the sun shining brightly." Maybe you are jinxed." Daniella winked."Dan, I called you to come
Korina considered turning her shopping cart over and climbing it when she realised that her efforts to reach the top shelves proved futile.I just want to get my cereal in peace not to get a proof that I am short, She frowned.She decided to climb the shelves to get her cereals, putting her feet on the lower rack, she raised her hands and held a higher rack for support."No need to do that.", She heard a voice say, " I got you.", Korina turned to look, it was a girl who she presumed was definitely Asian.The girl brought down a box of cereal, "How many do you need?" She asked smiling."Just 4." Korina replied and came down from the shelves, "Waoh, you are tall." Korina exclaimed, "Like really tall.""Here you go." The girl handed over the boxes to Korina."Just how tall are you?" Korina asked as she put the cereal boxes in the cart.
Korina was really busy, her hands were tied. It was finally Saturday night.She arranged her always scattered apartment and ran around trying to put things in place. She got movies, fun games and some cool music to make the night with the girls more exciting and lively.Korina was really excited that she was having a new friend over and didn't want anything to go wrong.She hardly ever had friends.She was just getting the drinks off the counter when she heard the door bell being rung."Would be there in a minute." She yelled, dropped the drinks and raced to the door.She nearly opened the door immediately she got to it but then stopped as the thought of her stalker crossed her mind.What if he's the one? Standing there waiting to kill me, Her thoughts ran wild.She tiptoed and looked through the peephole instead and
"My boss is being extra nice today." Korina wisphered into the receiver, she was in the rest room having a conference call with Anne and Daniella, "Wonder if she hit her head." Someone knocked and she turned on the sink tap to indicate that she was busy inside."Is it your break yet?" Anne asked."Maybe she has a new boyfriend who is really treating her well." Daniella said laughing."Yes it's my break Anne." Korina answered, "Maybe you are right Dan, any time she breaks up with someone it's a war zone but when she is in a new relationship she's all nice and sweet till when the man unleashes his inner devil.""Did you even bother asking her why she hired you?" Daniella asked, "She seemed pretty mad that day.""Pretty mad?" Korina scoffed, "She's always mad.""I don't think asking her is necessary." Anne said, "just play along and enjoy it.""That would be
"I ain't getting into the car of a stranger, nope!"Cole frowned at Korina's stubbornness, couldn't she see that she could freeze to death. He put off the ignition switch and folded his arms across his chest."So how exactly are you planning on getting home?" He asked her."Anyway that dosen't involve you." Korina huffed."Why are you so stubborn?" He asked."Why are you so persistent?" She retorted."What exactly did I do wrong Korina?""What exactly are you doing here Cole?""Korina look." He breathed palming his face in frustration, "It's raining heavily, the streets are deserted, this area is crime prone, anything could happen, please hop in let me drop you off.""I am not getting into the car of a stranger.""What the heck? We have met four times Korina, freaking four times.""Still a stranger t
Love is a beautiful thing but it becomes more beautiful when two people in love agree to exchange vows and spend the rest of their lives together.Walking down the aisle to the altar was a dream to Korina, She couldn't contain her excitement as she saw Jace standing there waiting for her, Andre smiled all the way walking her to Jace, he was happy that his mama and papa were finally going to be together.It wasn't a small rushed wedding this time, it was well planned event, it was classy and unique with important people of all walks of life present. Jace couldn't control his Joy either, he was finally having the woman he loved to himself, he had kissed her when she reached him and also after the vows. Ade couldn't contain his Joy of Jace finally finding happiness and getting the woman he was smitten by, for the first time in long
"God Daniella, I miss him so much." Korina groaned.It's been two months now, she hadn't let Jace come in contact with her but she knew he was still in Spain hanging around waiting for her to give him an answer and she wondered why he was so stubborn and she knew he was going to wait no matter how long it took."Then tell him you have forgiven him already." Daniella rolled her eyes, "And quit your whining.""I don't know." She said, "I am scared that he might still be hiding something from me, that something might go wrong.""Does Andre know Jace is his Dad yet?" Her cousin asked, "Did you tell him?""Nope." Korina shook her head."Then who the fuck did you tell the kid the guy is?" Daniella asked raising her voice."Well...i always try to avoid the questions." She sighed, "And I restricted him from seeing Andre although I know he still goes to see him
Their exhausted and sweaty bodies were still wrapped together, none of them said a word trying not to ruin the blissful moment. How they went from hugging to kissing and he ending up pounding into her in the bedroom wasn't what they both planned or expected to happen.The sex was still as great as Korina remembered, even better.Korina remembered Jace's hands, tongue and mouth were still very skillful."Damn, that was great." She let out in a raspy breath, "God!""I missed you." He said kissing the top of her forehead and then proceeding to kiss her. She climbed on top of him and began grinding against his erection leading to yet another vigorous love making session. Korina woke up naked the next morning to an empty bed side and rumpled sheets, "Holy fuck, no!" She screeched on realising what happened the previous nights.
Andre ran out of the school happily, excited to go home, he went to a corner and sat on a bench quietly waiting patiently for Korina to come pick him up."Hello." He looked up at the sound of the voice, a tall blonde bearded man was before him."How are you?" The man asked."Fine sir." Andre answered shifting uncomfortably, his mum had told him to beware of strangers and not talk to them.Jace gazed down at his son and studied his features, he saw how he cowered from him and felt his heart break, he didn't know how to react to that.A lot of emotions stirred up in him, he wanted to pick up the boy and hug him close but at the same time didn't want to do that as it would scare him more."What's your name dear?" He asked."Andre." Andre looked up at him, "What's yours?" He asked frowning.Jace almost laughed, his son tried to look fierce, "I wou
4 years later.Spain, Madrid."Andre!" She screamed, "Come put on your shirt if you do not wanna get some ass whooping.""No mum." The little boy giggled and ran down the stairs making Korina chase him."We are gonna be late." She growled, "I don't have time to play all day Andre.""But I wanna play." The boy pouted and ran to hide beneath the tables.Korina stood with hands at akimbo trying to find her son, "Andre! Andre!" Come out where ever you are." She smirked, "Mummy is gonna find you."She tiptoed to the dining area and bent over the dining table, she stretched her hands to drag out a giggling Andre."Yayy!" He hugged her, "Let's do that again." He pleaded."Nope." Korina patted his head, "You have to go to school baby."She dropped him and wore his shirt for him, "And I have
Korina was angry and furious on day one after breaking up with Jace, she had destroyed literally everything on her path, even when she received a text from Claire stating Jace was unconscious in the hospital, her anger didn't lessen."He deserves it!" She yelled, "That bastard, he deserves to die."Even Aunt Dido had tried to calm her down despite her own grieving self, Korina's anger never lessened it only worsened and eventually she was left alone. On the second day, she finally cried, she cried her heart out mourning for her mother, knowing that her mother died at the hand of the man she loved, the man she loved killed her.All the memories came down on her and she cried at each one. She didn't move from her spot on the bed that day, despite all the knocks at her door, she didn't move.She just drowned in her tears missing her mother asking why she left.&n
*warning, violent scene*"What's taking her so long?" Jace whined impatiently, "The priest is getting impatient." He whispered to Ade who was by his side."You know how females are with delaying." His best friend shrugged, "She would be walking through that door soon."Jace was about to turn to the priest when a loud scream was heard. It was obviously from Korina's room, the two men looked at each other before breaking into a run with the rest of the family following them."You are full of lies Russo." Korina screamed, "How dare you say so? How dare you even show your face here?""I have proof sweetheart." He said throwing an envelope towards her, "and I have a video." He smirked feeling proud that his dad had recorded Jace doing sick stuff."She died years ago." She said, "What ever you say now is false.""Look in the envelope bitch!" H
Korina felt like a princess looking in the mirror, yes she was a princess who had finally found prince charming or so she thought.Her white transparent veil was pulled back on her full well styled afro, her make up was nude as usual extremely flawless, a diamond necklace Jace had got her rested on her neck. Her white gown fitted to her body with a train past the royal long length, it was twelve feet long. Her shoes were actual glass slippers with diamond encrusted stones. Her bouquet of flowers which she didn't hold yet was of yellow roses, her favorite and it grew to be she and Jace's favorite."Are you ready?" Aunt Dido asked entering the room."Yes ma." Korina replied."Awwn... Look at my baby." Her eyes welled with tears seeing how Korina looked dazzling. She walked over to her and pulled her into a hug, "You look marvelous.""Thank you Aunt." Korina wa
Korina took a deep breath before turning and looking into the mirror, she stared wide eyed, is that me? Her eyes welled with tears. "Oh my God." Daniella gushed staring at her cousin as she rushed to her side "Don't make me cry." Anne sniffed, "My best girl looks magnificent." The dress was of white colored lacy material. It was a mermaid gown with medium short straps. It clung to her body fitting her like a glove. Korina began to cry, she never imagined she'd try on one of these on but here she was wearing a wedding gown and getting married to the man she loved in two days. "Don't cry." Anne hugged her, "It looks wonderful on you, I have no words." "You look breath taking." Daniella said, "Simply breath taking." "I can't believe this guys." She sniffed, "I am getting married."
