"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
Korina definitely knew this was coming, she knew he was gonna ask anyway, but it still came as a shock to her. She stared at him unable to give a reply."Sorry, I asked." Cole said feeling really bad and nervous as he saw her staring without a reply, "Just pretend as it never came up, as if I never asked anything.""Why?" Korina asked, finally speaking."Why what?""Why do you want me to go on a date with you?" She asked, "Why do you want to go on a date with me?""Uhhhm." He said scratching his hair, "Ever since we met, even though it has only been a couple of times, I took a fancy towards you and I have been meaning to ask you out but didn't know how to put it. I was so close to asking for your contact at the hospital but I couldn't. Hence I asked Daniella the last time we met and I talked to her and she gave me important details of you.""Typical Daniella." Korin
"Since Anne is a model and she's very familiar with the make up and fashion industry, she would handle your make up and clothes." Daniella rubbed her chin thoughtfully, making her suggestion to Anne and Korina."That's a good idea." Anne agreed, Korina wasn't really paying attention, she was busy towel drying her hair."So, what you gonna do?" Anne asked Daniella."Oh me?" She asked pointing to herself, "I am just gonna sit over there and video call my man." what the..." Anne didn't even finish as she saw that Daniella had skipped over to the chair and pulled out her phone."Where is Daniella?" Korina asked gaining Anne's attention."Oh, she's over there, video calling her man." Anne answered as she laid down the make up stuff on the dressing table, "Please sit, we don't have much time on our hands." Korina took the seat closing her eyes, she faced the mirror excited by w
Korina sighed immediately Cole stopped the car. They were finally making a stop after driving for minutes unending.All the way she kept chanting prayers and considered calling for help cause she didn't fully trust him and the ride was taking too long for her liking."Here we are." Cole announced, she looked around the surroundings. They were parked in front of a building that looked like a casino, Korina was dead surethat it was a Casino considering the structure and bright neon lights."You brought me to a casino?" Korina asked him, her face dropping in shock, "You seriously brought me to a Casino on our first date.""No! God no." Cole laughed, "Every one thinks it's a casino at first, wait till we get inside." He said unbuckling his seat belt and she undid hers too. He got down from the car, rushed to her side to open the door."I can see you are a gentl
"Details!" Anne and Daniella Screamed.The girls were at Daniella's apartment laying on the big bed, hanging out."How did it go?" Anne asked immediately."Does he have a big d..." Daniella asked but couldn't finished as the other girls hushed her."Daniella!." Both of them frowned at her."What?" She shrugged, "It's a necessary question, can't be having a toothpick sticking in your...""Oh, Shut it." Anne threw a pillow at her, "Give us the details Korina.""So...ahemm..." Korina cleared her throat."Well..." Her friends probed getting impatient."We set out and after this very long drive we stopped at a restaurant which I thought was a casino at first." She said."You that dumb?" Daniella rolled her eyes and Anne hit her."No idiot." Korina said scowling at her cousin, "The outward appea
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."
