A week later, Daniella was back to her usual, cheerful, bubbling and annoying self again.
"If you wanted steak, you would have just ordered it." Korina huffed, watching Daniella as she extended her cutlery to her plate and took a piece of meat again.
"I swear, if you extend your hands to my plate again, you would lose those hands." She glared at her.
"Stop threatening me like you are some mobster's wife." Daniella said rolling her eyes.
"Just eat your salad and leave my steak in peace."
"Fine, fine." Daniella raised her hands in mock surrender, "Is Anne still going to make it?" She took a spoon of her salad and her lips curled in distaste, "I shouldn't have ordered this." She grumbled.
"Nope." Korina replied, "She has a lot of shoots going on."
"You know, we should go see her at her work place, sometime." Daniella suggested.
"So you could
Korina hid the frying pan behind her as she tiptoed to the door with Daniella following her."You can't use that on a ghost." Daniella wisphered, "It would pass right through him.""What does his ghost want?" Korina asked shakinly, "I didn't kill him.""Well, I guess ghosts don't care.""Hello." The voice called again banging on the door, "Is anyone there?"They were very close to the door now, "You open the door." Korina wisphered to her best friend,"And immediately you do that, amma turn and whack the fucker in the face.""Wait." Daniella said, "If he's actually a ghost, he would just pass through the door right? And how did he know where you live?""Just open the door Dan." She took a deep breath and tightened her hands around the pan handle.Daniella opened the door swiftly."Hel..." Korina didn't spare a gl
Cole had asked Korina to do the honors and pick where she would like to go on their first date and she was absolutely clueless.She had asked Daniella for help but all suggestions brought forth by her cousin were ridiculous cause they would put them in a position of getting intimate and maybe having sex. Like who the hell proposes getting cozy in the apartment for a third date and he hadn't even asked her to be his girlfriend yet.What if he asks? Korina panicked earlier, what do I do?"So Anne, what are your suggestions?" She was presently on a call with Anne now. Anne wasn't even in New York City at the moment, she had to travel to an Island which Korina had forgotten it's name, she had a shoot there."Uhhmm...how about the museum?" Anne replied, she was lost and totally dumbfounded. She barely had a love life. She rarely went on dates."You are hopeless." Korina replied
"I will have fried rice and a chicken breast." Cole said, he looked up from the menu and faced Korina, "What would you be having dear?""Still going through the menu." She said flipping the pages, her palms were sweaty now, she felt really anxious, the feeling she got had gotten worse."Please be patient." Cole told the waiter who already looked tired from standing."Oh it's okay." The man replied with a forced smile."I would have what he is having." She said closing the menu not being able to make a choice, "But with ribs not chicken.""Okay, sir, madam." He curtsied, "Be back in a few." The waiter turned away and left."Are you okay?" Cole asked noticing his date kept fidgeting, he saw she had sweaty palms and she glanced around her briefly as if expecting someone to jump out and pounce on her by moment."I am fine." Korina said, "Just stressed and n
"What are you doing here Brian?" Korina asked.She looked up at him and noticed he was with a new arm candy, a red head this time.Well, I am not surprised, She rolled her eyes."Is this your new boyfriend?" Brian asked nodding his head at Cole who sat there looking dumbfounded watching the events unfold before him."What he is to me is none of your damn concern." She spat eyeing him.He still looked attractive, more attractive even. He was biracial, really light skinned, great dark hair she once ran her hands through, she felt a painful tug at her heart."Gotten a little courageous now, haven't we?" He smirked."Brian leave me the hell alone." She said, "Please.""Why should I?" His smirk was beginning to infuriate her beyond reason, "I just want to see how my ex is doing.""Ex? What's going on here?" Coke asked,
Korina took the phone and angrily put it off completely.She was getting tired of the incessant beeping and ringing.She flung the phone across the bed not caring where it landed and settled back into her covers to sleep. That's all she had been doing for days now, sleeping, eating, she hardly took a shower, she never came out and she ignored all calls and texts, she wanted to be alone.Each time she remembered Brian's words, it stung her badly and made her eyes wet cause she believed they were true.No one would ever love me, She thought, every one had actually left and hurt her. The only permanent people in her life were her mother, who was now gone, Daniella, Aunt Dido, Mark and now Anne.She didn't know what to think of Cole, she didn't know what judgment to make about him, She wasn't sure what his motive was, was he g
"It's all your fault." Korina growled at Daniella.The police officer laughed as he closed the cell."Enjoy your stay ladies." He locked it and pocketed the key, whistling as he strolled off."What?!" Daniella scowled at Korina who stared daggers at her, "What did I do wrong?""What did you do wrong?" She asked staring at her wide eyes, "You assaulted him now we are in jail.""Hey." Daniella pointed a finger at her cousin, "I was only trying to defend your ass, he insulted you for pete's sake.""And I told you to let it go." Korina groaned in frustration, "Now look where it landed us."She walked over to the empty bench in the cell and sat on it."He deserved it." Daniella said, she went over to join her cousin."And even more." Korina agreed, "But now we are in jail and he is walking free.""I hope the sp
"There, all done." Korina said tying up the trash bag, she scanned the apartment and felt a deep inner satisfaction, it was clean and well organised now."Now it looks like where an actual person is staying." Daniella said, she was leaning against the cupboard, "And it's all thanks to me." She smirked, Korina shook her head and bent to pick the last trash bag, she had no strength to argue with her best friend.The trip up and down the elevator was quite fast today unlike the day she got stuck with a mad man, she had gone to dispose the trash and the elevator decided to be fast.She rolled her eyes at the thought of it being slow when she had to go to work."Whenever are you gonna reply Cole?" Daniella asked as soon as Korina stepped back in the apartment."I don't know Dan." She said moving to the sink to wash her hands, "I screamed at him while he was trying to help."She squirted
"So glad to have you back bitch!" Mark said pulling Korina into a hug, tightening his arms around her."Can't breathe." She said fake gasping for air making Mark laugh as he released."I missed you Mark." Korina said, she reached out a hand and ruffled his hair."Hey." He slapped her hand away frowning at her, "I don't joke with my hair yunno, it get's me all the girls." He winked."Oh shut up." She scoffed. Korina had decided to get her ass back to work before her boss finally reached the conclusion that she has had enough and was issued a sack letter.Moreover, she needed to get out, to get out of her house, meet and interact with actual real life humans not watching tv or playing games.She hated to admit it but getting out of the house was really necessary and she felt better already seeing other people apart from
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."
