Love is life, Love was essential, feelings were inevitable, suppressing them was nearly impossible sometimes and in some cases you just had to take the risk and give love a shot again even if your heart had been trampled upon severally.
These were the thoughts flowing through Korina's mind as she got ready for her home date with Cole.
Grace's words had invaded her mind severally and filled up her senses, she decided to give love another shot.
She had to admit that she at least felt an attraction towards Cole and she also felt if she gave it a shot it would blossom into a wonderful thing.
She knew Cole liked her a lot, it was obvious, the way he looked at her, his words and actions. She was sure he was gonna ask her out but she wasn't certain.
That afternoon as she put her apartment in place, getting snacks and movies ready, she decided she was taking whatever Cole was bringing forth as far
Anne was finally back from the unknown island she went to and the girls had gone to pick her up. It wasn't hard spotting her in the crowd, her tallness giving her away."Bitches!" Anne screamed as she sighted her two best friends running her way.All three girls were soon engulfed in a hug."Get off me! Get off me!" She screamed fake choking admist Daniella and Korina's screams of excitement. They didn't heed, they only hugged her tighter."Wanna kill me?" She gasped."Yes! Yes! Yes!" Korina said, "You went on a vacation without your best girls, I mean come on.""It wasn't a vacation." Anne said defending herself, they were all disentangled now, "It was work.""Work you say?" Daniella asked with raised brows, "You go to a beautiful island, do photoshoots, get tanned, party, spend time on the beach and MEET HOT MEN!" Daniella emphasized the last part and Ko
Ever since Ms susie, Korina's boss had decided that they serve more varieties of pastries at the restaurant, Korina had the cause to get out of bed early and get to work as she was one of the baker's, well actually, the only baker.She literally shouldered the whole thing, her boss made her do it as she was very good at baking.The alarm went off at 5:30 AM. She grumbled while getting out of bed, she knelt down beside it and said a short prayer before heading to the bathroom to clean up.After brushing her teeth, she went to the kitchen and proceeded to making breakfast, she had egg, toast and tea as she didn't feel like taking Coffee today. She immediately went to take her bath after her short breakfast. Later on she got dressed and headed for work."Taxi." She screamed hailing one down with the movements of her arms. She got in and told the middle aged man her destination and he sped off with out a singl
A wide smile appeared on Korina's face as she watched Cole enter the restaurant with a bouquet of flowers and a small wrapped box.She thought he'd forget cause of work and his hectic schedule, her heart warmed at the fact that he didn't.Today was their four month anniversary, it was exactly four months since Korina decided to take the bold step and give a shot at love again.Exactly four months that she had said yes to him and had been receiving disturbing and threatening texts from her stalker.Threats not directed to her of course but to her boyfriend, Cole.The text contained words of her stalker whining about Cole not being good for her and how he was the only man for her, how she was supposed to be with him.She had reached the conclusion that the man belonged in an asylum cause she didn't understand how he could say he was good for her and they were meant for each
"Nice to see that this Cole boy is treating you well." Aunt Dido said as she put the shovel into the dirt, "Daniella could you please help me get the tomatoes, I wanna transplant them.""Okay mum." Daniella said walking away."He makes me really happy." Korina said agreeing with her aunt, "I was skeptical at first but now I see he really has good intentions."Aunt Dido smiled at her niece, "Make the dirt in the pots leveled." She told Korina who was filling the flower pots with soil. They were in Aunt Dido's garden. The lady had decided to start a little green house converting a section of her backyard for the garden. She was gonna plant flowers, vegetables, fruits and anything she could lay her hands on and she got the girls to help her."So when will I be meeting this boy friend of yours?""I don't wanna freak him out
The gym room smelt of sweat, the air in it was polluted with different scents of perfumes, body odour and stench. Mirrors ardoning the walls reflecting images of people working out, some carrying out the simple workouts while others picked up the heavy ones.Korina, Anne and Daniella were at the end of the room, each on a thread mill, they worked out while chattering in the process."Something was really off about him when I visited him the last time." Korina told the girls, her hair done in a pony tail bouncing up and down as she ran the thread mill. She was dressed in a black sports bra, jogging pants and a pair of running shoes, beads of swear gathered around her forehead and glistened on her chest."I agree." Anne said trying to catch her breath, she was dressed similarly to Korina but her outfit was yellow, "With all what you just related to us, I hope it isn't what I am thinking." She slowed down for a moment still trying to c
Korina looked at the batches of pastries she had to make that morning and groaned. She was just two seconds away from drafting a resignation letter or better still walking out of her work place and never returning.Five hundred batches, freaking five hundred batches, that's what she had to make, seriously, She huffed as her eyes ran over the list again."Having trouble there?" She looked up and saw mark entering the kitchen, his sleeves rolled up and there was a huge brown stain on his white shirt, she didn't remember seeing it there earlier."What happened to you?" Korina asked referring to the stain."I was being clumsy as usual." He smiled walking towards her spot."I heard your groans from out there, what's up?""Jeez." She slapped a hand over her mouth, "Was I that loud?""Yes, you were." He nodded, "Now what the heck is going on?"
"Calm down Darius." Korina heard a voice bark, it sounded like a black man's voice but definitely not a black American accent she couldn't quite guess it, "Fucking calm down." The man barked again."Why should I calm down?" The other man screamed back, she guessed he was the Darius. Korina was blindfolded, she couldn't see anything, she could only feel and the voices sounded so far off, her hands were bound behind her and she knew what she was on by feeling around with her fingers. She was on a bed, a very soft one."The hell should I calm down for? Uhn? You see what this dimwits fucking did." Korina listened and for the first time she felt very attracted to a voice.She thought it was the harshest yet sexiest and calmest voice she'd ever heard, damn!You have a boyfriend slut, her subconscious
*warning mild sexual content ahead* Theweeks passed and Korina never got anything or heard anything from her stalker, well he wasn't technically her's anymore.She often wondered what made him stop, she usually thought it was cause he finally saw her up close and found her displeasing like all men who took interest in her finally did.She chided herself for her thoughts, she was supposed to be happy that he was gone and not wonder why or what his reasons for going were.Sometimes Korina found herself thinking back to her kidnap. She allowed herself the guilty pleasures of reminiscing about his voice in her head as she found it really desirable, on some occasions she slept off thinking about his voice and cursing herself afterwards that she should exert control for she had a boyfriend.
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."
