Cole finally picked Korina's call and when he did, she ended the Call as all her anger came surging back when she heard his voice again.
She slammed the phone on the table and went about cleaning her apartment. It was Sunday which meant no work, no chatterbox and definitely no dragon lady.
She finished cleaning her apartment quickly and got into bed, intending to take a little nap so she won't feel tired when she was out later.
Korina was woken up minutes later by the continuous knocks on her door. At first she ignored the knocks expecting the visitor to get lost but the annoying knocks grew. She groaned pushing the covers away and got out of bed.
She was tying her robe around her as she walked to the door.
"Hey babe." Korina just stared at him blankly not batting an eyelid.
"Is my princess still angry with me?" Cole asked. She made mockery o
"What the hell do you mean you are in England?!" "Korina, you are screaming?" Cole said."Well, I don't care Cole." She growled, "You cancelled on me last minute and fly out immediately like I mean nothing to you. You didn't even give me a notice nor did you tell me anything.""It was an emergency.""What emergency was it?" She queried."I...look Korina, it was important." He replied."That's not the fucking answer to my question." She held the phone to her ear with her shoulder and bent to pick her purse, "What emergency was it?""My mum had a heart attack.""Uhmm...I am..." She stopped before she could say the sorry on realising something, "You just said your mum had a heart attack.""Yes.""Really?" She scoffed, "You constantly brag about how she is very healthy and you are surprised she ain't
"It's just a mild shock." The doctor told Aunt Dido, "The girls would be alright." Korina, Daniella and Anne were in their respective hospital beds staring at the television in the room as the familiar news they already knew about played out before their eyes.Cole Smith's wedding to the Duchess of Sussex was being forecasted live on the television.As they gazed at the screen, Korina was too shocked to cry, Daniella and Anne were too shocked to curse or scream, as a matter of fact their initial shocked response when they first got the news had landed them in the hospital. A blonde reporter related the news. She was in front of the majestic chapel the white wedding had been conducted, as she spoke her thick British accent was evident on every word.'Cole smith, the noble man who had managed to capture the heart of
*warning* trigger self harm If unfair was the word used to describe Korina's life, it'd be an understatement for she knew life was more than unfair to her.As she laid in the bath tub with cuts deep enough to hurt but not enough to kill, she looked at the razor in her hand and at the water turning slightly red crimson, tears flowing down her cheeks.She hadn't done this in a long time but she knew she had to, it gave her a sense of relief, relief from the pain she felt.She looked down at her arms and figured that she would have to put up with wearing long sleeves for a very long time and most importantly she knew she had to see her mother. Korina had never been so pained in her entire life as she was right now. She laid sprawled on the floor besides her mother's grave. She wailed loudly not caring
"What did you do with your hair?" Anne shrieked immediately she set eyes on Korina and Daniella turned to look at her cousin on hearing Anne's voice."What in heaven's name have you done with your hair girl?" Korina rolled her eyes at her best friends as she dragged her luggage along with her."Could you come help me and not hound me with questions?" She told them, "Quit staring at me and no more questions please, I need some rest with absolutely no noise or talks." The girls helped her pick up her luggage without questioning her anymore, they didn't want to piss her off or worsen her mood."How was your flight?" Anne asked as they put the luggage in the booth of her audi."It was fine." Korina muttered, she removed her sun glasses and got in the back seat of the car."Are you hung
She stared at the man in suit, her hands angrily gripping the tray she was holding, at this point she wanted to badly to smack his head with it. She wondered what sound would resonate if she actually hit the tray on his bald head."Do you know who I am?" The man growled, "Have you people here have no respect for people of the higher class?"Korina rolled her eyes at him, really?"Mr Russo." Ms. Susan said calmly, "I apologize, I am so sorry on her behalf." She pleaded with the man.Ass licker, Korina scoffed at them both, both of you are alike."I want that bitch to apologise to me this instance." The man demanded, "I want an apology."Me? A bitch? Korina glared at him and was ready to jump on him and knock some sense into his bald head."Apologise Korina." She got no response."I said apologise now." Th
"You may kiss the bride."As the couple's lips joined, sparkles fell and people hooted, the bridal train sprayed flowers from the sprays they held and every other person clapped.Weddings were usually a beautiful sight, this wedding was also, the decorations, the couples and the guests, everything was perfect and went accordingly.As Korina looked on at the newly weds, she couldn't help but feel a prick of envy in her heart, of course It wasn't a bad thing, she had tried to convince herself that being envious was human nature, it meant you saw something good, liked it and wished you had it, It was only when it turned to jealousy that it was bad.She couldn't help but join in the clapping but as she looked at the couple, she felt her envy turn to jealousy and the jealousy turned into hurt on realising that she might never get involved the the blessed union called marriage or have a stable relationship. Tear
"Damn it!" Ade groaned, he just had to see his best friend make a complete fool out of himself and worse of all Jace still stood there looking like a lost sheep his hand still out and the girls were laughing at him, at them. 'Men be wilding' Korina had to agree with this saying as she laughed, who in the hell walks up to a woman and says 'I wanna marry you please say yes.'"I won't marry you". She scoffed and turned to drag Anne and Daniella away as she left so they wouldn't make issues worse for her."Wait." The strange crazy guy Jace called after her, "you haven't even gotten a chance to know me yet." Korina laughed at his statement, "Well wasn't I supposed to know you before a proposal.""Dip shit." She scoffed still dragging her laughing friends towards the tables, she needed food and cake."Wha
Korina was wondering what had gotten into her, and why she was being nice to a man. She wondered if she had gone nuts as yes was the answer that came from her lips and Jace was currently pulling her to the dance floor.Damn! I must have had too much to eat and drink, She thought as she followed him. Jace felt elated as he wrapped his arms loosely around Korina's waist, he couldn't believe she was actually dancing with him, her arms around his shoulders, finger tips grazing the nape of his neck sent tingles down his spine, he got worried that he'd get over excited and mess things up.He looked up and saw Ade standing in a corner giving him thumbs up and a smile before signalling that he was leaving. "You know I normally don't do this with g
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."
