Korina didn't get rid of Jace on the first date as she vowed, in fact she had gone on many other simpler dates with him after that and she had taken more than a liking towards him.
"So are you guys like a thing now?" Daniella asked as she watched Korina apply extra mascara on her lashes.
"No Dan!" Korina sighed, "We are just two friends hanging out and having lots of fun."
"But you like him uhn?" She was smiling at her teasingly.
"Not deep feelings idiot but only as a person I love to hang out with." Korina rolled her eyes at her cousin, "And quit trying to get me into admitting my feelings, I do not have feelings for him."
"Uh uh... Whatever you say girl." Daniella stood up from the bed as Korina signalled her to come help with her zip, "Why haven't you made Anne and I formally meet him yet?"
"You haven't cause there is nothing between us, we are just friends." She let ou
"Serves you right, dipshit!" Daniella scowled at Jace as she watched him press the ice pack to his bruised face.He hissed at the feel."Oh come on Dan." Anne reprimanded her, "Cut the man some slack.""Thank you, Anne." Jace said, at least someone reason's here."Shut the fuck up!" She screamed at him, "You deserve worse."He let out a deep breath, just when he thought that Anne was reasonably on his side."What gave you the other black eye?" Both girls asked him."I went over to Korina's to have a talk with her." He explained, "But immediately she opened the door and saw me, she landed a punch in my face and shut the door.""Oh!" Anne said with a frown."And then I came here and Daniella did exactly the same damn thing." He continued, "What the hell is wrong with you all?""What is wrong with us
"I am sorry." Jace apologised for the umpteenth time but korina still said no word, "Please talk to me, please.""I want you to leave." She said finally speaking, she still hadn't lessened her glare on him, "I don't want you here.""You still haven't given me a chance to explain myself." He said to her, she really was stubborn, "You haven't heard me out yet.""What's your excuse uhn?" She growled at him, "Look I have been through this whole process. You already gave the memo, I get it, you ignored me for days without explanation and now you are here, for what?""I came to explain myself, jeez!""What do you wanna say?" She rolled her eyes, "Talk, explain yourself.""Please sit down." He pleaded gesturing to the sofa.She huffed and took a seat, "Speak." She said."Look, I had..." Jace started but was rudely cut off by Korina.
"And that's how you became his girlfriend?" Daniella asked with a shocked expression, she couldn't believe what Korina just told her."I am not his girlfriend." Korina rolled her eyes at her cousin, "He might have been joking or something and how's that even his first kiss?" She laughed loudly and stopped when she noticed her friends staring at her, their eyes unblinking."What?!" She asked them, "What is it? Why are you staring at me like that?""I am very sure it his first kiss." Anne said, "Strange I know, but have you seen that man around you, man! He's always nervous, I doubt he had ever approached a woman before you.""Anne is right and he is definitely serious about the girlfriend thing, like this dude is really into you.""Hmm." Korina just nodded at them."And you like him?" Daniella asked."Don't ask her girl." Anne said, "She fucking likes
"So are you ready to talk?" Korina asked Jace, they were having breakfast.He had woken up earlier before her and prepared it. The pain in his arm had reduced, it wasn't the first time he was getting shot."There is nothing to talk about." He responded dryly while refilling his glass with orange juice, "I was on my way here and I got shot.""I don't believe you Jace." She deadpanned, "Something isn't right, you are keeping things away from me.""I am not." He lied, "Just trust me Korina and let it go.""Trust you?" She looked at him, "I don't even know much about you, I don't know where you live, who your parents are and other important stuff.""And I don't know much about you either." He lied again, "I only know that you have been hurt severely.""Yea right." She scoffed."Wanna know about me?" He asked staring at her and she nodded excit
"You haven't heard from him?" Daniella asked Korina while adjusting her sunglasses."What's up with the large sun shades and dark fringe wig?" She asked her cousin ignoring her question."Nothing." Daniella lied, "Just decided to go for a new look today." She hated lying to Korina but she didn't want her to know or how to come clean on her abusive relationship, Landon had beat her up again."Okay." Korina shrugged, she reached out and picked a black shirt from the rack.They were at the shopping mall for some shopping, Daniella had forced her cousin out."What do you think of this?" She asked holding the shirt up against her body."It's too plain." Daniella snatched it from her and hung it back on the rack, "Haven't you heard from Jace? I asked earlier.""No, I haven't." She shook her head, "And I ain't calling his ass.""Why?" Daniella ro
"When the hell are you going to tell her dude?" Ade growled, "It's been two months, the sooner she finds out the better and the lesser the damage.""Ade, everything is going so well, I don't want to ruin it." Jace said, "Besides I think it's better keeping things away from her.""Fuck shit man!" His best friend growled, "The woman you claim to love doesn't know anything about you, how fucking rich you are, about your mafia or her mother.""It's safer for her not knowing.""And it would be worse if she finds out from Russo.""Russo wouldn't dare." He growled, "I told him to mind his goddamn business.""Mind his business?" Ade snorted, "Russo minding his business would only happen when dragons shit coins which is never." He said and Jace knew he was telling the truth."It's been two months Jace, she sure deserves to know so she could forgive you earlier."
"You don't have to do this mum." Jace said moving closer to her, "Let me help you." He took the plates from her and began setting them on the table."I am done with your laundry and the cleaning." Ade announced entering the dining room, "The cleaning lady doesn't even have to come in this week.""Thanks boys." The woman said and gave them each a kiss on the cheek, "Let's have dinner now." She brought the food to the table and served the boys before joining them at the table."So how has the week been?" Claire asked the boys."Jace has been his idiotic self as usual." Ade told her with an eye roll."Don't make me pull out my gun." Jace growled and Claire smacked him on his back."No guns at the table." She told them, "Behave yourself.""Fine ma'am." They both grumbled and kicked each other under the tab
"Maybe he went to the house to clean or do one menial Job or the other." Korina said trying to convince herself that Jace hadn't been lying to her all these while."No, I don't think so." Anne said, "I am very sure he's rich girl, I can swear those were the real Alexander Mc queen sneakers he wore.""And that time you talked about the watch on his wrist Korina." Daniella reminded her."What the fuck is going on?" She dropped on the sofa and let out a drained sigh."I seriously can't believe this." She said running her hands over her face, "I just can't believe this.""What are you going to do now?" Anne asked, "Like would you call him out? And if you do, he's definitely going to deny or give an excuse.""Yea he is gonna." Daniella said, "Probably say he went there to work or bring up some pretty convincing shit.""Who the hell is this man?" She cr
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."
