CHAPTER ONE

A flurry of morning activities was conveyed by the softly flickering morning sun on Houston, Texas's streets. "Beep! Beep!” Kelly's alarm reminded him of the adventures ahead. Even though he did not drink coffee, he could not sleep last night because of the problems he was facing. Kelly recently lost his job as a gatekeeper in an exquisite restaurant after he showed up late at work on many occasions. Living in the slums of America, he found it difficult to show up early at work. It is my reckoning day. He let out another sigh of exasperation and looked at his wall clock, which showed 8:30 a.m. A semi-detached bungalow with cracked walls and worn-out blue paint where he resides with his daughter, Ciara, after he lost his beloved wife. Kelly was already at peace with his fate and prepared for whatever lay ahead. His wife passed away too soon because he was unable to cover her medical expenses with even the pennies he had previously made from the restaurant. "I am aware t...

CHAPTER TWO
Is this a dream? My phone and cash! Hey, wait,” Kelly ran after the moving vehicle, screaming like a lunatic. He didn't know what just hit him. It took him 3 minutes to realize he had just been robbed. Wrapping his hands around his waist, he shook his head in disgust and sat next to a gigantic fence outside. He couldn't report to the cops or tell anyone what happened. "Where do I go from here? I don't even have a dime on me right now. What do I tell Ciara? How will she react to the devastating news?” Facing the sky, Kelly prayed silently in a faint tone. He got so engrossed in his thoughts and dozed outside, unbothered by the scorching sun melting his skin. "Hey, stranger. What are you doing here?” A passerby tapped Kelly and woke him up. "I'm fine,” replied, Kelly in a full-body stretch. He yawned and stood up. "My phone, where's it? I need to call my daughter immediately. She must be worried about me,” ransacking his pocket for his phone, he screamed. He immediately

CHAPTER THREE
"Don't be so ridiculous. I don't wanna believe you've got nothing inside that big head of yours. I don't want my father to find you here. We should think of getting you out of here before he walks inside,” bewildered, Ciara whispered. Her head was spinning. She could barely think straight to come up with a solution. "And I asked us not to have sex here. We could have just gone to your place. Now see the mess you caused me.” Ciara berated Walters for what happened. "Enough with the self-pity. It wasn't my fault. Don't act like you didn't want it, too. If you were so serious about this, you would have declined. But no, you jumped on the bed and spread your legs so damn wide while I fucked you so hard.” Walters clapped back and taunted Ciara. Leaning forward to her room door, Kelly called out again, this time, screaming out his lungs. "Ciara, I know you're in there. Why are you not answering? I've been calling for over an hour,” Making an indistinct chatter, she ordered Walters

CHAPTER FOUR
It's yet another day conveying new hopes and aspirations. Ciara still hasn't gotten over the shock of being sold to an arranged marriage without her consent. Now she's on the verge of losing Walters, the only man who loved and cared for her, just to fulfill her father's selfish interest. "He even threatened to attempt suicide if I went against his decision. This is indeed bigger than me.” Ciara pondered. She's been out of bed for over an hour, speaking to her reflection in the mirror and seeking answers that would never be answered. "I need to find a way to fix this mess. I'm an adult. I can't allow my father to play the lead role in my life. Enough of this bullshit. I'm done playing his script. I'm now in charge!” With a bit of confidence, Ciara spoke out as she got dressed and dashed to the living room to find her father watching, concentrating on a television show. "Good morning, Dad,” trying to force a smile, Ciara greeted, yet he ignored her and narrowed his focus on the

CHAPTER FIVE
The relationship saga hit Ciara so hard and pierced her heart like a dagger. She got so engrossed in her thoughts and forgot where she was. "Fuck you bitch. Watch where you going. I almost got you killed. If you're so tired of life, go jump into the Atlantic Ocean. Don't get me involved in your mess,” the man yelled at Ciara for standing in his way. "OMG! I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking. I never knew there was a car behind me,” she apologized. It took her some minutes to finally regain consciousness. “Sorry? Did you just apologize? Apologies, my ass.” The man angrily stepped down from his car and rushed to Ciara. “ I almost got you knocked down. Of course, you know what that means, right? I'll be spending Christmas in jail. Why don't I show you how sorry you should be?” Dragging Ciara by the ear and pulling her hair, he warned. “Don't try this shit with me next time because If you do, your folks will be planning your funeral. You pathetic bastard. Get the fuck out of my s

Chapter 6
“That's enough. I am not going to accept that from both of you. For crying out loud, why are you two acting like lunatics? You couldn't even acknowledge our presence. Have you suddenly lost respect for us?” George Cooper yelled at Dexter and Ciara as though they were kids. He wasn't biased in his judgment, neither did he pamper Dexter because he was his son. “Father, please cut me some slack.Whose side are you on? I can't believe you would say this to me. You were here when she insulted me. Why didn't you do something about it?” Dexter fumed at his father. He could barely conceal the frustration at George's verdict. As his son, Dexter figured that he was entitled to some kind of benefits, which his Father deprived him of. “Shut the fuck up, Dexter. I just knew you were going to be the first to speak. I would never be an advocate of irrational attitude,” George clapped back at Dexter. It didn't take him too long to do that. It's as though he's been waiting for this moment when he

Chapter 7
“Don't waste your time coming to talk to me because I would never pay attention to someone like you. We both know you're not doing this from a place of sincerity. Honestly speaking, who in their right senses would trust the loyalty of a poor man?” Dexter giggled as he poked fun at Kelly without holding back.For the second consecutive time, Dexter roasted Kelly like a barbecue chicken for trying to be supportive. One would think that Kelly had offended Dexter before and the latter was using the perfect opportunity to hit back at Dexter. The way Dexter does it so effortlessly makes Kelly wonder if he studied naughtiness at the University. “How dare you speak to my father in such a manner? Have you suddenly lost your mind?” Ciara raged as she stood up to confront Dexter. That was the only time she ever spoke. She's been keeping quiet for a while but the moment Dexter decided to get cocky toward her father, she decided to retaliate by standing up against Dexter.“Who's talking? I ca

Chapter 8
Leaning towards George, Kelly held on to him firmly without letting go, “George, please talk to me. What's wrong with you? I'm so sorry for not paying attention. I've been overwhelmed by the situation,”“I am fine. You don't have to worry about me. It's just my chest. I will be fine,” George lied. “I just need a chilled glass of water and I will be fine,” George added. However, his facial expressions didn't correlate with his response. He was struggling to breathe while assuring himself that he was fine.“And you expect me to believe you? Come on, George. You don't seem good to me. Do you want me to call a doctor?” Kelly suggested. He's been friends with George all his life, and he knows when George is telling the truth.“Are you two still arguing about this? We don't have the luxury of time to waste here. Mr. Cooper needs to see a doctor immediately. Can't you see he's struggling to breathe?” Ciara chipped in after a brief silence. The only time she spoke was the moment she notic

Chapter 9
“Did you hear what I just said, or do you want me to repeat it? I need to speak to a family member. Why is no one answering me? Why are you all making it seem as though I am talking to myself?” Doctor Escobar flared up. The silence was killing him. The reason he was tolerating them was due to how serious George's situation had become. “Doctor, can we not do this right now? You already know the condition of my health. Don't you think the most important thing is ensuring that I stay alive? I am pretty sure you don't want him to die in your hospital?” George protested. He couldn't bear the pain anymore. Doctor Escobar's ranting has pushed his button enough, forcing him to come out of his shell. It was starting to seem like a heated argument until Kelly was forced to step in and resolve the issue before it got messier than it already seemed. “Hey, Doctor. Can I please speak with you for a second? It's time-sensitive that I do that now.” Kelly urged. He couldn't stand and watch his f

Chapter 10
“Let's not get our hopes too high because Doctor Escobar decided to act cool. He might as well be pretending, just to aid your recovery. Next time won't be funny.” Kelly advised. He was the only person thinking In a different direction. “I am a bit confused right now What are you talking about?” George asked. Confusion has spread over his face like a virus. He ended up losing a few brain cells the moment he attempted to understand Kelly's standpoint. “There's no need for you to freak out.I was talking about your son, Dexter. Don't you think we should invite him over?” Kelly advised. It sounded like a good plan until Dexter's name was mentioned.George frowned at the suggestion immediately. “Like seriously? Dexter? You witnessed the brawl that happened between us in my office. Because of him, I suffered a heart attack. What are the odds that he would show up?” “It's better than not trying. You are not going to fold your arms and do nothing while you get kicked out of the hospita
