Fortune enjoyed the festive holiday and felt like it was better than the previous festive holidays she had. Enjoying her birthday with her family was the best part for her, She also had an official boyfriend who understood her and was patient all the time. She felt lucky to find such a guy and fortune could possibly say that she started to like him. Furthermore, she had time to go out with her best friend Asia and took her young sister who would graduate from high school in three years time as well. Not wanting negative energy around her, she avoided her cousin as much as she could. In addition to all this, she would see Brandon once in a while and everything felt right with fortune. Nevertheless, the holidays came to an end and it was time to go back to school. Asia made an appointment with her best friend and both agreed that they would go back together. Although everyone felt sad that fortune would be going back to school, Lisa looked at her sister who was packing her luggage, it was evident that she was extremely sad. "Lisa, do you still talk to Lily?". Fortune thought of a way to cheer up the little girl and asked her about her best friend. "yes, we still talk" Lisa responded cheerfully and began telling her sister stories about their friendship. According to the arrangement she made with Asia, she was suppose to wait for her to come home and pick her up, then they would proceed to school. Fortune felt a little impatient waiting for her friend to arrive. "dear please have some patience, I'm sure Asia will be here soon" Fortune's mother spoke seeing how impatient her daughter was. At this time, Fortune's phone rang and she rushed over thinking it was Asia calling, surprisingly, it was Brandon. " hello, how are you? will you be going to school today or you will go tomorrow?" Brandon asked. "actually I'm waiting for Asia to come and pick me up from home, then we will proceed to school" fortune replied. "oh okay then, I wanted to pick you up but I guess it's fine". "yes it's alright, don't worry I will manage thanks" fortune responded with a smile. She hung up the call and immediately called this crazy friend of hers. The phone rang for a few seconds before it was answered "Fortune I will be there in ten minutes please don't be angry" Asia said this knowing how impatient her friend was. Fortune hung up without saying a word, she detested waiting the most cause she was never a patient person. She looked at her watch, knowing how Asia was, she decided to wait for about 20-30 minutes and sat on the couch browsing through some news on the internet, she didn't know how long it had been she heard footsteps approaching her and felt lazy to lift up her head thinking it was probably her sister or mum. "Fortune please forgive me for being late" she heard Asia's pitiful voice and just sighed. "fine let's get moving" Fortune said bye to everyone home and told her parents to take care of themselves then left. Nevertheless, despite arriving school a little late, they found their apartment clean and tidy waiting for them. They didn't want to cook so they bought food on their way hence making it easier for them.
Early the next day, Asia and fortune prepared themselves for class in their respective rooms. They had their breakfast and went straight to class.
Being the first day, they expected to see a few number of students but to their surprise, it's like everyone had reported. Lessons went on as usual till the last lesson of the day came to an end. They leisurely walked back to their little home, unlocked the door and went in. At this moment, the living room was scattered with books and they were both immersed in studying when the door bell rang. The two girls look at each other with confused expressions, who could it be at this time. "Let me have a look", Asia stood up, walked to the door and asked who it was before she could open "it's Brandon". Asia smiled and opened the door"please come in". Brandon walked in and sat beside his girlfriend. Seeing the mess in the living room, fortune smiled at Brandon apologetically and asked "is it fine with you if we go to my room instead?" she asked. "sure, there's no problem". Brandon responded and his tall figure walked up to Fortune's room and he sat on her bed directly. having this kind of p
Brandon walked out with Camilla and directed her to his car. They both sat in the car and Brandon asked, "where are we going?" Camilla smiled and answered "would it be a problem if we went to your apartment?" Brandon didn't think much about it, he started the cars engine and drove to his apartment. Non of them spoke till they got to Brandon's apartment, he lived alone lucky enough, Camilla felt relieved. They went in, Camilla helped herself and sat on the couch. "Why are you with my boring and annoying cousin? I can see she's probably not treating you right" Camilla suddenly spoke. Brandon smiled "so how does it concern you if your cousin is not treating me right? aren't you not ashamed to seduce your cousin's boyfriend?". Camilla smiled, got off the couch and walked up to him "I'm not ashamed and can never be ashamed if I go for something I like or want". She moved closer to him and gave him a seductive dragon fly kiss, so smooth that it sent shivers down his spine. Brandon couldn'
Looking at his time, the doctor told him that she would be awake in two hours time. it had only been 30 minutes. He suddenly heard a phone's vibration and looked in the direction of the bag, Ashley remembered throwing her phone in her bag so it must be the phone ringing. He rushed over, rampaged over the things in her small bag, found her phone and answered it directly "fortune why have you taken so long to answer and where are you? Chris is here with me and we plan to have dinner outside so hurry up". "excuse me, I'm sorry this is Ashley speaking", wait, wasn't this not Fortune's number, Asia looked at her phone again, yes it's Fortune's number "Ashley from where? what are you doing with my friends phone?" Asia had a bad premonition "I accidentally hit her so I brought her to the hospital but it's nothing to worry about". "how dare you hit my friend and say it's nothing to worry about, which hospital and what's the ward number I'm coming there right away". Chris who was
Despite the criticism he got from Asia earlier, Ashley didn't get agitated. He smiled and said "well accidents do happen and I should have been more careful myself so it's not entirely your fault". Fortune smiled and nodded "do you feel any pain" Asia asked "I do but it's not something I can't handle" upon hearing her friends words, she looked at Ashley and said "please get the attending doctor to come over She needs to be checked". Ashley went out and called for the doctor. fortune was asked were she felt pain as well as a few more questions, the doctor confirmed that it was not serious. He told her she needed bed rest for a week or two for quicker recovery. At this moment, Brandon was busy rolling over the sheets with Camilla and was enjoying this wild type of intimacy they were having, after a couple of rounds, they stopped. "hey will you tell that stupid girl that you are done or you want me to do it for you?" Camilla asked. Brandon thought of the innocent girl that he had been
Fortune was at a loss for words. Asia walked out of her room with a piece of paper that had a list of the things needed. " you hit my friend when she was on her way to get these groceries and because of you running her over, she couldn't get them so you have to get them and you better not leave out anything" Asia spoke in a commanding tone. Ashley sighed and nodded, he just had to do it even though he has never bought groceries in his life, at least he had the list on a paper which would make things a little easier. He took the paper and walked out. Asia chuckled and looked at her friend, "I hope he doesn't run away". "You can be troublesome at times, why bother the young man like that". Asia just laughed and knew she had gone a little too far but still, he run over her friend so he had to be nice, what if it had been a serious accident,what if her friend died on the spot. oh no she couldn't let it go just like that. "Fortune what's happening between you and Brandon, did you argue?"
"Having an intimate relationship with someone now is not what I want, I am only in my second year and still have a long way to go, if he understood me then this wouldn't have happened" Fortune analysed everything in her point of view. "come on girl don't worry about all this, I support you fully, it's not all the time that we should do things we don't want to do for others especially if it's for the other person's selfish desires, don't". fortune sighed "well let's forget about all these things, I will have a talk with him and clear things up when I get better". Meanwhile, at this time Camilla was thinking of how she would lure her cousin to Brandon's apartment so that she could see the scene of her in Brandon's arms. She smirked and knew exactly what to do. The next day which was a Monday, Asia had to go for class alone but before she left, she prepared breakfast for her friend, At lunch, Asia bought a takeaway pack of food for herself and fortune then quickly walked back to
Camilla prepared everything before hand, she made sure to leave the bedroom door slightly open then played some music loud enough for her and Brandon not to hear the doorbell ring. knowing that silly girls character, she is definitely going to come and ring the doorbell. She also made sure the entrance door at the apartment was not locked and slightly closed it making it easy for anyone to just push open the door. They went for a round and this stupid girl hadn't arrived yet, damn it, I hope my plan works out. She saw that it was almost 7pm, she and Brandon continued to roll the sheets. Fortune and Asia at this time found a cab to quickly drive them to Brandon's apartment which was less than a ten minutes drive. They arrived and fortune rang the doorbell, just as Camilla had predicted. She rang the doorbell several times but no one opened. fortune looked at her friend and said "maybe his gone out, let's go back". " fortune we didn't come all the way just to go back like this? beside
You have always looked down on me and think I'm inferior to you. let me tell you that you dream, you dare to make yourself look good in a broken mirror and think you are something? I had an atom of respect left for you as a cousin but seeing how low you degraded yourself, I'm ashamed to tell anyone that we are related. You knew very well that Brandon was my boyfriend, you knew it. This low level character of yours is inadmissible, I don't expect much from a person like you" Fortune finally poured out all the words she had been holding back. "Brandon, whenever you see me either in school or outside school, let's act like strangers, I have never met you, you have never known or spoken to me and ignore me as plain air, I will do the same, that includes you Camilla" a burst of gun powder was filled in the air and Camilla raised her voice by few decibels"you stinky girl how dare you! Camilla was so angry that she felt like her heart was on fire. She strode towards fortune lik
The call got disconnected and fortune was all over Zack. "Come on Zack did you have to say that, do you want to make my relationship with my dad awkward? Come on don't be so mea "At this moment, the back door of the car was suddenly opened, Zack and fortune simultaneously looked at who opened the door and saw Asia carefully sitting inside the car."Fortune, you have already tied your life to this big bully, you need to get used to it" Asia said in a mocking tone. Fortune and Asia enjoyed the ride while Zack drove to a restaurant not far from the main villa where they lived. The three had their lunch and went back.Ashley sat in his room, he was in such deep thought that he didn't hear the door being opened. "Ashley, do you have a few minutes to spare?" Asia asked politely. Ashley didn't respond or look at her, Asia raised her brow and looked at Ashley, she noticed he was in deep thought."Ashley,
Asia sat in her room in deep thought. She sighed heavily then stood up and grabbed her bag then walked out. She asked one of the driver's outside to prepare the car and sat in the back seat of the car. "Ma'am, where am I taking you?" The driver asked respectfully."Hunter's view cemetery " Asia responded lazily. The driver nodded then drove out... ashley stood near the window and looked at the car that drove out, he sighed helplessly and questioned if he was doing the right thing. He knew that Asia would probably never love him cause she had always loved Chris. What will be left of md if she doesn't fall for me? I probably will never have a child in my life cause she will never allow me touch her, but what kind of a life will that be? Am I subjecting my life to some sort of self imprisonment because of love? Ashley shook his head...no, why am I thinking this way? I can't turn back on my decision, I must
Zack just nodded, he had no other words to say, No answers to give as to why all this happened. Mr Jacobs turned and walked out leaving zack in the ward. A few hours slowly went by , zack was still in the ward, he tried to sleep a couple of times but couldn't. "Chris, don't go, you can't leave me, please come back. If..if you leave, what's there for me to live for? OK fine...fine, if you want to leave, I will come with you. I...I will come with you, wait for me, Chris! I said wait for me, don't leave me please. I need you, don't go" Asia said in her sleep as tears flowed down her face. Zack was taken aback by this, it was obvious this dream felt real for her. He walked up to Asia's bed side and patted her on the cheek. "Asia, wake up, it's just a dream, wake up! Come on wake up""No, Chris come back, come back to me""Asia wake up! Zack said in a loud voice.Asia opened her eyes, she sat u
Asia felt like her world was coming to an end, everything around her began to spin uncontrollably until everything suddenly became dark. Asia passed out at this moment, "doctor, hey nurse. Take her to the ward, let her rest. Give her something that will help her rest" zack instructed the nurses around then sat on a corner in deep thought. At this moment, he didn't even what he was thinking of. Fortune wiped her tears then walked up to zack's side. She sat beside him and threw herself in his arms , a hug is all she could do right now to comfort him. Fortune thought about Asia's state and shivered upon thinking of the scene earlier. Exactly how will Asia manage without Chris in her life. Half of her life has been about him, she has loved him for so many years and now, he is gone. Zack held fortune in his arms as he blankly stared at the wall in the opposite direction. Chris father was comforting his wife, he looked at
At this moment there was a loud roar of thunder and it soon began to rain...with the wind and lightening, Zack felt even worse by the sudden storm. He felt like the whole world was closing in on him. He had never felt this helpless before , the pain was suffocating him , no air conditioning was enough to make the sweat off his forehead stop. He had no idea on how to console Asia or what words to use... Or find something to say that could make her feel better. Zack paced back and forth thinking of what he would do next. Kevin is dead, Alex was also dead, what else could he do in the name of revenge? This feeling was something he had never felt before, he suddenly screamed with all his might then fell to the ground again, panting and sweating. "Zack you need to calm down, it's not like Chris is dead so just..."Only a miracle can save him at this moment" Zack interrupted absent mindedly. Terry was stunned, could it be that the situation is this bad?
Asia smiled at her father and they slowly walked in. Fortune and camilla went in last and sat at the back . Asia felt a little nervous but with her father beside her, she felt relieved."Chris, I give my daughter to you, my only daughter. Love her, take care of her as a wife, respect her and always make her happy" Asia's father said this with so much emotions, he stepped back and motioned for the priest to begin the ceremony. Kevin who was in the crowd signaled for Alex to get ready, he was not willing to wait for Chris and Asia to be pronounced husband and wife....At this moment, Kevin and Alex both stood to their feet, Ashley who was a little absent minded noticed this action and subconsciously yelled in a loud voice "Asia get down". Chris reacted before the bullet could reach Asia,he stood in front of Asia like a shield, receiving the bullets being shot at him. The church hall was in chaos as everyone lay on the floor screaming
"Zack come on, must you mock me on my wedding day? Give me a break man, what's wrong with you?""Ok fine, listen here, stop worrying about this little bow tie and pay heed to my words. I am advising you as a friend, women can be a little funny at times, you need to treat your wife with extra care, get her some roses on your way back home..at least do it frequently. I learned this on the internet, it's another way to avoid too much nagging. So if you want less nagging, get her rose flowers on your way back home, get her chocolate or ice cream as well, you know how much she likes such irritating foods.And advising you as a brother in law, don't you dare hurt my little sister, or else I will forget about our friendship and skin you alive"Chris sighed helplessly without knowing what to say."Terry, organize a few of your men, just for security purposes. Kevin wouldn't try to make any funny moves, at least that's what I think" Zack said in a firm voice."Ok a
Fortune pouted her lips, "Zack, stop playing around here, I am serious. I want to ask you a question and I need you to answer me honestly"Zack nodded to fortune then closed his laptop and gave his attention to her.Asia looked at the two and thought it would be inappropriate for her to stay.She stood up and fixed her clothes then cleared her throat just to , get their attention. "I will leave you two so you can catch up. Fortune, remember my wedding will be soon and I have yet to make a decision concerning my wedding dress. I will need your help so don't give so much of your time on my brother, please. I am the one who needs attention. My brother is fine and healthy as you can see. So please, I hope you keep my words in mind. Your best friend needs you now more than ever" Asia said mockingly and winked at Zack before she turned."You say that you need her now more than ever, are you going to marry her? She must spend most of her time with the ma
Fortune giggled and quickly left the ward. Natasha was taken aback by the interaction between the two and was immersed in jealousy. What does this girl have that I don't have? Why does every man want her? I know fortune is a beauty but I am equally beautiful. I was hoping I could get close to this patient but this silly girl seems to move faster than me. But wait, it seems the two knew each other before now. Anyways it doesn't matter, I need this handsome guy, he must be mine. After all, it's obvious Ken doesn't want me, I lost interest in him the day I saw Zack so why should I waste my time on ken? Natasha was deeply immersed in her own thoughts, forgetting about Zack."Is this how you work?" Zack spoke in a deep voice which startled Natasha."Oh sir, I am sorry about that. Let me quickly check on your wound, we need to make sure there isn't any infection" Natasha spoke in a soft voice.Zack didn't say anything, he let Natasha check on his wound until she was done.
