"Oh, my goodness! It is dark here. There is no fresh air and you turn off the air conditioner. This room stinks jazz! " she opens the windows and sprays some air freshener in the room. "It seems you haven't taken your bath for days" She hold her nose and Quicney didn't give her any response or react to it. She stares at her for a while. "Quicney, I made a cup of coffee for you" She gave him the cup of coffee but he refuse. She dropped it on top of the table. "Quicney, why are you like this? It is weekend and you are like this. You should be with your friends hanging out like we always do every weekend. When I left, you weren't like this. You look so unkept. This is unusual of you. What is eating up? " she draws closer to him. "Isabella, I am fine. You don't have to stress yourself because of me. I can take care of myself "he sat down upright and grabbed his pillowcase. "When did you come back? I thought you have decided not to visit your brother" he tickle her. "Bro, stop it! Y
He could read how she feels through the way she looks at him. She ran out from the bakery and Quicney ran after her. He was able to catch up with her. "Jeaune is not what you think. I can explain " he held her hand and she removed it at once. "There is nothing to explain. You don't hold me any explanation. You made me fall in love with you and you did this to me. Is she the reason you have been acting strange to Henrietta to make me feel special? You can't change because you are used to this lifestyle. I am done with you" her lips quiver. "She is my…. " he tried to say something but she cuts in. "I don't want to listen to any bullshit you have to say. She is waiting for you. I had to accept my fate that I am not lucky with love. Thank you for ruining my day" She walks away. "Fuck! Not again" he kicked the air. He didn't go back to the bakery. He went back to the car and waited for Isabella. Isabella brought some cupcakes and cookies. She was angry with Quicney over what he did. S
"Where have you been? "Her aunt asked while mixing some flour in the bowl. "Aunt, I went to get something for myself. I am sorry I stayed long" she put on the apron. "Sapphire, why are you lying to me? You rushed out of this bakery the moment you set your eyes on him. What do you have with him? " she turns around to face her. "Ignores that because there is nothing to talk about. He is an old friend of mine. I was surprised to see him here. Has that answered your question " She rolled her eyes. "You are hiding something from me. He is the guy you have been talking about. You were heartbroken to see him with another. Sapphire, I know it hurts to see someone you love with another. You have to take things easy with yourself" she continue with what she was doing. "Aunt, you had been right along. He is not the right guy for me. We are two different people from different worlds. I just have to accept my fate and move on with my life" She bows down and her aunt moves closer to her. "Sap
"Where did you get that video from? Have you been spying on me? Oh, my Goodness! I am finished " he placed his two hands on his head. "You see why I told you, you don't have a choice " she smiles. "Now I get it. You and Henrietta planned this up to use it against me. I messed up a big time. The whole thing was so fast. You can never have me with this? " he bared his teeth. "Well, we will see to that. If you don't agree to date me, I will post this video on all social media and TV stations. You know what that means. Have a nice day. Thanks for the meal though " She stood up and walked away. "How did I fall for this? I had to act fast before this video ruin my reputation" he said. He walked out of the cafeteria to look for Henrietta. Luckily for him, Henrietta was coming in his direction. He rushed to meet her. "Henrietta, we need to talk this minute" he grabbed her arm roughly. "Quicney, let's go off me. It's hurt" she scream in pain. He let go of her arm when they got to the bac
" Who must have killed her? She got killed after she told Quicney about the video. Does it mean Quicney has a hand in her death? He killed her to cover up his shame. I will never forgive him for this" All those thoughts kept running through her mind as tears rolls down her cheeks. Her phone rang and she stare at the phone. It was Quicney. "What is he calling me for?" She wipes off her tears before answering her call. 📞 "Hi, Jeanne "📞" Hi!"📞" Why is your voice sounding this way? Have you crying," he asked 📞"Yes, I had been crying. Have you not heard? "📞 "Heard about what? " 📞 "Courtney is dead! " 📞 " Courtney is what? Who could have done such an evil act? " he said but Sapphire didn't respond. 📞"Jeaune, you have to take things easy. See you in school," he said before he hung off. Eddie Wayne's mansion. Henrietta just finish watching the news and she was shocked over the death of Courtney. She turns off the TV immediately. "Who must have done that? She is a stubborn
"Jeaune, she has heard you. You have to stop crying. It's hurt me as much as it's hurt you. You have to move on with our life. She will forever remain in our hearts" He said and tears roll down her cheek. "I guess you are right. Her death bore a hole in my heart. Why do they have to kill her? " She shakes with sobs. "God is the right person to answer that question in a way you will get satisfied but he speaks to us in dreams. Courtney is with the lord. Stop crying" He said. Sapphire placed her head on his chest and he hugged her. "It's okay. We love her but God loves her more. He knows why he allowed the enemies to carry out their evil deeds" He said. She removed her head from his chest. "Jeaune, I think we should be friends because I know you won't want to be with a guy that cheats on you. I rather choose you to be your friend than to lose you. For some weeks, I had not been myself " he bow his head. "Quicney, we are more than a friend to each other. I had not been myself since
When Henrietta went home, she rushed to her father's reading room where he store all the necessary documents. She searched for the picture but couldn't find it. "Where could that be? " she said to herself. "Damn it! I want to be sure if she is the one. I know Miss Gaynell must have taken that picture away from this room. I hate her so much" She opened a book and found the picture in it. "I found it" She smiles and turns the back of the picture. Her eyes almost popped out from her eye socket. "She is the one. I knew from the start that she is the one my dad is desperately looking for. She will be so shocked when I call her by her real. Courtney is out of the way next is Jeaune. Her death will be a painful one. I can't wait for tomorrow to come. Quicney will soon be mine" she thought and smile. "What are you doing here? " Miss Gaynell said behind her. "Is that question for me? I don't hold any explanation. This is my father's reading room. I have the right to walk in and out of th
Sapphire went home immediately after her last encounter with Quicney. "Oh! My God. How will I explain to my aunt that I had failed her? She will never forgive me for this. In no time they will get to know my place and there will be no escape for me. I was blinded by love. I will never forgive him for this" Tears roll down her cheeks. She wiped it off immediately before walking into the house.. "Sapphire! " Her aunt raised her eyebrows. "Yes, Aunt" she managed to smile. "Why are you back home so early? Did you got suspended from school? " she moves closer to her. " Aunt, the school was boring. I decided to come back home because I feel sick" she lied. "You have been crying. Look at your eyes, they have swollen up. You missed her. She is dead and there is nothing anyone can do to bring her back. You have to cheer up, my angelShShe sat her down on the chair. "Aunt, she is part of my life. I missed her a lot" she lied. "You will be fine. I am going to make soup for you and you woul
