Five missed calls from Aella. What could be the problem? Collins thought to himself, as he called Aella.

"Hello," he said immediately. Aella picked up the call.

"What the fuck Collins, where have you been? Why aren't you taking my calls?" Aella yelled over the phone.

"What's happening Aella? I don't understand," Collins asked. He was confused as he couldn't understand why Aella was shouting on the phone.

"Where were you when mother was attacked?" Aella asked.

"Attacked?" Collins repeated.

"Come to the hospital Collins, I don't have time for your childish games over the phone," Aella ordered as she ended the call.

Collins couldn't understand what was happening, but he got dressed and ready to leave for the hospital. Immediately, he opened the door, and two strange men walked inside his house.

"Who are you?" Collins asked.

"We are here to collect our money," one of the men answered.

"You have the wrong address, sir," Collins said.

"The woman who contacted us said we would get the money

    "Yes, Collins, what happened to you?" Maggie chipped in.Collins stared at Maggie; he was dumbfounded and was also in a fixed position. Collins cleared his throat weakly."I was attacked," he muttered."Attacked?" Aella repeated."Yes, I was robbed at home; some goons came to rob the house, and I tried to fight them off, but one of them hit, and they ran away after taking our rent money," Collins explained, hating that he was lying to Aella, but he didn't want to return to prison."That's quite serious. Mom is also attached to some goons. Damien, is there something you can do? Aella asked.Collins and Maggie looked at each other. Fear was written all over Maggie, but she managed to rearrange her expression, letting out a slight cough."I will have the district police officer carry out an investigation; they will be able to find something one way or another," Damien answered as he took out his phone."I'm so sorry for the way I spoke to you on the phone earlier today; I was just sick an

    "I will go get the doctor to check her" Damien said, walking out of the room."Mom, you don't need to say that, I'm sure Damien can get a place for you and Collins to stay for the meantime,” Aella suggested.“I don't want to inconvenience him baby, and Collins, I feel like everything that happened to Collins is my fault”, Maggie sobbed.“No, mom, do not blame yourself for any of this, it's not your fault” Aella said.The doctor walked in with Damien and two other nurses. Aella moved, so the doctor could examine Maggie properly.“Like I said earlier, she is fit to go home, she just needs constant monitoring and someone to watch over her, the wounds still need some dressing as it can be done at home”. The doctor stated.“Thank you doctor” Aella said as the doctor left the room with the nurses.“Damien, I was thinking if we could find a new place for Collins and mom to stay for now”, Aella said to Damien.“Or baby, I can just stay with you instead of adding to Damien's shoulders, your ho

    “You heard me, mom. Damien's mother doesn't eat pork, nor will she be coming here tonight,” Aella repeated.“It's not a waste still; Damien will have something to eat when he gets back,” Maggie protested while turning on the cooker.“Mother, what exactly is wrong with you? Why won't you listen to me?” Aella shouted; all she wanted was to sleep, but Maggie was making that very difficult.“All I want to do is cook Aella; why are you making it a big deal?” Maggie fired back.Aella was shocked; she didn't expect Maggie's comeback, so she turned off the cooker one more time and walked out of the kitchen, carrying her dog back to the room.On the other hand, Damien had just picked up his mother from the airport and was driving her home.“You look exhausted, Damien; you shouldn't have come,” Damien's mother complained.“Mother, it's been such a day, and all I want to do is sleep for a very long time,” Damien replied.“How is Aella? I feel so bad for her. I can't imagine the emotions she must

    “Your mother is one sick crazy bitch, you know that, Collins,” Lawson commented.Collins narrated everything about Maggie to Lawson. When Aella told him the news of his discharge, it was a huge problem because Fred was going to come for him.Fred was his roommate and also a drug junkie; he was the only one who offered to take Collins in after he was done with his parole. Collins at first never knew he was into drugs, but over the months he found out.Collins offered to help Fred deliver drugs to his customers; that way, he could earn quick money. Everything was going so well until Maggie came along.Fred had moved the location of the packaging of drugs because of Collins, as he didn't want Maggie to find out about his drug involvement, but it was all in vain. Maggie found out and started buying secretly from Fred without Collins' knowledge.Fred had traveled for a short trip, and by the time he returned and saw a broken house, he would definitely look for Collins.

    Aella woke up very early that morning. She decided to go for a run. Damien and Maggie were still asleep when she left the house. She wrote a little note for Damien and placed it on the bedlamp stand, so he wouldn't look for her. She filled her water bottle, and she left the house.Maggie noticed when Aella left the house, and she decided to make breakfast for Damien, putting on a crop top that barely covered her breasts and shorts. She left her room, heading to the kitchen. On her way, she pressed her ear against Damien's room door, but she heard nothing.Damien woke up to an empty bed. He furrowed his eyebrows as he got down from the bed, picking up his phone, when he saw the little note Aella left.“I will be back soon, trying to stay fit,” Damien read out loud.He dropped the note as a smile replaced the frown on his face. He got into the bathroom, showered, and got dressed for the day.Damien left his room as he walked into the living room, and he saw Maggie in the kitchen.“Good

    “No way, Mother, you can't go with me wearing that,” Aella proclaimed.“What do you mean by that, Aella? What is wrong with my dress?” Maggie asked as she examined her dress.Maggie was putting on a short black bodycon dress with no straps; her boobs were spilling out of the dress, and her thighs were exposed."Mother, we are going to the mall for Christ's sake, not a club,” Aella nagged.“I know we are going to the mall, so what is wrong with my dress?” Maggie asked again.“Come with me, Mother; I am sick and tired of you,” Aella said as she dragged Maggie back to her room.“What are you doing, Aella? Let go of me right now,” Maggie yelled.“You are going to change your clothes, Mother, or we won't go anywhere; no shopping, and you can wear your pajamas for dinner,” Aella threatened.“I will not change my dress, Aella; there is absolutely nothing wrong with my dress,” Maggie fired back.“No problem, I will just go watch my series,” Aella stated as she turned to leave.“Wait, I will c

    Aella had just finished bathing; she had forgotten to take her towel into the bathroom, so she decided to get it from the room when the door opened. She was stark naked, and she grabbed the blankets immediately to cover herself.“Close your eyes!” Aella yelled as she wrapped the blankets around her body.“And why should I?” Damien asked as he walked into the room, closing the door behind him.“Damien, I am serious now. Turn around. Can't you see that I am naked? Get out of this room this instant,” Aella shouted.“There is nothing I have not seen, Aella. Go change in the closet; you have a bouquet waiting for you,” Damien replied as he dropped his wallet and the bouquet on the table.Aella walked into the closet, and she quickly put on some clothes. While drying her hair, she walked out of the closet to see Damien sitting on the bed; he didn't look so happy.“You bought a bouquet for me; that is cute, and it is my favorite flower too,” Aella commented as she carried the bouquet while i

    “What did you just say?” Damien asked; he never expected Aella to declare her likeness to him so brazenly.Aella did not respond; she turned her face away as a blush crept its way to her face.“Aella, I asked you a question,” Damien repeated.“You heard me, Damien. What part did you not hear?” Aella asked back.“Look at me, Aella,” Damien ordered.Aella turned shy as she faced Damien.“Say it again, Aella,” Damien stated.“I said I like pancakes.” Aella started, but Damien interrupted.“Do not play that shit with me, Aella; you know what I want to hear, so say it.” Damien cuts in, pulling Aella closer to him as he bends his head slightly.“Uh..uh. I like you,” Aella confessed, closing her eyes. Her feelings for him have grown over time, and she cannot keep them bottled up anymore. She loved Damien, but love sounded like a strong word, and she was not sure of Damien's feelings towards her.Aella was expecting Damien to say something, but he was still silent. She opened her eyes slowly

    Aella was swept off her feet more than she could have imagined, but not by someone she had thought. She decided she was not going to think about Damien or anything that has to do with him, or literally anything that is tied to his being.She didn't want to think about it. as much as she knew this was the happiest she had ever been since they got married.The least she could do for herself now was to stop ruminating about the past, not when she was starting to come back to being herself. This was the gift to herself, and this was more like the best gift ever. She will stop thinking about him and focus more on understanding herself; she was planning to get a divorce sooner than later. She wanted to be totally free so she could start living again.She's sat in the car; it's a new hair and a her new self. As they rode across the city, she looked back at Blythe, who seemed to be very happy and seemed to be thinking of something that made him smile every second. She looked away from his fac

    Just the right amount of sauce to make him look like God's sent. She stared at Blythe, who just unconsciously did the cutest things. There were times he talked to himself, there were times he just glared out the window, or there were times where he just picked up the salon magazine and read it, and his expressions whenever he came across something controversial made him the perfect partner to give your work the gist.Blythe had taken the initiative to get Aella a snack after every hour at the salon he got her milkshakes and takeouts.“Here's some for you!” Blythe voiced handing over the takeout box to her.By this time she had just started to make her hair; she had first gotten into washing it and then styling it.“Thank you!” She smiled, and he walked back to his seat.“That's an intentional mannn!" The hairstylist teased her as Blythe fully walked away.Aella didn't know what to think, nor did she know what to say to the hairstylist.“He's just my friend!” Aella responded with a smi

    He paced back and forth as he struggled to keep to himself for the past three weeks—nothing from her—nothing to keep his feelings in check, not even her green light.It was every risky to go visit her in her workplace, as he appeared to be a potential threat to Damien, especially when Damien was the reason for this whole mess in the first place.He picked up his phone for the billionth time trying to place a call to her and explained things well enough to her. But he couldn't; he couldn't bring himself to explain the truth of the whole matter to her; that would not only end him; it would also end their whole family name and career. The way they had left things off, they knew Marie would probably see him as a bad person or worse, a monster that didn't deserve to live.Seth had always wished he wasn't born into the family he was born into, and quite true, he didn't like it there, but ever since he met Marie, he had wished more for that prayer to come to pass than ever before.He felt c

    "Well, I must say you look absolutely beautiful." Blythe complimented Aella as he opened the car door for her.Aella had never had alone time with Blythe before; spending the whole day with him felt so illegal, but she knew she had to leave her room at least once so she wouldn't rot away in misery.She had thought about it all so much that she didn't want to think about it anymore; she just wanted to start living life again.The life she had thought she could live with Damien, but it turns out that she couldn't.It's funny how the same life she craved for was the same life God had helped her package with her mom; she could live freely and not depend on anyone.For the first time, she smiled, and that smile was genuine.“And I must say you don't look bad yourself!”. Aella responded with a soft voice.Seeing her smile is his delight, and he wanted more of it to happen. He kicked the car to a start, and they started their little journey.Aella wasn't used to engaging in conversations wit

    Yes, maybe there were people out there who hurt you real bad, but you need to understand that they shouldn't make you stop loving; you just choose to love yourself enough to love them and not overlove them, so you know when to leave or when to live by grace, just like you would give yourself a voice when necessary.Aella had left Vollini and Becca in the living room to discuss while she just went to her roomma. DN just wallowed.She cuddled up in her bed and just stared out the window. She watched as the snow fell lightly; she could think of nothing else than just...Her baby…Damien was no longer on her mind; she couldn't really care less; he had done what he had to do, and he had done his worst already.If he cheated, it really wasn't any of her business; the only thing she blamed herself for was staying that long trying to take her power back.She sighed again, giving the fact that she had so many things planned out for herself and her baby.She looked down at her phone and realize

    Chapter 139“Just when you thought you had it all, there another shows up to be the worst."Collins paced back and forth in the living room of Becca's house as he wanted to tell Becca about how unruly Damien had been to his sister. Aella wasn't in the midst of all these; they had allowed her to be alone for a while in her room, which they made sure to check on her on a few occasions.“Does he ever think at all, like why is he being the animal that he delivered me from, why is he being like that forsaken dude called Seth?" Collins raged again.Truthfully, he hadn't known his sister's case until they got home from the hospital, and immediately he heard it took the strength in Becca to keep him grounded and not go to confront Damien.Collins had just arrived at the right time.Becca was instantly notified of how inseparable Collins and Aella are; she saw how much love they both have for each other, and she is more than willing to love them both.But she wondered who this sort of guy Coll

    Not all that glittered seems to be gold... But for Damien, his vomit seems to glitter like gold and looks like the most beautiful diamonds from the outside.As he dropped Aella in the hospital, he turned back and went back to work. He didn't bother to ask what happened to her or what might happen to her; he asked then if she was going to be fine, and they said definitely the rest if it was none of his business, but unfortunately enough, they told him as much as he didn't want to hear about everything the doctor called him as he got to the office.The doctor's call came through as he was about to enter his office. On getting into the office, he noticed that Amelia was no longer in the office, including her bag and all. He answered the call and settled down.Luckily, the doctor happened to be his friend!!!“Hey Corniel!” He voiced over the phone, rearranging his fiel and just getting ready to head home.“You seemed to be in a hurry; was there something that came up?” Corniel asked as t

    Sometimes things aren't always as they seem, sometimes it's the opposite and sometimes it's true but sometimes it's just complicated.But for Aella it was exactly what it seems like, Damien was slowly bringing in his ex into their marriage to replace her and guess what??She wanted it that way…At least with that she was out of the marriage and out of his life.“What was what?” She asked, popping a lollipop in her mouth.“Hmm, nice strawberry flavour!” She thought to herself after the full taste of the lollipop filled her mouth.She honestly didn't care about the useless and unrecognised tantrum Damien was throwing in fact nothing was going to make her care in this world, and If there's a next, she wouldn't even beat an eyes“That nonsense you did back there you thought was funny, what if everyone believed you?” “Why wouldn't they believe me, none of it was a lie” Aella shruggedAella scater so many months still wondered why Damien's lying capability still shook her,,.“Why does he l
