After class, I went out to the cafeteria, as usual I sat by myself and watched each one rally around gisting and doing all sorts of things."Hello Gena"A voice spoke behind and I turned almost falling to the ground.Chris ran and grabbed me close to his chest.Immediately there was a time seize, everyone there all gasped seeing that.Even mara as well."Chris, what are you doing here?" I Whispered, feeling uncomfortable."I came to see you, is that a crime" he whispered also.It wasn't a crime but please, Chris must have come here for a reason and not to get me in a hyper mood."Tell me the truth, why are you here!" I interogated again.He pulls away from me and the Dean Fabian call out standing at the cafeteria door."Mr Jason, please can you come with me" he says.Chris, as I know left with him. Curious? Yes you can say that and the next minute, I sneaked out of the cafeteria and rode to the dean's office.I listened standing at his door.They both whispered and that wasn't helpfu
I ran in as if I was begin chased, my hair messy and my body posture that of someone who ran from the cops."Mariah, why are you looking unkept?" Mom walks in.I scanned and thoroughly looked at myself, what can I tell her? Do I tell mom that I had a beautiful session with our next door neighbor?.."Nothing mom, It's been a long day in college and I'm exhausted," I answered, leaving for my room.I shut my door, tossed my bags on the ground and walked into the bathroom to change into my nightwear.My eyes slowly fell asleep.I walked to my bed, pulled out the bed sheets and fell on them exhaustingly exhausted, if that's a word in the English dictionary.I couldn't help it, I needed sleep and I'm certain I'm going to get a good one.I slept seizing every sound and creeping things around me..When suddenly I saw myself inside of a house, I took a step further and saw a family portrait on the wall.There was a man and a woman, with a little girl holding unto both of them.I heard footst
I regained consciousness again, having no clue it was the following day, what the hell happened?, Memories of what might have transpired last night, were hazy, I couldn't remember anything, except for the fact, I almost got in trouble with some guy's on my way out for a stroll in the evening.I rode outside and coming towards my direction was Elijah, he came with a tray filled with fruit and veggies."Hey, you're finally awake" he says."Yes, good morning," I nodded holding out my hand to help with the tray.He motioned I shouldn't bother and so we both left together to the dining room table.Elijah had me treated like the queen of England, he filled the table with food and with so much to choose from I ended up tasting everything.Chris came in and meets us there, we both shared the exact gaze and he seats next to me and his brother.Drake positioned a breakable plate in front of him, he takes it and filled the empty plate into a full course meal.However I don't know mom had retuned
A MONTH LATERWe were about rounding up with the schools calendar, it was atum and we were meant to go for a short break.I'm excited because I needed to have at least a whole day of not reading, it's exhausting.Mom actually took her job a little serious than expected, she hardly goes to the hospital and it's gradually getting on the nerves of her superior.She comes home late and tell me, Mara's grandfather had a seizure at home.I would have believed her but please tell me, does Mara's grandfather get a seizure everyday?. Something isn't right.I played the innocent and oblivious child, she took my silence as been naive, mom has got to idea what's brewing in my mind."Gena I'm going to work," Mom yelled my name, I ran out to Walk her outside but she rode away and left with a taxi.Is mom really going to work?. I was curious to know where she's going to, I stopped another taxi and asked the driver to follow mom's car.Our car reached the destination and I saw she was at the home o
I noticed my legs wasn't touching the ground anymore, and I was being tossed over the shoulders of a stranger."Where you taking me to?"I cried out.I didn't get any response, I tried fighting back but he locked my hands together and flung me inside a van.The sound of it starting got me a lot paranoid, who might be responsible for this?, Or perhaps is Mara playing some kind of tricks on me?.The person driving stopped after sometime. I had no idea where we were and if that wasn't enough, I was dragged out and flung over the shoulders of the same person again."Keep her there?"A masculine voice let's out.That voice sounded familiar, like I know who just spoke.I was brought down finally being on my feet.I stood trying, heeding to someone approaching towards me I withdrew back, and didn't know there was a broken glass scattered on the ground.I didn't know, and so stepped on it."Ahh!!" I cried out in pain."Gena, are you okay?.A hand cried me, we moved forward and I was dropped
The next morning, I fell asleep on the floor with a pillow underneath my head, I turned and opened my eyes welcoming a beautiful scene.Elijah was next to me, his eyes glittering like the morning sun, "good morning, Gena" he greeted."Good morning Elijah, why are you here, you should be resting" I said getting up.He grabs my hand and dropped me down again, I grunted and he climbed on top of me."What are you doing?" I asked."I don't know oh!! Can you please tell me" he gave me an open cheque.I nodded and asked him to get off. He declined and grabbed my head up with both his hands."May I?" He asked gazing at my lips.I noticed that and folded it, he laughs and made a kiss on my cheeks."That's for everything," he added and left me looking confused.He walks through the door.I got up, driving outside, Elijah rode into his house and the same time, Chris comes out, he sights me and I turned faking a smile.I went back in, and the thought of having a good morning meal alone made my t
"Tell me something, why was Elijah anger with you the other day, you kidnapped me?" I interrogated.Chris became unsettled all of a sudden, he withdrew a step backwards and declined every idea I felt was just a product of my imagination and trust me, I don't buy that shit."You're lying Chris, there's something you aren't tell me?" I said once again."There isn't miss private investigator and yes, I'm done watching over you and I'll be going now".He take a turn and flew back the same way he came.Why do I have this feeling like, he just left only to stop answering questions, and now so much as happened between both brothers and I don't know anything about that?.If Chris doesn't tell me anything, I'm certain Drake would tell me all that I want.The next morning, I got up from bed and wanted to have a jog around the streets, It was just a feeling I couldn't understand, because I haven't actually been the going to gym type.So, I wore my gym clothes and hit the streets, I ran past an I
I kept on searching for them, I walked at the back of the house and to my surprise, I met both brothers having a blast, Chris saw me first and turns his brothers attention.Elijah gets unsettled by my presence and walked up to me, "what's wrong with you?, Didn't you listen when I told you not to come" he frowned.Yes he did tell me not to come but come on, I couldn't help but hope everything was okay, I explained everything to him yet Elijah asked me to leave and wait in the car.I made a new turn and on my way out, a man's voice grilled our attention; he walks out from the crowd and came."The stark brothers are here and in my house, how lovely is this visit?" He rewinds a step back and caught me, "you must be Gena I've heard so much about you," he puts in.Heard so much about me?, How the hell is that possibly and to honest, u don't know who is he.Elijah and Chris, both walked in front blocking his gaze, I peeked from the back and saw he smiled seeing such attitude."Isn't this lov
Alyssa comped her feet on the ground, she bumped into me and without saying the magic words, I was nudged away, "jeez!! What's her problem" I said to myself as I watched her leaveAlyssa walked out and saw me there, She shoots a smile at me, and I no a fake smile when I see one, "Gena Are you okay?" She asked, waiting for my response."I am fine! Why do you say so?" I asked suspiciously about her concerns about me, thus, she kept the exact look and said, "nothing but I saw you looking at someone, who if I may ask?"I juggled my head and answered her question, "no one in particular! I was only lost in thought" I said minus the fact I just saw her supposed fortunate daughter-in-law ambling out of the room, pissed."Oh okay, have a great night dear". She walks back into her room, and after a few headcount , I left as well. The next morning, I got up from bed, and breakfast was already fixed on the table for me, "who did this?" I gazed on surprised when Sadie walked in, holding two glas
The following I strolled into Elena's room after spending a night with Gena, Elena veers and took notice of me, "hello sir! Finally you come to see me!! Please come in" she says with the sweetest tone. My feet veered close and I said, "hello!! How are you ?, Elena's eyes deems and she said, "I am not fine!! You forgot to see me," she frowns and rooms an off look, not quite long, Gena walks in with the doctor, she sees me with her daughter and shoots me an odd look, stylishly pulls me away to the side."What are you doing here?" Gena asked as we faked smiled in front of the doctor, attempting not to lead Elena on. "What do you mean by that? I am here to see my daughter? What exactly do you want me to say" I answered maintaining the same look on. Mariah falls her eyes and pushed me out of the room, "leave Drake" she ordered and paid close attention to Elena who tries to pay heed to our conversation."Please!! Listen to me" I hoped to make her understand yet she angrily gets into the
Now reading as Elijah POVAfter getting to know the truth, of Gena daughter, I withdrew home and walked into my room without altering a single word to my mom who took notice of my presence in the living room.I was so mad about the whole dilemma going on, I dismissed the presence of my family downstairs and banged the door to my room.Abruptly after a while, Abdul strolls over and tells me that Jake was in the living room waiting for me, it's either he wishes to die by my hands, Because he not only betrayed me by taking the woman of my dreams, they both had their first seed together. Out of the rage, I still feel, I rushed down and saw the angered look on his, Jake walks further, and before altering a single word, he jabbed me on my stomach, weakening me to the floor.Harris rushed over as well as my mom who attends to my aid, "what is wrong with you? Are you mad?" Mom says to him yet he vents out in a raised tone, "no, I am not mad but your son is".I mailed cards of curious gaze to
"Hmm, your mom seems like a strong woman, what about your father?" Sir Elijah asked, fiddling with my response."My father is fine but he traveled, hopefully, he comes back and celebrate my birthday with me," I told an untruth.The whole day ran by the speed of light, I returned home after back-breaking work in the office and I need to get a good night's sleep.I strolled in and took notice of grandpa holding a glass of mom's mojo latte in his hand."Good evening grandpa, Good evening mom". I drowsed my way into my room and dozed off the second I fell on the bed.After a while, mom walks in, she caught me sleeping soundly, and covered me up with a blanket. "Good night my love and tomorrow will be another stage in your life" her sweetened voice spanked me deep to sleep, I was so exhausted to the point if a gun was shot, I wouldn't even know.There was a calmness in the atmosphere, the breeze walked through the window and danced around me, I felt like a kid being caressed by a strange
Afterward)For the past two hours, the whole house was filled with so many guests who not only came for the office but we're also business associates to Mr. Elijah.They were strange and had off kind of hair style, a lady bumped into me and grabbed my hands in a most creepy manner, I almost felt scared, if not for Drake's intervention.One by one, bit by bit, everyone left to their various destinations, I waited for a cab at the entrance of the Mansion, when a car drove and stopped in front of me. I pulled my head downwards and took notice that it was Mr. Elijah car, he shoots me a weak smile and asked me to get in, thus without reluctance I pushed the doors to his car open and got in maintaining a shy smile."Thank you so much, sir?" I said and watched him drive off.(A few hours later, his car stopped at the front of my home, he veers hence the second he tries to tie his eye to the huge house placed in front, a call came through, he turns away to answer the call.He was so engross
I returned to my office, I walked in and saw Liza seated waiting for my return.She veers when she noticed my presence behind, "good morning Gena how are you?". I know there was a reason behind her being nice to me, I walked over, dropped the file I was holding, and veered my eyes to her, "I am fine, but tell me why are you here? And please tell me the truth". I muttered back, smurfing a weak smile on her face. She answers back to me, "I came to tell you that, from now henceforth, please watch your back! Because I'll make sure, I humiliate you, after taking my job from me, bye for now". (She walks away from the office, and banged the door behind) ...."Urgh! witch" I veered my eyes away in irritation.(10:45)I was informed that Elijah uncle and aunt were at the conference room waiting for me.I walked out of the office and veered in wearing a smile, "good morning uncle, good morning aunt!" I greeted wearing a weak smile."Good morning" Mrs. Aziz Ansari let out, wearing a warm smi
Elijah later returned his eyes to the woman, he was getting married to! I saw the way they looked lovingly at each other. My heart almost jumped out of my chest, no matter how hard I try, it still pains me to see the man I almost spent my life with, now gets married to someone else, I got so emotional to a point that, I walked out of the wedding arena, holding a handkerchief in my hand. I buffed out a deep breath, getting my emotions in check when I felt a presence behind me. I swirled to see mara, who ran a startled look on her face, "why are here?. I took in a deep breath and explained leaving no information behind, Mara poked her head inside the wedding arena and saw Drake reading his vow, he then returns it to me, hurling out a question, "are you okay?" Mara knows how much I loved Elijah and today seeing the same person whom I have loved, get married to another person, pained me a lot. I had nothing to say but reacted by pulling her for a warm hug. A cloud of relief co
It's been five years since Elijah kicked me out of his life, his house, and his heart, luckily God sent an angel in form of a past enemy, Mara was her name, she not only helped me in dark times but as always been with me and my daughter, (Elena ), I wasn't able to tell her who his real father was! So she calls us both mom's "Good morning baby girl!" I woke her up with a warm kiss, she veers and shoots me a weak smile, reciprocating with hers too. "Good morning mom!".After Elijah and I, walked apart, no day passes by I don't see her father in her, she was a replica of him, (smiles)."Get ready for school and come down for breakfast?" I said rather she weaves out a question to me, "Mom! Where is mom mara, she didn't come in with you to wake me this morning?". Mara walks in the second she asked of her, wearing an apron around his waist. "Good morning my princess! Am sorry, I wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed".I veered back to see the huge smile on her face, indeed she
I went towards the men's room, i called out and accidentally bumped into an elderly man that gave me a deep stare.It was more like an angry gaze, but I don't knew yet.After he left, I looked twice before walking into the men's room.To much suprise, Elijah wasn''t in.Where is he?.I left and on my outside, I found him talking to a lady in a secluded spot.He didn't see me and that gave the opportunity to sneak up on him."Elijah, what's going on?'He gets tensed at my presence, the lady too seemed to be in the same position, it was as if I met them doing something wrong.."Gena, why are you here?".Elijah interogated."I came to look for you" I asked."Why, I was just coming to meet you"He starmmered."Really, then who's the lady next to you".I added.I turned and waited for him to explain, the Lady gets a step closer and said, "my name is Alyssa, and I'm Elijah step sister"Wait, whaaat?.Its unbelievable to think he has a family after the death of his father and brother.Elija
