~How quick Sadness shadows~-Anonymous“Someone is hungry..” Shawn teased with a slight chuckle“Damn my stomach! Such a traitor” I muttered within my breath, embarrassed.“Since the maid isn’t here yet and there is nothing to heat up, I would just make an order via Jumia Food. What do you want to have This morning?” Shawn asked.“Spaghetti and fried plantain won’t be bad” I replied.Shawn takes his iPhone which was sitting on the glass table and typed away, or sorry.. He made his order.“What are you taking?” I asked“Am going for some local stuff this morning, a good combo of Poundo Potato and Egusi soup” he said.“Isn’t that too early?” I asked, giving him a disapproving look with my lips shifted to one side.“Haven’t you heard?” He asked“Heard what?” I asked, confused.“In the Morning eat like a KingAfternoon like a ….

~”Breath in, breath out” is what I tell myself when it becomes too much~-Tolu OniI walk towards Shawn and noticed Eric’s shocked expression that he was trying really hard to conceal.Shawn probably heard my footsteps as he looked towards my direction and said“Oh, here she is”I walked towards him with a smile and took his hands.I noticed they were more than 2 guards here, so I whispered to Shawn“I thought you said just 2 guards”“True, the remaining 5 are my guards. They are more but these are my most trusted guards” Shawn saidAnd with a louder and clearer voice he said,“Selena, Meet Amin, Eric, Femi, Opia and James. They are my most trusted guards, each of them playing very significant roles in keeping me safe” Shawn said with an air of conten

~What did I tell you about talking to strangers?~-Anonymous ESelena’s POVThe past two weeks has gone pretty swiftly.. My life, moving like a train taking unexpected turns.I am still staying with Shawn and my supposed biological ‘Dad’ hasn’t given me a call and I’m beginning to question if all this is really true.I haven’t gotten any attempted attack, or any ‘DANGER’ vibe.Life has been moving pretty normal as it used to. Except, I have no body to call ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’ anymore. I don’t have any actual person to Call a ‘brother’ or a ‘Sister’ and oh! I now go to school in cool Cars. I also have guards now and guess what..? They added 2 extra guards to the list.The perks of being an arm lord daughter, no ?The other guards except Luther, just blend in the school crowd with micro-chips for communication. Wait!!...

~I’m indeed Aurora but my prince charming ain’t after a kiss~-Luna SvyatoyvichSelena’s POV“Whoa! All this problem Because of whoever Leo is?” I asked totally taken aback by the story.I did not let him answer as I blasted him with another question.“Why did you not explain to them, tell them you were not the killer?” I asked.“They wouldn’t listen to me, all evidence was pointed at me and that was all they needed” my father answered.“You would have tried reaching out to them to tell them the truth” I reasoned“ I tried but they did not believe me and claimed I was making up stories” he explained“Why didn’t you force, threaten or blackmail Leo into speaking the truth”“Oh dear, I tried. The one time I attempted that, he almost used it as an escape from my gr

~I don’t understand why I am unable to hate you~-Luna SvyatoyvichSELENA’S POV“Boss Svyatoyvich is home now and would love to see you” Luther informed.“Okay… Lead me to him” I saidSo, Eric was the gang leader of The Infernos?Through out the time we dated, he never disclosed that fact apart from he was in a gang and I shouldn’t ask questions about the gang.Eric was more of an insanely cute, light skinned with hazel eyes, Computer geek kind of guy. With a nice body build.He also has an innocent look and can also pull off a good poker face when needed. If he hadn’t told me he was in a gang and if I hadn’t seen him take down a guy, I wouldn’t have believed him.I remember the first time I saw him beat up a guy.I wa
