A Connection

“If I should pin you down to that bed, you’d not find the leg with which to return home”. Kelvin said to her with a smug look as he walked out of the room. “And who said I’d want to walk after that?” Aria said with a little bit of excitement before she followed him. They got to Kelvin’s car in the parking lot. Aria noticed two men both dressed in black. She frowned. They do not look like any of her father’s guards. Or did he hire someone else to come find her? “Rex, please step on the gas immediately you start that car. Do not waste any time”. Aria said. She would not want them to come take her. The thought of being dragged to a house she was already going to was suffocating to her. Kelvin noticed why she told him that when he saw the two men. He realised that Aria’s father must be worried for her. Despite all the allegations against him, he still wants to find his daughter. Kelvin then wondered if Aria will be arrested once she is found. Because it is now out that she was the one

Killed Him

When Tragedy Strikes /Lucky Okezi

By the time Fabian got to the mansion, Kelvin and Clautra were done talking. But then, he did not bother the young man who has brought his daughter home. The first thing he wanted to do was see Aria, so he headed to her room. But Clautra stopped him.“Mr. Hart, I think it will be better you have a chat with the gentleman that brought Miss Hart home first before you see her. You know how she is”. Clautra said. He sighed. It was this bad, he could not get close with his own daughter. “Until when will she remain this way? Will Jasmine ever forgive me for this?” Fabian said. It was not necessarily a question for Clautra to answer to. And she knew better to keep shut at this point. Fabian went back down stairs to the foyer where he met Kelvin. At first he looked at Kelvin with hostility. Kelvin stood up to pay respect to Fabian since he was in his house. Fabian just looked at him despitefully. “Who are you to my daughter? Did you force her away from home?” Fabian asked neglecting the

FLASHBACK“Can you do the job? Make it look like it is real?” Fabian asked. He was talking to a blonde haired guy. “I’ll arrange for it. I know someone who is perfect for this job Sir”. The blonde haired guy said. Fabian smirked. Then he told him that was all he wanted to hear. Then he turned to his secretary who was standing beside him. “Give him the details and pay him the dvance”. Fabian said and walked out of the apartment. They had gone to see the young man in his apartment. The secretary managed the transaction with the blonde guy telling him the venue as well as giving him a picture. It was a photo of Jasmine. She looked calm in the picture with her dark brown hair tied in a bun. “Is this her?” The blonde haired guy asked the secretary, but got no response. He just pockets the picture and said the job will be done. “Just make sure it looks real”. The secretary said to remind the blonde haired guy. He assured the secretary everything would be done perfectly well and that t

……………..Jack left the bar after confirming that his job was set for Thursday. He only had two days left before it’s Thursday. So he had all the time in the world to find out about the client and of course the object of his mission, Jasmine Hart. He did make his research and wondered why Jasmine’s husband would want to hurt his wife. But then, he could worry less about that. All he wanted was his money. And so, on Thursday night, Jack set out to the venue where the party was being held. He could not get in and was asked to wait outside while Rogers finds a way to get in. But Rogers was also restricted. Fabian’s secretary had instructed them to remain outside. He said he would signal them when the time was right. It didn’t take long after this incident, Fabian arrived with his wife Jasmine in hand. The secretary, Mr. Renold led them inside the hall where the company's anniversary was being celebrated. Jasmine thought she and Fabian looked like a perfect couple as they greeted dign

A Stranger To Her

When Tragedy Strikes /Lucky Okezi

…………………….The following morning, Jasmine woke up to see herself in an unfamiliar room. She wondered how she got there. Then she heard the sound of water. It was probably someone bathing. She placed her hands on her head in a bid to combat the headache that was threatening to pull out her skull from her scalp. Then she stood up from the bed wanting to leave the place. It had not occurred to her that she was barely clothed with just lingerie, one she was not wearing. But then Jack came out of the bathroom and he was a stranger to her. She asked him what he was doing in the same room with her and who exactly he was. What happened to her the previous night was yet to come to her. Jack asked her if she did not remember the night they shared. Jasmine was confused for a while. She had no memory of him, not to talk of sharing a night with him. Then she remembered the last place she was before she could no longer remember anything. It was at the rooftop of the building where they celebrated

What A Pity

When Tragedy Strikes /Lucky Okezi

Aria watched as her grandmother whom she has liked no lesser than her father, stood there quarreling her father. She hated it, the noise they were making. She could never get used to it. For as far as she can remember, Her father and his mother don’t get along. She rolled her eyes and left the foyer, but soon returned with a bag in hand. “I’ll go with her,” Aria said as she nudged for Theresa to come help her with her bag. “Esa,” she muttered. Theresa smiled and walked towards Aria. She helped the bag out of her hand and they both walked out of the house. Mrs. Hart eyed Fabian disapprovingly, shook her head and walked away. Meanwhile, Fabian clutched his hands allowing them to hug his sides. He gritted his teeth as there was nothing else he could do. It was Aria herself who has chosen to go with his mother. He did not want his mother to take her. He was tired of her controlling attitude. “You always let your mother win,”. Katherine said while walking down the stairs. She

Go Tell Your Mama That

When Tragedy Strikes /Lucky Okezi

Fabian shook his head as if in regret. Then he snatched his bag from Katherine’s hold and walked towards the door. But Katherine hurried her feet towards the door and stood in front of him. “Wake up Fabian! Someone is trying to raise a feud between us so that they can get what they want. Maybe not Aria as I had suspected, but it could be just anyone”. Katherine said while looking at Fabian pleadingly. Her eyes were moist and ready to let down the tears. If she was not a good actress, then she would not have made it this far with Fabian. “And who would want to do that?” Fabian asked with one eyebrow raised. “I don’t know! Aren’t supposed to work together in understanding for us to be able to find that out?” Katherine said suggestively. Fabian nods his head in agreement. He dropped his bag and then walked down to the bed. He laid there as he watched the ceiling. Katherine approached her husband, she lied right next to him, then she placed the palm of her hand on his chest. She

It Is Time You Grow Up As Well

“It’s good to have you around Aria. I must say I have come to miss you a lot after the last misunderstanding we had. I never expected you would talk to me back at your place,” Theresa said. She was standing by the door of Aria’s room. Although she had helped Aria carry her bag to the car before they left the mansion to the family house, she and Aria were yet to speak to each other. The only time Aria spoke with her was when she asked her to help carry her bag. “Get out! I do not wish to be disturbed right now,” Aria said. She did not even bother to look Theresa’s way. “Come on Aria! Why are you holding grudges against me just because I told you that you were keeping low lives as friends and that your boyfriend Eran was way too below your class,” Theresa questioned. She did not look like she was ready to leave Aria alone. Aria stood up from the bed on which she was lying. She walked towards the door and pushed Theresa out. Then she shut it. She went back to the bed but not without

The Rest Will Fall In Place

When Tragedy Strikes /Lucky Okezi

Kelvin knew that it was either he was in danger, or it was just some persons trying to get a record of his activities, either way, he hates being trailed. He parked his car in the underground parking lot. He remained inside for a while contemplating what next to do. Should he step out of his car and get attacked, or should he be the first to attack? Just then, he head a tap on his window. He looked up to see a man dressed in black. It seems his trailer has decided to come meet him in person. Kelvin made a sign of the cross with his hand before opening the door. He stepped out to meet the stranger. “What’s….” before he could complete his sentence, he got knocked out. The man who knocked down Kelvin got into Kelvin’s car that was still opened, while another man appeared from around the corner and stood beside him. “What are you doing?” the man who just showed up asked. “Searching for anything that can be of use,” he replied. “The boss only instructed us to bring him for interrogati
