CHAPTER 41

THIRD PERSON POVShe didn't know what to do. It was just afternoon and she was in the kitchen. It wasn't even in her bedroom where she could easily hide the body and clean up the blood then stuff the soiled clothes in her closet. The fact that she had stabbed her in the neck wasn't good at all because the blood was going everywhere and she was panicking. What should she do before someone comes downstairs? Meanwhile, Darren rushed up the stairs, his heart beating loudly in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen, his mouth couldn't talk about it but he had to say something. He couldn't just let her go free like that. She had killed someone because her plan was about to be exposed. He'd found it suspicious too when the maid came and told Rowena about the tea cause knew that Eli didn't drink tea. When he got to the door, he knocked twice before it was opened. “Darren, are you okay?” He didn't answer so Rowena had to call for Eli. “Eli, I think something is wrong wit

CHAPTER 42

GAIAJavon was already at the restaurant when I got there. He was sitting at the far end corner of the room with a glass of water in his hand while he stared out of the window. He looked lost in thought and I thought he'd even notice my presence as I stood at the door but he didn't. What was he thinking about? He looked at me then, giving me a small smile as I started to approach him. This reminded me of the rare occasions that he took me out on dates. Everything was same, asides the smile. “Hey.”He greeted as I sat. I nodded and dropped my bag in the floor beside me..“Hey.”The waiter came immediately as I sat. He took Javon's order first and then turned to me. “Water is just fine. The sauce in the spaghetti, does it have an atom of fish in it? Or any seafood infact?”The waiter nodded.“There's a side of prawns that served with it.”“He's allergic to seafood.”The waiter's eyes widened. “My apologies for not asking about your allergies. I'll tell the chef to take note of th

MY 43

JAVONThe food tasted differently in my mouth but I didn't really pay attention to it because of the conversation I was having right now. Never in my life, did I think that Gaia would be having this conversation. I’d always thought that I'd have to do more to get her to even speak to me again, not to even talk of asking me to come see our son.My chest got tighter as I looked at her but for some reason, I didn't pay attention to it. Was it just me or was it getting chilly here? I couldn’t feel my lips anymore but I didn't want to say anything so I wouldn't interrupt her. “Javon, drop the fork now.”I did as she said and I could see the look of worry on her face and wondered what was going on but my chest was too deprived of air to even say too much but I managed to say.“What's going on?”She didn’t answer me as she brought out her phone from her bag and began dialing on it.I could feel the blood rushing in my head and my eyes were beginning to close. I was going to ask her what

CHAPTER 44

GAIAI was going to throw hands. I swear. Because who the hell did this woman think she was pushing me? When I saw the girl in the vomit dress and he called the second woman mum, I put two and two together, I figured this was the woman who he was being asked to marry. I didn't have the time to stand around and listen to their bullshit. So I left. I could see the way she was looking at me and I didn't have time for their bullshit. As I came out of the elevator, my phone rang.“What’s going on? Why're you in the hospital?” It was Bella.“Its a long story and you wouldn't believe it if I told you.”“What happened?”As I told her what happened, I walked to my car and as I got to the parking lot, she was there. “Can I call you back? I need to attend to something…someone.”I could hear Bella still talking on the phone but I didn't pay attention to her as I ended the call. What in the world was she doing here? As I approached her, she noticed me and moved off the hood of the car. “

CHAPTER 45

EVELYN Now that Jacob was out of the picture, I had to start my own career. I paid for the building a couple of days before and I signed the papers as well. Now, all that was left was to buy the things left for the office.”You’ll be spending a lot of money. You know that right?” Bella stated..“Of course, I know. It's all for a good cause though. So I don't mind.”Spending money was never an issue for me. Maybe it was because I grew up in money but it shaped my mindset into not caring about how much I spend as long as I get what I want. “I just want the office to be set up as soon as possible. I have clients breathing down my neck and not enough of me to go round.”With the recent drama involving Javon and everything, it gave me more publicity. Which meant, new clients. A lot of new clients. Bella and I spent basically the whole day moving in and out of shops alongside the construction company representative who went with us. “Speaking of moving out, I've been thinking, Bella.

CHAPTER 46

GAIA“I'm so sorry about that. I had no idea she was in my room. Do you need something?”I nodded before remembering that he couldn't see me. “Yes, I do. But before that, are you out of the hospital?”I heard him sigh. “Yes, yes I am. I'm fine now. The doctors say everything is fine now. I never got to thank you again for helping me out that day. I really don't know what I would have done without you. You saved my life, so thank you.”I was trying not to smile. I really didn't want to..“You’re welcome. I couldn't stand there and watch you die, could I? Anyways, the reason I called was to tell you that you could come over this weekend.”“Oh, that. Sure, do you have a time in mind?”“No, anytime you're free is fine.”As I placed the phone back on my lap, Bella was already out of her seat and almost staring down my throat for answers. “What did he say?”I turned to her. “What did you expect him to say? He said he'll be there.”She scoffed. ”What’s with the whole performance he's pu

CHAPTER 47

GAIAThe employment process went by in a breeze because I had help with it. The construction company was also very fast with what they were doing so in about two weeks, we were already to start business. Bella suggested that we do a grand opening and I didn't really see the point since the last thing I wanted to be doing was being around a bunch of socialites that I didn't like but then again when I thought about it, it would be hols for.my parents since they were starting their business all over again. Thankfully, she was there to help me set things up because I had little to no knowledge about setting things up for a party. She wanted it to be this weekend but that was the time I wanted Javon to come see Juan. “Can’t we move it to some other day?”She shook her head. “No, we can not. It's that day or nothing.”Or maybe I should just tell Javon to come at another time. But then again, he wasn't coming to see me. He was coming to see Juan and Juan wouldn't understand that I made

CHAPTER 48

GAIAI was nervous. So nervous that my heart was beating fast as Bella helped me put my hair in a very tight ponytail. “You’re squeezing my brain.”“Sorry.” She sighed “That’s the first word you've said within the hour. Are you sure you're fine? Do you feel sick?”I turned around to look at her. “I don't know. This may not be the first party I'm attending but it's the first one I'm hosting. Which means I have to be everywhere and say hi to everyone and my speech…oh gosh, my speech.”I was losing my breath and losing my mind. “Relax. I'm going to be there with you at every step of the way. You just have to go around saying hi to people, say your speech and then, leave them to enjoy the party. How hard could it be?”Sure enough, it didn't sound very hard but that was because it wasn't Bella that was going to do it. What if I stutter? What if I trip over my own two feet? What if I talk and spit flies out of my mouth and lands on my guest's face? “I can hear you imagining all the worl

CHAPTER 49

GAIAI walked up to him at the door, taking in his appearance. He had on a three piece dark blue suit, with some strands of hair falling over his face and the heel of his shoes clicking against the tile. I had noticed that I wasn't the only one affected by his presence. The guests around had stopped and turned around to look at him, obviously wondering what he came to do here. “Is this the party?”Was he back to being an asshole?“Truth is the invitations were sent out a bit too early but it's all good. We can start the party early.”He scoffed and put his hands in his pockets, looking around the house like it irritated him.“So this is your house.”“Is there something wrong with it?”My eyes fell to the door, thinking it was Javon who was walking in. It wasnt. “Is there? I was just stating a fact. Is he always behind you?” He asked, pointing at Evan. I didn't even know Evan was behind me. “It’s his job, isn't it?”I can't deal with this right now. “The maids will attend to you

CHAPTER 50

GAIABella took responsibility for Juan while I rendezvoused with the guests. I moved from table to table, talking about how their hair looked different and how their dresses looked like something right out of my dreams. That was one of the lines I'd learnt from my mother. After a while, I didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore. It felt more natural, relating and speaking with them. But as much as I was swamped up in the party, I kept looking around, hoping to see a particular somebody. But someone else kept catching my eyes. “Where the hell is he?” I whispered. And why the hell were my eyes always catching Mr Miller’s?“Evan, have you tried his number again?” He nodded. “I have. It was ringing before but now, it's going right to voicemail.”Great. Just great. “Is everything fine?” Bella joined us. “No, it's not. I'm about to disappoint my son again and I can't do anything about it.”The MC tapped on the mic and cleared his throat. “Please gather round. The ceremony is about to
