Mia didn't know whether to be angry or pleased that she confessed things to her. But what was this condition she was giving her? She could never give up on Ivan, no matter who he picked, but if she agreed to China's condition then she would be bounded by her word and forced to stay away truly.A question popped into her mind and she did not hesitate to ask it."What if he doesn't pick either of us?" "And what if he picks us both?" China countered her question with hers. Mia felt surprised. "What do you even mean by that?" She didn't know how to react to China's words."Don't get me wrong here." China sighed. "I just want you to promise me that you will not get mad if he chooses me or another random girl, maybe Tara for example, and neither will I." Mia choked on her words, she knew there was a very big chance of Ivan choosing another girl over her after everything she had done to him but she also knew that China was right.If Ivan did wake up and ended up not choosing either of th
Shock was that feeling of pause while the brain made a new connection, one that brought high emotion of either joy or sorrow. It was just like finding yourself unexpectedly on a platform, a train approaching, realizing that that time the destination was not a choice.China's brain stuttered for a moment and her eyes took in more light than she expected, every part of her went on pause while her thoughts slowly caught up. Mr Andrews saw the shock register on his daughter's face before she could hide it. A small smile played on his lips.That was a moment where China's face washed blank with confusion, like her brain cogs could not turn fast enough to take in the information from her wide eyes. Every muscle of her body just froze."Are you not happy to see your dear daddy?" Mr Andrews asked.Mrs Shay sprung to her feet to meet Mr Andrews where he was standing and she was wearing one of her brightest and prettiest smiles."Good day to you sir, China didn't tell me her father would be com
Minutes before officer Redd got a call.The evening sky was calm and settled, even though it was empty of the moon that evening, the stars that were twinkling in the sky still made it look beautiful.Alfred and Tara were standing outside the police station next to each other. So many times as they tried to hail a taxi but failed, Alfred would want to try to bring up the conversation of her returning to the Graham's residence and how unsafe it was but he would also swallow his words back just like a pill because he knew she would not give in to his words."Mr Alfred," Tara called out to him.He turned around and fixed his gaze on her. "Yes Miss Tara?" "I know you are very worried about me but I want to assure you that I am very skilled in not getting caught and I will be sure to make use of that skill to save myself." She assured him with a smile on her face.Alfred couldn't help but to smile. "I guess master... I guess Ivan and I will have to hold you to your words." She nodded silen
"Time of death, ten thirty post midnight, name of patient, Elvis Kennedy, cause of death, suicide by slitting his own wrist..."Mr Elvis' personal nurse recited his death statement out loud as tears welled up in her eyes. She would pause to blink back her tears and take a moment to breathe then continue."No, no, no!!!" Bianca exclaimed as she collapsed to the ground with her hands on her hair, almost pulling them out of their roots.His twelve year old son just stared firstly at his mother who was having a mental breakdown then at the lifeless pale looking body that laid on the bed that supposedly belonged to his father.What was going on? He asked himself, is that my daddy? Why is mom crying?Bianca was worried sick...Just a few days back, she was watching the news when she happened to come across the news channel. She decided to listen to what was new and the happenings in the city when she saw the news of a young handsome boy that was hit and the culprit being her husband.She d
The Graham's residence was silent..."How long has that girl been gone?" Mr Graham asked."She has been gone all evening! Don't you find this very very suspicious? She didn't call Charlie or anything and she is not back yet, do you think she will actually come back if it is not that she heard something?" Mrs Graham threw the question to the table."Can we please not make any assumptions yet?" Charlie said.She rose to her feet while staring at Charlie. "Just because you love her doesn't mean that she feels the same way too. Didn't you say it yourself that she likes that useless good for nothing kid? Do you really think she would not take advantage of you to prove herself and her love for that kid?" Mrs Graham's voice was starting to rise in anger. She was a woman who always liked things to go smoothly for her and sometimes... Most times, Charlie messed things up for her because of the little part in his heart that was good. Charlie opened his mouth to speak but found no words to co
The sound of the water splashing against the floor and wall suddenly came to a halt and so did Tara's footsteps. She stood still like a statue, questions began floating around in her mind and she felt like her senses were coming back.Had she not come too far to lose it all? She gave up on her first love, her happiness, the guy that brought a smile to her face, she gave up on Ivan.All for what? To get physically and sexually abused by that spoiled brat, Charlie? No, if you put it down like that then it made her feel like a fool. So she asked herself again.Why did you give up on the man that even just a glimpse of him forced your lips into a smile? That was when she finally found the right answer.It was all for money. The Graham's were on the top ten list of wealthy families in England and a greedy young woman like her would have loved to be married to the Wayne family that had been sitting on number one in not only England but in most other countries of the world and possibly, th
The room was empty aside from China's thoughts that lingered around in the room. Out of boredom, she made a decision to call Mia, her new best friend to help keep her company over the phone.China's roommate walked in and called out to her, "China, hey." "Yeah?" China responded."You have a visitor." Her roommate said."Oh Okay. I'll call you back Mia." China said before hanging up.She turned to face her roommate, "who is it?" China asked."I think it's best if you find out for yourself." She looked at her roommate confusedly, what was that look in her eyes and that tone in her voice? She turned towards the entrance of her bedroom to step out and receive the visitor when the door pushed open, making her take a few steps backwards.Her eyes widened as she stared at the August visitor that was standing right in front of her at the entrance of the room."Long time no see, my little Angel." Mr Andrews said with a slightly noticeable smile on his face.China felt like her feet were glu
Anxiety and fear poured down her back like a pail of water. It was a man's voice so it definitely could not be China. What should she do?She thought to herself; should I call nine one one just in case?She then decided to dial the number and keep her finger on the call button before opening the door.After a few calming breaths, she placed her hand on the door knob and twisted it open. Slowly and carefully. She decided to open it halfway and take a peak.As she tilted her head to the side, so did the young man that was standing at the entrance. "Hello." He said as he beamed at her, revealing his perfect set of teeth.She stared at the strange yet somehow familiar man that was standing at her door step through squinted eyes. She asked herself these questions; who is this man and why is he strangely familiar?Not just one feature made him so handsome, the unique colors of his eyes often made people speak of the color of eyes.That was not the first time Mia had seen those unique sets
