11— Attempted suicide.
Delta state, Nigeria
Cookie continued to hide in Louisa's house. She was lucky enough that Louisa's parents were away and the men who constantly came in search of her couldn't find her.
Louisa treated her like a sister. She had with her the little money her parents gave her before they travelled and she didn't mind spending it on her best friend. The only thing that bothered her a few times was long were they going to continue this? How long was Cookie going to keep hiding? Louisa kept asking herself but got no answer. She took some money and decided to go to the market and buy some groceries.

She didn't know how she got there but she was sure the person who had carried her there was nice because they covered her with a thick blanket.Looking around, she saw that she was in a small room with cream walls and titled floor. There was a brown wardrobe at one end, a chair and a table that looked like it was used for study at the corner of the room. There was also a flat screen television pinned to the wall, a white bulb stood in the middle of the ceiling shinning brightly almost blinding her vision at first when she looked at it. She squinted her eyes then heard the room door open

Amended Hearts 16— The Den.
Lagos, Nigeria (Cookie) The exams were tough. So many students were caught trying to do malpractice and this sent Cookie the chills. Her eyes were hurting so much she could not even look at the screen of the computers at the examination hall. It became worse when she began to have throbbing pains on her head. She was definitely feeling sick. After the exams, students littered around, buying snacks and discussing in groups. Cookie waited for Prince Nonso to pick her up. While she did so, she paced around for a while, feeling uncomfortable. She hugged herself and tried to remain calm. Nonso arrived with his car. He honked his car till he got Cookie's attention, making her rush towards the car. Even if he had taken long to come, she was happy he had finally. She opened the door and hoped inside, the chilly air condition hitting her immediately she did."Good evening, my prince." Cookie greeted. "Good evening, my Cookie."

Lagos, Nigeria (Cookie) Cookie's scream of help vibrated through the walls as the guards carried her. She tried to break free from their hold, shaking, kicking and crying. But it was of no use. She felt disappointed and sad that Nonso, Gloria and Fabian were not around to help her out now that she wanted them to. Now that she thought of it, it was like people tend to hurt her whenever she was getting to enjoy her life and forgetting her past. When she'd come to Lagos to meet Fabby's fiancee, she'd never envisioned her to be a threat to her life or to be hot tempered, rude and unfriendly towards her. The confusing thing was that she had never done anything to offend Amanda that will spike any hatred she had for her now. If she had even done a thing to her, why not just tell her so she'd make amends instead of wanting to send her to that dangerous den? Only the thought of it made her to shiver and she was thinking that she'd shiver to death if not rescued on time. The guards dragged

Lagos, Nigeria (Cookie) Still a little bit shocked by the previous incident, Cookie went to her room's ensuite. She watched her face with the cool water running from the tap. She got a little bit lost looking at her reflection on the mirror. Cookie had big eyes, plump lips and a slightly pointed nose. She loved how dark and long her eyelashes were and how it made her eyes attractive.Cookie blinked her eyes severally as she wiped her face dry with her towel before she walked to the kitchen. There, she found Fabian cooking. She was surprised because it was either the maids in the house or Gloria that does most of the cooking. Speaking of Gloria, she had some work to do so she wasn't around. Cookie stood by the door, resting her back on the wall as she became engrossed with watching Fabian slicing the yam. Mr. Chef did not even notice someone staring at him. "Woah," Cookie finally exclaimed and that caught his attention. Fabian's eyes widened out of shock and he gave her a weak smile

Lagos, Nigeria (Cookie) "Fabian! Fabian!" Amanda's scream vibrated through the walls of the house. Cookie could hear the voice getting closer and coming towards the living room, where she was busy playing video game. Fabian was with her but he was typing away on his phone, ignoring the fact that Amanda was shouting his name. Amanda entered the living room. She walked past Cookie and towards Fabian but not without hissing and snapping her eyes at her.Cookie just sighed and continued with playing her video game. "Fabian, I want to ask you something and I demand for your attention," Amanda said rudely. Cookie paused her game because it was hard for her to focus on it. The noise Amanda was making was distracting and she also wanted to watch the little drama that was about to take place. She just couldn't mind her business even she wanted to. Fabian took a quick glance at his girlfriend and then back to his phone like he wasn't the one being spoken to. "Fabby, I'm I not talking to
