She was sitting with her one out of her numerous rich friends. They were drinking and having a conversation when Fabian's scream interrupted them.

He had told his village council about his daughter's upcoming marriage and was disappointed to hear about their breakup. How was he going to break this disheartening news to them now?

Like how the fuck am I going to survive in this place?She wasn't putting on a sweater or an hoodie so the cold was too much. It was like she was dumped into a freezer.

Amended Hearts 30- His pride.
England (Cookie)Cookie also wondered how Martina managed to make her angry and happy at the same time. It was bizzarre that a person could make her feel both emotions at the same time."My dad's from Nigeria but my mom's from England," Martina smiled, seeing the expression of shock on Cookie's face "I've lived here all my life.
