Now, Hannah and Garin's beautiful story comes to an end as God's mercy serves as the deciding factor that ends their hard life.
THAT SAME NIGHT... ...Josh got into his car and drove out of the building parking lot. Just as he left, Jennifer was already behind him and was looking to follow him to where he was going.She hailed a taxi and after it stopped, she quickly got in.“Follow that car,” She said to the driver and pointed at Josh’s car.The taxi driver started moving and followed Josh’s car. In the taxi, Jennifer began to redo her hair and makeup so she wouldn’t look like she had just left the office without going home to change first. She took her brush and makeup kit out of her purse and applied them.She wasn’t exactly sure what she was going to do when she got there but she knew she’d know when the time came. Her devious mind was sure to come up with something soon.While Josh drove, he called Isabelle so he could reassure her that he was already on his way so she wouldn’t be too upset with him. He dialled her number and put the phone on loudspeaker.“Hey babe, I’m so sorry for making you wait but
“So, I guess you’ll be heading home now since your date didn’t show?” Isabelle asked meanly, trying to annoy her.“Yes, I guess so,” Jennifer replied with a fake smile.Josh was feeling really tense because he knew the both of them didn’t really like each other. Well, he was sure that Isabelle didn’t like Jennifer but he wasn’t sure exactly how Jennifer felt about Isabelle. Suddenly, he felt this really strong urge to urinate and although he didn’t want to leave the two women alone, he couldn’t hold it in because he felt like his bladder was about to explode.“Honey, will you please excuse me, I gotta use the bathroom really quickly,” Josh said as he got up.Isabelle became angry with him because she thought he was trying to get himself out of this situation by running away from it and what made it even worse was what Jennifer said next.“I’ll wait here until you get back. There’s something I forgot to tell you when we were at the office,” She said.“Okay,” Josh could barely answer be
865 A.D...Tomorrow was the anniversary of the day Hannah and Garin arrived in Amania and he had a special surprise planned for Hannah. He decided to keep her in the dark for the entire day so he could get everything he needed in place for tonight.Garin was supposed to go to work today but he decided not to so he could plan his surprise instead. If everything was to go smoothly, he would need some help so he asked a few of his friends to help him out and their most important job was to make Hannah think that Garin was going to be at work so she wouldn’t suspect that he was planning anything.They arrived at his house in the morning to “get him” so they could “get to work” on some new projects. Hannah was all dressed and ready to head out to her school for the day but seeing the two men at their home so early in the morning aroused her suspicion.“Fara, Abu, what brings the two of you here this early in the morning?” Hannah asked after she saw them in the living room speaking to Ga
Everyone in Amania was now inside the hurricane shelter and were all finding a little corner to tuck themselves in while they waited for the storm to pass. Hannah was the only one still on her feet because Garin wasn’t there yet and she worried.“Hannah, relax. I’m sure Garin will be fine. He’s a strong man, I believe he will make it out there,” Nina, Abu’s wife said consolingly.“I know he’s strong but do you not hear the wind outside? Even parts of this shelter have broken apart since the storm started and it’s only going to get worse. He’s in trouble, I feel it,” Hannah lamented with a hand on her chest.She could hear the boom of thunder and feel the intensity of the rain and all she could picture in her head was Garin laying in a ditch somewhere, drowning, screaming her name, hoping she’ll come and help save him. The smell of the rain encased her senses and reminded her of the nights they spent in the unforgiving ocean. She remembered all the things they had suffered and all time
Like the day couldn’t exist without the night, like light couldn’t exist without darkness, as Yin relies on Yang, and like the moon pulled the tides, Hannah and Garin were opposites that couldn’t exist without the other. Their existence was completely dependent on each other and if one of them were to die, the other would find life meaningless and not worth living.Garin was in trouble and he needed to be saved because if he died in this storm and left Hannah all alone, she would slip into depression and would eventually take her own life just to be with him in Harlem.“Garin,” Hannah called out to him, barely able to hear the sound of her own voice because of how loud everything else was.“Garin,” Hannah searched, barely able to stay on her feet because of how powerful the winds were.She moved closer and closer to where Garin was but, she couldn’t see him yet. Just at the moment when it seemed like she was going to finally run into him, she went in a different direction, unaware tha
A few days passed and the day of Clinton Corp’s fundraiser finally arrived. The event was scheduled to start by four in the afternoon and run through till it was over, whatever time that may be. Isabelle was really looking forward to going for mainly two reasons; she was excited to finally get back to a work setting and slowly get back into shape and catch up on everything she had missed out on since she was gone AND she wanted to try again to create a bond with Josh’s father and maybe even his sister Janet.A few things had happened in the past days and they included Mrs Rita returning back home to Iowa. She really didn’t want to leave yet but she had duties she needed to attend to back home so she had no choice but to leave. She left happy though, because she knew her daughter was in good hands with Josh and was also in a good place in her life where she didn’t need someone to constantly worry about her.Gwen had moved out of Isabelle’s place and gone back to her matrimonial home. S
After they got to the venue of the fundraiser, Josh parked the car and was getting ready to get out. He took off his seatbelt and just as he was about to open the door, Isabelle held him back by the shoulders."Wait up," She said softly."Wait up from what?" Josh asked.She pulled him over to her and wrapped her hands around his face. She pulled him in and claimed his lips in a long and possessive kiss, almost like a branding of ownership or a reminder that he was hers and no one else's. She kissed him deeply but softly, using her tongue to break the barrier of his lips and into his mouth. After she had had enough, she slowly pulled away and licked his lips one last time which left him dizzy and aroused."Now, we can go," She said mysteriously and got out of the car from her side.Josh still hadn't composed himself because that kiss had messed up his head. He shook himself back to reality and went outside the car. Isabelle was already walking into the event and he caught up to her an
Mr and Mrs Clinton were done with their speech and stepped off the stage so the fundraiser could begin. The MC took to the stage once more and asked the valets to start bringing in the items one after the other so they could start the auction. Mrs Helena sat back down on her seat and Janet leaned over to speak to her. “That was such a moving speech, mom. Absolutely beautiful,” Janet told her mother. “Don’t patronize me, Janet. You already knew the speech by heart so would you stop trying to suck up to me?” Her mother whispered to her. Janet moved away because once again her mother only saw her as scheming and overly ambitious. She didn’t understand why her parents treated her the way they did despite all she had done and was still doing for the company. She was frustrated but she had too much perseverance to stop now. She would take all the abuse and all the maltreatment but in the end, she would get her parent’s trust and confidence. “Where’s your brother?” Helena asked Janet.
