“You know him?!” Adil asked turning to look at me, I nodded slowly my gaze still fixed on Enzo as he approached us.“Kind of,” I added in a whisper, immediately Enzo got to where we were his smile deepened as he stared at me.“Meant to be, is it not?!” He muttered his gaze fixed on me, as we stared at each other, Adil cleared his throat in an attempt to stop the intense staring, Enzo’s smile suddenly changed to a taunting one as he turned to look at Adil.“How does she look?! Does she look beautiful in the dress I chose for her?!” He asked, Adil’s eyes dimmed as he stared at him, I could feel anger oozing out of his members.“I know you to be emotionless about a lot of things, but leaving your wife to shop for her wedding dress alone?! That’s the peak!” He added, Adil’s nose flared and he suddenly step forward and closed the distance between them.“You have no right to speak to me like that! And stay the hell away from my wife,” Adil growled,“Ohh, you actually don’t feed me, so you
Adil.My grip on the steering tightened as I drove to the office.Never have I seen someone asides me stare at Tehilla so tenderly, it’s part of the reason I never hired a stay at home nanny for her and I took pain to bring her up myself, because I just felt like nobody would actually look after her the way I would.But with Janelle it was different, they might be strangers to each other but I just had a deep feeling of security, that my daughter was safe with her.The image of the both of them together earlier flashed through my eyes again, I felt bad for lying to her, but I still choose to take care of that in the future.My Phone began to ring, rudely intercepting my thoughts, I diverted my gaze to the phone holder in front of me, it was the only person I’ve had as a friend almost all my life, I gently swiped on the receiver and his voice came through.“Is this how we do it now?! You had a wedding and failed to invite me for it,” he said, I rolled my eyes to the back of my head as
Janelle.“Bella, I need you to look into this message that I got,” I muttered as forwarded the message and all of it details to her, she nodded slowly as her IPad beeped signalling that she had received the message.“I’m very aware that it would be a burner account, but there should be more, I need you to look into it very well, take your time please,” I said to her and she nodded slowly, I gently stood up from my seat walked up to the murderboard and pulled it out, I used a thumb pin to hold the printed copy of the message to the board, I turned to look at the rest of the team and I began my observation.We are four in number, including myself and It was our first team meeting after the whole drama that happened with my life, and if there’s no future cases of anymore drama, I’m back fully!.“They actually use market bombings to actually perpetrate bigger attrocities,” I muttered as I picked up my pencil, she nodded slowly staring at me with rapt attention, I pointed towards the board
I watched him as he gently bend to her level and picked her up, he swirled her around generating light giggles form her, and was that a smile I saw on his lips?! My God! I swallowed my spit hard as I stared at him, his Adam’s apple moved up and down in his throat as he chuckled lightly at whatever Tehilla was saying to him.I have never seen him smile so genuinely even on the media, and honestly I had no idea that he had the ability, the smile lifted his face and countenance so perfectly and I couldn’t help but swallow my spit harder again.“Her bags,” I heard her teacher behind me, I shook slowly as I turned to look at her with a wide smile, and took the bags from her, Adil slowly looked away from me and turned to look at me and her teacher.“Congratulations sir, you’re such a beautiful family,” she said to him and he acknowledged her with a small nod, I muttered a thank you to her as I began to take slow strides towards Adil and Tehilla.“Let’s go,” I muttered to him and we turned
Later that day ….I sniffled in deeply as i just let the tears flow from my eyes down to my cheeks, I felt my dad hands on my shoulder rubbing it comfortingly, but I just felt too distraught to be comforted.How can everything with my life go so wrong just within a very short period of time, I stared at my mother in the upgraded room that Adil had let them put her in, with all the tubes and pipes connected to her body and my heart broke.My mother cannot just go like this, I haven’t even had the opportunity to enjoy the mother and daughter relationship for so long.All through my childhood and even until late adulthood, my mother had always been so engrossed with work and had little or no time for me, I grew up tending towards only my dad until about some five years ago, i was just twenty then, right off teenage age, I couldn’t hold it in again and the most hurting part of it was that she didn’t even realize I felt neglected, only then did she actually slow down and began to try to f
Adil.Later that morning 9:00am …“You’re doing the most honestly!” I grumbled behind the steering of my car, my grip on the wheel tightening as I took the left and turned onto his street.He had just arrive town today and he insisted on me coming to pick him up at the airport.“You have a babe, you should just have called her,” I added in a murmur, passing him a side glance as I simultaneously tried to keep my eyes on the road.“After everything you’ve done to me, picking me up should be the least you can do for me,” he replied dramatically and I rolled my eyes.Eden was the perfect friend for me, we met while we were still in high school, he was the jovial one and I was the reserved one, we never spoke to each other because I considered him too noisy and careless and he considered me arrogant and too quiet for his liking.Until we got paired for our senior year project, we were three in the group, Myself, Eden and Laura.All three of us just got to find out that our perception of ea
Janelle.Meanwhile ….“I tried calling you yesterday, you weren’t answering, are you sure everything is okay?” Bella asked walking beside me as I walked into the office, I shook my head slowly as I held my bag up to my elbow, without breaking our strides we walked into my office, I slowly turned to look at her with a small exhale.“A little emergency came up yesterday, I’m sorry, what do you have for me,” I replied, I dropped my bags on the table and turned to look at her leaning onto the table and folding my hands across my chest.“As you asked I looked into the message you got,” She began as she flipped her iPad open and turned it to me, I gently took it from her and peered into it,“Apparently the message was sent from a location around here,” she muttered as her hands circled around a particular location on the map on the far left, I nodded slowly as I just listened to her speak, “The message seemed to have come without a number, whoever sent it must be very good at his job,” she
Janelle Later that day, At home …..6:00pm The doorbell rang loudly echoing throughout the house, I looked down at Tehilla who was sitting in between my legs on the floor as I assisted her with her assignment,“Dada,” she said looking up at me, I gently dropped her pencil on the floor, got up from the floor and headed towards the door.I pulled the door open and my heart unintentionally skipped a beat as soon as I saw who it was! Ma’am Becky.I cleared my throat immediately as I tried to adjust my dress, I pulled the door open wider for her and stepped away for her to come in.Her face held no expression, with her shoulders up high, she walked into the house with a confident stride.“Grandma!” Tehilla greeted as she stood up from where she was seated, ran towards her and wrapped her hands around her legs where her height stopped.I saw a look of disgust cross her face but it disappeared as soon as it came, she gently took her hands and pulled her away from her.“I can see you’re go
