Third person's POV,***Duke Walter's Mansion.The residents of the house carried on with those activities while acting as if nothing happened, but in reality, they missed their young miss so much.Some of the residents in the Duke Walters mansions are people who had known the young miss Akeerah since she was born.They were also people who watched her grow up and even though she was always rude to them, they couldn't help but feel a form of attachment towards her.Everyone in the mansion wished for her to return in one healthy piece, most especially Sia. Sia was the personal assistant of Akeerah since she was little, she was like the sister she never had.Akeerah was Sia's best friend even though she was rude to her at first, but she was only that way because she hadn't grown comfortable with her yet.However, when she did, she became so comfortable that they became friends.Sia was the only one who felt out of place among all the workers in the mansion. Her job had always been to lo
Third persons POV,"They finally got a lead on Keerah's kidnapping case, I think they are going to find her soon," Damien said to Sia after they sat on the bed.Damien didn't sound too thrilled by the news he was telling Sia, but he knew the news would lift up her mood because he knew just how much his girlfriend loved Keerah.The moment Sia got the news, her face that looked so down and colourless just a moment ago brightened up instantly. She felt a little bit if hope that her young miss was going to be perfectly fine.Sia was about to ask Damien about the lead they found, when Damien's phone started to vibrate in the pocket of his jean trouser, so he brought it out and received the phone."Mrs Walter," he said into the phone after checking who was calling."Come upstairs boy," Mrs Walter said, and that made Damien a little bit disappointed.Damien was used to teasing Mrs Walter by calling her by Mrs Walter instead of the mom he usually calls her and she would play along and laugh a
Third persons POV.Inside a dishevelled looking sitting room, where clothes had covered the top of the only sofa available in the small space, and also, different forms of empty cans laid scattered on the floor of the sitting room.A girl in a tight-fitting clothes laid in the midst of these mess.She didn't care about how the place looked, she hadn't cared about anything for the past few months.All she could do all day was wake up, get drunk, and go back to sleep. But a few days ago, she couldn't bear the smell of alcohol; her only solace.She had to experience the pain she had been trying so much to push out for weeks now. At first she could do that with the help of alcohol, but now that she could no longer withstand the smell of it, things had become even much more messier.The girl didn't know why she couldn't drink anymore, but she thought maybe she had abused it for too long and her body is now rejecting it completely.The smell of alcohol now makes her want to empty the whole
Eric's POV***Previously***When I entered the room I saw that she was lying on the bed with her feet brought up to her chest.So I went to sit beside her on the bed and asked her to get up a d take the honey tea.After taking it, she laid back on the bed and then I told her to put a pillow in between her legs and it might ease her pain.She did what I asked, and I assumed it was working because she then started a conversation."Where did you learn all this," she asked, and I felt a pang in my chest at the thought of the person who made me know all this."From Jade, she used to have intense cramps whenever she gets her period, so I might have picked up a few points from watching her for more than a year," I answered slowly while trying not to grit my teeth."How long did you guys dated for," she asked me."Less than two years, " I answered her with a hard face but she didn't see it because she wasn't staring at me."Why did you guys break up, Ms Maya told me she was a nice person," sh
Keerah's POV,"shit happens sometimes," Eric said, and I remained silent, thinking about what could have caused them to break up, even though I know he was probably head over heels for her when they dated because even now I feel he still loves her from the way he was talking about her."You still love her, don't you, that's the reason why you said you couldn't fall in love with me right"? I uttered in a soft voice, more in a statement like than a question, but Eric remained quiet.His silence held more answers than his words would ever tell, and that made me feel like shit.Even though I didn't want to admit to myself, a huge part of me was silently hoping that Eric would fall in love with me, but seeing how much he still loves his Ex, I don't think I stand a chance I'm just going to remain an island fling to him.The thought that I was just someone Eric used as an island fling to get over his Ex, made me feel a sort of tightness in my chest, a feeling I only get after having a nightm
Keerah's POVThe drive from Eric's house to where we were going was a short and silent one which was not my ideal expectation of what would happen as we went out to have fun.Eric parked his car in the parking lot of a place that had different forms of stuff, which made the place looked like a huge playground.Nobody was within sight just me and Eric and he was about to get out of the car when I quickly reached out my hands and grabbed his stopping him midway to opening the car door.He stared at our hands and then raised his head to slowly stare at me when I called his name slowly."Eric," I said slowly, the way I called his name, making it sound like it was holding thousands of messages within it.The look in my eyes saying thousands of words that I couldn't let past my mouth."I...," I said then paused and took a deep breath before deciding to continue..."I...," I started to say again, deciding to confess how I truly feel about him, but then the words didn't leave my mouth, it's l
Third person's POV.Jade got out of the bathroom after taking a quick shower, she entered her room and ransacked through her wardrobe to find something to wear.Most of her clothes are dirty and scattered on the floor of her living room because she hadn't done laundry for the past one month.The only wearable clothe she could find in her wardrobe was a mini wine red dress that Eric had gotten for her when they were still together.She knew wearing that dress would make her look so pathetic in front of him, but she couldn't care less, so she picked up the dress and throw it on, before leaving her apartment to go to his house hoping she would see him there.***Whereas at the Duke Walter's mansion, Akeerah's mom was still sobbing uncontrollably while Damien hugged her while he stood there thinking about how the stories don't match up.Because just a few days ago, they received a call from the detectives that they got a lead on the kidnappers, so why would they suddenly call and tell the
Eric’s POV,"You still love her, don’t you, that’s the reason why you said you couldn’t fall in love with me right"? Keerah uttered in a soft voice, more in a statement like than a question, but I remained quiet.I didn’t know what to say to her. I couldn’t outwardly deny her accusations, because what she said aren’t entirely a lie, neither are they the complete truth.Since I couldn’t tell Keerah I still love jade, and I couldn’t deny and say I don’t, I decided to just tell her something that might be believable.However, before I could say it, she quickly said I shouldn’t worry about it, and that I didn’t have to answer her question.I could clearly hear the disappointment from the way her voice sounded, but I know she was trying to act okay."Hey, that’s not the reason why I said that, I just didn’t want you to expect anything from our relationship, it’s not because I still love her," I said, breaking the ice like silence.Keerah remained quiet not even a word left her mouth at wha
