"I'm sorry, Chad but this is goodbye. The final one at that" and with that she walked in, closing the gate behind her before he runs after her."Lola!" He banged in the gate, like a kid whose mother locked up."Lola, please open up. We can talk about this." His trailed voice got to her on the other side of the gate, she leaned on the wall, hearing him call out her name, she felt bad but this was for the best.Tears filled up her eyes, but they came with a protuberance in the form of a headache, she had been crying excessively for the past week, and she walked in to grab a rest, if not for anything but for herself. Still outside the gate, Chad sat there with his hand on his head, just across the road, Camille watched the episode between them, and hot tears streamed down her cheeks. She gave a light bittersweet laugh, is she supposed to be happy that Lola herself broke off their ties and recommended her to him as a lover?Sh
"You like what you see?" She teased turning to him.He lets out a smile, exposing his perfect dentition," you wish."Shortly, she was done with the pancakes, she brought out the honey, then turned to him."You want some honey?" He nods in agreement, she poured a moderate amount on him and a little on hers.They both are silent, glancing at each other every chance they got, soon they were done, and Camille stood up to clear the dishes, when Chad held her wrist."Let's talk before things get awkward between us." He stated, she looked at him, then slowly sat down.He cleared his throat, then began" I saw the blood stain when I woke up this morning, Camille." she raised her hand immediately shutting him up."If you're about to apologize" Chad then there's no need.Because I don't need it. I did it because I wanted to." She stood up to leave but he held her back."I didn't want to apologize. I want us to start on
"Adriel?" She stood in awe and shock..he was the last person she'd ever expect to see on her porch this early morning."What are you doing here?" She asked looking at him, he looked all dressed up for work, his countenance not as cool as she had always known it to be."Can I come in?" He said curtly, with his left hand fixed in his pocket."Why? What do you have to say to me that you had to cut your journey to the office short to come to meet with me?" She told him, with her hands in akimbo. He looked at her intently, for a while more like a stare, then sighs, looking down then up at him."Fine, if that is what you want then I'll just tell you." "Sure." She replied."I want you to stop the nonsense you are pulling. I don't know what strings you're trying to pull but I was you to know that we're not getting married. Not now, not ever." He stated, she scoffed, was he joking? Everything to him seemed like a joke anyways."
Back in Alvarez residence….Mrs. Alvarez sat in the living room with a plate of chips and nuts while she enjoyed her family documentary show, she was a Middle aged woman, and she looked her than most of her mates who were her age or even older.She was barely sixty but she looked to be in her late thirties. She was the wife of the renowned businessman, Mr. Alvarez and the mother to the loving son, most people had adored, Adriel. But despite having all these, her son was still careless after the hard breakup with Sasha.Adriel and his mother used to be close and told each other stuff, until Sasha came into the picture, having been introduced to him by her.She still feels guilty to date, seeing she was a major contributor to her son's heartbreak. She decides not to meddle with his choice of women, but the more she gives him the chance, the more he messes up.On this particular day, they were not on talking terms after the Laura situat
"Mrs. Alvarez, what a pleasant surprise! " Director Evans rushed to her before she made serious jeopardy for the company."Director Evans, move." She told him sternly, looking at her in utter surprise, he immediately moved."As I said before, Ms. Garcia here was treated unfairly and I want my son to be most apologetic to her that is why they would be announcing their wedding plans with you all soonest." She dropped the bombshell, and both Adriel and Lola's eyes popped out."What!?" Both chorus with flabbergasted expressions on their faces, even though Lola initiated this in the first place it was still shocking to hear this from his very own mother. Everyone was not left out with this bomb of news."They're getting married?" Everyone murmured to themselves, Adriel couldn't breathe anymore, great! Just great! His mother had officially announced to the whole world he was getting married to this freak of a secretary."Yes they are, this
Adriel stood in front of Omar's front door, about to turn the doorknob when the door opened, It was Omar, he was all dressed up."Bro? Are you heading out?" Adriel asked in disappointment, he really needed someone to talk to.Surprised at his visit, " I was just about to come to see you. I saw the video. What's up?" Omar shook his hand."C'mon come in, man." He said to Adriel, opening the door wide open.Adriel walked in and crashed on the couch knocked out with frustration and exhaustion. Omar closed the door behind him, turning to see how miserable his friend had turned to in just a twinkle of an eye."Hey man, you don't have to get all work up about your mom, I guess she was just concerned about you that's all." He says calmly."Concerned? Did I hear you say concerned, Omar?My mother's mind was all made up even before she came over to ruin things In Front of the media and I'm pretty sure Lola is overly amused r
The next morning, Adriel woke up as early as he could, what went on last night he didn't know. All he knew was that he was locked up in his study room, trying to get the stress off him by reading some books and working on some apps.Apparently, Lola had dinner with his parents last night. He didn't want to agree to the so-called marriage but he was going to fight it off. He wanted his freedom; he enjoyed his freedom as a bachelor and wanted to keep it that way.He walked out of the bathroom, sighing as he looked at his suit laying on the bed waiting for his gorgeous body to slide into it.Within a few minutes, he was looking smokingly hot in his tuxedo gray colored suit, he gelled his hair back letting just a strand fall ringlets above his brows.He walked towards his briefcase, grabbed it with his keys, and then found his way to the stairs.Walking down the stairs, he looked over the dining room, his parents were having di
The house was quiet as usual, Lola gently walked in and she closed the door behind her, she looked around, it was dead silent. Gone are those days when Camille walked out from the kitchen and asked her how her day went, which they did gist about all evening. But this particular evening, she was alone. She threw her bag on the couch and sat on the chair as she took off her heels, she fell back on the chair, sighing deeply."Lola,?" She called herself, at that point she felt thirsty and needed a drink at least. She stood up heading to the kitchen, opened up the fridge and grabbed a chilled bottle of water, poured it into her glass, and returned the bottle to the fridge, closing it as she took a long gulp of its contents.Her doorbell rang, her eyes diverted to the door."Who could it be?" Her curiosity shoots up, and with the glass in her hand, she walks towards the door, gently turns the door knob, opening the door. Adriel stood there looking
