Five months later..
Mike's POV
"Fine! We killed her to conceal the truth, aren't we still wanted? Aren't our pictures posted all around town. You think that her useless daughter won't leak mouth?" She threw back at me and I felt I needed to do something fast.
I sighed and moved closer to her on the bed. I smirked and took a loud breath before talking.
"Baby" I flattered her and my hands curled up to her waist but she violently shook it off.
"You caused your problems, do you know" I graved anger with my voice.
She turned back and faced me demanding for explanation.
"If you had stayed back to mourn her death, then come back after the issue is dead, do you think you'd have been able to clear suspicions against you"
"What if you escape with all the money?" She questioned my sincerity.
Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold - Chinau Achebe 4:30pmCairo, Egypt. Aachen's POV.My neighbour's stupid trumpet rang loud that I cursed from my sleep."Fool!" I muttered beneath my breath, panting and I sat up. I scrunched my eyes in anger because the abrupt wake.I rested my head on the bedstand and my reflection from the mirror called my attention and I rose up to the it.I slowly swayed my hips at the rhythm and blues song booming with an average volume from my brother's room. I touched my hair and drew it with an air of importance.BeautifulThat's my second name.I stopped and walked back
Blake's POV"Birthday mood!" I heard my mum squealed in excitement from downstairs. My twin and I would soon be nineteen. Grown ups!I rechecked my face in the mirror again and reached for my phone. I already have two missed calls from Tiana, sorry my girlfriend.It's been so long I fell in love, and she's making feel like it's my first time. I dialled her number back and sat patiently on my bed for her pick her call."Hello Blake" she greeted. Her voice sounded so rough and grumpy. I shrugged off with the feeling that it might because she just woke up."Good morning baby" I smiled heartily, and I knew she'd feel it."How was your night, did you dream about me?'' I asked and she giggled." Yeah. Who else would I dream of?" ."Good! You'd make a good wife" I teased and I could feel her throwing a pillow at me through
Tinashe's POVMy anger never allowed me to know when I bumped into a JSS3 student."Are you blind!" I scowled at him and he staggered away in fear. All juniors fear the one and the only Tinashe Benjamin. No one dare me, except for two fools that have been stepping on my nerves."What took you so long?" Claire complained as I got to the abandoned classroom."Chill. I'm here now. What's up" I cut her up and turned to JJ. His cute, perfectly cut face dropped down in thoughts."I have a plan. It's the usual plan, and I don't know maybe you'll like it" he licked his lower lip at me.I strolled to a seat. I cleaned it and sat down on it."And what's the usual plan?" I asked and my eyes caught them again. The window I was facing wasn't locked so I could see them.She was in his arms or he was in her a
Shile's POV "Mum when am I going back to school. WAEC timetable is out already, do you want me to fail" I sobbed to her but it all fell to deaf ears. "Mummy!" I cried again, moving closer to her. Suddenly she dashed out an outburst I never expected. "You want to go to school? Go! Just go okay!! If the police catches you there, don't ever say you know my whereabouts. You'll have to bear it alone!" I calmly sat down back on the sofa. My disappointment and frustration suddenly started turning to anger. This is the implication of her useless, irrelevant anger. Am I going to put an abrupt end to my education because of her fury. For the fact that I'm in my last year and my final exams comes in a bit!
Few weeks later..Third person narrative techniqueFaith took a stroll down from the estate to free her body or get suya from one of the mallam along the road.Her eagle eyes were at rest. It was screening the entire street as much as they stretch. She turned to a small kiosk and ordered for a bottle of Pepsi.The kiosk woman stared at her in awe all through. What a beautiful woman in her middle twenties! But her dressing was terrifying to mess with.She was in a white buttoned shirt with a black trouser. Her fixed black long hair was packed in a long ponytail. Her black big shade covered her eyes perfectly. Her red painted lips was beneath her beautifully pointed noise."Big bottle or small one?" The woman asked a disturbed Faith."Anyone or.. Big!" She waved the woman off."Here you madam" the woma
Aachen's POV"Thank you so much Charles. I'll call you later" I smiled and hanged up the conversation.I don't why things have decided to turn around to my benefit. I persuaded my mum to make me follow her down to Nigeria and she accepted. We had our stay in same town with Blake.Even though I had problems in getting his phone contact in the past few weeks I've been in Nigeria, I've finally got it today! I never wanted to go to his house unannounced. I know him, he has rules. You can't just barge into his residence telling him if you want your visit to be appreciated.So today I'll be visiting the mall for a beautiful red rose, I know he loves it. Or I'll get him a painted art work? No, that doesn't sounds romantic. I'll have to get the rose instead. I know he loved me so much that I nearly drove him crazy, so I'll just have to renew the love to be stronger.I ordered for
Third person narrative techniqueTiana checked herself again in the mirror and smiled satisfactory at her look. The only thing missing was her nails, she'd have to ditch it, that would save her from the stress of removing it.Her mood sprang back alive when she got home a day before and the DPO announced that Mike have been caught in a mallam outfit, trying to poison the detective but she caught him.Her admiration for the female detective deepened more. She had always put her trust in her that she'd find Mike no matter how cunning he might be."Your lipstick is not that good" Blaire called her back from her thoughts with a disapproval frown."Let me get you mine" she rushed back and appeared in no time with a pink lipstick.Tiana quickly mopped her lips with a nearby tissue and thrust her lips to Blaire and she applied the lipstick on it gently.
Tiana's POVI dashed out of the bathroom at once. Blake had moved faster than I can imagine. I couldn't find him again.I stared confusingly at the crowd, I still couldn't find him. I felt a pat on my shoulder and I turned back scarily with fear."What's wrong? Why are you like this" Blaire frowned in question at me."Uhm.. I.. I- I'm just wondering where Blake could be" I shuttered. I had tried to sound serious but I failed."He's in his room actually. Look here, when you lie, you sound so fake. Tell me, what's wrong? Why are you shaking?" She held my hands but I jerked from her grip and dashed to the room.I ran towards the room with great speed but slowed down when I was about to get to the door."Blake I'm here for you. I love you,but you don't know who loves and trip and fall for the wrong person" the voice sounded so familiar that I s
