“I'm leaving.” Aracely huffed as she started to walk out of the abandoned building Latifa had somehow convinced her to come to. Her fists tightened as she began to walk even farther away from the building, anger built up inside her and she honestly had no clue why was she was so angry, maybe she was angry because of how things had turned out to be, the truth was, Aracely just couldn't let go of the past, and today she was supposed to meet an integral piece of her life, was she ready for this? ready to confront the past and finally understand the sadness she had seen in her mother's eyes during her last days, how her gaze said a lot more than her lips did? was Aracely ready to know what Aramide's past was?   “Ara wait” Latifa tried as she reached out to the girl but she didn't expect Aracely to yank away from her grip and glared at her with the meanest look she could have mustered at that moment, a slow monotone voice carefully escaping her lips as a tear trickle

Aramide's fingers grazed over the picture that rested in her arms, her eyes watered with unshed tears as her bottom lip wobbled. Memories raced through her head as she tried to shush the hurricane within her.   It had been ten years now. And nothing, absolutely nothing had changed. to the whole world, she was dead, just like dared and her daughter — Aracely, but aramide had been alive and she had spent the last ten years trying to find the person who murdered her family.       The picture frame in her hands looked old, more like something that would suit some antique museum in the south or something, it was gold-framed, and in the picture Aracely was holding Dared's hands, trying, as usual, to force the man to do something less boring, the man had just returned from work though, and playing chess with his competitive daughter wasn't what he needed   Aramide had barely shown in the photo, she remembered bursting

Aracely breathed fresh air as she walked around the beach, watching the waves and tides go up and down, waver and them settle, she was wearing a black bikini with a black flannel, Sunglasses were delicately perched over her nose, resting carefully on them, She bit her lip as she paused mid-walk, now finally taking time to stare at the water, what was the event? Christmas. Christmas was coming soon. FLASHBACK “momma” Aracely whispered, the eight-year-old was sat on Aramide's lap as everyone celebrated Christmas. Dared had tried to play with the girl or even get her to just 'hang out with him, but she disagreed, Apparently in need of her mother's touch. “Yes, princess?” Aramide gingerly replied as she locked eyes with her little princess, the eight-year-old was wearing a blue princess gown and had a little wand in her hands, the combo was Aracely's idea, so Aramide just went along with it.&n

The woman’s hills carefully clicked on the marble tiles. Silence fell on the space she had walked in immediately, one could even hear the sound of the thick terrified breaths from the people around her. Her face scrunched up in disgust as she walked through the halls of her company— In her opinion those petty workers who worked for her couldn’t it rite her more even if they tried. Her eyes narrowed at the cleaner who seemed to be doing a flimsy job at cleaning, How hard was it to hurry up and do a job she was sure she over paid them for?     “You” her icy tone pierced through the tense atmosphere as she narrowed her eyes and glared at the Janitor who was trying her nest not to break down at the sight of the woman, She had heard stories about the woman, horrific stories that could send chills down anyone’s spine.  Once it was even rumored that she sold or assaulted some of the worker who had even dared to graze her shoes, such was the ca

The sound of spoon assaulting plates filled the air, there was thick tension in the air that no one dared to break through, at least not Adriana, He sat on the other side of the table as he watched his adoptive mother glare at the food she was served, today, she wasn't even trying to hide the anxiety and stress that had swallowed her for the past ten years but Adriana knew the cause and he bore his mother's hatred filled intentions too, it was all their fault that his mother had gone through so much, and  when he found them — they were going to pay   "Did you speak to the commissioner today?" Tania's icy tone filled the air snapping Adrian out of his thoughts, the boy nodded as he paused and stopped eating, his eyes locked with his mother's icy ones but he seemed unfazed instead he offered a small smile which the woman reciprocated.   "Do you want to get some rest? At least until the commissioner can narrow down this case? With all this
