Two years later"No young lady, that skirt is a tad bit too short, go change." Louisa admonished disapprovingly as her now fifteen year-old daughter sashayed down the stairs towards her."But mum, this is the new fashion tr-""I don't want to hear it Isa, go get changed. Now." The stern mum cut in, lips pressed in an end-of-discussion manner."Ugh, I hate my life, you're so annoying." The teen groaned out loudly, turning back on her heel to stomp up the stairs, obviously going to do her mother's bidding.William walked in from the front door at that moment and so happened to catch the last bit of the conversation. "What was that about?" He asked curiously as he pressed a soft kiss on his wife's lips."Oh, that's just Isa being a normal Gen Z brat, I swear I can't understand them sometimes." Louisa complained tiredly, melting into her husband's arms. She had missed him dearly, and was grateful to have him back after two weeks of being away on a business

BONUS CHAPTER II (PART 2)“Do you think we should head over to Melissa’s first so we all go together?” Isa asked thoughtfully as Sylvester drove them away from her house to their school.“Naah, I don’t really think it’s necessary, we’ll see them anyway… or?”Isabel shrugged. She had no idea why the protective feeling she had for her best friend was setting in again. Melissa was dating this handsome guy, and former bad boy, Nathan Ashton. They had been going strong for almost three years now, and Nathan was really the best, but Isabel didn’t trust him, and from the look of things, it didn’t look like she was ever going to anytime soon.I mean, once a bad boy, always a bad boy… right?Isabel was praying that a time would never come when she would be proved right.“Come on, Is… what’s got you in the doldrums?” She heard Sylvester faintly

BONUS CHAPTER (III) part two“You’re seeing someone as in a man?”Mrs. Mensah scoffed in amusement. Apparently the shock had cleared her daughter’s processing functions. “Yes Louisa.” She confirmed with a chuckle. “I’m seeing someone as in a man.”Louisa still wanted to be absolutely sure that her mum was talking about the same thing she was. “As in you’re seeing this man romantically?” She pressed.“Are you sure you’re alright, Louisa? Of course I’m seeing him romantically. You’re not the only one who deserves a happy ever after, you know?” Came the reply.“B-But what about dad, Mama?  You-you told me you could never ever love any man like you love him. Or have you forgotten so soon?”The middle-aged woman was broken-hearted. A few minutes ago, she had been feeling the loss of her father’s death all over again, and fe

REGGIE AND CHRIS- A night of forgetting Christian Ayettey thought himself to be a cowardly nerd. I mean, granted… he had shed the scrawny-boy-in-glasses look over the years, but he was still very much the same inside. He may have gained muscle, gained confidence, lots of money and all of that shit, but he was still very much that same boy when it came to women. Why, you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. He had been pinning after Louisa Mensah way back in college, when she was just a young girl passionate about seeking justice for the innocent. He had been by her side when her heart had been shattered by her devastating breakup. He had been her friend way before Naa Larley had entered their lives. Even then, he had been in love with her. But he had been scared. Scared that the love he felt for her was only one-sided. Scared that their friendship would be compromised if he told her how s

Was she ever going to feel the joy of a true connection with someone that was specially made just for her and only her?Was she ever going to find her soul mate?The blue eyed man was wary, that much she could tell. She couldn’t even fault him for feeling that way, especially when the last time they had last seen each other didn’t end on such a great note.She gave him a small smile.
