CHAPTER NINETEEN ‘A new life’
Today was the day I would be leaving this 'all white' scenery and I was really grateful to God because I was able to overcome suicidal thoughts despite having nice friends.
Esther and Lola helped me get an apartment in a pretty nice area. They helped me arrange it and everything but somethings I used to have back at my old house was missing.
I missed a lot of things actually but I couldn't go back. This was my new life now and I had to adjust to it despite it's shortcomings.
I had to get my cars. Maybe sell one off and look for a new job since I already sent a letter to mom's secretary informing her of my withdrawal from the office.
I told Danny about having to pack my things from mom's house. It wasn't my house anymore.
Danny agreed to escort me there tomorrow around 12pm when mom would still be at work. He also agreed that I could cal

Today I would be meeting up with Romeo and to be honest, I was pretty excited about it.I got to the park, in my blonde wig of course and looked around for a cute guy with glasses.I felt a tap on my shoulder and I slightly jumped. I looked to see who it was, lo and behold! Romeo"Hey! You scared me" I say regaining my composure when I saw that it was just him."I'm sorry my lady" he says exaggeratedly.I open my arms wide and he gave me a nice hug. I got a whiff of his manly but sweet cologne on his shirt.After what felt like minutes I pulled away from the hug."You look a bit lean than the last time I saw you, you probably should take it easy with the hustling and stuff" Romeo gently says his hands on my back."I would if i get a job" I say as we take a stroll around the park."I already told you Anna,

OLA SMITHMother called my phone, many times than I could count that I had to block her phone number.It could only do so much as stop her from contacting me but what if she hired a private investigator to look for me and monitor my every move.She'd done it before. And that was where one of my most darkest secret laid.My mom once killed a man. And I helped her.I got up from my bed and headed to the windows. I opened it and let the air in.I had forgiven myself for it long ago, I pushed the thought out of my mind, sure. But it had always been there at the back of my mind somehow.I would never forget that night. It was the first time I'd witness murder and participate in it.He even had a little daughter and I killed her. It wasn't the initial plan, I wanted her to escape but-

***I woke up only to see a familiar face staring at me. Theo."Thank God you're awake, I was beginning to think you were gone" Theo says."How's your hand?" He asked and I look at my bandaged hand. It felt fine than before."Okay. Thanks for helping I really appreciate it" I say quietly before asking "What time is it?""11pm" he shrugged."I'm good now, you can leave" I said, not really feeling comfortable with this guy despite the fact that he helped me."You need help Ola Smith, you're screwed up in here" he says pointing to his head, as if making a point.That only made me angry. This is exactly why I don't trust him."Who's paying you to do this?" I asked and he looked at me, annoyed."You don't have to be like that to me Ola,

Two weeks later***I decided on a new life. Ola Smith had disappeared. I was no longer active on social media and there were rumours of me wanting to live a quiet because of the 'stabbing' issue.In order not to be recognized by the media. I dyed my hair blonde and decided to change my name.I was thinking about moving to another state to start a new life but I knew nobody there.I didn't know much people here but at least, Danny had been here for me.Lola and i barely talk these days, I felt bad even though I didn't like to admit it but I talked sense into my head.Friendship barely last. Look at Jade and I, despite everything, our friendship shattered and we became strangers.Stephanie and Esther were good to me but they had busy jobs so we only chat online, most of the time.Danny was the one who actually took time to check on me. I think this made Lola jealous and she completely cut me off.

She disrespects her mom and leave her alone despite everything her mom's done for her.Suddenly the door opened revealing an angry Daniel."Hey babes, tough time at work?"
