CHAPTER TWENTY ‘A meet up with Romeo’
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.

"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 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.

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 I was no longer active on social media and there were rumours of me wanting to live a quiet because of the 'stabbing' issue.In order not to be recognized by the media.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.

I thought you were done being a pussy" She said with a straight face."You don't care about me, mother. You never did, you've always been trying to kill me but never succeeded. Do you how much damage you cost me this time?" I asked confidently. I was done being her pushover daughter."Because of you mom, I can't be a mother.

She's a terrible person who was only using me to get to Daniel.Even her own mother thinks she's selfish.Ola was way too arrogant. 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?" I asked walking seductively to him."Lola what did you say to Ola's mother?" He asked in a serious tone and I knew there was no use lying.

I asked wondering why he didn't look bothered sitting with a criminal."I put cameras all around your apartment in case anything happened" I was supposed to feel better by what he said but for some reason I was disappointed and angry concerning it."I didn't watch all the time, I promise" he says when he noticed the sour look on my face.
