CHAPTER HUNDRED NINETY-SIX*This is her retribution and she must face it with open arms*"You are a mistake!!! You shouldn't have been born!" Monica screeched."you are the reason why my sister lost her child in the first place !!!! And now, you don't even mind losing another one do you?" Jeff's lip curled up into a mocking smile." I could care less what you bloody think Monica! You turned my wife against me! I knew you never liked me at all. Why don't you go find a man of your own and quit interfering in my family affairs huh?!" he barked fiercely, the veins from his neck popping out violently.Monica glared at him pointedly and scoffed."You are a lost cause, Jeff and from the moment I set my eyes on you, I knew that my sister was making the worst mistake of her life!" she squealed in rage, pounding her hands furiously in the air.His face contorted in disgust as he glowered at her."Say what now!!!!?? You bitch!!! What do you care?! You have always been a hopeless romantic! You
CHAPTER HUNDRED NINETY-SEVEN *You transformed my whole life and made it new again*"Phew! What a journey down memory lane!" Janice exclaimed and reached for her glass of wine and took a gulp."I didn't want to remember that. After all the horrid things those girls did to me, I just wanted nothing more than to Completely shut it out of the recess of my head for good." she cringed as she guzzled down the remaining contents of her glass.Releasing a blurb, Janice edged closer to the table, she propped her hands on the table, locking her hands together as she pierce a steady gaze to her best friend across the table.Hannah shot her a puzzled look.She smiled and shook her head dolefully."Still, there were both good and bad memories. Like how the events of the big trio orchestrated our encounter and we became the best of friends like we are now." Hannah chuckled and extended her hand over the table to grasp her hand gently, caressing her hand sweetly with a wide grin plastered on her fa
CHAPTER HUNDRED NINETY-EIGHT *South Africa in a bit!*Days passed by like a blur and even before one can say Jack Robinson, Saturday came slamming on their faces.The chirping of the early morning bird at her slightly ajar bedroom window roused her from sleep. She yawned deeply, flexing her muscles. She rubbed her eyes groggily and glanced at the bedside alarm clock.The time reads; 7:27 am.Suddenly her eyes popped open as the realization dawned on her.Today is Saturday!!!!! Today is the trip day to South Africa and her flight is due by 10 am!!!! She scooted over to her bed and grabbed her phone. With a mere hand gesture, the phone came to life and several notifications popped up 4 missed calls from Drake and 10 missed calls from her father.Shoot! In a swift moment, She sprung from the bed like a spooked dog. Being late gives you this adrenaline you never thought you had especially if what you are almost running late for is very very important to you.She ran to the bathroom a
CHAPTER HUNDRED NINETY-NINE *"Get your bags packed you are going to South Africa"*She descended the stairs gingerly, and the Nike sneakers she wore thumped the flooring as she came downstairs.The hushed voices of two men ceased as she rounded up the corner of the stairs and into the dining room.She must have interrupted their discussion because, as soon as they spotted her they ceased laughing.She arched her brows dubiously. What were they babbling about?"Good morning Princess, you finally joined us." Her father said as if he was just seeing her for the first time.Drake quickly rose to his feet and held out the chair for her to the seat. She was touched by his urbane gesture.She gulped as his strong forearm was almost touching her as she slumped into the chair. She forced a gaze to the table, pretending to be fascinated by the food in front of her.He returned to his seat and she felt the table quivered as he did so."So I got a call from our travel agent and he says they will
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED*Hello South Africa!*"We will be arriving in Cape Town, South Africa in five minutes." the Pilot announced through the speakers.Janice's heart drummed in anticipation as she gazed outside the plane through the window. Her jaw dropped at the sight of the view.It was breathtaking !!! The stunning coastlines and dramatic mountains and beautiful floral landscape.Drake chuckled as he watched her intently. She was gawking at the window with dewy eyes like a dramatic kid at the first sight of food."You seem very excited ." He smirked at her.Realizing she was drooling, she quickly jammed her lips together and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.She laughed it off nervously."I can't help it... It's my first time in Africa!" she gushed."I can't wait to land and let the first African breeze hit me hard against my cheeks." "We will be landing soon." Drake winked. Heat rushed through her body like an avalanche. He was so gorgeous in his grey sweatpants and swe
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED-ONE *"I would rather eat you than eat a brunch"*After having a quick shower with Drake waiting in the living room, she padded to the living room with her robe on.He was so engrossed in the magazine he was reading that he didn't notice her presence at first."Ahem!" she cleared her throat, startling him. He didn't look surprised. On the contrary, he looked entertained.Her cheeks heated as she remembered what she was wearing.She covered the exposed V-neck shape of her robe and glared at him pointedly."What's you looking at, you pervert!" she squealed.He held up his hand in defence." I didn't even look at first until you made it obvious."She scoffed."Well, why don't go out and have a great look at the African women? They certainly have the looks I must say. Perfect match for a womanizer like you." she scowled at him.Drake couldn't help but cackle."You don't mean that do you?" He sneered, grating her nerves."Of course, I don't! Why would I bother? You are
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED -TWO*leave all preparations to me! I got you!*"Right this way, Miss Janice!" Nana called out, as she waved at them from across the table at the far corner of the large gourmet hotel restaurant.The restaurant was exquisite with many reputable people whom she assumed her businessmen and women from different countries.The restaurant overlooked the beautiful ocean she had spotted on their way to the hotel. Nana was already seated and waiting for them.They joined her and Drake held out the chair for her to a seat. She dropped to the seat, gracefully and offered a smile to Nana.A smirk ghosted her lips as her face glided from Drake to her but it disappeared as soon as it came.She forced a tight-lipped smile in return.She cleared her throat and pulled out the menu and handed the other copies to them."So what are you ordering? You might want to try out our Native food as a welcome gift. What do you say? " she said breezily.Janice and Drake glanced at each other i
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED-THREE *Fuck her! She is falling for it again*"I will the shower first if you don't mind?" She said faintly as he wiped the card over the door to their hotel room.He quirked an eyebrow and hesitated before he stepped out of the way for her to pass.He gestured. "If you wish. You are the lady of the house. Do as you please."He ribbed with a sly smile crossing his face.She scoffed and flipped her hair as she wheeze past him into the luxurious hotel room."Today was fun!" she said enthusiastically as she tossed her bag on the couch and slumped into it with a deep sigh.He pursed his lips and nodded in agreement. He walked over to the table and sat on the couch beside her."not gonna lie but that Swalli drink was fire!" Janice gushed. " it has this amazing weird taste that I can't categorically put into words."She chuckled and her smile waned as she saw the reflective mode of Drake. He looked as of he was in deep thought."You good?" she asked calmly.He licked hi
