Adeena was Jared’s sister. Jared’s only sister. But he lost her to the cold hands of death and unruly behavior.Adeena had everything that she could possibly ask for, except the presence of her parents. They had thought that if they gave her all that she asked for, she’d be satisfied.But with the way they gave and satisfied her, she fell into the wrong hands. The type of hands that Cordelia has seemingly fallen into.According to Adeena, she had found love in the eyes of one Brian Ecknar. She had fallen in love. But this fall was too hard, and the pit was so deep that it became a grave.In Brian’s mind, all he could think of was how he had hit the jackpot of being with the daughter of a rich man. Oh, Brian was ready to risk it all to have all that she had.So, from hard drugs, to hardcore sex, to threesomes, he exploited her, and she followed him like a sheep looking for pastures. Adeena followed him around to feel loved.The love that she was seemingly not getting from home, and Br
Jared sat in his study, the room bathed in dim light, as he meticulously went through the information Edith had gathered on Senator Ivan. The revelations were disturbing, confirming his suspicions about the senator's illicit activities.Even though Jared knew that Senator Ivan was dirty, he didn’t think he was going to be so knee deep in this kind of thing.From human trafficking, to drug trafficking, money laundering, and some serious laundering of the government’s money.He knew that exposing these secrets would be his most potent weapon against the corrupt politician.His mind raced with thoughts of El Azul, his enigmatic and powerful uncle.“I really hope uncle picks my calls.” Jared said to himself with his hands on the files in front of him.Jared needed his guidance and support in this battle against Senator Ivan. Despite their complicated relationship, Jared knew he had to make the call.Jared never really liked his uncle, because he didn’t like his mother.Anytime he came to
Suddenly, Cordelia’s phone rang, and as she turned the screen, she realized that it was McKyala.“I need to get going now Jared. I’d see you at school, or when next I’m supposed to come here. Thank you so much for helping me out.”There was a tingling feeling in Jared’s heart. One that he had been trying to avoid. Love.Jared never thought he was going to fall in love with Cordelia.The sole purpose of doing what he was doing was to avenge his sister’s death.“No. No. No. No. This can’t be happening. This shouldn’t be happening. Jared said as he retreated to his seat. I can’t possibly be falling in love with her.” Jared said as he laughed at himself mockingly.“Where have you been Cordelia? I’ve been calling you. The driver said he dropped you off a few meters away from Jared’s house. So where did you go to?”“Ohhh did you go back to meet Jared? Was the sex that good?” McKayla said with a cunning look on her face.”“Yes, McKayla, the sex was that good. He drilled me so hard, and so b
My darling, I hope this letter meets you well.I know, I know you must have been waiting to receive this letter. I’m sorry it’s just coming to you now. Time has not been on my side recently, I’ve been looking for different ways to amass back, the great amount of wealth that your dad, my boss was owned, and I must confess, I’m so close.Very soon, I will uncover the faces of those lying and cheating bastards that did this to your family heritage and everything will be back to normal, I promise.As for better news, I’m going to do all that I can here and find my way down there to watch over you keenly. I hope you’re taking good care of yourself? And that all is well with you?Remember the sacrifices of your father.Don’t lose hope yet Cordelia, I know it’s hard to withstand this storm, but all will soon be well my dear.Till I write you again.As Cordelia read the letter, she could feel both sadness and pain.Even though her eyes were as dry as the safari desert, she wanted to scream s
Cordelia barely got any sleep last night.Apart from the wrestling thoughts of facing David, Sasha and even Jared tomorrow, she had never had so much to drink in her entire life.As she rolled on the bed, one could hear the sounds of many waters in her belly.It was like a red balloon filled with alot of water.“Hmmm…” Cordelia let out a deep sigh as she sat up on her bed and used a rubber band to pack her hair up.She looked at her face in the mirror, and the sleep marks on it would tell a very good lie that she had a good nights rest.Suddenly, she squeezed her face like she just had a jug of freshly squeezed lemons. The aftermath of the big bottle of whiskey was already kicking in.It was almost 7:00am, so she had to prepare quickly.She got out of bed gently and worked her way to the bathroom.After 30 minutes, she was done.She quickly took her bag and ran outside.“Oh I pray I don’t miss the bus, I cannot walk to the school with my head turning left and right like this.” Cordel
Suddenly, Cordelia stopped in her tracks, as she walked to the classroom.One would think that she saw a ghost.She turned to David, and looked at him straight in the eye, like they were having a stare down.“You left me when I needed you the most. And now you’re here? Why? Why did you come back? Why now?” Cordelia spat these words at him, trying to control her anger and sadness.“I’m sorry Cordelia, I shouldn’t have done that. I don’t know what came over me. I’m really sorry. Please forgive me. I’d be better. I will do better.” David responded to her.“I don’t want you to do better David. I don’t want to let you into my life now and you leave later again.” Cordelia said with a serious look on her face.David stood there not knowing what to say.However, Cordelia knew that she was making a choice, like she was asked to in the dream that she just had.‘I need to do what’s best for me.’ Cordelia said to herself quietly.‘Even if I don’t know what that is.’ She continued.She left David
With nowhere to turn and nowhere to run, Cordelia didn’t know what she was going to do.At this point, only one name came to heart.McKayla. However, Cordelia was quite hesitant to go, because she knew she would have to most likely confess to a lot of things if she was going to talk to McKayla about this situation.She let out a deep sigh.She had already gone back to the classroom to sit with her head full of so many thoughts.“What could the pocket watch and black feather mean?”“What does Sasha want with me?” Cordelia asked herself with a puzzled look on her face.She didn’t know what to expect, and she was already becoming tired of being careful about everything.“I wish Mr Smith was here with me. He would have solved this problem at the snap of a finger. I hope you come soon Mr Smith.” She said to herself as she lowered her head on the table in front of her.Tired from the mental exhaustion and running around, Cordelia fell asleep for about 10 minutes inside the classroom, only t
The night was heavy with darkness as Cordelia tossed and turned in her sleep. Dreams haunted her, twisted and distorted, mirroring the chaos of her waking life. She found herself in a maze of shadows, pursued by nameless figures, unable to escape their relentless pursuit. Each corner she turned only led her deeper into the labyrinth, trapping her in a web of fear.But amidst the turmoil, a faint glimmer of hope emerged. In the midst of her nightmare, Cordelia heard a familiar voice calling out to her, a voice filled with warmth and reassurance. It was Mr. Smith's voice, soothing and calm, guiding her through the darkness."Cordelia, my dear, don't be afraid. I am here with you," the voice whispered gently.Startled, Cordelia opened her eyes and found herself back in her apartment, bathed in the soft glow of dawn. The remnants of tears stained her cheeks, evidence of the emotional storm she had endured. She sat up, wiping her face, and took a deep breath to steady herself.It was a
