I sit there, wondering what exactly I’m about to discover, my overactive mind turning over the possibilities like pages in a book I’m not sure I am interested in reading. A loud knock shakes me out of my reverie.

“Come in,” I call.

Noah steps in, casual but purposeful. “Mum, Dad says you should get ready. We’re going out for lunch, then to check on the repairs at your store with Uncle Desmond.”

I smile and say “ Okay Noah I will be there in a jiffy “ I am so thankful for the men in my life who make things easier. Being an independent woman doesn’t mean refusing help it’s knowing when you need it and taking the help given with grace.

I pick out a yellow Adidas two-piece jogger set, hair in a sleek ponytail under a Nike cap, spray some Coconut Dream perfume, apply some light makeup, and head out.

They’re all waiting—Brandon, Desmond, Noah. Gabe’s by the entrance.

“Where’s Amanda?” I ask.

“She hasn’t come in yet,” Brandon says.

Gabe adds, “We’re meeting her at the store.”

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Creative Buzz

    By the time the clock strikes five, I feel so much freer like load has been lifted off my shoulders . Working from Desmond’s home has help me recapture my creative spark and I dont feel so caged in anymore . I pack up my things into a neat pile and hang my bag on my shoulder Desmond stands up immediately holding his jacket in his hand ready to walk me to my flat . Always a gentleman. “I’ll walk with you ,” he says , The elevator ride to my flat is quiet our shoulders barely touching . I can sense a slight electric buzz between us which makes my pulse race but I ignore it . The elevator stops briefly on the floor above mine I glance at him and He is watching me desire flashing in his eyes . I blush and look away …. When we get to our floor he steps out of the elevator with me and touches my elbow softly I look at him . We look at each other for while neither of us saying a word . His eyes are holding mune captive speaking if desires that I am not ready to face today . Then he

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Change of Scenery

    I wake up in the morning with Noahs arm hugging me . I don’t know when he crawled into my bed, but today more than ever, I’m grateful for his intuition. He can sense that I needed his innocent warmth today . I comb his hair with my fingers giving him a kiss on his forehead … “You can always tell when Mummy needs you … …” I say softly into his ears . He doest even stir , still in lala land. I lay there for a while basking in his warmth and innocence …Later on after Breakfast , Brandon notices me walking back and forth . He leans against the kitchen counter and says… “You’re restless,” I sigh, rubbing my arms . “I feel like I am under house arrest Brandon. I know you are trying to keep me safe but it’s driving me crazy . I will like a change of scenery at least .” His gaze softens. “I know its hard no need to explain .” He walks closer and envelops me in a brief quick hug kissing my temples . “I will speak to Desmond. He told me he will be working from his flat for a few days pe

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Turbulent Seas

    After a short while , I finally say, “I need a cup of coffee . I just need a break.” I feel the need to move so I walk into the kitchen . I see the pastry box and I gravitate to it like a magnet I pick up another pastry this time a white chocolate croissant. The taste of the rich white chocolate melts in my mouth the minute I take a bite , decadent and comforting rich . Sometimes all you meed is something sweet to balance the bitter or upsetting news you are receiving…I can hear them in the living room talking quietly exchanging views and thoughts . I put the kettle on the hob and make a fresh batch of coffee, the familiar smell wrapping around me like a comforter . I then lean on the counter, eating and sipping my coffee . Giving myself a moment of grace . A moment to exhale . By the time I have devoured my croissant and the last gulp of my coffee, I feel a bit better . When I walk into the living room , every pair of eyes in the living room is looking at me . As if

  • Aaliyah’s Return    The Debriefing

    We all sit around the living room in silence . Brandon is sitting on my left, while Shawn is on my right, Desmond chooses the single sofa facing me directly leaning forward with his usual seriousness, and Gabe sits a little apart from us in a single chair ever vigilant waiting to hear what comes next . They’re all staring at me as if they are waiting for some kind of reaction . Brandon starts talking first . “We have come to the realisation that these attempts are not random They’re all connected in one way or the other .” His voice is cool and calm as usual , He looks at Desmond. “ Can you tell us what you have found ?” “Yes,” Desmond says without hesitation, his tone grim. “I would love to share the information with you .” He continues . “We’ve traced the patterns. The timing, the methods , it’s too deliberate. Whoever is behind this is watching us, testing us to see what makes us tick , waiting for the right moment to strike.” I come to a sudden chilling realisation. “I am th

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Pastries

    Pastries At about six, the doorbell rings, and I jump in my seat. Amanda glances at me, eyebrows raised. I ignore her and slip into the living room, where Gabe is accepting the pastry boxes from the dispatch. I clap my hands in delight. Brandon chuckles. “Aaliyah, you have such a sweet tooth.” “I do,” I reply, grinning. “And it’s definitely needed today, considering what’s happening later.” I open the top pastry box and pick out a strawberry tart. The moment I bite into it, it explodes in my mouth, and I can’t help but groan softly. Brandon stares at me transfixed as if the rest of the room has vanished, his wolf flashing in his eyes. I meet his gaze, unflinching, until Gabe coughs, trying to clear his throat as if he is choking . Amandas face turns red and starts fanning herself. “Brandon , your power is leaking,” Gabe says Brandon closes his eyes and reels it back in, He is now cool as a cucumber again …Only Gabe and Amanda seem to have been affected. Noah is too busy

  • Aaliyah’s Return    Caged in

    Much later after having lunch, A sudden craving hits me. Pastries from the patisserie across the street are calling my name. I tried to think of something else but the craving is stuck to me like glue. I keep imagining biting into the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth flaky goodness with its perfect crust. What is life without a bit of sweetness? I think to myself. For one dangerous minute, I think about just going out without telling anyone. It's a few blocks away no one needs to know.… but then Sanity returns I will not make it out of the door before Brandon or Gabe catches me.… They would never approve, and they would have guards around me in an estate before I even made it across the pavement. I feel my frustration steadily building in my mind smh. I go into my bedroom for a few minutes and the craving will not let up. I feel so boxed in today, the silence feels suffocating and the echo of the constant steps of guards in rotation in the hallway is unnerving. Having the guards statione
