ESTONIA I hate to admit but I immediately regretted what happened to us right after I got back on my senses. I shouldn't have done that. I avoided Travis right after what happened. I took my time on the shower so he wouldn't wait for me to get out. The moment I went to the dining hall where Adam prepared a feast, I tried my best to put a distance between us. I went straight tó the buffet to get my meal instead of going to the table where Travis, Grandma, and the nurse were seated. I saw him standing up to greet me but I immediately looked away. There were other guests at the resort so I didn't have a hard time avoiding him. I didn't even bother to look at him so our eyes wouldn't meet. I'm not sure how to face him after what happened. I could sense his intense gaze towards me. But I decided to ignore it and continue fixing my meal. After I finished getting my food, I went straight to our table. There was no available seat aside from the chair besid
ESTONIA After that encounter, my relationship with Travis started to lighten up. We haven't talked about that much but it was clearly better than the day that I started to pretend. I'm starting to notice the things that I usually overlooked during the times that we are still together. I remember how he was so focused on his work but still he never missed a morning coffee with me. We might not always eat dinner together but he always makes it a point that we're going to eat breakfast together. Those were the little things that l didn't think mattered. I was now starting to appreciate Travis now more than ever. This is our last night at the resort and Adam said that there's a cocktail party that is going to happen at the beach front. Good thing I brought my favorite oxblood dinner dress. I put it on then I looked at myself in the mirror. The top of the dress just has a tiny strap serving as the hand and the back me completely bare up on till my wai
TRAVIS "Get everyone here, asap". I coldly told Adam. I keep on walking back and forth while we're in the room. Tonia was kidnapped and this is all because of me. I have been receiving a lot of death threats recently but I didn't take it seriously. I have been eating death threats for breakfast since my father handed his firm over to me and the firm has handle a lot of dangerous cases. Tonia's presence just made me forget how dangerous my life could be for a moment. It took about 20 minutes before everyone finally arrived. "I need to set up my things so we can start working". David said the moment he stepped into the room. David owns the largest security agency in Nigeria. But his work doesn't stop from giving prominent people the security they wanted. I bet he can also track a ghost. Well when I say ghosts I mean those who don't have any identity. People who choose to live behind the shadow and seize to exist. He can hack into any system i
ESTONIA "What are those?". I asked Travis the moment l laid my eyes on the bags that were in the living room. Right after I feel much better to travel back here, we immediately hit the road. My eyes went back on the bags and that's when I realized that those are all my stuff. "David will assist you. He will take you back to Benin with his private plane". he coldly said. I frown, It took quite some time before all his words sink into my head. I'm starting to get pissed but I don't want to allow it to get the best of me. I tried to calm down and control myself and not jump into the conclusion. "And why is that?". I irritably asked him. l'm not really sure where he is going with this But am as sure as hell that I definitely won't like it because I already have an idea of where it's going. "There is no need for you to be here anymore". he said without an explanation. I suddenly got extremely pissed off b
David brought me to a different and quiet place. I didn't notice the road that we took since I fell asleep during the trip. I was so tired, since after the kidnapping l haven't had a nice rest and I haven't fully recovered from the bruises that I gained during the abduction. David finally woke me up when we got to the port then we took a small yacht going to a small island. It took us just 30 minutes until we arrived in a Villa that was surrounded by nothing but sand and water. It looked like a private island, there was nothing there but a big mansion in the middle of it. "Where are we?". I asked David, still obviously amazed by the view. "You don't have to worry, we're still on earth". he jokingly answered, I glared at him before hitting his shoulder. "Ouch! Such a violent young lady," he exaggeratedly said. "Are you answering my question or what?". I scoffed at him. "Well, We're on a private island here in Lagos". he answered.
Tonia lost track of time. She hasn't seen David since the last time she saw him. She decided to take a nap in the only room available at the Villa. She had her clothes with her but for some reasons, she decided not to shatter her things and just use the t-shirt she found inside the cabinet. It was already dark outside when Tonia decided to leave the room and look for something to eat. As she stepped out she noticed that the lights were turned on but still there was no sign of David in the house. She slowly walks towards the kitchen since she's feeling hungry and she wanted to check out some food in the fridge. She hadn't completely stepped into the kitchen when she saw a familiar build who was standing in the middle of the kitchen while talking over the phone. So much for a place where Travis can find me, huh? More like David just set me up. I would surely remember to chop off his ear whenever I see them again. "Why did you
Estonia "Aunt, where would I put this?" l asked my mom's sister, she own a small art gallery where I decided to help her with instead of employing an outsider. "Just put it beside the other drawing outside, and please make sure it's facing the sun" she said. I smiled at her and walked towards where the line of drawing was currently located. I put down the drawing that I was carrying beside the other one. These were the drawing that l just drew an imaginary image of my younger self. After the annulment, I went back to my hometown in Edo state, Benin. I didn't know where to start back then, I was lost. I didn't have any family to run to and no place to go.I decided to go back where my parents met and had me. I've been astray for a couple of days when I arrived here in Benin, with just a couple of bills in my pocket. I tried to look for a job while looking for a place to stay and to my luck I met my Aunt. Few years back when I was still
Estonia THE nerve of this guy to call me his wife and not only that also ask for a kiss! I didn't mind his word but instead, I looked out at the window and tried to ignore his "What a way to greet your husband, huh?" he said while I continued looking out at the window of the car still not minding him. I didn't know where we were going and he was still not telling me either. "Ex, Travis. Ex-husband," I corrected him when I noticed he still wouldn't stop referring to me as his wife. "Alright, alright. Ex-husband it is," he teasingly answered. I didn't know what was with him and why he was acting like this, all of the sudden. "Where are we going?" I asked him, completely ignoring his last word. "I'm staying at a small hotel nearby. That's the most decent hotel I can find around here, "Why are we going to your hotel? I know a decent coffee shop in the next town. If you need to talk We can stop there and ta
