While we were talking, we heard the booing of an helicopter outside the building , it sounded as
though it was moving closer, I looked around , hoping to find an explanation. The guards seemed as confused as I was , I could hear people jumping down , their feet echoed as though they wore hefty boots .The guards left us and began going outside to check what the commotion was about , we heard shouts and two gunshot , we didn't know who died or who was killing whomThe door burst open and we saw two African American men on clothes which seemed like
uniforms.The first made his way and began untying my mum, the second hesitated and began untying me too ."Who are you people, who sent you"" Ma'am I think , this not a time for questions , we are just following directives , and you're safe now "With that they led us to the helicopter outside , we flew to Lagos and at lagos we were taken to an already waiting jet , whoever our savior is must be very rich and influential. But what does he want?.While on the flight I was really scared in as much as I was relieved to go far from santiago, my head was too messed up to think."Hello , yes Boss , we got there in time ""There are here and safe""No we didn't "Who is his Boss?ACE'S POV
I had just finished making out with the sexy brunette I picked from the club yesterday when Jason's call came in."Where are they""There are here and safe ""Did you leave traces ""No we didn't " with that I ended the call.That was all i needed to hear, turning my head I met the the rosy lips of the brunette, we were at it all day and she is still not tired, such prowess for a lady , well that's how I loved them.It wasn't my tradition to keep them more than a day and the lady in my bed seems to want to stay more .
Getting up I wrapped the bedspread over my body headed to the bathroom to shower and prepare for the visitors I was expecting,I couldn't let them meet me like this , although Nigeria to canada was over five hours . After showering I came inside and still met the lady in my bed.
"You should get going" I told her "are you pursuing me?"
I didn't reply her , I wore my suit and left , coming down the stairs I met my cleaner Andrew.
"Good morning Boss"
"Make sure you get rid of the lady upstairs and take note of her face , I never want her in here again, I've settled with her "
"Yes sir".
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONEI knocked on Tom's door, luckily I heard RnB songs from his music box, a clear sign that someone most likely Tom was around. I heard the door knob turn."yeah? Oh hi, what's up ma'am" he looked so surprise to see me at his doorstep, I could totally understand, I didn't think I'll ever be at his door too, but ma'am? What has Ace told everyone, they accorded me with so much respect that was scary."well, I know you are so surprised to see me, I need your help please" I sighed" it's my job to help out ma he said with a smile ""I know, but it's a different kind of help this time around, there's a new movie I've been anticipating for about a year now, actually its the sequel to the famous TYLER PERRY'S SISTA'S, please I badly want to see the screening at National cinema, I need you to take me there tomorrow, Ace doesn't have to know""TYLER PERRY'S SISTA'S, Im anticipating it too!!"I didn't expect it to be that easy."yes, so we are on for tomorrow?""yes, but what if
CHAPTER TWENTYCHRIS'S POVThat girl definitely got some good stuff on Ace, I've never seen him that way before, does he have feelings for her? Ace never feels anything; I need to unlock whatever mystery is surrounding his entanglement with her, a rational person won't pick someone he doesn't know to come stay in his apartment, I was going to help him discover he liked her, in doing so find out who she is and what is more special than her pretty looks.Well I'll start by inviting her to the office mid-year Gala, discreetly. Getting her number was not a problem, I was going to cajole Mary with one of my sweet stories, besides the old woman was always bored. She needs company, Isabella herself seemed very jovial.I needed to crash at the club tonight I thought loudly.I knew where I was going laspinos they had the best ladies, music, drinks. ISABELLA'S POVHe came back unusually quiet today, I wondered what must have gone wrong with the outing with Chris, he barely replied Mary's gree
CHAPTER NINETEEN"Hey, senorita, you must be Ace's African beauty, he's been talking about the whole month " he smiled revealing his neatly arranged set of teeth , he is so handsome, almost as Ace, ... Did I just compare him to Ace?, Why?That was surprising, Ace talking about me to some random person, perhaps his friend , he never acted as though he saw me until there seemed to be a daring cause for us to talk."I'm Isabella, and yes I'm half African, who are you please?" I replied wiping my hand on the table napkin as I stood up ."Wow , it's my pleasure to finally meet you, you are ten times more beautiful than I imagined " he said drawing one of the chairs very close to mine.Feeling a little uncomfortable, I sat silently , wishing Ace would come down soon or someone else."Good morning sir " mary greeted , with a generous smile"Morning ma'am,how are you doing" they seemed aquainted with one another ."Good , you haven't come around in almost a month , hope you are good?""Yes ,
ACEPulling up in my garage with an indifferent feeling,I opened the car door , walking halfway to the house door I heard a gentle giggle , who brought a child into the house? Curious I opened the door . I saw Isabella sitting in front of the game stand with the control pad ,she didn't strike me as one who is into games , but then why would she be laughing playing a duo game alone.She was so engrossed that she did not notice me walk in , I was standing few steps away from , I should have left but then I was curious, suprisingly she made it to the second level . Raising her eyes as though she just detected my presence , she suprisingly asked me to join her "Do you want to join" "No , I was actually going upstairs" I said turning to leave"C'mon , it's just a game , stop acting like I just asked you to kiss me" she replied laughing"What !?" I was thrown off guard , I was hoping I heard wrongly because I wouldn't hesitate to , I mean who would reject a kiss from such lush lipsQuite
CHAPTER SEVENTEENTRACYAce has never been one to express himself to anybody, he got worse after our mum died , he barely spoke a sentence containing up to ten words , he refrained from people, he said they drained him.Aunt tricia and I couldn't get him to take interest in settling down , he gave aunty tricia audience before usually waving off the topic,but he never considered listening to me , he always sees me as a child and was used to making choices for me, it wasn't his fault , he is nine years older than I am.He is turning thirty three this year , yet he has never dated any girl not thought of having a serious relationship with any .

CHAPTER SIXTEENTurning my face to the angry looking Ace, I cowered , jostling back from my thoughts."What happened back there wasn't intentional I promise, I was coming to talk to you , I knocked but no one answered" I explained"I believe you isabella, what were you about asking me ?" His tone lowered , this man was totally unpredictable, I concluded."I wanted to talk to you about my friends, school and what I would be doing pending when things get stable or better , it's so boring here ....""There is a TV in the parlour I didn't ask you not to watch it , there are video games everywhere , that's if you know how to play""Excuse you ? , I do know how to , but then do I just sit at home all day watching movies and playing games ?""You do as you please" he said blankly, I knew I had to be more humble if I truly wanted a little more freedom and gadgets too."All I'm saying is I just want to reach out to my friends, by now they might be thinking I am mi
