NARRATIVE Adele walked into the terminal and let her eyes scanned around for her younger sister. "Hey sis!" Turning around, she saw Clara standing with such wide grin by her luggage as she waved gleefully at her. "Clara!" Adele shouted back as she ran to her sister and they both got wrapped up in a passionate embrace. "I know you've missed me so much but you wouldn't admit it so easily." Clara said smugly from Adele's shoulders, making her chuckle. "Come on now, Let's go to my place. We'll talk on the way." Adele said, slightly patting her back. "Sure," Clara grinned.____ Alvin who had stalked Adele to the airport immediately took a photo of Clara from his hideout. He wasted no time in sending the photo to Carlo and then, he called him to confirm he'd received it. "Boss, I sent you a photo. Did you get it?" He asked. "Yes Alvin. You can return now. The girl is her younger sister." "Okay, Boss."____CANADA, OTTAWABRENDA'S POV Hearing Rhys words result
ADELE'S POV I walked out of my home to the gate and as expected, Arsenio was by the gate. He had called to let me know he'd be checking on me earlier and I didn't hesitate in letting him come to my place. "Hey Buddy!" I smiled as we hugged. "How are you doing dear?" He smiled at me. "Awesome. Come on in. There's someone I'd love you to meet." "Really?" He raised his brow and I chuckled. "Don't worry, you'll see for yourself." I said and motioned him inside. The moment we both stepped inside my living room, Arsenio's gaze landed on my sister and the words that came out of his mouth got everyone laughing. "Wow! You never mentioned you were a twin, Adele." "We look alike right?" Clara who was stroking Lily's fur on her laps at the moment, asked with a chuckle. "Yeah. So much. The only difference I see between you both is in your hair color. If I'd seen you elsewhere I'd have mistaken you for Adele with the thought that she'd dyed her hair." Arsenio continue
NARRATIVE Adele was busy making sketches in her study when the beeping sound of the intercom interrupted her. She stood up and walked out of her study, past the living room and into her corridor knowing who was at the door. The moment she'd peeped through the intercom, it turned out exactly as she'd predicted. Her sister was by the gate with Arsenio in his car. It was way past 7pm already, trust Clara to keep him up till this time. The moment Adele was outside, Arsenio's car drove inside her compound. She'd opened the gate from inside the house earlier. "Sis!" Clara who was already out of the car squealed, making Adele chuckle as she walked to them. "I wouldn't bother to ask if you had fun cuz I'm sure you did." "Oh, you have no idea. Your boyfriend is such a goal. He's gorgeous, sweet, caring and rich. What more can a girl ask for?" Clara said as she waved the leather bags she was holding so her sister could see. The moment Arsenio stepped out of his car, Clara
NARRATIVE Geraldine was just about to take the elevator upstairs from the first floor_where she'd gone to inspect some newly bought materials, when she heard the sounds of several bikes speeding in the direction of the company's building. DeLa's Fashion House was located not so far from the highway. The building exterior was partly made of glass but all the windows were made of glass. When Geraldine heard this sound, she paused on her attempt of using the elevator and immediately retraced her steps, walking in her pencil skirt business wear to take a look outside. Before she even reached midway towards the exit, several shots were heard in the air making everyone in the building tremble for fear_employees and clients alike. She immediately tried placing a call to the head security outside. "Hello Head Security, is everything alright outside?" "No Ms. It's beyond our control at the moment. These guys outnumber us and they are heavily armed too." "With guns?"
NARRATIVE Alvin speed off in his car in pursuit of the bikers who were immediately taking off after fulfilling their purpose. Several meters down the highway, he brought out a small pistol from the cabinet of the car. With a hand on the steering wheel and the other wielding the weapon, he aimed it out the window at the tyre of the closest biker. His shot made the biker lose control of the bike and somersaulted several times to the floor, the bike laying several meters from him. The others sped off not bothering to check on their injured partner. Alvin immediately stopped his car the moment he was close to the guy. He hurriedly stepped out of the car and walked to the fallen man before he could even think of escaping again. Without a word, he gave him a hard kick across his stomach before he effortlessly pulled him up, taking off his helmet and dragging him to the car._____ "Sis! You're back early. How was work today?" Clara cheerfully asked as she walked down the sta
CARLO'S POV 'Seeing you here now makes me mad! I can't help but imagine how you're here at such a time, makes me think you might have a hand in this! I mean, if you could abandon the woman you claimed to love on the day of your matrimony, what other spiteful thing can you not do? Who knows, you might have staged this also so I can fall for your devious trap again!' Those words kept reverberating in my ears. I keep hearing her angry voice and hateful words in my head.Adele! How could you do this to me?!I raised the glass of beer to my mouth again and in one shot emptied its content. My eyes felt hot, tears blurred my vision as I poured beer again to my glass. I dropped the bottle and picked up the glass from the table, looking into the dark night from my rooftop patio. All I've ever done was love her sincerely, protected and cared for her. How is it that she won't even give me a chance to explain myself? "Hahaha! Hahahaha!!" I laughed out mirthlessly as tears roll
NARRATIVE "Yes, I'm dressed to go to work already. I told you I was gonna tell you if I'd change my mind." Adele waved back at Clara as she walked out of the house. She was on a phone call with Lu Cheng. As she walked towards her car, another car drove to her building and stopped by the gate. "Alright Cheng, I'll see you later then." She said and hung up. She placed the phone inside her handbag and turned to the gate. Adele smiled and walked up to him when she finds it's Arsenio. He'd promised to check on her today. Trust him to fulfill his words. "Good morning." She smiled as she opened the gate for him to enter. "Good morning beautiful. How are doing? I'm sorry about the damages your company suffered yesterday. I hope to hear positively from the police today. "Thank you Arsenio." Adele smiled at him. "I see you're about going to work." Arsenio looked over her appearance and smiled. "Do you mind joining me in my car today? I wanted to stop by your company t
CLARA'S POV I swung my hips along to the music booming loudly from the huge music box I'd brought along. My sister isn't much of a music person so I knew if I wasn't willing to die from boredom at her place, I'd better take my bestie with me. Yo! My bestie is my music box. Currently, what am I doing? Well, I'm dancing my way to the kitchen to get me a glance of milk. I smiled on seeing Adele's pretty photo on the wall before I danced off. The few days I'd been here, I must say I haven't heard Adele mentioned anything concerning her past relationship with Carlo. I've been the one teasing her about Arsenio who's clearly smitten by her or rather, in love with her since -who knows when- I don't know why she wouldn't give him a chance. He's a good guy by every standard possible. Also, I haven't told her that Carlo sent people to the house to ask of her whereabouts several times since three years after she left home. I'm yet to tell her because I don't know how she'll
