Cole finally picked Korina's call and when he did, she ended the Call as all her anger came surging back when she heard his voice again.
She slammed the phone on the table and went about cleaning her apartment. It was Sunday which meant no work, no chatterbox and definitely no dragon lady.
She finished cleaning her apartment quickly and got into bed, intending to take a little nap so she won't feel tired when she was out later.
Korina was woken up minutes later by the continuous knocks on her door. At first she ignored the knocks expecting the visitor to get lost but the annoying knocks grew. She groaned pushing the covers away and got out of bed.
She was tying her robe around her as she walked to the door.
"Hey babe." Korina just stared at him blankly not batting an eyelid.
"Is my princess still angry with me?" Cole asked. She made mockery o
"What the hell do you mean you are in England?!" "Korina, you are screaming?" Cole said."Well, I don't care Cole." She growled, "You cancelled on me last minute and fly out immediately like I mean nothing to you. You didn't even give me a notice nor did you tell me anything.""It was an emergency.""What emergency was it?" She queried."I...look Korina, it was important." He replied."That's not the fucking answer to my question." She held the phone to her ear with her shoulder and bent to pick her purse, "What emergency was it?""My mum had a heart attack.""Uhmm...I am..." She stopped before she could say the sorry on realising something, "You just said your mum had a heart attack.""Yes.""Really?" She scoffed, "You constantly brag about how she is very healthy and you are surprised she ain't
"It's just a mild shock." The doctor told Aunt Dido, "The girls would be alright." Korina, Daniella and Anne were in their respective hospital beds staring at the television in the room as the familiar news they already knew about played out before their eyes.Cole Smith's wedding to the Duchess of Sussex was being forecasted live on the television.As they gazed at the screen, Korina was too shocked to cry, Daniella and Anne were too shocked to curse or scream, as a matter of fact their initial shocked response when they first got the news had landed them in the hospital. A blonde reporter related the news. She was in front of the majestic chapel the white wedding had been conducted, as she spoke her thick British accent was evident on every word.'Cole smith, the noble man who had managed to capture the heart of
*warning* trigger self harm If unfair was the word used to describe Korina's life, it'd be an understatement for she knew life was more than unfair to her.As she laid in the bath tub with cuts deep enough to hurt but not enough to kill, she looked at the razor in her hand and at the water turning slightly red crimson, tears flowing down her cheeks.She hadn't done this in a long time but she knew she had to, it gave her a sense of relief, relief from the pain she felt.She looked down at her arms and figured that she would have to put up with wearing long sleeves for a very long time and most importantly she knew she had to see her mother. Korina had never been so pained in her entire life as she was right now. She laid sprawled on the floor besides her mother's grave. She wailed loudly not caring
"What did you do with your hair?" Anne shrieked immediately she set eyes on Korina and Daniella turned to look at her cousin on hearing Anne's voice."What in heaven's name have you done with your hair girl?" Korina rolled her eyes at her best friends as she dragged her luggage along with her."Could you come help me and not hound me with questions?" She told them, "Quit staring at me and no more questions please, I need some rest with absolutely no noise or talks." The girls helped her pick up her luggage without questioning her anymore, they didn't want to piss her off or worsen her mood."How was your flight?" Anne asked as they put the luggage in the booth of her audi."It was fine." Korina muttered, she removed her sun glasses and got in the back seat of the car."Are you hung
She stared at the man in suit, her hands angrily gripping the tray she was holding, at this point she wanted to badly to smack his head with it. She wondered what sound would resonate if she actually hit the tray on his bald head."Do you know who I am?" The man growled, "Have you people here have no respect for people of the higher class?"Korina rolled her eyes at him, really?"Mr Russo." Ms. Susan said calmly, "I apologize, I am so sorry on her behalf." She pleaded with the man.Ass licker, Korina scoffed at them both, both of you are alike."I want that bitch to apologise to me this instance." The man demanded, "I want an apology."Me? A bitch? Korina glared at him and was ready to jump on him and knock some sense into his bald head."Apologise Korina." She got no response."I said apologise now." Th
"You may kiss the bride."As the couple's lips joined, sparkles fell and people hooted, the bridal train sprayed flowers from the sprays they held and every other person clapped.Weddings were usually a beautiful sight, this wedding was also, the decorations, the couples and the guests, everything was perfect and went accordingly.As Korina looked on at the newly weds, she couldn't help but feel a prick of envy in her heart, of course It wasn't a bad thing, she had tried to convince herself that being envious was human nature, it meant you saw something good, liked it and wished you had it, It was only when it turned to jealousy that it was bad.She couldn't help but join in the clapping but as she looked at the couple, she felt her envy turn to jealousy and the jealousy turned into hurt on realising that she might never get involved the the blessed union called marriage or have a stable relationship. Tear
"Damn it!" Ade groaned, he just had to see his best friend make a complete fool out of himself and worse of all Jace still stood there looking like a lost sheep his hand still out and the girls were laughing at him, at them. 'Men be wilding' Korina had to agree with this saying as she laughed, who in the hell walks up to a woman and says 'I wanna marry you please say yes.'"I won't marry you". She scoffed and turned to drag Anne and Daniella away as she left so they wouldn't make issues worse for her."Wait." The strange crazy guy Jace called after her, "you haven't even gotten a chance to know me yet." Korina laughed at his statement, "Well wasn't I supposed to know you before a proposal.""Dip shit." She scoffed still dragging her laughing friends towards the tables, she needed food and cake."Wha
Korina was wondering what had gotten into her, and why she was being nice to a man. She wondered if she had gone nuts as yes was the answer that came from her lips and Jace was currently pulling her to the dance floor.Damn! I must have had too much to eat and drink, She thought as she followed him. Jace felt elated as he wrapped his arms loosely around Korina's waist, he couldn't believe she was actually dancing with him, her arms around his shoulders, finger tips grazing the nape of his neck sent tingles down his spine, he got worried that he'd get over excited and mess things up.He looked up and saw Ade standing in a corner giving him thumbs up and a smile before signalling that he was leaving. "You know I normally don't do this with g
