77-Decisions
“This has not been an easy week…” Francis started conversation after almost half an hour of silence.
“It has…” I said, sighing and then looking out of the window.
“I’m sorry though.” He told me.
“What for?” I asked him.
“The village. I mean I just saw such great potential in that place and these people were not even using it.”
I shook my head. “No Francis, that’s their home. You have no right to decide how you think it should be used. How it is is how they are comfortable living. What you did was so inhumane… but… it’s done already.”
“That’s why I was apologizing.” Francis told me. “And here I am trying to make it up to you by being on your side after every thing.”
“I know you could have

When he came close to me he stood with one hand on his waist and looked at me.“Who was that lady?” He asked me casually.“I just found out that ‘that lady’ is my biological mother.” I told him.“What do you mean?” He asked me with a slight frown.“She gave birth to me, she’s my real mother. Not… not the one I think was my mother.”“Who told you that?”“Does it matter?” I asked him. “I’m 24, and now only I find out who my real mother is.”“I’m 25,” Yoké told me. “I still don’t know how my mother looks like, maybe you’re blessed.”I looked at him for a while, knowing damn well what Yoké was trying to say.I shrugged, hugging my ar

“What are you saying?” I asked her.“I’m telling you, Leticia sent people to steal Rissa from me.” Delilah told me.“Risa?” I asked.“Yes, your baby. The one you gave birth to.” Delilah was now talking like she was all of a sudden normal again. She was sitting up on the bed, she still looked scared, but she was talking to me. Meaning every thing she was saying.“No, mom…” I shook my head and tried a smile.” Risa was… she was born sterile. She… didn’t make it.”Delilah shook her head. “That’s just what Leticia and your father made you believe. Risa was never born sterile. You gave birth to Risa. She’s alive.”“No...” I was trying my best to stay as comforting as I could but this talk was not helping me at all. I felt like
Till Worlds Do Us Part (Book 2) 80-Written message
I looked from the private number on my phone to the police cars swarming into the quad. How was I going to get through to Yoké when I didn’t even know what his phone number was? He had to know that our Rissa was still alive. He had to know that his daughter was missing and we had to find her. But how would I tell him? There was absolutely no way of contacting him.I was standing at the door post with the rest of the family behind me as we watched the police cars enter the house. Real police. Dad tried convincing me not to call them and call the mansion’s police men rather but I knew that the real police would help us find Rissa quicker. The mansion’s policemen would be too busy trying not to cause a scandal to find my child, whereas, my child missing, with no clue where to find her whatsoever was a big enough scandal already.The police officers got out of their vans but stayed at their doors. Only three walked up to us. Two were

He didn’t stop the car, just continued driving.“Nathan?” He didn’t answer. He took another route than the GPS was showing. “Nathan, please stop the car.”He began shaking his head, driving even faster. “They just… these villagers just don’t listen!”“Can you stop the car please?” My voice was now shaking. I was so scared.After driving and driving he finally slowed down and pulled up on the side of the road. He began laughing. I never thought that I would feel so scared around Nathan, ever. I quickly tried to open the car door but it was locked.“Oh, Geny, Geny…” He said, resting his head on stirring wheel and then slowly turned it to look at me.“Can you let me out, please.” I asked him.He stopped laughing and looked at me, his face very serious now.“I’ve tried everything I can, as a man, to make you love me. I really have.” He began telling me.

I looked over at Nathan slowly as he simultaneously did the same.“Did you see the relief on your face?” He asked me. He did not look happy. He looked angry. “Why are you like this, huh?”“What?” I asked him, my voice trembling.“You wanted them to stop by us right?” He was asking me, didn’t look like he wanted me to answer that though. You know, it’s just sad. So sad that being far away from me would make you so happy whereas it’s the total opposite for me.”I didn’t say anything, saying something felt like the worst idea right now, the sadder he got, the angrier he looked and the more aggressive he sounded. With that gun in his hand, I couldn’t trust any of those emotions.“What is it going to take for you to love me?” He asked me. “What, do you want me to hold a gun to your he
Till Worlds Do Us Part (Book 2) 83-Waiting for me
When I got back to my senses, my first instinct was to unlock the doors and get as far away as I could from this car and Nathan. Nathan was still crying out in agony, trying to ease his pain by clutching onto his wrist with the unharmed hand. I reached out and pressed the unlock button on the stirring wheel. He didn’t try to stop me, just continuing yelling in pain. I opened the door on my side. As I was about to step out, I remembered, Nathan was our only way to getting Rissa back. I reached into his suit pocket where I had seen him put his phone back after the call with one of his men.“What are you doing, Genesis?” He asked me but did not try to fight me off. “Help me.”I began searching the pockets of his jacket for the phone.“Help me, Genesis.” He said again, looking at me helplessly as I searched his pockets. “I love you.”“Freeze!” I looked up to see a policemen on Nathan’s si
Till Worlds Do Us Part (Book 2) 84-He's life matters
When they got out of the car and came to open the door for me, I didn’t even try to fight them off, what was the use? No matter how much I would try, they’d still have the upper hand. And besides even if I manage to get away, how do I get home without a cellphone or money? There hasn’t been a building in sight since we’ve hit the road.“I’ll walk myself.” I told them as they opened the door for me.They exchanged looks. What was it with these two and looking at each other as if they could pass little messages with just one glance?“Look, if you try to run, we won’t go after you,” The male officer told me. “The distance back is not walkable, you’ll starve out there and die and then your family will never hear of you again. So don’t try anything stupid, okay?”I didn’t respond.“You have a better chance of surviving this than running away.” The lady

“Come here, my love.” Nathan told me. “Come take a seat next to me.”“I don’t want to sit next to you.” I told him. “I want you to tell me which plane Yoké is planning to take and when.”“Gen, your dad will always choose me over Dan. Look, all this is a misunderstanding. Once I speak to him things can go back to the way they were. We could still get married and what happens today would never come to light. We’d still be the world’s favorite couple.”I didn’t even know what to say to him. “Are you crazy?” Those were the only words that could leave my mouth.“I’m crazy about you, yes. My fiancée.”“Nathan, tell me which plane Yoké is planning to take. Please.”“Why do you need him when I’m here?” He asked me.Just then, two cops walked in."Is he ready for us now?" One asked."Yes, sir." One of the nurses answered."Okay." The policeman said and began unlocking the cuff on Nathan's arm to the bed.
