"You live your life with a sense of guilt. You have to do something good. You have to earn the right to be here."~ThomasI open my eyes and I'm in a comfortable king-size bed and my eyes scan the room that I'm in Anna's room. I sigh and sit up on the bed. I barely did anything before falling asleep last night. I was too exhausted to even think about everything that took place at the dinner or the little talk I had with Eli. Maybe I shouldn't have said a thing about Keffi because even he was oblivious to how she felt about him until I blurted it out last night. As far as I know, Eli's heart and commitment to the wedding is what Anna told me to keep them constant, even if she might not make him happy at the end of the day.He seems happy with the idea of her though.After putting on my shower cap, I make my way into the bathroom and after a quick debate about whether or no

"Home is where you are loved the most and act the worst."~Marjorie Pay Hinckley"Anna?" Eli's voice calls to me after I become blank for a moment thinking about what my prison cell would look like and how I would feel about my cell mate while in there because I am sure that's where I was going to find myself in the morning. The stories I heard of prison life weren't nice, at least that was why Ade vowed never to go back there again.I snap out of my thought, "I meant to say, Hello, it's Anna, still practicing." I try to come up with the fastest lie and pray it would be believable. My hands are shaking, my teeth quivering and in my heart, I am saying a silent prayer to God that he keeps my cover safe. "Thank God you called, Eli, I was beginning to worry. I thought the flight would take seven hours at most?" I ask, trying to change the subject and my voice is still tensed and nervous and

"Nothing can wear you out like caring about people."~S.E. HintonAs the door closes behind Rosalinda, I pull out my phone and I dial Anna's number. I needed to tell her things were out of control and let her know I was the cause of it and also for her to know what I was about to do, I felt like she needed to hear it from me and though she hasn't said anything in the last few days, I know she knows what has been happening and at least now I come out with it.Anna told me that the closer I got to those around Eli, the more my chances of exposure was but this isn't about me getting caught which was a very good thing, this was about me making someone happy and I don't know if that exists in Anna's dictionary but she had to include it. Nothing has gone according to plan since last week and eighty per cent of it wasn't even my doing, and so I need her to listen to what I have to tell her.

"The worst way to miss someone is when they are right beside you and yet you know you can never have them."~Anonymous¶¶I stare at myself in the mirror wearing a long red gown while trying to tuck my slightly protruding tummy by pulling in my muscles and stretching my back a little.Mitchell happened to be a guy contrary to my first thought and he brought out the red gown, telling me it would be perfect and when I put it on, it further proved his point. He picked out a silver scarlin shoe and a red clutch out and they went with them perfectly. At my request, he brought out a silver coloured glove which I know Anna would love.My face has about the right amount of make up it needs and thank God that I was already good before I met Anna weeks ago otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch up as fast as I did. I dug my feet into the three-inc

"Love is shown in your deeds, not in your words."~Fr. Jerome CummingsRule #9 be by yourself as much as possible.My eyes peel open at the ray of sun on my face and moving around in bed grumpily, I discover that there is one less person in bed. Eli is already gone out of the room without my knowledge. He probably thought it would be best to let me sleep undisturbed.When he said he wanted me to stay the night, I thought he meant engaging in passion-filled moments, but he was referring to spending intimate time together and that's what we ended up doing.We stayed up pretty late last night, cuddled against each other and talking and relating with ourselves. Sight, as we hope, will stay under Aiden pharmaceutical for at least five years before even considering selling any of its shares. It was a smart move and I am glad that that was the choice they made.
