It had been weeks after Kingsley's accident happened and we were finally back in New York, I didn't seem to buy the idea of living in Canada for too long, I did enjoy the time spent there but I felt more comfortable living in the city I knew. Trying to get a job as a nurse wasn't hard in my head but I forgot life didn't work the same way it worked in my head, I didn't want to get my husband involved because he would simply use his influence and I would get the job with respect but that's not the best, I would be treated differently and I might not even enjoy working anymore. I did manage to apply as a nurse for a popular hospital several miles away from my husband's house. "I better hurry up for the interview, can't be late for a job I'm yet to get," I said out loudAfter drinking coffee and eating some cookies for breakfast, I took a bus to the hospital, and on arriving at the entrance, I felt nauseous. This was my first time and I barely knew what to expect, I was pretty sure my int

I Increased my speed on the highway and ever since I drove out of the house, I never felt so comfortable, maybe because this was the first time I was going out with her. The silence that engulfed us in the car felt weird too, it's not like I wanted her to say something though, I just felt we shouldn't be so quiet, we weren't in a cemetery. I cleared my throat to see if she would respond to that, I checked my rear mirror and caught her eyes staring at the mirror too, she smiled and looked the other way. I drove into a popular hospital that wasn't too far from home and she asked me to drive out immediately."why if I may ask?" I asked "This is the same hospital I applied for the position of a nurse, can't treat myself here, let's head to another one please," she said I sighed and reversed the car, zoomed off to another hospital close by, and after switching off the car, she breathed out heavily like someone who was deeply tensed."is everything ok?" I asked"yeah, it is" she repliedI

I stared at her face for some minutes without a single clue on what to do and how to tackle the issue at hand, she seemed to know the secrets I thought no one else knew. She must have been at my wedding ceremony but how did she scale through the tough security?, someone like her wouldn't be invited. "calm down Rose, I'm not trying to blackmail you here but trust me, that would be awesome, can't watch how depressed you will become. I will suddenly turn into your worst nightmare" she said "what do you think I did?, you can run your mouth, expose my identity if you want, but within the twinkle of an eye, you won't see me here" I fired back she sighed and stared into my eyes, I didn't blink for a single second, we kept staring at each other for a while before she smiled like the devil that she was"I'm just playing with you dear, I just want to be close to you. Seeing you walk into the nurse station made me cringe, the wealth within you is more than what this hospital can pay you, wonde

I stood there, staring at him, my mouth was left open and I felt drained of wisdom and strength. I never for once thought I would stand before him again, not after what he did but here I am, looking at his handsome face."Rose, it's been a while!" he said in a deep voice "yeah..., how are you doing..." I stammeredI had lost my sense of reasoning, his presence imposed a great deal on me, I felt so subdued by his charm"I have been surviving, hoping and dreaming of the day I will see you again but at last, Allah answered my prayer," he said I gulped in my saliva and released my evergreen fake smile "come in ladies, forgive my manners" he added I walked inside and was taken aback by the magnificent interior design and the attractive sofa, the 75-inch TV, and the beautiful lights around. He left us in the living room and came back with a glass of milk and some cookies, he served me but I refused to eat and it seemed this action of mine had upset him, his countenance fell immediately"

It has been days since I called my husband, I have been living a peaceful life since I traveled to Dubai, and going back felt nearly impossible, I hung out with Ibrahim a couple of times and it felt so refreshing to be by his side while he touched and nurtured my cute face. I knew what I was doing was wrong, it is a sin before God but who am I to deny my body of its request?, I asked my conscience. Thoughts ran through my mind as I stared at the ceiling of my room, the telephone rang and I answered it quickly."Good morning Mrs Rose, I'm so sorry to disturb you this morning but someone is here to see you," a female voice said Fear gripped me at once, who might that be?, no one knew I resided here for the meantime, or has someone followed me?, I asked myself "is the person a male or female, give me a name too" I repliedmy heart was already racing fast, "I don't remember bringing Ibrahim to this hotel so how could he have known that I resided here?, I asked my conscience again "he i
