The week has gone by so quickly. It feels just like yesterday when I checked into this hotel after coming from Mombasa, and now tomorrow is the kisumu show. I can't believe it, but all the same, I am excited for the show tomorrow. I'm looking forward to meeting Alfa and Nick again. By the way, that collabo I did with Nick came out as I expected. In three days, it has hit three million views, and everyone is gushing about it in the media.I have received a lot of congratulatory calls from my fellow artists, and the comments section on that song is flooding. Not that I don't receive messages on my other songs, but this was something new I did. I was looking forward to hearing people's take on it. I also have a lot of pending interview invitations, which I haven't confirmed yet. Maybe I should work on that next. I am overwhelmed. The whole week has been tranquil. The environment in this hotel is just perfect.I haven't gone outside this hotel for security reasons, especially because I ha

Flash back 5 months ago I am sitting in our humble sitting room with my father, sadness and sorrow written all over our faces. We just buried our mother this morning, and the cause of her brutal murder is still a mystery to us.My dad has his suspicions, but the monster in question is the devil himself. We are afraid that if we try to get justice for our beloved mother, we might end up burying another soul, or he might decide to wipe out our whole family. What hurts the most is that the monster is my very own cousin. Before my mother died, this monster's father had taken her custody as his security that my father would not report their illegal businesses to the authorities. My dad knew so much, making him a threat to the Wells family.Since their efforts to make him part of their dirty businesses didn't work out, as the cunning monsters that they are, they succeeded in taking our mother away. She had to make sacrifices for her family, and she willingly left because the threat they po

I drop to the couch the moment Deep ushers me into his house, closing my eyes and taking in some fresh breath. I know I look pathetic right now—from the messy hair to the red eyes with puffy eyebags due to crying—and I am sure I look so dull, but I won't dare even ask to take a shower. Until I see Mayleen, until I find a way to save my sister, until I am certain that everyone around me is safe, I don't think I will be smiling. "Here, have some." Deep offers me a glass of water, which I gladly take and gulp down in one go. "You want more?" I nod my head, and he disappears to get me more, returning with a jar of water. I take another glass.What has happened in the last twenty-four hours has left me so drained—drained of everything. "Do you feel any better now?" He asks, sitting beside me, and I look at him.How both perfect and imperfect was it for him to come into my life? Before I can answer him, my eyes land on his left hand. A bandage. I hadn't even noticed it. And now I remember t

A beautiful Sunday evening it is, but aside from this beautiful house and the serene environment outside, everything else is grotesque. I am a nervous wreck right now. The plan Paul suggested is kind of not so promising, in my opinion. Forgive my strong urges toward negativity, but I think these people are underestimating this monster way too much. However, since Paul promised no one would get hurt, I will play along, but I have my own plan, and only Mayleen knows. I hope she won't rant about me to her boyfriend, because he will surely rant it out to Deep. When it comes to Ejay, you don't just need a single plan if you don’t want to have regrets in the end. You need plans. There are lots of well-calculated plans.Deep's parents are on their way, and the worst part is that Paul and Mayleen had to leave to go get the evidence they have and for Mayleen to meet her parents. Fortunately, Paul kept them where Ejay couldn't trace them. Didn't I tell you these two are just so sweet? I'm cross

"Everything okay?" I ask Mayleen, and she can't hide the worry in her eyes.She nods her head slightly. "They should be leaving any minute now." She says, walking to me. "Gia, I am worried for you. Are you certain you want to do this?" She adds."I'm very certain, Mayleen." I say boldly. For this plan of mine to work, I need to stop thinking about myself but about the safety of everyone. That is what matters the most."But Gia, you and I know how dangerous this plan of yours is. It can cost you your life, for all we know. Please, Gia, I think you should listen to Deep and let them handle everything." She pleads. We have gone over this a couple of times. I thought she was okay. Then again, I can blame her."Mayleen, things will get messy if I don't do this. And it's not like I'm jeopardizing their plans. I'm just prepared in case their plan fails. I don't want to imagine the kind of news we might wake up to yet again tomorrow if they fail. I'm just taking precautions here. God knows ho
