His Fall, My Realization: Two

Chapter TwoMikaela:It was now eleven pm.I stayed in the waiting room at the hospital, exhaustion getting the better of me but even though I convinced myself that I needed to sleep and face whatever life had planned for me the next day, I just couldn't sleep.No matter how hard I tried, every foot step kept me active.My eyes became heavy.Soon, a man came in from outside, approaching me.“Are you okay?” He asked.I hummed, forcing a smile. “Yeah. Thanks.” That was a lie. But if I said I wasn't, there was nothing he would do about it other than saying ‘Oh, I'm so sorry about that’.He placed his hand on my shoulder. “It's so good to see you strong. Hang in there. I'm sure your husband will be strong too. Maybe not for himself, but for you. Any man would survive, remembering he has a beautiful wife believing in them. Just believe in him, okay?”I hummed.Just what the fuck did he want? I wasn't up for bullshit.“Could you please come with me, miss? There's something important we have

His Fall, My Realization: Three

Chapter ThreeMikaela:My phone pinged in my hand. For some reason, it had been pinging all night but I refused to check since my phone was the last thing I should be paying attention to.“Why don't you go ahead and check your phone?” He whispered before pulling away a little, giving me space to breathe.My palm was so sweaty that my phone almost slipped out of it.I took in a deep breath, staring at the lock screen notifications.It was some bunch of messages from Grandma.Grandma? The head of the White family? This was unusual. She never reaches out to me so this was just off.I gulped, clicking the notification to navigate into the chat.‘Jimmy is dead.’.Jimmy? One of our family members.My heart skipped. Not because of the Jimmy news but because that was only the first message. There were a lot more messages below, and it kept reading names of men I didn't even know existed in our family, and they were all dead.My eyes widened, my brain freezing.‘Come to the family house, now

His Fall, My Realization: Four

Chapter FourMikaela:My eyes widened.Realization hit me.The blacks didn't kill the men. She did. She fucking killed them because they all refused to fight for the family.She cocked the gun. I raised my hands in defeat, my head lowering.“Before you die. At least you deserve to know the history.”†_†_†_†_†_†_†_†_†_†_†_†_†Author Note: Hi, Darlings. Here we go again, on another rollercoaster flashback journey, explaining what initiated the rivalry between the White Family and the Black Family decades ago(Fifty Eight years ago to be precise).

His Fall, My Realization: Five

Chapter FiveKaren:I turned back quickly but to my surprise, no one was there.I must have been imagining things.Finally, it was Thursday. The day I had long awaited. I had sent my letter to the editorial headquarters and I couldn't wait to get a response from James today.I got to the shop by six thirty, and waited until eight o’clock.“Good evening, America! Here we are again. This is ‘Fashion Forward’, your weekly window into the world of style, elegance, and everything en vogue!! As promised, today isn't just another day of fashion talk.” The host began, sitting on a sofa. “Today, we have with us...” The camera zoomed away from him and revealed the other Sofa right beside his.As expected, the chair was occupied by James.“none other than the dashing, the daring, the ever-distinguished… James Black!” He raised her voice, and an applause effect came in. “Mr. James, say Hello to America.”“Good day, America. I'm James Black and it's an honor to be here today. Thank you all for you

His Fall, My Realization: Six

Chapter SixKaren:I wasn't going to watch another woman take my place, so without wasting time, I stormed towards them, blocking their path.I didn't care if I was causing a scene but I wouldn't let her impersonate me. No other woman would have James if not me.Her eyes squinted in confusion or maybe fear.James stepped forward, protecting her.That was supposed to be me.“Could you please step out of the way, miss?” James asked.“James, can I-”He cut me off, “I'm sorry. I'm not giving out autographs to fans. This restaurant is meant to be exclusive. I came here for a date. Please respect that and step aside.” He tucked his hands into his pockets, striking a confident pose.“She isn't Karen! I am!!” I raised my voice, barely letting him finish.The lady scoffed, and topped it off with a nervous laughter.James turned his head slightly to look at her. She didn't say anything. Of course, she couldn't.He stretched his hand towards her, requesting an answer.She shook her head in denia

His Fall, My Realization: Seven

Chapter SevenKaren:He leaned forward even more, smirking. “Marry me. Not for love. For something much bigger.”My breath caught.This should be a prank, right? Or a joke?I forced a laugh, expecting him to crack up with me too but his face remained serious.“What's so funny?” He raised a brow.I cleared my throat. “Sorry?”“You heard me. Marry me. Not for love. Let's get into a contract marriage.” He repeated.Shutting my eyes, I shook my head, still unable to believe my ears. “I’m sorry but what?”“My mother wants me to find love so badly and honestly, I haven't been so interested in a lady lately. Aside from a casual conversation, I don't see myself doing any other thing with a woman.”Stammering, I mumbled, “But you used to have a girlfriend. I don't understand what changed. Did anything happen between—”He cut me off, “That shouldn't concern you, Karen. I asked you something. Will you marry me or not? Please, let's make this quick.”I stretched my hand across the table and held

His Fall, My Realization: Eight

Chapter EightKaren:My heart shattered, like a hard punch had been delivered to my guts.My fingers trembled as I dug my nails into my scalp, my chest rising and falling rapidly.I gulped, my stomach twisting. The tears I had been fighting to hold back slipped out.“What?” my voice was barely above a whisper, as light as a feather.My Mother?!That wasn't possible.She was strong. She was a fighter. She was a warrior. She couldn't die. Even during the worst days, she didn't give up. She held on tight. She promised me to survive. She promised me to be strong.She promised me she would make it through.How much worse did it get? It was already at its worst when I left. How much new pain did she have to endure?I shook my head in denial vigorously, my neck almost snapping.No.No.No!!My mother was all I had. My last family. My last hope. My comforter. My bulwark.She was the only reason I wanted to build a family and change the generational story of poverty. I wanted to change our fat

His Fall, My Realization: Ten

Chapter TenKaren:We met in the old factory building. The one no one ever visited. The cash funds were already converted, packed in briefcases. It was time.They were all there: the secretary, the manager, the head of tailoring, the security head, and the new accountant I’d bought in.I stood at the front, dressed in black trouser and a loose blouse. The only sound in the room was the echo of my heels.I set the briefcases on the table.“It’s done,” I said.Everyone went still.“We move tomorrow. Flights are booked. Different airlines. Different routes. All under new names.”“Tomorrow?” the accountant blinked. “You sure it’s safe already?”I tilted my head. “Would you prefer we wait until James double-checks the bank statements himself? Or until the we get busted around next week?”He shut up.I pulled out a folder from my bag and handed each person a large brown envelope.Inside was:– A fake passport with their new name.– A one-way ticket to Lagos, Nigeria or Accra, Ghana.– A lett

His Fall, My Realization: Eleven

Chapter ElevenUnknown Character:My eyes widened as I stared at the TV screen.‘The Black Family found dead today’ The headlines read as the host spoke but his words didn't sink in. It all came as a muffled sound.I gulped, fist clenching, knuckles white.I only knew one Black family and that was my family.James. Oliver. And Mother.I left America when I was just five years old to stay with my Father in Europe after he and Mother separated. They took my mother's last name, Black. While I took my Father's last name, Hills.Even though we were distant, they were still my family and there was no way three people of the same family could be found dead, all in one day without an explanation to it.That was just fact.And I would stop at nothing to dig for the truth.The entire week, I prepared my flight back to America and went to the companies before anything.Anyone who killed the entire White family had something to do with the business.And I remembered James mentioning that he was s
