“No…it can’t be! It fucking can’t be! If Adrian knew something, he would have told me. “I huffed as I rubbed my chest absentmindedly. I rushed back home and locked myself in my room. I needed to think clearly, maybe there was something that I had missed.My mind kept on going back to our conversation with Isaac, he seemed so sure of himself, like he was just letting me know. I shook my head, sat down on the bed and held my chin with one hand, cracking my head for possible signs that Adrian was hiding something from me.No…. Isaac is just messing with me to shift my attention. Adrian will never lie to me. We’ve been through a lot together. I’m aware of his deepest secrets and he knew mine. He might have been a gangster in the past but surely if he was involved, he would have mentioned something.When I lifted my eyes next, it was approaching dark in the evening. I just realized that I’ve been sitting in the same position, lost in my own thoughts for hours. Isaac’s statement repeated i

Back in my own office, I buried my face in my hands as I thought of the next cause of action. My head ached and the heartbreak coursed through my system like wildfire. It’s one of those situations that you get caged, powerless to escape.Isaac was right. Adrian knew something and he wasn’t telling me. Why?I thought that we’d reached a point where we’d share everything without holding back. I swear, I would have understood his reasons but now he was making matters worse by keeping quiet.The shrill ringing of my phone brought me back to the present. I reached out and picked it up from the table then I placed it on my ears lazily.“Hello …” my voice came out hoarse and low.“Rose …” the moment I heard the voice, my chest rose and fell rapidly. The emotions came busting out of me like a ticking time bomb. I haven’t talked to her for a very long time and she seems to know when to call

As Roman laid in my arms, I felt my heart going out for him. He was so young, so innocent to face the ghosts of the world. If only I could have been more careful with my emotions, he wouldn’t have suspected a thing and then he wouldn’t be hurting this much. No one wants to feel threatened in their own comfort zone.I don’t know how long it took but I finally drifted off to sleep with Roman in my arms. He refused to leave. His arms were tightly wrapped around mine, leaving me no option but to let him curl his little body beside me. I could see his silent plea for me not to abandon him.At the break of dawn, I woke up and found myself alone in bed. There was no any sign of Roman. I vaguely remember him falling asleep in my arms and I wondered where he’d gone to. was I imagining things? Lately, I haven’t been well so it was normal for me to see things that weren’t real.“No…he was here with me last night. where has t

I felt weakness in my feet as I slowly knelt down on the cold floor. Whatever I saw couldn’t be real. Up to the last moment, I had hoped that Adrian will have nothing to do with the case. I had prayed to God to take away the shame from me.Being on the receiving end of betrayal wasn’t fun at all.I sat down with my head between my knees as several thoughts raced through my brain. I lifted the contract and scanned through it again, in case I had seen my own things. But the signature was still there. I could recognize my dad’s signature anywhere.“Something must be wrong somewhere” I muttered absentmindedly as I took out other documents. However, something stood out. The way the first letter was signed was different from my dad’s.It sounded an alarm in my head immediately. “Someone did a perfect job of forging my dad’s signature. Was it Adrian?”I asked as my face turned pale. Adrian was capable

I should have fled the house, disappeared in to thin air but I just sat still on the bed frozen on the moment. He didn’t answer me. He chose to ignore me as he always does. I still don’t know why I was putting up with him.Why can’t I just walk away from him?Why can’t I just ignore the love that I still feel for him?I felt my heart humming on my chest as I laid curled on one side of the bed. It felt cold like it has never been. I was no longer excited to be next to a man who was hiding secrets from me. Even as I heard him walk back to the room, I didn’t lift my head or look his way. I just wanted to avoid him. I wanted to be left alone with my own thoughts.I laid there like a log of tree, cold and stiff, as if I was nonexistence. This was the last chance I gave him and then he blew it up. I’ll never lift my mouth to speak to him again. My mind kept on repeating everything that have happened on my head until exhaustio
