All Chapters of Aaliyah’s Return : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

After the break the news resumes and I am glued to my seat “Good afternoon viewers. We are back after a short commercial break, it’s time to resume the news.” One after the other, she touches on other subjects, and I barely pay attention until she is on the last topic. I sit up straight and clutch Brandon for dear life. My heart is beating so much I feel as if its drowning all the sounds from the televison . . I keep my eyes glued to the screen . The news correspondent is talking, but I can barely hear the words. Every other sound in the room is non -existant . Sounds like the ticking of the clock in the hallway , the faint hum of the air cooling system , even Noah’s soft breathing it all fades away. “We have some very exclusive information about one of the contenders for governorship in New Manhattan, Manhattan City. A man by the name of Mr. Morgan Clark. Information reaching us is that he was and he still is a Drug gang leader and involved in multiple illegal drug rings. We ha

Geena's POV MEANWHILE GEENA’S staring out the window as her RED CADILLAC IS being driven up Rhodesway drive gate. …… I am so upset by this whole ordeal. I hate how calm Aaliyah sounded. I still think she was involved in the leak, but I have no freaking proof.Then I remember something. I scroll through my phone until I find oh yes Amelia Winthrop, Brandon’s supposed fiancée. We are not exactly friends, we only see each other at the country club, but we have a common goal now, so here goes nothing.She picks up on the first ring. “Geena, how are you dealing with these god awful lies the media are spilling?” I sigh before answering. “It’s been hard, Amelia, but hopefully the media team handles it swiftly. I just wanted to let you know Aaliyah is back in your territory… with your man.” Amelia scoffs. “The Luna told me not to worry. It’s just because of Noah. He will never choose her.” I laugh, sharp and bitter. “Not from the looks of things. Have you seen how cozy they

Amelia quickly lunges for me, I scream, paralysed by fear. I do not even attempt to move because I know I won’t make it. I close my eyes cover my stomach waiting for impact, because I know she will strike to kill not to hurt me. My heart is pounding so hard and I start praying fervently to the goddess somebody… anybody… Please help me. Protect me from this crazy she-wolf. Please, I beg silently, I really don’t want to die like this… I really don’t. I feel a huge body shift her to the side, both of them crashing into the side table, breaking it into pieces. The sound of splintering wood echoes in my ears, ringing. I open my eyes slowly to see my saviour and it’s Gabe! Oh, thank the goddess. I have never been so grateful to see him. Never. Relief floods my body and my knees almost give out. My hands are shaking badly and I feel a small glimmer of hope amidst the chaos… just a flicker. Gabe growls at her, releasing his energy, but she fights back. She is also a daughter

I awake to Noah’s small hands snuggling into me, and I almost weep from the sheer joy of it. The fact that I am still here to be able to enjoy this, knowing fully well that a few hours ago I nearly lost my life to a deranged she-wolf. Fear courses through me, making me start to shake uncontrollably. Noah stops snuggling and asks innocently, “Mummy, are you cold?” His innocent face scrunched with worry. I answer him softly, feeling a tad bit guilty that I made him worry. “A little bit, honey. Please, can you get the air conditioner remote?” “Okay, Mummy.” He gets up and brings the remote to me. “Thank you, Noah.” I kiss his head. I turn off off the air conditioner, and my tummy rumbles loudly. Noah laughs and starts singing, clapping his hands, “Mummy is hungry, Mummy is hungry…” I laugh at him. “Yes, honey. Mummy needs to eat. Come on, let’s go and find some food and your dad, while you tell me all about your day.” He swings my hand gently, and we head down the s

Desmond and Shawn left in his private plane the very next day. I kept up with Morgan’s scandal on X,Facebook, and Instagram, but it pretty much died a natural death after his conference. The gullible people fell for his act, and his ratings are slowly climbing back up. I haven't heard from Geena thankfully and Amanda hadn't reported any more harassment… Meanwhile, in the lure of Amelia’s attack, Brandon took some very drastic actions. I have been kept under lock and key for several days. I am not allowed out of the house, not even to take a walk around Brandon’s property which is something I did every evening as he has a very lovely fruit and herb garden. I always stop and admire the rows and rows of lemon trees, apples, and grapes. They also grow some spinach, habanero and oregano. There is nothing like the aroma of fresh spices grown in a backyard. Brandon has also been working from home. He wouldn’t budge at all, even though Gabe was on foot to protect m
