Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 10
No one needed to tell me that I could never marry a man like Ryan.
I had thought that he was an angel.
But that aggressive and self centered part of him, I had not seen it earlier.
Thank God I had waited.
How could he spoil our plans?
How could he???
I had fallen out of love the moment I had seen that side of him.
Raymond didnât contact me for two months.
Was he just being faithful to his friend or just staying away from trouble?
The moment Raymond stopped calling was when I realized that all these while, I didnât have a true friend except him.
Raymond was the friend I never had.
As I walked to Sparkles ladies room to relieve myself.
I saw Grettaâs two friends right there.
Clara and Diana.
Diana was crying and Clara was trying to comfort her.
âWhat happened?â. I asked worriedly.
Diana made eyes at me and looked away. âI donât talk to murderersâ.
Clara met my eyes. âGrettaâs secret book. We read it and found out that our friend had suffered so much and she didnât tell us anythingâ.
Diana glared at me. âBut why? Why did you kill her? She always talked about you. She liked youâ.
âI didnât kill herâ. I managed to say but when I saw that no one was believing me, I walked out of the toilet.
The urine that was trying to press out of my bladder before had disappeared.
I walked into my office and tears filled my eyes.
Hope someone somewhere still believed that I didnât kill Gretta.
SomeoneâŠ
Someone knocked on the door to my office and walked in.
Clara.
She looked pitifully at me. âYou donât have to pay attention to Diana, she is usually rash with her words and she was closer to Gretta than I was. I hope you donât take it to heart that she accused youâ.
I watched her closely. âWhat about you? Do you believe that I killed her?â.
âHave you forgotten that adage? A person that everyone suspects is not usually the killerâ.
Mirabel sent me to deliver an information to the manager in his office upstairs.
As I returned from his office, Ryan appeared at the far end of the stair case .
My heart slipped at the sight of him.
He went on his knees. âI am sorry about what I did two months ago. I am sorry about everythingâ.
âAre you satisfied? Raymond has not contacted me for two months. I donât even know whether he is having a hard time because of youâ.
âWhy do you care about Raymond so much?â.
ââŠwhen i was struggling to change myself, Raymond reached into my soulâ. Tears filled my eyes.
âYou love him? You love Raymond?â.
I walked past him but he held back at my hand.
âAnswer me before you go. Do you love Raymond or not?â.
âWe just barely spent a month together! How can I love someone in just one month?â.
âIs that your only stress? The time you knew him?â.
âYes! I miss him and I donât even know if he is having a hard timeâ. I frustratedly walked into my office.
It was lunch hour.
I headed to the cafeteria.
None of the workers ever sat with me to eat, including Benson, my friend.
The food was bland in my mouth.
As I eat on, I caught Diana glaring at me and whispering âMurdererâ.
It felt so frustrating.
I had changed for good now, why canât anyone still believe in me?
Suddenly, a person placed a tray on my table.
I looked up at the person.
It was Raymond Maxson.
I was nearly out of breath at the sight of him.
I didnât mind my manners, I began to cry like a baby.
He walked to me, wrapped his arm around me and kissed me on my forehead. âIt is alright, Rosa. I promise never to leave your side againâ.
I observed him closely. âAre you okay? How have you been all those while? Did you even eat well at all?â.
He chuckled and squeezed my cheek. âI am perfectly fineâ.
We hugged.
After eating, we trudged to Sparkles parking lot, holding hands.
âWere you able to continue on the case while we were not together?â I asked him.
He cleared his throat. âSteve Austin remained in Nigeria. He didnât go abroad anymoreâ.
âWhy?â.
âI donât know yet. He never visited Nathan since that day that Ryan had spoilt our plansâ.
âWhy?â.
âIt is obvious that they usually meet somewhere elseâ.
I nodded thoughtfully.
We had fun again at the amusement park that day.
âŠand I forgot all my worries.
Raymond had brought light to my dark day.
âYour B.P arose againâ. Doctor Cole told Dominic.
She nodded thoughtfully. âI got myself thinking againâ.
âWhy? Ryan?â.
âNo, my sisterâ.
âWhat happened?â.
âShe still believes that i am part of those that condemn her. She has no idea that I took up this case to prove to the whole world that my sister didnât do what she was accused ofâ.
He nodded. âAre you sure you donât want to tell her?â.
âNo, if I do, she will see more reason to let go of Ryan for me and I donât want her to sacrifice that much for meâ.
âAre you sure you want your sister for Ryan?â.
âWhy not?â.
âRyan is the angel you donât knowâ.
âHow do you mean?â.
âHe told me two months ago that I should do everything to make you fall in love with me so that you can convince Rosa that you donât love me and she can go back to him again. He told me that if I didnât do it, he would sack my parents from KIA motorsâ.
I had just finished making a video call with Raymond that evening.
We had even sang together.
It felt so exciting that Raymond was back for real.
Suddenly I heard my dad call my name from the sitting room.
I rushed to the sitting room.
My sister had just returned.
âThe both of you should sit down! I have something important to tell youâ.
We sat down on the cushion obediently just like we had always done since we were kids.
He cleared his throat. âI met Judge Joel Maxson today, and guess what! He told me that Rosa is a murderer. He told me that he wouldnât mind locking her behind bars irrespective of our friendship! You know why I am telling you this? I donât want you to have anything to do with that man! Dominic, I will find another law firm for you, and you, Rosa, I donât want you to have anything to do with his son againâ.
