Chapter four

Through out the whole night, I kept thinking about him and his silly actions.

"What nerves he got ?!" I asked questioning myself one more time.

I imagined he would be in his graduation party since it was common among the rich. They would hold a surprise graduation party for their children as a way of honouring them through out all their struggles in college.

But here I was, laying on my bed after having some salad breads and cheese with my normal black coffee .

As usual, it had become my norm to have such foods .

But there was something special about those foods , it was my mum's special recipe made with love .

I couldn't care if I ate it repeatedly because I was content with everything I had.

I didn't feel bad if a huge party was held for me or not, because having my mum and aunt by my side was just more than enough for me.

I thought as I gave a smile to myself.

I imagined he would be having so much fun with all the beautiful girls around him admiring his beauty.

"Awwwn!" My stomach hurt badly just with that thought in mind but why?

I asked myself not even getting answers from any of those questions.

I walked through the large halls admiring the beauty of the empire I was in.

That cool refreshing air that came from the garden kept me cold and chilly.

I wore a red gown and styled my hair into a pony tail with my red high heels .

Of course, not forgetting to paint my lips red.

I walked into the garden and sat on the swing as he came from behind and started to pull the swing enjoying the cool breeze.

I enjoyed his presence around me very much so I fell into his arms to receive his warmth embrace.

His daisy eyes caught my attention and just as our lips were about to meet, I quickly ran through the large halls to hide but unfortunately I slipped and just as I was about to fall, I fell into his arms again.

"Oh no!" I said, he chuckled and also said "how long will you run? "

I felt my stomach hurt again and suddenly we were in the dance hall where he fell on his knees and asked me for a dance.

Everyone kept starring at us, as if I was Princess Cinderella and he was my lost love Prince.

I did well in dancing but tonight was just different, I wonder where I got the urge to make such dance moves.

Maybe, it was because it was with my crush , I said .

As I fell into his arms and as usual, his gaze to mine.

He led me to a very cool place in his empire void of noise and filled with silence.

"Clinton!"

"What are we doing here in this beautiful garden?"I asked throwing my eyes about .

The garden was very beautiful, filled with red and white roses .

There were other sweet scented flowers that sent a chill down my spine.

I had never been at such a beautiful place before in my life.

"Liza!"

He turned to look into my innocent hazel eyes as he saw that I was lost in my thoughts .

He held me by my waist from behind and there, I was back on track.

His arms around me while inhaling his spicy rossy scent gave me a sinful smile on my face as I seemed to have wanted something more.

"You will have something more and beautiful as paradise if you agree to be mine, Liza!"He said in a gentle whisper into my ears.

"Liza!" Just the thought of him mentioning my name once again sent chills down my spine.

I turned around, once again, looked into his eyes which always caught my attention with his in mine, asking,

"WHY ME CLINTON?"

He chuckled and said," true love only deals with the heart and for whatever you are, I'm willing to complete my fate in life with you!"

I embraced him in a tight hug with tears flowing down my cheeks upon hearing his words because all the men who had come into my life sometime ago, wanted to have their way with me.

But he was exceptional and that is why I loved him. Yeah, it dealt with an issue of my heart as he said so I needed to find my sole mate patiently, I thought pulling away from his embrace and just as our lips met, all I could see was darkness around and before the lights were turned on, I saw Clinton laying down in a pool of blood.

His gaze into mine, he said," I LOVE YOU LIZA!" as tears run down his cheeks as well as mine.

His body had become lifeless and my hands were covered with his blood.

"No ooooooooo!!!! "I shouted as I woke up from my sleep . My mum entered my room without hesitation and I gave her a tight hug as my body was covered with sweat and tears running down my cheeks and body.

It was as if I had been running a hundred metre race or better still, being chased by a cheetah.

My bed spread was soaked with sweat as my mum tried her best to keep me calm.

"Relax!" she said.

"It was just another nightmare!"I thought hugging her tightly.
