Chapter 59

ADELOLA IBRAHIM

Its been a long three months, Ntandoyethu hates me and wants nothing to do with me after what I did to him. I've apologised and did everything in my power to earn his forgiveness but nothing. He's also moved on, he's back together with his ex girlfriend who rubs it in my face every little chance she gets that she got the guy, sigh. Look at my life. I did this to myself, if only I had not messed with his head the way I did then none of this would have happened but whats done is done. All I can do is just go on with my life and keep it moving hoping for the best.
"What the hell?" I am startled by someone saying after they have bumped into me. I can already feel his energy, his aura if you will and he is definitely angry right now.
"I am so sorry," I say quickly going down to pick up my paperbag. The way his energy is so strong I can literally feel everything he is feeling. It's a bit strange trying to adapt to my new mistress powers. The ability to have my mother helping me through all of this has been a total bliss but unfortunately after tonight I will never see her again.
"It's fine, I should have been looking where I was going," he says handing me my paperbag. He's definitely feeling something for me, I can feel it. I don't know what he feels for me but there's something. Our hands touch as he hands me my paperbag, he's an immortal. I wonder if he's aware. He looks at me and I look at him. Could this be the soulmate mom was referring to?
"Yes, I've been looking for you everywhere Lola," He says. Did he just read my mind? He chuckles, "Yes, I can hear people's thoughts," Oh My God. Kill me now. "Don't you want to use your words instead of the inner conversation you are having right now? Yes, I am an immortal and I am well aware of what I am and what you are. Its nice to finally bump into you," he says holding out his hand to me.
I place my hand into his, "Its nice to meet you?" I pose it as a question because I still don't know who he is.
"Jaden Igwe," he responds.
"You are the great mistress' son. I didn't know she had a son? Your mother helped my brothers girlfriend and rid her of manipulation," I say and he chuckles.
"Yes, she has quite the reputation." Jaden responds.
"Your mother is a Queen, that would make you a prince. Igwe's are of royal lineage." I point out and he shrugs.
"yeah apparently they are. We've never met because I've stayed away from the mansions and the lives being practiced there. Seeing that there is going to be change soon, I've reconsidered." He says answering what is supposed to be my next question.
"Where do you study?" I ask him and he chortles.
"I am graduating next year actually. How old do I look?"
"I don't know, 18?" I ask and he laughs.
"I'm 20 turning 21 next year Lola. I shouldn't keep you, we'll meet up again when you back from Cape Town," Jaden says taking off his wrist band that has his name on it. "you will return this to me the next time we meet,"

NICHUME SIPHOSETHU MNGUNI

Ntando can be gullible, she can be very childish when it suits her and it bores me. She's too grown for all this childishness of hers. I am tired of constantly having to tiptoe around her trying to spare her feelings and trying to protect her. Its not my job anyway and with the twins here, best believe I am done trying to take care of her ass. Let her get her heart broken if she wants but mna I am done yoh! I am startled by Yemi placing his hands on my shoulders massaging me.
"Breathe," he encourages, I turn my head and kiss his hand. He plants a kiss on my head. "This anger is not healthy. Ntando is your sister, siblings fight all the time but you are a good person and just tomorrow you and her will be back to the way you normally are," he says and I chuckle dryly.
"Nah, I'm done trying to protect a grown ass woman. I have the twins to look after. If she wants to be a fool and be played then its whatever." I say annoyed.
"Well damn, I've never heard you this pissed. Are you and Ntando good?" Yethu asks walking out to the patio. I turn around and throw myself in his arms.
"What the hell?! Where the heck have you been? Three months Yethu? You were supposed to visit me at the mansions and you just disappeared without a trace!" I say pushing him off me. Adeyemi laughs and so does Yethu.
"I'm sorry. Shit came up," Yethu says. "Ade, how are you?" he asks shaking his hand.
"We all good man, how are you? How's school?" Adeyemi asks him.
"Yeah man, school is okay. I'm pushing, you know" He says and sniffs.
"Are you okay?" I ask him.
"Yeah, I'm good. Its nothing," he says. "Where are the little ones?" Yethu asks.
"they are sleeping in the lounge. You can come and see them," I say leading the way inside.
