Loyal

Chapter 55.

"Man e no like woman, woman no like woman
She no be like water, e no get enemy."

"Woman, woman, woman
Nobody be like woman."

Simi Woman.

"Good evening ma." Tiana knelt down greeting her very aged grandmother who sat with her uncles and aunts from her dad's side.

"How are you? We heard what happened to you." Aunty Ajoke asked her softly and Tiana smiled a little.

The news about their kidnapping was all over social media. They weren't able to get the full information about what happened so they left vague descriptions on what happened on the news and on blogs. Even people at work were attempting to ask her about it, but fell back.

"Good afternoon grandma." Jasmine said interrupting any further interrogations about the whole matter.

Everyone had been trying to talk to Tiana about it but she had barely spoken to anybody including James. This was like how she was after her parents died, maybe because of how scared she was when she saw the bullet graze James'arm.

The only time she talked was to make sure everybody was fine. James,Tamara, Deji and Mustapha were who she was worried about when she heard gun shots. One hit James and the other was from the police man who shot at Richard but missed.
(A/N-Ode😂)

They had arrested Richard and his clan and Faith too. Knowing the system of Nigeria, they were going to be in a prison cell for years just awaiting trial.

Nobody knew where Chidera was and the police officers were simply content with the ones they caught and glad that Nigerians could see that they were working.

Tiana sat down quietly as music was playing in the whole house as the whole family gathered for Christmas celebration. Her cousins, aunts, uncles and everybody.

MY SUGAR😋❤️.

Have you eaten now?

Tiana smiled a little because even when she hadn't been talking James was extra with her. He,like everybody else was worried about Tiana thinking about the worst thing that could have been done to her to make her just turn mute.

How's the UK?

Cold.
I miss you baby.
....
Just talk to me..

She could read how he didn't even know what to say anymore. James missed her laughing, smiling, cracking jokes and talking to him about literally anything that pops up in her head.

But how could she?

Her friend who she thought of as a sister,who she believed was her ride and die, who she knew for years, put her in harms way. And the way Richard even touched her but she refused to tell anybody about it since he didn't rape her.

Tiana was a soft babe and really caring person who strongly believes in how you treat people is how they are meant to treat you that's why she made sure everyone around her felt her love for them.

"Sister Folake, Mr James said I should make sure you eat so take." Jasmine said sternly making her chuckle a little. Jasmine handing her fried rice and beef since she couldn't find the chicken in the kitchen.

"I know you don't want to be here neither do I. They just be looking at me like I am proud and now everybody is looking at you trying to be nosy."
