She tried to walk away...
Pulling her closer to himself, he wrapped his arms around her. He bent low and gently, he took her lips in his...
Slowly, they disengaged and her eyes fluttering open, she looked up at him with surprise evident in her eyes
She stood there dumbfounded as the evening breeze blew while he looked at her expectantly
Her eyes turning glassy, she broke the comfortable silence
"I-I can't marry you" she stuttered; the tears took its course freely as it rolled down her cheeks
"Why?" he asked
"I... I don't want you to die" she sobbed...
...He called her name softly, cupping her tear stained face in his hands...
"You aren't responsible for his death, you and I know that..."

Blossom and Bloom Graceful and Tender - She couldn't believe her ears, or her eyes. Her husband, the man she loves, the father of her unborn baby, was asking for a divorce. "Mason," She stammered, but he held his hand up in the air. "I'll arrange a place for you and our child to stay, I'll send weekly support for the child. Just sign the papers," He urged her and handed her the pen. She took it hesitantly, hoping that this was only a dream, she prayed to wake up. "I love you," She whispered and signed her name on the allotted space. And though she would miss him, she knew better than to fight for a man's love. Somehow, he didn't love her anymore. It hurt her heart, but once a man made up his mind, nothing could make him change his mind. She even knew that much. She placed the pen down and walked to the door. "Goodbye," He looked up from the papers and smiled. "Be on your way," And with those final words, her heart crumbled into pieces. - Let the story of Vanessa Grace take you on a journey of transformation. - The Clean Reads Collection Are you looking for a clean read with Christian themes?

"What is your name? " he enquired with a staid expression. Obi's eyes roamed around still trying to ascertain the safety of their current surrounding. Her lips were still quivering out of shock and her breathing distorted. "Obiukwu" She finally let out still battling with unsteady breathing. He adjusted the cuff of his pristine white shirt and helped her up. "For a girl with a boy's name you certainly do not think like one. Usually when a female dog comes after you, you don't run towards her young puppies, you run far away from them".

"Leave me alone, Dianne!" I protested, shaking my cousin's hand off my shoulder. "Mirabel, I'm only trying to help. Think about it na. Your dad is dead and your mother is insane...!" "...my mother is not insane...!" I screamed at her, raising my previously bowed head. Still calm, Dianne smiled at me, "How long will you keep lying to yourself?" "Stop!" I warned - more like pleaded - dramatically turning my gaze from hers. "I'm only trying to help" "Don't" came the response, "Please...leave me" I begged once again. Dianne shrugged in surrender and stood up. She silently walked to the door. I felt her turn to get one more look at me, her distressed and depressed cousin.
