Chapter 54 Together again.
As soon as Kunle and Isabella were alone, Isabella folded her arms around her chest and looked elsewhere. The guy should be the one to talk first.
She had looked forward to a time when they would be together again. Now the time has come and the opportunity stared at her in the face, she wants Kunle to talk first.
Kunle sighed and took a few strides, walking to stand in front of her, only being separated by the thinnest distance ever. He was so close to her that they could Perceive each other's breath.
"Isabella, please let's put the past behind us. Let's start all over again, please give me a chance, just one more chance that is all I request of you.
If I had done something unpardonable, please forgive me, please forgive me" Kunle pleaded. Even if he knows he hadn't really done anything to ask her to forgive him, he said it all the same.
It was merely a misunderstanding between them. Isabella refused to understand him and kept referring to his past, she claimed he was seeing his ex.
He was seeing her but not for anything that she thinks. She filled her head with illusions that were not real and assumed he was seeing someone else.
He tried explaining to her severally but she wouldn't believe him. Hence he asked that they go their separate ways. But it was after they separated that he realised how much he loves her.
He tried getting things back to how it used to be, but Isabella wouldn't give him a chance. She kept rejecting him that nothing was ever going to exist between them again.
He had to let go when he saw that she had made up her mind. But he hadn't stopped wishing that they would get back together again.
" The only thing that separated us was your involvement with another woman. Gush, I hate the idea of sharing you with another woman.
Getting back together is scaring me Kunle, can't you get it. I want you all to myself, that's all. If you promise me that the past isn't going to repeat itself, then we can start all over again" Isabella declared.
It suffocates her to think that Kunle was seeing someone else. It makes her feel insecure and she would get depressed and always think he is with the other woman whenever he is not around her.
Kunle punched the space between his eyes. Same thing that made them break up, was exactly what she's bringing up again. Since he knew no one was there besides her in his heart he would give her the assurance that she wanted.
" I promise, it's just you and I alone, no third party" he assured her and without waiting for her to respond, he pulled her into his arms, and held her tight as if he was afraid to lose her.
Isabella crossed her hand around his neck she sniffled and shivered as if she was sobbing already. She missed him so much.
Her lonely nights, her pillow soaked in tears and her wishing that they didn't part was over. She has her man, her love back. Thanks to Tina.
"I love you so much Kunle," Isabella whispered softly. She practically was weeping now, Kunle could feel her tears dropping in the nooks of his neck.
" And me too babe, " Kunle replied. He didn't stop her,but let her pour her emotions out in tears until she was relieved.
When she was finally able to calm herself, she pulled away and Kunle offered her a tissue to clean her tears.
"Better now?" He asked, smiling at her. Isabella smiled and told him she's fine. The two lovers were filled with an indescribable feeling of being back together again.
Kunle cupped her face in his palm and made her look into his eyes, still his beautiful Isabella. He looked into her eyes as well, a feeling of bliss and commitment.
They both smiled at each other and gently, Kunle bent over and took her lips. It was a long, deep kiss, containing the content of how much they missed each other.
Eventually they let go of each other to catch some breath. Kunle hugged her more and told her they have a lot to catch up on. The next day, they would meet.
Sending his regards to Tina, he got into his car and drove off. Isabella stood and waved at him until he was out of sight.
She touched her lips, how great that she gets to kiss Kunle again. It's been a while but now, they are back together again.
She pushed the door open and got in. But Tina had left her room, not willing to disturb her, she gently walked into her room for the night.
Kate Wilson was demoralised. She couldn't sleep. Friends and family came to stay by her side at this critical time of her life.
Daughter died, husband was imprisoned and the daughter's father suddenly appeared and promised to contend with her. All these were too much for her to gulp down at a time.
This was too much coming to her at once. Those who experience just one of such predicaments, lived the rest of their lives telling the tale. But in her case, all came to her at once and no one to share the burden with her.
If her daughter had died from the hands of another man, it wouldn't have been this complicated. But she was murdered by the man her mother imposed on her as a father.
Her husband slept and killed her daughter. The shame, dent and ridicule will continue with her for the rest of her life.
She will never be able to recover from the effect of what had happened. Especially now that Patrick was involved. He had said it publicly that he would fight, and truly he has every right to fight her and would definitely win in the Court of law.
Everyone who came to console her didn't disapprove of what Patrick said. It appears they all agreed with him and see things to be wrong from her perspective.
But if the truth be told, she was indeed Wrong to keep a child away from her father. And when the child grew up and asked her of her father's identity, she denied her.
That was the greatest sin she had committed against motherhood. She denied Kitty and despite that decision estranged her from her daughter, she didn't bulge nor feel uncomfortable with her refusal.
Perhaps Dare was already abusing her at the time. Hence she wants to know her real father. If he loved her as his daughter and didn't commit a sacrilege with her, perhaps she wouldn't have asked.
She wasn't sensitive enough. She should have guessed that something was wrong, but she didn't. She only concerned herself about looking good and monitoring money coming in and going out of the business.
Concerning Patrick,a few people had asked her to plead with him to forgive her. She just needs to plead for pardon. He is right if he goes legal with her.
And from the looks of things, he wasn't willing to spare her. She needs to find him and apologise, plead with him to forgive her.
She sobbed and couldn't sleep that night. She tried but sleep practically evaded her and her eyes were open except for the tears that kept it busy all night.
But, it wasn't Kate Wilson alone that couldn't sleep that night. There was another fellow whose eyes were bright and void of any traces of sleep...
