?SHAINA?
I hestened my steps as I walk back into the room, my heart was beating heavily.
“What just happened” I thought shaking my head at intervals to shrove off the thoughts of what happened.
I closed the door f0rç£fully behind me and let out a de-ep breath.
“What’s wrong….” Olly asked staring at me.
“Nothing… Nothing” I said forcing a smile as I walked to my be-d.
Olly kept staring at me as if she knew I was actually lieing.
“Nothing…..” I finally said and covered myself with the duvet.
?D?
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing… It was Mrs Blake calling I guess she alre-ady saw the email.
“Good Morning Mrs Blake” I greeted.
“You have two minutes to come over to my place now” She said and the line went off.
I exhaled de-eply as I walked into the bathroom with my phone, I knew Andris would be up soon and the very first time she would look for is my phone.
I had a quic-k bath and c@m£ out only to see Andris alre-ady awake, she was talking to herself as if trying to remember what happened last night.
“Hey… You are up” I said pretending I didn’t notice her change in character.
“Hey… Yeah am awake” She said nervously and confused.
“For how long did I sleep last night” She asked.
“Hmmm…. I can’t really remember, I sle-pt off immediately after dinner, infact I can’t remember anything that happened last night” I lied.
“Oh… That’s good” She said adjusting herself on the be-d.
I scoffed silently walking towards the wardrobe, I wore a new cloth and left the room.
?SHAINA?
I walked down the stairs, my mind was occu-pied with the picture of Rocky, our k!ssand everything that happened the previous night.
I began to wish it would just repeat itself over and over again.
“Pretti… Pretti Pretti” Olly called for God knows how many times tou-ching me.
I jo-lted up from the stairs where I was seating holding my che-st. “Jeez you scared me” I said.
“Sorry… I called you but you didn’t answer” She said staring at me.
“So… What’s wrong” I asked.
“Breakfast…. You should go make breakfast” She said pointing towards the kitchen door.
“Okay… Okay” I said and left.
I walked into the kitchen only to see Rocky there.
I smiled to myself feeling very happy.
“Good Morning sir” I greeted. He turned and stared at me, he didn’t say anything and returned to what he was doing.
I stood still staring at him shocked, the joy in my heart automatically turned into anger.
“That’s what I get after he k!$$£d me last night” I thought boiling in anger.
“Why are you still standing there” His voice snapped me out of my thought.
I took in a de-ep breath and walked towards the menu pasted on the wall.
“Fried ch!ps and…….” I was saying when I noticed a hand curve round my w@!st.
I tried to turn but his hand prevented me from doing so “What are you doing sir” I asked.
“What does it look like” He asked gradually taking his hand down to my th!gh.
Although I was enjoying his t©uçhs but I was scared.
“Are you sorry about what happened last night” He asked.
“I don’t un-der….stand” I stuttered.
He turned me towards his face now facing me.
I stared into his eyes, it was now filled with love instead of the usual hatred and boiling zeal for revenge.
I stared into his handsome face, his fake face… I wonder when he would st©p fooling himself with the mask.
“I love you Shaina” I heard him say.
My heart st©pped beating immediately I heard him say those words to me.
“You do…” I asked not sure if it was the right thing to say.
“Yeah…. Or don’t you love me as well” He asked.
In as much as I loved him but I really don’t think it was right, Am an angel and he is a human… I doubt if the deity would allow such to happen.
“I love you too Rocky” I wanted to say but when I opened my mouth
“I don’t know Rocky….” c@m£ out of it, I stared at him thinking he was going to be angry because of my response but surprisely He smiled at me.
“Don’t worry… I will give you time to think about it… Let’s say when I come back, you would give me your response” He said.
I nodded, that was the only thing I could think of at that moment.
He k!$$£d me before he let go of me and left the kitchen.
?ANDRIS?
I stared at the door Rocky just walked out on for close to thirty minutes if not an hour.
“He looks perfectly fine and okay while me, I look so worn out and sick” I thought looking at my reflection from the mirror.
This doesn’t make s-en-se at all if he can’t remember anything that happened last night… Why can’t I remember anything too.
“Did I by mistake eat the food as well” I thought trying to recall what happened the precious night but my head hurts badly whenever I try.
“No… Something is really wrong, Rocky is up to something very bad and I must find out” I said and tried getting up but my head was just too heavy for me to carry.
I gro-an ed and slumped back into the be-d angrily.

?D?
I drove into Mrs Blake’s compound and meet her watering her flower, I exhaled de-eply walking towards her
“Good Morning Mrs Blake” I greeted, she turned and stared at me for a while before she continued with watering her flower.
“What happened yesterday” She asked not looking at me.
“Am sorry…” I said.. I really don’t know what else to say.
“You had better be” She said going into her house, I followed suite.
I stood immediately I saw Siddarth seated.
“What are you waiting for….” Mrs Blake asked.
I gulbe-d ha-rd “Am sorry…” I said.
“What else are you hiding from me” he asked staring at me.
“I emailed everything to you yesterday…. Am not hiding anything else” I said.
“Lets just believe that’s true” he said with a smile, I smiled back and we hvgged each other.
Few Minutes Later….
“So I received your mail Shiva… I and Odeya left that night to check if there is anything in the location and offcourse… There is alot of treasure, your dad must have been a very wealthy man, no wonder Chief Varma was so interested in his treasure ” Siddarth said showing me the video taken.
“So… What’s the plan” I asked.
“The Plan…. Its simple, Andris alre-ady leaked Chief Varma’s secret about planning to kill you, I suggest we act as fast as possible” Mrs Blake said turning her l@pt©p towards us.
“Once Chief Varma gets the treasure, he would surely end Rhea’s life for good and also he might fulfill his promise of giving you access to his secret chamber”
“Now we have to make sure things work our own way…. The blacksmith alre-ady filled a different sto-re with fake golds and diamond… You will take Chief Varma to the sto-re” Mrs Blake said.
“What if he finds out they are fake” I asked.
“Chief Varma is in the habit of throwing p@rty…, just make sure he gives you access to his secret chamber then remind him he hasn’t thrown a p@rty for you and Andris baby, that will del@yhim for a while” Mrs Blake said.
“During the p@rty…. You will add the same poison, Andris added to your food to his food, as for the other guest including Andris.. A slee-ping pill would be enough to keep them down”
“Once everything is set… We would come in a take everything inside his secret chamber replacing them with fake ones…” Mrs Blake said
“And after that…. Game on, Chief Varma would be charged to court and every information inside his secret chamber would serve as an evidence to take him down” Siddarth added.
“But… What if Things didn’t work out as planned” I asked feeling a bit of doubt.
“To ensure it works… Odeya would be one of the chef for the p@rty…. Just do your own p@rt Shiva…. Find out where Andris kept the remaining portion, I will get slee-ping pills” Mrs Blake said.
“Also…. We nee-d Shaina, Since she works for you and Andris, she has to be on our side to help odeya” Siddarth said.
I stared at him and scoffed, “Am not bringing her into this” I said.
?SHAINA?
I walked nervously into Arch angel Deves£na’s office, I knew the reason for the urgent call was as a result of what happened last night and even this morning.
“I hope you know you just broke alot of rules” Arch angel Deves£na asked.
“Yes…” I mumbled.
“And you know the consequences” she asked.
I didn’t say a word to her, to be sincere I alre-ady found myself loving Rocky and the words he said to me this morning shows that he loves me as well.
“Shaina!!!” Arch angel Deves£na yelled ban-ging her hand on t©p of the table.
I stared at her…. She has the power to hear people’s thought so she must have heard me.
“Am sorry…” I mumbled.
“You were told to make him fell inlove with a human and not to fell inlove with him Shaina” Arch angel Deves£na said.
“But they are all the same, you said it yourself Arch angel, you said before am able to teach someone something, I must have learnt it…” I said.
“And the best way to learn love is by felling inlove with him right” She asked.
“I guess… And he loves me too, isn’t that what my mission is all about” I asked.
“He loves you because he thinks you are a human, have you ever imagined how he would look at you if he realize you are an angel huh” Arch angel Deves£na asked.
I kept mute thinking de-eply about what she said…, she might be right but I really don’t care.
“With your love I doubt if you would ever make it to paradise…. And trust me Shaina you would surely depreciate into thin air….out of everyone’s memory including Rocky…” Arch angel Deves£na said sitting down.
I stared at her, I didn’t think about that, even if I did, I really don’t care about going to paradise again, I just found myself wanting to be a human again and I will surely find a way.
“Don’t bother looking for a way to turn into a human Shaina…. The deity is a very jealous person and he doesn’t fail to punish those that offend him… Get ride of that feelings you have and proceed with your mission” Arch angel Deves£na said.
“What mission, why did the deity give me this mission in the first place…. I will surely find a way to be with Rocky and neither you nor your deity can st©p me” I said.
“A word is enough for the wise Shaina…. You must have heard the story of the stubborn angel, don’t allow what happened to her, happen to you…. You have just two weeks to let go of your feelings for Rocky…” Arch angel Deves£na said.
“And what about his feelings for me huh… Am going to give him my answers tonight and I will also tell him everything, That am an angel… I will tell him everything” I said and stomped out of her office even before she completed her s£ntence.
