《Destined Hearts》CHAPTER 40: TROUBLE IN PARADISE
Advertisement
The driver packed the car at our destination. It was a fancy looking restaurants and I'm definitely sure it a 5 star restaurant b'coz of how lavishing it looks. Sadiya and I got down from the car.
The driver also came out from the car and I turn to talk to him
" Sani, please make sure you don't go anywhere wait up for us, we won't take long. "
" OK hajiya"
"Good, just a matter of some minutes we will be out"
He nodded his head.
Please ya Allah don't make Amir finds out about this.
I sigh, I don't like lying to Amir but how will I tell him that his ex fiance was back and I'm going out to see her. To me it look somehow if I tell him. I know it doesn't mean anything but I definitely know that I have to just mention Aisha's as his former fiance before he would understand the person I'm talking about. So, to avoid any awkward situation it's better I don't tell him for now.
I held sadiya's hand as we both work towards the entrance. She kept shaking her head at me b'cos she didn't agree with the fact that, I had to hide this from Amir.
" you don't need to lie Ameera, I don't even know why you want to keep this from yaya" said a confuse sadiya
" you just won't understand "
" then make me understand, oh! Wait. "
I turn to look at her surprised face.
" what? " I asked
" Don't tell me it all because Aisha was supposed to get married to him. Don't tell me you're jealous of Aisha?you're scared that my brother might like her ? Especially now that she is back? " sadiya ask with wide eyes
I lightly chuckled at how she looks. How could she think of something like that? I'm not even jealous of aisha not even the slightest. I know Aisha is madly in love with my brother and even if she wasn't in love with my brother I wouldn't still be jealous b'cos I trust her. Why will I even be jealous of her? I don't even know what brought jealousy to this matter?
" Gosh sadee baby, you think too deep. How will you think of something like that? " I rolled my eyes
" I know ,nothing like what you said is going to happen. I trust Aisha and I also trust Amir. Even if what you speculated was right, I'm not going to fight it b'cos we all know that Amir met Aisha first before he met me. The only thing that would pain me is our plan whi --" I quickly shut up. oh Allah, I almost spill the secret.
" what plan are you talking about? "
I gave her a forced smile " it's nothing, I'm only saying nonsense. Let just forget the matter"
" OK o, but all I know is that you should give yaya a credit, he wouldn't even look at any woman. That man is seriously in love with you ameera. Please don't start hiding things from him. "
This girl still don't understand me.
" let just end this conversation here, I promise to tell him about my whereabouts when I get home. Am I free to go now? "

" oh yes, you're free madam"
" then let's get moving if not Aisha is going to burst my brain for coming late "
We quickly enter the restaurant, Aisha already texted me the table number. We asked a waitress to direct us.
She was already waving and smiling like a mad woman at us from where she was sitting, this girl is seriously crazy
" your friend is so funny"
" I'm telling you, you haven't even seen anything " she silently laugh
When we got to our table, Aisha pull close for a bone crushing hug.
" I c-an't bre-ath"
She released me from the hug
" God, I miss you so much. Look at you, you're glowing " a happy Aisha said.
" why, thank you" I said in my fake British accent. We all laughed at how funny I sound.
" well, you aren't looking bad yourself "
" oh, stop pulling my legs. Me that was on house arrest." she pouted and I squeeze her cheeks
" hey stop that" she hit my hand, sadiya was laughing at our banters.
" anyways, meet sadiya my new friend, sadiya my bestfriend ,aisha"
" nice meeting you, sadiya" she went forward to hug sadiya, sadiya hug her back.
" nice meeting you too. Although I've heard alot of things about you from Ameera"
" hope they are all good thing" Aisha smirked
" Trust me, they are all good"
" alright then, let's have our seat" we all sat down, the waiter came to asked for our order then later left to bring it.
" Gosh I'm so happy to be here , I miss the outside world so much. Can you believe that my aunty who I trust so much also agreed with my dad on this house arrest of a thing" said an annoyed looking aisha
I chuckled at her "See this girl fa, you better be happy daddy didn't do something worst than that"
" yeah you're right. I really miss ya kabiru "
" He also miss you"
" who is ya kabiru if I may ask" asked sadiya
"Do you remember my fair brother?" she nodded
" That's who she is talking about, she loves his like craze " I pointed at Aisha
" hey stop making me blush already. What about you sadiya who is the lucky man in your life? " Aisha asked.
I laugh out loud,it's now sadiya's turn to blush
" His name is Khalifa, amir's friend." I was the spoke person.
" I wasn't talking to you, abi is your name sadiya" I playfully rolled my eyes at her.
Well,our conversation continued like that. Aisha told us all about her house arrest and few of the people she met .sadiya also join our conversation, she gives out her opinion once in a while. At least now I have two bestfriend with me, I'm so happy and blessed for having this two in my life.
""
" so, how is marriage life " asked Aisha. Sadiya already excuse herself to the rest room.
" well, as you can see I'm happy. I found my happiness in Amir"
She smiled at me
" I'm so happy for you Ameera. All this days, I've been living with guilt throughout my stay in Abuja. I have always wanted to call you but due to the punishment I couldn't. I'm so sorry Ameera for not even trying hard to call and asked about how you were feeling all this time" she look sad

" hey, don't say such nonsense. Look at me, I'm happy where I'm right now. I'm happy with Amir, he is the best thing that ever happens to me." I held her hand in mine
"The breathe that I breath is him Aisha, I love him" she look surprise then squeal.
She round the table to hug me
" I'm so happy for you my friend. This is a goodnews"
" and here I thought I'll meet a sulking Ameera when I come back. That mean our plan was meant to happen"
" yes, I'm happy that it works out between us"
" But Ameera, don't you think you should tell Amir about the plan? " asked aisha
" yes I know, I've been thinking about that lately . He has the right to know"
She nodded at me with a smile
" please do, don't let secret like this come between the two of you" Aisha said
" I promise I'll. He-- "
Aisha quickly shake her head at me, indicating that sadiya is coming over. I quickly shut up
" what did I miss? " asked sadiya
" You didn't miss anything, Ameera was only telling me about how your brother was the reason for her glowing"
" hey, " I drawled out
" I'm telling you. You haven't seen anything Aisha, They both are good for each other" sadiya said
" I can see that" Aisha replied
" okay ladies, I've a confession to make" their eyes all turn to me
" it's about amir" they gave me a confused look
" Aisha, do you remember the grey eyes man I told you about some months back? " she nodded
" could you believe that Amir is that man" she put two together then squeal out loud
" I can't believe this! so you mean Amir was the same grey eye man you got married to. Wow! this is so surprising, fate works in so many ways. "
I smile at her
" I was also surprised too. I didn't expect getting married to that grey eyes specie" I added with a dreamy sigh
" OK girls, I'm left out here. What are you talking about" asked sadiya
Aisha looked at her with a happy expression
" OK let me tell you the story, this happened Months ago. Ameera accompanied her brother to a company called SHUWA ltd , She bumped into a rude grey eyes man and since that day my friend here has been a fan of his. Surprisingly now, that Grey eyed man is amir her husband and your brother . Which means they met before their wedding, can you now see that they are destined to be together. "
Sadiya turn to look at me
" so you first time of meeting Amir was in his company? " I nod
"wow, that's good to know. Aisha you're right, they are meant to be. I'm happy that you two end up together " said an happy sadiya
" me too I'm happy"
I excuse myself to the rest room
I silently sang to the tone of thinking out loud as I made my way to the restroom.
Baby you --
" ouch" I bump into someone, from the sounds of it , it's a lady
" are you blind or what can't you see where you're going to"
" I'm so sorry, I di--. You? "
" This is getting so interesting, who would have thought that I will finally get to see you one on one. Luck is so on my side this time around" she added with a sadistic laugh
" what do you want, samira?"
" really now, so it's me that now need something. Last I checked you bumped into me, stop saying nonsense "
I rolled my eyes and move right to walk into the restroom but she grabbed my hand in a strong grip.
" let me go, samira. I don't have time for your shenanigans right now "
" No, you listen to me. Leave Amir alone, free him from what ever charm you might have used on him. Amir,can never like you over me, I'm sure you used a charm on him"
I pitifully laugh at her
" wallah, I pity you. A beautiful lady like you is behaving like a mad woman in a place like this, well that's your cup of tea. firstly ,let go off me or I'd do something we'd both regret " I force my hand out from her strong grip.
" now to answer your question, I love Amir and Amir loves me. I didn't use any charm on him, look at me" I swirled around
" Do I need to used charm on him before he love me? I'm too expensive for that. " she look like she want to kill me and I don't care, she needs to be told the truth
"I guess that's what you used on him back then when you were dating" I added with a mocking laugh
" Don't talk to me like that little girl, I'm not your mate. You better be prepared b'coz Amir is mine, I'll get him back. You can laugh all you want now but I promise you, I'll have the last laugh " she threatened
" Their is nothing you can do, our love for each other will always prevail . You're sick, you better go check yourself in the hospital. The way you behave, I definitely know that you need to be taken to a mental
Hospital" she moved forward to pounce on me, I quickly move back
" I hate you, I hate you. Just wait and see, wait see how I'll take what you love most from you. Some secret are best kept than said"
" What do you mean by that, what secret are you talking about? " I confusingly ask.
She made a tsked sound " That is for me to know and for you to find out "
" see you soon" she blew a air kiss at me then walk away.
What could she be talking about?

Candor: The Forgotten House
*** Please read note below *** As a 16-year-old mage from a powerful family, Jayce Candor had known from a young age what his future would hold. As the fourth son in his family the possibility of him becoming the heir to the household was very small. But, with his talent as a mage, his potential accomplishments in the military could lead to titles of nobility and political power. However, on what would otherwise be an unremarkable night, everything he had ever known, the only people he ever cared for, and all of the plans for his future were destroyed. House Candor, one of the six great houses that helped build the Eldoran Empire had been erased from history. By imperial decree, all those bearing the name Candor were hunted down and executed as traitors of the Empire. With no home, no family, and only death waiting for him, Jayce decided to escape north to the uncharted Northern Territories to begin a new life. Forced into situations he was never prepared for and trying to cope with his past, Jayce tries to find safety in a place spoken about only in legends. There for the first time, he will make true friends and find people he will come to see as family. He will encounter strong enemies, build powerful alliances, and become a person his ancestors would be proud of. But surrounded by creatures he thought only existed in tales and pressed by the Empire’s constant expansion, Jayce’s safety may be only an illusion. To survive a world fraught with danger Jayce will need to grow stronger with each new experience and rebuild his once forgotten house. ********************************************************************** Note: The story starts slow. Although there is more action as the story progresses, there is a fair amount of introspection and character introduction in the first 30 chapters. Jayce is the main character, however, other characters play a large role and the story is seen through multiple POV's. This is a draft, it is not a finished work. This is not a story that focuses on an OP MC who beats up on weaklings. At times there can be a fair amount of internal monologue. Some of that may be edited out when I rewrite the story. I decided to keep it in the draft because I think it is better to have too much material rather than too little when I edit. Constructive criticism is appreciated as it helps in the editing and rewriting process. Check out my other story Shattered Mind here

Checkpoint
as an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you’re crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone’s eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die”. now Mal needs to find a way to “break down the gate” (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably. /————————————————— this is technically a time loop novel. the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people. i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don’t let that happen. if you’re want world building check out hitchhikers guide to checkpoint (an encyclopedia of what I made up with lots more explanation)
