{Author’s pov}
It all started in the month of April 2006 when Alicia got enrolled into college.
Life has always been hard as Alicia would say. Growing up in the hands of her mother and step dad. Alicia's mom, Mrs Hamp had remarried after the death of Alicia’s biological father. Things had seem it will go well at the start of the relationship. Young Alicia had felt that having a second dad would do no harm. Along the way, something stormy happened. Mr Hamp
Alicia’s step dad
changed completely. The once happy man that looked up to seeing his step daughter and wife was now a torment and burden. This new change came swiftly than expected. He stayed up late and nagged at every given chance .until one-day,when he left with few luggages and never returned. Alicia and her mom took things to be as their fate. After much stay and ponders,alas it happened to be that Mr Hamp left not because he wants to but because he found out his wife was suffering from cancer. Mrs Hamp had tried hiding her illness in the sense of having a heart to heart talk in the latter with her husband. Things didn’t sit well with situations at that time as Alicia had to live with the fear of loosing her mother. Opening a small coffee shop seemed easy but making profit out of it was hell on Earth. For a moment things seemed stagnant and perplexed. And that was when Jayden mark showed up.
Jayden mark was said to be a known rich young and successful inter business man. As fate made it seem more than easy, a sip of Alicia’s dark coffee changed things he looked forward everyday to sipping her coffee while checking her out. Alicia on the other hand had little or no idea of her new admirer. Things went on and Jayden took up the courage to say *hello*. Young Alicia finds him interesting and wasted no time in making friends with Jayden
Things went on and Jayden feelings grew wide. He knew he was inlove with Alicia. But patiently nortured his feelings waiting for the perfect moment….he was waiting for Alicia to strike maturity in many aspect in the sense of not wanting to take advantage of her mild mind. Alicia on the other hand, knew nothing of these feelings as she continued enjoying the comfort and company of Jayden whom she took as her Godsent. Jayden made himself available for Alicia to the core. He saw her through her high School. He suited all bills Mrs Hamp was never left out as he also struggled to keep her alive. But as fate may have it, Mrs Hamp died soon enough. But that never stopped Jayden from his commitments.
Alicia was set to go to college. She had chosen somewhere Faraway .it was her choice and Jayden was meant to respect it. But the fear of loosing her to the cold hands of men gripped him as he was moved to tears. Alicia felt he was crying cause he would miss her company. She would her rephrase her journey but that was what she want and so she patted and hugged Jayden .she gave him assurance That her leaving won’t affect their friendship. But if only Jayden knew he would have confessed his feelings at that moment. But he felt he has given her enough green light. But what happens next!?
What happened on Alicia’s graduation. She introduced her lover to Jayden. She introduced Abel her ride or die to Jayden. At that moment, everything became numb to Jayden as he watched Alicia grinning happily and throwing herself in joy at Abel. He stood still for a while and allowed the moment get more tense than usual. Thomp! Thomp! Thomp! His heart beat faster . As he watched Alicia. What more would happen. He has built and norture his mind and feelings waiting for today. Only for him to be given a loud bang. He furrowed his brows in pain and stomped out of the venue with his fist tightened round the present he had bought. Jayden had pictured today perfectly . He had thought that Alicia would run into his arms and talk sweet things and say she loves him but no! She only sees him as a faithful helper.
Now Jayden is out somewhere…..cold and stern with his hard jaw line visible ….striking to posess what he owns. To him, no one would have Alicia …
“Alicia belongs to me!.....I don’t care how things will go but one thing is certain!.....I own her” Jayden had said to himself
Now this is it readers;…..will Jayden possess Alicia? And how? What about Abel who had proposed to Alicia? Will Jayden ask for a refund of all his good deeds or what?
