” It’s nothing, something enter my eyes”she lied wiping her tears
” Don’t lie to me Shana,does it have to do with Chris? He asked in calm tone
” Ch…Ch..” she stuttered
” I guess I was right” he muttered with a sigh before facing Shana
“If I may ask, what’s your relationship with Chris? And don’t think of lying to me!! Kingsley
“He is the man I love” she replied and Chris felt his heart shattered into pieces
” The man you love? He repeated softly and she nodded

He adjusted his big glasses as he saw Shana coming with her minors
“Hi Shana” he greeted Shana
” Who do we have here? It’s the fatso of the school”Shana mocked and everyone present laugh except for Chris
“Shana this is for you” he said giving the letter to Shana
Shana snatch the envelope from him and open it at once, bringing out the letter inside

“Any problem Shana” one of her minors asked
” Could you believe that this fat pig has the gut to write a love letter to me!! She screamed earning gasp from different direction
“What?? her minors said in shock
” How dare you fatty?? Do I look like someone who could date a glutton and fat pig like you?? She shouted
“I like_

“To be sincere, that was really harsh of you” Kingsley spoke calmly
” I know which is why am trying my best to make him forgive me and reciprocate my feelings for him but I guess am late”she cried harder and Kingsley hugged her
” Why don’t you made your feelings known to him and ask him if he still has feelings for you”Kingsley suggested
“Do you think he will a
” You should just try your luck”
“Ok” she replied after a long silence and Kingsley smile
“Why are you doing this despite that Chris is your sister fiancee
“Your happiness comes first and Chris is just with Nancy because of our parents” he replied
” I should go back” she said standing up from the ground
“Yeah
” Goodnight Kingsley” she said with a smile
“You are welcome and Goodnight” he replied and she leaves
Just as she was about to open the door to her apartment, Kingsley called her
” Shana
“If it happens that,he didn’t want you, just know am here waiting for you” he said with a smile
” Why?
“Because I love you as well” he replied truthfully and Shana felt her heart jump from her chest
“What? She muttered
” I love you Shana and,I don’t know how it happens” he said and left
Shana watch him left with different thoughts in her head
FLASHBACK ENDS ♥️
Shana let out a sigh before walking inside the building
Some workers greeted her while some just smiled at her which she returns
She took the elevator directly to Chris’s office floor
On getting there, she met no one at the secretary post but a female bag on the desk
“I guess he had hired a new secretary” she muttered
She walk to Chris door and raise her hand to knock but she decided against it,
So she opens the door and enter the office
She stop dead on her track and tears fell freely from her eyes as she watch the scenario before her,
There was Chris and Nancy feasting on each other lips
Her bag fell off from her hand catching the attention of Chris and Nancy as they stopped kissing
“Shana?? Chris and Nancy called in suprise
” I just dropped by to say Hi,I guess I should get going since you are okay”she rushed her words and Ran out immediately
” Shana! It’s not what you think” Chris Tried to run after her but Nancy hold him back
“Let go of my hand! He growled angrily
“She is the one right? She asked
” It’s none of your business! And how dare you kissed me without my permission??! He snapped
“You are my fiancee, and I don’t see anything wrong in what I did” she replied shrugging her shoulder
“Everything is wrong! I guess we should just cancel this engagement cos I don’t think I can ever come to like you” he shouted
” You can’t do that Chris!! She snapped in shock
” Oh! Watch me then! Chris replied and left immediately hoping to find Shana
“Arrghhhhhh!! Nancy screamed out in frustration scattering everything on Chris desk
” Shana! She shouted
“I guess it’s time to stop pretending to be a friend, it’s time to let you know that I move to your neighborhood so I could show you where you belong” she muttered balling her fist in anger
***
Chris got outside hoping to find Shana but to his disappointment, she was nowhere to be found which means she had left
He rough his hair in frustration
“Damnit! He cursed punching the air
***
Shana parked her car at the front of her apartment, she came out with puffy face showing how much she had cried
She was surprised to see Kingsley waiting at the entrance
“Kingsley” she called announcing her presence
” Shana you are back? He asked walking to her
” How was it? He added with a smile and Shana became sad at once
“Shana are you okay? He asked in concern and Shana face him
“You love me right? She asked and he nodded
” Fine then,am ready to give you a chance” she said
“Really? He beamed and she nodded
” f-__-k I am so happy! He said in disbelief with smile on his face before pulling Shana into hug
After a long time, Shana wrapped her hand around his neck
” I guess our plan worked Nancy” Kingsley thought with a smirk
