"huh?"
The elevator door opened. Adrian didn't explain further and left.
"Does it mean he actually likes me?" She soliloquize .

Thompson called the attention of Adams parents.
"Please can you two help me convince Adam, he can't just leave like that, they've gotten engage, soon they will get married, what will we tell the media when they come asking, even the video of their fight is going viral on Internet, please help me talk to Adam, let him tell them it was just a normal thing and couples do fight " Thompson tried explaining.
"There's nothing we can do, I've tried talking to Adam but he refuses, he says that's his final decision and about the media thing, we can put it down, it's no fuss, just maybe we weren't meant to be families, ..... please I'll take my leave.... let's go dear " Adam father said.
Adam mother followed suit. They were about stepping out when Carolina ran downstairs with a knife on her wrist.
"Carolina what are you doing?" Her father asked.
"If I don't get married to Adam, then no one will, if you don't let me get married to him, I'll slit my wrist, don't think I can't" she said pushing the knife towards her wrist.
"Don't hurt yourself dear, Adam has made his decision, if it's about the video, we can put it down, we can also compensate you " Adam mother said.
"I don't need money, all I need is Adam, only Adam, and if he doesn't get married to me I'll kill myself " Carolina lamented.
Soon Adele came running downstairs.
"Please don't, I beg you " she knelt down.
Carolina didn't spare her Mom any glance.
"Call Adam " Adele suggested.
Adams father dialed his number.
Adele ran snatching the phone
"Adam please come, Carolina is trying to kill herself, please, try and talk to her, please, tell her it was just a misunderstanding and you two will get married" she begged Adam.
There was silence on the other side. Adam didn't speak but when he finally did. He said.
"I don't care what she does, all I'm saying is that I can't go back"
After saying that, he hung up.
"Adam" Carolina mother cried but the phone had hung up.
"Adam doesn't love me anymore, Mom, ever since he saw Erica at our engagement party, he's been acting strange, the Adam I know can never say something like this, I've lost him" Carolina cried falling on the ground.
Her dad saw the advantage and took the knife from her.
Adele walked up to her daughter consoling her.
Adams parents were indifferent to her. They walked out of the house. Soon they car engine was heard and zoomed off.

NIGHT
Erica was in her room laying her chest on the bed. She had already seen the video of Adam and Carolina.
She smirked, she didn't even do much, she didn't do anything.
Her door was bolt open. She looked at the person entering. Who else than Mikel.
The only time he comes to her room is to rape her. She knew she gave him last time, she didn't know what was wrong with her but it wouldn't happen again. She assured herself.
"What are you doing in my room?" She asked
"What's making you smile?" He asked instead of answering her questions.
"Carolina and Adam have broken up " she told him smiling widely.
Mikel saw the spark in her eyes.
"Are you happy because they have broken up or because he's no longer hers and might come to you "
"I don't have an answer to that " she told him
"Do you still have feelings for him?"
"No what we had was gone, he choose my sister over me " she replied smiling. She was still hurt about the whole thing but everything happens for a reason right?
Mikel looked at her coldly before walking out of the room.
