THIS IS FATE

CHAPTER 1

ON THE STREET ACROSS THE ROAD, Tasha walked majestically; swinging her hands as if though she had won a lottery, she jumped merrily as she tried to cross to the other side of the road. By the look of her sudden nature one could tell that she was happy about something.

BEEP

BEEP

BEEP

A car that was driven at a high speed made an emergency brake. Tasha who was in her world quickly stared at the asphalt nitro car that nearly turned her body into a corpse. Standing like a statue in the middle of the road she was shocked and frightened.

She did not believe that due to her character she was going to lose her own life which was soon going to be precious.

THUMP

Her heart gave a rapid beat, making it hard for her to breathe, The legs that had previously jumped joyfully as she crossed the road shook like a leaf and became less to impossible holding her weight. The girl's eyes were wide with shock, her eyebrows gave a slight rise and her mouth gave an oval shape making an impression of shock.

"You should watch out where you are going ! ! ! " A man's voice whose head popped out of the window of the car shouted.

Tasha looked at him, then around her. Everybody's gazes seemed to be on her, then her eyes went to the traffic light which exhibited a green light.

Her lips curled as she didn't believe her eyes had failed to notice the green light. Walking steadily, still trying to maintain her balance because her legs were still trembling due to the incident.

"Fool! !"

She heard a man called from behind as the car sped past her at an elevated speed. This was her best day and she did want to ruin it. Ignoring his insults, she hurriedly made her strides as her strength ran back to her body which was trembling in fear.

Holding the post that stood next to her with one hand, she circled it smiles plastered on her face. She could not hold the happiness that was on her heart.

She passed few malls, the bank that was heavily guarded by two armed policemen, and also supermarkets that a lot of people moved in and out of.

As she was waddling excitedly she came across a flower vendor. She bought a bouquet filled with red roses that gave an amazing scent.

"I should share my joy with Tina, l know she'll be happy to hear that my parents have finally agreed to let me stay with Mike." She thought as she brought the flowers close to her soft nose that was already overpowered by the beautiful scent that came from it.

It has been five days, since Tony came up with a proposal for her parents, for them to give him a chance so that she can move in with him, he saw it as a good plan for them to bond and since he was going to marry her in two days.

This news came to her parent in great shock since she was the only daughter they had, they refused at first, but her daughter's persuasion made them agree.

Tasha could not wait to tell Mike about the good news, but especially she wanted to give him a surprise. She sat on the suitcase that she had parked her belongings.

She dug dip into her red cardigan sweater and took out her phone and decided to give her sister the news; of course not her blood-related sister, Tina was one of her best friends who she trusted and loved, she considered her to be more of a companion and friend. whenever she would have any problems she would freely confide in her.

She dialed her number and held her phone beside her ears. The buzzing sound, vibrated on her earlobe making her ear ticklish. Tasha gave a heavy sigh as her lips curled downwards, she felt sad, as it was rare for Tina to pick a call since her phone is always glued to her hand.

"Maybe something kept her busy, l will call you when l arrive at the hotel." She said to herself as she tucked the phone back into her pocket.

She waddled down the street joyful, The cold breeze hitting her cheeks, she pulled the cardigan close to her body trying to find warmth in it as her body began to feel cold.

With relief, she halted in front of a luxurious hotel. Her eyes dilating with happiness.

"Here l come baby". She altered as she raised both of her hands in the air to announce her victory. She then kept her hand akimbo and earnestly, glared at the stairs from where she stood to the hotel entrance, perplexed she looked at the heavy suitcase that had accompanied her from her parent's house.

" Oh My God," touching her cheeks in search of a way it gave a funny face." If l knew, there were a hundred stairs to climb l would have taken a taxi".slapping her forehead with her palm as she shook her head.

She pulled the suitcase with her, as she gave a rest at every step she made. when she finally managed to reach the top, she tiredly sat on her suitcase not believing she had just climbed a maximum of two hundred stairs.

The hotel looked luxurious, the blocks were painted white; the stairs were made of rough tiles to the hotel, the mirror-like windows were large and shiny giving the hotel a marvelous view, she watched the big black initials on top of the entrance "MEET YOUR TASTE".

Nodding her head in excitement. " Thanks. "

folding her hands in front of the entrance as to return her gratitude, for she was going to meet up with her taste; mike.

Ever since she met up with him, he had always been an important person in her life. He made her feel whole again and even made her the happiest woman in the whole world when he had proposed to her.

Amused with its beauty, the beautiful curvy figure went into the luxurious place. The light elegant hanging crystal chandelier, fascinated the room, reflecting the enormous hotel with a glamorous tinge due to the color paints on the walls, a combination of blue and pink.

Confused, she turned her head around wondering where to begin. Gladly she saw a woman dressed in black skinny trousers and a navy blue shirt. 'Maybe l should ask her'. She said to herself then walked towards her.

Mrs. Linda, How Are you? Am here to see someone." scratching her head which wasn't itching "please can you direct me to the reception." Soon as she had finished speaking, Mrs. Linda lifted her hands to direct her, Tasha followed the direction of her tiny fingers.

"Thank you? She said as she carefully pulled the suitcase. Once arriving at the receptionist, she gave out a piece of card that had the name, of the handsome Mike. She nodded her head and indicated that her name was included in the book. Smiling, she gave her the room number card. She quickly picked up her suitcase and headed for the lift.

Bump

Just before reaching the lift, a muscular figure bumped onto her; There was a massive pain that attacked her shoulder, making her hand weak.

From the corner of her eyes, she could see the long black hair that fell across his face as he held her so that she could not fall, Everything happened so fast; Her heart raced faster, his touch made her skin ticklish a feeling she has never felt before. The shiny hair covered his face, making it hard for her to see his face.

" AM SORRY". A powerful drawling voice brushed her ear as she tried to maintain her balance just when he had lessened his hold on her arm. His sensuous perfume wafted into her eager nostril, soothing her to awaken the soul.

"Thank . . . "

She was going to thank him when she turned and saw his figure walking out of the apartment.

Her expression contorted hastily, the thought of not having a chance to return the gratitude of saving her from falling, made her feel terrible.

" Thank you. " She said with a frown while staring at the exit.

"He bumped into you in the first place, so why are you feeling sad about him leaving," she said to herself as she headed to the elevator. when the elevator opened, she walked down the aisle as looked at the initials on every door to see if it could match the card she had.

Without realizing it, Tasha was standing in front of the hotel door, she then entered the password, mike had told him in case she changed her mind, about moving in with him.

With a steady step, Tasha got inside Mike's room, Her eyes broadened, when she saw how chaotic the room was, The books from the library were scattered on the floor, the empty wine glass lay upside on the table, His striped shirt and belt was on the couch.

Without noticing the broken pieces of glasses from the frame that was spread on the red carpet, as she made feel strides, she felt a sharp pain in her left leg.

" Ahaahhhh " She cried out.

Her leg was bleeding profusely, the pieces of glasses had cut deep into her flesh. Gathering courage, she walked to the nearby couch while limping, the pain she felt was unbearable...On the couch, she carefully, looked at the protruding object on her sole, outraged with the length of the object, she gulped.

" Ouch " she cried when she managed to remove the piece of glass from her sole which was oozing blood endlessly.

"Why do l have to encounter bad luck every time, first it was on the road, then the man, and now this", she sighed.

With a steady step, Tasha opened the door to Mike's room, she needed to find the kit, to treat and cover the wound, leaving it open could risk its invitation.

Her eyes widened as soon as soft moans and sighs filled the room, she was surprised to see Mike and Tina on the bed together, both making out passionately while enjoying each other's pleasure.

"Ahh . . Mike . . .Akhhhhhh . . . Ahhhhhh. " She watched as Tina cried while racing on top of Mike, as she moved her hips back and forth.

"Keep moving your sexy hips, darling ! ! ! Mhmm . . .yeah, l love it, Akhhhhhh . . .Akhh, your so sweet," Mike's voice rang deep into Tasha's eardrums. The scene in front of her was disgusting, and unpleasant to watch, her face reddened with anger.

" MIKE ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ." Tasha shouted In a loud voice.

Hearing a familiar voice, that they all recognized. Mike and Tina hurriedly turned to the source of the sound. Both of them met up with Tasha who stood in front of the door, with thunderstruck eyes, looking at them; Her eyes had already turned red due to the tears that streamed down her cheeks helplessly.

" Tasha ! ! ! " called Tina in shock; She quickly pulled out from Mikes manhood and hastily pulled the sheets to her, to cover her naked body.

"Tasha th_this is . . . l can ex_plain." Tasha could not hold back the emotion. The feeling of being betrayed, alarmed a sharp pain inside her heart.

She got out of Mike's room, confused and dumbstruck. She hoped everything was just a daydream and was not real. Tears pooled her eyes, she tried to convince herself what she saw was only but an imagination but as much as she tried to . . . The picture of her truest colleague and Her boyfriend, Mike displayed on her mind. She felt as if half of her soul was gone.

Mike quickly shifted out of the bed and ran after her, he held her hands firmly sure of not letting them go.

" Babe, l can explain". He hastily said.

Tasha who felt a tight grip on her hand, turned quickly to face the person, when she saw mike standing close to her, she disgustingly looked at him from the top to the bottom, probably insinuating how pathetic and immoral he was.

After a long silence, she used the other hand and removed Mike's hands from hers and gave him a serious look with much rage and intense deep within.

" What do you have to say, that she lured you to it ".

" Tina seduced me !"

"Oh . . . Cut the grip ! ! I saw how you, embraced her, kissed and moaned her name, how passionate you were when making love to her, there was no side of resistance in you, you liked it, every moment of it." Turning to go.

"Tasha, am sorry, l love you". He shouted on top of his voice.

Tasha quickly shifted her gaze to him, she made few strides towards him, Mike was breathing heavily and still in a panic, she raised her finger and pointed it in his chest.

" Love me ? ? ? No! ! ! you don't, "she paused then continued " you love yourself". And with that said, she walked out of the room, her face turned vastly pale and red, she could no longer breathe. Still in shock, and question that ran deep in her mind. 'How can she betray me, l took her as my sister but she went ahead and did this to me.' The thoughts circulated in her mind.

Incessantly, she wailed as she flew out of the hotel as quickly as possible. She knew that when mike approached her again, she would have lost it. The bitterness she felt in her heart, outweighed the goodness in her in that, her countenance became deadly and ferocious, she could no longer hold it back, the deception and betrayal were just too much for her to regulate.

After reaching a distance, she screamed like a frantic woman hitting the walk next to her. The thought of him tormented her psyche.

HOWL

"I HATE YOU, MR.MIKE PATEL." She howled.
