JAMES'S POV
The cock crowed thrice indicating morning but I could not deny seeing Tolani. I barely slept as my thoughts were filled with clashes of agitation and despair. I folded my knees still in that same position of the previous day. It was terribly hot but I was trembling like a leaf. I turned slowly, cautiously and daringly to look at Tolani. But her bed was empty. I let out a huge sigh of relief. I rolled to turn to the other side of the bed.A nurse walked up to me wearing a pregnant smile.
"Good morning sir, How are you feeling?" She said, touching me on my shoulders.
"I think I am feeling better. When will I be discharged?" I said hastily.
"Probably in a week or two." She replied, reassuringly.
"Maybe in a month, if necessary." She added.
"No, that's too long. You don't understand. My life is in danger. I need to leave now." I said, droppin

ENIOLA'S POV "Why did you hit me so hard? What if I wasn't wearing a thick scarf?" Kemi whined, as I passed a bottle of ice to her."How did you expect me to know it was you? I thought it was the thieves of the night." I countered, taking a glass of water."I am sure you did it deliberately." Kemi scoffed, whimpering in pain."What are you doing in my house at this odd hour of the night? And how did you get my address? I inquired, shifting my position on the couch."Well you haven't been to the office in two days, you left some of your files on your desk and I guess I opened it." Kemi replied, placing a leg on the centre table in the living room."You opened my files? That's infringement of human privacy." I yelled, folding my arms angrily."And get your leg off my table." I added.

JOHN'S POVMy phone never left my sight as I waited for Eniola to pick up my call. I never lost count of the number of times I clicked Eniola's name in the dial log. A huge 95 dials. I knew that she was right but I wanted to judge the case tommorow and leave the law firm permanently. There was no point anymore of deceiving Eniola. I licked my bottom lip and dipped my body into the couch. I placed the phone on the table and I inhaled sharply.A shrill tone invaded my thoughts and I picked up the phone in anticipation."Hello." I said, gleefully with a spirit as high as the heavens."Hello old friend." An unfamiliar tone said."Who are you? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?" I said, dropping my feets on the tilted ground."How did you forget me so fast? Maybe because this is a private number. Have you forgotten your old friend? Have y

JOHN'S POVI gritted my teeth as I wore the robes. I admired my myself for the last time in the three quartered mirror and inhaled sharply. I smiled to myself and scanned the office for the last time. I heard the clicking the door being opened and I adjusted myself."Hello sir." Kemi said,beaming with smiles."Good morning will be more professional. Anyways it's alright." I reassured, giving her a fake smile."Eniola is in the court lounge anyways. I forced her here against her will." Kemi said, dropping some files on my table."Thank you for that unnecessary information." I chuckled, sarcastically."You are welcome sir. Have you eaten this morning?" Kemi asked, placing a hand on her outlined hip evident in her skirt."Of course not. Today is a big day,so I think it's better

JOHN'S POV"I find it hard to believe that you actually listened to me." Eniola said, as we struttered down the hallway leading to the office."I find it hard to believe that I sentenced a politican's son to three years in prison." I said, putting my hands in my trouser pockets."You aren't listening to me." Eniola playfully nudgedme as I opened the door of the office.Kemi jumped up in my face and I screamed in fear."Why did you do that Kemi." I asked, looking at her with a scrowl."I wanted to be the first to congratulate you sir. It's all over the news but apparently someone beat me to it." Kemi said, winking at Eniola."There's nothing to celebrate about so stop making a big deal out of it." I stated sternly, retaining the scowl on my face."Are you hungry? Should I get you peppersoup?" Kemi inquired, fol

JOHN'S POVI twirled continously in my seat as I watched Kemi and Eniola discuss about celebrities. I wondered why females had a gripping passion for gossip. A smile was plastered on my face as I watched them bicker in delight. A loud noise disturbed my peace as Kemi and Eniola stopped arguing.The telephone vibrated on my table demanding attention and I wondered why a telephone couldn't be silenced. I picked it up in a jiffy and let out a huge breath."Hello, How may I help you?" I asked, gripping the cords of the telephone tightly."My name is Aisha." The voice from the receiver replied in a thin voice."And what can I do for you?" I inquired, irritated by her slow voicing out of words."I was...raped by....." Aisha trailed off, breathing heavily."I am very sorry ma.But do you have a speech defect? If not, then please you have to

NARRATOR'S POV"This is very hilarious. In those seven years that you were imprisoned, my life was completely perfect but just your shadow is about to ruin my life. You didn't only steal my house or my profession. You stole my woman." James yelled, as he grabbed a fistful of John's collar."Which woman? You broke up with Eniola a few months ago, why are you claiming possession on someone that's not yours?" John asked, folding his arms."And you still have the guts to be replying my words, don't you have a shimmer of shame in your life? Eniola was never yours to begin with and she would never be yours." James replied, holding tightly to John's collar."You are only bitter because Eniola thought I was you and she fell in love unfortunately." John chuckled as he tried to wriggle free off James's grip."Bitter? The only thing that looks bitter is you. What do you think

JOHN'S POV"I warned you both to stop talking, can you see what you both have caused?" The doctor said, pointing to the monitor."What's wrong with her?" I asked, eyeing James."Her heart beat is rapid, that means she can hear everything you are saying." The doctor started, watching the monitor closely."Nurse Titi, please come here." The doctor added, flaring his hands.A petite nurse in a white gown ran into the room holding a couple of files."Please escort these two men outside." The doctor deadpanned, pointing his finger."And you also want to drag me out. You aren't even pitying your small frame." I said, shooting daggers at the nurse trying to grab me by the arm."What's your problem? Just get out of here." James yelled, pushing me out of the room and he followed suit."I really don't underst

JOHN'S POV"That was a great meal, don't you agree?" I asked, smiling at James."It was spoilt but you are a glutton, maybe that's why you didn't notice." James replied, chuckling with a toothpick in his mouth."Let's go and sue that restaurant." I yelled, kicking a stone in my path."The food is already in your belly, be grateful that you are still alive." James replied, laughing loudly.I was basking in the glory of getting my brother back when the phone in my pocket vibrated with immediate attention. I sighed heavily, casting a weak smile at James and picked the call."Hello, How can I help you?" I asked, licking my lips."Good evening, it's Aisha. I don't want to file for the case against Danjuma anymore. I probably got it mixed up." Aisha said, her voice breaking in a fearful way."What kind of excuse is that?
