OLA
I stared at my tv in shock. My ex-boyfriend, Philip Folorunsho was getting married to a popular reporter of BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation)
I felt hurt, we broke up three months ago and now he's getting married? What the hell! I know he cheated on me severally but I didn't expect him to move on so quickly.I turned off the tv and went to the cabinet where we stored drinks. I grab a bottle of vodka and drank from it directly ignoring the burn on my throat.
I felt tears streamed down my face."I hate you Philip Folorunsho" I spat. He'd taken advantage of the love I had for him, he used me gain popularity and make more money and I hated him for that.
Realizing that I couldn't keep doing this to myself when Phillip didn't give a damn about me. I remembered Sade Johnson and what she wanted me to do for her.
Break her son's relationship.I quickly place the vodka where I saw it.
I grab my phone which was laying on the counter and grab my purse, in search for her business card.
I smile when I found it and quickly dialed her number. After two rings she picked up."Hello? Sade Johnson on the line. How may I help you" I hear her speak.
"This is Ola Smith. I want you to send me details about your son and his fiancee to know how I can get into their lives" I said before ending the call.
I would've done my own research but Sade would know her son better than the internet and give me information the internet may never know."Ola dinner is ready!" I hear Kemi, our house keeper called for me.
"Okay Kemi. I'll be right there!" I yelled back before checking my phone to see if I had any text. I did. And it was from Mom informing me she would be home late.
I head to the dinning room and sighed when the aroma of chicken and vegetables hit me. There was white rice too.
Kemi already sat down ready to eat. We let her sit with us in the dinning table, she was like our family.
I sit in front of her and put some rice on my plate along with vegetables and the chicken breast.I drank some water first before eating the food which was delicious by the way."How's your mom doing?" Kemi asked her mouth full of chicken.
"She's okay" I say before asking for her family's welfare "How's your grandson, John doing?"
She smiled when I mentioned John which shows that he was well.
"He'll turn 5 next week. I must admit he's growing really fast" she said "And to answer your question, he's doing well thanks to you and your mom" she added quickly."It's nothing. You're part of our family now and it's our duty to take care of you and everyone close to you" I said finishing the last piece of the chicken in my plate.
"I'm really grateful" she said with a smile on her face.
I drank some water and said "I'll be retiring to my room now to get some rest. You should too as mom said she'll be a little late today" with that I retreated to my room.
I checked my phone and saw that Sade had send info on her son whose name I remember was Daniel Johnson and his fiancee Lola Ogunnupebi.
I checked it and quickly transfer it to my laptop.It reads:
Daniel likes going to 'The pineapple beach' right after Suzy's pizza place. No. 24, Villa's street. He's attracted to vulnerable girls.
I scoffed when I read the last part. Why would he be attracted to weak girls? I smirked when I idea formed into my head.
Ola, you're a genius.Lola Ogunnupebi, she's the daughter of your competition Samuel Ogunnupebi, owner of Xiva establishment.
I gasped and covered my mouth in shock. Samuel Ogunnupebi was my father and Lola was his daughter which means;
We're half sisters.How did I not notice that their surnames were the same?!
I stood up from my bed somewhat feeling terrible. Lola was innocent even though our father wasn't. It's not her fault he decided to be a jerk to my mom and I.I couldn't do this to her.I searched for her name on G****e and it popped out. She sure was popular.
I checked her pictures and saw that we looked somewhat similar.Just that her black hair were shorter than mine, she looked slimmer and taller than me and she was dark brown in complexion while I was light skinned, thanks to my mom.I then read the most recent articles about her.
Lola Ogunnupebi and her fiance spotted making out in a beach
There were pictures of the both of them hugging and kissing.
Feeling disgusted I closed the site and went back to the message from Sade.Lola is a bitch and she can be very aggressive, be careful of her. Good luck.
Sade's message wasn't very useful but at least she told me where I could find Daniel.
My mind drifted back to Lola. Could I hurt her because of twenty five million?
"Yes, after all she, her brother and mother are the reason Dad abandoned you" my subconscious said.
Feeling exhausted I turned off my laptop and went to sleep. I would decide what to do tommorow.
OLA Today was Friday which means less work, more fun!"Miss Ola, congratulations on the award you and your mom received yesterday I knew you both could do it" Michael, one of my colleagues says immediately I stepped into the company. "It's our award, we all worked for it and got it but you know you guys had to cover for us and attend those meetings that's why we couldn't bring you guys along" I say and he shrugs. "Don't stress yourself honey, as long as I keep getting my bonuses I'm good" he says and I laugh. I totally get his point though. "I'll see you later" I say about to leave but he stopped me. "Wait where are you going?" He asked and I gave him a look. "My office, to work, as usual" "Did your mom not tell you?" He asked, somewhat amazed. "We're having a party tonight!" He exclaimed and I nod. "I know and that doesn't stop me from doing my work so-" "-It kinda does because I've done all of your work for you, the only thing left is your signature, your mom's and Harry D
"I know you're pretty popular around here" he said with hate before continuing "What bothers me is why you're on my property" he says going straight to the point. I pull my hands back and sighed. Oh he's not an easy one. I look at him, still at loss of words. I had no idea what to say to him that would impress him. So I did the most stupid thing a person would ever do. I ran away but not forgetting my shoes. Those cost #15,000 naira. I ran to Suzy's pizza place, got in my car and take a deep breath.I can't believe I just did that. Wait Sade didn't tell me Daniel owned that place, I thought he only went there to chill. And she didn't tell me he's rude and intimidating as well. Oh my God! I don't think I can do this anymore, I just ruined everything. Shit! I need a drink. I can't think straight right now. I drove straight home. Immediately I reached I went straight to the cabinets, where we kept drinks and grab a bottle. I didn't even look at the tag I kept on gulping it. Su
Sade Johnson called me three times and I let it ring. I'd given her too many freedom to access me that was why she was taking advantage of my leniency calling me whenever she deemed fit.I received another phone call, this time it was from Jade's boyfriend. Damnit! The picture I posted with Jade yesterday must have made him call me.I decided to pick up to hear what he had to say."Ola Hi! This is James, Jade's boyfriend- well, ex-boyfriend" he stuttered. I rolled my eyes at his response.“Yeah I know, what do you want?” I asked cutting to the chase."W-wait you have my phone number?!" He said, a little taken aback.He cleared his throat and said, "I-i mean yeah, I need to talk to Jade” he stuttered.“Then call her” I say nonchalantly.“You know she blocked me everywhere and I can't even go to her house” He yelled, almost desperately.
When I woke up, I checked my phone and saw that I had a magazine photoshoot tommorow 12 noon. I would have to take a break from work then.And also four text messages from Jade.'Heyy James and I made up, thanks for making me agree to see him again''I hope you find love too someday''Heyyy James has been the greatest boyfriend so far. I can't believe I stayed this long without him''We're going on a date later today!'Well I was happy for her and I decided it was time for me to tell her parents where she lived. Her boyfriend wasn't enough for her.I called her Jade's mom, she picked up almost immediately.“Hello?”“Hello Ma'am this is Ola Smith, Jade's friend” I said while heading to my bathroom.
On monday morning, I headed to the company. I hurriedly did the work I could because I had a photoshoot at Adanna beach 12pm and I didn't want to be late so when it was 11:30am, I left.Thank God I already wore the bikini beneath my clothes. Otherwise I would have to strip completely there and it would get uncomfortable real quick.I got a text from the driver.'I'm here for you'It was part of the contract, for the driver to take me to the location for security purposes.I headed downstairs and spotted the limousine waiting for me. A security guard immediately opened the passenger's seat for me once he spotted me.I walked in majestically and thanked him as he closed the door carefully."Hi!" I say to the driver who only grunted as response.We arrived at the beach shortly after and I was immediately bombarded by m
It had been a week since Lola and I became closer. After that conversation.We went out together and rumours of us being friends were buzzing around the internet.It was such a shame that Lola would be heartbroken in a few months and I wouldn't even be able to console her.I didn't know she was this easy to manipulate. Why would she think I would want to be friends with her despite what her useless father did to my mom.I didn't tell mom about my plan because she wouldn't understand. I knew I wouldn't be able to hide it for long but I was ready to face the consequences later.Meanwhile, Jade reunited with her boyfriend and family and she decided to book an appointment to fix her ear next week Wednesday.I was really happy for her, her life was getting back on track.Whilst scrolling through my phone in my room, I heard glasses shatter everywhere. The noise seemed to be coming from mom's room.Inst
I sneaked into my house quickly and was about to get past the living room when the lights suddenly went on. Mom. I exhaled.“Where were you?” She asked seriously as she cut the apple into two with the knife in her hand.It hurt to admit but I was scared of the way she was holding the knife. What if she snaps again and..Flashback*I just got back from highschool and was really hungry. Thankfully, the nanny already prepared my favorite fried plantain and scrambled eggs. Then I remembered hearing sobs and glasses shattering in Mom's room."Mummy?!" I asked running straight to her room only to find her cutting her wrist with a knife."Mummy what are you doing stop! Why are you hurting yourself?" I asked tears in my eyes. But before I could blink she pushed me against the wall and pointed the knife aga
After Jadesola reunited with her family and boyfriend, she did her ear surgery and it was successful.That was the last time I heard of her.Pictures of her with old friends and her boyfriend were all over Instagram.I simply smiled, those people didn't even check on her when she was down and now she was okay again, they were all over her.I sighed and decided to do some shopping.Thank God mom wasn't home, I didn't want to deal with her after yesterday.I grabbed my car keys and headed out.Then all of a sudden I felt light-headed so I leaned against my car for support and when I felt well, I got in.I started my car and hit the road.I decided to go to the most expensive store not far from here. I passed by the Gallery.. I quickly remembered what happened with Romeo.Flashback*
