"Okay, he wants you to help him out, right?" Alex asked after she narrated her ordeal with him."Yes, he is just so rude, so selfish, always about himself!" She vented in frustration."Seems like you know him more than me, well, I wasn't the one who spent a couple of days in his house," she said with laughter."Alex, this is not funny! I'm trying to get over Kelvin and then that freak comes with his own shit?!" She asked angrily."Ok, be calm. You know I hate it when you're angry plus, you're not supposed to get angry," Alex said as she sat beside her and caressed her hair."Alex, I'm losing it again. I'm losing my sanity," she cried as she leaned on her shoulder."You'll be fine. I'll speak to Amos about it and he won't come near You any longer," she promised.She sniffed and raised her head from her shoulder."That's what you want, right?" Alex asked.She kept silent and looked away from her face.The next morning, she was awoken by the sound of the room door creaking. She opened he
He watched as she stepped out of the car elegantly and he hurried out of the doorpost to meet her.He could notice her sad demeanor and he wondered what was wrong. She spoke a few words to the bodyguards and they stepped into the car and drove away.Was she planning to spend the night? He thought with his eyes looking at her weary face."Hi," she greeted weakly, walking past him to the door."Hey," he called and walked behind her to the house.They walked into the house and she proceeded to the couch to take her seat. "Is everything alright?" He asked, walking to the couch."I'm sorry for the inconveniences," she said without looking at his face."Oh, it's.. it's fine. Um, I was at work when you called and I decided to come home early because of you," he said, taking his seat beside her."What's up with you? You look moody," he said with concern."I caught them at the salon. I mean, he accompanied her to the salon to get her hairdo," she related with tears clouding her eyes."You won
Dressed casually in a white round-neck top and blue jeans, she stepped out of the house with Alex following behind her."Sammy, put this in the car," she said, handing her small black box to the young man in black suit who was standing close to the car."I can't believe you're leaving me all alone in this mansion. Adrian asked you to look after baby J and I and now, you're leaving me all because of a man," Alex grumbled with her face wearing a frown."Sweetie, it's just a two day trip. We'll be back soon, okay?" She said as she gave her a hug while smiling sheepishly."Take good care of my handsome nephew before I return," she said with a smile as she broke free from the hug."You better not stay more than the promised days," Alex warned and she laughed."I won't. Stay safe, babe," she said as she put on her round-shaped glasses.She bade Alex goodbye and Alex waved her back while forcing a smile on her grumpy face.She sighed on stepping into the car and she pushed back her ponytail h
It was pitch black when they arrived at the small village surrounded by mud houses and a few block houses.They strolled along the muddy road which had a few houses on both sides of it. The whole place was as calm as a graveyard and she became scared as she looked around the place."You never told me it was this dense, we could have started our trip earlier," she said, looking around in fear."I don't wanna come here during the daytime so as not to be noticed by a lot of people," he said as he walked slowly beside her, holding her box."Why?" She asked, turning to look at him."There are a lot of witches and wizards around here. You haven't heard about the Benin Kingdom, have you?" He asked and fear gripped her as she jumped on his body."Why didn't you tell me you're taking me to a den of witches and wizards?! Oh, I wanna go home right now!" She cried and he burst into laughter while making her stand on her feet."You better be careful, else, they'll come for us and I'll run, leaving
The next morning, she was awoken by the sounds coming out from the backyard. She yawned tiredly and winced in pain as she felt pains all over her body. The bed was small and she had managed to help herself from falling during the night.She sat up on the bed as she looked around the room. Amos was nowhere to be found and she wondered where he was off to. It was morning already and she could see a ray of the beautiful sunrise which settled on the window. She stood up from the bed and tied the cloth firmly across her chest as she walked out of the room. She couldn't notice a presence around the house."Oops! Everyone must be in the kitchen," she exclaimed as she hurried out immediately.She knew she would get scolded by Mrs Eno for sleeping so late when she was supposed to be up early, assisting in the kitchen. African moms are like that; strict and intolerant, she thought as she walked out of the house."Oh, our Iyoba(Queen mother) has arrived," she heard Mrs Eno sing in appraisal as
She became flabbergasted as she saw him walking away angrily."Wasn't that why we're here? Why is he angry?" She asked inaudibly."Amos! Wait for me!" She called as she ran over to him.She stood in front of him and he stopped and looked away from her."Are you jealous?" She asked with a smile."I'm not. Why would I be?" He asked with a scoff."If you like me already, you can just tell me so I can consider you to be on the list," she said and they both laughed."I don't like you, but I'm concerned about you. You don't deserve to be hurt," he said with all sincerity.Her heart sank as she got lost in his eyes and she opened her mouth to speak but the words became stuck."Thanks for being concerned about me. You're sweet," she said and planted a peck on his cheek.His lips broke into a smile and he touched his cheek while she giggled."Come on, where are we going?" She asked, climbing on his back."Let Me take you to somewhere you'll love," he said."What are we waiting for?" She asked
He tried to speak but the words became stuck in his throat and he could see her eyes welling up with tears.He didn't know what to do or say at the moment and he felt guilty for bringing up the topic about her mother."Nat..we..we..can stop talking about this if you want to," he said with concern."It's fine, I want to talk about it. You know, my Ex doesn't even know about it. I'm not comfortable telling it to people and the only person who knows the truth aside from my family, is my best friend who betrayed me," she related as she sniffed and wiped the tears off her eyes."I want to know, how did it happen? What led to it all?" He asked curiously."My mom," she said, raising her head to look at him."She was the beginning of my problems. She was an avid cheater despite the fact that my dad was a loving husband to her. Adrian had a twin brother whom we lost due to my mom's negligence," she related."I..I never knew he had a twin," he said."Yes, we were so little then. My mom would br
Waking up on the bamboo bed, she looked beside her and saw him sleeping peacefully. It was dawn already and she could see the sheets spread over their bodies. She recalled how he had sex with her last night and they ended up in the room for another round of it. Right now, she felt like he was taking advantage of her body and she was losing her guard. He opened his eyes slowly as he heard movements on the bed. He could see her sitting on the bed with her back facing him. He heaved a sigh and licked his lips as he recalled the pleasures of last night. "Hey," he called slowly. Without a word, she swung out of the bed and he sat up right immediately. "Nat," he called in surprise. She didn't respond and he could see the fury written all over her face. He watched her dress up slowly and then a knock came on the door. She sighed in frustration and walked over to the door. He could hear her conversing with his mother and then she walked out of the room. Walking into Mrs Eno's room, she
