*Sola*
"Well?...what do you think of it?"
I opened my mouth in shock as I stared at the sleek car in front of me. It was a top-of-the-range BMW and it was parked outside the garages for me to examine.
I turned back and stared at Mr Jimmy in shock.
"It's.. It's really beautiful.. But..""But nothing!" Mr Jimmy brightly prompted, smiling warmly at me. "You needed a car to transport your self, now you got one!"
"Mr Jimmy.. I surely can't accept this. It's too much.."
"Nonsense! It's not too much. You do a much important work around here, overseeing the resorts at the beach on Taqua Bay and the hotel here at Bode Thomas. I figured all that would be too much stress taking public transport all the time, so I decided to get you this gift as a relief, and as a way to thank you for your exceptional job over here. "
*sola* I was woken up by the sound of a tiny scream from the adjoining room.. Justin's room!. I quickly bolted up, turned on my table lamp and ran out of the room in alarm. I opened the door to his much more smaller room and met him sitting up and crying silently. I was wondering what had happened to my little boy. Had he fallen off the bed? "Baby... What happened? Mummy's here.." I said in the most soothing voice I had. I climbed into his small, soft bed and held him in my arms."Mummy...Dream.." He said while sobbing silently. I bit my lower lip as I felt a rush of tears at the back of my eyelids. I kissed his little head while cleaning his tears. He leaned closer into me to hug me tightly. "So my big boy is scared of nightmares? What a shame!" I said in a cheerful, laughing voice. It must have worked because my energet
*Alex*"For such a soft, tiny hand... I must say you're a really good slapper, sugar" I said, chuckling. I quickly snapped out of my shock after Sola slapped me hard across my face. I glared at her. Normally I didn't tolerate such insolent behavior from women, but Sola had always been an exception for everything since she crashed into my life. "Don't call me that! And the next time you force your lips onto mine again.. I will give you a more harder slap than this!" She was panting loudly, her anger so strongly emitted."I don't mind being slapped by a beautiful woman, it adds to the excitement." I quipped, grinning widely at her angrily flushed face. She shook her head as if she could quite believe I was still standing in front of her."You're such a distasteful, vile man! Coming to this place and pretending like you've never met me in front of my
*Sola* It was 3:30pm and I had just parked my car into Justin's school's parking lot. The school was one of the prestigious schools here in Surulere. I was so glad that I could afford to send my son to a good school. But I wasn't going to tolerate him being bullied by some other kids. I walked straight into the principal's quarters."Hi ma, good afternoon. How may I help you?" the receptionist at the desk asked, smiling invitingly at me. I smiled back."Good afternoon. Please, I need to speak with Mr Amos."The receptionist asked me to wait while she prepared my appointment. After some minutes, she told me he was free and I could go in. I walked into his office and greeted him while he did the same."It's been quite a while Miss Ojo, how have you been?" he asked cheerfully. "Fine, fine. Thank you sir."
*Alex* "Do you make a habit of keeping your clients late before you show up, sugar?" I said to Sola the moment she entered my limousine. It was Wednesday, Sola was a good 15 minutes late. I knew she did it deliberately. I studied her chic outfit. She was wearing a bright orange strapless gown. The top of the gown exposed a bit of her cleavage and I scowled silently. She looked breathtaking and I didn't want men staring at her the way I was. The gown was a bit too short, with a provocative slit on the left side, showing off her flawless skin. Her back was also bare and her make up was light and classy. God! She was so perfect."Good morning, Mr Williams." she said in a crisp, stern voice, managing to avoid eye contact with me. I smiled to myself. Today was going to be an interesting day. "Good morning, Sugar." I replied, gr
*Sola* Now he knew the truth. The lady who claimed to work with me in stealing Alex's money didn't even know me. So how could I have been the one? "Are saying that you don't recognize this lady? At all?" Alex asked, the anger was very clear in his voice.Amarachi looked confusingly towards me and Alex. "No... No.. I.. I don't recognize her sir." she turned fearfully to me. I noticed she was shaking. "Who are you miss?""I'm Sola Ojo." I replied, smiling at her. I and Alex watched as all the color drained from her face. She gasped and before I knew what she was doing, she dropped to her knees and started sobbing hysterically as she grabbed my shoes. "Please ma, I'm so sorry! The lady came to me and told me her name was Sola Ojo. I knew she was lying but I couldn't stop my self, she offered me a million to steal from t
*Alex* "Good Morning, Mr Williams. You arrived quiet early... Did you fly in at midnight?" Mr Jones, our most competent family doctor said, rising up to shake my hands with much enthusiasm. I had woken up early this morning to take a flight to Abuja, where Mr Jones resided. I had called him the night after I had found out that Sola had a child. A real living child. I'd done so because I needed to get a chance to leave Lagos, because I couldn't trust my self not to go after Sola immediately and cause more problems. "Yes, Mr Jones. I had to quickly land early because I have some urgent matters to take care of. I just needed to quickly see you for a few minutes before I leave." I explained and sat as he lead me to the dining room of his apartment."Alright, sir. Can I offer you anything?" he asked, smiling widely. "No, no.. I'm goo
*Alex* I stared at the little boy who was glaring at me with innocent anger, and I knew my life had changed completely. I noticed sola's horrified expression as we all looked at each other. Speechless. I gulped as I stared at the little boy who looked exactly just like me when I was young. He reminded me of all my childhood pictures that was hanged on the wall of my parent's home. The boy had such a splitting resemblance that I knew, without a doubt, that he was my son.I had a son.Christ!. "Who are you? And why disturbing my mommy?" He asked again, moving closer to me. He had a very tiny voice but I could still hear that edge of anger in it. He was naturally a fierce little kid."Um.. Uh.. I..." Sola was stalling, I knew she didn't know the reply to give to the curious little boy as he stared at both of us, waiting for an an
*Sola* If I'd been told a month ago, that my life turn out like this, I would have laughed at the dummy who predicted it. It was all so.. Surreal, it was like a figment of my imagination, Watching my life change completely. My life had originally changed completely after I found out that I was expecting a baby. And it had changed even more after I gave birth to my adorable prince. The boy I would give my life for in a second. From the day I gave birth to my Afin baby boy, I'd known life would be better for me. I'd known for a fact that the depression, the pain, the suffering that was meant for me after my life came crashing down would stop. Justin was like the sun. He came into my life with his innocent heart and heartwarming smiles, he brightened up my life. I watched him with a shaky smile as he played wholeheartedly with his long
