Ludo walked to a nearby phone station and texted her father. After a while, a car pulled over and Joe came out.
“Dad,” she ran and hugged him.
“It’s alright Ludo, I’m here,” Joe led her to the car.
They reached Joe’s house which he was renting and he led her to his bedroom and told her to rest.
“How about you?” She asked.“I’ll sleep on the couch, don’t worry,” he answered. “We can shift tomorrow, there is a two-bedroom apartment next door for rent should you decide to stay long.”
“I’ll be here for a while yea.”
“Good I’ll make arrangements,” Joe sighed. “Do you want to talk about what happened?”
“No dad,” Ludo answered.” Maybe tomorrow. ”
“Okay baby Rest now you can tell me about everything tomorrow morning.”

A dark orange ford ranger 2016 was parked outside the Chief’s palace in Chisoti village. Opposite it was a white Corolla Altis. The surrounding was deserted despite being eight in the morning. Indistinct voices could be heard from outside the small respected palace but what was more apparent were the voices coming from the Chief’s office further away from the main house. Hearing the voices, one could agree that where men talked, it sounded like a fight would start.“I still stand by my decision,” Chief Chovu said looking at the two men seated in front of him. “That land is sacred, i cannot sell it; my people won’t let me.”The two men looked at each other. One of them sat upright and broke the silence, “Chief Chovu we respect that you respect the land more than anything. I love that in a man,” he paused, “We have been coming here for the last six months and your stance on the issue has been amazi

Arriving at the hospital, Ludo called Melanie. She was fed up with this cycle. If it wasn’t the prison, it was the streets, now the hospital. She had promised herself not to involve herself in Evan’s life but as it stood, she was still in it. She walked to the ward he was admitted and before entering, she took a long deep breath. It had been nine months since she last saw him. She found Melanie talking on the phone while Evan had his eyes closed. She knew he was pretending to be sleeping because he knew it was her. She closed the door behind her and waited on Melanie to finish talking on the phone while she looked at Evan contemptuously. He had some stitches on his forehead, a black eye and a swollen lower lip. Whatever happened to the mighty Evan? She wondered before being interrupted by Melanie. “You’re here?" ” Yes,” Ludo sighed putting her handbag on a table. “Good, I have to leave. I left Zeus with the maid, she’s new and I don’t fully trust her

The workers heard indistinct voices coming from him and his father, the chief. Voices were slowly rising, getting everyone’s attention. The Chief was on top of his voice and so was Walutanga. The Chief saw that everyone was looking at them, he tried to calm the nonstop talking Walutanga, “Okay let’s talk about this at home.” “No father, we are going to talk about it here!” He yelled. Everyone’s heads turned in shock, their mouths gaped. What sort of disrespectfulness were they witnessing, they all wondered. “I won’t tolerate this, young man,” The chief whispered trying to grab the boy’s hand. Ducking his father’s hand, Walu said, “This school will be built. I have managed to bring it this far with no one’s help but my friend’s. Apparently, we are the only ones who think this village needs a

Ben and Devi exchanged glances after walking around the unfinished school building. They knew they were so close to having the chief sign up the deal. They had been patient enough and it was getting on their last nerves. What irritated them more was the surfacing of the Chief’s young son, Walutanga. Despite him being the youngest, what he was saying could alter the Chief's mind and now that they were so close to the deal, they had to do something.“I’m getting sick and tired of this,” Ben whispered to Devi.“You just don’t know how fed up I am with this already,” Devi whispered back.“Do something.” Ben urged.“What do you mean do something? What do you want me to do?” Devi looked at Ben confused. “Aren’t you the diplomat?”Ben watched the Chief and his two sons argue. “I think this is family business, don’t you think?”“I thought you

He tried to get up but felt a surge of pain on the lower part of his body.“Don’t move,” the nurse said. “You got burnt pretty bad.”“Ouch,” he moved regardless and saw his legs all burnt up.“I said don’t move or the burns will be rubbed.”“Where is the boy?”“Oh, the boy you were brought in with?”“Yes.”“He was taken to the city hospital.

The people who brought him in didn't wait to answer much questions; they just dropped him in and rushed back to where they had come from. The only thing the nurses knew was that he was a prince from a certain village which apparently, the Chief’s house had caught fire. They felt pity for him because he is the sole survivor of the ghastly accident; His whole family had died in the fire outbreak.Two nurses heard the loud screams from the ward. “When will he shut up?” The first nurse asked.“He’s in pains and you could see he is a village boy, he’s probably scared and not used to all these,” the second nurse added.“Huh, it’s now becoming irritating and he still doesn’t want anyone to wash his wounds.

She found several missed calls from an unknown number and Lance. She had called her dad before she reached Melanie’s place. She didn’t know how to call Lance and tell him she had messed up. She didn’t want to think about that and got out of bed. She went into the shower and a couple of minutes later, came out and found Melanie on the bed with a tray of breakfast on her side.“What can i do without you?” Ludo reached for the tray. “You’re the only good thing from six years ago.”“I know,” Melanie smiled. “What happened yesterday?”“I’m sorry i didn’t tell you last night.
