Whew!!! Now we know who the man and woman are right? Who do you think they're conspiring against? Okay, y'all know what to do; vote and keep voting. I'd love to hear what you all think. ❤❤❤
Chapter 17OSAGIEDEAfter settling down in the city, Eseosa was taken to the hospital for a routine check up. The verdict was very good, she was faring quite nicely.Lucky for me, my company had carved out a day care for women who had babies. It was way of helping us look after our young one's by having them near, and at the same time making us productive at our jobs too. A doctor came in once a week to check all the babies and a full time nurse was on stand by. It was a genius move on the part of the directors of the company. This helped them retain staff. As a result, the staff were very loyal to their organisation because they were treated very well.All I had to do, was drop Eseosa off on the ground floor where the day care was situated, with some instructions for the care givers, and walk up a flight of stairs to my office. I made sure I checked on her at intervals when I had some spare time, but most especially during break time.As I sat at my desk, I was beside myself with nerv
Chapter 18EYARE'S MOTHER --- QUEEN MOTHER.I heard voices as I came to.Everywhere was dark.I noticed my eyes were still closed so I struggled to open them, but they felt so heavy.Why did I feel so tired?I moved and groaned as a sharp pain radiated throughout my head. It felt like shards of glass were let loose inside it."Doctor! The queen is awake."I squinted at the direction of the voice and saw a shape hovering some feet away. I struggled to sit up but firm hands kept me from doing so."Relax, my queen.""Wh. . . what happened?" It felt like cotton wool was stuffed in my mouth. A face came into focus above me. "My queen, I'm the family doctor. You fainted and hit your head on the floor."That's when the events of the morning flooded into my consciousness. After discovering the staff of office was missing, I ran out of the throne room and it was my scream that got the police men running towards me. I was beside myself with upset and fear. The first thing the police men did, w
Chapter 191, 2 buckle my shoes. 3, 4 knock at the door. 5, 6 pick up sticks. 7, 8 --- Friend. . . or foe?GBOYEGAFrankly, I didn't know why I was told do business with him.I mean, I even turned down the money even though it was a lot.This was fun for me.My life had been boring of late.So hey, why not. I didn't mind, as long as I wasn't in danger and not messing up anyone's life. It wasn't as if I was told to kill anyone. I'd have drawn the line there.So I did what I was told to.I was glad I took up the offer though, the man was an IT whiz.I did some research on him to find out if what he told me was true and it all panned out.The man's father was a king, for crying out loud.If I were to be the next king, I wouldn't have wasted time. I'd have left all this behind and ascended the throne. I made a sound of disgust at the back of my throat.Typical case of a child wanting to get away from his rich parents and pave his own path.Yeah, naah, I'll pass.My parents were rich and I
Chapter 20GEOFFREY"Don't let it get away." His high pitched voice rang out."I'm trying, but it's moving away real fast." I replied.The snake slithered away and we chased after it, but lost it in the underbrush. We ran after it as brambles and dry thorns bit into our tender skin. A shout rang out from the house behind us."You boys had better come inside right now before I spank your behinds."After a short while, we came out looking bedraggled, our skins bruised and bleeding, our clothes dirty and torn.She stood at the doorstep of the house, an attractive young woman. A hand on her ample hips and a heavy frown on her face.As we got close to her, she gasped aloud."What happened to you two? You're both bleeding. Look at your clothes, they're filthy. You've gone running off again, I see. What happened?" She focused her eyes on us.We looked down shamefacedly, not saying a word, then he spoke up timidly."I'm sorry, mum, we were chasing a snake and it got away so we ran after it."
Chapter 21EYAREI woke up to the chatter of birds chirping. With my eyes still closed, I searched for her but my hands came up empty.The bed was still warm. Her scent filled my nostrils and I breathed in deeply. I loved waking up with her in my arms. Where could she have gone? I heard the creaking of the bed and felt it dip. Her scent was stronger now."Come here!" I said. My arms outstretched.I frowned when she didn't fill them, but I was rewarded with her warm body against mine some seconds later. "Baby, where did you go?" I pouted. "I missed you." She didn't respond, so I opened my eyes.She was smiling mischievously, a matchstick in her hand, poised against my ears. I knew what she was about to do. She thought my eyes were still closed, so I clamped them shut and lunged at her.She squealed and started giggling as I tickled her. The matchstick dropped from her fingers and I got up and pinned her to the bed, holding her captive with her two hands. She was grinning from ear to ea
Chapter 22EYAREI tried valiantly, to get myself under control.I didn't want Osagiede to see the diary, so I pocketed it. I didn't even want her to know I had already read the contents of it.I was still feeling light-headed, so I went to take a shower, leaving the diary in the pocket of my Jeans.After I got out, I laid down on the bed, tossing and turning. I couldn't sleep, neither had I come to any conclusion on what to do yet.Does it mean he snuck into the house while we were away?Was it Geoffrey or someone trying to play a sick trick?Had he been watching us all this time?Watching Osagiede?Watching our baby?All these questions begged for answers, but none as forthcoming.An involuntary shudder ran through me at that thought of him watching Osagiede and out baby. I couldn't take it anymore, so I got up. I couldn't think of anyone else to call except Gboyega. "Hey man, where are you?" I tried to keep the tremors out of my voice but failed miserably."On my way to your place,
Chapter 23OSAGIEDEI looked at him while he slept.I couldn't stop myself.Before I knew it, I began caressing his handsome face. I traced his well-defined jaw, feeling the rough stubble beneath my finger tips. I took in his full lips. These lips have done a number on me many times. They were slightly parted, a light snore filtering through them.My heart squeezed with love for this man --- my husband.He was everything Geoffrey wasn't --- kind hearted, selfless and patient. Too patient, but most of all, he was a wonderful father. I was so honoured to have him as my husband.I should never have gotten back with Geoffrey. What the hell had I been doing all this while Cavorting like a damn prostitute.Sobs racked my body once more, as words spilled unheeded from my lips.Forgive me my love, forgive me for all the wrongs I've caused you... two times over.He stirred beside me and my heart leapt into my mouth.Had he heard me?Oh God, I hope not. I couldn't stand any form of scorn from hi
Chapter 24EYAREI expected Red to have contacted me on the day he said he would.That was one week ago.I had been holding back on calling him, because I didn't want to seem too eager, but damn it, this was my wife we were talking about.My hands hovered over my phone. They were itching to tap on his number.Oh what the heck!I snatched it up and dialed his number. It rang and rang until it rang off. I called again, still no pick up. I stood up from my chair and began pacing the length of my office. I just knew I wasn't going to get any job done today. When I looked at the time, it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon.I'd better push off home then. I'd cleared my table for the day, anyway. I stuck my head into Mr. Jolaoso's office and told him I was off. He grunted something unintelligible and continued typing on his laptop. I smiled. He didn't like being disturbed when he was working, it made him loose focus. I understood perfectly.As I drove unto the free way, I suddenly didn't feel li
