Chapter 18
The light that came on disrupted his sleep and he opened his sleepy eyes, forgetting where he was until he saw Harmony looking at him in shock.
“What are you doing Ichabod?”
Ichabod stood up immediately and trying not to show how embarrassed he was.
“You are really taking your job seriously. First, the toilet thing and now, you are baby-sitting my daughter. You shouldn’t. Seriously.” Harmony said, walking to where he daughter lay.
“Forgive me. I must have slept off.” He mumbled the words together.
Harmony said nothing but instead proceeded to wake her daughter up. Meanwhile Ichabod was about taking his leave when Harmony said. “Is that my tab?”
He turned around and realized he had left the tab on the floor. It must have dropped when he slept off....when Odin slept off. Wait, Odin slept off?
“What is my tab doing beside you Ichabod?” Harmony demanded, looking a bit displeased.
Ichabod was tongue-tied. “Well, I er...”

Well, Ichabod had been getting ready for this question. “Well, I’m from here and there.” He replied with a chuckle but Harmony only scoffed. “YourCV says you are from Baltimore, but I’m just curious, why Nigeria? Why body guard?”He smiled. “Well, I will answer you if you answer me this.” He said.“What?” She asked, giving him that sweet smile that made him fall in love with her centuries ago.“Why did you hire me?”**Harmony was surprised when he asked that. That was really a serious question. “Well, I...I don’t know. There was something about you that drew me to you...” she said, trying not to sound awkward. “You have this mystery surrounding you and I got intrigued.”“Well, let’s say that was why I came to Nigeria, to find you....and to protect you...”Harmony knew he was probably joking about this and wasn’t serious about saying all these. Maybe he was toying with her but the sincerity in his

“Yea. I just remembered I found something in my room when I woke up this morning, I don’t know how it got there. Did you come to my room last night? Is this yours?”He swallowed hard, unable to concentrate on his driving...“Idiot, just tell her a lie!” Odin snarled in his head.“Urm, yea, Ah...” He inhaled deeply, lying was not his thing really. While he stuttered, Harmony’s phone rang. Thank Goodness!He couldn’t believe how sweaty he was within how many minutes.“You are a so dumb! Seriously! You are her bodyguard! You could say you went to her room to check up on her when you heard noises in the room. Then you forgot it there. Ish! Do I need to do everything for you?”“Shut up Odin! It was your clumsiness that caused it in the first place!”“Yea? Bite me?”“Um, excuse me, Ichabod, are you talking to someone?” Harmony asked, looking at him in the mirror from the back seat.Odin chuckled, “caught i

Ichabod sipped from the wine in his hand. He had tried calling Adam but the noise of the party was so much he could barely hear what Adam was saying. How in the world was he going to catch himself?Different people graced the party, most of them were people he had seen their pictures with Harmony in the house. Talking of Harmony, she was standing with some other people as they took several group pictures.He checked the time, it was some minutes to ten in the night. The time was long gone. He caught Harmony’s signaling to him to come over and he immediately went to her. She excused herself from the group and walked up to meet him, she looked worried.“What is it?” He asked as he got close enough to be heard by her.“I’ve been trying to call Michael, his lines are not going through. I’ve sent several messages to him as well, he didn’t pick. I am so worried. I tried calling Debby, Tracy’s teacher, she is not picking either.”“Calm down. Does your daughter

The passageway was quiet but there were lights everywhere. There were six doors straight down so he walked to the last one. He listened attentively enough to pick the sound of Tracey’s sobs. He knocked.“Tracey, it’s Ichabod, open.”The sobbing stopped for a while but no reply.“I am so sorry for what your father did honey. But....”“He promised me Ichabod, Mum also thought that he was gonna come. Everyone will laugh at me again...” she sobbed.“I hate my daddy too you know.”She stopped sobbing, “why?”“If you open up, I will tell you.”For a while, there was no movement but the door opened eventually and her little face came out. She was already dressed in a white ball gown, white shoes and in her hand was a magic wand and a tiara was on her head.“Oh my God! You are such a beautiful angel....”She smiled, “I’m a beauty, silly.”Ichabod laughed and squatted to reach her height. “This gown is too beautiful to be wast

When he finally brought her down.Tracy turned to hug him tightly....“Thank you so much dear beast...you are the best...I love you...” She said, kissing him on the forehead.‘Tracy!” Tracy looked up only to see her mother smiling and running towards them...“Mum!” She cried for joy and ran towards Harmony who was finding her way through the crowd....“I saw you up dear, you looked so beautiful...you are beautiful. I am so proud of you...”“Mum did you see Ichabod! He was so good....”“Yes darling I saw him, I saw you too. I am so proud of you.” Harmony said, showering her daughter with kisses before standing up to see Ichabod but then he was gone. “He was just here… where did he go?” Tracy asked her mum, a little bit disappointed that her beast was gone. Harmony couldn’t understand as well. “Come on darling, maybe he needed to remove his costume.” She said, taking her daughter by the hand and leading her towards th

Harmony felt a sudden movement and opened her eyes, to her dismay, she was the only one in the room, and Ichabod had disappeared. She flushed in embarrassment and adjusted on her seat. She had been so stupid.What happened to her? “Damn it!”She stood up immediately and rushed to her bed room, closing the door behind her. She flung on her bed, biting her lips. “Girl why did you do that?”How in hell was she going to fix this? What exactly happened to her? Just like that, she had made herself look so stupid. What would Ichabod think of her? That she wanted to take advantage of him? But, she sighed and sat upright. The moment was so perfect, she had never felt so close to anyone like that, not even Michael. What Ichabod did for her and her child was special to her but still, she shouldn’t have made an attempt to kiss him. Even though she didn’t actually kiss him, it was like kissing him and him pulling away. Oh boy! That was a blow!

He watched her from where he stood, in the darkness. She was busy going through the catalogue of chemicals in the store. She wore a heavy pair of glasses which seemed to be covering the majority of her face. There was a torch in her hand, which she used for light.Some minutes later, she lifted two tubes from the catalogue and brought them to a table. On the table was something that looked like a machine or something Odin has never seen before. There was a little tray under the machine on which she poured some of the content and then she adjusted it and brought her face closer so she could take a look at it through two pointy things. She straightened up as her phone rang and then she removed the gloves in her hand.**“Hello father, what’s up? I’m still there. No, just had to run a quick check through some things….okay, I know it’s late. I will be careful. Yes I will be back soon.” She said before ending the call. While she put the phon

“Now Rashidat quit messing around.” He ordered her and pushed her to a chair. All of a sudden, the electricity came on and Rashidat screamed as she saw his face.”**“Oh my God! Who are you?” She asked, her chest rising and falling. The fear was so paralyzing she could hardly stand up.Odin smiled, “I think you meant what am I and if you think deep down, I am absolutely certain that you know who I am.” He said in a deep voice while smiling mischievously.Rashidat watched him as he went through her stuff, she was beginning to remember that he had seen someone that….”Oh my God..Ichabod…”Odin turned to her suddenly, his brows furrowed in a frown, “I think you are mistaken…”“No no, you are the other one. You are the other side aren’t you.”He grinned satisfactorily, “bulls eye! You brilliant girl. No wonder the old man came to you.”The expression on Rashidat’s face went from that of terror to admiration. “Oh my God! This is fasci
