“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

Harmony stared and opened her eyes as the sun rays hit her eyes through the opened curtain.She climbed down from the bed, wore her slippers and walked blindly out of the room but she became wide awake when she saw a shirtless Ichabod walking out of his room as well.They both ran into each other in the middle of the passage and stopped, looking at each other in shock. All of a sudden, she remembered the robe she was wearing would probably be showing off her cleavage so she cleared her throat and covered her chest with her hands…“Good morning.” Ichabod managed to say, looking away.“Morning.” She replied feeling uncomfortable and looking away as well.“I needed a cup of water.” He said even though he had no reason to tell her.“Okay, I just wanted to drink something myself.” She replied and they both nodded at the same time but neither made a move. Harmony could feel her heart beating so fast as she tried not to stare at the shirtless man in front

Harmony’s POVMinutes later, I was sitting at the same spot we had sat the previous night but now with a considerable amount of space between us. I had poured myself a drink but he was standing beside the fridge, gulping down a bottle of water. I still couldn’t shake the awkward feeling off of me.Why did he apologise for leaving like that? Had he wanted to kiss me back as well? I knew he wasn’t looking at me but while I took my drink, I couldn’t help but check him out with the corner of my eye. Oh dear lord, this man is so fine it makes me hot all over.I wondered if he had a girlfriend because I could totally picture myself getting naked with him, running my hands all over his thick lustrous hair and…oh, those eyes of his…as blue as the ocean, looking at me with so much gentleness…they were the perfect shades of….Oh crap! He was looking at me! I coughed out my drink as I realized and he stood up, walking closer to me and aski

“Why didn’t you fight back Ichabod?” She asked, some minutes later after the men were gone. He was now in a white shirt and they were sitting at the bar.He shrugged. “It was pointless. I didn’t want to disrespect you and I had no interest in causing trouble. Besides, he’s just being a jealous father and he hates the fact that his reputation is at stake.” He replied.Harmony sighed. “I am just glad that Tracy didn’t see all that happened, poor girl. She would have been so frightened.”“How did you two meet? Was he a good guy before and then he suddenly went to the bad side?”Harmony poured herself more drink.“I was so young and stupid. I had just become a star and he was a popular coach. We were the Nigerian sweethearts, we were famous and everyone loved us so we dated. I thought he was a good man but when we got closer, I realized he was a selfish buffoon. I got impregnated on a careless night and he wanted me to get rid of it. I refused, I don’t have

ICHABODThat evening, they had ended up in the club.Rashidat had spoken with him over the phone some minutes ago and she said it was urgent and they needed to see. That was right, after what Odin had done the previous night. Adam had driven to Harmony’s house and from there, Ichabod had sent him the address of the club they were. Now they were on their way.Adams had been calling him and he had to rush out to pick. It was around 5 pm. “Hello Adam, where are you?”“We are outside; Rashidat will come meet you while I bring the van around.”“Okay,” he said, ending the call. Some minutes later, he saw the blue van and a lady stepped out of it, it was Rashidat. She crossed over to meet him while Adams drove ahead to turn.**Harmony sighed, checking the time. She wondered where he had run off to.“Hey, is everything okay?”She looked beside her; it was her best friend, “hey, did you see I

Harmony was confused, what was wrong with her? Why was she giving him attitude? Even if the lady was his girlfriend, she shouldn’t have a problem with that should she? Why did this man have so much influence on her emotions…? Ever since she saw him with another woman, something had gone wrong in her and she couldn’t shake off the feeling. She thought about talking to him but he stood and left, her heart sank…**Ichabod removed the ring and placed it on the table before going into the bathroom to take his bathe. His mind was on how he would manage the Monogen till the full moon. He hated Odin, he liked messing things up and he wasn’t even messing things up for him alone, he was doing it for both of them. He sighed as the cold water hit his body…now Harmony had been acting quite strange, what was her problem anyway? It had started ever since he left the club to go see Rashidat and…wait a minute, had she seen him w
Ichabod Chapter 32
When his lips brushed mine, it was like a beautiful electrocution. The kiss wasn’t teasing or passionate, it was electrocuting, setting all my entire body on flame. I couldn’t even pull away if I wanted to, no, I didn’t want to. I couldn’t think straight, all my senses have been seduced. The only things I could feel right now were the taste and the smell of him.“Denis…” he breathed my name, slowly, prolonging each letter. My heart fluttered at the seductive sound of his voice and I leaned in closer, clasping my hands on either side of his face. I have never heard my name being called so sweetly like that… He kissed me hungrily, knocking all the wind from my lungs and I returned it savagely. I felt a moan escaped my lips as he pressed his tongue to the seam of my lips, I opened wider, granting him more access. I arched up against his broad chest…I wanted all of him. I could feel moisture in between my legs and then I felt a painful scratch but I was too occupied to be distract

He watched her as she carefully applied the lipstick to her lips before proceeding to carve the eyebrows. He chuckled in the darkness and the lady turned around, a little bit frightened but she recomposed herself on seeing him.“You need to stop doing that Odin, no one wants you here,” Rashidat said as she applied the rest of her makeup.“Oh, Odin growled, “that hurt my feelings and here I thought you are looking beautiful to impress me.”Rashidat hissed, “you are such a pain in the ass.”“And you are such a naughty girl,” he said, getting closer to her and sniffing in her perfume. The lady was non-challant, she kept on doing what she was doing. Odin found her pair of earrings and handed one to her. Just as she was about to collect, he withdrew his hands.“If you are not going to help me, would you just drop my earrings for me?”Odin chuckled mischievously, “and waste all the fun?” he said and then proceeded to hook the earring to the lady’s ear.
Ichabod Chapter 34
Rashidat couldn’t believe she had almost kissed him. What the hell was that? She sighed and picked up her bag. She had a club to go to and he had delayed her enough. She turned and was headed out when she heard some noise like a man groaning.“Who is that?” She shouted, thinking it was probably Odin playing a trick on her. “Odin, I do not have time for this,” she said but was surprised as a man came crashing into the set of chairs in the passage, startling her.“Oh my God! What the hell!” she shouted but was more surprised when she saw Odin, grinning. “Odin what are you doing? Who is this man?” she asked him, looking at the man in suit who was now bleeding from the mouth and had lost consciousness.“I found him sneaking around, is he a friend of yours?” Odin asked, his eyes shimmering against the light of the yellow bulb.“No, I don’t know him,” Rashidat replied, now a bit scared as Odin was finally showing his real self. “How did you find him?”
