Yemisola was shocked at Dapo's behaviour. Never before had she ever seen her arrogant lover weep his heart out in that manner. Also, his actions in recent times showed that of a truth, Dapo Adejare had turned over a new leaf. He really was a besotted lover in recent times, spoiling her everyday with countless gifts, just to let her know that she was always in his thoughts. He rarely hung out with Dare, and the few times that Dare had come visiting, Dapo had so hammered him with the idea of settling down for his own good, so much so, that Dare had stopped coming to the house altogether. They only met now in Dapo's office, and if Yemisola was not welcome to any event, Dapo would not grace such event. It was no secret among their close knit friends that she was Dapo's wife in the true sense of the word; she was the one he delighted in, the one he came to for his needs to be met. She was the one who aroused his passion, the mother of his love child.
She bowed her he
Philip walked into the room soberly with his head bowed down. He had been invited in after his brief knock. He had known that it was only a matter of time before this meeting would eventually be summoned. In fact, the meeting was almost too late in coming in Philip's summations. The most recent happening had caused quite a stir, almost putting the whole hospital in great jeopardy. Philip knew without being told that a lesser placed staff member would have been shown the door with immediate effect but in his case, a call for this type of meeting could only mean one thing...That he was still a very much valuable hand in the establishment. He sent a silent prayer of thanks up to God first for another opportunity to prove himself. He then committed the meeting he was about to have into God's able hands.He greeted the occupants of the room who returned his greetings grimly. Philip was surprised at the number of people he met in the room; that w
Ego smiled happily as she spotted her husband from among the throng of the crowd at the airport. She walked hastily towards him. Her husband carried her in a delightful swirl as soon as she got to him. She had missed him so much, despite the fact that they had communicated every day during her two weeks holiday with her best friend in England.It was a good thing that Ego's husband had initiated the holiday. She and Ame had done the foolish things that only girlfriends could do, and they had left a disgruntled Rosa behind to tend to Ame's baby as the two friends had gone on a sightseeing and shopping spree, doing nothing but just enjoying the pure pleasure of being in each other's company. Even Rosa could attest to the fact that the holiday brought out a sheen in her daughter, such as her husband's visit had not been able to accomplish when he visited his young family earlier.Ame didn't look like a wife trapped in an unhappy and loveless ma
The Obasogie's mansion looked deserted as Ego made her way hastily inside. She had needed no clearance at the gate for she was treated as a member of the Obasogie family even by the domestic staff. She did not wait for her husband to tuck his car properly into the garage before she barged out of the car, nodding briskly to her husband's soft, "Careful, babe!" as she half-ran towards the mansion.Jide gratefully handed over his car keys to one of the drivers who had come to attend to him when he heard the sound of Jide's car heading towards the garage."Thanks, man," Jide said as he dashed after his wife as soon as he handed his car keys over to the driver. She was already on the marble steps leading upstairs to the private rooms of the family when he saw her. He bounded up the steps after her. He reached her as soon as she got to the landing and put a calming hand on her shoulder. He could tell by her slight trembling that she was much agita
The elderly Pa. Gbolade came into his living room. He was of an average build and was in his early sixties. He was dressed in just a simple 'buba' and 'sokoto' native attire. As he entered the room, the two well-dressed young men already seated got off their seats and prostrated, greeting the elderly man in the Yoruba fashion."E ka san sir! Good afternoon sir," they greeted politely one after the other.Pa Gbolade nodded as he raised his arms in acknowledgement of their greetings. He smiled warmly at them."E kaabo, you're welcome, my young men," he answered them. He took his seat, then gestured at the young men to get up. "Please have your seats, young men," he said.Dapo and his friend, Dare, promptly rose up from their prostrate position and briefly adjusted their clothes as they took their seats.In a bid to prove his genuine commitment to his Yemisola this time around, Dapo
A delivery van was just leaving the Obasogie's gate as Osahon's car rounded the bend which led to his gate. He drove inside the opened remote-controlled electronics gate but parked by the driveway when he entered the compound. He alighted from his car as the remote-controlled gate was being shut and strolled to the security post close to the gate."Good afternoon, young master," the guard on duty greeted him cheerfully, as he stood up from behind his desk."Good afternoon, Silas. I saw a delivery van leave here," Osahon said as he walked to the security personnel's desk.Silas nodded. "Yes, as a matter of fact, he brought this," and he thrust a well-wrapped package at Osahon.Osahon reached out for it, and noticed that his sister's name was
"What will you do now?" Dare asked his friend, Dapo. They were in Dare's house as Dapo had come on a weekend visit to Lagos with his lover, Yemisola, whose pregnancy was growing by the day.Dapo had exhausted all options available to him; he had even gone as far as soliciting the help of his uncle, who though assured him of his sworn silence, refused to follow him to Yemisola's father in Osogbo, to ask for her hand in marriage for fear of what his elder brother, Dapo's father, would do to him if he ever found out about his treachery.Dapo raked his hand through his hair. "Honestly, I don't know, my man," Dapo sounded confused himself.Yemisola had become unhappy as her father had put his foot down, insisting that Dapo's family owned up to claim his daughter as wife for their son as a proof that th
The shouting went on with Ame blocking her husband's path as he headed out of the house. The two female helps left in the house cowered in the corner of another room, overhearing all the noise as the couple brawled on."You're going nowhere, Dapo!" Ame thundered as she stood stoutly before her husband."Get out of my way, bitch!" Dapo snarled as
"Things are not done that way, Sunkanmi!" Chief Adejare argued heatedly with his younger brother.Having being summoned by his sister-in-law, Chief (Mrs.) Abiola Adejare, and being kept abreast of the situation, Adesunkanmi Adejare, younger brother to Chief Adejare, had paid his elder brother an unscheduled visit in the office the very next day after Chief Adejare's talk with Dapo, who was currently on an indefinite suspension by his father.
