"Bella why are you so inquisitive?"Raphael asked opening the doors of the room.
He quickly pulled her hands, bringing her outside with him before shutting the door."What does bella mean?"Nicole asked ignoring his questions.
"It means a beautiful lady"Raphael replied as he took her downstairs.
Nicole felt a glow in her cheeks and pressed her lips together, a nervous smile drawing on her lips.Raphael left her in the parlour as he retreated to the kitchen. Nicole slumped on the sofa she was seated on before and exhaled.
She still felt very scared of Raphael but at the same time she felt so worried.Why would Raphael join a mafia?
From her research yesterday,the only way to be free from the mafia was death. It shook her to the marrow. Why would Raphael get involved in such a dangerous group?How long had he been in the mafia?

Seconds rolled into hours as hours rolled into days and the days rolled into weeks since Nicole's visit to Raphael and also Jordan's proposal to Amarachi. Both sides grew closer, bonds strengthening as the days rolled by. Amarachi would listen continuously to Mother and Nicole ramble about her wedding and it always amused her because she was tired of explaining to them that she wasn't getting married immedately.She had discussed it with Jordan and they both decided to tie the knot a year later. Considering her plans to travel abroad was underway, marriage was the last thing on her mind but Nicole and mother were on deaf ears to her own side.

NICOLE How did I get myself into this? How did my life turn to this? I am really signed into an organisation I know nothing off and I want to know nothing off! Why did Raphael make me sign this?Questions like these sort answers in the maze called my mind. It felt like i was running round in circles. The more I tried to figure out how I got myself into the mafia, the more confused and frustrated I became. I loved Raphael. I really did.

Why was he in a freaking mafia?I just want to have a simple love life like other normal couples. I felt so distraught. What would become of my life now?A knock on the door probed into my thinking and Amara

A week had passed since that fearful incident. Nicole had entirely made sure to stay away from Raphael. She tried as much as she could to avoid his calls and texts and avoided places she knew she could bump into him.Even though she felt he was tracking and watching her, she tried her best to avoid him physically. Whenever she remembered that horrifying murder, it shook her and made her nauseous.Tobi worked under her father and he got to know of it. He was so distraught when he heard that Tobi passed away. Tobi was one of his brightest workers and loosing him was like loosing part of the brains of the company. Her father had promised to fund his funeral and he also urged the police to bring the murderers of Tobi to book.

Raphael buried his face down wards with his hands resting on the table in front of him. He didn't know how long he had been thinking but his thoughts ran wild. Nicole was avoiding him and it hurt him deeply. The only reason he killed Tobi was because the brute was forcing himself on her. Rape was something he could never tolerate.Sex should be by consent not by force. He wasn't just forcing himself on any woman, the motherfucker was forcing himself on his woman. And he had to teach him a lesson. A capital lesson. Now Nicole was avoiding him like a plague. He only did that to protect her. Her staying away from him was equivalent to starving him of food and water. He wanted to hold her in his arms and tell her a million times how much he loved her but she was avoiding him like he had leprosy. His love life was going hay wire and now he will have to leave for Italy soon. Ivan

AMARACHI I faced the large dressing mirror that stood on the wall horizontally.I couldn't believe I was actually back in Enugu. I felt so nauseous when we landed yesterday evening. I truly didn't know if it was because it was my first time using a plane or because of the fact that I was back in this state that held so much bad memories for me.Jordan held me softly as we waited for our designated driver that will take us to his mum's house. I couldn't even sleep well the entire night. I twisted and turned restlessly on the bed. I just couldn't wait for dawn so I could go meet aunty Lydia. I needed to move on and rap this up as soon as I could. Today would be the day I found out the truth surrounding my birth and my mother's death. I wanted nothing but the truth.All my life, I had alw

"Lydia why did you do this? My mother loved you, she loved Ogechi too. She wanted the best for all of us. Do you know she would always tell me back then that she couldn't wait to see I and Ogechi grow up to be successful women with good husbands? She loved your daughter Lydia. She loved you Lydia"Amarachi said as the tears kept streaming down her cheeks. She didn't even want to retrain herself from crying. She cried so uncontrollably that her body shook.

It was different from the car she knew Nonso had.She wondered if some other people were now living in the compound. She dreaded that thought.
