Sinopsis

Revenge

Betrayal

CEO

Drama

“Now take your bastard daughter and get out of my sight! If you ever step foot into this mansion again, you will die!” Elsa Boseman’s thunderous voice sounded all over the room. Her lips quivered as the tears streamed down her cheek freely. “No..mother in-law, please! I’m innocent!” She cried from the floor where she was kneeling before Elsa Boseman. “Leave, you slut! Take this bastard and get out of this place!” She heard Mrs Taiwo’s voice and her tears increased. “Guards! Guards! Take her out!” Dotun's provoking voice sounded all over the room. “No..I’m innocent, please don’t throw me out! Mother in-law!” She cried as she rushed over to Elsa Boseman. “No.. mother, I have nowhere to go!” She cried as she knelt before the two women. She was pulled up by the guards along with her daughter who was still crying uncontrollably. As she struggled with the men, she took a glance at Daren who was sitting dejectedly on the long couch with his head bowed. “My love, I'm innocent! Please don’t let them throw me out! Daren!” She shouted with her full strength but he remained silent and didn’t look in her direction. ** The rumbling of thunder could be heard as the rain continued to pour down mercilessly. Her lips continued to quiver and her body trembled as she wrapped her one year old daughter in her bosom. She thought of everything happening in her life at the moment. She had been accused, betrayed and rejected by the family she had worshiped all through the years. She looked at her daughter who was now sleeping peacefully in her arms and she sighed. “I will make them pay,” she said as flashes of lightning appeared in the sky.

AT THE BANQUET HALL

FLASHBACK

In the spacious luxury room, she sat before the mirror, brushing her long black artificial hair tenderly. A smile appeared on her red full lips as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Everything about her speaks splendor. From her glittering necklace and earrings, down to her black one shouldered cocktail dress which flows down to her toes. She heard the door creaking and she turned and saw an able- bodied, young man with spotless brown skin, stepping into the room. He was dressed charmingly in black fitted suit and red bowtie with his derby shoes leaving traces of sounds as he walked in stylishly.

He stood behind her with his arms placed on the armchair she was sitting on. Their faces beamed with smiles as they stared at their reflections in the mirror.

“Would you give me a second chance to propose?” He asked and she laughed, exposing her white set of teeth.

“Oh, come on, don’t be silly,” she said as he took her hand and helped her up.

“You look stunning, breathtaking, and your mesmerizing beauty is what I can't help but stare at all day long,” he said in appraisal as they both stood, facing each other.

“Honey, we are almost in our fourth year of marriage and there is not a single day you don’t flatter me,” she said with a charming smile on her face.

“I love you, ife mi and that’s what’s driving me crazy,” he said with a smile as he kissed her forehead and she laughed.

He placed his arms on her smooth fair skin and then looked into her eyes.

“Isn’t this the reason she’s jealous of you?” He asked.

“You mean, Diana?” She asked with a chuckle.

“Yes, your beauty intimidates her a lot,” he said and they both laughed.

“Babe, come on, we’re gonna be late for the party. I don’t want to be in the Boss lady’s bad book. Of course I'm in her bad book already,” she lamented with a sigh as she looked away from his face.

“Hey, are you referring to my grandmother as the boss lady?” He asked with a chuckle and she giggled.

“Of course she is, she’s the boss lady of this family and you know what? Ever since I heard she’s returning, I’ve been thinking of how to cope with her constant nagging, and how she would always remind me of my childlessness,” she continued to lament.

He turned her face slowly towards him and he placed his hands over her arms.

“We will face it together. I’ve told you, I'm always here beside you and not even my family can separate me from you,” he said.

She heaved a sigh and her eyes welled up with tears. He quickly brought out a white handkerchief and wiped her tears slowly.

“It’s gonna be fine. Breath in, breath out, and remember that Daren will always love you,” he said and kissed her lips.

“Stop, you’re ruining my makeup,” she cried as he continued to kiss her.

“Daren.., stop it!” She cried as she hit his shoulders and he ran away to the door.

“Tonight, I'm gonna put something in there,” he said as he pointed at her tummy while she kept on staring at his lips which were stained with her red lipstick. She laughed as she saw him looking just like a clown and he stopped as he saw her laugh.

“What? Why are you laughing?” He asked.

“Sort yourself out in the mirror,” she said with laughter.

“Shit!” He cursed and wiped his lips and they both laughed.

*

Slow music played in the background as people moved all around the banquet hall which was all lit up with different decorative lights that night. The clattering of glasses and slow voices could be heard and a few people could be seen in circles, laughing and discussing in low tones.

Today, the Mother of the Taiwo’s family would be arriving in Nigeria after seven years since she was last seen. And a party had been thrown at the mansion, awaiting her arrival.

As they stepped down the stairs leading to the banquet hall, they became the center of attraction.

“Wow, Lisa, you’re looking so beautiful,” some of the ladies praised as they rushed towards her.

“Thank you,” she said with a smile

“The couple of the night,” A male voice sounded behind them. They both turned and saw a middle aged man with gray hair walking towards them. He was dressed in blue agbada and cap with a glass of wine in his right hand.

“Father,” Daren called with a smile as he prostrated in front of him.

“Father in-law,” Melisa called and knelt before him.

“You are both looking stunning tonight,” He complimented as he patted their shoulders.

“Thank you, father. You too, you are looking great,” Daren said with a smile.

“Charles,” they heard an enchanting female voice behind them. They turned and saw a middle aged, slim, fair and elegantly dressed lady walking towards them. She was donned in a pure white jumpsuit with an expensive fur coat hung over her shoulders. Her small long face was beautified with very expensive makeup that suited her face perfectly. She stopped in front of them with her bodyguards standing beside her.

“I’ve been looking all over the place for you,” she said as she looked at her husband sternly.

“Elsa, I was..,” he tried to speak.

“My mom is at the airport already. You will go to the airport with the men to pick her up,” she ordered.

Silence fell in and Daren looked at his father whose face became downcast.

“But mom..,” he tried to speak.

“I wasn’t talking to you,” she shot and he kept silent.

He tried to speak again but his wife pinched him.

“Why should I be the one to go to the airport to pick up your mom?” Charles asked in a low tone.

“Because I said so,” she said sternly.

He nodded and she turned and walked away with the men.

“Father,” Daren tried to speak.

“It’s fine, take care of yourselves. I will be back,” he said and walked away.

He swallowed hard as he watched his father walk away.

“Come, it’s enough, you don’t have to always stand up against your mother,” Melisa said as she placed her palm in his.

“Brother,” they heard someone call ahead of them. They looked up and saw a tall able bodied young man, dressed in black suit and bowtie, walking hand in hand with a tall, ebony, slim lady, dressed in a black long dress.

They kept silent as the couple walked towards them and stood in front of them.

“Melisa, I must say, you are looking so stunning,” he praised as his small round eyes scanned her face down to her body.

“Same as your wife,” Daren said with a smirk on his face.

Melisa kept silent as she looked at the ebony lady whose face was as hard as a stone. Their eyes met and she turned away immediately.

“Hello, Diana,” she greeted as she forced a smile on her face.

The lady looked away and waved back her short black artificial hair.

“Dotun, shall we proceed?” She asked as she looked at her husband.

Just then, a little chubby boy in black suit ran into them and he hugged Melisa’s knees tightly.

“Aunty,” he called in excitement, exposing his big gap tooth.

“Dele, you are looking stunning,” she said with a smile as she tried to touch his head.

“Dele, come over here, now!” Diana yelled and the boy moved away from Melisa slowly.

“What was that?” Daren asked angrily as he shot an angry look at Diana.

“Ask your barren wife,” she shot as she held her son and walked away.

“What!” Daren barked as he watched her walk away.

“Oh, I didn't see that coming. Maybe you guys should really work on having kids of your own,” Dotun added with a smirk and walked away.

Melisa remained still with tears clouding her eyes. She gulped as Daren took hold of her hand.

“Honey, don’t do this now, no tears,” he said as he stood in front of her and held her face tenderly.

“I’m.. I’m not crying,” she sniffed as she tried to hold back the tears.

“Come, Evan and Toyosi are here, let’s go over to greet them” he said as he tried to drag her along.

“No.. you know I’m not quite comfortable with Toyosi. You can go ahead and I will join you guys,” she said.

“Ok, take care,” he said and walked into the crowd.

She dragged her feet slowly as she moved over to a table. She sat dejectedly and took a glass of alcoholic wine from the waiter’s tray. As she sipped her drink slowly, she became lost as she thought of all the abuses she had received due to her childlessness. She doesn’t know what the problem was and they’ve both spent a lot of money visiting several hospitals. The doctors had assured them that they were both okay and should only be patient.

But how could she be patient when everyone at the Taiwo’s family had been nothing but a pain in the ass? She thought.

She dropped her drink slowly on the table and ran her hand through her long black artificial hair. Just then, she heard a voice from the stage and everyone turned their attention to the man speaking on stage. The lights were turned off as the man began to speak while everyone listened in anticipation.

“Attention everyone, It’s my pleasure to announce the arrival of her lady, the wealthiest woman in the whole of Nigeria, Our great mother, Mrs. Selina Taiwo!” He announced and there were cheers as dramatic music began to play in the background while the lights came up slowly.

Her heart skipped, her feet turned cold as she looked at the entrance of the banquet hall to see her greatest fear standing right in front of her.

THE PLOT
The hall was thrown into a frenzy as able bodied men in black outfits appeared at the entrance of the hall. Walking in the middle of the men was Selina Taiwo, one of the wealthiest women in the whole of the country. She was clothed fully in a long black corset dress that flowed down her toes, with a long white fur coat hung over her shoulders. Her small round face, coupled with high cheekbones was heavily beautified with makeup which made her wrinkles less visible. She moved her slender, short stature with pride as she waved at the crowd who were cheering as she walked. Flashlights and cameras became the order of the day as everyone struggled to capture a picture of this woman who was one of the most influential women in the country as a whole. She stood up from her seat as she saw Daren running towards her. “Love, our attention is needed,” he said as he grabbed hold of her hand and they both walked away. As she stood with her husband alongside other members of the family, her

THE ODDS
In the small well furnished chamber, they both sat on the long black couch with their hands resting on each other, watching Elsa Boseman walk into the chambers. She was dressed in a long silver corset dress and black heels which made sounds as she walked. She took her seat on the couch opposite them and one of the men poured drink in the glass on the table before her. She crossed her legs stylishly as the glass was handed over to her, and her eyes fixed on the couple sitting together before her with smiles on their faces. “You said you have something to say, spill it,” she urged as she looked away from their faces. Dotun took a glance at his wife whose face was beaming with a smile. She adjusted her short black hair and cleared her throat. “Mother, we are here because of Daren. We witnessed what happened last night between him and grandmother and we are quite concerned about his welfare. I guess the issue of his childlessness is taking a great toll on him and that’s the reaso

WE WILL FIGHT
She ran into the room, panting heavily and she stood for a moment as she saw him walking over to the wardrobe. “Love, what are you doing?” She cried as she walked over to meet him. He paid no attention to her while bringing out his clothes from the wardrobe. “Daren!” She cried hysterically. He let out a sigh as he stopped before the bed with his back facing her. He could hear her sobbing behind him and his heart softened for a moment. He dropped the clothes on the bed and turned to face her. “My love, we have to leave,” he said. She wiped the tears running down her cheek immediately and she raised her eyes to his face. “Leave for where?” She asked in a rather high tone “Leave to a place where we can have our own peace. I can’t withstand the pressures any longer. It’s time to leave!” He shouted. “Really? You want everyone to see me as the bad wife who turned you against your family? You want to make me a bad woman in front of the public?” She asked. “Who cares what p

I'M TIRED
In the dark room, he sat on the armchair beside the glass window where he could see her silhouette standing before the window as she sipped from her glass slowly. “Now that the rules have been made, I don’t know why I still feel so unsure about this whole thing. I mean, do you think Grandmother Selina would hand over the company to me so easily?” He asked as he stared at her back which was facing him. She let out a chuckle and he could see her turning slowly to face him. “Of course not,” she said calmly and his brows raised. “If not, then what’s the need for the plan anyway?” He asked in a rather high tone. She gave a slow silent laughter as she walked closer to him. “You think this is the plan? No, this is only the tip of it,” she said as she knelt before him with her hands placed on his laps. “Then what’s the plan?” He asked impatiently. “The plan is to destabilize Daren’s relationship with the family,” she said mischievously. He kept silent for a while, trying to r

THE IDEA
She felt her heart stop for a moment as the words hit her hard. Her brows gathered and she opened her mouth to speak but the words were stuck. She gave Rita a death stare that made her shift uncomfortably in her seat and she looked away immediately. “Rita, are you saying, I should sleep with some other guy to get pregnant?” She asked in disbelief. “It’s just a suggestion, and I told you it won’t sit well with you. But you asked for it anyways,” she said, as she rolled her white bulgy eyes. “No, I can’t believe you’re saying this,” she said with a scoff as she placed one hand on her waist. “Lisa, right now, you don’t have an option, do you?” She asked. “Rita, we’ve known each other since campus days and you know how deep my relationship with Daren was, during those times. All those times, I never cheated on him and you think I will do that now? You think I will do that now that we are both married? Gosh, and who says Daren is the problem?” She asked in a rather high tone “No

I WILL DO IT
He stood up from the bed and hurried to the door with his wife following behind him. As he opened the door, Diana’s furious face appeared in front of him. She was wearing a black nightie with one hand placed on her waist as she stared at him angrily. “What’s..what's the problem?” He asked at once. “Where is that stupid wife of yours?!” She barked and Melisa appeared from the room. “Are you calling my wife stupid?” Daren asked aggressively as his brows gathered. “Yes! Come with me and see how she almost killed my son!” She slammed. “Diana, me? Kill your son?” Melisa asked in surprise. “What stupid accusation is this? Are you okay?!” Daren slammed in her face. “Accusation? Accusation? Come with me and see what you did to my son!” She barked as she stormed away from them and headed out of the passage while they followed behind her slowly. “What’s this crazy lady talking about?” Daren asked in confusion as they all walked down the stairs. They could see Dotun in the livin

I NEED A DISGUISE
She sat in front of the mirror, applying makeup on her face slowly. Clothed in a long red one sleeve dress, she was looking so stunning that morning as she stared at her beautiful reflection in the mirror. Her face was gloomy as she still hasn’t gotten over everything that happened last night. But today, she was determined. Determined to be a woman and do the right thing as her mother in-law has said. She saw Daren’s reflection in the mirror. He was standing behind her, dressed in a black fitted suit and tie. He planted a kiss on her head and rubbed her shoulders gently. She heaved a sigh and didn’t say a word as he continued with the act. He could see her gloomy face in the mirror and he felt his heart sink. They hadn’t spoken much since last night and he knew how deeply hurt she was. He felt so bad for becoming the cause of all her woes. He knew the sacrifices she had made to be with him and he couldn’t bear seeing her go through all these pains all because of him. “My love,” h

THE RAPE
Donned in black jeans trousers and black blouse, She stepped out of the elevator and walked hastily along the passage where she could see different rooms with tags on both sides of the passage. With a black scarf around her face, and black sunglasses shielding her eyes, she had disguised perfectly to avoid arousing suspicions from the public. She heaved a sigh as she stopped in front of the room with a tag, 406. She could feel her hands trembling as she tried to knock on the door. Was she really ready for this? She asked herself. Maybe she could just turn back now before it’s too late, she thought as she heaved a sigh. What if this was the only way out to free herself and Daren from the so much agony they’ve been through? She asked. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door slowly. She waited patiently with her heart pounding so fast. She knocked again and a grumpy male voice sounded from the room. “Come in,” the voice sounded in her ear and she gulped and opened the door

REGRETS
“He raped you?!” Rita’s dismayed voice sounded in the living room. She was sitting on the couch with Melisa who was weeping uncontrollably. “How..how did it happen? I don’t get it. He was supposed to have sex with you, not rape you. Why did he rape you?” She asked in disbelief. “I wanted to pull out. I wasn’t interested in the deal any longer. I mean, I couldn’t let that guy get in between my legs. He’s a maniac!” She screamed. “You wanted to pull out?” Rita asked in disbelief. “Yes! I couldn’t do it! I couldn’t cheat on Daren!” She cried as she looked at her face angrily. Rita sighed and looked away from her face. “But you weren’t supposed to pull out,” she said, scratching her hair. “Why?! Do you think it was easy in the first place trying to cheat on Daren?!” She slammed with her body shaking violently. “No, but you should have made up your mind before going. I guess you made him angry,” she said in a calm tone. “Angry? I paid him his fucking money and why should h
