Dekunle didn't say anything to her, just glared at her for a while and then walked away. Benny sank into the sofa and started sobbing. She shouldn't have taken out her frustration on her husband. She'd talked too much and hurt his feelings. How can she be so insensitive? Why is she like this, why had she subjected herself to this kind of temper, against Dekunle of all people? In the remote hotel, Diana remained there and sobbed her eyes out. Oh her days, she wrapped the dirty duvet around her body and peeped out of the room, everywhere was deserted. Only a few poor wretches would patronise places like this. She can't remain that way. She needs to find a way to get out of the dirty place. She walked to the front desk and saw a lady there, asleep. She contemplated on sneaking away and find help out there but just taking a step, the lady asked: “Sneaking away, miss?” the receptionist asked and Diana's steps got glued to that spot. She couldn't leave and she careful
“What?” Stan snapped at her and stepped back. “No Sophia. I am not going to do that. I said fight your fears, not get your lips entangled with mine. I will not” he affirmed. Oh goodness! He didn't say it because he wants her to do something silly like kissing him. “Oh no, you will. First you advised me to fight my fears. I agreed and willing to do so and you're not going to help me achieve it? If I'm really going to fight my fears, it has to begin this way. And secondly, aren't you my boyfriend? Are you going to say no to your own woman? If I want something more intimate, aren't you going to give me as long as it's within your power to do it? So you're going to kiss me, Stan” Sophia snapped at him. “I'll surely do it on another circumstance. But not now. How can you ask me to kiss you Just after saying you should fight your fears? Please Sophia I will never take advantage of you ever again neither will I do or act in ways to satisfy my interest..” Stan refused.
She picked another fruit and the servant returned with two glasses of cups and a sealed water bottle. She placed it by the bench table and bowed before leaving. Stan smiled and thought, she's really fun to be with. “You know what I'm saying, just answer me already” he said, staring at her intently. Sophia just wants to pull his legs. She knows what he was saying or where he was heading. “You can't assume that. Just say it properly like the doomeenering Stan Asher I used to know” she insisted and Stan started laughing. She used to know him as domineering but not anymore. “Okay” Stan said, calming himself and gazing at her “do you agree to be my girl because you took pity on me as a drunk or you think I should be given a chance to prove myself to you?” Sophia nodded “Now, you've asked a complete question. I just felt attracted to you. But I do not equal that attraction to love. Besides being my son's father, I'm willing to try something out with you” Sophia ex
Sophia took the food and Stan smiled. Amil nodded at his father's question and he was dazed. Did he really want to make things difficult for him getting any closer to her? Quickly Sophia swallowed and took pity on Stan. “Listen baby, you don't have to become rivals with your daddy to win my heart. You have won it already. But your daddy has a lot of work to do, to make me fall in love with him, okay” she explained and caressed his head. Stan smiled quietly. A woman doesn't have to be impressed before loving her children, in fact every parent. But in situations like himself and Sophia, he needs to work hard to win her heart. They remained that way until Sophia ate to a certain extent. She's full and tells Stan that she's okay. He nodded and pushed the dish away. He held her hands, her eyes a little brighter than before and said “Please don't return to crying again. Your grandfather might appear to be dead because you can't feel his touch anymore but you'll
He squinted when he saw his wife resting against the wall, sobbing. Her eyes were reddened already and she sniffled. She glanced at her husband and started “Kabir called me to inform me that Diana's whereabouts is unknown…” She explained how he said he saw her last the day they were in the hospital. Her cellphone number is not going through and her whereabouts is unknown. It's getting late already and they don't know about her. Dekunle sighed softly and said “I'll call the chief of police” He got back into his home office and picked his phone. He made a few calls and Benny was by his side. She's happy that Dekunle showed concern. It sweetens her belly to see him calling, not just the police but some private detectives to search her out. When he ended those calls, he called Kabir “make sure you give us feedback on how far you're going about it. I've called the police…” he informed and Kabir said he'd asked some officials to check if there's a record of her at
Could it be that the bastard already slipped away? She looked further, there were no signs that he was there. The backpack that contained the money was no longer there. There was no sign of him. This is good news, she needs to leave as soon as possible. She got out from the bed carefully, her legs wide apart as a result of the calamity that had befallen a certain part between her legs. She went to the restroom, dirty restroom to be precise and discovered there was not a single water, he'd messed the place up. All her life, she'd never seen a horrible scene like this before. She hurried out, not willing to wait another minute, otherwise she would faint. But her dress was nowhere to be found. It was gone. This is evil, she thought and went to find her phone, which was also gone. In fact, her hand bag was entirely gone. She didn't know what to do as she broke down in tears. She started sobbing. He took her dress away, she could not step out and her phone was gone
