The Billionaire’s Debt Bride Balance
One year later.The first truck rolled out of the Apapa yard at six in the morning, with a blue ribbon tied round its mirror and a banner across the grille.BELLO FREIGHT & LOGISTICS: BACK ON THE ROAD.Two hundred employees lined the tarmac, the old ones who had been scattered and the new ones who had been hired. They cheered as the engine caught. They cheered louder when Zainab Bello, eighteen years old, tall and clear-eyed and fiercely healthy, climbed onto the cab step with a pair of scissors and cut the ribbon."I now declare," she announced, in her best chairwoman's voice, "that this company is open for business. And that Tobi owes me fifty naira.""I did not agree to a bet," said Tobi."You did, at the wedding. You said it would rain.""It did rain.""Not on the ribbon."Daniel Obi, standing beside Mrs. Bankole in a new grey suit, covered his face with a handkerchief and laughed until his shoulders shook.* * *The wedding had been three weeks earlier.It had not been in a cathe
The Billionaire’s Debt Bride The Sea Wall
The suya woman remembered them."The man with the pepper," she said, grinning, as they came down the sand at dusk. "Two sticks. Extra.""Two sticks," Damian agreed, "and a bottle of water.""Last time you were fighting," she said, nodding at Ada. "Nobody eats that much pepper when they are happy."Damian, to Ada's delight, went faintly red.They sat where they had sat before, on the low wall above the lagoon, with their shoes off and their feet swinging. The sun was setting in long strokes of copper and rose. A few fishing boats drifted on the water. A child laughed somewhere along the shore.It was the same wall. It was the same sea. And yet, Ada thought, nothing about it was the same.She held the old silver coin in one hand and a stick of suya in the other and thought she had never been so happy."I need to tell you something," she said."Tell me.""When I signed that contract, I meant to destroy you.""I know.""I meant to take your house, your company, your name. I meant to watch

It took him eleven days.Eleven days in which the Okafor house emptied of reporters. In which Zainab, restored to the full ferocity of teenage health, took over the library and rearranged every book by colour. In which Daniel Obi, nervous and delighted, moved into the guest wing and spent his mornings pretending not to cry when he found his own photograph in a drawer.In which Ada went back to Crestmont, who had telephoned with apologies and a promotion, and said she would think about it. And did.And on the twelfth morning, Tobi appeared at the door of her old room, hair neat, tie crooked, holding an envelope."Mr. Okafor requests the pleasure of your company. At ten o'clock. At the Bello warehouse in Apapa.""The Bello warehouse?""I was told to say nothing else.""Tobi.""I will say nothing else, ma."She went.* * *The old yard at Apapa lay under a hard blue sky, its gates standing open, its tarmac swept clean. Along the perimeter, a row of trucks gleamed in the morning sun, fort
The Billionaire’s Debt Bride What Remains
By morning, Lagos had stopped talking about anything else.CHIEF OKAFOR ARRESTED. The photographs were everywhere, an old man in a white agbada led down a hotel staircase, his cane in the hand of an officer, his face grey with something that was not quite fear. EMPIRE FALLS. FORTY YEARS OF FRAUD. THE BELLO DAUGHTER WHO BROUGHT HIM DOWN.Ada read none of it.She sat on the terrace of the Okafor house in a dressing gown, drinking tea made by Mrs. Bankole, with Zainab asleep in the chair beside her and the sun warming her shoulders. She had not slept. She did not feel tired. She felt scoured, like a floor after rain."The Attorney General has taken the case," said Barrister Nwosu, appearing in the doorway with a stack of papers. "Fourteen counts. Money laundering, conspiracy, fraud, and three charges relating to the death of Ngozi Okafor. He will not see the outside of a prison for the rest

The silence lasted four seconds.Then eight hundred people began to speak at once."Turn it off!" the Chief roared. "Turn it off! It is a forgery. A trick—""It is a recording, sir," said a thin voice. "Authenticated by two independent laboratories."Mr. Eze had stepped out of the crowd. His briefcase trembled in his hand. He did not look at the Chief. "I have the invoices. The routing slips. The instructions in your own writing. I have been paid in cash for six years to do your bidding, and I will say so before any court in the land.""Eze," said the Chief softly. "Think very carefully.""I have, sir. It took me a month."Beside him, Vivian had come forward in a swish of silver. Her face was white. Her hands, holding a leather folder, were steady."And I have every transfer made by Adeyemi Textiles on your instructions," she said. "Fourteen of them in March. The fraud that destroyed Bello Freight. My father kept copie
The Billionaire’s Debt Bride The Fortieth Anniversary
The ballroom of the Eko Grand glittered like the inside of a jewel.Eight hundred guests. Crystal chandeliers. A dais draped in gold, with a podium and a banner reading OKAFOR HOLDINGS: FORTY YEARS OF EXCELLENCE. At the centre of the head table, in a white agbada embroidered with gold thread, Chief Emeka Okafor sat like an emperor receiving homage.Ada watched him from behind a marble pillar at the back of the room.She wore a gown the colour of midnight. Beneath its folds, taped against her ribs, lay a tiny transmitter the size of a coin. Tobi sat at the technician's booth in the gallery, a headset on his ears, his hands hovering over a control panel."In position," he whispered in her earpiece."Wait for my word.""Yes, ma."Across the room, at a table near the front, Damian sat in black tie, his face carefully blank. Beside him were two empty places. Vivian had not yet arrived. Neither had Eze.Please,
