"You will beat me? Oh....you are threatening to beat me now, aren't you?" Valerie asked.
"Yes...that's what I'm gonna do so I can put you in your stinking place!"
Valerie laughed. "Look who's talking about stinking! Don't you stink,huh?
"Leave my man alone,dumb ass!" Valerie snarled.
"You are spewing nonsense Valerie. There's nothing like your man. He's equally my man!" Stacey yelled back.
"I told you before Stacey and I'm gonna tell you again. You are the next person I'm gonna get rid of. Nina's out of the picture now.. get ready for your own downfall." Valerie said, staring wickedly at Stacey.

David was shocked as he stood there, listening to them. I was wasn't very surprised though. He knew they had a hand in the money stuff. He took in a deep breath and walked into the kitchen. The two ladies froze immediately but composed themselves alm
David sighed and walked out of the room, feeling relieved. At least,he finally said his mind. He didn't care what punishment Jericho was gonna melt out on him for talking rashly at him. He got outside the building and just then his phone began to ring.He looked at the call and blinked. It was Alicia.He stared up at the gate and started walking towards him. She must be at the gate.He thought.**Back in the torture room , Jericho continued staring at Nina until she uncomfortably looked away. "Look at me." Jericho ordered ans Nina slowly obeyed."Get up on your feet".Nina did as instructed,her heart playing party drums.Jericho moved closer and pulled her closer. He put his hand under her chin, turning her face here and there, probably searching for a wound.Nina closed her eyes,so scared to make an eye contact with him. He makes her so nervous. Nina thought.She was however surprised when Jericho grabbed he
David walked down the street together with a happy looking Alicia. She couldn't believe David of all people was walking hey home.She was thrilled."I'm sorry you couldn't see Nina. Just like I explained.....the boss is really angry. I hope you understand." David asked."Oh...it's nothing. I'm gonna check her tomorrow ony way to the grocery store." Alicia replied nervously."Are you in anyway angry with me?" David suddenly asked as they waited for a bus to pull over.Alicia nervously tucked her hair behind her hair before looking at David. "Huh? Not...at all. I've always admired you." She confessed.David smiled and just then,a bus pulled in front of them.David waved at Alicia as the bus pulled back into the road. He shrugged and walked back.**Williams looked up surprised that someone was coming into his abduction room at almost midnight. He was further surprised to see it was Jericho."You look like someone comi
**Two months later**Nina and Scarlett came out happily from the photo studio, looking so excited.They were through with their school and had decided to shoot some photos."I'm so excited to finally meet up and graduate. You do not know how I feel,Alicia. I'm thrilled." Nina said as they walked down the street.Alicia turned to look at her. "I know what you've been through in the past six months,Nina. So,I perfectly understand."But it's a good thing everything is gradually falling into place." Alicia replied.Nina nodded. "When are we coming to get our pictures?""The photographer said on Monday... that's three days from now. Should we attention the party hosted by the students?"Nina thought for a while. "I really don't think I can make it, Alicia. Its gonna be fun but I will be busy. I'm going for a job inte
Nina couldn't believe her ears.She was dumbfounded.**Alicia sighed and pulled out another tissue paper out of it's box and passed it to Nina who collected it and blew her nose.She's been crying ever since they got back from the hospital."Come on Nina. When are you gonna stop this?" Alicia asked, sounding very worried."You don't understand, Alicia. My life's turned out worst! Where do I start from? I.... can't be pregnant for Jericho. It's.. not possible." Nina wept harder."Do you think we should go....tell him?" Alicia asked and Nina looked at her."Are you crazy? Wait a minute.... you want me to go tell almighty Jericho the fire squared leader that I'm carrying his child? That's suicidal." Nina replied.She got up on her feet and stood beside the window. "I will look after this child myself
Nina's eyes widened as she heard David say that. "What does he want from me?" She asked feebly.David shrugged. "Who knows?" He replied.Nina sighed and walked back inside then David followed her in together with Alicia."What does he want from me? I thought.....he let us go already?" Nina asked, standing akimbo as she turned to look at David."Sit, Dave." Alicia sighed.David sat down before looking at Nina. "Calm down,Nina. You are hyperventilating."Nina breathed in and sat opposite David. "I should! After what he made me go through...the sound of his name still makes my heart jump. What does he want from me again?" Nina asked worriedly."You will find out when you get there. It's not wise to ignore him,Nina. You know how he is." David said softly."I'm with you,Nina. I will go with you." Alicia offered."Do you think I should let dad know I'm go
Jericho's eyes lingered on Nina as she moved closer to him."Good morning..." Nina's voice trailed off.She didn't know how to address him now."Nina..." Jericho called and placed the bottle in his hand on the table and moved closer to Nina."David....told me you wanted to see me...so...I came right away to know what it is." Nina stammered.Jericho said nothing. He took her hands in his, staring straight into her eyes.Nina stared back, wondering what he was doing."Nina...." He called so softly and Nina's mouth dropped open."Jericho...." Nina tried calling his name but Jericho bent without warning and took her lips into his mouth in a very soft and breathtaking kiss.Nina gasped as her eyelids fluttered down!Jericho's hands travelled to her back, caressing her almost
Jericho stared at Nina for a very long time. His gaze dropped on her flat tummy and he can his palm there. "Are you sure about this?'"I've never been so sure,Jericho. I recently found out too. I was scared I would have to raise a child without a father. It got me so scared.""I'm here now. You don't have to be scared about raising the child alone." Jericho said and Nina's fafe brightened."You are not joking right now,are you?" Nina gasped.Jericho smiled and caressed her cheek. "Have I ever made such a joke?""Oh.. Jericho. You don't know how happy I am to hear this. Thank you for saving this child from being a bastard. Thank you so much."Nina said happily as Jericho hugged her.** That same day hours later,Nina walked into the kitchen and met the maids making dinner."Good day ma'am." They quickly gr
Nina sighed and shook her head. "You know that's not possible. People like Jericho do not get married. They only look for who to sleep with everyday."I can't risk my future with him,Ali. I'm coming home. I have to discuss with my dad first and hear what he has to say." Nina said."Okay, bestie. Whatever you decide on...I'm always behind you,okay? But promise to be happy!""Yeah .....I promise." Nina smiled.She cut the call and continued packing her things.**Valerie had seen Jericho drive out of the compound angrily and had also managed to find out that Nina was leaving the house.She quickly took her phone and dialled Nick's line.This time around,he picked up on time."Thank goodness you picked on time today.""Hope you are calling me for the money?"."Not really Ni
