Chapter Fourteen: The Urgent NewsLisa was still rubbing Bella’s mother’s back, trying to calm her, but the coughing wouldn’t stop. It grew harsher, deeper, like something was stuck in her chest. Lisa’s worry turned into full-blown panic.“Ma, please, what is happening to you?” Lisa asked, her voice trembling.The woman tried to respond, her lips moving, but before the words could form, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed onto the couch.“Jesus!” Lisa screamed, leaping to her feet. Her heart pounded so hard it felt like it would burst out of her chest. She shook the older woman gently, but there was no response. Fear swept over her like a flood.She grabbed her phone and quickly dialed Bella, but the line didn’t connect. She tried again, and again…still nothing. “Oh, God! What do I do now?” Lisa muttered, panic rising in her chest.The woman’s house girl ran into the sitting room at the sound of Lisa’s cry. Together, they struggled to lift her limp body. Lisa had never carried any

Chapter Thirteen: A Mother’s BurdenWhen Lisa left Faith’s house that evening, her mind was still heavy with everything Faith had told her. She prayed quietly that the man would not do anything foolish. Around 8 o’clock, she picked up her phone and dialed Faith’s number just to check on her.“Hello, babe,” Lisa said as soon as Faith picked up. “How are you now? Hope you’re not still crying.”Faith’s voice was softer than it had been earlier, though still heavy. “I’m better, thanks to you. I’ve just been lying down.”Lisa smiled a little. “Good. You need to calm yourself. Don’t let stress affect the baby, okay? I don’t want my goddaughter to be angry with you.”Faith chuckled faintly. “You and this your goddaughter matter, ehn.”Lisa laughed along, happy to hear her friend at least smile through her voice. They talked for a while, Lisa trying her best to lighten her mood. Faith admitted she had eaten a little, and Lisa praised her like a child, which made her laugh again.After a pause,

Lisa was still in Ken's house, folding the last set of clothes she had washed the night before when her phone buzzed on the bed. She wiped her damp hands on the towel around her waist and reached for it, expecting a message from Ken. Instead, her eyes narrowed as she read the words on her screen.“Lisa, we need to talk. Please come.”It was from Faith.Something about the short message unsettled her. Faith rarely wrote like that. Lisa read it again, her chest tightening. Whatever was going on, it wasn't small. She quickly rounded up with what she was doing, packed her things, and left.She drove to her own place first, changed into something simple, retouched her face and then headed straight to Faith's apartment. The drive felt unusually long. Her thoughts kept drifting…was Faith sick? Did something happen to the baby? She prayed silently under her breath until she arrived.The door was opened by Faith's house help, who pointed towards the parlour.Lisa walked in, and the sight broke h
Unexpectedly His Chapter Eleven: The kitchen Disaster.
Lisa left the pleasure park that evening with a smile tugging at her lips. The day had been long, yet there was something about knowing she was going to see Ken that gave her a strange excitement. They had promised to meet, and no matter how much she tried to downplay it in her mind, she always looked forward to their time together.By the time she got to his apartment and stepped into his setting room, she was ready to greet him properly, but before she could even settle in, Ken raised out from nowhere and grabbed her hand.“ Lisa, quick, come,” he whispered as though something dreadful had happened.She blinked at him in shock. “Ken, what is it? You're sounding like your test results came out badly”.“Of course it's terrible!, he exclaimed, his face full of frustration.Lisa's eyes widened. “ What do you mean? Don't tell me ooo”.Before she could finish, he pulled her straight into the kitchen. She froze when the smell hit her nose. It wasn't bad exactly, but it was far from appetisi

The evening breeze at their favourite pleasure park was soft and comforting, carrying with it the laughter of children chasing kites and the sweet smell of roasted corn from a nearby stand. Lisa leaned back on the grass, sipping from her can of malt while watching the orange streaks of the setting sun. Beside her, Faith stretched out lazily, nibbling on a piece of suya they had bought earlier.It had been a while since the two friends had escaped to this spot, and as always, it felt refreshing. This was their place…where they come to breathe, gist, laugh and sometimes cry. Today was supposed to be all fun, but Lisa noticed the way Faith kept sighing in between bites, her eyes clouded with worry.“ What with the long face?” Lisa asked, nudging her with a playful smile. “ Don't tell me the suya is too peppery for you?”Faith chuckled a little but quickly grew serious again. She lowered her drink and stared straight at Lisa. “ Lisa l think Kunle is cheating on me”The words hit Lisa, like

Ken couldn't get Bella's message off his mind. “Ken, please come, it's urgent.” That was what she wrote, short and direct. He read it again as he sat at the dining table, picking slowly at the food in front of him.Kunle, his friend, noticed the way Ken kept frowning at his phone and shaking his head.“ O boy, weti dey worry you?”Kunle asked, chewing visibly on a piece of fried chicken.Ken dropped his spoon and sighed. It's Bella. She came to my office earlier today and now she's sending me messages, saying l should come see her, that's it's urgent.Kunle chuckled and pushed his plate aside. “ And so?. Why you dey look like person wey wan attend a funeral? . My guy, you worry too much. Abeg, relax. Maybe she just wants you to give her small sugar…that thing you know how to do best.”Ken raised his brows at him. “ Kunle, you're not serious. This is not funny.”Kunle burst into laughter. “ But think am nau. Bella is a fine babe, and you know it very well. Why are you acting scared?. N
