“Rachael! Rachael!!” David yelled

“What” she replied, she was sitting down in the living room

“Your sister is not leaving this house” he said

“Excuse me?” she said turning to look at him

“No excuses, if she leaves I’ll leave too” he said, she paused with surprise

“David how can you say that?” she said standing up

“She stays… there should not be enemity between you both" he said

“David you have something going on with my sister”

“(Laughs) really? Is that how you see it? Ok then” he said walking away

“No wait please… (he stopped) I love you” she sounded vulnerable

“But my sister is giving me problems, she goes around taking my money without my permission. She owes debts which I end up paying for and she ain’t grateful” Rachael complained in a soft tone

“Is that how you see me?” Rita said coming out

“David you see what am saying, she doesn’t even show me respect despite the fact that she stays in my house”

“Ok, I’ll leave your house, do you think I cant survive without you” Rita boasted

“Shut up Rita” David yelled and she was quiet

“Be quiet, show your elder sister some respect, we all know your lazy ass wouldn’t survive a day out there without her… and Rachael let her stay please… forgive her, I’ll talk to her and she will behave” David said and Rachael was silent

“Rachael” David called her attention

“Ok, she’ll stay but you better talk to her” Rachael said and walked upstairs to her room

“Rita what the hell is your problem? Why would you take her money without her permission?”

“Well, ok I won’t take her money again” she said as she walked closer to him

“Good” David said

“Come here” Rita said as she pulled him closer then kissed him and dragged David to her room

Yvonne was still standing there and looking at the old lady who was approaching, as Yvonne said her last prayers there was a sudden white light from her bathroom door, the light was so bright that it shined through the edges of the closed door and the rays were clearly visible and straight. The old lady stopped, Yvonne was surprised the old lady stopped and as she looked she saw something running out of the red light towards her, her fears heighten and the room started shaking, suddenly the bathroom door flung open and the light shined brightly causing even the old lady to covered her face something ran out of the red light, it was a huge monster with horns and it immediately carried the old lady in its hand and ran into the red light, and almost instantly a man ran out off the white light and towards the red light but the red light immediately vanished and the room was full of white light; Yvonne watched carefully with surprise as the man walked back into the white light, he passed her like she wasn’t there, he stopped at the entrance of the white light then turned to look at her but she looked away because the light was too bright, he walked into the light and disappeared. The door slammed close loudly and the light went out leaving her in darkness, then the room lights came on. She was still standing glued to the door with her mouth opened and still in shock of what just happened and suddenly she fell down and fainted…

7:00am, Max stood up from the bed he looked by his side and Maria wasn’t there, he walked into the bathroom and locked the door and came out in 15mins, he dressed up for work, he picked up only his laptop and car key and left the room, he went down stairs and saw Maria in the sitting room—his expression had no sign of happiness

“Good morning Honey, Breakfast is ready” she said happily walking towards him, he passed her and walked out of the house not saying a word and not even looking at her, he entered his car and drove off. She was just standing there not knowing what to say/or do, she turned to look at the food on the dinning before going upstairs…

“Audrey I need to talk to you” Chinedu spoke to Audrey who was prepared to go out

“What is it? You want money again?” she said facing her mirror and applying lipstick

“No I don’t”

“What is it then?”

“I want us to end this relationship” he said and Audrey paused, then looked at him through the mirror she then continued with her makeup

“Did you hear me?” he asked

“Loud and clear boy” she said with more focus on her lipstick application

“So?” he said

“So nothing… you must be joking” she looked like she cared less

“I’m dead serious” he said, she stopped

She stood up and put her phone and some things in her bag then carried it and turned to him

“Why?” she asked

“I’m tired of you making me your sex toy”

“Is that an excuse?” she said

“It’s the truth” he said and she smiled

“So after all the money I’ve spent on you, you think you can walk out like that?” she said

“Look Audrey (he stands up) I have a girl friend who loves and cares about me”

“Really? So I don’t care about you? Every God damn thing you wear is my money”

“It has to end please” he said with a sad face

“I can’t and if I see you with any girl, I’ll kill her”

“You must be joking” he said

“Oh! So am the one joking now?” she said

“You’ll do nothing” he said, she smiled then walked closer to him

“Baby… everything on your body was made from my money, you’d be naked if I asked you to give back all you have… I run this relationship and will tell you when it’s over because I feed you, cloth you, pay your bills, your school fees, let you live in my luxury, I let you fuck the best pussy in the world, the same pussy a lot of men are crying out for but you have it all for free because I like you a lot… you are the most luckiest man on earth and now you want to turn yourself to an ungrateful opportunist and a privileged bastard by trying to play a victim? Try it and see if I’ll do nothing” the look in Audrey’s eyes was venomous and very believable, Chinedu had not seen such rage in her beautiful eyes, the light smile on her face made it even more frightening to Chinedu. He stood there watching her walk out and couldn’t do anything, he just walked into the shower...
