GOODNOVEL VERSION
PROLOGUE
A fine bungalow apartment located in the woods somewhere in eastern Nigeria, it was dark and the stars had crowded the sky like fire flies having a feast, the forest was dark, cold and quiet, the light from the building brightened the open space around the house, the power of the light’s brightness reduces further and further away from the house with very little light touching on the trees and bushes, crickets singing aloud in the dark.Uzor had been up for so long studying some ancient books on Celestial beings, he had spent almost 400 thousand naira for these books to arrive Nigeria but still he was not satisfied, he was a great lover of the supernatural and existence beyond earth, the sound from his laptop keys being stroke by his fingers was a little louder since it was dark and quiet, he typed in quite a hurry—he was writing a book. He constantly moved his eye balls rapidly from one book to another and then return to the laptop to punch in some words, while paying so much attention to his work, he suddenly felt a mild vibration, he stopped typing then noticed the glass of water on the table vibrating lightly, the vibration got stronger and suddenly there was a loud thud like an explosion followed by a strong shaking, he immediately panicked as he fell off the chair, the shaking and thud had suddenly shut down the lights and darkness took over.In the darkness he searched for his phone but he noticed a bright orange light coming in from the windows, he looked outside the window and saw heavy flames in the distance inside the woods“Jesus Christ… a forest fire” he quickly ran out the house, he looked in the direction of the burning and it looked like something had fallen from the sky, he got down the stairs then ran towards the fire and stopped as he immediately noticed something moving inside the flame, he was stunned, for the first time he was witnessing a meteor rock fall. His surprise and excitement suddenly became worry as he watched somebody walking out from the flames, he stood there shocked as a man who Africans would describe as a white man walked out the flames completely naked, the flames engulfed his body but didn’t hurt his skin, he saw Uzor staring at him, he began walking towards Uzor as the flames on his skin began to quench into smoke, Uzor stood there, his feet planted to the earth by fear not knowing what to do…MARIAA beautiful brown skin woman, her face well modelled and feminine with a faintly rosy lips, she had dark shiny hair like strands lustrous glass and her beauty was wild and delightful. Maria was a gentle woman, wise and composed, she was happily married to Maxwell, a successful business man, their only problem is the absence of a baby’s cry in their multi million naira mansion and it bothered MariaAUDREYShe was a 30 years old light skinned spinster, her face fair and eager, exotic cheekbones, her lips full and rounded, she had brown hair that looked like fine dust, slim waist and rounded hips with high-pitched breasts, long bright thighs. She was a little wild, selfish but confident and she had a boyfriend in his early 20s known as Chinedu; she was independently rich and styledRACHAELThis dark brown, moderately chubby beauty had this slightly full cheek and soft red lips, she had fine hips and thick shaped thighs that were brown and smooth like chocolate, she had this rich black hair and sparkling eyes. But Rachael was dying from low self esteem, she was the most peaceful of all four ladies, gentle and delicate. Married to a man who is married to her money. I personally feel she is the most beautiful of all four; her eyes and lips are a breath taker but strangely she no longer sees that but why? What happened?YVONNEAnd here is my favourite of all four, she was glorified with beauty and a darker brown than Maria, her hair jet black like a starless night, her iris light brown that made her face glow with dark brows perfectly carved by her creator, she had a much redder lower lip and a fine set of teeth, her face shaped perfectly. Her slim waist and curvy hips and butts were unhidden. Yvonne was highly extroverted, playful, she carried herself with much confidence and had the habit of pampering herself, but quite the stubborn fellow, kind of fearless, daring greatly and wealthy too. Tied the knot with an obfuscating husband. Beautiful strong woman but emotionally weak.3 Years Later… Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria Maria had this straight face that would tell you that talking to her wouldn’t yield positivity; Max constantly glanced at her while driving“Sweetie, what’s wrong?” Max asked after the long silence“Nothing” that was all her voice box offered as she looked out through the window“Look we’ve passed the stage of you saying nothing, I am your husband not your boyfriend” he replied with a little too loud voice, she slowly turned her head to him“Ok why am I not pregnant?” she said looking at him; she looked very calm with that question, he looked at her then looked at the road“What kind of question is that” he asked“Just answer the god-damn question” she said loudly“Am I to answer that?” he looked uninterested“O yes, answer” she said with eyes on him“Well, the doctor said you’re fine, you’ll have your pregnancy soon” he assured“The doctor! The doctor!! The doctor!!! Always the doctor” she yelled; he had not expected s
Yvonne spent the night there just thinking throughout the night.A knock on the door of the room in the morning“Yvonne it’s me” Maria said“Come on in” she said“Good morning” Maria said“Good morning” she replied as she sat up“How was the night?” Maria said“Fine, how is Max?” she said“He’s getting ready for work”“I’ll be leaving soon” Yvonne said, Maria noticed her weak eyes“Yvonne you didn’t sleep” Maria said“I couldn’t but I have to go now” she said standing up “Are you sure? At least have breakfast with us”“Not thanks, I’ll be fine” she said“Thanks for everything” Yvonne said then hugged Maria“You are welcome, what are friends for girl” Maria escorted her out to her car and she drove off… Rachael woke up to a beautiful fresh start, she turned around but couldn’t feel her husband around her, she stood up and walked into the bathroom and came out in 15mins with a towel. She walks to her wardrobe and searches for clothes, she settles for a grey body
Yvonne woke up and discovered that she was in her car, realizing she had slept off in the car she quickly turned the ignition on but then paused, she looked confused as she stared at the road, she turned the ignition off after looking out the window in shock, she was surprised to see that she was parked right in front of her gate. She began wondering how she got there, she remembered she fell asleep by the side of the road but doesn’t recall her driving to the gate; she never took drugs or smoked weed. “Or could it have been the stranger?” she said to herself. She was getting more confused, or maybe it was the slap James gave to her that made her see things but her arrival at the gate was not an imagination. She stepped out of the car looked around and saw a petty store few meters from her car, she decided to ask the lady there how she got here—pretty weird I know“Hello excuse me” she said“ Hey hello” the lady replied“Please I want to ask you something”“Ok no problem”“Plea
Rachael parked her car in front of her supermarket; she sat in the car for some minutes with her head on the steering wheel, after a while she got out and headed into the store “Good morning Ma” one of the sales girl said “Good morning my dear” “Ma your sister came to the store yesterday and took #370 thousand from the locker saying that you asked her to bring it urgently” “What?” she almost screamed “And you didn’t call me?” Rachael was pissed “I'm sorry ma, she said it was urgent" Rachael became so angry, she left the supermarket & headed back home. She parked her car outside the gate & entered the compound, went to the door and as she got in she saw David dancing with her sister “What are you doing” she said angrily, they ignored her. She went over and turned off the DVD “What the hell?” David said “Are you crazy? What are you doing?” Rachael said “We are dancing” Rita said, sweating dripping over her body “Dancing?” Rachael repeated “Rita why did you go take money
“Hello beautiful” a guy said to Yvonne as she sat down in the hotel’s cinema watching a movie with a bottle of Hennessey. She turned her head and looked at him then turned to face the cinema TV “What do you want?” she asked“I was sitting over there and was just wondering why a beautiful girl like you would be sitting at the back here all alone” he said smiling, she looked at him again then looked at the TV then sipped from her bottle—his line were lame and unimpressive “So after wondering you decided to come do what exactly?” she said then sipping from the bottle“Actually, I came to relax with you and chat” he said smiling“Don’t you think relaxing with me might be regrettable?” she said without looking at him and the smile on his face disappeared“Excuse me?” he said“Of Cause you are excused” she said“I think you are taking too much of that alcohol” he said and she looked at the bottle“I think you are right, here have some” she said giving him the bottle“No thanks”
“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 y
Rachael was already prepared for work; she came down stairs and saw David in the sitting room watching a movie“Hello honey” she pecked him“Hello, how was your night?” he said“Fine but you didn’t sleep in the room with me” she said“Sorry I slept off while watching a movie” he lied“It seems you’re addicted to watching movie” she said“It a hobby not a habit” he said“Are you not going to work?” she asked“I will, it’s just 7:00am” he said looking at the time“So you prefer going late?”“I want to go late today”“Why?”“I don’t want that crazy MD to call me for prayers anytime am early, we’ll have to pray and I’m not into such stuff”“(Laugh) ok whatever you say, I’m going” she said and left“Have a nice day” he said smiling“We have the whole house to ourselves” Rita said coming down stairs in a transparent nightgown and David was excited at the sight of her“O yes we do” he said looking at her body. “Go lock the door" David said and Rita locked the front door, Sh
Without being told Maria knew why Max was acting different, she could remember her words yesterday morning and she felt bad about it. As she sat in the sitting room she heard a strong knock on the door she was startled“Do you want to break down my door?” she yelled as she walked to the door and opened it to she Yvonne “Yvonne?” Maria said and Yvonne quickly ran into the house before she could say another word. Maria was surprised at this attitude“Yvonne what is it again?” Maria said coming inside to sit down; Yvonne rested her head on the arm of the chair“Yvonne talk to me”“There’s a big problem” Yvonne said raising her head“Ok, what has he done again?” Maria asked“Its not about that faggot” she said loudly“Ok relax” “No I cant” she replied as she was sweating“Ok talk na”“A piece of paper just keeps following me around, even after I asked somebody to burn it, it came back to life” Yvonne said and Maria just stared at her in silence.
