She shakes her head to say no and I walk closer to her.I caress her cheek with my palm passionately looking into her face.“ If you want something, you should always tell me , you scare the shit out of me” I said.“ I am sorry” she says apologetically.“ I can never be mad at you my little cat” I said and leaned my forehead with her forehead.“ I am sorry,” she said again.I looked at her and I could see she looked very tired. I slowly lifted her off her feet , she wrapped her hand around my neck and she looked into my eyes and she said softly.“ Put me down “ she says and I tighten my hands around her .“ No, I know you are tired and I know you must have been wandering around inside this maze for so long” I said.IRENE.When he came for me in the maze , I was surprised, I could see worries written all over his face.The way he caresses my cheek and also lifts me off my feet makes me look into his face if he is always like this or it’s all a trick to get my kids from me too” I thought

IRENE.When I saw the guns and how dressed the girls were , I was scared.The way he held me up and let me stand behind him gave me confidence but at the same time I was scared.He has his hands pressed against my hand telling me I am saved but to be honest I am scared but it was also an opportunity for me to escape.But the way they stood facing each other with Mikel defending me.I didn’t know he had been betrothed but when she mentioned it I became jealous and upset that he never told me he had someone but wait why am I jealous? After all he is my master , he bought me at a huge price but the truth is I am beginning to feel like he is my lover.It’s barely forty eight hours and I am already falling in love with someone I find it hard to trust.Maybe I trust him, maybe I am just scared of giving myself to him.The banter continued between them and the girl shot into the air and I screamed again, everyone in the restaurant screamed, then the girl was going to pull me out behind Mikel

MikelWe continue our walk and my phone rang, I checked in the screen and it was my mom. I know why she has called , It’s because of Sheryl.I picked the call and excuse myself.“ Hello mom” I said.“ Don’t even Hello me son! how dare you go out with that girl? How dare you humiliate your fiancée that way for a girl you bought! My mom asked in an anger tone.“ Mom! Can you please not even let’s discuss all of this and please don’t even for a second think I will marry your choice because you had an oath with that family or want to join their stupid business? I said.“ Don’t even ridicule what I am trying to do because of a girl that was sold to you, listen you will marry Sheryl or you will put that girl in danger! I already told you that girl is only good for my business and not you, Sheryl is who you need right now and not some girl you just bought” my mom says.“ Mom please I am begging you don’t interfere in my love life and point of correction, Irene is a special girl and not just a

MIKEL.When she said that, I turn her around and made her look into my eyes.“ Hey! I am not interested in your strength, I am interested in you and I love you so much and that is what matters” I said looking into her eyes passionately.“ Your mom doesn’t like me, she like Sheryl “ She said.“ And I like you” I said caressing the side or her jaw with my tomb talking to her softly.“ Your mom feels you are disrespecting her because of me? She says.“ I am not disrespecting her, I am only telling her I love you and that is the truth” I said and intertwine my hands with hers.“ Maybe I should go while you focus on being with the stronger one” she says.“ No, you are not weak, you are the strongest woman that I have ever met, you have been through a lot from your tender age , you got pregnant and have a children and you were ready to take up their responsibilities even when you are not sure you can , you were sent to jail and you took a risk for five kids and even with me you still want to

I looked up at Mikel’s face and tears dripped down my face. I tried to struggle myself out of his arms but he didn’t want to let go of me, he wanted to explain to me and I yelled at him.“ Let me go! I said and he let go of me and I climbed the stairs and ran into the room.MIKEL.I was so pissed at what my mom did, I even tried to explain to her but for the first time my mom let Irene yell at me.“ Why did you do that mom? I asked.“ Why won’t I do that son? You are blocking me in so many ways.“ I said sell the girl is good for business, sell her to me , you said no, I said marry Sheryl and let me start making millions ? You said no and you know what son, we have just begun our tit for tat game” she said.“ You want me to marry a girl that comes from a family that deals in killing innocent people and selling organs? I will never support you over this and I am warning my men not to let you into my house ever again! I said.“ Because of a girl you bought, don’t worry son, we would alwa
