She had been so furious and believed there was nothing anyone could tell her to make her go back on her decision. She had also realized just how less efficient she had become in managing her own life and going through the motions every other person goes through. She gave up trying to call a cab after hailing the first two, one of whom asked for her autograph and proceeded to tell her how he had been a die-hard fan and how she was his fantasy woman. She had told him to leave and ran back to Martinez’s street, the latter still nowhere in sight. The other had asked her outright if she would like him to show her a good time. She had given up and had to call her manager at the end of the day to call her driver when she realized that she didn’t even have her driver’s number. Her manager had always dealt with that part. “So much for a day free of whites, managers, and cameras,” she thought to herself as her silent driver whisked her to her residence at her insistence that he drove fast.

If they want his body and are willing to pay for it? He gave them his body, gave them all the styles they wanted, and took them farther than their snotty boyfriends or sugar daddies ever had.When Ike shouted, "Brother, I love you!"Or Romola said "You are the best, best, best brother in the world"Or Kemisola piped "Thank you, brother"With Jenrola, saying in her quiet voice "Thank you for all you do, brother"Those were all the consolation he needed and whenever guilt wanted to creep in, he simply held on to the expressions on the faces of his sisters if he was able to provide for them.At first, he would feel a bit hurt when a lady he had probably spent the night with or had a moment with, saw him the next day and pretended as if she didn't know him in the presence of her friends. But as time went on, he accepted it as the way things were, that way he didn't feel guilty anymore when they bought his time to give them a good time.That was when he dubbed it "The transaction"But here

He let out a short laugh even as he was touched “Really? Are you asking me that now?” He gave her back her words.She smiled and moved closer to him to hug him tightly” Well, not all men like to be hugged in comfort. Not macho enough, I think” she joked.“Well, this guy here wouldn’t mind a loving hug especially if you are the one doing the hugging,” he said, hugging her back as the tension in him drained away.“I am so so happy that you escaped. I am joyous that I get to meet you and grateful to God that you were not killed”He let out a short, nervous laugh” I am grateful that I wasn’t killed as well” he said as she loosened her hold on him and she stood facing each other in that proximity. “I mean, what use would I have been to you if I was laying down cold and lifeless somewhere, probably with my mouth hanging open?” He tried to joke to relieve the tension.“Don’t even joke about that” she playfully hit him in his arms.He sobered “And now I have totalled your car”“Oh yes, that y

How had he seen through her so well? She thought.“Go ahead, it would be like ripping off a bandage. You can’t hide forever, you know and you have nothing to be guilty about. If there is someone who should be afraid, so much so that they wouldn’t be able to show her face for days or months on end. It should be those callous people who fucked you up!”Tanya looked at him with tears misting her eyes. It’s been a while since someone had defended her so or taken her side.“Please don’t cry” Ayidele thought as she kept looking at him with those mesmerizing eyes that made him want to hold on to her and never let go.Ayodele had never been the violent type but right then he wouldn’t mind loving his hands on her face, the bastard, and having it out with him.“Should I switch it on for you?” He asked as the silence became deafening and he got uncomfortable with the protective feeling he seems to be developing for her.She shook her head as seemed to come to a decision . she inhaled deeply, squ

“Hear me out first. Martinez is a very manipulative man and he would be counting on two things today. First, the fact that I wouldn’t want to do something that would upset my mother deliberately. Second is the fact that I wouldn’t want to do something that would tarnish my image, mostly my family’s name” she explained hurriedly.“What is….”“Please, will you do to?” She pleaded. “You are my only hope right now. I have no time to get any random guy and believe I would rather it is you than any other person. He thought he had it all down. That he had me where he want me but I am going to change the narrative. I, not him!” She turned back to him “please, will you?”Ayodele knew that this plan has disaster all written over it but he found he couldn’t deny her when she was looking at him with those expressive eyes. Also, he hated her fiance so whatever could be stuck in his craw is one thing Ayodele would be so happy to go for.“Just for one day, you said?”She nodded.“After I helped you
