“Why are you acting this way?” he asked carefully. “Be free with me, ma’ams. You’re my relative... right?”“Yes, sir,” I said quickly.“No, sir,” Gloria cut in at the same time.The man looked at both of us, visibly confused.Realizing the mismatch that we’d given conflicting answers, I quickly echoed her,“No, sir,”But then Gloria reversed course and echoed mine,“Yes, sir,” almost at the same time.We both turned to look at each other, thrown off. Confused. I'm a little embarrassed. Then glanced back at the man, whose expression said it all:What is going on here?He leaned back slowly in his chair, arms crossed, just... watching.After a long pause, Gloria pointed at me and said, “She’s looking for her lost son too.”I whispered harshly, my face scrunched. “Gloria…”But she kept going.“Her son went missing many years ago,” she said gently.“To cut the story short, we’ve held onto hope… believing that someday, a miracle would knock at our door. And learning your story—Hearing what

“Hey! Look who’s here!” someone called out from across the seats as she spotted Samantha through the window. Almost all of Samantha’s colleagues rushed over, their voices overlapping with excitement.Samantha barely reached the entrance before she was surrounded.Smile.Hugging.“Sorry!”“We missed you!”all at the same moment.It was her first day back on campus since the accident, and the moment she stepped into the lecture hall, everyone stood and rushed toward her.The outpouring of love came fast and full.Rebecca flung her arms around her, eyes bright.“It’s been two weeks,” she said.“But it felt like two years!”“I missed you so much,” another voice added from the crowd.Samantha couldn’t help but smile.Naomi barked through the crowd, protective and loud:“Y’all be careful! She’s healing—watch the bruises, okay?”Tasha and Mirian tried to help Samantha with her backpack, careful not to press her too hard.They managed to grab the bag, but with the crowd pressing in, there was

“Girls, I think I have to leave you now,” Samantha said, rising to her feet.“I’ll join you soon in the library.”She hesitated, her voice lower now.“To be honest, my mind isn’t settled… but I don’t want to disappoint Jake—especially with his friend there.”She glanced down, thoughtful.“What matters most to me right now is completing my school fees.”“Alright, dear, go well,” the girls said as Samantha turned to leave.Naomi teased. “Please bring our fried rice and chicken!”The others chimed in with laughter.“Yes—don’t eat only!”Samantha grinned.“Don’t worry, I’ll bring the food... and all the customers too!”Laughter erupted again, the whole group bursting with joy.Naomi waved her hands dramatically.“Please… please! We don’t need your food again!”Marian leaned in with a smirk.“Oh yes, don’t bother—we’re not witches. We don’t eat humans!”Joan and Tasha nodded in mock seriousness.“True o! We don’t do that kind of thing!”Samantha walked away with a smile, wrapped in the ech

The first man stood his ground, voice sharp and firm.“You might have messed up several girls,” he snapped. “But not this one. I’m warning you—If you try anything, I’ll report you. That’s even if I let you get close in the first place.”He hissed and stepped forward, lifting Samantha gently.Samantha didn’t resist—her body rose instinctively, clinging to the moment of rescue.He walked Samantha to the door, but then he gave the other man a strong, silent look.The man stared back, his eyes full of anger that he was trying to hold back.The first man looked him up and down, then left the room with Samantha.Samantha crept, her steps guided by the man’s steady grip.Behind them, the second guy stood frozen, humiliated.His eyes locked on the floor, ashamed and exposed.As they reached outside, the morning air hit Samantha’s skin like a wake-up call—cool, open, real.The first man gently helped Samantha into the car, closing the door behind her with care.“Come on—get in and drive. Let’

One mind said to Samantha,Tell him to leave,Then another mind said,You will hurt him,You will embarrass him.Jake was shocked at the way Samantha was looking at her at the door. Is she angry with me?The last time I checked,we didn’t have any quarrel before she left yesterday.Samantha, Jake called, his voice low.Why are you staring at me like that?Would u let me in?Samantha slowly left the entrance. She was just uncomfortable with her presence.Hope nobody saw him come? She says to herself.Jake at first stood at the door a while,still trying to understand the whole drama.He doesn’t even know if he should be angry or pamper her now.Then he entered and took his seat.I have been calling you since yesterday, but you haven’t answered your call.After a while, your phone was dead.And then this morning I called, but no response.I sent you a text no feedback. What happened?Were you not able to pay those school fees again or what? Jake asked in curiosity, his voice low but fi
