Quickly, Uncle Victor gestured for the two strange men to leave. They were swift to pack the money and the bottles that still contained alcohol.Silence filled the air as Nita and her uncle stared at each other. Uncle Victor’s expression was coated with shock and embarrassment. “Uncle Victor, your silence is of no use. Who are those men to you?” Nita uttered politely.Uncle Victor rubbed his forehead and avoided eye contact with me.“They are money doublers.”Nita was shocked and shook her head.“Are you kidding me? Are you scared to call them money gamblers? What else about you am I yet to know? Visiting you lately has been filled with lots of surprises. We are facing a huge financial crisis yet you are still gambling?”He sighed. From his expression, Nita noticed how broken and remorseful he was so she diverted the discussion.“How do we go about the financial problem we have now?” She asked calmly.“To be honest, there is nothing we can do about it. I have no one to run to for hel

At the speed of light, Nita arrived at her uncle’s residence looking worried and tensed. “I repeat, I won’t change my mind.” She was about to press the doorbell when a strange voice rang out from inside. It dawns on her that her uncle is really in a mess. Hold on. What could it be about? After taking a deep breath, Nita turned the door knob and the creaking sound filled the air. She couldn’t believe her eyes. She was shocked upon seeing Victor on his knees and tears brewing in his eyes like a child whose chocolate was seized. “Thank goodness you came, Nita. I am sure your husband would be able to help me out. I-I mean help us out.” Mentioning her husband made her voice out. “We are getting a divorce. That is by the way, Uncle, what is going on?” Victor quickly stood up and held her hand tightly. “Sorry about your marriage crash. This is about the company. I did my best to handle the situation so I did not involve you but unfortunately, it didn’t end well.” “Huh?” Nita expr

It is exactly a week since Nita left Dennis's house and life for good. She was yet to start on a new phase. Staying alone in her new apartment, loneliness and confusion had the best of her.She wanted to move on fast and she felt what was holding her back was Dennis not notifying her about signing the divorce papers.He needed to sign it, it had to be official that they are no longer a thing.With a frown, she decided to visit him to make him sign the papers and if he proves stubborn then she will have to take him to court.Thirty minutes later, Nita was before the receptionist at Dennis' office.With a smile, the lady welcomed her.“It's been a while, Mrs.”Nita replied almost immediately. “Yeah right! Sophy, I am here to see your boss.”“Hmmm,” Sophy wore a confused look.“Anything the problem?” Nita asked with an arched brow.“Not at all. Just that he made it clear that he is engrossed with an official assignment and won’t entertain intrusion of any sort.”“You have nothing to worr

“Nita, you don’t have to do this anymore. It has made no sense to me and it will never.” Dennis said to Nita calmly but his expression coated with coldness.Her heart broke as she recalled her effort in making their anniversary a memorable one. Was that the best words he could say to her after all the stress?From his tone, Nita knew that something was different about Dennis.“Hmmm, but today is a special day,” Nita said happily.“What is so special about today?” Dennis asked sarcastically.She did not dare to ask him why he didn’t remember their anniversary. In a bid to compress her pain, she closed her eyes for some seconds and opened them after giving an exasperated breath.He has never for once in the past years remembered their anniversary so why was this year a shock to her?
