It was pitch black when they arrived at the small village surrounded by mud houses and a few block houses.They strolled along the muddy road which had a few houses on both sides of it. The whole place was as calm as a graveyard and she became scared as she looked around the place."You never told me it was this dense, we could have started our trip earlier," she said, looking around in fear."I don't wanna come here during the daytime so as not to be noticed by a lot of people," he said as he walked slowly beside her, holding her box."Why?" She asked, turning to look at him."There are a lot of witches and wizards around here. You haven't heard about the Benin Kingdom, have you?" He asked and fear gripped her as she jumped on his body."Why didn't you tell me you're taking me to a den of witches and wizards?! Oh, I wanna go home right now!" She cried and he burst into laughter while making her stand on her feet."You better be careful, else, they'll come for us and I'll run, leaving
The next morning, she was awoken by the sounds coming out from the backyard. She yawned tiredly and winced in pain as she felt pains all over her body. The bed was small and she had managed to help herself from falling during the night.She sat up on the bed as she looked around the room. Amos was nowhere to be found and she wondered where he was off to. It was morning already and she could see a ray of the beautiful sunrise which settled on the window. She stood up from the bed and tied the cloth firmly across her chest as she walked out of the room. She couldn't notice a presence around the house."Oops! Everyone must be in the kitchen," she exclaimed as she hurried out immediately.She knew she would get scolded by Mrs Eno for sleeping so late when she was supposed to be up early, assisting in the kitchen. African moms are like that; strict and intolerant, she thought as she walked out of the house."Oh, our Iyoba(Queen mother) has arrived," she heard Mrs Eno sing in appraisal as
She became flabbergasted as she saw him walking away angrily."Wasn't that why we're here? Why is he angry?" She asked inaudibly."Amos! Wait for me!" She called as she ran over to him.She stood in front of him and he stopped and looked away from her."Are you jealous?" She asked with a smile."I'm not. Why would I be?" He asked with a scoff."If you like me already, you can just tell me so I can consider you to be on the list," she said and they both laughed."I don't like you, but I'm concerned about you. You don't deserve to be hurt," he said with all sincerity.Her heart sank as she got lost in his eyes and she opened her mouth to speak but the words became stuck."Thanks for being concerned about me. You're sweet," she said and planted a peck on his cheek.His lips broke into a smile and he touched his cheek while she giggled."Come on, where are we going?" She asked, climbing on his back."Let Me take you to somewhere you'll love," he said."What are we waiting for?" She asked
He tried to speak but the words became stuck in his throat and he could see her eyes welling up with tears.He didn't know what to do or say at the moment and he felt guilty for bringing up the topic about her mother."Nat..we..we..can stop talking about this if you want to," he said with concern."It's fine, I want to talk about it. You know, my Ex doesn't even know about it. I'm not comfortable telling it to people and the only person who knows the truth aside from my family, is my best friend who betrayed me," she related as she sniffed and wiped the tears off her eyes."I want to know, how did it happen? What led to it all?" He asked curiously."My mom," she said, raising her head to look at him."She was the beginning of my problems. She was an avid cheater despite the fact that my dad was a loving husband to her. Adrian had a twin brother whom we lost due to my mom's negligence," she related."I..I never knew he had a twin," he said."Yes, we were so little then. My mom would br
Waking up on the bamboo bed, she looked beside her and saw him sleeping peacefully. It was dawn already and she could see the sheets spread over their bodies. She recalled how he had sex with her last night and they ended up in the room for another round of it. Right now, she felt like he was taking advantage of her body and she was losing her guard. He opened his eyes slowly as he heard movements on the bed. He could see her sitting on the bed with her back facing him. He heaved a sigh and licked his lips as he recalled the pleasures of last night. "Hey," he called slowly. Without a word, she swung out of the bed and he sat up right immediately. "Nat," he called in surprise. She didn't respond and he could see the fury written all over her face. He watched her dress up slowly and then a knock came on the door. She sighed in frustration and walked over to the door. He could hear her conversing with his mother and then she walked out of the room. Walking into Mrs Eno's room, she
He gulped with his eyes staring at her, dumbfounded. "How can you say such a thing, Natasha? Why would I be seeing Alex?" He asked with a scoff. She sighed and looked away from him. "Why do I have a feeling that you're both hiding something from me, I mean, what's up with you and Adrian?" She asked, looking into his eyes anxiously. He heaved a sigh and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I've told you before, Alex and I are just friends. Adrian wouldn't want me to be around you because he knows I'm just a lothario," he said with a sexy smile flashing across his lips. Her nerves relaxed and she nodded slowly. "I hope that's the truth," she said and he smiled and moved an inch closer to her. "Are you jealous?" He asked, touching her chin. "Amos,you should stop this. I don't like it when you flirt with me," she said, feigning anger as she tried to push his hand away. He chuckled and dropped his hand from her chin. "I'll miss you," he said. She kept silent and gulped. She was going
"How dare you, Alex?" She thundered, her eyes blazing with fury as she stormed into the room with aggression. "What's the problem, babe?" Alex asked innocently as she made her baby lie on the bed. "Why didn't you tell me the truth about Amos? Why didn't you tell me he was the same guy, flirting with you?!" She asked with her furious eyes looking at her face deeply. Alex's eyes bulged and her mouth dropped open in dismay. "How did you find out?" She asked slowly. "Come off it, Alex! Father saw his pictures and he told me the truth!" She yelled. "Babe, stop yelling. You need to be calm," she pleaded calmly. "I can't be calm when you're already taking me for a fool!" She said angrily. "Nat, I'm not taking you for a fool! The truth is that he pleaded with me not to tell you about it," she explained, walking to the bed. "And you decided to be loyal to him, not minding my emotions?" She asked angrily. "Babe, be calm. Everything happened in the past and I'm sorry that I hid it from
"She asked me out, and it's pretty cool. As soon as we're done at the club tonight, I'm taking her home for a steamy Friday night," he said with a chuckle as he brushed his hair in front of the mirror.Jason's laughter could be heard from the phone which was lying on the shelf."Man, you've got to be careful not to fall into Adrian's traps again. What if she gets pregnant?" He asked from the phone."She's not going to get pregnant. She's a big babe and she knows how to play her cards very well," he said, buttoning his satin blue long sleeve top."Guy, I gotta run along, I don't want to keep the goddess waiting," he said."Alright, man, have a wonderful night," Jason said before the call ended.He quickly grabbed his black brogues shoes which he put on hastily. He looked at his golden wristwatch and it was 7:15pm."Damn, I'm late!" He cried as he stood up from the bed and grabbed his car keys.Stepping out of the car, he heaved a sigh of relief as he looked around the lit up building. H
He smiled, looking at his handsome self in the mirror. He was donned handsomely in a royal blue suit and black bowtie which suited him perfectly."Have you heard from the ladies?" He asked the boys who were dressing up in the room."Oh, yes. I called Chelsea, and Natasha is almost ready," Ben replied as he helped hang the wristwatch around his wrist."We don't wanna be late, everyone, hurry up!" Derrick urged, clapping his hands.The door opened and Mrs Eno stepped into the room, fully dressed in her blue traditional George fabric."Nosa, you don't want to keep the bride waiting," she snapped from the door."I'm almost done," he said."Your father's kinsmen are in Lagos already. We need to hurry up because I'll be going to the reception hall to welcome them just after we leave the court," she replied."I'm done," he said, looking at his wristwatch and it was 7:55 am. The boys began to hail him as they all walked out of the room and they danced towards the beautifully decorated cars in
Walking out of the boardroom, his face was all smiles as he shook hands with the men and women at the door."Congrats, sir. And another big congratulations for your wedding tomorrow," some of the men said to him as they all shook hands with him firmly.He couldn't believe he'll one day stand in front of nobles, men and women whom he couldn't even say 'hi' to in the past.He smiled warmly, seeing his former colleagues staring at him from a distance. He is their boss now, not just their boss, but the CEO of the company. He could see Daren and Marvin turning away to walk into their offices and he knew they were probably feeling timid because of his new position in the company."Hey," he called, walking to meet them.They both stopped and looked at him in surprise."Why are you guys avoiding me?" He asked with a smile."No, we..um.. you're our boss now and you demand a high level of respect," Daren said to him."You think I'm going to change because of my elevated level?" He asked but they
"I had my doubts when Amos claimed to be attacked by you at the night when he caught you with Kemi at the club. But I never wanted to believe that you're still cheating on me with Kemi," she said with a sad smile."You know, if you had cheated with someone else, it wouldn't have hurt this deep. You cheated and plotted with the same woman I called my best friend!" She yelled and Amos urged her to be calm."That same day you invited me to your hotel room, on my way out, I saw Kemi's car leaving the hotel premises. She was there with you, Kelvin! She was there!" She yelled."Baby, be calm," Amos urged while patting her shoulders.She sniffed and shook her head in disbelief."Nat.. I'm sorry," Kelvin cried."No, you'll never be sorry!" She snapped.She gulped and waved back her hair."On my way home, I got lost in thoughts, you know, I was beginning to sink into a mental depression and then the accident happened. I wasn't hurt nor did I even attain a scratch because my car was so protecti
The hall turned into chaos as Adrian and Kelvin fought on the floor while the men tried to separate them."Natasha!!" Madison and Alex exclaimed in unison as they ran to the floor where she was seated, gasping for breath.They helped her up from the floor as the chaos continues and Mr Ajebade and his kinsmen could be seen, pleading with Mateo Steel."Are you alright? Take a deep breath," Alex said, patting her shoulders tenderly."Yes.. I'm alright..," she panted with her hand holding her chest.Just then, Amos and the boys could be seen, rushing into the hall like mad people. Without looking in her direction, he surged towards Kelvin who was trying to break free from Adrian's grips and he began to deal him with blows on the floor."They're killing my son!!" Mrs Ajebade cried as she rushed towards them.Adrian stood up immediately and turned his vicious bloodshot eyes towards her."And you," he said sinisterly and she began to retreat backwards immediately.Before he could speak, she
The music kept on playing and Natasha and the women moved slowly to the stage while the pandemonium continued."Sola, don't do this to us!" Mrs Eno cried as the men pushed her away violently."Don't touch my mother! Don't touch my mother!" Amos yelled, pushing the men vigorously and they landed him on the floor while his friends tried to fight back.He stood up from the floor immediately and tried to run past the men blocking their paths from the stage."Natasha!!" He cried out loud.She heard his voice and she stopped one more time."Keep going, don't let him be a distraction to you!" Madison snapped and she kept on walking slowly in the midst of the women.Adrian and his men rushed to the scene and he could see the heavily built men engaging Amos and his family."Stop!" He yelled at the men and they all retreated.He began to pant heavily and his angry eyes turned to Amos and his friends who were panting heavily in front of him."How dare you, Amos? How dare you bring your family to
At the entrance of the glamorous splendidly designed reception hall, a pandemonium could be seen heating up between Amos and his family who were trying to find their way past the entrance but were stopped by the heavily built Bouncers."I didn't come here for any nonsense party! I want to see Sola and my grandchild!" Mrs Eno barked while tying her cloth firmly around her waist.Her two daughters could be seen, trying to make her calm but all to no avail."You guys know who we are to the bride?! How dare you stop us from gaining entrance?!" Amos barked, taking his transparent glasses off."Mr man, this is an order from above! Besides, you weren't granted a pass. You all have to leave before we handle with you mercilessly!" One of the men growled in front of him."Deal with my son?! Deal with who?!" Mrs Eno yelled, rushing towards them but her son pulled her back.Just then, Jason and his friends were seen, walking towards them."What's going on?" They all asked in confusion."They've r
Her finger caressed the sharp blade of the flint knife she was holding as she sat on the bed with her gloomy face looking down at the floor in despair.She had been a tool in the hands of Kelvin and his family and she couldn't believe this was the same man who would soon become her baby's daddy. She sniffed and wiped the tears that trickled down her cheek. She won't let him know of the pregnancy, and by the time she is done with him, she'll travel out to a distant country and then inform his family about their grandchild and how she had murdered their son. By then, it would have been too late to get hold of her, she thought with a smirk.Now she understands what it means to be betrayed by the people you love. This was the same way Natasha had felt when she had betrayed her trust by sleeping with Kelvin. It's too late to turn back now, she thought as she let out a sigh and stood up from the bed.She heard a knock on the door and she knew he was right there at the door. She hid the flin
"Ouch, Kelvin you're so sweet," she cried in ecstasy as he pulled away from her and fell to the other side of the bed.She smiled broadly as she dragged the duvet over their unclad sweaty bodies and he spread his arms across her shoulders."How do we keep having sex after the wedding?" He asked amidst pants."There is no way I'm coming here with Natasha around here. The last experience was terrible; I almost broke a limb," she complained and he laughed."We're going to meet in a private hotel room. You know, after the wedding, we've got to be careful so her family doesn't hear about our affair," he said."Hmm, I just can't wait for this to be over so we'll travel out of the country together," she said with pouty lips."Babe, you know, my mother was so happy to know that Natasha agreed to a traditional wedding. The divorce is going to be so easy, no paper binding us together by law," he said with a smirk and she chuckled."But I still prefer we get rid of her because her family would be
ADRIAN'S MANSION."Aww.. this dress is breathtaking!" Madison gushed as she touched the emerald green expensive beaded George fabric made in a buba style dress. Natasha smiled wryly, swaying back and front as the female designers adjusted the dress on her body which suited her perfectly."It's gorgeous," Alex complimented from the bed where she sat, arranging the coral beads on the bed."Is Jason done with Kelvin's attire?" Natasha asked."I think so. It'll be delivered the day after tomorrow," Madison replied. "You can take it off now, she's done with the fitting. Thank you ladies for a job well done," Alex said to the ladies."I'm so exhausted right now," Natasha lamented as the ladies took off the dress and she sat on the bed while rubbing her tummy."He's almost due," she said to Alex and Madison as soon as the ladies were out of the room."Did you hear from Amos?" Madison asked, packing up the expensive jewelry on the bed."Not really. He hasn't called since the last time we we
