Getting outside the establishment, they were rooted there as Leo lurched out of his car to meet them."I can see you got some nerves, huh?" He said."Well, you just said so." Edwin replied."Now, to think that you can threaten her just for a lunch date makes you more of a coward than you really are." He added.Leo pulled the sun glasses he had worn; his eyes radiated fury. He was gulled down already. "I can see you have guts; but let me remind you that she's mine and mine alone! You can never end up with her, the moment you learn to live with it the better for you!" He vibrated."Enough of all these tantrums, leo!" Angela declared." I'm sick and tired of all your excesses; why can't you just let us be!" She cried out." No my dear, you're are making a very big mistake here! If there's anyone that you should be with, that person should be me!" He turned to Edwin as he continued." Edwin here has nothing to offer you; he has barely taken care of himself let alone you!" He disparaged."

Dr. Rey was on his phone when Edwin walked in. He ended the call at the sight of him."Good day, sir." Edwin greeted."What's this that I'm hearing, that you of all persons had to fight in a hospital?"Edwin was quiet, he didn't utter any word."Just tell me it's not true." Dr. Rey added."I'm sorry, sir but it's true.""How could you? Weren't you aware that you're a doctor and in a hospital for that matter?" He gave a disappointed gaze at him."I'm very sorry, sir. I know there's no excuse for my actions earlier but please find a place in your heart to forgive me.""It's not all about me; how do you expect your subordinates to look at you? You just lost the honor they all have for you.""I'm so sorry, sir." Edwin whispered."I'm sorry, but you have to face the aftermath of your actions. I would have fired you if I didn't know you to be a good man; you are hereby withdrawn from office for a month. You know what that infers. No one month salary for you."Edwin lowered his eyes in compl

'you must marry Leo or else, you will leave me with no other choice than to disown you.' were the exact words of her dad.Angela stood in front of her window, gazing into the cloudy blue sky from the third floor of her room. She couldn't fathom abandoning the one she loves with everything in her. Her world has crumbled.Remembering how she had promised to spend her forever with him, breaks her heart.Immediately, her door opened quietly as her mum walked in."I want to be left alone mum," Angela uttered. Her voice was cold."You need to calm down dear." Her mum replied as she took some steps closer to her.Placing her hand on Angela's shoulder, she continued. "Your dad wants to see you downstairs.""What for?" She asked."Leo is downstairs, he wants to have a lunch date with you." Her mum explained.Angela turned, facing her mum. "I don't want to, mum. Why can't you and Dad understand that I have a man I'm deeply in love with?" She questioned, fighting the tears that welled in her ey

Leo stood up at the sight of Angela. His eyes were red with desire. He had never seen a beautiful damsel like the one standing in front of him. "Good afternoon sir," Angela greeted Leo. After giving her parents a peck on their cheeks. "Good afternoon, beautiful," Leo replied. "Angela, meet Leo, the Mayor's son I told you about. Leo, meet Angela, my daughter." Her dad introduced the duo to each other. "Nice to meet you, Leo," Angela spoke out, bringing forth her right hand for a shake. "My pleasure, beautiful one," Leo replied as he landed a warm kiss on the back of her palm. Aside from Edwin, Leo is the second guy Angela had ever referred to as handsome. She never knew Leo was a handsome young man; until that day. He was tall, fair-skinned just like her. He was slim and hairy too. But despite all, his looks were nothing compared to that of Edwin. To Angela, Edwin was the most handsome man she had ever seen. Handsome? Maybe that was an understatement. He was beautiful. Every g

"Why aren't you picking up?" Leo asked, starting the ignition as he sped on the road."Will it be okay with you if I pick up?" Angela replied."Sure. Go ahead." He responded.Angela picked up the call instantly."Hello, babe how are you doing this afternoon?" Edwin asked.'I'm very well, just missing you." She replied, turning to look at Leo whose countenance changed on hearing such from her.Angela knew he felt bad about what she had just said, but she never cared. She turned her face towards the windscreen touching her golden necklace as she continued."How is your evening going to be? Do you mind going on a dinner date with me?" Edwin asked."Sure, You know I can't resist you. Why not? I do mind going." She replied."Alright, I will text you the location later. I can't wait to be with you, honey." He expressed."Same here babe. I have missed you so much." She replied, taking another glance at Leo who seemed to be melting. He was yellow with jealousy."I have missed you more my hear

Angela didn't utter a word. She feared he might run them into an accident.Leo regretted his actions. "I'm sorry for yelling." He said remorsefully."I understand," Angela replied, tittering. She feared saying anything that could erupt that fierce part of him again.A few minutes later, they arrived at Angela's house. Angela suggested he pulled over at their threshold gate, instead of driving her in; so that he could drive back to his house on time. She didn't want him to visit her parents. She feared he might tell on her about Edwin's call.Leo decided not to wake a sleeping dog. The last thing on his mind was to permit the repetition of what had happened earlier.He came down from his car and hastened his steps towards the front door. He opened the door for her to step out, giving her a kiss on her forehead and a peck subsequently. Did I forget to mention that he gave her a warm embrace too?The reek from his perfume was seductive. Any girl would long for a man wearing such perfume.

" Do have a seat," Edwin spoke as he pulled out the seat for her to sit on. She responded as she sat down. He sat opposite her afterward."So tell me, how have you been lately?" He questioned." I've been good. I now run my dad's hospital. He finally got what he wanted from me right from the beginning." She expressed."Wow! That's cool. I'm glad you are doing great." He replied with glee."Enough about me, how have you been?" She asked."Well," He exclaimed, adjusting his sitting posture, as he continued. "I work in a private hospital as the head surgeon."" Wow, I'm proud of you. At least, you can now take good care of your mum. I know she's so proud of you." Angela responded."You can say that again." He replied."To tell you the truth babe, I was wondering where you had gotten the money to pay for a dinner date in a five-star hotel. I had believed that maybe you were trying to impress me." She stated.Edwin guffawed with delight on hearing such. "Of course, I should impress you.

"Good morning my love, how was your night?" He greeted, exhaling a wide yawn. "Good morning babe, my night was fascinating. She replied. He smiled on hearing much from her, looking straight into her eyes. Angela lowered her jaw immediately; she didn't have the audacity to look him in the eyes. "You seem to be troubled, what's wrong?" He asked. Drawing closer to her, he continued; "Or are you not happy about what happened last night? "No, it's not that," she uttered; shaking her head. "Then what? Talk to me, babe." He demanded, raising her chin with his palm, forcing her to look him in the eyes. His eyes searched hers aimlessly. He could see the nervousness in it. "Talk to me babe, I'm always here for you". He said assuredly. Angela could feel the curiosity radiating out of his tone. Seeing that he wasn't giving up, she decided to break the ice. She sat upright, resting her back on the bedhead. Her jaw clenched, and her eyes were bloodshot; she blinked repeatedly, fighting th

And where are you coming from?" He thundered."I.., I..," she stammered."Yes? Speak up; you what?"Mr. Akpan, seeing how nervous she was, decided to make ends meet. "Oga no vex, she go down the supermarket go buy something." He interrupted in vernacular English."Since when did you become her spokesperson? Allow her to explain herself." "Sorry, sir." Turning to Angela he signaled her to speak out."I'm sorry, Dad. I went down to the supermarket to get some cookies and pastries." She regained her voice."Why was it so hard for you to admit it, then? ""I'm sorry about that, Dad; I didn't mean to leave the house without informing you or Mum.""It's alright, Leo just called me; he told me you weren't answering his calls and I came to find out why."Her countenance dimmed immediately, "I don't want to speak to him, Dad." She mumbled"Exactly why I'm here to find out why."Abruptly, his phone rang, cutting the conversation short."You can go inside, but just know we have an unfinished co

Her dad, noticing how restless she was, asked; "hope everything is alright with you?"A flash of current ran through her system on hearing such a question from him. "Me? Yeah.., sure… everything is alright." She managed to speak as if she was trying to swallow down a still-racing heart."Then, why are you not eating? You have been on your phone for five minutes now." She grinned; "I will eat, now. " She gulped down her cup of tea immediately to everyone's surprise. Dabbing her mouth with the serviette, she cleaned the crumbs of bread on the table and said 'thank you, dad and mum' before heading to her room.They were both left aloft; that was unlike her. She was always the last to leave the dining table after any meal. She has been a slow eater since childhood. They stared at her while she climbed the stairs to her room. They had even forgotten to close their mouths."Horny, what's wrong with her?" Mr. Kenneth asked. "I'm dumbfounded as you are; it's really unfathomable." She repli

Her eyes widened; she tried screaming, but the heavy pound from her forehead didn't give her the leverage to do so; "oh no!" She exclaimed."What's the matter with you?" Miss. Anna asked."I was so intoxicated last night that I didn't know when Edwin called." She complained.A flash of current ran through Miss. Anna's system; she couldn't fathom what she just heard. Her eyes sparkled as she shouted."What? You came back home drunk last night!""Shhh.., please bring your voice down; dad or mum could hear you.""What do you mean, why did you get yourself drunk last night?" She whispered. "Shit! I shouldn't have said that." She mumbled."Not that I was very drunk. Leo and I just had a drink last night, and I came back a little tipsy." She explained."You should have drank responsibly; what if your parents had seen you when you came back? You would have been in trouble by now." Miss. Anna scolded."I wished they did; at least, they would have banned me from going out with that jerk, Leo.

"What do you mean?" She managed to ask. "Nevermind; forget it." He uttered as he started the engine, and drove to his house, he wanted to replace the shirt Angela had messed up. Getting to the gate, he honked for the gateman to open up. The gateman shuffled to the gate to get it opened. He was in his dark-red on black uniform, with his black boots and barrett that was tilted to the side. He was charcoal in complexion, with two tribal marks on his both cheeks; his pot belly made him robust and closer to the ground even when he was just average heightened. Though he was from Niger, he could speak Yoruba fluently owing to the fact that he had stayed in Lagos for close to ten years. As Leo drove in, he parked his car before his duplex as he stepped down. "Ka a ale, sir; kaabo! Good evening, sir; welcome!" the gateman bowed. "Ka a ale; Bawo ni o ṣe n ṣe? Good evening, how are you doing?" He replied moving to the other side of the car where Angela was seated. " Mo dupe lowo Olorun,

Angela seeing that all eyes were on her, busied the call. "It's nothing serious." She ittered, making them remove their attention from her. A few seconds later, her phone beeped a message notification; it was from Edwin. She opened her inbox to read; "How are feeling now, babe? Hope your dad didn't punish you much?" "I'm feeling better now, babe; my dad didn't punish me, he only invited Leo to escort us to Mrs. Pricilia's place for a condolence visit. We are still there now." She texted him back. Her legs made a gentle pound on the floor as she waited for his reply. She wasn't part of the discussion anymore; all her attention was on her chat with Edwin. Her phone beeped another message notification; Edwin had sent his reply as she opened her inbox to read. "Alright, I'm calm now knowing that you are good; as for Leo, don't listen to whatever crab he has to say. Take care of yourself for me; I love you." "Thank you, take care of yourself, too. I love you." She replied, and dippe

Angela sat in front of her mirror combing her long ponytail when she had a knock on her door."Yes, come in!" She permitted as Miss Anna walked in."Hello, my sunshine; hope you're ready, your parents are waiting for you downstairs. She said, strolling towards her.Getting to where she was sitting, she placed her hand on her shoulder; "you look so beautiful!" She looked into the mirror, admiring Angela's image."Thank you," Angela replied with a soft smile. "Put this on, if fits better on your black dress." Miss. Anna suggested, taking the diamond necklace that was inside the jewelry box on her make-up vanity. She helped her to put it on; "perfect!" She exclaimed, jamming her hands together. "Thank you, Miss. Anna; it really fits perfectly!" Angela said, admiring the necklace she had worn in the mirror."You're welcome, sweetheart; you have to go downstairs now; you know you can't keep your parents waiting.""Alright!" She replied, applying some cherry red lipstick, and stood up af

"What's going on here?" Mr. Kenneth asked. His eyes were fire; his fist clenched and his skin reddened, with intense eye contact."No.. nothing sir!" Edwin stuttered."Really, I sent you here to help my daughter who is emotionally down, only for you to take it as an advantage to molest her, right?" He scolded."It's not what you think dad; he wasn't molesting me, and besides I'm an adult; I know what I want and who I want to spend the rest of my life with; it's high time you stopped forcing Leo on me." she defended."One more word from you, and I will forget about your mental health and slap the silly out of you if you ever speak to me in such a manner!" He objurgated.His gaze became more furious towards Edwin; the radiation from his burning eyes warmed his skin; "now, get out of my house and never come back!" He yelled.Edwin took some speedy steps out of the room; he was lucky he didn't receive on his smooth cheek a thunderous effect of his hand.Reminiscing over the recurrence of
