Dream wake THE VISIT
Chapter 21EYAREI woke up to the chatter of birds chirping. With my eyes still closed, I searched for her but my hands came up empty.The bed was still warm. Her scent filled my nostrils and I breathed in deeply. I loved waking up with her in my arms. Where could she have gone? I heard the creaking of the bed and felt it dip. Her scent was stronger now."Come here!" I said. My arms outstretched.I frowned when she didn't fill them, but I was rewarded with her warm body against mine some seconds later. "Baby, where did you go?" I pouted. "I missed you." She didn't respond, so I opened my eyes.She was smiling mischievously, a matchstick in her hand, poised against my ears. I knew what she was about to do. She thought my eyes were still closed, so I clamped them shut and lunged at her.She squealed and started giggling as I tickled her. The matchstick dropped from her fingers and I got up and pinned her to the bed, holding her captive with her two hands. She was grinning from ear to ea

Chapter 22EYAREI tried valiantly, to get myself under control.I didn't want Osagiede to see the diary, so I pocketed it. I didn't even want her to know I had already read the contents of it.I was still feeling light-headed, so I went to take a shower, leaving the diary in the pocket of my Jeans.After I got out, I laid down on the bed, tossing and turning. I couldn't sleep, neither had I come to any conclusion on what to do yet.Does it mean he snuck into the house while we were away?Was it Geoffrey or someone trying to play a sick trick?Had he been watching us all this time?Watching Osagiede?Watching our baby?All these questions begged for answers, but none as forthcoming.An involuntary shudder ran through me at that thought of him watching Osagiede and out baby. I couldn't take it anymore, so I got up. I couldn't think of anyone else to call except Gboyega. "Hey man, where are you?" I tried to keep the tremors out of my voice but failed miserably."On my way to your place,
Dream wake THE DINNER
Chapter 23OSAGIEDEI looked at him while he slept.I couldn't stop myself.Before I knew it, I began caressing his handsome face. I traced his well-defined jaw, feeling the rough stubble beneath my finger tips. I took in his full lips. These lips have done a number on me many times. They were slightly parted, a light snore filtering through them.My heart squeezed with love for this man --- my husband.He was everything Geoffrey wasn't --- kind hearted, selfless and patient. Too patient, but most of all, he was a wonderful father. I was so honoured to have him as my husband.I should never have gotten back with Geoffrey. What the hell had I been doing all this while Cavorting like a damn prostitute.Sobs racked my body once more, as words spilled unheeded from my lips.Forgive me my love, forgive me for all the wrongs I've caused you... two times over.He stirred beside me and my heart leapt into my mouth.Had he heard me?Oh God, I hope not. I couldn't stand any form of scorn from hi
Dream wake NO SHOW
Chapter 24EYAREI expected Red to have contacted me on the day he said he would.That was one week ago.I had been holding back on calling him, because I didn't want to seem too eager, but damn it, this was my wife we were talking about.My hands hovered over my phone. They were itching to tap on his number.Oh what the heck!I snatched it up and dialed his number. It rang and rang until it rang off. I called again, still no pick up. I stood up from my chair and began pacing the length of my office. I just knew I wasn't going to get any job done today. When I looked at the time, it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon.I'd better push off home then. I'd cleared my table for the day, anyway. I stuck my head into Mr. Jolaoso's office and told him I was off. He grunted something unintelligible and continued typing on his laptop. I smiled. He didn't like being disturbed when he was working, it made him loose focus. I understood perfectly.As I drove unto the free way, I suddenly didn't feel li
Dream wake THE UNRAVELLING
Chapter 25OSAGIEDEThe door of the sitting room opened and closed, informing me that someone had come in. It was faint, but I'd always prided myself on my good hearing.I checked Eseosa to see if she was still sleeping. Little noises startled her these days. Luckily, she was still fast asleep.The house was quiet. Mum and dad were not yet awake, thankfully. I lied to them Eyare went for a business meeting and wouldn't be back home last night. I didn't want them to think we were having issues in our marriage. Truth is, our marriage was close to perfect. Better than most I"d heard of. I just didn't think I'd see the day Eyare would spend the night out of his matrimonial home.Was he having an affair?I pondered on this for a bit. I didn't think so.I hadn't been able to sleep at all last night. I was sick with worry and anger. I had oscillated between those two emotions all night. Another emotion had added itself to the duo --- fear.I was scared. Scared of the unknown. Scared somethin
Dream wake THE UBRAVELLING - II
Chapter 26EYARE"This is crazy! This is so fucking crazy. Can you please get a doctor to attend to my wife." I shouted at the nurses behind the desk. Two of them had taken the brunt of my tongue for the last ten minutes and sincerely, I felt sorry for them, but I just couldn't help myself.We had been in the hospital for a total of thirty minutes and were told the doctor --- all the doctors, if I might add, were in a surgery, attending to a burst appendix.It was life threatening, they said.Yes! But my wife's unconscious state was also life - threatening.Osagiede was put in a private hospital room with a neck - collar to stabilise her head to prevent minimal movement. There was an ugly bruise on her right cheek where she had fallen down. The nurses had cleaned it out, though it hadn't changed much in appearance. She was put on an antibacterial drip and had also been given series of injections.I was quite worried at the fact that she still hadn't woken up yet. She looked really lif
Dream wake THE EVIDENCE
Chapter 27EYAREShe broke the silence first. "The name's Imade." Her eyes flicked from the road and landed on me. Piercing eyes that assessed me. I knew she was waiting for me to reciprocate in kind, so I had to say something."That's a great name you have. How's it working out for you?"She smiled. "It means I did not fall."I nodded. "Yes, I know." And I fell silent. I realised she was waiting for me to introduce myself. This was evident as her eyes left the road once more and settled on me, with raised brows."I'm sorry Imade, my name is Eyare Osazuwa. I'm not just in a good place right now, please forgive me."There was a pause before she tentatively replied. "Are you by any chance related to the Osazuwa family? You know --- the great king of Ozala town?"As soon as she asked the question, I expected to feel the familiar tightness in my chest as I normally would when it popped up. Instead, I felt peace and I knew just what it was.I had finally come to terms with who my father wa
Dream wake THE FORGOTEN
Chapter 28UNKNOWNMy memory had dimmed drastically ever since I had been brought here.I was a man with good robust health and full of zest for life. Now, I had become a husk --- a shell of my former self.I was a full - bodied man when I was alive.No, I was not alive now. This was not living. This was more like the living - dead.I could feel my ribs poking out of my skin. My legs were little more than prods, an extension of my laps. I no longer had much feeling in them anymore. My whole body had emaciated badly. I looked like a skeleton, like the walking dead.I heard some squeaking in the dimly lit room and knew my friends, the rats, were around. They did not fear me. They constantly crept out of corners, and skittered all over my body, biting and nipping at my already tender skin.Initially I would whimper with pain from the many bites, but now, I welcomed it. It was a kind of pleasure - pain for me, something to occupy my time and mind. Because of this, my skin constantly itched

Dream wake SOME TRUE FACTS ABOUT THE OBA OF BENIN
Hi guys, when I was writing this story, I didn't think for once it would be a story about an heir to the throne. Truth is, as I write, inspiration comes to me.My Edo name is actually Osagiede and I decided to use it for my female character. No, I'm not married yet, neither would I do what she did to my husband, like at all. Lol.So inspiration struck me to make Eyare as the next king or Oba, if you like.So here are a few truths about the Oba of Benin and how powerful he is:1.) The Oba of Benin is seen as the most powerful man in Benin and possibly, in the whole of Nigeria.A lie, you say?Well, he once left former President Good luck Jonathan sitting and waiting for him for about fifteen minutes. Even then, he never came out.A court messenger was sent to former president Goodluck to tell him to meet with the Oba in his private chambers due to circumstances beyond his control.2.) When he is seen in public, he always has a white handkerchief covering his mouth, same with his wives.
Dream wake EPILOGUE
EyareAs I lay on the deck chair soaking some sun into my body, I reminisced on times past.Osagiede told me black people don't sun themselves - that we're already black. I disagreed with her there. All creatures black and white needed the sun for sustenainance.Sea gulls screeched overhead, their white wings fluttering as they craned their long graceful necks. They really were beautiful creatures.Maldives was a beautiful place with white clean sea shores and water so clear and blue, you could actually see deep below.Eseosa ran around in a one - piece bathing suit, her two hands high on either side of her. She made a noise like the sound of a plane. When she saw me watching her, she rushed to me."Daddy, come and play with me." She began to drag me up from the chair and I reluctantly got up and joined her. I knew I looked silly, but I needed do what my little princess wanted. At three years old, she was a force to be reckoned with.I heard someone laughing and I looked up to see Osag
Dream wake THE CORONATION - II
Chapter 41EyareOne hour was almost up and I was yet to come to a decision.It was a difficult decision to take after all.If I agreed to do it, not only would I be adhering to some strange religion, I would also be letting my father down who abolished all forms of paganism. And then they might also bring another hurdle my way.If on the other hand I disagreed, they would do all in their power to stop me from becoming king.I felt stuck.Try as much as I could, I couldn't think of a way out of this mess. I joined mother in pacing.I was damned if I did, damned if I didn't.The time was up. The one hour I had given came and went.The high chiefs began to file in one by one. When they were seated, Chief Idionsere stood up and addressed me."So my prince, have you come to a decision yet?" I looked at each of the chief's faces individually. They all seemed pleased with themselves.I had definitely come to a decision.I would definitely not partake in such ungodly, unholy fetish tradition.
Dream wake THE CORONATION - I
Chapter 40OsagiedeThe day loomed bright and clear, but as usual, Eyare was still asleep. If care was not taken, he would be late for his own coronation. I had already had a bath and given Eseosa one too, all that was needed was for us to dress up. I sighed impatiently and tapped him on the shoulder."Unnnng!" I rolled my eyes at his response."Wake up, sleepy head, your coronation is in a few hours time. Remember you have a meeting with the high chiefs first and that is in about two hours from now." He shot up like a light, looking like he'd just seen a ghost.It was really amusing seeing him hopping on one leg trying to remove one leg of his boxers. He stumbled and fell, almost giving me a heart attack. He began to laugh at himself and I only joined in when I saw he was okay.I left him to his business while I went to check on the women who were cooking. The house had been in a festive period the past one week. As I descended the stairs, I admired the beautiful flowers that had been
Dream wake A HAPPY REUNION
Chapter 39EyareI had been back home for a few days and I still avoided talking with Osagiede about her affair with Osaze.I knew it wasn't her fault, but that didn't mean it wasn't a sore subject for me.I had put it off for too long. I couldn't continue to do it for much longer. I would have to broach the subject soon.She had been jumpy and sad around me, even though I would occasionally catch her looking at me with a smile on her face.I noticed she also looked pale and sick. She had been retching every morning and I worried for her. When I asked what was wrong, she avoided my eyes, shook her head and replied in a quiet voice that she was fine.I suggested we go to the hospital, but she always turned it down. I hoped she wasn't coming down with some bacterial infection. If she continued this way, I would have no option but to force her to the hospital.She was talking to mother at the kitchen table and they were cooking up some delicacy. Just for me, they said. This was part one,
Dream wake A WAY FORWARD
Chapter 38OsagiedeI took in the scene before me and I vowed that my heart skipped some precious beats. It left me holding unto the door post for aid.Eyare had a knife to Eseosa's neck and was mumbling unintelligible words. His hands were a tight clamp round her neck.Something seemed off.His eyes were open, but blank - unseeing, like he wasn't there at all mentally. His face had taken on a slack look, as if his muscles were no longer functioning. He didn't look like the man I knew, like the man I married.Spittle dribbled down his lips and his head lolled to one side.I was distinctly reminded of a zombie -- a mindless zombie. He shifted backwards and forwards on his feet, as if unsure of which direction to take.Eseosa was crying pathetically and I just stood helplessly, unsure of what to do. She looked anguished and confused. She sighted me and lifted a hand up, calling me for aid to help her.The life of my daughter flashed before me. Her birth, the news of the debilitating sick
Dream wake THE ESCAPE - II
Chapter 37GBOYEGAI smelt it before I saw it.It gave off a fresh, tangy odour and the wind had picked up quite a lot. I was glad for that because my shirt had begun to stick to my body with sweat.When I looked at the map, I realised I should have come across it earlier. Was there another route that would have taken me there faster, perhaps? I wondered.I quickened my tired steps.Maybe the lake had dried up.I came across a crooked path littered with dead dry leaves and mossy grass.Moss?Don't they grow where water resides? I must be close.I quickened my steps towards it. Wherever it led me, I would follow.I closed my eyes against the glare of the sunlight as I had long ditched the dark glasses I was wearing. I was sweating too profusely to bother with it.Since my eyes were closed, I lost my footing and stumbled. I felt myself tumble down an incline and my back pack went flying. My body took a serious hit as I kept tumbling. I only prayed I didn't break any bones on the way dow
Dream wake A FINAL DECISION
Chapter 36OsagiedeI felt like a cornered rat as they both stared at me --- Rita and my daughter.Imade noticed the look on my face and immediately understood, but she didn't turn around. Instead, she smiled and nodded at me."Yes, of course you both are having an affair of sorts. That's because both Geoffrey and Eyare both grew up together and they're like brothers. That makes him somewhat of a brother in law to you." She smiled at me, sending a message with her eyes."Yes, yes that's true!" I replied, grateful for her ingenuous move, but in the same vein, annoyed at her audacity. Still, I played along."He's quite the charmer, though." She continued talking, as if to herself. "Eyare told me a bit about him. Little wonder chicks fall for him like a pack of cards." She looked me straight in the eyes and chuckled sarcastically.Her barb didn't fall short on me. I had a few up my sleeves too. Unlike her, I didn't have time to play around. I went straight for the jugular."Well now, from

Chapter 35 Gboyega Elsa and the kids travelled back to Canada and life couldn't have been more lonely. I sighed audibly as I looked at the writing before me. I had been staring at the same words for the past twenty minutes but nothing had registered in my head. My eyes had become blurry and my mind kept straying to Eyare. What had happened to him? Everytime I called his number, I kept getting a switched off message. I even went severally to his place, but had seen a locked gate on all occasions. That worried me! Things were quiet with Red.His family was at a safe house and his daughter was recuperating nicely. Things seemed too calm for my liking and this put me on the alert. It made me jumpy and nervous, so I decided to call him. "Boss! I was just about to call you." He sounded excited. "Spill the beans." His excitement was infectious. "I've got major info on what Mr. Eyare asked for. When can we see?" "Do you need to ask twice? Come on over to my office now." I pumped my f
