FACELESS FUTURE Nine
Jay knew what his uncle meant earlier by his words, he wondered why his uncle can't direct the same strength he uses on him to advise his son to desist from an uncivilized act. He went in to meet his wife who has been waiting to celebrate the good news he brought home with him in an outstanding style. That night they were incredibly intense toward one another and it was a night of ecstasy for them.There was silence in the house till after one month. Mr. Eric appeared in Ijebu without prior notice, all the staff were shocked including Mr. Odumefun who has been acting as the CEO for a while now. Only Jay was glad to see him, the last time the meeting was inconclusive because Mr. Eric disappeared with the words 'we will continue the meeting when I return.' It took him one month to return! I hope he won't forget about sending me to Lagos, Jay wished.Three hours after Mr. Eric had settled in his office, he invited all the staff to see him in his office one after the order. He put them

Jay's supervisor was in a dialogue with one other staff member and Mr. Eric overheard them."Jay is not at work today, why?" Asked the other staff.I think his uncle has cautioned him at home, it's better he didn't come to work till when Mr. Eric will return to where he came from. Yesterday when Mr. Eric called me, you won't believe Jay has said to him that I am a bad person", words from the mouth of the supervisor."Jay is not such a person that would pull others down if there is no need for it. Did you do something bad to the company?" Asked the other staff."I didn't do anything bad, it's just that there were some money issues on the ground. Jay knew about it because we told him, it's not something to worry about. Get back to your work." The supervisor ordered the other staff out of his way.Mr. Eric knew those that mentioned Jay's name must be part of the embezzlement team."I've more staff to ease from duty than I had Imagined." He said and went to his office. Through the slight

When they went to Mr. Eric's office earlier, they gave each staff member a letter. Those that are posted to Lagos received theirs. Like two others that will follow Jay to Edo got theirs, and those he doubted, especially Jay's supervisor, were handed theirs nicely. And those who he had not found fault in them, got their letter of salary increment, every one with his letter. At about 1:25 noon, the meeting was closed and everyone formed a group to discuss the content of their letter, some headed home straight as Jay did. A few steps away from home, Jay's stomach rumbled and he felt a sharp pain. He hastened his steps, he told his wife about the sudden sharp pain he felt in his stomach, and she went to get him clean water. As she opened the door, she saw Jay breathing and sweating heavily shouting at the excruciating pain. Lola was forced to run to Bianca for help. Jay, a little weight person, became heavy for the two ladies to lift, they called for help, and his stomach began to bul

Whenever they served her any food, there was this old woman that always tasted the food first. This old woman was my dad's grandma.Mom said she told her never to trust people around her too much, now that everyone knows she's pregnant, they can do anything. "Remember those who killed your husband are still outside, you must brace yourself up, for your husband and your baby's sake!"The old woman would always sneak in native medicine and ask my mother to drink it all. "Mama, what's the prescription for?" Lola asked."This is to avert miscarriage, I heard you had two miscarriages in the past. Even if anybody attempts to kill this child in your womb, they won't succeed. You must drink it all." Lola kept drinking the concoction. Grandma is blessed in knowing when you add anything strange to food or drinks. S

They spat out more secrets, and they have forgotten that Lola still lives in the house with them."What about Lola, are you sure she didn't hear all that we have been saying since?" Uncle Matthew tried to play safe."What can she hear! Someone that probably is crying about her late husband inside the room. The only person that can pet her has gone and won't come back anytime soon" Bianca reassured her husband.Lola does not know if she should believe that something truly happened to mama or not. She still has a full month ahead to mourn her husband. Once I get out of here, the first person I will visit is mama. But how do I get her house address?

After roaming on a lonely way alone for an hour, I saw two people returning from the farm. "Hello ma, does this road lead to mama biggie's farm?" I asked to be sure I am on the right road. "Yes, keep walking ahead, though the farm is far", a response from one of them. I was relieved, the road is too quiet no wonder the elders do not want me to come alone. Waiting for Bianca is like waiting for tomorrow that would never come.Thereupon, walking for another 30 minutes, I was already tired but I was determined to never give up. I saw two men coming, they looked innocent, we walked past each other. They shouted, "madam stop there!" This can't be me, I said and took a step forward. One of the gentlemen dragged my hand and raised his hand to slap me, but he was cautioned by his fellow."Madam Lola, you are on your way to see mama, no problem! We shall take you to her", the other man sounds persuasive. I was wondering how he knows my name and where I am going, still, I can't trust him."No

He sounds amusing and fearsome at the same time. At 3 o'clock noon, I left Wuse for the Prime hotel at Gwarinpa by 1st avenue. I got there at 3:45, I phoned him, and he said "I can feel it, you are a good girl, this act has earned you an extra one hundred thousand. I recognize you in a red gown, it looks nice on you." I turned to my left and my right, I didn't see anyone. "No need to turn, you can't see me. Open the gate the first person you will see tell them you are going to room 134. The young me is waiting for you, you look ravishing." I met two ladies at the reception, I told them to take me to room 134. One of them said 'follow me'. I followed her quietly, she unlocked the door and she left with the key. I entered the room, it was more enormous than my entire house. I wonder if he lives in the hotel. He sat on a chair with his suit on him. He looked so harmless with his smile. "Come to me girl," he said lovingly. I was reluctant but I embraced him and he smells nice. His perfu

He jerked me up from the bed, I was crying out for help, thinking maybe a miracle would happen, that is if there is one actually! The more I cried out the less he cared. He handcuffed my hands together with the bondage handcuff. "Dear stubborn cat, you have been found guilty of turning me on with your voice, you are hereby sentenced to a moment of unforgettable pleasure with me! Do you like my verdict?" he asked sanely"You are crazy Jack!" I screeched out loud.He clapped his hands three times, "stubborn cat, I must say I like your gut!" He glowered his mouth, and suddenly his expression changed, there was a fire burning in his eyes. "I hate how you are glaring at me," he said and reached out to the blindfold, and used it to coat my eyes."Stubborn cat, you won't lie like a log, you have to make me feel the activities that are about to start, this is the only way I can help you feel better."Everything he said I do not understand. What workouts was he talking about? How can I see wh

FACELESS FUTURE Thirty
Mr. Seye could not reckon that his wife harbored such impressions about him, he couldn't blame her much because he also had such a judgment against Mr. Peter. It is typical for anyone to worry in such a manner as Tonia for the past three months had no records of receiving any visitors.Mrs. Bolu regretted her actions, she was human so she must act that way. Tonia has what she the legal wife does not have. She was determined to ask for Tonia's forgiveness and apologize to her husband for her rude behaviour towards him earlier.Mr. Seye entered the room, and pretended like he didn't hear any of the arguments between the ladies, he gently went to bed because the wife acted like she was sleeping. She didn't know how to face her husband though, she thought her husband did not hear her earlier, but she felt miserable within.Maybe because families have begun to ask her the 'WHY' question as if she can produce a baby by herself. They seem to have forgotten that her marriage is only thirty-s
FACELESS FUTURE Twenty Nine
A week after Tonia moved into her new apartment, she started trading. She made a kiosk outside where she displayed her goods and there was a good turnover.She has helped her mother out managing the store countless times, she knew how to grow a business from scratch because her mother taught her the principle that connects buying and selling of goods before she slept in glory.Slowly and steadily her business began to grow, most people in the neighbourhood preferred to patronise her because of how fresh most of her goods are, and also she sells at an affordable price, she's not part of those that hike up the price of the stock. Though, she buys in small quantities.Her co-tenants were happy to have her watching over the house while they were away. They love how hardworking she is and also how cheerful and vibrant she has in no time turned the compound.Tonia stayed two months without contacting Mama, she went to the market, as usual, to buy what she will sell. She felt it would be al
FACELESS FUTURE Twenty Eight
Mama Agnes' final phrase struck Tonia's spirit if only Mama Agnes knew she wouldn't be returning anytime soon. She assumed she heard Mama's voice calling out to her, so she intensified her walk. She was lucky at the bus stop, the cab needed just one more passenger to occupy the last seat. She kept her load inside the boot and filled the leftover spot. It's common for drivers to tell their passengers to enter with change, to avoid fighting on the road. Though the driver forgot to inform her, she had the exact amount to pay without wasting each other's time at the bus stop.She left the house when the cloud still had a shade of darkness in it. By the time she arrived at her destination, the sun had shone brightly all over the space. She got to the new apartment, there were four tenants in number and occupied room two.She knew Mama would have seen the letter, she wanted to hear her voice before she pulled the sim into the phone. She was scared of reaching her, she felt she left too soon
FACELESS FUTURE Twenty-Seven
She moved a few of her things to mama's room and the ones that are too heavy for her to move to her new place, she sold at a giveaway price. The other tenants were surprised by her actions, they comprehend she needs money to keep up.Four days later she got another apartment but she was yet to move into it. She thought of hanging around with mama for a few more days, she wanted to buy airtime outside, as she stepped out, she saw a familiar car coming from afar, she ran to the house, hid in the bathroom, and told Simon to lied to anyone that may come to look for her that she's not around.Behold, Jack came a minute later she had instructed Simon. "Hello, there!" Jack greeted people he met outside. The woman selling petty stuff, and a customer were standing outside, while Becky was in her room following through the window."Hello sir, what did you want to buy?" as a business woman she asked. Before Jack would say a thing, Becky hurried out of her room."Mama Agnes, not everybody is a
FACELESS FUTURE Twenty Six
Mama thought for a while before giving a response to Tonia's question. "You don't necessarily need to travel down to the south, Abuja is large enough for you to hide without anyone knowing." Mama never wanted Tonia to be too far from her side, she wanted her within the suburb of Abuja."Mama, you know I seldom go out. Where in Abuja did you think is safe for me?" She asked the old lady."Well, we have places like Bwari, Gudu, Kuje, Maraba, and Gwagwalada. My dear houses in this area are affordable and the cost of living is not high." Mama gave her a list to choose from."Mama, thanks for your guidance. I will sleep over the list and pick the one my mind aligns with," Tonia let out."If you have discomfort sleeping here alone, you are free to poke in my room till when you will be leaving. Don't worry I will visit you every now and then." Mama said and returned to her room.Tonia was alone in her room, thinking of the best place to hide from the list. She decided to try Gwagwalada out.
FACELESS FUTURE Twenty Five
Tonia bolted the door from behind instantly as she succeeded in sending Simon away. She sat on the floor beside her plate of Amala. She was hungry but she chose to open the envelope first. She screamed out of fear and lost her appetite after she read the letter."Tonia! It's not a mistake that I nicknamed you a stubborn cat, I will advise you not to prove stubborn with me."Don't you ever think that you can run away from me forever. I know your house and I can track you down any day if you attempt to play smart with me."I gave you a reasonable amount to flush out whatever that you said is growing in your belly, don't you dare think to pin me down with it, you've got the wrong person."I'd search for you and kill you with my hands, the day you think of creating any scandal for me. Like literally choke you to death."I will make earth unbearable for you and hell will also reject you. Maybe I am wrong and you are a nice person, but probably not. Watch your steps!!!"This was the letter
FACELESS FUTURE Twenty Four
Tonia got home exhausted, while inside the taxi she had measured all that she would work out for the rest of the evening. She planned to take her bath first and then retire to bed till the next day when she will get a new phone.Tonia lives in a multi-tenanted building, her room is the third by the left. There were nine tenants altogether."Tonia, where have you been and you switched off your line?" One of the tenants asked her, as she just slipped out of the taxi. The woman sells petty things outside the compound."I went for a retreat," she said struggling to get her bag down from the car. There was a boy of 10 years old, seated outside, he ran to help Tonia with her bag."The retreat made your flesh start coming up," the woman teased her. Tonia blushed and went inside. She had a fifty naira note on her table days ago, before she left the house, she gave it to the boy that helped her.She felt sad a bit, she wished that her mother was alive, she would have told her about madam Flore
FACELESS FUTURE Twenty Three
Jack expected me to repeat what I disclosed before. I knew very well the baby belonged to him, ever since the day that Jack forcefully laid himself on me, I got irked at the view of any man. No other person knew the color of my panties save Jack."It was confirmed by the hospital that I am pregnant with your child," I shouted out loud enough for him to hear."Tonia, you are joking right now?" A ridiculous question Jack asked."Why do I call to see urgently? If I don't have something as important as life to discuss with you, I wouldn't have pushed back on my words," I simply let him know.He howled, "What did you intend to gain from me with this pregnancy?" I could not believe what I had just heard. Did I ever say I wanted to be seen with him? I questioned why my belly allowed his seed to grow inside me."Jack, I didn't get myself pregnant, you did! Stop switching the blame on me. If you hadn't tipped me off with an aphrodisiac, we wouldn't be having this conversation, blame yourself
FACELESS FUTURE Twenty Two
"When did you find out that you are pregnant?" Madam Florence raised a question.It was a few weeks ago. I was feeling sick repeatedly, I assumed it was the difficulty of the work I engaged myself in. Since the death of my mother, no help from anyone. I often visit people's houses and ask if they have any dirty clothes, I wash to get paid. The little I earned from it, I spent on my day-to-day feeding, it's better off than stealing.When I was feeling sick, I rushed to get Paracetamol at a nearby pharmacy. I only feel a bit relieved for short periods. After a while, the uneasy feeling resurfaced.One afternoon, I was on my way to get the usual paracetamol, and I stumbled on Dr. Alex, he was one of the doctors that gave attention to my mom at wuse hospital. He recognized me at once."Tonia, sorry about your mom's death. As doctors we tried our best," Dr. Alex confessed."Thanks, I knew you all tried everything within your span to keep her alive but death is stronger than us. She's resti
