Surprised was an understatement as to how I felt when Louis hugged me. I was expecting shouting, yelling and cursing. That hug really took me aback and I wondered what was going through his mind. Was he angry? Did he blame me? I felt so much joy at his embrace and hoped that it wouldn't go down hill from there.
I returned the hug, gently rubbing on his back to sooth him because I knew he needed it. My actions made him tighten his embrace. I was so sad seeing him this way and I knew why. In as much as I didn't like Lola I knew that he loved her dearly.
I waited for him to pull away first and when he did, I led him to sit in the lounge area of the study with Aminu trailing behind us and taking a seat. The study looked almost exactly like his office at the company with the only difference being the color of the chairs which were grey instead of black. The set up was the same.

ZaraWe all walked into the club which was bustling with people. Tanna and Tiara whom Tayo has called earlier were by my side with the guys trailing behind us. The music was so loud that I was sure I would have lost my hearing if not for the ear muffs they gave us at the door to lessen the intensity of the sound.This was my first time coming here and I was in awe of how beautiful and luxurious this place was. Louis did a very good job with the place and it seemed to be popular because they had stopped admitting people in because of the crowd.Louis came up front and lead us to the VIP section which was less crowded and more chill than the rest of the club and as an ambivert that I was, this suited me perfectly. Although the lights were dim enough, we could still see where we were going.Once we were seated, Louis ordered us some drinks while we social

ZaraI was hurting. My heart was banging in my chest like there was no tomorrow. Why did I always have to get the short end of the stick when it came to men. I was utterly convinced that Aminu loved me and he had this baby mama issue under control. I felt stupid and used. I fought tears from rolling down my cheeks because he was still in the vicinity. I wouldn't let him have the satisfaction of seeing me cry.I picked my bag up and walked out of the bathroom into the restroom intersection with my head held high only to bump into another nightmare, Patrick. As if Jasmine wasn't enough torture."We meet again in this awkward way" he said citing how we bumped into each other when we first met. I had no time to think about that."What do you want Patrick? I don't have time for your rubbish today." I snapped. I normally wouldn't talk like this but I was very angry and the last thing I needed was Patrick b

AminuMy head was in literal shambles. I had no idea what was going on or why Zara didn't want to see me. I didn't wait for Louis and I to be completely out the door before I snapped "What was the meaning of that in there guy? Why won't you let me see her?""Calm down we'll talk about it" Louis said. I knew he tried to sound calm but Louis couldn't pretend to save his unborn kids.I started pacing the hallway out of frustration "You really need to start talking right now before I completely lose it!" I almost yelled. I couldn't think straight and I was fuming. Zara wasn't okay and they wouldn't let me see her?"Calm the fuck down man. Not here, the study." Louis said and started walking away. I followed him, almost running past him into the study. I was too anxious to know what happened. I had just come back from seeing my father who again took Patrick

AminuMy heart raced as I peered open the door to Zara's room. I saw Zara drinking her coffee while talking with her friend. I also saw that the flowers I dropped near the door were now next to her on her bed. I took that as a good sign and finally made my way into the room. They seemed not to notice my presence until I closed the door, then I was met with two sets of wide eyes. I walked towards them as Zara looked away."Hey babe" I said with hopes that she would at least talk to me. Well, she didn't. Lotanna took the cue to excuse herself which was good because I was about to beg her to leave us alone.I sat in Zara's bed facing her and she flinched away like I was some sort of disease. It hurt me to my very soul. Jasmine was going to get it from me this time around."Babe please listen okay? Whatever Jasmine told you is a lie okay. All lies. The only thing that ties us together is a son that I'm n

ZaraI walked slowly through the dark and foggy forest, trying to make my way out unseen, unheard. It was hard but I had to try. Danger was lurking in the trees, between the leaves and it was coming for me. The forest was pitch black, the moon being my only source of illumination. My bare feet weren't fully touching the ground because I was afraid that someone would hear me. It was a do or die affair for me in the moment. Be detected and die. Suddenly I heard a twig snap nearby."You think you can hide from me??" Her voice rang out in echoes through the night.My heart raced in fear, my breathing more rapid as I frantically looked around to figure out where her voice was coming from. The twig snapped again and without thinking twice, I ran. I ran as fast as I could for dear life. The extra footsteps I heard indicated that she was on my tail.I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, lookin

ZaraIt was Monday morning. I was feeling so refreshed and relaxed from me and Tanna's spa visit on Sunday as I walked into the kitchen to get some coffee because I was feeling very dreary and I needed to look sharp for work. Walking in, I saw Louis making already brewing coffee. I smirked as I walked up behind him and gave him a hug which startled him."Oh my gosh Zara!!" Louis exclaimed while laughing."Good Morning" i chirped as I pulled away while he turned around to face me. I hadn't seen him the whole day on Sunday because he was at the hotel and then spent the evening with Aminu, Tayo and Lanre. He probably came back while we were asleep because I didn't know he was at home.He turned around to face me "Morning Zara"I plopped myself onto the kitchen island as I usually did and smiled at Louis "when did you sneak back in?" I said putting a gummy bear in my mouth. Louis got

Zara The motion sensored entrance to my office building opened and I walked out to see Aminu looking so handsome standing there in front of his Bentley. I was in awe of how handsome he looked. He looked dapper in his blue two piece senator ensemble with a black hat that looked like something from Louis' wardrobe.As soon as he set his eyes on me, his face lit up and he grinned, showcasing his perfect pearly white dentition. The perfectness of this man."Hey baby, you look so gorgeous today." He said, still grinning. I blushed at his words. I didn't think I was going to see him today so I didn't even put much effort in my get up today but he still liked it. Oh well.I got to where he was standing with a grin on my face. He immediately wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me. "I missed you baby" he breathed out."I missed you too" I said, pulling away. He pl

AminuHer scream of joy brought happiness to my heart. I chuckled at how cute she looked when she saw the visa and the new passport I had gotten her. I was sure her mind was blown when she saw my plane."Oh My Goddddd" she exclaimed with her hands over her mouth.She looked at me who was just happily watching her "Aminu Garba you are such a criminal." She said which just brought on more laughter from me."You like" I asked her, waiting for her over the top answer."Like, I freaking love!!! Oh but where are we going?" She said with a high pitched voice I never knew she had."Open the visa" I told her and she eagerly did so. I had three visas for her but I gave her just one first. On our first date, she said she dreamed of one day going to..."The united states?" She yelled. She immediately threw her hands around me and hugged

Aminu. Previously... "Ma'am this is from Mr Garba" he said and gave me a card. "What's that?" Tanna asked. I opened it and smiled "aww it's a note" "Aww. Read it out" she said. So curious for gossip. I giggled. "To my Angel Wife, I remember the day we met. It was then that I knew that I wouldn't let you slip through my fingers. At first sight I knew that you were the one for me. I didn't care about anything else other than being with you from that moment. I just knew I wanted to see you happy. The love I feel for you is strong and eternal. My Queen, you are the light in my life, the air in my lungs. You give me purpose in every way and I am so happy you agreed to be with me forever. Your aura has consumed me and I want to bask in the light that you give for the rest of eternity. Today, we seal the deal and I just wanted to s

Zara Previously... "Sorry ma'am I didn't wasn't to keep you waiting so I had to let you in before they were done." Atafo apologised. "There's no need to apologise. I don't mind" I shrugged. Tanna who had been silent all along tapped me pointing at an armless gown she seemed to like. "That's a really cool design." Tanna said. "Feel free to move around and choose. I'll be waiting for what you decide. You can also have this notepad to write down your thoughts." He said and gave us a notepad. We began our search. The gowns on display were all breathtakingly gorgeous. I was so shook at what Atafo could actually do with those hands of his. I Was already imagining what my wedding dress would look like. "So do you have anything in mind?" Tanna asked me. "Yeah I have an idea of what I want. I want an armless dr

Zara Previously... "Do you miss Greece? We could go back soon if you want." He said taking my hand across the table. "Yeah but we will plan it this time Mimi. No surprises." I warned and he sat up, putting his hand on his chest. "Promise ma'am" he said. "Good. So what are we eating, I'm hungry." I said and took the menu. The dinner date was really fun. We had laughs and talked about everything. Also gossiped about a few of our friends. We basically dissected everything while violating table manners. But we didn't care. Once we were done with our three course meal of exquisite delicacies, as of on cue, music started to play. One of my favorite songs at the moment. Odo by Johnny Drille. "Can I have this dance ma cherie" Aminu held his hand out smiling while I laughed at something he had said earlier.

Zara. Previously... When the police man had chained him to the table and left, Patrick started laughing. "What's funny" I said frowning. "You know, I never ever thought that I would ever see you again in my life" Patrick said, still chuckling. "Well, one last time wouldn't hurt. I used to consider you my friend." I said and folded my arms. "I used to be in love with you you know. Or should I say, infatuated." Patrick said and chuckled. It seemed as though he was finding himself amusing. "I know that" I said. I surprising was not feeling any emotions right now towards him. Everything was well and okay. He didn't disgust me the way Jasmine seemed to. "Yeah and you know I didn't intend to shoot you. I'm really sorry." He said. "I just hope you don't hate me" "I don't Patrick. Have y

Zara Previously... The judge was rested back in his chair, but his face held shock and fear. Probably fear for knowing someone like Jasmine. Aminu who was sat beside me had become furious again and I stroked his arm to calm him which he was responding to well. The silence in the room was deafening for a few seconds before the judge finally spoke again. "Wow, officers, I don't know what you people are waiting for. Cuff her immediately." He said with venom in his voice. The policemen who were stationed in the courtroom went forward and cuf

Zara Previously... Your honor, my client is not guilty of the allegations on him. First of all, this child is legally his son which means he had all the right to have the boy in his custody however, the way it is being narrated is not how it happened. My client went to the Plaintiff's apartment which in his magnanimity he had given her, only to realize that she had run away from the house along with all her belongings leaving just the boy, the nanny and a letter confessing all her crimes against Mr Garba here. My client having a good heart, took the boy into his home even after finding out that the boy is not his. So your honor, this whole case is a lie and shouldn't even have been a case in the first place." My lawyer said and sat down. "Objection my Lord! There is no evidence to back his claim" Jasmine's attorney said.

Aminu. Previously... Almost a week had passed and it was finally the day that we would stand trial with the arbitrator. Aminu had pushed for it because he didn't want the stupid case to taint his brand which was the wise thing to do. The arbitrator would essentially keep everything on a low and not attract press to it. Or so I thought. I hadn't spoken to Aminu even after Tanna's intervention. Now I was ready and I was going to surprise him at the arbitrator's office. There was no way I would leave him to do this alone. I didn't tell Louis because his big mouth would tell Aminu in a heart beat. On getting to the venue for the trial, contrary to my belief, there was a swarm of press people with microphones and cameras at the doors to the building. What the hell? Who told them where it would be. I decided to hide and slip in undetected. I met a secur

Zara. Previously... "Yeah I get it. It's very nice of her though" I said and sighed, rubbing my eyes. "I really miss Zara. And Nas has been crying, he wants to see her. I'm always scared of going home to him because he'll start hounding me with questions and crying again." I said rubbing my face in frustration thinking about how sad Nasir was that Zara wasn't there. "Did he do that when he was brought to your house in the first place. Like did he cry about Jasmine?" Louis with his nosiness asked. "Not at all. It was like he didn't know the difference. Nasir for her was always a tool to use to get what she wanted so I believe they didn't have much of a relationship with each other." I said and sipped my usual glass of whiskey. "Don't worry, she'll come around" he said and his eye twitched. That was something I learnt over the years to look out for if Louis

Aminu. Previously... "Both you and Jasmine will rot in prison, I will make sure of that" I said, gritting my teeth. Anger rose in me and I had to fight of the urge to get my hands around his throat and kill him there and then. But then I had to allow the law take its course and Zara.. she wouldn't be happy with my line of action. "I've accepted my fate brother. I wish I did things better. I probably would get a life sentence or worse, be executed which I'll prefer because a life sentence is a fate worse than death. I have never asked you for anything before but I will do it now because this is a mutual need. Make sure Jasmine goes to jail or dies. That is my only wish." He said this time looking me in the eye. "That's easy. And for what it's worse. If you hadn't betrayed me and had told me about the fact that we were brothers from the onset, I would have accepted you with all the joy in the w
