ETTIQUETTE

My mom think l agreed because I want to win the election but that's not it, I did it because I want to get back to Lara.

After a while of discussion with my parents, I entered into my car and my covoys follows me, I was thinking all through.

When we got home, I told my PA to make an arrangement for an etiquette teacher and I also told him he can takes his leave once the etiquette teacher arrives.

"when the etiquette teacher arrive, you can go home and set up a meeting for

tomorrow with the security agencies, I needed them help me find out how everything happened today" I said.

"Yes sir he replied while I climbed up the stairs and I head to my room, I was about going into my room when I stopped

and I go to open the door to the guest room where Shade was thrown into she was sleeping peacefully, she wasn't worried, I lock the door again and went back to my room undress, took my bath and even sat took some few

appreciation call from party members, I reflect on how that day has been a very bad day, all of this took me about an hour and I thought of going back to interrogate this girl guess what she was still sleeping when l open the door, I sat down for about another ten minutes watching her imagining how she will even fit into the shoes of being my wife.

She is a high school dropout though she

speaks a good English but she still mix up

tenses.

She turns to the other side of the bed and she lifts her head, I thought she had woken up only for me to see that she wanted to sleep again I was surprised that she could sleep peacefully under this whole tension around here and I smile because she is just too funny, our sex tape is out there, I

brought her into my house to be interrogated only for her to be sleeping and enjoying her sleep.

She turn to the other side and she lay her head back to sleep and I said "Sleeping in trouble, you must be enjoying that bed" I said and she quickly sits up and as she looks up that our eyes met she quicky look down and I stare at her sitting on the bed.

I locked you up here for interrogatlon only for you to be sleeping comfortable in the bed' I said.

I am sorry" she apologised and I just hissed.

"You won, you got what you wanted but you know what, Welcome to hell" I said and stood up from the couch and I heard

her say "l swear, I didn't do it " as I got to the doorpost and I paused and looked back she still has her head down and I hissed and just slam the door so hard.

walked to my my study thinking back to all l

that has happened to me in a single day and I couldn't even do anything on my laptop, I had my campaign posters littered around on my desk.

I also have some reports to look into but I just couldn't focus, with the sex tape still flashing back into my memory, how I went hard on that girl and my heartbreak from Lara .

I never expected a worse day like today.

I walk to the window staring into the blank space then my phone rang and it

was my mom, I picked the call.

"Hello son, I want to call the etiquette training company to come and give Shade etiquette training, what do you think?

"Don't bother mom, my PA is already working on it," I said , the etiquette trainer will be here anytime from now and I have also order my PA to get a styllst and Make up artlst that will be assign to her I said.

"Alright that's very nice" My mom says then I saw a car drove into the compound that's my PA and the Ettiquette trainer I guess.

Few minutes later I heard a knock on my study door. "Come in" I said, with my hands inside my pocket and I turn back from the window and I face the door and my PA turned to me and bows to greet me.

"Sir, the etiquette trainer is here sir" he says.

"Okay, I will join you soon "I said and I turn

back to the window, I closed my eyes and I

sigh deeply and the image of me peeping into Lara's Apartment came flashing in my brain and a tear almost escaped my eyes but I quickly dry my tears with my fingers and I strode out of my office and walk to the stairs and I stood on the top of the stairs, I feel tired to even climb down the stairs because of everything happening around me , I climb down the stairs and the lady who had come to train Shade on the Ettiquette stood up as I climbed down the last stair that led to where she was standing.

"Good day sir She greets standing straight

and smiling at me and I gave her faint smile

and I stretch my palms to shake her and she also accepts my handshake and I stretch my hand to motion to her to sits and she sits and I also sit on the single couch.

"About the etiquette sir, we would like to meet with who is having the etiquette and some things will be provided to us

for us to train her properly and.. Don't worry explain to Mr. Bassey here, he is my PA, he is in charge and you can just discuss with him and he will give me the details of everything" I said caressing my forehead and I stood up.

"Bassey, get all the list from her and let me

know the price" I said and walk back to the

stairs and I return to my office.

Sade's POV.

I was really enjoying my sleep, l enjoy the bed so much, I haven't sleep on such bed before, when I lived with my parents I and my siblings will always spread mat on the floor to sleep while when I lived with my uncles and aunties, I sleep on the mat and when I worked for grandma, I sleep on a small flat mattress in my room and since I took up the job of the two maids that left since Grandma died, I share mattress in fact my bedmate is a big woman while I am also chubby and she would push me

aside and I will only have a small place to sleep but here as a prisoner, I can roll around and the bed is so comfy, I blame the bed for letting me sleep that long and Kunle was also the cause he imprisoned me in such a comfy place, who

puts a prisoner in a comfy place in his house, when the security was ordered to lock me up I thought it would be a dungeon or something but it's somewhere I never thought would be this cozy.

The room looks like a suite on it's own,

beautiful wall paintings, a dinning for two, a T.V set and luxury bathroom and a nice bed, he even told the maid to always serve me whenever the food is cooked and he

complains of me sleeping. When grandma was alive she know I don't joke with my nap and since grandma died I haven't been able to have those treatments and now that it's just me inside this place he expects me to sit with the Air conditioner on.

When he entered into my room, he was complaining that I am sleeping but it's not my fault that I fell asleep.

I never knew I slept that deep until I heard him said " Sleeping in trouble" that I quickly sit up.

I wanted to look at him but I couldn't even stare into his face but I still steal a look at him anyways, God! He looked like a Greek god in his fitted armless T- shirt and he was wearing a three quarter short and he look like those handsome NBA players.

I wish I could stare at those his abs but

because I was scared to look into his face, I

just looked down and was trying to tell him I didn't made the video of us only for him to say "you won, you got what you wanted"

What if l say I have no idea of what was really going on, what does he mean by I got what I want? Welcome to hell? I kept thinking about it, I was lost in thought and I began to think maybe my torture will soon begin and my stupid imagination of being flogged and being tied and beaten began to play in my head.

Tears began to roll down my face, I began to cry and I began to blame my mom and dad for bringing me to this world, I began to ask God to take me, l just couldn't think right.

"Why did you bring me to this world mom?! I said while crying.

"You should have left me with God since I was going to be unfortunate on earth" I said

I was still weeping when I heard a knock on my door.

I stood up in fear and begin to speak to myself.

" I am finish, they want to torture me, I walk towards the bathroom and the door opened and it was a Mariam.

" Ma'am your attention is needed downstairs" Mariam said.

" Excuse me? I said in surprise because she address me as ma'am.

" Yes ma'am, the boss ask you to come downstairs.

Hearing boss ask me to come downstairs, tears began to dripped down my face because I was scared my torture was going to begin soon.

" Please don't let me go downstairs, maybe you should tell him I am not here" I said.

" I am sorry ma'am, I cannot do that, it's against my job" she says.

" I swear, I didn't do it, I......." and she cuts in.

" I am only following orders" she says.

I nod my head and my tears began to drip down uncontrollably, I quickly dried up my tears and followed Mariam.
