"Where were you?" Mika'il asked, his head deep into his hands because Zara has fueled him on their way back home. Even though he doesn't want to doubt Bushra for she's done nothing to give him the impression, Zara's words weren't exactly nice and he stopped her but it has worked nevertheless.
"You see, she said she don't want to go with us because she has other plans. It's not like this is the first time woman mingle with foreigners, it happens all the time. You might not believe me because you think your wife is always innocent but you should know that this is cheating. She didn't tell you about leaving the suite or meeting some other foreigner!" Zara kept rambling on their way home but he kept quite, he has been waiting for Bushra to call him and tell him about her leaving the house but she never did neither has

ABUJA, NIGERIA.The ride to the Masari resident was quite awkward since Zara couldn't say a thing and if she draws her into the conversation, she will just grunt or nod so Bushra stopped trying after the third attempt. She was just trying to help her calm her nerves. Yes, she hates her but she don't like seeing that type of Zara, it makes her feel like she has the upper hand. If they compete together even if it is to get Mika'il's attention, she loved that better.

ABUJA, NIGERIA."You think because you are some Major, you can make me apologize to you? Seriously?" Hanan glared at him, her arms closing themselves underneath her bosom while she made her eyes into those slits that scare away all her maids but this man merely raise a brow, like she is just a midget underneath his shoes and damn right, she feels like one too with that kind of gaze."Yes, my dear, you are going to apologize to me because I'm a major who can kill you without batting an eyelash. Don't worry about telling your daddy, I'll make sure to tell him so we can see what he can do." He threatened, his eyes staring deep into hers like he is searching for secrets but he won't se

He is partying around like he's always does, the nights eating up like it was never there to begin with.

Done with studies and all the burdens it contains, it is now time to eat up stepfather's wealth. That is what he has been meaning to do since he found himself at the man's home. What is the use of his mother giving him another father if he can't eat the man's wealth as he pleases?"Fuzail, come over here!" His friend called out from another boot by the far end of the club.

ABUJA, NIGERIA."W-what are you saying? Can you repeat that now?" Zara move closer to Mika'il and put the phone right close to his ear after listening to what the maid is talking about."Bushra murdered Hajiya in cold blood, Madam. She just started yelling for help after making everything clean while trying to act innocent. Madam, you need to tell Mika'il to come down here as soon as possible before she lead people astray. I saw her killing Hajiya myself!" The woman shrieked from the other end and Zara let out a victorious smile. That isn't what she planned but it turned out to be much greater than that.She only sent Fuzail there to give her mother in-law a warning because she didn't like how she spoke to her earlier, her pride is getting crushed all in the name of s

ABUJA, NIGERIA."How's the weather today?" Jiddah Buhari Yakasai questioned her maid, packing her hair in a ponytail while tightening the belt around her robe."The weather is chilly but not enough to make someone catch cold. We've set the mattress there and the food is about to go down." The maid said proudly as if what she is said is enough to get her more bonus this month or a medal."Okay, good work. We have only two hours left, hurry up." And Jiddah went back to work, arranging this and decorating that at the backyard while checking the pot to see what needs to be removed and whatnot. Everything needs to be perfect, that is what she keeps chiding to herself."You need to wake up now, Mika'il. Both you and your daughter are

ABUJA, NIGERIA.Mika'il hurried to the hospital following the ambulance in tow because he reached the accident late, he was asked to follow and not enter inside where they are trying to save both the baby and mother. He anxiously step on the pedal forgetting that his stepmother is inside the car with him which is weird. He's never being himself around the woman, he didn't know how to react to his father married to another woman and his mother being absent in the house. It feels different and not good kind of.When the woman heard the news, she called him out and request to be with him in this tough situation, he agreed to that and allowed her inside his car. His heart is thudding in an unexplainable way, hurting his chest in process of it. His ears hurt, as if he cannot hear anything but his heartbeat beating in the fastest rate. He is scared shitless!H

ABUJA, NIGERIA.Discreetly and inconspicuously, the woman in black coat walked around the airport with her small luggage in search of a cab in the busy streets of Abuja. Her hand is closing her stomach while the other held onto the luggage that seems to hold her life. She hailed more than three cabs already but none were willing to stop because of God knows what, she didn't give up. They didn't stop because they do not know who she is, she will give them that excuse. Her father rules the country, but she is treated like a dirt underneath their feet? Joke's on them then!When one finally stopped, she told him to drive straight to Asokoro even without the knowledge of why she wants to be there. She won't go to her father's villa for by now, he's already known what she's done and won't forgive her for steal

ABUJA, NIGERIA."I really want her with Amir. Do you notice just how happy she is now after what has happened? I have no doubt she won't go back to Mika'il." Fayha shook her head, sitting comfortably on Kauthar's bed along with Mujaheed, Mujaddad, Murad, Hanan and Kauthar herself in the Masari mansion."That's not debatable. I still want to beat him to pulp though, I'll have to." Murad cracked his fists picturing Mika'il's fresh face getting hit by him. The guy is just what he is! It doesn't mean he likes him now after finding out Zara, whom they thought is also six feet underground did it. It doesn't matter, he was the one who hurt his sister."I can't believe Ya Zara did all that and she is alive. That means she will trace Mika'il and come straight here, heavily pregnant or not."

ABUJA, NIGERIA."Why did Dad suddenly call out for emergency meeting so early in the morning? I mean, isn't his new wife taking care of him well?" Amir yawned, closing his eyes with his bulky arms to stop the sun rays from hitting his sleepy eyes. His wife just had to slide down from his body to wake up like every other day though she normally stops to do what she needs to but today, he is unattended to because 'Dad wants to see us urgently, wake up' what the heck?!"I don't know and stop talking about his wife like that, she's your stepmother. I'm going to go take a shower, bring our outfit out, please?" She made a puppy dog eyes before they moved to her daughter who stirred but didn't wake up. The lady wouldn't sleep alone that night, Bushra was really uncomfortable when she wanted her husband. S

ABUJA, NIGERIA.The father and son talked for a very long time and before they knew it, the sky is dark an ominous emitting it's rage as if knowing what is about to happen will not only shake few people but a whole lot will have to be revealed. So many underground secrets are going to be reaped no matter how much they all would want it to be a nightmare. Not everyone knows about the many secrets about to be reaped, just one person and maybe another who is now dead. The real battle of a family is about to be issued sooner rather than later."I should get your blood tested first before we proceed with telling everyone that you are alive and kicking."

The man's attention is entirely focused on what he is doing in his laptop, it doesn't annoy her anymore as she is used to it."You always want to leave home after your marriage, Fay." His words made her blush but she won't give up. She is not just going home that day because she wants to see her husband but because she is not feeling okay at all.Her stepbrother, Hammad Bamalli is the definition of hardest nut to crack.

ABUJA, NIGERIA."Why did you have to go see him without me?" Amir kvetch, his hands gliding up and down her knee to her toes as she complained about the dull ache."I had to see him before he leaves. This is a one time opportunity for him and I'm never going back to New Zealand so, I did have go." She shrugged with a cheeky smile which he could only shake his head at trying to hide his jealousy."Well, continue praising him in my presence. I also get jealous, you know." He lowered his eyes down to her feet so she won't see the possessiveness that blared in his eyes. Seriously, he's been trying to suppress his feelings since she told him about going to meet her so called foreigner. It doesn't matter whether they share the same religion or not, he does not like her with other men, periodt."Wait, raise up your head. C'mon, Amirr." She drawled, tak

ABUJA, NIGERIA."And you think I got married to you because I love you? Jokes on you, princess, you were naïve enough to fall into my trap. I married you to ruin your life!" Murad spit out those venomous words to Hanan who suddenly left the bed and stood in front of him. Her eyes are wide filled with concern, worry, disbelieve and a tinge bit of betrayal."Say what?" Her question is a bit shaky, wanting to wake up from this nightmare."You heard that alright, sweetheart. That is something you should've known from the beginning but sadly, you still fell right where I want you to." He nonchalantly meandered to the vanity table to remove his Baguette diamond pentagon cufflinks."You are joking with yourself, Murad. I've always been honest with you and th
