“Why didn’t you fight back Ichabod?” She asked, some minutes later after the men were gone. He was now in a white shirt and they were sitting at the bar.
He shrugged. “It was pointless. I didn’t want to disrespect you and I had no interest in causing trouble. Besides, he’s just being a jealous father and he hates the fact that his reputation is at stake.” He replied.
Harmony sighed. “I am just glad that Tracy didn’t see all that happened, poor girl. She would have been so frightened.”
“How did you two meet? Was he a good guy before and then he suddenly went to the bad side?”
Harmony poured herself more drink.
“I was so young and stupid. I had just become a star and he was a popular coach. We were the Nigerian sweethearts, we were famous and everyone loved us so we dated. I thought he was a good man but when we got closer, I realized he was a selfish buffoon. I got impregnated on a careless night and he wanted me to get rid of it. I refused, I don’t have

Ichabod Chapter 30
ICHABODThat evening, they had ended up in the club.Rashidat had spoken with him over the phone some minutes ago and she said it was urgent and they needed to see. That was right, after what Odin had done the previous night. Adam had driven to Harmony’s house and from there, Ichabod had sent him the address of the club they were. Now they were on their way.Adams had been calling him and he had to rush out to pick. It was around 5 pm. “Hello Adam, where are you?”“We are outside; Rashidat will come meet you while I bring the van around.”“Okay,” he said, ending the call. Some minutes later, he saw the blue van and a lady stepped out of it, it was Rashidat. She crossed over to meet him while Adams drove ahead to turn.**Harmony sighed, checking the time. She wondered where he had run off to.“Hey, is everything okay?”She looked beside her; it was her best friend, “hey, did you see I
Ichabod Chapter 31
Harmony was confused, what was wrong with her? Why was she giving him attitude? Even if the lady was his girlfriend, she shouldn’t have a problem with that should she? Why did this man have so much influence on her emotions…? Ever since she saw him with another woman, something had gone wrong in her and she couldn’t shake off the feeling. She thought about talking to him but he stood and left, her heart sank…**Ichabod removed the ring and placed it on the table before going into the bathroom to take his bathe. His mind was on how he would manage the Monogen till the full moon. He hated Odin, he liked messing things up and he wasn’t even messing things up for him alone, he was doing it for both of them. He sighed as the cold water hit his body…now Harmony had been acting quite strange, what was her problem anyway? It had started ever since he left the club to go see Rashidat and…wait a minute, had she seen him w
Ichabod Chapter 32
When his lips brushed mine, it was like a beautiful electrocution. The kiss wasn’t teasing or passionate, it was electrocuting, setting all my entire body on flame. I couldn’t even pull away if I wanted to, no, I didn’t want to. I couldn’t think straight, all my senses have been seduced. The only things I could feel right now were the taste and the smell of him.“Denis…” he breathed my name, slowly, prolonging each letter. My heart fluttered at the seductive sound of his voice and I leaned in closer, clasping my hands on either side of his face. I have never heard my name being called so sweetly like that… He kissed me hungrily, knocking all the wind from my lungs and I returned it savagely. I felt a moan escaped my lips as he pressed his tongue to the seam of my lips, I opened wider, granting him more access. I arched up against his broad chest…I wanted all of him. I could feel moisture in between my legs and then I felt a painful scratch but I was too occupied to be distract

He watched her as she carefully applied the lipstick to her lips before proceeding to carve the eyebrows. He chuckled in the darkness and the lady turned around, a little bit frightened but she recomposed herself on seeing him.“You need to stop doing that Odin, no one wants you here,” Rashidat said as she applied the rest of her makeup.“Oh, Odin growled, “that hurt my feelings and here I thought you are looking beautiful to impress me.”Rashidat hissed, “you are such a pain in the ass.”“And you are such a naughty girl,” he said, getting closer to her and sniffing in her perfume. The lady was non-challant, she kept on doing what she was doing. Odin found her pair of earrings and handed one to her. Just as she was about to collect, he withdrew his hands.“If you are not going to help me, would you just drop my earrings for me?”Odin chuckled mischievously, “and waste all the fun?” he said and then proceeded to hook the earring to the lady’s ear.
Ichabod Chapter 34
Rashidat couldn’t believe she had almost kissed him. What the hell was that? She sighed and picked up her bag. She had a club to go to and he had delayed her enough. She turned and was headed out when she heard some noise like a man groaning.“Who is that?” She shouted, thinking it was probably Odin playing a trick on her. “Odin, I do not have time for this,” she said but was surprised as a man came crashing into the set of chairs in the passage, startling her.“Oh my God! What the hell!” she shouted but was more surprised when she saw Odin, grinning. “Odin what are you doing? Who is this man?” she asked him, looking at the man in suit who was now bleeding from the mouth and had lost consciousness.“I found him sneaking around, is he a friend of yours?” Odin asked, his eyes shimmering against the light of the yellow bulb.“No, I don’t know him,” Rashidat replied, now a bit scared as Odin was finally showing his real self. “How did you find him?”
Ichabod Chapter 35
Harmony woke up very early the next day, she had a very important shooting and she was getting dressed.It was a Saturday morning, meaning Tracy didn’t have to go to school.While she was getting dressed, she was boiling inside. Maybe the whole thing with Ichabod was a mistake. Maybe she shouldn’t have tried to kiss him when he was clearly with someone else. She was certain that the lady whom she had seen at the club the other night was Dennis. She wished she had taken a better look at her but, maybe it was for the best. Vivi had left early that morning to get ready for the scenes, now Harmony knew that Ichabod would make her late since he had apparently not come back from wherever he must have gone last night.“Take the bag into the car, I need to call Ichabod,” she said to Tanya who was behind her.She took a deep breath and then brought out her phone, she discovered she already had six missed calls from Michael. She rolled her eyes. The day was
Ichabod Chapter 36
He has been waiting in the car for some time. He needed a plan but he didn’t want Odin to mess things up for him, so he planned to do things in his own way. He checked the time, it was some minutes past 12pm, his phone rang and he picked it, it was Rashidat.“Hello,” he said quickly.“Ichabod, where are you? You need to come quickly, the man is away, we can question him, I will meet you with an umbrella, come quickly, Adam is here as well.” Then she hung up.He sighed and quickly dialed Harmony’s number, it was answered by Vivian.“Hello Sexy, “Vivi said.“Oh hi Vivi, please I need to go to somewhere really important, please can you cover for me with Harmony? She mustn’t know that I left?”“Well, I have always heard that after a fight between two lovers, the make-up sex is always great,” Vivian joked, laughing.“Please, Vivian, it’s really important.”“Ok handsome, just know you owe me. She is on set right now so, we won’t be done till
Ichabod Chapter 37
“Have you seen Ichabod?” Harmony asked Vivi who looked startled where she sat.“Jeez! Girl you scared me. Chill, he will show up soon.” She replied, chatting on her phone.Harmony frowned, “he will show up? It’s been more than four hours since I have been on set and he’s not back yet.”Vivian frowned, “come on, chill. Don’t be a stalker girlfriend please. It’s not cool. Here. Take a drink.” Vivia said offering her a cup of wine which Harmony took reluctantly. She sat on a stool next to Vi’s and watched as a new cast took over the set.“Did he tell you before he left?” she asked.“Sure, I only asked him to get something for me, he should be on his way back.”“You asked him to get you something without telling me?” she snapped.“Chill girl, its all part of your birthday surprise which you have just ruined.”Harmony calmed down, “really?”
