Chapter 057|Killing Taiwo"You shouldn't bother about Chucks or dwell on his words, Sir. He has been acting up for a while now and has been unusually cranky of late." She didn't say a word for a while. He turned to leave. "What do you think, Sir Kehinde? Do you also think he is right? Perhaps my association with the outside world have changed my perception way too much and by relation, me?" He turned to meet her gaze, a polite smile on his face. "Sir__" She held his hand. "Don't regard me as the leader of this outfit but the mere child you had told Young with a hushed whisper when I first arrived here he was so fucked for being handed a child yet you had helped in raising that child proving you're also fucked by extension. Tell me the truth. Do you think I have changed?" He gazed at her for a while then smiled reminiscing old memories and how it felt just like yesterday she had stepped into this house, scared, sad and feeling like a pale pastel coloured couch am

Chapter 058|Now she was going to dream"Room service." She knocked on the door once wearing what she hoped on her face was a sultry smile. "I am coming." The door opened seconds later and she dropped her robe. "Room service." The look he gave her instead of making her feel powerful, Dangerous only irritated her, her body crawling as his eyes raked her almost naked body. She knew whose hands her body wanted, whose heated gaze made her core throb. "I love you." She remembered his words. Then she was slamming the door against the man's face leaving him astounded, she was rushing out of the suite, fumbling with her phone as she did the one thing Young had always asked her to do when it got too much. She retreated. Fucking backed down and worse? She didn't deliberate on the thought that it was the first time she was leaving a mark behind her still breathing but instead all she could think of was the man who she had left after he had bared his heart out to her. Because

Chapter 059|You're late"Jasmine, you are making a terrible mistake, hope you know that?" She raised her brow at him, "Because I retreated when the assignment before me got too tasking?" "Fuck the assignment! You know, I know this has everything to do with that good looking oh smug proud Governor of yours, who was supposed to be just a mark!" She stood up, now ready to have a conversation with him since he had finally gotten his preamble done and was stating why he had come. "This is all you have dreamed of for years Jasmine," he said throwing his hand up in the air wildly. "To command respect from everybody here, to have men waiting just to hear your next words of instruction, to be one of the greatest leaders the Native has ever known? What happened to making Young proud and your grandfather? This is their legacy Jasmine and you are growing to throw it all away for a man, with his own fair share of demons and ruins?" "This was my dream because that was all I was al

Chapter 060|Without herThen he turned and she was diving into his arm regardless, just realizing how much she needed his touch, how much just looking at him without touching him, making sure it wasn't one of her pathetic hallucinations, gnawed at her. He took a sharp intake of breath, caught off guard by the embrace then slowly he was hugging her back, his tensed body relaxing, done trying to act unaffected when he was pathetically gone. "I have missed you," he gruffly admitted, his arms still wounded around her waist securing her in his embrace. The sleeping bags underneath her eyes, the way her eyes met his with unshed tears, her arms cradling his face as she inhaled sharply shaken by just how much he meant to her was her reply. Someone bumped against them, there were mango peel litters right next to them with flies rummaging through them, and a child was crying at a distance but none of that mattered, everything and anything fade away until it was only the both of them

Chapter 061|Revenge enoughHe stopped abruptly in his tracks, unable to take a step further not knowing how to anyway. "I am Young's successor," she continued, her words rushed and her voice raspy. "This was never meant to happen, the plan was just to make you feel the same pain I felt when you snatched my only...." She trailed off as he turned. Millions of times she had spectaculated this particular moment, at first with a devilish Glee of feeding off the triumph of knowing she had broken him and then of recent with horror. She had drawn different ridiculous instances in her head of how he will react but never in her imagination did she think, she will see a tear roll down the cheeks of Taiwo. Ever. The disgust in his black orbs she could handle, the anger just made it easier for her to walk away but the pain, the agony, the anguish made her realize that even before he asked, her soul was already his. Because every ounce of pain he felt, washed over her and at that moment no

Chapter 062|Nothing else made senseThe doctor came out from the theatre room, his scrubs lapel dangling in front of him. Chucks who was closer to the entrance was already diving toward him. "How was the surgery?" He asked frantically, while they just held their breath waiting for his verdict. He beamed. "She is out of danger, any seconds after when she was brought would have made her condition critical," Taiwo was to thank for that and they knew. After Jasmine had gone unconscious, berserk didn't even begin to cover how he had felt. Keeping up with him had been almost impossible. Taiwo couldn't believe the panic he had felt when she had closed her eyes, how willing he was at that moment to do everything he could to see her alive. Yes she had taken a bullet for him and Just that thought made him shudder, why will she do something so stupid? But what he felt, when she had stopped moving? It was almost like it was Bankole's death happening once again, but this

Chapter 063|Sensible people don't take other people's bulletsShe was about to throw a tantrum, a fit demanding to be sent home right at that moment, then give them an earful later for even allowing her to be admitted into a place everyone in the team knew she abhorred. Hospitals with their peculiar scent of disinfectants that made her nauseous reminded her of death and death well, reminded her of loss. And that was one word she was trying to learn how to deal with, right. She was stopped from her real mature plan of starting a ruckus by throwing things around when she remembered the events that had led her to the hospital. Taiwo knows. He hates her. Then the images came flashing sharply through her mind, so vividly with its HD lightning and decent visuals. She remembered the panic in her eyes when she had seen the light on his body and even at that moment she knew that her life will be a pile of debris and dirt since she will never be able to live with herself knowing

Chapter 064|Go get your GovernorSome people just never change. But she didn't want him to. She wanted all of him, his imperfections, inability to use words to properly explain how he feel, his dark dark past, his dangerous present and everything his future will bring. Everything and now she was more than determined to find out if he feels the same way. "You stayed," she voiced out, at a loss of what else to say as the tears she was too tired to hold came gliding down her cheeks. "You are here with me." He shrugged, "You took a damn bullet for me, it was the most human thing to do." She felt the first pang of despair. "Are you here because you felt obligated, guilty?" The legendary stacked cards came to her mind. He stood up. "I would have been in the hospital if a random person had gotten into trouble because of me." His words were enough to push just one card while she sucked in a breath, not believing he could easily revert to being so formal, so cold towards her

Lipsticks and guns (Book 1 in the lipstick series) Chapter 072|Goodbye
Chapter 072|GoodbyeJasmine smiled uneasily at the unfamiliar faces she met in what looked like a frat-house dormitory, who looked nothing like normal school children if their moustache was anything to go by. Deciding not to raise alarm until she has confirmed Chucks was fine and well, she followed one of the acne faced teenagers that had found her at the gate of the boarding school, confused and worried as to why the school administration denied being aware of anybody like Chucks in their school, and had told her he knew where Chucks was while making a mental note to hit her speed dial and call on one of her security guards if she suspected any foul play.She cringed at the torn dirty curtain while clutching her purse closer to her as she stepped into the dimly-lit sitting room.She all but leapt to where Chucks sat, her face glowing with pure joy but stopped when she got to where he was.“What are you doing here?” she narrowed her gaze at Kehinde who just walked into the room and th

"Be careful of what you choose to tell me, Taiwo else I promise you I would blow my brains right away and you'll have to live with the guilt that you're the reason why I'm dead." "Why are you doing this, Jasmine?" "Because you won't tell me the truth if I don't so the clock is ticking, Taiwo. Did you know?" Both their gaze clashed in the room as she placed her finger threateningly on the trigger. 5 days ago Jasmine smiled as Taiwo held onto her even with his eyes closed as she tried to slip out of his bed. “Stay,” he huskily mumbled into her ear making her groan as she wondered how a girl was supposed to say no to such a sexy throaty bedroom voice that turned her brains to mush. “You don’t play fair,” she complained pouting even as his arms wound around her waist and lined her back against his groin so she felt his erection and moaned. “And so tempting but sadly I would have

Chapter 070|Home to her "Love is knowing that the person you have that feeling for just might not be perfect, learning the ugly, the messy, the heartbreaking, the scandalous and still not able to feel differently about that same person." Her breath hitched as she told herself again and again not to have hope, not to get all excited. Not to think he was talking about her, them. "The picture of the butterfly, I can't look at it now without remembering your own crazy interpretation. It hurts so much." Her eyes met his. "So you brought it down?" She asked because that was the right, sanest thing to do unlike her who had made an unhealthy habit of strolling around Surulere like a psycho, her legs digging into the mud and her eyes welling with tears. "Yes, I removed it off the wall." Then he stood up, watching her expression as he walked towards her while she just stared. "I took it upstairs, just opposite my bed, so it was the first thing I saw when I woke up and the last when

"How are you doing?" Jasmine smiled a bit as she walked out of the threshold allowing him to walk in. "Good." He held her hand and she shrugged it off. "You have 5 minutes to say whatever you have to say. Like I told you before we have nothing to talk about but if you must take my time and yours make it snappy." He nodded and realising how easily he had made everything intense, he looked away, his eyes now on the wallpaper She wanted to kiss the frown off his face, take off his jacket and tell him just how much she missed with and how surreal it feels to have him in her house, with her but she didn't. She just stared coldly at him, taking a seat adjacent to his thankfully for once sticking to her rationality and not getting her hopes up. For all she knew, he just

"Nothing feels the same without you anymore." "This is the best decision for everyone, trust me." "Is it? The team is moving, I mean the only home you truly know, your memories with Sir Young resides there, your short but helluva impressive speeches were made in the courtyard of those homes and everything you truly hold dear is in there and I'm being whisked off to a boarding school? And you think that is the best thing?" "Sir Young would always say that home is not a place but in here," she touched the right side of her chest. "That's why wherever you go and whatever you do, it doesn't change how and what I think of you. You'll always be home to me, I'll choose you again and again and again if need be because that's what family would do." "Do you think Sir Young would have approved if he was alive?" "He w

You can't do that for her, she has to make that decision herself besides don't be too sure you still have a woman waiting for you to come to your senses at whatever pace convenient to you." He shook his head amused. "Besides even if she wants to leave all she has known all her life because of you, your track record of being an ass only makes her truly foolish at decision making just like you. Of all the girls in the world Taiwo, you just had to fall for the leader of an outfit. Classical." And then he was walking out leaving Taiwo behind with a goofy grin that soon transformed into a panic-stricken one as he immediately reach for his phone.***She flipped through the tabloids she had bought down the road against her better judgement, Taiwo's picture splashed on the front cover the only thing she cared

Going to work every day was tough enough, just gaping at Jasmine's cubicle which was still untouched like a total loser and taking it out on his assistants and work made him completely drained, angry and tired? He didn't want to deal with discussing her, he didn't want to open his mouth and say her name because then the pain in his heart would feel real, and with reality comes fear. He was stricken with fright that he just might never be able to hear that name again without feeling his insides squeezing. "Last I heard about her, she was fine." He managed to say in a tone that suggested he was both uninterested and not willing to discuss Jasmine. "Why have you only been hearing about her and not from her?" He scoffed, giving Bayo a disbelieving glare and sighing, he walks to

He ordered, opening her bag and placing a filled leaflet of a chequebook to her and stands up expecting her to hurriedly leave but he was taken aback by her voice. "Why?" None of them ever speak to him. Ever. It was precise and spelt out. Sex. Money. Nothing in-between. And he regretted not sticking to that routine with Jasmine, no he should have not neglected his instinct and would have stayed the heck away from her and now, he was suffering the consequences with this insufferable ache around his chest he couldn't shake off regardless of how hard he tried, the reason why he couldn't be with any woman, why he went to work and found himself gazing at her empty cubicle not knowing two things if he'll ever get rid of the feeling of expecting her to be there magically raising her brow at him because he was staring like nothing had happened, a sassy s
