~Third Person's POV ~“How was he?" Kemi asks.George sighs without saying anything for a while. It's as if he's hesitating if to say it or not. "He was actually the sweetest person you could ever meet. He..." He sighs. "He was really kind, he liked to play and tease people a lot." He smiles as he speaks.Kemi listens to him keenly.He continues, “I can vividly remember when I was bullied in school, you have no idea what he did to my bullies." He says laughing lightly.Kemi tilts her head, “What did he do?”“We were very young then and my bullies were thrice our age..." He turns to her. "He made them drink their own urine in front of the whole classroom."Kemi cringes her nose, "What? Oh my God he did not!"She laughs.George nods, “Yes, I don't know how he made them do it but they never bullied me again. He used to be very caring and loving, really. Always cheerful.We were the best of friends then. Me, Erica,the underboss and Ella."“I know Erica should be the badass, but who's Ella?”
~Kemi's POV~The first person I see make my eyes grow wide. It's the same man from the auction, that Alhaji Bawa, and he's smiling at me like I'm a snack he has been waiting to devour.The underboss is standing beside him with his usual bored expression.I slowly walk closer and bow my head but before I can walk away, the underboss holds my wrist stopping me. I turn to him in puzzle.“Someone is here for you. Why don't you say hi to him?” He grins at me.Fear runs through my spine as I stare at the man, Alhaji Bawa, whose agbada is whiter than one's teeth. The Alhaji moves close to me and suddenly place his hand on my shoulder making me flinch. He lifts my chin up to face him.“Don't worry angel, I will take good care of you." The Alhaji says with a smile.I can't believe that this man who's old enough to be my father is thinking of taking me away. I move my head away from his hold and turns to the underboss.“I'm...I'm confused..." I breathe out.The undernoss dips his hands into his
WARNING;VIOLENCE/ABUSE SCENE.~Third person's POV~Kemi pulls the handle of the door with all the energy she could muster but it wouldn't open. She panics as she bangs on the door shouting at the top of her voice. Suddenly, she feels his hand pull her hair back. She winces in pain as she tries to pull away but she loses her balance and falls to the floor. He forces her to look at him while gripping her hair tightly. She winces as she holds his hands trying to pull his hand away from her hair."You're one stubborn b**ch!..." He slaps her hard making her fall backwards. She spits out blood from her mouth and before she could recompose herself, he grips her by the neck."If you try me, walai.." He glares at her as he tightens his hand around her neck. "I will kill you." He pushes her head backwards before dragging her by the wrist to the bed."Climb on, fast!" He yells at her hitting her with the whip.She winces hard as she cries but still didn't climb on to the bed. She sits beside it
Kemi's POV*I squint my eyes open and move my eyes around the room wondering where l am. I remember having being hit by a car. So I didn't die? What happened after then? And what about those men and their dogs? My eyes widen as fear creeps through me. Am I back to his cabin ? Oh God! I try to sit up but something keeps obstructing me and when I look down at my hand,I see a cannula fixed and then I feel a sharp pain in my stomach making me wince hard in pain. My head is throbbing and I place my hand over my forehead only to touch a something wrapped around my head. It feels like gauze. I look around with a confused expression.The room almost looks like an hospital room but at the same time doesn't, or am I in the hospital? Oh Jesus! Who will answer my questions?Just as I try to get out of the bed, the door slides open and someone walks in. When I take a clearer look at who it is, my eyes grow wide in disbelief. Am I seeing properly? How is it possible that the consigliere is here?I

Shola scolds him with a frown on her face.Kemi smiles before she squirts before Ayo. "My darling, my friend doesn't like to be disturbed."Ayo pouts, "I simply want to ask him why he took you away, that's all." "kini isoro re? (What is your problem?)" Omolara glares at him as she places her hands on her waist. "What are you going there for? My friend, will you get inside?" She yells at him.Ayo bends his head to the side as he continues to pout his lips. And just when they all think he would listen, he starts running over to where the car is parked."mo wa ninu wahala o!

And there's something else..." He looks at Lexis.Lexis tilts his head,"What is it father?""There would be lots of people there and even most influential friends so l don't want you to appear there without a girl or a fiancée."Lexis' fake smile fades and he looks away. "Please don't tell me to bring that Rahila girl. I don't even know her." He said already knowing what his father is going to say."That's what I'm saying. I hear she's back in Nigeria, so go find her and you can get to know each other. Have you even seen her?"Lexis sighs, "I told you I'm not interested in anything that concerns Alhaji Bawa."Richard shakes his head, "I have told you, Lexis. Invite h

Then she pauses when she sees him walking over to one of the tables close to the front stage.

"Yes, Erica?""There's something I have been wanting to discuss with you." She says walking closer to him.He tilts his head, "What could that be?"She heaves a sigh before she starts speaking. "I know I'm not in the right position to say this but I... I have to.""Go ahead with what you want to say, Erica. I'm not going to murder you or anything."She sighs again, "If you knew from the start that the consigliere brought in Kemi to use her as a spy against you, why didn’t you do anything?”Lexis doesn’t say anything in return but only stares at her because he knows that she’s not done yet.“I really cannot understand what you're trying to do, underboss. You knew from the start that the consigliere brought in Kemi just to use her against you but you still did not do anything and
"You don't have to kill him.""And why shouldn't l?"William sighs before letting go of his hand. "Just let the man go, Lexis."Lexis frowned deeper. "And I f**king asked you why l should.”"Haven't you had your fun? Wasn't it fun enough for you when you made a fool out of him?"Lexis scoffs, "What are you playing at? Why are you suddenly trying to act as a hero?" He shakes his head. "You're so pathetic."William bits his bottom as he clenches his fist trying his best to keep cool. "I will handle it, just... “He sighs."-Just spare him."Lexis cracks the gun again and places it against Peter's head while smiling at William. Peter trembles on his kneels as he feels the cold metal against his skin."Give me a reason why l shouldn't kill him William? He owes me and I don't let my debtors live.""I will pay you the money."

You don't have other things? Rubbish!" The girl continues to challenge them standing beside her mother and Lexis couldn't help but find her more intriguing.The guy drags her hand off his shirt and pushes her to the ground while another guy grips her arm tightly and drags her up.Lexis watches the scene with a conclusion that the girl is done for seeing that the boys look raz and wouldn't hesitate to beat her up but to his surprise, the girl kicks the guy on his d**k causing him to scream loudly from the pain."I will feed your 'tiny friends' " She says referring to their 'd**ks "-To the birds in the sky if you don't leave us alone."

Third Person POV*" 'Madam how much last? You no sell for 200 naira?' That's how my mummy always bargained with the market women. Something which was originally 1000 naira, my mummy would price it down to that price.." Kemi continues to explain.He chuckles loudly as he rests his head against the seat and she chuckles along with him while watching him laugh. It's actually the first time she's seeing him laugh like this and it really feels nice."Wait, how would your mother price it down to such a low amount?" He continues laughing as he asks."That woman.." Kemi starts saying referring to her mother. "-she can price down anything. And most times, she ended up leaving both I and the market woman speechless. The poor market woman would just tell her with sarcasm, 'madam you for just take am for 20 naira na, since na me and you go market.' "He starts laughing again with his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe what she just said. He actually finds it very hilarious and can't help b
"I'm sorry about that." I feel the urge to ask him if it's about the company or the mafia business but I just sigh and conclude on own, that it could be both."This is so nice..." He mutters as he shuts his eyes."Let's stay like this for a while." He clutches my hand with his own while keeping his head in the crook of my neck.I smile fidgeting with my fingers as I breathe out."You are nervous." He says suddenly with his eyes still shut.My eyes grow wide and l look away."I'm not." I deny."Yes you are." He presses on.I turn to him again, "I'm not." I deny further. Is it that obvious that I'm nervous? And why am l even nervous? Oh God! It's not like this is the first time we are spending time together. Is it because there's so many things on my mind today?"You are and that's why you have been fidgeting with your fingers."I look down at my fingers and yes, I have indeed been doing that. Did he take notice of that? Was it that obvious?I tend to fidget with my fingers when I'm eith
Kemi's POV*I have to make food for Mrs. Patricia since it's almost time for her dinner. I open the fridge to get some groceries but there's nothing much left."There are no more groceries." I hear a voice say behind me and I turn around to see the girl I assisted the other day, Sofia, standing close to the kitchen's entrance.She smiles at me as she walks into the kitchen."Hello there again." She waves at me.I smile at her before closing the fridge. "I didn't know there's no groceries again. When would it be restocked?" I ask her."You should go to the grocery stores to get them. You can just get for the entire house as well." She stretches out a paper to me.Wait, what? The entire house?Why do I feel like this girl is giving me all her duties? The last time, she asked me to do the bed sheets and now she's asking me to get groceries for the entire house."For the entire house?" I ask her again with wide eyes.She nods, "Yes, since you are going to the grocery stores." She shrugs.
WARNING: Violent scene......*Flashback continues.*FEW DAYS LATER.“I want her." Richard says firmly.“But she's your brother's girlfriend, boss and besides, she's from a poor background, she would be of no use to you." His consigliere tries to advice him.Richard glares at him, “Do I look like I care? Find her and bring her and bring her to me. I believe that won't be a problem since you already know she's from a poor background."“You only even met her yesterday at the party. I don't think this is a good idea."“And what would he do to stop me? I want her and she would be mine. Do you know where she stays?"His consigliere pauses for a moment before he answers, "She stays at Ajegunle with her mother.""Good. Go and get her and bring her to me, at once!"His consigliere sighs and nods his head, saying nothing else.In less than a day, Serena is brought over to his mansion or rather you could say she is dragged to the mansion since her eyes are in binds and she's carried forcefully t
These brothers are both monsters. One kills and the other pushes you to get killed.' Michael says in thought as he stares at William with his eyes becoming red with unshed tears.On the same day Lexis and William bought the guns from Jacques, Michael secretly bought some muskets and handguns but it's from an outsider who is not related to their mafia business. His intention was to sell the guns in secret and make profit without the boss or anyone finding out.In the Lawal mafia family, only the boss or underboss have the right to get the weapons or any other person they appoint. Any other person doing it without permission from the boss or underboss; for instance, a capo or worse, an associate, will be killed. This is because without proper supervision, it can cause a fall or big issue to the family if done with the wrong partner.Well, William found out what Michael did but he didn't confront him or say anything.

He uncrosses his legs before standing up from the chair and walks over to the end of the cell where Anthony is kneeling.Lexis squirts before him and forces up his chin with his index finger to face him. "You think you could get away after messing with the guns, Anthony?"Anthony spits out blood from his mouth as he breathes hard while staring at Lexis in fear. "I...I needed the money."Lexis tilts his head, "You needed the money?And you decide to move my guns?" He nods his head before standing up. "Wow, what a lame excuse."Anthony shakes his head abruptly. "Please, please.I made a mistake, give me one more chance." He pleads desperately.Lexis sighs and dips his hands into his pockets. "A mistake?.." He scoffs before adding on. "If mistakes are eas
