Third person*“You have no idea how happy I am that you are now engaged to Rahila.” Richard says with a smile on his face as he sits opposite Lexis who only stares at him with his usual expression, as if he’s not even listening to him.“I was even shocked when you told me you were going to have party for it.”“Can you just stop talking about it?” Lexis rolls his eyes. He is already tired of his father talking about the engagement party which took place the day before. His father even went ahead to invite lots of people and it almost looked as if it was a celebrity engagement party.“I can’t stop talking about it because it’s surprising. What made you change your mind though?”Lexis sighs, “I just wanted you to get off my back.”Richard smiles, “Is that so? Alright, if you say so.”Lexis stands up to his feet, “Excuse me, I wanna go upstairs and check up on something.”Richard nods, “Alright.”Lexis starts walking away heading for Patricia’s room.Meanwhile;Kemi stands in front of the
Third person*"What happened to her?" William asks her as he places his mother's head against his chest."She...She was probably reminded about what she doesn't want to remember." Kemi answers sitting beside him."That was it? How exactly did it happen? And why?" William presses further. He knows very well that if his mother is to recall anything, it would not weigh her down like this, unless she's forced."Well..."Kemi starts to say."What happened to her? What triggered it? Tell me already!"He yells at her.She finches in shock and bit her lower lips. "Um...The underboss came here. He was the one who made her memory triggered." She explains as she fidgets with her fingers."Lexis came here? He did this?" He asks in an angry voice while looking at Kemi who keeps fidgeting with her fingers not meeting his eyes.She nods, "Yes. He kept saying 'Angie' and I think that's what triggered her memory." She slowly raises her head up to look at him. "He kept calling her by that name. Is there
Jayson arrives at the Lawal's family mansion and steps out of the car before he quickly makes his way into the mansion."Good day, Capo Jayson." A guard bows to him."Where is the boss?” Jayson asks.“He is in his study room, capo." The guard answers.Jayson nods and starts making his way up the stairs but he pauses when he sees a familiar figure climbing down from the other side of the staircase. He looks closer and his eyes grow wide when it becomes clear that it's Kemi, his ex from secondary school. He can't help but wonder why she's here.He stops climbing and walks over to the other side of the staircase where she is climbing down from.“Kemi?” He calls out as if unsure if it's really her. Kemi looks to the direction of the voice and her eyes grow wide when she sees him. She can't believe he's actually standing in front of her.“I am... I am surprised to see you here, Kemi. What are you doing here?" He asks her."I um... I work here. What are you doing here too?” She asks as she
Scene contains violence*"Please don't kill me, please don't kill me!" Blood streams down his head as he rubs his palms together kneeling in front of Lexis.Lexis curls out smoke from his mouth as he takes out the cigarette he is smoking. 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
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. His plan is to get rid of those who are against him and doesn't support
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
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.
"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
He stares at his tattoos that hide the scars in his body and he sighs. As he's about to walk away from the mirror, Erica walks into the room."Underboss."Lexis turns to her direction and pauses in his steps. "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." William says despite knowing that Lexis have actually lost no money.Lexis narrows his brows before bursting into a sudden laughter. "You will what? You act like you don
*Flashback continues.*"You are still running your mouth right? You think we cannot beat you?" Another boy yells pointing his matchet at her."Is it only cutlass(matchet) you have? 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." She threatens with boldness. The guy she has kicked in the d**k is sitting on the ground holding his 'poor friend' glaring at the girl. The others all focus their attention on
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
