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 are a piece of trash! Where on earth am I going to get the money from now? Did you say you gambled it? How could you?"That angry voice belongs to my mummy, she and my daddy had been quarreling for the past two hours now and I don't think they would stop any moment soon. My daddy has once again used the money mummy had struggled to save for gambling. I don't know the full details as they won't tell me anything but I overheard her earlier saying they were supposed to use the money to pay for something, I have no idea what it is though. He must have stolen her ATM card somehow and withdrew the money again."It's not gamble honey, I invested the money, just wait for a little while, and I will really get it back, big"I sigh hearing my daddy say that, he's only making matters worse; it would be better if he doesn't say anything. I couldn't bear watching them fight any longer so l stand up to my feet to leave the sitting room. Ayomide and Shola would be back from school soon so need t
"Let...Let me go."I say trying to get out of his hold. Why does he keep grabbing my waist? I hope this isn't like one of those novels where he would ask me to sleep with him? Or...Oh Jesus, I don't even want to think about it. This is reality, he could ask me to dle instead I presume.He lets go of my waist and bursts into laughter, "I haven't even said anything and you're already looking pale." He turns serious again and dips his hands into his pocket before continuing, "You will have to come with me darling, to pay the price."Wait, what?? Come with him to where?"Please.... Please don't take our daughter, I beg of you. Take me instead, please. My mummy pleads in tears. Tears starts to form in my eyes as I watch her crawl on her kneels to where I am standing with the man."Stay where you are woman..." The man says turning to her, "Or I will kill her." He threatens. My mummy stops crawling immediately and covers her mouth with her hands as she continues crying.Different emotions run
After a while, mummy stops crying and says I should go get something to eat.I look at her reluctant to stand up but she urges me the more."Please go and eat something Kemi please.""Okay mummy." I stand up and move to the kitchen. I look around and could see that everything is still the way I have left it, that would mean that Shola and Ayo have not served their food yet.This children ehn, why haven't they eaten yet?I serve a small portion for myself and also serve in two other plates so I could give to them. I place them on a tray and walk out of the kitchen. The three of us share a room since there are only two bedrooms in the house, so they will definitely be there."Shola! Are you inside? Please open the door for me o" I say in a loud voice standing at the front of the door because I couldn't open the door considering the tray I am carrying."Okay sister!" I hear Shola's voice from inside before the door opens slightly.She pops her head out a little and looks up at me."Are yo
Throughout the entire ride, Mr. Black suit didn't say anything to me. He just keeps going through numerous papers and I'm starting to wonder what he is actually reading."Am I going to die?" I suddenly ask him and he stops what he is doing and turns to me."Don't you get chills when you say that? He asks me in bewilderment.I shrug, "Not really."He murmurs, "I see why he came for..."I couldn't get the other things he is saying and I frown. Why do this people keep leaving me in suspense?"You see why he came for what? say it audibly so I can hear you..." I fold my arms across my chest waiting for him to say something.He scoffs, "Why do you think I will do what you say?"I didn't say anything but simply sigh and look away.What was I expecting anyway?"I don't want to scare you but you have to be strong Kemi because even I have no idea what's in for you. My boss has never done something like this before."I hear him say and I turn to look at him. He sips from his drink and heave a si
~Third person POV~"Leave me! Let me go you..." William didn't let her finish before he slaps her hard on the cheek. She loses her balance and falls on the bed. She has guts and it's starting to annoy him. Angrily, he moves on top of her and starts to tear off her clothes. Since she proves to be so bold, he would see how bold she is going to be now. She still struggles with him trying to push him off and he instinctively raises his hand up to hit her again but the sound of his phone ringing tone stops him. He moves off from her, and pulls out the phone from his pocket.The name 'Capo George' displays on his screen and he slides to answer."Yes George, speak.""Consigliere, the underboss wants to see you." A male voice says from the other end of the call.He clenches his fist in anger as he hears him say that."I'm busy with something right now!""He says to come see him quickly, he's got urgent message from the boss for you."'F**king brother!' He curses under his breath and clenches
~Kemi's POV~I am still staying on the bed obediently like he had told me to. It's not like anyone is going to come to my rescue if I scream anyway. I curl myself up hugging my legs as I sit on the bed. I do not want this; I do not want to be involved in this new world where I have no idea what's to become of me. Definitely, this people are involved in criminal activities and it's dangerous.I'm so scared. What he did to me before he left still dawns on me and for a moment I thought he was going to rape me. Maybe he would have if the phone had not rang.Yes, I have never slept with anyone before and I don't want my first time to be with a total stranger. Mummy would always say that a woman's dignity comes first. She would tell me that it is better to remain a virgin than allow a man not worthy takes your virginity. Oh mummy, I wonder how she's doing and I hope things are going well at home. All I have wanted for my life is to be there for my family and have a peaceful life and nothing
I have been sitting on the I have been bed like forever waiting for the person to come get me, but no one has come. l guess that's a good thing for me, maybe they forgot about me and this is how I am going to be...The door slides open suddenly and I hear footsteps approaching. I spring up from the bed and see a dark skinned girl walking towards me. She is wearing a short black leather skirt, a vintage crop top with a black leather jacket and black ankle boots. She looks like a badass model. She must be Anna, like George said."Come with me." She says looking at me with a blank expression before turning her back to me. I nod and quickly follow her from behind as we walk out of the room. I heave a sigh of relief as we stand in front of the door, finally out of there.She turns to me, "Let's go""Where are we going?" l ask her as I walk beside her. She glares at me before turning away."Sorry." I murmured as I quietly follow her to the elevator.I get that these people are rich, but can
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.

"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
"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. His plan is to get rid of those who are against him and doesn't support
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
