Iby shifted towards her on the bed and she moved backward. Her reaction shocked him.
"Who did that to you?" He asked yet again.
"Uhm. Uhm." She searched for what to say as she covered her sweater properly, hugging it to
her body as if to prevent him from opening it again. "Nobody."He creased his brows quizzically. "What do you mean by nobody?"
She said nothing trying to think of what she could say to change the topic or distract him but her brain wasn't working.
"You don't have to hide it. Just tell me." He assured.
She shakes her head, "It's truly nothing."
He didn't take that. "Why don't you want to tell me? I thought we were friends. I just shared
something quite sensitive with you but you can't share yours... why?"Wha

It was a good thing Edric didn't get to meet Iby. Any time May's mind flashes back to it, she wonders what would have transpired between the two men if Iby hadn't hidden in Maryam'sroom like she had told him to.Edric had forgotten an important file at home. He rushed in to collect it and rushed back without acknowledging May's presence.When he was gone, Iby came out from his hiding place. It was then that May explained every detail about her husband to him. Iby was angry. No. Angry is an understatement. He felt that no woman should be treated the way she was being treated."He needs to be dealt with." Iby had said. "After my group and I deal with him, he won't dare raise his hand at another woman. Can you imagine?!"May had pleaded with him in tears. She didn't want anybody to hurt her husband because of her. She told him that no matter how her husband was treating h

May looked away. Why do they have to display their love here? In front of her and her daughter?"In fact, for this, I am going to prepare something for you to eat." Bella announced, happily standing up.Edric pulled her back. "No. Let May cook. We have an important business to finish in the bedroom."Bella chuckled before placing kisses all over his face, her hand finger-combing his beard. "I like the sound of that." She said and chuckled again like it was funny.They both stood up. He was way taller than her. When he stood, her head touched his elbow. Edric wrapped his long arms around her waist."Maryam," he called.Maryam looked up

The sun had barely set when a knock came to the door. The woman outside was getting impatient when nobody came to open it. She knocked again. This time using both hands to hit the door brusquely.May and Bella came out of their rooms at the same time. They stared at each other for a while. Bella looked at her with hatred while May looked back with sad, bored eyes.When a hard knock came to the door again, they both diverted their eyes to the door. Bellaflipped her hair backward and majestically sashayed to it, shaking her round butt in an attempt to make May jealous.May yawned loudly, stretching her hands and body. Not even paying her attention. PHCN hadrestored the power earlier, so she decided to charge her phone.&nbs

This was all too sudden for May. She didn't want her daughter to be taken from her. "What about school?" she asked. Hoping that mama would take the hint."She will attend school there. Don't worry about that."When May left, Mama turned to Edric whilst untying and retying her wrapper, as if to give him a final warning."Whatever you sow today, remember you're going to reap it. You better sow a good seed so it will bring forth good fruit."Edric didn't read much into what she said. It sounded like a parable.She shook her head pitifully and walked passed him to join May in Maryam's room.

Turning off the gas cooker, Iby took the kettle and poured some boiled water into a small bowl. He turned on the tap, totally forgetting that his landlord hadn't pumped water yet. When no water rushed out, he fetched water with a cup from his black water drum that was at the side of the kitchen close to his chest freezer.He mixed the cold water with the hot one. He dipped a finger into the bowl to be sure it was now tepid, took a towel from on top of his chest freezer, and, with the water bowl in hand, he walked to his room.May sat on his medium-sized muoka foam, looking around like it was the first time she'd visited him. "I still can't believe you got rid of the drawings," she said.His room looked different from the first time she was here. The lewd dr

May cleared the dishes and washed it against Iby's wish. He'd told her he was going to do ithimself later but she disagreed. She joined him in the room sometime later and found him face up with his two hands behind his head on his bed, staring at the ceiling.He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice her appearance. She looked at the ceiling too, struggling to find what was so interesting. May found nothing. She rolled her eyes and cleared her throat, which caught his attention.Iby turned towards her. She tilted her head and forced a smile, making her look stupidly cute.He noticed that she smiled a lot whenever she was with him. And not her usual fake smiles. These reached her eyes."What?" he asked, trying not to laugh.

Evening came by quickly. She dialed Mama and spoke to Maryam, telling her how much she's missing her. Maryam in return, told her of all the wonderful food she's gotten to eat in Mama's house. Telling her mother that she was missing out. "Mummy, you need to taste Grandma's Akara (bean cake) and moin-moin. It is very delicious. She makes buns and beans pie too." She spoke through the phone with delight. May could sense it.May laughed. "So just a week that you've lived there, you know all these foods already?."Maryam smiled. "Grandma feeds me alot. Even when I say i'm full, she still won't believe me."May heard Mama chuckle and say, "This girl won't kill me." in the background."Maryam I have to go now. Someone wants to buy orange and I need to attend to him." She told Maryam as she placed the phone inbetween her ear and her shoulder while she used her hand

In the website, the blogger had suggested that if you want to get your boyfriend or husband in bed, then you'd have to surprise him in a sexy attire that was going to push him into the mood.She'd also said that a red lingerie and bra would do. The procedure she said was to pose seductively lying down on the bed.It would have been easy for her, but May had no kinky or seductive clothes. If not all, almost all her clothes were baggy and conservative.Exiting the website she had visited for help on her phone, she dropped her phone on the bed and stood up.Placing both hands on the sides of her waist, she thought of what to do. In no time, she is ransacking through her bags. Digging out all the baggy clothes and throwing it all over the place in fustration until at last, she went with putting on a polka–dot panties and a chiffon top that stopped right after her butt.May looked at her

A new yearNew years eve were always a beehive of activities for May's Household. The night before new year, Iby would clean up the entire house with the little help of twelve year old Maryam. If she wasn't helping her step father out, then she was busy playing with her younger brother, Oyins, who was just two years of age. As for May, she would go to the market and buy the food stuff she needed for cooking.After they were all done with the house activities, they took their baths and went to church for the cross over service. They turned off all the lights in church and lit a candle once the time struck twelve o'clock midnight. Out cry or shouts of joy followed with people gyrating and dancing because they'd live to see a brand new year. Meanwhile, other people didn't get to see the previous year.Before May and her family left the church, they took prayers of prosperity a

"When i found out about your pregnancy, i told you to abort the child because I wasn't ready to become a father," Edric continued, "But you refused.""But.. But I remember telling you that i was scared." May reminded him, "I couldn't abort the child. By the way, you recommended a quack doctor and I couldn't risk my life. What if something had gone wrong? Like my womb got damaged and I couldn't get pregnant again, would you have accepted and married me?""May, you could've just swallowed the contraceptives I gave to you. It could've prevented you from getting pregnant.."May rolled her eyes at him, "Well, you shouldn't have eat it raw then.""May, I didn't invite you to my room that night.

It was obvious May had forgotten. So to remind her, Edric had to start from the beginning because every story had one. Since May wasn't planning on letting him into her house, he stood outside and explained his own reasons to her. As he talked, everything played in May's head, taking her back to seventeen. Way back to the time Edric's father was employed. To the time her Dad had promised Edric that he would sponsor his studies abroad because of how intelligent he was and to that night. That particular night that spoilt everything.May tiptoed down the stairs quietly as she could, looking her left and right side to be sure no one saw her sneaking out of the main building and heading towards the Gateman's house that was located just few inches close to the black giant gate.The Gateman's house had two rooms, a portable kitchen and bathroom.

"What would happen now?" Iby asked May who visited him in prison with food and water."I don't know." She sighed, in a sad mood."Would you get back together with him?" Iby asked."Who?" May asked confused.He motioned his head towards Tega, who had accompanied May to the prison and who was standing at the far end of the hot room, waiting for May."No." She told him, "The only man I want to get back together with is you.""But I'm in prison. I'll be here for two years—""I'm willing to wait for you."Iby placed his hand on hers that were on the table separating them, "You seriously don't have to do this. I've only spent almost two months here and it already feels like years. I don't want you to wait for me. Let yourself to love someone else.. Study hard to get a degree, be a good mother and get married to a good man."
MAY Chapter sixty four.
For the first time in a long while, May actually went down on her knees and pleaded with Edric to let Iby go but he refused. He was bent on making Iby see the four walls of prison, forgetting that he was a dough bag himself, a scum but May had only divorced him instead of taking him to court for domestic abuse.Not like she couldn't arrest him or make him suffer for what he did to her. Been the governor's daughter would've paid off and make it a lot easier of course. But she didn't want to be seen as using her Fathers influence, wealth and authority to her advantage or gossipped to have arrested Edric only because he arrested Iby. There was still something she needed to shape in her life and that was, to stop listening to what the world had to say about her.It was because of Iby's arrest, she found herself standing in fro

"Lies!" Edric shouted, hitting his fist on the table immediately Iby finished his explanation, "You hear me? All what you've said are lies and I'm not going to buy it.""Edric," May turned to him. Her voice low, already too exhausted with everything. "One thing I know Iby for is that he doesn't tell lies, no matter what."Edric wouldn't take it, "No. As far as I am concerned your visitor here is not only a killer but a liar, making up excuses as to why he couldn't save Elene.""Edric listen to yourself. I know you too well. If you were in Iby's shoes, you'd not even think twice. If Ebiere was your sister, and Elene was his, you would have knocked her down on purpose just so she'll get out of the way for you to take your sister to the hospital." May defended, reasonably, "It is only

It was at that very day the accident choose to occur; just directly across the old family house. That day, Edric had graced his siblings get together and Elene had ran out excitedly to buy her brother a drink without knowing that it was going to be the end of her dear life. Her twin brother had claimed to have seen the killers face.That killer was presently sitting opposite him at the dinning table with complete shock written all over his face while Edric dug his fingers into his palm, fighting with the urge to pounce on his sisters killer and squeeze the life out of him.To everyone at the dinning table, the visitor happens to be a killer but to May, he was literally everything to her. It was unbelievable. In fact, May ceased to believe it for the Iby she knew couldn't even hurt a fly.

As for Edric, he had lost hope in retrieving his money back from Bella. She was no where to be found and her line was never going through. It didn't take long for him to accept the fact that she had lied to him from the start about her family's background and now, had ran away with his money. That huge amount of money. It was frustrating, annoying and making him think alot that he lost concentration at work. When his boss couldn't take all the errors Edric would always make at work, he sacked him and that only made matters worse for Edric.He knew he couldn't get another job so easily since he wasn't a graduate but he tried his best, searching for other jobs. On looking at his curriculum vitae, his application was always turned down by the manager of the company saying that Edric wasn't qualified enough to work with them. When he tried more companies and was never accepted, it got him depressed. The sudden turn in his life was making him lose his mind slow

"Hey, Hey, hold your horses there. Iby is not just any guy, Tega. At least, not to me. Why would you lie to him? Are we dating?"He drew closer to her with a smile, "Don't you think its about time we do? It's taking too long for crying out loud." He traced his fingers down the side of her face just like Iby would've. The only difference is, he wasn't Iby and this gave her a stinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.She slapped his hand off her, "We are not dating and we would never date.""Okay, I know you're angry because of my little lie so I'm sorry. But did you see how Iby was looking at you? I knew immediately that he has feelings for you and I can't stand that. It makes me so jealous, May. That's why." Tega explained, hoping to be forgiven."You're jealous to a fault, Tega." May shook her head in negative. "And that's enough reason why we can't be together. Not today, not tomorrow and not even in o
