CHAPTER
Mokunfayo Badmus:
I didn't understand what was going on anymore.
I mean; I tried, with every brain cell I had, to comprehend what Richard was trying to tell me in the medical director's office, but it still didn't make sense.
It had not even been up to four hours since I'd spoken to Bisi, yet he claimed to have met her unconscious and seriously wounded when he got to the room.
Now he, in conjunction with some four eyed man that introduced himself as the medical director, was trying to convince me into giving my permission for taking my sister off life support as she would barely make it even after 'wasting' money on treatment and stuff.
My fingers tightened around the piece of paper that would seal my sister's death, should I pick up a

Mokunfayo Badmus:Even though I hadn't found a way out of my recent predicaments, I still felt like a heavy load was taken off my chest when I was done sharing the past few days with Trigger.A problem shared was half solved indeed.I felt oddly at peace, surrounded by arms. I didn't mind his stench of sweat and cigarettes, I was grateful that he was there; happy that for the first time in a while, I really had a friend to lean on.That was, of course, until Almighty Mike decided to make his triumphant entry into the hospital room. He stopped short when he realised I was practically seated on Trigger's lap, on my hospital bed and cleared his throat as an order for Trigger to pull away from my embrace and bolt out of the room.

Mokunfayo Badmus:I should have been happy about Mike's absence for the past few days, I really should be, but as I brushed my hair in front of the tiny mirror of the equally tiny motel room that was now my abode, I realised that I wasn't only unhappy that he hadn't even bothered to contact me since our argument three days ago, I also missed his Almighty presence.I terribly missed him.However, I was grateful that things were beginning to look up; I'd picked off my stuff and Bisi's from Madam Peju's security point three days ago, after signing my discharge papers. I'd assured Stephen of my safety and warned him against accepting palliatives from unknown sources… from anyone basically after hearing the good news of Amaka's miraculous recovery.I'd begun online searches for aff

Almighty Mike:"You know, Almighty, there is something I don't understand about you," Trigger began as I lit up a fresh stick of cigarette; the fourth in the span of forty five minutes.We were waiting outside the car, under a large mango tree —far away from distracting Angel— so she could conclude her interview with a willing eyewitness I'd personally discovered while on a stakeout mission of Alex's office complex.I hummed for Trigger to continue talking, even though his incoming rant would barely interest me."This minute, you're acting like you can't live without… her, and the very next, you're running off to meet your whore sidechic—"

Mokunfayo Badmus: It was probably a ploy to get me to talk first when Mike suddenly parked the car at the beginning of a row of poorly constructed kiosks after thirty minutes of a silent drive to an unknowable destination. After Mike had prevented my tears from falling and I came to the realisation that the attraction we felt was way deeper than lust, I'd been shocked to silence. And even now that Mike was alighting the car and playing gentleman by walking around the car to open the door for me, I still didn't know what to say. I got down from the car in uncertainty, but stood my ground when he began to walk towards one of the kiosks. "Are you coming?" He turned around when he realised I was not mimicking his actions and raised his brow in qu

Almighty Mike:How things went from zero to hundred in the span of a few minutes, I wasn't sure, but I knew I was stupid for comparing Angel to Cordelia and it was too late to take back my words.It hurt my feelings when she said i might never be able to sustain a lifelong commitment because of my personality but I freaking had no right to say what I said in the first place, and I knew a simple apology wasn't going to fix this —plus the fact that I was still very much angry— so I watched her strut away in her stained shirt and sky high shoes.I'd fucked up big time, I knew, but maybe whatever happened was just another omen reminding me to stay away from Angel.I sighed and resumed my hike down the rest of the dirt road till it became narrower and ultimately an invisible path. It t

My earlier intuition had been correct; Mike really hadn't been interested in touching me in the way I would have liked even if he'd spent the entirety of my time in the bathroom a few metres away. He had been too busy worrying about my wellbeing and comfort to care about the naked boobs I kept flashing him on purpose.Or maybe he was just being faithful to Cordelia.The latter thought had made me so ashamed of my earlier action that I'd kept to silence even after clothed heavily in one of his denim jackets and woolen sweatpants that pooled at my feet.I was currently seated in one of his ancient settees with my injured foot propped on this cheap wooden table and a mug of hot cocoa which he'd prepared enclosed between both my palms. He was seated opposite me staring unblinkingly

Mokunfayo Badmus:With all the recent events going on around me, I didn't think anything anyone said could actually shock me anymore, but Mike's revelation totally threw me off guard and regardless of the fact that I'd already mentioned this over a thousand times, I knew other surprises could never hold a candle to this one.I was enthralled."I…" I didn't know what to say. I was totally dumbstruck and my swaying announced that the shock was affecting me physically as well."You should really rest your leg. You can't keep up with this position. Come, let me help you…" I didn't even know he had moved close enough until his right hand wrapped around my shoulders as he helped me steady.I wordlessly allowed him t

Almighty Mike:I didn't think, even in my wildest dreams, that I would tell Angel that Mucha About me, or actually mourn the death of my parents into her soft calming blossom while holding onto her like my life depended on it.But there I was soaking the hoodie she wore with my eye fluids and making pathetic vulnerable wishes that I had been strong enough to face those men, I'd been strong enough to fight for the people I cared about.'Had I known's had never been my thing, but I found myself imagining what it would have been like if I'd shared my observations with someone when Ma began to hurt herself, I wished I'd helped her seek help before she got tired of it all and ended it. I wished she was still around to meet Angel.I wish I'd found the last officer that had the bal
