Almighty Mike:
"You have got to be fucking kidding me!" Angel yelled as she banged the door repeatedly. Her frustrated voice, coupled with the surprising noise the show-off's expensive door was making, echoed down the almost-empty hallway.
It even went as far as startling the sugar baby and daddy that seemed to be content with making out in the presence of an audience.
I leaned on the wall opposite the door. Angel seemed to be keen on breaking down in boredom. This scene was not one of which I enjoyed. From entire floor screaming the kind of opulence that opresses a less fortunate guest; polished floors covered with fucking red carpets, overpriced paintings, boring colours, to the couple —in which the girl had to be a minor and the man a seventy-year old pig— insistent on peeling the skin off their respective faces, to
Mokunfayo Badmus:"It's a delight that members of my family are safe and away from all the drama going on here, Steve. I wouldn't want you to involve yourself in all these, so I implore you to stay where you are. Is that understood?" I was speaking in hused tones, so as not to disturb my sister who seemed to be in a peaceful sleep —the direct opposite of what the doctors had reported her to be.It was probably due to the tranquilizer they'd injected into her made her look so harmless and at peace. I could barely tell."But aunty mi," Stephen's voice brought my attention back to the matter at hand. "You shouldn't be on your own. Doctor Deji has volunteered to care for Amaka while I'm gone. It'll only take a few days.""What will you do here? It is safer for you to&mdash
Mokunfayo Badmus:"Do you fucking mind?!" I yelled in near hysteria and stoned glares towards an unapologetic looking ex before dragging my stare towards my pale sister. "Shouldn't you be resting now?" I proceeded into the room after gaining my wits about me and tried to yank Richard as far away from Bisi as possible. I was only successful in embarrassing myself."Mokunfayo, she is not a child." The asshat had the audacity to say. "She can make whatever decisions she pleases and just so you know, we've done a lot more than what you just witnessed." His smirk grew bigger by every word he said. I knew the fucker was gloating, but I wasn't ready to indulge him."I'd like to speak to you, Bisi." I addressed my sister instead, but Bisi only averted my eyes and turned her face the other way.
Mokunfayo Badmus:"You're a very foolish woman, you know that right?"I nodded in agreement, because it was the gospel truth; I really was very foolish to have thought collecting evidence against powerful and rich people would be as easy as walking in one of their offices and seeking an interview. Mike had been right, my subconscious had been right and this dangerous looking man relishing the sight of my blood on his dagger, was right as well. I was a very big fool."Thank God you know." He beamed in satisfaction.The man's name, or at least, the name he was being hailed with as he came towards the dark, damp room that was my current prison, was Salt. At that point, I'd vaguely remembered a particular sermon about humans being the salt of the earth and even though I had also
Almighty Mike:Staying away was fucking hard when Angel was hellbent on trying to get closer. It killed me earlier to watch my arrival bring a smile to her face and just walked away like she didn't look so damn sexy in that dress that accentuated her in just the right places, with her er hair cascading down her shoulders hanging by her sides in all its wavy glory.I wanted to smile right back at her, I wanted to walk up to her and share my latest discovery about my attention towards her, I wanted to compliment her looks and make a joke out of her dressing so elegant in a place that housed list and all other vurglarities, but I knew that I wasn't the perfect person to say things with her. I was clearly not good enough for her, I knew she deserved better.That was why I'd been forced to look away, why I'd been forced to h
Mokunfayo Badmus:"Appearances?"I had hoped to convince Mike otherwise when I invited him into my room last night, I'd hoped having him spend the night with me would change his mindset about us never being able to be together. I'd hoped he would care too much to give up on whatever it was that he wanted for us, that the memorable night we'd spent just holding on to each other and whispering sweet nothings to ourselves in my tiny bed would make him see that I wasn't the 'heiress to billions' he'd perceived me to be, but I had been wrong.Mike left at the break of dawn.He had left no clear leads as to why he had to go or where he would be; no note, no text, no voice mails, nothing. Just a
Mokunfayo Badmus:I watched my sister recount the horryfying tale of all the terrible things I'd done to her in the past few weeks; I stood in awe as Olabisi admitted to visiting Alex on the said day, but he had broke if off with her with the information that he was engaged and the news had been what upset her to cause the accident that almost claimed her life and when she told me about it all, I'd went wild with a diabolical plan to get back at Alex and his very supportive friends.She narrated how I'd stabbed her, on her way to recovery in her hospital room, with a knife when she refused to play her part in my lie, how I'd fed her with tranquilizers when she determined to live through her stab wounds and denied anyone that could help access to see her, how her best friend had finally found a way to come through for her in the hospital and with the help of the very doctor I e
Almighty Mike:Fuhad had been right, Angel still had that fierceness about her.He had made sure, regardless of his claims that he couldn't stand her, to visit her creative hideouts and relentlessly attempted to 'fuel her fire', in his words, while I'd been forced to the sidelines to be a mere onlooker.It'd killed me to stay away from her in such a vulnerable time of her life, the heavens knew how many times my heart broke whenever I'd snuck out, regardless of Fuhad's stern warnings to see her wallowing in alcohol or tears or just the emptiness that seemed to be creeping slowly into her eyes. I'd fought my restraints to be there for her… to assure her that I would do anything to help her recover from her low.I wanted, so hard, to punish the person behind it all. I w
Abdul-Jabbar Fuhd:The woman in the room behind the door I leaned on was unlike any other I'd come across; she was fierce, resilient, beautiful—and with brains, kind, a great friend with a heart of gold, and she cared for her own like no other.I mean, she was literally training to kill the men that tarnished her sister's dignity even if the 'sister' in question hated her guts, and possessed no dignity to be tarnished.Mokunfayo was a woman in the true sense of its word; nothing like the thing that birthed Zhulfah.I had to admit, all those bothersome weeks I'd spent in getting to truly know her wasn't the waste I'd proclaimed it to be; those enlightening weekshad opened my eyes to the reasons why more than half of the male population adored women; or the cliche myth they all seemed to have about them. However, while the coloured glasses with with they saw the sluts the worshipped could shatter to reveal the ugly r
