Almighty Mike:It wasn't fair how I couldn't even stay mad at this woman for twenty four hours, without her getting to find out about a wrongdoing of mine that would require that I apologised to her.This time though, I was in no mood to indulge in her emotional blackmail, even though I was clearly at fault. Maybe her leaving by day break would be for the benefit of all parties involved. I was tired of dealing with her baseless tantrums, I wanted to chill and relax for a change.That was my way of justifying the stupidity that'd prompted me to convince her into vacationing in the same state where the Arch Angel's were planning to have the biggest get-together in the history of get together. I refused to allow myself to feel bad for my selfishness.Well all that was until I woke up with a start in the middle of the night; covered in cold sweat, my heart beating thrice its normal pace.I'd had a familiar

Mokunfayo Badmus:"As much as I hate to bring this up, Mokunfayo, you are any better than any of us murderers. You can stop judging, it only makes you reek of the one thing you claim to hate the most –hypocrisy."I was shocked to a standstill for a full minute. When I finally gathered my wits about me and turned around, Mike looked like he was already regretting what he'd said, but that only lasted for a split second before he walked towards and past me into the same closet I was heading towards.I absent-mindedly found the nearest seat and plopped down on it, still feeling very surprised.Mike didn't need to mention a name in his argument, he didn't need to say that I had murdered someone in the cruelest manner not even people like him would have thought of, I already

Mokunfayo Badmus:There was tension in the air; I could tell by the way Mike had almost had a row with me because I refused his offer of buying me a new dress. I could tell by the tense way he looked at me when I showed up in his limo and said my simple floral gown was not appropriate for the event we were attending.He himself was all decked up in a smart, sky blue double breasted tuxedo, but I still wasn't convinced that such fabulousness was needed in a confraternity get together that was to happen at a club; it still sounded as bizarre as when Mike first told me it was a formal event with a corporate setting.What was even more bizarre now, was Mike's hesitance to get out of his vehicle, coupled with the visible nervousness that had him clenching and unclenching his knuckles since we got here several minutes ago.

Mokunfayo Badmus:Mike had given me a cold shoulder all afternoon. I think it had something to do withme refusing to wear the pricey scrap of material he'd ordered earlier without first consulting me.He had been strongly against the casual floral gown I'd insisted on rocking with brown sandals, he'd called it inappropriate, and lower than the standard of the event we were attending. I refused to take offense and firmly told him that if I was going to see his 'associates', I certainly wasn't going to show up looking like a woman of the night.He had grumbled about me regretting my decision, before going on to deck himself up in a smart, sky blue double breasted tuxedo with beltless pants to match, ombre dress shoes, with a blue beret that carried the insignia of ArchAngels.

Mokunfayo Badmus:I was still beyond surprised when I regained consciousness after what felt like days. But more than astonishment, I felt even more confusion.Mike wouldn't shoot me just for throwing him a birthday party even if he abhorred birthdays. There had to be some other reason.There had to be.Stop acting like you've known him all your life Mokunfayo Badmus! You've only known him for a few days. Snap out of delirium!Sigh.I finally decided to pay attention to my dressing and surroundings. I was wearing a blue hospital gown and in a room similar to the one I'd visited him in the night before, just a little bit smaller. Nothing interesting about it either; lean bed, white walls, bedside stool, single loveseat ...Trigger was asleep on the single loveseat. I was guessing he would at least put me out of my misery and explain what on earth

Mokunfayo Badmus:"Fay," he breathed out in the same amount of shock I felt.He recognised me too even if my mask was still on, my eyes were all he needed. He used to tell me how he could recognise me in a million people if he saw as least as my eyes. Turned out he hadn't been joking."The police have been searching all over the place for you!" I winced at the loudness in his tone and had no choice but to drag him to a secluded area to avoid more of the curious stares that were coming my way.I removed my mask when it was just us, making him gape for a moment before regaining composure."You've been all over the news lately." A lame way to start a conversation with someone you dumped over four years ago because she was raped. But I nodded all the same."What happened? I don't believe a word of what the media is saying." He said and suddenly encased me in a bone crushing bear hug. If I didn't know better,

Mokunfayo Badmus:Mike left for the bathroom after ordering breakfast with a clouded expression, a polar opposite of his infamous playful smirk he had on just moments ago.I could tell he also wasn't used to this whole... thing that was going on between us. It would be useless to lie to myself that I didn't feel attracted to the hot murderer in the adjoining room, however scary it was to admit it.The entire thing was scary, Richard had never calmed me down in the middle of my usual nightmares -well that was probably because I'd never slept over at his place- I'd never felt comfortable in Richard's arms to the point of craving it like I craved this man's.What is happening?! It's only been a frigging day!Well, so much had already happened from Saturday up until now, a Monday morning.And I was going to be stuck with him in the same room for God knows how long.Sigh.It wasn't going

Mokunfayo Badmus:I stood before a flushed, angry lord that was panting like an overworked horse. I would only be lying if I said I wasn't nervous."M–may I come in?" I stuttered with my heart in my mouth and he seemed to snap out of some sort of daze before nodding briskly.As I walked carefully towards the bed he laid on, I wished I had picked another time to visit, a time when I didn't have to face the aftermath of a ferocious argument between two proverbial elephantsThere was no proverbial grass nearby to suffer but me.Sigh.I perched on the bedside stool tentatively, fidgeting with my fingers, terribly wishing for a hole to crawl into. Then I noticed him trying to adjust his position and rushed to help. His sharp intake of air announced that I was doing what I wasn't meant to do."I–I'm so sorry, I thought you needed help," I choked out after withdrawi

Mokunfayo Badmus:As I followed a kinda stout but short guy with a bizarre name and a cast on his arm to the suite I was so glad to leave less than four hours ago, I tried to wrap my head around what'd happened earlier.Mike had saved me, the second time in like twenty four hours. Before he had saved my dignity –which I was ungrateful for– and now he'd put his life on the line to save mine, after I defied him and escaped his prison, which was now a safer place than the public.I had thought he was being overbearing and inconsiderate when he wanted to keep me for a little longer but now that I knew I was a fugitive and he only wanted me to stay hidden and be safe, I felt stupid.I had not only disobeyed him, I had also put him in harm's way.I know disobey is a strong word for what I did but that wasn't the point at the moment, he was hurt and I was the cause.Sigh."Will he be fine?"

Almighty Mike:My car screeched to a halt in the middle of the highway when I abruptly stepped on the brakes due to the bombshell Fuhad just dropped.Thankfully, there was no vehicle in tow or it would have been nasty.For my pretty little Audi."What?" It came out as a whisper so I tried again, "what did you just say?""She es–""Don't you fucking repeat it," I growled in annoyance."Sorry boss," A loud honk and yell from the taxi driver behind me, telling me to take my 'keke maruwa' off the road and allow people who 'know how to drive' interrupted my thought's process.Under other circumstances, I would have taught the ideal driver a lesson but my eagerness to get to the hideout and strangle the life out of someone overwhelmed that urge."Boss?""Don't you bloody boss me, by the time I get to the hi– home and she's still not back where she's ought to b

Mokunfayo Badmus:It took all the self control I had in me not to scream and kick at the digital door after him. I was worried about getting to Bisi and all he cared about was a fucking meal?! Did I look hungry to him? Did he think I was going to eat anything he offered me in the stupid hell hole he held me captive in?!More than I was angry at him for being a total asshole, I was angrier at myself for letting him get to me. I'd woken up in his arms moments ago and I wasn't even a little bit scared even if I knew he could end my existence within the twinkle of an eye, I was comfortable instead.He was swiftly crumbling the firm resistance I had built over my emotions and I was feeling comfortable when I should be doing something about it. I didn't like what was going on, Ineeded to leave as soon as possible before things started to get out of hands.The buzzing of the digital door sliding open distracted me from

Almighty Mike;"Should I take care of her?" The question rang out the moment the door finally slid shut. I blatantly ignored the owner of the voice and walked towards the elevator.Being the pest that he was, Fuhad followed immediately."Mike?""She's not a threat." I finally stated with a tone of finality, though I had a feeling that an earful of words I didn't want to hear would follow in quick succession."Seriously Mike?, she's going to file a case, is that not alarming enough?" And I wasn't wrong."She threatened to," I amended grumpily, "a tiny threat that is useless since she's and will continue to be under my shelter as a prisoner till we're convinced she doesn't pose a threat anymore.""Get a grip Mike you're seriously losing it, when did you begin to care about people?" He scoffed bitterly, definitely disgruntled by my unusual choice of a punishment.
