Chapter Begins
"You are not my mother."
Those words continued to linger in Mokunfayo's head, even as hours turned to days and days to over a week.
Stephen's outburst had left her severely shocked. She couldn't help wondering how long he had held the thought in his head—out of the abundance of the heart and all that. Did he think of her often? And what did Stephen take her as?
Eventually the questions changed dimension. Where was Stephen's mother really? What happened to her? Who was she even?
Mokunfayo's brother had never brought the woman to meet the family or anything like that when he was alive and considering the circumstances that led to their meeting, Mokunfayo had no way of knowing. Not a clue.
Mokunfayo Badmus:I was cool with Cordelia, even before she died; regardless of the fact that she once told me—on an impromptu visit with Bisi—that she was flaunting Mike on purpose to show me how much of a gem I'd foolishly thrown away, I still mourned, in my own way, when I heard of her passing two weeks ago;

How could I have been so ignorant?
It was a case of running from frypan into fire when Mokunfayo bolted out of her supposed engagement party into the clutches of the bad kind of policemen.And when Mike –a handsome but deadly assassin– comes to her rescue in the nick of time, sparks begin to fly.
Almighty Mike:After shedding off the insanely costly jacket I'd worn due to the request of the deceased drama queen, I settled quietly on the same bench Angel just vacated and thought long and hard about all the woman had just yelled at my face in anger, and I realised I had been very and so willfully stupid to have ever thought about all the I'd said after Angel finally confessed about her feelings for me.Now that I thought thoroughly about it, I rested my head in both of my palms and wondered what on earth I had been thinking to have ever suggested that she come be my second in command.
