Francis turned on his bed and yawned lazily as he slept soundly. He could hear far distant echoes of someone murmuring which disturbed his slumber. His eyes fluttered open and his gaze landed on Lydia who was deeply lost in her thoughts. He was surprised to see her still awake and he noticed she looked so agitated as she was murmuring some incoherent words whilst shaking her head rigorously.
It didn't seem like she noticed he was awake.
"You are still awake?"Francis asked puzzled which cut through Lydia's soliloquy."Yes I'm awake!"Lydia snapped back which startled Francis.
"I'm awake. While you are busy snoring and sleeping, I am here thinking of our daughter"Francis rolled his eyes and lazily sat up straight, facing Lydia.
"What did Ogechi do this time?is she pregnant?"Lydia shot him a baleful glare,"Francis are you alright?"
"Well you
AMARACHI I tilted my head backwards. This felt so good and my body was actually responding to his touch.Jordan's body was so pressed on to mine as his lips began travelling to my jawline until they brushed against my lips.A soft brush that made my toes curl and sent butterflies to my stomach."Should i go on?"Jordan breathed against my ear.I didn't even know how to respond. It felt like the air had been sucked from my lungs. My breathe was caught in my throat as he whispered once more in my ear."My whole body is burning with need for you Amarachi" The moment he said that, i let out a gasp. I felt so weak in the knees and I was feeling so aroused by his words.Did he mean sex?I couldn't think of having sex, not now. I didn't want it. I don't know why i felt so scared even though i was
AMARACHII walked towards aunty Lydia's shop carrying a sack bag of heavy fabrics and linens. She rushed early to her shop today, giving me peace at home.I hadn't even set my eyes on ogechi ever since i woke up this morning. What could mother and daughter be brewing up?"Nonso"i called as I waved at him, spotting him in a nearby shop.He turned around and a broad smile formed on his lips immediately he sited me."Nonso kedi(how are you)?"I asked as I approached him."I am fine o Amara. What about you?"Nonso replied cheerfully.I nodded my head at him"I'm very ok. Longest time o".Nonso gave a quiet laugh and examined my appearance.He pulled his brows together and his eyes widened "You look so different Amara. Why are you so happy?"I chortled at his word and my brows began to furrow."I've always looked like this
AMARACHI I watched Nonso carefully. I could tell he felt very uncomfortable being here with Jordan.Jordan on the other hand seemed really happy to meet Nonso. "Hold on for a second. I just prepared some pastries. Let me get it for you two"Jordan said before heading towards the kitchen."Nonso he is nice right?"I asked snapping Nonso out of what ever reverie he was experiencing.Nonso glanced at me and gave me a small smile.I exhaled and wiggled my nose teasingly at Nonso. "Calm down ok. Jordan is nice. I promise you will enjoy his company"As if on cue, Jordan stepped outside with a tray containing what looked like biscuits.What are these?"I baked cookies. Serve yourself ok. Cynthia is preparing a tasty dish. Take this as an appetizer"Jordan said smiling.I glanced at Nonso. Was that a
JORDANAmara. Amara. Amara.God!She is the only one on my mind. What is this girl doing to me?I never actually imagined i would fall so hard for a girl.What exactly is attracting me to her?Could it be her beautiful face and that lovely smile that makes me never want to see her cry?Could it be her humble attitude and the fact that she is hardworking?I chuckled to myself.I was going crazy for her. I just want the best for her. Looking at her, I can see clear evidence that she is suffering even though she acts like everything is fine.Ever since i witnessed her aunty almost beating her to death and the way Ogechi insulted her when we went out, I knew she wasn't happy in that house.I can only imagine what she goes through everyday. Just the thought of her being mistreated made me clench my fist.Suddenly i heard a honk outside which
"Amara you are awake"Lydia said as she stopped her discussion with ogechi and faced Amara who sluggishly walked into the parlour with a broom.Amarachi nodded her head and yawned lazily."Goodmorning aunty"she greeted before bending down to sweep but was stopped by Lydia."Start from the kitchen. It's very dusty and sandy"Lydia suggested.Amarachi sighed heavily and went towards the kitchen.Ogechi hissed and pinched her mother"Why can't she start sweeping from here?"Lydia snorted."Because i want to tell you that this morning is the D-day. Watch and see the drama that will unfold at Mrs Justice's place" Ogechi drew in her breathe suddenly "We are going there today?""Ofcourse. Just watch and see how things will turn out in your favour"* * * * * * * * * *
"Amara why are you staying behind. Will you come on walk osisor!"Lydia growled at Amarachi who looked so pale.Amarachi used a part of her dress to dab her eyes, trying to restrain the fat tears that won't stop flowing."Mama this girl isn't walking fast o. We have to go meet Mrs Justice quickly and explain to her Amarachi!"Ogechi chirped in as she eyed a distressed Amara.Amarachi couldn't hear their taunts, everything felt non-existent to her. She was lost in her own world of sorrow and anguish.Her eyes were swollen from crying and her eyebags could be clearly seen.She dragged her feet as they all walked to Mrs Justice's house.Lydia hissed loudly and went over to Amarachi, roughly pulling her to the front."Idiot! Instead of you to quicken your pace you are slowing us down. I dont blame you. You just foolishly ruined the fabric. Useless orphan!"Lydia scoffed.Ama
"Jordan what just happened earlier today?"Nicole asked irritated as she stumped into Jordan's room unannounced.She eagerly awaited his arrival as the anger built up within her.Jordan who was earlier on his phone,stood up to face her, his tall frame towering above her."What?"He asked as he shot her a slithering look.Nicole stood fixed on the spot and maintained eye contact with him, unlike Amara. The more Jordan stared at her, the more he saw the striking resemblance between them."Why were you over that girl? That poor wretched girl Jordan?""Nicole!"Jordan yelled enraged."What!? She is poor and wretched. She stinks of poverty!"Nicole snapped back as she still stood fixed on the spot with an unwavering spirit.Jordan massaged his temples for some seconds, trying to calm himself down leaving an aura of uncertainty in the air."Get out Nicole"H
AMARACHI Jordan must have sensed my apprehension which was why he slowly stopped and let go of my wrists."I'm sorry Amarachi. I didn't mean to scare you like that"he said.I glared at him and turned to go without saying a word but he pulled my wrist back again.God!What does he want!?"Amarachi atleast give me a chance to explain please. Who the fuck told you I have a fiancee?""A dark tall girl. I thought she was your sister when i came the last time with aunty Lydia and ogechi"i replied without glancing at his face."Damn! Nicole"He suddenly yelled out which startled me."It doesn't matter anyways Jordan. I got to know the truth before i became so deeply into you. But what i don't appreciate is the fact that you played with my emotions when you already had someone else. I didn't expect it from someone lik

Amarachi let out a soft whimper whilst Jordan's one arm made its way to her breast, fondling it and tweaking her nipples through her night gown.She felt her panties becoming wet while Jordan's deft fingers kept on groping onto her breasts."Jordan.."She moaned out of breath as he pulled away only to crush his lips back on hers again, giving her no time to breathe.He let out a low guttural grown and pressed her firmly against him.Amarachi could feel his hard sex poking her thighs and it sent jitters down her body.Jordan trailed wet kisses down her neck and nuzzled against it."I'll love to go rough on you piccolo"Jordan whispered seductively which only increased the wetness in Amarachi's panties."Please go soft"Amarachi heard herself plea.He pulled back and gazed at her."I'll love this night to be perfect for you Amarachi. I want to make love to you and mak
Amarachi walked out of the bathroom, her bathroom robe hugging on to her wet body. She sighed and walked towards the bed, sitting on it. A deep sigh left from her parted lips once more. She loosened her braids, letting it fall down as she laid down backwards on the bed.Although she felt sad by what took place yesterday in Lydia's house, still deep down she also felt this sudden peace of mind knowing she had unraveled the hidden truths. She still couldn't believe Lydia would go that far out of jealousy.A jealous heart was truly more dangerous than poison.Lydia let jealousy eat deep into her that she totally became immune to human sympathy. She had let resentments and animosity rule over her life to the extent that she passed the hatred over to Amarachi.Amarachi never wanted to believe Lydia was that wicked but now she had confirmed it for herself. Now she owed nothing to that family anymore. She had paid her last respects and she knew she would never cro
Jordan and Amarachi both got down from the car with Amarachi feeling excited to see Nonso. He was actually the only person she got so excited to see. She silently prayed he would be home. His gate was fully opened and they both entered inside the compound.Everything just looked the same to Amarachi. She suddenly became nostalgic as she remembered those moments where she and Rebecca would come visit him. She felt her heart beat faster with each step they took inside the compound. Amarachi spotted a parked car and noticed the boot was left opened with luggages in it. It was different from the car she knew Nonso had.She wondered if some other people were now living in the compound. She dreaded that thought. She just wanted and hoped to meet Nonso before she finally travelled out. He had been such a huge emotional shoulder to her and she just wanted to see him again,
"Lydia why did you do this? My mother loved you, she loved Ogechi too. She wanted the best for all of us. Do you know she would always tell me back then that she couldn't wait to see I and Ogechi grow up to be successful women with good husbands? She loved your daughter Lydia. She loved you Lydia"Amarachi said as the tears kept streaming down her cheeks. She didn't even want to retrain herself from crying. She cried so uncontrollably that her body shook. Amarachi held on to Jordan tighter for support because she felt she could pass out any moment.Jordan planted a tender kiss on her cheek and patted her hair softly as he maintained his hold on her waist.Lydia fell to her knees and crouched to Amarachi's feet, her tears dropping on her feet whilst she wailed and pleaded for forgiveness. Amarachi closed her eyes and cried bitterly as Lydia begged at her feet.Francis stared at his wife, disgusted by her. H
Rebecca sat on a plastic chair, fanning herself with a handfan. The heat was unbearable inside the cramped self contain she now called her home. Perspiration covered her face as she kept on fanning herself whilst Emmanuel, the man who was responsible for her pregnancy laid on the bed, laughing to himself as he kept on chatting on his phone.Rebecca eyed Emmanuel as he kept on being focused on his phone not even minding Rebecca's multiple glares. Rebecca cursed and cried within her over her ill fate. She was heavily pregnant with his child and her mother had forced her to come stay with him. Nonso had utterly rejected her and cut her off from his life. Emmanuel had proven to her that he was just a brute. He never came back home sometimes, hardly provided money for feeding and was a strong womaniser. Rebecca sometimes couldn't believe this was the life she had to deal with it. She
AMARACHI I faced the large dressing mirror that stood on the wall horizontally.I couldn't believe I was actually back in Enugu. I felt so nauseous when we landed yesterday evening. I truly didn't know if it was because it was my first time using a plane or because of the fact that I was back in this state that held so much bad memories for me.Jordan held me softly as we waited for our designated driver that will take us to his mum's house. I couldn't even sleep well the entire night. I twisted and turned restlessly on the bed. I just couldn't wait for dawn so I could go meet aunty Lydia. I needed to move on and rap this up as soon as I could. Today would be the day I found out the truth surrounding my birth and my mother's death. I wanted nothing but the truth.All my life, I had alw
Raphael buried his face down wards with his hands resting on the table in front of him. He didn't know how long he had been thinking but his thoughts ran wild. Nicole was avoiding him and it hurt him deeply. The only reason he killed Tobi was because the brute was forcing himself on her. Rape was something he could never tolerate.Sex should be by consent not by force. He wasn't just forcing himself on any woman, the motherfucker was forcing himself on his woman. And he had to teach him a lesson. A capital lesson. Now Nicole was avoiding him like a plague. He only did that to protect her. Her staying away from him was equivalent to starving him of food and water. He wanted to hold her in his arms and tell her a million times how much he loved her but she was avoiding him like he had leprosy. His love life was going hay wire and now he will have to leave for Italy soon. Ivan
A week had passed since that fearful incident. Nicole had entirely made sure to stay away from Raphael. She tried as much as she could to avoid his calls and texts and avoided places she knew she could bump into him.Even though she felt he was tracking and watching her, she tried her best to avoid him physically. Whenever she remembered that horrifying murder, it shook her and made her nauseous.Tobi worked under her father and he got to know of it. He was so distraught when he heard that Tobi passed away. Tobi was one of his brightest workers and loosing him was like loosing part of the brains of the company. Her father had promised to fund his funeral and he also urged the police to bring the murderers of Tobi to book. Nicole had never felt so scared in her life especially when she saw the news of Tobi's murder on the headlines. The police believed he was beaten to death by thieves. Raphael's men
