JORDAN
I twisted and turned on my bed. I felt so restless. I immediately opened my eyes and sat up straight.
The sounds of the thunder rumbling made me more anxious.It felt like something bad was about to happen---or had happened. I couldn't sleep.I couldn't stop thinking of Amarachi.My mind was in disarray.Why was my case in love always different?Why? Why couldn't I just keep someone I was in love with in my life? My heart was thumping so fast and my hands became so sweaty, I had to stand up and get myself water.I poured myself water from the water dispenser.Something was wrong.
Something felt amiss.Amarachi.I picked up my phone immediately, dialing her number.It didn't go through.I hissed in annoyance and tried calling again.
Probably it was just network.It went to voicemail."HAMARACHI I walked to an unknown destination, brushing off tall grasses and shrubs from my path. To be honest I had no idea of where I was going or how I found myself in this dense forest but I somehow felt safe.It felt like someone was waiting for me as I kept on walking.I could hear sounds of birds chirping. It made me feel happy and somewhat secure. The breeze blew eagerly as I kept on walking. Suddenly i spotted someone sitting down on the grass, her back turned against me. Her thick afro swaying in the direction of the wind. She was singing. I knew that voice. It sounded so familair like I've heard it before.I steathily walked towards the woman, making sure not to startle her.It felt like I knew her.But as clumsly as I was, i stepped on a branch which made her stop singing. She turned to face me and
AMARACHI I ran so fast. I didn't even want to stop to catch my breathe. I just kept on running into God knows where.I ran with the wind whipping me across my face as I raced through barren trees trying to put a great distance between me and the kidnappers.I didn't notice the stone on my path as my foot kicked against it making me fall and wincing in pain. I dug my fingers into the black soil as I stood up. I looked at the injured toe and I felt like just crying out. I plucked random leaves and rubbed them together, squeezing out the green extract on my injured toe.I then used the leaves to cover my toe.Once done, I stared at my surroundings. The giant trees did good in blocking the sun rays and I am pretty sure it was getting dark.I could hear owls hooting and I suddenly got scared.Where was I?I was lost in this dense forest and it seemed like I w
AMARACHII assisted Tolu and her mother in setting up dinner on the dinning table. There was no way I could think of being idle and not doing anything, especially towards the family that just took me in.Dinner was a time for me to get to know each of them. Their oldest child,a boy, Ayo, really reminded me of Nonso. I missed him so much but at the same time, I didn't want to go back.I had gone through hell and almost died.Now I'm in this place, in the new state and it seems like God has given me another chance to start over my life.I was finally free from aunty Lydia and her schemes. Finally I could start over.But Jordan. That name rang in my head suddenly. Would i ever get to see him again?My first love got ripped away from me even before we had the chance to blossom."Amarachi"Tolu said snapping me out of my thoughts.I immediately r
JORDAN I walked downstairs, fuming with anger but who exactly was I angry with?My self for agreeing with Damien's idea? Or Diana for touching me?Or was I angry at my Mum for sending me back to Lagos?God. I just want to see Amarachi again. Where is she? How can she just leave like that?I'm loosing my mind. I'm going nuts.I just want to be with Amarachi. I want to kiss her and pull her so tight towards me till she can hear the rhythm of my heart beating for her.I will lay Amarachi down in a heartbeat but these other girls were just disgusting me.I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't notice I bumped into Damien as he talked to some other guys.He turned to face me and raised a brow, giving me a quirky look."So fast damn. Was it a quickie?"I hissed and and headed towar
AMARACHI I sat in the parlour discussing with Tolu while her parents discussed in the dinning room. They had been discussing for a while now in their yoruba dialect and I really hoped it was nothing serious."Amarachi to be honest I am so happy you are here. You are like the sister I've always wanted"Tolu said giggling.I was also happy to be with her to be honest. I've stayed with them for about a week now and I truly enjoyed every moment of it."I am happy to be with you too Tolu. To be honest I am grateful for everything"They never treated me like I was an outsider, I was always treated like a family member.Tolu and Ayo treated me like I was their sister whilst their parents treated me like I was their own daughter.I truly didn't miss the life I left behind. Apart from occurring reverie concerning Jordan, I truly didn't miss that life. Was i
AMARACHI My heart was beating at an unsteady pace the moment I saw Jordan. The way I denied knowing him, I could see the hurt in his eyes.He looked so shattered at the same time enraged by what I said. But how can I accept him back into my life?Funny how I always asked myself if I would ever see Jordan and now when fate brought us together, I quickly denied knowing him.I didn't realise this then but now it seems allowing Jordan back into my life will do me more harm than good.I was kidnapped and someone paid eight hundred thousand to those murderers to kill me.Who?That was close to a million. Aunty Lydia doesn't have that amount of money and if she wanted to kill me she would have done it a long time ago. My only suspicion pointed at Nicole. On multiple occasions she threatened to harm me and it was all because of Jordan.I
AMARACHI I didn't react at that moment when Jordan whispered into my ear. It felt like I was still being hypnotizedThen suddenly I realised what he meant and it felt like the veil had been lifted off my eyes. My heart began beating frantically like a person who had regained his senses and I cried out immediately."No, no please!"Jordan instead lifted up my skirt again, pulling it so high up that I could have sworn he must have seen my panties.His hands slowly grazed my exposed thighs."No please Jordan!"I pleaded and cried. I closed my eyes, writhing in fear after realising there was nothing I could do.Jordan wouldn't do this without my consent, would he?Tears poured down as the thought of loosing everything shrouded my mind.I cried and sobbed bitterly,but then i noticed after some minutes as I w
Ogechi quietly walked into Francis' compound that evening. Unsure of whether he was home or not, she tiptoed into the compound, making sure not to cause an alarm by her arrival.Staring at the environment, got her eyes stung with tears. Francis would be very angry to see her, that she knew clearly. He had even threw her belongings out of the house even before her biological father, Otito, came for her.To worsen it all he had restricted Lydia from coming to see her. Ogechi wondered how her mother was coping, last time she saw her with Francis by the road, she looked so bruised up. Francis must be melting out his anger to her. Ogechi herself looked worse.She had lost weight and looked unkempt in just a week. Her new family weren't doing justice in taking care of her. Otito's wife and two children always taunted her, calling her mother a prostitute and forcing her to do strenuous house choresShe was normally starved an

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
