Amarachi stared at every store in the mall. Never had she been in such a place before. People swarm around her like bees. She spotted several white people. Everyone walked past her, chattering echoed everywhere as music boomed the entire atmosphere. The spine chilling air welcomed her in.
"Nicole should have told me the air here was too cold"
Glancing at Nicole who walked beside her, the cold air had no effect on her. She was really used to it.There was a strong aroma of different exotic mouth watering dishes gracing the atmosphere."This place is so big"Amarachi whispered to Nicole.Nicole gave her a satisfied smile."You should see the malls in Dubai. They are bigger"Nicole must have really travelled much out of Nigeria. They were like two seperate people. Nicole grew up enjoying the luxuries of life, and Amarachi grew up with suffering and grief being her
"Say thank you else I'll throw you down the stairs"Raphael commanded.Nicole kept quiet for some seconds and Raphael almost dropped her.Amarachi and Nicole let out a shriek simultaneously.Jordan dragged Amarachi back as she was about standing up.He shook his head at her and caressed her arm."One"Raphael counted."Thank you"Nicole immedately said, panic gripping her."What did you say?"Raphael asked teasingly."T--thank you for s--saving me earlier this morning"Nicole stuttered.Raphael smiled at her, contended."Can you let me down now, carefully though"Nicole asked calmly.She was still in his arms and she had to tread carefully with her words.Raphael shook his head at her. "Nope"She was about protesting again but he began walking downstairs with her in his arms.Nicole suddenly felt uncomfortable and nervous.His scent was re
Raphael sat on the sofa, his mind perturbed. He tapped the pads of his fingers on the chair as his thoughts drifted back to Nicole.She looked so sad and withdrawn, he suddenly felt scared that she might hurt herself. He was getting anxious and agitated.Raphael stood up immediately and headed for the kitchen. On entering he spotted Nicole, back turned against him. She was crying.But her cries were silent. Her head was buried in the kitchen sink and it looked like she shut her mouth again. He slowly walked over to her. He stood behind her, his towering height above her's as he watched her. She must have sensed his presence which was why she slowly stood up yet she didn't face him. His legs moved on their accord as he came even more closer to her,his hot breath lingering on her neck.Her back was pressed against his front. Nicole sniffed her nose and wiped the t
AMARACHIFor a moment, it felt like I couldn't focus on anything aside the heavy pounding of my heart. I slowly started gasping for air whilst Diana watched me.Her lips pulled to a taunting sneer."Why do you look so shocked? You mean he didn't tell you he has gotten intimate with me? Wow. What more is he hiding from you?My chest heaved continuously. It felt like I had lost my voice.She gave me a smile which I knew very well was plastic. "You really don't think Jordan is the faithful type do you? C'mon darling look at him. He has a lot of sexual partners. You don't need to be shy. I knew you guys did something in there. C'mon tell me. How was he? Was he rough or gentle?"I swallowed the bile in my throat. I found it so difficult to speak. It suddenly felt like an inferno was raging within me. I couldn't react and I felt so glued to the spot."Well to me
"So you..um..you are under a mafia? You work..for....for..shit..you work for those people? Can you tell me more about the mafia you deal with?"Nicole stuttered as she sat up, horrified by his statements.She truly didn't know why she was interested in knowing more about Raphael.Raphael ran his hands across his black raven locks, he then stood up and sat close to her.Nicole became puzzled and wondered why he came over to sit by her."You really want to know more gattina?" "That's Italian. Does he speak Italian?" Nicole wondered.Nicole nodded her head at him without turning to face him. She didn't want to think of the unholy thoughts that would shroud her mind if she did turn to stare at him.Raphael brushed some strands of her long black hair off her shoulders and tucked it behind her ear.Nicole became more
Nicole stared at her laptop, eyes roving around the white screen. Her hands eagerly danced on the keyboard. She was perturbed, she was frightened, she was scared.Any words that could describe this sudden agitation and horror that she was drowning in.She was petrified as she kept on surfing on the net.Mafia.She was researching about mafias.The more she searched, the more horror struck she became. "A mafia is a type of criminal organisation whose central activity is the arbitration of disputes between criminals and the organization and efforcement of illicit agreements through the use of violence"Nicole drew in her breath suddenly as she read it aloud.Her heart sank and she gulped. Raphael was very dangerous. She still remembered the way he almost choked her and just the thought sent chills to her body.Her heart began thudding and she felt her breathing shortened.She qui
"Bella why are you so inquisitive?"Raphael asked opening the doors of the room.He quickly pulled her hands, bringing her outside with him before shutting the door."What does bella mean?"Nicole asked ignoring his questions."It means a beautiful lady"Raphael replied as he took her downstairs.Nicole felt a glow in her cheeks and pressed her lips together, a nervous smile drawing on her lips.Raphael left her in the parlour as he retreated to the kitchen. Nicole slumped on the sofa she was seated on before and exhaled.She still felt very scared of Raphael but at the same time she felt so worried.Why would Raphael join a mafia?From her research yesterday,the only way to be free from the mafia was death. It shook her to the marrow. Why would Raphael get involved in such a dangerous group?How long had he been in the mafia?
Seconds rolled into hours as hours rolled into days and the days rolled into weeks since Nicole's visit to Raphael and also Jordan's proposal to Amarachi. Both sides grew closer, bonds strengthening as the days rolled by. Amarachi would listen continuously to Mother and Nicole ramble about her wedding and it always amused her because she was tired of explaining to them that she wasn't getting married immedately.She had discussed it with Jordan and they both decided to tie the knot a year later. Considering her plans to travel abroad was underway, marriage was the last thing on her mind but Nicole and mother were on deaf ears to her own side. "Mother I and Jordan aren't getting married now"Amarachi would always remind her."Do you want to be engaged forever?"Mother would snap back teasingly. She was still very elated at the fact that mother and Nicole wished well for her. This was the care and concern she had bee
NICOLE How did I get myself into this? How did my life turn to this? I am really signed into an organisation I know nothing off and I want to know nothing off! Why did Raphael make me sign this?Questions like these sort answers in the maze called my mind. It felt like i was running round in circles. The more I tried to figure out how I got myself into the mafia, the more confused and frustrated I became. I loved Raphael. I really did. I never believed I would even fall inlove again considering what happened between I and Jordan but Raphael somehow made me fall inlove with him. I was just so scared and worried. Why was he in a freaking mafia?I just want to have a simple love life like other normal couples. I felt so distraught. What would become of my life now?A knock on the door probed into my thinking and Amara

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
