"Dinner is served." I informed, watching over her from my shoulder as I settled the plates of food on the dinning table. I didn't need to raise my voice because I had a deep voice.
"Awwww, that's so sweet. I'm coming." Bolu said from the sitting room where she was watching Telenovela. She was putting on the pajamas I had lend her and sipping the coffee she had made.
I replied her with a firm nod, took a seat and waited for her.
She stood up moments later, and made her way towards the dinning room. She looked really cute in my wine coloured satin pajamas, with her artificial bone straight waist length hair. I couldn't help but admire her that moment as my gaze slid up her body. She was a real beauty.
"What did you prepare, Al?" She asked, hastily grabbing a fork, as she balanced on the chair opposite me.
"See for yourself." I nodded towards where the plate of food sat.
She rolled her eyes, took the lid off the plate. And her eyes nearly pulled out their pockets when she saw the food.
I smiled, a genuine smile this time.
"Wow, spaghetti and beef sauce." She abruptly twirl the fork on the meal, took a mouthful into her mouth and chewed "It's delicious." She complimented after a mouthful, looked up at me, and then flashed me a grin. "Guess I'll start spending my nights here to always have this treat. You're such a good cook, Al." She sounded so sincere.
"Thanks." I said picking up my fork and resumed eating.
And that had been that. We ate in silence and I was grateful Bolu didn't speak until we were done eating. She was the polar opposite of what she was at the club.
I carried the plates into the kitchen, wiped the remnants of the food and dumped the plates into the dish washer.
When I returned to the sitting room, Bolu wasn't there and the tv was switched off. I had a feeling she was in my room and I was right when I went there. She was sitting on the bed waiting for me.
I sighed as I watched her, extremely cautious that she wanted me to sleep on the bed with her, and possibly give me a boner so we'd end up having sex.
"Come to bed, Al." She attempted to look miserable, but failed.
I ignored her, then went about brushing my teeth in the bathroom. When I was done, I stayed in for a while, hoping she'd fall asleep. But I was wrong, she was still awake, waiting for me.
"Come to bed, Al. It's late." She laid her hand on her cheek, then drowsily casted a worried glanced at me. She must've been battling with sleep.
"I..uh, I'm gonna go prepare for tomorrow. No sleeping tonight." I replied.
"Huh? So you're gonna tell me you don't sleep whenever you have a case?" Her lips curved upward as she questioned, raising a brow.
"Yes. Night." I replied firmly, not wanting more questions. I headed out of the room before she could utter any more words.

BoluThe sound of buzzer and dogs barking made me stir, as I hugged the pillow tighter, pressing my face into it. The stupid barking increased and I grudgingly sat upright, and ran my hand through my wildly tangled hair. I stretched my foot looking for one pair of slipper I had worn last night. I could feel my lips twitching into a pout.I yawned with my hand fisted against my mouth, stretched my arms and wore the comfy bedroom flip-flops I had worn last night. The air conditioner had made them cold though.Wondering why Alex wasn't in bed with me, I decided to head into his study.The damn guy must've slept in there. But he wasn't there when I got in. Meanwhile, barking of the dogs had gone out of control, like the were having mental disorder.

BoluHis eyes met mine swiftly, and sweet Jesus, I felt a jolt in my body. My teeth chattered as I shuddered, because it all felt like a misapprehension that this mysterious male just connected his eyes with mine, and looked away.There was something odd and intriguing about him, that commanded attention. I mean he was so cold looking and attractive at the same time, that I had doubts if he smiled or laughed.I was still occupied, ogling at him until he popped the buttons on the elevator, and hopped in. When the elevator slid down, I felt my heart going haywire.Holy Fudgenuts Molly.No Wonder Dad's Secretary was blushing furiously, when she saw him.I was still lost in

CharlesIt was a minute past ten when I arrived at my mom's house to pick up Ruby. Mom's house was thirty minutes drive away from my house. I felt it was better for Ruby to stay at her granny's than hiring a nanny to look after her. So I always left her at my mlm's house, spend an hour or two with her, before returning to the office."Good evening, Charles." Mom greeted when I went into her view. She was sitting on the sofa in her sitting room, reading the bible with her thick lensed glasses on.I stared into that once beautiful face which was now wrinkled from old age. She was sixty two but age quickly. Currently looking like she gained twenty years in existence to her appearance. Because of the H.B.P and diabetes she had.She also had a short hair which had the variat

AlexShe stared at me oddly, with her eyes studying my face. I knew it was stupid of me grabbing her by the arm, but I felt the urge to help her."Listen to me." I said, tightening my grip on her arm, when she tried breaking free from my hold. Raising her head up to look at me, her face twisted into a giant scowl."I saw and heard everything that occurred between you and the usher guy at the door. I'll help you get a dress." I offered.Her big eyes shone and her sassy mouth quivered.Although, she was dressed like a boy, but that couldn't disguise the fact that she was pretty. She was light skinned, tall, bony with no curves and gangly. Big bulgy eyes and full luscious lips. She wasn't smiling but her dimples were visible.

MiaI frowned, wondering why wealthy people derived pleasure in showing off their wealth. Who the heck would come to Ben&Jj's with a convoy? Obviously the person wanted to showcase his wealth. I hissed.A very huge guy hopped out from the limousine, walked up to me, and informed me that his boss wanted to see me. This statement got me pissed and amused the same time."Who the hell is your boss? And why does he wants to see me?"I asked scowling up at him. Then it occurred to me that it might be Rachael who had wanted to see me. Perhaps, she was told about me, and has made the decision to meet with me.The anger I had in me died down, when that floated over my head."Listen to me, if you don't get your flat ass into the car, I'm going to have to force you in myself."

AlexAn old woman, and a boy who could barely move his limbs came and held Mia as they wept. At this, I knew it was her grandmother and her cousin brother.My brain couldn't properly align that she was gone.I was still hugging her body to myself, as I wept, until I heard "Bolu."Instantly I snapped my head back, and saw one of the cops rushing to the lady who was on the floor. It was the same lady who had taken the gunshot for Mia.I stared at the lady closely, until I saw that it was Bolu.Taking my mask off, I left Mia in the arms of her grandmother, as I quickly walked up to where she was laying on the floor, in the pool of her own blood.The cop and a little girl was crying so hard, as they held her.And I squated and took one good look at her.

It was other people who where tied with ropes, and had rags in their mouths.Tunde Ibrahim who had sustained a bullet on his leg, was on the floor. And he had a gun pointed at a female who was decorated in bruises, and had her clothes coated in blood.I looked closely, and saw that it was Mia.My heart moved to my throat at this, and I felt weak right at that instant.Mia looked half as dead, and I could tell that I stopped breathing.Just as Tunde Ibrahim pulled the trigger, I saw a lady from nowhere diving in to shield Mia away from the bullet.And when the bullet got through her neck, and she slumped heavily on the floor.This happened within the space of two seconds, and I shot Tunde Ibrahim on both hands.

AlexThe two cops accompanied me down to the basement, after adding more bullets to their guns.I could recall how Kate had told me, one of them; the tall fair one to be precise. Had saved them, when Tunde Ibrahim had sent a bomb.I knew if I hadn't shot the man who intended shooting him, he would have been as dead. Because he was out of bullets at that time.Him and his colleague had stared at me wide eyed, after I had shot and killed the other Tunde Ibrahim's man, who had wanted to kill the colleague.On getting to the basement, I kicked the door opened with my feet, and gunshots where behind fired at me. But for the fact that I was clad in a bullet proof all through, made no bullet to penetrate into my body.Taking steps backwards, I shot at these men, with the cops at my behind, assisting me.The more we moved backwards, the more they

CharlesMax and I exchanged gunshots with some of Tunde Ibrahim's men. It was really easy, because I was quite scared I was going to be shot dead. Even Max had fear evident in his face. We had our backs against eachother as we hid and shot at these men.It was one of the most difficult situation I had ever been thrown in, because we were surrounded by these men who where shooting at us from different angles. But God was still guiding us.The fact that Tunde Ibrahim had my mom and daughter, was worth panicking. I had no idea what he had done to them. If they were still alive or not.Max and I had killed most of Tunde Ibrahim's men, and it looked like two where still remaining, and hiding at some corner so they could shoot us.Just then, one of Tunde Ibrahim's men jumped out from his hidden place and aimed his gun at me.I tried to shoot at him, but then I r

BoluIt looked like something was on going outside, that most of Tunde Ibrahim's men started running out.Gunshots and screams could be heard.And on seeing how Tunde Ibrahim and the remaining of his men were rendering hefty blows and kicks on Mia, was making me sick.There was a pool of blood on the floor, and Mia's face looked swollenly covered in blood.Guilt stung me deeply, that the pace of my breathing became fast and uneasy. Because it was partially because of me that she was in this condition.I had been blinded by hate and jealousy, to see that Mia was innocent. I knew Alex, he wouldn't fall for a despicable person. He had fallen in love with her for his own reasons.Something I was too angry and jealous to notice.And now, she was thrown into this situation because of me.Like a beast, Tunde Ibra

CharlesThroughout the drive to Tunde Ibrahim's house, Max and I were panicking, to the extent that Max even wet his pants.I was trying so hard to keep my emotions in check, and it really wasn't easy.Tunde Ibrahim had my daughter and my mom, and I didn't even know if they were dead or alive. But I chose to believe that they were alive.Meanwhile, Max had lost all hopes.He broke into tears like a baby, and despite that I was in an anxious state, I still managed to talk to him. That everything was going to be fine, and we'd have our families safely. But Max still refused to believe me. His facial expression was like his world was crumpled, and there was no hope of restoring it.Even me too was scared, because Tunde Ibrahim had my daughter and my mother, but I still managed to stay strong. Because if I acted weak, then it meant I was willing to accept the

AlexOn getting in front of Tunde Ibrahim's house, I made sure I took hold of my bulletproof mask. My whole body was clad in bulletproof, before I wore my clothes.I wore a face cap, so it would be hard to recognize me.Then I banged loudly on the gate, and when I heard a masculine voice demanding who I was, I told him I was the pizza delivery guy.The peephole of the gate was flung opened, and a white milky eye stared at me, and the pizza I was holding in a suspicious manner.Before closing the peephole back. Then my ears kicked in the dangling sounds of heavy keys, which read that the gate was being unlocked.Blowing out a big puff off breath, then waited.The gate was finally jerked opened, and I stepped in.Right there an then, I saw an heavy raccoon of a man, with other shirtless guys who had bullets as necklace, and guns in thei
