"What?"David still speechless. "..."Deji started laughing "Oh boy. This Janet girl don hook you. You are hooked my man""Why did you say that?" Jayden raised his brow."Did you see yourself while chatting with her?""Do I look like a wizard to you?"David now back to his senses "Omoh!""You guys need to speak up"Deji "If I wasn't left speechless I would have made a video so you can watch it yourself"David "Jay, you are hooked, line and sinker"Deji "You were smiling and chuckling like a teenager. Just to ask for a picture?"Jayden couldn't believe his friends will annoy him over his smiles. "Oya Deji, come and be going""I am not going anywhere. This soup too sweet. I want all the recipe"David "Jayden, I think you are in love""What do you mean I am in..." He was cut off by the notification on his phone. He opened the picture. "Wow, she sure is pretty"Forgetting about their initial reaction to Jayden's affectionate looks and body language. "Let me see...""Show us..."Jayden amu
Janet was very busy because she couldn't work during the weekend. Nonetheless, she kept checking her Whatsupp constantly to see if there are any new messages from her friends. But unconsciously she was expecting messages from Jayden. She will look through her notifications from time to time to check if there are new messages. But he didn't send anything after receiving Tokunbo's picture. When she didn't get any messages from him in particular, she decided to start the conversation."Hey.""How is work going?""And by the way. Thanks for yesterday"Sent!Janet opened the picture on his profile, zoomed it and smiled. It was a casual picture taken of him on a beach. He was all smiles. Although it wasn't a portrait picture, he cropped it to look like one. He was wearing a baby blue T shirt which was puffed up from the wind. He had a sunglass hanging on his forehead. His dimples were on full display and Janet is finding it hard to believe what Danielle said about his temperament. He doesn'
Janet tried not to be distracted for the rest of the day and concentrated on her job. At the close of work she decided to take a little time to go see her friend before leaving for home. But she called first to make sure she is at home. "Hello Jay Jay""Hi Toks, how are you doing?""I am fine and you? How is work?""Work is fine. I just closed from work. I wanted to come see you before I head home. Are you still at Bibiana's?""Nah. I went shopping with Dee and moved back home straight from there. I am at home now actually""Okay, I will be there in a few""Aight, I will be waiting""See ya" Janet drops the call. Quickly said goodbye to her colleagues and took a cab to Lekki.Tokunbo was looking at Kunle's picture sadly when Janet knocked on her door. "I am coming"Tokunbo confirmed it was Janet and opened the door. "Hey baby girl""Hey yourself" Janet hugged Tokunbo "So how are you doing?""I am okay. I am used to this now""Toks this is not something you should get use to dear. Tr
Jayden had to work overtime. Deji's unexpected visit disrupted his schedule and the fact that he took out time to call Janet added to it. Thinking of Janet, he can't help but smile. When he was done with most of the work he set out to do for the day, he called her.Janet reached home paid the cab. She freshened up and had dinner with her family. She went into the room to pick up her charger so she can watch TV with her parents for a bit before she retire for the night when her phone rang. She saw the Caller ID and smiled."Hello Jayden""Hello Sunshine"Janet blushing "How are you? Have you closed for the day?""No, actually, I am still at the office.""This late? Your company closes very late?""Not really. We officially close at 6pm except on occasions where we all or most of us have to work overtime""Oh. That's one hour later than my office. We close at 5pm"" That's nice. The time I leave work depends on my workload. But I will leave soon. Decided to call you first. So what's up?
"Hello Jay Jay""Hi Dee, how are you?""I am fine.""How was your shopping?""It was so so. What's up?""I called maama to say hi but couldn't get through. Is she close by?""Nah, I am on my own floor. She said something about online conference call with some first ladies. I think she turned off her phone for that""Okay greet her for me later okay. ""Okay""Have you talked to Toks after your shopping?""No, why?"Janet briefly updated Danielle on the David situation. "...do you think what I did is okay?""Yeah. It's okay. If the David guy can really get her to forget that dirtbag I will buy him a car for his next birthday"Janet laughing "e reach like that?""E pass like that o""So how far with work? Did you go to the new place for the interview?""No Janet, I didn't go, I want to rest for a while""Ah, Dee you barely worked for three days this time around and you are talking about resting. What will you do if you work for a month? You will take a vacation?"Danielle laughing "When
Tokunbo couldn't believe that her otherwise boring and normal night turned out this way. She was not nervous anymore she was clapping and smiling like a teenager while egging him on.David smirked and twirled his shirt with his fingers for a while and throws it at her. Tokunbo caught it and sniffed. "Hmmm hmm hmmm smells nice. Love it" She looks up and saw that David is twerking slowly upside down in the air while doing multiple hip thrusts. 'Oh my God' Tokunbo wide-eyed was blushing.David seeing this decided to pay more attention to his act. He stood upright and removes his gloves with his teeth, gave a growl and shake the glove like a dog with a chew toy. Tokunbo was laughing at his silly antic while biting her lip. She knew that striptease is an art that requires finesse, subtlety, and precision, but she doesn't care. Anytime they go for all girls vacay abroad, one of their bucket list is to watch exotic dance shows. His silly antics and playful nature seeps something sweet into
With a broadening smile, he strode over to where she was standing and pulled her into his arms."You are really really pretty Tokunbo" David murmured, bent his head and took her mouth. Her lips were warm and soft. He could taste the champagne they both had earlier on her lips, her lips parted slightly allowing his tongue to slip inside. She responded with such enthusiasm that he was taken aback, he regained his composure quickly and reminded himself of what was happening, he was really kissing her and she was kissing him back. Tokunbo's eyes fluttered to a close. The kiss lasted a few minutes, but it left both of them out of breath at the end. Tokunbo's eyelids grew heavy and she cleared her throat. 'Okay you need to leave now before I pull you down on the sofa' she thought.David stared at her languidly, he smiled and kissed her forehead. "Okay, I should be on my way. I will call you tomorrow" "Alright, good night" Tokunbo's voice was a bit hoarse.She walked him to the door and tri
Bibiana gave a detailed explanation to the security, they later sent four security men over. Two of them escorted him out of the premises. They were tasked with making sure that he is escorted out of the estate and blacklisted. The other two stayed back and asked Tokunbo some questions. The answers is to be documented in case they have to involve the police later on.Tokunbo told them she is sure, she doesn't want him near her or her apartment anymore. They asked if he knew anyone else in the estate, they have to know so he doesn't come in with the excuse to see that person and come to her apartment instead. She told them that there is none that she is aware of. They asked a few more questions and left.Tokunbo is totally exhausted mentally and physically. Bibiana quickly called the girls back to cheer her up. "Has he left?" Janet asked."Is he gone?" Danielle said quickly as she picked up the call."We had him escorted out of the estate" Bibiana answered angrily"Very good. I hope h
Three months later "Jay Jay, you have always been beautiful, but now you are simply stunning. Jayden won't be able to take his eyes off of you today" Janet smiled as she looks at her reflection in the large mirror "You think?" "Of course and Jay Jay your wedding dress is to die for. Jayden is so attentive. Your baby bump is not showing at all. Sigh. You know what I did last night?" Bibiana smiled as she finally managed to push Douglas out of the doorway of the presidential suite and close the door. "What did you do?" Janet raised her brow. "I held a ring and told David to hold it the same way. He did and I slipped my finger inside. I pretended to be surprised and started shouting I do I do I do." Janet and Bibiana couldn't stop laughing. "Toks, David is smitten, if not, with all of your antics. He would have japa from you by now" Bibiana smiled mischievously "I agree with Jay Jay. What did he say though?" "He said he is not ready for marriage" "Aww. It's okay. He will event
"Are you sure you don't know who it was that is the mastermind behind your kidnapping?"Janet smiled and nodded her head "Yes sir, I don't know the men. I saw them for the first time that day. And I don't know who asked them to kidnap me either""You do know Danielle Savage right?"Janet clutched her gown tightly but her facial expressions didn't change at all "Yes. She is my friend""Is she in anyway involved? Or do you suspect her?"Janet shook her head "No, she is my best friend. She didn't do anything"The Police Officer in charge of the investigation looked at Janet thoughtfully, he asked her the same question several times already and she kept saying the same thing. 'Mr Jayden said it was Senator Savage's daughter, but if she is not saying anything there is nothing he could do about it.' he sighed "Okay. I will file your statement. However if you remember anything later, you can come at anytime or call me, okay?" "Okay, thank you""You are welcome. You may leave"Jayden was on
"Remember, try to control your emotions. We will tell them everything some other time. It's okay to be sad when talking to them they will just think you are missing them. But they will suspect something is off if you cry. I can't put this off anymore so be ready"Janet nodded."It's ringing"Janet's mom picked up "Hello""Hello mom, I was able to finally drag your daughter away from her office. I didn't know she was such a workaholic"Mrs Desmond laughed "She is a workaholic. She always bring work home. Even during the weekends"Janet smiled and was about to tear up, Jayden shook his head."Her boss gave her all those days off like a good employer and now he made her do all the work in a day""It's okay, she can handle it. She also likes working""Here she is ma""Hello mom""Janet how are you?""I am fine, how is everyone doing?""We are all fine. What's wrong with you? Your voice sounds off"Janet sniffled "I am fine, I am a little tired and missing you all a lot""Awnnn, we miss yo
"Yes Dee. I told you about him right? You didn't believe me. First you went home with your dad and then you went to Ajah where you kept her. Is that not where you answered my call while lying to me that you were locked up at home. Then you left after you entered the building. You saw us at Jericho right? Then you ran away because you did not want us to know that you were not at home. You even went to my neighborhood before that time" Danielle was completely pale as she stare at Bibiana in shock. 'They knew all along?' Tokunbo was disgusted "With friends like you, why would anyone need enemies!" Danielle got angry when she heard what Tokunbo said and screamed "Yes I did it!" Janet already knew but she still trembled in Jayden's arms as she finally heard her admit it. In a shaky voice she pulled Danielle away from Tokunbo and asked "Why?" Danielle felt guilty initially but right now she was mad that everyone is throwing accusations at her. Regardless of whether she did it or not, sh
Janet looked at Danielle with a bit of disappointment in her eyes and continued. " That room was adequately stocked, If I wasn't alone I would have thought I was in Small Sister's house. You know what the funny thing was? Me thinking you were kidnapped along with me and was probably in another room similar to mine. That's the only explanation I could come up with at first. Because you called me and the ring tone woke me up, then I heard your voice at the door. I was so worried that they kidnapped you first and forced you to lure me to the door." Janet chuckled self derisively and continued "The phone was useless because there was no signal. I tried calling Jayden several times, but it was useless. But when I later watched the video..."Danielle can't stop thinking what video was it that she keeps talking about "What video Jay Jay? I didn't do anything"Janet didn't say anything and stood up to look for her phone, when she checked the bed and can't find it, she was contemplating askin
The doctor completed her examination and stepped out of the guestroom. She frowned her face and asked "Jayden have you called the police?""They are aware. They told me she can come and give her statement tomorrow when she is better" "Okay, because I noticed that she is suffering from either PTSD or shock, she is not responding to any of my questions. She is fine, but she has few bruises. No sign of rape or any extreme bruise caused by blunt force trauma. The bruises she got are probably from been carried roughly."Everyone sighed in relief. "But..."Everyone turned to the doctor anxiously. "Relax it's not a bad thing. Although I can't be affirmative, but I am almost sure that she is pregnant""Pregnant?" Bibiana almost screamed.Everyone was dumbfounded especially Jayden. 'Pregnant?' "Yes. I am not 100 percent sure. I have drawn her blood. We can only be sure after proper tests are carried out. I will try and also check for traces of the drug they used on her."The doctor handed J
"I don't think it's okay to move her around too much until the doctor gives her a full check up" Tokunbo nodded "Yes I agree with Bee, let's wait until she is awake. Bode called the doctor that will check for trauma right? Let him come, by then the cleaners we sent to her house would have finished cleaning. Then we can decide if she needs to go to the hospital or home." Jayden was still looking at Janet's face intently. "Alright" They all went back to the sitting room. Bibiana saw how relieved everyone was now that Janet has been found. "What do you guys want to eat?" "Noth..." "Nothing" "Anything" Bibiana looked at Deji, Bode, and David with amusement in her eyes. Deji and David looked at Bode and shook their heads. "Don't mind him, we just ate. We were at Nuban when Tokunbo called" "Deji, I didn't get to eat anything. I was on the phone throughout remember?" David sneered "Shameless!" "What? I just got my appetite back. Jayden didn't eat either." Bode looked aggrieved.
"Deji can I borrow your car?" Deji looked at Bibiana, then his precious Brabis, then Bibiana again. He shook his head and reluctantly gave her the key to the Brabis. Bibiana collected the key and turn to Tokunbo "Tokunbo let's go" Tokunbo that was still frightened after seeing two dead bodies was shaking like a leaf in David's arms. David held her and guided her to the passenger seat. He helped her fasten the seat belt and told them to drive carefully. Bode and the boys got into Jayden's car and also drove off. Tokunbo still trembling a bit looked at Bibiana and in a shaky voice said "Bee, I have not seen a dead body that close before and not that mangled. I am going to have nightmares for the next few days" Bibiana smiled bitterly "I am just thankful that none of them is a female" "Bee, are you also convinced that Danielle did it?" "I wasn't at first, but how do we explain this Toks? She came here and suddenly the building is on fire and now there are dead bodies. What sort
Bibiana doesn't know what to think at this point. She stared at her phone then at Jayden and somehow unconvincingly said "She didn't do it guys" Jayden snorted "You believed that?" "I don't know Jayden. But Dee will never harm Janet. Trust me." "She clearly was acting. Nothing about that was natural" Deji shakes his head. Bode sighed "Everyone in our circle knew that when lil princess Danielle wants something. Then she gets what she wants. You are one of her closest friends, you should know that much." "I know her so well and that's why I am finding it hard to believe that she will kidnap someone and Janet for that matter. Trust me Danielle genuinely loves Jay Jay." "If she loves Jay Jay she won't be trying to covet her boyfriend." Deji sneered. Bibiana frowned "She is obsessed with Jayden I agree, but to actually go this far? I don't know, a part of me does not trust anything she said just now but the other part of me can't believe that she will stoop to that level." Jayden wa
