“Hello, Miss Edith,” she called as the call was picked.

“Yes, madam Melisa,” Miss Edith’s voice sounded from the phone.

“Um, I found some chocolate cookies and a chocolate bar in May’s school bag. I can’t remember giving her chocolates to school, so, I’m curious as to who put them there,” she inquired.

“Oh, um, Madam, it’s..it’s um, yeah, one of the pupils celebrated their birthday today and so, chocolates were distributed to the kids,” she explained on the phone.

She kept silent for a moment and exhaled deeply.

“Um, okay,..,” she muttered slowly.

“I’m sorry if it’s not okay by you, madam,” she said again.

“Oh, no, it’s fine,” she replied sharply.

As the call ended, she dropped her phone on the couch tiredly. She had a strange feeling that Miss Edith was telling a lie. But why would she tell a lie? This has never happened before, she thought.

“Mommy,” she heard May call as she ran towards her.

She picked up a cookie from her mom and began biting the pack.

“May, who gave you cookies?”

    She was about speaking when other teachers ran into the classroom. They seemed to have been alerted by Melisa’s screams and the kids' cries.“What is going on?” One of the teachers asked as she walked towards Melisa who was fuming around the classroom.“Ask your fellow colleague here to explain. Ask her to explain what happened to my daughter!” She barked as she pointed at Miss Edith who was already in tears.“Madam, Lisa,” a tall, slender fair skinned woman in glasses called as she stepped forward from the women who were all watching anxiously.She turned and saw Mrs Brenda, the head teacher of the school standing behind her.“Let’s go to my office so we can talk further. It isn’t safe to discuss things like these in front of kids,” the fair skinned lady in glasses said to her.“I need my daughter! Ask Miss Edith to tell me what she did to my daughter!” She thundered.“Please be calm, madam,” the rest of the teachers consoled as they gathered around her.“Miss Edith, where is May?” M

    Sitting on the couch, she watched May draw a few things in her notebook while soliloquizing as she engaged in her art work. A smile appeared on her face as she watched the little girl do her work diligently. It was a saturday evening and they had both stayed back at home as usual, doing nothing. This was their lives now. No more outing, no more visiting or engaging in any other outdoor activities. Everything changed since they moved to SA to start a new life. She knew this life was boring and strange from the life she was used to. But things had to change, she thought to herself. Her thoughts narrowed to Daren and the smile disappeared from her face. All through the day, she hadn’t stopped thinking about him. She couldn’t stop thinking about the moment they shared last night. It brought back real memories which she was trying so hard to erase. But ever since he left last night, she hadn’t heard a word from him and it got her a bit worried. She was still deep in thought when a knock

    He could hear his phone ringing on the bed as he stepped out of the bathroom. He wiped his hand with a white hand towel and reached for the phone on the bed. Looking at the caller ID, his brows gathered.“Mother,” he called in a low tone as he answered the call and sat on the bed.“Daren!” He could hear her calling anxiously on the phone.He kept silent and rubbed his palm over his forehead tiredly.“Daren, what are you doing?! Why have you been avoiding my calls?!” She flared from the phone.“Mother, I’m..I’m..tired,” he replied.“Tired? Daren, the rest of the team are back in Nigeria. What are you still doing in SA?!” She shouted.“Mother..,” he tried to speak.“Shut up, Daren! You’ve been running after Melisa, uh? Oh my God, what did I do to deserve such a despicable child like you?!” She uttered in disgust.“Daren, I give you 24 hours to fly back to Nigeria or be prepared to face my wrath!” She thundered.“Mother, I will be back in Nigeria,” he said.“When?” She inquired harshly.

    “Who taught her the word, kissing?” He asked in whispers. “I don’t know,” she said with all seriousness as she walked over to the kid. “Come over here,” she said as she dragged her away from the kitchen. “Lisa, be easy on the child,” he voiced out after her with a smile appearing on his lips. Thunderbolts could be heard as they both arranged the dishes on the dining table. “Wow, this is lovely,” Melisa said with a smile as she sat beside the overly excited May. “Daddy, daddy, I love jollof rice,” she cried as Daren took his seat opposite her. “I know. Your mom told me,” he said with a smile. “Now, who’s gonna bless this meal?” Melisa asked. “Me,” May cried with a giggle and they all laughed. “Come on, let’s hear her out,” Daren said with a smile. “Dear God, bless our meal for us, and make mommy and daddy be together around me always. Amen,” she prayed. Their brows raised as they heard the little girl’s prayer. They stared at each other for a moment and looked away. “May, y

    She was still deep in thought when she felt his arms tightening around her body. She smiled as she watched his face break into a warm smile with his eyes still shut. “It’s morning already. You’re not planning to sleep all day are you?” She asked with a smile.His eyes opened slowly and he yawned tiredly and stretched away from her body.“I wish it never dawned,” he said with a charming smile as he turned to face her with his hand cupped under his chin.“I can’t believe I slept off so late. I need to take May to school,” she lamented while scratching her messy hair.“May can wait,” he said and shifted closer to her with his hands wrapped around her body.She giggled with her head resting on his chest and he planted a deep kiss on her head.“I missed you so much, Lisa,” he whispered softly.“I missed you more, Daren,” she whispered back.“Um, concerning Mrs Edith, May’s teacher, I called her some days back and she said she is back to work,” he said.“Yeah, I called the school head when

Man, I thought we’ve lost you forever in SA,” he said from where he sat before the steering wheels.Daren smiled and looked at Melisa who was sitting beside him, beautifully dressed in white long satin dress. Her beautiful face was wearing light makeup with her black curly artificial hair falling over her shoulders.“You know, you could have lost him to me forever if I wasn’t lenient in bringing him back,” she remarked and they all laughed.“What’s so special in coming back to Nigeria, except for seeing you guys?” Daren asked with a smile as he caressed the sleeping May in his arms.“Really? Well, I’m glad you realize I’m still important to you,” Evan said and they all laughed again.The car pulled up in Evan’s home and they a

    The mild breeze blew across her face from where she sat on the field with Toyosi sitting opposite her. It was dark and the whole place was calm. “Lisa, what are you thinking? You’ve been moody all day since we left your father’s house,” Toyosi said.She sighed heavily and tucked her hair behind her ears.“I..I don’t know why I’m beginning to develop a feeling of doubt about this whole thing,” she said as she looked at her face.“Feeling of doubt? I don’t get it,” she said abstrusely.“You know, my father’s last words really hitted me hard. I..I don’t know why I’m beginning to feel like he might somehow be right,” she said.“No..no..I’m not taking that!” Toyosi cut in.She swallowed hard and her gaze lowered from her face.“Lisa, how could you believe such a thing! That Daren is working with his family against you?” She asked in disbelief and she didn’t reply.“Your father is only trying to create distrust between you two. Since he can’t break you two physically, he would do so mental

    In the small dim chambers, she sipped her wine slowly with her face looking downcasted. Mrs Selina could also be seen sitting on the couch opposite her with her legs crossed stylishly.“Elsa, what do you think about my decision concerning Daren? Do you think it’s harsh?” She asked with her eyes looking deep in her face.She heaved a sigh and took a deep breath.“No, mother. Daren needs to be taught a lesson,” she voiced out sternly.“Great. When he finally learns his lesson, I believe he will come back crawling before our feet,” she said with a chuckle.There was a moment of silence and she took a sip from her glass and raised her head to her mother.“So, what are your plans for the company?” She asked.“Well, from what we’ve witnessed so far, Dotun has done so well in handling the company. Right, daughter?” She asked with a smile.She nodded and heaved a sigh.“He really did so well as a CEO,” she acknowledged.“So, I was thinking, now that he is the only one left, why don’t we hand

A lot of delicious delicacies, drinks and desserts could also be seen on each table. Slow music played in the background and the beautiful colorful lights could be seen, illuminating the whole place.“May I?” Daren asked with his hand stretched towards Melisa who was walking towards him, dressed in a long beautiful black fishtail dress that was designed all over with beads and glittering silver stones. Her beautiful chubby face was heavily made up and her earrings and necklace sparkled like diamond as she sampled them with pride. Her red full lips broke into a smile as she gazed at Daren who was standing before her, dressed stunningly in black tuxedo and silver bowtie.She smacked her lips seductively as she looked at his charming dark round eyes which were looking into hers.

    Within a second, men heavily armed and dressed in police uniforms surrounded the room.“Your hands in the air!” The men in front ordered with their guns pointing towards him.He turned to look at his mother who was still sitting on her seat, wearing a stone cold face and at Melisa who was weeping heavily as Diana’s body was covered on the floor.“Mother, you shouldn’t let them take him. We can work things out,” Daren cried and rushed towards his mom who didn't utter a word nor make any move.“Mother!” Daren cried as he watched Dotun being handcuffed by the police men.“Daren, put yourself together!” Evan consoled while holding him together.“I can’t let them take him, I can’t!” He cried as he stood up immediately and surged towards the men who were trying to walk Dotun out of the room.They pushed him away and his father and Melisa pulled him back as he tried to go after the men again.Watching Daren cry brought tears to his eyes and he stopped in the middle of the men with his body t

    He brought the ringing phone out of his suit pocket as the car drove speedily along the road. He looked at the caller ID and his brows gathered as he saw the strange number which popped up on the phone.“Hello,” he answered grumpily.“Hey, buddy,” A cheerful male voice sounded from the phone.“Who are you? Be straight,” he ordered impatiently.“You don’t need to know me. I’m your savior. Turn around quickly and head back to the mansion. Your beloved wife is having a good time with her lover. Hurry up if you want to catch them red handed,” the voice continued.There was a moment of silence and his face hardened. He felt perspiration all over his neck and brows and he couldn’t catch his breath for a moment. He adjusted the red tie over his neck and he began to pant heavily.“Who are you?” He managed to ask.“Like I’ve said before, I’m your savior,” he replied again and his heart skipped.“You can believe me if you want to, you can also choose not to believe me.

    “Hold on, I’m coming,” she voiced out tiredly as she walked over to the door. On opening the door, she froze on her spot as her eyes fell on Elsa Boseman who was simply dressed in a red long maxi dress and black beaded scarf wrapped around her head. She swallowed hard and looked away from the smiling Elsa to Charles Boseman who was standing behind her, wearing a calm smile on his face.Her brows gathered deeply and she heaved a sigh and walked away from the door immediately.“Li..Lisa, I’m.” Elsa tried to speak as she walked into the house with her husband following behind her.She stopped for a moment as she saw Daren in the living room, playing with May on the floor. Her eyes never left the beautiful girl who was laughing with excitement as she played with her father.She gulped as her eyes fell on Daren who was now looking in her direction.

    The gate opened and they both stepped into the dark room which was void of light. He switched on the torchlight he was holding and flashed the light against the room. He cringed for a moment as he saw the old woman lying still on the floor. He flashed his light all over the room again and he shook his head and let out a chuckle in dismay. “What is going on? Where is your mother?” Diana asked, walking ahead of him with her eyes looking all over the room. He flashed his light up to the ceiling and the window and then he stopped with the light pointing at the bloodstain on the wall close to the window. “No..this..this is not happening,” he cried in disbelief as he walked to the wall hastily. “She escaped!” Diana cried, looking alarmed. He began to pant heavily and he turned to the old woman who was still lying on the floor. “Wake up!” He yelled as he walked over to her. “Wake up, you witch!” Diana yelled while hitting her with her boots. “Stop,” he ordered and she stopped while pa

She caused me enough pain that could have made me lose my sanity. What if Daren had not come back for me? What if he had let his rage get the better part of him and he does something stupid to me and my daughter? If God had not been faithful to us, where would we have been by now?” She asked amidst tears streaming down her face.“Lisa, it’s enough. We are glad that you are alive to witness this day. Justice will finally be granted to you, Daren and May,” Toyosi consoled.“Love, put yourself together and be calm. You know your condition,” Daren said from where he sat.S

    Marching into the private ward he was kept in, they could see two policemen standing beside the hospital bed where he was lying with fluid running through his veins. They both heaved a sigh of relief as they caught sight of him and his head turned in their direction, hearing their footsteps.Daren walked slowly towards the bed and the policemen offered him a seat.He declined and Charles took his seat diligently with his eyes fixed on the young man lying on the bed, looking debilitated.“You asked to see me. What happened to you?” Daren asked grumpily.“She tried to kill me,” Jerry said with a chuckle.“Who?” He asked with his eyes wide open.“The one behind all of your mysteries,” he replied with a smile.“Be straight,” Charles commanded from his seat.“Your brother’s wife, Diana,” he spilled and their eyes bulged.He turned slowly to look at his father whose eyes were wide open in dismay.“Tell me more,” Daren urged immediately.“I don’t know how she found out everything that was ha

    Walking into the room, he heaved a sigh and took off his jacket.“They took the threat seriously, babe. Did you see the frightened look on their faces?” He asked with laughter while turning to face her.She smiled and sat on the bed gracefully.“Yes, they took it seriously. But don’t be surprised if your hard hearted mother fails to comply,” she said and he frowned.“She won’t. She wouldn’t want to trade the life of her family for anything else,” he said and she scoffed.“And What if she proves stubborn in the end?” She asked, walking up to meet him.He kept silent and exhaled deeply.“I don’t know what my next step would be,” he said.“We need to make it more serious,” she said and he pulled a surprised face.“How?” He asked sharply and she didn’t reply.“Like, you want me to kill someone?” He asked.“No, I’m not asking you to kill anybody.
