She hastened her footsteps as she walked along the lit up passage where she could see a few people in front of the restrooms. Some waved at her and she waved back with a forced smile on her face.

With her heart pounding so fast, she scanned her eyes all through the passage in search of Rita. Jerry’s presence is no good, she thought as she increased her steps.

“Mommy May,” she heard a voice behind her and she turned to see Rita standing in the middle of the passage, staring at her.

“Oh, thank God I found you,” she cried in relief as she walked back towards her.

“Are you okay?” Rita asked as she saw the anxious look on her face.

“Rita, I’m in soup!” She cried hysterically.

“Meaning?” She asked, looking puzzled.

“Jerry is back!” She exclaimed in whispers and she shrieked backwards Immediately.

She began to pace in front of her with her hand cupped on her chin.

“And..Is he here?” She asked in confusion.

“Yes! He came to Daren and I. And gosh, that psycho almost put me i

    She sighed tiredly as she walked into the room with Daren following behind her, carrying the baby. She sat on the bed dejectedly with her face downcasted. “Love, the baby needs a bath,” she heard him say as he placed the baby on the bed. She could see him undressing the baby who was about to cry and she smiled wryly. Daren had proved to be a very caring and supportive husband. With him beside her, she was pulling through her postpartum days easily. She thought about Jerry and her heart skipped. Why does everything have to happen this way? She thought and her eyes welled up. “Love,” Daren called again as he stood up right and he could see her staring at the baby. She raised her head towards him and stood up at once. “The baby needs a bath,” he reminded. “Oh,Um..yeah,” she muttered and took the baby from him. He stood for a moment watching as she proceeded to the bathroom with the baby. What possibly could be wrong with Melisa? He thought. After having a good night shower

    It was fully sunrise when she arrived at the mansion. As she stepped into the house hurriedly, the cry of baby May sounded in her ears. “Lisa!” She heard Elsa Boseman’s harsh voice calling behind her. She froze for a moment and turned slowly to see her sitting in the dining room with baby May in her arms. “Where have you been?!” She thundered. “Mom..Mom..I,” she stammered as she walked to the dining room. “Speak and stop the stammering!” She yelled with her brows gathered together. “I went to visit Rita, my friend. She was sick and there was no one to look after her. I had to take her to the hospital,” she lied. “And you had to leave May behind?” She asked angrily. “No..mom..it was too early to take her along,” she explained and Elsa sighed. “She needs your attention,” she said as she handed the baby over to her. “Thank you, mother,” she said. She turned and saw Daren walking down the stairs. He was dressed in a black suit and tie, with his brogue shoes leaving tr

    Their laughter echoed on the rooftop where they sat at the resort, with a few drinks on the round table before them. It was evening and an afrobeat music could be heard playing in the background of the bar. “Daren, I’m really so happy for you. I can’t wait for the company to be fully handed over to you,” Evan said with a smile. He adjusted the collar of his dress as he sipped from his beer. “Thank you, Evan,” he said with a smile. “You know, you’re so fortunate to be born in a golden family, with a silver spoon in your mouth. I mean, you don’t have to toil hard like the rest of us before you reach greater heights. I’m really so happy for you, man,” Evan said again. “Well, it’s not as easy as you think. Like this one, I had to work for it,” he said with a chuckle and they both laughed. “Look at you, What work did you do except for the work you usually do in the bedroom?Ehh?” Evan asked with laughter and they both laughed uncontrollably.

    The burning sun blazed on their bodies as they both stepped out of the car. She looked around the serene environment where she heard the chirps of birds from the beautiful garden beside the two storey building in front of them. She gulped as she reminisced about her childhood days in this building which had served as her home in the past. She felt Daren’s hand in hers and she looked up at his face which wore an assuring smile. “Shall we?” He asked and she nodded. The short wooden gate opened and they both stepped into the yard which was beautified with flowers, trees and green grasses. They could see a middle aged man in a blue overall suit walking towards them with his face wearing a smile. “Sir, Ade,” she called with a smile. “Oh, Melisa, it’s nice to see you again,” he said with a smile. “Same here. Um..is my father home?” She asked at once. “Yes, he is in the garden at the moment,” the man replied. “Alright, I’ll meet him there,” she said and he nodded. Alongside he

    10 MONTHS LATER. Her laughter echoed around the room as she watched Daren and their daughter, May, who was throwing her first steps in front of her daddy. She was 11 months old already and she had grown into a beautiful fair skin baby with adorable eyes and thick black hair. “Come on, baby, do it!” Daren cried in excitement as he watched her throw her frail legs. She fell and they both laughed. “I told you, she’s just a lazy princess,” she said from the bed and he frowned. “Don’t you dare call my princess lazy, next time,” he warned and she giggled. “What are you gonna do?” She asked with laughter. “Da..da..,” they heard May’s tiny voice behind them and they both turned Immediately. “Oh no, she just called daddy!” Daren exclaimed. “No, that’s not possible, I think she meant, mama,” Melisa argued as she shook her head in disbelief. “Say it again, baby!” She could hear Daren saying to the baby as he knelt in front of her. “Da da,” May’s tiny voice came again. “Wow

    “Oh, look at my beautiful baby,” Rita cried as she watched Melisa stepping into the house with May strapped to her chest with a baby carrier. She was dressed elegantly in a yellow ankara Jumpsuit and black stiletto heels. “Rita, I’m not here for this,” she said anxiously as she walked to the couch. “So, you won’t let me touch my baby?” She asked with a frown as she followed after her. She sat on the couch and sighed heavily as she unbuckled the Carrier to free baby May. “Come here, darling,” Rita said with a smile as she carried the baby who was eager to meet her. “Such a princess,” she remarked with a chuckle as she played with the baby. “Rita, what’s the situation?” Melisa asked at once. “Still the same. 20 million naira and nothing less,” she replied. “Who does he think I am?!” She thundered. “He thinks you’re the daughter in-law of a billionaire family, and your husband is now CEO of the billionaire wine company,” she stated. “He said that?” She asked in disbeli

    She couldn’t help but smile as she watched May dancing in front of the 63 inch tv on the shelf. They were at Rita’s place that afternoon and May’s giggles filled the living room as she danced excitedly to the cartoon music playing on the tv. “So, Daren asked about the transfer you made yesterday?” Rita’s voice came from the dining table where she sat, chopping onions. “Yes, I told you, he is becoming suspicious,” she replied from the couch. “You shouldn’t give him any room for suspicion. I’m glad you came up with the Idea of transferring the money into my account,” Rita said. “Yes, that was what killed it, else, his suspicions would have risen so high,” she said and Rita smiled. “Um..did you transfer the money to that bastard already?” She asked. “Um..yes..I.did,” she replied Immediately. “Oh, let me prepare this delicious Jollof rice so fast.

    The phone kept on ringing and she dismissed the call as she saw Daren’s eyes fixed on her face. “You have a call,” he pointed and she nodded sheepishly. He sighed and walked away from her. She heaved a sigh as soon as he walked away and she saw him proceeding to the bathroom. She stood up Immediately and hurried out of the room. She hurried past the passage and proceeded to the balcony. She could still see the phone ringing in her hand and she answered the call Immediately. “What do you want?” She asked in whispers. “I don’t know the game you and your friend are trying to play with me. I need my complete money, plus adds on for my time wasted,” he said seriously. She chuckled and shook her head slowly. “You bastard, I’ve paid your money already, and whatever that happened between you and Rita is none of my business,” she said and he didn’t reply. “And talking about adds on? You must be sick! You ain’t getting a dime from me any longer,” she said, confidently. “That’s

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.

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.
