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

    “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.

    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. It’s all in your decision

    FLASHBACK In the spacious luxury room, she sat before the mirror, brushing her long black artificial hair tenderly. A smile appeared on her red full lips as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Everything about her speaks splendor. From her glittering necklace and earrings, down to her black one shouldered cocktail dress which flows down to her toes. She heard the door creaking and she turned and saw an able- bodied, young man with spotless brown skin, stepping into the room. He was dressed charmingly in black fitted suit and red bowtie with his derby shoes leaving traces of sounds as he walked in stylishly. He stood behind her with his arms placed on the armchair she was sitting on. Their faces beamed with smiles as they stared at their reflections in the mirror. “Would you give me a second chance to propose?” He asked and she laughed, exposing her white set of teeth. “Oh, come on, don’t be silly,” she said as he took her hand and helped her up. “You look stunning, br

    The hall was thrown into a frenzy as able bodied men in black outfits appeared at the entrance of the hall. Walking in the middle of the men was Selina Taiwo, one of the wealthiest women in the whole of the country. She was clothed fully in a long black corset dress that flowed down her toes, with a long white fur coat hung over her shoulders. Her small round face, coupled with high cheekbones was heavily beautified with makeup which made her wrinkles less visible. She moved her slender, short stature with pride as she waved at the crowd who were cheering as she walked. Flashlights and cameras became the order of the day as everyone struggled to capture a picture of this woman who was one of the most influential women in the country as a whole. She stood up from her seat as she saw Daren running towards her. “Love, our attention is needed,” he said as he grabbed hold of her hand and they both walked away. As she stood with her husband alongside other members of the family, her

    In the small well furnished chamber, they both sat on the long black couch with their hands resting on each other, watching Elsa Boseman walk into the chambers. She was dressed in a long silver corset dress and black heels which made sounds as she walked. She took her seat on the couch opposite them and one of the men poured drink in the glass on the table before her. She crossed her legs stylishly as the glass was handed over to her, and her eyes fixed on the couple sitting together before her with smiles on their faces. “You said you have something to say, spill it,” she urged as she looked away from their faces. Dotun took a glance at his wife whose face was beaming with a smile. She adjusted her short black hair and cleared her throat. “Mother, we are here because of Daren. We witnessed what happened last night between him and grandmother and we are quite concerned about his welfare. I guess the issue of his childlessness is taking a great toll on him and that’s the reaso

    She ran into the room, panting heavily and she stood for a moment as she saw him walking over to the wardrobe. “Love, what are you doing?” She cried as she walked over to meet him. He paid no attention to her while bringing out his clothes from the wardrobe. “Daren!” She cried hysterically. He let out a sigh as he stopped before the bed with his back facing her. He could hear her sobbing behind him and his heart softened for a moment. He dropped the clothes on the bed and turned to face her. “My love, we have to leave,” he said. She wiped the tears running down her cheek immediately and she raised her eyes to his face. “Leave for where?” She asked in a rather high tone “Leave to a place where we can have our own peace. I can’t withstand the pressures any longer. It’s time to leave!” He shouted. “Really? You want everyone to see me as the bad wife who turned you against your family? You want to make me a bad woman in front of the public?” She asked. “Who cares what p

    “Father, are you saying we shouldn’t go ahead to arrest that devil?!” Evan yelled from the couch where he sat, staring at Charles with his eyes burning with fury.“Evan, Daren, keep calm and do as I say,” Charles urged as he looked at the young enraged men who were sitting opposite him.Melisa could be seen sobbing silently with Toyosi sitting beside her, patting her shoulders.“That evil woman made me suffer for years. 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.
