Slow footsteps could be heard as they walked into the room, glamorously donned in black expensive outfits. Hand in hand, they walked into the luxury bedroom where they could see Elsa Boseman sitting elegantly on the black couch, sipping wine with a laptop placed on her legs.

They stopped as they watched her drop her glass and typed words into the laptop.

“What can I offer you?” She asked without raising her eyes.

“Mother, we are sorry to disturb you at this hour. We have something urgent to discuss with you,” Dotun spoke with his eyes fixed on his mother who was deeply engaged.

“Five minutes,” she stated and they both took their seats on the couch facing her.

“Mother, it’s about Daren and everything going on in the family,” he continued.

“Straight to the point, please,” she snapped with her eyes still fixed on her laptop.

He sighed and gulped.

“As we’ve all seen, Daren is not ready to move on from Melisa and it’s making the company suffer, plus he is about to tarnish the family’s name

I love your books. I always wonder if these men ever stand up for themselves. His mom is telling him it’s his wife to be and he does not know her name. I am always curious does this still happen in this day and age.

    “Stefany, meet Daren, your husband to be.” he heard his mother say to the girl who was standing before him with her red thin lips wearing a broad smile.She tried to touch his arms but he beckoned with his hands for her to stop. He saw the smile disappear from her face and he turned to his mother who was smiling as she watched them.“Is this supposed to be a joke?” He asked with a deep frown.Elsa’s brows gathered deeply and she shot him a stern look.“Joke? When I talked about getting you a wife, you thought it was a joke?” She asked with a scoff.“Mother..” he tried to speak but the words became stuck in his throat. He turned slowly to the girl standing beside him and he shook his head in disbelief. Without a word, he walked away.“Daren!” He could hear her calling behind him but he paid no attention to her as he walked to the stairs.She turned to look at Stefany whose facing was looking downcasted.“Oh, baby girl, smile.” she urged as she placed her palms on both sides of her chee

    He walked into the chamber where the women were seated on the couch, sipping their wine gracefully.“My mothers, you both sent for me,” he said with humility as he lowered his gaze from their faces.“Daren, I heard you turned down the girl your mother brought as your bride,” Mrs Selina said with a wry smile on her lips as she gazed at his downcasted face.He remained silent with his head bowed a little.“Daren, you should know that I don’t trifle when it comes to my company. Your absence is making my company suffer. You have refused to move on with your life, you have refused to divorce Melisa and take a new bride,” she continued in a rather high tone.“Grandmother, I’m..I’m,” he tried to speak.“Hold it,” she cut in with a strong tone and he was sent into silence.“What do you want me to do? You think I will continue to watch you trifle with my company?!” She barked.“Mother, I will..,” he tried to speak again.“What do you have to say?” Elsa cut in and she stood up immediately.“We’

    They both watched as she was brought into the visitors room with her face looking so pale. A wry smile broke on her dry lips as she saw their faces. “Lisa,” Toyosi cried in excitement as she was brought to the table. “Toyo,” she called wearily as she sat on the chair. “How are you?” Evan asked from where he sat. “Hmm, same as you guys left me,” she muttered plainly with her gaze on the table. “Lisa, you will be fine. Everything will work out in your favor,” Toyo assured. She smiled and looked up at her face. “I don’t know how long I can hold on,” she said wearily. “You will be out soon, trust me,” Evan assured. “How is my daughter?” She asked. “She is doing okay,” Toyo said with a smile. “I don’t know how to thank you both for all you’ve been doing for me and my daughter. I can’t thank you enough,” she said emotionally as she wiped the tears that trickled down her cheek. “Lisa, you don’t need to thank us. We are only doing what we ought to be doing,” she said with a smile

    “Mother!,” She screamed as she rushed over to Elsa Boseman who was lying on the floor. “Mother!,” Daren cried too while rushing over to her. “Look what you’ve done!” Stefany cried as she pushed his hands away from Elsa who was lying unconsciously on the floor. Just then, footsteps were heard from the stairs and Charles alongside Diana could be seen running down the stairs. “What’s going on? What’s going on?” He screamed as he saw his wife on the floor with Daren and Stefany kneeling beside her. “Oh no,” he cried as he rushed towards her and lifted her up from the floor. “I’ll call the doctor right away,” Daren panicked as he reached for his phone in his pocket immediately. “How did she fall?” Diana asked Stefany as they all hurried up the stairs with Charles Boseman who was carrying Elsa in his arms. “Daren made her fall,” she related with tears. “Oh,okay,” she said with a smirk as she hastened her footsteps after her father in-law. * The atmosphere was a joyous one and smil

    Walking dejectedly into the living room, he could see the mean eyes of Dotun and Diana staring at him. He walked past them without stopping for a moment and he could still feel their eyes trailing after him as he headed to the stairs. He walked up the stairs and bumped into Stefany who was walking down slowly, wearing a long face. She stopped in front of him with her arms akimbo. He heaved a sigh as he saw her figure in front of him. Without a word, he walked past her and she stayed glued to her spot as she watched him walking up the stairs. He could feel his heart racing as he stood before Elsa Boseman’s room. He gulped and knocked on the door slowly. The door opened and he walked into the room where he heard Mrs Selina’s voice followed by chuckles from his mother. His eyes darted straight to the bed where Elsa was lying with his father beside her. He could see Mrs Selina sitting on the sofa opposite the bed and all eyes were turned in his direction as he walked towards them. He f

    Lying straight on the bed, his eyes fixed deeply on the Tv with his hand resting on his forehead. Ever since the last encounter with his mother, he had been restricted from going out of the house. He was still deep in thoughts when he heard his phone ringing on the other side of the bed. He sat up and reached for it Immediately.He looked at the screen and saw a strange number popped up in it. He picked the call and his head went numb as he heard her voice.“Hello,” she called.Without thinking twice, he knew it was her. It’s Melisa, he thought and his eyes bulged as he tried to maintain calmness.“Hello, are you there?” She sounded again.“Yes..yes..um..I’m here,” he answered nervously as he scratched the back of his head.“Um, I’m in front of the mansion gate. I want to speak to you. It’s just for a few minutes if you don’t mind,” she said.He kept silent again and he didn't know if he was happy or not.“Um,..I..I will be there,” he answered.“Okay,” she said and hung up.He stood u

    It was bright and sunny when the black Lincoln aviator stopped in front of the ELITE GLOBAL company. The door opened and she stepped out of the car, glamorously donned in black ruched dress and a fur coat hung over her shoulders. She took off her sunshades and looked up at the edifice in front of her. She turned to her husband who was standing beside her, holding a black umbrella over her head. “Elsa, do you think it is wise to have come over here?” He asked anxiously. “And what’s that supposed to mean?” She shot and he remained silent. “If you think I’m gonna cower in front of a mere man then you must be mistaken, my beloved husband,” she said with a smirk. “I’m not like you. I’m not a coward,” she added and looked away from him. He remained silent and his gaze lowered to the floor. Just then, men in black suits could be seen walking out of the building with a middle aged man in the middle of them, smartly donned in black suit. The men gave way for him as they walked towards Els

    Looking outside the window, he could hear a knock on his door. He heaved a sigh of frustration and walked to the door. His face pulled into a frown as he saw his father standing in front of the door, looking so downcast. “Daren, I need to talk to you,” Charles voiced out calmly. “Father, I need to be alone. I’m sorry, I can’t give you a listening ear at the moment. I need a moment to myself,” he said. “Da..,” before he could call again, the door slammed in his face. He swallowed hard as he stood dejectedly in front of the door. He heaved a sigh and rubbed his hand over his nape tiredly. He walked away from the door and proceeded to the balcony where he stood with his hands resting on the guardrail. He knew Daren was right. Right about him being the cause of their problems. If he had been man enough to take responsibility for his sons, then all these would have been averted. But rather, he had let his blind love for Elsa overshadow his senses of reasoning and right now, he was beg

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. He stood up immediately and walked towards them with his eyes looking at his father sternly.“What..what is going on here?” He asked angrily w

    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

    “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

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.
