MABEL: I will accept on one condition.

JENNIFER: Which is?

MABEL: To bring in my twin sisters Monica to replace me here. She got up to go but I stopped her. “Hold on please, are you a twin? She replied with a tone of triumph. “Yes, I am” nodding her head in affirmation. In all my entire life, I have never seen such a trickster. We needed time to think this through. 

Mabel: I think you two will have to think through. I (pointing to herself) will be waiting. By the way, my twin sister’s name is Monica. I’ll leave you two. She left us thinking. Demola broke through the silence and said “you mean this lady is a twin? The sister may even be worse than her I’ll bet she will return to revenge on behalf of her sister. What do we do? Is there a way out?

JENNIFER: I feel we are hedged here. We need to accept her offer and stop dragging things. It is left to you, my love. You need to control your appetite, you know what I mean.

    Monica called me later in the day. I had stored her number in my phone contact. She felt like greeting me. I appreciated her earnestly but was still conscious of warnings to be careful. I guessed I was a little bit tense. Is like she sensed something is wrong, because she said, “hope you are Okay, Jennifer?” “Very much okay, Monica, thank you for your care.” I had said to her.I was wondering why she refused to mention Demola’s refusal to drop her at the junction. Is she pretending or is she sincere? I find it difficult to access her and I wondered why. Could you believe she called me again to ask for a date for the weekend? I told her I will like to check with Demola. “I’m yet to know his plans for us for the weekend.” She agreed and felt I should let her know when so that we can just go out sightseeing or visit a park, just to be alone and get to know ourselves better.We eventually picked Saturday morning by 10 am.

  • THE REJECTED STONE   THE CARE

    Before midnight, I had gone to the toilet five times. I decided to take septrin since I had it at home. Self-medication is drug abuse; we have been educated about that. It was like an emergency. I felt something was wrong; could it be the effect of too much ice cream? I felt getting weaker and weaker. I had to make an urgent call to Demola. He calmed me down and told me to wait till morning.He came in early in the morning to take me to the hospital. I had to take a drip, Monica called and I told her I was in the hospital. She came visiting immediately; she said it must be the effect of ice cream. Sincerely, I forgot to take a ginger and lime drink to break the effect. As soon as Monica arrived at the hospital, Demola excused himself and left for work, while she stayed with me. She was all over me. I felt relieved by her presence. She rushed out later to cook and get some toiletries for me. She was kind of wonderful. I kept wondering why she was the opposite of her sister or coul

    Monica’s comment gnawed at me all day and I couldn’t think about anything else. I knew I must wake up to reality. By the time I came back from work, I was duly exhausted, I slept off on the sofa when I heard a knock unexpectedly. I got up reluctantly to open the door, I saw an unfamiliar face, smiles all over, she greeted warmly as if we’ve each other for ages. “I’m your new neighbor, I came in last night, so I decided to introduce myself. My name is Martina, a widow with two teenagers, a boy of 16years and the girl is 14years old.” “You are much welcome Mrs. Martina, I’m called Jennifer, still single but not searching.” She laughed and said. “Wow! Good to know you are hooked for life. You must choose rightly so as not to suffer in the future. I love telling people my story; I will soon share with you to learn.” “Thank you,” I said. I never knew when my other neighbor packed out. It could be the time

    “Can you imagine what happened today? This lady called Monica also was almost choking me with her words. I was going to burst forth in turmoil when I hastily recollected myself and had to calm down my nerves, using the method of breathing in and out? She was suggestive and insinuating that I’m denying my fiancée on the bed.” “That was bold. She dared to say that to you?” Mrs. Martina said. “I never thought she could say that, but she did but I was able to manage the whole thing and I felt it ended well,” I said. “Wow, wow, that’s great news. All is well that ended well. So what’s in the offing?” Mrs. Martina spoke with a burden. “You cannot afford to destroy your relationship. I wanted to tell you to marry immediately but looking at it closely, I feel marriage is not the solution but getting a firm grip on your man. Let him see you, feel you all the day long ” Mrs. Martina exclaimed. I became confused and asked for the meaning of what she said, “ I mean, you should be at the cen

    After Demola left remorseful, I came back weeping. I felt depressed. I went to the room, I mean my bedroom throwing clothes, scattering my shoes, picking my pillow, throwing on the wall, I kept on throwing tantrums, weeping profusely. No one to talk to presently because I didn’t feel like bumping into my neighbours to discuss a thing. She needed her privacy too. I felt like doing something crazy. I couldn’t take it anymore. I picked my phone and dialed, it was Paul. I knew I was wrong, so I cut the call.Thinking it was a missed call I knew he felt I was genuinely calling not knowing I had changed my mind in repentance. I picked his call. “Hey boy,” I said jokingly trying to hide my pain. “It seems you need me, something tugging at your heart, and need to get it off your chest. Behold your gist mate. I’m all your tonight, let’s go for a ride. I’ll come to pick you.” Thirty minutes after he came in with a gladdene

    “Can we please forgive ourselves?” Demola had called. The mom had been on his neck concerning the wedding. “I need to visit her and get to know her. I had said.”Demola took a break from the office and so did I. we travelled home to see his people. I was curious to know if I would be accepted by his mom. I needed to please her. I had to change my look to look more mature, took clothes that would cover my body properly. I wouldn’t want a mother-in-law that would be looking at me disgustingly because of my style of dressing. I was conscious of my looks based on what I heard him say about her. She is a strict disciplinarian, a teacher in secondary school, a no-nonsense woman. She was a matron in her college for several years before she retired to begin a clothing business, which is her own.She takes care of girls in the boarding hostel. She never tolerates indecent dressing. She flogs disobedient students. She had zero tolerance for skimpy dress

    I was surprised to see Mrs. Martina, my neighbor coming in with fried rice and peppered chicken. “All these for me?” I said. “Sure, you are so much loved, here, take them. Tell me, how were your mother-in-law and his siblings?” I chortled, “you love chatting.’ She cackled. “I knew you are eager to hear my story. I’m glad to inform you that my mother-in-love is a golden mother and my golden adviser. She is one in a million, cordial, generous, charming, cool, and collected.” “I’m delighted to hear that. You even call her mother-in-love, not mother-in-law. You have a cordial relationship then. Keep it up, girl. Did I hear you well? You said she is your golden adviser.” “Sure, she is my good neighbor, can you believe she said, men are prostitute and I need to watch and pray for him?” “o yea!” (Mrs. Martina) “as if she knows her son has weakness of ladies, she recommended good behavior towards him.

    “I can't do my shopping here, I have to do it in Dubai city.” I spoke to Demola. “my Diamond.” I spoke excitedly. “You mean, I’m not your gold? Why Diamond?” Demola asked in curiosity. “Well, I love diamond rings and diamond is a precious jewel and goes with your name. Diamond, I believe means, not comparable. It is a gemstone that sparkles. And you, my love, is my Diamond. Happy now?” he started humming: do re mi fa so la ti do; do ti fa so la mi re do. Shaking his head and enjoying his music. Then I knew he approved my calling him Diamond. When he was done singing, I was watching in amusement.He sat me down and asked me the reasons why we should take a vacation and do our shopping in Dubai? I went nearer, sat very close to him, use my hand to caress his hair, then romantically whispered to his ears, "My dear Diamond, my gem, my love l heard about Dubai city in the United Arab Emirates, and I know it's good to do my

" Sir, I -I am sorry.".I stuttered. He looked at me with mischief written all over me and said, "Meet me at Kenson Hotel, room 109 tonight unfailingly. I let out a scream then left his office in great dread. My fear has come upon me, I whispered more to myself than anyone.

Power is given to dominate forces of darkness in Christ.Now, I know how to resist the works of the devil. I will keep on learning. I'm ignited by the spark you started in me.

But he also recollected several things. He saw that his misbehavior towards his wonderful wife, Jennifer was a result of negative influence from the power of darkness. He was wondering where he contacted such spirits. It was getting clearer to him that his lust for women was far from ordinary. His sleeping with various women causes an evil effect on him. He rejected his beautiful wife because of the power of darkness. There is a spirit that works in the sons of disobedience, he recalled that the pastor called it, the prince of the power of the air. It is a spirit he contacted while he went to the river with some of his friends. He went there by the influence of these demonic spirits.He was thinking of the situation when he was very young, one of their maids who had a special love for hi

  • THE REJECTED STONE   THE END?

    We lived together, as a family for a week without any interference from the kingdom of darkness. Sweet love, beautiful moments, it was more than a honeymoon. I called it' 'sugarmoon' if there is anything like that. It was blissfully glorious with no trace of the accursed daughter of Delilah. Chatting gleefully with Mrs. Martina and my sister about a type of marriage I had dreamt about. It was my heaven on earth. When we all thought it was over, then the villain appeared from nowhere in Demola's office. He called me immediately in panic. She strolled in majestically looking stunning and wearing a plastic smile, " Demola my husband, you must have missed my absence? Tell me you did, and I would not disturb you again, "she said deceptively. She drew near to kiss him when he pushed her so hard on the floor. She started bleeding from the nose. Demola rushed her to the hospital. Like a joke, it was becoming another thing. It was confirmed that she was heavily wounded and dying. We st

Jennifer stayed for some days with her baby Paul Cole Brown(PCB) and decided to return home with Demola, her husband. They were able to return home but Demola could not stay, for there was an invisible hand manipulating him. "Demola, what is the problem with you?". He started to act funny, in an uncoordinated manner. He could not respond to my question rather, he told me he was going back. I knew it was manipulation which he could not explain. I left him to go away. Jennifer prayed throughout the night for the release of her husband. She fought with myriads of demons. At a time, she found herself shouting, " Lift your heads

    I took my baby, Paul Cole Brown, my bundle of joy to the hospital for inoculations. I returned to the house to take care of him because he started to fret. I had to give him his drugs to relieve his discomfort. He was able to sleep off comfortably. I went to the kitchen to prepare food for myself when I heard a scary sound from the living room. I shook with fright but struggled to go to see what was happening, what I saw was dreadful, there were shadows, of fearful figures looking mean and dangerous in the whole wall of the living room. Suddenly these became humans coming out of the wall dressed like occultic men and women, coming towards me with, dangerous weapons like cutlasses, machetes, knives, blood flowing down their eyes. I heard the shriek cries of my baby boy, and I tried to run to his rescue but I couldn't, I was magnetized to the place. But I shouted with the whole of my strength, JESUS!!!. Immediately they vanished into thin air. Then the baby stopped crying and as I tri

It vanished out of sight. It was so fast that I thought I was daydreaming but I know she came to tell me to prepare. I sent for Mrs. Martina and we both engaged in prayers before leaving. We prayed for the baby to remove every spell on him. Demola came in as we were about to round up. He was able to join us in prayers. "Didn't I tell you, this is not a joke, but real? He called the lady shouting on top of his voice, warning her to stay clear. She laughed heinously.That night I could not sleep. This lady appeared with a different attire like a Queen of darkness with thousands of owls following her. She has maidens that flanked her left and right. I saw her giving orders that I should be killed and Demola would be her subject forever. My baby should be initiated and used to kill me. They all clapped at he

  • THE REJECTED STONE   IS SHE MONICA?

    There are many things I discovered about Monica that are still bothering me. How I slept with her before our wedding day is shocking. It was as if she cast a spell on me, like a sheep to his slaughter. I couldn't resist her moves, at that time I was held bound and I could only see Mabel, moaning the way she used to when making love with her. When she knew I was disturbed, she changed a bit. She claimed she was pregnant for me and later miscarriage. Right! Two months later, she got pregnant again according to her. But I couldn't remember sleeping with her at all. But she claimed that l did when she invited me to her house and I mistakenly slept but could not come back home again till the day after. I woke up with my clothes on and she claimed, she helped me put them on." Demola was almost sure she never slept with her since the day he did before the wedding. I found it difficult to believe though. What fallacy? Could it be true? How about the months you were in the U.K?"L

    Kneeling, he kept on begging, pleading guilty to his elopement with Monica. "The lady is evil, so devilish. I never knew what came on me and before I knew it, I had run away. It was not planned at all. She seized the opportunity to make me separate from you. Do you know that I never enjoy a relationship with her at all? Please forgive me and take me back for the sake of our son." Demola was pleading. "But you have a son with your woman, why not stay with her? How do I know you will not leave again? Our son shouldn't know you than knowing you with another woman. Let's pretend you are dead." I told him." Please, my wife, don't do it. Take me back. I can't live without you. I will die". " Demola, how could you lie to your mom about me just to continue your incestuous relationship with women. You are a disgrace. You ran away with another, go and continue to enjoy your baby mama." I said callously. "Fine, I will go and you will not have to see me ever again. Tell our son that I'm dead."
