I looked at the time, it was almost 9am in the morning. I saw the tray of breakfast beside the bed and Ohio stood staring down at me. He was all dressed in a jean and a colourful Tshirt. I couldn’t even look at his face when I remembered last night and he was trying to make me comfortable with his smile but I still feel cold inside.“Good morning beautiful. Your Dad called to check up earlier. They want to know how you are doing and I told them that you are still sleeping. We will have some more fun before driving back home. So eat some breakfast…get refreshed, dress up and let’s join your parents for some coconut and sun bath. I hope you are with your sun shade…if not then you will have to use mine. He did not mention about anything that happened last night. I hope he will never mention it because I will feel humiliated. I try to reply with a nod of head as I went to the bathroom to do every necessary. I also had my bath. I came out all dressed and had a small bite from the served
“Are you always happy when you see others unhappy? Does making others angry, bitter, sad…does it make you happy Melinda? Your lifestyle and attitude affects everyone, me…Mom and also Dad. Cole especially. Why do you spend so much strength fighting when you can do better than that? We hardly agree on anything…. always at log head and getting older and older with it. I allowed you to always have your way because I wanted to be the bigger person but hey…there is a limit I can take. You really trolled me pitifully last night, the emotional pain was far more than the blow I gave you. But I’m sorry for the damage, which was why I came. I’m sorry for punching you on your eyes but it doesn’t mean I won’t do it again if you come hard at me next time. If not for Ohio both your eyes and your mouth would have being the size of my fist right now…Melinda burst off laughing, I waited until she was done. She turned to me and said.“Do you mean what you just said? I mean you could have done worst to
We had that morning and afternoon to catch up from where we stopped last night as we gathered under a coconut tree in a beach open sky house relaxing, talking and laughing with free spirit.Cole was lively than before, Melinda sat beside him as they talked about their relationship journey, Dad also talked about him and Mom and it was all splendid.We later went inside to pack our bags. It was time to say good bye to the resort beach.All through that morning and afternoon I avoid looking over at Ohio but when we were alone in the room, he walked upto me and tries to touch but withdraw back his hand.He doesn’t really like me I guessed. He was more dedicated to his life and his woman and I’m glad all this is almost over. I will try and get over him.“Becca, about last night….I meant every word I sai…I quickly stopped him from speaking further. I was not in the mood to talk about how I messed up in front of him. I still felt cold anytime I remember that I try undressing him and almost
and I can’t cope with his nonsense attitude anymore. He is pained because he has already spent so much on the wedding plans. I guess he is also tired of me. The only thing paining him is the money he has spent which is none of my business. I’m confidence that Ohio will be a better man than Sugar. I desperately want Ohio now than ever. I guess he is not yet back but I will keep waiting until he returns. Ohio will make my life better than it was. I will declare my true love for him and make him know how much I love him. I will tell him that I ended my relationship because I wanted to be with him alone. Hello Becca, please hurry because I’m waiting for you. I won’t be able to see you tomorrow because you will be at work, so I need to see you today. That Richie…I mean Sugar is a foolish guy. Ohio is now on board….I quietly ended the call because I sincerely don’t know what to say to Jojo. I looked over at Ohio, he was concentrating on his driving and had not said anything to me ever sin
The following day I was at work, I did my usual assignment but it was filled with error.When I summited the file I was sent back to redo it.I knew what the problem is which is concentration, I wasn't concentrating. My eyes was always at the door to know when Ohio will walk in.Through out the night after JoJo left with his card I couldn't sleep.I thought of calling him within the night but waved it off.I don't know what came over me yesterday, I was very angry with him for my selfish reasons. And jealous because of his woman.There is a better way to part but not the way I went about it.I had a sleepless night because of him and today again, I just felt useless with myself and with everything.The business day was over and Ohio did not come.I was angry at everything even as I got home, I stare at my dinner angrily. No appetite or strength to lift the spoon to my mouth.I had a knock on my door and rush to check, it was an unknown face. A young man maybe in his early thirties, d
He went into my boss office and remained there till closing time.As other staffs were leaving, I was slowly packing up like a snail with the hope that Mr Ohio will be out soon.He later came out with my boss, I quickly got up with my bag. I wanted him to notice me and he did.When my boss saw me he looked over at his friend, I guess he wanted to see Ohio's reaction.Ohio acted cool and also respond to my greeting as I walked pass them.I wish he called me back or say something to me but he didn't, he continued speaking to my boss as they stepped out.I felt a little better seeing him again after some days that seems like a year.When I got to my gate, I saw Silas driving out of his own gate which was a stone throw to mine.He waved at me from his car and I waved back.He parked the car beside the road and jogged down to where I was standing, he greeted me cheerfully."I'm driving out to get some fruits, vegetables and few other things for the house. all thanks to you, I know where to
Anita brought her wedding card for me, she asked if I can be her chief brides’ maid but I have already given myself a good retirement both from catching flowers at my friend’s wedding and also from being among the brides maid.My Dad almost changed my name to “a flower girl” because I go to other people’s wedding and return with a bouquet of flower. I was never lucky to be the one in a wedding gown.Almost every of my friends are far ahead with their husbands or fiance. I’m left here with no particular man to call mine.In three months’ time I will be completing 30years. Life has dealt drastically with me but not fully because no matter how hard it get, I still try to live every day at a time, I find reason to be alive. I don’t know how long living like this will go on but I don’t think I have any choice over whatever life throws at me.We sat and talked and I brought up the case of Jojo and Richard, and asked her why she did not inform me even after she discovered about their secret
“They are really trying here with their method of preparing meal, creating a time table for each day menu. Although this salad is not close to the one Lili once brought to the office for you and I had a share from it. I couldn’t tell you but it was well prepared and garnished. Have not tasted anything like it before.The lady was not speaking to me, she was trying to create a conversation between her and Ohio. If Lili cooks so well and even brings food to his office which means Lili is his wife or wife to be.Ohio nodded his head while taking a spoonful of the coleslaw. He later wipe his mouth with a serviette tissue and sad.“Lili is a great cook, she knows how to make different dish and I have tasted almost all her new discovery because she won’t let me be until I do. Some I like while others I don’t want to try again. `The lady laugh. Ohio looked up at me, I pretend to be concentrating on my food. I wanted to get up and fly away from their presence but my legs may not be able to
Jojo came.She was holding a cup of wine which she deliberately spilled on me but acted like it was all a mistake.“Congratulations Becca. I'm sorry for spilling drink on your beautiful dress. You deserve this and you look good in your wedding gown…is not even something to argue over. I know you won’t believe me but I’m happy for you. I caught your bouquet which means I’m the next in line. I met this sweet, handsome man when I was invited for a show as a video vixen. He is a hip hop musician and he is very cute. He also promise to get me a new car soon. hurrayyyy!….I’m very happy. The guy said he want a committed relationship and this time around I’m ready to finally settle down. Have I told you that you look good in your wedding gown and you are glowing too? Take a look at all this fine men all around here, wow. And the color of the day is top notch. One of the fine groom’s man I met here asked for my number after I went shooting my shot on him. I like him. So is either the musician

I had a great time with him teaching me how to swim. He laughed at some of my failed practice and I also laugh. We later went in to freshen up and have something to eat.Dora made another delicious meal that afternoon and I even asked her to teach me and she promised to do that.The day slowly went and night came. Ohio was free spirited. I stylishly asked him if he has forgiven me.“Do I have a choice over that? My royal majesty was sorry and I have to forgive her. I must confess that I felt hurt and disappointed by your word and each one was like a stab to my heart. All I wanted was for you to trust me Becca. I cannot hide anything from you. If I have any health challenge, I will definitely opened up to you no matter how hard it may be, even before I propose. i hate secrets and will not want you to suffer or regret because of me. I love you Becca and I try to prove that to you but you keep running ahead and destroying everything I planned. All my beautiful plans for you are memories
He never responded to the kiss but as I kept on with it, he began to respond.I didn’t want it to be just another round of kiss this time. So I decided to help him do the needful that night by trying to take action of every part of his body that I need to touch just to arouse him. I went straight to his pyjamas trouser. He suddenly stopped me and pull back my hands. “Sto…stop it Becca. I’m not in the mood for thi…..I didn’t let him complete his word, I stubbornly refused to be intimidated by his action and continued.He tried to get up from the bed and leave the room because I refused to let him rest but there was no going out for him.Since he was not in the mood, I will help him get in the mood but I need to see and feel what I haven’t fully seen before.I climbed on top of him and continued my drama. It took time for him to respond again and this time he looks worn out from my disturbance, Ohio saw that I wasn’t even ready to let go. I looked up at the time and it was 2am but I
“whaaaat! Are you serious right now by asking me such question? We are not having this conversation Becca. What has come over you...? He barked at me angrily while getting up to his feet. But I wasn’t ready to let go, we must tackle this and get to the root of it. I think I have kept quiet enough and is time to really know what was going on.“Answer the question Ohio. Don’t try to dodge from it because I’m fully ready to find out the truth. I deserve to know and if there’s anything you are hiding then spill it out and stop all this childish game. Tell me and make me understand, is better said out than all this confusing attitude that you kept pulling. “Becca, you are seriously asking me if I’m impotent or have issue with my manhood? And you expect me to answer you straight up? I’m trying to understanding the angle all this is coming from but I can’t help but feel insulted.“I never meant it as an insult. Is a very straight and simple question Ohio. But if you feel insulted then that
“Relax Becca, I will soon be leaving. I did not come for trouble…I came for peace. The cops do not have to know please. I wanted to inform you that I finally caught Silas. Yes, I found him where he relocated to. He was on a mission of deceiving ladies who are well to do. I called the cops on him and he was later arrested. The cops found out that two other women had laid a complain concerning him before. He is locked up now but I couldn’t recover all that he took from me. I and two other ladies that showed up after hearing of his arrest were compensated with just a token which can’t do much. I have to start my life all over again. Is really painful that the foolish Silas got me deceived with lies. He boldly told me that he will make me richer, famous and we will travel the world together. He wanted me to trust him and he also showed me evidence of countries he has traveled to and his fleet of cars and houses that he owned in different countries. After showing me those things which I th
after listening to Cherry’s confession, I was left speechless. Who could have thought that Cherry of all people will want me dead because she was in love with Ohio and hates the fact that he proposed to me.Cherry said she has been with Ohio for long as his secretary, and had tried to make her feeling known to him but he hardly pick interest or notice her. It was not just about being his secretary or working with him, she was also attracted to him and wanted him for herself. Her hope was that someday Ohio will be hers.The pain, disappointment and hurt that she felt when Ohio picked interest in me couldn’t be define with words. But she was hopeful that our relationship will crash along the way.Then Ohio decided to propose to me. That was the last straw that break the Carmel back. She couldn’t watch another woman take over Ohio who she was seriously crushing on.That was what led her into the plan of kidnapping me. She wanted the men to torture me until I die slowly. With that she will
I quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher and hide at the back of the door, waiting for his partner to come up suddenly so that I can smash his head with it. My legs shakes, I was weak and was ready to pass out any moment but the determination to live, especially now that my life was beginning to make sense, the thought that my long waited happiness was coming to stay kept me fighting hard. I will not allow the armed men to kill me before my joy is full. With God’s help I will survive this. I heard my name, someone was calling my name and it was Ohio’s Voice.He ran to the kitchen with speed, he screamed in shock when he saw the mess on the ground. He grabbed me to himself and lifted me to his arm. The cops where behind him. They lift the intruder from the ground as he was still struggling to pull off the knife, he was also bleeding seriously. They removed his mask and asked me if I recognized him but I have never seen his face before.I asked them if they have apprehended his partner
I ran back to my phone to call for help. The first person that came to mind was Ohio, I quickly dialled his line and waited as the phone was ringing. “Open this door right now! Open this door or we will force it open and it will be worst for you….They knew that I was awake after I turned off all the light.They were commanding me to open the door or the worst will happen to me if they force it open. Fear gripped me, I was confuse on what to do. I can’t open the door and watch them hurt me. I can hear them trying to unlock my door with something. I need to act fast before they will succeed in unlocking the door and come inside to attack me.What if they are hired assassin? What if they are kidnappers? What if they are armed robbers? How did they even pass the estate security and came all the way down to my apartment? Who could have sent them and why? Who are they? The only person I recently had a fight with and she came back threatening me was Jojo.“oh Jojo, she sent the men to
