“She mustn’t know I allowed what happened to happen” I woke up to a harsh pain on my head followed by voices talking.

I muffled the groan that wanted out of my mouth and tried to open my eyes but they refused to.

Could be the heavy pain in my head, can't handle another harsh blow from the rays of light.

“I really want to get rid of her but I cant at the moment, I need to sort out some things before we can proceed to the next stage,” he said.

“But sir, can I ask why you want her dead?”

“No you cannot” was his reply.

“But she I-”

I heard the cocking of a gun and someone being shaved against something and some things being knocked off to the ground.

“You do as I say and stop with the questioning, I am the boss here remember that. I pay you and you obey, are we clear?” I heard no response from whoever he was talking to “Are we clear?”

“Yes boss” the man replied and I heard more things being thrown on the floor and m

    Saturday came by really fast and yesterday dad told us he would like to take us both (I and Danielle) out for a ‘Father-Daughter’s Day’exciting right? We don’t really know where he is taking us to but we are excited about today. Daniel is spending the Day with Rebecca while mum is going to see her mother. I decided to hurry up so I give mum the bracelet I made for grandma. “Are you done already?” I banged on the door that leads to Elle’s room and got ‘Yeah’as her reply then I went outside my room and next to mum and dad’s room. I knocked and heard no reply then knocked again still no reply then decided to go downstairs to check them. “Mummy, Daddy” I called out and saw them on the dining eating. I stopped in my tracks when I saw the mood they were in. He was feeding her but stopped when I talked and turned to look at me. “Sorry,” I said and took steps backward to go up the stairs. “No, it's fine, w

    We arrived at the park in Apapa and I felt that deja vu and smiled then turned to look at my twin and she was already looking at me with a smile on her face. “You remember eh?” she asked and I nod. After about some minutes of looking for where to park, dad finally found a spot, and thank the LORD it was closer to the entrance of the park. On our way here, dad told us he wanted to take us to the beach first then to ‘Ikeja shopping mall’, then to ‘Shoprite’, before we will go to the local ice cream place in our street then back to the house. But instead, I and my twin agreed that we wanted to skip the beach and go to Apapa amusement park instead then we will go to the shopping mall then the ice cream place then back home. Great planning eh? Now, we are here and it feels great to be here again just that I am here with my twin and father, not my dear Leo. “I know you remember your time here with Leo, eh?” she nudged me wh

    “Wow. This place is lit” I said admiring the hall of the cinema as I am Leo got in after purchasing our ticket. “You like?” “I love” I answered in a much deeper voice than him making him chuckle. “I am really glad you finally decided to come after rejecting me the first time,” he said and I threw him a glare. We chose to stay at the top so we can not only get a clearer view but also overlook the people that would be settling down soon. I sat at the edge and he sat beside me then placed our popcorn and drinks on the floor beside us. “You know very well I told you, dad wanted to take I and Danielle out on a --” “Father-daughter day” he completed for me. “Yeah, and you said it was fine at that we would go some other day, don’t make me feel like the bad person here” I warned and he rolled his eyes Then he put his arm around me and I rest my head on his shoulder and smelt his very familiar cologne and placed my chin on his s

    We have been in that position for about ten minutes now and he isn’t saying anything. Just looking at me and me at him with my arms crossed and his in his pocket. I am still waiting for him to give me a valid reason or rather an explanation as to why he thought it was cool to come over to my parent's house without telling me first, not like I would want him here or anything but still he would have told me. My parents aren’t even around yet, just my twin upstairs and me just coming from a very lovely time with my dear friend, Leo. Now I came home to meet someone who just wiped that smile I had not long ago away. What if Leo decided to follow me in and meet him here in the parlor? What will he think? Will he get mad? Yeah, I think he would, considering the tension around them whenever they are in the same vicinity. He would be so, so angry and I really would not be able to deal with two babies going back and forth at each other. I can't handle that. Not

    “I am just confused,” I said arranging the not scattered clothes I brought out of my wardrobe then back into my wardrobe as I explain my ordeal to my twin sister. I haven't really been myself since that kiss with Chris and that was yesterday. When mum and dad came back yesterday, I had to tell them that I had a headache and needed to sleep it out and was grateful they didn’t push further. I was feeling numb and I cried all night, reasons… I couldn’t say. I just have not been myself since that night. A beautiful day spent watching a movie I have always wanted to watch with an amazing person was ruined by the actions of another and all in one day. I am just confused and conflicted and… I don’t know. I really don’t know. “What should I do?” I asked aloud and stopped putting the clothes in my wardrobe then turned to my twin who was still sitting on my bed watching me. She was not looking happy either. I guess she is as sad for me as I am.

    I have been calling Leo for almost an hour now and he isn’t picking up his calls, I even sent text messages but nothing. I used Elle’s phone and he didn’t pick up. Maybe I should use Daniel’s phone? But he might ask questions and started getting suspecting. I don’t want anyone in on this as we are. I want us to just solve this and come to a conclusion. I really don’t know what we should conclude on but we should just agree on something. Something that would not leave everyone heartbroken. I sighed and stood up from my bed then went to bring out a tummy loose trousers and a white crop top then I matched it with a pair of silver gladiator sandals and put my hair in two curly buns. Danielle went out with Albert and mum and dad went out after they came back from church so I am guessing Daniel will be in his room, which I hope he is. Quickly I wore my chosen clothing and spray some perfume then took one of Leo’s sweaters I managed to sneak from his

    Monday came by fast like a flash and it made me so nervous. So nervous I was tempted to stay home and forget whatever will happen today. I was trying to be positive that things would turn around for good and I would have my best friend back and be able to tell Chris off but every single time I feel like the negativity rush in so bad. Like I was going to lose something. I don’t want to lose anything or anyone. I just wish nothing happened that night or I didn’t allow what happened to happen. I wish the day should be reversed to when I and Leo had a nice day and a moment when he came to drop me home and I wanted to go up to my room smiling at how nice it was for him to take me out and show me a good time. I wish Chris never came in and I didn’t allow him to talk and just sent him away from my home. If only I did that this wouldn’t have happened. Danielle said he came back to spend the night, if that night didn’t happen, we would have had

    “So, I am all ears,” Leo said and I looked at him not knowing where to start talking. School had already closed and I had to make sure to pack my stuff so I can talk to Leo seeing that he was clearly ignoring me and wanted to leave immediately after the school closed. I had to run to him feeling all flustered and sad. I don’t want to lose my friend. I haven’t had a friend like him. He has been most things to me and I duly wished I could give back the same amount of like he showers me. I told my siblings that Leo was taking me out and they shouldn’t bother about me since he would drop me off. I told him to let us change from our school uniform just in case someone sees us still in our school uniform after school hours. We don’t want anybody asking questions or that sort. So here we are in front of that ice cream shop he would take me to almost all the time but this time I am trying to make us stable. “What you saw that night was

With my dad wanting... no, trying to kill me and would have succeeded the third time if not for… Sighs I really don’t want to think about all that has been happening these past few months and so I don’t think too much and cause another depressing depression for myself again. The therapist I was supposed to see when I was little which whom I am having a weekly session told me not to overthink things too much so it doesn’t affect my daily life and so that I can concentrate on healing from what has happened. Although she said healing might be a bit difficult since I have started having flashes of what happened to me when I was little and it is causing some major trauma for me and it might or might not make me crazy that was why she recommended I shouldn’t think too much about it. So here I am in my room sitting on my bed in all-black attire, slouched over and playing with my fingers as I wai

    We all watched as emotions played on the judge face but he tried his best to ignore it.It is still like a dream to me, that my dad could do such to me and all those affection he showed where just for me to trust him enough so he can carry out his wicked plans successfully without me or mum suspecting a thing.That is the sickest thing I have ever heard anyone say and especially when that anyone is your dad.I am sick to the stomach and cant even look at him and see him as my dad.

    “Ba-”“Where is my daughter?” she cuts him off as she threw him an angry look but he just looked at her, unable to formulate any word to say to her.“Look bab-”“I SAID DO NOT BABE ME” she screamed at him and he was taken aback by her outburst.This was going to be the first time in so many years that he would be seeing her in such a state. She gets angry but not this angry and would never use this tone on him.Daniella is definitely to blame for this. He closed his eyes to keep the pent-up anger that seem to have built up in seconds then opened them and released a breath.“I asked where is my daughter,” she said again but more calmly now.“You need to relax, okay?”“Fine, I am relaxed. Where is she?” she asked growing impatient.“Trust me, girl, I am as desperate as you to know about our baby’s whereabouts,” he said try
