Ama

"Yeah I saw it and I'm.." I cleared my throat "heartbroken.. really heart broken and disappointed. I'm exhausted and I feel like for the past few months my.. I've been brainwashed into believing that man really loved me," I said sobbing.

"Oh it's okay baby.." he said and sat in the bed beside me. I went into his arms and he cradled me. I was acting. None of this was real. I was in tears before but that was before I realized that this was a plan to break my mental health and be helpless. To break my soul. I was not going to give in.

"I'm just so disappointed. I just got engaged to this man." I said whining. He was eating everything up.

Part of the reason why I was doing this was to get him to let me go or if he didn't then at least get my medication for me because I was literally in pain. I also needed food and water. There was a lot so I needed to play this very well.

I cried and sniffled while he patted my back soothingly. I was a very good actress though.

    Previously...Femi."There's no need for that. Ama has done a good job of that. She didn't even have to try. She did that just by breathing. I met her and I didn't want to hurt another woman's feelings ever again. That's how it is for me now. I do not exactly need anyone's help in convincing me that she isn't god sent to my life. I am so grateful for her, she is a gift. I just want to have her for the rest of my fucking life. And for you. If you want forgiveness. I forgive you. The worst is over anyways there is no point holding a whole grudge so. But I really do not think we should keep in touch. That will be disrespectful to my fiancée. Okay?" I said.She nodded. I was glad that she didn't fight what I was saying."So if that is all please take your leave. It was nice ironing things out." I said and she stood up and I walked her to the door."Thank you Femi." She said with tears in her eyes before she took her leave and I shut the door.I went back to my couch and saw my phone buzzi

    Previously....Femi"That hospital was where Ama was treated for her kidney failure. He probably went there to get her meds for her because there is no fucking way that he went for treatment. It's a specialist hospital. He's definitely the one that has Ama. He's keeping her there. We need to hurry and now!" I stressed."Don't worry, we will get her in time. I have more information. The one that's trailing the lady.. um Ife? Yeah he just also texted me with the address of the exact same place. So Femi, you were absolutely right." Dan said.I let out an exhale of relief. "Oh man oh man oh man. We need to get her out of there, she's not safe." I said."Then let's move" he said. Move we did. We went into the cars while Dan rallied his men who were scattered and we moved. Today I learnt the lesson to always trust my gut. It would never fail me.——-Now...Ama.I waited in boredom for Chike to come back and was still planning my escape. The only way I could devise to do that was to make fr

    Previously...Femi."Fuck" I yelled."Femi! ó ń jóná. o n sun !!! (Femi! she's burning. she's burning!!!)" kola screamed.I screamed and ran into the compound. I saw that the police had already apprehended Ife but that was not my priority now. I looked up at the small building and saw that there was a room burning. Ashes were literally falling from the sky.I ran inside the building, ignoring calls from the police and my brothers to come back. I didn't care. I had to save Ama. If I couldn't, then I may as well die with her.I went in and followed the way the smoke was coming from. Up the stairs.I finally found the room as I was was hearing Ama's heart breaking screams."Fucking hell!!" I said and tried to open the door but it was squeezed shut."Baby!!! Baby!!!" I screamed. The flames were scorching. I could feel it even though I wasn't directly in the flames."Fuck!" I exclaimed and started tearing up."Femi!!! Femi please help me!!" She screamed and I tried harder and harder."N

    Previously...Femi."You're right. I have to be strong," I said."Exactly..." Shawn said. Tunde was still quiet and didn't even act like Shawn came in.Suddenly the doctor came out. I ran to him with Matthew behind me."What's happening?" I asked the doctor urgently."Um sir you have to come with me." He said. Matthew and I went with him to his office leaving the others behind.When we got to his office, we sat down in front of him. Then he began."Your brother and fiancée are stable thanks to God. I'm your brother though. How much proximity did he have to the fire?" The doctor asked."Um, he literally jumped head first into the fire to get Ama." I said."So she was in the fire much longer than him?" The doctor asked."Yes. Why are you asking all this did anything happen?" I asked. I was scared now."Yes, you see I am not sure how everything happened but if I'm painting the clear picture here it would seem your fiancée was smart enough to avoid direct contact with the fire at least un

    Previously…FemiI knew how people always died from third degree burns or just never recovered from them. He was fighting for his life right now. The pain must have been so excruciating that he had to be put on sedation. I sighed. I really and truly blew it."Femi... why did you leave like that" Tunde asked me.I sighed and looked at him "I am the cause of all this. I am just bringing destruction to their lives and it sucks." I said."No no don't say that man. You're not the cause. It's evil people who have refused to move on and get a life, they are the ones who caused all this and not you, do you understand?" He said and held my neck looking me dead in the eyes.I started to tear up this was all so overwhelming for me."Do you understand? It's not you. You're not at fault. The people who are at fault have been apprehended bro do you understand me?" He said. I nodded slightly.The guilt still laid on my heart. I wanted to run far away. I didn't want to be around to cause more damage

"You know these things..." she said back making me laugh."Are you okay with the way you're sitting though." I said because she now looked uncomfortable."Chile I'm fine.." she said."Are you sure?" I asked her because even though she was trying to convince me it didn't look fine in the least bit."Okay no I'm tired. Let me lie down now." She said chuckling."Girl you are really finding my triuble." I said before standing up to help her on the bed.Once she was laid, I sat at her foot where I always liked to sit at."I can't wait till we finally leave this hospital. I'm tired of hospitals. The stench makes me sick." She said."I know right. You're probably tired of hospitals. I am too to be honest." I said. It was true. When the kidney failure happened. It was the same thing. We went to two hospitals and spent weeks. It wasn

    Previously..Femi.First was to see Dan, the head of POSSAP. Then I would see the criminals. First Ife. I wanted to know why she would even think of setting my fiancée on fire. I cringed just thinking about it. Everything felt so out of place now. I was physically and emotionally drained.I was driving and was almost at the POSSAP station when I made a u turn. I had so much anger in me that I couldn't go before them right now. I'd probably kill somebody.My brother was lying in there with third degree burns fighting for his life. I couldn't even go into the ward to properly see him. He was sedated because the pain was too excruciating.It was heartbreaking, gut wrenching and all in all excruciating to see what had happened to my brother and my love even though her situation was a lot more bearable, she was still suffering.I stopped the car by the side of the road to breathe properly. How was I going to quench the fire in me before it lit another person up. I wasn't up for this.Then

    Previously...Femi.I sat and waited. My heart was heavy and there was a reason why his face came and stayed on my mind while I was experiencing this.I noticed how my mind cleared as I sat in the church. Very slowly but I was feeling the weight being lifted.After a few moments, the door opened and I saw the man. Pastor Iren or Pastey. I stood up. The man was much smaller in person. He was wearing a shirt that said Imago Dei on the chest which was brilliant. He looked well put together but also casual at the same time."Hello, Femi. How are you?" He said once he got to where I was standing.I was in shock. His presence carried electric. He had a burning stare and his aura was just too powerful. I felt like falling to my knees and all he was doing was staring and smiling."Femi..." he said and I shook my head, coming back to reality."Hello Pastor Iren." I said and held out my hand he took. I felt a shock go up my arm.I took my hand away immediately and looked at my palm. The skin w

    Ama.The day had ended. I felt giddy to go home and tell Femi all that happened today. My dream was being fulfilled before my very eyes. I was living in it. I really appreciated Femi's dad for giving me this opportunity. I was very grateful.Femi texted me, telling me he was downstairs and I ran into the elevator without knowing, meeting Tola there. "Ha, hey bestie... why are you running like that?" He said with an amused look on his face."Running ke, me? Never" I said, feigning ignorance of what I just unknowingly did."It's only man that will make you that excited. Femi is here isn't he?" He said.I folded "Yes he is." I rolled my eyes "I'm just happy to finally see him that's all. He's been MIA throughout today." I said."Ahn ahn why?" Tola asked."Well he's been in a meeting and I get it you know. Today is his first day at work since the transplant so I understand. They were probably doing an organizational meeting of some sorts." I said."Okay I get it. Anyways how are you enjo

    Femi.I felt so bad for not answering my fiancée. I looked and saw a text from her. “Hey, I know you’re probably busy. You wouldn’t believe what just happened. I’m so happy. Gahhhh call me when you can. Ly x” the text said.I didn’t want to dampen her own mood in any way. She seemed very happy about what was going on around her. I was still sad and emotionally downcast and I knew if I spoke to her in this mood she was going to leave everything she was doing and appear in my office. I would really appreciate her presence now but I also didn’t want to spoil her happiness. I decided to text her saying that I was going to be in a long meeting and I would come pick her up when she’s ready to go. She texted back for acknowledgement. I dropped my phone and sighed, placing my head in my hand. I seemed to be doing that a lot.In my mind, I was trying to picture how this woman could even be remotely related to me. I had to keep telling myself “my parents are dead”. Whoever this woman was, she

    Femi.Today was a good day. I was very giddy while entering the office and it wasn't even about anything that I did or was going to do. I was just very glad that Ama was finally getting her flowers. It was vivid in my mind how she would always talk my ears full on how many ideas she has for the Lays project even when it was not set in stone that she was going to handle it with Kechi industries. She had so much passion for this that i knew she was going to do very well with it.As i walked into the office i was greeted by the front desk representative and before i could leave the lobby she said "There's someone here to see you sir. She said she is your mother." She said.I frowned. My mother never came here before. It was strange that she was here. "Okay where is she?" I asked. I hoped for her sake that she didn't send my 'mother' to my office."The conference room" she said. I sighed and walked in to my office first to drop my laptop and gadgets before going downstairs back to the con

    Ama."So, the Lays project was actually suggested by me for business continuity. We were brainstorming for strategies to have more leverage in the manufacturing market and I came up with this. We already have a deal with Pepsi who are the primary owners of the Lays brand. It is such a big brand in the US. Now we have to latch on to the brand more to be able to keep our relationship. We already have the Quaker Oats deal because we asked them for it and that is why Quaker Oats is no longer an imported brand. Now is the time to take Lays. This will mean that Lays would be cheaper here in Nigeria and would make more sales, generating revenue for the company. We need to design the product and pitch it to Pepsi for approval and rights." I said. Once I was done with my speech, there was a roaring thunderous ovation for me. Even the HR manager who looked scornfully at me before was ecstatic. I felt good indeed."Any questions?" I said once I was done with my presentation. I had shown them a c

    Ama.The meeting went from project to project until it finally got to my turn. The Lays Project. Shawn smiled when he saw it. He had texted me before today that I had to come and defend the project in front of the board. They had approved it but wanted to know if I knew what I was doing. They are very unserious because I was the one who came up with this idea so what more did they want? I however, tried to study what had already been rendered and made slides to display what I was about to say.I stood up and walked over to the front of the conference room and started my presentation. I was looking around at the faces before I started and my eyes landed on Shawn. He gave me a small smile and a nod. I felt more confident as I was feeling nervous before.

    Previously...Femi."Wait I actually told the doctor to still do the test with the fetus they removed. I know it's dark sided but I don't want to be beriddled with grief that's not mine to bear. Because I think it's my fault. If I wasn't shagging some girl and actually answered the phone on time maybe they could have saved the baby you know." Tunde said."There was no way that you could have known," I said."How long till the test comes out?" Kola asked."By tomorrow." Tunde said."So calm the fuck down. If the baby is really yours then you can now cry as much as you want but I am sure that the baby isn't yours. That girl is a slimy snake." Kola said.. "As for you, I will call Dad's therapist. You need to get yourself straight after the damn drug use." Kola said."Okay. I don't want dad to know though" Tunde said."He won't know don't worry. Therapists don't snitch on their clients. Even if Dad will definitely know you're seeing the therapist, he won't know why and think it's for your

    Femi.Tunde just stood there staring at us but we didn’t waver. We had to intervene. Tunde did not look good in any capacity at all.“Tunde you need to speak.” I said after a while of silence.“Why? Why do you guys think that something is wrong with me?” Tunde said while twitching, even though I doubted it before now I was sure that he was using.“God! Tunde where did you get the drugs from!” Kola yelled, he was not having it. Tunde was getting irritated now.I held Kola’s shoulder. “If you come at him like that he won’t say anything,” I said to him.I looked at Tunde, “The reason why we think you have a problem is this,” I pointed at his appearance,“You’re really insecure about your hairline but your hair is growing out, you never let that happen for anything. You didn’t even wear a cap to cover it. You’re dressed like a homeless person. Shirt not tucked in, tie loose, clothes rumpled. No suit on a Monday morning that’s very unlike you.” I said.“And let’s not forget the uncontrolla

    Previously…Femi."Well after all this it seems like I have to get an executive assistant because the work is plenty. I need someone to keep track. This just means that our company is growing day by day and I am proud of everyone and the work they have put into this while I was away. Thank you so much. Speaking of our company growing, it may seem as though we have made enough money for us to raise salaries. You all have done a wonderful job. I will liaise with HR. Expect those emails." I said. Everyone cheered and I liked to see smiles on their faces. They would only be happy to work for us when they are happy with the benefits they get.Once the meeting ended we cornered Tunde in the conference room, just the three of us and I used my phone to shut off the surveillance cameras so that we could effectively speak to our nit wit brother.———-Femi.“Oya what is going on with you, quickly.” Kola said.“I don’t understand why you guys are attacking me like this” Tunde replied.
