Previously…Femi."I get you I do. Anonymous then." Pastor Iren said."Thank you sir." I said and we moved on.We finally finished the meeting and then headed out. Pastor Iren gave me a big teddy bear hug. I didn't understand how he could do that considering how small statured he was but when he hugged me, it felt like he was bigger than he really was.Once in the car, Ama said "Congratulations. I'm really so proud of you babe.""Thank you baby." I said smiling at her. I felt so surreal after doing this,"How do you feel?" she asked."Yes Um. I feel blessed to have been able to do that. I mean I could have said, yeah let me make more money. But I have enough literally and it just didn't feel right collecting money from a church or a man of God that God literally revealed to me well, it didn't feel like something I should have been doing." I said."I know. But give me a hint. I am curious. How much would you have charged for the place. I was already waiting for you to drop the bomb." S

Previously...Ama.I shifted in my seat. I remembered I was still pissed about the name on the theater. I knew that it was built a long time ago but seeing that woman's name, the woman that was making me miserable left and right on the theater triggered me."Well, for what it's worth, I'm not mad anymore but seeing her name on that theater triggered me." I said."Oh I see. I'm sorry baby." He said and took my hand kissing it.I turned fully to him. As far as the seat belt could take me. "So I want to know. Did you love her that much to build a theater for her."He chuckled "see, I'm a hopeless romantic. You too, you know. If I'm dating a woman she will feel loved that it might overwhelm her. I thought she was my soulmate and I went above and beyond for her. She said she loved plays and wished she had something akin to broadway where people would be able to pay to see plays. I don't know if she was just lying because I love art but I thought she was genuine so I built it for her as a w

Previously...Femi.I grinned. I was so glad that she was now happier because I was worried that she wouldn't get better in her mood."That's more like it." I said and kissed her lips. I started the car and we were off to the first location.This place was quite special to me. It was the house I was living in before. A nice bungalow. Unlike my brothers, I wasn't keen on big houses yet and that was because of the fact that I was still a bachelor living alone. Tunde was living in a five bedroom detached house with a boys' quarters. All that space but nobody to use it with. He was all alone with occasional female visitors.We pulled in and parked in the compound."Oh? A bungalow. This looks cool." Ama said."Yes it is. This, was my first house when I came back from studying abroad." I told her.Her mouth hung open "what? Why did you now move?" She asked.I chuckled "It's big right? Is the penthouse not big too?" I asked her."It is but this is obviously bigger so why." She asked again."

Previously…Ama."Wow you have an amazing voice my love.." he said."What me? You were on fire there Mr Chris Jamie, Ray, Michael Jackson Fox Charles Brown?" I said.He doubled back laughing."The what now?" He asked."See you. You literally sounded like a pop star baby." I said."Babe I didn't know you can say crazy stuff like this." He said and came to grab my waist as we left the sitting room. Next stop was the kitchen. The huge space that was not secluded but in the same space as the living room but a bit far from it. The island had marble finish and there was a gas cooker, dishwasher and storage. A lot of storage."Wow this is one boujee ass kitchen" I said. "I know right. You know there is a saying that says that if your wife don't like the kitchen, don't buy the house." He said."Yup that is a million percent true and I love this kitchen" I said while walking around."Yeah it's pretty." He said smiling. He hadn't stopped smiling since we arrived and honestly I loved it. His s

Previously...Femi."Oh like Dami Hope..." she said."Yes like... wait how do you know Dami?" I asked. Dami was an Irish Nigerian Celebrity and he was on love island but he was a friend of mine. I had met him a while back in London and apparently, he knew me because of my popularity. His girlfriend Indiyah was also very nice."Yeah I do. He's a reality tv star in the United Kingdom. He always switches accents and lingo. He might be talking Irish now and then he switches really fast to American and then to Nigerian. It's a whole thing. Apparently like you said Irish people do that a lot." Ama said,"Yup they do. Anyways let's go see the remaining part of the house shall we?" I said.I stood up and helped her up. And then we moved."How do you even know Dami? It's like you know everyone under the sun at this point. Wow." She said smiling."Well... let's just say I meet a lot of people when I'm in London." I said."Anyways this place has three rooms and a den. Very nice huh. That den is

Previously…Femi."Oh it's fine. It's fine. You only underestimate my proactiveness as a Tesla driver in Nigeri, I won't have you stranded on the road with a dead car baby don't you worry about that." I told her."Thank you darling." She said.Ama cranked up some Johnny Drille as always and we moved. Ama loved Johnny so much that she went out of her way and used her own money to buy us, Tunde, Kola, Radike and Matthew tickets to his live concert happening in a few weeks time. It was quite annoying because I wasn't a big fan and I felt like girls liked him more than guys. I hoped that wouldn't be the case in this case.My phone rang during our ride to the new house. It was Dan, the POSSAP officer."Wow what does he want?" I asked looking at the screen of my phone and the road at that same time."Who's that?" Ama asked."Dan. The officer in charge of your case." I told her."Oh, answer it now. It might be something urgent. He hasn't called in a while." She said. She was right. Since I h

Previously…Femi.“Hello Dan…kedu ka i mere? (How are you man?)” I asked him. I always tried to reciprocate the language that was spoken to me. “Adị m mma. Miss Ama ọ dị mma ịhụ na ị dị mma ma dịkwa mma ugbu a. Ọ dị m nwute nke ukwuu maka ihe merenụ (I’m fine. Miss Ama it’s good to see you are well and okay now. I’m so sorry for what happened)” Dan said. What really struck me about Dan was how kind he always was to people. I had no idea if it was because of our relationship because I had none with him before Ama went missing. But now we were really blossom friends and I was grateful for that.“Thank you sir..” AMA’s said. Her voice came out shaking. Was she… scared. The ordeal must have done more to her than I realized.“biko nọdụ ka anyị buru ụzọ nwee obere nkata (please sit let’s have a little chat first)” he said and we obliged him.“So what’s been happening while we weren’t in contact?” I asked him.“Well, ọ dịla ọtụtụ ihe m ga-ekwu.

Previously….Femi.“So you finally remembered that you kept me here.” She said.I sat in the chair in front of her. “Have you finally come to kill me.”“I wish I was allowed.” I said with venom. My blood was already boiling just by looking at her face.“Of course you are. These people deprived me of a phone call and a lawyer at your behest I’m sure. So you could kill me and they will hide you.” She said. She was deliberately trying to get on my nerves and I was not going to fall for that.“Why?” I asked her.“Why what?” She spat.I kissed my teeth in annoyance. “Don’t have that tone with me, I was not the one who tried to fry your fiancé alive.”“You asked a question that didn’t have any destination. Clarify.” She said.“Why did you try to set her on fire? And don’t try to deny that it was you. You were arrested at the scene of the crime smelling like petrol. Petrol residue was also found on your jacket so you can’t even lie. Now why did you do it?” I asked. I wanted to erase any way

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. I noticed h
