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

Previously...Femi.—— Ife's flashback—— I lounged about in my living room after a nice date with my boyfriend Femi. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to call someone like him mine. I was so in love. He was the sweetest and most genuine person ever.A knock on my door brought me out of la la land.I went and looked in the peep hole and it was Richard. My ex. I wondered what in Gods name he was doing here.I opened the door wider for him to come in. He was wearing the usual grey sweatpants and a hoodie with a flannel shirt creeping out from underneath.I closed the door and came to stand in front of him. "So now what do you want?" I asked."Oh? Where is your roommate?" He asked."She moved. I'm here alone now." I said."So you can now afford this place by yourself. I know the lease has ended so you are paying for this alone? Last time I checked you had no job," he said.I hadn't told him that I was in a relationship with Femi. Femi had posted me on his social media so I guessed he sa
