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

Previously...Femi."Oh Iren?" Tunde asked."Yes, Pastor, Iren. maṣe jẹ alaibọwọ. sọrọ rẹ daradara ore mi (don't be disrespectful. address him properly my friend)" I chastised. I thought it was disrespectful for him to address a pastor by his name."Okay sorry, Pastor Iren. Till today I still don't get idi ti o fi fun u wipe itage ti a yoo ti ṣe milionu ati awọn milionu lati (why you gave him that theater that we would have made millions and millions from)" Tunde said."Ah Ah Ah. We don't speak about that. It was the right thing for me to do. Let's leave it at that okay?" I said.He shrugged and I excused myself to see my fiancée who looked distraught.-----------Femi.I went on over to where Ama sat waiting for me but she was not there. I looked around but I could not find her.“What?” I said under my breath. I knew where I had left her but now I couldn’t see her again,“Where the hell is she?” I said and took out my phone to call her. I saw a notification of a message from her.I

Previously…Femi."I love you more sugar." I said and she ended the call.Tunde sat in the corner tapping on his phone."Tunde arakunrin mi, jọwọ ṣe o le lọ si ọkọ ayọkẹlẹ ki o tọju ile-iṣẹ Ama nigba ti mo n tọju nkan nibi? ko ni gba gun. (my brother, please could you go to the car and keep Ama company while I take care of stuff here? it won't take long.)" I asked him."Ah Ah you don't have to say that twice. Be careful sha. Don't kill the guy." He said and smiled. I smiled back before he turned back and left.It was finally time to see the other one. Chike.—————Now.Femi.I went to meet Dan. I had to tell him that I was finished with Ife so that I could move on to the nextcell which was that of Chike. I dreaded even going to meet him but I had to. Just for my own sanity and peace of mind. This was the reason why Ama was not discouraging my going to meet with him. She knew how important it was for me to do this. She was also supposed to do this as well but she was not in the right

Previously…Femi."Alright all done I guess. I'm really anxious to see those losers behind bars. They don't deserve any form of happiness. Not after what they have done to my family." I said. I was not just upset for Ama, I was also upset for my brother Kola who was now permanently scarred with third degree burns that he would have to live with forever. It was really crushing. I didn't know what I would do to Chike when I saw him but I knew that he was not going to go to jail without receiving something from me. This was even though I promised pastor Iren that I was going to be careful not to be violent. He will have to scold me after this.Dan made the call for them to bring in Chike to the interrogation room. It was time to see my arch nemesis and also get him to confess———-Now…Femi.I walked back into the interrogation area but before I entered where he was held I stood ourside and did a little breathing exercise. I didn’t want to hurt him but I was so pissed at him that I could

Previously…Femi."I actually feel sorry for you. I mean I love Ama to death. I'd literally give my life for her, almost did even but I have never fought for a woman that's not mine and who does not even want me. That was quite pathetic. And she almost died because of you." I told him."But I wasn't the one who started the fire," he said."You enabled it!" I yelled. He was being very defensive and I was not going to have it. He went silent."If your trifling ass wasn't so obsessed with her would that fire have even happened? You might claim you wanted her alive but you gave Ife the ammo to do what she did." I said.He went silent.——Ama.I felt bored in the car and Tunde was taking forever to come out so I decided to call Radike to talk a little before Tunde would come out.“Hey boo,” she said on the line once she picked up.“Hey, see ehn we are currently at the station. We heard that these people are looking at releasing the perpetrators of evil on bail because we have not pressed

Previously...Ama."I don't even think I can manage that Radike. I'm scared and I haven't gotten over what happened." I said."Yeah... I know that but the only way you will get over it is if you talk to him. I'm serious now."I thought about it for a while... Could i?———Now...Femi.After a moment of silence and head bending. Chike finally raised his head. He could not for the life of him look me in the eye. As he should because he played really dirty and he knew it. He knew he messed up. I knew that deep down, he loved Ama and he almost got her killed because of his unhealthy obsession with her.“So, anything to say?” I asked him.Looking at me, his eye twitched and then he facepalmed. “I honestly didn’t know that Ife was like that.”“How did you even meet Ife. What’s your relationship?” I asked. The whole thing was looking weird in my eye so I wanted clarity.“Ife um, I tagged you with a Provate investigator as you already know and I got reports about Ife and who she was. How she

Previously…I sighed. He was sober. I felt calm now. "I forgive you. But it is not me that you harmed in the process of all of this. Ama is a mess right now. Her arms are temporarily scarred with burn marks and she cannot bear to open them when going out. She came here and had a panic attack at the thought of you. She hadn't even seen you at all. She wouldn't want to admit this but she is actually not okay and it is because of you. You need to set things straight with her." I told him. As much as I was involved in this it wasn't my place to give him forgiveness. It was Ama's. They needed to speak."I know all that but how can I even do all that from in here?" He asked."I am right here" I heard a voice say from behind us and the door slammed shut.I looked behind and saw Ama staring past me with a death glare in her eyes.I knew she was out for blood. I had so many questions but the most recurrent mine in my mind was What was she doing here.———-Ama.After my talk with Radike, I felt
