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

Ama.While walking to the interrogation room where Chike and Femi were, I saw Tunde coming towards me. That took him long enough.“Wow Tunde. You took your sweet time didn’t you.” I told him.He chuckled and gave me a light hug. “Let me guess. That amebo man told you that I was coming outside abi. Don’t mind him. Anyways there’s this hot police lady I saw that I had to talk to first.” He whispered mischievously. I wanted to spank his head.“Ha Tunde. I thought you were following in Femi’s footsteps abi no?” I said.“No I am now, I am. But these things take a while plus Femi’s case was peculiar.” He said.I folded my arms. “How so” I asked him.“Well, you are his soulmate. It’s different. I remember the glimmer in his eyes when I caught him staring at you the day that you guys met. Even when he was passively wooing you. He didn’t fathom that he was in love with you yet. He didn’t see you coming I guess. I knew. Even Kola thought it was one of those things that we do but it was actually

Previously..Ama.Him and I walked together until we reached the interrogation room where Femi was currently interrogating Chike. I was still scared and taking deep breaths to calm myself because this was something I was always scared of. Seeing him again.When we got there, Tunde and I turned to look at each other. “Don’t be scared Ama, I’m right here. Femi is also in there. You can’t be hurt. Okay. He’s chained. He can’t hurt you anymore okay?” He said.I nodded and smiled. He squeezed my shoulder. And I hugged him.“Thank you” I said. He hugged me back before we pulled away. Now I was ready.——-Femi.Ama walked in with a very straight face and my mind was just there doing backflips wondering what the actual hell was going on here. She was very uncomfortable with even the thought of seeing Chike and now she was here? I didn’t understand it.“Ama?” Chike breathed out.I looked at Chike then looked back at Ama.“Ama baby, you don’t have to be in here actually.” I said and walked to

Previously….Femi.“Okay that is new information. But come to think of it what if, what if it helps her heal instead. What if this is what she needed instead of sitting with a shrink for hours who will kuku quote self help books to her. Have you thought about the fact that she might actually need this talk just to get it out of the way.” Tunde said.I sighed, trying my hardest to calm my nerves down. It was not working but I suppressed it because I didn’t want to lash out for the wrong reason. I didn’t like that my fiancée was in any form of close proximity to Chike.I sat down in the waiting chair and put my head in my hands. I was hyperventilating already.“Are you okay? She will be fine bro” Tunde said and sat beside me.“I hope he doesn’t trigger her.” I said.“I think she can handle herself alright.” Tunde said.I really hoped it wouldn’t be that serious.———Now…Ama.After Femi left. I stood looking at the door for some seconds before turning around to face my nemesis. This was

Previously..."Okay let's just say that sounds good and sounds like something that makes sense. Okay you acted so unloving until I broke and left you. Why did you start pursuing me again if you didn't want me before?" I asked him."Who said I didn't want you? I did want you so much. I even thought that as I made money I was going to spoil you silly. But then I started letting the money get to my head. I am very sorry for the amount of pain I caused you. I didn't know that I would be like this I promise." He said."You really started this whole mess. Why? Why? The obsession. Why couldn't you just let me go." I said and sat there waiting for an answer.——-Now.Ama."Ama, I'm so sorry I swear. The reason why I was so obsessed with you, now that I think about it, was my very fragile ego. I was always in competition with Femi. I hated how smug he was all the time. His popularity did not help. He was a whole influencer on social media. He was trending every other day even though they were

Previously…Ama." Nobody is talking about you dying. Now here is the thing. I absolutely acknowledge the fact that you were not in on the arson that took place that night so what i am going to do is this, I will talk to them to give you a plea deal. You speak against Ife and you get the sentence of a kid who stole candy and was sent to Juvy. About 18 months. I am not a lawyer but i know that it can be done. What do you say?" I asked him.His eyes lit up immediately I said that "oh yes definitely. Thank you." He smiled and wiped his eyes. I also wiped mine. "can i get a hug?" he asked as i stood up.I looked at him skeptically. I wondered why he wanted a hug all of a sudden. "No, we are not buddies." i told him and walked away, slamming the door in my wake. I was finally free.——-Femi.I paced and paced around after almost entering the interrogation room out of desperation and my brother Tunde gave me a resounding knock on my head. I wanted to kill him for that but I understood him
