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

Previously...Femi."So babe, what is it with this whole plea deal thing? I don't understand." I asked her in the most quiet way possible. I didn't want her to think I was becoming controlling. That was the last thing I wanted her to think."So I'm, Chike actually made me reason that. You know, I went into that place thinking he was just going to gaslight me and try to manipulate me but he came clean. He at first tried to blame Ife for the fire but I told him quite clearly that the fire was not the only thing that went wrong. He was the beginning and end of all my problems. Ife was just a pawn in his game. She started a fire he had no intention of starting and I also know he had no intention whatsoever to harm me, but he still kidnapped me you know. Then he apologised for everything and expressed his regret over what he did, you know, so I actually tried, as hard as it was. I forgave him." I said.My eyes widened. She did what?———Femi."Wait wait wait, you forgave him? That fast?" I

Previously...Femi."More like snitch. If he should talk before trials I don't think we would have to go to court for this." Ama said."I don't like this. I don't like this at all. We're going to see Kola. He's at my parents' house." I said. I really needed to talk to Kola about this absurdity."What I'm meeting your parents now? Can't we plan this?" Ama said."Well it's not a big deal"————Now. Femi. Ama wasn't budging. I glanced at her and she looked pissed as hell. I womdered what the deal was. It was just the parents. I did not believe there was any planning that needed to be attached to it."I don't think i want to go there. You're putting me on the spot. We did not plan to go to your parents' place today." She said."Plans change baby. Plus it is not a big deal i assure you. Besides is it not you that just put me on the spot a few minutes ago in front of Dan. Deciding on something without discussing it with me first." I said. I knew saying it like that was quite petty but i w

Previously…Femi.“Yes, it was Chike.” I said.“What? That scalywag?” My dad exclaimed.“Yes dad” I said.“o mọ ọ? (You know him?)” my mom asked.“Yes he used to work for one of my friends. That stupid boy that ate money omo omugo” he said.“So where are they now?” My mother asked.“In police custody.” I said.“Good and they better stay there. So she’s completely fine I hope?” My dad asked again.“Yeah she is. Completely fine.“Good. ohunkohun ti o jẹ ti o ṣẹlẹ. lo ogbon. maṣe jẹ ki oju inu rẹ gbe ọ lọ, ṣe o ye ọ bi?

I’ve heard” I was grateful that my mum swooped in and saved the day because I was about to melt into the ground. I hugged my mum and dad and went to Kola’s apartment.———-Now..Femi POVI went down to Kola’s apartment within the building. It was just a floor down from that of my parents. My parents just had a stair case lea

Previously…Femi.I took out my phone and called his, I waited and when it rang, I started hearing the phone ring in the bedroom. That meant that he didn’t leave the house.“Where the fuck are you man for fuck’s sake” I muttered under my breath.I started walking around the house shouting his name.“Kola! Kola!! Where the hell-”“In here!” I heard him say.He was in the children’s room.What the hell was he doing there?————NowFemi…I entered in the children room and saw Kola looking at a picture and smiling.“Hey bro. What are you doing in here?” I asked Kola.“Oh I was bored and decided to come look at our apartments from when we were kids. Remember when we first came here? We couldn’t believe our eyes.” He said.I sat beside him and smiled. “Oh? Yeah I remember bro. It was really crazy like. We didn’t believe that we would be in a place as nice as this. To think it should have been just you.” I said. Reminiscing on these memories. We had a hard childhood all losing our parents on

Femi.As i made the revelation about our best friend whom Tunde was quite taken by, Kola almost broke down in tears. I knew how much he loved her as a friend and also coupled with the crush."I will have to find her because she does not deserve any of this in the least bit." Kola said."I know right. But i think you should leave it alone. Let Tunde find her. Can he? You know they were a thing, well kind of. But she loved him so much. you know that." I said. "Yeah. i think you're right. Please tell him what you just told me so we can look for her and know how she is doing because i am very sure the family had it really hard. I'm so devastated. How didn't i know this." Kola asked."Because of how out of touch you are like i rightly said before man." I told him."what is the real reason why you came here Kola?" I asked.Kola looked and me and smiled. "I just feel very overwhelmed by a lot you have no idea. I just came here for peace. Let me see if my childlike soul would return. When we

FemiKola and i sat and chatted about our childhood and from this conversation i saw a lot more clearer the fact that Kola loved me even more than himself. I did not know if that was something that what toxic or if it was sweet but i know that countless times i put myself before anybody else but he always sacrificed something for me to be okay and happy.“So why did you come here and where is my good sister?” Kola said.I chuckled “not her being your sister now I never thought I’d live to see the day.” I said.“Of course she’s my good sister. You’re marrying her. Plus it would be a good addition to the family considering you know what. I miss her though.” Kola said.Him mentioning our sister brought tears to our eyes. She was part of the reason why this house became a home to us. We were shy but she made us feel like family. The reason why we were adopted was because of the tragedy that happened with her little brother. Our mother was so devastated by his death by drowning in the scho

Femi.Him mentioning our sister brought tears to our eyes. She was part of the reason why this house became a home to us. We were shy but she made us feel like family. The reason why we were adopted was because of the tragedy that happened with her little brother. Our mother was so devastated by his death by drowning in the school swimming pool. Apparently he was pushed in by bullies and couldn't swim so he drowned. The bullies were arraigned in juvenile prison until they were of age to be transferred to the normal one. The person who pushed him in specifically got seventy years to life, while the people who were accomplices got forty years each. They all are still in prison. That Justice however didn't heal our mother. That was her only son and there were a lot of factors affecting her mental health. Family issues and inheritance. My father's sister was insufferable. To make our mother happy, our father had to suggest adopting a boy around his age. He was thirteen years old. They cam

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.
