Previously….Femi.He knew he had crossed me. I on the other hand was not here to fight. I was just here to talk. There was a lot I wanted to tell him. He was being a fool when it came to Ama and it was getting boring."What is there to talk about? We are not friends. You've made that abundantly clear." He said and sat back in his chair."Is it?" I raised my brows "Well if you weren't stalking my girl then maybe it would be a different story but you are. And let's be honest it's getting creepy. What the fuck?" I said. I was not here to beat about the bush.He chuckled and adjusted in his seat "Your girl? Oh please. I know she still has feelings for me. She's probably with you because of the clout."I laughed at his statement. Clout? What clout? "What bloody clout are you talking about? No blog has even reported about us yet. She hasn't even tried to expose our relationship so what rubbish clout is that. You're just telling yourself anything at this point Chike. I didn't reckon you wer
Previously...Femi"You're one to talk about treating someone like utter crap. You, Femi. The original Yoruba demon. Community sperm sharer. You're talking about that?""Watch your tongue mate." I said aggressively. Chike stopped talking probably because he knew I was going to bust his face in if he spoke out of line again."I do not appreciate you gaslighting me. I asked you a question. Answer or continue being dumb." I said with a little growl.His eye twitched again and he gulped. "Look, I let the money I was making get to my head okay. I was enjoying the attention girls were giving me and I went with the flow but that doesn't mean I was never in love with her. I didn't call her because I'm my dar twisted head I thought I don't need her. I had the other girls but that shit dies down after a while. Now I'm here to take my girl back."I chuckled "you sound very insane Chike. Can't believe you. I knew there was a reason why I didn't like you when we first met."He frowned "What the h
Previously...Femi."Let's just go." Radike whispered to me.I sighed And followed the doctor.The last thing I wanted was more bad news. I would literally throw hands at this point. The surgery was almost here and now this? I hoped he only had good things to say.————Femi.We sat in the doctor's office waiting for him to finish talking to whoever it was he was talking to outside. Matthew was still pacing about and refused to sit down. Radike looked like she was praying. I was to annoyed to stand at this point. I felt like my knees were going to give out. I regretted not flying Ama out of the country like i initially planned. Now AMA's life could be in danger.The doctor came in after several minutes of talking outside with someone."Sorry for keeping you waiting." He said and sat behind his desk."What is the meaning of this? How can this be happening right now. We literally paid you to take care of her." I yelled at the doctor. My blood had been boiling so much and I was holding my
Previously….Femi.Once Matthew caught sight of me, he stood up from the chair.“Hey, you haven’t gone to Ama yet? I’m surprised that you’re still here.” I said when I got to him.He wore a straight expression and said “Can we talk in the garden for a second?” He asked.“Yeah okay sure” I said and we moved the conversation to the garden. I was reluctant because all I really wanted was to see what shape Ama was actually in and be there when she eventually woke up.“So what’s up?” I asked when we got to the garden.“Um, yeah I’ll just cut to the chase. I know a donor has been found but then the doctor was repeatedly talking about you doing a serum test. What was that about? Is it you? Are you the donor?” He asked me.I sighed. I didn’t know how to wriggle my way around this. I had a feeling he wasn’t going to be able to keep secrets from his sister. It seemed as though I was now caught red handed because the doctor wasn’t vague at all.“Femi, it’s you isn’t it?” He asked.I sighed and n
Previously…Femi.“Very very weak” she said quietly. I successfully pulled her up and gave her some food. The food I had bought for her. It was cold now but she ate it. She didn’t like hot food anyways.“So what’s happened?” Ama asked as she was eating,“Sis, a lot. They found you collapsed just as Didi and I were coming in to see you.” Matthew narrated.“It was horrible, I was panicking. I’m really glad you’re okay babes” Radike added.I smiled at Ama but my smile slowly diminished when I saw exactly how she looked now. She looked very pale. Like she was losing blood. Her lips were chapped and her once luminous skin was still very flawless but dry. It hurt my heart to see her that way.“Femi, what’s the matter. You’re silent.” Ama said.I looked at her and smile “Nothing’s wrong babe. I’m just happy you’re awake.” I said. She smiled and continued eating her food. We stayed in the room for a while. Radike and Matthew kept chatting to Ama while I sat there very silent and thinking.To
Previously…Femi."Well, I didn't do anything wrong coming to check on you did I? Meanwhile when's the transplant?" He asked.I looked at Kola's face very well. He wore an expression I knew very well. One of mischief "Tomorrow Kola, why are you asking?" I answered before Ama could breathe a word. Kola wanted to start something. I just knew it in my bones. The earlier I shut him down the better. He could reveal my secret."Tomorrow... hmm" Kola said, completely ignoring my question."Yes Kola." I said and gave him a warning. His smirk became wider."So Ama are you ready for it?" He asked her."Of course she is why wouldn't she be?" "Let her speak for herself man." Kola said. I looked and Ama and she gave me a look to chill out. I just knew Kola was about to do something."Yes I'm ready to get this over with." She said and sipped water."Okay thats fair. What about you bro?" He said and I started shaking my head because I knew this secret was about to come out."What about me?" I asked
Previously..."Nothing will happen to me okay. Baby..." he said and took my hand in his while using his free hand to wipe my tears "I just want you to be fine.""No no no... there had to be some other way. Can they not search some more. It doesn't have to be you." I said. More tears dropping. It sucked that Femi had to be the one doing this. I didn't want anyone close to me risking their lives. There had to be some way around this."The doctor said that you don't have much time left. The surgery has to be held tomorrow or we risk you have more complications again. We can't have that."I sighed and ransacked my brain for something... anything that could solve this problem that we had. "What if...""Then it's my destiny. Maybe that's what I'm here for. To make sure that you live. Because that's actually my priority right now babe. I have blocked out every other thing to be fair. The only thing I want to do now is make sure you have my kidney. Plus that would mean we are stuck together."
Previously…FemiI knew Ama was silently hyperventilating. She had been making some very telling comments once in a while about me putting myself in line of fire. I wasn't upset. It just showed how selfless she really was. She wanted to be the only one that was having an issue which I got but I wasn't going to sit on the sidelines and watch he deteriorate. She genuinely understood how crucial it was now but it still was biting her. I could see and feel it.I was going to get some food for Ama and myself. There was going to be a lot of tests taken right before the transplant and also we would be losing blood. We needed a lot of energy for that. Luckily they could find transfusable blood for the both of us. Radike also offered hers. Our blood type was very rare, I wondered what this would mean for our children given the fact that Ama and I were both O negative.I got us some chicken, chips and burgers. I also got some pasta in case any of us were interested. It was nerve wracking going
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
