“Anna, how could you do this?” I asked her, felling such a heavy weight on my heart.
She too, trying to wear her uniform.
“I’m so sorry.” Anna told us. “I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean for you guys to see this.”
“Just go back upstairs now.” Dad was telling us.
“How could you, dad?” Alice was asking, I could see her eyes fill with tears. Alice was gonna cry!
“Weren’t you the one who is always about respect and loyalty to the family?” I asked him. “How could you do this to us? Is this what you call respect?”
“Raphael.” I heard my mother’s squeaky voice. When I turned around, she threw both her hands to her mouth and began crying. She looked so vulnerable.
Alice and I quickly ran to her, hugging her.

“Poisoned? What do you mean he’s been Poisoned?” I asked, swapping the phone to my other ear.“Whose been poisoned?” Alice asked me, walking towards me.I shook my head at her. “I’ll be right away.”“What’s going on, Gen?” Alice asked me.“Someone’s been poisoned at the office, I have to go now.” I told her.“W-wait.” She held my wrist. “What do I do with her?”She motioned towards Anna with her head. I looked at Anna staring at us through the cell bars.“Alice I really need to go. Do what ever you want to.” I told her.“Okay, so how are you gonna get to the office?” She asked me. “Let me bail her out and then I can go drop you there.”“Alice I reall

“We all know her as the perfect big sister who will stop at nothing to defend her little sister and say all sweet words about her, but, behind closed doors, she’s actually dating her little sister’s boyfriend, Danlie Forbes and cheating on her fiancée Nathan Gordon. Danlie and Genesis planned to elope Monday night but looks like they were not successful.”“No way…” I placed my hands on my head. “This guy did not just say that on the radio…”“Danlie has been spotted going into and leaving Genesis Roseburg’s apartment in Upper Wander. They’ve also been spotted in front of the Civic Centre a few minutes right after her sister Alice Roseburg walked away from Danlie at that particular place.

“Someone will bring her out now.” The receptionist told us.“Okay thank you so much.” I told him.I looked up at Francis as the receptionist started going through things on his desk.After a few minutes of waiting, they brought her. She was still in their full cream uniform. Her brown short hair touching her shoulders. She let them lead her to me slowly as she looked around like she didn’t understand what was going on.When the two psychiatrists brought her to us, she looked at Francis for a while, trying to figure out who he is.“Is this who came to fetch me?” Delilah asked one of the psychiatrists.“I came to fetch you mother.” I said. That’s when she noticed that I was there. She looked at me for while, as if trying to look through me. “I’m your daughter mom, it’s me, Genesis. I

“This has not been an easy week…” Francis started conversation after almost half an hour of silence.“It has…” I said, sighing and then looking out of the window.“I’m sorry though.” He told me.“What for?” I asked him.“The village. I mean I just saw such great potential in that place and these people were not even using it.”I shook my head. “No Francis, that’s their home. You have no right to decide how you think it should be used. How it is is how they are comfortable living. What you did was so inhumane… but… it’s done already.”“That’s why I was apologizing.” Francis told me. “And here I am trying to make it up to you by being on your side after every thing.”“I know you could have

When he came close to me he stood with one hand on his waist and looked at me.“Who was that lady?” He asked me casually.“I just found out that ‘that lady’ is my biological mother.” I told him.“What do you mean?” He asked me with a slight frown.“She gave birth to me, she’s my real mother. Not… not the one I think was my mother.”“Who told you that?”“Does it matter?” I asked him. “I’m 24, and now only I find out who my real mother is.”“I’m 25,” Yoké told me. “I still don’t know how my mother looks like, maybe you’re blessed.”I looked at him for a while, knowing damn well what Yoké was trying to say.I shrugged, hugging my ar

“What are you saying?” I asked her.“I’m telling you, Leticia sent people to steal Rissa from me.” Delilah told me.“Risa?” I asked.“Yes, your baby. The one you gave birth to.” Delilah was now talking like she was all of a sudden normal again. She was sitting up on the bed, she still looked scared, but she was talking to me. Meaning every thing she was saying.“No, mom…” I shook my head and tried a smile.” Risa was… she was born sterile. She… didn’t make it.”Delilah shook her head. “That’s just what Leticia and your father made you believe. Risa was never born sterile. You gave birth to Risa. She’s alive.”“No...” I was trying my best to stay as comforting as I could but this talk was not helping me at all. I felt like

I looked from the private number on my phone to the police cars swarming into the quad. How was I going to get through to Yoké when I didn’t even know what his phone number was? He had to know that our Rissa was still alive. He had to know that his daughter was missing and we had to find her. But how would I tell him? There was absolutely no way of contacting him.I was standing at the door post with the rest of the family behind me as we watched the police cars enter the house. Real police. Dad tried convincing me not to call them and call the mansion’s police men rather but I knew that the real police would help us find Rissa quicker. The mansion’s policemen would be too busy trying not to cause a scandal to find my child, whereas, my child missing, with no clue where to find her whatsoever was a big enough scandal already.The police officers got out of their vans but stayed at their doors. Only three walked up to us. Two were

He didn’t stop the car, just continued driving.“Nathan?” He didn’t answer. He took another route than the GPS was showing. “Nathan, please stop the car.”He began shaking his head, driving even faster. “They just… these villagers just don’t listen!”“Can you stop the car please?” My voice was now shaking. I was so scared.After driving and driving he finally slowed down and pulled up on the side of the road. He began laughing. I never thought that I would feel so scared around Nathan, ever. I quickly tried to open the car door but it was locked.“Oh, Geny, Geny…” He said, resting his head on stirring wheel and then slowly turned it to look at me.“Can you let me out, please.” I asked him.He stopped laughing and looked at me, his face very serious now.“I’ve tried everything I can, as a man, to make you love me. I really have.” He began telling me.

"We have nothing left because of him." Dad said, staring at the ground. "I can't believe I trusted him that much.""Who is it, dad?" I asked."None other than your very own half brother, slash cousin, slash no relation at all, Francis.""What?" I asked. "What is he looking for? He wants to make money out of Toko Village meanwhile he is stealing from us and still gets a basic salary on top of that. How can someone love money this much? So much that you'd steal from your own..."Alice and Yoké joined us, they had heard the news too."I knew that that sneaky guy was dodgy." Alice said as she stopped behind the couch Delilah was sitting on and leaned on it.

Uma was awake, and as soon as we entered his ward and he saw us, he smiled, looked away and began sobbing. He covered his hand over his eyes and sobbed. "Aww." We chorused in unison, as if we had planned to. "Don't cry babe." He's girlfriend, Esther said, quickly walk-runned to him. She sat on the side of his bed and hugged him. She hugged him for a while as he continued crying. "We are here..." She told him, she looked sad too. "We love you and we'll always be here for you."

I stopped at the door way before entering the living room. He was in a navy blue suit, standing next to the couch, instead of sitting. Rosalie had just brought him his drink. He briefly pointed towards the table where she was supposed to place his drink. I went to sit on the couch opposite the one dad was standing next to. Yoké stayed at the room door post and leaned against it.Dad paced to and fro and stopped where he had started."So we've lost more than half of our clients..." Dad said, voice still powerful although the sad message.I kept quiet and watched him."We've lost most of our projects we were busy with, the clients asked to cancel their contracts or else they'd take us to court. Most of our employees, has resigned because they see the downfall. They know that we won't be able to pay them. Only the loyal ones remain."He then shrugged. "Maybe they're not even loyal.

We stopped a block away from the motel just incase there were people put in place by Nathan to watch Yoké. But we could see the motel from here. It was a cheap old building. So cheap that the light of the ‘M’ in ‘Motel was flickering so bad that you’d think it would just die any moment. “So what will happen is you’ll give me Nathan’s phone so that when I get in, I can ask him which room number he is at.” The woman half turned to talk to me.“But I’m going in with you.” I told her.She shook her head. “I may not have been entirely loyal to your father but I’m not bad enough of a worker to put your life in potential danger.”“What do you mean danger? I’m—”“I have a gun. Although I’m going in there alone, I know how to defend myself up to a certain point. We don’t know whether Nathan’s men are in there, or around here, in some building, possibly watching us right now. What happens if they fire at us?”“They’ll never fire at me—”“You d

I slammed the car door and fell back on the back seat. The woman, who was supposed to shut the already shut door for me gave me an unbelievable look and then got into the driver's seat."So what happened to your twin? Isn't he going to come with us?" I asked, bitterly."I understand you're upset that your father won't help you with your boyfriend but you don't have to take it out on me, or the car door." She told me looking back at me.We maintained eye contact for a while until she turned back and fastened her seat belt. She started the car and we were on the road again after a few minutes.I was too angry to care about how much this woman was looking at me in the rear view mirror."What?" I suddenly asked after a while of more rear view eye contact.She suddenly stopped the car causing me to fall forward and hit against her seat."Hey!" I shouted as I sat back in my seat.

“Come here, my love.” Nathan told me. “Come take a seat next to me.”“I don’t want to sit next to you.” I told him. “I want you to tell me which plane Yoké is planning to take and when.”“Gen, your dad will always choose me over Dan. Look, all this is a misunderstanding. Once I speak to him things can go back to the way they were. We could still get married and what happens today would never come to light. We’d still be the world’s favorite couple.”I didn’t even know what to say to him. “Are you crazy?” Those were the only words that could leave my mouth.“I’m crazy about you, yes. My fiancée.”“Nathan, tell me which plane Yoké is planning to take. Please.”“Why do you need him when I’m here?” He asked me.Just then, two cops walked in."Is he ready for us now?" One asked."Yes, sir." One of the nurses answered."Okay." The policeman said and began unlocking the cuff on Nathan's arm to the bed.

When they got out of the car and came to open the door for me, I didn’t even try to fight them off, what was the use? No matter how much I would try, they’d still have the upper hand. And besides even if I manage to get away, how do I get home without a cellphone or money? There hasn’t been a building in sight since we’ve hit the road.“I’ll walk myself.” I told them as they opened the door for me.They exchanged looks. What was it with these two and looking at each other as if they could pass little messages with just one glance?“Look, if you try to run, we won’t go after you,” The male officer told me. “The distance back is not walkable, you’ll starve out there and die and then your family will never hear of you again. So don’t try anything stupid, okay?”I didn’t respond.“You have a better chance of surviving this than running away.” The lady

When I got back to my senses, my first instinct was to unlock the doors and get as far away as I could from this car and Nathan. Nathan was still crying out in agony, trying to ease his pain by clutching onto his wrist with the unharmed hand. I reached out and pressed the unlock button on the stirring wheel. He didn’t try to stop me, just continuing yelling in pain. I opened the door on my side. As I was about to step out, I remembered, Nathan was our only way to getting Rissa back. I reached into his suit pocket where I had seen him put his phone back after the call with one of his men.“What are you doing, Genesis?” He asked me but did not try to fight me off. “Help me.”I began searching the pockets of his jacket for the phone.“Help me, Genesis.” He said again, looking at me helplessly as I searched his pockets. “I love you.”“Freeze!” I looked up to see a policemen on Nathan’s si
