Oluwole spent the remaining part of the week crying in his luxurious room. Now that his father was gone, the thought of going back home was far from him. Home without his father would be nightmare. The people that killed his father probably also sought to kill him too. He therefore decided to stay with Charles.

He needed him now more than ever. He had nowhere else to go. The love and care Charles had shown him since he arrived was far preferred to that which he would receive back home.

“I love you daddy. I do and I always will.” Oluwole said holding the photograph of him and his father to his chest. Right now, that was his most treasured and valued item. It was the only tangible memory of his late father that he had.

He had no other family relations that he knew of.

No uncles or aunts. He was still staring at the photograph when he had an asthma attack. He looked around his room frantically for his inhaler which was in his bag pack. The struggled to get it within his reach. He needed

  • Travails of Oluwole   Lost in Thought

    Felicia was 20 by age.She was just a simple girl going about every day on the streets in search of a job as a maid. She had gone to schools, hospitals and basically anywhere that required the maintenance services of a maid.She wanted to get herself the job even though it seemed menial just so she could settle her fees at the university. That was the point when Ben came into her life, the instrument that the devil had used to destroy her future. She had introduced to Ben by a friend of hers. Immediately she was told of the huge sum of money that was involved in the job, she applied for it. She didn’t even put into consideration of how a job as a maid could fetch out such a salary. The desperation to settle up pending school bills and return as a big girl flooded her thoughts and made her rush into it without having a rethink. Back then she was so filled with joy when she had received the news that she had gotten the job. She had no clue that it was a life time job with a contract t

  • Travails of Oluwole   His Name is Samuel Rowland

    As he watched the cartoon series, Sam could feel something in his heart. There was a feeling that was pointing out to him that all was not right. He was greatly disturbed by it. It was almost as if someone was trying to talk to him in his heart. He could hear a voice speak but could not understand what it was saying. He was ignorant of what it was pinned on. Yet he was pinned on ignoring it. He was really into the cartoon channel, enjoying every scene and every show.Before all this, Kate never allowed him to watch any cartoons when his dad wasn’t around and that was basically a lot of times. When he was not at school or doing his homework, she made him do house chores over and over again to her satisfaction. So it was normal for him to have a certain craving for cartoons at his age even though he didn’t know it. He got so caught up in the show that he ended up flushing both the feeling that was on him and the incessant voice down the drain. Apart from his afternoon lunch and his eve

  • Travails of Oluwole   A New Beginning

    Sam woke up the following morning with a nagging headache. He was surprised to see that the T.V was still on and that he had slept off while watching cartoons. He thought of starting the day with some few episodes but the rash headache seemed to disagree with him and denied him the opportunity. He forced himself to get out of bed in order search and to get a remedy. With his head dizzy, he attempted to look at the wall clock behind his bed. From the quick glance he was able to capture, it read 7:01pm. He got out of his room in a bid to go downstairs. Carefully, he made his way down the stairs. Looking through the demarcating centralized space of the living room and the kitchen, he could get a very good view of all the various angles of the warehouse. From the view, he could see the house to be more of a hotel than a warehouse. He was not aware that the place he was living in was a warehouse for hard-drugs. He was just in the belief that he lived in a regular house that contained nor

With the directions given to him by a maid, he was sure that his dads room was the last place that he had not checked on in the house.Sam was curious as to know what was behind it. He was so bent on finding out what was inside. He walked up to the door and with his palm barely on the door knob shouted his name. She had been watching him for a while now following him from behind since the moment he entered that floor. He stood at the opposite side of the corridor.He turned and looked towards her direction.He could see her lips move and hear her call for him. He so badly wanted to ignore her voice so he could open the door and head into the room. When his ears told him that she mentioned the presence of his f

I was given some respect and fear as the supreme leader over all the leagues of lycans under the rule of Cassius.Rather than respond verbally to what I just said, Aaron just fixed a firm glance at me and growled heavily.

Even my magic can’t make a portal such as that.” she added with a grin on her face.“Yes! That’s a problem but right now, we have more to worry about and these lycans and the man whom I suspect to be their master are ranking the list.” “Go and get Frederick!

The sooner you and they all accept that, the quicker we can get out of this coven.” he added raising me up with both hands by the neck.“Not on my watch!!!” stormed Frederick running the lycan through with his sword by the chest. “I told you to get off the back of the Royal family!

It was a very wide and spacious room with screens, switches and controls on one side out of four, and a couple of weapons on another side opposite to that. I watched as the lycans made their way through the gates and then proceeded into the coven.Frederick made us all equip and arm ourselves. Like him, I had no intentions of going down without a fight. The mission of those lycans is unclear so we all would have to take extreme caution. The lycans went straight to our direction. In a short while, they were just at the opposite side of the door leading in and out of the control room.At the same time as they were doing their best to break the heavy door down, a man appeared behind R
