“You’re really beautiful with those expressions” he complimented, she just stared at him not knowing how to react then she gave out a short laugh
“Jeez… You are crazy” she smiled then started the car“Can I ask you something?” he said“Sure”“Are you in love with me?” he said, the question was unexpected and hit her off guard and she froze for a second“I… No… Of cause not” she said then looked at him, his eyes stared at her like they could see lies, she quickly looked away“You are lying” he said“God! You are so honest” she said it like it was to be hated“Isn’t that a good thing?”“Well it is… But in your case I don’t know what to say”“Don’t you lie?” she asked“Never happened… Why should I lie when I know the truth? Lies complicate things and you’d have to lie to protect a lie, it is like an onion, the layers never stop growing out”“Hmmmm… you are quite the smart ass” she reacted then stared at him for a while“It’s a good thing though but in our world sometimes you just have to dilute the truth” she said“More reason you all don’t have peace… you have a world built heavily on so much lies that if the truth breaks out today, they would be an instant world war”“That’s not true” she protested“Why do you lie?” he asked her“Because the truth is bitter and lying save you a lot of problems” she said“No… Because you deliberately do the wrong things even when you know the right thing to do… if an action is going to make you lie, why do it? Selfishness” he said and she remained silent“How about you stop doing the things that makes you lie” he said… she thought about it for a while then drove off…1:00pm Yvonne drove to a club that was off the island, in the mainland“This is a new club and its bubbling with people. We are going to have fun” she said smiling at Metatron (now Arnold) who was silent. She stepped out of the car with him. The streets had few people going and coming, people going into the club. It was a peaceful environment – two bouncers standing outside but as they approached the entrance Arnold stopped. She walked forward and noticed he was not with her; she looked back and saw him staring at the building“What… let’s go” she said“I can’t go in there” he said to her shock“Why” she walked back to him “was he going to do this again?” she pondered“I don’t associate with rivals” he said, she was clearly confused“What the hell are you talking about?” she asked“This is a den of iniquity” he said turning to her, that one caught her off guard“Jesus… what the hell does that even mean? Why didn’t you say something since”“No offense but Lucifer is in possession of this place and we are not compatible terms” he said“That sound like pride” she said then waited for his reply but he was silent“Ok then how about we go in and over throw him” she said“Such decision might not be in your favour, and besides these are his works and I will not be part of it” he said insisting with returning impatience“Oh God here we go again” she wasn’t happy, she looked around curiously as she bit down on her lower lip with brows shot up“Lucifer rebelled against our father” he said“Come on don’t allow your beefing get into your head” she said“This is not a beef!!” his vexation was evident and she could see the anger“Woow, I'm so sorry… you know what? Let’s go home’ she said and walked away, they stood beside the car and were both silent for like 10secs, he could tell he had upset her because she was quiet, withdrawn and worried“My apologies for such anger” he said“It’s ok I get it” she said faking a smile“It’s fake” he said“What is fake?” she asked“The smile on your fake” he said, she didn’t know how to make it look real so she looked away“Hey babe” a voice said from behind, she looked behind her to see three men standing in a short distance and calling, they appeared to be thugs so she ignored then“Hello I am talking to you” he said aloud as he moved closer, he seemed determined“I am not interested in any conversation so just leave me alone” she replied and suddenly he grabbed her arm roughly and turned her to face him not even minding the fact that she was standing with somebody, they looked dangerous.“Look at me when I am talking to you” he said rudely, he had the smoke of confidence steaming through him“Are you mad? Can’t you see I am with someone?” she glared at him with reproachful eyes“Is that why you should ignore me?” he questioned, Arnold moved closer“You seriously lack manners in all aspect” Arnold said“Are you talking to me?” he walked closer to Arnold and stood face to face – Arnold appeared to be about a feet taller“I don’t like the smell of your face… move” Arnold said“You have made the greatest mistake of your life” he said to Arnold. Arnold noticed his weird tattoo“Leave my face before I make you as ugly as your tattoo” Arnold said“(chuckles) you no dey fear oh… white boy this is the streets of Nigeria, this is not America” he said then put his hand on Arnold’s shoulder what he clearly shouldn’t have done. If not for over confidence he wouldn’t make such mistake – Arnold grabbed that hand squeezed it so painfully that he screamed in pain, still holding on to that hand Arnold throws him across the gutter in one fling, the second pulled out a knife in shock“Are you seriously going to do that” Arnold said, he made the attempt to stab Arnold who grabbed him arm and turned the knife to his own stomach and fatally stabbed him twice, Yvonne turned her face away for it was too much for her. Arnold lifted him with the knife in his stomach and threw him in the gutter where he smashes his head on the ground, the last one pulled backwards in fear“You are the wise one” Arnold said to him“Leave before your brains touch dust” Arnold said and he turned and ran off immediately“Let’s leave here before more comes back” Yvonne said and they both got into the car and drove off… She parked the car by the road“Thanks for protecting me” she said“You’re welcome” he replied, she looked across the road and saw Chicken Republic“Are you hungry?” she asked“NO”“I am” she said then got out the car and together they crossed the road, she had enough to eat“I am tired” she said“I thought after eating you gain strength” he said“I beg you in the name of your father, don’t start” she had to put a stop to him Back in the car she rested her head on the head rest“Are you okay?” he asked, she looked at him then looked away“What a wasted day” she said, he could read the disappointment in her face“I’m sorry” he said, she looked at him“Maybe today won’t be that wasteful after all… Tell me, about yourself. Who are you really?” she said“I'm a Leviathan”“Yeah I know, you said that like a million times… ok why don’t you have wings? I thought all heavenly creatures go about with their chicken feathers or soemthing” she asked“Leviathans don’t have wings but can fly and move faster than light. Angels have wings but not all do”“Ok, so why did you leave heaven” she asked and he paused, that question hit him hard because it was the forbidden question, there was no way she was knowing that“Did you hear me?” she said“Yeah, it’s a long story” he said“Well, we are going to be together for a while maybe forever, maybe?” she said“I can’t tell you that, for there are things which man shouldn’t know” he said. He was hiding something from her, something he doesn’t want to tell her which might change his relationship with her and he wouldn’t get what he came for. She holds something very important but she doesn’t know it.“Ok then. tell me, do you like men?” she asked“I have no reason to hate them but you all have one problem” he said“What’s that?”“It’s Selfishness and pride”“That’s two problems”“Your problems are much actually” he said“Yeah, we’re proud of ourselves… we are not perfect” she said, he looked at her“Can I ask you something” he said“Yeah sure”“Why do you all feel so important?”“Why shouldn’t we? Of cause we are important even God knows that” she said and he laughed, it surprised her“You think you are important? When man dies his body smells, when a Leviathan dies there is a sweet smell… Or do you think man is a priority to God? You think you live long and fulfilled but you’re wrong” he said“Are you jealous of men? And that sounds like pride” she said“You think its jealousy” he said“God does care about us, right?” she asked“Do you care about yourselves? That should be your question”“Just answer, does he care?”“He loves everything he made but You are not the only creatures… you are not even his best creation… there are billions of morning stars in the universe all these stars hold a solar system with beautiful creatures scattered all over in it so if you think you are the most important or the best or most loved then you are wrong”“What other creatures? Outside the planet there is no life” she said“Things that are seen, are made of things that do not appear; things that do not appear are made into things that appear” he said“I don’t get what you say”“Man doesn’t know 0.1% of discovery in your universe… It takes man forever to arrive Pluto talk less of the next galaxy… Your technology is weak… Have you ever taken a trip to the universe?”“Not really, just pictures on paper”“It’s more beautiful than what you see on paper” he said“Tell me about the moon” she said“The moon is like earth’s battery, it does much more than what man thinks and sees”“And the sun?”“The sun is a world of its own, the liquid fire and light holds your planets… there is a big secret in the sun”“What secret”“I can’t tell you that”“And how does the sun hold the planets”“The planets are like particles caught up in a tornado, they are like particles to the sun and its fire and light works with time to displace gravity and keep the planets at horizon“Interesting”“I was there when they were made”“I wish I was” she said“We could make a trio to space one day”“I would love that” she smiled Getting back to the hotel, Yvonne was tired that she just sank into the bed and slept off, Arnold kissed her forehead head then vanished… Yvonne had no idea what awaited her in a short time, although not death but trouble and more chaos…. Whatever she was calling fun was about to be ruined by chaos.ONE WEEK LATER7:00am Max was set for work– did I mention that he had not said a word to his wife for over a week? Maria had tried all she could but he was a hard one, despite regretting her words that instigated this she had refused to apologize to him. She was also being very stubborn and found it difficult to be humble – after all she was a strong woman who could survive with her husband, she thought to herself, and she could do without him. They both living as strangers, sleep on the same bed, but don’t eat the same food and he had completely turned off every attention and love he gave her. She missed him so much despite him being so close but he was so far away. Max would not eat her food or give attention – making threats to cheat is the lamest and wrongest thing to say to a spouse but Maria wasn’t seeing this and believing that it will just pass with her manipulative skills but all that had failed because the last time she tried seducing him by going naked in the ro
After 20 minutes they arrived and immediately spotted the girls sitting down and together they walked over to them; men and women filled the place, it was a fine peaceful environment “Hello babes” Yvonne looked excited and sat down; it was a table for six“Hello Baby girl” they greeted“Oh no” Audrey said as she looked away “What” Maria said“Why did you bring him?” Audrey said and of cause referring to Arnold who stood boldly there with hands in his pocket and watching them“Excuse me?” Yvonne said“He’s a psychic” Audrey said“Don’t call him that” Yvonne looked pissed“I don’t like him. Simple” Audrey said rudely “And how the fuck does that concern me” Yvonne said– she was the daring one“This guy is something else he’s a freak and he freaks me out I must confess” Audrey said loudly without caring and drawing attention of people “Don’t say that… shut up Audrey” Yvonne looked visibly angered by Audrey’s resentment over Arnold “Oh yeah? You wanna shut me up?” Audr
Arriving back at their hotel room, she dropped her bag on the chair and entered the bathroom then came out in 10 minutes with a towel around her bossom, she saw him staring at her.“What” she smiled, he took of his jacket then walked closer to her and touched her face and neck, the touch sent chills down her spine like it was laced with magic and then he kissed her lips, it was what she has been waiting for and wanted, she kissed him deeply as he dropped her towel to the floor, grabbed her and lifted her up, she kissed him like it was going to be the last, he dropped her on the bed, he kissed her down to her navel as her breath grew, he kissed her back to her breasts and then her lips, she grabbed him tightly and they had great sex through the night. Beautiful Rachael cried on her way home, she had wanted that for a long time, somebody who would tell her how dumb she had been. She arrived home still crying; she went inside and straight to her room, she opened the door and found
Another week was gone and everything appeared fine, Yvonne was back in her office at Shell but worked from home more than she went to the office, well she had the right to since she was one of the most senior executives, but then one morning something happened and changed everything… forever. As Yvonne woke up like every other day, she didn’t see Arnold by her side as usual, she went into the bathroom to clean up and came out then saw him sitting on the bed“Hey babe, where have you been?” she asked as she dried her hair“I saw something today” he said“What’s that?” she asked as she walked to the wardrobe“A vision”“Tell me about it” she said“Your friend Audrey is going to be killed today” Yvonne paused and turned “Is that a joke?” “No it isn’t” “Oh my God”“9:30 am today” he said and she looked at the time it was 9:00am“Oh my God, we have to hurry now, she’ll be at her boutique now” Yvonne said dressing up quickly“We cant save her” he said calmly “What? W
“What?” she said then looked at him“I should not have told you” he said, she looked confused “What has that got to do with what’s happening now?” she asked“Everything Yvonne… Everything… if Audrey had died he would be alive”“What?”“Max was killed by a trailer on a cross road, the owner of the trailer failed to fix his brakes. If Audrey was shot dead; Maria would have gotten the News before Max leaves the house and they both would have been in the hospital here and he would have missed the death trailer… The trailer was suppose to run into a pole but Max was at the wrong place… I warned you but you chose to save Audrey who should be facing consequences of her choices and you took Maria’s husband’s life away” he said and stood up and walked away. It was now clear to Yvonne, she was speechless with her mouth open… About 11:00am Yvonne left the hospital and entered her car with Arnold and they headed back to the hotel“Why didn’t you tell me it would affect Max?” Yvonne asked
For there were things Metatron wasn’t telling Yvonne because he knew it might change her attitude towards him and heighten her fears… Well the time had come for Metatron to let Yvonne know a lot of things he had been keeping from her In minutes the whole area was deserted, the News had spread that “the world had just ended because Angels had just descended from the heavens onto central bank to destroy the world”. Everyone ran away at the sight of the Angel and what drew attention of Yvonne most were the sizes of his wings and how well built he was. Arnold was still seated in the car with Angel Michael staring directly at him and Michael’s face wasn’t looking friendly; Yvonne was speechless and still staring at those large wings as they slowly folded behind and vanished Arnold quietly stepped out of the car, still holding his gaze on Michael; he walked to the front of the car and stood there, he was 3 meters (15ft) away from Michael “Metatron you have two choices; leave and re
“Arnold I'm scared” she said running towards him then hugged him “I told you to leave this place” he said “I don’t know where to go… I am scared” she cried “I am here for you” he held her close but suddenly out of nowhere a car comes flying towards them, he quickly protected her as it slammed on him, Yvonne was startled by the sudden attack and feared she was dead but surprising she wasn’t, she watched as he pushed the car away and dashed into the sky towards Michael “Wait, Lucifer? As in Lucifer? Lucifer?” Maria wasn’t sure of this but was scared “I sense fear in you but you shouldn’t be afraid of me” he said “And why shouldn’t I be?” she asked, he sat on the bed side “Men have got the wrong impression about me and I want to change that” “God said you are evil” she said “(Laughs) God said, God that… none of you know God better than I do … he is a better liar… but I’m here to change that negative impression about me. How do you believe that I alone am responsible for all the
The battle of Angels was the battle of the gods, although it’s Angels versus one Leviathan. The fight had extended to Lekki by air battle… Metatron punches Michael under the jaw and sending him up, Metatron quickly got hold of him by one of his wings and slammed him onto the earth, Metatron then dashed towards Raphael, punched him in the chest, the punch power sends him over 500 meters away from where he stood, Raphael grabbed a car and threw it at Metatron but Metatron caught the car and suddenly came Angel Raphael with a dashing speed towards Metatron and smashing into the car with a full powered attack crashing the car onto Metatron. Metatron ascended into the sky and the 5 angels went after him but couldn’t catch him… people watching from below as they flew passed like fighter jets. Metatron descended on 3rd main land bridge with a damaging impact, the Angels descending with him and causing serious cracks “I do not have my full charge Michael” Arnold said “And you won’t have it
As he stood wondering, the dark skies opened up and a bright light shined down like gold, he saw 100s of cherubim descending down the sky and landed on the earth. They had six gold wings; the Cherubim were mighty males… the surrounded him,suddenly a single Seraphim descended in the center, immediately her feet touched the earth that part became gold, each step she took was covered in gold, getting close to Metatron she said nothing and suddenly 10 seraphim descended and formed a circle around Metatron – seraphim are beautiful female angels with a unique look. As they surrounded him, they raised two wings each and the tips touched and then they all ascended into the sky with Metatron in the center. They go deep into the sky and stopped at the fifth level of clouds. A gold platform appeared under Metatron’s feet, the seraphim all moved backwards as more seraphim joined them over 100 forming a larger circle. The seraphim all acted in unison as they cover their faces with two wings
“You missed” Bazel said to Metatron“No, it was a warning” Metatron said“Why are you here?” Bazel asked“To stop this madness” Metatron said“(Chuckles) so you think this is madness, right? I am bringing our brothers home and you call this madness?” Bazel was angry“You cannot bring our brothers into this world, it’s not our home”“So says the Leviathan living with the daughters of mortal men”“Bazel you and I know what our brothers are capable of; they will crush every single living creature on this earth”“Why do you care so much about these worthless humans” Bazel said pointing down at the people running“Everything made by Father is beautiful and important, They may be mortals and weak, but worthless is not what they are. The fact that they know nothing about the reality they found themselves is the reason why they are still doing okay, the lesser they know the better for them” Metatron said“creating these mortals was a mistake on father’s part but the reason why you care so muc
Maria carried Yvonne in her car, they both sat at the back seat – Yvonne had been unconscious but was regaining herself “You are awake” Maria said to Yvonne who was beside her“What am I doing in your car?” Yvonne asked“I’m taking you home” she replied and the car suddenly stopped “What happened?” Maria asked the driver“I don’t know” he said and suddenly Yvonne’s side of the door opened and she quickly ran out, Maria then came out the car and saw Beth and Rachael“So it’s you” Maria said to Beth“When are you going to quit? You could regret this” Beth said“You have lost the battle, Angel girl” Maria said“I don’t think so” Arnold said behind her and she turned quickly and Arnold quickly grabbed her neck and lifted her up“Put her down now” one of her men shouted; Arnold looked and saw four of her men pointing guns at him and suddenly they all fell down dead. Arnold’s hand suddenly becomes covered in black flame and was about to strike her dead but then he stopped and the flame
“Just give us what we came for” Lucifer said“What is going on here? This is a wedding” the priest said“Please leave this place now” Beth said“Leave? What’s going on? This is a church” he said and suddenly fire consumed the priest; that was a surprise to them“Why kill him” Metatron said to Lucifer as they all looked at Lucifer“What… why is everyone staring at me? Big brother is here remember?” Lucifer said referring to Bazel who had a serious face and stared directly at Metatron“What do you want?” Beth asked“We want some of her juice” Lucifer said smiling as he pointed to Yvonne, Yvonne quickly went behind Metatron“He can’t save you” Bazel said“That’s not gonna happen” Uzor said“Mortals have no saying in the gathering of Gods” Bazel said angrily to Uzor“Boring” Rachael said“Whichever way you put it, you can’t have her blood; there will be no more blood, at least on this side” Metatron saidThen we’ll have to kill for the blood” Lucifer said“Stop this madness” Ariel said“
“There’s a calamity coming to the human race, a disaster, a war with higher celestial powers and supernatural titans that will change everything in our world and this war has already began”...Yvonne ran through the bushes and came to the gate of their house only to see it on fire, she was in tears and pain of the injury inflected on her; blood running down her face and dirty clothes.“Nooooooo!!!” Yvonne yelled in tears as she knelt down in front of the burning house“What a pity, a beautiful home like this brought down to nothing but ruins” Maria said behind her; Yvonne angrily stood up and ran to Maria“I will kill you!!!” she yelled as she ran towards Maria but Maria punched her on the chest and she fell unconscious…6 Days Earlier…“Veteran actor Fred Collins found dead on Chief Collins street Lekki” this was the news headline on the big screen in Maria’s home“Good job Maria” Lucifer said“That was two days ago” she replied“Good, you have really come so far and its time”“Time
By evening when Max returned from work; he went into the room to change when Maria came in“Max”“Yes Hon” he replied“We need to talk” she said“alright, one sec”“I mean now” she said with a straight face“Ok, what is it?” he asked as he unknotted his tie“When last did you see Yvonne?” she asked and he paused because the question hit him like lightening“Why would you ask me that? I should ask you” he replied“Just answer the God damn question”“I don’t know? It’s been a long time” he said“I see” she said then walked to the table where he kept his phone; she went through the phone and then went to the recorder and saw a file so she played it and unfortunately it was her conversation with Lucifer… Max was scared, he didn’t know what to do or say“What is this?” she asked“So it’s true” Maria said“No” he said calmly“You’re working with my enemies, you are giving them information about me and my plans. So this means I have been living with a Judas all along”“Babe it’s not w
Maria headed to Victoria Island to an industry that deals on make-up production known as Beauty Planet Maria got into the building and up to the Ceo’s office with her guards but was stopped by the secretary “Sorry, you have to wait here” the secretary said as she went in front of Maria, one of the guards pushed her aside“The next time you try such stupid act, you will be beaten to death” Maria said They entered into the CEO’s office “Maria?” he said with surprise“Benson Kalu” she smiled “Are you surprised?” she said and sat down as two of her guards stood beside her and two walked over and stood behind Benson and two stood at the door“Oh yes I am” he said“Well, Iam here for what I asked” she said“And what is that?” he said“Don’t play stupid with me” she said“I want the 70% shares of this industry” she said“I think you are mad” he said and suddenly a hot slap landed on him from one of the guards behind him and it resounded over and over. He was shocked and was about sta
Two Years Ago…Beth and Max appeared in Max’s house two years back“What? Is this For real” he was surprised“Yes, look at Maria” Beth said – Maria was preparing breakfast “Maria!” he called her“She can’t hear or see us” Beth said“I can’t believe this’ he was surmised as he moved around“I brought you hear to watch” Beth said…“Honey it’s 9:00am” Maria said loudly from downstairs“Yeah I know, I’m coming” he replied loudly…“I remember this day” he said“Yes, it’s the day you died” Beth said…“Honey what about breakfast?”“Baby I'm late sorry”“So you are going to leave it like that? I took time to prepare this just for you”“Sorry love” he kissed her cheek then sat down, he ate two slice of bread and drank little tea then got up to leave“Wait” she said“Anything else?”“Something is missing” she collected his tie“oh that”“Yes that, let me help you” she put the tie round his neck“Look like the director that you are” she said, her phone rang, she picked the call“Hello Yvonne”
SUNDAY, 9:00am Maria and Maxwell are seated in their garden at the front yard. There was a rectangular stone table and six chairs round it like a dinning table; Max sat at one end and Maria at the other. There were having break fast; there was a big bread on the table and a plate of butter with a jug of Lipton, a pack of sugar and liquid milk.“Babe when last did we go to church” Max asked and she smiled“Maybe a year ago” she said looking less concerned “(chuckles) I think it’s a year plus” Max said “Why does it bother you?” she asked “Shouldn’t it?” he asked A black Rolls Royce phantom black bison entered the compound“Are you expecting anyone?” he asked“I don’t remember” she said as they looked at the car“Waw, that’s a nice car” Max said and then Mr. Damien Blood stepped out of the car as the driver opened the door“Mr. Damien?” Max said“O yes I remember, I’m sorry; he called my yesterday and told me he was coming” Maria lied; Lucifer walked to the table“Good mornin
