Yvonne spent the night there just thinking throughout the night.
A knock on the door of the room in the morning“Yvonne it’s me” Maria said“Come on in” she said“Good morning” Maria said“Good morning” she replied as she sat up“How was the night?” Maria said“Fine, how is Max?” she said“He’s getting ready for work”“I’ll be leaving soon” Yvonne said, Maria noticed her weak eyes“Yvonne you didn’t sleep” Maria said“I couldn’t but I have to go now” she said standing up“Are you sure? At least have breakfast with us”“Not thanks, I’ll be fine” she said“Thanks for everything” Yvonne said then hugged Maria“You are welcome, what are friends for girl” Maria escorted her out to her car and she drove off… Rachael woke up to a beautiful fresh start, she turned around but couldn’t feel her husband around her, she stood up and walked into the bathroom and came out in 15mins with a towel. She walks to her wardrobe and searches for clothes, she settles for a grey body hug and black jeans and then put on a turtle neck sweater. She sat in front of her mirror and did the usual art work on her face for about 5mins then was ready to go to her supermarket. As she stepped out of her room she saw her husband David coming“David, where did you go? Woke up and couldn’t find you” she said“What a stupid question or what do you think?” he said without looking at her and walking into the room and slammed the doorShe ignored the attitude, she was getting used to the fact that her husband couldn’t love her, it was something she couldn’t understand. Been treating her badly for a long time now, she could file for a divorce but she felt she’d be the loser and a laughing stock.As she walked downstairs she could hear music playing loudly from the sitting room“Rita! Rita!!” she yelled but she was ignored, Rachael wasn’t in the mood to get in a fight with her kid sister so she just walked out of the house and got into her SUV and drove off. As she drove she thought about sending her sister far away from her so as to find peace in her home but she knew David wouldn’t allow that and Rachael also had the feeling that David was fucking her sister but she needed solid evidence Rachael knows that if she catches them she probably wouldn’t even know what to do about it… probably just cry her eyes out. Driving over to God knows where, Yvonne’s attention was not on the road and she was not aware that she had partly entered the wrong lane since the road had no block partition. She was still thinking to herself why and how she got involved with James because all she felt now was hate, she wondered if he had used black magic on her, she could no longer endure the pain she felt and have suffered. She remembered the day James saw her laughing with a guy who came to see her. James had walked into the house that day and saw them and immediately started questioning the young man and before you know it, went straight to the guy and punched him on the face and they started fighting. James broke a bottle on his head and stabbed him; Yvonne tried to stop him but he beat her so bad. The guy ended up in the hospital and Yvonne paid the bills not just for the guy but for herself as well-that was the end of their friendship; James had done this to some other guy too. She remembered the day he beat her till she fainted, she was admitted in the hospital and only her three best friends visited her and paid the bills, they tried to arrest James but James had the police in his pocket. As she thought about this suddenly her mind was drawn back to the road by an incoming tanker and it was so close that she froze in fear and removed her hands from the steering wheel but suddenly“Watch out!!” a guy said beside her and turned the wheels quickly into the right lane then suddenly vanished, Yvonne was still in shock of what just happened, she was breathing heavily with fear and looked beside her and couldn’t see anyone. She stopped her car by the side of the road and looked at her rear mirror and saw the tanker going. She couldn’t believe what had just happened. She became confused; was she imagining things or is she going crazy about her problems? She didn’t want to believe that someone just appeared in her car to save her but she could still feel his touch against her body, she didn’t even get a good view of his face but all she saw was some kind of bright skin guy maybe a white person.“Maybe my guardian angel” she thought and then she laid her head on the steering wheel and slept off…“Look, Audrey I need the money. Are you giving it or not?” Chinedu said standing beside the bed while putting on his clothes; he was a rude young man but she still liked him basically because he was good in bed.“Sweet heart, I’ll give you the money but things are not going well at the store lately” she replied“Like I care, how does that bother me?” he said taking his shoes“How can you say that?” she sat up“Look, if I don’t get the money just forget about seeing me again” he said walking out of the room“Okay, wait” she said and moved to her locker by the bed and brought out a bundle of money and gave it to him“There you go, I’m sorry, Okay? I love you and I’ll do anything to make you happy” she said; he snatched the money, kisses her cheek lightly and left without a Thank you Audrey sat on the bed staring at the door. She happened to be a very rich lady who owns a very large boutique in town, she lived alone in a big duplex but her problem was, dating a guy too young for her. She walked into her bathroom and came out in 20mins and changed into a nice dress, picked up her car keys and left the room; she walked into the sitting room and saw Nkechi the maid cleaning the house“Nkechi” she called“Good morning ma” she said“Morning, please I would like some spaghetti with stew and fried turkey when I get back in the evening”“Ok ma” she replied, Audrey handed her some cash then walked out of the house and got into her car and drove off…Yvonne woke up and discovered that she was in her car, realizing she had slept off in the car she quickly turned the ignition on but then paused, she looked confused as she stared at the road, she turned the ignition off after looking out the window in shock, she was surprised to see that she was parked right in front of her gate. She began wondering how she got there, she remembered she fell asleep by the side of the road but doesn’t recall her driving to the gate; she never took drugs or smoked weed. “Or could it have been the stranger?” she said to herself. She was getting more confused, or maybe it was the slap James gave to her that made her see things but her arrival at the gate was not an imagination. She stepped out of the car looked around and saw a petty store few meters from her car, she decided to ask the lady there how she got here—pretty weird I know“Hello excuse me” she said“ Hey hello” the lady replied“Please I want to ask you something”“Ok no problem”“Plea
Rachael parked her car in front of her supermarket; she sat in the car for some minutes with her head on the steering wheel, after a while she got out and headed into the store “Good morning Ma” one of the sales girl said “Good morning my dear” “Ma your sister came to the store yesterday and took #370 thousand from the locker saying that you asked her to bring it urgently” “What?” she almost screamed “And you didn’t call me?” Rachael was pissed “I'm sorry ma, she said it was urgent" Rachael became so angry, she left the supermarket & headed back home. She parked her car outside the gate & entered the compound, went to the door and as she got in she saw David dancing with her sister “What are you doing” she said angrily, they ignored her. She went over and turned off the DVD “What the hell?” David said “Are you crazy? What are you doing?” Rachael said “We are dancing” Rita said, sweating dripping over her body “Dancing?” Rachael repeated “Rita why did you go take money
“Hello beautiful” a guy said to Yvonne as she sat down in the hotel’s cinema watching a movie with a bottle of Hennessey. She turned her head and looked at him then turned to face the cinema TV “What do you want?” she asked“I was sitting over there and was just wondering why a beautiful girl like you would be sitting at the back here all alone” he said smiling, she looked at him again then looked at the TV then sipped from her bottle—his line were lame and unimpressive “So after wondering you decided to come do what exactly?” she said then sipping from the bottle“Actually, I came to relax with you and chat” he said smiling“Don’t you think relaxing with me might be regrettable?” she said without looking at him and the smile on his face disappeared“Excuse me?” he said“Of Cause you are excused” she said“I think you are taking too much of that alcohol” he said and she looked at the bottle“I think you are right, here have some” she said giving him the bottle“No thanks”
“Rachael! Rachael!!” David yelled“What” she replied, she was sitting down in the living room “Your sister is not leaving this house” he said“Excuse me?” she said turning to look at him“No excuses, if she leaves I’ll leave too” he said, she paused with surprise “David how can you say that?” she said standing up“She stays… there should not be enemity between you both" he said“David you have something going on with my sister”“(Laughs) really? Is that how you see it? Ok then” he said walking away“No wait please… (he stopped) I love you” she sounded vulnerable“But my sister is giving me problems, she goes around taking my money without my permission. She owes debts which I end up paying for and she ain’t grateful” Rachael complained in a soft tone“Is that how you see me?” Rita said coming out“David you see what am saying, she doesn’t even show me respect despite the fact that she stays in my house”“Ok, I’ll leave your house, do you think I cant survive without y
Rachael was already prepared for work; she came down stairs and saw David in the sitting room watching a movie“Hello honey” she pecked him“Hello, how was your night?” he said“Fine but you didn’t sleep in the room with me” she said“Sorry I slept off while watching a movie” he lied“It seems you’re addicted to watching movie” she said“It a hobby not a habit” he said“Are you not going to work?” she asked“I will, it’s just 7:00am” he said looking at the time“So you prefer going late?”“I want to go late today”“Why?”“I don’t want that crazy MD to call me for prayers anytime am early, we’ll have to pray and I’m not into such stuff”“(Laugh) ok whatever you say, I’m going” she said and left“Have a nice day” he said smiling“We have the whole house to ourselves” Rita said coming down stairs in a transparent nightgown and David was excited at the sight of her“O yes we do” he said looking at her body. “Go lock the door" David said and Rita locked the front door, Sh
Without being told Maria knew why Max was acting different, she could remember her words yesterday morning and she felt bad about it. As she sat in the sitting room she heard a strong knock on the door she was startled“Do you want to break down my door?” she yelled as she walked to the door and opened it to she Yvonne “Yvonne?” Maria said and Yvonne quickly ran into the house before she could say another word. Maria was surprised at this attitude“Yvonne what is it again?” Maria said coming inside to sit down; Yvonne rested her head on the arm of the chair“Yvonne talk to me”“There’s a big problem” Yvonne said raising her head“Ok, what has he done again?” Maria asked“Its not about that faggot” she said loudly“Ok relax” “No I cant” she replied as she was sweating“Ok talk na”“A piece of paper just keeps following me around, even after I asked somebody to burn it, it came back to life” Yvonne said and Maria just stared at her in silence. The only thing Maria could thi
Yvonne drove fast into the main road“You shouldn’t have told your friend” a voice said“Get out of my head” she screamed She drove to nowhere in particular; she was on 3rd mainland bridge and right in the middle of the bridge her car started to slow down“Oh no” she said and tried all she could but nothing so she parked the car by the road, every other vehicle kept moving at a high speed. She tried starting it again but nothing happened. She stepped out of the car and walked to the front and opened the engine and stared at it not knowing what to do, she knew that those powers were working against her again, she heard the sound of someone hitting her car from behind, she was scared but went to the back to see who but she didn’t see anyone or any scratch. Suddenly there was a loud horn behind her, she turned as quickly as she could and is met face to face with a trailer heading to her at an incredible speed, she froze in fear not knowing what to do, most probably because r
Yvonne arrived at C.M.S an Anglican church in Lagos island, she entered the church it appeared to be a very large church, she saw someone sitting on one of the benches, she knew it was him so she walked over to him and sat beside him, he was in a black suit and red tie“Ok tell me what I forgot” she said“Let your friends arrive” he said without looking at her but seemed focus on the stone cross at the altar“How…. How did you know I called my friends” she looked surprised“Why is that stone cross on the altar” he asked ignoring her question“Excuse me? (she was surprised at the way he changed subject matters) I..I don’t know? Maybe its some kind of respect or something”“You speak like it means nothing” he said turning his face to her“Why? Should it mean a thing to me? I don’t even go to church, I stopped believing in God ever since I lost my parents who died in the church”“Maybe I should tell you this” he said“what”“God doesn’t care who believes in him or not”“Yeah,
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?

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
