Donovan watched as Boma continued to stare at him, speechless."You're supposed be in a dress and this-" He observed her fully now, noting the slight swell of her handbag. The little ruffling of her well styled hair and somewhat smeared make up indicating a quick change of clothes.He shook his head unable to comprehend what was happening. His jaw tightened with suspicion and disappointment gearing towards anger."Where have you been, Boma?" He asked, his voice calm but stony. "Where are you coming from?"He noted the logo on the top she was wearing. Wasn't that the new restaurant he had been hoping to check out?"Explain yourself!" he half growled. "Christ!" He started looking around. "Where is Sharon?" He said through gritted teeth. Then he took out his phone and began calling her phone.Sharon was sipping water when her phone rang with Donovan's call. Without thinking much, she took the call."Get back here, right now." Donovan said before she could speak a word. Then he ended the c

Boma sniffled. "Please." She started pleading.Donovan was moved to indulge her but this time, he decided otherwise. "Number four," he continued. "You will not be home late because of any night shifts. You will be home latest by 8:00 Pm." Boma continued to cry but he didn't stop. "By 8:00 pm you should already be in the house. This means you're leaving your work place by 7:30 pm in order to meet up this deadline. That's because you must have adequate rest and be alert for your studies. Number 5- ""D, please-" She tearfully pleaded again. "Please stop.""I'm not finished. Don't interrupt me again."Her crying continued, softer now but heavy with turmoil."Since you want to work, it means I no longer have to give you money. I best allow you to fend for yourself and have the experience you so desperately need."She vehemently shook her head, alarmed. "No please," she nearly choked on the words as a sob escaped her lips bringing a fresh outburst of tears."No?" He questioned. "I thought

Donovan stood outside talking with his men shortly before bed. He and Boma were at his place and their families had left the island as soon as the party was over.Ronald stayed back at a suite in the governor's lodge. Being grand patron of Donovan's cult, it was an opportunity for the student members to meet him briefly and Donovan was making arrangements for that meeting. Ronald was scheduled to return to the city the following day.Boma caught a glimpse of Donovan chatting with Phillip and Standfast outside. She got into the room and put a call across to Fidelis. She needed to talk to someone about her ordeal.His phone rang without an answer, so she called again. This time a girl responded."Hello." She said.Boma was speechless. Who was this girl? Fidelis never mentioned he was seeing someone."Um, he's in the bathroom, sorry. But he said I can take the call."Boma frowned. The girl's voice sounded familiar, but she could not place her finger on it."Oh. Okay. Please have him call

Without a word, he rolled off her and stood at the foot of the bed, bare-chested. Then he turned on the light, brightening up the cozy bedroom. It was a contrast to the tension between the two at the moment."You're going to talk, Boma." He said. "Because I can tell, he said something to you.""He did not." She cried out. "I swear, Ronald did not say anything to me." He turned away from her and moved to the closet.She sat up in alarm as she saw what he was doing. It was an all too familiar scene. The determined look, the tightened jaw, the stony gaze, the menacing belt he was retrieving and folding in half.She didn't want to go back to that life again. She began shaking her head fervently. Then she recoiled to the headboard of the bed. "No, D please, you promised."He took slow determined steps as he approached her."Tell me what Ronald said to you, or I am prepared to go back on my word tonight.""Please." She whined. "He did not-""I'm not playing with you, Boma. You know me all t

Ronald stared at Donovan for a beat. He wasn't surprised that Donovan was standing up to him. He had always been proud of him because he was his replica. But now, he was disappointed."I cannot believe you are turning your back against me.""This is not about me turning my back against you." Donovan replied. "This is about you respecting my marital home."Ronald's intimidating stare failed to make Donovan flinch. Ronald rose. "I guess we are done here." He said dismissively.Donovan rose. "Grandpa, please try and understand-""We are done here." He snapped. "You are no longer the man I thought you were becoming, strong, in charge, in control. You have become weak. A woman- a girl has weakened you. Remember I warned you against this. But I guess you did not listen. First your dream of having children early is now dead. Then you have let her add her father's name instead of answering just your name. Now you both live separately. Who knows what else she will make you do? Huh? Who knows?"

Donovan started the car and hit the road."How was the tutor by the way?""She's awesome." Boma said warmly."Wow, judging by those two words, I can see you were impressed." he observed."Yes. She explains things really well."Donovan was pleased with the report."That's great to know." He said.TWO DAYS LATERBoma was on the evening shift for her first day of work. None of her colleagues agreed to switch, hence she had to work even though it clashed with her home class.At about 3:00pm, Donovan dropped by to see her and stayed until the tutor arrived at 4:30 pm. Teni watched from the window at Boma's apartment as Boma saw Donovan off to his car. He kissed her goodbye. As they shared a kiss, Teni turned her face away, her jaw tightening.She took out her phone and stared at the photograph of a beautiful girl. Then she deleted it.***Boma returned to the house and met Teni inside. They both waited until Donovan was gone."Thanks for covering for me, okay? I promise to keep to time by

As the car rolled along the dimly lit streets, Boma's mind churned with a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts and emotions. She stole glances at Teni, wondering if she should confide in her, even though she could not help but feel a sense of unease settle in the pit of her stomach. Would Teni understand? Teni noticed Boma's troubled expression and furrowed her brows. "Is everything alright, Boma?" she inquired, her voice laced with concern.Boma hesitated, her fingers nervously fiddling with the straps of her bag. "I'm not sure, honestly," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "Donovan's on his way to my place with surprise chocolates, which should make me happy, but- I'm also nervous."Teni arched an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "Nervous? Why's that?""It's just-" Boma struggled to find the right words, her thoughts jumbled. "He was with me earlier when you came for our tutoring session, right?"Teni nodded. "Well, if he sees you dropping me off after work, he'll defini

Boma shrugged. "She's really friendly.""You guys just met, please. It sounds odd."Boma wanted to confess but held back. She realized Teni would help her in maintaining her job just the way she had done the previous day. If Teni really liked her then Teni was an asset.With that thought, she smiled. "I like her. She makes me understand really well.""Hmm. Okay, what can I say? Thank God she's not a guy."Boma could feel guilt pangs hitting her but she fought them off and just smiled. He smiled at her. But then, she noticed his demeanor darken a bit."Is everything alright?" She asked."The elections. I'm quite worried. I want the students to be happy. I need to do things they will like. I know I'm no saint but, I still like to be impactful. You know me, I'm a leader. Harry is out there just trying to compete with me, really. I still hold a kind of soft spot for him and he knows it. He knows what I can do but he still tempts me. I don't want to hurt him."Boma was touched to see him op

The day of the election for the Student Union President position had arrived, and tension gripped Wilberforce Island University as everyone eagerly awaited the candidates' manifesto.The auditorium where the event took place was filled with students, observers and management of the school. While some students genuinely wanted the best person to win, others' judgments were clouded by favoritism, influenced by their connections to the candidates. It was unfortunate, but this was the reality they all had to contend with.As Harry stepped up to the podium, Donovan sat poised in his seat, his eyes fixed on his opponent with an unreadable gaze. Dressed in a sharp suit, Donovan exuded an air of confidence and authority, his presence commanding attention even in the midst of a crowded auditorium.Boma's friend Hilda leaned over, her voice barely above a whisper. "Look at Donovan," she murmured, her eyes tracing the lines of his profile. "He's positively captivating, isn't he? So handsome and

Outside the auditorium, amidst the throng of students eagerly awaiting the election results, Boma's friends engaged in nervous chatter."I have confidence that Donovan will win." Hilda remarked, her eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of movement. "Still, one can't help but be worried. Harry has fans too."Boma chewed on her lip, her gaze flickering towards the entrance of the auditorium where the voting was taking place. "I know, right?" she replied, her voice laced with apprehension. "I can't believe I'm worried over Donovan's status.""You're in love now, my friend. And he's got my vote," Hilda declared proudly, offering Boma a reassuring smile. "And I know he's got yours too."Boma nodded, a sense of pride swelling within her chest. "Of course," she affirmed. "I believe in him."As they waited anxiously for the results, Teni caught Boma's eye from across the courtyard and waved in her direction. Boma returned the gesture with a tentative smile, though she couldn't shake the unease
