031 — FUNERAL SHENANIGANS

AMANIOur financial situation has been horrible for the past few days. I can barely keep up with my rent and I have to save up just to afford food everyday.Why am I saying this?I’ve been so broke that I wasn’t able to afford a proper headstone for my son’s grave. I already planned to have a beautiful headstone installed for him next month when I had enough money. Right now, I stare at that same grave that was just a heap of sand the day before, my mouth half open in shock.“Who did this?” I whisper in disbelief.It’s beautiful.Someone built a tombstone for my son overnight. It’s in the shape of his favourite cartoon character, Lightning Macqueen. Yes, the tomb is shaped like a toy car. It even has headlights, and there’s a small rectangular opening in the middle for his casket.I’ve never seen anything like it in my entire life.When my shock finally abates, I cannot help the smile of pure happiness that curves my lips. I'm sure Little Dave is probably giggling and clapping his ha

032 — DEALING WITH THE EX-HUSBAND

AMANIDIVORCE AGREEMENT…My fingers are still trembling as I look up to meet Bhyron’s confident gaze.“You got him to sign it.” I whisper in disbelief. “How? Why?”He steeples his long fingers, his eyes gleaming wickedly.“Look at the edge of the paper.”My eyes fall to the edge of the paper and my stomach tightens when I find it soaked with red liquid.My head snaps upwards and for the first time, I notice the tiny red spots on Bhyron’s collar.“Wait… is that blood?”The confidence in Bhyron’s eyes does not waver when he says;“Sure it is. But it’s not mine.”The atmosphere seems to drop by a few hundred degrees. My heart is currently pounding wildly against my ribcage;“Did you kill him?” He shrugs; “I almost did. But in the end, I decided to leave him with a couple of broken limbs, a broken nose and one swollen eye. He might end up having to crawl all the way his car, and his nose might never look the same again, but that’s okay. He’ll survive.”A strange mixture of shock and horr

033 — NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY AUNT OPHELIA

AMANIAunt Ophelia hurriedly wipes her eyes and forces a smile;“It’s nothing, sweetie. Just something in my eyes.”I know she’s lying, and I want to ask again. Then it occurs to me that she might not actually feel comfortable talking about her problem when Bhyron and Jay are in the room. So I turn to him and lift my chin;“Uh… thanks for dropping me off. You can leave now.”His jaw is set at a stubborn angle and I know he wants to argue with me. So I add; “just leave, Bhyron. I’ll give you a call later.”His jaw eases. Then he leans forward and growls very, very softly; “I’m looking forward to that call. If I don’t see it by midnight, I’ll come to you in person to find out why.”On a normal day, I’d brush off his threat. But after getting to know the new Bhyron, I’ve realized that this man is capable of anything. And he’s unpredictable as hell. So I just nod.“Of course.”He opens his mouth to say something else but closes it a second later and stalks out of the room without looking

034 — ZURI BENTHAM!!

AMANII’m still struggling to pick my jaw off the floor but Aunt Ophelia is not done speaking.“I really thought he liked me. I didn’t know he worked with the Gunam brothers.”I stare at her wide-eyed.“You really thought he liked you? Aunt, you’re a married woman. Do you realize that you’ve been cheating on your husband?”She keeps her face lowered to the ground.“Thorn and I are not currently the best of friends.”“What do you mean?”When she looks up, her eyes are clouded with sadness. “Thorn’s mother isn’t actually sick. He just went over there because our marriage has really been… strained lately. We’ve been fighting a lot. We barely see eye to eye. Everything is falling apart.” Another sniff.“The main reason I cheated years ago was because I…” a deep breath. “I caught Thorn kissing his Personal Assistant when I paid him a surprise visit once. I was so upset that that same night, I ended up in the strip club where I met Desmond.”My brain is currently whirling with shock. Images

035 — THE MALE STRIP CLUB

AMANIZuri Bentham is someone you would call a wild woman. I’ve never met a more beautiful combination of nerd and total slut in my entire life.I met her in the second week of college. I mistakenly drove my bicycle into her ex-boyfriend, Scott, and the next day, a strange number called me, thanking me profusely for causing harm to the “bat-eyed dork” and asking if I wanted ice cream for compensation.Yes, I was shocked as hell. Thankfully, her ex did not press charges. Weirdly, she kept calling and kept offering to take me on a date. At one point, I thought she was a psycho homosexual who was addicted to the sound of my voice or something.Finally, one sunny afternoon, when I had nothing going on with my life and therefore no excuses, I finally agreed to go out with her.I was not expecting a voluptuous, doe-eyed young lady with a head full of long blue hair and a mouth sharper than a brand new razor. It was love at first sight. Ever since that day, we’ve been inseparable.Zuri is

036 — SINFUL DECADENCE…

BHYRON“What did you say?” Duke growls down the line, his voice oozing with serious intensity.“You heard me. Zuri Bentham is back in New York.”A shuffle comes over the line and a corner of my lips tip in a grin when I realize that he’s pacing. Between both of us, Duke is always the calm one. While I believe in loud, fiery destruction, my best friend is a fan of cold, underground action.I have only ever seen him aggravated once — the first day he set his eyes on Zuri Bentham. The woman is barely five feet tall but she almost made my six foot four giant of a best friend lose his ever loving mind.“Where is she?” His voice is dark. My smile grows wider.“I’ve got no idea. You tell me.”“Hold on.”The line goes dead and I lean against my car and take a deep breath, waiting for Duke’s call.Duke is a computer wizard. The last time they met, he put a tracker on Zuri’s cellphone so he could always know her location, even while she was in London.She doesn’t know about this, of course. O

037 — THE SULLIVAN BROTHERS

I don’t hate my grandmother and Uncle Scott.Why do I hate them? The Sullivan twins have been in a silent competition with me for as long as I can remember. Both brothers are always watching my every step and copying my business moves ninety percent of the time.When I decided to go into construction, Sullivan Technology went into construction.

38 — THE KNIFE WOUND

AMANI“Zuri? Come on, we have to go.” My brain is still spinning in shock as I watch Duke lift Zuri into his arms. I finally swing to action when he starts walking towards the exit. I shove to my feet and block his path. “Where the hell do you think you’re going with my best friend? Release her. Now.”I silently register that I’ve never seen Duke this angry. I can glimpse darkness in his eyes as he stares at me;“Get out of the way, Amani.”I’m shaking like a leaf inside, but I fold my arms and lift my chin, trying to appear brave.“No way. There’s no way in hell that I’m letting you leave with her. That’s kidnapping. You could hurt her.”Bhyron walks to Duke’s side, equally staring at me like I’m a nuisance; “Duke would cut off his left arm before hurting Zuri. She’s in safe hands.”My eyes narrow in confusion.“Do you know her? What’s your relationship with her?” My question is directed at Duke.I don’t miss the fierce gleam in Duke’s eyes as his gaze falls to Zuri’s face;“It’s

39 — DICKHEAD AND PORCUPINE

AMANITHE NEXT DAYIf I give my best friend one more call and she doesn’t respond, girls and boys, I’m calling the police.Last night was hectic. After trying hard to convince Bhyron to let me go home alone, he still stuffed me into one of his cars with Jay and made sure that after dropping me off, that poor man stayed outside my house on guard duty until the crack of dawn.I went downstairs by three AM to offer him a compensatory glass of cheap wine and convince him to go home. I even swore on my mother’s pretty grave that I wouldn’t tell on him. Not only did that cold-eyed man reject my precious wine, he also refused to go home. I gave up and tried to go to bed, but Bhyron’s subtle threats and my worry for Zuri kept me up all night.I tried calling her and Duke’s phone numbers over and over again. It just went straight to voicemail.Now, it’s almost twelve noon and I’m over here, nearly going out of my mind with worry and wondering if I can find Duke’s office address on the interne

040 — THE BRIDE

AMANI“How did you find out about this?”Duke scoffs;“I’m insulted that you would ask me that. Anyways, I received inside information from Sky Valley bank that twenty million dollars left Zuri’s company account. According to them, the money is on its way to a private account.The entire situation seemed suspicious as hell, so I contacted my inside person in Zuri’s accounts department. Luckily for me, my contact had facilitated the transaction himself. According to him, the money was sent to a private account. On further investigations, I found out that the account is owned by one Ophelia Thorn, and the title of the transaction was: ‘debt payment.’How much is Amani owing you again?”Anger swirls in my throat, hot and venomous. But I can’t ignore the pride beneath that anger.Little Caramel really thought she could escape my trap so easily. I did not wait for her so patiently for six years only to be defeated just like that.“I can hear your devious mind scheming. What’s your plan?”I
