Though I'm not good enough to mentor yet, but nothing do you jor.

What I discovered is some things one might feel is not too captivating is what people love, the one one felt is captivating is the one people think otherwise.

All I do now is to write like I'm the reader.

Well done dear

See suspense... Well, it's very good for the story. Bola is just too impatient and a jealous type. Emmanuel should be castrated. It's high time Romoke got her own apartment. Good work, more strength to you.

"mom, Iook what I have here"..... Dara smiled seating down on the sofa beside her mom who was busy with her phone. She brought out a small brown envelope and produced a picture of a lady on it.

".... and who is this? " her mom squinted her eyes as she collected the picture from her.

" it's Romoke. I was lucky enough to get her picture as well as her surname ". she took a sip from the blue liquid in a wine cup. She had gone to Emmanuel textile industry and she was happy she didn't meet Romoke in the office, she had asked about her from a colleague of her's called Sikemi and she had given her all the information she needed about Romoke without even asking her what she wanted to do with it.

" good, just leave it here with me. now the next step you have to take is to go to his house make sure you are all over him"....

noo o, I don't want to throw myself at him, I want him to beg me, you know,.... " she pouted her lips and blinked her eyes, Her mom stood up and started walking away from her.

" you know my problem with you, you don't listen to me. Yes, when mama talk to you, you listen. For now I don't have time for small talks" she walked away twisting her round body towards the direction of her room. Dara stood up and rushed to stand in front of her mom with tears in her face.

"you are not a good mother! You don't spend time with me, you don't talk to me like a good mother should. You just make decisions for me and you don't care if such decisions would endanger my life. That was how you told me to get rid of a pregnancy that cost me my womb! Have you no single human feelings? " a sound of " kpowai " was heard as Dara was slapped by her mom.

" you don't raise your voice at me. I am your mother! I own you. Even if I ask you to kill, you just have to do it cause, I am your mother!! the only reason I want to get you married to Ade is to take over Emmanuel textile industry or do you think I have your interest at heart? I do not, I can't kill my self because of you when you are not even mine! You are just a means to an end my dear! " the words blurted out of her mouth before she could stop herself, she saw Dara's eyes brighten at the news and watched her sit quietly on the floor crying. She needed to leave the house before Dara would start bombarding her with questions. She dashed out of the house with her car key and with the brown envelope in her hand, she got into her Range Rover sports, she breathed a sigh of relief and dialed a number.

"helo? "

" Theophilus"?

the masculine voice paused and then spoke back into the phone "MaMa"?

" yes, sugarboy I need to see you, I have a job for you to do and it's important please meet me at our regular spot"

He breathed into the phone " okay, I will be there in the next 45 minutes ".

" alryt" she hung up, now it is time to do the deal. She thought as she drove out of her duplex.

*********************************************************

Romoke had woken up to see herself at the hospital, remembering the incident that brought her to the hospital gave her a side headache as she struggled to sit on the soft hospital bed.

"Romoke, sorry huh? Just try to rest " she had called her colleague from work the other day, and she had really stayed with her till she woke up. Romoke smiled at her colleague who has always made it a tradition to wear long bogus skirts with her thick framed glasses sometimes she wondered if she removed it at all as it was difficult to detect if she was pretty. But of course she is a fair beauty who never wore makeups nor jewelries. Romoke wondered why but she was always nice to her.

"Sikemi, thank you so much, God bless you".

"actually God has already blessed me. Romoke I had a revelation about you this morning....... that evil people are after you. Please you need to follow me to my church for deliverance. Seriously " she adjusted her glasses.

" okay, I will think about it. anyone planning evil on me will go back to the sender o. Cause I don't think evil on anyone. " she was stopped by Ade's presence who in turn winked at her. Sikemi suddenly stood up and carried her black bag and muttered a good afternoon to Ade. He just ignored her and sat beside Romoke on the bed.

" okay, Romoke I will see you tomorrow ". She immediately left the room before she could answer back. Romoke faced Ade who was wearing a boyish grin. She immediately looked away before something happens between them.

" so what was that about"?

"what? " he played with her hands. He needed to tell her how he felt about her and how he wants to get married to her and wipe off her worries.

" you didn't answer her when she greeted. Are you guyz fighting"?
"fighting? Come on, am the boss remember? " Sikemi was the past he didn't want to go into for now. He cleared his throat.

" I don't believe her,.... I mean your friend Bola. You can never do that. I trust you Romoke and you mean the world to me..... I love you and I would want to spend the rest of my life with you. You are my friend, my adviser, my everything. This past few months really made me realize that I can't leave without you..."
His phone rang, he groaned, his mom was calling him at the wrong time, he signaled to Romoke and excused himself from the ward.

"Helo mom, I know that I was supposed to come home last weekend but am sorry I couldn't, something came up and am really sorry "

" Ade, how is Dara doing"

"Dara? We haven't seen each other for quite sometime now"

"okay, but you people should hurry up and get married o! So that I can carry my grandchildren " she laughed.

" sorry mom, what are you talking about? Dara and I are not dating not to talk of getting married ". Ade cleaned his sweaty face with his palms as he found a place to sit at the reception.

" you just have to get married to her o! "

" don't be ridiculous mom, you and I know that I can't date her so why are you suddenly pushing this? " he heard his mom sob and was talking with tears stricken voice.

" it's not my fault o.......... If you don't get married to her the video would be exposed and I might end up going to jail and your dad will end up divorcing me". Ade sprang up like he had just been injected. What was his mother talking about? and what video could cause her to loose so much.

"mom what's happening? What video"?

Martha blew her nose into the brown handkerchief the woman sitting beside her in the Bus, sneered at her in disgust. Martha turned away her face to the window, she hissed her life was a complete mess she thought. She wondered if she was cursed cause evil always roamed about her. She remembered the day she went to Blessing's stores and when the unwise attendant had given her money, food, phone number and address of Blessing's house. She had been attacked by two haggard robbers they had collected her money and had took turns in sleeping with her as if that was not enough, they had cleaned her womanhood with a piece of cloth and absconded. She wiped her eyes with the back of her palm. She is going to give this unborn child of her's a new beginning she thought. She had been lucky enough to get a job in a yogurt factory as a cleaner and lucky enough to share a room with a nice lady that works in a brothel. She smiled sadly, looking at the address on the paper, she wasn't even sure if it was Blessing's house, she just wanted to know cause she wanted to find Theophilus. She blamed herself for not knowing Blessing's house initially. She hoped Theophilus would forgive her and take care of their baby, she smiled.

"madam come down, na the last stop be this". the balded conductor shook her roughly as she was already sleeping.

"madam I say come down! no Come die for here" he thundered. She opened her eyes and dragged her heavy self down the bus, she held on to her only black bag in the world like her life depended on it. the gown she wore was the only knee length gown that still gave her fitting all her other clothes were too big for her as she had grown thinner and darker as a result of malnutrition, Her once nice figure 8 had become a straight figure the only thing that never decreased we her boobs. She had gotten to the area, the area looked and smelt local except for some few modern houses built with cement, the others were mere mud houses. She began walking further into the street and looking around the houses trying to check their numbers. She drew closer to a modern flat and she saw a woman washing her clothes, and there was a car packed in front of it. She was sure it was the only compound that had a car in the whole area. She shook her head as she drew closer to the woman to ask her for the direction of 'number 24'.

"gud afternoon.... Please am looking for number 24......." her voice trailed off as the woman turned to face her, she was shocked as she kept her mouth open.

"Blessing!!, I can't believe this. You didn't even check on me, I went to your shop at the market but it was already replaced by a very big store and it had your name on it, my friend have really missed you dear. My friend have really been suffering o! " she sat on an empty chair beside her friend who was still standing.

" you have not even suffered enough this is just the beginning and you haven't seen anything, " blessing tied her scarf on her waist.

" ahnahn, why are you saying all these? My Boss traveled and I felt lonely that is why...............I have come to you house, or are we fighting"?

"yes, we are fighting who doesn't know that your Boss threw you out of the house ehnnn"?

"how do you know? " Martha stood up to face Her friend.

" cause I made your Boss throw you out of the house,..... Remember the whitish substance I gave you and I told you it was a love charm......... I lied, the substance was meant to make ur Boss hate you and it worked. You like to reap where you never sowed " blessing spat and eyed her friend who was already crying.

" why do you hate me this much? " Blessing hissed she had hated her when she first snatched her boyfriend from her then, Her working class boyfriend Edet, she had slept with him and it made her started seeking for ways to revenge since then and she was glad she found a way to revenge.

"I hate you..... For your information I own Blessing's STORES and am married as well". Martha broke down afresh crying profusely. Then she cleaned her tears and decided to ask about the one thing that brought her.

"do you know where Theophilus lives? I want to see him please if you know anything about him please let me know? " Blessing busted into laughter, Martha wondered why her friend turned enemy was laughing, just then she saw a man come out of the house her eyes brightened in familiarity, she knew the face as the man was also surprised to see her

" Martha!! "

*********************************************************
" mom this is a serious offense, does dad know about this"? Ade paced in his parent's highly furnished room, his father had travelled so there was no body to here what were talking about. His mom had told him about the video she and Dara's mother had made during their university days. Ade rolled back his sleeves, he found it hard to believe that his mother had killed before. She claimed the exam officer of her department threatened to make her graduate with a pass degree if she doesn't s.uck his d.ick only. and that had been all new and disgusting to a learner at then. So she had reported him to Dara's mother, and Sarah who was the leader of a well known cultists group then, and she had offered to help her. They had gone to the the exam officer's house and Sarah had killed the man's pregnant wife with no mercy and she and her girls took turns on the man after they had injected him. and Sarah had ordered her to slit the man's throat and she had done that fearfully after which Sarah told her that she had recorded the scene in a camera incase she didn't cooperate.

Mrs Jacobs blew her nose into her handkerchief as she rested her back to the wall.

"mom, I know you didn't mean to do it don't worry I will handle the situation".

"Ade you have to get married to Dara please"

"mom please relax, I can't marry Dara but I have to do something about it cause if I don't, she will keep on blackmailing you with the video"

"so what are you going to do? I don't want you hurting yourself with this too " Ade stood up and picked his carkey .

" don't worry mom, I am going to address the issue". He pated his mom and Walked away.
