NOTE: We won't be seeing Nene for a while.

DARA

"Aunt Dara,  Aunt Dara!!" Olanna rushed to her sister in law's room a look of panic in her eyes.
"Lana what is it,  what's wrong?" Dara turned to Olanna immediately she heard the girl's distressed call.
"I...i.. Came back from school and met mama in the room.  She's not looking good,  she has pocks all over, I don't know....please come and see for yourself" Olanna said pulling Dara's hand.

Dara felt a little guilty, she'd been home all day with her mother in law and she didn't know the woman was unwell.

When she'd come downstairs earlier and not seen mama lounging around the living room waiting to trouble her,  she simply assumed it was because mama's partner in crime Adanna was gone. She didn't think the woman was sick,  she simply felt mama had isolated herself because she was lonely.

A foul smell greeted her as she got into the room,  Dara felt the urge to throw up.  She controlled the urge and rushed to look at her mother in law.  Olanna's explanation was an understatement, mama was covered in pocks and black rash.  The foul odour emanating from her was probably due to the pus coming out of her pocks.

Dara placed her hand over her mouth and gasped in horror,  mama had been perfectly well yesterday. She didn't look sick during dinner,  how could this possibly have developed.

"Call Sunday to come quickly, we have to take Mama to the hospital" Dara instructed Olanna before rushing out of the room to get her car keys and her phone.

She dialed Jidenna's number but he didn't answer, even after five rings.  She sent him a text asking him to meet her at the hospital.

Sunday came in seconds later with Olanna. Since Dara still couldn't find her car keys, she decided to use the family van that they only used whenever they were going to Enugu.

"Blood of Jesus!" Sunday exclaimed.

"Sunday take her legs, I'll take her arms. Olanna take the keys and unlock the door" Dara said. The two of them carried out her instruction, Sunday and Dara deposited mama in the Car.

Dara got into the driver's seat while Olanna sat in front beside her, Sunday was asked to wait to wait at home in case anyone showed up looking for them.


"I haven't seen a thing like this Dara, it's a good thing you brought her over to the hospital. What if you'd endangered yourself, who knows if it's contagious. I suggest you go in for a test, and anyone else who had contact with her. No one is allowed to go close to your mother in law till our test results come out" Doctor Patience said.

"Thank you doctor, I didn't think of the dangers. I just saw her, panicked and decided to bring her here" Dara said a look of worry crossed her features. What if she'd endangered Olanna, herself and the gate man.

"I'll also contact our experts to go over to your house and check if the problem is from a virus or toxic in the house, I don't think it's wise for any of you to return to your home till our experts are done with their tests. Ensure that your sister in law and gate man get tested too, if anything comes up I'll call you" Doctor patience smile pleasantly before walking away.

Dara sighed and dipped her hand in her pocket for her phone again. She'd tried reaching Jidenna but he hadn't answered. What if he was also in danger?

"Mrs Okolie, Please come with me so I can take your blood samples" A nurse came towards her.

"Go with my sister in-law first, I'll try contacting my gate man and my husband again" Dara said.

"Alright, miss?" The nurse beckoned to Olanna who was looking scared to the bones.

"Don't worry Olanna,mama will be fine. Go with the nurse" Dara assured her sister in law. Olanna nodded and followed the nurse.

Not long after Olanna and the nurse had left , a text notification popped up in Dara's phone. Dara read the short message
'We need to talk, I've done something terrible'

Richard.

"Have you bothered to go check on Nene?" my mother queried me.

"Mum...why would he go check on her,  he's free now.  Nene is  no longer his wife.  You should be happy for your son, he's no longer in bondage" Idara said smiling uncomfortably under his mother's stare .
"At the expense of his child, why couldn't you wait till the baby was born and at least a year old?" his mother asked.

"It's not his fault Ma, Nene should have thought about her child before drinking herself to stupor" Idara hissed, why was his mother even concerned about a girl who had treated her son like crap?

"You should have told Richard that you were going to tell Nene's father before breaking the news to her family. And what were you thinking when you told them immediately that you wanted to full custody?" Richard's mother asked.

"Excuse me ma,  I know how to do my job. Are you in any way insinuating  that I'm the cause of Nene's miscarriage?"  Idara asked.

"She's not saying that Idara, look mum can we not talk about this?" Richard turned to his mother, he was grieving too.

Idara sighed, if anything his mother should be grateful to her.  Why did she even care about the stupid Nene girl.  Nene didn't even care about Richard, if she did she wouldn't have lied that  she'd lost the baby.   Nene was stupid and immature, she didn't know the value of Richard. Idara obviously knew the value of that kind of man and she wasn't letting him go.

"Richie,  why don't we go over to my house. You seem tensed, worked up and stressed.  Let me help" Idara caressed his arms.

"I'm fine Idara,  I'm sorry about the way mum talked to you" Richard said.

"It doesn't matter,  she'll come around soon.  It's you I'm worried about, how are you holding up?" Idara asked.

"I'm alright, I don't know why Nene would see me though. Maybe I should just give her a little time to grieve" Richard said.

Idara inwardly rolled her eyes, again with this Nene chick. "Richard forget about Nene  for now,  don't tell me all the efforts used to secure you a problem free divorce is in vain? Do you want her back?" Idara asked and held her breath waiting for his answer.

"Idara she was my wife and at some point the mother of my unborn child ,  it's only natural that I should think about her often" Richard frowned.

"You were not married up to a year Richard, and the child wasn't even born yet" Idara whispered under her breath but Richard heard her.

"Let me see you off Idara" He said coldly.

"I'll check on you tomorrow Richard, Richard please remember that I'm always here for you. If you need anything call me" Idara smiled.

"Thank you Id,  I appreciate everything you've done for me" Richard said.

'Clearly not enough. if you did, you'll be proposing love and devotion to me' Idara thought bitterly.

She wasn't going to give up on Richard yet, she had to have him.

DARA

Dara was stressed out, she'd been at the hospital for hours and she still hadn't gotten a call or at least a text from her husband.
She'd didn't have the slightest idea on what to do, she tried calling Adanna but Adanna as expected did not answer her calls.

"Have you tried uncle J again?" Olanna asked coming to sit beside Dara. She looked sleepy but she'd refused to leave the hospital. Dara pulled Olanna closer and shook her head.

"Let's worry about mama for now, I'm sure your brother will call us in the morning. He's probably tied up in work" Dara said rubbing the girl's house comfortingly.

"It's been hours, why is he not picking? And big sis Adanna too isn't answering. What's their problem?" Olanna sounded frustrated. Dara didn't know how to comfort the girl, she was also feeling frustrated.

Her battery had died after she'd gotten that troubling text from Cassie. She wondered briefly what kind of trouble Cassie had gotten into.

"Olanna, we have to find a hotel to lodge in. Tomorrow we'll come and check on mama" Dara said. They couldn't go home because the doctor suspected their house had been contaminated by the virus that was affecting mama.

She'd tried calling Jidenna to warn him not to go home but he wasn't answering. Hopefully the house was not contaminated and if he went home he wouldn't be infected.

"Aunt Dara have you tried brother Obinna?" Olanna asked about her big brother who worked as Jidenna's assistant manager. Obinna lived with them but he was barely around because he spent most time with his girlfriend.

"I don't have his number Olanna and my phone is switched off. I'm tired Lana, I don't know what to do. Tomorrow we'll look for a way to contact all of them." Dara decided.

They left the hospital minutes later and checked into a nearby hotel. Good thing Dara never left the house without her credit cards if not she and Lana would have been stranded. She'd begged one of the room attendants to get a charger for her phone and plugged it in once she got it.

She couldn't sleep all night, Lana couldn't sleep either. They were both restless wondering if mama would make it through the night. She wasn't exactly mama's biggest fan but she didn't wish for such a disease on the old woman.

Jidenna already had enough on his plate, he didn't need a sick mother to take care of either, Dara thought sadly. What could have possibly gotten mama so sick? it was terrible.

"I don't want mama to die" Olanna whispered scared. Her hand curled around her sister in law's hand.

"I don't want that either Lana, she'll be fine. Get some rest and don't think about it. The doctors will find away to take care of her infection" Dara assured her.

"I hope so" Olanna said. Few minutes later she slid into sleep leaving just Dara awake.


"How is she doctor?" Dara asked the minute she ran into the doctor at the hospital's reception.

"She's not improving, we're running some more tests. Oh your husband's here" The doctor said.

Dara was surprised, he'd probably gone home and Sunday had informed him that they were at the hospital. She saw him waiting at the lobby, phone in hand. She was about to yell at him the minute she got to him when she saw the dark circles under his eyes and his rumpled state.

He looked angry when he saw her "Where have you been? I've trying to reach you since last night" he said harshly.

"You're the one to talk, why weren't you answering your phone? I've been trying to reach you since I brought mama here, you didn't reply my text or my calls" Dara said equally angry.

"Ada is in the hospital, she's in terrible condition Dara. I've been with her since yesterday, Emeka was away on business" Jidenna said.

"Have you seen mama?" Dara asked.

"No, she's in a private ward. Doctor wouldn't let me see her" Jidenna said.

"She's worse, she has sores and pocks and black rash all over. I don't know how if just happened, doctor said it's a virus. We aren't allowed to go home till our house is safe enough to live in" Dara sighed.

"Yes, I met Sunday at the gate. He filled me in, I'm sorry you had to go through that alone. Where's Olanna?" Jidenna asked.

"At the hotel, she's distraught. I couldn't let her come with me. She's emotionally drained. What's wrong with Ada?" Dara asked.

"She's become a vegetable Dara, she can't move, talk or do anything. The worse part is the doctor doesn't think it's stroke, they don't know what's wrong with her. I'm going out of my mind Dara, I've gotten Obinna to baby sit her kids. Perhaps we could take Olanna there too" Jidenna suggested.

Dara nodded and wrapped her arms around her husband. "I'm scared, I thought something was wrong with you. We'll go through this together" Dara said rubbing his back.

"I know..." Jidenna responded. Dara's phone buzzed ruining the moment. She pulled away and checked the caller but it wasn't Cassie, it was an unknown caller.

She answered the call. "Hello" she said wondering who was probably calling her.

'Is this Mrs Dara Okolie?' The caller asked.

'Speaking, how may I help you?' she asked.

'It's about your daughter, you have to come now. She's convulsing, you have to hurry here now' the caller said.

Dara's breath hitched as she turned to Jidenna who was looking at her with questioning eyes. "It's Olanna" she said weakly.

CASSIE

"What's going on Cassandra?" Richard asked looking at Cassie intently. He couldn't understand why Cassie hadn't told her husband the truth.

"Why didn't you tell Tobi his brother was hitting you? " Richard asked.
Cassie looked at him sourly "Can we not talk about it Richard please. Forget Dele and Tobi. I want to know how you're doing" Cassie asked.

"I'm fine, Nene has refused to see me. I just want to know how she's doing. I know Nene didn't want a baby at first, she freaked out a lot and said she didn't want it. After a while, I watched her grow to love the baby, that was the only thing that mattered in our marriage. I know she's hurt and angry." Richard said.

Cassie looked a little guilty but it wasn't her place to tell him the truth. She hoped Nene would realize her mistakes and tell Richard the truth.

"What ever that's going on in your home, you should confide in your husband. Secrets are no help when it comes to matrimony" Richard advised.

"It's not easy" Cassie's eyes watered. How could she come clean and tell Tobi the truth. What would become of her? He couldn't divorce her, he would probably leave the house for her and let her live in misery for the rest of her marital life.

"What exactly is the problem Cassie?" he asked.

"Don't worry about it, it's getting late. I should probably head home now" Cassie said checking her watch.

"I'll take you home" Richard offered. If only Cassie had known what a bad idea that was. She didn't know Tobi was suspicious about her friendship with Richard.

"You told me you were going to see Dara" Tobi said coldly the minute.

"I wasn't able to reach Dara so I decided to call..." Tobi interrupted Cassie.

"You decided to contact Richard" he crossed his arms against his chest. He couldn't get why Cassie would go out with Richard of all people. How long had they been going out together?

"Not now Tobi, please I don't feel too well" Cassie said going into the bedroom. She sat on the bed feeling depressed.

Tobi followed not willing to take her excuses tonight. "What's going on with you and Richard?" he asked, he wasn't one to hide his jealousy.

Cassie sighed and rolled her eyes. She knew instantly that Dele was planting ideas in her husband's head. "Really Tobi, if I was going to cheat on you would I do it with my friend's ex husband?" Cassie asked tiredly.

"I don't know Cassandra, I do know you've been lying to me a lot these days. What's going on, it's better you tell me before I find out" Tobi said.

"I have a headache Tobi, enough with this talk. I'm not hiding anything from you" she said, the lie tasted sour in her mouth.

"If you say so" Tobi said coldly and walked out of the room. Cassie turned to her side too weak to go after him.

In the morning, he was gone before she woke up. She hoped Dele wouldn't bother her today but her hopes were dashed when the devil walked into her room.

"I feel like I haven't seen you in ages, you're doing a good job hiding yourself from me and that stunt you pulled with Tobi" he tutted. "Well played Cassie" Dele said sitting on the side of the bed.

"What do you want Dele?" Cassie asked tiredly. She didn't have the strength to fight him.

"I've missed you" he leaned down to smother her cheeks with kisses. "My sweet pet" he murmured.

Cassie recoiled and wiped her cheeks. "Stop it Dele, I've given you everything. Just leave me alone... " Cassie begged.

"I can't leave you, I love you. Soon you'll learn to love me, we'll leave this bloody country and go somewhere else to start a family. What do you think of Europe?" He asked grinning.

"I'm your brother's wife!" Cassie spat.

"I don't care, he took away the woman I love. I will take his, the good thing is I love you too. And there's a possibility that you might be carrying my child after all I've been trying for weeks" Dele smirked.

"Child..." Cassie swallowed visibly. "You told me you're sterile. You said you couldn't have children!" Cassie yelled at him.

"I lied obviously. if I'd told you that I could have kids, you'd have taken some sort of contraceptive to get rid of my seeds" Dele said.

Tears welled up in her eyes "You bastârd!" she spat.

Dele laughed harshly "You might be carrying a bastârd too, the good thing is you wouldn't even be sure if it was mine or Tobi's so you can't contemplate abortion. After the baby's birth there will be a paternity test" Dele said coldly.

"That's if I get pregnant, if you think of touching me again I will kill you" Cassie threatened.

"Don't worry I won't be touching you again, you're right I've done enough" Dele said and pressed his hand to Cassie's forehead.

"You look sick, you might want to see a doctor. Who knows what you're carrying" Dele winked getting up from the bed.

Cassie paled at his words and her hand instantly went to her stomach. She hoped Dele was not right. This was terrible, really terrible.
