Micheal was just so hurt. It not good to be an orphan! No matter how good you have it, you will still need your parents and real family at one point or the other. What a nice and interesting story!
Say no to domestic violence.

Same way i feel for claire too, she must have gone through a lot been an orphan yet she stuck to doing what is right.

Initially i didn't trust chantel but it seems that she wants to prove me wrong by being the sister that Amara never was to claire.

PamelB:
I'm sorry dear. I know I made that mistake at the beginning of the story but someone talked about it and I stopped. Secondly, I try to be versatile so as to accommodate everyone with what they enjoy in a story. Still, I'm sorry if it offended your faith somehow.

I'm sick guys.
But I'll update later in the evening.
Tanx for keeping d thread alive.

Is a gud thing u stop the sex part. Get well soon.

Get well soon dear. Pele.

Get well Pamel B

Kelvin stared at Chantal as she left the house. Wasn't she the lady who'd helped with Claire's party? What business does she have in the Njama house, with Amara at that? He shook his head and turned to see Michael matching towards Amara who was crying uncontrollably. He hastened his steps and closed the gap between the two.

"Michael, relax please let me handle this." Kelvin pleaded.

Michael looked at him with bloodshot eyes but stepped back a little

"Please." Kelvin added

Michael walked to a sofa and sat down, not taking his eyes away from Amara.

Kelvin nodded in appreciation before turning to Amara. He helped her sit before sitting close to her.

"How're you?" He asked, not knowing how to start.

Amara looked at him and bent her head. Chioma and Ifunanya chose that moment to appear with their bags, surprised at the conference going on in the sitting room.

"Good evening sirs." They greeted in unison.

"You may leave now. Take the rest of the week off." Michael said calmly.

The girls thanked him and quickly left the house while Kelvin looked at Michael for answers

"They're the new helpers I employed after Claire left." He explained.

"Oh. That's okay." Kelvin replied and turned to Amara

"Amara, where's Ebere?" He started

She turned to him as if a heavy blow had been thrown to her

"What's my business with where she is and where she is not?" She asked grudgingly, fresh tears running down her face.

Kelvin smiled while Michael sat up uncomfortably.

"We need her to be seated here. Don't you think it's time we talk about all that has happened so far?" He asked gently.

She stood up, looking down at him wickedly.

"There's nothing to talk about Kelvin. There's nothing........."

"That's where you lie you cheat. I'm trying my best to be gentle with you so if I were you, I'll just answer the question without stress." Michael said angrily.

There was silence in the room for a while before Amara broke into a laugh, putting the two friends into deep confusion.

*********
Ebere settled in her standard suite and took out her phone. She dialled Chika's number and the call was picked immediately.

"Hello soon to be Mrs." Chika exclaimed excitedly. "Sorry I didn't call earlier. Its my boss's birthday today and she came back just before I finished making dinner. Hope you're not angry?"

"No. I'm not. How is it going?"

"Fine o. Lots of cake to be munched by me and the other workers. I could waybill some to you as well."

Ebere wiped a tear and forced a smile.

"Wish her a happy birthday for me." She said, trying hard to hold the tears.

"Why. You sound different. Have you been crying? Are you sick? Did........"

"I left the house." Ebere broke down

Chika paused for a while before speaking up.

"Did they send you out of the house? Tell me." Chika asked calmly

"No. Amara did. Mr Michael went for a function and she came back and sent me out of there."

"And you left?"

"I had to. I can't fight for........."

"Now I know that you're sick. Why will you leave?"
Ebere quickly held the phone with her other hand and wiped her eyes with the other.

"Sometimes, I wonder if your head is intact at all. She asked you out and you left the house for her, who gave her the right? I'm sure you're very much older and stronger than her, what stopped you from beating Pharaoh out of her? Instead, as the good Samaritan that you are, you picked your bags and left the house for her in Mr Michael's absence. Abi you left without your bags?"

Ebere kept mute. Ifunanya had asked her not to leave, now, Chika was saying the same thing. Had she made a mistake by leaving the house? What would Mr Michael do when he comes home tomorrow and doesn't find her? Will he look for her or thank God that she left?

"Ebere!" Chika called her back to earth

"Chika."

"Where are you now?"

"Seagate hotel."

"Alright. I'll come tomorrow morning and see you so we can talk properly. Don't think much because you have me and our boss. Take care of yourself inugo?"

"Thank you Chika."

************
"Look who's throwing talks. Look who's calling someone else a cheat. You don't have that right Michael. None of you here have the right to tell me what's wrong or not." Amara threw at them.

"Did you just talk to me in that tone? Did you just talk to me?" Michael asked, walking towards her with anger and hate only to be stopped by Kelvin.

"No Mike. Let me handle........."

"Handle what? She has forgotten that she's at my mercy, just a word and she'll be miserable forever."

"You lie Michael. How was I before you turned me to your mistress? I had everything I needed........"

"Because you had your sister's support b!tch. Have you forgotten?" He threw at her, regrets coming in immediately and he withdrew


Amara stared at him, tears running down her face. He had her in a tight corner. She had blocked her path of goodwill, her saving grace, now, she was alone.

I hadly comment but I really need to at thus junction. This story is da bomb n I really learnt a lot. To me it seems the pple wey Dey do Amara r realy good at Wat they do cos I don't see the reason whatsoever for u snatching ur sisters husband,ur bestie is even understandable.

Which one is you people's own sef? Its not as if she forced you to read the story in the first place. Do you want to tell me that you've never had sex or watched porn before? Are you a baby? If the sex part is not pleasing to you, you can unfollow the thread nah. Its as simple as ABC.
All these 'perfect' people sef...

lol. I tire oo my broda. As if they are not enjoyin the 'sex part'. Even the holiest of pastors will tell you during marriage counselling that 'sex' is very important in marriage. Pls PamelB, some of us are enjoyin the 'Sex' part oo. We can even learn new skills. Abi wetin I talk?

PamelB, I must not fail to say that you're doing a great job over here. Without mincing words, I must say that this is the best story I've ever come across on Nairaland. It's packed filled with everything you can think of; suspense, humour, lessons, sex, yes sex! Don't mind all these self righteous people here on this thread that feel that they're too disciplined to read anything about sex. Abeg fire on, no knowledge is wasted. You never can tell; you might be saving someone's marriage over there.
Your inclusion of sex scenes doesn't portray you as a bitch or a bad girl as some people might think. It rather portrays you as a very versatile writer.
Fire on girl! Can't wait to see the end of this story. I love you and your works. More grease to your elbow!

you just spoke my mind, as in what is wrong with someone narrating exactly what happens in the bedroom? Absolutely there's nothing wrong from what pamelb is doing, in fact I have learnt a lot from this story especially the sex aspect of it.

pamelb i salute you, the way u composed this story really makes it real forget about their criticism we all have differrent opinions and way of expressing our minds.keep the fuel burning.

You guys are all right,but come think of Micheal did not loves his wife just for once and does not know the nature of Claire.because if he does he would have notice Claire in first sight that something has change in her before he now started to cheat on her...for me i think divorce is the best thing for Claire to move on her life..kudos to you #PamelB

All this busybody self.... why he pepper u for body? someone complained abt the sex part and some people wanted to turn it into an argument/insult but the OP apologised and explained why she stopped the sex part and i commended her for it.
So what is wrong in commending the OP?

PamelB gud are ok. Fire on with ur talented hands.

I don't like that Phil guy. I don't like that Phil guy.

Claire was opening boxes of gifts in her room, surprised at the amount of love people she didn't know showered on her. There were lots of them, ranging from wristwatches, jewelries, colognes, portraits, handbags and so many of them, yet, there were still unopened wraps. She picked a box lying at the foot of the bed and unwrapped it. Her jaw dropped as she saw the content. An iPhone? Who could give her such an expensive phone plus other things in the box? She picked up the phone and realised that a note was written at the bottom; "with love from a friend, Mr Michael N". Below the note was his phone number and she almost flung the phone to the wall.

" How dare he?" She vexed, standing up from the bed and picking her phone.

"How dare he come to her party?" She looked at the note again and shook her head. Such a flirt. She would call him and bare her heart to him. She was about dialing the number when she quickly had a second thought, picked up the gift items and quickly left the room.


********
Kelvin stared from Michael to Amara. It was obvious that this was truly the time of reckoning. With the events of the previous weeks, no one would think that they'll be sworn enemies at such a short notice.

"Both of you need to take a chill pill, let's sit as matured people and talk things out please." Kelvin said

"She should tell me where Ebere is." Michael said as calmly as possible.

Kelvin looked at Amara who was sobbing uncontrollably now.

"Where's Ebere?" Kelvin asked

"I...... I asked her out of the house. I asked her to leave." She said quietly

"You did what? How dare you?" Michael said, making for an attack.

He pushed Kelvin aside and held her arm in a tight grip

'Who gave you that right? Who asked you? Tell me." He barked, looking at her straight at the eyeballs while she cried, too weak to scream or plead for her freedom.

"Mike let her go. Stop it now. Leave the girl alone." Kelvin said, pushing him away and causing Amara to fall back.

"What's wrong with you?"


*********

Phil and Enatel sat in the dinning, eating from the birthday cake and chattering happily

"So you both kissed, what next? I need the full gist." Enatel joked

"Don't be a gossip man." Phil retorted, throwing a chunk of cake into his mouth and sipping from a glass of wine.

"You don't want to tell me huh?" Enatel feigned annoyance

"Okay. We kissed and nothing more. She excused herself and left."

"You say?"

"She excused herself and left." Phil repeated

"And you allowed her to go? Come on boy. She should be here right now, doing one or two things to you while you do plenty things to her. You just made a big mistake man. Listen, it took her ages to accept your proposal and you just let her go like that, what if she changes her mind?"

Phil choked on his cake and started coughing chronically while Enatel quickly fetched him a glass of water which he happily drank from like his life depended on it.

He breathed in relief and waited for a while before standing up.

"I'll be in my room. Good night."

"Hey man. Wait. Okay. I'm sorry if I said something I shouldn't have said."

"No. It's okay. I just have to go to bed. I've got a court hearing tomorrow morning."

He gave Enatel a pat on the shoulder, picked the glass of water and walked upstairs to his room without looking back.



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

"What is wrong with you? Haven't you realized that violence does not settle things for you, instead, it complicates everything and leaves you messed up? Haven't you realised that?"

"Yes I have. Yes I know, that is why you all left me right? That's why Chief has never called me since he heard of the divorce? That's why you're supporting my wife to move on with someone else right? I know all that and I don't need you to ring it in my ear again. You all left me alone because of her right? And then, the one person who has been taking care of me, this layabout asked her out of a house that's not even hers. And you tell me....."
Amara broke down and they turned their attention to her. She cried, beating her chest in regrets and muttering stuffs no one could hear.

"Michael........"

"No Kelvin let me speak. This thing here is the architect of all my problems." He pointed at Amara

"And I refuse to concur. You are the architect of your own problems. I may agree that she played a part but no, Amara is not the architect of your problems. You say we all left you, but the truth is that you walked away from all of us even before things got worse. I tried Mike. I covered stuffs for you, I lied to chief for you. When he heard of Claire's hanging out with Phil, he called you didn't he? But then, you thought Claire will tell him the truth and you stopped picking his calls. He even sent emails and messages, asking you to visit but you never replied or returned his calls. So, why say we rejected you? Or you think I'll be alive and watch Claire suffer in your hands? No Mike. That woman deserves happiness and I'll give itto her without thinking twice. I need you to think again please, have a flashback of everything that has happened in this house and you'll see that Claire tried her best to help you, to help your marriage but no, you just didn't want Claire anymore. You had the secretary, my fiancée, the other helper and even your wife's sister."

"She came to me. She......"

"A round of applause then. She came to you and you couldn't say no or even talk to your wife. And when she found out and asked her out, you still went to her house. Why? Why Mike?"

"Cause........ Cause she kept calling, sending me messages, threatening to ruin my career and......"

"Mike. Oh brother, I tried." Kelvin said, turning to Amara.

"Congratulations Amara. You have him now. Claire went through all this and survived it. Why won't you?"

"Kelvin?"

A voice called from the door and they all turned to see who the visitor was.

Claire for sure. Why is Amara regretting now? oh! you don't know that karma tastes like shit? Now you know, enjoy it.

Good job pamelB

Wow! Thank you PamelB. Pls keep it up

Thanks for the update dear I think Claire came to return the birthday gift.
