Valid points madam Rachel..I'm sure happy was truly a nice person but over time seeing the way Anike's life changed and upgraded jealousy must have set in..no matter the change of wadrope and the clothes she buys for her.. there'd always be that little part that won't be satisfied..
Tnx for this lesson..its rare to read a story, enjoy it and learn somtin @ the same time..Jah bless you and increase your wisdom

That's why we must stay connected to God always.. He alone can help us in our relationships with people and with everything.

Episode 24

I got back to my apartment, Happy wasn’t home, I went to her room but to my surprise, she had packed all her things, not even a single pin was left. The whole room was clean.

Prince’s threat really scared her, so I thought. I went to my room, lay on the bed still brooding, I was hungry but I had no appetite. I wanted to cry but I was tired, Prince disappointed me, after all the sacrifices I made for him.

I choose not to keep a boyfriend not because I don’t have admirers but because I thought he deserves to have me alone for himself at least for now.

I was even scared for happy, Despite his riches, connection and power, he never abused it. He doesn’t use his power to destroy people. I just hope he won’t hurt happy.

“What has Happy gotten herself into” I said to myself. I’ve never seen Prince threathen someone like that before, he sound like he meant every word he told Happy. I doubt if it’s an empty threat.

Come to think of it, people are wicked but what did I do to deserve this from her. I even gave her #1.5M yesterday. She said she needed it for her boutique.

No wonder her boutique business is running down, an adage says ‘ If you are betraying someone secretly, bad things will be crawling into your life secretly too'
Human will always be human, I concluded.

I called my Mum, she told me Okiki is now awake and I spoke with him. I told her to let me know if they need anything because I'm not prepared to go to Lagos any time soon, not this week. Prince started calling and I didn’t pick it, when the calls was getting annoying, I switched off my phone.



★★★★
“What a bad day” I said to myself as I stormed on my bed to sleep.
First it was infection, then my brother’s surgery, Prince’s wrong accusations and a friend’s betrayal, all in one day. I travelled from school to Lagos, Lagos to abuja and from abuja back to school. What a day” I thought as I drifted to sleep.

The next day, Governor Mark called me, he apologized on Prince’s behalf. I deceived him and told him have forgiven prince and it’s over. Who am I to say no to the governor. He was happy and ended the call.

I remembered Prince said something about his net worth. I decided to find out on goggle since the federal government had already instructed all government officials to declare their assets. I entered his name on the search box. I wondered why I did not think of this before now.

The results came up, then I saw the option for his net worth. I clicked on it and I couldn’t believe what I saw hundreds of million US dollars. And I’m very sure this people will never declare their full assets. No wonder he said he can buy me anything money can buy other heaven. He can keep his money to himself for all I care.

A week later, my brother was discharged from the hospital. I had also completed the doses of the drugs I was given in the hospital, so I went back to the hospital for a rechecked. Luckily infection was gone.

I still refuse to pick Prince’s call. When his calls persists, I bought another line and registered it. When he discovered the line was no more available, He sent his men to my place to pick me up and I refused to follow them.. I even thought they’ll take me forcefully but they didn’t.

One of the men called him to tell him I refused to follow them. He ended the call and told the others that Prince said they should let me be. So they left after taking instructions from their boss. I knew he’s traveling to Dublin the following week, more reason why he’sis desperate to see me.

When all his effort to reach me proves abortive. He stopped reaching out. He still send me money weekly. I sent him a message on Facebook to stop sending me money but he wouldn’t listen.


I finished my lecture for the day, I was about to enter my car when one of Happy’s friend approached me.

“Good afternoon Anike”

“Good afternoon….Tara, right?

“Yes, I checked at your house yesterday but you are not in. I’ve not seen Happy for three weeks now. I thought she traveled before and doesn’t want me to now her whereabouts. but now I’m worried, I’ve been calling since and her phone was switched off. I also checked at her department I was told she hadn’t been attending lectures for weeks now. She’s also not online. I just hope she’s OK” she informed.

“Happy moved out of my house weeks ago, though we have issues to trash out. I called her number severally, it wasn’t available. I thought she did that just to avoid me. But now that you mentioned she’s not been attending lectures, I don’t know what to make out of that” I stated.

“May be we’ll have to report to the school authority” she suggested.

Something is fishy, and I can only trace it to Prince.

“No Let’s wait I promise I’ll find her. But if I can’t in the next three days, then we’ll report” I said and she agreed.

I entered into the car. “You can join me, if you are going home, I’ll drop you off” I offered.
She entered into the car and I drove out of parking lot.
She alighted at her bus stop that is before mine. I was alone now in the car, so I could think.

“Something is not right, I didn’t meet Happy in the house that very day, all are things are gone too" Prince already called her before I left his house in Abuja. I hope prince hadn’t abducted Happy. He said he’ll make her life a living hell. Prince is not that kind of person, I wonder what he’s up to. I silently pray she’s fine.

I'm afraid she might go ahead to accuse Prince of having something to do with happy's disappearance and Prince will get annoyed and will want to stop taking all the bullshit from anike and decides to teach her a lesson will may be very bad .... I also think happy sold out all her businesses, used the money together with the 1.5M she collected from anike and traveled out of the country
