Hmmm, I understand Mara's pain, it's not easy. Even if for just being a mother to his Mara, he should forgive Agnes.

Who could the Boss be?

Episode 10

Mara sighed for the umpteenth time, she was bored to death, her sister had gone to school leaving her all alone in the room, and there was no power supply, her sister really made use of all the money sent to her, her room was just nice, pink painting, typical of a girl, 24 inches flat screen plasma television, 14 inches foam kept at a corner, mini fridge, home theatre, and a big mirror adorned the room. she sighed and fell back on the foam. If not that she wanted to spend sometime with her sister, she would have gone to lodge in a hotel, she checked her phone and saw that her father had not even called her since she left the house, what kind of a father does that? she wondered. did she do a bad thing by telling him to bail her mother? well if he would not call her then she wouldn't go home either.

"Big sis, am home" Kosi said entering inside.

"Thank God you are back, I was so bored" she said hitting her hand on her head.


"The power supply was not restored after I left for school?" she asked removing her sneakers.

"No, and it was killing me inside" Mara complained again.

"Did you cook anything?, am starving" she asked letting out a laugh.

"Yea, I boiled rice, the stew from yesterday is still remaining" she answered checking her phone again.

"Can you stop doing that already?, checking your phone won't make Dad call you, I mean he has not even called me since he learnt that I stayed back here in school, all he does is to send me money, he doesn't even care about us" she said going into the compartment they used as kitchen.

"I was just trying to unite our family again, with mom still in prison I don't see unity anywhere around our house, I can't even build that mother and daughter relationship with Aunty Margaret, she doesn't even recognize me, I miss Mom and everything she did for us, how she stocks up our rooms with sanitary pads, saying that it shouldn't be looked for in a lady's room, how she tells us that we should be contented with what we have, how she gives us advice on relationship with the opposite sex, can you remember what she did when she found out that you had a boyfriend, you were just 18 then, she threatened to bring heaven down, threatened fire and brimstone saying that you were still underaged" she stopped letting out a little giggle.

"Aunty Margaret doesn't even know the date my period normally start, she has not even noticed that am having problems with Kenny, she does not even talk to me, the people she only recognize and talk to is Aunty Felicia and her daughter Brenda and she is not even around, she went to see her boyfriend for the past one week, I have not even seen her, am just all alone in that house" she concluded sighing.

"You have to give Aunty Margaret some time sis, you know what she passed through in the hands of my mom, I can't even believe that mom could do such things, I mean if not that she confessed those things herself, I would never believe such things about her ever" she said taking one spoon full of rice in her mouth.

"I don't know Kosi, I just don't know where to start from, I don't know when Aunty Margaret's memory will be back, I need a mom, i need someone I can talk to, am passing through a lot right now" she said bending her head in tiredness.


"Start by calling her Mom, she is your mother and nothing can change the fact, she will soon regain her memory just give her time, remember, mom caused all the things happening in her life right now, show her love, show her that she can also get love from you" Kosi said standing to get water from the fridge. "And speaking of Kenny he called me on phone the other day" she completed closing back the fridge.

"What did he say?" Mara asked shooting her head up.

"Well nothing much, he told me that he came over to the house and you refused to see him, that you also refused taking his call even, then he said that I should go back home, that's all" she concluded looking at her sister.


"Yes, I refused to see him, he knew all these things and he never told me, he knew who my biological mother was and he didn't tell me, he knew that mom was behind it all and he didn't still tell me, all he could come up with was that he did it to protect me, what stupid protection is that?, he proposed to me and I threw his ring back at him, I hate him so much right now, he is among those causing me pains" she winced as she said those words.


"Don't be like that sis, he loves you so much, he was just waiting for the right time to tell you, I see the way he looks at you, he adores you sis, please forgive him, don't loose that man, he is nice" she concluded eyeing her sister, she wouldn't want another in-law other than Kenny, the guy was good, he sends her money at interval.


"I will try call him Later in the day, right now am trying to think" she said lying down on the bed.

"What if I tell you that he will be here today" she said running towards the door to avoid getting a slap from her sister.

"What? you told him that am here, oh my god Kosi I feel like beating you to a pulp right now" she shouted Standing on her feet.

"Am sorry sis but he was so worried, I had no option" she said still standing at the doorway.

"oh my god, I have not bathed, what will I wear now?" she said running around the room. "Are you still standing there? come and help me pick a dress" she said when she noticed that her sister had not moved an inch from where she stood.

"Are you sure sis? should I really come and help you out? are you sure you won't hit me?" she said tiptoeing back into the room.

"My friend get your head over here right now or else I will leave the dishes for you" she said laughing, she knew how much her sister hated doing the dishes, she wasn't wrong because Kosi rushed straight to the wardrobe and started bringing out different clothes. she laughed again, she really loved her sister whether they had different mothers or not and it was time to take her home.

James woke up and found himself in the hospital, he looked around and found Gabriel seated at a corner. he called out his name and Gabriel startled.

"Are you okay bro? do you need anything?" he asked rushing to the bedside.

"Am fine, where is the doctor? I need to be discharged" he said sitting up.

"the doctor said that you will have to rest very well, your injury has opened because you didn't get the right medication for it, you will have to stay a little while here"

"I need to send my parents far away from here until am done with the case" he said coughing a bit.


"don't worry about your parents, I sent them to Lagos to stay with my dad, just relax and get enough rest, you need it".


"Thank you so much bro, I appreciate" he said relaxing his back on the edge of the bed.

"We got another news bro, Taiwo Segun has been killed, Anny is at it again" he said shaking his head.

"What? when? how?" James shouted weakly.

"I don't know how it happened but he was found dead in his room with a syringe stabbed deeply into his neck, no sign of blood, no finger prints, after we carried out our investigation, we found out that there was a deadly poison in the syringe which killed him slowly" he concluded sighing loudly.

" I need to leave this place Gabriel, things are going wrong, she needs to be stopped" he said closing his eyes in pain.

"You think I will let you leave this place like you did before? no way, you are staying here, in fact let me get the doctor to come sedate you" he said standing up.


"Gabriel wait, I need to tell you who the boss is, please wait" he said painfully. "The boss is...


"James my boy, you are awake" someone interrupted from the doorway.

"welcome Sir, please have a seat" Gabriel greeted the D.P.O.

"How is he doing"?

" He is doing okay sir, but he is stubborn, he wants to leave the hospital bed like he did before, I was on my way going to get the doctor before you came in sir, he needs to be sedated" he completed still eyeing James.

"Am sorry son, I was late when you needed me, when I got there with my men you had already left, Gabriel please go and get the doctor" he said waving him away.

"Okay sir, I will be right back" he said walking towards the door.

"Gabriel" James called looking scared. "please don't leave me here" he completed looking so pale suddenly.

Gabriel turned and saw the look of horror and fear in his eyes and wondered what happened, he needed to call the doctor so that he can sedate James, he needed to rest. "I will be right back James" he said walking out of the room.

"Well well son, it is just the two of us now, I can easily finish you off and get this whole drama over with, don't worry son, I promise to give you a slow death" he grinned wickedly bringing out a syringe from his pocket.

"Gabriel" James muttered, he couldn't shout, his voice failed him. "Gabriel" he muttered again, louder this time with tears already dropping from his eyes, he was going to die after all, he closed his eyes and waited for death.

Jesus, the D.P.O is the boss? fada lawd take my soul.



Well done OP

Gabriel for once since I started reading this story, am angry with you for leaving James all alone

So the D.P.O is the boss

Pls nothing should happen to James oooo

damselposh If anything should happen to james eh, you will be held responsible.

If Gabriel is a true police officer, he should be able to put two and two together and deduce what is happening. Afterall he already noticed d look of horror on james' face. His leaving the room was just to confirm and catch the D.P.O in the act.

thanks for reading, but Gabriel is not actually a police officer, he is from the forensic department, and you know that they don't really reason like policemen.

thanks for reading once again

James must not die

"Hello Anny, I got the news, you succeeded in killing Taiwo" he said over the phone.

"Yes sir, I did as you instructed" she replied immediately.

"okay, am in my house, you will go over to the Triangle point and wait for me, I will meet with you later" he said scratching his eyebrow.

"Okay sir"

"Hang on, who is next on the list?"

"Uche Ozoh is next on the list sir"

"An Igbo man, interesting, there is one thing I love about the igbos, it is their love for money, they both are inseparable, but I think this time around, he will be separated from money forcefully" he answered smiling a little.

"When should I strike sir?"

"Oh no Anny, you will have to lie low for now, I will give you orders on what to do later" he replied sitting down on the sofa. He smiled in fulfilment, just two more persons to go then he would involve the police, he wanted to kill the founders himself, it was an honour to him, he smiled again, they would pay for making his sister's life miserable, for giving her false hopes of giving her a job and using that opportunity to ship her off to Brazil, they would all pay.

"once every thing is settled my beautiful sister, we will find you and get you back, I promise to kill all of them" he shouted smashing his phone on the wall.








"Good morning dad" Kenny greeted his father.

"Morning son, how was your night my boy?" he asked picking up the TV remote.

"It was fine dad, have you seen Tunde oh sorry I mean Kamsi this morning?" he scratched his head, it was going to be hard to get used to calling him that.

"He left for work already with your sister" he replied tunning to different channels until he got to the news headline, what he saw made him throw the remote away in shock.


"What is it dad" Kenny asked rushing to his father, the old man pointed at the Television and Kenny's gaze followed suit.

"Taiwo Segun, a business tycoon, brother to the late Kehinde segun, found dead in his room with a syringe stabbed deeply in his neck".

" Jesus" Kenny shouted. "Who is killing them dad?, what have they done to deserve death" he asked sitting on the floor.

Mr Williams looked up in shock, he wasn't worried that Taiwo was killed, he was worried on what would become of him since the twins were all dead.


"Son, they will soon come for me" he said helplessly.

"Who will come for you dad?, what are you talking about?" he asked looking closely at his father, he had gone so pale all of a sudden.


"I signed a contract with the devil son, they will soon come for me" he said closing his eyes. he warned Kehinde but he never listened to him, they were going to drag him into the mess, he imagined what dying would look like, he bit his lip hard in horror.

Hmmm

Kenny sat down with Mara at the eatery, there had been silence between them since they came there, he didn't know how to start apologizing for keeping things away from her, he was just trying to protect her that was all.

"Am sorry baby, please forgive me" he said holding her hand.


"Sorry for what?" she rolled her eyes and removed her hand.

"Am sorry for keeping things away from you, I just wanted to be sure that you are Aunty Margaret's daughter before letting you know, I didn't want to tell you what I was not sure of, and as for your Mom, I know you wouldn't believe me, you love her so much and you have always known her as your mother, I didn't want to create a rift between you and her" he apologized more.


"You always talk about protection, what were you trying to protect me from?" she shouted but calmed down on seeing people's gaze on her.


"From getting hurt, I didn't want you to get hurt"

"And you think am not hurting now?" she sneered at him.

"Am sorry, I can't live without you, you are my life, all I have got, I have not been myself since you started been cold to me, I love you so much Amarachi, you are always in my mind, anything I do, anywhere I go to, I always think about you, am madly in love with you" he knelt down on one knee.


"And why are you going on your knees, get up please this is a public place" she said looking embarrassed.

"Just tell me that you have forgiven me and I will stand up" he said still not making a move to stand up.

"Alright, I have forgiven you, next time please don't hide things from me, am your girlfriend for crying out loud, it kills me inside to know that you kept things from me"


"Am sorry baby, I won't keep anything from you again, I love you" he said still kneeling on one knee.

"I love you too, now will you stand up from there before I punch your eye"

"Not yet baby" he said bringing out a diamond ring from his pocket. "My love, you came into my life when I gave up on love, when my life was dark, when I was frustrated with the world, you gave me hope, you brought light into my life, you motivated me, you changed my person, I even changed the decor of my office because of you" he let out a laugh. "I can die for you baby, I love you more than anything else in this world, I love you so much with all my heart, Amarachi Sonia Johnson, would you be my wife? the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, would you want to be Mrs Williams?" he finally proposed.


"Of course I will marry you, fish head, put that ring already on my finger" she giggled thrusting out her finger, he wore it on her and they hugged amidst the cheering and clapping from the audience, they were all happy for them, but only one person cursed through gritted teeth.


"Let me see how you will live happily ever after, I will make life miserable for the both of you" the person concluded.
