Episode 1

Am a ghost!

I know I am. For the past three years I have been wandering about from street to street without been noticed by any human being except ghosts like me. I have no idea of why am still in the human world, ghosts were suppose to be in heaven after they die not in the human world. It was a boring and tiring moments for me been living on earth as a ghost. So lonely and tiresome.

I don’t have any memory of how I die or what was behind my death because am still young. I was walking down the street where people were moving about. Some were smiling and chatting with their friends, some were waiting by the bus stop for the next bus. While some were walking up and down the street. It obvious they didn’t notice me as some people even went through me while walking. When I got to the bus stop, among the people standing by the road side.

I saw a little boy staring at me. I stopped staring back at him. The boy should be around 11 to 12 years of age. He looks so dirty and rough. He can’t possibly see me except if he’s a ghost. I wonder if he saw me or was just staring at something else.

"Can you see me?”I asked him.

He wasn’t responding all he did was kept staring at me. I moved closer to him and bent a little to look at him closely.

”Can you really see me?” I asked waving my hand before his eyes. He blinked and stared off.

“Yes I did. And so?” he replied.

He can really see me? Why? Is he a ghost? An alien? What exactly is he?” I thought to myself looking at him strangely.

“Wow. You saw me. You really saw me. Am so happy you saw me.”

I said smiling and jumping up happily. He looked at me and made a dull face.

”Yes, I can see you because am a ghost also” he said looking at me.

He started moving leaving me behind.

I stood there staring at him as he left.

”What the hell was that? I was happy for no reason. He’s a ghost too. Am older than you. Don’t be so rude to me like that.” I said looking at him as he left.

“Yeah it’s normal for ghosts to see ghosts. But why can’t a single human see me? Why? I thought some human has the ability to see ghosts. Why is it so hard to find one? Where are they all hiding?” I said sadly looking around.

“Why am I still on earth? I should disappear from this world if I have nothing to do with this humans."

I got so lonely and sad everyday. What’s my purpose for still staying on this lonely earth? Someone should tell me from up there!” I yelled on top of my voice looking up at the sky.

Thunder struck from the sky with lightning like its going to rain soon.

As I heard the sound of thunder from the sky, I quickly bent down dodging beside a bench. I peeped slowly looking up to the sky

”Wow that really scared me. was I too loud? Was he angry at me?

You guys have to go easy on me. You can’t kill me twice OK?” I said looking up.

After a while, I stood up from where I dodged then continue walking heading to an unknown destination.
*************************************************

John's POV
I was taking pictures of a pretty model artist. She was so hot and beautiful. I promise myself to have her pin after we finish shooting all the pictures,Then hook up with her later.

From my personality and attitudes towards ladies, You can call me a player. Am so handsome and smart. Ladies of this company were dying over me because of my amazing good looking face and body. Because of my look and appearance, I took the advantage to play with ladies all I like. Every girlfriend I have can only last for a week or less than that. No matter how pretty she is. After playing with them, I dumped their a-s off and go for another new hot girl.

After shooting for 30minutes, I asked for five minutes break before we resume back.

“Let’s take five minutes break” I said leaving the scene while handing over the camera to Sam, my personal assistant. He viewed through the pictures I have taken and smiled at me raising his thumb finger at me. That shows a sign of an excellent job. Tina brought a bottle water and drank from it, leaving the remaining on the table by my side.

I kept staring at Debbie the model I just finished shooting her photos. She caught my eyes and was smiling in a seductive way. I smiled back winking my eyes at her. She smiled more covering her mouth with her fingers.

“Wow. You fell for me already? I think that makes it so easy for me”I thought to myself smiling at her.

After I finished all the photo shoots, the director and everyone started to round up everything to leave. Tina came to me and started drying my sweats with the towel she was holding.

“That was a perfect job. You’re the best” she said smiling.

“Of course I am”, I said still staring at Debbie. Tina traced my gaze and smiled.

“You like her too?”she asked as she withdrew the towel from my face.

I looked at her not replying.

“Go to Sam and help him pack up OK.” I said smiling while holding her shoulders.

I left her and moved to where Debbie was standing. Immediately Debbie saw me, a smile formed up on her face. I got to her smiling also.

“You look most beautiful of all woman today.” I said looking at her.

“Really? Wow am so happy to hear that” she said smiling. I can see she’s blushing by now.

“It’s time to leave” a lady said looking at us from afar.

“Oh so sad I have to leave now” Debbie said looking at me.

I dipped my hand into my pocket and brought out a pen. I took her hand and wrote my phone number on her arm. She smiled looking at me shyly. I kissed her soft lovely hand and left her to go.

“I promise to call you soon” she said before leaving to meet others.

I was staring at her sexy back view as she walks. the fitted gown she wore glued to her body showing her amazing curve. Her hips swayed to each side as she walked. I kept staring at her smiling to myself.

“Let’s see how long you’ll last.” I said and also left the scene.

I was driving on the highway feeling happy about today’s work and thinking about my next target Debbie. I was smiling happy while driving. I noticed my car was acting strange. I decided to pull over and check what’s wrong with it. After pulling over, I came down from the car to check what’s wrong with it. I opened the bonnet although I have no idea of what to check or where to touch. I shut the it angrily which caused a loud sound.

“What the f–k is wrong with you? Why do you have to do this to me now?” I said looking at it.

I checked my wrist watch and saw the time is almost 8:00pm. It’s dark and getting late already. I took my phone and dialed Sam’s number to come and pick me up from the place I told him the location and described the place. Immediately I told him, he said he’s on his way. I got a bit relieved and started walking from end to end waiting for him to arrive.
*************************************************

Stella's POV
I was walking down beside the road roaming about as usual. I saw a guy standing by a red spot car. He looks amazingly good looking. From his facial expression, I can see he’s bothered by something. I stared at him for a while admiring his handsomeness.

“Don’t be a stupid girl. Snap out of it. You’re a ghost not a human. He can’t even see you.” A voice said in my head.

“Yes. Who cares if he’s bothered or not? Let me just go way and ignore him.” I said walking towards him.

But he stopped as I got closer. I wanted to go to the other side through him, but he moved to the side avoiding me. I stopped and looked up at him.

“Why? Can you see me?” I asked looking at him. But he was not looking at me, he was staring at somewhere else. I moved to his front and tried to go through him again. He moved to the side avoiding me. I did it again and he avoided me again. I did it over and over and he also repeated the same thing.

I looked up at him wondering what he’s doing. Does he see me? Why is he avoiding me? I thought to myself looking at him.

I decided to touch his face maybe he can notice that too. I raised my hand up slowly looking at him. He stood still not looking at me. When I almost touch him, he looked down at my face angrily.”

"Why do you guys like doing this to me? can’t you just leave me alone and go your way?!” he yelled at me in frustration and anger.

I got so shocked and surprised looking at him. He can really see me. He just spoke to me. For the past three years, someone just noticed me.

“I thought to myself as he was staring straight into my eyes with his bright charming eyes.

Episode 2
I kept staring at him not knowing what to say. Am happy he can see me but one side of me was sad because he’s mad at me. I don’t really care about that. All that matters to me was that a human just saw me for the past three years. It seems so shocking to me. I moved back a bit facing him

”You saw me? You can really see me. Am so happy you do see me. I don’t know what to do right now. You’re such a special being. It’s good to meet you.” I said smiling happily.

He doesn’t look good staring at me. He places his hands by his waist staring at me badly.

“And so? So if I can see you what does that have to do with me? We have no business together so disappear from my sight!” he said in a little harsh voice.

I felt so bad by what he just said. He moved from my sight walking out on me. I tried to touch him although I know that’s not possible because I can’t touch human but when I tried it, I can really feel his body with my hand. My hand touched his arm lightly but he already walked pass me. I looked at my hand then looked back at him in surprise. I can touch him. I can feel it with my hand. Could this be real? I asked myself looking at him. I want to try it again maybe it was real.

So I walked behind him and placed my hand on his arm. To my surprise it works. I can feel his warm body with my hand. I thought to myself smiling. He turned and looked at my hand then looked at my face.

“Who the hell do you think you are to place those dirty hands on me?” he said looking annoyed.

Why is he so angry? I never done anything wrong to him. Why is he treating me like a trash?”I thought to myself as I withdrew my hand from his arm slowly.

“Am sorry for that. But why are you treating me this way? Did I do anything wrong to you?” I asked looking at him.

He moved closer looking straight into my eyes.

“Because I don’t want to see you. I want to live a normal life. Must I see you ghosts everyday. I mean why must you disturb me? Why me of all people? I don’t want to see you. Get lost!” he said looking so annoyed and angry.

A car horned from the road side which got him to looked back at it. A young guy came down from the car and started walking towards us. He got to us and started looking around in confusion.

“I thought you were with someone. Why were you so loud? And who were you talking to?” the guy asked still looking around.

“It’s nothing. I was talking to someone on phone” he replied raising his phone up.

“Alright. Let’s leave this place it’s late and cold. Am scared a ghost might pop out to us” the young guy said rubbing his shoulders.

He left for the car while the handsome guy walked behind him. When he got to the car and was about opening the door, he looked back at me with an unknown expression before opening the door. The car drove down the high way. I stared at it till it was out of sight. I sighed to myself looking around the dark area.

“What should I do now? Since he’s the only human that can see me, I need to be around him maybe he can help me find the cause of my death. I really need his help but he’s too hard to talk to.” I said looking sad.

I looked at the red sport car and smiled to myself.

“Looks like am gonna see him again.” I said smiling. I moved to the side of the car and went inside through the door. I sat down on the seat comfortably leaning my head back with a smile on my face.
*************************************************

John’s POV
Sam was driving the car while I sat quietly not saying a word since we left the scene. My mood was ruin because of the ghost girl I saw earlier. Sam noticed this and asked what went wrong with me.

“Why are you so moody and sad? Do you have a bad conversation with the person you called? It’s rare to see this expression” Sam said.

“I also don’t know why am like this. I just felt bad for no reason.” I replied not looking at him.

“That’s so strange” he said looking at me.

“You’ll have to to pick up my car tomorrow morning after the repair” I said.

“Alright” Sam replied.

After 10minutes drive, we got to my house. I got down from the car and waved him goodbye.

“Drive carefully and don’t forget to come early tomorrow. We’re having another photo shoot by 8am tomorrow.” I said looking at him from the window.

“Okay. Goodnight” he said.

I left after he drove our of my compound. I headed towards the gate and unlocked it. I got to the living room and went straight to the fridge to drink some water. My living room was not that wide. It looks so neat and well set. The walls were painted with my best colour Pure white. While the couch, center table, rugs, cottons and the rest were in blue colour.

I walked to the fridge and took water from it. After drinking, I threw the bottle in the waste bin beside the fridge and headed straight to my room.

I got to my room and laid tiredly on the large sofa. My room was a medium size room. It has pictures and some stickers on the wall. It really looks like an high school student room by looking at it. It looks so rough because I was too lazy to tidy it up this morning. Clothes and underwear were flung at each angle of my room. It looks messy and rough.

My mind flashed back to when I saw the ghost girl. The more I look at it, she looks so familiar to me. Who’s she? I think I have seen that face somewhere before. Where is that?” I thought to myself looking so worried and confused.

Episode 4
I stood there staring at the picture. After a while, I remembered I have to be with Mr. Handsome. I looked back and started searching for him looking around the place. I saw him standing among those people, holding a camera in his hand. I walked slowly towards him smiling.

I stood beside him as he walks around from one place to another.

“Is this where you work? Wow it’s so pretty and cool here.” I said looking around.

Few minutes later, the photo shoot started. The lady looks so beautiful as she did different poses in different fashion of dresses and shoes. I was standing beside Mr. Handsome looking at him as he was taking the pictures. By looking at his face, I could tell he like her by the way he smiles while taking the pictures.

“I can see you had a crush on her. It’s OK you’re also a man you can fall for her. You can’t hide that” I said looking at him.

He looked at me then concentrated back on the camera.

Wow! He could hear that of all what I’ve been saying to him since. I thought to myself folding my arms together.

“Well. She’s so pretty. Am so jealous of her” I said nodding my head.

“Good thing you’re not blind” he said under his breath thinking I won’t hear him.

After the the photo shoot, he went to sit down on a chair. And I followed him standing beside the table. A girl brought a bottle water and a towel. He received the bottle from her and opened the top.

“You did a great job” she said smiling.

“Oh thanks. You guys should rest also. I have to meet someone by 12pm so, I won’t be around then. You guys should finish the rest OK?” he said standing up from the chair.

“Yes sir” the lady replied.

He went to the other young guy and whispered something in his ear. He nodded his head in agreement saying OK.

Mr. Handsome left the studio walking down the passage. I followed him gently without his knowledge. When he got to the compound, before he could get to his car, he pressed a remote to unlock it. He opened the door and sat down pulling out the seat belt. He stopped and was looking around. He peeped through the window then looked behind him. I can tell he was looking for me. I was at a corner looking at him as he does all this. When he couldn’t find me, he took a deep breath wiping his face with his palm.
I smiled to myself looking at him.

“Don’t be relieved. Am not gone yet” I said smiling. When he fasten the seat belt, and was about driving, I disappeared from where I was hiding and reappeared beside him. He quickly stepped on the break looking at me in shock.

“Ooh. You really scared me” he said looking at me.

“Were you looking for me? Why? Do you miss me?” I asked looking at him.

“What? Stop popping out like that scaring people around with your ugly face OK” he said.

“You don’t have to be scared. It’s not you first time seeing me. Are you really scared of ghosts?” I asked looking at him.

“What’s she saying? Am not scared of them. I just don’t like seeing ugly ghosts popping our of nowhere. They’ll look like a demon to me.” he said as he drives the car slowly out of the compound.

“Really? So you’re not scared of me?” I asked.

“Am not. I can’t be scared of you. You don’t even look scary” he replied.

“That means am not an ugly ghost then? Since you’re not scared of me. Am a sexy ghost not an ugly one” I said smiling.

On hearing that, he started laughing out loud. I wonder what he’s laughing about. I didn’t say anything funny.

“What’s she saying? Sexy ghosts?” he repeated and continue laughing. He almost bump into a car but quickly turn the staring to avoid it.

“You have to be careful if you don’t want to end up with other ugly ghosts” I said looking at him.

“So you mean there are sexy ghosts? That’s so funny. I have never heard of that before. You’re not even a pretty ghost” he said still smiling. I feel good to see him smile. He looks so cool and calm.
************************************************

John’s POV
As I was still talking and laughing at what the ghost girl just said, a call came in and I took it. My expression changed immediately I saw the caller. It was my dad. I first hesitate to pick it but I took the call and placed the phone to my ear. He said he wants us to meet me at his office right now because he wants to have a meeting with everyone. I dropped the phone beside me after the call.

I hate sitting down and talking with him. I don’t like him and I don’t feel happy anytime we’re together. But since it’s a family meeting, I have to show up. I was not the his first child. I have step brother and I have sisters also. He got married to three wives. Nathan was his first son. He’s two years older than me. While am three years older than Mary his younger sister. And Julie was the youngest wife’s daughter. She’s just 16 this year. Nathan’s mother was the first wife he married. She made life like hell for me and my mother when I was still young. She’s so scary and wicked.

Even when father married the youngest wife, she hired gang to beat her up and destroy the pregnancy she’s having. She was rescued before they could do anything worst to her. Even though my dad knows she was the one who did it. He never confronted her or make any case on it. She’s so scary than demons or ghosts. I blamed my mum for getting married to my dad. But what can I do about it? It’s done already. Am one of Williams family. I don’t like engaging myself with family issues or about his companies. I like living a simple life and free from their problems.

He has the biggest company in the state. He has so many companies and houses. But I disguise myself from Williams family. No one knows am Williams in my company. Even when I was still in school, no one knows am James Williams son.

I hid my identity from people. Unlike my other brother Nathan. He boast about it and spend money like s–t when he was in school. We’re not close at all. We hate each other ever since we were kids. We never act like real brothers even though we still have the same father. Mary was the only one who was close to me. She likes me and love hanging around me everything in school. She once told me she wished we were not siblings. She would have love to have me as her boyfriend. I took that as a joke the day she said that.

Back to my car...
I frowned my face on hearing he’s having a meeting with us. I have to go just to avoid his nagging. I made a U-turn and went back heading to the company.

When I got there, I parked my car at the garage then got down and walked towards the door. I entered the big company and make my way towards his office.

“Why are you not looking good? Are you angry at something?” the ghost girl asked following me behind.

I ignored her heading to the elevator. When I got to the elevator, I pressed the button and it opened. Who I saw there left me with shock and surprise. But I hid it not letting it show on my face. He smiled nodding his head at me. But I kept on the straight face looking at him.

“Long time no see” he said putting on a fake smile.

We both were staring at each other awkwardly while I still stood at the entrance blocking the elevator from closing.

“Aren’t you getting in?” he asked looking at me.

I looked behind me but I can’t find the ghost girl again. I wonder if she left already. I looked at Nathan and entered the elevator. It closed gently until it was locked finally. I think he just arrived back from America. I was told he left country three years ago.

”How have you been bro?” he asked placing his hand on my shoulder.

I looked at his hand and removed it from my shoulder looking at him.

“Why do you care about my well being?” I asked looking at him.

“Why? Can’t I asked my brother how he has being doing?” he asked smiling.

I laughed a little on hearing him say that. I looked at him putting on a straight and serious face.

“That’s what am saying. Why do you care? Stop acting like you do when you don’t. I hate seeing you look at me with that face. Don’t fake yourself it doesn’t suit you.” I said looking at him.

When it got to our floor, the elevator opened and I went out leaving him behind. As I was walking down the passage heading to the office, the ghost girl appeared beside me.

“Why is your expression like this? Do you fight with someone?” she asked walking beside me.

“Where did you leave to?” I asked looking at her.

"Were you worried about me?” she asked smiling.

“Why would i be worried about a ghost? I was just asking” I said not looking at her.

“Hmm hmm just say you do” she said smiling.
*************************************

At the meeting…
We were all seating round with a wide table in the center. Mrs Olivia (the first wife) was sitting beside father. I was opposite to Nathan. Mary was sitting beside me while Julie and Roseline (the last wife) was sitting beside each other. Mr. Raymond (his PA) was standing beside him. While three other men were also standing by each side of the office. I wonder why they are here with us. I thought this a family meeting not a conference.

Why so much people staying here with us?” I thought to myself.

After some minutes of silence, he began with his speeches.

“I welcome you all for leaving what you were doing to attend this meeting. It’s good to see you all here together in a long time. And for the person that’s not here today, may her gentle soul rest in peace.” he said looking at everyone.

The person he was talking about was my mother.

My mother’s death was a mystery to me. She was missing for two days and the next we heard about her was her corpse was found at a sea shore. That day was the most saddest day of my life. I cried like I never did. I wonder what got her to the sea. Investigations were carried out but nothing was found behind her death. I know and believed the death was not a natural one. I always believe she was murdered. After she was buried, I didn’t go home that night. I cried and longed for her to come back to me. The world seem like it’s coming to an end that day. I slept at where she was buried. But when I slept, I dreamed she came back to me smiling and hugging me in her arms. By the time I woke up, I was not able to find her. I stood up and started crying calling her name. It was so dark and silent. Only the voice of my cries could be heard.

“Mom don’t leave me. Please don’t leave me here. Come back or take me with you” I cried walking around the dark burial ground. As I was still crying, I noticed someone tapped my shoulder from behind. I turned to the person still sobbing and my face soaked in tears.

“Mommy!”I called running into her arms.

She stroked my hair gently kissing my forehead.

”You’re so fearless. Crying alone in a graveyard. Your voice was so loud I couldn’t rest properly. Don’t cry again am here beside you.” She said patting my back.

I raised my head up looking at her face.

”I know you won’t leave me. You can’t leave me right?” I asked sobbing.

I brought out the golden medal I won in high jump three days ago and showed it to her.

“Mommy, I won a golden medal again. I know you would be happy to see it. You told me am the greatest son in the world right? Lets go home now uhm. I promise not to bother you anymore. I’ll try my best to be a good son from now on. I promise I won’t stay up late at night playing video games instead of studying. I will try my best to impress you from now on. So, Mommy please let’s go home” I said crying.

She was also crying patting my head.

“That’s good of you. Now stop crying it will ruin your handsome face” she said crying also.

“Mommy let’s go home. Am scared of this place” I said crying.

“Am so sorry son. Mommy is so sorry. I promise to protect you from any harm. Am so sorry to leave you so early” she said crying.

She hugged me tight sobbing.

"Mummy why are you sorry? You didn’t do anything wrong.” I said.

She released me still holding my hand. She stepped back a bit crying silently. She waved her hand in a sign of good bye with tears on her face.

“Mommy. Where are you leaving to. Please don’t leave me. You promised to always stay with me. You told me I’m your only hope in this world. Why? Mommy please!” I said crying out more louder. She disappeared into the thin air without a trace.

“Mommy! Mommy please don't leave me!” I cried more kneeling on the ground. Everything seems like a bad dream to me. I wish someone could wake me up from the long dream.

The following morning, dad sent his body guard to pick me up from the graveyard because I never wanted to leave. I was forced in the car and taken to him. He comforted me and promise to look after me in place of my mother. But all was false.

The first wife made life hard for me when he noticed the special treatment I was receiving from him. She planned different tricks until she succeeded in turning his back on me.

Even since I left the graveyard, I started seeing strange things people can’t see. At first I was scared and always scream every time they appear. But when time goes by, I got used to it. Until a day I was able to see my mom. I was so happy but it didn’t last for long. She used to visit me almost everyday and I was happy I could see ghosts at those moments. She told me to forget the past and move on with my life. After some times, I was not able to see her again but I could see other ghosts and evil spirits.
*************************************************

When dad said that, it reminds me of the painful memory. He gave his speeches talking about the company and others.

“Since Nathan is the first son, I assigned to the post of this company president” he said looking at everyone. His PA handed him a file and he wrote something on it.

“And John would be the vice president.”

On hearing that, I almost laughed but I controlled myself. So, he believed I could work in his company? Never!” I thought to myself looking at him badly.

He assigned Mary to his other company. And promise to do the same for Julie when she graduates.

After the meeting, we all left the office. I planned to call father and tell him am not interested in what he offered later when I get home. As I walked towards the elevator, Nathan got to me. He stood before me smiling.
*************************************************

Stella’s POV
I reappeared before Mr. Handsome and saw a guy before him. He was also handsome but his face looks scary.

“Who’s he?”I asked Mr. Handsome looking at the guy.

Immediately I said that, he looks at my direction with a shock expression on his face.

“Why? Can he see me?” I thought to myself staring at him in surprise.

Mr. Handsome was also staring at him.

Episode 6
He diverted his attention back to Mr. Handsome smiling.

“It will be good to see you around. So let’s be good to each other from now on OK?” he said stretching his hand for a shake.

Mr. Handsome was staring at him with bad looks.

“It’s so painful that won’t be possible because I refuse to work here. I have my own job am not interested in what he said earlier. So, stop every naughty thoughts you have in your head” he said looking at him.

The guy laughed out looking at him.

“Why? Are you afraid of anything? Come on Bro.” he asked looking at him.

He moved closer to his ear making a serious face.

“I’ll also be happy if you do that. Live like this for the rest of your life” he said almost in a whisper.

“What an evil guy.” I said looking at him badly.

I could see how Mr. Handsome tightened his fist in anger. The bad guy tapped his shoulder lightly with a smile on his face.

”Goodbye bro. We’ll meet again” he said and left.

I moved to Mr. Handsome side feeling pity for him.

“How could he say that to you? He’s really a bad and evil human being. Don’t be annoyed by that OK?” I said feeling bad.

He didn’t say anything to me or did as if he heard me. He walked towards the elevator still looking angry.

“He’s not in a good mood again” I said looking sad also. I disappeared and followed him.

John’s POV
When I got home, I called father and told him am not interested in the post he gave me. I told him am OK working and living on my own. But he refused to agree with that. He nagged and shouted on phone. He said i can’t live my life the way I want it if I can’t live as his own son. He can never let any of his child look like beggar. He even threatened to destroy the company am working for if I continue acting on my own. I told him I don’t care whatever he’ll do I can never work in his company. He got more angry and his noise became louder on phone.

After the call, I was so down I don’t know what to do next. He’s capable of doing all what he said on phone. I don’t want innocent people suffering just because of me.

But I never want to depend on his money or engage myself with his companies.

I sat down on my bed looking annoyed. I threw the phone on the bed beside me. Few minutes later, as I was about standing up, a call came in again. I saw it was Roseline, the last wife calling. I picked it and placed it to my ear. She said dad called her and told her everything I said. Since she’s the closest to me ever since my mom died. So dad told her to talk to me about the matter if she doesn’t want to see me regret it later. She asked us to meet up at her place which I told her it’s OK. She hung up the call after we finished the conversations.

I dropped my phone beside me looking more angry.

“How could he tell her about it so fast? I don’t have think it’s a must I work for him. Why is he threatening me?” I thought to myself.

I stood up and picked my car key heading out of my room. Immediately I got out, the ghost girl appeared beside me.

“Where are you heading to? Should I follow you?” she asked walking beside me.

Due to my anger, I was not able to reply or look at her. I went straight to my car and unlocked it. I sat down and fastened the seat belt. She also got in, sitting beside me.

At Mrs. Roseline's house....
We sat down opposite to each other in the living room. Julie was not back from school yet. Mrs. Roseline sat in way she was crossing her legs with a glass of wine in her hand.

“Am so happy you came. Thanks for the honour and respect you showed me” she said placing the glass on the table.

“Why do you reject the offer? You know I always support you in everything you do but this time, I can’t accept this” she said looking at me.

“I know. What I want is freedom. I want to be free from my father’s shadow. Am happy living alone all by myself. Entering the company could take away the little happiness I have now. I don’t want to end up like my mother. I have to protect myself and live freely as she taught me” I said looking at her.

She laughed hysterically after I said this. I wonder why she’s laughing. She stopped and looked at me.

“My dear you’re funny. You’re still behaving childish. That’s not a good reason. You have to stop acting weak. I expected you to fight for your rights and position as the second child of James Williams. I know it’s a battlefield that’s why you have to face the worst parts of it just to win and get to the top. Many challenges will come your way but you have to overcome it. Am telling you this just because I cherish you like my real son. John it’s time to break out of your weak shell. Do you plan to live like a beggar for the rest of your life? It’s time to wake up from those false dreams. It’s time to stand up and fight for yourself.” she said looking serious.

I was short of words, I don’t know what to say anymore. After some minutes, I finally replied to what she said.

“I understand how you feel. And I know what am saying. Maybe I’ll think about it and give you feedback later” I said looking at her.

She smiled nodding her head in agreement.

“I’ll take my leave then” I said standing up.

When I turned to leave, I saw the ghost girl standing behind me. She heard all what we just said. With the looks in her eyes, I could see she felt pity for me.

“Drive carefully” Mrs. Roseline said. I walked towards the door ignoring the ghost girl. When I got to my car at the garage, she popped out from nowhere and stood beside me.

“Am sorry for listening to your conversations.” she said. I ignored her not saying anything.

“But I think what she said is truth. By looking at her, I could see she want the best for you. You have to follow her words, And for the lost of your mother…”

“Did I ask of your opinion? Why does it have to concern you? Don’t butt into my private life. You don’t have the right to pity me OK?” I said looking at her.

“I know you don’t need my opinion but I just feel like telling you this. I think you have to follow her advises. If you continue acting stubborn, it might hurt people close to you. You have to obey what your father want if you want to keep everything you have” she said with a serious expression.

“You don’t know anything about this so don’t just open your mouth and say whatever you feel like. I know what am saying, I know what am avoiding. I feel happy living on my own without being bothered by anyone. I have to avoid some things just to live a longer and happy life.” I said to her.

“Fool! How could you say that? If you keep avoiding it, it will hurt you more. you might end up regretting your actions later in future. You have to face it just to overcome it. Stop being a coward. If you continue like this, your mother might curse you later in her grave. You’re acting childish as she said earlier. Your father want the best for you” the ghost girl said looking at me.

I was so angry to hear her say that. I think she went too far with her words. I was staring at her badly.

“Get lost!”I said looking at her angrily.

“I know that’s the worst you could say. But it won’t change anything at all. I just felt pity for you that’s all” she said again sounding more annoying to me.

My temper was becoming uncontrollable by now.

“I said get lost. What right do you have to pity me? I don’t need that from you OK? You look more pitiful than I because you’re nothing but a ghost. Go away from me. Why do you follow me around saying rubbish with that mouth? I don’t want to see you again. So, stop hunting me. Was I the one that killed you?” I asked looking at her angrily.

She stared at me for a while with an unknown expression written on her face.

“That’s true. You were not the one that murdered me. I think you could say that because you don’t know how valuable it is to be a human. You were seen by people you love and they could also see and talk to you. You were never as lonely as I am. The reason I was following you was because, I thought you were the right person to save me from my lonely days. I came to you because I thought you could help me.

Do you know how hurt and lonely it is to walk alone not being noticed by people for three years? You never experienced that because you’re still using your chances as a human. Have you forgotten you would also end up like me one day? You don’t have to judge me badly because am a ghost. I was once a human like you. I was saying all that to you because I care and I want the best for you. But it seems like you’re not ok with it.

It’s OK. I’ll get lost just like you said. I won’t bother you anymore from now on. I think I was mistaken for me to think you can help me.” she said looking sad.

I felt really bad after hearing all what she said. I now feel like a bad guy by her words. I think I went too harsh on her. I felt so sorry towards her because I never knew she was this miserable than I.

Before I could say a word, she disappeared into the thin air. I started looking around hoping for her to come back.

Episode 7
After I searched and couldn’t find her, I rested my head on the body of my car feeling bad and worst. My phone was ringing but I was too weak to pick it. After it rang for long, it went off then rings again after some seconds.
I brought it out from my pocket wondering who it could be. I checked the caller and saw it was Jane one of my ex girlfriend. I picked the call and placed it to my ear.

“Why are you calling? I told you not to call again.” I said to her.

“So you can do this to me after the promises you made? I thought you said you love me. Why are you pushing me away now?” she asked in a sad voice.

“So you believe that? I don’t love you again just let me be. When I say game over just drop the card and get lost. Am tired of you” I said.

“You’re a bad guy. I thought you really want me but you played me and now telling me to get lost. F–k you! You won’t get away with that I promise you” she yelled angrily on phone. After saying that, she hung up the call.

I brought down my phone slowly. Not too long, another call came in. I thought it was Jane again. I already prepared myself to block her a-s of my line. But the person calling was Betty. She was my girlfriend also. We’ve been dating since last week but am tired of her already. When we first met was at a hotel I went to visit one of my friends. She came to me first when I was about leaving. She’s not that pretty but I just wish to have a taste of her and dump her off later because she was so hot that night.

After saying sweet words to her, and she also fell deep into my romantic sweet trap. I succeeded in having one night stand with her that same night. We exchanged contacts and I promise to call her when I get home. She came to my house later again another day and we had sex.

Since the day I had sex with her the second time, I got tired of her already when I met Jessy at a club.

Jessy was so pretty and hot. She fell for me at first sight and I used the advantage on her. We’ve been dating for the past four days now. I know I’ll soon dump her too when the time comes.

When I saw it was Betty calling, I first refused to pick it but when it rang the second time, I decided to take the call.

Conversations.
Me: what’s up?
Betty: I don’t know you’re this worst. How could you cheat on me? So you were dating my friend Gabriella too right. How could you? So you were playing me? You’re worst than anything.” she said almost crying on phone.

I never knew she and Gabriella were friends. I met that girl two week ago but I dumped her already maybe she found out am dating Betty too and told her everything. I already blocked her contact from my phone so, she won’t be able to reach me again except we bump into each other on street.

Me: "Is there big deal in that?” I said in a mocking voice.

Betty: "You’re an a—–e for saying that. I don’t need you again. Get the f–k out of my life. You this son of a b—h” she said angrily.

I smiled to myself as she said that. How does she know am tired of her already?

Me: "Wow. That’s so cool babe. I’ve been looking for a way to say that instead. Because I can’t stand your ugliness anymore. Please can you hang it up over there, am too busy to do that here” I said smiling.

Betty: "Do you mean that? Am sorry for what I said. I was really mad for a minute. Please forgive my manner. Please pardon me” she said in a pleading voice.

Me: "Babe E.N.D means over. Game over” I said and hung up the call before any further explanation.

I blocked her from calling me and was about putting my phone on the seat. It rang again and on the screen was Abigael. I hissed and dropped it angrily.

“You guys won’t kill me at this point. Am tired Please!” I said sounding frustrated.

I got in the car and drove straight home.
*************************************

Stella’s POV
I sat on top of a fence looking around the environment as people walked on the street from different angles. I sighed heavily looking sad and lonely.

“He’s a bad jerk. How could he say that to me? He’s too cold and heartless. He’s more worst than evil spirits and ghosts.” I said to myself.

As I was still talking to myself, I noticed some ghosts trying to get something from a little boy. He was struggling to free himself from them but he was too weak and tiny.

“What the hell are they doing. Are they bullying him?” I said looking at the scene.

I disappeared from the fence and reappeared behind them. I peeped through what they were fighting on and I saw it was a left over food.

“I got it first. So it’s mine” the little boy said struggling himself from them.

“Give it to us gently or we’ll beat you up” one of the two ghost said.

“Like seriously. Are they ganging up on this tiny boy?” I said laughing.

I moved closer to them folding my arms.

“Why are you guys threatening the boy?” I asked when I got to them.

“It’s none of your business so get lost” the first ghost said.

“I think am hearing too much of that words today. Get lost. Get lost. Get lost. Why do you guys like saying that. You’re not the only who that could say that. Now am telling you guys to get lost instead.” I said moving closer to them with my two arms folded together.

“You’re so fearless. How could you face three guys talking carelessly like that? Should I teach you a lesson?” one of them said looking at me.

He moved closer and grabbed my hair tightly.

“Ouch. That’s so painful. Let me go or you’ll regret this” I said.

But he pulled more harder. I grabbed his hand and twisted it backward. The remaining two ghosts came to me and I started kicking them off with my feet. I threw the guy to the the floor and faced others. They stood up again and came to me. The first ghost hit my tummy and I punched his face in return. The little boy bit one of them at the arm which made him flung him at a wall far from us. I looked at the boy as he struggled to stand up but I felt a punch at my back. It moved me forward a bit that I almost fell to the ground. I turned to them feeling more angry.

”You guys are dead today” I said taking off the hairpin at my hair.

I moved closer to them and stabbed the first ghost by it’s neck when I saw the glowing red sign which means the weak point. Once it was stab, they’ll turn into aches and vanish into the thin air. Some might have the sign at their chest, some by their arms while some by their heart. Once I stabbed the ghost with the sharp pointed pin, It turns into aches immediately I withdrew it. The two other ghosts saw this and quickly disappeared into the thin air. I inserted the pin back into my hair and went to the small boy.

“Are you OK?” I asked him.

He nodded his head smiling.

“Yes. Because am a ghost” he said looking at me. That sounds familiar. I looked at him closely and remembered he was the little boy I met at the bus stop the other day.

“Oh you’re the rude little boy” I said pointing at him.

“Thanks for saving me from them” he said smiling.

He stood up from the ground holding my hand.

“Now. I think we’re friends” he said smiling.

“Friends?” I asked looking at him.

He nodded his head smiling.
*************************************

John’s POV
It’s dark already, I went out to buy some drugs from a pharmacy because I had been feeling sick since I got back. I bought the drugs and paid for it.

“Thank you sir” the matron said smiling.

I left the pharmacy and was leaving for my house. I wore a black hoodie cardigan covering my head with the hood because of the cold weather. I walked down the silent and lonely street leading to my building. I started having different bad thoughts.

“If an evil ghost popped out of nowhere that will be bad for me. What if it’s following me already? Am so scared like seriously” I thought to myself looking around the street like a lost stray cat.

When I got to a corner, I noticed my shoelace was loose and it might fall me to the ground. I bent down and tied it properly. After tying it, I stood up still looking down at it. I raised my head up and saw a scary looking ghost’s face close to mine.

“Oh my gosh!” I said and fell back to the ground in shock. It’s an evil ghost. It looks like it will pluck out my liver and eat it up. Because I learnt they eat up human livers. I was so scared I don’t know what to do next. He started moving closer and I was also moving back.

“I want your liver. You’re so fresh and delicious. It will taste so yummy and good” he said laughing.

“Go away from me. You can’t do that to me. Please go away” I said looking at it.

It got closer and bent beside me smiling.

“It has been long I tasted one. Am so happy and lucky to found you” he said reaching his hand to touch me.

I spat on his face to stop him.

“Stay back!” I yelled at him.

“Seriously” he said wiping off the spite from his face.

“You’re so fearless” he said again looking angry.

He reached his hand for my neck and snapped it tightly.

I struggled to free myself but he was too powerful. He took me up with my neck. My leg was hanging in the air as I find it really hard to breath. I held his hand with both hands looking down at him. He was smiling happily looking at my chest.

“I think my time is up on earth. No one could save my liver from this evil spirit. So painful this how am gonna die. Am sorry to you all. Betty, Gabriella, Jane, Lizzy and all the girls I broke their hearts. Am really sorry to you guy please forgive me so that I can make it to heaven when I die. Ghost girl please forgive me too. I think I should say this at least before I die” I thought to myself as my breath became more header.

He reached his hand towards my chest to ripe it out. I closed my eyes tightly as it got closer.

Suddenly I heard a sound on stabbing. I thought his hand went in my chest already but I felt nothing. The next I know was that I fell hard to the ground breathing heavily and groaning in pain. I looked up but I couldn’t find the evil ghost anymore. All I could see was the image of the ghost girl holding a sharp long pointed steel in her hand. I closed my eyes then opened them again. I still saw her standing there staring at me.

“Is this a dream?” I asked in a weak voice. She moved closer and bent her back a little looking at my face.

“No it’s not” she replied looking at me.

As she bent her back, a shining silver necklace was hanging down from her neck. I was surprised to see the necklace on her. There’s only one of the necklace in this world because I made the design specially for my mum on her 30th birthday. How come she’s having the necklace with her?”I thought to myself staring at the necklace and staring back at her face.

Episode 8

“Are you OK?” she asked looking at me.

I quickly stood up from the ground still starring at her neck. She looked at my face then looked back at the necklace. She wanted to put it back into her dress but I stopped her by holding her hand. She was staring at me strangely. I never touch her before ever since we met. Her skin was so cold and soft. I dropped her hand and looked at the necklace closely once again. After some seconds of staring, she covered it with her hand. she doesn’t understand why am staring at it like that.

“Why? Why are you acting this way? You suppose to thank me for saving your liver and your life, but all you do Is stare at my necklace?” she asked looking at me.

I held her shoulders looking straight into her eyes.

”Where did you find that necklace? Please tell me why you’re having this necklace?” I asked looking impatient.

“Calm down. Why are you like this?” she asked trying to remove my hands from her shoulder.

“Please you have to tell me. That necklace was the only design I made myself for someone special to me as gift. That’s the only one design we have. How come you’re having it. I mean where did you get it?” I asked looking at her.

She brought down my hands from her shoulders and sighed heavily.

“I don’t even know why am having this. I just know it’s with me since three years now. I thought it might be a gift from my parents or boyfriend but I don’t remember any of them. I don’t even know how I die or what caused my death. For the past three years, this necklace has been with me” she said looking at me.

I stared at her for seconds looking more confused.

She said three years ago, Same year as my mom’s death. Could there death be connected? Is it possible they both died on the same day and location?” I thought to myself staring at her.

“Do you remember the date of your death? Can you tell me the location? And what happened that day?” I asked impatiently.

She sighed looking confused.

“How do you expect me to tell you that when I don’t even know how I die. I told you I don’t have any memory of my death or how I live in the human world.” she replied looking at me.

I looked around the dark street and checked my wrist watch. The time says quarter after eight.

“Let’s get out of here first. It’s dangerous for me right now” I said.

I walked down forgetting about the drugs I bought. I feel no pain anymore. Everything disappeared the first time I saw the evil ghost.

“Where are we leaving to?” she asked.

“My house” I replied not looking at her.

“Really? Why? Do you plan to help me?” she asked sounding happy.

I didn’t say anything but just kept going.

I sat down on the couch opposite to her. And I continued my questions.

“So you mean you don’t even know the owner of the necklace?” I asked.

She nodded her head in response.

“I just know I have it” she replied.

“Why are you so interested in this necklace?” she asked looking at me.

“Because the necklace was a gift from me to my mom” I replied clearly.

“How could that be? So you mean this is from your momm? But how does it got to me?” she asked confusingly.

“Exactly! That’s what am trying to know. Why do you have it?” I said looking at her.

“I think there’s something fishy about this case.” I added.

“So could it be possible I met your mom before I die?” she asked.

“So you mean you can’t even recall anything about that day?” I asked her.

“No I don’t…” she stopped for a while thinking over it again.

“Oh yes. I could only recall a memory not too long ago, which is not really clear to me.” she said trying to remember.

On hearing that, I adjusted from my seat moving a little closer to her.

“Can you tell me about it? How does it go?” I asked looking at her.

“It was not clear but I remembered I heard my voice. And the second voice was a guy’s voice. I was crying and begging him to spare my life. But he said… “

”It’s too late dear, maybe in the next life. Goodbye I love you”

”He said that and stabbed me with a sharp dagger. After he stabbed me, all I could hear was a great splash of water. That’s all I could remember” she said looking at me.

“Murder? That means you were murdered by the guy in your memory. A great splash of water you said?” I asked.

“That part is not clear. Does it mean someone fell into a river or what? It looks mysterious” I said wondering what happened at that part.

“Is that all you could remember?”I asked her.

“Yes. That’s all I could remember” she replied staring at me.

“Something is off. Could the splash be when my mom fell or could it be the guy threw her into the river from a bridge? If that’s it, how does she have her necklace then? Oh my God this is so confusing.” I thought to myself running my hand in my hair.

“So, do you really plan to help me?” I asked looking at him. He stood up from the couch looking at me.

“Yes. I will.”he replied heading towards his room.

I stood up and followed him behind feeling happy. When he was about opening the door, he stopped at turned back.

“Where do you think you’re following me to?” he asked still standing by the entrance.

“Oops sorry. I lost my mind for a while. Are you going to bed already?” I asked.

He sighed looking at me.

“So where do you expect me to go? To watch movie? Please I need to sleep early because of my work tomorrow” he replied trying to go in.

I held his cloth lightly looking at him.

“What’s it again?” he asked looking at me.

I faced the floor not looking at him.

“What?” he asked again wondering what I want to say.

“Can I stay here with you?” I asked not raising my head.

He was silent for some minutes before replying me.

“OK fine. You can, but on one condition” he replied.

On hearing that, I raised my head feeling happy.

"Really? Seriously? I can stay here?” I asked smiling happily.

But when I thought of the condition he mentioned, I stopped smiling changing my expression.

“What’s the condition?” I asked looking at him.

“You’ll know that tomorrow” he replied and went inside shutting the door behind him.

I walked away slowly from his door moving to the living room.

"What could that be?” I asked feeling curious.

I started walking around in the living room smiling happily.
*************************************

Four days later…

John’s POV
I dressed in a neat well ironed black suite matching with my shining black well polished shoe.
I picked my car key from the stood and walked out of my room. I got to the living room but couldn’t find the ghost girl.

“I wondered where she left to this early morning” I said making my way out to the compound. I got to the compound and went to my car. When I drove out, I saw her talking to a little ghost boy.
*************************************

Stella’s POV
I gave the ghost boy some food from Mr. Handsome's fridge before he could wake up.

“Thank you so much” he said smiling as he received it from me.

“Eat a lot OK? What’s your name?” I asked him as he started eating.

“I don’t know my name. I can’t remember” he said rushing the food into his mouth.

“You don’t have a name?” I asked.

“Yes I don’t. I’ll like to remember my name at least but I couldn’t” he said.

“OK. What if I give you a name?” I asked smiling.

“Really? What’s it?” he asked smiling with his mouth full of some food particles.

“Hmm. Alex” I said smiling.

“Wow. I love it. So am Alex from now on?” he asked smiling happily.

“Yes Alex” I replied patting his head lightly.

I heard a car honking behind us and I quickly looked back. It’s Mr. Handsome. Where is he going to by this time? I thought to myself staring at his car. I faced Alex smiling.

“I have to go now OK? I’ll talk to you later.” I said patting his back.

“Ooh. Really?” he asked making a sad expression.

“Don’t worry. I promise to bring a lot of food for you when I get back OK?” I said smiling.

“OK. Bye”he said looking at me.

I left him and walked to Mr. Handsome's car. I disappeared into the car sitting beside him.
I looked at the way he dressed. His dressing looks extra ordinary. I wonder if he’s going to his work dressing like that.

“Why are you dressed like this? Are you going for wedding registration?” I asked looking at him.

“Wedding… You’re so dumb. Can’t you tell am going to work?” I said dressing my suite well.

“Oh work?” I repeated nodding my head.

“So who do you want to propose to at your work place?” I asked again looking curious.

He covered his face with his right palm in frustration.

“I don’t know ghosts are this senseless” he said almost in a whisper thinking I won’t hear him.

“What do you say?” I asked looking at him.

“Never mind” He said.

He removed his hand from his face and drove slowly down the street.

Few minutes later, we got to a big company. I think we’ve been to this place before. He drove the car to the garage and got down locking the car with a remote. I also got out and stood beside him. I looked up at the giant looking company. Oh this is his father’s company. Does he agree to work here?

I turned to him looking confused.

“Do you finally agree to what your father said?” I asked him.

“Of course. Am also James Williams son. From now on, I’ll live as my true identity. I plan to find the reason behind my mother’s death and punish whosoever was behind it. So, here I comes ANEL Entertainment” he said smiling. I looked at him smiling also.

John’s POV
We got to the elevator and I opened it. When I got to the eleventh floor, the elevator stopped and I walked out heading to my office.

“Hey!”I heard a voice behind me. I looked back and saw Debbie. She was putting on a long pink gown matching with her blue hills and fashion blue hand bag. She looks pretty as always. As I saw her, a smile formed on my face.

“Who’s she?” the ghost girl asked as she came closer.

“Wow. It’s good to see you here. Are you here to visit someone?” I asked her smiling.

“Oh actually I have something am doing here on the sixth floor. We’re having a fashion modeling program there. Am the moderator of the event so, that’s what brought me here. What of you? Are you here to see someone?” she asked.

Just as I was about replying her, Stephen walked up to us. He was so surprised to see me in the company.

We both were both staring at each other not saying anything or greeting each other. I smiled on seeing the expression on his face.
I know the battle line is drawn between both of us. Because am also ready for every worst part of it. I won’t lose to him this time like I did back in high school.

“I wondered where she left to this early morning” I said making my way out to the compound. I got to the compound and went to my car. When I drove out, I saw her talking to a little ghost boy.
*************************************

Stella’s POV
I gave the ghost boy some food from Mr. Handsome's fridge before he could wake up.

“Thank you so much” he said smiling as he received it from me.

“Eat a lot OK? What’s your name?” I asked him as he started eating.

“I don’t know my name. I can’t remember” he said rushing the food into his mouth.

“You don’t have a name?” I asked.

“Yes I don’t. I’ll like to remember my name at least but I couldn’t” he said.

“OK. What if I give you a name?” I asked smiling.

“Really? What’s it?” he asked smiling with his mouth full of some food particles.

“Hmm. Alex” I said smiling.

“Wow. I love it. So am Alex from now on?” he asked smiling happily.

“Yes Alex” I replied patting his head lightly.

I heard a car honking behind us and I quickly looked back. It’s Mr. Handsome. Where is he going to by this time? I thought to myself staring at his car. I faced Alex smiling.

“I have to go now OK? I’ll talk to you later.” I said patting his back.

“Ooh. Really?” he asked making a sad expression.

“Don’t worry. I promise to bring a lot of food for you when I get back OK?” I said smiling.

“OK. Bye”he said looking at me.

I left him and walked to Mr. Handsome's car. I disappeared into the car sitting beside him.
I looked at the way he dressed. His dressing looks extra ordinary. I wonder if he’s going to his work dressing like that.

“Why are you dressed like this? Are you going for wedding registration?” I asked looking at him.

“Wedding… You’re so dumb. Can’t you tell am going to work?” I said dressing my suite well.

“Oh work?” I repeated nodding my head.

“So who do you want to propose to at your work place?” I asked again looking curious.

He covered his face with his right palm in frustration.

“I don’t know ghosts are this senseless” he said almost in a whisper thinking I won’t hear him.

“What do you say?” I asked looking at him.

“Never mind” He said.

He removed his hand from his face and drove slowly down the street.

Few minutes later, we got to a big company. I think we’ve been to this place before. He drove the car to the garage and got down locking the car with a remote. I also got out and stood beside him. I looked up at the giant looking company. Oh this is his father’s company. Does he agree to work here?

I turned to him looking confused.

“Do you finally agree to what your father said?” I asked him.

“Of course. Am also James Williams son. From now on, I’ll live as my true identity. I plan to find the reason behind my mother’s death and punish whosoever was behind it. So, here I comes ANEL Entertainment” he said smiling. I looked at him smiling also.

John’s POV
We got to the elevator and I opened it. When I got to the eleventh floor, the elevator stopped and I walked out heading to my office.

“Hey!”I heard a voice behind me. I looked back and saw Debbie. She was putting on a long pink gown matching with her blue hills and fashion blue hand bag. She looks pretty as always. As I saw her, a smile formed on my face.

“Who’s she?” the ghost girl asked as she came closer.

“Wow. It’s good to see you here. Are you here to visit someone?” I asked her smiling.

“Oh actually I have something am doing here on the sixth floor. We’re having a fashion modeling program there. Am the moderator of the event so, that’s what brought me here. What of you? Are you here to see someone?” she asked.

Just as I was about replying her, Stephen walked up to us. He was so surprised to see me in the company.

We both were both staring at each other not saying anything or greeting each other. I smiled on seeing the expression on his face.
I know the battle line is drawn between both of us. Because am also ready for every worst part of it. I won’t lose to him this time like I did back in high school.

Episode 10

I smiled stretching my hand for a shake.

“Good morning. President Stephen” I said with a smile.

He was not saying a word or reply to my greeting for a while. I withdrew my hand and dipped it into my pocket.

“Good morning sir” Debbie greeted him smiling.

He nodded his head smiling back at her.

“Good morning” he replied.

“Meet my friend Mr. John” Debbie said pointing to me.

Her phone rang and she excused herself to pick it.

"Excuse me” she said and left.

Immediately she left, Stephen took a step closer to me.

“Why are you here?” he asked.

I laughed at that question before I gave him reply.

“Why do you think am here at my father’s company? Oh have you forgotten am the vice president of this company?” I asked looking at him.

He laughed out loud although my reply was not funny.

“Oh I see. You chose to stay here. Good. Am loving this” he said smiling.

“So. Let’s be good to each other from now on president Stephen” I said stretching my hand for a shake.

He shook my hand but with a little squeeze. I looked at his face and smiled. I released his hand. Just then, Debbie came back holding her cell phone.

“I’ll see you later. I have to take care of something” she said and left.

Stephen was staring at her as she leaves.

“Seems like you guys are close” he said looking at me.

“Maybe you can ask her directly” I said with a smile.

I left him and went towards my office.
*************************************************

Stella’s POV
I was walking around on the eleventh floor, leaving Mr. Handsome after he left to his office. I disappeared and reappeared at a floor I don’t know. I walked slowly looking around as people walks to and fro the company. I got to a place and saw some beautiful ladies dancing. On seeing them, I went into the door looking at them as they move.

“Wow. I love that” I said moving my head to the beat.

As I continue looking at them and moving my body, a memory flashed to my head again.

*****************Flash back********************
Some girls were in group gossiping. The way they dressed showed they just finished a dance practice or were about starting. I saw myself sitting beside a girl. She has a long fringe hair while I had a short black hair tied in a ponytail. The way both of us were sitting, it shows we could be sisters or best friends. I heard what those girls were saying but I ignored them pretending I don’t.

“She’s so full of herself. I don’t know why Debbie hang around with her. She’s just acting like her dog or should I say handbag?” a girl said laughing. They all laughed out loud.

“She’s not the only better one here. Why must she be the only one all the time? We can perform better too” another girl said.

I looked at the girl beside me and she smiled inserting one earphone into my ear to stop me from hearing those annoying voices. I smiled back at her nodding my head.

*****************Back to reality****************
This memory was clear to me. The girl sitting beside me looks so familiar but the more I tried to remember her, the more hard it is to do so.

"That means I was a dancer when I was still alive? But why are they gossiping about me? Why do they envy me?” I thought to myself.

I walked around in the practice room looking at the girls as they moved.

“Jenny stop!” I heard the choreographer’s voice and I turned around looking at them.

“Ooh. Not again. Why’s she getting it wrong again?” the remaining girls started complaining looking at her badly.

The choreographer walked to a girl. She’ll be the same age as I. She has a brown skin which made her look more beautiful. But her expression was bad when the choreographer got to her.

“This is the sixth time you’ll make the same mistake. If you do it one more time, you’re out” she said looking at her.

“Am sorry ma” she said in a weak tone.

She went back to the front and they started from a point.

I was staring at the girl as she moved. She dance well but her moves were a bit slow. When they got to a stage, she made mistake again.

“Oh why?” I said looking at her.

“Jenny out. Meet me after practice” the choreographer said.

She walked slowly out of the line and went to sit at the back of the practice room a little far from them. I could see how some girls reacted when she left.

“Bad girls everywhere” I said looking at them.

I walked to where the girl was sitting. She took off the Snickers she was putting on and drank from a bottle beside her. She placed it down and looked up to where I was standing. She has this surprised and scared expression when she looked up at me. She closed her eyes and started reciting something. I was confused at her reaction.

“Hey!” I called. She dipped her hand into her pocket and brought out a chain which looks like a rosary. She continue reciting it with her eyes closed. I tried to touch her but a force pushed me back. I staggered back with a force which almost land me on the floor.

She opened her eyes staring at me while breathing heavily.

Episode 11

John’s POV
I sat in my office playing game on my phone. A lady walked in holding some files in her hand. She looks so hot and pretty. The skirt she was putting on was so tight and a bit short showing her fresh laps. She placed those files on my table smiling at me In a seductive manner.

“Wow. You look more handsome than I heard about you.” she said smiling.

Wow they already talked about me on my first day at work. This is so cool and interesting.” I thought to myself smiling at her.

“I was asked to bring these files to you. Anyway my name is Cassandra. Am the president’s secretary nice meeting you” she said smiling.

“Wow what a lovely name. Nice meeting you too” I said smiling.

“I have to go for now. I’ll see you later because I have something to say to you” she said.

“Oh really? Alright am here for you. Cassandra.” I said smiling.

She turned back and started walking towards the door. Her back side was a huge one. She has a big Sexy a-s figure. As she walks, her butt swayed right and left to every step she took. My eyes were fixed on her butt as they bounce like she’s tweaking. She opened the door and walked out.

I swallowed hard when she left. Before I know it, I was already standing on my feet. I wonder how I got up from the seat. I sat back on the chair picking my phone from the desk.

“Cassandra. Wow you hit me at the right point” I said smiling.
*************************************************

Stella’s POV
When I balanced on my feet, I was staring at her in confusion wondering what just happened. She was also staring at me holding the rosary in her hand. I now understand what she just did. I learnt some human have something to protect themselves from evil ghosts and evil spirits. I think she was reciting that because she saw me. She thought am an evil spirit or trying to harm her. I was moving closer to her slowly.

"Jenny. I mean no harm OK. Am not an evil person” I said looking at her.

“Leave me alone!” she screamed on top of her voice which attracted the rest attention to her. The music was stopped as they were all staring at her in confusion.

“Jenny what’s it?” the choreographer asked looking at her.

“It’s nothing ma” she replied in a shaky voice.

“Are you sure?” she asked again to confirm.

“Yes ma.” she replied.

"Okay. Lower your voice OK” she said and they continue.

Jenny stood up from where she was sitting and headed out.

I followed her and found out she was heading to the bathroom. When she got there, she just went to the tap to wash her face. She looked into the mirror and I guess she could see me through the mirror because I can’t see myself through the mirror I could only see her. She turned back facing me.

“Jenny I mean no harm. I felt bad about how the choreographer sent you out back there. I thought you could not see me but I was wrong about that. I mean you no harm.” I said looking at her.

“Is that it?” she said looking at me.

I was so happy she responded. I think I made another human friend so quick.

“Yes. And am happy you responded. I know some pretend they don’t see us when they do. Am happy you could respond to me so quick” I said smiling.

She smiled looking at me.

“Thanks for your concern. This is not the first time of been kicked out of practice. I think this is not my path but my mom insisted I must be a dancer. She wants me to be a celebrity just like Debbie Annie, Suzy Mick and many other successful celebrity out there. Isn’t that funny? I think she’s too selfish. She only thought of how she feel not minding what her daughter might feel about it. Although I also love dancing but I think I can’t do any better than this. It makes me want to give up every time am trying to do better but she will never allow that. So funny," she said smiling.

“Really? That’s so bad. But I think your mother want the best for you. You can also be better than those celebrities in future just believe in yourself. Believe you can do it. Every successful human today don’t give up on their dreams and ambitions they kept trying and trying till they were able to make it to their goals. Jenny you can do better. Believe in yourself and keep trying.” I said looking at her.

She nodded her head looking at me.

“You’re such a wonderful person. Thanks for the advise” she said smiling.
*************************************************

John’s POV
It’s 6:45pm, I was already preparing to leave the office. But I think am missing something when I was about leaving.

“What could I be missing? What’s it?” I started thinking hard to remember.

“Oh yes. The ghost girl. Where could she be?” I said looking around. I stopped for a while feeling like a nuisance.

“Why am worried about a ghost? It’s not like she doesn’t know how to make her way home.” I said.

I picked my car key from the table and left the office heading out of to the elevator. I walked slowly hoping she’ll pop out to my side as usual but she was not showing up.

“What could be happening?” I thought to myself not feeling comfortable.

I got to the elevator and waited for it to open. After a while, the elevator opened. I looked at the person Inside and saw Debbie. I enter and pressed a button to close it.

“Why are you leaving this late? Does the person you’re here to see delayed you?” she asked looking at me.

“Should I say that?” I asked smiling.

“Are you going home?” I asked her.

“Yes. I am.” she replied.

“Would you mind if I invite you for a drink?” I asked looking at her.

“Really? That would be great. Am free for now” she replied smiling.

The elevator stopped when it got to the last floor. We both walked out heading to the compound.
*************************************************

Stella’s POV
By 7:15pm, Jenny and I were walking side by side on the street. I said I wish to walk her home and she was OK by that. I already told her about how I live my life as a ghost. I told her I was not able to remember how I died too and she also told me about when she started seeing ghosts. We’re already close just like Friends. I can see she’s a simple minded person. She’s free spirited and has a soft mind. She got shy when she’s with people but feel free when she’s with me. I wonder why she chose to act that way.

“So, you mean you were also a dancer when you were still alive?” she asked.

“Yes. I could remember that.” I replied.

She stopped all of a sudden and started staring at me.

“The more I look at you. You looks so familiar to me. But I can’t remember if I saw your face before. What’s your name?” she asked looking at me.

“My name is Stella” I replied looking at her.

“I think am wrong. You looks so familiar but I think that name doesn’t sound familiar. Maybe I once saw you as a ghost” she said thinking about it.

She continue walking while I also walked beside her.

EPISODE 12
“I guess you were a good dancer when you were still human” she said smiling.

“Who knows. Everything is gone now that am a ghost. It’s useless” I said.

“If you were so good, you might be of help to me someday.” she said smiling.

“Huh. How can that be?” I asked looking at her.

“I heard some ghosts could possess a human body. You’ll just have to do that for me during my performance. That’ll be so perfect. I mean if I could be seen by people dancing amazingly. That’ll make my mom so happy. And that would make me happy myself” she said smiling.

“Is that possible?” I asked her.

“I don’t know. I was just assuming” she said.

“I never possess a human body before. I think that’s impossible” I said looking at her.

“It might be and might not. My grandma told me it’s possible. But I never believe in that.” she said looking at me.

“Could it be true? If I could possess human body, people would be able to see me. I won’t live a lonely life anymore. That would be so good. I think I might also help her. But I think it’s impossible” I thought to myself.

“I can do anything just to be a good dancer. I want to impress my mom on my next performance. She always felt disappointed but this time, am trying my best to make her happy. Our performance is just four days to go. I don’t want to be left out this time too.” she said looking sad.

I felt pity for her but there’s nothing I can do about that. Should I try possessing her body?” I thought to myself looking at her.

But shook my head to snap out of it.

“Should I try it?” I thought again but hesitated.

She stopped and faced me smiling.

“Would you give it a try?” she asked facing me. I was so surprised she knows what I’ve been thinking about.

“Can you read my thoughts?” I thought to myself looking at her.

“Yes I can. I know you wanted to help. I know you’re not a bad person, that was why I trust you easily at the first place. I can read thoughts so I know what you’re thinking.” she replied looking at me.

My jaw dropped in amazement.

“Do you really want me to possess you?” I asked her.

“You can give it a try” she replied standing still.

“I never done this before but I prayed it worked” I said looking at her.

I closed my eyes and moved closer to her body. What I felt next was so shocking to me.

I looked beside me but couldn’t find her anymore.

“Jenny!” I called her name but the sound coming from me was different.

“Am I possessing her body right now?” I said touching my face.

The temperature felt warm just as a human body. I placed my hand on my chest to feel the heartbeat. To my surprise, it was beating. I quickly ran to a car packed by the side. I looked at myself in the mirror, I could see Jenny’s face in the mirror.

“Wow. It works. It really works.” I said smiling.

A man was passing by, I moved to his side smiling.

"Can you see me?” I asked him. He looked at me In confusion.

“What’s this crazy girl talking about?” he said and went his way.

I was so happy I could be seen by people but I was sad all was fake. Am possessing another person body.

I felt something vibrating inside her pocket. I dipped my hand inside and brought out her phone.

“Sweet mom” it was written on the screen.

I was staring at it not knowing what to do. I was thinking if I could pick it or not. But when I thought of how she talked her mom, I think she was worried about her.

I answered it and placed it to my ear.

“Jenny. Why are you not home yet?” she asked sounding worried.

I don’t know how to reply her. What, should I say to her?

“A…am…on my… W..way home” I said in a stammering voice.

“OK dear. Don’t be late OK?” she said and ended the call.

I brought down the phone and put it back into her pocket.

“How should I get out of her?” I thought to myself.

I tried going out but it doesn’t seem easy to do like the first first time. I tried and tried but to no avail.

“What should I do now? I think your mom is worried” I said feeling bad.

I unlocked her phone to check if I could find her address. Luckily for me, I was able to find it on her Facebook timeline. I followed the address there until I was able to get to her street. I don’t know which way to go again so I started walking slowly. I accidentally bumped into someone.

“Am sorry” I said looking at the girl.

“Oh Jenny. Where are you heading to this late?” she asked looking at me.

I had no idea of who she is. I think she might be one of her friend. I was staring at her for a while like a deaf and dumb.

“Oh am heading home” I replied smiling.

“Really? So you mean that’s the way home?” she asked looking at me.

“Oh it’s not this way” I said looking at her. She was staring at me awkwardly.

“That’s your building over there. Why are you acting wield?” she asked looking at me.

I started laughing on hearing that.

“Am I really acting wield? I think I drank too much that’s why” I said laughing.

“Oh it seems so” she said looking at me.

I quickly walked towards the gate she pointed to and opened it. I walked towards the building looking around the compound. It looks like an average class home. Not too rich and not poor. I walked to the door and pressed the bell on it.

“Welcome home dear” a woman’s voice said. She opened the door smiling.

She’s so pretty just like Jenny. She has a short blond hair and was putting on a red fitted gown. I entered and she closed the door behind us. I walked down the passage while she followed behind, few seconds later, I was in the living room.

“How was practice today?” she asked smiling.

“It was good ma” I replied looking at her.

“Ma?” she repeated looking at me.

“I mean mom” I corrected myself.

“OK that’s good. Go and take a warm shower before having your dinner. Since you prefer doing that” she said.

I stood up not knowing which way to go.

“Where could her room be?” I thought to myself looking around.

“Let me check something.”

She left the living room heading somewhere. I quickly went to one of the room and opened the door. I looked inside and saw how it was set. One could tell it’s her room. Because it was decorated in pink and purple and some celebrity poster on the wall. I entered and walked around in her room. I think she might caught on later. How should I keep this on?

EPISODE 13

John’s POV
I sat in the living room expecting the ghost girl, but she was no where to be found. After waiting for some minutes, I went to my room to sleep.

The following day...
Till I arrived at work, I couldn’t found her anywhere near my house. When I got to the company, I became more worried about her.

“Could something bad had happen to her?” I thought to myself.

As I was still thinking about her, a girl came to me smiling. She was putting on a black T-shirt which has blue stripes on it and a Jean pant trouser. She braided her hair into two tying the end with colorful bonds. She got to me and was smiling.

“Good morning Mr. Handsome” she said smiling.

“Mr. Handsome?” I said looking at her. That sounds familiar.

“Sorry I didn’t show up yesterday. Something funny came up” she said.

“Wait. Don’t tell me you…” I stopped looking at her. She moved closer to my ear.

“It’s me Stella. I possessed this pretty girl’s body” she said in a whisper.

My eyes went wild on hearing that.

“How could you? Why?” I asked in surprise. She looked around and looked back at me.

“I’ll tell you about it later. I need to go for practice at the sixth floor.” she said and left.

“Wow I can’t believe she did that. This is driving me crazy”I said looking at her.
*************************************

Stephen’s POV
I was staring at John and the girl as they talk. The first time I saw her, I was so shocked and surprised. She’s so bold as always.
She could even possess a human body? Impressive.

“I can’t believe we could meet again. Long time no see Suzy Mick” I thought to myself looking at her as she left.

I turned back to leave, then I saw Debbie coming. I quickly put on a smile to hide the expression on my face.

“Morning” she greeted.

“Good morning. I expected you to meet with me yesterday but you didn’t show up” I said looking at her.

“Yes. I had an emergency meeting yesterday. Sorry for disappointing you.” she said not looking good.

“Really. I have missed you. It has been long we last talk properly ever since I left to the state. I want things back in place huh” I said looking at her.

She nodded her head in response.

“OK I understand you. You know am kind of too busy these days.” she replied.

“OK. Can you make it tonight?” I asked.

“I’ll call you when I check my schedule for today. It’s like am free tonight” she replied.

“Alright. I’ll be expecting your call” I said and she left. I left the scene heading to my office.
*************************************

Stella’s POV
I entered the practice room and saw the girls already hanging around. The choreographer is not yet there. Since I don’t know anybody I could talk to, I sat alone beside the speaker.

Some were doing free style some were laughing and chatting. I spotted three girls at a corner looking at me and gossiping about something. When I saw the killer look on their face, I also stared back at them badly.

“I know you guys are the one giving the poor Jenny hard time. They’re not even as pretty as her” I thought to myself. They started coming towards me. When they got to me, they stopped and a weird looking girl stepped forward. She was putting on a loose long sleeve off shoulder top which was above her abdomen and a black bum short matching with her black and white Jordan sneakers. Her make up made her look like an evil ghost.

On seeing her weird looking face, I couldn’t help it but giggle covering my mouth with my hand. I think that made her more annoyed.

“Benny or whatever your name is called. You better work with your brain today. You’re giving others hard time OK?” she said folding her arms.

“Yes that’s true. Her moves were so annoying and bad. If you find this hard, why don’t you quit already? No one is forcing you here” another girl said.

“That’s it. It’s not compulsory you must be a dancer. Stop suffocating us horrible moves” another one said.

“Oh my God! Is this what Jenny go through everyday? How could she take all this insult from these mean girls.? Well you guys are always like this. You don’t want anyone better than you” I thought to myself.

I stood up and faced them.

“You, you and you” I said pointing to them one after the other.

The remaining girls around us, stopped all they were doing and faced me. By now all attentions were on me. But why? They didn’t do this when the girls were insulting me but when I spoke, they all were staring at me. I ignored them and continued.

“You” I said pointing to the weird looking girl.

“Did you forget to check your mirror before coming to practice? You have to take care of your horrible looking face before complaining about others mistakes” I said staring at her.

“You guys should find something better to discuss. Stop wasting your time gossiping about innocent people. And mind you, it’s Jenny not Benny ok” I added looking at the remaining girls.

They all were surprised by this.

“Has she lost her mind? What has gotten over her? Are you sure she’s Jenny?” I heard some girls murmuring.

“Wow. You became so bold overnight. I can’t believe people could change easily. We’ll see the horrible person here after the upcoming performance.” she said smiling.

Just then, a lady came in. She wore a pink leggings and a black top which looks like a tube. Covering only the chest showing her flat tummy.

“I’ve seen her before. Oh she’s the pretty model. Mr. Handsome's crush” I thought to myself staring at her.

“Girls! Let’s start” she said moving to the front.

The three girls gave me a bad look before leaving. We all formed a three row and four column. Making twelve In number.

“Let’s see what you were taught yesterday” she said.

“What should I do? I don’t know what they were taught yesterday. How should I go about it?” I thought to myself feeling unease.

She played the music and they started. I was just following what they were doing but it was not matching.

The lady walks to me smiling.

“Are you sure you practiced with them?” she asked looking at me. I nodded my head in respond and continue. The weird looking girl smiled and purposely pushed me with her shoulder. I twisted my ankle and fell.

“Ouch!” I screamed out holding my ankle.

As I fell to the ground, everyone stopped the dance and were staring at me. The lady bent down beside me holding my hand.

"Are you OK? You should have be more careful” she said looking worried.

When she said that, a memory flashed to my head again.

**************Flash back***********
We were in practice room dancing to a song, suddenly I twisted my ankle and fell to the ground. The girl I was sitting with the other day, quickly bent down beside me holding my hand.

”Stella are you OK? You should have be more careful” she said having the same look as this present lady only the hair style was different.

“Stella! Debbie! Are you guys OK?” a guy’s voice said from behind.

“Am OK. I think I overdid it” I said smiling at her.

“Are you sure it’s fine?” She said and helped me up also smiling.

******************Back to reality***************
As she finished the statement, her face was clear to me as she was staring at me with those same look as then. I was so shocked by the memory I just remembered. I was staring at her confusingly.

“Debbie?” that was all I could pronounce out.

“If she’s really the Debbie in my memory, she might know the reason behind my death. Since she was my best friend then. She was staring at me confusingly.

EPISODE 13

John’s POV
I sat in the living room expecting the ghost girl, but she was no where to be found. After waiting for some minutes, I went to my room to sleep.

The following day...
Till I arrived at work, I couldn’t found her anywhere near my house. When I got to the company, I became more worried about her.

“Could something bad had happen to her?” I thought to myself.

As I was still thinking about her, a girl came to me smiling. She was putting on a black T-shirt which has blue stripes on it and a Jean pant trouser. She braided her hair into two tying the end with colorful bonds. She got to me and was smiling.

“Good morning Mr. Handsome” she said smiling.

“Mr. Handsome?” I said looking at her. That sounds familiar.

“Sorry I didn’t show up yesterday. Something funny came up” she said.

“Wait. Don’t tell me you…” I stopped looking at her. She moved closer to my ear.

“It’s me Stella. I possessed this pretty girl’s body” she said in a whisper.

EPISODE 14

John’s POV
I was working on some files in my office. Someone knocked on the door and I responded the person should come in. I lifted my head to see the person, to my surprise it was Cassandra. The outfit she put on was so hot on her. A mini gown which fitted her body revealing those sexy curves. The chest was half covered. Her b---bs were revealing at the top.

Immediately she got in, my eyes were glued on her body as she walks towards my desk. I promise myself not to be a player anymore but seeing her in this tempting situation can’t let me stop. I must have her too. Even if it’ll last two days, I have to date her.

She got to my desk and placed the files on it.

“Good morning sir. How was your night?” she greeted as she dropped it.

“Oh. It was fine and yours?” I replied smiling.

“You never ask of what I have to tell you.” she said looking at me.

“Sorry dear. I’ll like to know” I replied smiling.

She moved closer to where I was sitting and placed her hand on my shoulder smiling seductively.
*************************************

Stella’s POV
As I called her name, everyone were silent looking at me.

“Are you OK?” she asked trying to help me up. I manage to stand up myself.

“You can take 5minutes break for now OK” she said looking at me.

“OK. Thanks” I said. I left the queue and sat somewhere looking at them from where I sat.

I was staring at Debbie as she spoke to them. When they were about starting, she looked back at me with an unknown expression then concentrated back to the girls.

After practice, she came to where I was sitting and sat beside me.

“Is your leg OK?” she asked looking at me.

“Yes. Thanks for your concern” I replied smiling.

She sighed and was quiet for a while.

“Well, that happens once in a while.” she said.

“Dont hurt those pretty legs again. You need to be careful OK.” she said smiling.

“Oh. Really? Am sorry for being rude back there. I mean the way I called you” I said.

“That’s nothing. You don’t need to. But the way you called me reminds me of someone” she said smiling.

I looked at her face and nodded my head.

“Is that it? Saying it with this look on your face, I could tell that friend is far away from you or you guys lost contact” I said looking at her.

She was silent for some seconds before replying me.

“She’s dead” she said not looking at me. She has this painful expression on her face.

“Am sorry” I said feeling bad.

“It’s OK.” she said smiling.

“She was my best friend when she was alive. Although I never believed she’s dead. But all evidence said she’s dead. It was so sad and painful” she said looking sad.

I was so confused by her words. She said she can’t believe she’s dead, but why did she say that?”

I thought to myself staring at her.

“Why did you say that? Why don’t you believe she’s dead?” I asked looking curious.

She faced me with this pitiful look on her face.

“Because her body was not found”she said looking at me.
*************************************

John’s POV
Cassandra was beside me. She asked of my phone and I started searching for it. It was then I remembered I left it in my car.

“Am sorry. I need to get it from my car” I said.

“Why don’t you give me yours instead. I’ll save it to my phone later” I said bringing out a pen. I stretched it out to her but she pushed my hand down gentle.

“I want to type it on your phone. Go and get it” she said smiling.

“Ok. If you wish to. Let me get it I won’t be late” I said and stood up from the seat.

“I’ll be right back” I said and walked towards the door.

Few minutes later, I got my phone and was going back to office. I was smiling to myself as I walked towards my office. When I got to the door, I looked through the window And I noticed Cassandra was searching through my drawer. She searched the desk and some files on it. The look on her face showed she was looking for something. When I saw this, my expression changed. I wonder what she’s up to. Why’s she fumbling through my stuffs?” I thought to myself looking annoyed.

I opened the door and she quickly went back to her standing position acting as if nothing just happened.

“You’re here already” she said smiling.

I walked to my desk and arranged those files to how I kept them. She tried to touch me but I stopped her.

“Were you able to find what you were looking for?” I asked staring at her.

She was shocked to hear that from me. Her expression changed.

“What do you mean?” she asked having this innocent look.

“Who sent you?” I asked looking straight into her eyes.
*************************************************

Stephen’s POV
When Cassandra told me everything on how John caught her, I landed a heavy slap on her face which made her staggered back holding the desk behind her.

“How can you be so careless? Didn’t I warned you to be careful” I said looking at her angrily.

“I won’t forgive you this time. Be prepared to see the worst” I said looking at her.

She looked up at me begging me seriously for forgiveness.

“Please spare me. I promise to do whatever you want. Please just give me one more chance. It won’t…”

I raised my hand to slap her again but I hanged it in the air looking at her. I brought it down gently still boiling in anger.

“One more chance. One more chance. Am tired of that statement. Until when will I give you those chances?” I asked looking more angry.

She went down on her kneel with tears on her face.

“If I fail this time around. You can kill me. I will bet with my life this time.” she said looking at me.

I smiled nodding my head.

“Good. If you fail to gain his trust back and fulfill your mission, I will rip out your heart and throw your dead body in the cold river for fishes to feast on” I said looking at her in anger.

THE LOST GHOST

EPISODE 15
Stella’s POV
When she said that, I was so confused.

“Do you mean her body was not found till now. So if that’s it, why did you guys concluded she’s dead and not missing?” I asked her looking more confused.

She looked at me smiling.

"Why are you so interested in this. So you mean you never read the news about Suzy Mick death?” she asked looking at me.

“Am sorry for asking too much. But I just wish to know that one reason you guys don’t believe she’s dead” I said.

“Only her bag and belongings could be seen by the sea shore. Her jacket was found with blood over it. But her own body was not found. They searched the sea and everywhere but she was not found. So they concluded the fishes ate up her body already. But I never believed any of it. She’s my close friend, she never told me she’s going to the place they found all those stuffs. She told me she’s meeting with someone. But I just hope he isn’t the one behind it. I must find out about everything. I must see her body with my eyes before I can believe she’s truly dead. I won’t forgive him if he really did that to my friend.” she said looking hurt and sad.

“So sorry for that. But you were saying “him” sorry to ask but, do you suspect someone?” I asked her.

She looked at me with a smile.

"Are you interrogating me right now? Maybe you should be a prosecutor instead of a dancer” she said looking at me.

“Sorry for that. I just felt bad about the incident. I wish to know more of it” I replied.

“We’ll talk about that later. I need to go for now. Someone is waiting for me.” she said standing up from my side. I also stood up looking at her.

”OK. Thanks for today.” I said smiling.

“You have to threat that leg OK” she said smiling.

“Yes ma’am”I replied.
*************************************

John’s POV
I sat in my office thinking about the thing Cassandra did.

“What’s she looking for? Why is she messing up with my stuffs?” I asked myself.

I hated it when someone touch my stuffs without my knowledge. I think she has something she’s trying to get from my office. But what’s that?. The sound of the door made me snapped out of my thoughts. I looked at the door and saw Stella. She came to my desk and sat on the seat opposite to me.

“Mr. Handsome I have something to say” she said looking at me.

I sighed placing my hand on my forehead.

“Will you please stop calling me that name. My name is John not Mr. Handsome” I corrected looking at her.

“OK. Mr. John, I just heard about something. It’s about my death” she said.

“Really? What’s it about? Who did you hear that from?” I asked looking at her.

“Debbie. Debbie told me about everything” she replied.

“Debbie?”I asked looking surprised. I wonder how Debbie know about her death.

“Yes. I had a memory of how she and I were close. Debbie was my closest friend. I just find that out today. She knows everything about me. She told me things I never know about my death today. She said my body was not found so there’s possibility am not dead but that’s so confusing to me. I mean am a ghost already” she said.

“Your body was not found?” I asked again.

“Yes. And she said something about Suzy Mick. Do you know the person named Suzy Mick?” she asked looking at me.

I wonder why she brought that up.

“Yes I know about that late celebrity. she died three years ago.” I replied looking at her.

I meet with her once that was when I came to the company to meet my mom. I bumped into her that day. Even though I was at fault then, she apologized to me instead. I was so surprised by that. I also apologized to her immediately. It was then I developed interest in her. When I found out she died, it was so painful to me. Many of her fans were really heartbroken.

“She’s a good and nice person. Her death was so hurtful to me” I said to her.

Then I actually had feelings for her the first time I bumped into her. That was love at first sight. When we apologized to each other and she left, I saw a gold wrist chain. and she left, I saw a gold wrist chain on the floor. I think that dropped from her. I picked it up and tried to look for her but she was gone. On my way to office, I saw a poster placed on the wall it was her picture. She dressed like a pop star she looks so pretty while she smiles in the poster. A name was written at the right top corner. ‘Suzy mick’ I repeated the name smiling to myself. When I got back home, I went through the internet and started browsing through her biography and all details about her. It was then I know she’s a popular celebrity. I kept the wrist chain in a box and put it in my drawer wishing I could meet her again someday and return that to her.

I visited my dad’s company times without numbers just hoping we could meet again. After three months, I heard the popular celebrity is dead. The news said she went to beach but was missing for two days. They found her belonging by the seashore and her body was eaten up by the sea animals. It was so painful to me.

The second day was when my mom’s body was found by the same seashore. I had two painful feeling about my mum’s death and about her death.

When Stella mentioned her name now, it reminds my of that painful memory.

“Why did you ask about her?” I asked looking at her.

She was not saying anything for a while.

“Why are you silent?” I asked her.

“Suzy Mick was Debbie’s best friend. If I have those memories am having now about Debbie and I, that means am the Suzy Mick” she said staring at me.

That gave me a great shock.

I remembered the day I first saw her as a ghost. She looks so familiar to me but I couldn’t recall her face then. But now that she just said this, her image formed in my head.

"You’re are Suzy Mick!” I said looking at her.

I couldn’t believe this is happening. She’s really the girl I met back then. What a coincident” I thought to myself.

She was staring at me wondering why am acting that way.
