Akinwale14:
No mind her,u really try i love ur story so which day we go see next episode?

Make we project Tuesday na..

Sorry for the missed updates.

Honestly I'm apologising . it would be so bad if I don't drop a comment .

And I see love blooming even in times of trouble ,between Rob and Lori.

Nnnena I know you want to show us what is happening in the scene but sometimes there is a little confusion in my head when am reading some parts .

like this " Saying nothing, she puts her hand in his and allows him to pull her to her feet and slowly, gently, carefully into his arms. He places his arms around her narrow back, one near her shoulder, one just above her waist."

I understand the events are in the present; but most of these lines are actions and as such should come clean as single sentences.

okay lemme try something for a change.

" She said nothing and puts her hand in his "

* Notice the "She said nothing " already happened as a single deliberate act but it's too short to make sense so we added "and ".

" She said nothing and puts her hand in his . She allows him to pull her up ( remove the feet and also the and ) slowly ; gently but carefully into his arms. He places his arms round her narrow back. One near her left shoulder ( show precision ) and the other arm a little above her waistline "


I'm just being a good reader and taking observations. But nevertheless , keep up the good work and keep writing.

You are talented and I love your use of English.

Wow !
Rachealfst I'm lost of words . Every time I come here all i can say is " wow wow wow "


But come o. These ladies loving this stroy like kilode. It reminds me of " 50 shades of grey "

Christain Grey but in this case - Admiral A .
Anastasia Steele *** - ANIKE

So loving it like #food

' The party was over and you passed out on the cushion "


" Yes I remember " I chipped in " then what happened?

Uyi said he waited until the living room became deserted. He had escorted all his friends out. One of them , he said , was too drunk to ride home and had requested to stay until the break of dawn.

" I refused " Uyi stated " he would have foiled my plan. I couldn't take any chances. I came back into the common room and saw Nosa sleeping on the cushion next to you. I woke him up and ushered him to his room . Then I carried you into your roo-"

I signalled him to stop. " Wait. . You mean , You woke Nosa up and asked him to go to bed . And how come he fell asleep so easily "

" the first bottle of wine from which he gave you . The one he had in his arms that night when I left you both " Uyi said .


"Yes what about it ?

Uyi shook his head sideways in regrets . silence became his backbone.


Daemon slapped him hard " Oga talk something jare !

Uyi coughed out so loud that I thought he would spill his throat out.

I told Daemon to stop hitting him . I stood up and walked to Uyi. I squated and gazed into his eyes.

" You put something in it. "

Uyi nodded.

He said he had put a sleep inducing hard- drug in it , He mentioned the name of the drug and it started with the letter ' A ' . The effect was too much for ladies . He said it took about an hour to kick in, so he had to time it perfectly as he slipped it in when Nosa dropped the bottle on a table.



" Having succeeded ,I jacked you up , I put my arm round your torso. When I got to your room , I placed you safely on the bed " He paused then continued with a saddening tone " Efua I'm really sorry . I tried to hold back . Even there in the room, I hesitated but you were too beautiful to overlook . You slept like a princess . Its because I loved you that's why I -"


I stood up , and looked away. I paced the room. I noticed Daemon waiting for my orders. His boys were agile and ready. I returned to Uyi .


My face had new companions in form of fresh tears which broke free from my eyelids. I bit my lips in regret . I raised the knife that had been in my arms ever since.

Uyi ' s eyes glowed when he said" what---What are you doing? "

I was silent . I hated him so much and wanted nothing to do with him anymore . Ending his life would just be perfect, but again it would not erase the pain he had inflicted on me. Letting him live in misery without a limb would be just perfect or better : I would rip off his manhood.

I surged toward him and said " Do you know how much pain you have caused me? You have no idea what I have done just to get this confession. And your only explanation is that you loved me ? Oh my. I mean , how could you do this? What if- What if I had gotten-- "


" I'm really sorry-"


" Quiet -" I cut in as tears still ran down my cheeks. My heart ached with so much pain . " right now , I want nothing else but to see you die. It is as simple as that . "


He begged for his life. "Please-"


I stroked the knife on his left arm and cut the rope that held him. The entire binding came slippping to the floor like a bevy of flowers.

In shock, Uyi reopened his eyes to see his arms free.


" But Death is too good for you " I continued " You do not deserve it '


I wiped the pool of tears off my eyes. I dropped the knife and it clanked unto the cold tiles on the floor. I grabbed my bag and made for the front entrance .

Daemon called me back. " Madam what will happen if he reports to the police about his assault and torture ?

I replied that he won't dare .

"Leave him." I continued " His conscience will judge him for the rest of his life " I turned to Uyi " I regret ever trusting you. I never want to see you again . If I do- trust me , I will not think twice to put a bullet through your chest "


One of Daemon's boys said to Uyi as he picked up the knife on the floor. " Stop rape ... Real men don't rape . Talk to girls and tell them whats on your mind . They are not monsters . If you still can't, Oga pay olosho for sex"


Daemon punched him for the last time before we left. " You get that abi? make you dae apply wisdom and wida your eyes . shebi you grab?


Uyi nodded in pains . He understood perfectly.


*******


Outside the estate , I paid Daemon and his boys the money we had agreed on . They left with promises of watching over my back. I told them there was still God. I suddenly realised I had forgotten about Him and guilt became my shadow.

I entered a cab to Umuahia suburb and stopped at the motor park. It was 3 pm already and I wanted to be in Benin before nightfall.

I called Nosa and told him I was leaving Umuahia for good .

" Buy two tickets? I asked after he requested I do so.

" Okay . But why ?

He did not give me a straightforward answer.



" Okay . I'm waiting for it " I said and hung up the line .

I paid for two seats . I sat down on a plastic bench at a corner in the reception and cried out my heart. My world had fallen into tiny pieces and I had no idea from where to start picking.


****

Alone and dejected , I cried bitterly with intervals until an arm touched me from behind.

I swirled to see who it was. A spark of joy covered my face as I jumped up and threw my arms round his neck.


" I could not do it "I began " Nosa , I tried but-"

Nosa told me to stop crying. He said it was over now. That I had done the right thing and that he was proud of me.


He sat me down on the plastic bench . He brought out two files from his travelling bag.

" Why two ? I asked

" It's for us - my service rights and yours " he said smiling.


I blushed and wiped off my tears. He was my hero .
He knew about Uyi's interrogation but I had told him to back out of it. I did not want so much drama .

I checked the file he gave me . It contained all my documents and certificates.

" But I lied to my parents about everything " I said.


" Don't worry "


Nosa told me that he would help me explain to them. He assured that things would work out fine. He said the truth would only set me free.

I smiled.

" I promise I will stay with you forever . " Nosa continued as he smiled " From now on, your problems are mine , Your pain is also mine, your church will be my church, your joy is my joy and your family will also be my family . My home , Efua, will be your home"

He came closer and I shut my eyelids. I opened them again , carefully when he planted a soft kiss on my lips .


It was my first time kissing, and I blushed all over . The feeling was overwhelming and breath ceasing that it came from the man I truly loved.


" I love you Efua "


" I love you too "

" Come on now " He said as he stood up " Forever is a long time , let's begin our first journey together "


We grabbed our bags and boarded the luxurious " Chisco bus". We cuddled into a corner and I rested my head on his right shoulder .



I was free , free from every chains that held me in doubt and discomfort , free from deceit and lies . Free from myself and ready to explore .
A smile sliced cross my face as I shut my eyelids briskly . Peace entered my heart while my mind flew to a place where it was just the two of us , Nosa and I , alone on a beach, under the warm bright sunlight.

chapter 14


Izzy


The Saturday morning did not begin so well for Kechi and I . I poured out her clothes unto floor and returned the buckets into the bathroom.
" Go and buy your own . . Nothing in this house belongs to you. Just stay clear off anything that is mine."


" Izzy why are you doing this ? I don't understand --"

" You will soon understand when I return your rent and throw you out of here "

I pushed her out the bathroom and locked the door with a padlock . I went to my bed and lay on it, I secured the keys to the kitchen and bathroom inside my blouse .

Kechi stared at me .

"What? why are you looking at me like that? Abeg don't give me those Ibo winch eyes . Biko "

She had already had enough and she couldn't keep quiet anymore when she shot back at me.

" Okay. fine " She said " Accuse me of being a boyfriend snatcher . Accuse me of being a deceiver, a liar and a cheap attention seeker "

I looked at her then said

" You called yourself those names. I didn't.

Kechi told me that it was not her fault that Dani decided to keep things from me. She said that it was not her fault that I couldn't close my legs for Ade. She even said it's not her fault that my guilt made me think that Amaka was Daniels new girlfriend.

"What do you mean? I asked her as I raised an eyebrow " It's my fault abi ? fool " I said all those is Bini and she didnt understand a single thing.

" You know what? " Kechi barked " I'm tired of all this . Im tired of being your shoulder to cry on when you need comfort, I'm tired of being the one you pick your anger on" She threw a pillow at me" I am tired of letting. you . have. things. while i sit. back . and. be. a . good friend "

I tried to imagine what she meant . I stood up and clapped my hands together " Ehen , oya confess o! confess your sins. Jealousy donn tie wrapper . "


Kechi shook her head . She paced the room .

She Looked at me then said " If you had not been so selfish, you wouldnt had gone for Dani in the first place. I met him before you , I introduced him to you but you went ahead and seduced him, knowing very well that I wanted him."

" You are mad" I yelled out " You hear me, I said you are mad."



I forged ahead toward her.

Thank you for the update

He doing just fine.

*Continues


Efua


The front door flew open and three hefty men walked in. The scarred man was in the front while his boys followed closely behind .

" Daemon " I said to the scar-face and then pointed to Uyi " He is all yours. Do what you know have to "


Scar-face brought out a gun and I moved back to allow him pounce on Uyi.

》》》》》》》


They strapped Uyi to a chair . They bound his arms and feet , tying them in such a manner that he couldn't breathe properly . Daemon jabbed Uyi on his jaws repeatedly. They dilapidated whatever form of courage and stronghold that he had left in him. They made him began for death.

" I don't know anything about that night, please have mercy " Uyi begged whenever they took off the rope used to cover his mouth

His once white vest turned pigment red. The Nysc logo at the divison between his breasts disappeared under the mask of blood clotting.



" You have the strength to withstand torture ehen" One of Daemon's boys uttered.

Daemon laughed and threw a punch to Uyi's right rib when he said "
" leave am , E dae form jaga-ba--an"

" Urhh--fff--uarghh" Uyi groaned out in pain.


After thirty minutes of torture , Uyi was already broken.

I walked up to him . I looked him in the eye , His face was swollen allover . His arms fidgtted when I glazed my knife on his cheeks. It brushed softly on his fore skin and the surface turned red .
I took out a white hanky from my pocket and wiped his face dry. I pulled down his mouth band.

" Efua , How could you do this ? I thought we were ..."

I slipped the rope back on " shhhhh..." I began " I know. We are friends and that is why I am doing this . Only a friend would comfort you when you are in pains . Correct?


He blinked then glanced at Daemon .

" You dae look me ? You wann mae I brush your eye " Daemon said , already clasping Uyi's face before he continued " Idiot. You see fine girl lieh this you wann spoil her pride in broad day light. "


I grinned for a while then frowned almost immediately..

" I will make it stop. " I said to Uyi. " Just tell me what I want to hear. I promise this will stop "

After he came around from Daemon's slap then looked at me in the eye. I took off his mouth band . I shot him a stae of trust. *Only if he knew I feigned it.

He tried to say something. Then he said " I'm sorry. I ca-- I can't "

I stood up from my squatting position. Anger grew untamed in my heart . I left my palms on his face twice.


" How dare you? I said. " You look me in the eye and say ' I'm sorry I can't.' You will tell me what I want to hear. If you could hide your intentions from everyone in the past , you can still let loose that sly tongue of yours or else " I brought my knife in view " I .will. cut .it. off .and .make. sure -"

" I said I'm sorry Efua. which part of it can't you understand? It wasn't my fault "

One of Daemon's boys punched his abdomen at the wake of that statement . He coughed out his lungs.

" Whose fault is it ? I asked .

I realised that there was more to what he was saying . someone had put him up to it. He wasn't operating alone.

" Was it the Rita? I blurted out.

" No ! " He said and shook his head.


Uyi blamed me for everything and wished that I had corrected the wrongs before now, that things wouldn't have gotten so terrible.

"You want the truth right? I'll tell you " He said in a croaked voice " It hurts to say this . I'm so ashamed right now. "

" Why ?


"Because everything I did was because I loved you. Yes i did , but it hurt me before and now to know that you will never be mine. Do you know. how . painful it was , listening to your complaints on how Nosa behaved toward you in the past? You have no idea , do you?

I froze. My mind divided into a thousand pieces but were all in the same thought dimension : I had hurt him by simply confiding in him , how is that possible?

" You made me look like a fool , Efua " He paused as Daemon's boy tried to dash him an elbow.
Leave him to continue please " I said.

Uyi said he felt stupid standing up for me against Nosa occasionally and the height of it would always be a pat on the back.

" And you will just tell me -Thank you " he said.


" So everything you did was as a result - " I cut in 'Okay tell me about that night when I caught you drinking "

He scoffed. He said " I wanted to have my way with you and get over with it. But then when I saw you lying down that night, The love I have for you melted my heart.. I tried but I just bring myself to do it . I froze and I walked out of the room . So -"

" So you went into the living room - I mean the common room to take alcohol and calm your nerves."

" Yes . I never wanted this Efua " He began with sobbing and a red eye" It's not how I wanted it to happen. "

" What do you mean ? This is not how you wanted it to happen?


" When you travelled home . I thought of many ways to make you see me in the light of boyfriend material. I couldn't help it. I was madly in love with you . I. am . still . madly in love with you. I swear and I mean it"

It was all clear now , I had to bail in " So the love drove you to photoshop my pictures into nude ones and paste it - oh God ! "
I could not believe I just called that supreme name, my heart was black with evil.


He looked me in the eye, then he continued."
like i said, when you travelled , I ransacked your room , tearing it up and down in search of nothing in particular, just anything that I could use to prove my love for you. Then I came across your pictures and also your Bible. I flipped the pages and at the middle I saw -"


" My birthday "


" Yea. I did . And I knew it was the perfect time to convince Nosa to make peace with you. I lied to him that it would be perfect to demonstrate his kindness through a party. I also made him see that there was some good in him that he did not want to show. I told him that you believed he could change for good . Everything I did was to push him farther from you but it unfortunately brought him closer " He paused and asked for water.



Daemon said it was not wise . He pointed out that we should allow him suffer . " Madam no give am any water. Oya " He faced Uyi " continue before I Konk your nose " He said after he had brushed Uyi's nose with two fingers.



Uyi said he had expected Nosakhare's attitude to get worse but he was also surprised at the sudden change in behaviour. And it was all because of what he had said to him.

" I knew I'd lost the game when I came home one afternoon. I was outside I overheard your discussion with Nosa. When he offered to -"


" Make me a cup of coffee. skip that part ... "

" I decided I was going to have my way no matter what happens . I made sure the party pushed through even when Nosa wanted to back down from it. I wanted him to fxuck up but it turned out he was more brains than balls. He might be a pompous idiot but he is still a gentleman"

I smiled generously for the first time to that acknowledgment, since the confession began .




" Why did Rita not attend my party? I asked .

Uyi said he threatened her to stay clear off two kilometers near the party. He had told her he would get her arrested if she dared step foot into the vicinity. He said " Nosa was even glad she didn't attend the party. He knew things would go wrong if she had ventured in here"


" OK how did you drug me?

He was silent . He brought down his head in shame. He raised it up again and pools of tears already mixed with dried blood ran down his cheeks.

" I'm sorry. I can't tell you"

A slap from Daemon's left hand, ushered in ia brief moment of silence." You Noh dae get Sense? You can't Ko you fittint ni . You wann mae I blow your brains go Italy?

I told them to leave him , that it was not necessary to hit him again.

I was already heartbroken , my internals ripped apart from each other with a very positive fact that I wanted to do the same act to Uyi's neck and head. My abdomen boiled with hot juice and I found my palms searching blindly for a nearby sofa . I found one and threw my weight into the cushion. Then I threw out the big question.


" How did you -- how- " I stammered as a pool tears already clouded my eyelids " Nar--Narrate the part where you , Where you -- when you-- when you ra- when you did the main act"


" trust me " Uyi said in a weak tone " You don't want to hear it.."


I checked my wrist watch , It was 1 :45 pm.

" Go on " I said as I wiped tears off my eyes" - I'm -- I want to hear every bit of it"







To be continued ASAP
