****
An indebateable maxim has been laid down for the race of mankind even before the time of the lord on earth. An undisputed and endowed scholar and King once said that and I quote

" I have searched lo and yonder , far and beyond and back to he rendezvous point . I have acquired all the pleasures of the world, I have tasted every single thing on earth. But its like chasing the wind , And anything worth chasing is worth winning.. Alas I come however at this juncture to realise the bitter truth " Its all vanity upon vanity....."







Prologue





Efua

The door creaked open and I adjusted my coverlet to protect what was left of me as pride in a woman. His head popped in like he was scared to enter. I just couldn't understand it, just the other night Nosa had been very kind to me and treating me so special that I thought the spirit of the lord had finally arrested him... Oh God I should have seen the signs . His actions were to pure for a repentant sinner-- and now he sent Uyi to come and clean up his dirty work... After he had defiled the temple of the lord.



" Efua" Uyi said under his breathe as he pushed the door open to gain entry.


He sat comfortably beside me on the bed which was on the floor. His mouth tried to say something . He was just about to let loose the canyon which begged to break free when I cut in with a croaked voice . I had been shedding pools of tears , both hot and cold.

" It was him-- I knw--- I know he did it. He can't deny the fact that he had wanted to do it for a very long time now. " I said as my eyes trickled of hot tears and my heart beat became even painful and voluntary .


I hated the both of them that moment and I wanted nothing to do with the two monsters anymore. All my preachings and prayers were obviously falling on polished stones set up in the sun to mock the goodness of every just effort to perfection.



He tried to touch me and I jerked . " Don't touch me , Uyi please, don't touch me"


" But Efua , you cant be so sure that he was the one--- I mean he threw you a party yesterday . Nosa has said he didn't do it, let's just calm down and find a solution to this whole thing..I am so sure the door was left open and we had forgot to lock it last night, so its possible that.."


" That door has been left unbarred ocassionally and no one - No one Uyi, had entered the house on those nights . Why did it have to be that on my birthday of all nights, a stranger from nowhere comes in and rapes me . Rapes me after I had been drugged by God knows who--- I don't buy it, I won't buy it Uyi. Nosa did it."


I tried to hide the pain in my voice and the guilt I felt for sinning against the lord. My virginity was taken away ruthlessly from me by a man I thought I could call a brother. We were from the same ethnic division and he broke the tie of trust in ethnicity and tribalism.


* Oh God* Where are you ? I've been defiled , lord have mercy * I weeped bitterly and flung the pillow at the wall opposite as I kicked hard at the shoes which Nosa had bought for me the previous night. Uyi dodged his head and feet simultaneously . In the dilemma, he held my arms ..


" calm down , calm down . Its not the end of the world , Efua take it easy. "


I hit my arms hard on the sheets which covered my laps and abdomen. I wanted to just end my life at that moment because the thought about my parents finding out was bitter enough to poison me slowly. What will my father's congregation say? A pastor's daughter involved in immorality? What was he preaching everyday ?
I couldn't bear the thought. Coming over to Umahia was a mistake I will forever live to regret . Why had I trusted the wolf in sheep's clothing called Nosa?



" I don't know what to say right now" Uyi blurted out. " I am lost of words, but I'm sure you will be fine , let's put our heads together now and solve this problem."


Did he just say problem? I was in poo and his friend had orchestrated the sound of the tune.He must be joking... I looked up into the ceiling and watched as my world gradually fell apart.








Iziegbe




I nearly burst into laughter when he said the words that was the most stupid thing I had ever heard. I looked at Kechi who was trying to hold back her laughter as it was begging to come forth .


" Seriously ? Ade are you ----


" Lieutenant . Lt Ade.." He corrected me and smiled sheepishly.


His military regalia was impressive and his mustache was finely shaved and the massive structured biceps he had was indeed alluring but his character was the most disgusting thing any girl would wish for. I tried to be calm and not laugh as he waited for me to reply .



" Sorry Lt. Ade, I ve told you before that I'm not interested in your friendship nah.. Why do you want to frustrate my life in this Benin City ? I made it clear to you that currently am not in the pistion to be intimate with anyone. I have to study hard and...."


" Baby - I feel something very strong for you . I'm willing to kill for you. As a soldier man, there is no competition in this, I will take it fast. I can't wait anymore ."


I laughed at the way he said it with a very funny voice.

Kechi had heard enough.


" Lieutenant sir, " She cleared her throat.

" Yes Nkechi , what is it?

" Sir I think , you should give her some time . Love is not a military drill, at least for someone like Izzy.."


He snared and took off his eye glasses revealing his sun darken face and white eyes. He flexed his muscles and tried to touch me on the shoulder.


I moved back a little and clutched my hand bag which was about to fall. People stared at us and murmured things I was sure were directed towards me .


" You are mine Izzy." He said " No man or woman can come in between and I am very confident to say as for the time , I will give you but don't forget I have waited patiently. its starting to overflow and I have endured that little boy who disturbs you-- that puny is contesting on this matter with me over your love."



Dani tried to stop him once but for my sake he got beat up yesterday and I suspected this monster of a person called Ade to be the culprit.



He was high or something.. He was speaking the English like a racial he- goat. He misused the language and it ached in my ear. . I regretted the first time he ever talked to me, he was so kind and gentle now he turned into a beast. A beast I wasn't ready to become its beauty no matter what .


" Ade , I've told you its not by force. I'm not doing nah... What is it ? Did I come to this world because of you.?


" The last time we met you said you will think about it . Now you are saying " its not by force." You must do it. I'm the chief lieutenant in my platoon command, and I give you a command that you must do it."


" Chief lieutenant my foot" I hissed and drew Kechi along as we made for the school's main gate. He was speechless and awestruck or maybe he was really stupid because he started calling my name like a fool and started trailing us.


" Iziegbe, Izzy .. You walked out on me. I'm a five star general o. I can confiscate your entire household with a snap of my finger..All these things you are doing is shakara, I will rebrand your life with my military influence"


I stopped and turned round , Kechi tried to draw me back . I broke free and went towards him . His arms opened wide as he expected me to hug him or something . He got the shock of his life when I gave him a hot slap on the cheek . ...






Chapter one.



Efua



I could hear Papa's voice as he talked about my journey. I prepared myself and got dressed in my NYSC karky uniform. I was rather slow and relished the moment, it was the best day of my life as I was traveling to the East for the first time.




" What is she still doing inside ? I can't believe she is still getting ready when she should have left by now. " Papa's voice echoed through the airways.


" My dear, maybe she is almost through, you know she can't forget anything and she has to take evrthing to her service area " Mama 's voice advocated for me.

" Did you say everything? What she will be needing is just her clothes and her Bible"


" My dear---" mama was cut short when I came outside , fully dressed and ready to go. A traveling bag in one hand and hand bag in the other .


Papa started" Since morning you have been preparing for this journey and you know how bad that road is...that Benin to Onitsha express road and not to talk of the one from Owerri through Asaba"


I smiled . " Papa I'll be fine. The lord will protect me from harm "


"We pray so, but my daughter don't forget where you are from and in every thing you do ,always put the lord first...Pray every morning and evry--"


I knew the drill and I couldn't allow him to repeat it again . " I'll pray without ceasing .I promise you father."





When we had finished sharing the grace of The lord. I picked up my bag and was about to leave when Izzy flung the gate open.. She was indeed happy .
She rushed and hugged me but I could tell that she was now sad to let me go.


" Sister , " She began" I will miss you o" Her eyes sharpened as tears almost broke free.

" don't worry ' I said.

" I will miss you like kilode"

I laughed and mama joined me too. We all hugged and I suddenly felt like I wouldn't see my family again.

" I will be fine. You guys should just pray for me and nothing else."



They saw me off to the bus stop and I boarded the one going my direction. I was in the bus and travelling to an unknown destination. I hoped in the lord. I was going to win souls for him.
I opened my hand bag to take out something when I discovered that my cell phone was not with me. Where was it? I remembered... Oh no!





Iziegbe




I went straight home from Uncle Barry's and got my travelling bag ready. I called Kechi and told her I was about to leave for the hostel and she shocked me by saying she was already there.


" You are joking right?

" No I left since Thursday . " She said.


I was confused . I knew for one thing lectures were scheduled to start for staylites a week after the fresher's had began. So what was she doing there , four days to resumption..


" well anyways " I said, " Hope you brought food items, because I'm not ready to be your mother on campus"
She laughed into the phone and her voice echoed in my ear.

" Don't worry, I've got your back this semester " She said.

She had better be, because feeding her was a job that a single parent couldn't comfortably do, given her appetite and hunger for food.

I was almost through with my packing when Mother pushed the door open. She stood there and smiled but benearth the smile, I knew she wanted to cry. She would be all left alone while I'm gone back to school.

It wasn't easy for her and I knew just that because Efua' s parent, my Uncle and Aunt were practically training me in school. Mother was my heart's throbe and I would do anything just for her. Get a good degree and marry a rich man or better still be financially independent.

Even though we hadnt much and the money Uncle Barry gave us was too meager to even sustain me, talk more of mother,, we somehow seemed to manage.

"Are you forgetting anything? She asked.

I looked back into the room and shook my head..

" No'

"Okay good, did your uncle give you anything?

" Yes he did--- he gave me 10 thousand naira and promised to send more."

I lied , he had given me just five thousand and Efua added it a sum of three thousand. I needn't mother worrying for me..

" Okay here is two thousand -" She stretched her hand..
I couldn't take it. I covered her palms and told her to keep it for her self.

"How will you cope nah?


" The lord will provide"....

Chapter 11


* The real temptation begins*






Damilola



I watched as Kemi paced the room in anxiety. She turned round and moved to the door, came back , sat down and got up only to repeat the sequence.


" What's it? I asked .


The terror I had experienced in recent weeks had left me shaky and all fussed up. Dr. Johnson had been giving me home treatment. He was also taking me on therapy .


Dr Johnson was named the doctor of the year after he performed an open brain surgery on a woman who had a set of twins in her. The lady was mentally ill. The medical staff hadnt known before the operations that she was pregnant. They had taken result scans and did xrays but somehow it seemed the results were tampered with, like someone wanted the woman to die in the theatre. It was when they stated the operation and Dr Johnson took charge of the situation that they discovered she had two pronounced foetus growing inside of her. Her blood pressure had spiked and the cardio team discovered blood circulation was random and rapid. Everyone wanted to stop the operations but Johnson proceeded and after a tasking job of saving both mother and unborn children, he got an accolade for his brilliant and gifted craftsmanship.



" I don't trust that doctor " Kemi said.


" Why? I asked.



" He seems to be up to something.." She crossed her arms together .

" But he is my personal doc--" I was about to say when she cut me short.


" Even that Gabriel..He is too sweet to be true. Trust me Dami he is planning something big.. And now you have given him full access to all your properties ."


I shook my head and pinched my nose , the last thing I wanted was someone reminding me how much I was willing to do to get love from Gabe. He had requested that he wanted full control over my wealth. I gave him everthing including my heart. On a lighter note, it would have been difficult for me to do but somehow it was as if my eyes were closed when I did so. I had a plan.. It was far from failing...



" The decision is final" I said to Kemi who was now getting on my nerves and ranting endlessly.

" You can't be serious -- He is a golddi---"

" Don't ever call him that, " I shouted at the top of my voice .


" Why? Because he promised to love you in return if he gets access to your wealth? I'm laughing so hard right now Dami-- honestly"


" Its not what you think' I replied .

Indeed it wasn't, I did what I had to do. There was no reason why I couldn't give him my bank accounts details , my house occupancy details and every other thing. I knew what I wanted in return and a little sacrifice won't hurt.


" Don't tell me you have settled for that cheap love he is willing to offer " kemi blurted out again.


" He will love me soon,everything is falling in --- "


I paused when I saw Tayo's ghost. He was not dead yet but in a coma ,why was he disturbing me? He was shaking his head as if to say " your own is strong o" . His eyes were fixed at me..Blood soaked his left shoulder. I got confused , I wanted to scream.... But it was just an illusion and the wind blew the cotton briskly revealing the lampstand behind it that had the shape of a human head. I got up and removed it from the table ,near the window. It was a bit dark outside. Kemi didn't notice what just happened .



" Are you sure? You are still hallucinating my dear, wake up--- That reminds me : are you still seeing that man , what's his name again ?


" Tayo?

" Is that his name? Well whatever " She said " But I'm suspecting you Lola because I think you had something to do with his predicaments"


" Why would I want him dead? Tayo is useless to me. I won't stoop so low to committing murder...abeg talk better thing"


" You are such a terrible liar you know, Dami I am your friend and I can smell your lies like they are bread crumps garnished with sweet honey. And I didn't say anything about death..."


" What's that supposed to me--mean " I said while I sat on an arm length stuffed chair. I felt a sharp pain on my arms, where Johnson had been giving me shots of sleep inducers.


" Now that's what I'm saying" Kemi said " You are too cunning and evil, but as your friend -- as your sister : I will advice you to stop this game ''



" He gave me conditions "


" Who ? What conditions?



I told her how Gabriel had placed a contract on the table for me at the office of Dr. Johnson . kemi was absent then, she had gone to the reception to fill in details of my scheduled home treatments. Dr Johnson had given her the list of things she was to fill in the form.



" So .. He played his cards on you...mhen this guy is smart."


" His motives were clear , He would take care of me and Funmi ,if only I had him calling the shots. He was to pay my bills and run my activities in an anonymous way "


Kemi was shocked , she shrugged and chuckled a smile. ..
" And you agreed to that? Even the crook of a doctor was there too?


I shook my head.


" You' re either foolish or this mental situation has made you blind. For God's sake he is taking advantage of you .He is just going to use your money and take care of his family and when he is done he will abandon you.."


" Why are you quick to judge me? come over here lemme show you something.. You too have skeletons in your cupboard... I'm not a fool and Nobody is a saint."



I brought out my iPad from my hand bag. I unlocked it and opened a video of Gabriel and Kate arguing in their parlour. ..I had a hidden camera placed in his house . It was on real time and they were having dinner at the moment... Obviously Kemi had underestimated me, but then she was shocked and speechless at what she saw...



" You are the devil herself .." She acknowledged .


" Am not ,I'm only protecting my investment" I said smiling endlessly. ...
