I was so scared,to say I was more confused was understating the obvious,I didn't really understand how to handle this,but if I was ever going to handle the situation,I had to do it very carefully,I thought to myself,with that thought I walked to the road,stopped a taxi,

Charleston drive,I told the driver without really looking at his face,I settled in the backseat,while he drove off.
I needed to clear my head,to think,to figure out all this,then know the next step to take,
I can't believe Evans is dead,or this could be all a big joke,Rosie arrested?preoccupied with my thought,I walked into an old deserted park that used to once be a hive of fun lovers in the state,but since the government built a new one,it became abandoned only visited by few people,
I sat down at at a far end of a building away from prying eyes,letting my thoughts stray further while waiting for dusk to come,so I can sneak back home,pick whatever I had to,then leave town.

It took forever for dusk to come,it was already 8pm,but I needed to make it a bit late,I decided to trek back home,knowing that could take about a hour or so,I felt tired and hungry,but that wasn't a good time to think of food or anything else than a way out of the mess.for the first time since I got the saddening news of Evans death,I turned my thoughts away from the fact that I'm wanted for his death and found myself weeping for him,

How could he just die like that? Part of me held unto the other thought that kept saying that all these is a just a terrible nightmare I need to wake up from.

I finally got home at about 10pm,everywhere was pitch dark as there was no light,and at that point it dawned on me that word is out already,so people must have left the compound with the police showing up and everything,well it worked for me,cos I didn't want anyone knowing I'm here.

I walked stealthily to my door,slowly retrieved my key,trying hard to make any sound,opened the door,I couldn't see well cos of the darkness,I kicked my feet against something,what could that be?
I needed light,I quickly brought out my phone,switched it on and with the light,I was shocked at what I saw,

The centre table was turned,which explains why I hit my leg,my living room was ransacked,furniture were scattered around,I rushed to the bedroom,my bed was shifted,the pile of books was overturned,the fact that someone or people were here wasn't the issue anymore,but what did they want?
My laptop which was on the table was thrown carelessly on the bed,immediately I sae the laptop,I knew it wasn't a robbery incident,
Earlier Fred said something about the police coming,but he didn't mention that they broke into my apartment,
The realization came flooding all at once,they didn't even break in,i quickly remembered that once i got into Kelvin's place without breaking the locks,
Whoever got in here is not the police and there may be monitoring me,with that knowledge I reached for my backpack,picked my laptop and a few change of clothes,I quickly locked my door and stepped out.

My heartbeat picked up its pace again,I quickly moved without looking back,but as I took the next step,I could feel a shadow behind me,I picked up pace,I felt the shadow moved faster too,

I could feel the heat of my blood,my nerves were about to explode,I started running,what i felt to be a shadow became two men chasing after me,i knew if i ran straight,i might either be shot or caught up with,so i went for the alternative,
I had lived in mason lane for close to two years,so i knew all the short routes.i dashed into one of them leading right out to the two adjoining street and a busy junction,taking the chance of having them confused about which direction i will choose,but i was aiming for where the sound of musical instruments and voices came from,

With one swift turn,i broke into a rowdy church,people were just so engrossed in the dancing that no one noticed my loud panting and sweaty clothes.i could feel the adrenaline rush,my senses were heightened,i managed to get an empty seat,i lowered my self down,just then the pastor spoke into the microphone,

"Hallelujah! The church answered Amen,don't worry people of God,we will have more time to dance,we are here to praise God till dawn"

I captured the word dawn,I looked at the church clock,it was almost 12:00am,I had less than five hours or so to figure out a plan,but for those five hours,I had the church and their all night programme to thank.

What just happened?
Who were those people?
Why would they want to hurt me?all these and more clouded my mind,
But just like magic,something popped up on my mind.i needed to call for help,who will I call?

Elliot...yes Elliot!

I was paralyzed,my mouth went dry,i could feel the blood running through my veins,my eyes popped,my palms went sweaty,while my brain tried to process what i just heard,my legs began shaking,

I held the table to support my feet while i lowered myself to the floor,
Rosie what...,who,errrm,i stretched to find words,but they weren't forth coming,my heartbeat increased,we both couldn't say anything,
I rushed for my phone,turned it on
What are you doing?Rosie held my hands,who do you want to call?
I don't know,i just.....don't do anything stupid right now,she cuts in,the phone was already on,i had three messages,
Call me now!!!
Messages from Fred again,all three said same.Rosie i need make some calls,my neighbour Fred had called,i just need to know what's going on,my voice now shaky,i remembered i didn't have airtime,i rushed into the bedroom,just when i was about changing,my phone rang
It was an unknown number different from the one i saw earlier,i hesitated a bit,then picked with Rosie looking at me anxiously,

Hello,i said my voice shaking
Alice,it's me Fred,i almost didn't recognize hid voice,
Oh! Fred,what's up,what's going on? He cuts in,
At that point,i turned it on loudspeaker,cos I saw Rosie was eager to hear my caller too
Where are you?Fred asked sounding agitated,
I...errm..i am at,Rosie shook her head,signalling no,i quickly understood what she meant,so i lied
I'm not in town,i travelled,my voice almost giving me away,but is there any problem? Just then the call ended,i guess his airtime got finished,
I quickly changed,i got to go Rosie,
Where are you going to?Rosie asked looking all confused and concerned,i will be right back as i grabbed my purse rushing out looking all unkempt,but at that point,nothing really mattered.


I recharged,quickly called Fred,
What's going on Fred?he told me how the police came looking for me early that day,then at about when he placed the first call,some unidentified men came too looking for me,so the neighbours were concerned and they decided they should reach out since i haven't even being around,he asked if there was any problem,i told him no,that I will get back to him,I ended the call and switched off my phone,now my brain was still processing what was going on
But how could Evans be dead?
Why would the police be looking for me,I stepped out of the shop I bought the recharge voucher about to walk back to Rosie's when I saw a police van speeding towards my direction,I stopped,went back into the shop,they drove past me,they headed towards Rosie's compound.
Mt heart started beating again,this time faster,my body quaked as,I moved closer to the compound to have a clear view of what's going on,
I saw three policemen alight from the van,walked straight to Rosie 's apartment,I watched as they talked with Rosie for a while,then I watched as they took my best friend away.

Oh my God!
What's happening!
I now realised at that moment that this war is just beginning...

Episode 3
I checked the time,it's was 12:30pm,
Good morning or afternoon sweetie,Rosie said from the where she sat with a lot of papers on the table,how long have i slept? I murmured,
Hmmm,approximately 16 hours,27 minutes,she replied again with that mischievous smile,
How could i..i didn't complete my question when she added,oh! I put a little something in your juice,i wanted you to relax and forget about your situation.

Rosie!i exclaimed,don't worry,you will be fine, take it from someone whose heart has been broken a lot of times,sleeping pills are a step forward to healing,how are you feeling? she asked again
Actually I'm fine,Shower then she commanded,breakfast or lunch will be ready when you are out

I did as she said,when I came out,I felt better,she had prepared rice,and we ate together.
Hmm,why ain't you at work,I asked as we ate,I called in saying I will breeze in and out to tender what I'm working on,

Rosie,you don't have to babysit me,do what you have to do,and thank you for being there for me,you are a great friend,I said,
You would do same for me or even more,do you really want to talk about it? She asked,
No,I said blinking away the hurt,okay just know I'm here whenever you want to talk about it,Rosie said.
Thank you Rosie.
Ok I gotta run now,I have some paperwork to drop off in the office I will be back soon,just call if you need anything,she said packing up the files and her laptop from the table,closing the door behind her.

Oh my God!where is my phone?I found it on the table,it was turned off,Rosie must have done that,she didn't just want anything disturbing my sleep,I smiled as I think about how far we have come as friends,how much of a strong woman she has become,
Drugging me?
That's epic,I chuckled
I turned my phone on,I saw 7 missed calls and 3 messages,I guessed that's why Rosie turned it off, I checked the time stamp,the calls came in between 9 and 10am,four of those were from my neighbour Fred,the messages were also from him,while the other three were from an unknown number.
I knew Fred had a crush on me,but now wasn't a good time for him to even start,I read the messages,the content were almost the same,
"why ain't you picking your calls"
"where are you?please call"
"call me when you get this"
What's really going on?why would Fred br trying to reach me,can't whatever he has wait until he sees me,I was a little angry,so I hit redial,but I quickly realized I can't call after the warning from the service operator.
Great! I had to wait for Rosie to get back,I didn't just want to go out,whatever it was could wait,I turned my phone off as I tried seeing a movie.

Rosie soon came back,she was about taking off her clothes when her phone rang,
Hello,yes this is Rosie,
I watched as a frown spreaded across her face,
No she isn't,she stammered,I became more focused on her,I didn't know who it was on the other end,but I just had this feeling it was about me,then I noticed what was a frown on her face soon changed to fear as she dropped the call.

What's going on I asked anxiously,I watched her sit down slowly,her face became serious,
She looked at me,Rosie,pls tell me,what's wrong,
You would be honest with me if there's something going on right? Rosie asked,her voice dropping to whispers
Yes I will,I answered all tensed,what is it?
She paused for a while,looking at me with tears forming at the corners of her eyes,
Rosie you are scaring me,who called you and what is this about,I said getting impatient,
Sam,Evans friend just called,he asked if you are here,so I told him no,cos I just didn't think now is a good time for them to show up,since you are still hurt,so I told him you are not here,
So? I asked

Alice...the tears now streaming down her eyes,Sam said Evans was shot dead last night...

I was washing outside a week later when Rosie came smiling
Guess what,she said,I can't,what's going on I asked,
Yesterday Kelvin asked to see,when we met he apologized and promised he will stay away if that's what I really want.
Wow! That's goodnews I suppose,I said trying to compose myself so as not to give anything away,yes it is,but that's not like kelvin,he sounded sincere,you know like he meant it
That's so unusual,Rosie added

Rosie,people change.i tried to sound optimistic,but she gave me a mischievous smile,
What? I asked
I know you had something to do with Kelvin's sudden change,I rushed to defend myself,but she cut in
Whatever is it you did Alice,thank you,I'm grateful,
But I...,trying to sound defensive,she cut in again,I'm just glad he's off my back and you have it now.
I blinked and smiled,yes Rosie I do have your back always.

Rosie and me had gotten so close,she wad the intelligent and straight one,I was the smart and mischievous one,we complemented each other,though she was a law student and I read communication arts,she did most of my assignments,since I wasn't keen on books,I wish I met her earlier,maybe I would have graduated with a good grade the way she did.

We were separated by our national assignments after graduation,but we kept in touch always,until we finally came back,rented an apartment and stayed together,we had so influenced each others' lives that I started reading books,making researches,things that weren't my strong suit,Rosie on the other hand became tough,no more the relationship naive girl I knew,she even got mischievous,but ever kind.I missed her though when she left for law school,I visited her a couple of times there.

She came back and got a job with a prominent law firm,which wasn't surprising,she was too intelligent and impressive.she had to move out from our apartment,cos she needed to be close to work,we took turns visiting on weekends.

I kept every detail of Evans saga from her each time we met,cos I didn't want to bother her and I didn't want her views about me to change as she had always seen me to be strong and tough,in charge of any relationship I had

But at this point,I was hopeless,I just needed to talk to someone,so I dialled Rosie's number,she picked after the third ring,

Hey A! What's up,she sounded happy
I tried to control the tears that already started dripping,thereby making my voice sound low,I could hear her happy voice get serious
What's going on? She fired
I'm coming over,I said ending the call
I got to Rosie's place in less than thirty minutes,when she opened the door,I burst into full tears as she hugged me,

She made me cry on her shoulders,when I eventually pulled out of my cry mood,I said
Its Evans
She said I know,I looked up at her,she gave me a weak smile,
I asked how,she said
Alice,you put up a good act of being tough,but deep down,you are still a woman.
She stood up and poured me a glass of fruit juice,I poured it eagerly down my throat,and in five minutes I'm drowsy,
She said come on,pulling me up my feet to the bedroom,she made me lie on the bed
Before I could make up the next sentence,my eyes got heavy and I could feel my body drifting slowly into dreamland...

Getting into Kelvin's house was easy,but not been seen by the neighbours was the well not so was part,I had to think really fast,if there is one thing I didn't want,it was getting beaten at my own game,that does not happen.

I had less than 4hrs to do what I have to,I waited patiently for the last of his neighbour to leave,which from my routine check for the last week shows that he does later than other two, that is kelvin and a certain banker. though he left eventually,I still had his wife who doesn't work to worry about.

I slipped into Kelvin's side of the flat,scanning the environment,all I could hear was the sound from "housewife's" kitchen,I quickly removed a key from my back pocket,slipped it into the lock,it fit,I turned it twice and
Boom! I watched the door slide open slowly,I entered,
Hmmm!nice place,at least he was good with interior decorations,though it was not so big a place,but he sure knew how to make it look homely.i locked the door from inside,surveying the entire place,just then I heard footsteps approaching,then a voice

Mr Kay! Mr Kay! are you there?
I froze,my heartbeat skipped ten times faster,I kept calm,I could tell it was the "housewife",Kay! She called again,then after looking at the door for a few seconds,she walked back,i exhaled,i have to get out of here real fast,i carefully picked out the two sacks of "snow",tucked them safely into an old carton that once contained a pair of shoes,then i placed the carton back on the wardrobe,then i took out the other stuff,well that was just a shred of red cloth tied round a doll,,then I produced the little knife from my purse,stabbed the doll at where the heart should be,then laid it carefully on the centrepiece.

I was done,I had to get out undetected too,I was so sure "housewife"will want to be watchful,so I watched until I couldn't quite hear a sound from the kitchen,I slipped out,locking the door hurriedly,As I walked out of the compound I thought to myself how the risky every chance I'm taking is,from replicating Kelvin's spare key from Rosie's purse to breaking and entering,which by the way I convinced her to return to Kelvin along with all his belongings in her possession,which was only to avoid messing up my grand plan.offcourse she did.

Those thoughts along brought a wicked smile on my lips as I found my mission sim,fixed it in my phone and made another call,

Hello kelvin,I got a surprise for you,then ended the call,took out the sim again.

I waited for another two hours,before I saw Kelvin leaving the office,I followed not making it obvious,I could see him from a distance being conscious of his environment,
I thought to myself so all the tough guy act was to cover up his cowardice nature,a wicked smile crossed my lips,he got home,when I was sure he must be opening his door,I took out my sim and placed another call,

This time he was a bit brave
"listen up whoever you think you are",then he almost choked on his words,when he screamed "what the hell"
I took my chance now
Oh!I told you I have a surprise,that is just to show you that we can get to you whenever we want,oh! By the way nice place you got there,but I think the curtains are too tacky,
"who the hell are you"he retorted
Now Kelvin,that's not all I have for you,check the shoe box,I gave him time to open up and check,before I continued,I'm sure these drug law guys will have a field day with a dealer who pretends to be a consultant,

"what do you want"he managed,his voice betraying his words,
Aha! That's the question I just needed,
Stay the hell away from Rosie,don't see her,don't threaten her any more,I'm giving you three to one week to see to it,or you really don't want to know.

I could feel his fear over the phone,he was unusually soft,I was expecting a harsh confrontation,for a bully and a beast,but he let his guard down and I felt triumphant as I removed the sim,placing it back in my purse where it always belongs,smiling with a sense of accomplishment.

hello,am I unto Kelvin,I said
yes please,he sounded polite,who am I speaking to?
Not important right now,but I must say,you clean up pretty nice,nice jacket,but that silly beard just makes me hate you all the more,I sounded harsh.
"who the hell am I speaking to you"? He asked,scanning his environment,
Uh uh!if I were you,I wouldn't cross over to the other side,you might just get hurt,I added as he tried to rush over to the other side in order to access his office building,he paused suddenly.

Wow!I thought to myself,this is working,at least I tested him there and it worked,he didn't cross just like I ordered,I ended the call,watched him pace for a while,then with a speed of light crossed over,dissappearing into his office building,I waited for about 20minutes then came down from the storey building where I staged my drama,retracting the sim from my phone,I dis appeared into the adjoining street.I walked straight to the mud house behind one of the famous churches in town,the mud house is known to some as the most powerful house in town,hence the nickname"white house",it offers services to various kinds of people,from criminals to pastors,as I got close,two rough looking guys approached me,one from the front and the other from the back,circling me,the one in front of me had this large scar across his face to show for his years of guardianship according to Magdalene.

I never really knew this place existed not until yesterday when I had finalised the lady stage of my plans for Kelvin,Rosie's boyfriend,Magdalene is known in the hostel to be a mental case,she is involved in all kinds of vices,so I decided to approached her,she didn't disappoint,she told me about the mud house,the guardians,and taught me the basic language,which as she said all fell into place.

The guy behind asked "Who is the point guard"?his hoarse voice resonating through my body,I was a bit shaky,but I remember Magdalene's words about composure,so I mustered some courage,my lips still quaking,I said Lena according to Magdalene,I guess that was her code name,I could read the relaxation in their eyes

"Purpose of visit"The guy behind fired again,at that point I realised two other guys approaching our direction,one of them walked past me,letting his shoulder brush against mine,I turned,but I couldn't even look into his eyes cos there were blood red and fierce looking,so I turned to the guy who threw the question,then replied
"Two sacks of snow"I could see a bit of surprise on their faces,and that gave me some amount of satisfaction,after a long pause,he replied
"serve"
I dropped an unnecessary bold sum of money on the ground,the other guy who gave me the fierce look threw something in a brown envelope to the one who asked all the questions,he handed it over to me,i hurriedly collected the package,I was about leaving,when a firm hands pulled me back,it was the guy that stood in front,I stopped

"Discretion and caution is advised"he said,at the point,I understood why he didn't talk,his voice wasn't intimidating enough,he had a feminine voice,I guess what he lacked in voice,he made up in looks,with that I turned and walked away,headed straight to Kelvin's place.

I staggered again and almost tripped over the other lady which from her position showed she was yet another of Ken's company,she tighten her grip around Ken's arm,
Let me formally introduce myself I said looking in Sarah's direction I'm Alice,Evans's girlfriend,she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something,
I'm not done,I cut in,the one whom he has spent three bleeping years with,I emphasized each word as if to send a message.

That's enough,Evans said angrily,pulling my arm,he shoved me away,get out he added,while the Dean rushed to calm Evans.I exploded,anger mixed with frustration and alcohol,I rushed back to the table,grabbed the almost empty bottle of Scotch,broke it on the table,but before I could perform the next action,two strong and firm hands held me,overpowering and pinning me down to the floor,I struggled to move,by this time,voices were raised,neighbours started lurking around,I screamed
you,son of a bi.tch,you really think you have do this to me and get away with it,you wrecked my life because of some rich bi.tch,are you that shallow,by now Sam and Dean are shielding and pulling me to the door to prevent me from Evans who is now so enraged,threatening to beat the living daylight of me,I screamed at the top of my voice from the door,
Hey!bi.tch he doesn't love you,he only wants your money,I was acting crazy,offcourse I was losing my mind.

I always knew Sam liked me in a way,whatever way it was,cos of that he was one of Evans's friends,I respected so much,Alice what's really going on? I always knew you to be strong,Sam said,with those words tears began building up,then dropping slowly,neighbours who didn't know gathered around asking questions.

I'm going to take you home now,Sam said in soft voice that only brought momentary comfort,he went back inside retrieved Ken's car keys,and held me gently walking me to the car.

We both didn't say anything to each other until I got home,as he dropped me he asked if there is anything he could help,I shook my head,making a No gesture,as I turned to leave,he said strong women are known to take the highroad,go take care of yourself, you will be fine,I nod.he drove off.

My head began spinning,I knew I needed help,I reached for my purse and took out my phone and scrolled down to a contact I have been avoiding to call for days.Rosie!

Rosie and me go way back in school,beautiful,intelligent and calm,the exact reverse of me.
I met Rosie in our final year,I remember going to dispose waste at the back of the hostel,there was this pavement where a girl was seated crying her eyes out,so engrossed in her tears,she didn't notice when I approached her.

I knew if I had to get her to tell me what's going on,I had to go beyond the sympathy level,
"you look awful" I said with a stern look on my face,suddenly she paused and looked at me,I guess she was wondering look who the hell is this stranger with a bad mouth,she stood up to leave,I stopped her then said,I stay in room 23,if you ever want to share,I walked away without looking back,two days Rosie showed up in my room,looking worn out but more beautiful than the first day,she sat on my bed,and told me a very funny story of how her boyfriend has been abusing her,the last straw that broke the camel's back was when Rosie walked in on him with another girl,she tried to ask questions but she was beaten black and blue,the marks were evident on her back which she showed me,so she decided to end it,but he kept harassing her,the night before I met her crying,the guy asked to talk to her,when she went,he beat her up again and collected her phones.

I asked so many questions which proved to me she was naive in the relationship thing,so at that moment,she may have found a shoulder to cry on,but I found a protégé to coach,I gathered all the information I needed about this "azz" of a guy,who he is,where he lived,his routine and how he operates.
I took out the extra sim card I have for missions like this,
Then I went to work...

well,for starters,Larry Jameson is the founder and Chief executive officer of Jameson group of companies.
But for smart folks,currently he is worth thirty billion US dollars.He owns pharmaceutical companies,media houses,private universities,transport companies across the country.

Recently he extended his tentacles to ICT,he bought over Siecom,the leading Service providing telecommunications company in the country,those are just the investments the common people know of,he holds a PhD from Harvard Business School,I should know all these cos I got fascinated by this man when he delivered a lecture two years ago at my convocation ceremony on Youths:A necessary catalyst for building the Nation's economy,he was delectable in his speech,captivating the audience with his flawless grammar with a touch of humour,I still remember the resounding applause he got as he ended his speech and walked back to his seat.

I took interest in him since then.so to say he is rich and influential is a plain joke,he is phenomenal,I don't know why I wasn't interested in his family life not untill now.

With that simple discovery that I didn't just lose the man I love to another woman,but to the daughter of Larry Jameson was more painful than the stab of a thousand knives to my heart. I tried to console myself.
I stayed away from social media to avoid all traces of my dilemma,I was tempted to call a thousand times,but the feeling was mostly accompanied by fear of the unknown,at this point,he wasn't even calling anymore.i locked myself in,indulged in so many different things to get my mind off the obvious like watching movies,reading books,games,switched off my phones,bring it on again,wishing to at least see a text message from Evans that will tell me that it wad all a big joke,that didn't happen,out of anger and disappointment,I switched off my phones again.

After three days,I didn't know when I found myself in Evans's place,there was this Mercedes C class parked outside,a range rover sport,I immediately recognised that as Ken's car,I saw Evans's car too,so I knew he is around,as I approached his flat,I hear laughter,sounded like there were more people,my guts told me to walk to the door,while my brain told me to turn back,

I ignored my brain,I looked a bit undressed,I haven't made up in three
days,for my purpose there,I didn't really
think I needed makeup.i muttered some courage and knock,I could hear a pause inside from the laughter,I knocked again,before I could knock again,the door slides open and I'm face to face with Evans.

"what are you doing here"?he asked with a not so good tone,I could feel anger suppressed in it, we need to talk I fired back,before he could say another word,I pressed in,walked to the parlour where everyone was,I saw ken,Dean and Sam,three of Evans's good friends and two other ladies,one I recognised from the picture I saw on facebook.
This must be "la princesse" my mind informed,I managed a hi everyone with a smile that didn't go beyond my lips,I could see the look of uncertainty and curiosity on everybody's face,I didn't wait for a response for any body,I fired up another question that really needed no answer rather to register a feeling.
What is everybody so happy about? I had just activated my b.itchy self,I turned and walked straight to the kitchen,got a glass,came back and I went straight to the vodka on the table in their midst,poured it,almost filling my glass,poured it down my throat,anticipating a quick reaction,which will help my course.they were all staring at me in bewilderment.

Dean managed a"it's very nice to see you Alice",before he could end his words,I fired back same here,I started sweating almost immediately,a reaction in my body,I felt an unnecessary boldness,I turned to the lady I recognised from facebook,
Sarah right?its very nice to finally meet
you in person,with an outstretched hand,she hesitate for a while,my hands are still outstretched,then reluctantly she shakes me,I squeezed her hands with a look on my face that sings there is trouble,Evans rushes to drag my hands off hers and says Alice please lets talk outside.

I didn't realize that there are vodkas that could act up in less that ten minutes if taken in an excess quantity,I staggered laughing foolishly,No Evans we can talk here where we would understand ourselves better where Sarah here could gain so much from right Sam?I asked now looking in Sam's direction,They were all now aware that there was about to be a storm in paradise...

pls I need it,could you send it to my mailbox?

Episode 2
Jerking back to reality,I realised how far one could travel back in time with thoughts,I had relived our entire 3years of relationship in 4hours.

My phone had finally gone off, i could feel the morning sipping in through the curtains,i could feel my brain in my head,the headache had increased,i managed to get up,reached for the lamp,switched it on,the light illuminated the room,causing my eyes to go dim for a while,my eyes soon got used to the illuminated room.

I let my eyes stray slowly to the wall clock,it was 5am already,i rushed into the bathroom,I needed a cold shower to ease the pounding headache I had.
It's been 2months since I realised Evans was cheating on me,I pretended to have heard anything,went back to bed and left the next morning,not giving Evans a clue to what I have learnt.I started avoiding him,hoping he will press on to find out what's going on,but he didn't,seemed like he even used it as an opportunity to avoid me too.

I braved up and decided to confront the man I loved,expecting him to deny it all,but he looked me in the eye and said

"yes Alice I have been seeing someone,Susan and me go way back,I know it's a lot to process right now,but..."
Before he could finish the last sentence which I suppose would have been more disastrous than it already was,I moved slowly away,while he tried to hold me back,but I asked him to stop with a hand gesture,I found myself sitting on a pavement by the roadside weeping uncontrollably.
I started stalking Evans on social media,after he stopped calling me,anger soon became fear,I was just at that point wishing he could just come back to me,I got curious,I wanted to know about the woman who has taken my man

Was she more beautiful?
Rich? Secured career? Etc
I just wanted to weight the competition or understand the attraction.Thank God for the 21st century,with the social media craze,you could stalk from a smartphone.

I made sure I followed him closely,slowly I unravelled the mystery woman,she was annoyingly pretty,light skin with nice set of teeth that enhanced her already captivating smile,I soon realised she just came in from Canada where she was studying,well her facebook page didn't say much,but said alot.
But something interesting caught my eyes.Her name.
She was Susan Larry Jameson,
Larry Jameson?
I felt my stomach turn,I couldn't tell what it was,fear or anger.
Is she the daughter of?
I scrolled down,
Ha! I gasped at a picture I saw,I clicked it,enlarging it to a more visible size,
It was Susan with another handsome guy in the middle,A woman in her fifties to the right,and Larry Jameson to left,they all looked so happy,the picture was tagged"family is everything"

It was now obvious,but I wanted to be convinced I scrolled through the comments which were over sixty,without doubt now I realised that Susan was the dear daughter of the famous Larry Jameson.

On a normal Saturday,9pm would have been to early for most club lovers,but this Saturday was no normal one,the hall was halfway filled,though just few people were on the dance floor just twerking to the cool jams flowing.

We spotted an empty table for four at one corner of the hall,we made ourselves comfortable,Ken's company was unnecessarily quiet as she kept fiddling with her phone,I had no choice but to follow suit since both our companies were engrossed in the discussion,as soon as we sat down,they played the gentlemen role by asking what cared for,after a while we unanimously agreed to start our night with Red Label.

It was served with a bucket of ice,we sat there sipping away as the dance floor starting heating up with more people,I could see Anita,Ken's company from the faint light nodding,wow! She is loosening up,it must be the alcohol.

Evans and Ken's discussion kept growing from normal voices to whispers from time to time,at some point Anita reached out for my hand,inviting me for a dance,

Does she know I'm a terrible dancer?,obviously she is good at it judging from her gestures,that's why she wants to enjoy my frustration,but I obliged anyway,as we hit the dance floor,both guys smile at us.

At about 2pm,I was already in my 7th alcoholic planet,the guys were in their 5th or so,Anita well was in her maybe 100th,cos she had used the ladies room six times already in two hours,four of those she had puked her entire intestines,

Can you blame,we had consumed two bottles of Red label and two bottles of Carlo Rossi,we just had to leave.
As for me,I was seeing a million people in the hall,I felt like I was carrying about ten blocks on my head,my legs were shaking.

I roll over as my eyes open,everything is strange,
Where am I? it took me five seconds to realise I am on Evans bed,wearing his shirt,what the hell happened last night?
Last thing is remember is Evans voice in my head telling me I will be fine,maybe I passed,what about Anita and Ken? Did Anita pass out too? I was still processing all these when I realised Evans is not even on bed,

I managed to get out of bed,my head was still fussy,I walked towards the parlour,but I paused cos I heard Evans' voice.he was obviously on phone


"baby listen,pls just hear me out,I understand,I know you have tried,wait! Wait! listen!,I know you have been patient,but I promise I will soon end this,I know we are supposed to be together yesterday,I promise I will make it up to
you,I love you so much".

My legs grew weaker,now I know it wasn't the alcohol anymore,but what i just heard,Evans talking to someone on phone?
Who could possibly be at the other end? My stomach ached,i could feel the heat moving to my face,then eyes, i let it out as hot tears graced my cheeks.
