Yvonne woke up and discovered that she was in her car, realizing she had slept off in the car she quickly turned the ignition on but then paused, she looked confused as she stared at the road, she turned the ignition off after looking out the window in shock, she was surprised to see that she was parked right in front of her gate. She began wondering how she got there, she remembered she fell asleep by the side of the road but doesn’t recall her driving to the gate; she never took drugs or smoked weed.
“Or could it have been the stranger?” she said to herself. She was getting more confused, or maybe it was the slap James gave to her that made her see things but her arrival at the gate was not an imagination. She stepped out of the car looked around and saw a petty store few meters from her car, she decided to ask the lady there how she got here—pretty weird I know
“Hello excuse me” she said
“ Hey hello” the lady replied
“Please I want to ask you something”
“Ok no problem”
“Please ehnm” she hesitated “Who drove me here?” she asked. The lady looked confused
“I don’t understand what do you mean by who drove you here?” the lady replied, Yvonne was confused
“I'm sorry” she said and was about to leave
“You were in the car with a guy or maybe your boyfriend or don’t you know your boyfriend. I don’t know or were you drugged or what” the lady said gesticulating. Yvonne paused
“Sorry but am not feeling well but did you say you saw a man in my car?” she asked. The lady was thinking maybe Yvonne was doing drugs
“Of cause you were with a man. Am I the one who’s going to tell you the man you were with. You should know him” she said
“I’m sorry” Yvonne said and walked to her car. Now she was convinced it was the stranger
“But how was that possible?” she thought to her self
“I was on the wheels” she said. She felt she needed some good rest, so she walked into the compound leaving the car outside...




Audrey drove straight to her boutique, as she walked in she met Gerry sitting in her office waiting for her. Gerry was a guy of 35 years who was in love with Audrey but she wasn’t interested in him, she said he was too old. She prefers relationship with younger boys.
“What are you doing here?” Audrey said as the dropped her bag and sat down
“Hello Audrey” he said smiling
“You need to stop this and don’t smile at me… I asked you a question” she said as she got up again walking to the door
“Audrey Please we need to talk” he said
“God damn it. What do you want from me?” she stopped and turned
“Audrey you know what I want” he said standing up
“I don’t” she folded her arms, he walked towards her
“Don’t Come near me” she said and he stopped
“Audrey I love you genuinely” he said.
His eyes expressed how real he was with her but she didn’t care
“I can’t love you… how many times do you want me to say it?” she replied, not even an atom of regret in her eyes as she stared plainly at him
“Audrey” he said taking a deep breath
“Please give me a chance” he said
“No I can’t, I love someone else” she said immediately
“Audrey, you are going out with a boy you are way older than, I am a man who can take care of you, I am a man who can show you love more than small boys” he said and she took offense to that
“I don’t need you to care for me, I can care for myself”
“Audrey We are both mature adults who should know what we want… You deserve better than that boy” he said
“Really? Ok I think you should get out now… even if I wanted better definitely not you” she said and he felt hurt
“Audrey listen” he tried to speak
“Get out now” she said angrily
“Audrey please”
“Get out” she said, it was quite embarrassing because so many people were there. He walked out got into his car & drove off. She walked into her office and closed the door. . . .




Max climbed down the stairs fast with a file in his hand, he adjusted his tie and made for the door, when he saw his wife sitting down looking unhappy; he paused and walked towards her, he sat beside her
“It’s a new day Love” he said
“It isn’t to me”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s the same old day”
“What are you talking about?”
“If it’s a new day we should be having something new may be a child” she said; this was a weird behaviour because just yesterday she put up this attitude and today she wears it again
“I thought we had passed this stage” he said
“Stage? IS that what you call it? This is our marriage we’re talking about not a life cycle” she said angrily as she got up
“So what do you want me to do?”
“Be a man do what men do” she said
“I see I think you are losing it… what the hell is wrong with you? We had this damn fight last night and here you are bringing it up again… and it’s high time you watch your over driven mouth” he was clearly pissed
“Really? You think I am losing my mind? Well not just yet… this is the reason why women cheat on their husbands” she said and walked away. Max was so angry at her for what she had just altered and it was a misguided utterance indeed, without any more words he left the house—somehow Maria knew that she had done the worse this time.

Yvonne spent the night there just thinking throughout the night.
A knock on the door of the room in the morning
“Yvonne it’s me” Maria said
“Come on in” she said
“Good morning” Maria said
“Good morning” she replied as she sat up
“How was the night?” Maria said
“Fine, how is Max?” she said
“He’s getting ready for work”
“I’ll be leaving soon” Yvonne said, Maria noticed her weak eyes
“Yvonne you didn’t sleep” Maria said
“I couldn’t but I have to go now” she said standing up
“Are you sure? At least have breakfast with us”
“Not thanks, I’ll be fine” she said
“Thanks for everything” Yvonne said then hugged Maria
“You are welcome, what are friends for girl” Maria escorted her out to her car and she drove off…




Rachael woke up to a beautiful fresh start, she turned around but couldn’t feel her husband around her, she stood up and walked into the bathroom and came out in 15mins with a towel. She walks to her wardrobe and searches for clothes, she settles for a grey body hug and black jeans and then put on a turtle neck sweater. She sat in front of her mirror and did the usual art work on her face for about 5mins then was ready to go to her supermarket. As she stepped out of her room she saw her husband David coming
“David, where did you go? Woke up and couldn’t find you” she said
“What a stupid question or what do you think?” he said without looking at her and walking into the room and slammed the door
She ignored the attitude, she was getting used to the fact that her husband couldn’t love her, it was something she couldn’t understand. Been treating her badly for a long time now, she could file for a divorce but she felt she’d be the loser and a laughing stock.
As she walked downstairs she could hear music playing loudly from the sitting room
“Rita! Rita!!” she yelled but she was ignored, Rachael wasn’t in the mood to get in a fight with her kid sister so she just walked out of the house and got into her SUV and drove off. As she drove she thought about sending her sister far away from her so as to find peace in her home but she knew David wouldn’t allow that and Rachael also had the feeling that David was fucking her sister but she needed solid evidence
Rachael knows that if she catches them she probably wouldn’t even know what to do about it… probably just cry her eyes out.






Driving over to God knows where, Yvonne’s attention was not on the road and she was not aware that she had partly entered the wrong lane since the road had no block partition. She was still thinking to herself why and how she got involved with James because all she felt now was hate, she wondered if he had used black magic on her, she could no longer endure the pain she felt and have suffered. She remembered the day James saw her laughing with a guy who came to see her. James had walked into the house that day and saw them and immediately started questioning the young man and before you know it, went straight to the guy and punched him on the face and they started fighting.
James broke a bottle on his head and stabbed him; Yvonne tried to stop him but he beat her so bad. The guy ended up in the hospital and Yvonne paid the bills not just for the guy but for herself as well-that was the end of their friendship; James had done this to some other guy too.
She remembered the day he beat her till she fainted, she was admitted in the hospital and only her three best friends visited her and paid the bills, they tried to arrest James but James had the police in his pocket.
As she thought about this suddenly her mind was drawn back to the road by an incoming tanker and it was so close that she froze in fear and removed her hands from the steering wheel but suddenly
“Watch out!!” a guy said beside her and turned the wheels quickly into the right lane then suddenly vanished, Yvonne was still in shock of what just happened, she was breathing heavily with fear and looked beside her and couldn’t see anyone. She stopped her car by the side of the road and looked at her rear mirror and saw the tanker going. She couldn’t believe what had just happened. She became confused; was she imagining things or is she going crazy about her problems? She didn’t want to believe that someone just appeared in her car to save her but she could still feel his touch against her body, she didn’t even get a good view of his face but all she saw was some kind of bright skin guy maybe a white person.
“Maybe my guardian angel” she thought and then she laid her head on the steering wheel and slept off…





“Look, Audrey I need the money. Are you giving it or not?” Chinedu said standing beside the bed while putting on his clothes; he was a rude young man but she still liked him basically because he was good in bed.
“Sweet heart, I’ll give you the money but things are not going well at the store lately” she replied
“Like I care, how does that bother me?” he said taking his shoes
“How can you say that?” she sat up
“Look, if I don’t get the money just forget about seeing me again” he said walking out of the room
“Okay, wait” she said and moved to her locker by the bed and brought out a bundle of money and gave it to him
“There you go, I’m sorry, Okay? I love you and I’ll do anything to make you happy” she said; he snatched the money, kisses her cheek lightly and left without a Thank you
Audrey sat on the bed staring at the door. She happened to be a very rich lady who owns a very large boutique in town, she lived alone in a big duplex but her problem was, dating a guy too young for her.
She walked into her bathroom and came out in 20mins and changed into a nice dress, picked up her car keys and left the room; she walked into the sitting room and saw Nkechi the maid cleaning the house
“Nkechi” she called
“Good morning ma” she said
“Morning, please I would like some spaghetti with stew and fried turkey when I get back in the evening”
“Ok ma” she replied, Audrey handed her some cash then walked out of the house and got into her car and drove off…

1 : PROBLEMS

3 Years Later…
Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria
Maria had this straight face that would tell you that talking to her wouldn’t yield positivity; Max constantly glanced at her while driving
“Sweetie, what’s wrong?” Max asked after the long silence
“Nothing” that was all her voice box offered as she looked out through the window
“Look we’ve passed the stage of you saying nothing, I am your husband not your boyfriend” he replied with a little too loud voice, she slowly turned her head to him
“Ok why am I not pregnant?” she said looking at him; she looked very calm with that question, he looked at her then looked at the road
“What kind of question is that” he asked
“Just answer the god-damn question” she said loudly
“Am I to answer that?” he looked uninterested
“O yes, answer” she said with eyes on him
“Well, the doctor said you’re fine, you’ll have your pregnancy soon” he assured
“The doctor! The doctor!! The doctor!!! Always the doctor” she yelled; he had not expected such strange attitude from her
“What’s your problem? Why are you yelling? The doctor said you are fine” now he sounded angry
“Yes I’m fine but are you?” she said—I think those words didn’t come out right and she knew it, they also didn’t land safely in the ears of her husband Max; he parked the car
“What did you say?” Max said looking at her
“You heard me... are you capable of getting me pregnant?” she ran her mouth freely again trying to act confident—clearly he had resentment and disappointment in his eyes as he stared at her
“Did you just say that to me?” he pointed to himself and she went silent

Then she tried to act reasonably and reduced her voice as she said
“Max for God’s sake it’s 5 years now and we have no child” she sounded calm this time probably because she regretted those words, he stared at her, she looked away from him, she looked again to see him still staring, she looked away then looked at him to see him still staring then she broke the silence as she began to feel uncomfortable
“Honey I’m sorry about what I said” she tried touching him, he pushed her hand off then he started the car and continued driving, they were both silent until they got home.
The security personnel opened the gate for the car to come into the large compound; in silence they both entered the house and straight to the bedroom, Maria sat on the bed as she took off her shoes and jewelries, Max walked to the wardrobe, took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom
“Honey am so…just forget about it, I don’t feel like talking” Max interrupted her
He walked into the bathroom and locked the door—something he does when angry
Maria smiled as she knew he was angry; she changed her clothes and went down stairs into the kitchen to prepare dinner; she knew how much he loved food
She prepared a nice meal of Egusi soup with turkey and goat meat with pounded yam and a pack of fruit juice and set it on the dining table—if you are not from west Africa you may not understand the good taste of this meal. She sat down in the sitting room as she watched a movie; after 20mins Max came down stairs and sat on the sofa away from his wife who curled her legs on the chair; Maria was very beautiful.
“Baby food is ready” she said
“I’m not hungry” he replied with a straight face
“I’m very sorry okay? I didn’t mean what I said”
“Yeah, you never mean what you say” he replied
“Please go and eat your food” she said, now he was angrier
“I said am not hungry or do you have an ear problem?” he said loudly visibly pissed off
“Ok” she went silent
They both sat quietly for 10mins watching TV until she said something
“I prepared egusi soup with turkey and goat meat with pounded yam” she said without looking at him, immediately his eye balls moved to his left as he looked at her then pretending not to hear her—she understood him and just smiled
“It’s on the dining table” she said moving her head in the direction of the dining table. He ignored her and after about 2mins he turned to look at the dining table and saw that she was looking at him he turned his face away, she smiled and stood up then walked upstairs.
“I’m going to take a bath" she said
She knew her husband well enough, the pride in him will not allow him get his butts up in her presence and walk to the dining table because he would feel defeated.
Max looked back and didn’t see her, he then looked at the table again then he stood up and walked to it and sat down—he was seriously hungry. As he sat on the table and opened the food it was as she described it, his mouth was full of saliva, he swallowed it forceful and his throat gave out a funny gulping sound, he then thought to himself
“After all he wasn’t quarreling with the innocent food” he looked around to see if she was peeping at him before washing his hands and landed on the food.
Maria had a shower then came downstairs in a night gown and saw him eating the food happily she busted into laughter but immediately held her mouth as she saw him staring at her with a ball of pounded yam in his hand
“What’s funny?” he asked
“Nothing I’m sorry” she said still holding the laughter, she sat on the couch
“I am only eating this food because I don’t want food wastage in my house” he said
“I understand honey” she said with a smile—he decided to criticize the food just to massage his ego
“I don’t like the way you added pepper to this food, the pepper is too much” he said with a frowned face
“So sorry dear” she said immediately—she had been expecting him to say something
Max ate the food quietly while Maria watched TV. After 5mins Max had finished eating, he became happy, he sat down beside his wife this time
“I’m sorry about what I said” Maria said, Max smiled
Please don’t do that again, I sincerely didn’t find it funny” he said
“I know right? I’m sorry okay?” she said and he held her close, she laughed…


Well, for Maria it looked sweet and blissful but it wasn’t same for Yvonne


“Where the Bleep are you coming from?” Yvonne yelled at James—words we use when a relationship has gone seriously soared even worse, marriage; James acted as if he wasn’t listening
“Its 12am who the hell comes back at such time as a responsible husband. This has become a habit, you coming in so late and you don’t bother giving me an explanation, what do you take me for?” Yvonne yelled like she got fire in her eyes
“I told you earlier that work lasts longer these days” he replied walking upstairs as she followed him
“Oh shut up you terrible liar” she said and stopped behind him. He turned to look at her with anger and without hesitation he delivered a hot slap across her face, she screamed in pain. James didn’t mind, he walked on into the room leaving her sitting on the stairs and crying with her hand on her face—fire in her eyes had suddenly become water
After crying for10mins, she stood up and left the house to Maria’s place. James came out of the room and went downstairs looking for her but didn’t find her. He yelled her name but no response, he walked into the kitchen and opened the pot and saw some fried rice in it, he picked up a plate and served himself and didn’t bother calling her again cause that was why he ssored her…


Maris heard a knock on her door; she quickly walked to the door, opened the door and was surprised to see Yvonne standing there in tears.
“My God, please come inside, what happened?” Maria said helping her in
Yvonne was silent but in tears. Max was watching the TV as she came in and he greeted her with a smile but she couldn’t smile back or replied, she just cried
“What happened?” Max said
Yvonne sat down and wiped her face then sniffed her nose
“Tonight marks the end of my marriage with James” Yvonne said. Maria quickly sat down beside her
“Did James do this to you again?” Maria asked
“Your eyes are red and your face swollen, what happened?” Max added
“James slapped me today because I asked why he came home late” she said—that is how people tell their own side of the story; maybe if she had said it the way she narrated she wouldn’t have gotten a slap, but it doesn’t change the fact that James was a violent man animal.
“That’s a very stupid thing for a man to do. Did he loose his mind?” Max said
“James is a big fool and I can’t even recall why I married him” she said
“Come on sweetie don’t say that? We can sort this out” Maria said holding her hands
“No way, I am calling my lawyer to continue with the divorce process” she said
“No you can’t do that” Maria said
“I have already started it and won’t stop now” she said; Max and Maria were silent; they couldn’t argue because they knew the damages James had caused in the past.
“Please can I stay for the night” she asked
“Ok, that’s fine by me” Maria said and turned to Max who nodded in agreement

PROLOGUE



A fine bungalow apartment located in the woods somewhere in eastern Nigeria, it was dark and the stars had crowded the sky like fire flies having a feast, the forest was dark, cold and quiet, the light from the building brightened the open space around the house, the power of the light’s brightness reduces further and further away from the house with very little light touching on the trees and bushes, crickets singing aloud in the dark.
Uzor had been up for so long studying some ancient books on Celestial beings, he had spent almost 400 thousand naira for these books to arrive Nigeria but still he was not satisfied, he was a great lover of the supernatural and existence beyond earth, the sound from his laptop keys being stroke by his fingers was a little louder since it was dark and quiet, he typed in quite a hurry—he was writing a book. He constantly moved his eye balls rapidly from one book to another and then return to the laptop to punch in some words, while paying so much attention to his work, he suddenly felt a mild vibration, he stopped typing then noticed the glass of water on the table vibrating lightly, the vibration got stronger and suddenly there was a loud thud like an explosion followed by a strong shaking, he immediately panicked as he fell off the chair, the shaking and thud had suddenly shut down the lights and darkness took over.
In the darkness he searched for his phone but he noticed a bright orange light coming in from the windows, he looked outside the window and saw heavy flames in the distance inside the woods
“Jesus Christ… a forest fire” he quickly ran out the house, he looked in the direction of the burning and it looked like something had fallen from the sky, he got down the stairs then ran towards the fire and stopped as he immediately noticed something moving inside the flame, he was stunned, for the first time he was witnessing a meteor rock fall. His surprise and excitement suddenly became worry as he watched somebody walking out from the flames, he stood there shocked as a man who Africans would describe as a white man walked out the flames completely naked, the flames engulfed his body but didn’t hurt his skin, he saw Uzor staring at him, he began walking towards Uzor as the flames on his skin began to quench into smoke, Uzor stood there, his feet planted to the earth by fear not knowing what to do…
















MARIA
A beautiful brown skin woman, her face well modelled and feminine with a faintly rosy lips, she had dark shiny hair like strands lustrous glass and her beauty was wild and delightful. Maria was a gentle woman, wise and composed, she was happily married to Maxwell, a successful business man, their only problem is the absence of a baby’s cry in their multi million naira mansion and it bothered Maria

AUDREY
She was a 30 years old light skinned spinster, her face fair and eager, exotic cheekbones, her lips full and rounded, she had brown hair that looked like fine dust, slim waist and rounded hips with high-pitched breasts, long bright thighs. She was a little wild, selfish but confident and she had a boyfriend in his early 20s known as Chinedu; she was independently rich and styled

RACHAEL
This dark brown, moderately chubby beauty had this slightly full cheek and soft red lips, she had fine hips and thick shaped thighs that were brown and smooth like chocolate, she had this rich black hair and sparkling eyes. But Rachael was dying from low self esteem, she was the most peaceful of all four ladies, gentle and delicate. Married to a man who is married to her money. I personally feel she is the most beautiful of all four; her eyes and lips are a breath taker but strangely she no longer sees that but why? What happened?



YVONNE
And here is my favourite of all four, she was glorified with beauty and a darker brown than Maria, her hair jet black like a starless night, her iris light brown that made her face glow with dark brows perfectly carved by her creator, she had a much redder lower lip and a fine set of teeth, her face shaped perfectly. Her slim waist and curvy hips and butts were unhidden. Yvonne was highly extroverted, playful, she carried herself with much confidence and had the habit of pampering herself, but quite the stubborn fellow, kind of fearless, daring greatly and wealthy too. Tied the knot with an obfuscating husband. Beautiful strong woman but emotionally weak.
