Chapter 12
"What!" I said and jerked away, he giggled,
"So do you agree?" he asked,
"No way" there is no way am going to accept this, I move towards the door
"Where are you going cupcake," he asked
"Am going to go tell mom and dad everything, and make things clear tomorrow with the principal," I said
"Then what will happen to the pain I endured, will you still be happy after that?" he asked and I remembered the scar, truthfully I won't be, why does he always have an upper hand
I went back and stood before him, I knelt down before him as I felt defeated, I felt his shadow tower over me like the bogeyman.
"Get up, go sleep for tomorrow you start," he said and I stood up, I hate he always defeats me, I thought things changed, but obviously nothing did.
I walked towards the door but stopped when he called, funny how obedient I became
"Your first duty is to do my morning chores and carry my back bag to school" he said and I nodded "you just don't nod to your master, you say 'yes master'" he said I look to see him with a proud smirk, I wish I can wipe the floor with it
"Yes master," I said
"You can leave," he said and I left with a heart full of regret.
Sure enough I did everything he asked I came to school with his bag while he just walked with nothing, I never asked when this will end
"Why are you with your brother's bag," Martha asked
"Don't ask" I said sadly and she pitied me, this is going to be a disaster.
Our first period is free, since the teacher didn't come to school, my sad features were erased when I saw my boyfriend coming towards me, I haven't even told Martha about it yet
"Hi Esther," he said beaming me a smile
"Hi" I replied
"Since the teacher is not here, am hoping I could spend time with you," he said, how charming
"Sure, am not doing anything" I replied, he took Martha seat, she is with Oge gisting leaving the seat, am glad for that
"First before I forget, can I have your number," he said showing me his android phone. Phones are prohibited but few do sneak in a phone, I don't, am afraid of getting caught.
"Alright," I said and gave him my number, he saved it with dearest, I blushed when I saw it, he then winked at me, I smiled. It's cute, unlike that devil's wink that sends chills down your spine.
"Cupcake" I gasped when I heard his voice from behind, damn speak of the devil
"I have work for you," he said totally ignoring Oliver
"Dude can you give her a minute?" Oliver asked nicely
"No" the devil replied rudely "come on slave am waiting," he said and went back to his chair
"Slave?" Oliver asked
"I will explain later," I said then went on to answer the devil, he broke my heart by his word, I thought only those you love can break your heart. The devil just did.
"What do you need me for?" I asked as serious as I can
"I have some notes to copy, my hand is tired so why not help me and complete them," he said with a shrug like he didn't just break my heart
"I can do it later, the teacher only check the note on the last week before the exam" I tried to reason with him
"Do it now, you are not doing anything now" he said, chatting with my boyfriend is obviously nothing to him.
"Alright master. So can I have it" I asked and he smirked. He opened his desk and brought out his whole note, 10 subjects in total "which one?" I asked
"All of it" I gasped, then opened them, he has not even written anything, we are now in 7th week and he has not written anything.
"How am I suppose to finish this," I asked, its time to start reading for the exam.
"Don't know don't care, just finish it all" he said, what sort of deal did I make with him.
"Ok, let me take just one for now," I said and he nodded, I took his biology notebook, I will use mine to copy. When I returned Oliver is already gone, Martha is back. I opened my desk to bring out my biology note. I saw a note from Oliver "wait for me after school" I smiled, he always brings a smile to my face
"So what's up?" Martha asked, that's our way to know each other life
"Oliver confessed," I said and she gasped, I told her everything apart from the slave part
"Am happy for you" she said
"So yours?" I asked, her parents are always fighting and it affects her, she is the strongest girl I know, for she always stays strong.
"They are still at it," she said sadly
"Things will be fine," I said and she nodded. Then I started the note
"What are you doing?" she asked
"Writing that devils note," I said disgustingly, she smiles
"You should stop calling him devil, he actually saved you" it's true but am paying for it "come on let me help you, he saved us both," she said and took the note from me, I felt relieved I still have to tackle the other nine.
Not long after, our next period started. So we suspended everything. When the school dismissed, I Went outside to wait for Oliver, I ditched that devil
"Hello Esther" I heard his voice, I turned to him "did you wait long?" he asked I shook my head
"Come on let's go," I said and he intertwined our hands, this is a habit I won't drop
"Are you forgetting your duty" I heard the devils voice and my world crumbled
I turned to see him with his bag, I thought I ditched him
"I know he is your sister, but treat her nicely," Oliver demanded with anger
"You are right, she is my sister so whatever I do is not your concern" he glared at Oliver
"Am her" I stopped Oliver before he finished his sentence
"We will see tomorrow, just leave for now" I begged him, he left after glaring at the devil
"Here carry this" he handed his bag to me, it was very heavy
"Why is it this heavy?" I asked as I struggled with it
"I loaded all my notebook since it will all be at home till you finish it all," he said and casually walked before me
"You could have just taken it one at a time, why do you always cause me pain" I cried, not really showing him the tears
"Remember cupcake, your misery is my amusement"

Chapter 11
The whole teaching was just a shout to a deaf ear, I kept looking his way, now that I need to see his face he didn't even look my side. After the break, I tried to go meet him, but he has already gone before I reached him only to come back when the lesson resumed.
I decided to approach him after school, he doesn't seem to be in pain but I know the chemistry teacher flogging is out of this world, we even believe he is military.
I was so glad when I heard the dismissal bell, I quickly arranged my books I look at his side to see that Martha has already beat me to it, she is talking with the devil. I quickened my pace to meet up
"Hello Esther" Oliver called and I stopped
"Whatsup," I asked, with a smile, its just automatic
"I have been meaning to ask you something," he said nervously
"What?" I asked giving him full attention, Martha has already left with the devil, what's the hurry I will meet him at home
"It might come as a shock, it's been what I have been thinking for a long time," he said and went a bit back, we are now the only ones in the class "it definitely takes a lot of courage for me to be here" he giggled
"Since you are already here, spill it," I said, I felt happy, am not a novice I already know what he's driving at.
"I like you, like really like you, can you be my girlfriend?" he asked and looked at me expectantly
This is what I have been dreaming for so long and finally, it's here, I don't even want to have pride and say I will think about it cause I have thought about it for years, I smiled
"I would love to," I said and his face lit up, he came closer, I guess he wants a kiss cause he first looked around to see if we are alone
"Not so fast" I held him back, and he laughed nervously "let's take it slow," I said, am already content enough to be his girlfriend
"Yea baby steps," he said and I smiled, I love I make him nervous "but I can at least hold your hands," he asked and I nodded, he intertwined our hands and the smile widened
Am so going to give an earful to Martha, we walked home hand in hands, now I have to show my appreciation.
When I got home he already left to play ball, hmm I came back late cause with Oliver I didn't rush, I wanted to savour everything. After doing my shores I received a call from mom so I went to the store to help out, I guess I will see him when am back.
The store made it possible to keep my mind off things. Its already late when we came home, on getting to the doorsteps I was hearing dad's voice.
"It's not been up to 2 months you came back and you already caused a commotion" I heard him, I was confused when I came in and saw him shouting at the devil
"What's wrong honey," my mom asked
"I got a call from the principal, he told me Mavis was in a party with smokers and gangsters," he said with much anger, and guilt hits me like a car going 120 per hour. This is all my fault, the school and now here, I looked at him, he's looking down, what have I done.
The guilt worsened when I remembered he warned me, my chest tightened, the happiness I felt with Oliver's confession was not enough to clear this sadness.
I tried to speak up to tell them its all my fault but the devil looked at me and I got the chill, its as if he has a spell over me, all reasoning left me, the intensity in his eyes compelled me to be quiet.
"Am sorry boss, it was just a momentary mistake, it won't happen again" he said
"Forgive him honey, am sure he won't do it again" my mom beg on his stead, I can't even do anything
"It better not, now go to your room and no dinner for you," he said and the devil went to his room, I watched him go.
I couldn't eat dinner, how can I after inflicting such pain on someone else, I made sure that my parents are asleep when I prepared his favourite, its just tea, and bread. I know it's not enough, but its a start
"Come in" he said after my second knock, I came in, he was facing his wardrobe, thereby backing me, his light is still on he just finished bathing, my eyes caught the Cain marks on his back, it was hideous, I went forward to touch it, but I was late cause he already wore his shirt before I reach
"So to what do I owe this visit?" he asked as he turns around
"Here," I said holding out the tray with tea and bread, he smiled, that his devilish smile
"Thanks, cupcake" he took it and went to his bed to eat it, I knelt down
"Thank you for everything, and am sorry," I said with tears, he laughed
"I bet now you are thinking, that am your hero," he asked and I raised my eyes to him, though I didn't admit it it's true, he came down and knelt in front of me, so close I felt his warmth
"I told you already, am Mavis you devil," he said and my eyes widened "devil don't do things for free, he always collects," he said, then help me stood up
"What will be your fee," I asked as am determined to pay since it will help calm my guilt, he walked behind me and sniffed my hair sending chills down my spine
"You dear, will become my slave," he said and I gasped

Chapter 10
When I got home I kept pacing around, the devil is not yet back, I hope he is not captured
Its already 1 am and he is not back, we left by 12, I can't believe I will one day worry about that devil, and I hate it when he called me slowpoke, he never for once called me names, it really weakened me when he did. Relieve flush over me when I saw him walked in
"You are back" I rushed over to me, he looked taken back
"Awww, so you were worried about me" he mocked me, I was, but I won't let him know
"Am just worried you won't find my ID, and I will be in trouble" I said
"Hmmm, you have so little faith in me cupcake," he said handing over my purse, I checked to see my ID, "since everything is in order, I will head to bed," he said with a yawn.
I wonder if he has been there or just came, but am glad he came on time to save me, I so want to thank him but knowing this devil, he won't let me live it down
"Were you caught?" I asked, since when he went back Emma's parents are already inside and students are running helter-skelter
"Don't worry about that cupcake all is well" he said then stopped as he was about to enter his room "you are no slowpoke" he said then shut the door behind him, I felt relieved with his last statement, and then comes the scary part when I realize I have a smile on my face.
"Get hold of yourself Esther" I muttered then went into my room, as I lay on my bed I started reminiscing on what happened today. It was just perfect, I hope Oliver got out if I have his number I would've called. Nonetheless, I will see him on Monday.
When our parent came home on Sunday, I thought the devil will report me but he didn't, he actually said the weekend went freely, truthfully the nicer he is the more scared I am, it's like the calm before the storm, and it kills me when he looks my way and smirk.
I was on an edge the entire weekend, I relaxed a little when Monday came, it had a lot to do with seeing Oliver, yea definitely. With him, in my mind, I went to school with enthusiasm.
When I came to school I looked for Oliver, I went to him immediately I saw him
"So how did you go on Friday?" we asked together
"My brother came and took me before they arrived" I answered first and he sighed, he looked relieved
"What about you?" I asked
"I ran when they arrived, I looked for you but couldn't find you so I figured you left," he said with a shrug
"Am glad we are both safe" I said giving him a cute smile, he returned the gesture
"I heard some people were caught, and will severely be punished today," he said, and I felt sorry
"It ought to happen, they were smokers in there, no parents will be happy about that," I said as I remembered the smokers
"Thank God we weren't, come on let's get to class," he said and we both walked to class. When we entered I involuntarily again look at the devils' side, but he wasn't there, and some of our classmates are not.
"Where are some of our classmate, am sure they didn't drive anybody for school fees," I said to Martha.
"Nop, they were all sent to the principals' office," Martha said sadly, she is really sad
"Why?" I asked
"They were the ones caught on Friday," she said and my eye widened, then I looked at the devils' desk, he is still not there
"Is the devil among?" I asked, already feeling my chest tightened
"Yes," she answered, now I know why she is sad, cause the devil is caught and it's my fault.
Guilt hit me like never before, am not even worried if he exposes me, I will be glad if he does, I kept looking at the entrance hoping he will come in looking so badass like he always does. Time seems to go slower and teaching became noise to my ears, and it was Economics, my favourite subject.
After what seemed like forever, the student came back, the guys eyes are red, as for the girls they were all crying, but the devil was not among them, maybe he is not among those that are punished or his own is worse, am already chewing my nails as I couldn't keep calm.
"He's back" I heard Martha, so I looked at the entrance and sure as hell, the devil is back looking total badass, unlike the guys he doesn't seem to be in pain. My lips curve into a smile, he is unpunished
"Your brother is a monster" I heard Tina said I turned to her, she is among those that were punished, her eyes are still red from the tears
"What do you mean?" I asked, I know he is the devil though
"It was chemistry teacher that flogged us," she said and I gasped, the man is most feared, I couldn't even withstand two strokes of Cain from him.
"You know, since it was Emma that hosted the party and he already paid for waec and so have all the ss3 so they can't be expelled, for that reason expulsion was off the option," she said and took a breath
"So the principal gave us two option, either 2 weeks suspension or Cain, since we don't want our parents to know about what happened we all chose Cain, but all regretted it when we found out that its chemistry teacher that will do the flogging" I can't begin to imagine the pain, luckily they said nobody was asked to call names of the culprit, they all served as scapegoat.
"So he gave us 10 strokes of Cain," she said, Martha and I gasped, I would pass out on the 5th one, "well some couldn't handle 10, people like me got only 6 but its still hell," she said, I know cause that man is a demon
"So what made my brother monster," I asked, truthfully it angered me she called him a monster
"He received 15 strokes of Cain and still didn't budge," she said like she still can't believe herself, Martha and I exchanged a glance
"What, why?" I asked as my chest tightened again
"Since he appeared like the Cain was just a scratch, the teacher kept flogging, and each one harder than previous one" she shook her head, "he stop cause the principal asked him to" then I looked at the devil, he's resting his head on his hand, tears welled up my eyes. I kept thinking about his pain and it was because of me.

Chapter 9
"Have you heard about the Friday party?" Oliver asked, he came to my desk, its almost dismissal
"Yea," I answered, I stiffed like being held at a gunpoint
"If you can make it, am thinking if we can get to talk more about the prefect stuff," he said scratching the back of his neck, how cute Oliver is shy
"And you know get to know each other more," he said and I was overwhelmed
"Sure, I would love that," I said but actually am already picturing him proposing to me.
"So, a date then," he said and my eyes widened "not like a date date, its a date not date like a date" he balled his hand into a fist "what am I saying" he looks frustrated, a huge part me is happy for making him like this
"I understand what you mean," I said and he relaxed
"Friday then," he said and left but not before giving me his gorgeous smile.
On Friday I went to our school field to see him, the boys always practice on Friday.
I also saw that devil, he is now among our school footballers, I heard he is good, some say he is the best. I don't mind
"So what time do you think the party is starting," I asked Oliver
"Just come by 10," he said, he is all sweaty, but I think it's sexy, he went back to practice after our little chat
Again I involuntarily search for the devil, and sure he has his eyes on me looking furious, that can only mean one thing, he is going to bully me once he gets back. I gave him a hard stare and he just shook his head and continued his football.
"Devil" I muttered then left. When I got home mom and dad are already preparing to leave
"Where is Mavis" mom asked
"He is still in school, football practice," I said she gave me a nod
"We are going, tell him when he gets back, we will call you guys," mom said
"Be good and take care of him" dad said and they both left. The only thing on my mind right now is the party
"The cats away, the mice will play" I sang as I went to my room to prepare my dressing
"Oliver, you will be mesmerized," I said
"I strongly advice against this party," the devil warned me and I scoffed
"Good thing I never listen to you" I barked, he shook his head and gave me a pitiful look
"The boss will hear about it," he said, oh now he is threatening me
"You wouldn't dare, and if you do I will say its a lie, cause I have never done such before" I smiled, I know they will believe me
"Just..... Be safe" he said and went into his room, that left me dumbstruck, who is he
The devil never cared for my well being, but since am too excited to meet Oliver I waved it.
At 10 pm I heard a knock on my door, I know its Martha, mom, and dad already called to tell us they reached
"So baby girl, are you ready for the best night" I squealed as I opened the door, she looks amazing, wearing a red gown, she is putting on a wig, wow I never thought of that
It made her appear hot and matured unlike me that have my cornrows
"Don't worry I got you covered" she said and brought out another wig, I screamed, damn I love this girl.
She redid my make up, making me hotter, I now look like a superstar with my royal blue gown.
"Isn't Mavis coming?" Martha asked as we stepped out
"Nop, who would want that devil to come," I said and went ahead with Martha on my trail
When we got to the party its already a blast, we all came with our school ID that's the invitation to know you are our student.
"You sure took your time" I heard Oliver's voice, I shut my eyes to gather myself, then opened it
"Did you wait long" I turned, I heard Martha laughed at my comeback
"Am over there" Martha said and left us both, you see this is the reason I love her
Wow this is going to fun, I said as I took the drink Oliver offered me, am not such a good girl, my dad some times gives me alcohol so it's not a new thing to me, we both started talking, you can say we hit it off immediately.
"So you like the party?" He asked
"Hmmmm, too early to say," I said
"Then let me make you say," he said and took me to the dance floor, am so happy I think I will melt.
We have been dancing for like an hour, though I was holding back
Reason, because my best dance is twerking, I know it will give me a lot of attention but it will make me appear slutty, so I was just moving around,
"Come on dance harder" Oliver prompt me but I couldn't free myself
"Am thirsty can you get me something" I said and Oliver left to get me water, I took a deep breath
I search the crowd to see Martha dancing with Mike, he is our classmate,
People are busy dancing then it surprised me when I saw some guys smoking
Now this isn't what I pictured, I know parties that have smokers ends in a fight
Now I remembered the devils warning, suddenly I want to leave
"Cupcake" I heard his voice even in all this music, I turn to see the devil
"What are you doing here?" I asked, so he came even when he warned me not to
"No time to argue, let's go," he said with a firm voice, does he think am his property
"Am not going anywhere" I said, I don't want to be pushed around, he wasn't even listening cause he grabbed my wrist and dragged me out, I didn't want to create a scene so I went with him, I looked back to see Martha rushing behind us. I guess I will apologize to Oliver on Monday
"I forgot my purse," I said, I left it on the sofa I sat with Oliver, I tried to go back into the house, I got stuck when I saw Emma's parents drove in, now am glad the devil came for me
"Let's bail, the parents are here," I said, am glad am already outside the compound
"You slowpoke, isn't you ID in your purse," the devil said and I realize how much trouble I will be if the parents find it
"Are you with yours? " I asked Martha and she nodded
"Go home, I will take care of it," the devil said, I tried to object "now" he persisted and I ran home with Martha
I even have no other way to retrieve the purse and am so glad the devil came to my rescue
"Your brother sure saved the day," Martha said as we are going home
"Sure he did," I said as I fear what will happen if he gets caught.

Chapter 8

"The devil," he said, everybody turned towards him, I did too, the look he has right now
Scared me to the core, I have never seen him this angry, though he appears calm you can see the fury in his eyes
"Are you trying to teach me my job?" Chike barked, the devil said nothing, that's more frightening
He is not yet on his uniform, he is wearing a red T-shirt and black trouser, looking total badass.
The two is now on starring competition, only the devil can cause such a commotion on his first day
"Esther where is the food" I heard my teacher said, that's a relieve
"Here is it" I handed it over to her "just that Chike thought I came late," I said it purposely
"Didn't you explain things to him?" she asked looking at Chike, who has lowered his eyes
"I did," I said
"Am sorry, it was a misunderstanding" Chike said, the latecomers are now murmuring, am sure it's about the devil
"Come let's get to class," the teacher said and I followed her, I turn to see the devil visibly relax
He walked pass Chike and followed us, new students are always pardoned for coming late, am glad for him standing up for me, I will thank him for that,
I waited till break to approach him, I keep looking his way, he seemed relaxed, am sure Chike will be on his back, I also want to warn him about that.
"So, about this morning," I said trying to start a casual discussion with him
"Yes," he said looking amused
"Thanks," I said, I was standing beside his desk
"You think I did it for you?" he asked, I looked at him clearly confused
"Cupcake nobody has the right to bully you except me," he said with a smirk and it all made sense
To him am just a property, a plaything and the Alpha male in him won't let anyone bully me except him
"And I thought you are good," I said with closed teeth, he chuckled
"Cupcake, am not good, never good, am Mavis your devil," he said, making me regret coming so I left.

Everything moved on normally, except for the girls that kept bugging me to talk to the devil
"Come on, help me out" a girl from ss1 is bugging me, it quite tiring
"Why not go talk to him yourself," I asked her
"He hardly stops when someone approaches him," she said, that's what they all say
"Esther, the principal is calling you," Martha said to me, speaking of Martha she rarely comes to my house
"Is anything wrong?" I asked, she just shook head and left, so I ran along
"Come in," the principal said after the first knock, I saw Oliver too, he is here
"Sit down" I sat beside Oliver who gave me the sweetest smile, gosh he is perfect, not that devil why do I have to compare them
"I called you both here to talk to you about the post of prefect" the principal said
Cool my dream is coming true
"Yes," we both said
"I want Oliver as the senior prefect and you the assistant," he said, I wanted to squeal not because of being an assistant, but because I will work with Oliver
"Sure sir," he said, how respectful
"So I want you both to go and make plans on how to work, and also bring me names of candidates for other position," he said "though you will take up the post next term, I think it's better to tell you now," he said
Both Oliver and I were smiling
"Thank you, sir," I said and Oliver nodded
"You can now go," he said and we both left
"So, we are going to be working together," I said as I fiddle with my fingers
"Looks like it" he replied, giving me that killer smile, I refrained myself from moaning
"So when do we meet up to talk about it," I asked
"I don't know yet, I will get back at you, for now, let's get back to class," he said and we both walk back to class. I feel like his girlfriend already, but my bubble burst when I saw Chike approaching.
Now he has to spoil my happiness, I pretended like I didn't see him coming
I just kept walking along Oliver, in my mind am getting ready to trash him if he stops me
By trash, I mean to insult, but to my surprise, he walked past me, that's a first, no actually he has been doing that lately. It started on Monday, he came to school with some bruises
He saw me and walked past me, I thought he just didn't see me, he repeated it I thought it was a coincidence but it just happened again
That means something is up, but I don't mind am just glad he is off my back
When I came inside the class my eyes instantly went over to the devil, it's an involuntary action
It surprises me that I do it always, he is resting his head on his hand looking bored. I rolled my eyes and went to my seat, I will definitely gist Martha on the latest.
"Did you hear the latest" Martha whispered to me, she doesn't want to alert the teacher
Looks like she also has a big news
"What's that," I asked, leaning closer
"There is going to be a party this Friday" there is always a party but we never go,
"Its Emma, that is hosting it, his parents are traveling, and he said it is going to be the last party till they finish waec," she said excitedly, Emma is a senior, very rich background, always host parties, we always hear about the parties on Monday. I and Martha are determined to go one day
"So are we going to attend this one?" she asked, my parents are going to the village this Friday, so am free,
"Yes baby girl we are," I said and her eyes sparked up
"Good, cause everybody will be there, including Oliver," she said wiggling her eyebrows, I rolled my eyes and we focused on the lesson.
Am already thinking of what to wear and how to attract Oliver, I looked at him and he has his attention on the lesson, unlike the devil that looks bored.
Uuuuuh why do I keep comparing him with that devil, still I looked at him and he caught me and smiled, and winked, I froze and averted my gaze.

Chapter 7
When we got home, Martha left, though she promised to stay till evening
She barely looked at that devil, is she also frightened
"So here is our new home," I said
"Not bad, so where is everybody?" He asked
"It's Saturday, so mom is at the shop dad is at work, though he will soon be back"
Dad rarely go to work on Saturdays, he just nodded and worked around the house
"So where is my room?" he asked and I showed him, "thanks," he said and went inside
He shut the door, I think he is tired and wants to sleep,
so I went to my room too and locked the door
The devil is here now so I should keep my guard up.
I woke up later in the evening, I heard some noise, it seems everybody is back
"So Mavis, how have you been?" my mom asked, they are both in the kitchen
"Been cool," he said, he is helping her out, how come he is this nice to them
I left them to go chat up with dad in the living room
"Honey you're awake," he said
"Yes," I said rubbing my eyes
"When you start school on Monday, inquire how much is your school registration for a new student," he said, obviously for that devil
"Sure dad," I said and he focused on his news
"Time for dinner" my mom came out with the food followed by the devil
Our eyes locked and he smirked, I gave him a stink eyes,
I want to show him I have changed, so he will not think of bullying me
"Hmmm, I certainly missed your food boss lady," he said as he took the first scoop
"Am sure it missed you too" my mom said laughing
They all started eating and kept asking the devil random questions, mainly how he has been.
I have been excited about starting school, now am dreading it, I feel like the good things are about to end
After dinner I went to bed, he didn't try anything funny and am grateful for that
Now let's see how much I have changed, cause I am determined that he won't mess up my plans again.
School started happily, I said happily because Oliver is no longer with Amina
I have no idea what happened but I don't care as long as I have my chance
I already inquire how much for registration for that devil
Am surprised he still hasn't tried anything funny. I rarely see him at home
He always goes to watch ball or play, well it's better we stay out of each other's way
"So how is your brother," Martha asked, she has been asking about him since this week
"He is fine" I replied
"When will he be starting school," she asked and I looked at her suspiciously
"On Monday," I said, she just nodded "Oliver is single again," I said
"Yea, you now have your chance," she said shaking her head
"I definitely won't miss it," I said
"Hi Esther" I heard my name, then turn to see Chike, the disciplinarian
He has been after me since ss1, at first its just normal flirting but now it's becoming too much
And its annoying "what" I barked
"Calm your horses baby girl, I just want to ask you something"
"Ok, what," I said calmly
"Will you be free on Saturday, I want to take you out" he asked
"No" I replied quickly, a lot of guys have been after me, he is the most persistent
"Come on baby girl, I like you and you know it, just give me a chance and I will make you a big girl," he said with a smirk, I laughed at his comment, a blockhead like him
"I will pass," I said "come Martha let's go," I said to Martha
"You will regret this," he said after me, I ignored him and walked home with Martha.
The week flew pass like a breeze, its Monday again, I thought dad will drive me to school
Cause he will be registering the devil, instead he left and said my mom will do the registration
I left late because of that, my mom said they will be coming by 12, when I reached school I was already late, but the senior prefect pardoned me, I could see the disdain on Chike's face.
I don't care I just went to class.
Finally, the devil has been registered, he already brought his desk and chair
Though he didn't start right away, I could see all the girls eyes on him
He didn't even look shy or scared like a new student, in fact, he makes the old ones scared
Martha looks like she is about to wet her pants when the devil walked in to drop his desk
I have a feeling things will change with him here, he just winked at me when our eyes meet
He left without receiving any lesson. Almost every question I received from my classmate today were all about him, the girls were super excited for his return
I wonder if they have not learned their lesson, he literally snubbed them when we were in junior class.
"So are you excited about me starting school," the devil asked
"Just stay clear of my way" I barked he chuckled
"Come on, I live for your misery," he said, the memory of all he did came back
I closed my eyes to calm myself
"Things has changed," I said, am currently trying to cook something
"Not for me it hasn't" he walked behind me and sniffed me, sending chills down me
He walked back and pat my hair like a dog, "am off" he said and left
I stood still and curse myself on how my body reacted to his mere proximity
I made sure to avoid him the whole day. Even left school early tomorrow so I won't go with him
Our class teacher now send me on an errand, to buy her food when I came back I was held among the latecomers
"I went to buy food for my class teacher," I said trying to explain to that blockhead Chike
"You are just trying to escape the punishment," he said
"You can go ask the teacher, here is her food," I said showing him the food but he won't listen
"Of course I can let you go if you agree to my request," he said with a smirk, I rather receive the punishment
So I stretch out my hand for him to flog am tired of explaining myself
"Flog her and I will smash your head" I heard the devils voice
"And who are you"
"The devil"

Chapter 6
I help my mother on the weekends, today is Friday so I decided to go help her
Am not really needed much she has 3 sales girls
Just that, I am bored at home, and I get to have shortbread,
"Take this phone, the driver that will bring the goods will soon call," my mom said handing the phone to me
"Give him the direction," she said,
I now have a phone, though not an android, just normal phone for calls
Mainly my parents and Martha, people rarely call me
I wish I have an android, I would be chatting
"Hello" I picked the phone immediately it rang
"Cupcake" his deep tone came out, sending chills down me
"Why are you calling?" instantly my mood changed
"Why are you with boss lady's phone," he asked,
"Cause am waiting for someone to call," I answered
He chuckled "have you finally got a chance with Oliver"
He made me remember all the plans he ruined,
The hate I had for him resurfaced
"Why did you call," I asked
"To ask about things" he replied and I imagined him shrugging
"Things are fine, can you now hang up" my patience is now very thin
"Wait, do you know we hardly breathe with our two nostrils," he said
It surprised me, cause this is so unrelated to our discussion
But what surprised me most is that it's true,
Cause I blocked my right nose and it was difficult to breathe through the other
Showing I wasn't breathing with it earlier
"You just tried it cupcake," he said with a giggle
"No, I didn't" I don't want to give him the satisfaction
"Deny all you want the truth still remains," he said
"And you just placed your palm on your forehead"
How did he know I just did that
"How did you know?" I asked I looking around to make sure he is not back,
"Stop looking around," he said and I gasped
"I know it is what you do whenever you are frustrated, so it's easy to notice cause I frustrated you a lot"
"You devil," I said and he laughed, then I smiled, like really smiled, it lasted for a moment cause my sane part reminded me the devil he is, that moment another call came in, it must be the driver
"Bye," I said cutting him off, I never wanted to be this rude but I panicked
I panicked cause he scared me, I have never been scared of him
I just hate him, but today he scared me because he made me smile.
After the scary moment, my dream of him resurfaced
It hunted me for weeks, how can he have such power even when he is far away
After a while I forgot about it, the excitement of the new class helped
The school will soon resume, and I will be in ss2 then will officially hold a post in the second term
I woke up this night, to finish the novel I started earlier, am a sucker for a romance novel
It's titled "When lightning strikes" I love reading cause I imagine it to be Oliver and me
I was happy when I finished it, I heard a sound as I was about lying down
More like a conversation, my parents normally do it, this time I decided to go eavesdrop
"I pity him, he hardly shows his emotions and he has been through a lot" that's my dad's voice, I just stayed at a corner I can't see them, so they can't see me too
"I know, that's why it's better...... " my mom I couldn't hear her last words "we have already received calls from his aunt, it's becoming too much for her," she said
What are they talking about, I paid more attention even though it's wrong
"He used to be a happy boy, now he only pretends to be happy" he sighed, I can sense his sadness
Whoever they are talking about is quite special, I decided its a private matter and left them, I feel sad for the person, with that I slept off.
School is starting next week, I already got a new uniform, new sandals
Mom will help me with my hair next week on Sunday, so it will be new when I start on Monday
We are all at home its Sunday, my dad doesn't work and my mom leaves the shop for the sales girls
"So honey, your school starts next week" dad ask, yea he also calls me honey
"Yes" I answered absent-minded, am focused on the home movie
"Good, cause your brother will be joining you," he said and that got my attention instantly
"What" I screamed, and he chuckled
"Mavis is coming back," he said and my eye widened, my worse nightmare,
Then I remembered his promise before he left, that devil.
Sadly am now on my way to get Mavis from the junction
Since he doesn't know here, Martha is with me
"Don't worry he might have changed" Martha tried to console me
"Once a devil, always a devil," I said
"If he is still the same, it doesn't matter, cause you have changed," she said
It made me smile, I remember looking at the mirror this morning
Am really gaining weight in the right places, though I know that's not what Martha was talking about
"Yea, I changed, next tomorrow we start a new class and a step closer to prefect" I reasoned
Not that am really interested in being a prefect, I just want Oliver by my side
"You know he is still with Amina," she said, I rolled my eyes
"Yes I know, but I still have hope," I said, I felt chill, as I get closer to the junction
"We are here," Martha said after a while, I looked around hoping to see him,
I saw a tall guy leaning by the tree, his head is hung low he has a headphone on, so I couldn't see his face
But he looks badass with his jean jacket, I smiled then continued searching for the devil
"That guy is so badass," Martha said, I just gave her a nod
"I can't find that devil," I said to Martha, she just shrugged
"Then let's ask him," Martha said pointing at the badass, I smirked at her
She just wants a reason to talk to the guy
"Alright," I said and she moved quickly to the guy and I followed
"Hello," she said, I know the guy won't hear her, cause of the headphone,
But I hope he feels her presences, luckily he did cause he raised his head
My jaw dropped, he is the devil, he looked at Martha with a frown face
Martha is rendered immobile, cause I can see how stiff she is
"What," he said with his deep voice, then his eye caught me and his frown vanished
He gave me the cutest smile I have ever seen
"Cupcake," he said, and I can't help but think how devilishly handsome he is.
"Devil," I said, more like muttered, and once again he scared me.

Chapter 5
Everything has been perfect since the devil left
Though work at home seems more, I still love it
The holiday will soon be over I pray Oliver would still be our student
The devil calls from time to time, I always manage to escape talking to him
His voice will bring back memories which am fighting hard to forget
He is not coming back, even if he does I think things will be different
"Come honey" I heard my mom called, so I rush to her
"Here" she passes the phone over to me, I looked at her with narrowed vision
"Say hello to your brother," she said and a chill ran down my body
"Hello" I manage to utter, no reply, did the line go dead, that would be lovely
"Hello" I repeated just to be sure
"Hello Cupcake" his deep voice came through, you know, that type they write in novels
"Dev... Mavis"
"You wanted to call me devil" he chuckles, I just rolled my eyes
"Don't you dare roll your eyes on me cupcake" he said sounding amused
how the hell did he know
"Have you seen any school you like?" I asked ignoring his comment
"Sure, will be starting next week," he said in a bored tone
"We resume next week too"
"Don't miss me much," he said. As if I will
"Be good, over there," I said and looked at my mom, she is gone "devil," I said and hung up
"Mom here is your phone," I said as I entered their room.
"Good, sit down I want to tell you something," she said, hmmm I wanted some alone time
"What?" I asked pretending to be interested.
"We would be moving to our own house next month" she squealed and my eye widened
Since when do we have a house
"What do you mean"
"Your father has been building, a bungalow, even before he met me, it was sort of slow but steady, it's finally done." she said
"Wow" that's all I can say, nobody ever tells me thing in this family.
"So next month we move, and upper month I open a supermarket, we already save enough money." she said dreamily.
You see, as the devil left, good things happen, I pray he never comes back
Am not a bad sister.
Everything in my life is splendid, the devil is no more
Am now in ss1, and yes am still crushing on Oliver
I couldn't make my move cause he dating Amina
A girl in our class, but I have hope I know things will be fine
As long as the devil is no more, our new house is splendid
Four rooms apartment, I always describe it as cute
Am also super close with dad, but I just hate it when he brings up the devil
And in dads eyes, that devil is an angel
My mom's supermarket is now on the next level, I can't wish for a better life
It's been two years mom got married and no issue
Though dad is really not concerned mom is stressed
I know things will be fine, as long as the devil is not in sight.
"So girl have you given up on him yet?" Martha asked, she knows everything
"Nope, I will wait, you know all good things come to those who wait," she said the last phrase with me
"Soon our ss1 will be over and we will be a step closer to being the school prefects," she said happily
"Yes" am happy too, cause these present prefects bully's a lot, though not close to that devil
Being the most intelligent girl in school I might get the assistant prefect
Oliver is the brightest in both boys and girls, so he is definitely going to be the senior prefect
He is also good at football, so he might be the game prefect.
But if he becomes the senior prefect and I the assistant, that means I will have more time with him
I just have to study harder so I won't miss that post
"Look" Martha tapped me, showing me Oliver with Amina,
"Isn't he perfect" I drooled
"Are not jealous? he is with another," she said
"Nop" I answered, I don't believe one has to be jealous when such things happen,
I know he will be mine one day then why get jealous
"Sometimes I wonder the type of love you have," she said and walked past me
One day when she falls for someone, she will know I thought to myself then followed her,
We are on our way home

Chapter 4
"How?" I asked
"I told him to leave, that I will do his part," he said like he just did a good thing
"And once again you ruined my plan" I barked at him "you were the one that even made me late in the first place," I said, God just kill him
"I thought you would be happy that I relieved your crush," he said angrily, and I gasped, is it that obvious "well I relieved him, doesn't mean I relieve you, as a matter of fact, I just worsen your case," he said with a wicked grin
"What do you mean?" I asked nervously
"I mean, I won't help you out cupcake," he said, and my eye widened
"Then why did you make him go," I said as I felt the tears starting to warm up.
"Cause your misery happens to be my amusement," he said with a sinister smile.
"I will just go home," I said and he giggled
"Then you and your crush will be punished," he said nonchalantly,
"I will tell them, you are the cause"
"I will say that I tried to help, you forced me to go home and leave the work, that Oliver is a fool for leaving, I begged and you refused" he said looking at me, and I know that will bring more problem with Oliver, I bit my lower lips to hold down my tears.
"I never thought hating you more is possible, how wrong, cause I just did," I said as tears welled up
"Isn't that splendid cupcake," he said, then left me to clear the whole field, how much more will I take before I report him. I fear that if I report him, it might affect the happy marriage my mom has, cause our parents might be forced to choose sides. Besides, I have no evidence of what he is doing it to me.
Earlier I thought by now I will be in the arms of Oliver, now am alone clearing the field, my hand is already paining me, that devil will be at home by now done with his chores, God I hate him. I hate him more whenever people say he is handsome, I wish they can see pass his angelic face and see the devil he is.
The devil continued making my life a living hell, my Jss 3 is something I will never forget because of him, sometimes he won't play any prank on me, even up to a week, when I think he has forgotten all about me he will come at me with a bigger prank. Today is our last paper, I know this will be last chance to tell Oliver so am determined not to let it slip.
After the paper, everybody was jubilating, except the devil who is just standing and watching, he doesn't have friends, he doesn't want to, cause I hear stories of how he turned down girls that want to date him, even from the senior class, some even begged me to help them. I wonder what they see in him, they should just look past his handsomeness and see the ugliness in him. I search the crowd to see my Oliver and friends throwing sachet water at each other, some of the girls are included. I took my time to look at him, that's the guy I want to be with, he is good, humble and good looking, I know girls say the devil is the most handsome, I think they are all blind.
Oliver with his low cut, tall and dark, a smile that stops my heart every time, his red lips, I keep dreaming of kissing that lips, I want my first kiss to be with him. He is the light that I use to fight away that devil, though it's no longer working, I think the devil has dominated my thinking and every cell, I need to get closer to that light so that he will dispel the darkness. I started moving my feet towards Oliver, this is it, my last chance to tell him my mind, I fear he might reject me but I have hope he won't, even if he doesn't like me, he is such a gentleman that he won't turn me down cruelly, unlike a certain devil I know.
I stopped when the devil appeared in front of me, with his signature smirk
"Hello Cupcake," he said, then poured red oil on me, I felt it from my head as it went down my face and body
"Why?" I asked as I felt my heart tightened, tears are already coming up. I noticed the crowd go silent, that means all eyes are on me
He leaned down to meet my eyes "cause your misery is my amusement"
"I hate you," I said, it's visible in my eyes how much I despise him, he is cancer to me, "what did I ever do to you," I said with tears rushing down, he didn't say anything just looking angry, how have I offended him.
"The principal is coming" a student screamed, everybody took on their heels, I looked and saw Oliver leaving, my dream is once again shattered by the devil, I also left like everyone else with tears and so much hatred.
When I got home am already exhausted, I manage to bath, then went to my room, I brought out Oliver's picture like I normally do when I feel the devil winning
"How can someone be this wicked," I said, then I heard the door opened, it was the devil, I don't need to look up to know cause his presence is already giving me the chill, then I felt the bed deepened, he is on the bed, he rarely does that.
"When everything seems right, when your dream seems near that you just have to stretch your hand and grab it, when you have forgotten all about me, when your world is yours to spin" he placed his hands on my feet and I jerked it off, he disgusts me "then I will be back to change everything" he said then left. I didn't understand what he was saying but I know its bad, that something worse is coming, I cried myself to sleep. Instead of dreaming of Oliver I dreamt of the devil
When I woke up it was already 10 am, wow I slept all through,
its Saturday I wonder why nobody woke me
Not even the devil.
I slowly came out of the room,
mom will be busy in the kitchen by now
Dad will be gisting him, that's how lovely they are
I was surprised when I saw only mom in the kitchen
"Good morning mom"
"Finally awake" she mocked
"Sorry mom, was super tired," I said and sat at the kitchen stool
I normally clean the toilet and bathroom and my room,
Then the devil clean the sitting room and our parents' room,
I wash mom's cloth, he washes dad, so our duties are shared.
"Let me go clean up the toilet," I said as I stood up to leave.
"It is already been taking care off," she said, and it surprised me
"How?" I asked
"Mavis did all the cleaning last night," he said, that's impossible,
The devil has never made my life easy,
Now I remembered what he said yesterday, I got scared
And it amplified when I remembered the dream
"Where is he?" I asked as I felt my throat tightened,
"Honey he left," my mom said as she seasoned the soup.
Yea by this time he will be at the field,
So I decided to confront him when he is back
"Where is dad?" I asked as I didn't see him anywhere
"He is the one driving him there," she said, now am all confused
"Driving him where?" I asked, the field he plays ball is not far from here
So where did he drove him
"Thought he said he already told you everything," she said, giving me full attention
"Told me what"
"He is going to be living with his aunt from now on," my mom said and my eye widened
"He left this morning?" I asked
"Yes," she said sadly
"I thought it would be next week," I said, playing along,
That devil never told me anything. I looked down and took a deep breath
"Sorry honey, he left already" my mom patting my back
She thinks am sad, my happiness knows no bound
Finally, the devil is no more, I walked to my room to really breath in my freedom and happiness



A/N. The devil is gone, cupcake is now free

Chapter 3
"So how was your day kids," my mom asked after I greeted them
"Fine" the devil answered before me, not that I want to tell our parents everything.
"Come honey, let's go freshen up" dad said to mom, it's not even weird when I call him dad, and he has been super sweet to me, I have a feeling I might rely on him more than mom in the future.
"Sure boss, when you come out the food will be ready," the devil said again with an innocent look, I want to shred off that innocency and show people the devil he is.
"Go prepare their food, cupcake," he said to me, more like ordered me
"Am not your maid" I said, he laughed
"I never said you were, am just reminding you of your duty," he said and walked into the room.
I went to prepare the food since it's my duty actually, I wonder how much of his prank I can take before I spill.
Am running to school, our parents always leave very early, leaving us both, so he now went inside the bathroom and wasted a lot of time, he also hid my bag that I had to search for it, before I am done I was already late for school. He is such a devil, how can someone like this exist.
"You are to clear the field after school," the senior prefect told us, the late comers, I hardly come late, but the devil living with me made sure I did.
"Why is you bag dripping water," Oliver asked, and I froze as I heard his voice, it's always a melody to my ear
"Can't you hear me?" he said again and I turned to look at him, I didn't notice he is also among the latecomers
"What," I said sharply,
"I said your bag, is dripping water" he repeated then left, maybe I came out too sharply, I busted another chance with him, then I realized what he said, I pulled off my bag to check. It's truly dripping, I opened the bag to see a can of water in my bag, it's not covered tightly so it soaked my bag and books. My heart hurts, how can a brother treat his sister like this. What did I ever do to him.
I didn't even confront him, I cried so much already and confronting him will make me cry more, I looked at him, he is seated at the back, he is tallest and also one of the oldest, am 13 and he is 15, most guys fear him and he hardly makes friends. At first, I wanted to change that and make him socialize, but seeing the devil he is, it's better he is alone.
"Have you dried them?" Martha asked, I gave her a nod, it's already afternoon so most of it is dried
"Look at the bright side, you have Oliver to work with," she said and my mood lifted up, the prefect, gave me and Oliver a portion to work together.
"Maybe I will tell him then" I said and looked at his side, he is chatting with his guys, he is so perfect, not like the devil I know, I now looked at him, he is looking at the window, looking angry, is the window provoking him now, I rolled my eyes, then as I regain my vision he has his eyes on me, the angry expression is gone, he smiled at me and mouthed cupcake. I faced front for I know that's him devising another prank.
I left to clear the part after school, am already practicing what to say to Oliver and how I will accidentally push him down, with me on top him then lay one on him, I can already imagine what our wedding will be like.
"So can we start" I heard him say, he is here, time to put everything in motion. But first let's start clearing the bush
"Good," I said, I can feel my face heating up.
We are like new couples clearing their farmland, I love the way he held his cutlass, it's so manly, I focused on my work and thinking what to say. A chill ran over me, only one person gives me such chill, I looked up to see the devil talking to my Oliver, this can't be good
"Thanks," Oliver said, am confused, I didn't hear what he told him "I will be going, Esther, your brother is really cool," Oliver said and took off
"What did you do!" I barked at him
"Nothing, just relieved him of his duties cupcake," he said

Chapter 2
When we came home the house was empty, always is by this time if the day,
my mother still works in the bank, my new dad works as a manager in a beer distributing company,
they plan to save up and open up something for mom so she will quit the bank job
"So what are we going to eat cupcake?" the devil asked, I kept him quiet am still mad at him, am always mad at him
"Oh, are you still mad cupcake?" He asked, seeing him now people will think he is a good boy
"Let go of me devil," I said with closed teeth
"Come on that was an accident," he said, I don't want to report him to our parents cause he behaves in front of them, and he makes everything he does to me, look like an accident.
"Come on I bet the boss left some money for us," he said.
It surprising he never calls his father dad but boss,
even their relationship seems like friends, not dad and son,
he left to go check where our parents leave money
"Found it," he said, waving the money on my face "so what will you eat?" he asked, he's mostly good at home, I said mostly.
"I would like noodles," I said, he just nodded and gave me my share of the money
I didn't bother asking him what he wants, I just went to my room, more like his room,
he always allows me to change first before coming in to change, he still has his stuff here.
Am cooking now and also making a call, am speaking with Martha,
the only one that knows of my feelings for Oliver, the phone is from our parents,
we use it to call them in case of emergency, mom will be mad if she sees me cooking and making a phone call
"So how did the conversation went?" she asked, she knew of my plans to talk to Oliver
"Ruined," I said and she gasped
"How?"
"By my devil brother," I said as I squeeze the spoon am holding, am waiting for the noodles to be done.
"Are you not done with the noodles," he said as he entered the kitchen, I guess it's true what they say, speak of the devil and he appears.
"How is that your business," I barked at him
"Cause I want to boil water, cupcake," he said with a smirk
"For the last time, am not cupcake," I said and stomped off,
"I hate him," I said to Martha
"That's what brothers do," she said trying to sympathise with me.
"Call me later, mom needs her phone." she said, yea, she uses her mothers' phone
"Alright," I said and cut the call as I went back to check my noodles,
The devil is already standing by the corner drinking tea, he drinks tea a lot so I don't need anybody telling me it is his favourite. I gave him a stink eye and dished out my noodles.
I left the kitchen for him since his presences turn my tummy,
I went to my fortress, my room. I breathe in and out and took a few seconds to calm my nerves and flush out the devil from my thought, I always use the fantasy of Oliver to flush him out, works always.
"Now noodles, time to face demolition." I said and smiled, but my face changed as the first spoon has more salt in them than seawater,
How can noodles have salt, then it struck me, the devil did it. I rushed out to give him a piece of my mind but he already left, no doubt to play football, we don't always wash our uniforms, but today I have to.
I threw away the noodles, in a way my mom won't see it,
I then took money from my savings to buy another, I don't want soup
Am not angry much, am happy I have some time alone, after washing my uniform and eating,
I brought out a picture I took with Oliver, it was our Jss 2 when we played King and Queen in our party
I smiled as I look at his perfect face, he might have been mine today if the devil didn't ruin it. Well, there is always another day.
"The bosses are home" I heard the devils voice, he was nudging me, I must have fallen asleep while thinking of Oliver
"Good evening boss," he said to his dad
"Good evening boss lady," he said to mom, how can he show them all his good side and me the bad side.

Accidental Brother.
Chapter 1
Here is my question. Do you believe in a soulmate? you know, someone you are created for, someone that gives you both the butterfly and electricity, that one person you can proudly call your other half. Yea, I so believe in a soulmate, I mean its the best kind of love. You can see how beautiful it is from Romeo and Juliet, forget the fact they died young, but come on it's because they know they can't go on without each other, that's the power of soulmate. So imagine how bad it is for me to have all this soulmate vibe from my brother, my step brother actually, looking at it I think it's better to fall for the enemy than family. At first it wasn't like this, at first I hate him to the bone, he is a bad bully, he should've been born a bull, but with recent event things change and I find myself irresistibly attracted to him, I just can't shake away the fact that I see him as my soulmate. Well before you call me incest, sit back and let me tell you the story, I will start from the beginning, I mean before the beginning, not before I was born but before I started falling for him. So Am going to start from 3 years ago when I first encountered him, I have known him longer than that, but it was four years ago he came into my life.
FLASHBACK
"Come on honey, we are already late" my mom called,
"Am done" I said popping out of the one room we live in, wearing the blue gown she bought me, it fits like a glove, she is also wearing a blue gown but different design
"Aww, you look good honey," she said, I smiled
"Thanks, mom, but my name is Esther." I demanded, she just smiled and wave it off
"Come let's go," she said leaving and I followed her. We are going to meet her date, she separated from my dad three years ago, and it is good, my dad is an alcoholic so the court gave me to mom, she is now dating, am going to meet the man today, I know he makes my mom happy, I may be 13 years old but am matured enough to know love.
"Finally we meet." the man said, he is tall, handsome and matured,
I like him already, he looks like the playful type "Am Bright Okafor" he introduced himself
"Am Esther Charles" I said smiling, he now ushered us inside but not before giving my mom a wink.
We sat down and started eating, I made sure to eat to my satisfaction, it's not every day I get this opportunity.
"My son will soon be here," he said, to my mom, wow does that mean he is also divorced or widowed, well it's not in my place to ask, am not a curious person
"You will know him," he said to me,
"How?" I asked
"He attends the same school you do," he said
"In fact the same class," my mom said, I searched my mind but no one popped up,
apart from my crush Oliver, he is the dream of every girl, intelligent,
he put the word gorgeous to shame, I pray he is not the one he is talking about, though I want a relationship with Oliver, not a family relationship,
so I keep my fingers crossed and hope it is someone else.
After a while, I heard someone call from behind me
"Miss me, boss"
"Here he is, the thug," Mr. Bright said, motioning my back so I turned to see who
Luckily for me, it's not Oliver, but the new student who started this term with us,
I can't remember his name, but I know he is older than most.
He froze when he saw me, his smile faded
"You," he said, then walked and sat beside his father, I just wave, I want to be polite
"Yes, say hello to your new sister" Mr bright said, and we all gasped
"I know, it's a surprise to you, but I know we can make it work, can you accept me as your husband," he said to my mom, as he shows her a ring,
She looked at me, with her hands clasping her lips, I smiled showing my support then she looked at Mr. Bright
"Yes," she said with tears, he then slipped the ring in her finger, it fits like a glove.
My new brother who am yet to know his name started clapping so I did, he looked at me
and smile, but I could see sadness hidden in it, I shook it off since it's not possible
The marriage went by fastly as if he already made all necessary arrangement,
even before he proposed, I didn't get to spend much time with my brother,
His name is Mavis, everybody in our school knows he is my brother now
Though we have a different surname, he is Okafor and I bears the name of my father, Arinze
He hardly speaks to me in school, after the marriage my mother and I left the one room we live in and moved into Mr. Bright 2 rooms apartment. He shares one room with my mother, I have the other room, which originally belongs to Mavis, he willingly gave it to me and now sleeps in the palour.
Mr. Bright promised that he will soon find a suitable apartment.
Am currently building up the courage to go talk to my crush Oliver, I already practiced what to say
"Can I talk to you?" I said nervously then he turn giving me that killer smile
"Go ahead," he said and I almost moaned at the sound of his voice
Before I can say my next word I felt a chill on my back, it ran down to my butt
"Oops, you wet yourself, cupcake" I heard my demonic brother from behind me,
I turned seeing him holding bottle water, he just poured water on me, did I forget to mention he makes my life a living hell, and I can't even report him to our parents cause I don't want to cause quarrel and make them choose sides.
"Am coming" I heard Oliver called after his friends and left me after giving me a mocking look
It took me a lot of courage to stand before him, now my brother shattered my hope
"Why do you keep tormenting me?" I asked with closed eye trying my best not to cry
"Cause it's fun, cupcake" he whispered to my ear
"And for the last time, my name is not cupcake, devil," I said with close teeth then walked away
Cause I know I can't keep down my tears for long, I don't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry
"Neither is my name devil," he said to me, I kept walking since am already crying, I heard him giggle and that made me hate him more, he is truly the devil.

Chapter 9

"You think Peter is all you paint him out to be" Paul barked at me, I came hear to confront Paul, to tell him the hideous crime he committed, how Peter told me and how Peter is a better man.
"This godliness, this perfect man image you have for Peter, he is the opposite" he said, I thought I will have the upper hand, but he's here telling me things I never knew was possible.
"Right I fed you the viagra, who did you think brought it, he knew because its his expertise" he said, for the very first time am having an image of a very different Peter.
"Am the product of Peters handiwork, after all am by nature the little brother that follows his brothers footsteps" I was beyond shocked by the words of Paul, I feel the greatest betrayal. I felt him hold my hand.
"Please, let's terminate it, I just got an email yesterday night that I have gotten the scholarship, I will tell my parents tonight, Peter haven't gotten a reply which am not sure if he will get it" he brought out an envelope and brought out the scholarship letter "here is it, I just came back from printing it out I will show it to my parents today when they come back" he sighed "for the very first time I have gotten something before Peter, you telling my parents about the pregnancy will ultimately result in nullifying of the scholarship" he said breathing hard. I stared at him, I felt pity for him, I remembered how his face always lit up when he talks about the scholarship, I feel bad for being his obstacle, I sighed and left. This is certainly a predicament, one thing is am not aborting it, I just have to figure things out on my own.
Its already evening my parents will soon be home, I wish I can pause time and spend forever today, I walked home slowly, its just a stone throw but I took my time.
"Tonia" I heard the ever so familiar voice called, I looked up and saw Peter, for the very first time I feel hate towards him, so all this was just a mask hiding his true nature.
'Am the product of Peters handiwork, after all am by nature the little brother that follows his brothers footsteps' I remembered Paul's word, in a way we are both victim of Peter's way of life. For the fact I stupidly expected too much from him, it made it easy to blame everything on him. I walked up to him
"I hate you" I said and walked pass him, and yet again he didn't follow or call instead I heard his footstep walking away, he is really wicked, I thought as tears slipped from my eyes.
I slept off before my parents got home, luckily my parents isn't the type to disturb you while you sleep, I did heard them get in but I was too weak to stand up, the last thing I heard before drifting off to sleep was the loud celebration coming from Peters house. I guess Paul have told them the good news.
I woke up again with a bitter pile coming up my throat, I rushed to the toilet to throw up, I wonder when it will stop, after flushing I came out only to be face to face with my mom and I froze.
"Since when" she asked in a low threatening voice, its more dangerous than when she was asking my elder sister.
"Four weeks" I said lowering my gaze, I readied myself for the scream that will alert the whole neighborhood.
"Who is responsible" she asked once again in a low voice, that's unexpected making me anxious. Instead of talking since I lost my voice, I pointed towards the direction of Peters house.
"Dress up, we're going there" she said and left my room, I then let go the breath I never knew I was holding.
I dressed up and refuse to think about any scenario, I walked out my room and saw the angry look on my father's face, he kept tapping his feet.
"I regret having 2 daughters" he said and left followed by my mother, this is the first time my father ever said something like that and it just scarred me, I followed them with a broken heart.
My dad banged at Peter's gate, it was on the third bang that they opened the gate. It was Paul, his eyes widened, he must have figured why we're here.
"Go get your parents boy" My dad said in a commanding tone, making Paul cower.
"OK sir" he said, but before taking a step his parents came out, still in their nightwear. They noticed something was off with the look in my parents face.
"Come inside" Paul's father invited us in, every of my footstep is heavy, Paul walked behind me. My father jumped straight to the point once we got inside no pleasantries exchanged, I looked up with tears and saw Lydia looking at me with pity.
"So tell us who is responsible" My Mom asked, I looked around and saw Paul, he's already vibrating, I remembered what he said yesterday, my heart broke for him, everybody was present except Peter. Truly his the black sheep.
"Didn't you hear me" my mom asked again this time his voice a bit raised making me flinched, I sobbed, I raise my head to point at Paul, he looks like he is now half his formal size, the moment I raise my hand Peter walked out.
"Its him" I said point my finger at Peter instead, Lydia gasped, "its Peter" I said with much hatred, afterall its his careless life that Paul imitated that got us here, so he should take the responsibility. Everybodies head turn towards him.


A/N: I will stop here so if you're interested to see the end of the story and know what happened to Tonia, Peter and Paul chat me up then.

Chapter 8

"You're" he said so sure I lost every zeal to argue.
"He told you" I said barely above a whisper.
"No, I figured" he said and I looked at him inquisitively "when u came yesterday, you instinctly covered your stomach when I opened the door" I never knew I did it "today again you did the same thing" he looked behind me, it made me look too, but no one was there "also Paul was weird when he came home, he looked terrified, even as he tried to hide it, I picked it up" he said with a shrug.
"So you're able to pick all that" I said
"Yes, and immediately I said the word pregnant, your dementor changed" he said, so I confirmed it for him.
"For a guy that have no interest in things, you do notice a lot" I said with a sad chuckle and felt a tears escape my eyes.
"Walk with me Tonia" he said, in normal situation I would be happy, euphoria, but now, happiness is a far fetched feeling for me, so I just walked alongside him still gloomy.
"Its not the end of the world you know" He said as we slowly walk, I have no idea where we're going, but he always have this pull that makes me follow whenever he leads.
"Its funny you promised me everyday challenge, but ended up having the challenge of a lifetime" he said, I still kept quiet, how the table turns, today am the quiet one. We just silently walked both lost in thought, but still rely in each others company.
After a while we arrived at a serene location, I looked around it seem like a football field, I could see the two goal post, some part of the field have grass on it, I saw empty benches. Nobody except us is here.
"Come let's go seat over there, the tree will provide perfect shade for us" he said point to the left, we went and sat down.
Nobody comes here by this time, so I always come here to let my mind romp to infinity collection of reality " he said, am not surprised.
Am more surprised his here with me, keeping me company, I keep wiping my tears refusing it to fall, it falling is me accepting reality, am not ready yet.
"He wants me to abort it" I finally said "he wants me to end like my sister" I said every word hurts, its like am being force to swallow a stone, for the fact am refusing to cry this is the consequences.
"Before we packed in here, my sister got pregnant for a Corper, everyone knew of their relationship, the Corper was responsible" I sniffed "but when my sister got pregnant, he revealed his true nature and asked for abortion, I don't really know much of the details, I just remembered waking up at the sound of my mom shouting at my sister" I remember that day vividly "my mom was shouting asking her who is responsible, in her anger she never knew the thin walls wasn't enough to prevent her voice from travelling, especially when the night was so peaceful and any sound would be heard from miles" I said, I know it was wrong for my mother to shout like that, she also have to be blamed for playing the part "after my sister confessed its the Corper, when we visited him in the morning he is already gone and no where to be found, that was when my sister realised he knew nothing about him, worse everybody in the neighborhood around knew about the pregnancy" I said as I exhaled, Peter is silent,the only sound I hear is the sound of his breathing and birds chirpings.
"To cut the story short, my sister couldn't stand the embarrassment and pressure from my parents, she took an abortion pill, but it back fired and she ended loosing her life" I said feeling the pain more.
"Now, am in the same situation" I said wiping the tears again.
"Am sorry" he said, that's all he did, I don't know what I was expecting, but I need more. For wanting more and getting less I got angry.
"I wouldn't have been in this situation if I wasn't hellbent on finding you" I shouted at him, the surprise look on his face was priceless "maybe if I was at home or if I did find you, I wouldn't have had a sudden urge for a man touch" now am crying, did I just accept the reality "or if you were present while the uncontrollable urge came, you would've stopped me, for you're the better one" am sure of it, like he said here makes your mind romp to infinity collection of endless reality.
"Did you just said urge" he asked, off all the things I said he picked this out, not even called the better one, I relaxed and wiped my tears
"Yes, it started as a slight sensation, I kept drinking to quell it down, instead it burns hotter, I was uncontrollably in need of a man touch" I said feeling embarrassed saying the last part.
"Pitiful" he said, I glared at him " you were fed viagra" he said
"What's that" I asked,
"Its an aphrodisiac drugs, it makes one..." He tried to explain
"I know what aphrodisiac means" chill crept all over my body, should I be happy I was drugged will my uneducated mother understand. Or should I be mad for easily falling a victim.
"I have to go" I said and walked away, I need to confront Paul about it, as I left Peter didn't call me back or follow, that's typical Peter.

Chapter 7

I got Paul's message, am now standing at their door knocking, I hope nobody's home. I watched the door slowly opened
"Tonia" Peter said in his ever bored tone, my legs got stock
"Is...Paul.... In" I stuttered, even now, even in this situation he still have his effects.
"Paul" he called and walked pass me, I guess he's going out, his fingers slightly brushed against my skin sending jolt of tings up my body.
"Looks like someone misses me" Paul came out wearing his signature smile, I woke up from my delirium and walked up to him.
I turned and watched Peters back as he move further away, the door slowly closed and I heaved a breath, I turned to Paul. Even now I regret what I did with him, not because of the pregnancy, but because I feel nothing for him.
"Am pregnant" I dropped it on him like a bombshell, he also deserved to get his heart race up like I did.
"What!" He screamed and I fear it reached the whole neighborhood.
"Am pregnant" I replied in a monotone.
"It can't be, we we only did it once" he said feeling frustrated
"Once is enough" I said, my face devoid of any emotions
"What makes you so sure" he said.
"Missed my period and also took a PT strip test this morning"
"Not convinced" he said, he rushed inside and came out with his cloth
"Blood test is needed too" he said dragging me out by the hand, he locked the doors and we went straight to the hospital, while on the bus he kept fidgeting, I just kept calm and watch the scenario.
After a while we got to the hospital, and got a card, he was so convinced its a lie.
"You think you will pin me down with this" he said as I came out from the test section, am pressing my elbow to stop the bleeding.
"What do you mean" I asked
"You want to hold me down with this pregnancy fallancy. You figured since I stopped calling you want me back" he said sounding sure, it made me laugh, literally.
"You think so" I wonder what gave him that idea.
"Yes, cause for a pregnant teen you sure look calm" he said.
"Behind this calmness is a raging storm" I said, and truthfully there is, I sat down, taking it as a cue to shut up, he did as we patiently wait for the result.
What felt like 30 minutes I got my result, I turned the nurse out immediately I heard her say
"You're pregnant"
Truthfully I was hoping for the test result to be different, I slowly stood up and came outside, I took my result with me.
"What did it say" Paul asked as I came out, I kept silent and kept walking, am not thinking straight, he took the result from me and opened.
I heard him gasped, that's the only thing I heard for I left him and went home, how do I explain this to my mother. I slept the whole day, am in utter state of confusion, I ignored all his call, I feared he might come to my house but he didn't.
"Come over to my house" this was the text I received from him when I woke up in the morning, after my parents left, I went to their house, am already four weeks gone, am not feeling self conscious, I vomited again this morning, I heard in the fourth month my tummy will start pushing out.
"Terminate it" Paul said once I got to his house, I was surprised, I anticipated it, when a teenager gets pregnant, she's expected to abort it, especially when the one responsible is also a teen.
"Not happening" I said, I vowed not to make the same mistake my sister made, now am in the same predicament like her, the best thing to do is not follow her footstep.
"You're not serious" Paul said in a cold voice that send shiver up my spine, but not enough to make me change my mind.
"Am not joking" I said trying to equal his coldness too. He glared at me, so did I, noticing nothing good is going to come from me being here I stood up and left.
Just a meter to my house I saw Peter, I froze and instinctly folded my arms in other to cover my tummy, he looked at me from head to toe, never have it happened before, he slowly walked up to me and stopped a feet away.
"You're pregnant" he said, not a question, he said with all certainty.
"What" I blared at him. My heart have picked a faster usual beat.

Chapter 6

I made sure to avoid the two brothers, it was easy for Peter since he never cared, but harder for Paul, I regret giving him my number he kept calling, when he figured am avoiding the call he started texting. I never read any of the text since the only one I read was him telling me how he enjoyed me. Disgusting, after our jamb it got easier to avoid Paul, a week later he got the hint and stopped texting, I stopped going to their house I had to lie to Lyd that I've been busy. Though I ignore them I still peek from my window to know if I can catch a glimpse of Peter. My only joy is the fact I made my jamb, I learnt from Lydia that the twins passed, am not surprised.
"You have been awfully quiet" my mom said getting my attention which was outside watching Peter talking with his father.
"I never noticed" I said, truthfully I've been feelings feverish, and sometimes nauseatic, am hoping it will pass with time, I returned my attention to the window but frown when I saw no one.
"I will be going" my mom said and I waved her, she's going back to her restaurant, she banned me from coming after my sister's incident, am even glad I never liked going, those tout keep throwing passes at me. I went to my room to sleep that's all I've been doing lately.
I woke up this morning with a sudden urge to vomit, I rushed to my bathroom, thank God I have my own, I threw up my last night dinner, now liquid. My breathing got heavy, this is the second time this weak, not to mention am always dealing nauseatic. Epiphany hits me like a hot water all over my body.
"No it can't be" I muttered, my mom will kill me, I realise am also a week late, my throat tightened as my heart beat got faster, my brain went in overdrive yet not really thinking up a solution, this is a total state of worry.
I came out as calm as I can, the last thing I need is making my parents suspicious, I acted cooly at least till they both leave. I calmly waited for them to leave, I went straight to the pharmacy to buy the PT strip, I felt shy buying it for its my first time.
"First time?" The pharmacist asked me, she noticed
"Yea" I replied not looking at her, thank God its a lady, she chuckled.
"Its better to use it in the morning, your first urine" she said, then I looked at her
"That's when you get the best result" she said I nodded and left without a word "don't worry too much, its not the end of the world" she said as I got to the door, I inhaled,
"Its not the end of the world" I muttered and left, I just have to wait till tomorrow.
I was almost awake for the whole night, I slept around 3 am and woke by 6 am, am so nervous, am current in my bathroom, my urine is in a container. Maybe I shouldn't do this, maybe if I keep acting oblivious everything will be alright. I stood for about 30 minutes, that's how long it took me to make a decision, I decide to carry on the test, its not the end of the world I remembered the woman's word.
I closed my eyes as I wait for the lines to appear, what felt like five minutes I opened my eyes only to be faced with my worse nightmare,
"Its double" I muttered as I slumped down, double means positive, am pregnant, it kept repeating in my head, and just like that I found myself in the same situation as my sister. I rushed to my phone, went to my contact list and dialed Paul's number, after the third ring and he didn't pick up I decided to send him a message.
"WE NEED TO SEE, ASAP" I sent him, I walked out of my room and still act like nothing happened, before anything I need to speak with Paul, for he is responsible, I wiped my tears as it threatened to drop.
"Its not the end of the world" I muttered.

Chapter 5

Paul kept me company and I felt sad for him, for even as he's here trying his best to please me, I use every opportunity I have to look for Peter.
"You looking for Peter right" he asked with a moody tone, I felt bad, I still nodded.
"Sure, I will take you to him" he said and my face lit up "that's when you're done with your drink" he said, I looked at my drink, realizing I've only took one sip, I decided to gulp it down.
"Slowly, else I feel sad that you want to get rid of me" he said, I decided to oblige him by drinking slowly.
"Good, let's walk as you drink, for it might be my last good memory with you" he said smiling, I looked at him, he instantly looked more matured, and brighter, maybe I would've fallen for him had I first met him, I smiled and and he return the gesture.
"Peter have always get things easily, he never really tried" he said, as we walk slowly "we will soon be sitting our jamb, I know for Peter, its just to fulfill all rights, for he will surely get his scholarship" he said, his voice was mixture of admiration and envy. I took his hands and squeezed it.
"You also will get it, I know, nobody works harder than you" I said, its true, while Peter appears lazy and I have never seen him tried in anything, I always see Paul struggle to make himself better than he was.
"You're an embodiment of hardwork" I said and he smile, he looked at our intertwined hands, and back to me
"Let's go" he said not leaving me, I decided to go along, I dropped my empty cup, as I felt a slight sensation burning in my stomach, at first I thought its the excitement of seeing Peter.
As time goes on I found out its not the excitement, I felt my hand squeezing tighter to Paul's hand as the sensation burn throughout my whole body, he led me to Peters room.
"Here is his room" he said, spreading his free arm, at this point am more in tune with the throbbing am feeling, I moan a little as I claps my legs together, I know what the burning desire is.
"Are you alright" Paul asked looking concerned, I looked at him, why here, with him, the room is dark that serves as invitation, why here and why him why now, I squirmed, I want to leave my brain wants me to leave but every fibre in my body is burning for one single desire, a man's touch.
"Tonia" he said coming closer, like he wants to inspect what's wrong, I felt his warm breath fans my face, I inhaled, what started as a slight sensation is now a burning desire for a mans touch.
"Are you..." I sealed his mouth with a kiss, I let myself go on him, am not a virgin but my heart is telling me to stop but the desire burns stronger, like a dog in heat. I felts him move in sync with me, he stood straight as I let him guild me since he knew the room the most, I felt myself hit a soft surface, bed.
I guess no going back since I felt my hand unlocking his shirt, he moans as my finger graze him, I can still hear the music from outside, I wish someone will barge in and stop this cause on my own am weak against my canal desire.
"What a funny turn out of event" he whispered
"Shut up, and get to it" I said trying to cut any pride he's getting since it doesn't seat right with me,
"With pleasure" he said as he moved inside me, I felt a tears slide out from my eyes, with each movement I felt myself closer to exploding,
"Peter" I moaned, I felt him stop only to dig deeper, he's angry, he changed he got faster and the more he goes the more I near my explosion. Not long after I felt the desire died down, what made me had such a burning desire is still unknown and never have I had such before, our cloth was still on us, I stood up immediately and arranged myself and head to the door. Should be thankful that nobody came or should I be sad. One thing for sure is am sad about what happened.
"Where does this leave us" I heard him said as I near the door, I stopped but didn't turn to him
"Its nothing, its a one time mistake, not happening again" I said and left not wanting to hear any of his word again, am trying my best not to cry, am feeling disgusted
"Tonia" I froze as I heard my name, its Peter, I can recognise the voice even from a deep sleep, I turned to look at him. He have his innocent look, like he's not of this world, I couldn't bring myself to talk to him so I turned back and left as quick as I can.

Chapter 4

"So are you ready for today's challenge" I said, to Peter as we walk home, today is Friday so no lesson till Monday, and we will write our jamb next 2 weeks.
"Sure" he said not sounding excited. I used last night to browse all difficult riddles, I know for someone that sees nothing as challenge he wouldn't want to loss at anything, so making him crack his brain to answer my riddles will be challenging.
"What goes up and never comes down" I asked, he giigled
"Riddles, seriously" he said looking at me, I nodded vehemently
"Age" he answered, it shocked me, if not for the fact I researched it I wouldn't have answered it, at least not this fast.
"Am second in heaven, first on earth, middle of the sea, appear twice a week, once a yea and never in a month" I asked, he looked at me, I can't decipher what he's thinking
"Letter E" he answered, its not even a challenge. I kept on with the riddle and he answered it all, I felt sad, I promised to give him a challenge, it turns out I failed at it.
"Am sorry I didn't give you the challenge I promised" I said as we get to the door, he smiled
"Thanks for trying though" he said and left, I went inside so weak, I won't be seeing him till Sunday at the party.
For the whole weekend I kept looking out my window to know if I can catch a glimpse of him, I didn't, imagine my joy when their mother came with Lydia asking me to help them in cooking.
"So I get to see you" Paul said as he came to where am slicing carrot, today is the party so they're cooking, lots of neighbours are here to help out, my mom included.
"I have been busy" I said, its been long I hanged out with him, truthfully he's the one always coming at me.
"Yea, busy with Peter" he said, I sense the hostility in his voice.
"Can't we talk later am a bit busy now" I said, he then stood up
"Sure" he said and left, I came here to see Peter and not get interrogated by Paul, unfortunately, they said Peter went to the Village with his father since Saturday and not yet back. That explained why I haven't seen him
"I wish I get to dance with Peter today" a girl said, she is slicing the cucumber, I shot glares at her, luckily no one noticed
"Keep dreaming" another replied "I even came here hoping I could see him" she said, so am not the only one with that mindset.
"Girls I advice you girls forget that dream, all the girls that crushes on Peter ends up with Paul" Lydia said, we the young ones are in charge of making salad.
"How" I asked. I don't see myself ending up with Paul.
"Peter have zero interest with women, and Paul is also handsome and have time for women, so when the girls sees they can't have Peter they then settle for Paul" she said, it made sense but that doesn't mean I will settle for Paul.
"Are sure he's not gay, peter I mean" Tonia, yea my namesake, she's nothing like me though, she is the street gossip
"No, he is not, you girls are just not up to his standard I guess" Lydia said, she really see Peter as Alien, I smiled as we all focused on our work.
After the food we all went home to prepare for the party, Peter was not yet back when I left. I fall asleep and woke up at the sound of music blaring off from the speaker, the party have started, I quickly rush and took my bath, dressed up in a simple but nice outfit.
I walked over to their house, a lot of people are here, mostly elderly, I went inside to find Lydia, its already 5 so am guessing she have cut her cake, I saw nobody inside, its as if the teenagers are having the party elsewhere. I then decided to go to the backyard and if I see no teen I will go home. Luckily I found them, my eyes caught on Lydia, easy she's the most dressed and very beautiful, she came to me.
"Thought you are not coming any more" she said with a frown
"Sorry, I dozed off" I said, handing my present to her
"What's this" she asked
"A novel" she always read, so I decided to buy her one, she gasped as she saw the title
"Family. By Mario Puzo, I have always wanted to read another of his novel after reading the Godfather" she said, am so glad she love it
"Best present" she said and moved to show her friends, I then search to see if I can catch a glimpse of Peter, unfortunately I saw Paul walking towards me.
"Hi" he said handing a red cup filled with red wine inside it, he also have his own.
"Hi, I don't take alcohol" I said
"Its just juice wine, non alcoholic" he said I then took it, and sipped, its just sweet wine.

Chapter 3

My relationship with Lydia's family got deeper, our family now considered family friend I spend my time there, luckily I started my jamb lesson, Peter and Paul also goes to the same study center.
Paul is really a charmer but not enough to charm me, though he keeps trying, I learnt he persuaded his brother Peter to write a scholarship exam, if they get it that means they will travel overseas to study. As I got closer to them I learnt more about Peter, even Paul says it's as if he's from another world, nothing really interest him, he's like a whole mystery and it makes him more attractive and irresistible.
"So your brother left already?" I asked Paul as we walk home together,
"Yea, I'm sure he will be home by now." he answered, he leaves before us every day, and when I get home he will still not be there, he leaves home immediately he arrives.
"He's really mysterious" I said absentmindedly and I heard him scoff.
"You really are a pretty girl don't waste your time on him." he said I looked at him and he winked, getting to know Peter I no longer doubt his sister's theory of asexual.
When we got home, I went up to my house, not really up to spending more time with Paul, I thought I could spend time with Peter also by hanging out with Paul, my plan didn't work.
"You spend too much time with that boy." my mom said as I entered the house and I sighed, I guess she saw us through the window.
"He's my friend, besides he also go to the same study center." I said dropping my bag
"I hope it's nothing more than that" she said entering inside her room, I don't blame her after my sisters accident she has been watchful of who I hang out with, I went to my room also.
My mom warning served as a wake up call, it's time to stop this stupid infatuations I have for Peter, even though he's dropdead gorgeous, I fawned as I remembered his cute face. Even with his mean face and strict behavior he still can't hide his pretty face.
"Get a hold of yourself" I said and then brought out my book to study.
I made sure to start avoiding Paul, though he's being persistent I managed, I made it point of duty to leave very early, so before Paul can finish his usual chatter with friends I'm gone.
"Peter" the word left my mouth as I saw Peter walking ahead, my resolve to avoid boys failed me again as my legs pushed me forward to catch up with him.
"Peter" I called as I got near him
"Hi" he said, he never called my name, I've never seen him call anybody's name except Paul and Lydia. Even in class he doesn't associate, if not for the fact that I steal glances at him and made it my business to know him I won't notice him in class.
"You always leave early" I said as a matter of fact he just shrugged. I have this surge within me to please him, thank God his walking slowly so I don't have to chase after him.
"Paul told me about the scholarship Exam you sat" I said
"Did he" was his only reply, normal boys will drag the discussion, but him he just doesn't care, not that he wants it to end quickly, he just doesn't care.
"Yes, and knowing how intelligent you guys are, I know it will work," I said not waiting for his reply I continued, "I heard about the party your family are having this weekend." I said
"Yes, it's Lyd birthday" he said, I already knew, Lyd invited me herself, we kept walking in silent, I so want to talk, I want to please him at least make him smile, I learnt from Lyd that he never truly smile, even his normal smile that he fakes it.
"Are you Alexithymia?" I asked as we got closer to our house and he stopped then the unexpected happen, he laughed, full blown out laugh. I was surprised, so shocked, his laugher is like wave of euphoria to my ears, I wish it never stops
"What" he said as his smile died down
"I mean incapable...."
"I know what you mean, no I'm not Alexithymia" he said as we continued walking
"You know Lydia thinks you're asexual, and that you never truly smile" I said and he sighed
"I know, but know this, Lyd always exaggerate things, I do smile and show emotions just that nothing appears as a challenge to me, everything seems easy making me bored, I feel I am in a wrong timeline." he said, what he said didn't matter to me, what matters is this is the longest sentence he has ever spoken and it hits me hard.
"You know this is your longest statement" I said and he scoffed
"Is it" he said as we get to our house.
"Goodbye" I said and he gave me a nod, I watched him as he walks ahead
"Peter" I called and he stopped, I walked to him "be my friend and I will make everyday a challenge for you" I said and he smile.
"That's a big word" he said and I smile
"Try me"
he smiled and shook his head
"Oblige me" he said and walked away, I stood there, in utter state of euphoria, I promised to avoid guys in other not to make the same mistake my sister made, but here I am webbing myself with a guy that is not pleased by anything, I hope I am not webbing my own doom.

Chapter 2

Should I describe my feeling right now, well I'm feeling many things and I can't really describe them all, dizzy, hot, shy, self conscious, only to name a few. But the highest is that I can feel my resolution falling, like a child that made up his mind to save his allowance only to see himself buying candy because he just can't resist it, that's my situation now, I'm like that child and the guy before me is the candy.
"The glutton is my brother" I heard Lydia said laughing, I just nodded my head because I lost my voice. He waved and smiled, which a bit comical because of the food.
"Am Peter" He said after he swallowed showing me he is extremely handsome, hellooo handsome. He is browned skinned, his low cut perfected carved showing his facial features well, though he is sitting I can really notice how tall he is. His deep voice did more than igniting a spark within me, it also landed a big blow to the wall I have spent so much time building.
"Am Tonia" I said, luckily I found my voice, good I got hold myself, I'm the one that is suppose to affect guys not tthe other way round. Time to get my game on and make him high on hormones, I thought to myself. So, I tried to lock gaze with him, advice ladies it always get a guy, so when you want to seduce a guy without getting half naked or something like that, just make sure to catch his eyes. When you're sure he is also looking at you give him a warm smile, look down as if you're shy then look back at him, guys never forget a lady that smile at them. Do it and he will soon approach you, guys are hormonal by nature, so I am confident he will fall, I just don't know what I plan to do when he falls. So I tried the same principles with Peter, he is talking with his sister so I kept looking at him, unfortunately he didn't look my way, like I don't even exist and it starting to piss me off making me want him more.
"Wow you guys have a nice TV" I said trying to join the conversation, seriously that's the best I came up with.
"Thanks, we bought it last month" Lydia replied and Peter still didn't look my way, I'm now furious, he's already done with the food so nothing is preventing him from looking my way. I get it, he is shy, how cute.
"So where is your twins?" I asked him directly, I have to be the strong girl
"He is at the field" he answered looking my way, finally, I got his attention, I smiled, you know like that kind of smile you only give your crush, but he didn't give me the reaction I was hoping, insteading of smiling back or winking he just looked away with a bored expression.
"I'm leaving Lyd" He said to Lydia and stood up to leave, did he just turn me down, wait don't tell me he is a gay, because their is no how a sane guy could resist my cute seduction.
"Come back on time" She said and he left. I'm feeling defeated, I'm now red with rage, who does he think he is, I will get him, unless he is gay. Wait am I not suppose to avoid men at all cost, better leave him be than regret it later.
"Come on" Lydia said and I followed her, "this is my room" she said, it's nice, very neat, I saw her novels packed on one side of the room, she really is a novel lover. "so which one would you like to take?" she asked as she crouch down looking for the novel to give me and I just stood there thinking about the handsome boy I just saw.
"Are you listening?" I heard Lydia called, I smiled and gave her my attention, "if you're fawning over my brother, I advice you to stop." she said like it's a normal thing, I felt my face heats up, not by rage but embarrassment, how could I be so noticeable.
"No I'm not" I tried to deny it giving out a dry laugh, she just shrugged "but why am I to keep away?" I asked, girls' curiosity.
"Many girls have done so but none has actually gotten his attention, I started to think he was gay, I even did some spying to make sure, with all the information I got I came to the conclusion that he is asexual." She said like she is a good spy and I laughed, asexual, that's something you find in animals.
"You can't be serious" I said and She smiled,
"If you say so" she said and brought out a book.
"Here" she said handing me a novel, it's a foreign novel, I looked at the title Dark Angels,
"You will enjoy it" she said and I just nodded, I doubt.
"I will be leaving, my mom will soon be back" I said and she escorted me out. On getting to the front door we saw another cute guy, but not as peter.
"Paul" she called, oh this is the other twins.
"Smallie"He called then looked at me and smile, that's nice. I returned the gesture "where is Peter?" He asked
"He went out" she answered
"So who is the beauty beside you?" he asked, now someone is a gentleman.
"She's Tonia, our next door neighbor" Lydia answered smiling, I smiled too
"I welcome you pretty one" he said with a bow and I smiled
"Thanks, I will be leaving Lyd" I said and went on my way, I wish Peter was this half nice, I said and smiled as I remember Lydia and her asexual theory.
Seeing the two twins you won't even know they are twins unless they introduce themselves, both are tall with lean muscles but their facial features are different. Paul has a close resemblance with Lydia, thinking back at the picture enlargement they both took after their Father while Peter took after their mother. I scoffed as I remember his face when he smiled with a mouth full of food, if only he was nice like Paul I would've been happier.
"Maybe it's a good thing at least I won't have problem keeping my heart and avoiding ending as my sister." I muttered as I open the door of our house.

*New Story*

THE SACRIFICE.

Chapter 1

Let my life serve as a lesson to you, that was her last words to me, I should never have left her alone that night. I stopped walking as I took a moment to admire the environment, two lizard ran past me and I found myself jealous of their life. Humans are the caretakers of the world yet we are in chains by our desire, pride, responsibilities, and many other things. I continued my walk back home taking my time to admire the new neighbourhood since I find it more pleasing to the eyes than our last one.
It's always refreshing to be in a new city, the air feels different, the sun shines brighter and warmer, everything intrigues you. My family just relocated to a new town, and it's quite refreshing especially after my sister's incident, God bless her soul. Now we can finally put everything behind us. Am walking around taking in the environment, it's beautiful, the town is just what I need. I smiled as I got a wink from a really cute boy, yes this town has a lot of cute boys and they are quiet tempting since I made up my mind to avoid guys after my sister's incident.
"Whatever you want to say, I'm not interested" I said to the boyy as he tried to speak, my words left him speechless and I walked away politely. He is cute but not cute enough to shake my resolve I doubt any of them is enough to make me lose focus.
I walked slowly home, I'm not in a rush, I'm 18 years old through with secondary school, just waiting to write my jamb, I will soon find a tutorial center to start, I am hoping to find that tomorrow. My sister would've easily tutored me if she is still around, thinking about it saddens me, I was still lost in thought when I heard someone calling
"Neighbour, neighbour" I turned to see our next door neighbour waving at me "wait up" she quickened her pace to meet up with me. "Where was your mind, I have been calling for long" she said a little out of breath.
I gave her a sheepish smile "sorry" I said and she waved it off
"By the way am Lydia" she said
"Am Antonia, but you can call me Tonia" I said and we continued our walk home.
"So how are you liking the neighbourhood" she asked,
"So far so good" I said with a shrug, she then started telling me about the power situation and how it works, from what she is saying I found out that they use to have power issue till they bought new transformer. She greeted people as we walked home, I guess she is the popular type I'm just glad she didn't stop to have a chitchat with any of them because it would've been awkward for me.
We kept chatting and I am glad, she is a nice girl, I'm saying this because she didn't talk about anybody, even the ones that greeted us as we passed. Girls always like talking about people because gossip is in our nature, so any girl that doesn't is regarded as a nice girl to me and the best type of girl.
"This road use to be a mess but it's now super cool." she said, you see? She keeps talking about environment, I hope she grows up nicely, she is younger than me.
"Why are you not in school" I asked since today is a school day, she smiled
"Had a stomach issue earlier today" she said and I just nodded, not long after we reached our houses, mine is the first.
"Do you like novels?" She asked, I just nodded, I actually don't but come on who will ever say no, saying yes makes you look cool. "Good, come over I have one for you" she added gesturing me to come. If I knew it was a means to an invitation I would've been truthful, not that I don't like the invitation I would've been miserable at home alone. Since she invited because of books, she will now give me a book to read which will bore me to death.
"Alright" I agreed anyway and followed her to her house. She smiled, there is something about her smile, it's not just a smile, she is happy that I accepted, it made me feel special and at the same time bad for lying.
"Nobody is at home" she said as she unlocked the door with her key, she urshered me in. Unlike our bungalow which I describe as cute, their house is a duplex and very elegant, the first thing that draws attention is the picture enlargment of her parents. I looked around the sitting taking in how clean it is, it's a clear indication they spent less time here.
"Fine house you have" I admitted and she smiled gracefully, we froze when we heard a noise, it sounds like spoon and plate.
"Seems someone is home after all." I said and she smiled
"That would be one of the twins, they love their food" she said and moved towards the noise and I followed.
"I hope you left some for Paul" said Lydia with amusement laced in her voice, I heard some mumbling and I scoffed, I knew he mumbled bcause he has his mouth filled with food, boys.
He already picked my interest so I came out to see the eater, I froze on seeing him, his mere presence just broke down my wall and shakened my resolute, how can he be so handsome even with his mouth filled with food.

Epilogue
(Alfa's Pov)
It's been 5 years I got married to the love of my life, she has been sweet from the moment I saw her till now, she changed my life and saved me from tge put darkness. Before I met her I was just a body with no soul, I smile, I laugh but not really happy. She gave me all the happiness in this world, she is my life saver.
It started when I got home from my meeting, even though I had a stressful day I was still unable to sleep because the house felt so lonely I was alone watching my favourite anime when a message came to my private line. I noticed its a new number, only few people around me can reach me through this line, I tried to ignore the message because I know its a wrong number but it kept coming and I felt the need to reply because whoever it is, is clearly hurt. She gave me the rare opportunity to drop some quote and you can't believe how proud that made me feel.
From there we started getting closer and I thought its foolish to feel so attracted to you, I still refused to reveal my identity because I am afraid the stories she will hear about me if she finds. I also held myself back from finding out who she is since I don't want to use the advantage on her.
Everything finally worked out and she made me realize how angry Henry has been at me, she settled us and now Henry is free from the hate, he is even getting married next month. I asked Bunny to marry me but she was being skeptical because she couldn't bear children, I still insisted because I am not marrying her to be a baby making factory but to be beside me for all the days of my life. I was a bit sad she couldn't have children but the urge to have her far surpass everything, it always has and always will. I decided to go punish Josh for all the pain he caused her, I made his employer sack him, bought the building his wife was selling super market and sent them packing, bought the house they lived and gave them quit notice. I frustrated him till Bunny found out and reprimanded me for it. I gave them back everything I took but only after he apologized to bunny. I received my punishment from Bunny after it though but it was worth it.
Our wedding is still considered among the top ten best wedding, I cried when she walked up the isle, I was such a wuss. From the moment I have met her things have been perfect, we quarrel even to an extent where she goes to her mothers house but we always get back together since we can't stay a moment without each other. She has a lot of responsibility and she is strong, she became my mother, my wife, my best friend my all in all.
"Dad when will mommy come out" My 3 years old son asked.
"Soon Al" his name is Alfa Bunny gave birth to him 2 years after our wedding, she was able to get pregnant and it was a thing of joy. Now I am in the hospital because she is in the labour room giving birth to our second issue, I am worried because it's July 14th my birthday and also the day that always take everything from me.
"Dont worry dad, my baby will be beautiful and mommy will be able to cook the vegetable soup she promised" My son consoled me and I marvel at how smart he is, he is totally going to be lady killer.
"Thanks Al" I replied, I have no idea what gender she will give birth to since she refuse to know through ultra sound, she wants it be a surprise.
"Dear God, you gave me a miracle by sending her to my life, please show me more miracle today" I prayed and turn as I heard the doctor coming out.
"How is she" I rushed towards him
"Congratulation sir, she gave birth to a baby girl" he replied with a smile.
"How is my Bunny" I asked with my heart loudly speaking, he looked at me confused "my wife I mean"
"Oh, she is fine, just a little bit tired, you can go see her" I already left before he could finish, I know where to go since we have our private ward in this hospital.
"Bunny" I called the moment I entered, Al is right behind me
"Mommy!" he shouts and ran to jump on her but I was able to stop him.
"Mommy is a little weak Al" She said with a smile and the tears rolled down, I slowly walked to her bed side and took her hand.
"Thank you for not leaving me" I cried. She placed her free hand on my head.
"Dont be a wuss Alfa, I will never leave you, not in this life nor the next" she replied. I stood up to go see my new baby girl, I carried her up from the crib and she seem so small just like Al, maybe smaller.
"She is beautiful" I said and she cooed "what are we going to call her?"
"Marrisa" she answered and I looked at her.
"My mothers' name" she nodded.
"Look Al, she is Marrisa you little sister and your responsibility, isn't she beautiful"
"Dad, she's an angel" he replied while rubbing her head.
"Mama will soon be here" I said and she smiled
"I love you" she voiced at me.
"We love you too" I replied and Mama barged in that moment.
Bunny is really my blessing she even manage to change my bad day to a good day, from today henceforth instead of remembering this day as the day that took my mother and father, I will remember it as the she gave me life and a princess Marrisa.
Thank God for my happily ever after, thank God for my Bunny and my love life that never loses its spark even as we got older, thank God for my beautiful love story.

Chapter 38
"I can't have children" I said and his eyes widened.
"What?"
"I can't have kids, I have thought of telling so long but I was selfish because I don't want it to spoil with we have, I am sorry" I cried, he just knelt there looking at me with confusion.
"I told you about the abortion, when Joshua knew of my pregnancy he convinced me to abort it with a traditional medicine saying we are not yet ready for kids" that's the worst mistake of my life and my most painful experience.
"I refused but he insisted so I gave in, I took the medicine but couldn't stop bleeding for days and I was in a excruciating pain. We went to the hospital and the doctor confirmed that my womb is damaged" I cried and he stood up with his head hung low. I guess he is top ashamed to look at me, I am even ashamed to look at myself.
"I am sorry for not telling you, I know how much you want leave an heir that will manage the legacy your parents left you" the tears kept flowing no matter how many times I wipe it off.
"Bunny" he whispered and I hiccupped and ran to my room and locked the door, I don't want to hear what he want to say, I don't think I will ever be ready to hear it. My heart tightens and I threw myself down and started crying.
With the fun of living with him I forgot how disgusting I am, I dragged in for a ride without telling him the truth, I have brought him only pain. I didn't tell him I was Rose when we first met, didn't tell him I have damaged womb, he must be seeing me as the world biggest liar.
Every good thing has an end, I guess this is the end of my happiness. I went to the mirror and looked at myself, I can't believe how dim I just got. Early this morning I was glowing like the brightest star now I am looking like a night with neither moon or stars. I heard a slight knock on the door and I gasped.
"Please you don't need to say the words I can't bear it, just give me time to gather myself I will leave the house" I cried.
"Why don't you want to hear the words?" he asked
"Because I can still leave deceiving myself that we had a great vacation and it had to end" I sniffed.
"So its all just a vacation to you?" we had to be yelling for us to hear each other. His words hurts because he sounded like I hurt him by calling everything a great vacation.
"I am so sorry, these weeks I have been with you is the best weeks of my life, you gave me a lifetime in this little time and for that I am grateful and will forever love you" I cried and he kept silent.
"People don't look the person they love out of their room" is he that determined to say what he has to say.
"Had it been this door is not that strong I would've broke it down the moment I got here" I knew he would've thank God for that. I heard his retreating footsteps and I felt alone, I sighed then went to check the door.
"Caught you" He smirked the moment I opened the door and jumped back, I was too surprise to open the door.
"Alfa" his name left my lips.
"One and only" he said showing me his savage side like he did that day in the garage.
"You are a piece of work Bunny, you dropped a bomb on me without waiting to hear what I've to say" He said and I walked to the bed and sat down.
"Why bother when I already know the answer" I said looking sad.
"I will punish you really" he sighed the came closer knelt down and placed his hands on my laps.
"You really don't get it do you, I said you're the beginning and the end for me" he said and I am forced to look into his eyes, the only that reflects on it is his truth, and it took my breath away.
"I am asking you to marry me not because of bunch of kids, I am asking you to marry me because I have no life without you. I am asking you to marry me because I want to be able to look at you 70 years from now and still feel young. I am asking you to marry me because I know its impossible to live without you" he raised his hands to my cheeks and I felt the same spark I felt on the day of Mr. Collins birthday and the same spark I have always feel when he touches me.
"I am asking you to marry me because you moan at every touch of mine and you're the only person I can brag to"
"But I want babies" I cried and he scoffed
"Bunny, if you want babies that much we can adopt bunch of kids and give them my last name as long as you accept to bear the weight of that name" he really wants me.
"It might be difficult because I might turn to an old witch that kills whatever she touches" he wipes my tears.
"It might be difficult true, but its impossible to live without you. I love you isn't that enough" he said and I felt like the villain for denying this creature his happiness.
"I love you too" I hugged me tightly weeping, he now broke off the hug and slide the ring into my finger.
"Also I asked you to marry me because no one is worthy of my mothers ring, its quite expensive you know" I gasped and felt the weight of wearing the same ring with his mother, will I be able to fill in her role.
"It's perfect" I said as I decided to start having more faith in myself and live together with Alfa.
"Luckily I didn't propose to you in the public like most romantic movies, I wouldn't have live down the shame" he shakes his head
"You know I wouldn't have loved public proposal"
"Yes, that's why I did it with just the two of us, but now the news will soon go viral"
"How" I asked, I am already becoming a public figure just because he introduced me as his girlfriend.
"All I need to do is to send our picture to Isabelle showing the ring and she will definitely make it viral. Dont worry I will send her a picture after you have tidy up yourself" he said and stood up.
"Thanks" I said for everything he has done in my life.
"Well your punishment awaits, you have to cook dinner today wearing nothing but apron" he said with a smirk and I gasped. We always have this thing to punish each other whenever we do wrong. Last week I looked him outside with nothing but boxers and walking around the room wearing nothing but his shirt. He kept watching me through the glass door and swore he will pay back for keeping myself away from him.
"How can you think of such" I asked trying to sound disgusted.
"Ha, you messed me up last week, now its my turn" he laugh maniacly "dinner and a show, oh yeah" he screamed and danced out of the room. "Be fast Bunny I am famished" he yelled and I smiled.
I guess his wishes is my command, I have to think of another higher punishment for him, I will tell my family after dinner, I guess God has given me my happily ever after.


A/N: so the next update will be the last one

DebbieSylvex:
dear,okada books

I have my books there already

Chapter 37
I arrived before 4 pm, I paid for the bus at the park so it can leave without getting filled up, I received Alfa's first call when I was just entered Anambra, I ignored it, thank God he is just waking up
I went upstairs and saw lots of familiar faces, today is Friday so the company is crowded, wow it's been two weeks since Alfa kidnapped me.
"You think he will take you back after leaving and playing him with his best friend" Timi hissed at me, I felt pity for her, I know she is having an affair with Henry.
"I hope you find happiness" I said and left her to go meet Henry because Alfa will soon be here, it won't take him an Hour since he will use his jet.
I knocked and he asked me in, he was surprised to see me.
"To what do I owe this visit" he said and dropped what he was doing.
"I came because of Alfa's happiness" that's what I will be living for.
"I wonder what that has to do with me" He asked.
"Don't play dumb, you know how much he values you" besides you have played the role of a villain for long try changing.
"Then he should give me the company" he smirked.
"You know that won't help with the anger you bear over him. You have this anger for you but deep down you know he is not the one at fault" I said and his eyes showed a different emotions.
"What right does he have to be happy when I am miserable and Mirabel dead" he barked.
"Oh Henry, you saved him from the pits of destruction together with Mirabel and you want to send him back again, what do you think Mirabel will think of it" he looked down in shame and I knew even in death he values what Mirabel thinks, he truly loved her.
"Alfa is someone that doesn't care about people much but he cares deeply for people around him, he wants to send you away but I know it will scar him forever, please don't add more scar to the ones he already have".
"You know, I never knew I love her until Alfa came, now that I think about it my best memories of her is when we were trying to get Alfa back" he chuckles "She is a strong girl, able to control both of us even with our different personality. She died an Alfa hardly talk about her like she never meant anything to him" he cried. Now I get his anger, Alfa hardly spoke of her because he is not really a talker, even when we were at Mr. Donald's house, he was in a discussion with Mr.Donald but said the least, I use to see him as someone who brags but he didn't even revel on praises Mr. Donald showered on him. When I told him about it he smiled and told me he only brags when he is with me because I am different.
"You know he hardly talks" I defended.
"Yes I know, but I wanted him to hurt like I did. It is known we were both crushing on her but it's not just crush for me. You know even when he thought I was dating you, he still never shut up about you, but when Mirabel was alive he badly talk about her because he is trying to hide his feelings" he looked at me.
"Maybe he loved her but not as much as he loves you and I am angry for that because Mirabel loved him more"
"I don't know about Mirabel but I don't love Alfa any less than she did".
"Not you silly, I mean she loved him more than he loved her"
"You're right, she loved me more" We heard the husky voice and we both snapped our head to the direction and he is standing at the entrance. I have never seen him like this before, he is truly a savage wolf, now I know why I am always confident standing beside him, he is powerful.
"I failed" I muttered looking down as he came faster than I anticipated, I can't look at him because he is so angry, he calmly stroll over to me and gently raised my face.
"I... You will be punished Bunny" he said and I gasped but his eyes are mild.
"I am so sorry" I apologized.
"Can you give us a minute" he request and I was too quick to leave, I don't want to be sandwished between two giants.
I took a deep breath after leaving their presence and then went to see Esther, she is the best girl in the company.
"So who is the C.E.O" she asked almost when she saw me.
"It's obvious, the one that just stomped in anger, didn't you see how low Mr.Akin bowed when he came in, he doesn't even bow that much to Henry" Nnedi answered for me.
"Don't be so sure" Timi added, I guess she already knows but doesn't want to admit it.
"So have you gotten any work?" Esther asked.
"Nope" do I need a job? I thought to myself.
We girls kept catching excluding Timi, I kept thinking about what Alfa and Henry are doing, about 20 minutes later they walked out, thankfully no one is injured.
"It turns out I am still going to London" Henry said and I felt sad.
"But we already settled, what we needed was to be honest with each other" Alfa added with a smile.
"Then why is he going to London?" I asked.
"I need it, to help me heal, thank you Rose Alfa doesn't deserve you" Alfa gasped and touched his chest.
"You cut me deep bro, you cut me real deep" Alfa feigns being hurt.
"Come on man, you are a piece of trash" Henry continued.
"Shut up man before she realize she could've done better" Alfa frowns and it was cute. I succeeded, thank God. I know it will take Henry some time to heal but he will no longer be a sadist.
"How about we go home to meet mom and dad, you're yet to introduce Rose as your girlfriend" Henry said and I heard the people around gasp.
"Of course that's a nice idea" Alfa said with a devilish grin.
"I am not ready" I backed off and what will they think of me since I first came with Henry.
"Don't be scared, they knew you had your eyes on Alfa that's why I never bothered introducing as my girlfriend" Henry tried to persuade me.
I knew I have to meet them sooner or later so I gave in, I saw Timi looking like a drenched hen and I felt happy.

I left with Alfa after having dinner with Henry's family too bad Isabelle couldn't join us. Henry also left for London and we were the one that saw him off that day. My mother is coming back next week so everything is alright.
I came back from the hotel today, he sent me to go drop some document and check things out, over the week he introduced me to lots of persons and even had a party where he invited a whole lots of personnel and introduced me as his girlfriend, the looks on Sapphires face was satisfying.
*Come to the backward* I received a text from him after I entered the house so I headed towards the backyard. There is rose petels all over the floor, what is he planning. Everyday with him is unique since there is always something to look up to. I saw the words hanging on the wall.
*Before I met you, my life was a walk on a desert with no water to drink* wow, I kept heading down the road.
*You are my cold shower on a hot summer day* that's what you are to me, I kept going down I saw many sweet words on the way, on the last threshold I saw the last.
*Brace yourself Bunny* I stepped out and saw him kneeling with one kneel and a ring on his hand.
"Be my wife" he said and I gasped.
"I can't have children" these words automatically left my lips and his eyes widened.

A/N: this is serious

Chapter 36
"I never knew Alfa would be able to get over me" she said after offering me seat beside her bed "you know he has always been obsessed over me" I am annoyed by his words.
"Obsessed" I don't see Alfa being obsessed.
"Yes, maybe he is just using you to make me jealous" she laughed and it disgusts me "be careful not to fall because he might end up ditching you"
"Alright I have heard enough" I stood up.
"I am sorry, I was just looking out for a fellow girl" she draws me back "don't be angry" she pouts, I can't deny the fact that she is beautiful.
"Alright" I sat down
"Help me select the best dress to where, I am going to a birthday party tomorrow" she said and opened her wardrobe, damn it is jaw dropping, I couldn't restrain my eyes from widening.
"I have forgotten about this cloth" she brought out a green gown "Alfa bought it for me from Dubai" she gushed, wacko you just lied, Alfa only loves black, red and white gown. So, it's either he didn't buy it or he bought it but had zero interest to check what you look like.
"I hope you can satisfy his sexual need" she shrugged.
"Excuse me?" I felt irritated.
"You know most times he meets a new girl he always come back to me saying I am the only one that can satisfy his sexual need" she brags and I can see the reason why any man will always come back to her, she is dropdead gorgeous. "He loves sex" she giggles.
He loves sex, truthfully the way he handled me that day is really the work of a professional and its not something you learn in a day. So what if he is really a sex addict, will I be able to satisfy him with my mere unprofessional skills, I was never good at sex, Josh once told me.
"You know sex drives men, if you really don't know how to satisfy them they will look elsewhere" she is right, men are sex driven, I know Alfa is different but why am I doubting myself, like I now feel he might be snatched away from me one day just like Josh.
"I have to leave" I said as I held back the tears and walked out of her room, I came out to see Alfa drinking with Mr.Donald.
"Are you alright?" Alfa asked the moment he saw me, I tried to act normal in order not to alert our host.
"I am fine just a little headache" I lied.
"Let me get you some asprine" Mr. Donald offers.
"No worries I just need a good sleep"
"Alright let me drive you home, thank you Mr. Donald for the dinner" He thanked them and so did I before we left.
I kept silent all through the drive, he kept trying to make me talk but I was too lost in thought to reply, how can I make him stay, I have never wanted anything or anyone as much as I want Alfa.
I started kissing him the moment we got home, we were still in the car garage when I started attacking him with a kiss. He was surprised at first but reciprocated, I am not my normal self since I taking the lead, I forcing removed his shirt, I am sure I must have torn a button or two. I removed my gown leaving only my undies. He stopped me the moment I tried to remove his belt.
"What's wrong?" he asked and calmed me down by caresses over my cheek.
"Nothing, I just want to have you" I said with a frown.
"You will always have me, so tell me did Sophia say anything" he asked and narrowed my vision at him, he doesn't even know her name.
"She told me you were obsessed over her and you will end up coming back to her" I said and he scoffed.
"Obsessed, wow, I thought you know me better than that"
"I do, I am more concern about what she said concerning your sex life, she said you are an addict. Am worried you might leave because I can't satisfy you with my zero skills" I muttered the last part but he heard it making him laugh, full blown out throaty laugh.
"You heard I am a sex addict and you weren't worried I might kill you will sex, you are worried that you might not be able to satisfy me" he chuckles and I face palmed as I realise how stupid it made me look.
"Baka" I barked and he chuckled then pulled me closer.
"You never truly understand how deeply I fee for you, you bring me to climax without sex, you do it just with a simple touch, a simple giggle a smile smile in a heart beat. No one can be compared with you in my life. I love you and that is the beginning and end of everything" he said and I hiccuped. Some truths are so heavy when given to you its drains all your energy. I stood there looking at him as his words kept repeating in my head.
"I love you and believe me, no one has ever heard me say such words" I gasped and started hitting his chest.
"You should know somethings are too much for a girl to handle, how can you drop such nuclear on me in a garage while I am just on pant and bra" he stood as I hit his chest he made no moves to stop me.
"Next time try giving me a warning before dropping such news on me you big lump of a man, baka, baka" I felt my tears rolling down, I once though he is my guardian angel, he is actually more than that and I am thinking what I did to deserve him.
"I love you too, baka" I said and he smiled, you made me worried for a while he smiled and kissed me, he then deepened the kiss and I know he is about to finish what I started.
After our garage confession and escapede I felt closer to him more, I guess I feel closer to him every day. I spoke with my family and everybody is fine, my life can't just get any better. I am alone at home since he went to the office to handle thing, he always make business call from time to time. If you ask me I will say he is a lazy C.E.O since he hardly goes to work, I love it like that. I have been thinking of a way to handle Henry's situation. Alfa is someone that doesn't have much people close to his heart so I wouldn't want him to loose the few close to him
"Hi Bunny" he said and pecked my head. I welcome him.
"So go bath and come to the dining to have your lunch" I said and he grin, I have started cooking for him and he loves whatever I cook, I may not be the greatest in sex or the prettiest in his life but I have no equal in food and it makes me proud.
"I will be sending Henry to London, he will have to manage the branches over" he said as he eats the egusi I prepared. It saddens me he is sending him away like that, I have to do something.
"Can't you too straighten things out" I asked and he shakes his head, I know he must have tried his best.
"I have something to tell you, but you warned me to never drop a big news on you without a warning so I thinking of the best way to tell you that without getting hit again." he gave me a side glance.
"If you get a thousand dollar for every time you make me fawn when you give me a side glance, you will be way richer than you are now" I said and he grin.
"You can start now" I scoffed at him
"Well what's the news?" I asked and he shook his head.
"It ain't ready yet". He has been doing a lot of things for me so I am determined to do something in return for him, I am going back to see Henry, my mind is made up.
"I too have something for you" I said and he grin like a little kid. I know he will try to stop me so I will leave without telling him, I don't know if I am doing the right thing but I know I will never be free if I don't do it.

He slept off after his meal so I decided its time to leave, sadly I have to take the road, I looked at him as he peacefully sleeps. Please God guild me all through.
I dropped a written note for him about where I am going but not what I am going to do, knowing Alfa I know he will come rushing so I pray he doesn't wake up on time and that the road is clear. It's just 12 noon so if the road is clear I will be at the company before 5pm. Alfa loves to sleep so I guessing he will wake up by 4 or so, that gives me time. I already called Esther and she assured me that Henry is at the company, I hope I succeed.

Chapter 35
We both lay beside each other breathing heavily, I just went to heaven and came back
Alfa is really an Apex predator, he preyed on every bit of my body and have me throbbing down there.
"Wow" I said as I remember when he said he will wipe away all my previous memory about boys. He is right because I feel like this is my first time.
"Who knows our bunny has a devil side" He said facing me as he holding his weight with his elbow.
"Shut up" I said looking everywhere but him, I have no idea how he can still look at me and not be embarrassed, thank God I am closing my unclothedness with the blanket.
"I thought you were convulsing" he mocked referring to what I did when I reached orgasm.
"Shut up, no one talks about their sex after it" I pouts and he jumped on me and I yelped.
"Is it me or are you glowing brighter" he said while staring intently into my eyes, I started stuttering.
"Ah, you're stuttering, an hour ago you were taking the lead and being the boss" can't he just be less annoying.
"I am hungry" I said since its the only way to escape from his grip, I fear I might loose my cool and ignore the pain I am feeling down there and have sex with him again.
"Well I suppose, you really worked yourself a lot" he said and got up, "stay there" he left me in the room as he walked away naked. I enjoyed the backview, he is more built than I thought. I stood up on the bed and jumped up and down like a teenage girl, I felt so happy sharing this moment with Alfa, nothing can describe my happiness.
I instantly covered myself when I heard him coming, he is already putting on a trouser, he threw a shirt at me, his shirt I think since its big.
"Wear it and let go eat it, I have already ordered Ice cream and chicken pie to be brought over, you don't mind do you?" he asked and shook my head.
"It's fine" I said now expecting him to turn back for me to wear the shirt, he is not flinching as he has all his attention on me.
"Don't expect me to turn back" he said with a smirk.
"You're the most annoying creature ever" I barked and turned instead making him to see my back instead. I quickly put on the shirt as I dropped the blanket I was covering myself with.
"I wonder how long you will hide" He said as he led me out, the shirt is big enough to cover me up like a short gown. "The shirt looks better on you" he said and I blushed.
"I just got a new night gown" I said, I can still smell him from the shirt.
He laughed and we both walked outside to the pool side and sat down, I can't believe how deeply we connected.
"Our meal is here" he said and I turn to see a young beautiful girl coming forward with a bag that has Maris hotel label. I guess it's from there they bought the meal from.
"Good afternoon Sire" the girl greeted shyly, she is looking younger than me but I don't like the way she is looking at Alfa. I coughed since she is absolutely ignoring me.
"Good afternoon" she also greeted me but not with the same enthusiast, instead with disgust.
"Thank you for the meal" Alfa said giving him a side glance, I am trying not to be a jealous girlfriend but the way she fawns when Alfa gave her a side glance. You don't get to fawn you wacko, only I get to do that.
"Any other thing?" she asked as innocent as she can, babe I am a girl I know what you're doing.
"No, nothing else, we are fine" I said arranging my shirt collar just to make her see I am putting on Alfa's shirt, she gasped but tried to hide it but I already got her, so I smirked.
"Have a nice meal" She bowed and left.
"Wow Bunny is jealous" he joked and I glared at him.
"She was practically all over you" I fumed.
"Don't worry, you already have me" he said and started eating. I followed up as heard his reassuring words.
After eating I decided to ask him about Henry since it has been on mind since we arrived at his house.
"So have you spoken talk Henry?" I asked and he nodded we are sitting on the edge of the pool with our legs inside the water.
"Yes I did"
"So what happened"
"Well he is bitter and failed to see his wrong, he is blaming me for his misery, that I understand but I don't understand why he also need to make you sad. I wouldn't mind if he punished me alone and not you" he shrugged.
"I think he is targeting your company" I think he needs to hear it.
"I know, he said I either compensate him with a huge shares or he will never forgive me" he looks sad. Alfa is someone that care deeply for people he loves and can go to whatever length to make them happy.
"I wished he asked for something else, this company is my pride, I want to be able to face my parents in the after life and tell them I grew the company bigger than it was that I wasn't a wayward child and made good use of what they left me" he looks at me "I might end up being brutal to him and send him far away since he is actually my worker, his father's shares is not up to 3%" I know Henry won't forgive him even if he gives him half the company he just want to make him suffer like he is suffering.
"I don't want to send him away Bunny, he is my brother" he sadness reflects his eyes and it broke my heart.
"Don't worry, you won't have to" I said as made him lie on my laps. Why can't Henry see what a wonderful Friend/Brother he has.
It's been more than a week since he kidnapped me to Calabar and everyday has been super fun, he took me around the city and I had to glare at every single girl that looked his way and for some reason he enjoyed my jealousy. We are now on our way to one his father's friend that invited us over to dinner, he always use different cars, Jessica is going to run mad when I tell her about my wonderful week.
"You always make people uneasy" I whispered to him as we are sitting at the dining. The man is rich, not a shareholder in Alfa's company, we are having a dinner with his family. He is Mr. Donald, he has a beautiful wife and a very beautiful daughter who makes me pale in comparison.
"How do you mean" he whispered back.
"Look around" it seems everyone here is trying to impress him, like they're afraid he will complain if they misbehave. I wonder why, because Alfa doesn't really care or sees what people do, he is hardly provoked or judge and that's why he doesn't even see the fact that they're trying to impress him.
"I see nothing, just two beautiful woman" he growls to my ear and I pinched him for seeing only them. We all started eating and Alfa and Mr. Donald engaged on little talks, the two ladies drops some comment once in a while. Sapphire, Mr. Donald's daughter the beautiful lady who I'am jealous off looks my way whenever he say something to Alfa contributing in their discussion. She is trying to show me she is a better girl for Alfa, I would've also contributed but their discussion is mainly on business and shares which I have zero knowledge about. I felt sad and could barely eat, besides she is more of a match for Alfa with his beautiful physique.
"Rose here has a very good business acumen" Alfa said squeezing my hand a bit, he felt I was left out so he decided to carry me on. "I was privilege to do some sells with her and I am certain she is a very good saleswoman. He has a proud smile on his face.
"Thats not all that impressive" Sapphire scoffed.
"Manners" Mr. Donald shuts her up. The Dinner went on uneventful and Alfa manage to shift the discussion from business to how much I love Calabar. It was easy for him since they all want to impress him, well I also want to impress him.
"Come Rose lets have some girls time" Sapphire invited me to her room after Dinner.
"Alright" I said and stood up, Alfa tried to stop me but I am determined to go with Sapphire.
"Easy on her" she told Sapphire and smiled at me.
I then left with sapphire, I am positive I am going into the lions den and I will not come unscathed, but if I run from her that means I don't deserve Alfa.


A/N: Alfa the wolf has preyed on Bunny, my Bunny, my sweet innocent Bunny. Alfa is a bad influence. Now who the hell is Sapphire.

Chapter 34
I woke in the arms of Alfa, we both fall asleep while watching Naruto, he already have his eyes on me before I opened my eyes.
"Staring is wrong" I muttered.
"If staring at you is a crime I don't mind being the most wanted" he smiles and I nudge him slightly on his stomach. We were really tired yesterday that we slept on our cloth, now I wonder what I am going to wear today and when we are going back.
"So what would you like for breakfast?" he asked.
"I can prepare the fried rice that was so difficult for you"
"I just had pepper on my eyes" he denies and I scoffed
"Keep telling yourself that" I tried to stood up but he held me down.
"Let's stay like this a moment longer" he cuddle tighter and I am not complaining.
After a while he decided to back me to the kitchen, you can believe how much of a kid he acts
"I can barely feel your breast against my back, it's small" He said and I gasped.
"Pervert"
"I wonder how small it will feel for my big palm, can I really gobble it up" I tried choking him since I am still on his back.
"Baka, get me down" I yelled but not really trying to get down.
"I never know your into BDSM" he laughed "don't worry I will do anything to make you happy" he is really incurrable.
"Baka" I said with a silent smile.
"We're here, so you can get down" ha I have no plan of getting down.
"As a punishment I won't get down I will be your guild as you do the cooking" he chuckles.
"Anything for you bunny" I thought he would refuse.
"Won't you get tired?" I asked
"You weigh even less than a feather, so no I won't get tired. Tell me what's to do" I directed him with everything and he did splendid, truly he understands things faster than a normal person.
After cooking we decided to go bath and freshen up before eating, he led me to a very fancy room.
"This is your room or would you like to share the same room with me?" I shut the door on his face, I heard him laughing. I looked around the room, its big, big enough to be a full apartment, I saw a white gown is already on the bed with white undies. I saw a note on top it, a note from Alfa, I guess he had everything plan.
"Wear it after bathing" I smile and rushed to the bathroom. I only see this such beauty in movies, the bathroom is so comfortable I can sleep in it. I took out the brush and brush my teeth. He really planned everything even my soap, I once told him the soap I use, I can't believe he remembered. I used a bathtub for the first time in my life. I enjoyed every bit of the bath.
"I got the right size it seems" he said as he saw me coming down, I am surprise even the undies was a perfect match, I once told him the size of my bra.
"You freshened up good" he is wearing a white shirt and a white trouser, our dish has all been served. Luckily I didn't get lost, I came and sat Opposite him. It's not a long dinning that I have to shout while talking to him.
"So let's be civilized for once and eat like a high ranking citizen" he said and I smiled.
"We will try" I replied and we started eating. It's tasty, he did everything himself while backing me, how cruel of me.
"You did good" I said and he chuckles.
"I am just a natural"
"So, I saw a portrait of you together with your parents, I thought your mom dad at child birth" I asked while showing my chicken laps no mercy.
"Yes the portrait is fake, I asked an artist to do so we can be a family even in an art" I looked at him with pity but he no longer has any sadness in his eyes. "Easy on the meat Bunny" he mocked me. I have no idea why I hardly hide any of my character from him.
After desert we washed the plate together and it was unique to me. We decided to go step out and walk around the compound, its really big, I am guessing he will be spending a lot to keep this house and compound neat.
"How long do you plan to keep me mister kidnapper" I asked.
"Kidnapper? Wow well I wouldn't be a kidnapper if I tell you" he said and then started coming closer, his eyes is always intense and its impossible to keep eyes contact.
"Why are you stalking closer as if to prey on me" I keep stepping back each time he steps forward.
"Because I am a predator and you're my best kind of prey, besides everything about you invites me in" he kept coming closer.
"I..." I fell inside the pool before I could say what I wanted, "Where did the pool came from" I said the moment I swim back up. I am all dripping wet.
"It has always been there" he laughs then steps inside to join me.
"Look, I got you all wet Bunny" his voice is now deeper and sexier. We got close together and goosebumps attack the moment his finger touched me.
"Aaah" I moaned.
"I don't know the good thing I did for God to send you my way" he kissed my neck and my eyes went close. I felt his nail slight clawing my laps up making me tremble. The cold water and his touch coupled together is making me tremble more than I need to.
"I have had dirty thought about you from the moment I saw you" He whispered then nibbled on my ears.
"You are killing me" that's the only thing I could mutter before he sealed my lips with a kiss. He drew me closer as I feel his hands playing dangerously on my pants.
The sensation made me hold on to him tightly, he left my lips to kiss the nape of my neck, I am surprise that I haven't broken down from this much sensation.
"We are outside" I managed to say it because I am sure this is the only chance I have to hold back, I don't mind get laid right here or anywhere though.
"Nobody will come here, so don't worry" he kissed me again. Alfa will really be the end of me, He slowly removed my gown leaving me only with pant and bra, I felt no self shame because the only thing on my mind is to have him inside me.
He removed his own shirt and for the moment I admired his physique.
"Like what you see?" he smirked.
"Shut up" I said and started kissing him again this time more ferociously. He removed my bra and gently squeezed it with his hand, I trembled at his every touch. I wrapped my lgs around him as I felt him moving, I am not even sure if he is moving or I am floating because of the estacsy.
He left the pool with me still wrapped around him, he moved into the house and I have no idea which room we entered. We are too far gone to know where we are right now, we both only have goal right now and that is to explore every bit of our body, we are in need of the connection. I can't believe I am on the bed with someone that I kissed yesterday, Alfa is really showing me myself I never knew existed.

A/N: Alfa is gonna get some
