EPISODE 9:

"It's about a kid." He replied

"I knew it!" I snapped and hit the table angrily with my fist making him jump slightly in his seat.

"Have you been selling to kids again?" I yelled angrily at him

"No,no,no,no,no!" He responded trying to defend himself with his hands raised in surrender.

"Calm down Squi, you have always wanted someone to train for greatness. I think I've found you one" he explained.

"You've always your own aprendiz" he added making air quotes at 'aprendiz'

Well, he's right, I've always wanted someone to show the kinda love that Po showed me seven years ago when I was living on the streets.

I could remember fighting with the boys in the trap everyday.

We used to pick pockets, sell bags and rap at night clubs for a meal.

I had nowhere to sleep. No exact Place to call home.

We played basketball better than most NBA stars.

The day I met Po, I was fighting with one of the guys who tried to bully a little kid.

I vividly remember punching his already bloody face and the other boys cheering until someone lifted me off him from behind.

It was Yonas who held me back while I struggled. Po stood at a distance and kept applauding me. He offered me a job and I took it immediately. Then my hair was short and I was just 16.

"So where's he or she?" I asked as I managed to snap out of my thoughts.

"It's a she" he replied

"And what makes you think that I'm gonna take her?"

"Same troubled past as yours bebe, no family, born hustler, you're gonna love her" he responded and got up from the table walking back into the house apparently going to get her.

He returned a moment later with a girl of about 16. Wait a sec, I'm I seeing clearly or what? She's pregnant too! Great!!

When Po met me, I was 4 months pregnant but I still fought like a beast and I ran as fast as the squirrel tattooed on my arm.

About the baby, I lost it that same day because of the fight. I was fighting for some other person's child and lost mine in the process.

The father of the baby? Well, I didn't know honestly because I was gang raped but I remember stabbing two of them while the rest ran away.

Marco and the girl got to the table and since there was only one spare chair, Marco told her to sit while he stood beside her.

Ivy conoce a Maya y Maya conoce a Ivory, AKA Squirrel. Pero la llamo Squi.

("Ivy meet Maya and Maya meet Ivory, AKA Squirrel. But I call her Squi"
Marco introduced with dramatic hand gestures.

Solo llámame Ivy querida
("Just call me Ivy darling"
I interject forcing a smile.

"Bueno!" She mutters playing with the buttons on the oversized shirt.

¿Conoces al padre de tu bebé?
(Do you know the father of your baby?)

I asked feeling overwhelmed with sympathy

No, no lo hago.
(No I don't. )
She responded almost tearfully.

Gosh! I blinked rapidly Fighting back the tears that threatened to fall out any minute. I remember getting kicked in the stomach that day during the fight and the pain that came with losing a child that I never wanted in the first place, that was too much to bear.

My baby woulda been six any minute. But I never got that chance.

"Wanna come live with me Maya?"
I finally found the courage to ask after thinking it through for a while.

She looked at me and looked at Marco who replied with a shrug before looking back at me.

"Yeah, I think so" she replied in a light Spanish accent.

"Okay bebé" I said squeezing her palms

"A word" I said referring to Marco.
"How did you find her?" I ask after we stood a distance from Maya.

"I uhn... I may have sold to her for sometime. Marco stuttered scratching his head.

"What the... What part of 'don't sell to kids didn't you understand uhn?" I yelled angrily grabbing his shirt.

"I'm sorry Squi, she was just a retailer looking for a way to get by" he said pleadingly.

I walked away from him angrily back to Maya. "C'mon bebé, let's go home." I said to her as I got back to the table.

Maya got up and ran to Marco who hugged her tightly and patted her back.

"You're going to be okay Maya. She's got a big heart and a big safe too." He said soothingly and chuckled at the last part.

She finally let go of him and turned back to me. I brought out the bundle of cash from my jacket pocket and tossed it at Marco.

"Stay away from the kids or I'll personally have you arrested." I warned sternly as I led Maya away.

"Yes ma'am" he replied with a little laugh.

I've never been this emotional in 7 years. Its like I'm reliving my old life all over again.

I see my younger self in Maya. I've always wanted someone to show that love that Po showed me 7 years ago and I think I'm finally walking down that road.

We got out to the front door and thankfully my Chevy was still in good shape except for the spray paint on the doors and windshield.

This reminds me of when we used to spray paint people's cars and take the police for a marathon.

I simply chuckled and got into the car together with Maya.

As I drove, my entire life flashed before me like movie clips. I've come a long way for sure and I'm glad that it was all worth it.

I need to inform Po and Yonas that I've found a progeny.

As I was driving trapped in my thoughts, the car radio came alive, thanks to Maya. 'Season Ticket Holder' by Rick Ross was playing.

I started moving my head to the rhythm of the music while Maya rapped along perfectly. All I could do was smile at her.

You're welcome friend <3

EPISODE 3:


NICE TO MEET YOU
Francis POV:
I was resting inside my duty post when I heard a knock on my door. I was kinda half asleep since I had stayed up all night thinking about my mum and my little sister.



How were they managing at the moment?



And secondly, I was also expecting the boss to arrive so I can open the gate for her but, she didn't return.



I quickly get out of my seat and open the door to see one of the maids smiling beautifully at me. I could tell she was drooling as she just stood there staring without saying anything.



'What is the matter?' I ask since it seemed like she wouldn't stop drooling anytime soon.



She was instantly brought back to reality as she scratches her head and clears her throat nervously.

'The..uhm.. boss' daughter wants to...uhm.. see you' she says stuttering.



'Ok' was all I could reply as I step outside and follow her closing the door behind me. I didn't even know her name and honestly, I wasn't interested.



She led me to where the boss' daughter was sitting on a swing in the garden operating her phone.



Immediately the maid informed her that she has brought me, she told the maid to excuse us as she urged me to come over and sit on the next swing beside her.



I was a little confused and lost staring at her.



She wore gothic clothes in a rebellious way. She had glossy brown skin, her long natural hair was tied up with a black scarf.



A pair of arched eyebrows looked down on sweeping eyelashes. Her delicate ears framed a button nose. A set of dazzling, angel-white teeth gleamed as she blew gently and kind of nervously on her black varnished fingernails.



She had a bouncy personality and a sugary voice, which was really adorable. I felt like heaven when she hits my shoulder playfully with her soft hands Her touch could send you to sleep like a baby listening to a lullaby.



She was the total definition of beauty. From head to toe, was a flawless work of art sitting right next to me. I had to get such thoughts out of my head. I have no chance because as it stands, she is equally my boss.



After greetings, and a long handshake that took forever to end, she asks for my name and some other stuff like I was getting interviewed all over again.



This girl asks more questions than the FBI. So annoying but I answered them all seeing that I had no choice.



The boss' daughter (who introduced herself as Marie) was definitely checking me out. But, I won't accuse her of openly flirting with her gateman.



She calls me Frankie, and constantly has one hand playing with her hair while she uses the other to hit my shoulder when I say something funny.



I like her but she is nothing but trouble. Just as I'm staring and getting lost in her beauty, I hear a loud horn at the gate.



Her mother is home. I quickly excuse myself and run as fast as my legs could carry me to the gate.



It was her mum!! Thankfully, she didn't complain about me keeping them waiting outside. I guess she was in a good mood today.



All night, the sound of her voice, her American accent, the way she played with her long dark hair, how she swayed on the swing, her jokes, the looks she gave me, the feel of her touch on my skin which was like an electric shock flowing through me are all I think about as I lie on the comfy bed in the gateman's room.



For a brief moment,she made me forget about all my problems. Just one encounter with an angel has changed my life. (wait did I just call her an angel?)



My boss' daughter was giving me a sleepless night and not my problems as usual.



If only her mum could read minds,to know that I'm awake thinking about her only daughter, she would kill me tonight.



I laugh at the thought and before I know it, I fall asleep with a small smile on my face.
I think I'm falling into her trap already or is it too soon?

EPISODE 8:


�️ Ivy:


As soon as we got into the next room which looked like some sort of office, Roman brought out a gun and pointed it at me;

"I know you are with Cash-house" He says coldly with a devilish smirk.

"You're out manned and outgunned" I reply with a sly laugh as Trevor and I pull out our weapons and also aim at him.

As if it wasn't enough, the door opens forcefully and Yonas walks in wearing a gas mask and also points his weapon at Roman who is now beyond stunned that Yonas was with us all along.

"You traitor!" He yells and fires at Yonas who dodges immediately.

Yonas is notorious for swinging like a typical yo-yo.

Unfortunately, the bullet ricochets and lightly grazes Trevor's arm who let's out a shriek.

Yonas had by now tackled Roman and pinned him down to the floor while I checked Trevor's bleeding arm.

After emptying out Roman's safe,
Yonas secures a rope around Roman's hands and handed us the extra gas masks before we headed back out to the previous room where we found all the guards fast asleep on the floor.

A green mist was also hanging in the air. That's what sent them to sleep.

"It's so nice to have you back Yo-yo" I yell excitedly as we got outside with him dragging Roman.

Trevor's face was squeezed up as his arm was bleeding profusely.

Denny, our driver was equally happy to see Yonas after a long time undercover.

We got into the car and Trevor sits in front with Denny while I and Yonas squash Roman in the middle with the bags of cash and we drive off immediately all the way back to the trap.

� Back at the Trap

We drove into the warehouse and parked our car among the other convertibles ranging from Lamborghinis to Ferraris and Bugattis. My lil Audi was also among.

"There's my baby!" I squealed excited at Yonas as he got down from the car while still dragging Roman along.

"Oh that's hot! Remind me to swerve in that later" he replies excitedly as we laughed together.

Trevor also got down from the car wearing a big frown. I'm guessing his arm was hurting a little.

"You okay homie?" Yonas asked referring to Trevor.

"Yeah, I'm still good money" he replied indifferently.

We got down  to the holding area where Denny helped us keep Roman in place before heading into the 'office' where the others were.

The music was banging loud. "Numb" by 21 Savage was playing and the guys were screaming along.

Po had already organised a little party to welcome Yonas back.

"Typical Po" Yonas yelled over the loud music as he walks into view and everyone starts screaming and cheering. The room felt like a goal has just been scored in a world cup finals game.

Po who was playing cards with some of the guys at the table got up to welcome him home as well.

After a little speech and a toast, the music resumed and everyone hustled to talk to Yonas and fill him in on all that happened while he was away.

Trevor was no longer in the room. I'm guessing he must be cleaning up in the bathroom. I've been so occupied by laughing and drinking with the guys that I totally forgot about his injury.

I picked up a half empty bottle of Jack Daniels and left the room headed to the bathroom.

I opened and found him there just like I expected cleaning up his wound.

"Hey" I greeted as I shut the door behind me.

"Hey" he replied looking up at me for a moment before taking his gaze back to the mirror.

"Lemme help you with that" I offered as I walked up to where he was.

I poured the drink on the spot before doing the other bits involved in first aid.

"Thanks" he muttered as I finished dressing up the wound.

I nodded in response and helped him wear his jacket.

"We didn't choose this life you know? It kinda chose us" I chuckled weakly and turned to walk out of the bathroom but he grabbed my wrist and turned me to face him.

He brought his face closer to mine and I turned my face away from his, making his lips brush on my cheeks.

"You have a girlfriend Trevor and I think it's high time we stopped kissing." I muttered under my breath as I shook my wrist away from his hold and bolted out of the room angrily, leaving him standing speechless.

I walked back to the room where the guys were and put on my best 'actress' face as I sat beside Katie who was still fuming over the fact that she is no longer allowed to take any alcohol because of the pregnancy.

A little while later, Trevor walked back into the room and sat with Max. I observed him from the corner of my eye, he was also watching me, not listening to what was being said.

Unlike the last time when I felt bad about rejecting him, today was different. I felt like I was doing the right thing.

I joked and laughed with the guys all night. We played solitaire and everyone tendered their mission reports.

At the end of the night, Po gave each of us our share of the cash we'd made for the week before he went inside to have a 'Talk' with Roman.

Whatever he does to him is none of my concerns.
I said goodbye to Katie and walked out with Yonas who had asked to crash at my place for the night.

"You're driving Yo!" I yelled to Yonas as I tossed the key at him. He jumped into the ride and admired the controls for a minute before starting up the engine.

� Next Day: Monday

After dropping Yonas off at his house, I went straight to work where I found Katie conducting interviews.

Oh! She mentioned something about getting people to help us out. I'd totally forgotten.

"Good morning hunny bunny" I greeted excitedly as I kissed her left cheek.

"Morning Rodent" she replied playfully earning a little punch on the shoulder from me.

"Wanna help me out here?" She asked referring to the interview.

"Nah, you good at this stuff" I replied and walked into the kitchen area.

Only few customers were seated drinking coffee. They're all at work already.

As I stood in the kitchen washing my hands under the running water in the sink, my phone started ringing from inside my jacket pocket which was hanging on the coat rack on the wall a few feet away.

I turned off the tap and wiped my hands dry before going over to pick it up. I dug my hand into the jacket pocket and brought out the phone which was still ringing luckily.

I looked at the caller ID on the screen. It was Marco (one of my informants in the streets) calling. I'm guessing he's in trouble again.

"Hey! Squealer, what's good?" I said as soon as I picked up.

"I wanna see you Squi, it's very urgent and important." He responded rather too straight to the point.

"Money or Police trouble?" I queried.

"Nah" He replied dryly.

That's a first, Marco never wants to see me without placing money as his priority.

"You got news?" I asked curiously

"Nope, it's just a situation you'd like to address urgently" he adds.

"I'm coming over and It better be worth my time" I warned as I ended the call.

He better not be taking my head for a spin. I wore my jacket and walked out of the kitchen.

I informed Katie and walked out the door to my car. I drove straight to my house to take some money and a weapon before finally getting on the road for my long drive to the trap.

I passed Trevor's house which kinda reminded of last night's encounter. I thought about stopping by to see how he's doing but quickly shrugged it off. I'm going to call him instead. I mean, I still care about him (that's never gonna change).

Just like I was expecting, he didn't pick up. It rang till it went straight to voicemail.

Marco's domain is a very ugly one. Well, it was once my domain too.

Me and Marco both grew up in the North side of the ATL and thugging was the life.

I passed a couple of thugs on the road. Nothing much has changed since I left here. Same old, same old.

Thank God I was driving my Chevy truck else these boys woulda messed up my Audi.

I parked in front of Marco's ugly house and got down.

All the money I've been giving him is enough to get a nice house and a car, but he spends it all on gambling, partying and girls.

I knocked on the front door and one of his goons opened up. He knows me well enough and doesn't ask any questions but leads me to where Marco was behind the house with another guy playing cards with some money on the table.

"Isn't it too early to be gambling?" I say to no one in particular as I approach the table and both of them turn to look at me.

"A good morning wouldn't hurt" I say to the other guy as I snatch a card out of his hand and place it on the table before proceeding to pull his ears jokingly from behind.

Marco looks at him signalling him to leave and he bails immediately.

"You play too much Squi" he says with a chuckle.

"Uh! You know I get bored easily Marco." I replied rubbing my forehead frustratingly as I take a seat opposite him on the table.

"Porque querias verme?"
("Why did you want to see me?"
I asked sounding bored.

The look on his face right now I really freaking me out.

What could it be? Do we have problems in the hood again??

Hey Guys, thanks for reading this story.

Check out my latest story:

https://loverion.com.ng/mummys-gateman-episode-1/

EPISODE 1:


Marie's POV:
Hi! I'm Marie, the only daughter of the Browns.

My parents are business moguls in their own rights (roll my eyes).

I'm a little spoilt, a little lazy but I have a good heart though unlike my mum.



Ever since my parents' divorce, I have always wanted to be with my dad because he was the only one who knew me and cared about how I felt.



My mum on the other hand doesn't see past the money and property she has managed to acquire over the years thanks to the alimony she got from the divorce.



My mother could best be described as a passive and insensitive parent who thought money could solve it all. She's rarely at home and hates it when I go to visit dad in Abuja.
I attended Harvard Business School in Boston. Thanks to my mum who bundled me up and sent me abroad.

I was reflecting on my entire life on my flight back home from Abuja where I had gone to visit my dad.



In a moment, our flight touched down in Lagos. I didn't use the jet because my dad had to travel with it to Ghana. I hated public transport even though it was VIP.

As I got down from the Plane, I could see Lucy(our maid) and Sam (my driver) standing beside a black SUV. Lucy was looking around trying to find me until her eyes landed on me and she ran to where I was and gave me a hug.

I've only been away for two weeks and she misses me like this?

I walked with her to where Sam was standing beside the car and exchanged greetings with him as well.



I got into the backseat of the car with Lucy clinging to me and the long drive home began. Lucy took the time to fill me in on all that had happened while I was away.

As usual, mum had fired a lot of the staff and hired new ones.



Lucy however is the longest surviving staff in our house mainly because she has proven herself to be very trustworthy and reliable over the years that she has been working for us and she's my friend too.

After what seemed like forever, the car finally got to the golden gates that were in front of our house and honked for the gateman to come and open up for us.



LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?

Soon, the gates swung open and we drove in. I remembered that Lucy mentioned that mum had fired one of the gatekeepers so I peeped to see who had opened the gates for us only to see the hottest guy I've ever met in my entire life.



I haven't met someone so cute even through out my stay in Boston, Massachusetts.



I was gobsmacked and my eyes widened as my jaw dropped. I only started coming back to my senses when his figure started getting smaller and smaller as the car kept driving slowly along the tarred driveway in between the narrow strip of turf on either side and line up of spindly trees.



There was a water fountain in the middle of the mini roundabout and a large swimming pool in the distance behind the garden.



There were many buildings in the residence; the main building was a three storey building situated in the middle of the other smaller houses.
Potted plants, glass windows, banisters and all that.



The house was perfect and different from the other houses in the estate which according to my mum; 'To have the same look as anyone in the neighbourhood was akin to wearing the same dress to a high society ball.' (So dramatic!)



In summary, the house looked like a cut out from The Architects Today magazine.



We finally got into the large parking space and as I got down from the car, I noticed two new flashy cars with tinted windows and I remembered that Lucy also mentioned that my mum bought them a few days back during the drive.



We got inside and I kept thinking about the cute new gateman I saw a moment ago.



Lucy walked beside me with my backpack which was the only luggage I traveled with as she kept talking about one thing or the other, all I did was nod and smile in response as the gateman was all over my mind.



We both got inside and Lucy introduced me to some of the maids and I didn't remember the name of all of them as they were just too many.



I was still thinking of the gateman but I didn't bring myself to ask Lucy anything about him because I didn't want her to start thinking that I liked him ( which is true) or something.

Wow nice ending.

thanks for reading till the end, I've started a new story already check out the first episode on my blog.

FINAL EPISODE:

I somehow rushed the ending of the story for some reasons but all the same, I'm glad I ended it on a good note. Thanks for taking time to read till the end. XOXOXO


�� Dave

 

Kemi kept disturbing me so I decided to slip her number into blacklist. Whew!

 

I may have had a little too much to drink last night just so I could kill the frustration that I was going through. Pat woke me up in the bar the next morning telling me to go and get ready for work. It was just a few minutes past seven.

 

My problems all returned to me as soon as I flicked my eyes open. I need to go to the bank and see what I can do about my account first before I go to work. No, maybe I should have the manager meet me instead.

 

I stood up staggering slightly and slowly ascended the stairs with Pat following behind. I was still wearing the clothes which I wore to work yesterday. Good Lord! I'm such a mess.

 

While I was having breakfast, I quickly went through my emails and WhatsApp messages to see if there was anything that I needed to attend to.

 

There were about fifteen messages from Kemi cursing and calling me names because I didn't get her the money she demanded for. I decided to leave her on read since I didn't have any answer ready for her. She's just being ungrateful and mannerless.

 

To worsen matters, my wife told me that she will also be coming to the office. I had to use all my persuasive skills to discourage her from doing so today.

 

I got on the road and arrived at the location of my meeting with the bank manager who happened to be a very pretty young thing. I paid little attention to her flirtatious smiles and she promised to look into the issue.

 

***

 

�PAT

 

I know there must be a ton of questions piled up for me. First of all, from the investigations of the EFCC following Steve's arrest, he confessed that Dave is the one who is in possession of all the diverted funds and they had to freeze his account and effect his arrest soon.

 

As for Kemi, the so called best friend of mine, I'm planning something big for her tonight. I just got off the phone with her and she told me that she's just received the extensions  she'll be using to make the wigs for my giveaway. Everything is in the shop. Excellent! My plans have all fallen in place.

 

My phone started ringing and I realized that it was one of the police officers who are handling the investigation into Mabel's death calling. They've arrested her killer based on the information of an anonymous eye witness who saw when he dumped her body in the shallow grave. God! How can people be this heartless?

 

The motive behind the murder was just because he was paid to do it by someone who he has refused to mention. This is really terrible!! I felt so disturbed by the news that I had to go out to the balcony of the third floor and get some air. It's a cruel world we live in.

 

***

Two Days Later...

 

�� Dave

 

So far so good, I'm still a free man as the EFCC have not come knocking on my door though my account is still freezed. One of the director's that my wife helped me to contact promised to have it rectified in a few days as it must be some sort of mistake.

 

 Also, Kemi has stopped disturbing me and I have not made any attempts to even contact her. My auntie on the other hand has started troubliing me for her daughter's school fees again. I will have to ask Pat for some money one of these days.

 

It was the sound of Pat's phone ringing that woke me up from sleep in the middle of the night as I turned frustratedly on the bed sitting up. I shook her vigorously to wake up but she wouldn't budge. Who the heck is calling at this time of the night?

It was Kemi! What does she want from my wife at this hour?

 

I picked up the call and my heart sank as I heard her wailing on the other end of the phone.

 

"What is going on Kemi?" I yelled in panic.

 

"My shop is gone. Everything has burned down Dave. I couldn't even get anything out. My business is gone, my life savings is gone. I'm finished Dave!" She wailed at the top of her lungs.

 

Pat finally woke up as she heard Kemi's voice over the phone since I'd put her on speaker.

 

"What's happening?" She queried sounding like she was annoyed.

 

"Kemi's shop is burning." I announced and her reaction surprised me.

 

"So? Is that why you put her speaker so she could disturb my sleep?" She continued and snatched the phone from my hand ending the call and going back to sleep.

 

"Pat what did you do that for?" I asked in fright.

 

"Just go to sleep Dave." She responded in a husky voice and started snoring pretending to be asleep. Now this is scary! Why is she behaving like this towards her best friend of all people?

 

****

 

Fast forward to the next morning which happened to be a Saturday, I woke up early and went to console Kemi at her house since Pat refused to go with me.

 

I found her sitting on the floor bawling her eyes out with Gabe holding her tight and trying to calm her down. Unlike other times, I wasn't jealous with the way he was holding her, in fact, I cared less at that point.

 

"How did it happen?" I asked after I'd taken a seat.

 

"I was asleep last night when a call on my phone woke me up that the fire service were trying to kill flames coming from my shop. I quickly got to the shop only to find everything turned to ashes. The worst part is that I took a loan a few days back to buy extensions to make wigs for your wife, now everything is gone." She explained before breaking down in to tears.

 

As she was about saying something else, the front door opened and Pat stormed in angrily wearing all black followed by two of her security men.

 

"Hello Family or should I say snakes." She said firmly stressing every single word before dramatically taking off her dark shades.

 

I was shocked beyond measure at her statement as I swallowed nervously.

 

"What do you mean Pat?" Kemi managed to voice out.

 

"Oh shut up Kemi, you murderer!" She yelled angrily.

 

"Oh you thought I don't know that you're the one who killed my unborn child?" She screamed holding her belly as tears ran down her face.

 

"I'm not as wicked as you are Kemi. At least I only burned down the shop." She said with an evil laugh.

 

"What are you talking about Pat?" I asked in shock.

 

"As for you Gabe, you're just so ungrateful after all I've done for you, you stood with your brother and pulled the wool over my eyes. And you David, you're a cheat, a liar and a heartless monster." She ranted and gave me a sly smile placing her phone on her ear. Oh Lord, she knew about everything all this while?

 

The front door opened again and men wearing EFCC and police vests stormed into the room with Steve and one other guy in hand cuffs. Now I'm scared.

 

"What is going on here?" Gabriel and I asked simultaneously.

 

"You're under arrest David Arinze for money laundering, advance fee fraud and multiple counts of corruption." One of the EFCC officials said handcuffing me and I looked at Pat and Steve who was badly beaten and bruised.

 

"It's over for you Dave. All this is on you 419." She spat out with a smirk.

 

They also handcuffed Gabriel and Kemi after also stating their own charges. We all cried and begged for her mercy which she was not ever considering to offer. The other guy turned out to be the person who Kemi contracted to murder Mabel.

 

We're done for! I'm done for!! The officers dragged us out of the house ignoring all our pleas and threw us into their car taking us to the station. There's no doubt, we're all going to rot in prison for ever messing with someone like Pat.

 

 

******

 

One Year Later....

 

� PAT

 

My people, trust no one. I've learned that the hard way.

 

At least in my case, I've been able to live through hell and tell others about it.

 

As for the scammers and muderers that I'd surrounded myself with, they're all in prison now. Dave's family members started sending petty threats so I had to relocate to another estate after they'd signed an undertaking never to bother me again.

 

And guess what, me and June's Dad have decided to get back together since I'm no longer married to Dave. I'm now Patricia Kanayo again.

 

Bayo (June's Dad) and I broke up because he insisted on going abroad for an advanced educational course against my wish.

 

When he heard that I'd gotten married which I did to spite him, he refused to return to Nigeria so he would never have to face me but still called once in a while to know how his daughter was doing.

 

As soon as he heard that I was no longer married, he decided to come back home and continue from where we left off in our relationship.

 

The saying is sure; what's meant to be is gonna be. Right now, I'm planning a wedding with the man I love, my baby daddy himself, my first love not to please or anger anyone but because he is the one that I wanna wake up next to for the rest of my life.

"Hey sweetie." Dave greeted rather perfunctorily and gave me a little peck on the cheek as he walked into our bedroom.

 

"Evening babe." I responded adjusting myself on the bed. I've been feeling some discomfort in my belly all evening.

 

He looked pretty down as he silently took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom.

 

My phone started ringing as soon as he walked into the bathroom. It was my CSO calling.

 

 I picked up and silently crept out of the room heading downstairs where I could answer the call more privately.

 

As expected, he had some valuable information for me on my WhatsApp. I quickly checked my WhatsApp and found a photo of Dave and Kemi hugging each other in a public place which looked like a hotel. It was not just some ordinary hug.

 

I ran up the stairs and back into our bedroom where I found his phone on the nightstand. I have never checked my husband's phone ever since we got married but right now, everything is different and he's given me no choice.

 

I listened closely to the sound of the shower running in the bathroom and quickly unlocked his phone heading straight to Whatsapp where I searched for Kemi's contact but found none so I decided to type in her number instead.

 

Her contact was saved as 'Paul' unbelievable! I entered her message thread and started going through their chats.

 

Ranging from nude photos to erotic videos and language, I saw it all! I wiped the tears that flowed down my face as I kept scrolling through the messages. Kemi has been sleeping with my husband for God knows how long and according to their conversations, he's responsible for her pregnancy.

 

As soon as I heard the shower cease, I quickly minimized the app locking the screen as I jumped back into the bed pretending to be asleep.

 

The bathroom door opened and closed again as Dave walked into the room and sat on the bed probably applying lotion or whatever he was doing. That was the last thing I remembered as I slowly dozed off with tears in my eyes.

 

I woke up in the middle of the night as I felt cramps on my abdomen. It felt like I was having menstrual cramps. Grabbing my hurting tummy with two hands, I tried to get out of bed as fresh tears filled my eyes. What's wrong with me?

 

My legs felt so weak as the pain kept on getting worse.

 

"Dave, Dave!" I called shaking him vigorously to wake up.

 

He turned round on the bed and sat up after switching on the bedside lamp.

 

"Are you okay?" He asked as he saw the tears in my eyes and I shook my head unable to say anything.

 

The sheets felt like they were soaked in water and I managed to uncover the blanket from my body and took a look at the spot I was lying on, I was bleeding. Even Dave was shocked as he jumped out of bed.

 

"The baby Dave, I'm losing the baby." I screamed in tears as realization set in and Dave lifted me off the bed and rushed out of the room running down the stairs.

 

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what was happening to me. I'm losing my baby.

 

****

 

According to the doctor, there was something I'd taken earlier on which triggered the abortion.

 

I tried to recall everything I ate or drank that day.

 

Wait,wait, wait, wait, I drank a bottle of Pepsi at Kemi's shop today. Did she really poison my drink? There's no doubts that she's the one. Now I know that she's cheap, evil, petty and capable of anything.

I'm so going to put an end to her miserable existence on the face of the planet.

 

***

 

After a few days, I was discharged from the hospital and returned home feeling really pained. I'm going to exact full revenge on Dave and Kemi.

 

While I was in the hospital, Ade had told me about the EFCC's discovery. Steve confessed that Dave was the one who has been influencing the account statement preparation over the years. He's been diverting company funds for personal use. Thirty seven million naira has not been accounted for.

 

***

 

"Girlfriend, how are you feeling?" Kemi asked touching my forehead. Honestly, I felt like grabbing her neck and choking the life out of her. But murder is the last thing I'll ever think of committing.

 

"How does it look like I'm feeling? I mean I just lost a baby." I rapped sounding furious.

 

"Calm down girl, I'm sure you'll get pregnant again. Don't kill yourself with worry. Just relax your mind." She advised and I flicked her a bitter smile. Kemi is a hypocrite. Listen to her advising me on how to live my life. Well for starters, I'll have to ruin her's a bit.

 

"I'm thinking about doing a giveaway on Instagram." I said instead which kinda surprised her.

 

"What type of giveaway are we talking about here?" She asked curiously.

 

"Uhm, a wig giveaway perhaps." I replied with a casual shrug and she smiled a bit knowing that she'll be the one to supply all the wigs.

 

"How many units are we talking about here?"

 

"About a hundred units of long curly fringe wigs. Make it 5 million naira. That's my budget." Which also happens to be more than half of the money she is doing business with.

 

"Okay, so when is the giveaway starting?"

 

"In two weeks."

 

"Okay fine, I'll order go order for extensions so I can start working on them."

 

"And I'll get you your cash as soon as the products are delivered."

 

"That one isn't a problem dear. I know you're more than capable. I'll have to be on my way then so I could get everything in place." She said standing up to take her leave after giving me a warm hug that felt so real. She's going to see pepper in a few days.

 

***

 

�� Dave

 

I came home from work early today and found my wife asleep on the couch. She hasn't been at work ever since she came home from the hospital.

 

Losing our first baby together has really left her terribly heartbroken.

 

"Sweetie, I'm home." I said as I tried waking her up.

 

"You're back." She said yawning and stretching on the couch. Her eyes looked puffy apparently from crying for days now.

 

"Yeah let's go upstairs so you can rest up." I spoke with genuine concern for her.

 

"Okay, have you had dinner?" She asked as she stood up supporting herself on my arm.

 

"I just stepped in. Where's June?"

 

"At her grandmother's house." She responded tiredly as we made our way up the stairs.

 

My phone vibrated and I checked the screen to find out that it's Kemi calling.

 

"I'll be with you in a second." I told Pat and she gave me a little nod walking into the bedroom.

 

"What is it this time K?" I blurted out angrily.

 

"Can you just give me a two million naira loan? I promise to pay you back in two weeks." She demanded firmly making me even angrier.

 

"Did you give me any money to keep for you uhn?"

 

"I said I'll pay you back in two weeks abeg. Just do a transfer or something. I want to place an order tonight." She continued rudely.

 

"I don't have any money for..."

 

"Listen, I'm carrying your child Dave, don't talk to me like I'm some side chick. Just send me the money tonight." She rapped and ended the call.

 

I sighed defeatedly and pressed on my banking app. After inputting my pin, I tried sending her one million but got an error message that all transactions have been blocked on my account. Impossible!!

 

Heading straight to my call log, I dialled my account manager's number and he shocked me when he informed me that my account has been freezed by the EFCC. Wha

 

I stormed into the bedroom and found Pat applying some lotion on her face. She only looked towards the door for a split second and returned to what she was doing.

 

"The EFCC froze my account. Do you know anything about this?" I asked standing akimbo.

 

"No I don't. It must be a mistake." She responded sounding like she wasn't a bit concerned about it.

 

"So what do I do now?" I asked in panic.

 

"Tomorrow morning you call the bank and I'll help you call the EFCC. Satisfied?"

 

I stood there looking at her speechlessly as the thoughts of why the EFCC would be on to me flashed through my mind and the fact that it's happening at the same time that Steve has been absent from work for about two weeks now and is nowhere to be found either.

 

After several minutes, I finally gathered enough strength to walk out of the room. I need to get some fresh air or I might kill myself. I mean why all this problems now? First it was my house getting marked, now this. Good Lord, help me.

Episode 7:


�️Ivy

 

A minute later and I could hear Trevor laughing loudly with someone. A girl's voice was heard as well.

 

I pretended to be busy with the sauce as I heard their footsteps approaching the direction of the kitchen.

 

The door opened and they walked into the kitchen together.

 

I turned to face them and my eyes almost popped out of my head.

 

OMG!! This girl is something more than Trevor described.

I saw a taller version of Nicki Minaj standing beside him.

His hands on her sleek waist.

 

She wore a tight fitting Levi high jeans trousers and a strapless lace crop top which did nothing for her huge chest region.

 

Her red hair was tied up in a ponytail and her heavy make up shaped her face and perfected it's beauty.

 

She was smacking and blowing bubbles on her gum noisily.

 

To be honest, I'm nothing like her. She's totally a Barbie.

 

"Babe meet my friend Ivy" He said to her pointing at me.

Wow! 'friend' not even best friend.

"Ivy meet my new girlfriend Halle" he continues.

 

She eyes me up and down suspiciously like I was tryna take her man. How pathetic!!

(Well, I kinda wanna take her man somehow)

 

I faked a smile and extended my hand to shake hers. She slightly wrapped her long painted nails around my palm and shook it gently. She had cobwebs tatted on the back of her palm. Just great.

I was mentally rolling my eyes constantly.

 

I returned to the food and turned down the heat.

 

By now they've resumed chatting and laughing again making me wish I could just shut my ears or dig up a hole and disappear inside.

 

I dished out two servings of the pasta and sauce. I don't think I have the appetite for dinner tonight or tomorrow or the next. I should prolly go get wasted at home.

 

They sat down to eat while I left after taking a long time to convince Trevor to let me go.

 

I stormed out of the house immediately feeling pained as I got into my new whip and drove back to my house.

 

I'm certainly going to down a few bottles tonight.

�Next Morning

 

I woke up on the couch falling on the living room floor with a thud.

 

 

An empty bottle of Whiskey which was lying on its side rolled down from the table and hit me on the forehead. I groaned and tried sitting up straight. My head hurts and my throat feels funny.

 

I stand up and staggered out of the room holding anything close by for support.

 

I got upstairs and straight to my room. I haven't even checked the time and I don't care. It's a Sunday morning and I'm not going to work today.

 

I got into my bathroom and filled the tub with cold water.

 

I dumped my clothes in a messy pile on the floor as I stepped into the tub.

 

My body reacted to the coldness of the water by developing goosebumps from head to toe.

 

I felt a little more relaxed even though my thoughts still travelled back to last night's incident. I'm guessing she slept over at his place. But I don't care anymore.

 

After sitting in the tub for what seemed like hours, I got out and took a proper shower before stepping out of the bathroom.

 

It was already 2 in the afternoon and I've just finished cleaning up around the house.

 

I was still eating lunch when I got a call from Po. I was needed at the trap.

 

I dumped the plates in the sink and ran to the bedroom to get dressed.

 

A few minutes later, I was speeding to the trap with the top down playing 'Swerve' by Headie One.

 

�In my foreign and I swerve...

 

I kept singing along still driving at top speed until I got to the trap. The guys were on the streets playing basketball.

 

They started whistling and cheering as I got down from the car.

 

"Baby girl..... you balling" Max exclaimed as he squeezed me in a hug.

 

"Lil mama copped a nu foreign at last" Ty also commented in his usually bold and intimidating voice as they got to where the car was parked and checked it out in admiration.

 

I mean my little Audi isn't a big deal compared to Po's yellow stallions Ferrari or their own cool cars.

 

The guys kept playing as the 'Dunno' by Nasty c blasted loud on the car radio.

 

A few minutes later, Trevor's car pulled up behind mine and he stepped out wearing sunshades and a black knee-length leather jacket buttoned up.

 

He looked as cool as usual with his uncombed hair of course.�

I get lost for a second staring at him until he gets to where I was and jerks me out of my thoughts.

 

"Hey squirrel" he greets with a smirk

"Hey squirt" I shot back looking away from him.

 

"Count me in guys!" I screamed over the loud music as I took my hoodie off revealing my sports bralette which was underneath.

 

I jumped into the pitch and secured the ball and dribbled them all throwing the ball straight into the net.

 

"Drop down, gimme two points suckas" I yelled excitedly throwing my right hand in the air and sticking my tongue out like I was 'Megan thee Stallion'.

 

The guys doubled in fits of laughter as we did high fives. I noticed Trevor was staring hard with a smile playing on his lips. I gave him a wink and looked away.

 

I was still holding the ball and bouncing it around when Po's Ferrari pulled up with the top down and Katie sitting by his side.

 

"Kill Joy" I muttered as I tossed the ball at Denny and went back to get my hoodie from the hood of my car.

 

We exchanged greetings before the garage door rolled up and we all drove into the warehouse.

 

One thing about the trap is that, you should never leave your car unattended no matter what!

 

� Inside

 

Today, Po wants us to pay a visit to his old friend- Roman.

 

Yonas- one of our guys who was undercover in Roman's gang had informed us of his whereabouts and we are supposed to grab him and his stash. While the rest of the crew will go set his warehouses on fire.

Po's plan is to reduce thugging in ATL.

 

And by 'we' I'm referring to myself, Trevor, and Denny. It's a sort of heist.

 

� Currently at the Location.

 

Roman's location is hidden deep in the trap.

 

We had laid down plans already;

I'm supposed to bring Trevor in as my prisoner. I'm supposed to exchange him for some quick cash.

 

After downing the guards outside the door, I kick the door and barge into the building dragging Trevor with me.

 

As expected, all weapons in the house are pointed at the direction of the door.

 

"Which one of you is Roman?" I question unfazed by all the weapons pointed at me.

 

After a little hesitation, a familiar voice from behind speaks up. It's Yonas' voice.

 

"And who is asking?" He says as he steps into my view.

 

"The Grim Reaper" I reply sarcastically maintaining a straight face.

 

"You look like Karma to me. And last I heard, she's still a....

 

"Alright! alright!! whatever!!! Now gimme Roman will ya" I butted in before he could complete his statement.

 

Just as I finished talking, I heard a door creak open from behind the guys and a gruffy guy stepped forward.

 

Soy Roman, Quédeseas?

(I'm Roman, what do you want?)

 

"Oh Spanish uhn?" I replied with a giggle. I understood Spanish perfectly.

(Tengo un buen trato para ti)

I have a good deal for you.

I added

 

He smiled as I continued. I was trading Trevor to him for 20 grand which he agreed to since he knows that Trevor works for Po. I claimed that I have left Cash house.

 

I followed him into another room still dragging Trevor along and gave Yonas a knowing wink for him to play his own part.

 

I hope this plan doesn't backfire.

Episode 15


�PAT

 

As Regina made to answer my burning questions, a call came into my phone. It was the police officer who was in charge of the investigation into Mabel's disappearance.

 

I received the greatest shock of my life when he told me that they have found her body which was buried in a shallow grave somewhere not too far from town. Father Lord!!! She was raped and shot dead. Who could have done such evil? Dave is going to be devastated when he hears this.

 

After I was done with the call, I returned to my conversation with Regina as I repeated my previous questions.

 

"I'm sorry ma but I can't say." She responded shaking her head.

 

"I promise, I won't hold it against you just tell me what you know please." I begged.

 

 

"Your husband has been Cheating on you with all the maids." She dropped the bombshell and my mouth dropped wide open as a little scream escaped my lips.

 

"And I overheard him telling his auntie about a house he's building." She continued. Oh no! I'm finished!! Who I'm I married to?

 

"This can't be true Regina, this can't be true." I yelled in tears.

 

 

"It's true ma, I once saw Naomi going into your bedroom and stayed there for so long before coming out." She added and my anger hit the roof immediately.

 

"Say no more Regina." I shouted as my voice collapsed into a whimper and buried my face on my desk bawling my eyes out.

 

After several minutes of consolation, Regina finally left my office and I sat there morose and defeated. I picked up my phone to call Kemi and tell her about this but quickly shook such thought off my mind.

 

This was primarily for two reasons. First of all; I'm too ashamed to tell her about the fact that my husband has been sleeping with my maids on my matrimonial bed and building a house behind my back. Does he plan to divorce me?

 

Secondly, the news will somehow find it's way back to Dave. And I don't want that.

 

Dave mustn't know about this until I'm ready for it. For now, there's no single shred of trust left.

 

I unlocked my phone which was still my hands and dialled my CSO's number. I need to know where my husband is building the house and also where he's getting the money from as well as every single place he goes to and the people he meets with.

 

The next person I should call is my cousin Lisa. She has the answers for everything emotional.

 

*******

 

"So have they found the killers?" Dave asked and I shook my head.

 

Well, me and Dave are currently in the car heading home from work. I've just finished telling him about Mabel's death and his reaction is the opposite of what I had expected.

 

I'm presently doing my best job at acting. Faking smiles and telling jokes to Dave like nothing is wrong.

The man I built is hurting me, I have no choice but to return the favor.

 

 

�� Dave:

 

Pat told me about the police finding Mabel's corpse. This is so messed up. Kemi needs to hear about this.

 

I whipped out my phone and dialled her number. Thankfully, she picked up at the last ring.

 

"Kemi, listen the police have found Mabel's body." I announced as soon as the call connected.

 

"I don't know what you are talking about Dave." She said rather bluntly and hung up on me before I could say more. Good Lord! This girl is crazy!!

 

*****

 

Two Days Later...

 

The sound of my phone ringing on the nightstand woke me up from sleep that morning. It was the contractor who's handling the building project calling. I looked at Pat's side of the bed but she was nowhere to be found.

 

He was calling to inform me that my house has been marked for demolition. Impossible!! There must be a mistake somewhere.

 

I rushed out of bed and quickly got ready to head out to the site. By the time I went downstairs, I found Pat busy arguing with someone on the phone. She was already dressed and ready to go to work. Where did she pass the night yesterday? because she didn't come upstairs to our room all through the previous night. Maybe she was downstairs working.

 

After greeting her with a wave of the hand, I rushed out of the house like a mad man and jumped into one of the cars heading straight to the site where the contractor and other workers were already waiting for me to show up.

 

***

 

"You seemed like you had a plane to catch in the morning." Pat said as she sat down on my large office table.

 

"Yeah, I Uhm, someone was waiting for me in Lekki." I replied with a little stutter and she gave me a nod. Thought she was going to ask further questions on who I was meeting with but surprisingly, she didn't. Is she suspecting anything? Does she even believe what I told her?

 

After discussing on a couple random topics, she returned to her office leaving me alone trapped in deep thoughts. I have to find out why my house has been marked for demolition and how to fix the issue. I can't fold my arms and allow my house to get pulled down.

 

 

�PAT

 

My CSO has done a great job in keeping constant taps on Dave's whereabouts and has been giving me a whole lot of updates.

 

In case you are wondering what I've been able to uncover, well you'll get to know in due time.

 

Right now, I've fired every single female staff in my household and hired guys to replace them. Like you'd guess, my ashawo of a husband was totally against the idea of hiring males to replace the ladies but who cares? It's my roof, my rules!

 

My desk phone rang and I picked up almost immediately. It was Rita calling to inform me of the auditor's presence outside my door.

 

The door opened and Ade the auditor walked in with a file in his hand.

 

"We're going down to bankruptcy in a year if we continue like this." He said as I went through the audit report back and forth shaking my head as I fought back tears. My company is sinking and I didn't even realize until now.

 

I picked up the account statement that Steve had sent to me a few days ago and went through it all over again and found the ridiculous amounts of money spent on useless things.

 

"Get the EFFC, have Steve arrested without raising any alarm." I ordered.

 

"Yes ma." Ade said and walked out of the office with his phone on his ear.

Episode 6


 � Trevor

 

To say that I am mad would be the biggest understatement of the year.

 

I stood there staring at myself in the bathroom mirror.

 

"Congratulations big fool! She doesn't want you" I yelled to my reflection in the mirror.

 

I was so pissed off that I slammed my fist into the mirror breaking it to pieces.

 

 Blood gushed out of my knuckles immediately. That's when I came back to my senses again.

 

I just hurt myself, thanks to my nasty temper.

 

One might wonder;

Why is he always angry?

 

I started having temper issues when I lost my mum. She meant the world to me but my drunk of a father took her away from me because of his excessive drinking.

 

She developed high blood pressure because of over thinking about him and overworking to take care of the family. She died from a bloody heart attack.

 

I stood there trapped in my own thoughts as my eyes started to well up.

 

I blinked rapidly Fighting back the tears as I kept staring at the broken mirror on the wall.

 

The door opened and Ivy walked in.

She looked pretty alarmed and frightened to see me in this state.

 

My knuckles were still bleeding making the bathroom floor red with blood.

 

She rushed to where I was and took hold of my hand to examine the wound.

 

She had an effect on me that I can't explain. Whenever she touches me, my insides melt and my anger goes away instantly.

 

She dragged me to the sink and turned on the faucet guiding my knuckles under the running water while gently washing off the blood.

 

She later cleaned up the wound and dressed it before proceeding to clean up the mess that I'd made on the floor.

 

We didn't say anything to each other and we didn't dare look each other in the eye.

 

She practically led me back to the bedroom and sat down on the bed with me still avoiding my gaze.

 

�️Ivy

 

After a few minutes of sitting on his bed in silence, I finally mustered some courage and spoke up;

 

"I...uhm.. I..." I stuttered and trailed off.

 

"I think you need to rest up so we can get up early for our round in the morning" I managed to say.

 

He neither replied nor made a move.

 

I looked up to see him glaring at me and clenching his jaws like he was so pissed off. That was when I realized that I was still holding his hand and immediately I saw the look on his face, I let go of him.

 

Based on what my intuition was telling me, I hugged him tight but he didn't respond. He just sat there!

 

He gently pushed me away and climbed into the bed muttering a good night.

 

That was cold, now I understand what it feels like to be rejected. It hurts like crazy...

 

I stood up from the bed and walked to his closet. I picked out an 'Atlanta Hawks' jersey and walked into the bathroom with it.

 

☀️ Next morning

 

It's currently 5:27 and we're resting quietly on the hood of Trevor's car waiting for our customer(s) to show up in an out of the way location may I add.

 

Just after glancing at my wrist watch for the umpty-umpth time, a blue Toyota Tacoma drives in and pulls up in the distance and our 'customer' steps out.

 

"If it isn't Po's little dormouse and her sidekick" the man says in a high pitched voice and laughs at his own joke.

 

"It's squirrel and wolf for you Manny" I reply as he gets close enough for me to recognize him.

 

"Better not get bitten" He replies and bursts into another round of laughter.

 

"What wolf doesn't howl?" He continues as he observes Trevor's silence.

 

I simply scoffed and rolled my eyes. It's too early to argue with Manny of all people who I'm sure, hasn't brushed his teeth for today yet.

 

"Whatcha doin up in Dougville" I ask trying to be nice.

 

"Finding me some greener pastures, ATL is troubled waters" he answered in that same high pitched voice.

 

By now, Trevor had gotten out our merchandise from the trunk and placed it on the hood.

 

He opened the bag and Manny examined it's contents to confirm that everything was intact before handing us the bag he was holding and we also confirmed that our cash was complete.

 

"Nice doing business again with you Manny." I said shaking his hands.

 

"And oh.... ATL is for the big fish, if you come back, you just might get eaten" I added repeating his own joke in a different way.

 

He doubled in fits of high pitched laughter as he watched us get in the car and zoom off.

 

"You should have at least smiled at my joke Trevor" I said breaking the awkward silence in the car.

 

"I was one minute away from punching him in the face" he replied tightening his hold on the steering wheel and clenching his jaws.

 

I huffed and decided to keep quiet since I knew that the conversation wasn't going to lead anywhere.

 

At a few minutes past 6, he dropped me off in front of my house.

 

"Care for breakfast?" I asked as I got out of the car.

 

"I'll pass" he replied angrily and zoomed off without even looking at me. Again, Trevor never passes up on a free food offer.

 

"Boy needs to go for some anger management courses" I thought as I tugged my hands into the hoodie pocket (Yes, I'm presently wearing Trevor's oversized clothes) as i walked to my front door.

 

I got inside and let out a deep breath.

 

I walked into the kitchen and dropped my phone on the island getting ready to make myself some breakfast. I was starving already.

****

 

"...and he just left me standing like a fool on the sidewalk" I said concluding the narration of my story to Katie.

 

"It's true that Tboy took it a little too far but y'all been kissing for ages, no harm, no foul so why you wanna stop now?" She queried raising her right hand dramatically.

 

"Guess I was tripping" I replied also raising my hand.

 

"Eish! Whatever! So when you gonna get yo new car?" She asked handing me a dish for me to wipe.

 

"Later in the day" I replied tryna smile.

 

"Po says we should get some extra hands on deck" Katie continues

 

"Overprotective baby daddy" I said with a chuckle causing Katie to laugh and rub her tummy.

 

Well I couldn't agree less, we needed more people to help out here in the eatery.

 

"So what typa car you wanna get?" She continues.

 

"A drop top from Audi" I say with a shrug

 

Her eyes light up when I mentioned drop top as she squealed and hugged me excitedly.

 

� Tonight

 

I return home with my first brand new car. The old Chevy was a used car that I bought since the early days of my hustling.

 

I pull up in Trevor's driveway and get out of the car and rushed to his front door.

 

I knocked on the door and a tired looking Trevor opened up.

 

"What's up?" Trevor asks

 

"Meet my new baby!" I sing cheerfully pointing to the blue beauty (ie my new Audi) sitting in the driveway.

 

I could see his lips curving into a wide smile as he draws me in for a hug sweeping me off my feet.

 

He was really excited about my new car.

 

We jumped into the car and he revved the engine continuously before finally driving out onto the main Street at top speed.

 

He let the top down and the cold night breeze hit my face blowing my hair in the wind.

 

'Motorsport' by Migos, Cardi b and Nicki Minaj was playing.

 

Whooo ooooh!!!

 

We drove for a while before turning back home.

 

We got out of the car and he hugged me again lifting me off the ground and taking me inside.

 

We were so excited about the car that we got carried away in excitement as I kissed him tenderly wrapping my legs around him.

 

He dropped me on the couch and broke the kiss.

 

"Now, don't you ever think of pushing me away Mami, it hurt my feelings" he warns sternly and I nod smiling sheepishly.

 

His knuckles were no longer bandaged but his wounds were still very visible and sore.

 

"Yes sir" I reply and give him a mock salute making him burst into laughter.

 

I just got my love back.

 

"Now let's make some dinner" I continue as I get up and run to the kitchen yelling 'catch me if you can'

 

"Let's make some pasta" he suggests as he hugs me from behind placing kisses on my neck.

 

"Eish! Lemme concentrate will ya!" I shoo him off playfully as I poured the pasta into the pot.

 

We chatted and laughed so hard for a while before the doorbell rang.

 

"Your doorbell still works?" I ask Trevor in Surprise while still stirring the pot of tomato sauce.

 

"Yup! I guess" he replies with a little chuckle and a shrug as he walks off to answer the door.

 


I wonder who is at the door at this hour?

Monday Afternoon.....

 

�� Dave

 

"Babe! Babe!! Babe!!!" Pat screamed as she ran into my office excitedly.

 

"What is the matter Sweetie?" I asked feeling confused about what was going on.

 

"Dr Femi called and the results are out." She said and I nodded for her to continue.

 

"I'm pregnant Dave, we're pregnant!" She screamed in excitement and I felt overjoyed carrying her in my arms as I kept shouting along with her in happiness. Fake happiness �

 

But wait a sec, underneath all this happiness, the fact that Kemi is still pregnant and has refused to go for the abortion was killing me.

 

And of all the times in the world, both women have to get pregnant at the same time. This is so frustrating.

 

"Let me go and tell Kemi, I'll be right back." She said happily returning back to her office. I pray that Kemi will change her mind and go ahead with the abortion after hearing this.

 

******

 

Fast forward to Saturday where we were currently sitting down for dinner with Kemi and Gabe also present for the first time since we fought.

 

"Guess what? We've got news for you guys." Kemi said clearing her throat. What does she have to say?

 

We all dropped our cutleries looking at her eagerly.

 

"Well, me and baby boy here have decided to take bold steps in our relationship. He asked me to marry him and I said yes!" She squealed excitedly clinging to Gabriel's arm before proceeding to show us the ring on her finger.

 

Pat left her seat and walked over to her side of the table to squeeze Kemi in a tight bear hug showering her with congratulations while me and Gabe kept giving each other awkward stares. He was equally as confused and uneasy as I was.

 

"So when did you propose?" I asked Gabe when the ladies disengaged from the hug.

 

"Yesterday evening at the mall." Kemi answered before Gabe could say anything.

 

"Sounds magical." Pat concurred as they kept blabbing about the engagement which I'm sure was all made up in her head. There's no guarantee, Kemi will soon tell my wife about the pregnancy. It's just a matter of time.

 

"So you proposed to Kemi?" I asked as soon as I dragged Gabe outside.

 

"That girl is a psychopath. She needs serious mental care." Gabe replied sounding annoyed.

 

"We need to force her to have an abortion or we're not safe." I spoke through gritted teeth.

 

"You mean, you are not safe. Don't drag me into this matter Dave." Gabriel retorted pointing his car keys in my face.

 

I shook my head as the reality hit me, I'm all alone in this mess that I've put myself into.

 

 

�PAT

 

"Good evening babe." I greeted my husband as I returned home from my meeting with a client that evening.

 

"Evening Sweetie." He replied rather perfunctorily and gave me a little kiss.

 

"What's up with you babe?" I asked feeling concerned.

 

"Nothing. I'm just stressed out." He said rubbing his forehead. I know that he's lying. I wonder what is eating him up.

 

"Well, I've got good news, Kemi is also pregnant. She informed me this morning." I announced excitedly sitting on his laps.

 

His reaction to the news was an unexpected one as I saw him roll his eyes slightly like he was waiting for the info or dissapointed that his brother is also expecting a baby at the same time with us.

 

"You don't look happy to hear this news. Why now?" I asked curiously.

 

"Nothing, it's all good." He said with a frown on his face.

 

I silently got up from his laps and carried my bag heading for the stairs. This is really unusual.

 

 

Next Afternoon:

 

"Madam, someone is here to see you by name Regina." Rita announced standing at the doorway of my office.

 

Regina?? I tried to recall the name and finally remembered that Regina was the maid who resigned weeks ago. I've been trying to locate her ever since the news of her resignation reached me and it proofed futile.

 

"Please let her in." I finally said after contemplating for a while.

 

"Good afternoon ma." Regina said as she walked into the office.

 

"Regina? I've been looking for you all over what happened to your phone number? And why did you resign?" I fired on, all in one breath as she smiled and got closer to my desk.

 

"Well, my phone had an issue with the battery. I've sent it for repairs concerning my job, I never resigned ma. I was fired." She answered slowly looking down at the floor.

 

"What? Fired??" I screamed in bewilderment and she nodded in affirmation.

 

"Please sit." I continued when I realized that she was still on her feet.

 

"Thank you ma." She said taking a seat.

 

"So who fired you?" I asked again itching for more information.

 

"Your husband ma."

 

"But why? What did you do wrong?"

 

"I didn't do anything ma. He said I was too nosy and talkative that's why he fired me. Being at places where I'm not supposed to." She explained.

 

"Nosy about what exactly? What did you find out in the process of this 'nosiness' "? I queried making air quotes.

Episode 5:


�Trevor's POV:

I found myself a seat at one of the tables in Ivy's eatery and Katie walked up to me.

 

After exchanging greetings, she wanted to know what I'd like to have.

 

"I'm not here to eat K, I'm here for Ivy"

 

"Oh you mean stubborn squirrel" she said with a laugh swaying from side to side as she clutched the menu tight with both hands.

 

 

That's when Ivy also walks in. Immediately she sights me, her face squeezes into a frown as she hurriedly approaches my table.

 

"I swear I'm going to kill you today Trevor" she says between gritted teeth as she gets to where I was.

 

Katie leaves us both to talk and returns to work.

 

I started laughing loudly making other customers turn towards our direction and give me looks like I was some sort of idiot.

 

Ivy wasn't fazed. She only tightened the frown on her face. She was really pissed off, but still very pretty.

 

"Why did you drug me Trevor?" She queries sternly taking a seat.

 

"I didn't expect you to wake up today you know?" I reply with a chuckle earning an even tighter frown from her.

 

She looked like an angry emoji. A very cute angry emoji.

 

"How are you feeling now? Is it still hurting?" I asked after a moment.

 

"Well yeah" she replied in a duh tone playing with her hair.

 

"Sorry about that Mami! Today's my date with Halle" I stated excitedly like a teenager who is going on his first date.

 

"Well then, good luck"She replies quickly with a scoff and sits back relaxing on the chair.

 

"Can I go back to work now?" She asks after a little silence.

 

"Yeah sure" I reply and she gets up almost immediately and walks away without even saying goodbye or looking back at me.

 

That's strange, she must still be mad at me for lacing her drinks or is she upset about the date.

 

This is my first date in ages!! I really needed her help on staying calm but with the look of things, she's not going to offer it. Guess I'm on my own in this one.

 

�️Ivy

 

Today was half good and half bad.

 

Half good because Katie informed me that she is 6 weeks pregnant and half bad because Trevor is going out on a date with a beautiful curvy girl named Halle.

 

From her name alone, I know she's gonna be really beautiful.

 

I got down from the cab and walked into my driveway. I don't think I'll be fixing my tire, I'm getting me a new car, I thought as I walked past my stupid Chevy truck.

 

I walked pass it cussing under my breath.

 

I unlocked the door and switched on my lights as I got in locking the door from inside.

 

As exhausted as I was, I slumped down unto the sofa.

 

I turned the TV on and switched to a music channel. 6ix9ine's song 'Gooba' was playing. I turned up the volume and went inside to get changed.

 

I felt very upset and I don't really have any appetite for dinner. I mean how I'm I supposed to eat knowing that the man I love so much is out there with another woman.

 

What I'm I supposed to feel?

I kept turning uncomfortably in the bed until I finally fell asleep a few minutes past midnight.

 

�Next Evening�

 

It's currently a Friday night and I'm at a loud party.

 

It was the norm for Po to throw a party on every Friday night.

Each and every one of us have to be present just in case a fight breaks out.

 

In street terms, we have to 'Rep our Clique'

 

I sat there in a corner swaying from side to side in my seat to the sound of 'Life is Good' by Future blasting loudly in the clubhouse.

 

The lights in here were dim and almost everyone in the room had a lighted blunt in his or her hand.

 

The smoke formed a semi cloud under the ceiling. The smell of alcohol mingled with weed was in itself totally intoxicating.

 

Po and Katie were seated in the VIP section. You're only allowed to sit in VIP if you have achieved anything special or Po just feels like it.

 

The wolf (I mean Trevor) was sitting right beside me blabbing about how his date with Halle was totally awesome.

 

I wish it had flopped but unfortunately, it didn't. I have tried to stop myself from feeling jealous about his relationship with this girl and just focus on my own happiness.

 

I tried to joke and laugh with him as usual. Plus, I was also a bit tipsy thanks to a couple glasses of vodka.

 

Later on, Po got up and ordered for the music to be turned down.

Okay, whenever he does that, there's always an important announcement or something that calls for celebration afterwards. I'm guessing tonight he's gonna tell us about Katie's pregnancy.

 

He held out his hand dramatically for Katie who immediately stood up and placed her hand in his.

 

She wore a sexy red dress with the side split in a v shape and held together by chains drilled into the fabric. The dress did very little work in covering her cleavage.

 

"Ahem..." Po began to speak seeing that everyone in the room was staring too much.

 

"Me and sugar here are expecting a baby together y'all" he continues excitedly as everyone in the room starts to cheer and clap.

 

"I'm bout to be a daddy suckas" he yells before kissing Katie while rubbing her still flat tummy.

 

Just after we drank a toast to them, a fight broke out between two girls at the party where one of them ended up busting the other's head with a bottle of Jack Daniels. Crazy right?

 

Plus, Trevor and I are supposed to move some merchandise to a customer in Douglasville before 5 o'clock the next morning which means, I'll have to sleep over at his place tonight so we could leave together the next day.

 

 

�At Trevor's Place

 

We got inside the house giggling sheepishly at the joke I made earlier.

 

I quickly took off the heels i was wearing which were killing me already and threw them on the floor still laughing loudly.

 

I'm sure my face was redder than tomato sauce already from laughing so hard.

 

By now, Trevor was done with locking the door and came over to sit with me on the couch.

 

His house was nicer than mine even though I have more money than he does and he drives a nice drop top too.

 

I wonder what I am really afraid of, starting from tomorrow, I'm going to start living like I own some.

 

"Guess wah?" I half sang to Trevor as I finally take my eyes off the TV screen.

 

"Tell me already, will ya?" Trevor replied lazily as he shifted closer to me and slinging his hand round my neck.

 

"I've considered getting a new whip" I replied breezily.

 

"Finally!! You bout to start ballin for real" he exclaimed happily and cupped my cheeks.

 

I didn't need anyone to tell me what's going to happen next. He brought his face closer and I shut my eyes opening my mouth slightly.

 

Immediately I felt his soft lips on mine, I regain my senses and push him away slightly adjusting myself and regaining my composure.

 

I could see the shock register on his face. This has never happened before. I have never resisted him and he has never resisted me either.

 

But there's always a first time for everything right?

 

"What the heck was that for?" He asks in Surprise.

 

"You have a girlfriend Tre...

 

"And since when did it ever matter?" He fired back cutting me off.

 

"Since now" I replied almost in a whisper.

 

"Oh wow!" He exclaims with a tone that depicted derision as he stood up and paced up and down the room.

 

"You've been acting weird recently Ivy, I mean you're changing and it's not for the best" he yells before storming off headed for the stairs.

 

I let out a huge sigh of relief as I sat there watching his retreating figure ascend the stairs.

 

"I need to talk to him" I muttered to myself as I got up and also ran up the stairs.

EPISODE 13:


A Husband's Secret

 

Two Weeks Later:

 

�� DAVE

 

"Check mate!!!" Pat screamed excitedly. I can't believe she won again.

 

Don't get lost, me and Pat were currently sitting on our bed playing chess together on a Saturday morning and she's won three consecutive times already.

 

"Oh no!!" I groaned defeatedly as she kept jubilating and sticking her tongue out at me. So annoying.

 

A knock sounded on the door followed by one of the maid's voice. She was bringing us breakfast. I stood up and walked to the door. I returned to the room with the tray of food in my hands and dropped it on the bed.

 

"Fried eggs, looks yummy!" Pat squealed in anticipation and didn't waste any time to dig in.

 

She covered her mouth like she was about to throw up as she jumped out of the bed and ran to the bathroom.

 

I also dropped my fork in the tray and ran after her.

 

"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly as she washed her hands after vomiting everything she'd swallowed that morning.

 

"Yeah I'm okay. My mouth tastes funny. She answered as she applied some toothpaste to her brush.

 

"Let me call Dr Femi or should I take you to see him?"

 

"Call him please." She said and I nodded going back to the bedroom to make the call while she tried brushing her teeth.

 

We run tests every single month. I hope she's ok cuz it's very unlikely for her to be vomiting.

 

*****

 

Femi was not in town so he sent one of the doctors in his hospital who came around one hour later and took some blood samples and stuff to go run some tests.

 

He gave her some tablets to help with the vomiting and nausea. We're expecting a result in 48 hours when Femi will be around to conduct the test by himself.

 

In the afternoon, Pat decided to go and get her nails done at Kemi's store while I stayed home playing with June.

 

She came home about two hours later looking really upset.

 

"What happened you look really vexed?" I queried in bemusement as I struggled to open the freezing pack of ice cream which she bought for me.

 

"I saw Gabriel today." She responded rather bluntly. Speak of the devil, I've not set my eyes on him since that day we fought. He and his fake girlfriend have not been coming for dinner as they used to.

 

"And what did he do to you?" I asked again dropping the ice cream on the table.

 

"I saw him with another woman Dave, and he had the audacity to introduce her as his girlfriend." She yelled and I pretended to be at a loss for words.

 

"What does he take Kemi for uhn? Must all guys cheat?" She yelled again sounding even more enraged as she got up and made her way up the stairs with the second pack of ice cream which was for June who was already taking her nap upstairs.

 

Mad oh! Gabriel annoys me so much sometimes. I let out a little sigh and left the sitting room heading for the stairs as well. I need to calm her down. Now my wife knows that cheating is in our blood, she won't stop suspecting and watching me.

 

 

*Sunday morning....

 

As I was busy getting ready for church, a call came into my phone which was lying on Pat's makeup table.

 

Pat helped pass the phone to me. It was Gabriel calling.

 

"Gabriel,why didn't you pick up my call throughout yesterday?" I asked when I picked up the call.

 

"I'm sorry bro, I need to see you, it's very important." He replied.

 

"I'm about to leave for church and if it's money you're looking for, better forget it because I don't have any money for you." I retorted without any hesitation.

 

"It's about Kemi. Just hurry down here."

 

"What happened?"

 

"Just get here first." He said and hung up on me.

 

"What's the matter babe? Did something happen to Gabe or Kemi?" Pat asked looking at me intently.

 

"I don't know sweetie. I'll have to go find out by myself." I answered loosening my tie.

 

"Should I come with you?" She inquired worriedly.

 

"No Pat, just go to church with June while I take care of this." I answered assuringly giving her a peck on the cheek before storming out of the room like a maniac.

 

****

 

At Gabriel's Place:

 

"I said I'm pregnant Dave, how many times do I have to repeat myself?" Kemi yelled angrily throwing her hands in the air.

 

"And how I'm I sure it's mine?" I queried in annoyance.

 

"You've also been sleeping with Gabriel here." I continued pointing at Gabriel.

 

"Don't drag me into any of this D, me and Kemi only got down once." Gabriel countered.

 

"And I was already pregnant then." Kemi added making my eyes widen in Surprise.

 

"What? Why didn't you say so?"

 

"Because I tried to have it aborted but it just won't budge. The doctor said I was risking my life because...

 

"Because what?" I yelled like I was going to bring down the roof.

 

"Because I've done too many abortions already. I've aborted up to three babies for you Dave. It's just that I never told you about it every time." She explained rasping my temper even more.

 

"I put it to you that you are lying Kemi." I said through gritted teeth and she rolled her eyes at me.

 

"How far along are you now Kemi?" Gabriel asked as I paced round the room contemplating what step to take.

 

"Eleven weeks." She answered and my mouth went wide with shock.

 

"You will have that abortion, I don't care if you've had a hundred abortions before now Kemi, I don't care if you die in the process but there's no way in hell that you are having that baby. I mean don't you have senses? Pat is your best friend." I yelled clapping my hands.

 

"You should have thought about that when you started sleeping with me behind her back. And talking about senses, you don't have any because if you do, you would have thought about the fact that you and your beloved wife haven't been able to produce a single child for five whole years." She rapped mockingly and I landed her a slap on the face letting my anger get the better of me.

 

"You slapped me?" She asked in tears holding her cheek.

 

"And I'll do more than that if Pat gets to hear anything about that thing you call pregnancy." I said storming out of the room.

 

"Dave!!! Dave!! Wait up!!" Gabriel yelled running after me while Kemi's cries kept resounding in the room.

soon and very soon

Episode 4

�️Ivy:

Next morning, I wake up stretching myself on my bed as the sound of my new phone ringing jolts me out of my sweet sleep.

 

It's Katie calling. I pick up immediately. Turns out that she wants me to get some stuff that ran out at the eatery on my way to work.

 

I disconnect the call and get out of bed sluggishly. I may have had a few drinks last night and I would have loved to sleep more but, I need to get to work.

 

I turned on the tap and washed my hands before splashing some of the water on my face. I brushed my teeth afterwards before stepping into the shower.

 

I wore a pair of black ripped jeans trousers and a blue basic t-shirt which exposed the squirrel tattoo on my arm. I checked myself in the mirror repeatedly before walking out of the room. I rarely wear any makeup except when the occasion demands it.

 

I got to the kitchen and picked out an apple from the fridge and took a large bite. I rarely eat at home in the mornings. As I was still munching on the tasty apple, a soft knock sounded on my door. It was just 7:03 in the morning, I wonder who was at the door.

 

I carefully dropped my apple on the kitchen counter and quietly approached the door with the keys jangling in my hand.

 

I looked out the window and saw Trevor at the door. I quickly unlocked the door and stepped aside for him to get in.

 

"Good morning mami." He greeted in his usual enchanting and sweet sounding voice as he walks into the room and extends his arms for a hug.

 

"Morning sweaty." I respond with a laugh and step away from him making him to take a look at himself.

 

He was really sweating profusely from his morning run and I wasn't ready to get soaked in sweat by agreeing to hug him.

 

He smirked and walked past me straight to the kitchen. I followed him in where I saw him drinking water and holding my half-eaten apple.

 

I sighed taking a seat and shook my head as he took a bite from the apple and chewed hungrily.

 

'Anything to eat?' He asks as he threw whatever remained of the apple into the bin and also takes a seat on the remaining kitchen stool.

 

'Go take a bath first and I'll sort that out' I ordered with an eye roll as I stood up from the kitchen stool and grabbed an apron.

 

He gets up quietly with a huge smile on his face and stands behind me breathing down my neck.

 

'I have news for you babe' he whispers and plants a kiss on my hair before walking out of the kitchen.

 

My heart could have stopped any second but thankfully, it didn't. The torture is just too much for me. I need to let him know how I feel about him sooner or later or I might have a heart attack. I wonder what he wants to tell me now.

 

 

I suddenly remembered that he didn't have any extra clothes which means he is going to wear my clothes. I ran up to my bedroom and banged forcefully on the door and his voice rang faintly from inside.

 

I threatened to cut his fingers off if he touched my brand new Fila sweatshirt and sweatpants. I could hear him laughing so hard from inside. I hope he listens to me.

 

I waited for him to come out. My anger hit the roof when he walked into the  kitchen wearing the very clothes I had told him not to touch.

 

I picked up a knife from the rack and ran after him screaming like a mad woman while he kept laughing and dribbling me.

 

I suddenly slipped and fell on my butt. There was a spill on the floor and I didn't even notice.

 

Trevor stopped running and came back to where I was still lying on the floor groaning and holding my leg in pain. He made sure he kicked away the knife which was on the floor close to where I was before lifting me off the floor.

 

'Are you okay mami?' he asked in total panic.

I had a sprain on my left ankle.

 

No! I'm dying because I've been hit by a truck!! I yelled angrily in pain as he lifted me off the floor.

 

He dropped me on the kitchen island and went over to the fridge and returned in a second with an ice pack.

 

It's my fault! He muttered while pressing the ice on the affected spot.

 

"Don't blame yourself for my clumsiness T..." I retorted but he cut me off mid-sentence.

 

"If you weren't running after me, you wouldn't have tripped." He fired back through gritted teeth while clenching his jaw.

 

My phone rang and he semi ran to the living room and returned with it in a flash.

 

"How touching!" I thought mentally rolling my eyes.

 

I checked the screen and realized that it was Katie calling. I swiped and picked up immediately.

 

'Whats taking you forever to get here? She yelled on the other end of the phone hurting my ear drum.

 

'I had an accident' I managed to reply when she stopped yelling.

 

'OMG! OMG!! Are you okay? Where you at?' She rapped sounding really scared

 

"I'm okay. I'm chilling at home and it's just a sprain. I'll be there in a few." I managed to respond and I could hear her let out a sigh of relief.

 

"I'll be right there okay?" I said and ended the call before she could even reply.

 

'How do you expect to be limping around and still serving tables?' Trevor asked sounding worried while running his fingers through his uncombed hair. He still looked cute even though he was upset.

 

'Get me some pain meds from the bathroom Trevor. It's just a little sprain not like I got hit by the bus.' I chuckled scrunching my face up.

 

'Stay Put!' He ordered before walking out of the kitchen.

 

I took the meds and after a lot of convincing, Trevor finally agreed to drive me to work where I met a very worried looking Katie who squeezed me in a hug. I sat in the kitchen all day doing next to nothing since Katie wouldn't let me do anything.

 

Trevor called almost every hour or so to know how I was doing. How sweet of him though he still blamed himself. He even came over in the afternoon to check up on me.

 

 I feel loved but I'm still a gangster girl who has been shot at countlessly,taken bullets, jumped off high fences and buildings, got stabbed and cheated death severally and a sprain doesn't even register as something painful.

 

In the evening, Trevor came to pick me up from work. Just sweet. He was still wearing my brand new Fila and I know I'm never gonna get it back. He's taken so many of my clothes already and my Fila is just another one of those poor victims.

 

'So you had something to tell me in the morning remember?' I said after a little silence during the drive back home.

 

'Say what' he semi yelled as he turned down the volume of the car radio on which 'Bad and Boujee' by Migos was playing at Max volume.

 

'You had something you wanted to tell me in the morning' I repeated myself.

 

'Oh! I scored a date with a hot chick down the lane.' He said looking at me with a smirk on his ever so cute bearded face.

 

My eyes almost popped out of my head immediately he said this.

 

 'Uhm... that name... what's that name again...' He muttered trying to remember the girl's name.

 

I started laughing so hard as he shot me a 'This-is-not-funny' look  which only made me laugh louder.

 

He shook his head and whipped out his phone. With one hand on the steering wheel, he kept scrolling before finally speaking up.

 

'Shawty named Halle with a hour Glass shape' He said with a chuckle as he let go of the steering wheel for a second to demonstrate curves with both hands. The car swerved on the road and he quickly regained his grip on the wheel.

 

Usually I would have laughed at what he did and said but I didn't find it funny at all. You can say I'm getting a bit jealous. Matter of fact, I'm a whole lot jealous.

 

I didn't say anything else as I felt my anger rising. I turned up the volume of the radio again and this time, a pop song was playing. I hated pop music but I still didn't change the dial.

 

The rest of the drive was without further conversation as I kept myself busy yelling out the lyrics of Nicki Minaj's song 'Yikes' which was now playing on the radio.

 

He stole some glances at me every now and then but I pretended not to notice. I think he realizes that I'm not really cool with the whole date stuff. I mean, he knows me so well anyway.

 

Finally he pulled over in my driveway and I quickly got out limping to the front door. He walked over to where I was and opened the front door before lifting me inside. I buried my head in the crook of his neck as he took me inside and dropped me on the bed.

 

After taking more pain meds and a few shots of alcohol, I was tucked in by Trevor who flicked off the bedside lamp and snuggled up beside me in the bed stroking my hair gently while typing on his phone. I didn't even realize when I had dozed off in his arms until I woke up alone in the bed the day.

 

Then the incident from last night replayed in my mind. Trevor will be going on a date with a curvy girl who will definitely become his girlfriend and I'll still be his thugger chick on the side that he treats like a best friend and nothing more.

 

She got curves and I don't. I'm guessing that's his type of girls. The ones with the hour Glass shape and I'm nothing close to that, I thought and shook my head.

 

I picked up my phone from the night stand and powered up the screen. Wait a minute!! It's 2:05 in the afternoon!!! I'm guessing it's just the phone clock playing tricks on me. I mean outside my window was really bright but I've never slept so long.

 

I unlocked the screen and found multiple missed calls from Katie. They were from 5 hours ago!!

Gosh! The phone clock is okay, I'm the one who isn't.

 

There could only be one reasonable explanation; Trevor put something in my drink last night.

 

I got out of the bed hurriedly and rushed into the bathroom. The pain in my ankle was almost gone as I wasn't limping like before.

 

I took the quickest bath in history and ran out of the shower Stark naked while I ransacked my wardrobe for something to wear.

 

I found a black T-shirt and a pair of ripped jeans together with a pair of Nikes and quickly put it on before I dashed out of the room. I even forgot to brush my hair. Thank God I have a face cap in my car.

 

Trevor wasn't in the living room or kitchen as I had expected. I locked my door from outside and just as I was about to get into my car, I noticed that I had a flat tire.

 

Today of all days!

 

It was really sunny outside and the sun's rays hit my face mercilessly.

 

I got the face cap out of the car and put it on as I began jogging down the street.

 

Though my ankle was slightly hurting, I kept going since I've been trained to handle worse.

 

In a few minutes, I was at the eatery panting heavily like a dog who just returned from playing fetch.

 

I accessed the kitchen through the back door and took a seat.

 

Katie walked in a moment later looking like an angry wolf.

 

She stood by the door way frowning with her hands folded across her chest.

 

'You are six hours late you know?' she declared angrily.

 

'Yea I know! Trevor kinda drugged me.' I replied lazily with a shrug as I stood up and took an apron.

 

I could see a playful smirk appearing on her face.

 

'Good for you.' she said and dissolved into a little chuckle.

 

I rolled my eyes at her as I kept adjusting the apron.

 

'And what do you think you wanna do?' She queried mischievously raising her brows a bit.

 

"My job of course. If you're worried about my ankle, I am perfectly fine. Whatever he put in my drink works like magic." I replied all in one breath.

 

She simply huffed and shook her head, walking out of the room back into the main hall where the customers were seated.

 

I looked at myself in the small mirror on the kitchen wall and adjusted my face cap before walking back into the main hall.

 

I walked into the main hall and guess who I see seated comfortably?

Episode 3

�️Ivy:

Taking one of the backstreets, we arrived at the location where Skeezy is hiding out.


We park the car a few blocks away and I and Trevor step out of the car and walk down to the building.

We both pull out our guns and aim it at the door preparing for the assault.


I try to open the door but it's locked. I stepped aside and Trevor kicks it open with his left foot.

'Getting strong squirt' I commend chuckling for a second.

"4 points squirrel!" He whisper yells with a smirk on his face.

"Big fat Ego." I smiled at him with a wink.

With fingers firmly on the trigger, we quietly and slowly stepped inside.

Surprising enough, there was nobody in the first room which looked like an abandoned warehouse with a huge TV screen on the wall which was currently showing the news meaning he was here somewhere. Everything in here looked dusty and old. Perfect place for a lowlife like him.

We walked past the first room and approached the second door. Luckily, this one was open. Skeezy and two other guys were on a table smoking and playing solitaire.

Immediately they heard the door squeak open, they all turned round. On sighting us with guns, they reach for their own weapons but it was too late cos we shot both of them in the legs before they could pull their trigger. Skeezy who was still sitted and raised both hands in surrender with his blunt still in his mouth.

Skeezy has always been a wuss. All he had was a peanut sized brain and a big ol mouth that talked before thinking.

We got to where the guys were lying and groaning on the floor and kicked away their weapons.

'Hey! Hey!! Skee, Long time no see! I see you've also grown a goatee.' I mock him as I take a seat opposite him on the table with Trevor standing beside me with his head low.

He took out the blunt from his mouth and shot me a foolish smile while stroking his beard.

'Well well darling, you know I've always been the GOAT.' He replied feeling himself. Such an idiot.

'And all you talk is Mehhh!' I responded imitating a bleating goat with an eye roll sticking my tongue out in a yucky expression of disgust. I could hear Trevor chuckling beside me and I joined in roaring with laughter.

I could see Skeezy's face was red with anger already at our mockery.

'And the little poodle behind the wheel ascended to being trigger finger' He fires back referring to Trevor now.

Within a split second, Trevor snatches the blunt from his hold and squashes it on his face earning a yelp of pain from Skeezy. The spot was now a big red dot.

 I started laughing again as I stood up and gave Trevor a little peck on the cheek whose jaw was clenched tight from all the anger he was holding in.

Skeezy and Trevor have never been cool with each other when he was still in the gang. They fought everytime they had a chance so tonight won't be anything different.

'Ease up Tboy' I whispered into his ear rubbing his shoulder soothingly.

'Back to you goat' I smacked referring to Skeezy who was still wheezing from the pain holding his face.

'Well some things never change huh?' Skeezy manages to say with a scoff!

'Yes Skee, but we're not here to pick a fight or play games and as you know, gangsters don't play nice, all we want is Po's wonga.' I stated rather bluntly while walking around and stalking him like he was some kind of prey.

'You came to the wrong person puppy, cuz Po's cash isn't here' he replied with a stupid laugh.

I looked at Trevor and gave him a nod. Taking the cue, he responds by immediately pushing the table aside violently, the cards and bottles clattering on the concrete floor. Holding Skeezy by the collar, he punches him repeatedly on the face.

In no time, his face became a pool of blood making Trevor's fist a bloody mess.

'Ease up Tiger' I say from behind Trevor holding him by the waist and dragging him backwards.

'Same volatile temper' Skee grunts and spits out blood now sitting on the floor. More blood was trickling down his nose as well.

'Some things never change dummy' Trevor yells angrily as he kicks the table which hits one of the guys who were still groaning in pain on the floor and he lets out a loud yell.

'Quiet you Idiot' I yell back at him as I pick the bottle of whiskey that was lying on the floor which must have fallen off from the table and opened it up.

'Care for a drink?' I ask Trevor smiling slyly as I handed him the bottle.

He took it from me and opened it drinking straight from the bottle. A hoarse grunt escaped his mouth as the drink burned down in his throat.

I walked over to where Skee was and held his dreadlocked hair from behind raising up his head while Trevor comes closer and poured the drink on his wounded face making him to scream at the top of his lungs.

'You bloody psycho' Skee yells in a voice that still sounded like a little whimper.

'Where is the money stupid?' I fired back at him.

'Roman has it' He answers immediately in a small cracked up voice.

'Say What?'

'Roman has it, I swear to you!! He took the brick on credit but never paid me. He played me!!' He yells amidst a painful sob.

Roman is one of Po's long standing rivals and Skee left our gang to join him. I think we'll be paying him a visit. This is gonna be a tough one.

'awww... Poor baby is crying' I reply in a little mock voice feigning pity.

"He played you because you are the dumbest gangster I've ever seen." Trevor whisper yells between gritted teeth. He's totally drunk with rage and this is why he's called the 'werewolf'.

I let go of him and walk out of the room with Trevor dragging him along behind me.

What an encounter that was. Now you see just how dangerous Trevor is and I still love him.

We got back to where the car was parked and found Denny busy sniffing in Coke. He was higher than the tree tops already. Such an idiot!

He manages to pop the trunk of the car where we dump Skee.

I order him to sit in the back while I sit in the front with Trevor who will be driving us instead. His hold tightened on the steering wheel and his jaw clenched repeatedly till we got to our rendezvous point.

We dragged Skee into the room full of our guys who have already returned from their assignments.

Look who I found boys. I called as soon as I walked into the room making all heads turn to our direction where skeezy was being dragged in behind me by Trevor.

They were all so annoyed on sighting Skee and within seconds, a circle had been formed round him who was lying helplessly on the floor. The room dissolved into a great commotion as some called him names while others requested to punch him.

"He's mine boys, so back off!!" I heard Po yell as he walks in and intervenes. He orders two of the guys to take him to the next room and tie him up. The guys quickly return to their former positions chatting loudly about what just happened.

We watched for a while as the guys dragged him inside before following behind Po and briefing him on all that Skee told us about the brick and the cash.

Only God knows what Po is going to do to Skeezy for betraying him and also stealing from him.

EPISODE 12:

�PAT:

I was in my office as usual trying to go through all the unopened files which were piled up on my desk, Signing and approving what was necessary when a knock sounded on the door followed by Rita's voice. She was announcing Olumide's presence outside the door.

He walked into the office wearing a gloomy face and that doesn't surprise me one bit. Took him long Entanglements to muster up the courage to voice out his protest. I know that he wasn't expecting a transfer from the headquarters to a small factory in another state.

"What brings you to my office GM?" I questioned with a poker face.

"I'm here to address the issue of my sudden transfer." He said in a low voice holding the letter in his hand.

"What about it?" I asked again placing my chin in my palm.

"With all sense of respect ma, I find it rather complicated. I mean, I'm the general manager of the headquarters and I'm now being transferred to a small factory in Otta, which happens to be in Ogun, madam I don't think this is not fair after all I've put in to see to the growth of this company." He said pleadingly.

"Well GM, I should be firing you instead. I have my eyes on all top staff here. As the general manager, you report for work by 9, you take alcohol in your office and you have been involved in several scandalous entanglements with a whole lot of female staff." I stated and his eyes widened in Surprise.

"That will be all for now GM if there's nothing else." I said after a long awkward silence before returning to what I was doing.

He finally stood up and walked slowly out of the office. One down, one more to go.


�� Dave:

I was so excited that my wife forgave me after days of punishing me in her own way. Honestly, I felt very relieved.

You might think that I would have learned my lesson. Well yeah, I need to cover my tracks better next time. I can't end my relationship with Kemi because of her threats.

Me and Steve were laughing heartily at a comedy video that he just came across on WhatsApp status.

The door swung open with force and Olumide walked inside with a big frown on his face. He slammed the door with an even greater force and took the spare seat in the room.

"Wetin dey work you?" Steve asked as Olu slumped into the spare chair.

He quietly handed him the paper in his hand and Steve read out the contents. It was a letter of transfer. Pat transferred him?

"But what did you do to earn this?" I asked after going through the letter which Steve passed to me.

"Na so I see am oh." Olumide replied bitterly.

"I'll go talk to her right now." I concluded walking out of the office with the letter in my hand heading to my wife's office.
Ï
"It's my name on the door Dave, if anyone doesn't like my MO, then let them go start their own company." Pat screamed angrily after I protested against the letter.

"Does this have anything to do with me and what happened?" I queried as my fears came alive.

"Yes it does have everything to do with you and the fact that...

"I cheated on you. Do what you want Ma'am." I stated bluntly cutting her mid sentence before walking out of the room. Pat is so strong willed sometimes.

As soon as I got into my office where Steve and Olu were still waiting for me to return with a positive feedback, my phone rang and I checked to see that it was Kemi calling. I busied the call and continued the conversation I was having with the guys.

As we were still talking about Olu's transfer, my phone vibrated indicating that I got a text message. Kemi wanted to see me. She kept disturbing me all through and I had no choice but to excuse myself and go over to her.

Ever since Pat found out about me cheating, she hasn't let me touch her and here's someone who's offering herself for free, I couldn't pass up on such a great opportunity.�

I came home from my escapade with Kemi that night feeling very tired like I ran a marathon.

Getting into the bedroom, I found Pat sitting on the bed working on her laptop with just a towel round her waist leaving her breasts bare. What type of temptation is this?

"Good evening Sweetie." I greeted as I walked into the room.

"Evening babe, welcome back." She responded without breaking eye contact with the screen.

"I want to get changed." I said as if I was asking for her permission.

"Do what you want Dave and let me rest joor." She responded coldly standing up from the bed and walking towards the bathroom.

"Wait, are you still mad at me?" I asked as I stood in her way.

"I'm not mad at you Dave, just leave my way let me go shower." She said slightly pushing me aside but I grabbed her and pressed my lips against hers. She struggled to get free at first but finally gave in wrapping her hands round my neck.

Without breaking the kiss, we both landed on the bed and I proceeded to take down the towel. That was when a hard slap landed on my face.

"What did you do that for?" I asked as the shock registered on my face.

"That's for cheating on me." She said and slapped me again. Good Lord, what's wrong this woman?

She started laughing at the look on my face and I quickly claimed her lips again this time, no longer letting go.

Episode 2


�️Ivy:

Me and Trevor had pasta for dinner and stayed up till midnight watching TV before I fell asleep on the couch beside him. I woke up in my room the next morning. Trevor must have carried me in here.

I sit up in the bed as a wide grin creeps up on my face. This is why I'm crazily in love with him. He is very caring.

I stretched under the covers. I checked the small clock on my  bedside table. It was almost 8 in the morning. My eyes widened as I jumped out of the bed and scurried off into the bathroom. Trevor must have tampered with my alarm. He's gonna get it hot from me today.

After a few minutes, I walk back into the room and hear my phone ringing. I wonder where it was. I listened carefully and realized that the sound was coming from under the bed. How on Earth did it get under the bed?

I dropped the wet towel I was holding on the bed and dropped on my fours on the floor beside the bed and looked under it. I saw the gold plated case of the device glittering under the bed.

 There you are!

I carried the phone up which had now stopped ringing and got back up sitting on the bed. The screen had a crack on it which means that it must have fallen off the bed while I was sleeping.

 I'm going to kill Trevor. How could he keep my phone on the bed knowing that I'm a heavy sleeper who chooses the worst sleeping positions of all time.

I'll get a new one anyway. I sigh and drop the phone back on the bed as I reluctantly get up and strut to my closet to find something suitable to wear.

We'll be going for a job tonight so I need to dress like the baddie that I am.

I picked out a black long sleeved bodysuit, a pair of black cargo trousers, a pair of black Madden girls Parker ankle combat boots, a black leather jacket and a black Nike face cap.

Having fully dressed up, I looked at my self in the mirror one last time and smiled. I'm a real life baddie and for that, I ain't sorry.

I stuff my phone and leather gloves into the jacket pocket before putting my face cap on and heading out of the room humming Drake's song 'Toosie Slide'

� Black leather gloves no sequins....

I keep humming as I got into the sitting room and pick up my car keys and house keys which were both in the same bunch.

I reach for the front door and realized that it was locked. He has my key so he must've locked it from outside I mean, was I expecting him to leave my front door open?

I insert the key into the door locking from outside and jumped straight into my ugly and beat up Chevy pickup truck.

Truth is, I have a lot of money thanks to seven years of hard work and saving up but I didn't want to raise any suspicion so I live on the low, driving an ugly and old grandpa truck when I should be letting the top down on a Lamborghini. Whatever!! I'm off to work.

� Evening �

It's currently 8 in the evening and we decided to close early today so the gang could assemble. That's the norm on all days when we have to meet.

While the guys were still arriving, me and Katie were busy preparing dinner for all of us.

We prepared a tasty mouth watering dish of rice � with poached chicken � and some salad �.

I walked into the Hall with a tray full of plates to realize that Trevor hasn't arrived yet. He and Max had the habit of always being late.

As soon as I walked in, I heard wolf whistles and compliments like:
'Mighty fine Ivy' , 'Lotta Cargo in those Pants shawty, Hot lil mama'... While others just tried to touch me but I shrug their hands off playfully while bending over dramatically teasingly and on and on.

I've known these guys for so long and they are like family to me but I know they won't mind getting tight with me cos they are gangsters.Whatever!! I smile and wink at them.

I arranged the plates on the tables where some of the guys were already seated.

I pick up the remote control and switch to a music channel preferably hip hop (gangsters love hip hop you know). The sound of 'Solitaires' by Future and Travis Scott filled the room and the guys as if on cue began cheering and rapping along.

The guys really loved Future mainly because he was also from Georgia and also because his voice and his songs were just amazing. And the lyrics are always very relatable especially to us in the streets.

I smile and made to go back into the kitchen but the front door opens and Po walks in and the guys start cheering again.

Just when we're done exchanging greetings and gangsigns, Max walks in the door and the noise in the room went on and on.

I greet him with a warm hug and a kiss on his cheek.

'You keep getting finer and finer each day, wanna go on a date with me any of these days?' Max whispers in my ear as the noisy chatter in the room increased.

'Place it on hold dawg!' I reply playfully pulling his nose.

'Oops! That hurts!' He mumbles holding his nose dramatically.

I chuckled and hit him on the chest playfully as I walk back into the kitchen. I've taken enough time out here already.

Me and Katie came out of the kitchen with the food a few minutes later. By now, every member of the gang was present. Trevor had finally arrived as well. His eyes lit up as soon as he saw me but quickly took his eyes off me and continued with the discussion he was having with Po which kinda seemed serious.�

Their noisy chatter increased immediately they sighted the food we were now dishing out for them.

Katie and Po sat down together as usual on a separate table, while I sat with the others to eat. To make matters worse, I sat next to Trevor whose free hand rested on my lap gently caressing it from time to time.

The warmth of his touch made it difficult to concentrate or eat the food like I wanted to as it kept sending shivers down my spine.

I don't think he realizes what he does to me everytime he's close to me.

And to think that I was still mad at him for leaving my phone on the bed last night. Nah!

Our gang is called the Cash-House Gang and we're 19 in number having me and Katie as the only females. Yonas- the next in command is currently working undercover in another gang.

Tonight was about getting money back from Po's debtors.

Max and ten of the guys were supposed to intercept the shipment of a rival gang whose leader owes Po about 500 grand, Denny, Trevor and I will be paying a little visit to an old friend- a former gang member of ours who made away with many kilograms of brick belonging to Po.

Young blood k who was our handyman hands each of us our guns,our maps and car keys. I collect the slightly heavy metal and conceal it properly under my jacket before heading out with Trevor for our mission.


Skeezy is the guy that we're going after. A backstabbing slowpoke who needs to be taught a lesson.

We got outside the eatery and Trevor tosses the keys to Denny who is driving us. We all got into the car and Denny zoomed off immediately driving at top speed.

Episode 11

�PAT

My husband cheated on me with whores he met in a club. As tough as it is for me to address this, I still have to live with it. I feel bitter and betrayed. God, I'm so mad.

I woke up last night when the sound of glass landing on the floor jolted me out of my sweet sleep.

My husband appeared to be searching for something in his closet but when I asked him, he claimed not to be looking for anything.

I went to the bathroom to take a pee and that was where I saw something that got my attention. A pack of condoms in a small clear bag.

Why would my husband be in possession of condoms if he's not cheating on me.

I blinked rapidly as hot tears flowed  freely down my face. My makeup was totally messed up but I cared less.

The door of my office opened and my husband, I mean Dave walked in. His presence immediately rasped my temper.

"What are you looking for David?" I yelled angrily at him but he fell on his knees instantly.

Such a sweet talker, spewing a whole lot of nonsense. I sat there staring at him as he continued his apologetic explanation.

"Please say something." He added when he realized that I was not saying anything in reply.

"Leave my office Dave." I said in a small voice turning my face away from him. God! I hate this.

The sound of his retreating footsteps and the closing of the door indicated that he was out of the room.

I buried my face in my palms and started crying all over again.

But wait a minute, why I'm I even crying?

My husband only cheated on me because I let my guard down, I let my husband associate with womanizers like Olumide's and Steve.

I picked up the desk phone and dialled my secretary's desk. I ordered her to draft a letter of transfer for Olumide. I need to get him far from my husband. As for Steve, he'll have to submit the monthly account statement before I'll have him fired for his long line of misconducts.

In a few minutes, a knock sounded on my door followed by Rita's voice on the other side.

She came in to show me the letter that she'd prepared. When I okayed it, I affixed my signature and ordered her to deliver it to Olumide immediately. I'm transferring him to manage one of our factories in Ogun state. I'm only retaining him because he's good at what he does.

The sound of my phone ringing on the desk snapped me out of my deep thoughts.
I turned and checked the screen to see who's calling.

It was Kemi. I'd informed her that I was back in Nigeria since last night and now, she wants to know if I'm in the office so she could pay a visit.

In a few minutes, Kemi arrived and  we decided to go and chill somewhere outside the office.

I narrated everything to her and she felt great pity for me. She advised me not to file for a divorce yet but rather forgive him this time until the day he tries it again. She's right, I should give him some time to change and if he doesn't still repent, then I have no other choice but to send him packing.


********

�� Dave

I got home from work feeling very dejected. The maids told me that my wife was already back from work and ordered that nobody should disturb her.

 I didn't have the courage to go back to her office after she'd asked me to leave in the afternoon and I didn't find her car in the parking lot so I'm sure she was not in the office by the time I'd left and right now, I don't also have the liver to up and face her in our room.

My step daughter was still in the sitting room watching cartoons with Naomi who is directly responsible for taking care of her.

By the time I got upstairs to get changed in my new room, I couldn't find any of the clothes which I'd heaped on the bed.

I came back and queried Naomi to find out if she knew anything about my missing clothes. She shocked me when she informed me that my wife had ordered for them to pack them up and return them to our bedroom. Does that mean she's forgiven me?

I took slow and uneasy steps up the stairs heading to our bedroom. I knocked weakly on the door and she asked me to come in when she heard my voice.

"Good evening Patty." I greeted not particularly expecting a reply.

"Evening Dave, how'd you get home?" She asked without looking at me but kept herself busy with removing her makeup.

"I.. I Uhm.. I took a taxi." I stuttered nervously as I was clueless about what was happening. Does this mean she's forgiven me.

We stayed there in silence for a while before she decided to speak up seeing that I was  not expecting anything like this.

"I've forgiven you Dave, tomorrow you can take the car to work. I've moved your things back here. You're free to sleep in if you want to but stay on your side of the bed." She said firmly pointing at the bed before walking towards the bathroom.

"Thank you so much Sweetie." I squealed excitedly and made to hug her but she pushed me away.

"Not so fast Dave, if you do this again, I swear to God, you can say goodbye to this marriage and everything else we have together." She spat out in a very angry sounding tone before walking into the bathroom and all I could do was nod like a lizard. My wife's so volatile.

�️Ivy:

Hi, I'm Ivy and I run a fakery together with my best friend Katie who also happens to be my boss' girlfriend. When I say boss, I mean Po, the leader of our gang. Yes I'm a gangster, I've been one ever since I was 16 and now I'm 23 making it 7 years and counting.

And when I say fakery, I mean a fake eatery. During opening hours, we are just regular girls serving food to our customers and after we close, it becomes our gang's secret base.

My other bestie is a guy and his name is Trevor. I've had a crush on him ever since the day I met him and that was 5 years back but he doesn't really know that because I've done a lot of work concealing those feelings. The only person I've ever told about it is Katie.

Tonight, we've closed for the day and I'm currently in the kitchen washing the dishes and trapped in my thoughts as usual.

You might be wondering why a girl like me decided to roll with gangsters. Truth is, when I was 15, I lost both parents in a car accident and got kicked out of the house by my aunt.

I lived on the streets for a whole year picking pockets, starting fights and selling bricks until I met Po who offered me a better opportunity to work for him.

 He gave me a roof over my head and a means of survival and 2 years later, Trevor joins us having lost his mum to hypertension which was caused by his drunk dad. First time we laid eyes on each other, we just kinda clicked maybe, because we both had the same sad story of losing our family.

As I was busy with the washing, Katie walks into the kitchen looking really stressed out. She has just finished cleaning.

You done? I ask absentmindedly without even looking at her direction.

Yeah and ready to head out. Don't wanna keep Po waiting for too long. She concludes with a little sigh as she drops the things she was holding back where they belonged and came over to help me out with wiping the plates and placing them in the rack.

We laughed heartily about the funny stuff that went down that day at the fakery. Katie and I were just like sisters. She was helpful, caring and supportive.

We're finally done with the cleaning and Katie and Po have just left, leaving me to lock the door and dispose of the trash.

I glanced at my wrist watch and realized it was 9:03 already and as if on cue, my phone starts vibrating in my hoodie pocket.

I bring it out and check the caller ID. It's Trevor calling. I picked up and got to where my car was parked and sat on the hood. My car is just an old chevy truck. With a very coy colour for a stupid outdated old car.

Hey squirt! What's up? I half yelled excitedly as I picked up the call.

Want me to come get you or you on your way? He asks ignoring my question. Prolly because I called him squirt- a name that pisses him off.

I'm good. On my way! I replied in a duh tone. He already knows that I can take care of myself anyway.

Drive safe Bye! He adds and quickly disconnects the call.

I'm guessing he's hungry already. I drop the phone back into my hoodie pocket and get into my car and start up the engine zooming off as fast as I can to get home in the least possible time.

I sometimes drive like a maniac maybe because I've gotten used to ditching the cops during operations and whenever I was riding dirty.

In no time, I was already pulling up in my driveway. My lights were on and I don't have to guess. Trevor is inside.

Me and Trevor live a few houses apart from each other but he mostly crashes at my place whenever we're free and tonight was one of those free nights where we are not out there risking our lives for some racks.

I locked the car and got to my front door and opened up getting inside.

Trevor was sitting on the couch watching TV in the small living room with a large bowl of popcorn on his lap. I shut the door as I got in and he turns his eyes towards my now approaching figure.

My legs were getting weaker by the minute an influence that only Trevor has on me. I love him but he doesn't know and I'm a stupid girl to think that me and him will ever be more than friends.

He looked as cute as ever. From his uncombed hair to his barefeet which were resting on the table, he was totally adorable.

He wore a black basketball jersey exposing his muscular black arms which were both covered in tattoos all the way down to his fingers.

I see him everyday but my eyes are never satisfied with staring at him and appreciating just how cute this 26 year old is. It's like he gets hotter and hotter with each passing day. Such torture!!

I knew the details behind all that ink so I don't really have any problems with it though I wouldn't have preferred for him to get so much ink on his body but I respect his choice.

As soon as he saw me, his eyes lit up and his mouth curved into a wide smile which kept getting wider as I approached the couch he was sitting on. He drops the bowl of popcorn which was earlier on his laps on the table and pats the spot where it was previously for me to sit on.

I take out my phone from the hoodie pocket and drop it on the table before sitting on his laps with my hands round his neck.

He always has this look in his eyes whenever I'm with him that I can't explain. I know it's love but just not the type that I wanted badly.

He drew me into a hug bringing our faces inches apart causing us to breathe each other's air. I gave him a sweet steamy kiss before rolling off his laps and sitting back on the couch giggling like a little girl.

(In case you're wondering why me and bestie are kissing, it's just how we greet each other after a long day. It's the type of kiss which doesn't have anything to do with romance. We never do it in public though.)

'How was your day worker bee?' he asks lovingly with his hand round my neck.

After a little giggle, I started blabbing;

Was great, you know the usual, busy and fun at the same time. Plus we made a lot as usual.... And on and on I narrated all in one breath while handling with his beards which were as soft as a baby's hair.

Lemme make us something to eat for dinner. I added and Trevor who was now focusing on the TV screen let go of me as I stretched and got up tiredly heading for my room.

I changed up into a black bralette top and blue shorts with my hair packed in a messy bun. I examined myself in the mirror one last time before walking out of the room heading straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

One of the good things about running the fakery with Katie is that I learned how to cook thanks to constantly watching YouTube while preparing the customer's orders.

Episode 10


�� Dave

I stayed up pretending to be busy with work on my laptop till my wife fell asleep.

As soon as I called her and didn't get a response, I jumped out of my seat and tiptoed quietly to my closet to clear up any evidence that showed I'd cheated on my wife.

I almost got a heart attack when I realized that the pack of condoms which was in the pockets of one my trousers was missing and the hotel room receipts which I'd dumped in one part of the closet was nowhere to be found. Good Lord! I'm finished!!

My wife turned on the bed when she heard a bottle of pills roll out of the closet and land on the hard tiled floor.

Curious about what type of pills are in the bottle, well that's what helps me stay strong for these ladies.

She opened her eyes and sat up on the bed looking at me curiously.

"Are you looking for something?" She asked and I scratched my head unable to say anything in response.

"Nah, just arranging stuff." I replied after a while still scratching my head.

She stood up quietly and walked into the bathroom while I shut the closet door and hurriedly picked up the pills scattered on the floor.

"Are you looking for these?" She said with a very annoyed voice as she returned to the room with the condoms in her hand and my eyes widened almost popping out of their sockets.

Now I remember, I had removed them from the closet earlier on and dumped them somewhere in the bathroom. How on Earth did she find it?

My throat suddenly felt dry and I swallowed hard as beads of sweat started forming on my forehead. I've been caught! Good Lord! I'm finished.

"I uhmm....

"You what? You're cheating on me with prostitutes?" She yelled angrily like she was about to kill somebody.

She kept screaming and calling me all sorts of names as I stood there feeling ashamed of myself and scared that I might lose everything in a single moment.

After she'd had a field day of yelling at me, she made to storm out of the room but I went down on my knees grabbing her leg stopping her in her tracks.

"I'm sorry baby, I'm so sorry, it was just a one time thing, I swear to God, I wasn't in my right senses, I was drunk, it....

"Shut up Dave and get your filthy hands off me." She yelled interrupting my apology and kicked my hands away from her legs before finally leaving the room slamming the door behind her.

I knelt there on the floor running my hands repeatedly out of my uneasiness along my clean shaven head.

A few minutes later, I gatgered some strength and courage and walked out of the room to check on Pat. I found her sitting on the cold floor in the living room resting her back against the wall and crying silently.

I approached her location and tried to touch her but she gave me a hot slap on the face and got up from where she was.

"Don't you dare touch me David. Stay on your own or better still, go to your whores." She shouted almost bringing the roof down as her voice echoed in the room before finally heading for the guest room.

Kasala Don burst! I shook my head in dismay and followed behind her but she got inside faster and slammed the door at my face.

Good Lord! What if after tonight, Pat is going to file a divorce? Where could I possibly start from? I'd be jobless and cashless again.

I found a couple throw pillows and arranged on the floor and used some to support my back to prevent the coldness of the marble walls from entering my body as I sat there by the door as I kept telling her how sorry I was. Yes, honestly I was sorry, sorry for being so foolish and letting my guard down thereby hurting my wife in the process.

The feeling of someone shaking me vigorously woke me up the next morning and I realized that I was still lying on the couch where I was last night.

I shook my head as if to make the sleepiness depart from me and tried to comprehend the entire situation.

I remember moving from the floor where I was formally sitting to the couch where I finally fell asleep.

"Good morning sir." Came the voice that I'd least expected. It was not my wife's voice but rather, it was the voice of Naomi. This foolish girl. I hissed disappointedly as I struggled to get out of my seat.

"Breakfast is ready Sir." She continued and this time around, I eyed her from head to toe and scoffed before walking away heading for the stairs while she stood there awash with embarrassment.

As I got to our bedroom door, I turned the knob and realized that it was locked from inside. Gosh! I hesitated for a while before knocking on the door. Within a minute, the door opened and my wife's face popped out. She looked like she's been crying for weeks.

"Morning Sweetie." I greeted immediately the door opened doing a lot of work to avoid the word 'good'.

"What do you want?" She rapped angrily.

"Please let me explain to you what happened Pat, I swear I didn't do it on purpose." I pleaded grabbing the door handle from outside and trying to force it open so I could get into the room.

On observing what I was trying to do, she quickly shut the door, locking it from from inside leaving me standing there like the fool I am.

In a split second, the door opened and the next thing I saw were my clothes and shoes being thrown repeatedly in my face.

"Get out! And Stay Out David!" She yelled like an angry wolf before slamming the door shut again.

I knew quite well that the maids who were busy cleaning and organizing stuff around the house heard everything that had transpired between the two of us but none of them dared poke around.

I picked up my clothes and shoes and balled them up. I dropped them before the next door and went to search for the key. She's kicked me out of the room, soon she might even kick me out of her home and life. I pray that it never gets to that point.

I returned with the bunch of keys and started trying each of them hoping to find a match and thankfully, I did!

I opened the door and got inside together with my belongings. This room hasn't been used in forever though the maids sweep and clean it every week.

I checked the huge clock on the wall and realized that it was already a half past 8. I need to get to work as soon as possible.

I dumped my closet and shoes on the king size bed and ran straight into the bathroom. In a matter of minutes, I was done and ready for work.

The security man guarding the front door informed that my wife had given them specific instructions not to let me take any of the cars. I shook my head disappointedly as I tossed the key to the range Rover on the floor and walked out through the gate.

 I don't remember taking a taxi to work in years. This is going to be really hard for me.

A Husband's Secret Episode 9


�� Dave

While my wife was still in India, things have really changed between me and Kemi who has been disturbing my life constantly.

Tonight, she just showed up in my office and wants me to take her out. Good Lord! I had no other choice than to do everything she wants or she might hurt someone else.

Naomi and Ada have been fighting over me almost every other day and my auntie is on my neck again asking for money.

That's what I've been going through since my wife has been away.

I came home from work one evening and surprisingly, all the maids were in their best behavior. None of them rushed to jump on me as they used to. I was totally surprised.

"What's going on here?" I asked in surprise as Naomi greeted me respectfully with her head bowed.

"Madam is back." She responded and my shock tripled.

"Tell me it's a joke." I cut her off as she opened her mouth to say something else.

"I'm not joking sir, she's upstairs right now." She added and I had to go confirm if she was actually telling me the truth.

I jogged up the stairs and quickly ran into the bedroom. There I found my wife sleeping peacefully under the blankets.

As soon as I shut the door and walked into the room, she opened her eyes and smiled at me as I approached the bed.

She sprang up and pulled me into a tight hug before proceeding further to claim my lips for a passionate kiss which I didn't want to break away from. I've missed my wife so much. I mean no matter how many women I cheat on her with, none of them can replace her.

After we had a good reunion together in between the sheets, we took time to gist each other and catch up on all she's missed as well as how her medical trip was.


� PAT

I've been in India for a whole week and it felt like forever to me. I was bored to death as I missed work, my daughter and my husband.

I had to surprise them by coming back earlier than I had informed them. The downside of my late arrival tonight was that my daughter was already asleep by the time I returned and my husband wasn't home from work.

The Indian doctors also confirmed that nothing was wrong was wrong with me just like the UK doctors had said. If only I'd listened to my husband and just forgot about stressing myself.

They gave me a couple supplements and stuff to take and hopefully, that'll help me get pregnant easier and faster.

"I'm coming to work tomorrow babe." I told my husband as he walked out of the bathroom with a towel draped round his waist exposing his firm and muscular torso.

"You've got to be kidding me." Dave replied with a little laugh.

"Call me a workaholic Dave, but it's my business you know, I have to be there." I continued sounding serious.

"If you say so, I'll get you all necessary documents to you in the morning." My husband gave up as he raised both hands in surrender and resumed dressing up.

"Come to bed already joor. Let's make some babies." I pouted pulling him by the shirt as he fell on the bed with a huge grin on his face.

***

�� Dave

My wife's surprise return hasn't really gone down well with me.

I have not had the time to get the room in order. I have plenty hotel room receipts and condoms in the closet and my trousers pockets. I'm really hoping and praying that Pat has not gone through my stuff. And I have not had enough time to cover my tracks of stolen funds which has amounted to millions of Naira in the past week since Pat travelled.

If Pat finds out about this, then I'm finished for sure.

Episode 8

�� Dave

 

"Why are you so surprised huh?" Kemi asked with a smirk on her face.

 

"You're evil Kemi." I growled angrily.

 

"Oh and you're the saint right? I've killed others like her. She's not the first and certainly won't be my last. 'Shine your eyes.' that's what I was told the first day I set foot in Lagos."

 

"And how is taking someone's life shining your eyes huh? What I'm I even saying, I should be reporting you to the police immediately."

 

"Really? Ever heard of the saying; 'throw me under the bus and I'll drag you along with me' Dave?" She said batting her lashes dramatically. I gulped nervously as my mouth went dry out of fear and uneasiness. Never knew this side of hers existed.

 

"We're done Kemi. This relationship is over." I said in a tone of finality as I turned round to walk out of the room.

 

"Wait, wait,wait, wait there Dave! You are not going anywhere or I swear to God, someone else will go down and we don't want to guess who. This affair of ours is only getting started, so gear up baby boy." She yelled angrily and walked out on me leaving me speechless and looking like a fool.

 

 

�PAT

 

My husband has been really down ever since his secretary went missing and I kinda understand since he told me that both of them go way back. I hope that they find her alive and well.

 

Today's a Saturday and I'm currently getting dressed up to go down for dinner.

 

The door opened and Dave walked in with a cup of tea in his hand and a small smile on his face. That's new!

 

"Hey sweetie." He greeted as he walked closer to where I was standing.

 

"Mmm, babe is that for me?" I responded as I turned round to give him a hug.

 

"Maybe, but it comes with a price." He whispered in my ear before giving me a peck on the cheek.

 

"C'mon babe, just a sip." I pouted as he hid the cup behind his back.

 

I gave him a kiss before he finally agreed to give me the cup of medicinal green tea which I have been taking for a while now according to the doctor's prescription.

 

"I think we should see the doctor again this year. I'm tired of taking this bitter tea." I said scrunching up my face as I took a sip from the cup.

 

"But we went to London last year and the doctor said we're fine, don't get worked up, we'll have a baby when God says so." Dave said consolingly.

 

"But your family don't think that way, your auntie, she uhmm, never mind." I was talking too much so I quickly had to shut my mouth.

 

"No, tell me, what did auntie say to you?" He asked sounding like he was about to punch someone in the face.

 

"She told me that we are taking too long, too long to actually start a family." I spoke almost in a whisper as I fought back the tears that were building up in my eyes. I could see the utter displeasure on my husband's face as he pulled me into a hug and patted my back trying to calm me down as I went uncontrollably on his shoulder.

 

"Your family members may be thinking that I'm tying you down with my money Dave and I don't want it to seem like that. I'll be going to India, my doctor has given me some recommendations of good health facilities." I said when I finally stopped crying.

 

"I'm sorry about everything you have to go through and what my auntie said, it was so wrong and out of place and I'm terribly sorry." He apologized stroking my cheek and all I could do was nod.

 

After sitting in silence for a few minutes with my husband who was repeatedly clenching his jaw in anger, we decided to go down for dinner. As usual, Kemi and Gabriel will be coming over tonight.

 

 

�� Dave

 

I sat down at the table feeling very upset.

 

First of all, my auntie had the effrontery to speak to my wife anyhow she likes. The wife who is funding her children's education abroad, bought her a car and a house and even started a business for her yet she's still ungrateful.

 

Secondly I have to eat with these two pigs. ( � Kemi and � Gabriel)

 

My wife has no clue of what was going on in my head as I kept shooting them death glares at the dining table while she kept blabbing and laughing about one thing or the other with them while I stayed mute all through.

 

After dinner, my wife went upstairs to get June in bed leaving us alone at last.

 

I dragged Gabriel outside to confront him about his misbehavior with Kemi.

 

Gabriel had the guts to talk back at me and we ended up fighting and punching each other in the face.

 

Pat's bodyguards managed to separate the fight while my wife and Kemi stood by screaming for us to stop fighting.

 

When we finally stopped fighting, our faces were already bleeding and I warned him and Kemi never to step foot in my house. Idiots!!

 

No matter how hard Pat probed me, I refused to tell her why me and Gabe fought. I knew she was already suspicious and honestly, I don't care.

 

A few days after handing over the affairs of the company to me, Pat left for India and I was fully in charge.

 

I had enough time and space to siphon and divert as much money as I wanted. I have to complete my housing project before she returns from India.

A Husband's Secret

 

�PAT:

 

"Where's Regina? I have not seen her since yesterday." I queried Naomi as we finished breakfast that morning. The driver had already taken June to school earlier on.

 

"She resigned since Monday ma." Naomi replied and my eyes widened in Surprise. That's four days ago.

 

"What? But why? Who did she tender her resignation to?" I queried further as she kept quiet looking at my husband.

 

I turned round to also look at Dave who was carrying a straight face.

 

"Well, she uhmm, she just told me that she wants to quit. No clue why." Dave stated stuttering a little.

 

"So why didn't you tell me?" I asked as I got up from my seat.

 

"I totally forgot." He replied and I looked at him furrowing my brows as I shook my head.

 

This is becoming rather unlikely. I'll have to find out what really happened using other means then.

 

 

***

 

Friday:

 

 

I was in my office trying to get some work done and also sign all pending papers and documents on my table when a knock sounded on my door.

 

"Yes c'mon in." I said and kept my gaze on the direction of the door waiting to see who's going to come in. Actually it's Rita my secretary.

 

"Good afternoon ma, some police men are here to see you." She announced as she came in.

 

"Police men?" I asked in bewilderment.

 

"Yes ma. There's three of them." She responded with a little nod.

 

"Let them in."

 

She nodded and turned round walking out of the office to get the police.

 

What could the police be looking for in my company? Hope nothing happened in any of our factories.

 

"Good afternoon Mrs Arinze. We're from the Nigerian Police Force Zone 2. I'm detective Kayode and these are my partners Detective Cyril and detective Bello. We're here with regards to our ongoing investigation into  the case of a missing person who's an employee in this establishment." One of the men said showing me their ID cards before we shook hands.

 

"Nice to meet you but I'll have to call my lawyer first before anything else can be said or done." I protested dialling my lawyer's number. I also asked Rita to go and bring my husband to my office.

 

They waited patiently for my lawyer who arrived a few minutes later before they finally started their questioning.

 

 

�� Dave

 

Mabel hasn't showed up to work all week. Does it mean she's so mad at me that she decided to quit the job?

 

Her number has also been switched off since last weekend and that's very weird.

 

As I dropped my phone back on the table, a knock was heard on my door and I got up to go see who it was.

 

Rita, my wife's secretary was outside the door. I rolled my eyes inwardly as she gave me a little ugly smile.

 

"What do you want?" I asked sounding annoyed.

 

"Madam asked me to come and bring you over to her office." She announced and quickly turned round walking down the hallway dramatically with her heels making a lot of noise. Good Lord! I hate this girl, so full of herself.

 

I closed the door and took the same direction heading to Pat's office. By the time I got there, she was already seated at her cubicle and gave me another smile. I gave her a Stern look and opened the door heading into the office where I found my wife and three police men seated in the office.

 

 All eyes in the room turned towards the door as I opened and closed it walking in nervously.

 

Yeah, beads of sweat were beginning to form on my forehead as I took slow and nervous steps into the room.

 

After greetings and introductions, I felt a little bit perplexed when they mentioned that they were looking for a missing person.

 

When Pat's lawyer arrived, the police now stated their full intention.

 

Mabel's boyfriend had reported her missing since Monday afternoon. The police believe that she was kidnapped since her house appeared to have been ransacked and her phone was in the house while her front door was wide ajar.

 

They asked me a couple questions when I told them that she's my secretary. After we've answered every single question of theirs, they finally left the office and promised to keep us updated.

 

Honestly, I was really troubled about the situation of things presently. Could it be that Kemi has a hand in Mabel's sudden disappearance?

 

I left my wife's office and returned to mine where I found a couple missed calls from Kemi on my phone. Look who is calling! She has finally gotten over the issue.

 

I returned her call and she picked up almost immediately.

 

"Sorry I wasn't with my phone when you called, what's up?" I said as soon as my phone vibrated indicating that she has picked up the call.

 

"It's all good D, Check your WhatsApp inbox, I've left a present there for you." She responded with giggle and hung up on me.

 

Good Lord, I rushed to my WhatsApp and scrolled down to find her message. It was a video message.

 

I waited for it to load before pressing 'play'. My eyes almost popped out of their sockets when I saw what was in the video. My brother and Kemi were together in bed. I went mad with rage as I threw my phone on the wall smashing it in pieces. I was totally going crazy.

 

I stormed out of the office heading down to where our car was parked and ordered the driver to get down as I snatched the key from his hands. I'm going to skin them alive today.

 

When I got to Kemi's place where my brother is also staying, the gateman informed that Gabriel was not at home and Kemi was at work so I quickly made a u-turn heading over to Kemi's store.

 

I got there and found her doing a customer's hair. Not minding the crowded room, I grabbed her by the wrist and forcefully dragged her into her small office ignoring all the awkward stares from all eyes in the room.

 

"How dare you cheat on me with my own brother and have the guts to send me the video huh?" I barked grabbing her neck.

 

"Let go of me." She struggled to say as she tried to free her neck from my hold.

 

Seeing that she was choking up, I released her neck and she took in deep breaths amidst loud coughing.

 

"I did it to make you feel what I felt when that useless little girl dared tell me to my face that you were also getting down with her. Do you understand how much that hurt? Huh?" She screamed holding her neck.

 

"And you chose to do it with my brother? My brother of all people?" I fired back angrily.

 

"And you chose your wife's best friend. Listen Dave, you and me, we're not really different, we're both cheats and liars. Admit it!" She yelled boldly and slumped into a chair in the room.

 

"Mabel's disappearance, do you have any hand in that?"

 

"Yeah, I killed her." She spoke slowly and my eyes widened in shock.

� PAT:

Me and Dave have gradually gotten back in good terms with each other. I've been doing my best to make him happy and change his mood. Though he's not told me why he acted strange in the past few days, I'm not really bothered about it.

Today, it's a Saturday and I'm taking June out to get her some ice cream since she's been crying for it all morning plus, I also felt like getting out of the house and seeing some sights since I've been so busy with work that I barely have time for myself and my little girl. My Stubborn little girl!�

At the gate post, a heated argument was going on between my gateman and a woman. Not just any woman but Dave's auntie.

I got down from the car and greeted her. From what I could deduct from the episode, Ahmed the gateman and the security guards do not recognize Auntie and have refused her access into the premises.

After giving them a Stern warning, they finally opened the gate for her and I left with my daughter heading to the eatery where we normally do our sit outs.


�� DAVE

A whole lot has happened this past few days.
Honestly, I've had a lot on my plate.

Firstly, it was a little misunderstanding between Kemi and Mabel the other day in my office.

Kemi came to deliver a wig to my wife in her office but Pat was not in by the time that she arrived so she decided to leave the wig with me.

Being the typical bad boy, I decided to engage her in a little bit of this and that right there in the office.

That was when Mabel barged in and caught us together red-handed. At the end of the day, both women ended up exchanging words and calling each other really nasty names.

Since then, Kemi has refused to pick my calls or reply my texts. Mabel on the other hand is also acting up and would not even let me touch her.

Secondly, my wife's cousin who never minds her business decided to pay us a surprise visit. I don't really like her because she is always suspicious and Pat trusts her like kilode.

Well, I'm not innocent though. I almost kissed her two years ago but guess what, she gave me two dirty slaps which gave a bruise across the face. Thanks to her rings. Since then, we've not been seeing eye to eye and it surprised me that she has not told my wife about it till now. Or is it possible that she likes me? Or wants to blackmail me in the future?

I was very relieved this afternoon when my wife and step daughter decided to go out. At least I'll have time to talk to Kemi if she picks up the phone. Well if she doesn't, I'm going to a good club later in the evening so I can hook up with a cute stripper or anything that comes my way. I'm on the verge of going crazy here.

As I was thinking about these things, my mind flashed back to Ada, the cook who happens to be among my toys. I haven't gotten with her in what seems like forever.

I jumped up from the bed as a big fat grin creeps up on my face.

I went straight to the home phone and decided to call the kitchen where she is probably preparing lunch.

As I was about pressing the number, a knock sounded on the door.

"Who is there?" I yelled angrily at whoever was at the door.

It was Naomi, this little demoness! I hope she's not looking for some rounds cuz, I'll give her a slap on the face for sure.

Well, I was wrong, she came to inform me that my auntie is here. Gosh! Not now na!! I'm sure she is here to look for money as usual. That's the only thing that my family members ever want from me. Money, money, money!!!

I only walked out of the room when I heard her footsteps descending the stairs. As you already know, I'm not too good at avoiding women and their temptations.

I got down to the living room and found my auntie busy watching TV with a glass of juice in her hand. She's really looking fresh thanks to the Kanayo family fortune.

"Auntie good afternoon." I greeted with a bow.

"David is this you? No call, no text, you don't even care to visit me. Is it fair?" She complained without even answering my greetings.

I groaned angrily as I sat down on the couch ignoring her questions.

"Auntie, you know I'm a very busy person, what brings you here?" I asked pretending like I was really tired.

"Well, I came to see you, I met your wife and step daughter on their way out of the house. Anyway, Ehm, Bisi wants to pursue a master's degree in Canada, I need you to give me some money for her fees." She said almost in a whisper.

"Auntie, I don't have any money, you know my wife is the one that provides everything."

"Doesn't she pay you salary?"

"Auntie you remember that I'm working on a project right? All my salary is going into it."

Well, don't get confused, I'm secretly building a house somewhere in town without my wife's knowledge. That's part of my fall back plan.

"I know but at least, find something for me to go and give her. You don't expect me to leave empty handed do you?"

"I'll see what I can do about it. Let my wife return."

"I trust you." She said smiling.

"Ehn, ehn, where are we on the housing project?" She continued shifting closer to where I was sitting.

"Well, I'm working on the roof. It's really..."

"Sir, ma, lunch is ready." Regina walked in and announced interrupted me. I hope she didn't hear anything we were talking about. One of these days, I guess I'll have to fire her.

I'm sure that my auntie was also feeling the same way as she eyed Regina from head to toe.

"Auntie, let's eat first, we'll continue with the discussion later." I said in between loud yawning as I got out of my seat.

"Beni, I'm so famished." She said standing up and walking towards the dining with me following behind.


�KEMI

Dave thinks he's smart. Cheating on me with a mere secretary for what now?

I am going to take my revenge on him and his little secretary by doing the unexpected.

First things first, he cheated on me with that stupid girl who had the audacity to call me names right in his presence. I'm going to show her my true colors.

I smirked evilly as I got hold of my phone and dialled Jasper's number. (Jasper is a freelance muscle who does some dirty work for me everytime.)

He picked up at the third ring and I gave him instructions on how to handle Mabel before I forwarded her details that I was able to gather to him and waited for a positive feedback.

It's a Sunday afternoon and I hope that the stupid girl is at home. I'm going to show her pepper.

As I was pacing round the sitting room in anticipation of Jasper's call, the front door opened and Gabriel walked in with one of his numerous girlfriends, yeah I mean the real girlfriends.

I eyed them angrily as I kept rolling my eyes at him. He needs to stop bringing these girls here since Dave actually rented this house for me.

"Gabriel, me and you need to talk." I said angrily as they started ascending the stairs amidst loud laughter apparently heading to the bedroom.

"I'll be with you in a few minutes baby, why don't you go ahead since you already know the way." He said to the girl giving her a short kiss.

Urghh!! Gross!!! The girl eyed me repeatedly from head to toe and I stuck my tongue out at her as she kept walking up the stairs.

"What's up K?" Gabriel asked as he got to where I was standing and tucked his hands in his pockets.

"I want to show you something, just follow me." I announced heading up the stairs to my room since Miss thing is presently occupying his bedroom.

"What is it that can't be said in the living room?" Gabriel asked frustrated that I was wasting his time.

"Why won't you just chill. She can make you feel good but I'll make you feel better." I said slowly as I took off my shirt.

I felt like laughing at the look on his face which clearly depicted that he was not expecting me to do anything like this. Yup, he was shocked beyond measure.

"This is never happening between me and you Kemi, you belong to Dave who happens to be my brother. Get that into your head." He barked angrily turning round to walk out of the room but I quickly held him tightly from behind.

"Leave me alone Kemi before this gets out of hand. Do you realize what you are trying to do?" He asked as he struggled to escape from my firm grip.

"I know it's not as bad as sleeping with my best friend's husband. At least the world thinks we're together already so there's nothing wrong if we actualy do this." I said as I finally let go of him and stood before him taking off my remaining items of clothing.

I saw his eyes darken and I gave him a side smile knowing fully well that I've got him right where I wanted. Gabriel and his brother are the same; womanisers and cheats. I knew that he was just fronting.

 I jumped on him and kissed him with so much passion which he responded to immediately. Yeah, this is really happening.


****

I stood before my full body mirror with a smile on my face as I recounted the episode that just went down with me and Gabriel a few minutes back.

By now, Gabriel had already left the room to be with his girlfriend who had already started looking for him around me house.

All my plans have fallen in place. I smiled taking out the hidden video recorder and examining the video of me and Gabe doing the nasty and I chuckled softly as I pulled out the SD card from the adapter and inserted into my phone.

My smile faded as my phone started ringing. Speak of the devil!

"How did it go Jasper?" I asked impatiently.

"It is done ma. I have her in my custody." Jasper spoke and I felt like jumping up for joy.


"Alright, send me the address so I can come and say hi." I added and ended the call.

Well Mabel, I'm going to show you who you were dealing with. I stood up and hustled to change up. I need to get on the road.

��DAVE:

Thursday Afternoon:

"So, this is the new secretary." Pat said as she stopped before the secretary's cubicle.

"Good afternoon ma." Mabel said getting up from her seat.

"Afternoon, Dave won't you introduce us." My wife said turning to face me.

"Sorry sweetie, meet Mabel, my new secretary and Mabel meet our CEO who also happens to be my wife." I said placing my hands on my wife's waist.

"It's nice meeting you ma." Mabel said with a wide smile.

"It's a mutual feeling darling. I like you but I might still fire you if he need be." Pat joked with a little laugh.

"Will you stop scaring my secretary Patty." I said dragging her into the office winking at Mabel who was looking a little bit lost.

As soon as Pat left, I called Mabel into my office. I have not had the talk with her yet.

"Do you remember that we never broke up?" I said as soon as she took a seat.

"Seriously Dave, you still think about that." She answered with a scoff.

"Well, yeah, and here we are again, fate brought us together." I continued sounding serious.

"Yeah, but you are now married. Nothing can happen between us anymore Dave." She snapped rolling her eyes.

"Why do you think I gave you this job? I had hundreds of applications already on my table, but I decided to help you out because I still care about you."

"Are you telling me that you want me to have an affair with you right under your wife's nose?" She asked in a whisper.

"It's not impossible you know." I responded with a scoff.

"And you sound like a pro." Mabel spoke with a little frown folding her arms.

"Maybe." I said with a smirk.

"I have a boyfriend Dave." She said pleadingly.

"I'll be traveling to Abuja for a business engagement on Monday and I'll convince my wife to let me take you along. By then, you must have made your decision." I added firmly as I swiveled in my chair ignoring her excuse.

Fast Forward to Sunday Evening:

Our flight has just landed in The FCT. Our escorts were already at the airport waiting for our arrival.

We got into the waiting cars and zoomed off to the hotel which had already been booked for us.

Me and Mabel had a good night in my hotel room and for real, she's hotter than I remember. To be honest, she's ten times better than Kemi. My list of steady babes is really getting long.�

"This is the best makeup you have done on my face all year." I commented as I examined my face in the mirror admiring the work done on it by Kemi. She owns a classy beauty spot where the who is who in VI come to do their makeup and hair.

"This is what I was made for." She said with a little chuckle.

"So what's the occasion?" She asked curiously.

"Well, I just want to drag Dave to a cool Friday night dinner when I get home. It's been a while since we last sat down to eat out." I answered dreamily.

"Awwwwwn, hopeless romantic." She teased and we both burst out laughing.

My phone suddenly started ringing and I whipped it out to see who was calling. Great, it was my cousin's Nigerian number.

"Hello Little cousin. Playing pranks as usual?" I greeted cheerfully as I picked up the call.

"Nope, it's no prank. I'm at the airport coming home." She announced sounding serious and my eyes widened.

"Tell me it's a lie!"

"Nope, I just ordered for an Uber. See you in a minute." She screamed childishly into the phone and hung up before I could say anything else.

"Lisa is in Nigeria." I told Kemi as I put the phone down.

"Seriously, and she didn't tell you about the trip?"

"Not a single word was said. Guess that's her own idea of a surprise." I responded with a sigh as I picked up my bag getting ready to leave.

"How much do I owe you girlfriend?" I asked as I got up taking one last look at my face.

"You know the usual na." She answered with a grin.

"Sure thing, I'll credit you when I get in the car. My regards to my brother in law." I concluded as I gave her a hug and my security opened the glass door before following behind me.

Lisa arrived a few minutes after I'd gotten home and we did some catching up before finally going to bed. We've really missed each other a whole lot. Dave was acting really weird all through.

"What's up with you today babe, you don't seem really happy." I asked as I got in bed with Dave who was already lying comfortably typing on his phone.

"I'm fine okay?" He snapped coldly without looking at me. Something is definitely up.

"Just tell me already Dave, is it because of Lisa's surprise visit?" I asked holding his hand.

"It's nothing." He replied getting out of bed and going into the bathroom without sparing me a glance.

Dave walked out on me? That's never happened before. I wonder what happened when I was out of the house.

It's been a rough couple of days ever since Lisa came to the house. My husband and I are barely on speaking terms. I'm guessing that she noticed the tension between us and decided to return to London after staying for just a few days.

"Trust and Love your husband but don't do it blindly Tricia." Those were the words Lisa told me when I dropped her off at the airport that day.

Honestly, I've never had any reason to doubt my husband ever since I met him but Lisa is a psychologist and she's never wrong. I'm gonna have to open my eyes and take a second look at him.
