Thanks alot guys

contd

On the plane, I couldn't help but think how Dibz has been faring all this while. Now I became scared that he wouldn't want to see me again because to be honest, my decision was a bit selfish. In as much as I'd like for him to be able to trust me, it was kinda inconsiderate on my part to ask for a break just immediately after we got back together. I had to consider the fact that he still chose to forgive and get back together with me even after everything that happened and maybe with time he'll come to trust me better.

'Ah, I'm so stupid, I'm stupid, I'm stupid', I kept on muttering to myself as I bit my thumb in utmost anxiety. Then another negative possibility crossed my mind again. What if, just what if my time away had drawn Hailey closer to him?...What if they are together even right now?

'No no, Hailey has a boyfriend', I thought to myself as a way to console myself.

'Like that has stopped her before', another voice in my head sneered. Now I was losing it. I couldn't wait for the d**n plane to land anymore.
Fortunately, we arrived Lagos in no time and I almost forgot my luggage in the mad haste I was in. I booked a cab immediately and gave him the address to my apartment while I dialed Dibz. It was connecting , even after the third and fourth time. I then tried his home line and this time it rang but no answer. Weird, maybe the workers are off today. I was mad with frustration. When I reached my apartment, I just kept my bags, grabbed my car keys with the intention of going to his office. While driving, I figured maybe I'd call Josh he'd most likely know where I can find Dibz. I put a call across to him but just like everything had been going against me today, he didn't pick either. I tried T, she'd know how to reach Josh who'd then tell me to reach Dibz. Worse, her line was switched off.

"Aarrgghh"!!!!, I screamed and hit the steering wheel. "How, just how, can your phone be off now T, how?, I shouted. Changing my mind, I drove straight to her apartment to see what was going on. I let myself in with a spare key card she'd given me earlier and immediately, I wish I didn't. There in her living room, was herself and Josh getting it on naked. I turned around immediately covering my eyes.

"Eeewww. Really...on the couch too? T you know I always lie on that couch whenever I'm around", I said still backing them. My sudden entrance had them shocked and frantically searching for their clothes.

"Hey Fifi", T said, a little embarrassed. "You're back".

"Clearly. Now I know why you guys weren't picking my calls. I'm turning around now, hope you're decent?", I said turning to face them.

"Hey Fola", Josh greeted shyly as I turned. He was still shirtless but at least he had some pants on this time while T was on a big shirt which I'm guessing is Josh's and her hair was still disheveled. I would have laughed if there wasn't a more pressing issue at hand. I walked up to Josh ignoring his greetings.

"Where's my man?", I demanded bluntly.

"Your man?", he asked confused. "Thought you guys were on a break which means technically, he's not yours anymore...atleast for the moment", he replied but the frown in my face deepened and a nudge from T to his elbow let him know I wasn't in for any of his silly jokes.

"Oh I'm sorry", he gulped. "He...he is in the Bahamas now", he said. Bahamas??...isn't that where people go for vacation and possibly with a companion too? I was scared now.

"Bahamas??...why...wait, who did he go with?", I asked.

"Nobody I guess, I'm not really sure", he replied.

"He didn't tell me", I whispered as I sat down.

"Yeah, it's strictly business though but I don't know the full gist. He just called me one day and said he was in the Bahamas and he wanted me to purchase some of their company's shares. He said he'd fill me in later when he returns", Josh said.

"Shares?.... since when did the company become public?", I asked confused but only got a shrug from Josh as an answer. To be honest, I felt kinda relieved I wasn't the only one that was in the dark.

"Did he say when he'd be back?", I asked hopefully but Josh just shook his head. So much for having a break.
T later followed me home to keep me company.
We drank and caught up on stuff that happened while I was away before we were interrupted by the buzzer.

"Are you expecting anyone?", T asked.

"No", I replied as I picked the phone.

"Hello madam, there's a guy here to see you. Said his name is Moe", the security said immediately i picked the phone.

"Oh, pls let him in", I answered. "It's Moe", I said replying Tiara's curious gaze.

"Did you tell him I was back?", I asked.

"No", she replied. The elevator dinged and Moe came in looking quite handsome.

"Hey you", I stood to welcome him. "How did you know I was back?" , I asked curiously.

"Why thank you Fola, I'm doing great thanks for asking", he teased. "Hey Tiara", he waved to T.

"I'm sorry but in my defense, I said 'Hey you're ", I said smiling to which he laughed.

"Your mom told me, apparently she wanted is to hangout and so I here to take you out. There's this concert happening tonight and I've got front row tickets plus there is going to be a ballet performance too and I know how much you love dancing", he said while still smiling charmingly.

"Oh, that woman", I said shaking my head. "I'd love to join you but T's here and.......

"Oh Tiara can join us too", he cut me off sharply.

"Yay"!! T exclaimed gleefully. "Let's turn it up, go and get dressed Fifi. That was how the quiet night I was intending to have with my best friend was ruined and I found myself prepping to go for a concert I didn't plan for but I was happy tho. Atleast something to get my mind off Dibz for a while. I hope he's okay tho and does think of me the way I do him..... TBC

Would still drop something this night or early tomorrow morning...still typing

Fola's POV

Days had passed and turned to weeks since that day he hid me when Hailey came to see him.
The worst part was that we had just got back together the day before and even had a steamy make out session just minutes before everything came crashing down. I had pleaded with him to let me in on what was going on but he just opened his mouth and closed it back. It hurt then, still does now. I know he loves me very much and I love him even more but love alone isn't just enough. He has to trust me too and tell me what's really going on, why he hid me when Hailey came around and also why he suddenly confessed to her after he'd already gone to jail, why now? Why?.....What does she seem to have over him...is it that bad that he can't even confide in me? I love him and I want to help him with everything I've got but he has to let me in first.
I had spent some time and T's before I left for Abuja to spend sometime with my parents.
I felt that maybe being away from Lagos for a while would help ease the pain a little.
Home was home, everything was pretty much the same. My dad was surprisingly more around this time though, no meetings or trips which was rare but in a pleasant way. Growing up wasn't that fun in this house and being an only child didn't help either. Then, dad was still a governor and was almost never around. I used to be bullied then by classmates, they said my dad hated me and that was why he never showed up for any of my school functions. I remember running to the toilet and crying my eyes out everytime each time they said that. To my dad's credit though, he always made up for it anytime he was chanced to be at home. He'd get me gifts and we'd play and play throughout the whole day if I'm lucky, other times we'd just play for about 3 hrs before his phone would ring signalling one appointment or some emergency at the office or a general meeting of governors. Nonetheless, I know he loves me and that alone kept me through.
My mum on other hand is quite a handful. Being the state's first lady it was normal to be in the public eye almost always, but my Mum took it overboard and she dragged me on onboard too.
She always made sure to be in the spotlight at all times. If there was a function everyday of the week, mum would make sure to buy new outfits for each day with shoes to match too. She'd drag me to all these events, even her weekly bookclub that's filled with mostly people her age. Let's just say she's a bit too much but still amazing.

The downside of my stay at home was when mum started bugging me about my dating life.
I contemplated on telling her about Dibz but knowing my royal dramatic queen of a mother, she'd start making a fuss about how her enemies joined forces to make her only child become spellbound to a rapist. No kidding.
So I just told her that I'm not in any relationship now which turned out to be an even worse decision because before I knew what was happening, I was all dolled up in some fancy restaurant sitting in front of a stranger. Yes, she somehow arranged blind dates for me which didn't just work out. One of them even ended before the food was served.
One evening, I was sitting on our rooftop bar, enjoying the cool breeze and just watching people walk by and I saw him. He was sitting on the bonnet of a car, looking at something on his phone and airpods stuck in his ears. I couldn't believe it at first, i even wiped my eyes clean to be certain and there he was, still there. I didn't even know when I screamed, "Dibzzz"!!!
He didn't answer and then I screamed again but still he didn't react. I remembered he had airpods on and so couldn't hear me properly. I raced down to the gate in the speed of light, shouting for the gateman to get the gate. Immediately, the gate was opened, I rushed out ignoring shouts from the gateman begging me to wait. I'm sure he must have been terrified at my sudden behavior. Once, I reached him, I hugged him from behind and pressed his back to me but something wasn't right. The hug didn't feel right itself and so I slowly, disentangled myself from him to see his face and immediately i did I wished the ground opened and swallowed me.
It wasn't him.

"Uhmm....I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else", I apologized looking at the ground.The guy's shocked expression softened and he smiled.

"Ouch", he said grimacing. "I actually thought I was that attractive enough to make a pretty girl like you hug me like that. Now I envy whoever was that hug was meant for", he said smiling now.

"I'm sorry", I said again before I ran back to the house before I started crying right in front of him. It was painful, really painful. I miss him, I miss him alot. I decided there and then that I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't keep on torturing myself by being away from someone I love and so I started packing my bags. I was getting on the next flight to Lagos or better still I'd book a private plane. I couldn't wait any longer...I decided to go and see him and make him tell me everything. I'd not leave to he told me what was really going on, I'd follow him everywhere even to his meetings till he caved in.
I smiled as i zipped my bags. "I'm coming to get you baby", I said smiling as I rolled my box out of my room........TBC

Boss

Contd...

I got home to my parents and bade them goodbye amidst reluctance from them, especially my mum but nevertheless, they allowed me. I promised to call and visit more often. When I got down, Fred our pilot was already there waiting for me with my dad's chauffeur. We drove to the hangar and I apologized to Fred for the inconveniences on such short notice, I promised to give him a huge bonus once we landed in Nigeria sha to which he smiled widely . I smiled throughout the ride to the hangar as I thought of how I'd sweep Fola off her feet when I got to see her. I even googled very catchy apology lines I'd use on her when I saw her. 'Ah, she go hear am', I thought as I chuckled lightly shaking my head.
As I entered the jet, I felt abit tired so I decided to rest a little maybe even take a short nap, I hadn't rested well in the last couple of days.
When I woke up, we were already in Nigeria. Yeah, the short nap turned out to be just a little over 17 hours. Damn I must have been really really tired then but it was worth it sha cus I dreamt about my wedding to the Fola. You can say it cus I already know it's true... I'M A GONER!!
I couldn't remember if I drove myself to the airport or came with the chauffeur when I was going to the Bahamas so I just signalled one of the airport cabbies to drop me off. I'd call one of the managers later to check if I left my car there or not. I didn't have time to wait till they searched or wait for the chauffeur to come pick me up. I was still tired and hungry too.
My first thought was to rush to Fola's apartment to check on her but I didn't want her to see me looking this shabby. My beards were all grown, eye bags and my hair, I don't even want to talk about that one. I need to make an impression at first sight. I believe it will much better if she sees me looking all fresh and hot.
I quickly booked a home spa session once I reached my home and washed before settling to eat.
After the spa session, I looked at myself astonished at the witchcraft these people performed on me. I looked hot, like seriously, I never knew I could be this fineeeeee. These spa guys are really witches, I swear. The only downside though was that they cut my hair which wasn't bad at all, its just I liked the hair it signified some phases in my life I overcame.

Fast forward to evening, I drove to Josh's place and dude was so so happy to see me. With the way he hugged me, you'd think I was away for a month but I was so happy to see him tho, I missed the idiot. He suggested he headed to his club to catch up.

"So, I got the money and bought the shares as you requested. Care to let me know what's really going on now...why are the company's shares up for public subscription and how did you get that kind of money...are you stealing from your dad's company?", he fired off at once shortly after we arrived the club which was bubbling by the way. I guess business was good. We were at the personal VVIP lounge.

"Ah bro it's a long story man, but I'll tell you",I said . I let him in on everything that transpired from the shares ish to the inheritance ish.

When I finished , he gave a low whistle. "So you mean you're billionaire now and also part of a Mafia?", he asked slowly, bewilderment still apparent on his face. I nodded smiling.

"Don't forget, part owner of this club too", I said smiling. That seemed to jolt him out of his reverie as he sharply turned towards my direction.

"Which owner and which club?", he asked hotly. I laughed lightly. "You see when I sent you that money and you bought the shares in your club's name, it can be argued that that amount you received was an investment".

He scoffed while taking a sip from his drink. "Joker, that means I've got shares in your company too which isn't such a bad thing if you look at it". Now it was my turn to scoff. "Shares
I'd soon buy back from you".
We joked around for a while before I told him about my plan to let Fola in on everything.

"About time bro", he commended while giving me a fist bump. "Honestly, I didn't see why you didn't want to tell her about it since".
I shut shrugged. "Maybe I was just scared, but that's all past now. I'm ready", I said.

"Good to hear man, so I'm guessing this means you've figured out a way to take Hailey down and clear your name?", he asked. I was about to take a sip from my drink but his question made my hand hang in the air with my drink. I slowly brought my hand down as i shook my head slowly.

"Nah bro, nothing yet", I replied.

"Oh", was his reply before he emptied his cup.
"I have an idea though", he continued once he'd swallowed his drink. Eagerly, I dropped my drink and smiled at him. "My man, cmon spill it", I urged on.
"OK, here it goes", he started, his voice suddenly going low and I just rolled my eyes. Josh and drama are inseparable.

"Since you're in now, you know, a mafia Lord or something like that, you could ...", he looked around and lowered his voice the more, ".....you could just kidnap Hailey and torture her till she confesses. You and your gang could just wear masks and record the whole thing so you'd get the confession on tape. Great idea right?", he finished smiling while rubbing his palms together.
I just stared at him and kept asking myself how I'm friends with this baboon. Jokes on me for even thinking Josh would offer a reasonable solution but....but there's actually some sense in what he said but torturing her would be over the line, I'd be no different from her and besides I don't think a confession made under duress would be admissable in court.

I was about to tell Josh his idea wasn't welcome in the most polite way I could come up with when T entered. She looked really good and when she saw me, she rushed to hug me squealing. They are just the perfect pair, the drama king and the drama queen.
As I hugged her back, another person no scratch that, two people entered laughing about something. They hadn't turned to our direction so I couldn't see their faces well but when they did I stilled. It was Fola and Moe, holding hands
The first thought on my mind was to go ask those spa guys for a refund.......TBC

Dibz's POV

After all formalities and signing of lots and lots of paperwork, I was in actual possession of my inheritance and my bank had acquired substantial amount of shares needed for my plan. Everything took me almost two weeks before I could eventually leave Bahamas. With everything going on I almost forgot I had a family so I decided to branch at London to see my mum and dad. I won't lie, I was a bit scared. I thought my sister had told my mum about my apology to Hailey and she (my mum) in her anger had refused to call or reach out to me in any way possible, but it was a huge relief when she rushed towards me at my arrival and hugged the life out of me. Apparently, Debbie had told mum nothing caused she even asked after her . She thought Debbie was still staying in the house with me. Dad seemed alright, at least he could move around now but couldn't do any strenuous activity. I intimated him on my plans to secure back ownership of our company and he commended it although he wasn't still onboard about my involvement in the Anika clan or the fact that the took the 'dirty money'. I assured him that I'd be okay and he should just focus on recovering.
The night before I left London, I took a walk around , enjoying the kiss of the very cool weather on my face as I went over lots of things in my head. I still had to figure out a way to clear my name in the rape scandal with Hailey which wasn't showing any promise at all. I just can't figure out a way to get her to confess or find proof that I'm innocent. The only card I had left was to use the cleaner, the one who told me about the video on Hailey's laptop but I know she'd never agree to testify and honestly, I don't blame her. Her life and that of her loved ones would be endangered which might even cause her to even testify against me cause of the pressure that'd mounted on her by Hailey and her family. Now here's another issue with Fola, not one day passed without me thinking of her.
Everyday I picked up the phone to call her but then I remembered she said I shouldn't reach out to her till I was ready to be straight with her and I'd just drop the phone. I stalked her social media just to see her face and it took everything in me not to reply the stupid love comments some guys dropped on her posts.
I sat on a bench and took in the whole scenery, it was nice and then I imagined Fola next to me, clutching onto my arm with her head on my shoulders and it was beautiful.

"Sorry mate, could pls take a picture of us?", a guy said to me while handing me his phone.

"Yeah sure", I said quietly as I took the phone. The guy was black while the girl was white, a beautiful white. They giggled as they posed for the pictures and I'm sure even a blind person would have seen how into each other they were.
I took some more pictures before I returned the phone out of jealousy or envy, whichever.
Yes, I was jealous of how at ease with which they expressed their love. Why couldn't my own be like that, why did there have to be so much complications involved??

"Lord pls help me, I need your help in my life now", I prayed silently as I walked back home.
I don't know how but shortly after my short prayer, I felt better and lighter. I don't know why but I could just feel it in my heart that my life wasn't as bad as I felt it was.
Suddenly, I felt it was time I told Fola about the whole Hailey issue and what I was planning, damning the consequences and if worse came to worst I'd employ an entire army to protect her. Afterall, I had enough money to prolly last two generations. I began to wonder why I was so scared of Hailey and her family like my own family wasn't just as or even more influential. Fola's family was too but somehow, my whole experience had convinced my mind to succumb to fear and weakness whenever this issue was brought up. Well, not anymore.

"Hello Fred", I said into the receiver immediately he picked up. "Get the jet ready, we're leaving for Nigeria now". ........TBC
