Reading: The Last Virgin Alive

Interested readers can get it free here: http://www.bookateria.net/books/the-last-virgin-alive-2-preview/

Capable has his reason for calling his victims in the night – they
will still be in sleep mode and won’t be able to respond sharp and smart.
By that, he will have a better control over the conversation.
Janet Smith's phone rang repeatedly but went unanswered.
She is sleeping, he thought.
He has to talk to her today, tonight. She has to hear the bad news
from him and not from Juanita who tried as much as possible to keep
her cool. He had to get to her before Juanita could reach her. He needed
to enjoy the pleasure of having her cry or beg him.

Hearing it from him will prepare her to turn blind ear to whatever
Juanita might tell her to keep her cool.
He sat up again and redialed her phone number the sixth time.
He waited patiently as it began to ring again.
Soon, she will pick, he thought. Soon, she will hear the bad news.
* * * * * *
By now Janet Smith had the after-effect of the ringing tone in her
brain.
Even after the phone had stopped ringing, she could still hear it
ringing in her brain.
I cannot continue this way, she thought annoyingly. I’ll face my
demons one way or the other. I’ll have to give Smart a piece of my mind
sooner or later.
With that single thought in mind, she stretched to pick up the
phone.
The moment she checked the screen, she discovered it was not
Smart calling her after all.
It was an ‘Unknown Number’.
She was surprised, but for a second.
If Smart thinks he can call me with an Unknown Number and I’ll
not know, he’s wrong!
She picked.
“Smart, why can’t you just stop calling me?” She screamed into the
phone. “You’re the one who cheated on me and you should have thought
of the consequence before sleeping with another girl.”
“Am I speaking with Janet Smith?” The voice said calmly.
She stopped ranting and her heart froze for a second.
“Yes, who am I speaking with, please?”
“You must be the last virgin I’ve been watching her sex video for
sometime now?”

What?! Her heart cut in her throat.
“Excuse me?!” For a moment Janet didn’t think she heard the guy
clearly. She could only hold the phone to her ear, blinking back the
shock. “What did you just say?”
“Oh, pardon me. I was just asking if you would like to feature in a
pornography film because with what I just watched you will become a
porn star overnight?”
“Are you high on something?” Janet jumped to her feet, shaking
visibly now.
“Sure I’m not.” The voice said innocently. “I’m just seeing a future
where you become a porn star!”
That was enough to make her lose her temper.
“Did you just escape from where you’re being treated or you forgot
to take your drugs according to prescription. Who are you, calling
someone in the middle of the night just to say rubbish?” She insulted
him.
How did a confused man get my phone number for crying out
loud?!
“I don’t need to know Smart’s girlfriend. As a matter of fact, you
need to know me.”
Janet was stunned when she heard him mention Smart’s name.
She quickly recovered. She won’t give this impossible guy the pleasure
of being taken off-guard.
“And who in the world do you think you are? The President’s son?”
“No, I’m the guy who has the video of your unclothedness.” He
announced so proudly. “I’m the guy who just watched your sex video
with Smart and I’ll leave you to imagine what I must have seen!”
Her heart stopped and sank into the pit of her stomach.
Speechless and with shaking voice, she asked. “Who is this?”
“For a start you can call me Capable, Sweetheart.” He answered.
“When you said you watched my sex video,” she paused, closing
her eyes in shame and possibility of her sex video being watched. “Are
you saying you watched Smart and I sleeping together?”
“God, do you call that sleeping together?” Capable said, sounding
annoyed. “You were making love like a porn star.”


“Stop! Stop!” She screamed into the phone, feeling the reality of the
whole thing. “Where is the video? What do you want?”
“Wow!” Capable said, feeling surprised. “That’s fast. Alright, here is
it. I want something and I’ll let you know about it in my own time. I’ll
call back by 6am.”
The line went off and Janet died a hundred times.
The night suddenly seemed so long. - 23

Continuation:


Doris Jakes still couldn’t sleep even after taking valium five. Her
head was still aching as it had been since Pascal Parkman announced
the dissolution of their five year old "marriage".
To her, she is married to Pascal as long as they lived under the
same roof.
She had fought for her relationship in the past and that was why
she was able to win Pascal Packman back and she will fight again.
Back then it was not right, it was not a fair fight, but now it was
going to be a fair fight. No man of God will advise you not to fight for
your marriage. They will tell you to give your marriage everything it will
take to fight and save it from dying.

But to what end? You can fight for love and win the other girl, but
can you win his love back? If he had interest in the other girl, he will
always use the ‘other’ girl as a yardstick to measure your relationship
even if you win.
Just like when she war against the virgins in the past. In the end
she won, but did she really win?
If the guy is not man enough to fight for the love he has for you,
then the best way is to walk away. If the guy truly loves you, he will fight
for you, not the other way round. It’s the duty of a guy to fight for love
not yours.
Maybe the prophetess was right after all. At least, she can see that
for herself now.
She shouldn’t have hired Smart to sleep with those virgins. She
shouldn’t have tempted fate. She shouldn’t have attempted to change
destiny. The prophetess had seen all these things and had warned
Pascal of them. She had warned him that if he marries her, he will be
marrying the wrong girl. But she had played God and she had altered
the course of Pascal’s destiny.
What can you not do for love? She should have let things be. She
should have let him go ahead and marry one of the virgins. She should
have left to fight another day.
He’s always fond of Juanita’s cousin, what’s her name again, Janet.
Janet Smith.
He seems to have deep feelings for that girl, but because of her
selfishness and vengeance she had changed Pascal destiny and maybe
hers also.
Maybe she can still put things right. Maybe she can play god one
more time and return the course of destiny back to normal. It’s time to
go back to the past and undo certain things, things she doesn’t have the
right to meddle with, things that only concern the gods and…
Her phone kept ringing. It had been ringing all night and she
thought it must be Pascal Parkman trying to apologize, but she’s not in
the mood to talk to him or anyone right now.
She ignored it and forced herself to sleep.

It was 5.45AM that the second call from Capable reached Janet
Smith.
She was sitting on her bed when her phone beeped the eighteenth
time and she ignored it again.
It must be Smart. She thought.
Ever since she caught him with a girl on his roof, he had kept
sending her text messages.
‘We should talk,’
‘It’s not what you think’
‘I can explain it’
She had studiously ignored all of them. He had taken her for a fool
to believe he can talk his way out of this one. It’s over and that’s all that
matters now.
The phone stopped ringing and after five seconds it began to ring
again.
It can only be Smart, trying to apologize, she thought as she
ignored it again. He’s just wasting his time. Whatever they have going is
over!
There is certainly no excuse for what she just found out about him.
She thought he had given up all those things. If he had not, it means he
had been very clever about it.
I’ve been a fool not to have seen this coming! I’ve been a fool to
date him this long! I’ve been a complete fool to waste five years with a
guy like Smart! He had been so smart to have kept away his affair from
me until now. But for how long had he been sleeping around? Two
years? Three years?
When someone breaks your heart, apart from missing them, apart
from the fact that the little world you’ve created together collapses, and
that everything you see or do reminds you of them. The worst is how
stupid you feel at being deceived.

That was the reason why Janet Smith was falling apart. That was
the reason sleep refuse to come tonight.
Her fiancé of five years is sleeping with a less pretty lady.
Has he quickly forgotten how he forcefully slept with her and put
the act on a video? How could he have forgotten how he hurt her and
what she had suffered through that one incident?
Thrice like that, she had felt like picking his calls in the hope he
could deny everything, come up with plausible explanation for the
clothes-free rooftop lady as his younger sister, a friendly neighbor
recovering from cold or something similar – just anything to make
everything all right.
Juanita Copeland had warned them in her sermon saying, “If your
guy wants to break up with you it won’t matter what you meant to him
yesterday.” She had went further to explain saying, “Forget what you
sacrificed for him, forget the years you wasted dating him, don’t even
bring up the fact that he took your virginity because if he want to drop
you for another girl, those things won’t matter anymore.”
Well, the rooftop girlfriend was not that gorgeous than her and he’s
so blind to cheat on her with her. Why did she even think someone that
once had history with prostitute can change overnight or over the years?
Juanita has one rule: never, ever trust a guy sleeps around because
marriage can never ever change him.
Why did she even bring herself to love someone who has past
history with prostitutes – someone with HIV AIDS?
She and Smart are still positive and only Juanita knows about their
status.
Even her husband, Pastor Kelvin Copeland, doesn’t know about it.
Janet had begged Juanita to keep the secret between the two of them
and Juanita had kept that promise.
Since then she had been taking retroviral drugs praying for a
complete cure. She had tried several times to tell Smart about his status
in other to start taking the retroviral drugs, she even asked him to check
his status.
“Me?” Smart had said so bluntly. “Do I look sick to you? Do I look
like I can ever be HIV positive? How can you suggest something like
that to a guy as careful and healthy-looking like me? Are you saying you
don’t trust me? See, Janet, I’m loyal and faithful to you, I’ve not been
sleeping around with women so I’m not prone to HIV and there is no
way you can contact HIV from me.”
She already did.
What you don’t know can’t hurt you. How can she tell Smart that
he’s positive? How will he take the news? What will the news do to the
relationship she had guarded so jealously?
Smart will find it very difficult to believe that she contacted it from
him. He will believe he contacted it from her and there is no way you
can prove otherwise.
Her decision not to tell him will continue to hurt other innocent
girls who ignorantly go to bed with him. There's no doubt that the
rooftop girlfriend is now positive. How about the girls that will fall for
his charm tomorrow? How about the ones that will fall for his charm
next month? How about next year? Will their blood be required from
her hands?
Maybe it’s time to tell him the truth about himself.
Maybe it’s time to break his heart just as he broke hers because it
doesn’t matter to her anymore! - 19

Continuation - 3 - RULES OF THE GAME!!!

Juanita’s phone interrupted her dream. She rolled over on her bed
to pick it up.
“It has begun.” The voice said so firmly without introduction.
“What?” She said, yawning. “What has begun?”
The voice said. “The long buried secret is here.”
“Who is this?” She said what generally would come to mind in a
situation like this.
“I’m a friend of Doris Jakes.” The male voice answered. “I have
something you want. Something you will do anything to prevent from
going public.”
Juanita suddenly remembered Doris, and Anita Davies, the only
friend she knows with her, but this is a male voice.
It can’t be Pascal Parkman and what does he mean ‘I have
something you want’?
In that moment, Juanita knew what was coming.
“What do I want that you have?”
“I’ve got the videos of your virgins with me. I’ve watched them all
and it’s time to watch Season Two, don’t you think?”
Juanita gasped in shock like someone swallowing water in a rush.

“You’re joking, right?” She quickly sat up straight on her bed, her
heart beating fast.
Kelvin was fast asleep beside her and Elvis must still be asleep in
his room.
She knew she will raise her voice any moment from now and that
would wake Kelvin.
Kelvin chose that moment to turn beside her.
She waited a second and when she was sure he was still fast asleep,
she quietly peeled herself from the bed and tiptoed out of the bedroom
into darkness of the kitchen.
“As a matter of fact, I’m watching the one that belong to your little
cousin.” Capable was saying, faking satisfaction with his voice. “She’s so
hot. My god, she has this sexy figure, the most beautiful body I’ve ever
seen. Oh, please don’t make me tell you the birthmark on her buttock.
That alone adds romance to the video. Trust me, if I take this to the
market, your cousin will become a porn celebrity overnight. She’s a tiger
in bed!”
“Is this some kind of sick joke?” Juanita decided to cut in.
“No, actually I stumbled on the sex tapes and I can’t wait to do
magical things with them. You know what I mean.”
Yes, she knows what he means. She could imagine the havoc those
video could do to its victim – it’s a naked weapon.
“You can’t be serious. There are no videos left. I destroyed the last
of them myself.”
“Really, in that case, I’ll start uploading them, but I promise you,
there won’t be error in connection this time. Anita might have failed,
but I’ll be more careful.”
“Alright, let’s assume you have copies of the videos, what do you
want in return for the video?”
“You!”
She was stunned. “Me?”
The line went dead and Juanita could only stand still in the
darkness, her thoughts running riot.
What in the world is going on tonight?
You? What does he mean by ‘You’?
He can’t possibly be thinking what I’m thinking.

She decided to retry the number and discovered it was a ‘private
number.’
She sighed and decided to call Doris to be sure it’s was a prank. She
had to be sure. She dialed her number and it rang repeatedly without
answering.
She stood in the darkness for a moment, trying to shake off the
tension from her shoulder. Then the kitchen light suddenly came on.
“Sweetheart, what’s wrong?” Kelvin was standing at the doorway.
“Oh, it’s nothing.” She said trying very hard to force a smile.
“Are you sure, because you look like you’ve seen a ghost?”
Yes, I just spoke with one. She screamed silently to herself.
“Oh me,” She felt confused as to how to respond and change the
topic. “No, I’m okay. I just had a bad night.”
“Alright, let's get back to bed then.”
Even as Kelvin said those soothing words, Juanita knew she was
not going to sleep tonight. How could she sleep with the knowledge that
a five-year-old buried secret had resurrected!

Even as Kelvin said those soothing words, Juanita knew she was
not going to sleep tonight. How could she sleep with the knowledge that
a five-year-old buried secret had resurrected!

After a very long time, the sex videos of the virgins are back again and are in the wrong hands.

How did the sex tape suddenly resurface? Who has the videos?

Why would anyone dig them up? What purpose could the videos possibly serve – Lust or vengeance? Maybe to settle an old score!

Now, Juanita and her virgins must do everything and anything possible to retrieve and destroy the last of the sex tape before anyone could watch it.

They will find themselves facing the worst enemies of their lives as they unearth the kind of secrets any man of God will do anything to
keep and as they close in on a ruthless ghost, Juanita may be setting herself up as the next target.
Many questions beg for answers but that’s not exactly where Season Two of The Last Virgin Alive began because many eyes are on Kelvin Copeland now, and one of them is not friendly. Cynthia Maker will soon devour him and take advantage of his fast growing church. Soon she will begin to make her move, as she will attack Kelvin with a crisis so great, that even he cannot possibly imagine.

Trust me, nothing could have prepared Juanita and Kelvin Copeland for what await them in the Season two.

Fellow Nairalanders,

I salute you all. I've been wondering. Everytime I come here to read the lovely articles and novels here.

Is it possible for us to have a platform where dedicated and fine authors like you and you can contribute their writings and create a followership.

So that whenever you drop your story, on the page, you will have your picture well displayed, a little write-up about your self, and the number of people following you. Readers who read your stories can drop comments and review all without loosing sight of the original artile and author.

We could also have a community that works like facebook, sharing comments, checking on others, getting to meet others, sharing updates, notifications and much more.

I'd like to know your thoughts. We at www.bookateria.net are ready and willing to champion the cause. But first we want to know what you all feel about it.

Hi Lari,

How as being the sales performance of your ebook so far.

Fellow Nairalanders,

How does it feel, when you take your time to write a book, review it, type, design and exert so much stress and sleepless night.

Now its time to reap the fruit of your labour. Chances are you already planned to sell it in eBook format so as to expose it to a large audience that now prefer to read on their mobile device. Assuming you decide to sell for a price of say 3USD, translating to roughly 500 naira.

You have uploaded your book on an eBook sales site, gave it so much advert and publicity on Facebook and other online forum. Remember this will also consume your time and energy.

You have been able to attract a few readers, they purchased your book and liked it. You knew this because of the reviews. BUT here is the downtime, your readers recommended your book to their friends, BUT instead of sending them to buy form the book URL or link, they simply TRANSFER THE BOOK to them.

Who is loosing you, more people get to read your book but at no income to you.

How would you feel and what can you do. I'd really love to hear comments from you guys.

Story telling is an art – and like all arts, it comes from within. A good story, in black and white, is not simply an assortment of cheap vocabulary. The language of good prose should be simple so as to possess the hearts of both the super-literate and the average-literate. However, whilst the themes of stories follow no particular niche, they do follow a particular technical pattern. All good stories, whether long or short (and this even goes for novels) have a particular “storyline” that must be followed in order to produce a compelling, beautiful result. For you to craft beautiful and interesting stories that readers want to read, keep this basic and simple tips in mind.

Tip #1 – Create a storyline

Tip #2 – Work assiduously on your characters

Tip #3 – Generate meaningful dialogue

The tips are well explained. To read more please visit http://www.bookateria.net/essential-tips-writing-persuasive-compelling-stories/
