Heya sorry dear

Eshey sir.

pamel B pls give us dinner b4 going to bed we know its not easy but u know wat d story is so so fantastic God blessings on u

So touching... feel like crying

You are a bunch of talent

As early as 11am on Sunday,Rose was already at the house. She had told us that she came straight from church. As usual,mum was very happy to see her. They talked for a while before Rose changed into one of my clothes and we sat down to chat for a bit at the terrace.

Rose: So how's Hillary? Kamsi told me you both went out the other day?

Me; Yes. I had fun.

Rose: So you finally said yes?

Me: Of course. Hillary is such a nice guy. I wonder where he'd being all my life.

Rose: Wow.

Kamsi: He's being waiting for the right time. And immediately the time was ripe,he came.

Me: Miss philosopher.

Kamsi: Call me that again.

We all laughed and got busy with our phone. Some minutes later,Hillary called.

Hillary: Hi bae

Me: Hi dear.

Hillary: Will you be kind enough to step outside your gate? I'm parked here and waiting for a Cinderella to come and walk me to the ball.

My chuckle got Kamsi and Rose' attention and they stared at me.

Me: You won't only get a Cinderella,you'll also get Jasmine and snow white.

Hillary: Beautiful. Please I'm waiting

I hung up and told the girls and they smiled.

Rose: So,I'm not fair so I'm Jasmine.

Kamsi: Unarguably Snow white.

We shared a laugh before walking downstairs and outside the gate. He was sitting on the hood of his car. He was dressed in a body hugged shirt and jean trouser. His shoe was shiny black and he looked like one going for a fashion show. My friends and I couldn't help but stare shamelessly.

Hillary: Won't you stop staring and at least give me a hug.

I came out from my trance and hugged him,sharing a quick kiss too.

Hillary: (turned to Rose) Jasmine,how are you?

Rose: I'm fine handsome. You look amazing.

Hillary: Thank you. (turned to Kamsi) Snow white,how are you as well?

Kamsi: Better than yourself.

Hillary: I doubt.

We shared a laugh before entering the house. We led him to the sitting room where mum was seeing a movie.

Hillary: Good day Mrs Kalu.
He greeted with a little bow.

Mum: Good day son. How're you?

Hillary: Very fine ma. You look quite good yourself.

Mum smiled like a teenager.

Mum: Thank you my dear. Please have a seat. You're just in time for lunch.

I looked at the wall clock and it was some minutes going to 1:00.

We all sat down.

Mum: Amanda,go ask the girls if they're done with making the table,Kamsi,go call your brothers.

Did I mention that Ken had moved to his own building? I guess I did not so please forgive me.

Kamsi walked out while I went to the Kitchen. I passed the dinning and noticed that the table was already prepared and I liked what I saw. I was tempted to take a peak to know the meals we'll be having but on a second thought,I turned and went back to the sitting room.

Mum and her in-laws (Rose and Hillary) were already conversing so I stepped out of the house.
Kamsi was taking a call so I stood beside her. She dismissed the caller and turned to me.

Me: So you've not called your brothers?

She smiled and kicked my shoulders playfully.

Kamsi: Was thinking of a way to inform Gospel,maybe sending him a message. I've vowed never to go into his apartment again.

I frowned at her but she didn't stop.

Kamsi: I'm beginning to see him as the black sheep of this house.

Me: Are you alright?

Kamsi: Of course I am. You don't get it do you? He's not the gentleman I've always thought him to be. I dunno what changed him and....

Me: You know what? Go and call Ken while I call Gospel. We'll talk about this after today.

Kamsi: Whatever.

I spanked her behind with my palm and we both went on our different directions.
I got to the door and rang the bell and the door swung open immediately.


Me: Hi.

Gospel: Amanda,come inside.
He was on a jean short and polo and he had a smile plastered on his face.

Me: No. Not now. I was sent to call you. Lunch has being served.

He looked at me like I was hiding something.

Gospel: So I guess your boyfriend is here?

Me: Yes. Together with Rose.

Gospel: Okay. I'll join you guys in two minutes.

I walked away,surprised that he didn't react,also praying that he doesn't have a back up plan hatching somewhere.
Mum was still busy with Hillary,asking him his parents occupation,where they lived,where they came from,trying to drill out everything about him,with Hillary in turn,giving her all the answers with a smile.

I sat down and joined Rose. Kamsi and Ken came in some minutes later.

Ken walked to Hillary who stood up and gave him a handshake.

Ken: Hillary right?

Hillary: Yes and you are?

Ken: Kenneth. Nice meeting you.

Hillary: The pleasure is all mine.

They both sat down beside mum.

Ken: I've heard quite a lot about you and I do hope they are all true.

Hillary laughed,throwing his head back.

Hillary: Depends on what you heard.

Ken: I see you're an intelligent guy. I hope you'll be able to take care of my sister.

Hillary: I.....

Gospel: Of course he will. If he doesn't,I'll so beat him up.

We all turned to look at him and he was all smiles. He approached Hillary and offered his hand for a handshake. We were all surprised including mum. Hillary looked into his face and shook his hand,looking back at me for answers but I just shrugged my shoulders,indirectly telling him that I knew nothing.


Was this part of a plan? Or has Gospel changed for good?

PamelB:

Part of the plan I dont think he's gonna let go without a fight.



Good morning

another interesting update. Bring it on.

Kwantinew ur blessed

Nne, gaba n'iru. Biko akwusi kwana.

Lunch was amazing. Different varieties of food; from fried rice and drilled fish to yam and sauce with fried eggs. There was also a chicken soup,some baked cakes and fruits to wash down the meal. I didn't have time to acknowledge the meal because it was like a rule in the Kalu's residence,never to talk while eating. The only thing you'll keep hearing is,"please pass the salt" or "is there any serviette at that side?".

But once we had all left the table,every one started confessing about the meal including Hillary and Rose.

We all sat down at the sitting room to discuss. The look on mum's face showed that she was happy and anyone seeing us sitting together would think that we're gathered for a family meeting.

Mum: I'm not going to take much of your time as its compulsory that I take my siesta,I don't play with it especially on Sundays as it is the only day I get to relax properly. I just need to chip in one or two sentences.

She paused and looked at our faces.

Mum: You're all grown ups. The youngest amongst you all is Amanda and she's no longer a kid. I want unity between all of you here. See each other as brothers and sisters. Quarrels and feuds should be far gone from you all. I know why I'm saying it and most of you know that as well. You all are old enough to know what's right and wrong. You also have rights to call yourselves to order when you see that one of you is doing something contrary to your expectations. Finally,I wouldn't want you all to disappoint me. Keep clean records and never,I mean never do anything to jeopardize your relationships.

She looked at all of us as if the words would sink in properly with her looks.

Mum: Having said that,I beg to leave you all now. Have fun and call me once dinner is served.

We thanked her and watched as she walked up the stairs gracefully.

Gospel was the first to break the silence.

Gospel: So,Hillary, tell us,what do you do with your free time?

Hillary cleared his throat..

Hillary: I go to my father's hospital to help in the lab.

Ken: Wow! Your dad is a medical doctor?

Hillary: Yes.

Ken: Interesting. What are you studying in school?

Hillary: Microbiology.

Ken: What year.

Hillary: I'm in my finals.

Ken: Congratulations dude.

Gospel: So,what time do you spare then for Amanda?

Hillary: Oh! I always make sure we see at least three times in a week.

Gospel: Just that?

Hillary: Yes. That way, it won't make the relationship boring. I don't want her to get tired of seeing my face. Though I know I'll love to see hers everyday and I plan to make it so.

We all laughed except Gospel. I could see the defeat in his eyes.

Gospel: So how old are you?

Hillary: Wow! Is it necessary?

Gospel: Of course it is. I....

Hillary: I'm 24.

Gospel: Ken is already a lawyer at 24.

I frowned immediately. A quick tension passed through the sitting room but Hillary remained with a smile.

Hillary: That's very good. Very encouraging I must say. So when did you leave school?

Gospel: I schooled abroad. Got my degree at 23,now,I'm managing my father's multinational company.

I knew what he was trying to do but I refused to say a word because I wouldn't want our beautiful day to end up in fights.

Gospel: I'm the youngest CEO around the globe with a certificate from Oxford and Harvard.

Hillary scoffed and didn't say a word,instead he sipped from his glass and focused more on the fool who wanted to show him he was lesser.
Kamsi stepped out with Rose to God knows where but I refused to leave.

Hillary: You've made a name for yourself I must say. Congratulations.

Gospel: Thank you. I deserve it.

Ken: So tell us,where are you from?

Hillary: My parents are from Udi local government.

Ken: Your parents? What about you? Ain't you from there as well?

Hillary: I'm from California. I was born and raised here and only came back to be with my parents for a while.

I saw the smile on Gospel's face disappear and change to a look of surprise. He wasn't getting the victory anymore and I had Ken to thank for throwing in that question at that time.

So I want to thank everyone for their love,encouragement and support. And for minding my slow updates (though I know that some writers update once a day).

So thank you all o.. Have a wonderful day dearies.

Thanks for the update Pamel.
I hope you're opened to corrections?
I noticed you often use "being" instead of "been"
"Have" goes with "been" while "is" goes with "being".
Have a good day at work and thank you once again for the update.

Yinmu

Nice one ma'am and btw,thanks for the update.

***to my sweetheart,my Onyii,who's reading this story. My sweetheart who doesn't believe that relationships work. Onyii repent o***



Ken: Wow! So you're a citizen there?

Hillary nodded,sipping from his glass again.

Ken: I swear you're good man. You don't even act like one. Your personality is beautiful.

Hillary: What's the need? I love this place more that's why I tried to adapt immediately I came in.

Ken: Beautiful. I like you man.

Hillary: Same with me here.

Ken: Follow me to my apartment. I need to show you some stuffs.

They excused themselves and left the sitting room. I was now alone with Gospel. He wasn't smiling and he seemed so distracted. I went to him and tapped him.

Me: Thinking of what to do next?

He hissed and looked away but I won't stop pestering him. No.

Me: You got a degree at 23 yet you can't maintain a relationship. You're not even good at it. Things...

Gospel: Amanda please.

Me: Please what? Accept defeat and leave my life alone. Let me be. I've moved on. Quit trying to show Hillary that he's not good for me. He's the best gentleman I've ever met outside Ken so leave us alone.

He stood up and held my shoulders lovingly. I was even surprised.

Gospel: Okay. Fine. I accept that I don't like that boy. I admit okay. But you know I love you. You know how much I care about you.

Me: No you don't care about me. You don't.

Gospel: They say,you don't know the value of what you have till you loose it. I've lived in regret and it worsened after I saw you with this boy. I love you so much and I'm ready to make amends. I promise.

I stepped away from him,turning my back to him and fighting the tears that were threatening to fall.

Me: I needed support,love,attention but you offered none. Even if you couldn't continue with me,at least,you would have being kind enough to hide those words. You said them before me,in my presence, you didn't mince words remember? What happened? Now you've seen this light that is shining on my path and you want me to leave it and come back to you? Gospel,its not done. I love Hillary a lot and I'm ready to step on toes just to prove that point.

Gospel: The same way I'm ready to step on toes to prove mine too. I love you so much. Don't you get it? You drive me crazy,being without you has left me empty and useless. I need you in my life baby and I'm willing to do anything to make you happy,I promise.

I turned back to face him and he held my hands.

Me: You don't need to step on toes for my sake cause you've stepped on more than necessary. You've done enough. I don't care about whatever stupid love you have for me. I'm happy now so quit trying to be nice.

He left my hands immediately and frowned his face.

Gospel: I'm sorry Amanda but you're making things very difficult for me. What part don't you get? The part that I love you or the part that that guy doesn't deserve you?

Me: Oh! I don't get any of them cause the only language my brain listens to now anything positive about my boyfriend.

He sneered and turned away.

Me: I don't care the way your brain interprets it. I'm in love with someone else and that's final.


Gospel: You lie.

Me; I see.

Gospel: If I can't have you,nobody will.

He turned and repeated it again,pausing his lips to make sure I understand.
I stood there as we looked each other in the face like sworn enemies.

Gospel: If you can't be mine,you can't belong to anyone else. I made you what and who you are so you owe me a lot. I own you and there's nothing you or anybody can do about it.

I found my voice immediately but instead of speaking,I found my arm flying in the air and registering a slap on his face.

Me: You listen,I own my life. If there's anyone I should be fighting with about it,it should be God and not any useless and selfish man. That you picked me up from a dungeon,brushed me up,sheltered me,clothed me,doesn't mean you own my life. And as for what you said,you'll see with those two miserable eyes of yours how I'm so going to spend the rest of my life with the boy who loves me a lot and not you. You'll apologise with that miserable mouth of yours for every damn word you said here.

I stuck a finger out and poked at his chest.

Me: And when that time comes,I'll give you more slaps than I just did.

He didn't say another word. He just rubbed his chin and walked out.
I sighed and sat down,giving a deep thought to what just transpired. He shouldn't dare to hurt my boyfriend,if not,hell he'll have me to battle with.

I felt a new fire light up in me and I knew I had to fight this one,no matter who was involved, even if its not for my relationship,at least to get my sanity back.

Hmmm, Gospel is one hell of a scumbag. He's got some nerves too.
Continue the goodwork ma'am PamelB , more and more wisdom i pray.

Beuri'ful pamel, this is jst beuri'ful. Amenda i luv ur corage o

Interesting.
Please drop more episodes before going to bed.

Just as he had promised,I started my counselling the next day. He would always pick me up from the house and take me back home,then after my session,he'd come and take me home.

The session helped a lot as I also saw different girls whom their cases are a lot worse than mine,they were already acting like they were crazy. They avoided physical touch and would scream whenever someone approached them.

I watched videos and listened to audio messages which were made to strengthen victims and get them back on their feet. I swore never to give up on life anymore. I swore to fight whatever it was that happened to me.

I had the session for three weeks before my own time was up. That afternoon,Hillary had come in his car and was waiting downstairs for me to finish signing up. A lot of my mates who were doing the session with me congratulated me and prayed for my success. I ran down the stairs and into Hillary's awaiting arms. We embraced like we were long lost siblings. Someone who had seen us wouldn't know he was the one that brought me to the place that morning.

Hillary: I'm happy for you sweetheart.

Me: You made it possible. Thank you very much dear.

Hillary: So where do I take you?

Me: Before we go out,get into the car and I'll tell you something.

Hillary: Now?

Me: Yes please.

We both entered the car and he turned on the AC,staring at me like my face would give him the answers he needed.

Me: I'm sorry but please,I have something to tell you.

Hillary: That's why we're here. Tell me.

I cleared my throat and started talking. Telling him about my conversation with Gospel the day he had come to the house for lunch and dinner,including what he had said about not letting any other person have me. He maintained a straight face throughout the period of my explanations.

Me: Baby I'm scared.

Hillary: I know. Nothing will happen to us. We're meant to be and nothing or nobody will change that.

Me: But honey.....

Hillary: Sshhhhh. I don't like the way you sound sometimes. You always sound discouraging and you have to stop it.

Me: I'm sorry. It's just that I'm scared that he might do something bad to you.

Hillary: He won't touch a strand of my hair. He's just whining and talking trash. I won't leave you the way he did. I'll take care of you with all my life,with everything that I am.

Me: Thank you. I love you so much.

Hillary: And I love you more than life itself. So tell me where you wanna go for lunch and we'll be there in 20 minutes.


We spent the rest of the day visiting places of interest and eating lots of junks.
Sometime around 6,he took me home and after a passionate kiss at the gate,I went into the house after I watched him drive off.


I had finished from the bathroom and rubbing some ointment on my face when my phone started ringing.
I looked at my phone and it was Hillary.

Me: Hi baby.

Caller: Please don't be upset. Come to St. Patrick's hospital at the moment. The owner of this phone was rushed here and his phone read that you were the last person he contacted.


I looked at the screen of my phone and of course it was Hillary's number. What was this guy saying?

Me: What do you mean by he was rushed to St Patrick? What happened to him?

Caller: I'm sorry ma but you need to come and know for yourself. St Patrick please.

He hung up before I could speak further. That was when I let my throat loose and screamed on top of my voice.




I wanna apologise before tomorrow. My data will be finishing tonight and I won't be able to subscribe just yet.
So please,bear with me and I promise that it won't take time.
Love you all.

Unbelievable. Amanda, sowie o,i hate to say this buh i think you should go for deliverance. First, twas your uncle, then emeka, gospel turn bad too and now, ts Hillary.

So I'm back. Hope you guys didn't miss me that much?



Back at the Okoye's residence, things haven't being going down well with mother and daughter;

Mum: For months,we've not cooked in this house,always eating out. If we continue this way,we'll go bankrupt before Christmas.

Nenye: What? Mum don't even say that. Dad left a huge amount of money for us. You've got your business and Amanda's money too. How can you think of that word,bankruptcy?

Nenye said,filing her nails without looking up at her mum.

Mum: Look how it's easy for you to say it? The weekly allowance I give you? The things you order online? You go to school,see something Amanda puts on and you come home and cry on my head that I get it for you. You insisted on a car and I bought you one. I must confess,you're the one lavishing the money.

Nenye: Of course I'm your only child so you've got to do things to make me happy. Imagine that Amanda,if you see her phone,or the kind of clothes,handbags and jewelries she puts on? I think that's why that classy Rose became her friend,a girl I've wanted to befriend since last semester.

Mum: I'm saying something else and you're here talking balderdash.

Nenye: Mum?

Mum: Get your useless self up from that chair and go to the kitchen. From today,we'll do the cooking in this house.

Nenye stood up quickly but instead of going away,she dusted her short and placed her left hand on her waist.

Nenye: When I wanted to learn how to do all these things,you stopped me,you called it suffering. I won't touch a thing in this house,I won't lift a finger. If you want someone who'll do the cooking and household work,kindly get a house help,but if your pocket is too small to contain her,better do them yourself.

Mum: Nenye!

Nenye: Its the truth mum. I can't do anything and please,don't make me do any. Anyways,today is Thursday,my allowance is tomorrow,hope you'll still give me that. I deserve it you know.

Mum: Get out. Money is the only thing you care about.

Nenye: Fine. I'm sorry for the way I just spoke to you. You started all these you know.

Mrs Okoye raised a hand to slap her but stopped in mid air.

Nenye: Chei. Mumsy,you bin wan slap me? I'm not Amanda o. I'm not Amanda that you treated anyhow. I'm not the curse of your misfortunes so no just try am. She's gone now and you wan transfer that your wickedness to my side,no just try am.

Nenye walked away while her mother stared in shock. Did her daughter just talk to her in that manner? She sat down heavily on a sofa and the tears started flowing. Her daughter had just insulted her,using foul words on her? She carried her weeping self to the room and lay down,crying her heart out and wondering where she had gone wrong(imagine)


**********************************

We were on our way to St Patrick with Ken behind the wheels. Kamsi and I were sitting at the back and she was rubbing my shoulders.

Kamsi: He's fine. Trust me.

Me: We just came home few hours ago. What must have happened to him? Jesus!

Kamsi: At least,I'm glad you've got a grip on yourself. Let's get there first.

Me: Let nothing happen to him God. Please save him for me.

Kamsi: Nothing will happen to him. Trust God.

Me: I wonder where......

I was interrupted by my phone. It was an unidentified number so I picked it.

Me: Hello.

Caller: Baby.

That voice was familiar. I knew that voice. Where have I heard that voice before? I....

Me: Hillary!

Hillary: Yes baby. I...

Me: Sshh. We're coming to the hospital to see you. Keep quiet and be still. I'm happy you're okay. Your voice is....

By now,Ken had packed to a corner of the road and they were both looking at me with expectant eyes.

Hillary: Hospital? Who's in the hospital?

I frowned my face immediately. So even in his Ill health,he loves to crack jokes?

Me: Now don't play smart with me. We're coming to that hospital.

Hillary: But I'm at home. I'm calling you with a friend's number.

Me: At home? Have you been discharged?

Hillary: I wasn't even in a hospital. We were together through out today nau so when did I get admitted?

Me: But baby,someone called with your number,saying you were rushed to the hospital. What then is that?

Hillary: Oh! I think he got what he deserves.

Me: Who?
