Isn't it a tad too late in the story to be bringing on new characters and plots? As it is, we're still eagerly awaiting what becomes of Linda and the Enitan-Tunde-Dele crew. Still, you're the one with the golden pen. Let's see how it all unfolds.

Hello LLeigh, great story.. been following for months now, but it's my first time of dropping a comment. You are just awesome.. love it.. like d way those dogs love Linda grin. I write a Lil as well, but can't share it as d tin tire me sef to read, and so I don't want to Punish anybodys eyes reading my yeye story.. sad

That said, the new characters, I just lost the whole plot, but I but I'm sure you'll connect them in D end Sha.

Another thing is I have a feeling Charles and lucien are no more a part of the story seeing they've sold Linda off, so I'm guessing there own part is done. Which is disappointing coz a lot of other readers of this story will agree with me on this, I've been waiting to get to know who Charles or lucien really is /was. I how he/they got to know all that information bout her. And the many times he read her thought perfectly. . Is he/they human or, what is the real connection between Linda nd Charles /lucien.

I've not had answers to all this, and it's like there parts are done.. Or maybe you'll bring them in again somehow. Still waiting. Thumbs up.

Hi kinah,

I thank you for your words and your words stayed with me while i was nursing myself better.
I understand where you are coming from and I appreciate you taking the time to read.

I really wish I could write faster, but I do research before I write then re write etc.
I wish I was also able to write everyday morning and night. I love writing, but alas the real world and the work sometimes has to take priority.
I apologise as I know it is frustrating holding on waiting for a writer to update.

One of my favourite stories I am still waiting for an update 3yrs on smiley

what inspires my moniker?

the human psyche, as humans we are capable of a lot wickedness...

there are also a lot of psychopaths out there, there is a lot of strange and wrong things going on in the world.
Things are covered up most of the time, we don't like conflict.

Unfortunately life is not kind.

I know people say this story is uncomfortable to read but, I have read a lot of real life crimes that if someone wrote about it people would say impossible.

I don't know who coined it but the truth is really stranger than fiction.

Back to writing smiley

Chapter 47

Dele walked back to his office from his latest trip to Roberto’s lost in thought, Enitan was still not back to work.

Roberto told him she had asked for more time off, all he told Dele was that there was some kind of family emergency.

‘Did you do anything to upset her Dele?’ Roberto asked, the eyebrows up on his forehead.

‘Roberto, no. Erm, nothing that I am aware of.’ He had responded. That bit was true he had no idea if he had upset her.
But why had she not responded to his calls?

This time around he decided he was going to see Enitan, he needed to make sure that she was ok. He had even swallowed his male ‘don’t call them’ stance and called her but it had gone straight to voice mail. She had been unreachable for a couple of days.

He had initially decided to go and see her the last time he had been to Roberto’s. But other events in his own personal life had superseded that intention.

He had gone back to his office that day to pick up his bag and laptop but had walked in on Ella crying in his office.
Not at her desk outside his office, but in his office.

The first thing that had alerted him to the fact that something was seriously wrong, was the fact that her leg on the table in the far corner of his office.

Luckily that day all of his team had already left so there was no one in the office apart from her and him when he came back.

That crisis had taken him the rest of the evening to sort out, just thinking about it made him sad and angry at the same time.

Hopefully his planned trip to Enitan today would not be derailed.

Had she suddenly developed second thoughts after their night together?

Why hadn’t she called him back?
Roberto had mentioned a family emergency.

Was she still having second thoughts about Tunde, even though they had divorced a while ago?

Maybe one of the kids was ill?

All these thoughts churned through Dele’s mind.

On the plus side the agency had confirmed that she had accepted the offer which was a big relief. That definitely signified that she was ok, she just did not want to speak to him.

Why?

He sighed, as he pressed the lift to his office.

It was early evening and most of the people in the office had left.

He just needed to make sure she never found out that he was going to be her boss.

He had noticed how frustrated she was getting in her job hunt plus the fact he did not want her working at Roberto’s, even though it was Roberto’s that had brought them together.

He just thought that it was below her status to work in such a place. He chided himself, he was just being arrogant and silly he thought to himself.

Enitan had not balked at working at the place she seemed to thrive on it, what bothered him if he were honest, were the men who kept on propositioning her. He knew for a fact that at least three men in his office would take her first class to anywhere in the world if she just smiled at them.

He had not let on to any of his staff that he knew her not to talk of having lived with her for a long while.

He walked into his office picked up his bag and laptop and left to go to Enitan’s house.

Forty minutes later, Dele rang the on the doorbell of Enitan’s flat.

He did not get a response, he pressed the bell again and two minutes later, he heard the footsteps of someone coming to the door. The locks were turned and Enitan appeared at the door.

‘Dele, what are you doing here?’ She asked in surprise.

She was wearing skinny black jeans and a white figure hugging t-shirt. Dele’s took it all in and swiftly returned to her face.

‘Enitan are you ok?’ Dele asked.

‘I have been to Roberto’s twice and he said you were off.’ He said.

He noticed that her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

‘I am fine Dele,’ she said as she opened the door further and beckoned him in.

He followed her into her living room his eyes never leaving the sight of her bum cheeks encased in the denim.
Stop it, he said to himself.

‘What is wrong Enitan?’ he asked again, once they were in her living room.

‘I am fine Dele, I am just suffering from hayfever,’ she said as she picked up some tissue, as if to buttress her point.

Hmm, he thought to himself it wasn’t even high pollen season.

He walked over to her, he noticed that she moved back ever so slightly as if she did not want him near her.
Something was definitely wrong, Dele thought.

Was she feeling ashamed because they had slept with each other, Dele wandered.

‘Enitan, please tell me what is wrong?’ he asked her as he moved out of her space and went to sit in one of the chairs.
She also sat on a chair as far away from him as possible. That alone set alarm bells of in his head. There definitely was something wrong.

‘How are the twins?’ he asked, looking at her.

There was slight change in her expression, ‘they are good thanks,’ she replied.

Hmm, Dele thought, if it’s not the kids then who or what was bothering her. It was obvious that there was something wrong.

He looked over at her one more time, ‘Enitan there is something bothering you, please tell me?’

‘Is it the job interview you went for?’


‘Did they say no?’
A slight smile hovered over her lips, she shook her head.

He got up from his chair and walked over to her, the minute he got close to her he noticed her moving back slightly again. As if she wanted to keep a certain distance between them.

What the hell was going on?

‘Enitan, please tell me what is going on.’ He said, as he put him arm gently on her shoulder.
‘Tunde is in hospital,’ she said to him, as she dabbed her eyes with the tissue.

Oh, he said to himself as he took in a deep breath.

The sentence stopped him in his tracks, just when he thought she was out of that man’s clutches. Here she was crying over him.
He took a deep breath and used that opportunity to gather his thoughts.

‘Oh, I am sorry to hear that Enitan. What’s wrong with him?’ Dele asked, he really wanted to add some empathy into his voice but he couldn’t.

I hope it is something serious, he thought to himself. Even though Enitan had not told him everything; his friends in Lagos had furnished him with all the gossip and news about what Tunde had been up to, which had led to Enitan leaving him.

He noticed a slight hesitation on her part.

‘He had a heart attack.’ She said, as she placed the tissue on her eyes.
She burst into tears.

‘The doctors said he might not survive it as he was under a lot of stress and was in the process of receiving treatment for something else.’

‘They said he had complained of feeling tired and they were running tests,’ she sniffed.

She got up from the chair and went over to another part of the room and sat on a chair away from Dele. He now realised without a doubt that she wanted to put some space between them.

Sh!t, he thought.

There was a faraway look on her face.

‘The kids don’t want to go and see him.’ She said finally after a long pause.

Ah, Dele sighed to himself maybe that was why she was upset.

‘Give them time they will change their minds,’ he said.

‘Kids will always be kids, but they still do the right thing in the end.’ He said as he watched her.

‘You mentioned that he was being treated for something else, what is wrong with him?’ Dele asked.

‘Pardon, my manners Dele.’ Enitan said as she got out of her chair.

‘Can I get you a drink?’ She asked.
