God knows tomorrow 

Episode 15

***INTERMISSION***

          Life was meant to be challenging for these two friends but it seems like each step is a piece of cake. Mide (Short for Ayomide) and Gloria had been friends for twenty-five years and each moment spent together was exactly like the first time they met, Lived in the same neighborhood, went to the same Secondary school and University. Gloria was always the serious and ambitious one while Mide had great sense of humour included with unexplainable luck. Life treated them well, both building their various empires which were well known and flourishing. Also married the best friends who owns a great Organization. Today is Mide's birthday, so bestie tradition are to be in place, they are almost like an heavenly made twin...

**knock on the door**

"Yes, come in" Mide answered 

"Happy Birthday dear, I hope you are ready for the day?" Gloria asked

"Sure, I have made all arrangements or you have plan B?" 

"No, let's get going, we are taking my car" Gloria declared 

"It's alright, Ralph will meet us there" Mide mentioned 

"You and this your Husband, I would have been jealous but none can replace my love"

"You have started again, you better call him before he comes late again" Mide replied 

   They started laughing and left the house.

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

Samuel was sitting in his living room, he was so focused on the movie he was  watching when his phone brought him back to reality. 

"Hey Man"

"What's up? Are you meeting us there or you are coming late again" Ralph asked

"I don't even know and I can't say No to Gloria" Samuel replied 

"Why? What happened?" 

"I am kind of tired, I got home late from work yesterday and I can't really get my head around these new contract" Samuel lamented 

"Okay! Since we are collaborating on this contract, why don't we go with the ladies and sort the contract over a drink later after. Also I have great news" Ralph suggested 

"Hmmm, great news! It must be a present thing for me then. See you soon" Samuel replied and dropped the call

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

The day has been an interesting day so far for Mide, moving from one place to another, After all it's her birthday it should be fun. Gloria noticed her friend was extra joyous but she could not place the reason nor get her to say why...

"Mide, you seems extra joyful today, are you sure there is nothing behind it" Gloria asked

"Smiles, I don't know ooo. Why don't we check out the cinema before going home? "

"Well, it's your day so enjoy it to the fullest" Gloria stated 

"Hello ladies" Samuel and Ralph echoed 

    It seems they both found their everlasting partners, there was a silent moment of hugging and kissing in the mall then Ralph broken the silence...

 "I am proud to announce to you that my wife is two months pregnant" Ralph declared. Gloria couldn't hold back when she rushed to her friend and hug her tight while Samuel shakes Sam...

"Congrats Bro, I never saw this coming" Samuel said smiling 

"We actually thought it was just a slight sickness but it turned out to be mini Ralph"  Ralph replied jokingly 

"I only wish Gloria and I were always too tired most times after our day work, else we would be having a twin pregnancy" Samuel Replied sounding optimistic

"So you had given my friend another load without my permission ahbi?" Gloria accused Ralph jokingly

"We wanted the husband to your coming daughter to be older, that's why" Ralph replied while Samuel and Mide  burst into laughter 

    It was such a fulfilled day, after entering the cinema twice to watch two different movies, they decided to call it a day. Mide and Gloria went back in Gloria's car because they wanted to pick up a matching dress at the boutique besides Mide's office as the final step of their tradition while Samuel and Ralph went back to Samuel's house to finalize their joint contract. It wasn't long that the ladies left the boutique when their car tyre went flat and they had to drop to quickly change it before it goes worse but before they knew what was happening seven to eight masked guys surrounded them and forcefully drag them into their tinted bus then drove away leaving Gloria's  car behind. It was a disturbing and scary moments as Gloria and Mide kept shouting to no avail until they were both knocked out and tied together.

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

     Eleven minutes past ten, Ralph became restless and bothered, Their wives haven't call them neither gotten home. Samuel kept assuring him that they might have got stuck in traffic with their battery flat or something else was holding them back. By fifteen minutes to eleven, Samuel wasn't able to endure it himself, he started making calls to all the expected places to confirm their location. After several minutes of calling and waiting, they decided to go look for them. They reported at the police station, visited all the places they could have been or reported to, even checked back at the mall. Neither of them could sleep, they kept searching and calling but all was to no avail. As it was getting close to midnight, that was when they got the text...
 
       ***I have you wives, it wasn't what I planned if you had learn to be contented with what you had. Drop the Ministry's contract or lose them***

Samuel debunked the text saying it's a scam but Ralph wanted to end the contract and free their wives.

 To be continued...

What do you think would happen? 
Two friends reasoned differently.
How is this connected to Akanni and Athira?

Episode 16

    After several minutes of arguing over what to do next, the private number texted them again following with a threatening  call. Then it was left for them to decide.

"Let's go for the contract, I believe it is just a scam" Samuel stated

"How could you decide so easily, we are talking about our wives here. Remember Mide is pregnant" Ralph shouted

"Am sorry, I was lost confused for a moment there"

"So what do we do next?" Ralph requested looking for answers on Samuel's face
 
"Okay, let's drop the contract and wait for the person to call back since it's an unknown number" Samuel replied 

"I know that we should inform the police but this contract had been mysterious right from the start, we don't want to destroy everything we have because of one contract. Though we have had threats in past but we were still single then " Ralph stated

"I understand, that's why I couldn't get my head around it. It seems faulted right from the source, Let me call to stop the bank involvement and money transfers

     Samuel placed a call through to the ministry to inform then that they wouldn't be able to pull through with the contract then made necessary arrangements till it was finally cancelled and to be transferred to another organization. After dropping the call; they both waited to hear from the unknown contact again.‎ Waiting for the call seems to be taking forever, They became restless and disturb over whether they have been scam or if they are willing to return their wives. Just when Ralph decided they should take it to the police station,  the private number texted them...

   *** I am impressed by your courages and for that, I will fulfill my promise. Come for your wives at Old General roundabout after taiwo road ilorin, Kwara State. Don't be late***

   After reading the text, it was like they were injection with a speed wave as they ran to Ralph's car downstairs and speed to the location. As soon as they got there, Mide and Gloria were already being dropped there, crying and shivering. Samuel and Ralph were so bitter but happy that they were found healthy and wound free.

****Five Years Later****

"Why don't we take Athira along with us" Gloria suggested while dressing Athira who was a year old

"Sure, I mean Victor would be there to watch over her" Samuel replied. Just then a call came in...

"What! Accident?"

"Where? How?"

"Which Hospital?, please we would be there as soon as possible. Thank you" Samuel replied as tears rolls down his cheek

"Honey, What happened? " Gloria requested as tears was already forming in her eyes, her husband has never shed tears in her presence before 

"Ralph and Mide were involved in a ghastly accident, we need to go now" Samuel replied weakly 

" Jesus Christ!!!" Gloria shouted but the shocked was too much for her, Mide was like her own sister. Then she fainted

   Samuel rushed towards her, caught her in time then took her to the hospital, in which it was the same hospital that Ralph and Mide were being attended to. After several hours of panting and praying, Samuel got the new from the Doctor...

"Mr Duke(Samuel), Am sorry to inform you that we lost Mr Ajayi but we were able to treat all internal and external bleeding of Mrs Ajayi though she is now in a coma" Doctor explained 

"Where is she now?" Samuel asked weakly as tears kept rolling down his cheek, he couldn't handle the truth about his friend's death

"She is being transferred to ward 2A right now" Doctor replied 

"Thank you Doctor, But did you notice any boy of about four years old, he was suppose to be with them" 

"No, they only brought the husband and wife" Doctor replied 
     
       Samuel thanked the doctor once more then left to see his wife who had woken up, he broke the news to her. Gloria was broken, a bigger part of her had been taken from her.

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

     Few weeks passed, Gloria kept looking for Victor while taking care of Mide who was in a coma. It was such a difficult experience for her to process, she is always watching her friend battling for her life on the hospital bed then She vow to find Mide's son whatever the cost.

****PRESENT DAY****

"So Akanni, your real name is Victor and your are Mide's son. I have been trailing every crumbs I could find till I finally got where you were adopted to. I got your blood tested and it was confirmed, that's why I have been reaching out to your Foster Father because I don't want to jump into your life like that but he gave me no choice when he started ignoring my calls. Also your mom is in a special Healing hospital in the U.K, she should be back by next week" Mrs Duke explained while holding unto Akanni's hands.
‎

"I am sorry ma, I understand that everything might have been  so tough on you. I am eternally grateful" Akanni replied with tears already all over his face.
‎

"Don't worry Son, you are worth more than anything because your  Mom was everything in my Life" Mrs Replied 

‎
     Without realizing that Athira has been standing by the door since with Ajoke, they rushed towards both Mrs Duke and Akanni and hugged them.
‎

To be continued...
‎

Will Athira and Akanni get together?
How would it be when he finally meet his real mom?

Episode 17

       Few days passed, Mrs Duke had been discharged and Akanni's Father was placed on support because he could no longer control his condition. This was a hard period for Akanni's Foster Family, all they could do was pray and enjoy their limited time with Mr. Alani. During this period Akanni had to stay by them, he owe everything he had become to them. Bad omen seems to be lurking around till Akanni received a call...

"Hello"

"Good Afternoon, please I hope I am unto Mr Akanni? " A female voice  asked

"Yes, I hope there isn't any problem?" Akanni asked in fear because all he could think of was his unstable Dad

"Not At all Sir, I am Mercy from Shaamill Holdings. I am calling to inform about your application for a job position in our company, you are to resume on Monday. Also an email has been forwarded to your Mail, it consists of all the necessary informations. Congratulations and welcome to Shaamill Holdings." 

"Thank you so much Ma, I will check my inbox immediately' Akanni replied fast

   This was a great light compare to all the darkness that has been compelling him lately, he quickly placed a call through to his mom and sister...

"Hell‎o Son"

"Mom, guess what" Akanni replied feeling optimistic 

"You should know that I am not good at guessing"

"Try Mom" Akanni persist 

"You finally get together with Athira?" Mrs Alani proposed 

"No Mom, I don't know about that though. Try again"

"Your father is being discharged?"

"No Mom, last chance" Akanni said

"Please don't kill me with suspense, tell me already" Mrs Alani gave up

"Okay Mom, I got the job" Akanni finally said

"Wow! I knew you will get it, congratulations Son"

"Thanks Mom, I need to get the necessary things ready. Bye Mom"

"Bye" Mrs Alani responded the drop the call

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

       "It's been a while" Da'sean thought to himself, he has been deliberating on what to do next about Athira. Every time he called, she seems to be unavailable or rather avoiding him. He has been chasing after her for long enough, it's time for him to act. He thought over what he needed to do but it seems ‎harder than he thought, Demi was easy so he couldn't propose the same idea. After several hours of thinking, he concluded on involving one of his friends who knows one thing or two about women...

**Phone rings**

"Hello"

"How have you been brother?" Da'sean said

"I have been fine, how about you?"

"Am okay, do you know who this is?" Da'sean requested 

"Not really, but the voice sounds familiar"

"This is Da'sean, I am unto Dre'Bluez right?" Da'sean asked

"Yes, long time Man. This one that you remember me today, hope all is well?" Dre'Bluez asked 

"Not really bro,I actually need your help on something"

"Okay Man, if it's in my capability"

"Cool,  I am kinda stuck with this girl. I have been chasing her for years now but she remain adamant and I don't want to lose her to anyone. I know you are an expert on cases like this" Da'sean explained 

"Okay, how about we set a meeting and talk this through?" Dre'Bluez proposed 

"Sure Man, I see you at GQ by 5pm. Thanks"

"You are welcome"

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

      It's been days since Athira saw Akanni but they have been communicating on phone, he had call her earlier to inform her about the good news. She felt he had been avoiding her and she couldn't do anything about it, she does most of the calling. "He can't be feeling different right?" she thought to herself...

"Athira! Athira! Athira!" Tomisin shouted, she has been calling her for almost five minutes without response 

"Yes" Athira responded nonchalantly 

"Since you can't even face him to tell him about your feelings, you want to kill yourself by thinking all day right?" Tomisin asked 

"It isn't like that, I really need to know if he feels the same way. This is my first time of being in love with someone and I don't want to get hurt" Athira explained 

"If you need to know, then you have to act now before it's too late.

"Okay, I will meet him tomorrow after work.

To be continued...


Do you think Akanni feels the same way?
Will Da'sean gets Athira?

Episode 18

     Da'sean got to GQ by 4pm, he couldn't wait till 5pm. Although it wasn't the arranged time he tried calling Dre'Bluez about his whereabout but fortunately, he met Dre'Bluez chilling alone there...

"Dre!" Da'sean called out

"What's up Sean?" 

"Am good, I was just about to call you" 

"I left home earlier because I had to meet with someone here, she just left couples of minutes ago" Dre explained 

"Since we are here then, I guess it's a good thing"

"What should they offer you?" Dre requested 

"Why don't we get down to the deal, I will do that after"

"That's not right, let them give you something. You know it doesn't speak well for our table to be empty" Dre insisted 

"Okay, Barman! " Da'sean Called

"Sir!"  Barman

"Give us one bottle of Don perion and two bottle water" Da'sean requested

"Okay Sir"

"So do I know this girl?" Dre asked

"No, it has been a tug of war between us since secondary school days, I really love her and I have been trying to get her to acknowledge me as her boyfriend at least but she kept  adamant. Also I have noticing her with one guy like that, I don't want to lose her to him. I meant I can give anything to have her" Da'sean lamented 

"Wow, Sean! Seriously, you have messed up big time. You have been going through this and you never inform me at all" Dre'Bluez said then sip his drink

"It isn't like that, I actually thought that she loves me too, maybe that she is just pretending and making me suffer to get her 'like playing hard to get'." Da'sean explained 

"It's alright man, it's never too late. I have a plan but we need to verify what she really think first, you will go to her tomorrow with a surprise, something that you know she would like. Try to engage her differently, once she feels comfortable, pour out how you truly feels and listen to what she has to say" Dre'Bluez explained then whisper something into Da'sean's ears"

" **Laughs** it won't reach that level, but man you are wicked ooo" Da'sean replied 

" **Laughs wickedly** Whatever man must do, man must do bro" Dre'Bluez gulp a glass full of whiskey while Da'sean giggle


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

        First day at work for everyone always seems like trouble because it is neither good nor bad. Akanni has been working since he resumed that morning, as soon as he came in for the job he was just tutored for just 10 minutes on what to do and how to go about it. General manager work might seems commanding but it's different here, most things are teamwork oriented. Although he wasn't surprise nor as the work been difficult, he blended in well. Everything seems peaceful until his boss came to his office...

"Hello, I finally meet the brilliant interviewee" Beatrice mention as she walks in

"Good morning" Akanni said wondering who she is and she noticed it too.

"Good morning; I am Beatrice, the Managing Director" Beatrice stated acting a little fierce.

"Oh! How are you doing ma?" Akanni replied already on his feet, He was caught off guard because he was expecting a male boss.

"You don't have to worry about the ma, just call me Beatrice, I love an interactive work environment." Noami responded already leaving his office then turns back.

"Okay ma, I,,I meant Beatrice" Akanni stammer

"Come over to my office, I need us to work together on a new contract with A & D group. Also your official car should be downstairs already" Beatrice declared and left his office.

This is way too good,Akanni kept thanking God and dancing around his office, until it occur to him that he needs to be in Beatrice's office. Akanni spend most of his work hours working with Beatrice on the new project, it was a little uncomfortable for him because Beatrice was all over him...

"That will be all for today" Beatrice declared a minutes after six in the evening which is already past work hours.

Everyone left the office leaving Akanni with Beatrice...

"Since we would be working on team vacation to Lagos for the site survey, who will be representing A & D group? Akanni asked.

"I don't know yet, anyway,I already told my driver to bring my car home so you will be driving us to A & B group" Beatrice responded

"Alright" he wanted to tell her that he knew Athira but he decided against it.

"You seems worried, I know the daughter of the owner who is currently the Managing Director so let your mind be at peace." Beatrice said

"Anyway, thanks for the car ma.I,,I meant Beatrice"

"You earned it when you got the job,but you are welcome. Let's get going already" Beatrice replied

"Sure, i'll just pick up my keys" Akanni said and left her office

"He is handsome, brilliant and polite. This is everything I want in a man, I must have him" Beatrice thought to herself.

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

*ping**ping*ping* Athira's intercom rings

*beep*

"Hello Shalom"

"Ma, Mr Sean is here to see you" Shalom replied

"No problem, let him in" Athira responded

Though Athira wasn't expecting Da'sean, he had been so annoying for days.She decided to let it slide even if she wanted to avoid him again, it's too late.

*seconds later*

Da'sean entered with a puppy German shepherd dog...

"I know that I have been so annoying for days now, but I here to apologize with this peace offering" Da'sean said.

"It's alright Sean, Awww! he is cute. I love him, thanks"

"I know it can't replace your previous dog but I hope you can treat him better too" Da'sean replied

"Sure, I will. But wait Sean, I feel like there is more to this" Athira asked, just then Da'sean went on his knees

"Athira Duke, I have been in love with you for a long time and I know I have been so annoying along the line too but I hope you would hear my plea today, please marry me" Da'sean declared.

Will Athira accept him?
What will happen to Akanni?

Episode 19

At this point Athira was stuck, she couldn't reject Da'sean knowing him to be easily anger. She doesn't love him neither does she want to marry him, she prays for a miracle...

"But Sean, we are not dating neither are we a couple to talking of getting married. " she tried to stall the real question.

"I understand that we ain't dating but we have known each other for over a decade now and I love you, at least we can still court for few months before the wedding" Da'sean explained.

"But...I..."

"You don't need to think about it because we are making the right decision, will you marry me Athira?" Da'sean cuts in.

Athira became dumbfounded, she couldn't help it but pray for a miracle. Just then Beatrice and Akanni came in, while Da'sean was still on his knees...

"Wow,I never knew you were this serious about her Sean" Beatrice jumped in.

"Stay out of this sister. Athira, will you marry me?" Da'sean asked Athira for the third time. Akanni was stiff for a moment, he couldn't fathom Da'sean being Beatrice's brother and Da'sean proposing to Athira...

"Sean,I know I should have told you earlier but it seems now is the right time. Akanni and I are couple already and we are planning to get married soon, am sorry sean" Athira replied then move closer to Akanni and kissed him.

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

Why would she do that?
Did she faked it?
I love her but did she faked it?
I am competing with my boss's brother.
Akanni kept pondering over these questions in his mind but no answer seems appealing to him. Beatrice noticed this...

"I hope you are alright, Akanni?" Beatrice asked looking concern

"Yes, I am. Thanks" Akanni replied quietly

"Why didn't you tell me that you knew Athira?"

"I never thought it was necessary since it was on business mindset" Akanni replied

"I hope so, Are you really serious about her because you don't seems really into her yesterday"

"I am not sure about what you mean but am sensing something about your questions, Are you fighting for your brother?" Akanni asked

"Not at all, he is an adult who can handle his own problems" Beatrice replied

"I need to go home early today since I will be representing us at the survey. I have few things more to pack"

"Okay, would you do me a favor then?" Beatrice asked looking concern

"Anything for my boss"Akanni replied smiling

"Close your eyes" Beatrice requested

Beatrice move closer to him then kiss him, Akanni quickly pull himself away.Beatrice laughed and left him in the conference room but not without leaving a note in his pocket which says "I love you".

***********************†*****************†***************

"This is unbearable, I have always been there for her, why would she choose him over me?" Da'sean thought to himself after gulping little wine from the bottle. It hasn't been easy for him since he left Athira's office, he tried call her severally but she kept ignoring his calls. He never thought he would be rejected, this makes him more furious at Akanni.
"Plan B has to be put in place" Sean said to himself then pick up his phone and dailed Dre'bluez.

*rings*

"Hello Sean"

"How are you Dre?" Da'sean replied weakly

"Hey man, what's wrong? Don't tell me you got rejected?" Dre tease me

"Is it that obviously man?"

"I already knew it might happen like that, but don't worry I already made preparations for plan b" Dre assured him while laughing

"Thanks man, I will check on you tomorrow"

"Don't worry man, everything will be in place before you know it" Dre replied and hang up.

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

Akanni got home earlier as planned, he felt bothered by what Athira did but he couldn't get himself to pick her calls neither reply her messages.he has a lot of questions going through his mind...

"I have to meet my real mom, I still need to balance in between families, my dad is just getting better, at least for nw. My boss claim to love me and the person I love is playing with my feelings, how do I get over all this?" Akanni said out loud looking frustrated then fell on his bed. "Am tired" he muttered

"Don't be tired, just follow your heart" A joke and Tomisin echoed

"How long have you two been there?" Akanni asked surprised

"Quite a while" they said while laughing

"I know it's been a crazy year for everyone especially you, my ever annoying but coolest brother isn't my real brother. It bothers me too but am happy for you" Ajoke explained

"Even if I haven't known you for long, I believe in you and I know you can get through all this stronger. Anyway Athira loves you alot, please try and talk to her" Tomisin assured him

"Hmm, I thought I have escape my love expert sister by being busy but I got two instead. Am only going for a week though, i will talk to her then" Akanni joked and hug them. They gist for a while before Akanni left for the trip.

It wasn't a stressful trip since it was by flight, Akanni love the scene, the atmosphere. Everything felt new to him until he saw Beatrice and Athira waiting for him at the arrival checkpoint...

Will he survive this one week trip?
Battle of love!!!

Episode 20

The past three days has been work filled, from one meeting to another, less sleep and more work. Akanni loved it since it has been keeping him from having any personal conversation with either ladies although Beatrice has been all over him, but working with them was interesting and perfect because both ladies were brilliant at what they do.

It’s morning again…

**knock**
“Arrggghhh!! Who is there?” Beatrice grunts

“it's Akanni” he replied while Beatrice stood up, went to the door and unlock it.

“Good morning Boss” Akanni said as he walk into her room. “something wrong?”

“nothing really, do we have any meeting today? And stop with that boss thing” Beatrice corrected

“well, we need to meet the contractor and check the site once more. That completes our mission in Lagos with one free day since we are taking off on saturday” Akanni replied and stress the complete part

“Finally, I was growing impatient already. I should be ready in 20minutes, go and check on Athira” Beatrice responded happily

“She is already downstairs, I saw her earlier”

“hmmmm, I guess you visited her first. I hope you didn’t sleep there?” Beatrice said jealously

“*Smiles* I saw her downstairs when I was ordering your breakfast, it should be ready by now”

“you don’t have to sound defensive, you are dating her right”Beatrice move closer to Akanni and kissed him but he quickly drift away, immediately leaving the room.

"I am having you to myself tomorrow, I can't wait" Beatrice muttered to herself while laughing mischievously


**praying silently**

“in Jesus name, Amen” Athira ended the prayer and check her time, It’s 6am. She had woke up earlier than usual. The thought of how to get Akanni to have a sit down with her had been on her mind since they arrived, “does he feel the same way she does? “ she thought within herself.

“well, I still have to give it a try first”

**ring**ring**her phone beeps”Tominsin”

“Hello” Athira said

“Good morning Sis, I hope you had a great night? “ Tomisin asked

“Yes, I did. I hope this isn’t what am thinking “

“Common Athira, you can’t even ask about my night. I will be blunt anyway, did you talk to him yet? “ Tomisin asked

“I will sort it tomorrow, we have been occupied with our work schedules. It’s a total free day tomorrow “Athira explained.

“Okay Sis, make me proud. Bye”

**line dropped**

The rest of the day was uneventful, Athira left the site around 3pm. She got to the hotel and met Beatrice struggling with her phone and sweating profusely…

“Hey Beatrice, are you alright? “ Athira asked looking really concerned

“Oh, thank God you are here. We were… ambush.. on our.. way back, they took him” Beatrice explained with her eyes all teary

“What They took who? “

“Akanni…Aka..nni, they took him, he was shot while trying to fight them off” Beatrice replied

“who are they? Where? How?” Athira requested with tears already dropping off her eyes.

“I called the police, they are on their way”Beatrice finally responded.

**phone rings** Athira picked up

“Hello Tomi, what is it this time? ” Athira asked angrily

“Are you always angry these days, well mom said she has been trying to reach you. Guess what?” Tomisin replied

“I don’t have time for this, what is it? “ Athira replied impatiently

“Akanni's mom is back and she is really requesting to see him, just allow him to leave tomorrow instead of Saturday”

“What??” Athira shouted

“any problem sis? You can't be selfish with him now” Tomisin said jokingly but Athira dropped the call. By then the police had arrived, she took off with them.

Final Episode

It’s been two weeks since Akanni had been kidnapped, the police kept looking and turning places all over but to no avail. Mrs Duke couldn’t explain to Mide about her missing son, he was said to be caught up in business trip that causes his delay. Mide felt something was wrong but she wouldn’t doubt her friend. Athira has been crying and checking every corner she could in order to find Aakanni, She relocated to one of their houses in Lagos hoping to bump into him one day while Beatrice on the other hand returned to Ilorin but she kept in contact with Athira for any special update. Da’sean heard about everything from Naomi, he was glad it happened but after watching Athira torture herself for days, he option to help by hiring a private investigator in lagos.

After several torture for weeks, Akanni had lost a lot of blood, he kept struggling as he was tied to a piller in a dark room. The scent of the room smells familiar but he couldn’t place who it was. He could hear voices outside which is coming closer…

“Why would you call the police if you don’t want to get caught? “ A black chubby guy asked

“Gator , I have to make it look real like am really concern about his disappearance, someone might suspect me” Dre’bluez explained

“If I may asked you, why are you doing this? I thought Da’sean just wanted to blackmail him to leave Athira” Gator express his curiosity because Da’sean back off the deal claiming not wanting to get his hands dirty.

“Well, if you really want to know, that idiot parents and included with Athira's parents destroyed my family when I was in secondary school. My father stake all our remaining properties for one government contract but the competing company was theirs, my father begged them to let go of it for his company due to his company’s money issues. It would help him get back up, instead of yeilding they went ahead with the contract and won over my father, it drove my father mad that he maltreated my mom and I. He cause the accident of Akanni’s parents which killed them, unfortunately for my father this idiot was missing after then, he wanted to kill everyone of them. Unaware that one of his boys snitched on him, my father was killed in a raid to arrest him since then I vow to find him and destroy the rest of their families, though I already killed that snitch and his whole family and i caused mrs Duke's accident which she lucky survived" Dre'bluez explained in details to gator how he planned to execute the rest of Akanni’s family.

“Boss, isn’t his parent enough payment for it? “ Gator questioned while looking at Akanni with pity

“**laughs** At all, they took my future from me, so they deserve that much”

“Okay boss” Gator felt bad about the whole situation but he couldn’t go against his boss “so how did you find him? “ Gator question further

“Da'sean brought my price possession unknown to him who I was” Dre’bluez replied laughing

Akanni kept pondering why someone would go to such length for a unreasonable cause, the story Dre’bluez shared in his presence made him cried even more, he realize that his parents died for nothing than a mere selfish act of a lunatic. He struggle with the rope with all his strength and got loose, he left the room since the doors weren’t lock, it was easy moving around the house until he could hear Dre’bluez voice. He was on a phone…

“I had an important business here in Abuja, I should be back by weekend.” He replied and hang up

“Boss, you are something else, we are here in your house inside this same Lagos but it turned to Abuja overnight *I have an important business here in Abuja* “ Gator mimick him

“let’s get going, I can’t be late to my girlfriend’s party. Tell the boys to stay alert though, that Akanni isn’t an Ajebo(spoilt kid) “

“Sure Boss” Gator answered and left with him.

Akanni ran back to the room he was locked in, took the rope and fake sleep. Dre’bluez checked on him to be sure before leaving. As soon he left, Akanni search the whole house until he found a phone in Gator's room, he quickly dailed Ajoke number…

“Hello sis”

“Hello brother “ Ajoke shouted

“Stop shouting and listen to me carefully, I need you to meet with Tomisin and Athira and explain somethings to them on how to free me from where I am right now. I can’t escape, I need those who took me to be caught, I already text you all the plans and address. Please sister make no mistakes, my life is in your hands. Tell none except the people I told you to meet, I love you. Bye” Akanni explained as quick as he could before ending the call. He deleted the call history and messages sent by him then returned to his room.


Few days later….

Dre’bluez was preparing to go out, he keep staring at himself in the mirror and laughing wickedly

“Boss, you have a call” Gator handed Dre’bluez his phone

“ Hello Sean… I didn’t forget you, am already on my way, just wait for me at the bar” Dre’bluez dropped his phone then check himself again in the mirror before making move to open the door. “make sure you watch him closely since he has been proving smart these day” He said then left.

“how could he untied his rope but still stayed? He could have escaped, I wonder whether he love all the tortures. Does he love iron, electric shock, different cuts on him? He must be more stupid than I thought” Gator talked to himself while gulping a bottle of alcohol.

Few hours later….

Gunshots was heard from outside, Gator ran outside only to find all their men died and Dre’bluez chain by the police accompanied by Athira, Tomisin, Da’sean, Beatrice and Ajoke. He tried to shoot but he was hot by a policeman who was hiding in the flower unware to him. Ajoke and others ran into the building as the police scanned the whole building, Athira found him first, she cried when she saw him, he was tied to a chair and he was dripping in his own blood. All she could do was shake and weep weakly, Ajoke rushed pass her and untie him…

“Gently brother, try walking slow” Ajoke advice after untying him

“Thanks sis, how is mom and dad? “ Akanni asked weakly almost fainting but Da’sean caught him in time

Two(2) years later…

"Well well well, here comes the groom " Da'sean teased Akanni

"Oh man,two months isn't that far off again, just a little patience. Beatrice, how are you? " Akanni replied

"Am fine Boyfriend, how are your mom? Am sorry about your dad " Beatrice hugged him.

"It's okay, we all made peace with that already. Well, My moms went shopping with Athira and Ajoke and I am left to deal with Tomisin" Akanni replied and wink at Tomisin who just joined them in the living room. "Any update on Dre'bluez? " Akanni asked

"He was found guilty of all charges and the judge condemn him to death by hanging, it's kind of sad though. I never expect such from him" Da'sean replied remembering how he could have been involved...

**Fast Forward**
