AFAM
The crew from Enugu were done with their assignment and I was to do the final inspection before making the necessary transactions.
Truth be told I miss Oba. Though I call him once in a while to come pick me up when I need him but I figured out I'm giving the young man a whole lot of stress because he had to rush down to pick Crystal when I'm through with him.
With the traffic and all, I decided to call my PA in Enugu, I think it's high time he resume his work. I told him to come in one of my cars with my personal driver.

Two days later they were in Lagos already, that's one of the qualities I like about my PA. He takes to instructions. I met them at the hotel where they lodged and had a long talk with them.
"No one, I mean no one except you two knew my where about. You must not disclose my location to anyone. Not even my children and their mother. If anyone gets to know then be ready to answer to me. Have I made myself clear?"
"Yes sir" They both chorused.
I need to keep them in Lagos just for a few days till the deal is sealed.
The next day, my PA and I went with the driver to check out the prospective land. Luckily, my driver knows Lagos routes very well. We met with the real estate management at the proposed site and I love what I saw. The crew who came from Enugu did a fantastic job. The site was very close to the main express. We later went with the real estate agent to seal the deal.
I have a trusted construction company whom I've worked with before. So the next day we went to the construction company. We had a meeting with them and we discussed at length on what and what we want the construction to look like. They assured me they'll be through in six months.

That reminds me. I changed my mind. We will still continue to run the Enugu branch while we have another in Lagos. There's are competent hands that can manage the Enugu company while I take charge of Lagos. We ended the meeting late. The next day my PA and driver returned to Enugu by flight. Leaving the car behind. I became when my own Chauffeur. At least for now till Oba helped me get a permanent driver here in Lagos.

BEATRICE
After all my search for my husband proved abortive. I decided to stalk him. I can't believe he took my children sample for a DNA test without my consent. One of them noticed their hair brushes was missing they later found it where he dumbed them. I knew straight away of what he was up to. That's not my problem since I'm sure the children are his.

I decided to use his PA as I noticed he wasn't around for a while, I sensed he was with my husband. I tried to manipulate him but still he didn't talk. He claimed he didn't know his where about. I met with his personal driver, he didn't talk at first because be said it will cost him is job but when I wrote him a check of #1M he started talking. At last I got a location. Including the name of the hotel he's staying. He even told me about the new company he wants to start in Lagos.

I wanted to do a clean job, so I decided not to involve my sons, they are so daft and I won't allow them ruin my plans.

I needed someone in Lagos who will help me stalk Afam but I have nobody. The only place I know in Lagos is Muritala Mohammed airport. I decided to go back to Afam's personal driver at least he collected #1M. He has already resigned out of fear of what Afam would do to him if he finds out he betrayed him.

We discussed and after cajoling him he decided to help me get someone in Lagos who will do the stalking. He called the person and he said the least he could collect is #300,000. I agreed to pay the money. He gave me the guy’s phone number and account number.

I called the Lagos guy when I got home and told him to report all details of Afam's movements to me on a daily basis. I also hinted him an Amara and her Child. I told him to let me know if he sees any woman with him. I know Afam is not in Lagos because of the new company, there's something more to it.

CRYSTAL
Silver now has her own car, thanks to her cousin, Soma. So she’s on her own now. Three weeks after Oba started driving me, I've got to know much about him. We use to talk all through the drive home especially when we are struck in traffic. Infact I've stopped sitting at the back sit. I now sit in the front with him.
I just got to know while my Dad likes him, he's just so intelligent. He's a good friend and listener. And a complete gentle man.

A month later, I had an appointment with my orthopedic so I didn't go to work that very day.
Oba took me to the hospital. I took an x-ray and the doctor checked it. He said my fracture is healing and the cast will be removed in another two weeks.

We left the hospital and I told him to take me to a restaurant close to the hospital, I was famished. We had lunch, and stayed after lunch and got talking.
He cracked a joke that really crack me up. I was still laughing hard when I heard my phone ringing.
"Soma!" I rolled my eyes. I picked the call. He asked after my health, mum and work. He then changed the topic I don't want to hear. He's still bent on us coming back together. I told him I'm not changing my mind because I don't think I feel a thing for him again. After the long sermon he finally ended the call.
"Do you have issues with your boyfriend? Oba asked.
"What boyfriend? I answer his question with a question like a typical Nigeria.
"Soma of course, I know you two are dating. He's always at your place"
"So you don't see the rest of my male friends at my place right, especially Zite"
"I know you and Zite are close but I know you are dating unlike Soma, it's all written all over his face that he's the guy”
"Soma is my ex boyfriend Oba, and he wants us back together and I said NO!"
"What's the reason behind the break up?"


_____________Toyin Taiwo
"Long story!" I rolled my eyes.
"I'm listening, we have all day. You are not going to the office today"
I never believe I could open up to Oba easily. It took my friends years to get the truth out of me. I can't believe I told a guy I just met few months ago my story
Although I shed few tears when telling him especially the miscarriage part. Something I dare not tell the woman that birthed me.
"Crystal put yourself together, you don't have to dwell on the past. You have to let go completely. He took my face towel and dab my face.
"Thanks" I forced a little smile.
"There are two things you have to differentiate Crystal"
"What things?"
"Are you punishing him for what happened to you or have you falling completely out of love with him. You have to know and separate this two things" he stated.
"Hmm! I see a lot of sense in what you just said. At first it was resentment. But now I no longer resent him" I paused.
"Go on.....
"I'm no longer in love with him. I even tried at first to give it another trial but I no longer feel any butterfly in my tommy. If you know what I mean"
"I think your resentment killed the feeling"
"Probably"
"Are you sure you’ve moved on?"
"Sure, since 1730" I said and we both laughed out loud. "On a serious note, I'm happy especially the joy of having my father did not even allow me think about dating"
"You know a father's love and your man's love is two different things"
"Of course, I know and I'm ready to give love another chance when the right man shows up"
"Good! High five!" He said and I gave him a high five.
"That's the spirit" he said. I thanked him for the little therapy section we had. Some minutes later we left the restaurant and he took me home.
