Martha walked briskly into the market, she kept on looking up to the sky as thick dark clouds were starting to form. She hugged herself so as to stop the chily breeze from making her cold. Her condition had gone worse ever since oga Ade officially threw her out of his house, she had been putting up with Sule, oga Ade's gatekeeper without his knowledge and the stupid hausa man had been constantly satisfying himself with her every night despite seeing her already bulging stomach. She hissed, she was always thankful whenever he sneakily open the gate for her so as not to alert their Boss. However he changed some nights later as he began demanding money for rent or sex in place of money. on some cold nights she always cried as he would have heavily taken the local herb called "burantashi" and he would constantly thurst his "long cane" with no mercy. She rubbed her stomach, she only pitied the poor foetus cause as far as she is concerned, she has been a dirty latrine a long time ago. She halted in front of a large building with lots of people shopping in it
"BLESSING STORES ". this was her friend's shop space but the shop was no longer there. She walked around the building for some minutes, she could remember asking her friend when her shop was just getting full with plenty of goods and now the shop has been extended to stores? She shook her head and wanted to confirm if it was really for her friend.

"excuse me ma, what do you need"? She was brought back from her thoughts by a small fair lady she knew it was an attendant cause she wore the same uniform as the cashier. She smiled to herself

"is your madam around"? atleast if blessing really own this place, then she should be able to help her.

"no ma'am, what do you need I will take your message and let her know when she comes back "

" no, don't worry yourself I will sit here and wait for her", she made to sit on a bench as she was stopped by the small attendant.

"no, you can't wait for her, she went on a trip and won't be back until weekend ". blessing is supposed to be her friend, and she's supposed to tell her everything so why is she hiding stuffs from her? well she isn't even sure if she is the owner of the store. She smiled at the small attendant

" well please let me have her number, I am her sister and I really need to see her". The small attendant suddenly smiled and told her to sit.

"actually Madam told us that one of her relative will come to the shop but she doesn't know the way to the house so she wrote the house address on this paper here ", she brought out a paper with an address on it and scribbled down a number on it.

" ohh thank you dear, have really come from far, you can do me well by.... " Martha paused and looked around hoping her cover will not be blown since the small attendant was not wise enough.

".... by getting me two loaves of bread and some fruit juice as well" she said looking around the shop to see what else she could ask for as she didn't want to ask for too much or else she would be caught.

"ah, Madam had asked me to get fast food for you at an eatery and have done that she even gave me some money to give to you for your upkeep. till she gets back from her journey. I will be right back. " she disappeared into the store, while Martha stood up to check round the store. She needed to leave the store before she gets caught, she saw that he thick dark clouds in the sky where already producing some tiny droplets of rain, she hugged herself again.

"here it is ma'am,.. By the way you and madam look look alike o" she smiled and gave Martha a black polythene leather. She muttered a "thank you" to the small attendant and rushed out. She walked out of the market and ran under a building as the rain became heavy. She opened the leather and smiled as she removed a plate of rice and chicken with chilled fruit juice, she checked further and saw something wrapped in a small black leather, she opened it and she shook. It was money, only God knows how long she has seen fresh money last. She counted the crisp wads of naira note, it was #50 thousand naira. She screamed, at least no one would hear her since it was raining. She divided the money and hid some in her bra as she wouldn't want Sule to know she has money when gets home. she was still contemplating on where to hide the remaining money when she heard

"oya! Surrender that money or your life! ".


**********************************************************
Romoke couldn't believe her ears, how could Bola ever think like this? She was perplexed, tears dripped down her eyes. Bola had dragged her out of the house with only towel on her and she had only managed to take her phone with her. Neighbours were already trooping into the compound to check what was happening. an elderly woman was already asking her what happened as her friend was already throwing out her things. Tears poured down her face as she remembered what transpired between them in them earlier.

Bola had already dressed for work and had baded Romoke goodbye. Romoke in turn had proceeded to take her bath in the bathroom and on coming out, she met Emma who had not wasted time in pouncing on her, however his luck ran out when Bola had come back into the room and met him on her but instead of taking sides with her, Bola had termed her a seducer.

"you betrayer, shameless LovePeddler! Husband snatched at least I caught you red handed today! Leave my house!" Bola flung some of her friend's clothes at her which scattered in different directions.

"Bola what have I done to deserve all these? You saw clearly what happened when you came in" she paused to pick some of her clothes.

"look you her a prostitute, a local one at that so please leave. You have overstayed your welcome in to house. Romoke cried, she moved aside as she put a call to one of her friends at the office.

"ashewo! Local tramp like you. You just like snatching everything good from me. Eeeeehhh prostitute, everybody I caught her in bed with my fiance". She clapped her hand vigorously shouting and jumping as she kept on throwing Romoke's things out.

She had only stopped shouting when she heard a familiar masculine voice even Romoke was shocked to her bones, as she wasn't expecting to see him, till she collapsed what she kept on hearing was

"what is going on here"?

Tife101:
Just started reading your piece this afternoon and I must confess you are really talented. Keep it up. The sky is your starting point.

Amen thks

Romoke!!!

"wow, MaMa this is really huge, a million naira Just for me? MaMa tell me whatever you want I will get it done " Theophilus ran his dirty fingers on the figures written on the check. He smiled and thanked God in his mind for giving him a nice body physique. He is 6ft tall, black with extremely broad chest marred with muscles he was quite handsome and a head turner as well. He had met Mrs Sarah Davis when she came to his shop months back to repair her car and that was how he became her favorite sugarboy. He was quite surprised that a clean wealthy woman at that could stoop so low to sleeping with him but he knew why she always clung to him, it was because of his dirty hard fingers. he grinned, now his body and proffession had earned him money as well as relationship from a very wealthy and influential woman. Ever since he met her, he has extended his mechanic shop, bought a cheap apartment in a ghetto area, married a wife, bought a bigger shop for his wife, and now he could even boast of owning a Toyota carina. Life was just going smoothly for him even though his wife doesn't know the source of his income. He adjusted and placed a wet kiss on his Sugar MaMa.

"this is just chicken change sugarboy, and when the time is right I will tell you the service you will render, hm"? She wiped off the lipstick stain on his lips and started her car.

"ok MaMa, you just call on me and like a loyal dog I will always answer". He winked at her and came down from the car.

"alryt, sugarboy keep my cucumber safe and secure we will see by tomorrow " she flashed her teeth and drove off springing dust on him. He dusted his clothes, and carefully folded the check and put in his pocket, now he was going to stock his wife's shop and invest the money he thought now that they are expecting a baby he needed to save, he flagged down a bike "Diamond bank".
********************************************************
" yes I know mom,..... Please take your drugs. don't worry I will come home by weekend, I need to see Dad too". Ade opened his car and dumped his briefcase in it, his dad had informed him about his mother's condition, he had also called her when she was discharged, he shook his head he wondered what was bothering her. He fastened his seat belt almost immediately and stopped like he remembered something. He undid his seat belt and came out of his car.

"Ade please make sure you come home, I also have a pressing matter to discuss with you". He paused, he hoped it was not marriage issue again he dispersed his thoughts as soon as he heard her cough.

"mom are you okay? "

" yes son am okay I just need to rest some more."

"alryt mom, I love you extend my greetings to dad" he hung up and shoved his phone in his pocket.

"sule!." he called his gatekeeper, a hefty man came running from his small house by the gate. He was sure Martha was still in the house and he needed to swing into quick action as it was quite clear he wasn't responsible for her pregnancy.

"yess, oga"

"I want you to make sure that Martha leaves this house!! Have I made myself clear"? He entered into his car and started it.

"yes oga.. I go make sure" he replied and ran to open the gate.

**********************************************************
Bola secretly eyed her friend. She had seen the way her fiance always looked at her and she knew that sooner or later Emma would sleep with her as well and she was not yet ready to leave him cause he is really a big fish, a senator's son for that matter and of course he was also stinking rich and a celebrity as well. She had been secretly crushing on Ade Jacobs and she didn't even mind if he just makes her his baby mama. Even when they were young when his father had visited her father she had led him to her room and stripped herself naked for him to see but rather he had mocked her and told her that her breast were not big enough that they were small groundnut, they were just 14 then. He never paid attention to her even though she was crushing on him. And now he is falling in love with a common village girl she had helped from the village. She frowned her face in irritation as she found herself listening to Romoke' unending chatter of Ade, she signed and what she heard threw her off balance as she kept on coughing.

"so you and Ade almost kissed when he dropped you off yesterday"?

"yes, is there a problem? and why do you sound irritated"? Romoke was bemused she didn't understand her friend. She started packing her files into her bag.

"no, now there is no problem. Am just surprised that he have really caught a big fish". She replace her straight face with a smile. She was jealous, though she never really led Emma she was just using him as a coverup. She needed to act fast before they would finally be into themselves she needed to tear them away. Yes! No one can take Ade away from her. She flashed Romoke a smile has she waved her goodbye.

"bye dear, abeg buy me kilishi o! " it was a good thing that she didn't go to work today she needs to strategies she thought.

He can remember seeing a part of her cloth stained when he went to the kitchen to get some water some months ago. He could recall that she hissed when she realized she was stained with her monthly flow, and she had excused herself from the kitchen. He could still remember that just after one month of mistakingly sleeping with her, there was a day he ordered her to cook pounded yam and she had complain of menstrual cramps that he even had to send his gateman to get her drugs. Ade shifted on the chair as he continued staring at the arsenal match he was watching he was supposed to go to the viewing center as usual to watch the match because it's always boring when you watch it alone with no guyz to shout "ehee!" or " pass the ball now" or with no Guinness in your hand to balance with the match.
He knew he couldn't have gotten the desperate girl pregnant but he knew what to do he was going to scare her first and then check her reaction if she's confident then he would really have to wait till the child is born and do a paternity test. He switched off the television and turned to go to his room when he collided with Martha who was wearing a transparent nightgown. Disgusted by her presence he shifted and turned to go to his room only to be blocked by her.

"whats your problem! " he shouted furiously, Martha shook, scared by his outburst she quickly moved out of his way.

" the doctor said that we should.... be together to aid easy child birth". She concluded rubbing her already stomach. Ade stopped in his tracks and turned to face Her fully, he knew it was time to put her into her right place.

"you bloody LovePeddler.... You better take the pregnancy back to its owner okay!" he eyed her and stared at her to notice her reaction, of course she was shivering she had started bringing out tears. He smiled to himself I should add some more, he shouted again
"I want you out of this house by morning you get!! Desperado!! ". He marched off to his room banging the door.

Martha moved to sit on one of the cushions, sobbing quietly she sniffed her nose and shook his head, wishing she had rejected blessing's advice even the love charm made him hate her the more. She wouldn't have pushed the pregnancy on him cause deep within her heart she knew oga Ade was a very nice man but because of her quest for wealth and reaping what she did not sow has landed her in been jobless and homeless cause oga Ade would really chase her out. She needed to see Blessing so that they would go and beg Theophilus. Maybe he could still take her back after all she did to him.

**********************************************************
"I wonder why your husband never responds to my greetings anyways... How are you doing my friend "? Mrs Sarah Davis flashed her teeth. she had come to Ade's mother's house, Mrs Anna Jacobs.


" ohh I see, you are welcome my friend how are you doing and how is Dara"? Mrs Anna Jacobs wasn't comfortable with her friend's visit, she only comes visiting when there is some favour she needed. and Sarah coming to visit her always sent her a message of insecurity. Because right from their university days all through she was known as miss wild and her been wild led her Mrs Jacobs into something she shouldn't have done. They had done something and she hoped Sarah wouldn't hunt her with it in future. She smiled at her friend revealing her dimples, she always felt Sarah had been jealous of her beauty and body shape that was why she took advantage of her years ago. S blinked her eyes, well that is in the past.

"so what brings Sarah to my humble abode"

Sarah kept on typing away on her phone, she loved and as well hated this woman she's with right now. Loved, yes she loved what they shared in the past. Hated, she hated the fact that she was prettier and got married to one of the billionaires the country has today. She was supposed to get married to her husband but instead he chose Anna over her, and she had wanted blackmailing her with the video they made years ago but she couldn't find it then, but now that she has the video she knows what to do. She smiled

"am so sorry Anna was chatting with one of my sugar boys,..... So how is Ade? "

" am sure he is fine "

" well, I don't think so your son is not treating Dara well and I don't like it"

Anna shook her head as she was trying to absorb the whole thing.
"okay, so my friend what do you want me to do.... Cause Ade is a grown man and obviously I can't tell him what to do".

"my friend, of course you can tell him what to do" Sarah stood up from where she was sitting and moved closer to where her friend sat. She drew closer to Anna and held her hand.
"my dear friend, you are his mother he will definitely concur to whatever you ask him to do...... Tell him he needs to get married to Dara that's all".

"what! I can't do that Sarah, it's his choice".

"my friend you have to or else you will not like what will come out of It! "

Anna sat still she snatched her hand from her friend's grip, she sat bemused for some minutes before her mind struck and her throat suddenly went dry. Oh no! She surely has the video, she groaned inwardly and rolled her eyes, she was already having a running temperature.

"if you do not comply with what I just told you I would release the video. You know I can do it". She planted a kiss on her friend's ear lobe biting it softly, she laughed aloud and walked out.
Anna groaned she stood up to leave to her room as her knees suddenly wobbled and she slumped the could hear her housemaid shouting "madam", as she kept on hearing Sarah's wicked laughter ringing in her ears.

"Martha I need a very cold tea for breakfast and little milk and then two slices of bread. I want it ready before I finish dressing up"
"okay sir. Oga please I wanted reminding you about the money I asked you for "
" what money! I don't know I now pluck money from trees. Ohh I see, it seems you are getting too comfortable in this house that's why you have the guts to ask me for irrelevant things, will you get out of my sight now! " Ade curled his hand into a fist as he watched Martha hurrying back to the kitchen. He hissed and entered into his room.
" he is just too mean and I will teach him a lesson. I wonder why he hates me this much". She scooped some milo into the tea cup and put some milk in it and stirred in some water then she smiled to herself "now it is time to make tea"
She rushed to her room and brought out a whitish powdered substance in a small white leather and proceeded to the kitchen.
" blessing told me a pinch but I will put all of it... Yes! "
She emptied the whole content of the leather and stirred the contents of the cup. " Martha where is my breakfast am running late! "
" am coming sir! ". She rushed to the dining and gave it to Ade who kept on gulping the contents of the cup till it got empty.
" why does this tea taste so different today Martha? " he began to pack his files and put them into his briefcase. She smiled at least he will have my time now this is the right moment to tell him this.
"ehmm oga I am pregnant, we are going to have a baby" she jumped as she concluded. She was brought back from her joyous journey by Ade's hysterical laughter.
"Martha are you serious! " Ade asked again laughing harder this time. Martha smiled and joined her boss laughing, she would give her friend a huge amount of money after this.
" wow.. That's good news my dear. Just wait till I get back from work". He grabbed his briefcase and headed out. Martha jumped and did a small dance and proceeded to her room, she needed to call blessing and tell her the good news.
*************************
Romoke smiled sadly she replayed the scene she saw at Ade's office, she had seen the lady he was with, It was that same lady that slapped her. She groaned inwardly, she had really been a fool falling in love with her Boss, Edet had warned her but she didn't believe him not until she saw it herself. And since then she had tried avoiding him she was happy when his secretary came back from her leave of absence. Romoke had moved back to her office on the first floor and Ade had behaved like nothing really happened not that they were dating anyways. She sighed, the intercom buzzed again
"Miss Romoke.... Oga Ade wants to see you in his office now. "
" okay " her heart beat suddenly increased and she suddenly started feeling hot even inside an air-conditioned room she touched her chest and wondered what he wanted to say to her but whatever it was, she assured herself that she isn't going to be his next prey.
Ade kept on pacing up and down his office he stopped to look through the window, Martha is pregnant for him? No it can't be it was only twice and he didn't spill his seed in her. He loosened his tie, now he had another problem Romoke. He had been avoiding her because he had been to ashamed and too proud to apologize, now what would she think of him? but he didn't realize he had fallen in love with her until the Dara's incident, he has really missed Romoke's gists, advices are company. He heard a knock on his door and quickly went to his seat.
"come in " he has never seen her on trousers but she really looked good in her black office trouser and a cream Blazers and it seemed as if she wore a new hairstyles, ah! Yeah, the black braids really brought out her face and made her smooth V-shaped face glow.
" you sent for me sir? " why is she acting all formal.
" ah! Yes! Romoke please sit"
Romoke tried not to look at his face cause she could feel herself shaking but she was going to stand her ground, she can't keep loving a man that doesn't care about her feelings. He even looked quite handsome, his beards were quite shaved and she could see through the shirt he wore how broader his shoulders are, she cleared her throat this is not her first time seeing this guy so why is noticing all these now, she shook her head as if to burst lustful imaginations but they seem to increase, she was thankful when he broke the silence.
"ehmm, you see Dara is my ex. I mean ex girlfriend. So whatever happened was just nothing and am sorry it happened".
It meant something! You cheat! You hurt me! She wanted to say all those but she sat tongue tied and the only thing she kept on saying was
" no problem sir "
" Am serious Romoke it means nothing, am really sorry about it" and I love you he wanted to add but he felt it was too early for such.
"it doesn't matter sir it's not as if we are in a relationship. So don't feel sorry sir". Romoke blurted out before she could stop herself, she pinched herself and looked up to meet Ade's burning gaze, he was not happy why would she utter this statement he thought.
"okay, but you didn't tell me you and Edet are in a relationship... But I hope we still remain friends Romoke? " she shook her head, was he jealous ohh it was because he saw them that day.
" no sir we are not dating, we are just colleagues nothing more " Ade felt his heart do a somersault atleast she is still single.
" okay.... Can I atleast take you to lunch this afternoon please? " She smiled she was loving all these but she would still make sure she doesn't fall into his trap as she doesn't want to be deceived she thought
" no problem sir"
"it's not sir.. It's Ade " he smiled even though Martha's discovery still lurked somewhere in his mind he was going to deal with that when he gets home.
**************************************************
Dara picked up her phone and kept on dialing the number on her screen but she kept on hearing '' the number you are calling is busy''. She threw the phone on her bed in frustration as she kept on pacing round her well furnished room. a smallish fair woman peeked into her room and walked in fully she was Dara's carbon copy except that she looked older. Mrs Sarah Davis a woman of high standard and respect she owned a thriving secondary school as well as a university. Rumors had it that it was after the death of her husband 28 years ago that she started flourishing but she didn't seem to care about all those rumors all she cared about is to make her money, attend parties and also to paint the town red with her sugar boys. Yeah sugarboys! She sure has them plenty both the models, the athletes and even the mechanics, a friend of hers once asked her "Sarah why mechanics of all men?" she would say "because they make a dirty work clean and their machines are strong and well lubricated". Her only friend is Ade's mother though they hardly see because of her schedules but they spoke almost all the time on phone.
"Dara.... What's wrong? I was told you haven't touched your food? " Dara sat on the bed and began to sob.
" why will Ade keep treating me like trash mom? I did what you adviced me to do, I went to his office last week and since then he hasn't even called me neither has he picked my call".
"is that why you are unhappy? Ehnnn Dara? Oya clean your tears". Dara cleaned her tears. She wondered why guys always dumps her but just take a look at her plumpy mother, most men would prefer been with her mom rather than her. But why? She asked herself and stared at her mother who was busy chatting away on her phone before she met her daughter's gaze.
"why are you staring at me now madam?... So you said Ade doesn't have your time right? "
" yes mummy "
" good.. So is he seeing anyone? "
" hmm no... well I don't know but I heard him mention one name ehmm Romoke ". Her mom stared at her like she was still trying to process the name.
" Romoke? What kind of local name is that? So you mean your rival is Romoke? I haven't seen the person but the name sounds local". She stood up and started to walk out of her daughter's room
"mom... Please I need Ade to look at me at least as his girlfriend " she concluded as she walked up to her mom.
" ehnnn that is a small issue now, u just get her surname but for the main time I will talk to Ade's mother".
"thks mom you are the best! "
" oya come and eat your food, I will be going out so don't expect me tonight "
" okay mom... " she replied sadly and her mom walked out of her room. Sometimes she felt her mom is too wild to be a mother cause which woman in her right senses will always party and have lots of sugar boys. Well atleast if she gets back with Ade she would marry him and leave her crazy mother alone, she sighed and walked to the dining table to devour her food.

New update enjoy *****



********************
"but where could she have gone to?" Baba asked Maami who was sitting beside her on her old spring bed.... Baba stretched himself on the bed and covered maami with her wrapper for she has been sick since Romoke left home, followed by Babatope's fight as a result of the money Baba collected from him. Maami was also not spared in this tantrum..... As she was severely beaten by Babatope's men, this made Maami fall ill.
"it's been months and yet no sign of your daughter "..... He coughed slightly and kept staring into space. Maami stood up as if an unknown force pushed her up... She started putting on her clothes.
" her disappearance has made me a laughing stock in this village "..... She shook her head
" infact.... Baba am going to the shrine... I need to pray to ogun it seems as if he's sleeping "...
" be careful o... Iya Romoke don't annoy ogun "... With that he stood up to leave
" ahnn, Baba are you not going to follow me..... There are some sacrifices we need to carry "....
" please go and carry the sacrifice for your stupid daughter... Please don't disturb my peace "..... Baba marched out leaving Maami sobbing.


********************
" am scared blessing seriously... I don't know what to do he just shouts at me all the time ", Martha sniffed and continued sobbing. She had gone straight to her friend's shop in the market when she Ade ordered her to get more foodstuffs from the market. Blessing stood up to take her black bag which she hid on a Shelf, she opened it carefully and brought out a whitish powdered substance in a small white leather and handed it over to Martha.
"what is this.... I thought you said you have the solution when we spoke yesterday "
" yes nw.... This is the real solution.... Sharp sharp one "... She gave a short laugh and continued " you put a pinch... In his food and he will love you the more.... He will be yours forever... Seriously "... Martha stared at the substance and smiled..." ehnehnn.... But my friend am scared o.... Hope this will not kill him"
"haba no nw.... I paid cool cash for this medicine o seriously.... " Martha noded in satisfaction and put away the substance in her bag, she then stood up to go but stopped to look round blessing's shop. " my friend your shop is getting fuller o! Tell me the secret who is the unfortunate man".... Blessing bit her lips and smiled.." don't worry with time you will know the unfortunate man"....
"okay nw... Let me go.. I will see you later"
"okay now... Apply the thing well o"... blessing smiled as she watched her friend walk further into the market.


**************************
Ade smiled and adjusted his tie, his heart was beating fast even though he thought the elevator was to slow, he wanted to see her again yesterday they had spoken at length about some unimportant issues but sounded interesting to the both of them but he wasn't quite sure of asking her out yet but she is really fun to be with, he hummed silently and marched out of the elevator as soon as it opened... And he felt disappointed at the sight he saw..
"you should have gotten yourselves a room to yourselves.. This office is no place for such! " he said with a tone of finality an rushed to his office stone faced.
Romoke adjusted her clothes and gave an unexpected Edet a dirty slap, he was the cause of all these rubbish, she was trying to pick some files on the shelf when Edet grabbed her from behind and started smooshing her and before she could regain herself Ade had seen them.
"in your entire life don't ever try that with me in your life.. U get " she hissed and sat back on her chair fuming leaving Edet who was also adjusting his shirt, " Romoke you slapped me..... Ehmmm no problem since Oga have started pressing your oranges you think you are the only one abi.... Someone that presses different kinds of fruits banana inclusive and we record different kinds of ringing tones then in this office..... Ohh you think you have seen better man abi... Instead of you to come to me... Correct calabar man to take care of you... No problem Romoke.... U dare slap me because of oga Ade no problem "... With that he walked off to his office. Romoke hissed and tried concentrating on her work before the intercom buzzed
" I need that document typed under 20 minutes now! "
" yes.. Sir" and he hung up. She stared at the intercom and wondered if it was just Ade that spoke to her or someone else. Then she stood up to check for the document among the piles Of files on her desk, then she knocked the cup which was sitting on her desk over, she sighed hoping the contents of the cup hadn't poured on the keyboard. She froze when she saw the computer go off, the content had spilled not only on the keyboard but also on the entire connection close to the socket, she picked up the file and marched off to the next office to get her work done.
****************
She smiled when she saw that the secretary's door was open and she wasn't on seat atleast no one is going to stop her she smiled and seductively walked through the office and opened the door leading to Ade's office.
"Romoke am highly disappointed in you seriously how could you.... " his voice trailed off when he looked up to see her, shewas wearing a nylon knee length gown and off course she wasn't wearing anything under those cause he could see her tips, he groaned and rubbed his head" "ohh my heavens"... She walked over to his desk and sat on his legs and kissed him on his lips and she started struggling with his belt " Romoke right?...... What a local name... Now am here... "
" this is an... O..ffice "... He tried completing it but he got carried away and soon she kept on shouting" ahhh.... Ade.... Harder!! "
And the next thing he heard was Romoke's " omg! Am sori to disturb" and the fast shuffling of her feet.. He smiled to himself she had hurt him this morning now was his turn to hurt her he smiled as he increased his thurst.

VII
Martha and her boss lived like cats and rats, Ade was doing his very best to avoid her and she on the other hand was trying to get his attention but all her efforts proved abortive, she thought of trying plan B the one blessing told her about but it wasn't going to be easy at all cause this man slept with her about a month back and she still saw her period after that.... So how is she going to impose this pregnancy on him which clearly isn't his own. "huhmm" she sighed aloud the tumbler she was trying to clean suddenly slipped off her hand and scattered on the floor. She hissed and stood there looking at the shattered glass. The noise of the shattered glass interrupted Ade's thoughts, he hissed and tried focusing on the newspaper he was reading but his mind wandered off to Romoke the lady Dara had slapped thinking he was sleeping with her, funny enough he didn't know why he was thinking about her, it was not as if she had a unique or striking figure that could turn heads but her smartness, innocence and there is this aura of beauty that surrounds her and he finds himself loving it. He remembered when he took her to lunch to apologize for Dara's attitude, she was so shy and couldn't even look up at his face... So humbling, he had never experienced that with any lady he went out with in the past. Even the ones he had just flings with clung to him like a desperate housefly he shrugged with irritation.
"excuse me sir, are you okay? have been speaking to you but u didn't respond"... Ade snapped out of his thoughts to find Martha talking to him. He was angry, he stood up and carried the paper he was holding and walked into his bedroom leaving Martha in the sitting room. She followed him almost immediately into his room but was stopped by his statement... "don't even dare follow-me.... Or else.." he barked at her and snapped his fingers at her and started walking further into his room. Martha was angry and frustrated, she was about to turn back to go to the kitchen when Ade called her back "what is it you want this time?" she pouted her mouth and rolled her eyes.. "I just wanted to let you know that I have set the dinning table"
"look.... Just give to the gateman or better still the dogs". With that, he shut his door leaving Martha surprised.

Hmm... I hope it's nt uncle Ben... I feel sori for will and am happy he is back with funmi...... Nyc work babsopey

********************"when will you stop living alone
Ade? " his mother's words rung in his ear as he siped the hot tea from the China cup. He sighed and dropped the cup, this time around hitting it hard on the table. He glanced at the wall clock, he exclaimed as he was already getting late for work. He went back to his room to take his car keys, jacket and briefcase he bumped into Martha who was just coming out of his bathroom. Martha is his housemaid, quite attractive but not beautiful, dark in complexion and a perfect body shape which doesn't rhyme with her face, as her face was a mixture of burnt black and red as a result of constant bleaching. Martha has always liked her Boss and wanted having a sexual relationship with this cute rich man. She has always seduced him and tried to lure him to bed with her, however she finally succeded when one cool evening at around 7:30 pm, he came home drunk and then Martha helped him into his bedroom where she started caressing him, how they ended up under the sheets he couldn't remember. He stared hard at her with disgust he could not imagine that himself, Adekunle Jacobs the CEO of Emmanuel Textile Industry and a prayer secretary in church could stoop so low to sleep with this disgusting maid of his, well it was just a one-time mistake it can't happen again, he assured himself. He didn't say a word to her, he just brushed past her to pick his things but that didn't help as he noticed that he was getting aroused "I reject the spirit of lust", he whispered to himself. He made to search for his car keys, he raised the pillow, checked his wardrobe but he couldn't find it, he stared at Martha who was picking her up her clothes at the other side of the room, he just hissed and continued his search before he heard
"are u looking for this? " Martha stood akimbo watching him. good gracious! This is going to be a tough battle, he said to himself again. He quickly grabbed his key from her then he raised his hand to warn her
" look..... I want you to leave this room fast, go back to where you belong okay? Whatever happened yesternight was a mistake ".
She swallowed advancing towards him. This guy is still proving stubborn s said in her mind. " come on boss, am sure u enjoyed every bit of the action yesterday so save me your pretence". She smiled at him. Good lord! She is doing it again seducing me! Ade muttered, he was confused he needed to get this girl out of his room before anything happens again.
"Martha get the hell outta-here! " but Martha wasn't helping matters too as she loosen her towel the angry Ade suddenly turned gentle Ade. Muttering '' Lord have mercy", he grabbed her...

Update soon.......

******************Maami rose up and started wailing, while the other wives trooped in from different angles.
"ahhh!!...... Egba miii oooo (please help me), Romoke has killed me " she rolled on the ground while her daughters and the other wives helped her to sit, Babatope was already on his feet shaking his head angrily this time around he spoke out, " see! Iya Romoke, if you don't bring Romoke to my home tomorrow then be ready to pay back my money! Tell ur husband what I said! Aremu let's go" with that they left. Maami kept on shouting "ahhh Romoke has killed me". Some of her co-wives kept on mocking her especially Iya Bisi. When the people trooping in were too much, Nike got up to shut the door just then Baba walked in. Baba is in his late 60s, hw is a very poor farmer and a lover of women, his teeth were already coloured as a result of the drinks and kolanut he took, Baba cared less of his children, he doesn't even know all of them all he cared about was sampling women.
"what is happening here? " he bent down to feel maami's body temperature then he sat on one of the cane chairs.
" Baba..... Romoke is no where to be found "
"..... Romoke?" he scratched his Grey head again and squinted his eyes trying to remember who Romoke is. Then Nike spoke up angrily, "Romoke is my younger sister........ The one Babatope paid her brideprice"
baba suddenly opened his eyes wide "ahhh... Romoke, I remember now so where could she have gone to"
Maami sat up and stared at her husband
"my husband.... Huhmmm Babatope is so upset, he said we should get ready to return all the foodstuffs and money we took from him if we don't find Romoke.... ". She sniffed again whipping her eyes with the edge of her wrapper.
"..... And that is the most painful part..... Don't worry we will find her" with that, he stood up and walked out of the room.


***********************"am sure they would have been looking for me by now". I handed the cup back to Bola and stood up to face the window, I felt tears on my cheeks. "Romoke...... Stop thinking, u are here now and we shall both leave this village by tomorrow". Bola has been my friend right from primary school, she's not from a polygamous home like me, her parents are Christians but are separated, she lives with her dad in Abuja and comes home to see her mum in the village. Unlike me she already has a suitor and she also works in Abuja. I cleaned my tears as I struggled to talk "Bola...... Thank you, God bless you"
"oya,.... Come and help me pack my things Romoke ".
I smiled surely the future is going to be bright........

I quickly got up from my bed and went to where my clothes were and started packing my clothes. My sister was still staring at me then she stood up to go.
"well.... Romoke, just make sure you make the right decision and follow your heart so you won't end up like me". She tied her scarf to her waist and left the room. Unlike me, sis Nike was not lucky, she was sold out to a trader, I would say sold out because Maami needed money as at then for her firewood business so she sold her out at age 18. Sis Nike got m, arried to the man and he used her anyhow he wanted, though he already had 3 wives. Sis Nike sometimes gets beaten by her husband, sometimes when her husband comes home drunk she would be raped by him. Life was so unbearable for her, even when she started having kids, she would be beaten, starved. There was a day she ran to Maami for money.
"I won't even dare make such mistake". I said, tucking the last piece of cloth into my worn-out traveling bag and zipped it carefully, I checked round the room to make sure there was nothing left then I closed the door and left.
***************** Babatope smiled to himself just the mention of her name sent him sparks and blood rushing fast and hot through his veins,. He wiggled his legs again and smiling in anticipation for Romoke's grand entrance, at least those dangling orange-sized bossom will be his forever he thought this time around he laughed out causing his friend Aremu to look at him, but where was his orange-sized lover? He frowned his face it was taking forever to wait for her, he whispered to his friend who in turn cleared his throat and said
" ahemmm... Iya Romoke, time is going we want to go with our bride" Babatope noded his head, Aremu is his spokesman that was why he brought him over to Romoke's house so that if she gets too stubborn, Aremu would help him bundle her out of their house.
"ahnahn Nike, Romoke is supposed to be here by now, where is she "? Maami squeezed her face and stared at her daughter. Her room is poorly lit from the Lantern at the center of the room, there is also a spring bed at the right side of the room, beside the window is just a table and two cane chairs beside it were piles of clothes neatly folded on the floor, then a water pot is also at the farthest corner of the room. Maami, Alake (maami's first daughter and Nike sat on the bed while Babatope and his friend sat on the cane chairs.
"please go and check her again " Aremu said, while Babatope shifted impatiently on the cane chair,. Alake and Nike stood up to go and check for Romoke while Maami tried to clear the tensed air
" ehmmm my inlaw " she smiled revealing her coloured teeth, Babatope did not smile he just grunted and kept on staring at the door.
" Maami!!!..... We can't find Romoke! "
