'Please, Tiger, we haven't bath in three days', Tara said to their abductors when he came in for his routine check-up.
'What else?'
'Mich isn't feeling well. We need to take her to the hospital' Tara said turning to Mich who laid in the small narrow bed provided for them. Tara and Mich had been sleeping on an eight spring mattress since the kidnapped. She wondered at first how the men expect two of them to sleep on an eight spring, but Tiger had told them its either that or the floor. They had no choice.
She recalled what had happened a week ago. Jordan must really be angry with her. She has sneaked out and this was it. On the day of the kidnapped, Tara had foolishly cried and Tiger had seen to it that she got punished. Neither she nor Mich were allowed to eat anything throughout that day. She didn't even know where they were. The robbers had gotten rid of their panties and bras and then, they were forced to wear dirty black T shirts belonging to the robbers. After that, they were blindfolded and drove into a house. They were given a room and bathroom. That's all. Neither Tara nor Mich knew where they were or how the house that host them looked like. They were never allowed out of the room and although they had a small bathroom to their selves, there wasn't water to bath. They were fed twice in a day. No breakfast, they always throw it up.
'How far gone are you?'
'I'm fourteen weeks gone and Mich is thirteen weeks'
'What more do you need?'
'Can we at least communicate with our husbands? What is happening and why haven't they pay the ransom?'
'Tara, this is complicated'
'Mich may die here. I may die, okay we need medical attention'
'I will grant one of your wish, a bath. Will you need help bathing?'
Tara turned towards the bed and stared at Mich. She is suffering from morning sickness. She won't be able to bath herself and Tara won't be able to bath her.
'Yes, we will need help'
He went out and Tara smiled at Mich. At least they will get to have a bath. Soon, the door swung open and one of the men walked in carrying two buckets of water. When he went out, Tara dipped her fingers inside and laughed. Warm water, what else would she ask?.
'Mich, can you stand?'
'I guess so Tara but what is happening? Why haven't Jordan and Joel gotten us out of here already?'
'I don't know too. I miss my son'
'I miss Joel, Tara. Do you think I will see him again?'
'Sure Mich. You have to be strong. I have a plan, we can develop it and escape from this place. Just eat and get well'
'Okay Tara, thanks for taking care of me'
'You took extra ordinary care of me last week when I fell ill. Its my turn to return the favour'
The door opened and Tiger walked in. He moved to the bed and began to unbuttoned Mich blouse.
'What are you doing?', Tara shouted
'You said you need help'
'Yes, female help, not a male and definitely not you'
'If you think I will bring a lady to wait on you two spoil brats you are wrong'
He jerked at Mich's top and the buttons began flying. A tear escaped from her eyes as she felt his big hands cupping her left bosom.
'Tiger, I will bath her', Tara shouted
'Can you?'
'Yes, I can'
He stood up, 'good then, but I want you to know that the fact that I told the guys not to touch you ladies does not mean I won't change my mind'
'Okay', mich managed to say.
He walked out of the room while Tara removed her clothes and helped Linda walk to the bathroom.
'Tara, we need to escape. I can't bear any of them touching me'
'I can't also imagine any of them touching me. Don't worry, we will get ourselves out of this place'


*******
'Hello'
'Tiger, I sent you to kill Michelle Nicholas, what did you do? You kidnapped the her and another lady along'
'Yes'
'That isn't your mission'
'i changed the mission'
'Eliminate them Tiger and leave the country'
'I want money from their family'
'You don't know who the Nicholas are. You are playing with fire'
'I will get my money'
'Don't be greedy Tiger. I paid you more than enough money'
'Money can never be enough'
'Okay, I just told you my mind. Be warned'
The phone went dead. Tiger smiled. Its time he start playing his game. He had bought a brand new phone and sim for this. He dialed a number
'Hello?'
'Jordan Nicholas?'
'Yes? Who is this?'
'It matters not. Do you want to see your wife again?'
'Please don't hurt her. How much do you want?'
'A billion naira for the two ladies'
'That's too much. We are millionaires not billionaires'
'I care not'
'Please reconsider. Okay can I please have a talk with them?'
'Okay. Wait a minute', he went to the other room and pushed the bathroom door opened.
'What do you want?', Tara shouted while trying to cover her body and Mich's at the same time.
'Your husband wants to chat with you'
He placed the phone close to her right ear'
'Jordan?', she said slowly.
'Tara, are you okay?'
'I'm not okay Jordan, please get us out of here. Mich and I have been ill'
'I love you Tara. I will do everything within my power and get you out'
Tiger collected the phone, 'Nicholas, give the phone to Jason, if he is there'
Jordan had already put the phone on speaker.
'I am here', Joel said.
Tiger gave the phone to Mich
'Joel, I don't want to spend another night here. Please do something'
'Mich, hope they didn't touch you?'
'No'
'Stay put, I will get you out of there'
'I love you Joel'
'I love you too'
The phone was snatched from her and Jordan heard tiger's deep voice.
'You have one week nicholas and Jason'
He pressed the end button and went out. Outside, he removed the sim and broke it into two. Fate was working in his favour, he thought.
'

*****
Jordan Nicholas listened intently to the horrible news a police inspector was passing across to him.
'Mr Nicholas, I think your wife and sister are kidnapped'
'Kidnapped?' Joel shouted, not minding the pain in his back.'And what have you done about it?'
'Mr Jason, calm down, we are trying our best', Robert Jacob answered.
'Mr Jacob, how is it that your men let these men escaped?', Jordan asked
'My pardon sir, but they are not ordinary robbers'
'Is that your excuse? Its been over a week and Tara and Mich are no where to be found. Need I remind you that they are pregnant?'
Joel felt like weeping. Its been over a week and he had been discharged three days ago. The abductors never for once contacted them for any ransom. He wondered how Mich was coping. Tara had missed her ante-natal checkup and it wasn't good.
'Jeremy?', Jordan asked Joel
'He isn't up yet'
There was an accident on the way to the hospital. Jerry who could have given them a few good information on what had really transpired that day was badly wounded and had been in comatose since then. Jordan and Joel had come to the conclusion that it wasn't a coincidence that a bus hit on an ambulance. No, the bus did its Job and disappeared without a trace.
'I think, someone is trying to eliminate your friend', Jordan had told Joel.
'I think so too. But who?', Joel replied.
'Maybe he has enemies. Come to think of it Joel, why is it that Jerry's wife was left out and she can't seem to remember what happened?'
'The doctors said she is in shock'
'Poor Joan', Jordan had put in. They had this discussion a day before. Today however, the two men were with mr Jacob, it wasn't as if he had any good news for them. He hurriedly took his leave, when he realized that the two men were not happy with his services.
Jordan stretched his legs. As usual, the house was silent. It has been this way for over a week. His mother had taken ill. She couldn't bear it that Mich and Tara were taken captives. Shan had completely withdrawn into a shell, Maureen too had been quiet, Eugene cried whenever he thought of his mother. Leila too was unusually quiet.
'Daddy?', Eugene's voice broke Jordan from his thought.
' Sweetheart come here'
Eugene moved forward. He stared first at Joel, then Jordan
'Where is your nanny?'
'I want no nanny!'
'Eugene, care for an ice cream?'
'No, when is my mummy coming back?'
'Soon'
'Why didn't she take me with her?'
The nanny came down with an apologetic look.
'Sorry mr. Nicholas. He was suppose to be sleeping, I didn't know when he slipped away'
'No need to apologize Rose, take him upstairs. Feed and bath him. I have important things to do'
'Okay', she said and took Eugene away.
There was silence in the room. Joel stood up.
'I'm going home Jordan. Let me know if there is anything new'
Alice Nicholas had tried to convince Joel into being their guest but he turned her down. He however agreed for Maureen and Leila to stay with his in-laws.
Jordan made a few calculations and came at a conclusion. He and Joel must forget their differences and join forces. So many secrets were lurking in the corner. It is time they face the truth and save their wives-that is, If they were still alive.
'I asked you once if your family wants Mich dead you said no'
Joel said nothing. He didn't know how the Nicholas will respond to the fact that he had deliberately put Mich in danger by marrying her.
'Joel, you need to be honest you know. Mich said something about your family wanting her dead'
'Jordan, I don't know what to say'
'Joel, I too have something to tell you but you need to promise not to get angry'
'What is it?'
'A day before your house got robbed, you were here with Mich and I told you I need to talk with you but we didn't get to talk as you got an emergency call from the hospital'
'Yea, I remember. What is it about?'
'Come with me to Mich's room. I have something to show you'
The two walked up the stairs and Jordan swung open the door. Joel followed him inside. He made his hands into a fist as he recalled the love making he had shared with Mich on this bed, in this very room.
Jordan went to Mich's laptop, he swung it open, typed the password. He went out and returned with two disc.
'Joel, I want you watch this'
'What is it?'
'I will come back in ten minutes'
'Why not watch it with me?'
'You will know why I can't'
Jordan walked out of the room. Joel detested what he was about to watch. He opened the disc drive and inserted the disc. Soon he found himself watching what no man in his right sense will find amusing. He began trembling. Joel shut the laptop down. How can Mich hide this from him? Jordan walked in.
'Joel, I'm so sorry, I don't know what got into Mich. She had always been spirited but definitely not foolish'
'My wife is having sex with two different men'
'I'm sorry Joel. But you should know that it happened before you two got married'
'Does it matter?'
'It does. You two rushed into the marriage'
So, jordan told Joel everything he knew about the video and Shadrach. Joel listened attentively.
'You know Joel, Mich can't remember anything. She was able to tell one of the guys name. Someone has made a fortune black mailing me'
'You kept giving him money and made no effort to catch him? Jordan how could you?'
'I had no choice. One thing is for sure, a trap has been set and he will fall for it. Woe betide him. He will take the full stroke of my anger'
'Not you alone Jordan, I will kill him'
There was silence. Joel wondered if Mich had eaten. He wasn't angry with her at all. No, he missed her and only wanted her back in his arms.
'Jordan?'
'Yes'
'They were taken away in their panties and bras. What if those men assault them?'
'Tara won't survive it. No, she won't', Jordan said in misery.
A maid walked in holding Jordan's phone.
'Mr Nicholas, your phone had been ringing'
'Okay, thanks'
He pressed the receive button
'Jordan, its me Kelvin. I have good news'
'Have you found Tara and Mich?'
'No'
'Then what is it?'
'Your blackmailer has been captured by the police. Guess what?'
'What?'
'Its a female. Her name is Karen and I believe she is Mich's friend in Canada. She had revealed their hide out. As I am talking to you, Shadrach is being captured in River state'
Jordan smiled for the first time in a week.'You know what to do kelvin. Do it'
'Are you sure? It may go public'
'Make sure it doesn't, make sure they know nothing about the kidnapping, make sure they return every kobo of my money and lastly, make their lives a living hell'
'Jordan'
'I am commanding you Kelvin. I want those people to hate the Nicholas name'
'Joel, good news. Our blackmailers have been found'
'Good. Where are they? I will kill them all'
'No, you won't, making their lives a living hell will be better. I am Jordan Nicholas, no one steal from me just as no one spits on my family'

Andrew114:
Aunty tiff,don't be annoyed o.you said tara locked her door when she want to sneak out of the room,how did jordan got to tara's room without stress when he was looking for her?

Thanks for bringing my attention to this. I made a mistake dear, Tara shut the door, not locked it

*******
The gun shot echoed in their ears. Jeremy knew not what was happening but he knew he needed to protect Joan, Mich and Tara.
'Mich, take Tara inside. Lock the door and don't venture out until I tell you to'
'No Jerry. You can't go on your own'
'I have to check what the problem is. One of you should call for some help and please stop wasting time'
They ran inside. Mich went to knock on Joan's door.
'Joan, I think arm robbers are in the compound"
Joan came out. She smiled at them and told them to follow her in.
'Where is Jeremy?'
'He is out'
'You left my husband outside and come running to me?'
'Joan, please, is there a way out of this house?', Tara asked in desperation.
Joan looked at her and laughed.
'No'
Three Men came into the room. They were all in black and carried guns. They also wore masks. Mich and Tara went on their knees. Each trembling in fear.
'Take them out', the leader said.
The three women were filed out. They met Jerry lying down.
'Ladies, prepare to meet your maker', Tiger said to them. They were both kneeling. He was about to pull the trigger when Mich shouted.
'Wait, don't shot us'
'Why?'
'My name is Michelle Nicholas. The only daughter of the reputable builder, Edward Nicholas and this is Tara Nicholas, the wife to my elder brother, Jordan. She owns a law firm worth millions of naira'
'It won't help you Michelle. We were sent to assassinate you and we've been generously paid'
Tara understood Mich's game. She too played along
'You can't kill two Nicholas and go scot free. The family will hunt you down like animals and when you are caught, the law firm, which is one of the best in the country, will bring forth lawyers, you won't ever escape the law, nor barrister Kelvin. You all shall spend the rest of your lives in jail, with hard labour', Tara said with a smile
Tiger slapped her and she fell down. Mich rushed to her.
'Hey you, she is a Nicholas and she is pregnant'
'Why should I care? She will die anyway', tiger said
'No, she won't die. You shall take us captives and I assure you, our family will pay double what the people that sent you here intend giving you',mich said
They heard the police siren coming. The robbers, were yet to decide so they took the women with them, leaving Jerry and Joan.
'No please, don't take them. They are pregnant', jerry said in tears.
'What will I tell their husbands?'
Tiger shot jerry on the shoulders. Jerry fell.
'Tell them, they've been kidnapped'
'Remove their clothes', tiger told two of his guys.
'No, I won't remove my clothes', Tara shouted in rage
The two men forced the two women out of their wet clothes they were left in their bras and panties. Tara was too ashamed to cry. She had really fought but the man overpowered her. The two women were taken out of the house. At the gate, they found the guard, lying in his blood. Outside, the siren was getting closer as the two women were bundled into a bus. The bus soon began speeding while a police van chased the robbers. Soon, a fight ensured between the robbers and the police. The shots were unbearable for Tara. She clutched Mich arms and began sobbing. The robbers were prepared, they dared robbed in broad daylight and their weapons were better than the police. They escaped easily, partially because of the captives, the policemen were scared of shooting the women by mistake.
Tiger was pissed off.
'I will teach you two lessons'

****
Jordan came awake by a few minutes to three. He lazily reached out for Tara but found her side empty. He immediately forced his eyes opened and touched her side again. He felt the coldness and knew she had been gone a long time. He spared a glance at the clock beside the bed and silently cursed. What sort of sleep is this? He had even missed lunch and Tara didn't think to wake him up. He sat up and his stomach roared, reminding its emptiness. Jordan went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and had his bath then went back to the room and wore a black chinos and a pink T shirt.
Opening the door to his room, he went straight to Tara's. A room he had not stepped his legs in for the past two weeks. He didn't bother to knock. He just pushed the door opened and went in, the room was empty so he went to the bathroom, empty.
Walking down the stairs, thought of the best way to approach Tara. He walked passed Justine and Sarah watching the discovering channel and called upon a maid to serve him lunch.
'Finally, Tara let you out', Justin said jokenly
'Mind your business justine', jordan shot back.
He went to the dining room and pounced on the spaghetti offered him. He said nothing as justine came in with Sarah in his arms. He kissed her lips and offered her a seat.
'Haven't you guys eaten?'
'Yea but Sarah suddenly want to eat what you are eating'
Jordan smiled at her and sent a maid for another fork.
'Come, Sarah, let's eat together', he told her and she sat next to him with a laugh. Her fork arrived and the two ate from the same plate while Justine watched.
'But Jordan, what about Tara, she too needs to eat'
'She hasn't eaten lunch yet?'
'No, no one wanted to disturb you guys fun and Tara told us to not disturb her'
Jordan kept eating. Maybe she was with Eugene or Shan. But she needed to eat.
'Kate, call Tara for me', he told a passing maid.
She went and came back after about ten minutes.
'I looked everywhere sir, I can't find her'
'What do you mean?'
Alice came downstairs with Edward. Jordan had finished eating and was staring at everyone.
'Mother did you see Tara?'
'She slept in your room last night and I saw you dragging her back there this morning. What is it?'
'She left my room a long time ago'
'When?'
'Can't say, I slept off and woke up to find her gone'
'Tara told Sarah and I that the two of you planned to skip lunch and went downstairs to get some food for you. that's why no one bothered to call you guys for lunch', Justine helped out.
Alice called the kitchen maids. They all filed out.
'Did Tara enter that Kitchen today?'
'Yes, she collected some fruits', the chief cook replied.
'You may all go', Alice said.
'Jordan, we all thought she was with you. She even said you guys planned to skip lunch'
Jordan gritted his teeth in anger
'Tara lied to you guys. I'm sure she sneaked out', jordan told them
'You can't be sure Jordan', Alice said and went upstairs to Tara's room. She found the fruits. Jordan tried calling her but she wasn't picking. He fumed.
'Where is Shan?'
'In her room. She was unusually quiet during lunch', Sarah observed
A maid was called and asked to summon Shan. Shan slowly walked down the stairs in a sleeveless yellow dress. She couldn't look at their faces. Her eyes were pointed at her toes.
'Shan, no one will punish you, did Tara tell you where she was going?', Edward Nicholas asked
'Father, I really tried to stop her but she won't here me. She was quite determined'
'Where in the hell did she go to?', Jordan quietly asked
'She said she is visiting Dr. Joel'
Jordan ran outside to Abel.
'Did I instructed you to never let Tara out?'
'Sir, she threatened me', Abel defended
'Jordan, you ,and Justine should go and look for her', Edward said. Its almost five and she is not back. I wonder I she needed to see Joel'
'I know father. She isn't with Joel, she's with doctor Jerry'
'Who is he?'
'Joel's friend'
'Why?'
'She went to seek Mich out'
'What do you mean?'
'Mich had sought sanctuary with him. Justine let's get going', jordan called his brother.
The boarded a car and left. They were in Jeremy's house thirty minutes later. The place was crowded with the media and the policemen. An two people were carried on a stretcher towards an ambulance. Jordan began sweating, he was scared of what lay ahead. He couldn't imagine life without Tara. 'Hey sir, you can't go in there', he didn't listened, he just walked on.

stunningjudy:
I'm still of the opinion that Tara is annoying, it won't hurt her to listen to her hubby and stay put. We just know how to complicate simple things.

Let me tell you something, yes tara complicated issues by going to jerry's house but I want you to put yourself in her shoes. Despite knowing that sneaking out of the house without protection would further infuriate jordan and may even end her marriage, she still went ahead because she felt guilty that mich left. Though no one blamed her, she felt responsibe for pushing mich out of the house and only thought to right the wrong. She intended finding mich, apologizing to her and convincing her to return home. That was her onl thought but things went sour and now, these two women will need each other to survive what lay ahead.

Princesssusan, weldone. It was really a captivating story. May God bless you and your handwork. Imagine, Umma was actually the pregnant one! Serves Rabe right. Pleaseinvite me to read your next work

*****
After breakfast, Tara went upstairs for a bath. As she bath, she thought of how best to sneak out without anyone seeing her. She wore a jean and white shirt to the nursery. There, she saw Jordan.
'Daddy, see mummy'
she bent and placed a kiss on his forehead.
'Mummy, you didn't kiss daddy'
She laughed and brushed her lips against Jordan's. He sighed and drew her to him.
They stayed a while with their son and left an hour later after putting him to sleep. Outside the door, Jordan drew her to him and kissed her.
'Mr Nicholas, I need to sleep too'
'Miss Joseph, what do you say about another morning with me'
'No, I...'
'What's your price?'
'Dinner, in one of the best restaurant in town'
'Just that?'
'For now'
'Okay', he said and held her hands. He was almost running to his room when he came face to face with his mother.
'Jordan?'
'Hi mother, I want to have a talk with Tara'
'A talk you say?'
'Yes'
Alice saw right through his lies but said nothing. She stood there as Jordan pushed his door opened and draw Tara in. Alice almost smiled. She walked away to her room
'Your mother would suspect'
'She won't'
'She was smiling'
'I don't care about her Tara. I want you now'
'Jordan...'
'Say nothing, let's have fun'
Jordan was trembling as he removed her trousers and clothes.
'Do me a favour'
'What?'
'Just lie still let me take you to heaven, I don't want you disturbing me at night'
They made love, slowly at first then fiercely later on.
'I'm sure you will kill me Tara', jordan said sleepily. She laid still and tried leaving the bed.
'No, stay. Please'
'But Jordan, I should go and see about lunch'
'Leave it to mother and Sarah. Just sleep'
An hour later, when she was sure he was asleep, she slipped out of his arms and wore her clothes. On her way out, She met Justine and Sarah.
'Tara, you should eat, you will need strength for that exercise', Justine said.
'What exercise?', she asked innocently
'The one you and Jordan just did', Sarah said
'Is it that obvious?', Tara asked
'Yea. Let me advice you. You can use this opportunity to make up with him. Start by packing your things, little by little to the room. Before he knows what is happening, you will be part and parcel of it. I'm speaking from experience', He said looking towards Sarah
'Hmm, and I have him now'
Tara frowned then laughed. This was her opportunity to get out. She knew Jordan, he won't be awake for another hour.
'Justine, as a matter of fact, we might skip lunch. I'm out because I need to get something for us to eat'
Sarah frowned. This wasn't Tara, she wouldn't just say anything about her s.x with Jordan. She knew instantly that Tara was up to something.
'Are you okay?', Justine asked.
'I'm fine. Don't worry about me'
They went away. Tara went to the kitchen, picked some fruits and snacks, then went back to her room where she kept everything on her dressing mirror. She had a shower, dressed in a green tank top and black jeans. She hurriedly applied powder and lip gloss. Tara took her phone and her purse, locked her door and went downstairs. She saw Shan.
'Ta morning, where are you going to?'
'I'm tired of staying indoor. Using this opportunity to buy my soap at the store down the street'
'But uncle Jordan said'
'Hi Shan, I am your sister before he became your uncle. Where does your loyalty rests?'
'Ta I'm only looking out for you'
'Then don't. I won't forgive you should anyone appear and hinder my going out'
''Ta...'
'Shan, where does your loyalty rests?'
'With you'
'Good. Tell no one you saw me leave this house'
'At least tell me where you are going?'
'To see Joel', Tara said and disappeared to the gate. She looked so serious as she walked.
'Madam good afternoon'
'I don't care for your greetings, not after what you did to me'
Abel was confused. Jordan had warned him not to let Tara out of the house.
'Madam are you going out?'
'Yes, any problem?'
'Its just that Oga Jordan said...'
'How dare you? I'm I a prisoner in this house?'
She removed a thousand naira note and gave it to him.
'Go to the store at the end of the street and get me irish spring soap and a pack of cornflakes'
The man stared, Tara glared.
'Madam, I am a security guard. I can't leave my station. What if oga needs me to open the gate for him?'
'What? You just disrespected me? You won't let me out and you refused to get them for me? Jordan must here this. I promise to make life a living hell for you'
Abel began trembling. He had worked for the Nicholas for eight years, he knew Tara for five years and she was kind hearted and sweet. She had never for once raised her voice at him.
'Madam, what I am trying to say is that you should send the maids'
'They are all busy preparing lunch. Now out of my way'
The man slowly stepped away as Tara went out. He didn't think to report the matter immediately. After all she was only going to get a few things at the end of the street.
Outside the house, Tara laughed mischievously
'Poor Abel, you fell for my trick'
She wasn't happy though. This time, she knew that she had further caused a strain in her relationship to Jordan. She had lied to everyone, but Tara was determined to have a talk with Mich. The thing is, she didn't know her lecturer's residence. It was a funny thing but Dr. Jeremy Maxwell was her lecturer and she had carried over his course once. The man was hard-working and believe that every score must be earned. She had vowed never to carry over his course again. What a coincidence, she was now going to his house to see her sister-in-law.
Only one person can give her the address to Dr Maxwell's house-Joel. She boarded a taxi to Maitama hospital. Joel was glad to see her.
'I'm leaving this place within the week. I can't lie helplessly while Mich is no where to be found'
'I sent her away Joel'
'What really happened?'
'Please Joel, I will tell Jordan to bring me here tomorrow. Now I need a favour from you'
'What?'
'Your Lecturer friend home address'
'Jeremy?'
'Yes'
'Why?'
'I failed his course'
'You want to bribe him? You know you would be wasting your time? He never takes bribe. Go back home and study'
'Please Joel, trust me and give his adress to me. Please, I risked Jordan's anger to make it this far'
'Jeremy hate it when his students visit him at home'
'Please, Tara said almost in tears.
'Okay Tara. I won't have you cry for me over this issue'
He gave her Jeremy's address.
'Tell him I send you. You are my sister-in-law'
'Thank you'
She left the hospital and boarded another Taxi. It was 4pm when she finally alight at his gate. She paid her fare and knocked the gate. A man in his late thirties opened it.
'Good evening, please is this Dr. Jeremy Maxwell's house?'
'Yes'
'Is he at home?'
'Yes. Who are you? His student?'
'Yes'
'Sorry, you can't see him. Can you meet him in school tomorrow?'
'No'
'Sorry madam. That is his rule'
'Tell him Mrs Nicholas is here to see him'
'No'
'Tell him I said, Joel sent me and I have a message foe Michelle'
He went in and came back almost immediately.
'Come in'
'Thank you'
She followed the security guard inside. Mich must listen to her.
'What do you want Tara?' She turned and saw Mich washing at one side of the house.
'To see you'
'I don't wish to ever see you'
'You will talk to me Mich. Do you know that we are all sick worried about you?'
Mich poured a bucket of water over Tara.
'You Tara, I hate, now disappear from here'
'Tara took another bucket of water and poured it over Mich.
'I risk my marriage to be here. I'm not stepping out of this house without you. I wrong you, I'm sorry but please come back home'
'No'
Jeremy and Joan came out. He was shocked to see them. Tara didn't even care he was her lecturer anymore or that she was dripping from head to toe.
'Ladies, please don't fight in my house', he said.
'No Jeremy. This is my house and the two of them have no respect. Don't worry, in a few hours you will be gone'
'Joan what do you mean?'
,Nothing', she left them and went back inside.
'They hard a knock at the gate.
'Great, jordan has found me, I will be in for it', tara wailed.
'Jay, check who is at the door', jeremy told the guard. While the door was opened, jeremy urged Mich and Tara inside to change clothes.
They heard gun shots and screamed

*****
'Good morning Jerry, how was your night?'
'It was great dear, got to go. I have lectures by 8am'
'Speaking like a true Lecturer'
'Yea, don't you think its high time you pay Joel a visit?'
'No'
'Its been two weeks Mich. Your family are worried'
'Your breakfast is ready'
'I can't Mich'
'You should. I won't let you out of that door without breakfast'
Jerry went to the dinning room and sat down. Mich came in with two bowls. The table was already set.
'What did you prepare?'
'Its custard and bean cake'
'Mich, you are making me not to miss my wife at all. Look at me, even my colleagues think I am adding weight'
'I'm glad. By the way,have you spoken with Joan?'
'She's fine. What do you think about going for your masters. I'm sure Joel will let you'
'I'm not interested'
'Why?'
'I only have my WAEC result'
'Why?'
'I never really graduated. I got kicked out in my second year'
'But Joel said...'
'I lied to him Jerry. I am just not a good wife and I don't deserve him at all'
'Mich, you are the best thing that could ever happen to any man. Look, I hardly even miss my wife and sometimes, I stared at you wishing I got you before Joel did. My house is sparkly neat, you feed me twice in a day and gave me listening ear. Even Joan doesn't take care of me like you did. Sometimes, I pray to God to keep Joel in the hospital so that I will have you. But its wrong, Joel is my friend, I can't ever have any intimate relationship with you. I like you, I respect you and I envy Joel. I will advice you to go back to school. Its not too late. Buy JAMB form Mich'
Mich began crying softly. She missed Joel so much and missed her family. Jerry stood up and picked his laptop.
'You can't hide forever Mich. Its time you face your fears. Do you want your mother to die thinking of you? What about Joel and your anti natal checkup?'
With that, he couldn't resist kissing her forehead before leaving for work. If given the chance, he would have married her over and over again but he loves and respect Joel like a brother.

************
During dinner at the Nicholas house, as usual, Tara's food was sent upstairs and she returned it. Jordan pretended not to notice it, he continued eating his rice while Shan stood up.
'Where are you going to?'
'Tara didn't eat her dinner'
'So?'
'Uncle Jordan, I can't eat while my sister is hungry'
'Continue eating your food. Tara sent back the food because she isn't hungry'
'Let me take the food to her', Justine said and collected the tray from the maid. Mrs Nicholas, who had always bullied Tara into eating had fallen ill and had been in her room for two days. In reality, she was mourning her daughter who had disappeared for the past two weeks. Opening the door to the room, he found Tara reading a novel. She looked up when he entered and smiled at him.
'Do you want me to spoon feed you?'
'I'm not hungry. Other things occupies my mind'
'like?'
'If I tell you, then its no longer a secret'
'Let me guess?'
'Okay'
'You miss Jordan?'
She nodded, slowly.
'You missed the great s.x and the closeness?'
Tara was embarrassed. She just kept quiet and was surprised that Justine was telling her that.
'Don't be shy Tara, you are pregnant and Jordan is the father. The two of you are like this because of your stubborn pride. If he won't come to you, go to him'
'I can't. What if he says no?'
'I know Jordan Tara, he might pretend not to care but he does. Two weeks in this cold whether without the warmth of your husband isn't good at all'
'Justine!'
'What? You are my brother's wife. What is there to hide? I love Sarah and we enjoy great s,x. So what? We are married'
'Jordan doesn't love me anymore'
'Go to him this night. If he refuses, tell him you will go out to get your satisfaction'
'What if...?'
'Hey, go to him'
He sat next to her and began feeding her.
'I know Jordan is the only man you've ever allowed to touch you. He is so lucky to have you yet he doesn't know. Its quiet unfortunate I'm in love with Sarah, I would have snatched you from him. Eat, you need your strength for what lies ahead'
After dinner, she began watching film but her mind was never on it. Jordan clouded her memory. When she was sure that everyone had retired to his or her room, she stood up, removed her clothes and filled the tub with water. She added bath gel and took a lingering bath thinking of Mich. Guilt was eating Tara up. She had asked Kelvin to involve himself in the search. No one had ever openly accused her of sending Mich away. They were all kind to her, well, except Jordan. She left the bath, wipe her body dry with a towel and began looking for a night dress to wear. She finally settled on a short black silky dress that barely covered her bosom and thighs. She loosed her long brazilian hair, combed it and let it fall around her shoulders. She didn't bother with make up.
'What if he sent me away?', she thought.
'Well, he took his marital right from me without my consent, its time I get mine'
She picked a long red robe and donned it then sprayed her body. Opening the door to the room she had kicked him out two weeks ago, she began walking on her toes to his room. She stopped and prayed to her God that he locked the door. To her utter excitement and disappointment, she turned the knob and the door opened. The room was dark. Of course Jordan never slept with light. She switched it on from the switch. Jordan who was about to sleep turned and saw her.
'What do you want?'
'Are we still married?'
'No'
'Okay, my name is Tara Joseph. I need a lover for this night'
'Wrong room'
'I'm starved and its late, can't go out to get my satisfaction by this time of the night. I can't do it with either Mr Edward or Mr Justine. They are both with their wives and I'm single, you are equally single'
'Get out of my room Tara'
'Okay', she said but then, got rid of the robe. Jordan stared and looked hungrily at her. She smiled like an innocent.
'Put back that robe Tara'
'Call me miss Joseph'
'I won't touch you. Stop wasting your time'
'Okay',she said and smiled. She bend down to pick the robe on the floor. Her gown was short and Jordan couldn't help but stare at her exposed body.
' I guess I have to look for another single and willing man like me', she said and left the room. Tara didn't go back to her room, she went to where the family kept the car keys and picked hers. She went out, boarded it and start the car. The security man was looked at her in surprise.
'Madam, I can't open this gate o. Its late and oga Jordan will have my head'
'Damn you Abel, open this damn gate'
'No ma. Its late and you are pregnant'
Tara was angry, she left the car as if to slap the man but was stopped by Jordan.
'Are you crazy? Do you want to wake the whole house?'
'Yes'
'Where are you going to?'
'Do you care?'
'No,'
'Then tell this man to open this damn gate'
'Let's go upstairs'
'No, I want to go out of that gate not upstairs'
'Please Tara, its late'
'Let me be'
'Jordan what is it?', they both turned and saw Edward.
'Father, maybe she drank. She wants to go out'
'Its late Tara. Where are you going to'
'To meet someone'
'I'm sleepy, jordan take her to her room and lock the door if need be'
With that, he walked back to his bed, and sleep. Jordan picked tara up. He didn't take her to her room. He met Justin at the hall way.
'Go to your wife Justine, I've got this'
'Jordan, you just passed Tara's room'
'Pretend you didn't see me'
Justine laughed and went back inside. Jordan opened the door to his room and deposited her on the bed.
'Tara...'
'No, miss Joseph'
'Okay, I will give you what you want'
'I've lost interest'
'It seems I'm now in need'
'good for you'
'Listen Tara, you can't just walk here, awaken the lust in me and then walk away'
'I have a price'
'Good, how much?'
'Mich'
'Mich?'
'Help in finding her'
'Is that all?'
'Yea'
'Okay'
He made love to her three times. Later, they lay spent in each others arms. He was about to sleep when Tara tried leaving the bed. He held her hips.
'Where to?'
'Your time is up'
'So soon? Stay the night'
'Sorry mr, I can't'
'Why?'
'I want my own bed'
'Okay, stay another hour'
'It will cost you more'
'I know where Mich is'
Tara angrily sat up? Forgetting she was unclad.
'She's with someone'
'Who?'
'Joel's friend, Jeremy now, stay another hour'
She laid down. Before she finally slept, Tara made a vow. No one will stop her this time, not even Edward Nicholas. Come tomorrow, she's got a plan.
She slept and forgot the time. When she finally opened her eyes, ray of sunlight was streaming into the room. Left the bed, wore her dress and then the robe and quietly opened the door. She was peeping the hallway, not wanting anyone to see her when Sarah appeared. Tara went out.
'Hi Sarah'
'Hi Tara, you slept there?', she said pointing at Jordan's door.
'Hush. I don't want mother or father to know'
'You know you are so funny? How long will you keep sneaking in and out of his room?'
'Can you stay two weeks without Justine?'
'No'
'Now you know'
'Did you guys...'
'Yes, maybe its a step Sarah, his anger seemed to have reduced. He may forgive me, with time'
'Go and bathe, its time for breakfast'
'On the contrary, I'm too hungry. I will bathe after eating'
'Tara?', Alice called.
'Mother good morning'
'I went to check on you this morning, your bed doesn't look like you slept on it. Where were you?'
'I, ah I was around'
'Around where? I went to Eugene, Shan, Maureen and even Leila's room. I was scared you know. I thought to tell Jordan first before I rise the alarm that you were missing'
'mother I...I...was with Jordan'
'Jordan? You slept in his room?'
Tara groaned, isn't there any privacy left in this house anymore?
'She did', Sarah told her.
Alice smiled and wave her hands away.
'Don't be shy of me Tara, I'm your mother. All you need say you were with Jordan and I won't ask any more questions'
'Yes mother'
'I'm glad you two are working things out. By the way, its time for breakfast'
'Okay', she said and hurriedly went downstairs.
'Sarah, isn't Tara funny?'
'She is mother. Em mother, justine said'
'Sarah, is justine doing his duty by you?'
'Yes'
'Then why are you not with any child?'
'I...' A maid appeared and Alice was distracted. Sarah quietly slipped away to the dinning room. While everyone eat and chat, Tara kept more to herself. She was planning something on how to sneak out of the house. Jordan came downstairs and she looked away.
'Morning everyone', he said cheerfully.
'Morning bro. How was your night?'
'Splendid', he said and pounced on his food. Not once did he looked at her way and not once did she look at his way. Sarah, Justine and Alice just shook their head.

******
Mich and Jerry were having breakfast when Joan arrived. She glared at Mich
'So, this is why you never bother calling me? Because of this trash?'
'Joan where are you coming from?'
'Get out of my house Michelle'
'She is going no where'
'Okay', she went to the bedroom and dialed a number.
'Tiger, I know where the Nicholas girl is'
'Where?'
'My house, sleeping with my husband'
'Are you sure?'
'I'm staring at her'
'Be prepared, never let her out of your side. We shall come this evening'
'How much is my cut?'
'200k'
'Its manageable'
'Good'

Jordan had taken Maureen and Leila to see Joel. This was their third visit to Joel and he didn't look happy, nevertheless, he smiled up at Leila and even poke her in the stomach. She laughed hysterically.
'Daddy, see what uncle Jordan bought for me', she said, looking adorably at Jordan. Jordan winked at her and she smiled. A week with the Nicholas had made her love them. Most especially, their eldest son.
'Sweetheart you didn't tell me what he bought for you', Joel told them.
'Oh daddy, he bought clothes, shoes and even got me a lesson teacher. Her name is miss Vicky and she is so nice to me'
'Oh really?'
'Yes daddy, I love Eugene too. His cries like a watering can but also laughs whenever he sees his father, mother or Shan. And guess what?'
'What?'
'He is always looking for a way to disappear from his lessons but his mother is always in her room, she hardly come out. Do you know that she bathe me once? Oh daddy? Can we now live with them? They have plenty of rooms too'
Joel laughed, he smiled as his daughter chattered. He saw that she was adjusting to life at the Nicholas and was grateful to Jordan.
'Daddy Shan...'
'Sweetheart, why didn't come with your mother?'
'Mummy visited me once. She...'
'Not your mummy, Mich'
'I haven't seen her daddy'
Joel looked from Maureen to Jordan.
'Jordan, I will keep asking you this questions whenever you come. Where is my wife?'
'We can't find her Joel. Mich isn't at the house. She left over a week ago'
'She's alone, pregnant and in danger'
'I heard she and Tara exchanged words and, Mich angrily left with a suitcase'
'Damn this wound', Joel cursed.
'Jordan I want to have a talk with Tara'
'Tara isn't in a condition to talk to you Joel. She is...'
'She is lazier than Mich. All she does is lock herself up in the room and sleep. Jordan's mother practically forces her to eat something. She hardly even leave her room and when she does, it is to see Eugene and her sister. I hate her most. Do you know that everyone was blaming the pregnancy? Well, she is very lazy and a saddist too. Apart from being too short, and ugly, she...'
Maureen didn't get to finish her speech. She received two hot slaps from Jordan. The slap was unexpected and very painful that she began crying. Leila looked in awe.
'What did I do Jordan? That ugly wife of yours...'
Jordan slapped her again. The slap carried his anger.
'Joel, do something'
'No Maureen, you deserve what you got from Jordan. You are so ungrateful, never you speak ill of your host-especially not in their presence. I've told you this already, Jordan isn't like me. You talk to me and Mich without respect and go scot free, now you know that you won't always go scot free'
'Jordan, I'm a lady and shouldn't be hit'
'You don't want me to hit you again, never you say any negative thing about my family. Especially about Tara because I won't forgive you and watch how you talk to me young lady, the whole staff at home have been complaining about how you order them around and treat them like your slaves. In my house, we do no such thing and never you let me catch you mal treating any of the maid or calling Tara names. You know what? She is much more beautiful and than you. Smart, hard-working and pleases me in and out of bed. I won't tolerate you talk back at her'
'Oh, Tara is so beautiful and perfect, yet you two never speak to each other. And you don't share a room anymore'
Jordan turned and began walking towards her. She saw the look on his face and knew she was in for it.
'No Jordan, I'm sorry. Please'
Jordan controlled his rage and almost laughed to himself. He had no intention of touching her.
'I'm taking you back home'
'We only just arrived'
'And I just changed my mind. Do you have a problem with that?'
'No', Maureen replied hastily.
'Good, you two should wait for me outside the door'
'Yes sir', Maureen said sarcastically.
Leila hugged her father and left. She smiled up at Jordan and waved as the door closed.
'Please find Mich'
'Okay'
'So you and Tara are having problems? She is pregnant Jordan. Doctor Jonas said you refused attending her last ante natal check up and also refused to talk to him when he called'
'He reported me?'
'No, he said to tell you that her blood pressure has risen. She's carrying another very complicated pregnancy'
Jordan turned to go.
'Jordan, if you and Tara continue like this. I will instruct Jonas to carry a D and C. Better to lost the baby than Tara'
Jordan said nothing, he yanked the door opened and walked out of the room. He picked Leila up and they walked to his car. He observed that Maureen had stopped crying but she was hicupping.
He drove to Henry and Linda.
'Where is this?', Leila asked
'My friend's house'
They walked in and were met by Henry in the living room. Henry smiled.
'Oh, are these Joel's daughter and sister?'
'Yea, where is Linda?'
'I left her bathing, let me let her know that you are here', Henry said and walked up.
'Are you hungry Leila?'
'I want to sleep'
'Okay, I will tell Henry to take you upstairs'
'Uncle Jordan?'
'Can I lie down on the cushion?'
'Okay then, but you will pee first'
Henry and appeared. Her face lit up when she saw him. She went to him and embraced him.
'Goodness Mich, you are so very heavy'
'She will be put to bed next month', Henry proudly said.
Linda was glowing in her white free dress. She saw Maureen and pretended not to remember that she had pushed her down the stairs.
'Hi Leila, I am Linda. How is your daddy?'
'He is fine'
'Would you like some ice creams?'
'Yes', Leila said and Linda knew she had just bought her.
'Isn't anyone gonna offer me something?', Maureen asked.
'No', Henry replied
'Why?'
'You think I have forgotten that you pushed my wife down the stairs and let Joel did the apologizing to you?'
'Well, if you want me to apologize, I won't', Maureen shrugged.
'Don't, because if you do, I will vent my anger on you'
'Good. I wonder why Michelle keep lazy women as her friends'
Henry walked to her, he held her two arms and shook the life out of her.
'Stop it, I'm hurting'
'I want you to you brat. Never you say a negative word about my wife. One day, you will be a wife and your sisters-in-laws will treat you the same way'
'No'
'Then start atoning for your sins. You might get a good husband. No man wants a viper for a wife'
Maureen sanked further into her seat. What Henry told her had not sat well with her. She became quiet. Turning to Leila, she found her sleeping in Jordan's arms.
'Why are you all so good to everyone except me?'
'Look at yourself miss? Maybe the problem lies within you', Jordan told her.
'And you sure have the solution', Henry added.
Jordan took Leila upstairs. He lay her in one of the spare rooms and sat there thinking of his own life. The door swung open and Henry came in with a bottle of brandy and two goblets. He sat down. Next to Jordan, uncorked the bottle and gave a filled goblet to him. Jordan gulped it down.
'You know Jordan, you've lost weight'
'Have I?'
'Yes you have. I was with Tara yesterday'
-okay'
'I called her to meet me in one of my houses. I wanted to have a private talk with her'
'Okay'
'You two are going through trials right now. Tara...'
'Don't you dare call that name to me'
'Why shouldn't I? She is your wife'
'Not anymore'
'You love her'
'No, I loved her'
'I know you Jordan. I think I know you more than Tara does. She doesn't understand you as I do'
'Okay'
'Look pass your anger Jordan. We are yet to find Mich. She just disappeared and your wife too needs you'
'She is no wife of mine'
'Before you married Tara, you had numerous lovers but as far as I can tell, Tara is the only woman you've had any intercourse with in more than five years. What you feel for her is real. You can't just say its over'
'It is'
'What will happen to the pregnancy? What about Eugene?'
'Henry, Tara dared told me I'm sleeping with Mich, she told me to choose between her and my sister and have the guts to tell me that she did me a favour by marrying me after five bloody years of marriage?'
'Yes Jordan, she told me everything, including the fact that you forced yourself on her'
'I'm not sorry for that'
'This is not you Jordan. You don't forced yourself on women'
'She was my wife and I deserve my marital right'
'And now?'
'We are separated'
'Oh?'
'then why is it that you haven't had s.x for over a week now?'
'I did'
'With who?'
'Not your business'
'You are lying Jordan. I know you and I can see it in your eyes that you are starved. How can you be, when you have a wife'
'Hey, don't patronize me'
'Okay, Tara is actually repentant for her actions but her stubborn pride won't let her plead for forgiveness'
'Okay'
'Its not too late Jordan. You can go back to your wife. I once over heard her telling Linda that your touch unleashed passions in her she never knew exited. Go home, make love to her, and talk things out. As for her, she had learn her lesson in a bitter way. Never in her wildest dream would she repeat this mistake. And you Jordan should apologize for forcing yourself on her. She is pregnant, you should treat her like an egg'
'Henry, I don't think there is any hope for Tara and I'
'Since I found hope with Linda, then you and Tara have one too'
'What I feel towards Tara now is anger. No, not anger but rage'
'I know. This incidence had thought you both a lesson'
'Forget Tara'
'Okay, how on earth do you sleep at night when your sister is missing?'
'She left'
'You and Tara sent her away. We've been looking Jordan but she is no where to be found. Think, maybe she is with someone'
'Don't know Henry'
'Can't you see that your mother is suffering? Please help out'
'Justin is at home, let him take care of it'
'We need all hands on deck Jordan. Think about what I told you Jordan, you and Tara need each other now'
'Okay'
