thats not a good thing to say dear. Someone is plagiaring his work and is forced to stop and you act as if its nothing. I know d9ty7, he isn't one to just leave his story half way. This time around, he has no choice and please learn to respect his decision.
As for me coming back to give the conclusion of my story, i did it cause of my readers. I know what it feels like to start reading a book and stop halfway. I will stop writing once i identify another threat.
I won't work, fold arms and watch someone else take the glory. Maybe you can do that, Ella, i can't.
D9ty7, take your time and make your decision.

TrishaP:
Thought this story was is mich and Joel.

Yes, I am centering my plot around Mich and Joel and I don't want to omit their families, especially Mich, who is so close with Jordan.
Don't forget that this is the last story of the bridal series. In this book, I will close this series, therefore, all of them would be used. Tara and Jordan, Linda and Henry and then Mich and Joel. This story will be a bit longer than the first two.

'Mich? Can you tell me what the problem is?', Jeremy asked her on her way to his house. She said nothing and kept crying.
'You can trust me you know. I've been a friend of Joel from school, I'm no stranger to you'
'Please don't ask me cause I can't lie to you'
'Okay', he continued to drive in silence.
'Where do you live?'
'Wuse'
'Hope I won't inconvenience you and Joan?'
'Joan traveled yesterday. She is visiting her younger sister in Rivers. Said she will be there for a week', Jeremy didn't tell Mich that Joan went even after he had threatened her not to.
She fell asleep in the passenger seat before he got home. He kept wondering what the problem was. At home,he parked his Toyota Camri at the lot in front of the flat. He alighted from the car and walked to the passenger door. Opening the door, he gathered Mich in his arms and walked to the living room where he laid her on a sofa. He walked back to a spare bedroom and made the bed, then brought her back to the room and laid her. He watched her as she slept before finally going to his room.

*******
Mich came awake much more later. He she looked around the room and remembered what had happened but she couldn't remember walking into the room. The bed wasn't big, it was just comfortable with a pink spread over it. Facing the bed was a small dressing table and mirror. There was a wardrobe at the right hand side of the room. The wall was painted blue and the ceiling was painted white. She looked around for a bathroom and found none. Mich swung her right leg on the floor and touched a rug. She looked down, it was red in colour. She walked barefooted out of the room and appeared at the living room. It was much more bigger than the room she slept in. The cushions were blue in colour and the wall painted yellow. Mich fell in love with this room she knew not why. Maybe it was because of the room seemed to be beckoning to her. There was a big samsung plasma tv, a DSTV decoder and two home theater speakers.
'You are awake', she heard Jeremy said from
Behind her and turned to see him in a red short and white polo shirt.
'Good morning Jeremy'
'Morning Mich, hope you had a wonderful night rest?'
'Yea, thanks for taking me in'
'Don't mention dear'
'Please where is the bathroom, I need to ease myself and then bath?'
'Oh, that's the bathroom', he said pointing to a door. This is a three bedroom flat. The two spare room share a bath. Can you manage it?, its what I can afford for now'
'Nonsense Jerry, what do you take me for?'
'you are born in money'
''See you, I am simply Michelle Jason, nothing more'
'Okay, your box is in the wardrobe in the room you slept. Let me make breakfast for you while you bath'
'Don't bother Jerry, I will...'
'Hey, unless you want Joel to crucify me for mal treating you'
Mich actually laughed for the first time. She didn't bring any towel so she made used of her wrapper and had a bath in the small bathroom with the pink tiles and a small mirror. She wore a black jean and a red blouse and came out for breakfast.
'What's for breakfast?', she asked him as she sat on the dining table.
'I fried irish potatoes and eggs'
'Sounds great'
'Thanks'
'He opened the food flask and Mich went white. The aroma alone nauseated her. He saw her look and quickly covered it.
'So sorry Jerry, I guess I should just take tea'
'Don't apologize Mich, I understand'
He too couldn't eat the irish so he just drank tea and bread. After breakfast, Mich went to do the dishes in the kitchen. He followed her in.
'Em, Mich? Won't your family look for you?'
'Maybe'
'When are you going home?'
'I will pack my things later in the day'
'No Mich, don't take it the wrong way. Please stay here as long as you wish'
'Are you sure?'
'Yes'
'Okay, please do me a favour'
'Okay'
'Tell no one I am here. Not even Joel. I just need time alone to think'
'Okay'
'Today is saturday, please don't visit Joel at the hospital for now'
'Why'
'I have my reason and I will let you know'
'Okay'
'Any plan for today?'
'No'
'I have scrabble, Ludo and What. We can keep each other company before lunch time'
'Okay, but I will cook. I am a lady. I can't let you cook for me'
'Suit yourself', Jeremy told her.

******
At the Nicholas house, it was twelve noon. The whole family were seated in the living room except the guests, Shan and Eugene. Jordan and Tara sat as far away as they could from each other. Justine and Sarah who had just arrived sat together while the parents sat at the right hand side. There was silence in the room.
Jordan, his mother observed was still in a foul mood. Why shouldn't he? He returned home the previous day only to find out that Tara locked the door to their room from inside. He had to sleep in one of the spare rooms available. Jordan hated it.
'Jordan, what is going on between you, Mich and Tara?', edward asked.
'Nothing'
'Then,Tara, do you have a problem with either Mich or Jordan?'
'Yes'
'Good, what's your problem?'
'Both Jordan and mich should apologize to me'
'For what?'
Tara kept quiet. At this point, she couldn't tell the whole family that jordan had forced himself on her'
'I'm listening'
'Em, Jordan doesn't treat me like a wife. His priority is Mich. He always go to her aid at ny expense. Jordan, if you don't apologize to me I will leave'
'Don't feel so important Tara, I won't apologize cause you deserve what you got'
'I was forced into this marriage. I want out'
'Good, pack your things before the end of today and leave. Tara, you, have bitten more than you can chew because you are so self centered. From today henceforth, I've released you of any duty towards this marriage'
Tara stared. Then burst into tears.
'All these because of Mich? Jordan you are wicked. After spending five years of my life with you, you are now discarding me like a piece of clothe? Mother is this fair?'
'Jordan, you can't just wake up one morning and say you want out of your marriage. Don't forget she is pregnant', his father interjected.
'You heard her say she was forced. Now she can go and enjoy her life'
'Jordan?'
Jordan went on his feet. he was looking very angry and serious when he said,
'Tara, want you out of this house before evening. I no longer consider you my wife. And please leave Eugene for me. As for the pregnancy, I will send you money for upkeep. I never want to set eyes on you again'
His father stood up.
'Are you crazy Jordan? She is going no where'
'Okay, she can stay but she is no wife of mine. From now hence forth Tara, avoid me, father is now responsible for you. Come close to me I will beat you up'
He began walking up the stairs. His father called him.
'Jordan, we can't find Mich, she is closer to you than any of us. Do you know where we can find her?'
'Father, I simply want to be left alone, Mich is almost twenty-nine. She can take care of herself'
'Jordan, she is my only daughter', Alice said in tears.
'I just said I want to be left alone', he continued upstairs to his room.
Tara continued crying. She never thought Jordan would do that to her.
'Why are you crying Tara? Are you not happy? You practically sent Mich away, and insisted you want to go', Alice told her.
'Alice, this is no time to shift blame. Justine, we've got to look for your sister, her life is in danger. As for you Tara, I will advice you to stay away from Jordan-for now', Edward said.

Thank you Suzan for making this update. You have improve in your narration and description. From your last two updates? Are you saying that Umma's parents live with their daughter and husband? If so, how is it that they watch him maltreat her?

Mich blindly drove to the hospital. she was tired, hungry and didn't know where to go to. She drove into the parking lot and alight from the car with her hand bag. Once in the hospital, she walked towards Joel's ward and opened the room to find him gone. She became instantly scared so she walked to Doctor Joshua's office.
'Come in', he called in.
She entered the office and sat down. He saw her and was alarmed at the look in her voice.
'Michelle, you should be resting'
'Doctor, I can't find my husband in his room'
'Oh, your father didn't tell you?'
'What?'
'He had been moved to a private room'
She sighed. 'Is he in this hospital?'
'Yea, I would love to take you to him but you are tired'
'Please take me to him', she said in tears.
'Okay, but it will be for a few minutes'
'Thank you'
He led her up the stairs to another wing in the hospital. He pushed a door opened and she entered. Joel was sleeping on a very comfortable bed. He left her with Joel. Mich walked to the bed and stared at him.
'Joel, I'm all alone now. I have no where to go. Please get well soon'
She sat down on a cushion and held his hands. The hurtful words Jordan and Tara told her made her start crying again. Her cry woke him up.
'Mich', he whispered
She looked up at him.
'What are you doing here? Its dangerous for you. Please go home'
'I have no where to go Joel'
She was crying and was finding it difficult to talk. Joel helplessly watched her and cursed his wounds.
'Come and lie down with me'
She stood up, removed her sandals and climbed in. She silently thanked her father for the bed. Soon, she began to hiccuped
And then fell asleep. Joel wanted to move but his back hurt him so much he couldn't move. Whatever the problem was he didn't know. A few minutes later, the door opened and Doctor Joshua and Jeremy walked in. The two looked in surprise at her.
'Surely Joel, you know this is not allowed. She might mistakenly touch your wound'
'Hush, don't wake her. I don't know the problem is but she had been crying before finally sleeping off'
'Joel, how you?'
'Jeremy, thanks for coming'
'No Joel, she can't spend the night here. You know that. She should come in tomorrow'
Mich came awake. She looked around the room.
'I should properly go home', she said and then remembered that she can't go home. The tears began flowing slowly.
'Mich what is it?', Jeremy asked her. I can help'
'Okay'
She lightly kissed Joel on the lips and followed the nurse that came to send them away. Outside the room, she fell dizzy and fell down. She was rushed to the emergency unit.
'She is pregnant you know', Joshua told Jeremy.
'Wow'
Later, she was discharged. Jeremy was about taking her home but she refused.
'Why?'
'I'm having problems with my family'
'Where will you go to now?'
'I have Joel's ATM card with me. I'm gonna just pay for a room'
'I won't let you. why don't you come home with me? After all, you are my best friend's wife'
'Your wife dislike me'
'Just forget about her'
'Okay, thanks'
Better to be with Jeremy than either Tara or Jordan. Jeremy took her suitcase to his car. She simply went back to the hospital and left her father's key in Joshua's office. She had made her decision and damn the consequences.

********
Tara packed a suitcase and called a maid to take it downstairs while she quickly showered and wore a silver dress. descended the stairs, she met her Alice.
'Mother, I'm leaving. I can't ever forgive Jordan for what he did to me'
'Where are you going to?'
'Don't know for now'
'What about Eugene and Shan?'
'I will come for them once I'm settled'
'Tara, you've really changed'
'Yes, all thanks to Jordan and Mich'
'Its dangerous out there'
'I don't care'
'What is happening here?', Edward Nicholas said from the doorway. There was silence in the room.
'Is someone traveling?'
'Father, I'm tired of this marriage'
'So?'
'I am leaving'
Edward Nicholas was tired and hungry yet he was just staring at his daughter-in-law.
'Where is Jordan?'
'I don't know'
'Go back upstairs Tara, I won't let you leave this house when you are pregnant and its getting dark'
'I can take of my self'
'Tara, did I just told you to go upstairs?'
'Father I...'
'Don't you ever think you can argue with me young lady. Go to your room'
'On one condition'
Edward stared harder. Was she insane? She had never talked to him like that. What was happening?
'What?'
'I can't stay in the same room with Jordan. I want my own room'
'Had it come to this?'
'Yes and at the right time I will leave'
'Go upstairs Tara, I am so tired right now'
She slowly went away silently cursing her lateness in going. Edward sat next to his wife.
'What is happening?'
'I too don't know but Mich was involved'
'Call Mich for me'
'Mich is not here'
'What are you saying?'
'She and Tara exchanged heated words. Tara said Mich is coming between she and Mich and there was something about a movie, She packed a suitcase and left. Said she can't live in the same house with Tara'
'Oh God, what in the hell is Jordan doing?'
'Forget Jordan for now, I don't know what went on between the three but at the moment, he is angry with everyone'
'Oh. Lord'
'Its time Justine and Sarah come back home. Wr think this family is perfect? Its not. Our children have dirty secrets they have been hiding and we need to find Mich'
Edward dialed Justine's phone number.
'Hello?'
'Justine, I want you here in Abuja first thing tomorrow morning with Sarah'
'What is the problem?'
'You've been running from this family's responsibilities far too long, leaving Jordan to shoulder everything. Its time you share this responsibilities with him'
'But father...'
'Don't but me Justine', He cut the phone. Edward was confused. He called Doctor Joshua.
'Did my daughter came to the hospital?'
'Yea, she left, thirty minutes ago'
'Thank you'

princesssusan:
TiffanyJ i‘m so happy hearing from you, tnx so much 4 ur contribution.
Ha! I have a long way to go o.

We all have a long way to o. Thanks for inviting me

ThR0NeKiD:
Hi, girlfriend, whats up?

I'm good, how is life with you sir

Prinsesssusan, I am sorry I came late, please do forgive me. After reading your story, I must say I remembered my stay in Katsina. You've got a very good storyline and I can see that D9ty7, Thronekid, Toykatthy and others had pointed out some errors. You've really improved but I will advice you to edit the ones you've previously written before D90 came. You have to differenciate your characters' speech and your naration. Its really really important.
What about description? Have you forgotten its importance in writing? How old is Umma? How old is Rabe? What is her complexion? Is she tall? Or short? Fat or slim? What does Rabe do for a living?
What about setting? In literaure, we have two types of setting. Namely; time and place. Where is your story set and what year is it? Describe Rabe's house. Is it a flat? Duplex or bungalow?
I observed that your work does not have chapters, can you please chapter your work?
You are doing great. I'm actually learning from this story. Oh! By the way, it reminds of one of iburo's film. I'm sure you know who Iburo was.
Finally, never you forget that determination today leads to success tomorrow. Keep doing the good work dear.

'Jordan please stop staring at me like that', was what she managed to say. She was ardently rubbing her left wrist with her right palm. When he was completely unclad he moved towards the bed.
'Aren't you going to apologize to me?'
'For what Jordan?'
'Tara, you are adding to my problems. I need you to help me'
'I don't care Jordan. You think I didn't see those videos on Mich? I don't care about that'
'Tara, you...'
'Leave me be Jordan. You forced me into this marriage and now I know I am in danger. For what? Doing you a favour by marrying you? I am your wife not Mich. All you do is treat her like she is more important than me'
'Mich is my sister and you are my wife'
'Good, then I want your undivided attention. Did I sent her to act indecent movie? Between Mich and I who is your priority?'
'Tara I can't believe you are telling me all these'
'Listen to me Jordan, marrying you was a mistake. Why I'm I always in danger for your family? First Amanda and now Mich'
'Shut up Tara. Are you comparing yourself with her?'
'Yes'
'Since when?'
'Since you made her your priority'
'Mich loves you like a sister'
'And now she is endangering my life'
'I will protect you', he said and touched her arm. She hit his hands away.
'I hate it when you touch me. Since Mich return, you take her as if she is your wife and I your sister. How sure I'm I that there isn't any sexual relationship between the two of you?'
Tara was angry. Damn Jordan to hell. Because of Mich he told her to go? Well she is more important than Mich.
'What do you want?' He asked her in a voice devoid of emotions?
'I love you, adore you and never cheated on you? Now you are insulting me?'
'You know what I want Jordan?'
'What?'
'Prove to me that I am your wife and Mich your sister'
'Really?', he said in a barely contained anger. He had hurt her and she wanted to hurt him back.
'Yes'
'Let me treat you the way most men I know treat their wives Tara', he said. He roughly dragged her to the middle of the bed. What happened next took her off guard. He jerked at her shirt and the buttons went flying. He removed her clothes and stared at her.
'No Jordan please no '
'Let me prove to you that you are my wife' he said and forcefully pushed himself into her. She screamed in pain but the Jordan she knew was no more. When he was through with her, he stood up and looked down at her disdain fully.
'Now you know I am your husband and you my wife'
He didn't wait to take a bath, he wore his clothes and went out of the door with blood in his eyes.
'Jordan, I remember something', he heard Mich walking and saying behind him. He ignored her.
'Jordan?'
He turned and his eyes scared her.' Mich, I didn't send you to sleep around, I didn't send you to marry Joel. I didn't cause your accident nor the robbery. For once, take care of your problem and stay the hell away from me'
'Jordan, how can you tell me this hurtful words?'
'You and Tara are the same'
'What did I do to you?'
'I love Tara Mich and you are coming between us'
'But...but'
She said as tears ran freely down her cheeks. Her mother appeared and saw Jordan and Mich.
'What is the problem?'
'Mother, tell Mich to stay the hell away from me'
he walked away, went out of the door and drove away in his mother's car.
Mich quietly went back to her room. Alice went to see Tara, she met the girl unclad, on the bed, crying. She saw the buttons and the torn shirt. Sitting on the bed, she looked at Tara.
'Did Jordan just forced himself on you?'
Tara couldn't talk. After trying in vain to calm her, Alice left. She suddenly felt tired and sick. Her heart was beating fast. She sat down on the sofa in the living room. A few minutes later. A maid called her.
'Ma, please come upstairs'
'What is it?'
The girl said nothing, Alice walked upstairs and found Tara and Mich exchanging words.
'Tara, I said you should tell me how is it that I am coming between you and Jordan?'
'Go away Mich? I didn't send you to act those films nor did I send you to marry'
'Oh?, you simply wanted to come between Jordan and I', Mich told her
'No Mich, you came between us. You are selfish and cared only for yourself. You are the reason Jordan did this to me'
'And you Tara, are the reason Jordan just insulted me. You are wicked and a pretender. You know what? I won't come between you two again, he is your husband, enjoy him and enjoy your house cause I can't stand living in the same house with you'
'I didn't send you away Mich, after all this is your daddy's home'
'No its not, its now yours'
Mich left, took a suitcase and took one of her father's car. Alice didn't know what was happening. She wept silently as Tara too began parking a suitcase.

TrishaP:
My silly mind is telling me something. .

Like?

******
Tara drove steadily down the street half angry and half excited. She was angry that Jordan yelled at her and excited that she made him angry.
'Now you will know that I'm serious about my cornflakes', she told herself.
Jordan nicholas seemed to forget that she is carrying his child and it wasn't an easy load to carry.
'Damn it Tara, you just disobeyed mother and father. How in the hell will you apologize to them?'
She chided herself. She had stubbornly boarded the car and drove out against her mother-in-law warning her against it. But she had been so angry, leaving the house was the only thing in her mind. She parked the car at the side of the road and looked at herself in the mirror. She clasp her face in her hands and wondered if she should go back home. She almost did but the thought of Jordan smiling at her mockery discouraged her.
She stepped on the accelerator and continued driving. Soon she was on the high road, driving with mix feelings. It occurred to her that a red Honda Accord had been following her from behind.
'Nonsense, just my imagination. Who would want to follow me?'
She kept driving and her stomach rolled in hunger. She wasn't only hungry, she was tired. The love making she had with Jordan had sapped away the little strength she had. She cursed over and over again as she drove to her favourite shopping mall.
'Damn it, I ought to visit my children by 3pm. I don't think I can make it. Its been almost a week I saw them'
she drove into the gate of Ritzy mall and was surprised that the red car also drove in. She waited a little longer. When she finally alighted from the car, she intentionally walked towards the car as if she didn't even noticed it. When she was close to it, she stopped, as if she had forgotten something, she glanced into the car and saw two guys. One was wearing a red shirt but she saw neither of their faces. She went back in and took a basket. While she walked from shelf to she shelf, she had a feeling of being watched. For the first time since Amanda was convicted, Tara was scared. She picked some pack of cornflakes and unceremoniously threw them into the small basket. She turned and saw the man in red at her back, he quickly turned away. And pretended to be picking a pack of cornflakes.
This isn't a coincidence, Something was definitely wrong. She heard someone breath deeply from behind her and again remembered Amanda. Tara almost screamed as she turned, she perceived a familiar cologne.
'Jordan?'
She didn't think, She jumped on him and began crying not minding that people were staring at her. She dropped the basket that was standing between her and her husband.
Without saying a word, Jordan picked the basket and led her to the counter.
'Jordan there is...'
'Don't say a word, I will deal with you later', he whispered in her eyes and then wiped away the tears on her cheeks with his palm. She couldn't say anything. As Jordan pay for the cereal, she looked around for the man in red but couldn't see him. She kept looking.
'What is it Tara? Do you want to get any other thing?'
'No, its just that...'
'Then let's go home'
Jordan was angry but he managed to remain calm. He had drove here because he knew she loved the place and was very relieved to see his car at the parking lot. He had went in to drag her out of the place but the sight that greeted him shocked him. He never thought she would jump on him and start crying, neither did he expect to see her looking scared and ready to faint. It had melt his heart.
At the parking lot, he saw her looking at all direction almost at once,
'Tara, what is the problem?'
'A guy was following me, they parked their car out there, its now gone'
Perhaps it was a good thing her stalkers left for if jordan had seen the car, he would have fought them. He was tired, needed sleep, and so many problems to solve. Justine and Sarah, Mich and Joel and now his wife. Can't she see that he needed rest? Must she add to his own little problem? He was disappointed at her. She knew she could send a maid to get her damn cornflakes but she closed to make him look like a fool. His mother had called to tell his father that Tara left home and the man had not hesitated to call and tell Jordan off.
'You are at home and Tara left?'
'I didn't know'
'Jordan Nicholas, she is your wife, if you can't control her, how on earth would you control a vast company?'
'Father I'm not ready for this. Please, let me be'
He ended the call and drove on. In truth, Jordan was looking for who to vent his anger on and he wasn't lucky.
'Get into the car let's go'
'What about yours?'
'Someone will come for it'
They boarded the car and drove home in silence. Once at home, Jordan grabbed her hands and began walking upstairs.
'Wait, Jordan, you are walking too fast'
He walked passed his mother and Shan in the living room.
'Jordan, don't forget she is pregnant and ill', his mother shouted.
'Mother, will you please let me be?', he almost shouted.
Once in the room, he locked the door and let go of her. Tara stared at him with pain in her eyes. She just sat on the bed and watched as he began getting rid of his clothes. She didn't know what to expect from him.

@tiffanyj
Honestly the mistake I made was to start this "a man to call my own" story without first finding out whether I would see the conclusion.
Obviously I didn't learn my lesson with TRB

To think that I have a bookshelf filled with unread romance novels cos I was tired of the same old plots....for some reasons I have been glued to the characters in your stories since I started reading last week. Perhaps it's the Nigerian factor that is making it feel so close to home......

Truth be told, I love your work! I am usually critical of Nigerian writers but to my greatest surprise, I have been stuck on your pages since I read the first reluctant bride. So this heart ache am feeling right now is simply unbearable.

So am not gonna read any more of your old stories....My heart can't take this suspense a third tym. You have made me feel as sick as I used to feel when I lost the last few pages of a good romance novel.

I will go back to my bookshelf to dust my old books now.



PS
I think it's sick that people copy your work and claim it.

I think you can stop the copycats if you go to print...cos if I see your name as author I will buy that book.

I think if you are willing to give it to us your fans for free, then you can sell at an affordable price to the same fans.

Finally I think I am coming down with a fever cos my mind is running all over the place in its bid to imagine the possible ends to the two stories I have read.

Okbye!

-PSD

Hmmm, I really feel bad these things are happening. Well, I am thinking of publishing my stories on line and then sell them. The thing right now is that I don't have time to start the process.
Read my third story, I give you my word, you shall get the complete work. Whenever you are hooked, let me know, I will help out. Thanks for reading my stories

Good afternoon to you all, how is the sunday going? Hope you are all having great time? Well, I am realy sorry I couldn't update yesterday and I never did reply to your comments. I am actually going through some private issues. I will try my best and make an update later in the day. Thank you all for reading. Your comments and argument actually put smiles in my face, may God bless you all.

Mich sat down and watched herself in the movie. How did such a thing got into Jordan's hands? She wondered. Shadrach kept coming to. Her lips and she tried to recall where she knew him. After watching the whole film, she ejected it from her player and began to cry softly.
'Why can't I remember any of this? Was I this bad?'
She kept crying and refused to talk to her mum when she came in to check in on her.
'Mich? Is it Joel? But the doctors said he will make it'
Mich had nothing to say. She simply kept crying. The more her mother pet her the more she cried. What in the hell will she tell Joel? No man would want to see his wife like that. A knock sounded on the door and Jordan peeped in.
'Jordan come in, your sister is at it again'
He entered the room and sat next to her on the bed.
'Mich?'
'What will her tell Joel?'
Jordan looked at his mother and she too stared at him.
'What is she saying?'
Jordan didn't get to answer her as Mich clasped her left hand over her mouth and ran to the bathroom. Her mum ran after her. He watched as his mother brought her back to the room a few minutes later.
'Mother, why don't you go and rest. I will stay here with her'
'But what about Tara? She too will need you'
'I left her lying down. She should be sleeping now', he told his mother.
He smiled to himself. The Tara he knew would be sleeping as sleep is the only thing she thinks of after love making. Alice Nicholas left the room. Off all of them, Mich was closer to Jordan. She might actually talk to him. As she shot the door, she heard Jordan telling Mich that crying would not solve her problems. Alice left, if Mich and Joel do not want her to know whatever the problem was, then she won't pop nose.
'Where did you get the video from?'
'Someone sent it for me'
'Why would Shadrach send you such a private video?'
'Do you know him?'
'Yes, his name is Shadrach and I remember we used to date'
Jordan sat up. He looked intently at her then hugged her.
'You've gotten back your memory?'
'I can't remember everything but I know his name was shadrach and we used to date'
'Where?'
'I can't say'
'Was it here in Nigeria or Canada?'
She began crying again, 'I don't know Jordan. The more I tried to think the more I get this splitting headache'
'Don't think Mich. This guy has been collecting money from me. When I get him, he will be sorry he was born in this world'
'Jordan?'
'I'm sure Joel does not know about this. What will I tell him?'
'If he truly loves you, he will understand you and love you for who you are'
'He kept saying he loves me but can he stand watching me like that?'
'Mich? This isn't the only video. There was another, you were with another man'
'Oh my God, Jordan? Joel will be so disappointed in me'
'What about father? He might disown you-again'
'I don't care about father. Joel makes me feel complete. Without him, I am just a fragment of myself'
'He will understand'
'Do you think I deserve him?'
'Yes, he doesn't deserve you though'
'All I do is lie to him. He doesn't even know that I am a common secondary certificate holder, now I am a porn star?'
'You are not Mich'
'You watched the videos?'
'No, I couldn't'
'Who else knew about it?'
'Just me and Barrister Kelvin'
'Joel had been so honest to me. He brought me here to protect me against his uncles'
'What uncles?'
'They want me dead. Oh no, I'm not suppose to tell you that'
'You are Mich. Tell me what you know'
'No'
'Your life is at risk'
'I know'
'If you don't tell me, I will make sure Joel hears it'
'Jordan?I'm feeling ill'
'Okay you win but promise me something'
'What?'
'You and father won't hurt Joel?'
'No'
'His uncles want me dead'
'Why?'
She bit her lower lips in an effort to stop crying. Jordan frowned when the door opened and Tara walked in smiling.
'Mi
'Tara, whatever it is, wait for me in the room'
'But Jordan its important'
'I thought you are sleeping?'
'No'
'Why?'
'I want to take cornflakes and there is non in the house'
'For goodness sake Tara, go to a nearby complex'
'But father said we should not leave the house'
'Then send one of the maids'
'Jordan why are you shouting at me?'
'What do you want from me Tara?'
'Drive me to the store'
'I'm busy'
'You are not'
'For crying out Tara, don't be a nag'
She walked out, and then noisily banged the door.
'You should go after your wife'
'Mich, this is also important'
'She is your wife and you just made her angry'
'She will get over it. Did I tell you that she loves no one but me and my touch makes her weak? We do argue, fight sometimes but we always make up. Now tell me, about Joel's uncle'
'You see, he said they killed his pa..."
The door burst opened. Shan and Alice Nicholas ran in.
'Jordan what did you do to Tara?'
'Oh she went crying to you?'
'No'
'Then what?'
'She just drove out of the compound'
'She didn't dare!'
'Uncle jo, I tried stopping her and she said to tell you that she will take her cornflakes. You should go to hell and burn to ashes for all she cares'
'she said that?'
Jordan stood up. He was angry and scared for Tara.
'Mother, you didn't stop her?'
'For the first time I know Tara, she disobeyed me'
'Now tell me I didn't marry a stubborn wife. The one Henry and his father forced on me'
He ran out of the room in search of his car keys. He couldn't find it.
'If you're looking for your car keys, Tara drove away with your car'
'Shan bring her own for me'
'She took it',
'Mother I'm gonna have to make use of yours'
'Okay, just find her Jordan, its not safe out there'
'I will mum, but she will hear from me'
He left, her phone was switched off. Jordan fumed as he drove.
'I will punish you Tara', he said to himself.

Jordan descended the staircase around past eleven. He walked pass the living room to the dining room and found Maureen almost through with her food. Shan came in and smiled at him
'Where is Leila?'
'She is sleeping'
He sat down and told Shan to fry some eggs for him as he wanted to take tea and bread. She returned a few minutes later with the fried eggs.
'what did you eat?'
'Yam and egg'
'Shan, you are loosing weight and I don't like it. Come join me let's drink this tea. You know you need milk'
Shan didn't argue. She sat down next to him and together ate. Like friends, they ate the egg from the same plate.
'Uncle Jo, why did father stopped us from going to school today? I asked Ta she said to ask you'
'You know what Shan?,eat, you are now getting too thin for my liking'
'You know I'm studying hard for my WAEC'
'Tara is complaining that you study a little too hard. You hardly even have time for her'
'You promised to send me abroad for my tertiary education if I pass my exams. I don't want to loose that chance'
'Oh, Shan, just say you can't wait to be rid of us'
'No uncle Jo, you know I love you all so much but I want to be alone for once. You and Tara are always looking out for me like mother hen. I need to be able to live by myself'
'So you are running?'
'Don't forget that you promised me Harvard university'
'And don't forget that I said Tara must give her consent'
'She will'
'You don't sound certain'
'Tara is just scared of missing me uncle Jo. I am no longer twelve. I am seventeen and can take care of me'
Maureen, who had been listening to them got angry. How can Shan who was a no body have this kind of attention from Jordan.
'By the way, where is Ta?'
'She should be sleeping. I don't want her stressed up'
'Your wife is simply being lazy', Maureen put in.
'Ta, is not lazy, she is ill', Shan defended
'Really? Are you that naive? She just had s.x'
'Shan looked uncomfortably at Jordan. She was at a lost what to say or how to react.
'With her husband', Jordan said, lazily.
'I can perform better in bed than that silly wife of yours'
Jordan stood up. He banged his fist on the table. His eyes turned red in anger.
'Never you call my wife names. You are merely a guest here. Don't get too comfortable'
Maureen lifted her head. She wondered why he was getting angry, can't he see that she loved him to distraction? Tara is even short.
She saw Mich came down the stairs.
'Where are you going Mich?', Jordan asked

'The hospital. Joel might be awake now. He needs me there'
'Are you out of your mind? Have you eaten?'
'I'm not hungry'
'You are not going Mich, its dangerous and I have something important to show you'
'What is it?'
'He took her upstairs, disappeared for a few minutes and came back with a disc.
'I want you to eat first'
So she drank tea and then Jordan sat next to her on the bed.
'Mich, I want you to watch this'
'What is it?'
'Find out for yourself. Lock the door while watching it. I will be back in fifteen minutes'
'Let's watch it together'
'No'
'I've you watched it already?'
'No, I couldn't'
'Why?'
'Find out for yourself'
He left the room. Mich locked her door, and inserted the disc in her laptop. What she saw surprise her.
'Shadrach?', she said to herself quietly.

Nice one tiffany, more ink to your pen.

Thank you dear. How have you been?

After showing Maureen and Leila to their rooms, Tara went downstairs in search of Jordan. She found her mother-in-law and Jordan talking. Not wanting to interrupt her she quietly sat beside her husband. Jordan unconsciously drew her to him and kissed her forehead. He looked at her face, there was no ounce of make-up.
'Jordan, are you listening to me?', his mother asked. She was used to this kind of behaviour from Jordan but she was happy that Tara changed him.
'I will talk to justine about it but I'm not promising, I see no reason why his marriage is making you sat'
'Why shouldn't I? How can he tell me he wants children?'
Jordan went on his feet. He frowned when Tara ran out of the room.
'You see what I'm saying? Look at Tara, pregnant again while Sarah want no child yet'
Jordan followed her out and returned a few minutes later with her in his arms.
'I said I can walk'
'And I said, I want to carry you up'
Alice had seen this kind of argument a thousand time and she had learn to let them deal with each other. They seem to handle themselves perfectly.
'Jordan, please talk to your brother'
'I will mum', he told her as he climb the stairs without looking at her. His mum had also seen the lustful way he looked at Tara. Well, she had gotten used to this too just as she had gotten used to her son passionately kissing his wife whenever he thought no one was looking. Tara? She knew enjoyed this. She would throw her head back and laugh.
'Well, they are young and married', She said to herself.
Back in their room, Jordan gently placed her on the king size bed.
'I need to brush my teeth', she told him
'Okay, let me take you to the bathroom'
'I have two legs, eyes and hands'
'I know Tara. I hate seeing you like this. Why in the hell did you take in again?'
'Cause I want more children'
'But I'm not complaining'
'I am. Now care to tell me what really happened to Joel?'
'You need to brush your teeth'
She went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth all the while thinking of what she had Jordan discussing with his mother. When she finally came back to the room, Jordan was just ending a call.
He removed his clothes and went to the bathroom, took a towel and wrapped it around his waist, then came back to the room.
'I wanna have a bath, care to join me?'
She smiled. 'I've bathed already'
'Won't you help wash my back?'
Tara laughed. She knew what he wanted. He was indirectly asking her if she were strong enough for love making.
'Just washing of back?'
'Maybe something more'
'Like?'
'Kiss, hug etcetra etcetra'
'I think I can do all those'
'Are you sure?'
'Absolutely' she told him and followed him to the bathroom. When they were finally able to emerged, Jordan carried her back to the bed. He laid beside her and drew her to him in such a way that her head was on his chest.
'No work today?'
'No'
'Oh mine! Jordan, I'm here un clad on this bed and I've forgotten that mother asked me to make sure Maureen and Leila have breakfast'
She sat up, Jordan did same. As she was trying to leave the bed, Jordan caught her right leg.
'Don't bother, Shan should be able to handle that. You've taught her already'
'But Jordan mother will...'
'Understand that you are feeling un well'
He kissed her lips and her ear. 'You know Tara, you worry too much'
The door opened and the two lovers scrambled to cover their selves but not before Maureen saw them. She looked angry for a few second and then turned away.
'What do you want?', Jordan asked in a cold voice.
'Your mother said to call Shan'
'Does this look like Shan's room?'
'Oh, I entered the wrong room'
'Even if this were Shan's room don't you know how to knock and wait for a reply before entering?'
'Why are you getting angry? It was a slight mistake. Joel wouldn't have gotten angry'
'Young lady, never you speak to me like this. I take my guardian issue very serious and won't hesitate to discipline you. Now get out of this room'
'Don't forget that I didn't beg to be here'
Tara decided to say something.
'Maureen all he is saying is that its wrong to enter a room that's not yours without knocking'
'What is there to see? Well madam Tara I am not a virgin nor an innocent and I know what the two of you just did'
'So?', Jordan asked her.
'Jordan, you know? I am twenty one and a very experienced woman'
A knock came and Shan entered. She apologized and was heading out when Maureen called her back.
'What is the problem?'
'Maureen, mother said to call you, your food is getting cold'
'Look at your sister. In case you don't know, my brother is dying in the hospital and she just had s.x with Jordan. Don't you think...'
'Shan what are you still doing in this room?', Jordan said calmly but Shan heard the anger in his voice. She ran out of the room. Maureen refused to leave. Jordan was un clad beneath the covers and couldn't leave the room. He pulled Tara to him and kissed her. Then murmured in her ears that she should trust him. He spoke out loud.
'You know Tara, you did so perfect. I can't imagine touching another except you'
'Really?'
'Yea. Are you strong enough for another round?'
'Yes I am'
He began kissing her. She responded and was moaning falsely. Maureen hissed.
'You too are so shameless'
She was out of the door immediately. Tara sat up. She looked at Jordan.
'I think we have a serious problem in our hands'
'Yes, damn Joel but I will teach her one lesson she won't forget'
'What?'
'You should sleep Tara. I will be going down for breakfast'
'Okay'
