They entered staggering,not because they're drunk but because they can't help but laugh at something one of them said at the door step,one of the three friends is carrying a bag that looks like a Ghanamustgo and the content? I don't know.They're three in number,Blessing,Biola and Basirat,though they're laughing together,each one of them have different thoughts going through their mind.
They're just coming back from a dupe mission of one Alhaji,they're not runs girl but they run things when it comes to duping things and this is their biggest hit so far.
"1million Dollars." Basirat shouted as they step inside..
"we're stinkingly rich." blessing added..
"you're right,this calls for celebration." Biola the gentle one among them send.."I'll go get us something in the kitchen." she added and made for the kitchen right away.
She gone,blessing quickly moved to where basirat sat and strike hushing conversation with her.
"what do you think?" blessing asked..
"think as how?" Basirat asked confused..
"about sharing the money...me and you" Blessing quickly said,seems to be in a hurry to end the convo.
"what of Biola?" Basirat asked understanding where she's heading to.
"you know she didn't do much or should I say anything,so we'll have to share the money alone." Blessing said..
'Let's deal with Biola first the you follow' blessing thought.
"what do we do then?" Basirat asked..'Biola first before you follow' she thought..
"here's the plan" Blessing said whispering something to Basirat's ear..just then Biola entered with a tray that consists of 3cups filled with red wine and the red wine's bottle at the center to balance the tray.
She gave each of them their share and she took her..
"to the riches" she said and raised her cup and the others did thesame,clinging their cups gently,they all sipped the wine from their cups,she smiled wickedly.

Five minutes later
Biola is already struggling to breath as she's being suffocated by the pillow which Blessing pressed hard to her face while Basirat hold her leg tight so that she would struggle,it happened too fast that she didn't see it coming and it cost her life,she breath her last went to land of death to face th judgement of her misdeeds.
After killing Biola,the two pick up their wines and make a toast to their success in killing her,they emptied the remaining wines into their mouth and that's when it happened,they both felt pains in their stomach,the clench the stomachs in pains and roll to the floor,blood coming out of their mouth,that was when they realise they've underestimated Biola the gentle snake.

8minutes Ago
Biola got into the kitchen with different thoughts of how to get rid of her friends on her mind,she didn't want to share the money with them,she'll rather spend it alone than have them spend 5naira out of it talkmore of sharing it.
Just when she was about to give up,she remembered the poison an Ashawo friend of her's gave her sometimes back,she didn't know want to collect it then but that friend told her it'll be useful and the day as finally come when it'll be indeed useful.
She dipped her hand into her bra to take a white paper she put under one of her breast,she quickly opened it and dab the content in to of the wine cups and shake it,she reduce the wine in the third cup so she wouldn't mistook the one with poison.She redress like nothing happened and took the wines inside...chapter closed

Blessing and Basirat struggled,writhing in pain as they both rolled on the floor holding their stomachs and after a while,they both gave up the ghost.
