EPISODE 1 My wedding night was the best night of my entire life, one that I would never forget even when I am 100 years old. It was terrific, superb and altogether, mind-blowing. Asides the love, care and pampering, Richard gave me a brand new BMW car as his wedding gift to me. I had never driven a car so Richard made it his responsibility to teach me. I, on the other hand gave Richard a priceless gift which cannot be purchased with hard currencies. I had been extremely scared and nervous that night as I changed into a small lingerie dress in the matrimonial bathroom. Prisca had asked me to purchase that blazing red seductive lingerie for this particular time and now that I had it on, I was scared to death. My hair was let loose around my shoulders and I summoned enough courage to step out of the bathroom. My breath was taken away instantly as I stared at what was before me; the room was softly lightened with red light which transformed everything in the room, giving the room a highly charged romantic atmosphere. I felt shaky instantly but the room was not the reason; Richard sat on the bed with his shirt unbuttoned looking breathtaking. It was always almost impossible to resist him, he is so masculine and during our courtship, it took a lot of self-control from my end to keep us from going overboard especially when we were alone. Looking at Richard now with his muscle-filled chest fully exposed to my hungry eyes made my fingers tingle and I could not help but feel protected with him around. I returned from my reverie (illusion) and noticed that he was already on his feet and with the way his eyes bore into me, I instantly felt self conscious. I remembered my look even without looking at myself and all I wanted was to escape from the room in order to breathe properly. I started picking my manicured fingernails furiously; something I do whenever I am very nervous. Richard must have noticed this cos he slowly moved towards me. Every step he took made me more nervous and my eyes left my fingers to my toes. “You err, *coughs* you look dishy”, Richard said breathlessly. I nodded, unable to say anything at the moment. He moved closer and raised my chin; I was unable to meet his eyes and he smiled softly. “I won’t do anything if you don’t want me to, sweatheart”, he said softly. “It’s… it’s not that. It’s just, I am scared and nervous. I don’t even know what to do”, I said in a fainted voice looking at his chest. “Just be yourself honey, I am fine with that”. I looked into his eyes and smiled shakily, “I don’t even know how to do that”. He laughed a little, “why don’t we both follow our hearts? Right now, I just want to devour you”, he said teasingly and slowly lowered his lips against mine. My heart beat accelerated and in a few seconds, my shyness was out of the window and our instincts took over. Everything after then was magical and exquisite but what I would never forget was the look in his eyes when he severed the barrier guarding my purity. It was a look of extreme surprise, adoration and respect. He had asked me twice during our courtship but I had changed the subject both times because I wanted it to be a surprise and my gift to him. With the look in his eyes, I felt on top of the world and I thanked the Lord in my heart for helping me hold on till this time. ********** ********** It is our second year anniversary and our palace- like sitting room is filled with people ranging from parents, siblings, colleagues, friends and so on. It had been a splendid two years journey and I was so greatful to God for the man I married. I married my husband. Love truly is something everyone should have because there is no happiness that can rival the one you feel when someone loves you with all his heart and you love him in return. I moved from one person to another, welcoming them in my exquisite gown. My parents, Richard’s dad, Tony and Prisca, Prisca’s brothers who were also my step brothers, Mr Badmus and family; and a host of others were present. I felt so loved and honored to have all of them with me. Best Results Hospital (BRH) had now risen from being the best in Lagos state to being the best in Nigeria. Its branches now spread across the entire country maintaining its headquarters in Lagos. Tony decided to stand on his own two months after our wedding after much planning and his own hospital is now making waves. Due to the fame and connectivity of my husband including of course my exemplary work in BRH as the great psychologist, I was now a regular face in the papers, blogs, TV programmes and what have you. A separate building has been devoted to handle Psychological cases due to expansion and regular demands for my attention. I loved it because I did not really fancy working together with my husband in the same building – we would be doing more personal stuff at work… lolzz. One thing seems to be the problem though… “Pat, stop it …… Pat …….” Prisca said as she moved quickly to grab the breakable furniture with her one year old daughter. The one year and three months old Patricia is the exact replica of a doll. She has excess beauty thanks to her parents, and just like her mother, she has hair as black as midnight. She is very lively and energetic that you miss her when she is not around. Prisca replaced the furniture and carried Pat the way only a mother can. I could not contain my envy. Though two years is nothing compared to the stories I hear from people, I still feel like I have spent a whooping ten years without a child. Bloggers did not miss this emblem thus the numerous rumors and gossips. I threw away my blind jealousy and took Patricia from Prisca, she is just so adorable. By carrying her, I have a feeling that my child is on the way. Richard noticed my mood-swing and came to hold me affectionately.Everyone started ranting about the display of love not noticing my mood. Just when the party was about to begin, the door creaked open and before me stood a stunning woman who should be in her mid-fifties. Everyone turned towards her and Richards mood took a downturn. “What are you doing here?” he yelled.

EPISODE 2 We all stared at the gorgeously dressed woman who obviously has had a taste of luxury. She reeked of wealth from head to toe. She looked vaguely familiar in a strange way but I could not remember ever seeing her. I wondered where I must have seen her but nothing came to mind. I stared at Richard who was busy glaring at the visitor clenching his fists like someone in a boxing competition. Why he was so angry was lost on me, he had never been this furious. No one uttered a word and I stood there not knowing what exactly was amiss. “I asked you a question. What the hell are you doing here?” Richard growled with his fists clenched. I grabbed his hand to calm him down a bit. “Calm down honey and show the woman some respect please. Who is she?” I asked quietly but he did not answer. He did not have to anyways. He was only this angry whenever he talked about one person. I looked the woman and got my confirmation – the blue eyes could not be mistaken. Those piercing blue eyes which could do a lot of things by just staring were exactly the same as Richard’s. I looked from Richard to the woman and back noticing the striking resemblance. “Richy, is this your mother?” I asked quietly. Richard’s hand immediately left mine as he turned his glare towards me. “She is not MY mother” he said stressing the ‘my’. I got my confirmation in that statement. The subject matter just stood there speechless and could have been mistaken for a deaf and dumb. Richard looked at his father knowing that this was his doing. “I don’t know what she is doing here and I don’t want to know but one thing I know is that I don’t wanna see her here when I get back”, he said and stormed out of the sitting room towards the masters’ bedroom. The entire room was as though no one was inside as no one made a single sound. I don’t know why I did not stop Richard from leaving the room but I guess my professional instinct made me realize that he needed a little time to himself. I felt his pain and knew just what he must be feeling as I had felt that way too. I raised my eyes to stare at my newly found mother-in-law but she seemed to be in tears. Her voice shattered the silence in the room. “I told you James. He would never forgive me and he has a right not to. I was so callous and wicked to him”, she said obviously to Mr. Branson as tears rolled down her cheeks. Everyone started murmuring one thing or the other while I wondered what Richard would be doing inside the room. “I should leave now”, my mother-in-law said and made to leave but Richard’s dad stopped her. “Wait, let me talk to him first”, he said. I startled, “No… I mean… why don’t you allow me do the talking sir, although I cannot promise anything for now”, I said immediately. Everyone in the room nodded in agreement and I was instantly grateful that we did not include strangers in the ceremony. For the very first time, Richard’s mum looked at me and said, “You must be his wife. You are very pretty and I am sorry for disrupting your party. Please forgive me”. Her foreign assent was undeniable. I nodded and made for the room. ********** ********** “Don’t you think this skirt is too short Oyin”, Ronke asked her friend. Oyinade smiled mischievously. “Nope, I don’t think so. Besides, you know my ultimate goal, don’t you? A hot body like mine and sexy clothes would help me achieve my aim”. Ronke rolled her eyes in exasperation. “I know your plans as much as you do girl and I am with you all the way. You know my popular slogan says, ‘when you see what you want, go for it doing everything you can to get it’. But my friend, you have to apply common sense. You have just been given the job so it would be risky and out of place for you to get a query on your first day at work. You worked very hard to get this job, you cannot throw everything away by being overzealous”, Ronke said. “You have to carry out this plan slowly, portraying the highest level of innocence you can. You should be coy and sneaky, slow and steady; with time you would get rid of the hindrance and be in his arms”. She finished. Oyinade assimilated everything she heard and smiled. “You are a clever snake babe. I would make you my chief adviser on this life project so you have to be with me all the way”, she said dropping the skirt on the bed. She picked her employment letter for the umpteenth time and whispered to herself. “You would be mine very soon. All mine”. ********** ********** I stepped into the room and met Richard roaming from one end of the room to the other. He was trying as much as he could to release his anger but it was not working. He noticed my entrance but continued pacing. “Can you imagine? She actually had the guts to show her face here like she has the rights to”, he said still pacing. I sat down at the edge of the bed and looked at him. “Did you see her face? She looked so sure of herself. What did she think? That I would jump into her arms, welcome her and treat her like she is the most precious person on earth? She must be delusional”. He continued not even waiting for a reply to his previous questions; not like there could be any answer though. When I did not say anything, he stopped and stared at me. “Would you not say something?” I sighed, stood up, took his hands and pulled him with me to the bed. He sat down at the edge of the bed and I knelt behind him on the bed, placed my hands on his shoulders and gently massaged them. “Massage is not what I n…” “Shhhh…” I said silencing him and continued my massage. Gently, I felt the anger and tension ease out of him and he started relaxing. “I need you to calm down and relax honey. Today ought to be a happy day for us, remember? I am just seeing your mother for the first time and it means something to me”, I said as I continued my therapy. “She is not my mother” he said calmly. I left his shoulders, went round him and went to seat on his laps. “Honey, whether you like it or not, you have her blood flowing in your veins. Do you know what it was like to find out that my father never wanted me? He wanted me to be flushed out. I know it hurts but please forgive her. Keeping this grudge in you would hurt you terribly everyday but releasing it and forgiving her would make you happy. Accept it. Deep down in your heart, you know you need your biological mother”, I said as softly as I could. He shook his head, “no, I don’t need her. I have you to be my mother, wife, sister and everything”. I nodded. “Yes, but you need her. Please, forgive her”, I said going down on my knees. He tried to pull me up but I did not get up. “Yes?” I asked with a faint smile. He stared at me, shaking his head unbelievably. “What have you done to me? Alright, would you get up now?” he said and pulled me into his arms. He kissed my forehead and hugged me. “I love you heart, even though you are naughty”, he said with a smile. I smiled back, “well, I am happy she is your mother if not you would not have eyes as beautiful as this”. He scoffed, “I could easily charm you with the generally possessed black eyes, you know?” “You don’t have to charm me; you were made with very potent charm”. He laughed. “Alright baby, lets go and get this over with” he said and we both went back to the sitting room. On getting there, Richard’s mum was nowhere to be found. “She just left, we could not stop her” Prisca explained. Richard looked at me. “Do you see? She is not here. She is no longer around and she never was”. He said and stormed out of the house.

EPISODE 3 Our anniversary celebration had fallen into ruins and I am sure I would not forget it in a hurry. I picked up my phone and dialed Richard’s number again after several fruitless attempts but the phone rang off without any answer. I strolled from one end of the compound to the other in worry, dialing his number continuously. Though, I tried to stop Richard from leaving, he left anyways and I felt terribly angry that my father-in-law could be so thoughtless as to invade one of our happiest moments by bringing his ex-wife. I knew just how Richard must be feeling having experienced first-class rejection myself from the hands of my step- father (Mr. Badmus). I had dismissed everyone to their various destinations – there is nothing to celebrate about with my husband in a bad shape. It is over three hours and Richard is nowhere to be found. I shivered from the cold outside and went back inside to get a jacket. It was almost nine and my husband was not home yet. I continued my phone call as I went into the room only to find Richard’s phone on the bed. I hissed aloud and flung my phone onto the bed, my apprehension increasing a notch. “Where are you Richy?” I groaned. ********** ********** Prisca placed Patricia in her court and placed a good night kiss on her forehead. Even though the room was mosquito free, she still used a mosquito net for pat. She climbed into bed beside Tony and smuggled closer to him to feel the warmth of his body. He held her close and looked into her eyes, “even after a child, you are looking more beautiful darling”. She smiled, “what is with your flirtatious eyes and tone now my husband?” “Well, if I don’t flirt with you, who else would I flirt with?” he asked “you would not dare flirt with anyone. Remember when Richard held Belina today? I was actually jealous. I wanted you to do the same that very minute”, Prisca replied with a smile. “hmmm, you should have told me. You know I would have done more than you bargained for” Tony said with a wink. Prisca smiled but the smile soon faded off. “you know, I would not have taken it likely at all if our anniversary had been ruined like that. Whatever entered Richard’s pop to make him bring that woman there, ehn?” Prisca said with annoyance. Tony had carefully ensured that they did not discuss the party by bringing up other subjects however unimportant because he knew that Prisca was obviously very pissed. He was also very angry and he had felt bad when he saw the sad look on Belina’s face as she told them to leave. “I don’t even know what that woman is looking for. She did not come looking for him long time ago but now that she has become an empty barrel, she wants to reclaim her son. Haaa, human beings are so heartless” Prisca continued. “don’t draw that conclusion honey, that she is back without a child does not mean that she can’t conceive again”, Tony replied. Prisca laughed, “I know what I am saying though I don’t have any proof. Do you think she would be here if one of her rich aristos had married her? Trust me darling; the woman is just here because no one wants her fruitless ass anymore plus Richard is a multi-millionaire, now she wants to eat where she did not sow”. She hissed. ********** ********** Loretta sat down on a chair in her tastefully furnished mini-flat, crying. Though she was presently in Nigeria, her taste, class and desire for luxury was still very much imbedded in her. Ever since she ran out of her son’s apartment, she hadn’t been able to stop the tears from flowing. She remembered the look of hatred on Richard’s face when he looked at her and the tears dropped more. She had done terrible things to him in the past which she considered unforgivable. She had treaded a very reckless life not putting into consideration what it might cost her. She had felt unsatisfied with James because he was unable to give her all the luxury she desired. Whenever he traveled, she would invite strange men into the house for sexual activities, locking her seven years old Richard out. Whenever he cried and protested, she would beat him, drag him out of the house and lock the door until she was done. This happened very frequently because James Branson; her husband; always traveled, looking for greener pasture to make his family especially his wife happy and contented. Loretta finally became fed up and decided to quit the marriage, giving the full custody of Richard to James in order to perform her escapades without the hindrances of a son. Richard’s father, who loved Loretta with all his heart, decided to leave the States for Nigeria in order to be far away from her. Together, Richard and his father had struggled through thick and thin eventually breaking the holds of poverty. Loretta on the other hand, had several abortions which eventually severed her womb. No man could afford to marry her without a womb, despite her rare beauty. She had felt completely alone and miserable until she decided to take the only lifeline she had left. She had heard enough about James and Richard from the news and she knew that it would be even more difficult to gain their forgiveness now that they are rich. She wiped tears of regrets off her face as she heard a knock. She was startled, wondering who might be there. She stood up and went to open the door. “James”, she breathed as she stared at her ex- husband at the door. Mr James Branson entered the house without saying a word, pulled her out of the entrance into his arms, closed the door with his leg and covered her lips with his. He kissed her like his life depended on it. He hadn’t been able to find love in anyother woman ever since she walked out of his life. She was the only woman he ever loved. Since she arrived about three years ago, he had tried his possible best to avoid the feelings that never left him but it kept on increasing everytime he set his eyes on her. Tonight, he hadn’t been able to bare it when he saw tears in her eyes. Loretta tried to pull away but he held her and she gave in. the door flung open and they sprung apart like children caught stealing meat. They both faced the entrance at the same time and Loretta gasped, “Richard”.

EPISODE 4 Richard looked from his father to his mother in utter amazement and shock. He could not believe his eyes. After roaming the estate and road, he had come to the conclusion that it was high time he forgot about the past and move on. He afterwards went about finding out where his mother lived. He did not call his father; neither did he call Tunji or anyone who could probably inform her because he wanted to catch her unawares in order to know the state she was in. He reached into his pocket to fetch his phone only to find it empty with only his wallet. Not willing to go back home without reconciling with his mother, he went to a business centre, bought a thousand naira card in the attendant’s phone, used it to make a few calls and left without even using #100 worth of the card. He got the address and set out to search her out. He had admitted to himself that Belina was right and that he truly needed his mother. There is always a place a mother occupies in the heart of a child. Richard shook his head in regret as his annoyance started showing up in full velocity. He still could not believe that his father could have anything to do with her despite all that she did to him. “What are you doing here richard?” Mr. Branson asked looking uncomfortable. Richard slowly turned his gaze to his father. “I should be asking you that father. What the hell are you doing here with this… woman?” he asked shifting his gaze back to his mother. “c’mon Richard, respect her. She is your mother” “respect. Respect? No. I can NEVER respect her. NEVER. You should not even be the one telling me this, dad. Did she respect you when you were struggling to make her happy? No. Did she respect you when she brought various color of guys to your matrimonial bed? No. (Laughs bitterly). Did she respect you when she slapped you in front of her stupid sex partner when you caught them red- handed? No. Talk of me? she never respected me once; not once. Now don’t talk to me about respect because I am sure she does not know what it means”, Richard said. Mr J. Branson hadn’t forgotten all these but hearing it again made it even more painful. He could not say anything again as he stared into space remembering that day. His world had been shattered into pieces when he saw his wife with a fat white haired man. He had just come back from a trip, a bit earlier than he had proposed because the business did not fall into place. He got to the entrance of the house and met his son crying. He asked why he was there but he did not respond, trying to stop him from entering the house. He neglected Richard’s advice and let himself in with his key. On entering, he saw clothes all over the sitting room and his temperature increased as he began to get the picture of what he might see. He entered the room and the sight before him almost drove him mad instantly. He wanted to be sure he had seen correctly so he closed his eyes hoping that he would see something different when he opens them but his eyes were forced open with a very hot slap by Loretta. She was stark naked just like her partner who sat down at the edge of the bed looking like a fat pig. She had pushed him out and locked the door to continue her act. As he remembered all these, fresh tears flowed out of his eyes and he left the room quietly. Richard looked at his mother with contempt written all over him. Tears threatened but he held them at bay; he hadn’t cried for a long time and she would not be the one to change that. “you know, I actually came here to settle the rift between us now, I don’t care about that anymore. You are just an opportunist and a shameless whore. I am ashamed I came out of you. Get a life and leave my father alone cos he has a respectable wife”, Richard said through gritted teeth and turned to leave. “No Richard, please. I am sorry”, she said pleading with tears. Richard turned at the entrance. “Yes. You should be sorry. Sorry for yourself”, he said and stormed out of the apartment. ********** ********** Prisca woke up to the ringing of her phone. She looked at the phone and was a bit surprised but after checking the time, she saw that it was past nine. They always had the habit of sleeping early ever since she got married to Tony. “What’s up girl?” she asked immediately she picked. “Prisca…” Belina said over the receiver with a shaky voice. Prisca became fully awake in an instant. “What is the matter Bell, have you been crying?” “Richard is not back yet, is he over there?” she asked “what do you mean he is not back yet? He is not here. Have you called him?” she asked. Tony was already awake, staring at her curiously. She put the phone in speaker and Belina’s voice filled the room. “he left the phone in the room and I have been calling him up until I went into the room and saw his phone there. Since he left, he hasn’t returned. I am scared something might be wrong with him”, she said obviously crying. “relax honey, he’ll be fine. We would –”she was saying when she suddenly heard ‘richard’ over the phone and the phone went dead.

Episode 5 I stared at Richard as he entered. He was obviously very angry but I didn’t give a damn. He did not notice my tears and I wiped it off immediately. “where are you coming from sir?” I asked sarcastically. He rubbed his palm on his head. “see, I can’t explain anything now?” he responded I was taken aback. “You can’t what? You better start explaining. How dare you leave the house in the middle of an important celebration in our lives, come back this late and give me that crap? Do you know how worried I was? I called how many times? Let me check… 42 times, only to find your phone inside and now you tell me that you can’t explain anything now?” I lamented. “Alright, sorry. Are you ok now?” he dropped coldly and stormed into the bedroom. That only made me angrier. My anger increased several degrees but I kept it inside. My tummy was screaming for food but my mouth was not ready to accept anything. This is a thing that occurs whenever I am angry. I entered the room and started changing my clothes. Richard was in the shower and I did not care because I was in no mood to have any bath at all, besides, I took my bath before the party began and I did not dance or do anything that would warrant another bath. The anniversary was just a total disaster. I wore a nightie and got into my side of the big bed. I pulled the blanket up to my chin and switched off the bedside lamp. I closed my eyes as tears flowed down my cheeks. I pinged Prisca, telling her not to worry that Richard was already back, switched off my phone and placed it beside the lamp. I heard the shower go off and Richard step out. I pretended to be asleep but I knew that Richard was not easily fooled. The light came and I felt him seat in front of me. “sweet heart. Lina” he called but I did not respond. He gently kissed my checks and went to the other side of the bed to sleep. More tears slipped out of my closed eyes unhindered as I remembered all the events of the day.

I like diz couple. Don't worry lina he will explain to u.

EPISODE 6 *** I woke up with a banging head and a rumbling stomach. It was like my head was being hammered and would be shattered in any minute. I looked at the other side and saw Richard sleeping soundly. I stood up and went into the kitchen to fetch a pack of juice. I poured myself a glass of juice and drank it at a go. I took part of the food from yesterday and put it in the microwave. I poured myself another glass and sipped. In no time, I was eating at the table in the kitchen. I was so famished that I did not notice Richard’s presence. “I am also hungry” I was startled on hearing his voice but I gained composure almost immediately. “Good morning”, I said and stood up to fix him something. We would be preparing for church anytime soon and I was already envisaging a very long day now that I did not plan to talk to Richard. I ignored his ‘how was your night’ reply and focused on what I was doing. I put the food in the microwave and I turned only to find Richard right in front of me. “Allow me” I said staring past him but he did not give in. I stared into his eyes with a renewed anger propelled by the remembrance of his cold utterances the night before and repeated my earlier statement. Richard closed the distance between us and covered my mouth with his in a deep long kiss. My anger just seeped out of me with each passing second. When we broke the kiss, he looked into my eyes. “I am sorry. I should not have behaved the way I did yesterday, I was just so angry at the moment” he said. I pounded his chest in a play-like manner and said, “don’t you ever do that. You really got my blood boiling” He smiled softly and kissed me again and the sound of the microwave separated us. We laughed, ate our food and prepared for church. The headache was nowhere to be found when we were through. Monday happened on us and we were in for another week of work. In order to have enough time for each other, Richard had rearranged the roaster in the main hospital and I had done likewise in BRP Hospital (Best Result Psychology Hospital). We were not to work on weekends except exceedingly critical cases. Richard was already in his black pants and shirt around 7 o’clock and I stretched lazily on the bed. Richard picked up his tie and smacked my buttock. “c’mon, get your lazy butt out of bed preety, it is Monday morning.” “oh… leave me alone joor. If you had allowed me to sleep peacefully yesterday, I would not feel so weak”, I retorted. He smiled, looked at my fragile form on the bed and shook his head. “you should have known better than to put on that tempting lingerie. Where the hell did you get it by the way?” I snickered, got out of bed, went to the wardrobe and pulled out another tie. “you don’t need to know that baby boy. Your fashion sense is so outdated” I said and replaced the tie he had on. I knotted it and adjusted it in the right places. “yes. Perfect”, I said in delight examining him after a job well done. He stood there, looking at me with a smile playing on his face. His eyes roamed my body slowly making me feel self conscious and uncomfortable. I looked at myself and saw what it was – I was clad in his night robe which was extremely big for me. The sleeve was too long that it covered my entire arm including my fingers while the gown spread out on the floor like the tail of a wedding gown. I smiled, imagining what I must look like and started laughing. Richard laughed slightly and pulled me into his arms. “you look like a five years old girl in her mothers clothes” he said and I raised my chin defiantly. “but even in this over-sized gown, you are more than enough temptation” I blushed and tip-toed to kiss him but he backed away at the last minute leaving me stunned. He covered his nose with two fingers. “sorry honey, I very much wanna devour your mouth but you’ve got bad breath today”. Alarmed and embarrassed, I examined my mouth and did not perceive any offensive odor. I frowned , raised my gaze to him and saw him grinning gaily. I folded my fist and would have landed it right in his stomach if he hadn’t jumped out of the way. He grabbed his briefcase and hurried out of the room. “I love you”, he said and jumped out of the room in time to avoid the shoe I threw in his direction. I continued to stare at the door moments after his departure and smiled. ‘I would so get my revenge’ I said to myself as I entered the bathroom to prepare for another week. ********** ********** “Today is a dream come true”, Oyinade said as she gazed at herself in the mirror. Oyinade is someone you would say has excess of everything. She is neither fat nor slim, she is somewhere between. She has a bust that gives her a tough time with tops, though, she would gladly reveal her cleavage for all eyes to feast on. Her backside was also a perfect match with the load she had in front. Following Ronke’s lecture on ‘firsthand innocent appearance’, she had searched for a cloth that is cooperate and does not reveal too much of her God- given asset but did not find any so she went shopping, thanks to a very good account. It hadn’t been easy getting into BRH. She had given up her well-paying job in a growing hospital when she heard of the vacancy in Best Results Hospital. Several people went for the job with breath-taking qualifications,though she was also very good, she knew that she would have to go the extra-mile. After scaling through to the final interview, she had deliberately dressed to seduce, knowing from research that mostly men handled interviews in BRH. The two men could barely take their eyes off her body as they asked questions that were irrelevant to medical environment. After the interview, she had roamed the environment until all the candidates were out. She sighted one of the interviewers, approached him and found her way into his bed, sealing her place in BRH. There surely is no place in Nigeria without corruption. “Today, I finally meet Richard Branson after years of day-dreaming”, she thought with a smile. “He would soon realize that I am far better than that barren tramp he has in his mansion”.

EPISODE 7 Ronke sat down in bed, cornflakes and milk in bowl, surfing the net. She doesn’t work but spends all the money she wants just because she has decided to make her body work for her, not publicly though. She is what you would refer to as a private prostitute. Her accommodation, car and everything she had in her possession came from men who were not contented with their wives and could not withstand her exceptional ability in bed. Presently, she wasn’t on twitter, facebook or any social media as was her usual way of passing time and getting men who could ‘spend’, she was researching into the private life of Belina Branson popularly known as Mrs. BB. Being a popular person, much of her private life was open to public glare despite her desperate attempt at making her private life private. After researching for few minutes, she stumbled on a very exciting info and smiled tentatively. “Oh… Oyin baby, you owe me one. You are definitely blessed to have me. Our plan just got better”, she said to herself, picking up her plate of cornflakes, chewing with delight as she stared at the screen. ********** ********** Richard sat down in his office, files in hand. He checked his wristwatch but it was not 11 am yet. He had ensured that a work file was placed on Oyinade’s table before her arrival as was done to every new intake in the hospital. A tour round the hospital was the first assignment she had to carry out with the aid of her secretary but she was to meet him 11 am. He hated people with the ‘African time’ mentality and he wanted to test her on that first. His intercom rang one minute to eleven. “let her in”, was his response and he praised her internally for successfully passing the first test. Oyinade walked in elegantly and successfully hid her joy at seeing him at such close range. Apart from being one of the youngest millionaires in Nigeria, he had an exceedingly stunning exterior that almost made her knees weak. He had a powerful presence which could ooze the air in a room, leaving you breathless. “Good morning Mr. Branson” she said. He responded likewise, pointed to a chair opposite him and she sat down. Richard did not for once take his eyes off the file he was studying as he rolled out her duties. “well, miss Adeyanju, I just have a few minutes so listen attentively because I won’t repeat myself. You are going to take part of my workload here because my table is overflowing. In my absence, you are to cross- check all the patients in the hospital and attend to my patients. You already have the file in your office to tell you your program for the week. Any other thing asides these would be relayed later. Any questions?” he flipped through the pages of the file like someone reading a very fascinating novel. Oyinade was stunned beyond words, not by the things he was blabbing but by the fact that he hadn’t spared her a glance, despite her perfume. She thought of a question which could require him to look at her but could not find an intelligent one. “No sir”, she replied. “Good. That’s all for now then”, he said as farewell. Oyinade gathered her ruins, stood up and left the office. While Richard smiled faintly in his office as he continued to inspect the files on his table, Oyinade was busy pacing her tastefully furnished office in anger. She picked up her phone and dialed Ronke. Without any pleasantry, she launched her cause. “I need to take this up a notch Ronky. I went to see him now and he did not even glance at me, despite my very expensive perfume. That witch in his house has clouded his mind”. Ronke sighed over the receiver and said, “Calm down babe, I’ve got a plan”.

EPISODE 8 I sat down in my office fighting an inner battle. My inability to have a child was giving me so much turmoil. Every time my period skips a day, I buy pregnancy test sticks to test myself personally with the hope that it would turn out positive. The calendar has now become my best friend and I never passed a day without checking the calendar. It was like an addiction. I had attended to a patient who was scared about her pregnancy because it was her first and she had been told that the first issue is always very difficult. I had advised her carefully, assuring her that she would be fine. She became very calm and enthusiastic, asking me if I had children of my own. She apparently is not someone who follows gossips if not; she would not be asking me that. I was flushed with all kinds of emotions but I did my best to hide it while she was there. I told her that I was still expecting and she was sympathetic saying that she knew I would be a very great mother. Immediately she left, the tears I had kept at bay came cascading down my face. I checked the date again and saw that it was not even close to my date. I had so many baby things given to me as wedding gift over two years ago but they are all still brand new. I dried my face with a hankie but my spirit was still down. An idea struck my mind and I was immediately on my feet. My pastor always preached about taking a leap of faith and that is what I am going to do – I am going to decorate my child’s bedroom. I passed on duty to my assistant, picked my bag and headed home. I remembered Richard told me he just got a new assistant and that I was to meet her today for introduction sake but I already felt weak. I sent a message to Richard, explaining to him that I was a bit down and needed rest, knowing that he would call soon. I entered my car and zoomed off. ********** ********** Oyinade arrived home and flung her bag on the sitting room couch, frustrated. Apart from her initial encounter with Richard Branson, she had been ignored every other time she came in contact with him. He barely even glanced at her twice, throughout the day despite her deliberately cunning approaches. She had initially thought today would be splendid but she ended up feeling low and humiliated even though Richard did not do anything physically to warrant her humiliation. She had called Ronke on her way so she was not surprised when her door flung open with Ronke letting herself in as was her usual habit. “BRH baby, ki lo n se e? Talk to mummy” Ronke asked immediately she entered, heading straight for the refrigerator to fix herself a drink. Oyin hissed and narrated everything to Ronke all over again even though she had done that already on the phone. Ronke drank slowly while Oyin rattled on. When she did not stop talking and Ronke was already tired of hearing, she screamed until she stopped and was glaring at her. “What’s your problem girl? Did I not tell you I have a plan? Aahhh, I tire for you o” Ronke said exasperated. Oyin eyed her annoyingly. “You dey craze. Why you no talk am since u enter? You dey there dey drink my expensive wine”. “Just shut up and listen. When you are through, you would know that you owe me, big time” she paused to sip her drink, deliberately taunting Oyin. Receiving a stern glare, she smiled and continued, “You would have to put up with Richard’s coldness for a very short period. Before you can carry out any other plan, we need to create conflict between them. We need to break their trust in eachother” “OK…” Oyin said impatiently. Ronke continued. “So, I made a research today and discovered the perfect tool to use. Belina had an Ex who is crazy about her. He is still unmarried and I believe he is still in love with Belina. After searching for a while, I got his facebook address and after going through most of his status uploads and some other things, I noticed that he still has feelings for her so we need to get him because he can help us create the discord we need. There is no love as strong as your first love. Do you grab?” Oyin assimilated this for a while and smiled, appreciating Ronke the more. “OK, so how do we contact this guy, genius?” she asked cynically and Ronke smiled, very proud of herself. She brought out a little piece of paper which had a phone number written on it and held it out. Oyin’s eyes widened in surprise and admiration as she collected the paper; “You little witch. How did you get this?” “Very easy. The man actually made his phone number public on facebook, I guess it worked to our advantage” she said grinning. “But what if he doesn’t accept to do this?” Oyin asked what had been on her mind since the launching of the topic. “Then, we would have to persuade him. A good amount of money should do the trick but if his male ego won’t accept it, we would give him something no man can refuse. You know…” she said smiling slightly. Oyin got the message and smiled openly. “You are evil”. “We both are. You realize you owe me big time, right?” “Of course. I know that you are not free babe, not even to your friend”. Ronke laughed while Oyin dialed the number.

EPISODE 9 ********** ********** I finally finished the arrangement and decorations and I stood appreciating my efforts. All the toys and decorations adorning the room created a child-like feeling and aura that would definitely draw children like magnet. When I left the office, I had made straight for a toy shop. I bought everything my heart fancied. Buying those things brought hope and joy that I would have a child – my child – who would play with them. Even though I knew that I would not let a room separate me from my child at night, I knew that he or she would grow old enough to own a room like this one. I had created time to put something on the fire before Richy arrived because he surely had a lot to do at work being a Monday. Richard had called immediately he got my message, asking me thousands of questions and giving loads of instructions like, don’t stress yourself, rest, eat, sleep, etc. I quickly ran into the kitchen with the fear that the food was already burning and I got there just in time to take it off the gas. I was hungry but too tired to eat so I went to the sitting room to wait for Richard. Immediately I hit the couch, sleep enveloped me. I woke up some minutes later to the touch of Richard’s hand. He kissed my forehead softly and smiled. “How are you sweetheart?” he asked and I smiled faintly, a bit dizzy. He looked at me closely like he was studying a lab specimen and frowned. “You look worn out. Did you work up yourself?” he asked. I looked away and narrated all the events of the day from the time the pregnant lady came into my office to the time I fell asleep on the couch. He looked at me and when I was done, he pulled me into his arms, placing my head on his broad chest. “You know I love you, don’t you?” he asked softly and I nodded. “You know God loves us and knows what is best for us, right?” he asked again and I nodded. “then, you have to believe and know that God sees our desire for children. He has given us children only we cannot see them physically. That we can’t see God does not mean he does not exist but we live by the assurance and believe that we would see him someday. The same applies to this; we cannot see our children physically but we are not barren. Don’t lose hope, honey. God tests married couple in various ways, this is our test, we must pass it. OK love?” I nodded and held him close. Even in a thousand years – if I am still alive – I would love my richy. He kissed me deeply and held my face in his hands. “Can I see the room now?” he asked with a smile and I grinned at the thought of what his face would look like when he beheld my mastery. I jumped up and pulled him along like a child would her father. He was flushed when he saw the room. His eyes rotated from my face to the room and around the room in utter disbelief, probably trying to imagine how I did it. He pulled me into his arms and kissed me. “Well, you should be ready to give birth to a whole football team because children would beg God to be sent here if only to touch these things” he said smiling as he lifted me off the ground into his arms. “Woah…” I yelled laughing and struggling to leave his arms. “I am hungry” he said breathlessly. “Well, there is food in the kitchen” “The food can wait” he said covering my lips with his.

EPISODE 10 Another week of work has passed and I am happy to have Richard all to myself. Even though we have been married for two years now, it felt like two months. I went out jogging and Richy’s lazy ass decided he would rather stay up in bed. He had worked himself out the previous day and all he could do was eat and sleep when he arrived. We had a gym room filled with exercise equipments but I preferred outside jogging. Our estate – Richbel Estate – which is owned by Richard and I, is a quiet and beautiful place filled with flowers and beautiful works of art. The estate had twelve houses in all and the design of the estate was a sight to behold. Gazing at the beautiful statues and flowers as I jogged made me feel on top of the world. Richard had made the entire week so pleasant for me. His gifts and gestures made me feel so special. The bouquet of flowers, the lovely gold wristwatch and many things he did including calling me every now and then when he was less busy made me feel so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life. I did not even remember the childlessness issue. I still hadn’t seen his newly employed assistant but I did not really care as long as she was not doing anything ‘personal’ with my husband. Richard has given me every reason to trust him and I knew that I would trust him with my life, if necessary. As I jogged back to the house, I started thinking of what to do for him. I wanted to do something special in return. His mother crossed my mind. No matter how hard he denied it, I knew he still had a section in his heart devoted to her. I had seen him secretely gaze at her picture about three times, admiring her exquisite beauty. I knew it would be difficult but I also knew without a doubt that he would feel a whole lot happier if he let go of the pain he feels. Richard lay on the couch with his head on my lap. I toyed with the little hair he had as we discussed the movie we were watching. Just then, someone arrived at the door and judging from the voices I heard, I knew exactly who was there. I rushed there to open the door. “Hey Pric, what a surprise, I am so happy”, I said hugging her. I gave Tony a brief hug too and felt someone tugging at my cloth. “Aunty Beyina, aunty Beyina” I looked down. “Oh you little lolly, come here” I said and lifted a giggling Patricia into my arms. I kissed her cheeks and tickled her. “She has been calling your names all week. How are you guys?” Prisca said sitting down. “Well, we were having a sitting room honeymoon before you arrived” Richard said with a smiling face. “Woah, I hate to feel we disturbed you guys. You can continue while we watch” Tony said and we laughed. I looked at them. “Well you all look good in your shorts and small tops especially my little lolly here, where are you going to?” I asked “Well, we were off to the beach for a little fun so we decided to stop over to see if you would love to come along” “We definitely are coming along, right honey?” I said with a look in Richard’s direction. “Uhhh… no” he said with a suspicious frown then slowly smiled. “Of course we are going. It’s been a long week and a wonderful time at the beach is perfect”, he said and got up dragging me along with him to the room to have a change of clothes. **********

EPISODE 11 Kelvin left his abode despite the inner battle he was fighting. He told himself that it was best to have nothing to do with Belina but he neglected that voice in his head. He had received that phone call about five days ago and hadn’t been able to rest from a strange lady whose name he could not remember. She had called on Monday evening, mentioned her name which he forgot immediately, and talked about things that were none of his business. He already had his thumb on the red button of his phone when he heard her mention the name he had tried hard to erase from his memory. His interests had been pricked and, try as he may, he could not turn down the offer of meeting the lady in person. Though, she did not mention the real reason for calling, he surely wanted to find out as long as it had to do with Belina. The very day she had got married, about two years ago, he had drunk himself to stupor knowing that he had lost a good woman. He was finding it hard with women because he always compared them with her. His hatred for Richard Branson grew at an alarming rate but there was nothing he could do against a public figure. ‘I don’t even have any rights over her’, he thought. He arrived at Da Queens Hotel and asked for Room 45, following the instructions sent to him via text. He was at the door barely two minutes later and he gave the door a slight pat. The door flung open and directly before him stood two exceedingly tempting ladies. His eyes roamed their bodies hungrily. “Hello ladies” he said breathlessly. They smiled and invited him to the bed to sit. He cautioned himself and put up a passive front. “Can you make this weird meeting as fast as possible? I have an appointment”, he said. Oyinade moved in her micro-mini gown to the chair opposite Kelvin, sat down and crossed her leg intentionally. Kelvin’s breath became caught in his throat and he diverted his eyes towards another direction; a wrong choice of direction because the other was virtually naked. He had had enough. He jumped to his feet instantly. “What is the meaning of all these? Did you call me here to be seduced?” Not the reaction I was expecting, Oyin thought as she said calmly. “We are not seducing you, you are probably imagining things. Please sit and let’s get down to business”. She said. “Then, make it snappy”, he said sitting down forcefully. Oyin removed a piece of paper and handed it over to him. “Everything is written there. I don’t want to say it because the walls have ears”. Kelvin scanned the paper and looked up. “You girls must be crazy. I won’t do this to her, and even if I tried, she won’t make it possible. She despises me and even if she didn’t, I won’t do this to her” he said with a straight face. For the first time that evening, Ronke spoke. “Oh c’mon, we all know that you are in love with her. Yes, you offended her but you apologized right? Everyone needs a second chance. All we are asking is that you try to get her back while she also tries to get Richard back. As you have read, Richard was her boyfriend some years ago and she loves him so much and wants to get him back. I am sure Belina still loves you because you are her first love, you just have to try”, she said. Amazing what the mixture of lies can do. Kelvin was silent; probably thinking. Oyinade decided to back her up. “I am sure she would accept you back, with the right approach. I am also willing to pay you five hundred thousand if you accept” Kelvin looked up. “The money is too small, do I look broke to you?” he said slowly. “We don’t have more money”, Oyin said impatiently. “Let’s make another deal. I take the money and bed both of you together four times for a month, meaning once a week. Do we have a deal?” he said hoping that this would make them change their minds. Oyinade looked at Ronke who was busy with her phone. Getting a signal, she looked at Kelvin and said. “Deal”

EPISODE 12 We strolled on the beach enjoying the fresh air. We decided to leave the water play for the last activity as we chatted, laughed and made jests of one another, coconut drinks in hand. The coconut water itself which is sold at the beach is so fun drinking when you have straw inserted in it. A horse man came in our direction pulling two horses. He must have sighted us from afar and decided to make some money out of two wonderful couples. “good evening ladies and gentlemen” he said approaching us. “Would you like a ride?” “as long as it is free” Tony said jovially and we all laughed slightly, including the horseman. Richard looked at me slightly. “Well we would definitely like one” he said to the man, looking at me. “What? You know I have never been on one. It could throw me over or something. I could break my neck, my legs or even my… my back” I said nervously. He smiled. “Don’t worry sugar, you would not even break a nail, I assure you” he responded. “Let us have one” he said to the man and took one. Before I even thought of protesting, I was already off the ground and was on the horse’s back. I looked stupefied as I stared at Richard on the sand. “You can’t be serious” I said. “Don’t be scared now babe, I am here with you” he said and got behind me. His closeness did two things to me – it made me feel protected but it also made my heartbeat increase its tempo, not from fear though. His closeness always made me feel nervous. Tony and Prisca were already ahead of us with Patricia in Prisca’s firm grip. Richard, fully aware of the effects he had on me, moved even closer making my breath ragged. I felt his smile even without seeing him and I was slightly upset but I knew everything he was doing also had its effects on him too. “Shall we go sweetheart?” he asked and I nodded nervously and vowed to retaliate. I moved backwards intentionally, relaxing fully in his chest and he trembled slightly; my senses told me it was not from the breeze. “I need to focus honey, you are not making it easy” he said. I smiled. I placed my hands on his legs tenderly without warning and the horse stopped moving abruptly. I was shocked initially but later started laughing. He is not so powerful after all. He breathed deeply and said matter-of-factly, “that was not so funny”. I laughed more. “It is good to retaliate” He scoffed. “That is not the behaviour of a good Christian” “What? I beg to differ my prince, I am sure this section in the husband to wife relationship is excluded” I said with a grin. “You can do everything to make me edgy and you expect me to fold my hands and accept it all?” “I was planning on teaching you how to ride a horse but you are not making it easy for me.” He said moving his palm through my hair. The horse resumed its catwalk again and I tried to focus on everything he was saying about how to propel a horse to movement. We caught up with Tony and Prisca who seemed to be having a wonderful time. The horse moved close to the water and it seemed like I would be deposited in it. I told Richard and he smiled, reduced my fear by moving away from the water. He stopped and looked at me. I craned my head backwards to look into his eyes. “Did you enjoy yourself honey?” “Yeah, a lot. But for the record, I would rather not ride with you next time” He laughed. “Don’t tell me I have that much effect on you” he said coyly. “Of course not” I said looking away. “Uhn”. Richard enclosed my mouth with his and my guard was thrown overboard. We kissed for a while and when he released me, I was slightly dizzy. He kissed my cheeks and my forehead, gazing into my eyes. “I think I would rather ride with you next time” I said and he grinned. “What about a race?” we heard Tony say. We had forgotten totally about them but they were also too involved with each other to even notice us. “That’s perfect” I heard Richard say but Prisca and I started protesting until they put us down in order to satisfy their own desires. I took Pat from Prisca and said, “I think it is good this way, I want to talk to you about something Pric” “Girl, what do you think about Richard’s mother?” I asked Pric as we watched strolled on the beautiful sand of the beach. “Sorry Lina but I don’t like her one bit. She has no right whatsoever to come after Richard after so many years. I am sorry to say this but she is just a gold- digger.” She said in one breath. I sighed. “I don’t know if I am being stupid but I want to re-unite Richard with his mother” “That is ridiculous. To me, that woman is more harm than good. The earlier he forgot about her, the better for everyone, including you.” She might be right, I thought. The woman is a bad influence and having heard so much about Mother-in-laws,I was not sure I would like to have one. But am I not being selfish?

EPISODE 13 I left work very early on Tuesday, two weeks after my adventure at the beach. The work must be taking its toll on me because I was feeling physically weak. My physical weakness was not going to stop me from going to church but I wanted some time to rest so I left earlier than usual. Informing Richard did not cross my mind because all I wanted was going home, having a shower and sleeping. I entered my car and zoomed out of the hospital premises on top speed. I was just about a half way through the journey when I noticed the flat tire at the driver’s side of the car. I must have skipped it in my rush because it was at zero level. This struck me as odd and strange because I just had the tires changed a week ago. This is frustrating, I thought as I parked beside the road to see what I can do. What does a girl know about a mechanic’s job? I dialed my mechanic but his number was switched off. I did not sight any roadside mechanic so I did what anyone in my situation would do – do the job myself. I got out my spare tire from the boot, my jack and wheel spanner. Just as I was going about my business, a car parked in front of mine but I was beyond caring. I placed the jack under the car and started pumping it in order to lift the car. “Who do we have here?” I heard behind me and the voice registered immediately I heard it. I turned slowly and saw the very person who owned the voice. “what are you doing here, Kelvin?” I asked surprised that he was actually there and even more surprised that I could recollect his voice. “I was just driving by and saw you. I don’t need to look twice to recognize you, even in the dark.” He responded with a smile which I found increasingly annoying by the minute. “That’s great. You can go now, after all, you can see that I am busy”. I said and continued my work. “No” he responded sharply. “I can’t possibly leave you here to do this. I am sure you don’t have the slightest idea about what you are doing. Don’t let me pass the chance to save a damsel in distress, especially when the damsel is you. What happened between us should be in the past now. We are Christians”. He said and with feeling? I can’t believe it. I looked at him feeling slightly irritated. He gently shoved me aside and took over the job without permission. I folded my hands across my chest as I watched him fix the tire almost effortlessly. Something told me that this is no chance meeting and I kept that thought at the back of my mind. He was through about 15 minutes later and I thanked him for his help but he blocked me unexpectedly as I made to enter my car, causing me to bump into him. I righted myself and faced him with a questioning glare and he backed down. “I just… I just thought we could have a drink nearby, you know, to catch up on lost time” he said. “Oh… I don’t think it would be a good idea. You know, having people see us together might create a wrong impression and I would like to avoid that. I am happily married and I don’t want rumours getting in the way of my happily ever after. Seeing that you are not wearing a wedding ring, it suggests that you are not married, so it is best to stay away from your Ex in order to encourage ladies to look in your direction. Besides, we are Christians, right? Thanks again and have a nice day” I said in one breath and before he could think of stopping me, I was already in my car with the doors firmly locked. I pulled out and headed home. ********** ********** Oyinade moved confidently towards Richard’s office to give a report about some patients. Her dressing would be described as anything but descent. Her skirt was tight enough to display the enormous load she was carrying and her shirt was not able to withhold the overflow of flesh and her cleavage was in public display. She had decided that the foreplay was long overdue; she needed to get what she wanted. Richard raised his eyes when she entered and his eyes seemed to linger a bit more than they usually did, she noted with satisfaction. She did not wait for permission before she sat down, crossing her legs in front of her. Richard noticed all these gestures but did not say a word. She set about her job, using her most fascinating voice and trying to be as accountable as possible. When she was done, all she heard was, “Alright, you can leave now” from her boss. She stood up slowly and was at the door when she heard Richard calling her. She smiled victoriously but faced Richard looking indifferent. For the first time, Richard faced her fully. It was as if he was seeing her for the very first time. “Why are you dressed so indecently?” he asked suddenly. Oyin was speechless. That was not the question she was expecting. “You have to always remember that this is a hospital and not a hotel. If you wish to remain in this hospital, holding the position you presently are, you would have to dress moderately. Do you understand me?” he said with seriousness written all over him. Oyinade’s throat became thick. She could not stand the humiliation. She muttered her apologies and vanished to her office where she cried tears of disgrace and annoyance. She picked up her phone and dialed Ronke’s number. “Carry out plan B now” she ordered immediately Ronke picked. “What is the matter again girl, that is not our plan” she heard over the receiver. “I don’t give a damn. Do it now” she yelled and the line went dead. She started pacing the office in anger

EPISODE 14 Richard could not understand the ploy of his assistant. She had been exceptional with her work ever since she came but he could not fathom why she would dress so exposing. He had noticed it the previous day and kept quiet but seeing it repeat itself today sent a warning signal. It was as though she was bent on seducing him or someone else. He hadn’t meant to embarrass her the way he did but he could not think of a better way to present it if he wanted a change. Men are not stones and if he could control himself, he could not say the same about the other guys in the hospital. Belina had disapproved of her immediately she saw her for reasons he could not understand but he knew that she always trusted her instincts and her judgements are often correct. His Phone beeped notifying him that he had a message and he stopped what he was doing to check it. He also wanted to call his wife to find out how she was feeling, so in a hurry, he opened the message but what he saw gave him a chill. It was not terribly bad but he still could not imagine it. He read the message and enlarged the picture attached to it. The sender of the message was not identified but that was not his problem. He stood up from his chair immediately and left his office. ********** ********** I lay in the bathtub feeling slightly better than before. The warm water made my nerves settle and I felt good within few seconds. Remembering my encounter with Kelvin, I scrubbed my body clean because I didn’t want to have anything to do with him. We are Christians, I remembered him say. And so what? Was he not a Christian when he tried to have his way with me, knowing fully well that we were not married yet? Was he not a Christian when he got that harlot to his bed, thinking he would be able to persuade me with that ridiculous act? He must be out of his mind if he thinks he can come between me and my husband. All these went through my mind as I rinsed, toweled and left the bathroom. I remembered that Richard always became slightly edgy whenever Kelvin’s name came up in a discussion. He hated what Kelvin did to me and always emphasized his desire to punch the daylight out of his guts for what he did to me. Thinking of Richard, I remembered that I did not tell him I would leave the hospital early. I was about reaching for my phone when it rang. The number I.D was hidden and I hesitated. I did not pick up the first time but the call was repeated. I picked and placed the phone on my ear without speaking. “Hello” I heard a female voice say over the receiver. “Yes? Who am I speaking with?” I asked “Please, is this Mrs Belina Branson?” she asked instead of answering my own question. “Yes. Who is this please?” “I would like to remain anonymous ma. I love you so much and I have read a lot about you and what you have been through. Your story is very touching and inspring. I know you but you don’t know me. I admire your inner and outer beauty and that is why I am not happy with what your husband is doing ma”. I was surprised. “What are you talking about” I asked curiously. “Your husband is cheating on you ma” I heard her say. “What?” I yelled. “You must have someone else in mind. I am sure of it” I said confidently already feeling irritated. “No ma’am. He is cheating on you with the lady working with him; that lady with huge buttocks and breasts. Believe me ma, I usually see them together and I even saw them kissing one day in the eatery not so far away from the hospital. I know you would not believe me but remember, I warned you”. “Who are you and who sent you?” I yelled but the line was already dead.

EPISODE 15 I stared at the phone still wondering what was going on. I was beside myself with rage. The girl sounded sincere but I couldn’t see myself believing a word she said. I remembered that I had felt an instant dislike towards that Oyinade girl when I saw her over a week ago but I could not place my finger on what the problem was. I had told Richard what I felt but he had defended her saying that her work had been impeccable since she entered BRH. I knew my instinct was almost always right but could my earlier anxiety have anything to do with Richard. He hadn’t given me any reason to doubt him and his love for me since I met him so why should I doubt him now? Could he cheat on me? ********** ********** Richard got to BRP Hospital and on getting to Belina’s office; he was informed that she was already out. He knew that the cloth she wore was the same with the one in the picture but he could not imagine her seeing that despicable guy for whatever reason. He knew calling her would be bad because he might accuse her, which would be unfair since she hadn’t given him cause to doubt her love for him. He knew she could not cheat on him especially with that guy but he could not understand this; plus he was her first love. He rubbed the back of his palm against his forehead. Who even sent it? He wondered since there was no I.D. He went back to the office and saw Tony waiting for him. He invited him in without the usual hugs and funny guy to guy chats. “What’s eating you bro? You look distant and pale” Tony asked immediately they were on seat. Richard sighed. “Its… personal” he replied. “Personal” Tony repeated and laughed. “Since when did you start having personal issues that I can’t hear about?” Richard stared for a while then stretched his phone towards Tony. Tony scrolled through and saw a message with the words, “check this out”. Below it, he saw a photo of Belina and a guy in what seemed to be a hug. “Oh… I see… Jealousy is eating you up. It is just a hug man, nothing more. He must be her friend. You know Belina better than that” Tony said confidently. “Yes. It is just a hug, only he is not her friend. That is Kelvin. Her ex. Her first love” Richard lamented. “Ok, calm down” Tony said, looking at the picture again. “I don’t get it. I know she despises him, so what is she doing with him?” Richard said standing up. “Well, since you know her, you should not doubt her faithfulness. It would be unfair to accuse her wrongly pal, she may never forgive you. If you ask me, this does not look like a proper hug”. He said inspecting the picture again. “But it is definitely something, right?” he retorted. “Who sent it? Or are you keeping tabs on her?” “definitely not. I also don’t know who sent it. The number is hidden” Tony stood up and went to meet Richard where he was, by the window, looking outside. “You guys have come a long way. You are married. Not just a new couple but you are two years into the marriage. You should know that people are jealous of the relationship and love you have both maintained till now and they want to destroy it. Don’t allow them. I would advice you to take this out of your mind. I am very sure that Belina loves you and would not hurt your feelings this way. I can vouch for her” Tony said. Richard smiled faintly. “Thanks man” he said honestly, feeling better. “Not a word of this to Prisca, please” he said as an afterthought and Tony nodded.

EPISODE 16 The silence at home that evening was awkward. I could not understand anything. Try as I may, I could not get the phone call out of my mind. I had cancelled church for that day when I could not pull myself together. Richard also seemed very distant; I could not understand the reason for this or if I was just assuming things. “Richard? Are you alright?” I asked after a while. He nodded, saying he was ok but I was not convinced in the least. Richard is a quiet person but not that quiet, especially not when I am around. I swallowed and made for the bedroom. I can’t tell him. It would be unfair and unreasonable. He does not deserve that. I would not do anything until I have strong reasons for doing it – I am sure I would find none. I lay on the bed feeling more miserable than ever before. Richard’s silence this evening was not making things any easier. I felt burdened and even my physical weakness seemed to have doubled. My eyes suddenly became blurry and I closed my eyes tight. I vibrated from shock when I felt someone touch me. I hadn’t noticed Richard’s entrance into the room. He looked at me with concern written all over him, placed his hand on my head and his frown deepened. “You are running a temperature” he exclaimed. “It is just stress, I am fine” I said, trying to dismiss his worry. He shook his head. “You are not fine. Sit up” he ordered. I obliged and within the twinkling of an eye, he transformed from a caring husband to a doctor. His eyes did the job of inspecting every inch of my body, feeling my temperature, checking my eyes and all other ceremonies doctors perform. I was getting tired of the scrutiny and I voiced my thoughts but he would have none of it. He finally concluded that I was being stressed up and I made the face of ‘I told you so’. He said I was to do a proper check-up at the hospital, then asked me to relax while he went to fix me a cup of tea. He got back with a cup of steaming hot beverage and a sachet of painkiller tablets ranting my need for a house help. The house we live is a big one and the maintenance could be tasking at times but I did not see the need for a house help when my hands were functioning to capacity. Being at work everyday of the week asides weekends and maintaining the house was his basis for argument but I was not overwhelmed because he always lent a helping hand whenever he was home. He pampered me, forcing the drugs down my throat with continuous encouragements.Looking at him as he did all these, I found it increasingly impossible to believe a word I heard from the anonymous girl. I found myself forgetting everything I heard and relaxing. I slept soundly that night to my amazement and I woke up the next morning earlier than usual. I saw Richard sleeping peacefully too and spared few seconds to gaze at him. He looked gorgeous in his sleep and even when he was sleeping, I had to agree that his male arrogance and confidence was evident. I went to fix breakfast and went to the room to prepare the bathtub for Richard. I wanted to make up for the doubt I had in him by doing something, anything, even though he did not know anything about it. Immediately I finished what I was doing, Richard’s phone beeped signaling the entrance of a new message. I was surprised because it was just 6 am. The message alert did not seem to awaken Richard, so I picked up his phone. It might be MTN and their silly messages, I thought; the name I saw was far from it though. The sender of the message was Oyinade. I could not believe my eyes. I checked the time again and it was as before. Everything I heard and every doubt I felt came rushing back in full force. I dropped the phone carefully and left the room in a hurry. My vision became blurred as tears filled my eyes, clouding my sight. Perhaps it is an urgent message, I told myself. I tried to assume the message was a coincidence but the conviction did not hold water. “Honey” I rotated and looked at Richard like I would a villain as he approached. I must pull myself together, I thought, righting myself and putting up a passive front. He did not seem to notice any of these though because he approached with a concerned face. “Good morning sir” I said quietly. “Morning honey, and what’s with the ‘sir’” he asked looking at me critically. “Why are you up baby? You should be resting. How are you feeling?” he said all at once and I shifted uncomfortably. He touched my face tenderly and my body reacted to his touch as usual. “I am feeling better” I lied. “Since I couldn’t sleep back, I decided to fix us breakfast and prepare the bathroom for you”. He looked into my eyes, searching the way he does when he knew something was wrong. “You look troubled”. I widened my eyes as if bewildered. “Why should I be?” I looked away. “Come and have your bath” I said, pulling him like a small kid into the room. He followed without question though I knew he must be curious. He started undressing, still looking at me critically and I turned towards the wardrobe, not only because I felt he might find my doubt in my eyes but also because I still found his nakedness alluring. “You received a message. Have you seen it?” I asked feigning disinterest. “Oh…” he said grabbing his phone. Something seemed to pass through his face which I couldn’t understand. Is that surprise or anxiety? I shifted my weight from leg to leg, nervously. “Who is it?” I asked. He stared at me, knowing instantly that my attitude was linked with the message. Why am I so transparent to him, I asked within myself. He seemed to find it easier, reading my thoughts when I had the professional look on. “It’s Oyin”. The name seemed more of an endearment than a name to me. Oyin; meaning honey. This kept repeating itself in my head repeatedly. “Oh…” I breathed. “And what did she want at this time?” I asked, consoling myself with the fact that he hadn’t lied to me. “Nothing important” he disappeared into the bathroom before I could turn back. I glared at the door, my anger spiraling over the edge. I marched out of the room with my legs pounding hard on the tiles. I was sorely tempted to go back to check the message myself but I could not bring myself to doing it. He never kept anything from me and never stopped me from browsing through his phone but I just could not check this message. I don’t even want to know what is there, I thought, lying to myself. I killed the gas, my appetite gone, even though I didn’t really have one before. Richard was already out of the bathroom when I returned. I went about setting out my clothes. I saw a faint smile playing on his face but I didn’t even think of it. He saw what I was doing and started lamenting my need to stay at home due to my health. He complained that I was putting up a brave front just to avoid staying at home but I told him I had an important patient to attend to. It was a lie but I could not sit back at home while the person I loved the most was being taken away from me. He asked me to come to the hospital for a check up and I nodded. I would definitely go there. There is someone I need to have a boss’ wife to staff discussion with.

EPISODE 17 Oyinade got to work earlier than her usual time. She had to visit BRP Hospital. She was sure their efforts the previous day were yielding enormous results. She had seen Richard’s grim face when he left the hospital. She arrived at the building looking for Tunde. He had been making advances towards her but she never obliged or noticed him. She had had enough, having to sleep with Kelvin, alongside Ronke once a week – a threesome. She needed a break since that was finally over. “Hey Tunde” she said flirting with her eyes. He looked surprised and pleased. “Hey beautiful, to what do I owe the pleasure of your attention today?” he asked coyly. “Aaahn, it is not like that now” she said. “I guess you need something then” he breathed, moving closer to her. She nodded. “A little favour. I want to surprise my boss’ wife today but I don’t want to be caught unawares. You know the things you do to secure your position? Would you mind alerting me when she is coming over?” she asked, playing with his tie. “One date for one favour” he cooed and she hastily nodded, knowing she had to get to her office before Richard arrived. They exchanged numbers and she was off. ********** ********** Richard sat in his office expecting his assistant. He hadn’t sighted her throughout the day and he became worried. He had sent his secretary to call her since she was not responding to her intercom but he had seen none of them. Her bad dressing had instantly left his mind the moment he received that message about his wife. Thanks to Tony’s visit, he had been able to stop himself from doing a stupid thing by confronting Belina. Despite that, he had been cold towards Belina when he got home, always suspecting her movements and stupidly forgetting her state of health. His doubt had been taken over by worry when he felt her temperature. The sms was out of his mind as he took care of her. His assistant’s indecency never crossed his mind till he read her text message this morning. The veiled jealousy he saw in Belina’s eyes and actions pleased him because it showed her love for him. He however knew that he could not tell her anything about Oyin’s innocent actions because it would reinforce her doubt in the poor girl. Oyin had felt so bad that she had sent a message, though too early; apologizing for her actions and claiming she might not be able to face him because of what she did. She was apparently trying to gain attention since her fiancé was not giving her enough. Richard felt bad for condemning her the way he did. “Sir” his secretary called from the entrance “Where is she?” Entering, she replied, “Sir, she might not be able to come. She seems to have an emotional breakdown. She was crying when I saw her sir” she said looking concerned. Richard’s guilt increased as he stood up. “Thanks. You can go now” ********** ********** I got out of my chair with obvious frustration. My temper and emotions had been all over the place since morning. I just couldn’t get two people out of my mind. I concluded on confronting Richard and having a long chat with that Oyin of a girl. I had the conviction that Richard would not have extra-marital affairs even though that was the routine with men these days. He can’t betray our love like that, I thought as I left my office. I stopped by to give my secretary instructions before leaving. ********** ********** Oyinade heard a knock on her door and smiled. She had anticipated this. She knew Richard didn’t like feeling guilty for anything. She had learnt that within days of working with him. She deliberately went to the door without asking who it was, framing up crocodile tears. She gave Richard enough time to see her tears before hurriedly mopping her face. Richard became angrier at himself for being so violent the previous day as he entered Oyin’s office for the first time since she became his assistant. Oyin deliberately opened the door slightly enough for anyone to see what was going on inside. She just hoped that someone who gossips would see them. Her phone beeped on the table but she was unaware of it. She was so preoccupied with the joy of finally having Richard’s attention, though; she covered it with a dull emotion-stricken face. She faced Richard. “I am sorry sir; I am a bit indisposed right now. You were right to reprove my action yesterday sir. My fiancé is seeing someone behind my back and is treating me like trash. I felt I wasn’t woman enough and I wanted attention from whoever could give me. I…” she broke down in tears. Richard tried to console her with words but her tears just increased in tenacity. If there was something he was always confused about, it would be how to manage a crying woman. He was so glad that his wife was not the crying type and once she was moved to the point of tears, he was always shaken to his soul. He held Oyin’s shoulder but instead, she collapsed in his arms, crying all over his chest. He held her awkwardly, not knowing what to do with each passing second but he didn’t have to do that for long as the door creaked open. Standing before him was a familiar face, looking alarmed.

EPISODE 18 I stood right there, at the entrance of Oyinade’s office, staring in utter shock. I could not believe my eyes. Oyinade was definitely oblivious of the fact that I was in the office as she held on to Richard like a lifeline. Richard tried to detach her on sighting me but she clung to his shirt, too busy crying. I had left my office for Richard’s, when I saw Oyinade’s door open. I wanted to bypass it and come back later to see her but a familiar shirt stopped me. The alarm went off in my head as I stepped closer and I instantly became convinced that Richard was there. I did not remember common courtesy which required me to knock before entering, I just pushed the door wider and there, before me was Richard holding a crying Oyinade to his chest with his arms all over her. Richard pushed Oyin away and her shock was evident when she saw me. Tears filled my eyes to the brim but I refused to give them the pleasure of seeing me in tears. I ran out of the office which was already chocking me. I heard Richard calling but I ran out like a crazy love-struck teenager to the amazement and shock of the staff. Thank God we had a staff entrance and the patients could not see me. I could not hold the tears as I ran, it came cascading down without stopping. I could not stop, no, I could not. I felt like throwing up, and I did. Thank God no one was there. I felt Richard’s approach even before I heard it. I sprung to my feet, desperate to get as far away from him as possible. He called me over and over but I turned a deaf ear, wiping more tears from my face but it didn’t stop. Richard grabbed my hand fiercely from behind. “What is wrong with you, Bell? Would you at least let me explain” he yelled, looking angry. I shook myself out of his grasp. “Let me go” I shouted “What you saw was nothing. I… she was going through an emotional breakdown caused by her fiancé and –” “And what? And you decided to offer yourself as a substitute?” I said with pure anger. He looked outraged and pained. “What? You don’t trust me? for how long have you had that doubt honey?” he said folding his arms around his chest. “That girl told me… she told me yesterday but I did not believe her. I trusted you cos I thought you loved me” I kept on lamenting, vibrating with tears of anger and hurt. “What nonsense are you saying? What girl? What did she tell you?” I was confused. I just could not stop my tears and even though Richard was deeply angry and hurt, he could not bare to see me cry. I saw it in his eyes. I became very dizzy and everything rotated around me. I felt Richard’s arms around me in an instant but I still summoned strength to ask him to get his filthy arms away from me. He did not seem to hear because he never left me and I passed into a realm of nothingness. ********** ********** Oyinade jubilated like she never had in her life. She never expected things to turn out the way they did. She had merely wanted to put ideas into Richard’s mind by pressing herself to him. She could not imagine anyone being immune to her charms. She had also hoped that if luck shined on her, she would have someone see them who could carry the gossip to Belina. She had planned on seeing Belina though, just to taunt her with words but she doubted that they would have very far known that she was a psychologist and could deduce truth from lie with a glance. A wide, evil grin spread across her face as she dialed Ronke’s number to give her the good news. ********** ********** Richard held Belina in his capable hands, racing towards the hospital. His heart was pounding wildly even though he knew that she just fainted and would awaken soon. “Bell… sweetie c’mon wake up” he kept on saying as he carried her. He entered through the staff side and some of the staff members were around him in an instant. They placed Belina on the stretcher and wheeled her into one of the rooms. Richard was denied entrance and he stood outside fuming in veiled anger which was just a camouflage for the deep worry in him. He wanted to vex his power and authority as the head and owner of the hospital in order to enter but he knew that the doctor was doing what he was paid to do. Apart from that, he is not one to be found guilty of pride. If he had been in a better state and if it hadn’t been Belina, he would have guessed what the matter was without waiting for the doctor’s report. He would have guessed it right from the start but some things just skips you when you are with the one you love. Doctor Felix approached with a smiling face. Even if Belina were awake, Richard still could not see why he should be smiling happily. “She is alright sir but asleep now” he said still smiling. Richard breathed deeply as a sign of relief, still curious though. Doctor Felix was deeply happy for the couple as he had been part of their waiting period. He is a year older than Richard but he respected him more than he could ever respect someone five years older than him. Apart from Richard being his boss, he had taught him humility. He treated everyone equally and even though he was probably the youngest millionaire in Nigeria, he was not puffed up with pride. The same goes for the ever beautiful Belina, he thought. The relationship Richard shared with his wife was one that he would wish to have if he finally found the right person. He held Richard’s gaze with a grin, wondering how he could have missed that fact considering his unequalled doctorate skills. “Congrats sir, you are going to be a father” Richard blinked and swallowed hard. “W… what are… what are you talking about?” he stammered. Kelvin expected this. “Your wife is pregnant sir”

EPISODE 19 Ronke dropped the phone with smiles all over her face. It had been fun and interesting, using her semi- tatafo voice to shake Belina’s trust in her husband. She was very convinced that things were falling in line. Luck even seemed to smile on them because Belina walked in on Richard and Oyin, making it look like a confirmation of what she had heard. She knew that money would be at her beck and call if Oyin becomes the apple of Richard’s eyes. She would be able to extort money from Oyinade as much as she liked, but what if Oyin tried to prove stubborn then? Blackmail would come in handy then, she thought. Surely, she would not risk having their secrets out in the open. ********** ********** Richard entered the room Belina was with tears clouding his sight. He was almost never moved to tears but now, all he wanted to do was cry tears of joy. He knew the news came at the wrong time but uncontrollable joy was the only thing he could feel. His heart was filled with pride and love. The one you can only feel when you become a father. Even though he could not see a child physically, he could feel the child’s presence. He could not believe he had skipped the fact that she might be pregnant. He could have easily put one and one together and arrive at this same conclusion. How could he even assume she was when they had believed God for the fruit of the womb for over two years? He was sure that despite Belina’s anxiety, she never suspected the possibility of her being pregnant. He sat by his sleeping, marveling at her increasing beauty. They had had a fight, a misunderstanding; but even her distrust could not stop his heart from beating wildly when she was near. He bent over and kissed her forehead tenderly. She had mentioned a girl, he remembered. Who was that? What did she say? And why was it yesterday? All these went through his mind within seconds but it was overtaken by his heart felt joy. ‘you are going to be a father’, this went through his mind again and he wanted to scream. He placed his palm on Belina’s tommy, feeling his child inside and the tears he tried to hinder flowed down his face. He wanted to explode. He had to tell someone. He left the room in a hurry to make a few calls. ********** ********** Oyinade went about her duty with smiles of victory on her face. She had successfully created a discord in that house. Now, the only thing she had to do was seduce him while putting fire in that house continuously. She spotted doctor Felix, being more lively and happy than usual. She had heard people gossiping about Richard and Belina with long worried faces but she had assumed that it was due to the way and manner at which they both left her office. She hadn’t noticed the whole drama where Richard carried an unconscious Belina back to the hospital. “Doctor?” she called curiously “Miss Oyin, hope your day is going on well” doctor felix faced Oyin. “Very well” she said, meaning each word. “What is going on? You look very happy today”. Apart from being an exceptional doctor, Doctor felix is not one to be trusted with a secret. Whenever he is happy about something, he tells as many people as possible. “Oh… I am very happy. Mrs Branson was brought in by her husband after she practically fainted” he paused for emphasis. This delighted her. The shock had definitely taken its toll on her. She knew though that Doctor Felix could not be smiling because of this, so she pressed on for the full gist. “Oh my God…” she gasped feigning shock. “And?” “After reviving her, I discovered the obvious. She is pregnant” “What” she exclaimed, her blood draining from her face, leaving her as white as snow. ********** ********** Richard got to his office to pick up his phone and call his dad, Tony, Prisca, everyone his mind could think of; but reason took over him. His wife had to know about her pregnancy before any other person. Besides, she is pregnant person. He terribly wanted to explode, so, he exploded to God by thanking him and thanking him until he was sure God had acknowledged his appreciations. He made for BRP Hospitalto take everything Belina had brought to the office. He would surely not allow her lift a finger. As soon as she awakens, his work for the day would be over because he would take her home to take care of her properly even if she wrestled with him due to their earlier fight, he vowed. ********** ********** Kelvin had been sitting in the mini reception room preceding Belina’s office in BRP Hospitalfor over thirty minutes. He had been waiting for Belina but luck was definitely against him today. Even though he hadn’t planned with Oyin and her accomplice to meet with Belina today, he felt he had to rekindle the fire of the love they had once shared hastily before it was too late. Seeing Belina had erupted emotions he had tried hard to bury and he had vowed to claim her back. He had used his own hands to destroy the wonderful love they had and he intended on creating it back. “What the hell are you doing here?” Richard said through gritted teeth as he stared at the last person he wanted to see. Kelvin rose upand faced his adversary.

EPISODE 20 Oyinade got back to her office groggily. She had developed a splitting headache immediately she got that shocking message from Doctor Felix. Pregnant? How can that stupid witch be pregnant? She wondered. She could not understand why everything always gets complicated whenever she arrived at a little level of victory. She had expected many things to happen;the most expected was an open fight featuring Richard & Belina. She had expected everything to get scattered & messy between them while she played innocent,lamenting her guilt to Richard with a sober face; none of these were to happen though. She can’t be pregnant, she hummed in her head. Not when she had already gone this far. She left her office & within seconds, she was on her way to the room Belina was. It might be good to play on her emotions. *** Prisca inspected the stock with one of her sales girls giving account. She had quit her stressful banking job when she was expecting Patricia. The job was too much to handle & Tony,who had been on her tail as to leaving the job, had forced her to resign when she was heavy. She however hadn’t regretted her actions because Tony made it up to her and ensured that she did not sit idle at home doing nothing;something she hated with passion. He had opened a boutique for her where she sold all kinds of clothes. She had a section for native materials and another for normal day to day clothes,majorlyoffice wears. The boutique was practically the biggest and most patronized of all the boutiques around. After going through all the stock, she noted the goods they needed to order and asked the girl to place the order. They couldn’t afford to run out of stock. Prisca went into her office happy that her business was booming and also that her staff were happy. They loved her dearly and she always had private discussions with them from time to time, finding out what was going on with them and offering words of advice. Her mind had been on Belina since yesterday though. She didn’t know why but she felt something was going on with her. She had always had that bond with her ever since they were best friends, knowing nothing about their relativity. She called her phone and pinged her severally but she was not responding. She decided to go over to BRP Hospital. *** Kelvin glared at Richard with measured despise. His hatred for this man had grown over a period of time and he could feel his desire for a physical combat increasing as he stared at the arrogant idiot. Richard stood tall with confidence & strength. His face was a veiled expression of what he was feeling on the inside. He had the ability to look calm at the battle front,with his face revealing no emotional feeling at all; this single trait made him look more dangerous no matter the opponent her faced. His build also always gave him the upper hand considering his athletic build. His desire to deal with Kelvin had never left him but now that he had the opportunity to satisfy that desire, he realized that he could not bring down his reputation by stooping to his level. He deliberately blinked his eyes slowly as he re-emphasized his question. “I said, what in Hades are you doing here? “I am here to see Belina. Is there any crime in that? Or does her marriage to you restrict her from having visitors?” Kelvin replied, spoiling for a fight. Richard did not move a muscle and his face still possessed no emotion, giving Belina’s secretary a slight shiver “Is there any problem sir?” she asked her oga at the top. “Yes. It seems our young man here has lost his way” he replied not facing her. Then to Kelvin, “I would give you the grace of moving your filthy self out of here before I have men bundle you out” Kelvin shifted as if to ascertain that his two feets were firmly rooted, then glared. “I would like to see you dare” Richard smiled. “I was actually hoping u would say that”. Before Kelvin could blink, he was surrounded by three hefty men. He was oblivious of the time Richard pressed the secret button of his phone. “You would pay for this” he growled as he was picked up by one of the men,struggling,kicking and screaming like a little child. *** Prisca arrived at Best Results the exact time Kelvin was being bundled out. She parked her car just in time to see d hefty guy drop him like a bag of beans. He surprise & bewilderment did not stop her from going over. Kelvin was busy raining curses on the men who just turned back and left him there, foaming. She covered the distance separating them with quick strides; her concern not on his welfare though. “Kelvin” she breathed, thinking her eyes might be betraying her. He spun like an automatic machine with a glare stamped on his face. On sighting Prisca, his frown & anger seemed to deepen. “What under heaven do u think u are doing here?” she asked alarmed. Kelvin hissed “Have I not had enough of that ridiculous question? What else do u think I am doing here?” he growled.

EPISODE 21 The ever bold Prisca can never be bullied by anyone,no matter the size. She folded her arms. “If you think you can create havoc in a peaceful home by presenting your infuriating self, you have me to deal with. Do you understand?” Kelvin laughed. “Yeah, right;the tigress. No wonder you and Belina are siblings;birds of a feather. You are just opportunists. Tell me: how were you able to plant urselves in the houses of rich men? You are bloody gold diggers.” Prisca’s hand hit his face hard, making him unbalanced for a few seconds. He had never hit a woman before but he couldn’t take this. He started lifting up his hand to retaliate. “u try it, it would be the last thing you do” Richard said,approaching from behind. “I would personally pummel ur filthy self with my hands until your face becomes a living mess.” The anger was fully displayed on Richard’s face now and with one glance,Kelvin knew that what he just said would come to pass if he as much as tried to prove stubborn. He gave both of them equal rounds of glare, and then he bounced off, leaving Prisca & Richard. ** I opened my eyes feeling slight discomfort. I had become used to d hospital environment & having patients on sick beds since my husband is a first-class doctor but being d one on the bed is not something I am fond of. I tried to sit up &succeeded with slight discomfort. I felt it was awkward & a little surprising that Richard was not with me. My memory was not lost, I was intact, so I could remember vividly,what happened before I passed out. It hurt deeply remembering but a part of me still wanted Richard around now. Does it mean I have actually lost him? It can’t happen. I would fight for him with d whole of my might. All these went through my mind as I tried in vain to lift myself off d bed. I felt too weak &knew that if I could even muster strength to stand, I would fall. I suddenly felt a presence in the room even b4 the door closed. I knew it was not Richard though, I would know his approach anywhere. I turned thinking it would be one of d doctors but it wasn’t. my gaze collided with Oyinade’s & in place of a doctor, I saw a harlot. I deliberately kept my cool, not giving her the hint of victory by getting all worked up; something I learnt from Richard. She hasn’t won. Infact, she is far from winning; I said to myself. He is my husband & if I am still Belina, she has no place in his heart, I vowed. I smiled coyly, hiding my desire to jump out of d bed & tear off d filthy- looking wig she had on. “what do u want?” I asked She seemed surprised & confused but she composed herself. “Ma’am, I just want to apologise for what u saw d other time. It would never happen again.” She breathed looking guilty. I smiled. “I am sure it wouldn’t dear; very sure”. Again, that confused look flashed through her face. “madam” she continued with a struggle. “I know u must hate me now. You have every right to. I did not want to agree to it when he proposed it. I wanted to refuse but I could not control my heart” she said with tears brimming in her eyes. My interest was pricked. “Agree to what?” I asked attentively. She sniffed. “He said u couldn’t give him a child. He truly loves u & he did not want to pressurize u so he came to meet me. He wanted a child in order to please his father who was becoming concerned. I did not agree at first cos I love him.” She paused as if to see my reaction. I gave none as I stared at her not betraying any emotion “Yes ma’am. I have loved him even before I actually met him. I have seen him times without number on TV & I have developed undying feelings for him,& though I tried to kill it, I only ended up increasing my desires for him. I did not want to destroy ur family but in d end, working with him seemed more than I bargained for,& the heart goes where d heart goes. “I wanted to be with him even if it is just for a moment & also bear his child. I had refused ever since he told me & had been pestering me, but today, I was just confessing my love for him when u saw us.” She paused, trying to stop her tears. she hurriedly held my hand, kneeling down. “please don’t tell him. He made me promise not to tell u but I could not bear d hatred with which u looked at me. He loves u & I respect that even though it hurts me. You are a woman like me & I know how u feel now but pls,don’t take him away from me. My heart won’t take that. What he wants to do would help u too. In our place we have an adage that says, ‘ori omo ni n pe omo waye’, meaning, ‘a child’s head can call another child to life. Maybe when I bear him a child,u would too. Don’t take him away from me. I love him &can’t bear to lose him” she pleaded & left d room in a hurry as if escaping. I had heard more than enough, too much in one day. My head was spinning & d room was going round in circles. I pushed myself back to a lying position. I stilled my eyes,sternly preventing d emergence of tears but I could not hold them back as they came tumbling down.

EPISODE 22 Loretta drove her car at a high speed. The frustration she felt was enormous &she had no one but herself to blame. All efforts at reaching Richard had been fuitile & she was growing desperate. She had called once but immediately he knew that she was d one, he had hung up & since then, his number had been unreachable. She needed his forgiveness. She needed someone to love her. She isn’t used to being unloved. She had loved James Branson but when he became poor & retched, she had to throw away what she felt for him & find greener pastures – something she regrets now beyond words. She knew she still felt d same way about him & that d feeling is mutual & reciprocated but she knew that James would not leave his wife who stood by him through thick & thin for her. She knew that & therefore was not after him but after her son. She does not espect James to ever forgive her. But Richard? My son hates me, she thought painfully. It tore at her heart & tears clouded her sight. She was heading towards BRP Hospitalto talk to Richard’s wife. She had found out that there was almost nothing she asked for which she wasn’t given. She is d key to Richard’s heart. ‘she might be able to beg Richard on my behalf’ she thought She turned right into macdonalds driveway on top speed, not seeing d pedestrian crossing d road. “Jesus…” she screamed, rather too late for d car to stop miraculously through divine intervention. She ran into d pedestrian, knocking him down instantly. ** The door opened & in came Richard and Prisca. I hadn’t been able to compose myself ever since Oyin left. My heart was shattered & seeing Prisca after about a month did not even bring a smile to my face. “Leave”, I said bluntly & audibly even before they made it to my side. They both paused by my bed. The fact that I had been crying was not lost on them. “u don’t want me here? What’s wrong?” Prisca asked bewildered. I raised my eyes to glare at Richard. “Please tell him to leave Pric” I said with tears forming in my eyes. Prisca was even more shocked than before as she looked at me as if I had suddenly grown horns. I saw it in the way she looked from me to Richard,not understanding what was going on. She had never seen us have a disagreement before; no one had. Richard just stared at me blankly, not portraying any emotions but he seemed angry. Why should he be? I wondered. I am d only one permitted to feel anger. He left d room without uttering a word to me. The tears I held at bay tumbled down as I held on to Prisca. I secretly wondered why my emotion was all over d place. I used to have control over my emotions, not crying or showing any signs of weakness but recently, little things move me to tears. The confusion was evident on Prisca’s face as she held me in her arms but she kept quiet, allowing d tears to flow ceaselessly. u were wrong to do that girl” she began after I had gathered some form of composure. “Whatever d matter might be,u shouldn’t have done that,especiallywith someone around” she said. I kept quiet knowing that there was an element of truth in what she said even though I was not looking for rebukes but approval;trust Prisca to give u the undiluted truth always. I struck Richard’s male ego with my actions; that I saw very evidently written on his face. “Are u going to tell me what the matter is?” Prisca asked. I opened my mouth to speak but was interrupted by an intruder. Doctor Felix entered d room with a smile on his face. Despite my inner turmoil, I found his smile contagious. I smiled for the first time that evening even though it did not reach my eyes. “It is good u are awake ma’am, how are u feeling?” he asked with that funny smile still playing on his face. “I am fine, thank u doctor” I lied and I could imagine Prisca rolling her eyes. I maintained my smile though, not letting out any pain. “You need to rest, especially now. You would have to rest a lot, eat lots of fruits & avoid stress. You would also come for Antenatal classes regularly, so that u can be monitored. Congrats ma” I would have pursued d ‘ma’ issue but I was already too confused & dumbfounded to do that. Prisca also seemed dumbstruck as she stared at Doctor Felix with open mouth. “What are u saying?” I managed “Oh… I see ur husband hasn’t told u. You are pregnant; one month, 2weeks gone” My breath caught as I gasped at d revelation.

EPISODE 23 Richard sat down forcefully & his chair squealed from his harsh approach. He could not fathom what was actually going on. He had been in perfect harmony with Belina, barely four days ago & now, they were not even seeing eye to eye. The side of Belina he saw today is a part he had never seen before. He almost could not recognize her. He hadn’t had a cause to question her faithfulness until he got that weird message. He had been able to dismiss it, only for that son of a bitch to show up in her office today, looking so calm & sure that he would be given audience. It would have been manageable if the doubt was on his side only but hearing Belina’s words made it obvious that she also had doubts. A pile developed in his throat as he remembered the words she spoke out of anger & spite. He opened the weird message again, resisting the urge to delete it. He had taken his time to study Belina. Her earlier action hurt terribly but he knew she must be hurting terribly. He couldn’t see her behaving that way just because of a mere hug. She had seen him hug so many people without acting up. Now, there’s the girl she had mentioned. Who the hell could that be? He pondered. The door opened. He didn’t know if the person had forgotten the courtesy of a knock or if he simply did not hear it. “Is everything alright sir?” he recognized d voice as Oyinade’s. What does she want now? He wondered. “Yes. Leave” he said as gently as possible, raising his head; his face blank. “But sir,u look..” she was saying when Richard’s glare made her memory go blank “I said, leave” he said loud enough to be heard by a deaf man & Oyin vanished from sight within seconds. He did not feel sorry for yelling at her. She is part of the reasons why he is having problems. *** Prisca left Belina at the entrance of Richard’s office after much persuasion. She hadn’t heard d cause of their discord cos they had been too busy jubilating. The jubilation of being an expectant mother had taken over the dull moment. Belina’s face had transformed from the sad angry one to a joyous one within the space of seconds. She had jumped out of the bed instantly,jumping up & down like a little kid at the sight if a wrapped gift. Doctor Felix had to calm her down,reminding her of her condition. Prisca had held on to Belina, very happy that God had finally answered their prayers at last. After a while she had carefully explained how wrong Belina was to have talked to Richard the way she did earlier in their happiest moment. The fact that Richard already knew she is pregnant was Prisca’s basis for argument. She refused to hear any of Belina’s attempts at justifying her actions. She told her that she would hear of it after she had made peace with Richard. Prisca called Tony excitedly to inform him “Hello honey” she said & turned on motion suddenly due to over-excitement,bumping into someone. Her phone left her grasp, falling into ruins on the floor. The lady she bumped into was busy ranting her need for a glasses; she was obviously very angry even though it was not her phone that was smashed. She busied herself with picking up her phone but looked up just in time to catch a glimpse of d person she bumped into before she left. The face she saw looked familiar but she couldn’t place it. She looked like a doctor with the way she was dressed but something was odd about it. She tried desperately to recollect exactly where she had seen that face & after a few seconds, she opened her mouth slightly in remembrance, wondering what that lady could be doing in BRH. THREE WEEKS AGO Prisca had left the boutique to meet a long lost college friend in Da Queens Hotel. Patience, her friend, had traveled abroad immediately after their time in college & had called unexpectedly, announcing her arrival in Nigeria. Prisca had left to meet her excitedly in the hotel she was lodged in order to get re-acquainted with her. She arrived at Da Queens Hotel, had a long chit chat with her friend & they were both on their way out when they saw two ladies. Patience had seen them first & whistled silently. Prisca was also taken aback when she saw the ladies. They were almost naked. One of them wore a bum short knicker which stood the risk of tearing due to her large bums with a tube top. The other, which was d most bizarre of them, wore a micro-mini skirt which almost could not do justice to covering her extra large bums; she had on a see-me-through top which exposed the largest part of her double sized boobs. They looked financially comfortable & Prisca could only imagine them in one profession – prostitution. Patience said she thought that was only done in America & other white countries & Prisca had agreed with her. ***** Prisca opened her mouth,not really understanding what that harlot was doing in BRP. And in a doctor’s uniform? Belina should be able to explain something. To be continued...

EPISODE 24 I stood outside Richard’s office seconds after Prisca left, not really sure I should go in. I pressed the door knob &went in. Richard’s head was on d table, I had no idea if he was sleeping or thinking. Seeing him still made my heart beat quicken. I coughed slightly & his head shot up. “I should not have behaved the way I did; I am sorry”. I blurted looking directly at him. He just looked at me,not believing a word I said. He stood up slowly & came over to stand in front of me. I could see what other women saw in him: he has a presence which beats others. His gaze can make a woman’s knees turn to jelly. He took my hand without a word & led me to the long couch in his office. He gently pushed me to a sitting position, looking into my eyes intermittently. “How are u feeling now?” his gentle question made me feel small due to d way I had behaved. The reason for my anger faded out of my memory as I looked into his blue eyes. “Why did u not tell me we were expecting a baby?” I asked instead of answering him with tears gathering in my eyes. He smiled genuinely. “You did not allow me to, baby” he said. I noticed a tear drop almost escaping his eyes & I was instantly overtaken by emotions. This is not what I want. We need to settle our issues. “How can I allow u when-” “Shhhh…”he said, silencing me with his finger against my lips. “Let me just hold u now, sweet. C’mon” he said, pulling me into his arm. All I wanted to say fled as his hands enclosed around me. His fast & steady heartbeat pounded in my ear as I placed my head on his chest. We remained in this position for a very long time. “You remember the first time I kissed u? The very first time I held u in my arms as I feasted on ur sweet honeyed lips?” he asked as he caressed my lips with his thumb, making me go crazy with desire. How could I not remember such an unforgettable experience? “It was then I vowed not to ever have anything to do with another woman sexually till death do us part. You represent everything I have ever wanted in a woman. You should trust me honey. Better than u are doing now”. He pulled back to gaze into my eyes. The disappointment that was evident in his voice & face tore at my heart & being. I was confused; totally confused. I did not know what to do or say so I did what I had been wishing he would do. I kissed him hard on his lips, trying to erase the pain I saw. He held me gently but closely & kissed me hungrily, taking full control. I held on to him as we basked in each others’ hands. The kissing grew fierce as his mouth strayed from mine & his hands brought goose bumps to my body. Something else would have happened right there, if we hadn’t been interrupted by an insistent knock on the office door. Richard disengaged from me slowly & reluctantly,irritated that we were being disturbed. I smiled. The reaction of what we started was evident on him; on us both. I stood up & pulled Richard out of the couch, I sat on the office chair,adjustingmy tussled hair while Richard crossed over to his seat asking his secretary to come in. Richard’s secretary came in & gave a report of a patient who was rushed into the hospital. Two doctors were already with the patient but they were requesting Richard’s presence because the patient has internal bleeding & might require Richard’s skills if he stood a chance of survival. This made Richard jump out of his seat. He kissed me, asked me to take care of myself & was out in a flash. I smiled, feeling a bit better even though we still had a lot of things to settle. I picked up Richard’s phone & took it out of standby. The first image that propped up nearly made my eyes pop out of their sockets. It was a picture of Kelvin & I in what seemed like… a hug? I left Richard’s office dazed. I should be celebrating my pregnancy but how do u cope when what u love the most is in danger of being yanked away from u. I was trying to piece up an explanation for what I had just seen but none of the conclusions I arrived at made sense. Only one thing seemed logical & could be a possibility. I was just a few steps away from Richard’s office when I saw Prisca approaching me with a questioning look but the look seemed to disappear when she saw my countenance. “How did it go?” she asked. Before she could catch her breath, I pulled her into Richard’s office, closing the door firmly behind us. We sat down without a word & I gave her Richard’s phone. She looked at the phone for a while, & then looked at me. “I don’t understand this. When did this happen?” she asked. I stood up & paced the room slowly,trying to gather my thoughts together. “The time I bumped into Kelvin should be a week ago. No, wait. It was yesterday”, I said. I expected that the misunderstanding between Richard & I had reached a week, thinking about all the numerous things which had happened but the reality is that,it is just a day old.

EPISODE 25 “What were u doing with Kelvin, Bell? u don’t still have feelings for him, do u? My head jerked in her direction. “Definitely not. Whatever I felt for him died d day I saw him with that harlot. Most times I wonder if my feelings for him was actually love cos I can truly say I love Richard & what I feel for Richard is nothing compared to what I felt for Kelvin “OK” she breathed. Then tell me what actually happened cos I don’t see myself hugging Frank if I see him today” Frank was her boyfriend;the one who almost raped her “I was on my way home earlier than usual yesterday cos I felt terribly weak when I had a flat tire. I couldn’t get a mechanic so I set about doing it myself. All of a sudden, Kelvin showed up. He did not leave until I allowed him fix the tires. I was about entering my car when he suddenly blocked me, causing me to bump into him. All he said was that he wanted us to have a drink together & familiarize with each other. I declined. I left him there & DID NOT hug him” I concluded. Prisca thought for a while. “My guess is that someone took a picture of u guys when u bumped into him” “I have thought of that but what I don’t know is who would have done it. Did Richard put someone on my trail?” I thought aloud. “I would not say that. I would say that Kelvin asked someone to do that for one singular reason; the same reason that brought him to ur office today” “What? He was here? When?” I queried, surprised & alarmed. “some hours ago. I guess u were on the hospital bed then. He got what he hadn’t expected though; Richard met him there & asked men to bundle him out” she replied. I was becoming more confused by the minute. Richard had received this message yesterday but did not say anything about it. I remembered his countenance yester night & knew that he must have seen it. He also saw Kelvin today but did not mention it. Why on earth would he do that? *** Loretta paced the waiting room holding her head in her hands. Apart from the several abortions which she had done, she hasn’t literally killed anyone before. She still couldn’t replay the scenario. How did she get herself into this mess? Her tears flowed ceaselessly. She had called James Branson & informed him cos she didn’t know what to do & she needed someone here to hold her hands & tell her it would be alright. She saw Richard pass in a hurry towards the emergency department & her heart skipped a beat. What would he do if he found out after treating the guy that she was the one who put the guy in that condition? It would just make their relationship more complicated, hence,destroying any hope of re- union between them. More tears flowed unhindered as her heart ached. “Loretta” she heard James call behind her. She turned & threw herself in James’ hands, needing all the support she could get. James just held on to her,his heart beating faster than normal, whispering words of encouragements. His eyes snapped up just in time to see Richard head in d direction of his office, furiously, through the glass barrier. Loretta also saw this & left his arms instantly. “he must have found out that I brought him &refused to treat him” she exclaimed, holding her head fiercely. James could not see that happening. Richard would not hold someone’s life ransom just because of Loretta; Richard is not like that. Maybe Richard is angry about something else, besides, he wasn’t even sure Richard would be the one to attend to the guy in question. He has so many doctors in his hospital. Guessing is not an option,though. He did not like seeing Loretta so distressed, no matter what she had done to him. “I would talk to him” he said, walking in the direction of Richard’s office. Loretta followed briskly. He tried dissuading her but she was hell bent on begging Richard herself. Richard marched into the office & I was startled,Priscaalso. He should not be back by now, I thought. He had left barely ten minutes ago,& knowing how long such emergency cases could be, only one thing could have happened. I rushed to him as he sat on the couch. “What is wrong honey? Is d patient Ok?” I asked hoping that whoever it was is not dead. Richard just fixed a permanent glare on his face & I could not understand anything again. Just then,the door opened & my father-in-law came in, accompanied by the last person Richard wanted to see – his mother. He was up in an instant. “Is the devil bent on making what ought to be my happiest day very miserable? What are u doing here?” he asked,glaring at his mum. I held his hand. “C’mon Richy-” I was saying “Don’t touch me” he yelled at me & I shrieked. He has never done that. I was hurt down to my bones. I detest people yelling at me, it reminds me of one person: Mr Badmus, before he changed. “Son” Mr. Branson started “Could u please put this behind u & save the dying patient Richard? He was hit by Loretta & she is freaking out now. Pls son, he had nothing to do with what ur mum did, don’t let him pay for it”

EPISODE 26 Richard glared at his mum for a while, and then faced me. “You are right dad. He has nothing to do with my problem with mum but he has something to do with my crumbling family. The guy that was hit is Kelvin” “What?” Prisca and I yelled. I jumped out of my seat in an instant. “What is going on here Richard? You are leaving him to die because he is my Ex?” I could not believe it. He shook his head. “No. I am not leaving him to die. The other doctors are with him but I cannot save someone who just threatened to bring us down some hours ago. I also got the message where you were with him, holding him affectionately.What do you think I would feel”? Loretta left the place she had been since she came in and knelt down before anybody could stop her. “Please Richard, save the guy. I don’t know what you have with him but please don’t let him die, please. You may decide not to forgive me for what I did to you but please save him.” She said in tears even though everyone tried to get her up. Prisca and I finally got her to her feet. I looked at Richard more closely and I could see him fighting a battle within himself. He was distressed and I could understand his reluctance. I carefully asked everyone to excuse both of us and within seconds, we were alone. I didn’t even know how to deal with things now that we were alone. I just stared at him. ********** ********** Ronke smashed her phone on the floor in frustration. All their chances were now destroyed. She had told Oyin to keep things cool but she wouldn’t listen. They had sent the message earlier than planned. She had specifically told Oyin that they would have to change the position and atmosphere in the picture they had taken of Kelvin and Belina before sending it to Richard but Oyin was too damn impatient. If they had edited the image with computer; thanks to the highly developed technology; they would have been able to put Belina and Kelvin in a compromising position, probably naked, kissing or something a bit stronger than a mere hug. Now Belina is pregnant. She hissed and poured herself another glass of drink. If Oyin had been patient enough, she might have even gotten Richard to doubt the paternity of the child. But now, that is totally out of the question. She had placed a lot of hopes on the success of this thing. “I am not going to rest for nothing. If Oyin can’t get money from that guy for me, she would have to get it anywhere else if she wants to keep her secret” she said to herself. Maybe it is time for some blackmail. ********** ********** Prisca had left Loretta and Mr Branson immediately she left Belina and Richard alone. She saw that ‘harlot doctor’ enter an office which she assumed was hers. she felt an instant urge and desire to confront her and that is what she would do, she thought. she got to the office and luckily for her, no one was there. she was about to knock when she heard the lady in the office talk to someone on the phone. she would not have bothered if she hadn’t heard Belina’s name in the conversation. “The plan is ruined” she heard her say. “That Belina of a woman is pregnant”… “How am i supposed to know that?”… silence followed. Prisca did not know the full detail of what must have happened between Richard and Belina but one thing was definitely sure, she would find out what this woman have been up to. She entered the office like a predator. Oyinade looked back, not knowing who had entered but on seeing her, she seemed to know who she is – Belina’s sister. “You know what Missy? i think we need to have a little chat” Prisca said, sitting down comfortably and crossing her legs

EPISODE 27 That Wednesday seemed to be the longest day of my life. Everything had happened all at once. I hadn’t spent one minute with Richard when he left. I knew he wouldn’t let a man die, no matter what the person had done. I hadn’t said anything when he picked up his stethoscope and headed out. I had said the only thing that came to my mouth: ‘I love you Richard, no one else but you’. He had nodded and left without turning back. I placed my hand on my belly, feeling the life growing in me. I smiled and maybe the baby wanted to confirm his presence because I had an instant urge to throw up. I ran to Richard’s office toilet and emptied my tummy. I started feeling dizzy and nausea. I lay on the couch, feeling slightly light-headed. It didn’t take long before I slipped into the wonderful comfort of sleep, forgetting all the troubles around me. ********** ********** Prisca watched closely as Oyinade shifted uncomfortably from one foot to the other. She knew that the lady before her hadn’t seen her in the hotel when she was dressed like a whore. She also hadn’t looked at her face when they bumped into each other. She had been too furious to even spare her a glance. Prisca wondered what her function was in the hospital as she sat down comfortably, intimidating the young lady with her presence. “How can I help you ma’am?” Oyinade asked, gathering her shattered confidence. She had heard many things about the woman who sat on the chair, facing her. Her beauty has been a subject of public debate, just like Belina; and having her sit in her office should be a pleasure. One other thing had been publicly acknowledged though: the fact that Prisca ought to be a detective. She could draw out the truth from you with only a glance. She shared almost the same personality with Belina. One thing is different though: Belina could pretend that she possessed no emotions at all but you can play on her emotions easily. You only need to touch a vulnerable part of her; Richard to be precise, and you have her in your grasp. Prisca, on the other hand, knows how to keep emotions at bay and see beyond the facial façade of her opponent. She can be very dangerous if she sets out to be. “Why don’t you sit down, you look like you might fall over anytime now” Prisca said with a pleasant smile playing on her face. Oyinade wanted to pursue that statement but decided against it. She sat down on her chair with charisma which made Prisca laugh out, leaving Oyinade confused. Prisca sat the tag on her suit. “Oyinade right?” she asked and Oyin nodded. “Great. I am sure you know who I am but if not, I am Prisca Williams. I would go straight to the point and I hope you would not waste my time. What is your mission in the hospital?” Oyinade was taken aback. “I don’t know what you are talking about” she said feigning innocence. Prisca smiled, stood up and paced slowly. “Nice try dear. You know? it is not often that I get to see harlots occupying the post of a doctor in a hospital as big and highly organized as BRH; care to tell me what you are really doing here?” Oyinade shot up. “Are you insulting me ma’am?” she asked angrily, her veins coming to view. Prisca grinned. “For once, I thought you were totally incapable of anger. To answer your question, no. I was merely asking a question, but it seems I struck a nerve, so tell me: are you a harlot?” Prisca sat down back. Oyinade was practically foaming. “I am afraid I would have to ask you to leave ma’am. I would not have you insult me in my office” she growled. Prisca got up again and made for the door. “Thanks for cooperating with me dear. The conversation you had on the phone is so inspiring. I am sure you would like to explain to your boss, why you hate his wife so much” she said, holding the doorknob. Oyinade gasped. “I… I d… don’t understand” “Oh… don’t stammer my dear; it is not good for your vocal cords. And don’t worry, I am sure you would understand when I play the recording I have with me to the hearing of your boss. I have your voice recorded dear, so it is not your word against mine” Prisca said in one breath, not for once, taking away the pleasant infuriating smile she had on. Oyinade was lost. She couldn’t believe everything was falling apart in one day. She hadn’t even got one day of complete victory. “Please ma, I mean her no harm. Please believe me”. She said in a hurry, stopping Prisca from leaving. “You want me to believe you? Ok” she said, going back to sit. She checked her wristwatch. “I have just ten minutes. Spill it now and think twice about lying to me. Trust me; I have got a mind’s eye”

EPISODE 28 I woke up in the car, on our way home. I thought I had had a dream of Richard carrying me in his arms but it obviously isn’t. Richard looked at me, taking his eyes away from the steering. He looked worried and concerned about me. He put one hand on my laps, controlling the wheels with the other. “How are you feeling princess?” he asked I nodded, too weak to open my mouth; I still felt sleepy. He smiled faintly and moved his fingers through my hair. “Go back to sleep baby. C’mon” he whispered and I went back to sleep. I woke up fully in bed. I was in my underwear, no clothes. I was covered with a blanket. Richard came into the bedroom and smiled when he saw me awake. My heart melted as I stared at his handsome profile. He climbed in bed beside me and kissed me gently on the lips. “How are you, my love?” I smiled. “I feel better than before, thanks. Why am I naked”? Richard grinned. “Your temperature was so high; it could boil a cup of water so I took your clothes out of the way. Little Richard needs a very comfortable environment to grow” he said, placing his hand on my stomach. My heartbeat skipped. Today had been a very long day but I would demand to have this day and none other, if only to feel the way I did when I heard the news of my pregnancy. I looked at Richard critically. “Are you sure you did not take off my clothes for your advantage?” I asked cocking my head at an awkward angle. “Oh sweet, what are you insinuating?” He asked, looking as innocent as possible. I laughed hard, looking at him. Oh… I am so much in love with this guy. Even though I saw the desire in his eyes and written all over him, his concern for my health and condition was more evident. He stopped my laughter with his mouth, covering mine in a fierce, demanding manner. We shared similar desire as I held on to him, kissing him deeply. Something flashed through my mind and I instantly became still. Richard noticed this and stopped abruptly, bringing his ragged breathing under control. “What is wrong?” he breathed. “Nothing. I… I remembered that I hadn’t asked you how Kelvin is doing” I said slowly. Something seemed to pass through his face within seconds. “He is in a comma now; all we can do is pray that he comes out alive”. I nodded and stared at nothing in particular. He was silent; so was I. “Youtold me to trust you. How can I do that if you also don’t trust me?” I asked. He was silent; he just stared into space. “What is between you and your assistant?” “We share only one relationship: working relationship. There is nothing going on between us. I know she sent a message at an ungodly hour but she was just apologizing for her misconduct the previous day” he assured. “Which misconduct are you talking about?” I asked intent on finding any loop holes. Richard sighed. “She was dressed inappropriately. Her body was on public display and I rebuked her indecency. She felt guilty and decided to send a message. She felt she couldn’t face me after what she did”. “Oh…” I breathed. The pregnancy sickness took over before I could think of anything. I ran into the toilet to throw up. Richard rinsed my face and led me back to bed. He was able to shove some food down my throat before I used some drugs. It can be upsetting to have a doctor as a husband especially when you have to use drugs every now and then. I lamented the irrelevance of drugs but he did not rest until I had it down my throat. I cuddled next to him and he had his arms around me till I dozed off.

EPISODE 29 Oyinade drove her car so recklessly that she had almost gotten herself killed by on-coming vehicles. It is so early in the morning and no one should be seen in such speed. She needed to see Ronke. She could really use some advice. The previous day is what you would term her worst nightmare. She couldn’t believe she had actually spilled the beans to that tormentor. She closed her eyes briefly as she remembered the awkward tension she felt in her own office. “I love Richard ma” she had dropped immediately Prisca stopped talking. Prisca’s facial expression did not change one bit. You would assume that she already knew it with the way she pasted that smile on her face. “I have seen him times without number on the television and I decided to work here in BRH, hoping that he would love me back” she said in one breath. “Oh… so you are trying to tell me that you never knew he was married?” Prisca asked. Oyinade sniffed and shook her head. “I never knew until I got here. When I got here and discovered he was married, I just wished I would have something with him”. “You are a terrible liar. I am going to let that slide though. I thought you denied being a whore; tell me: what ‘plan’ did you put in place to ensure that Richard leaves his beautiful bride?” Prisca asked Oyinade looked at her. She had truly heard everything she said to Ronke, she thought. She had hoped that she didn’t hear everything; the ending part particularly. “You would tell her ma’am. You would tell them and my life would be shattered, I would be jobless.” She had cried. “No. I would not tell a single soul. I just want to determine if you are the best person for me to use. You see, Belina came into my family, taking away my parents’ attention and drawing it to herself. She became showered with all kinds of gifts and my parents scolded me all the time because of her. She became a peasant; a thorn in my flesh. I have wanted to pay her back somehow, anyhow, but I hadn’t got the chance till now. You taking Richard would mean that I have my revenge and you also have your man. What do you think?” Oyinade was speechless. She had known from her distant study of Prisca that she is dangerous and unpredictable but she hadn’t expected her to be that way with her sister. She knew how neglect can make you do silly things having experienced it first- hand with her parents. “Ok ma. I tried to seduce him with my body but he is too immune towards me. The only thing I did and succeeded with was to create discord between them. Maybe you can give me an advice as to how to go about it though, I have not even had twenty-four hours of complete victory.” Oyin said, happy that she now had a formidable ally. Prisca stood up, raising her phone in the air. “Thanks for you sincerity my dear, it was most helpful. For the record, I did not have your earlier phone conversation recorded, it was just bait. Now, I have your confessions recorded. Next time, think twice about screwing with my family because Richard and Belina are family. Chaos. MUAH” Prisca blew her a kiss and waltzed out of the office with a cool smile. All the blood flowing through Oyinade’s veins seemed to freeze as she choked. Oyinade parked her car in front of Ronke’s compound. She had been too worn out to call her last night but she could really use some advice right now. She had rejected all of Ronke’s advices, relying on her own ideas and impulses but presently, she could not even think of a single line of action. She knocked on the entrance door and Ronke came out in her night gown to open. They greeted normally and she sat down on the chair forcefully. Ronke stared at Oyin, expecting her to begin her blabbing about her stupidity and asking how they were going to deal with Belina’s pregnancy but instead, she just sat there, looking at her with her head in her hands. “I am finished Ronke. Totally screwed” Oyin said after long silence. “Yeah, I got it. The pretty wife is pregnant” she said sarcastically, going to grab a bottle of water even though she really wanted to drink something strong. “No. it is much worse than that” Oyin said, catching Ronke’s attention with her grim face. She narrated all that happened the previous day, right from the very top where she had refused to see Richard, making him feel guilty, to the very bottom. Ronke just gaped at her when she finished like she had ten heads. “You are the most stupid idiot I have ever seen in my life. Were you possessed or something?” she barked. “Don’t insult me, damn you. Let’s just find a way to solve this problem, please” Oyin said. “You must be crazy if you think that I am going to help you with anything. The time I was there to help, you did not listen to me. This is your problem and you would solve it yourself. If I were you, I would be more concerned about a bigger problem.” She said, finally grabbing a drink. Oyinade was confused and stricken. “What are you talking about?” “I can blow the whistle faster than any referee in a football match. I know of all your plans, everything you did just to get Richard and his wealth to yourself. I also know of the two million naira fraud you committed last year in your former hospital before leaving”. Oyinade blanched. “How do you know about that?” she asked, shaken to her roots. Ronke walked back to her seat, glass of whiskey in one hand. “Unlike you, I am not so stupid. Now, if I were you, I would be looking for five million Naira. I give you two weeks; two weeks to get the money, if not, you would be behind bars faster than you can ever imagine” Ronke said, placed her glass against her lips and took in a mouth-full of whiskey.

EPISODE 30 Oyinade could not quite believe that her world was falling apart right in her very face. She stared at Ronke as she drank from her cup slowly, hoping that she was just pulling her legs but the facial expression she saw told her that it was definitely a farce. She swallowed hard. “Please Ronke, don’t do this to me; we are best friends, remember?” she pleaded. Ronke laughed sarcastically. “Best friends my foot. What do you take me for, uhn? Do you think I am someone you toil with? I watched you take up positions in various places; being offered top positions in every company you enter, you come here and rub it in my face instead of helping me secure a job. Do you think I like warming people’s beds for money? Listen to me and listen well: if you don’t get five million Naira in two weeks, be ready for a shocker”. She stood up already furious. “Five million Naira? Where am I supposed to get that?” Oyinade yelled, already in tears. “I don’t know and I don’t care. Rob a bank, whatever. You know me girl, don’t take me lightly”. She threatened, refilling her cup. Oyinade was breathing hard. “You are a betrayer. I hate you” Oyin said quietly. Ronke nodded. “Not as much as I hate you. Now, get out” Oyinade stood for a while then made for the door quietly. Ronke’s voice stopped her at the door. “Don’t think I don’t have proof. Two weeks” Ronke said and went into the room. Oyinade closed the door and made for her car. She ought to have arrived office by now. ********** ********** Prisca dropped off Patricia at school, leaving her with a loving peck on the cheeks. She had snacks in her lunch bag which she dropped with her teacher – Miss Terri. She went back home to enjoy her day. Part of the advantage of being a boss is the fact that you can decide to stay at home anytime you like. She hadn’t been able to tell Richard and Belina what she had found out yesterday. Belina had been asleep and Richard had been too concerned about Belina to even be concerned about whatever she had found out. She had poured it all out to Tony immediately she arrived home and had played the recording to his hearing. He had been too impressed with her role as the interrogator that he had sent it to his phone to listen to it over and over again. His anger towards Oyinade was not disputed though. He had relayed the story of how Richard had been distraught when he saw the picture sent to him. Prisca eased into a chair, lemon juice in hand, switching on the plasma to watch some American movies. She would make sure that Oyin girl is put exactly where she belongs. She had said some things which held an element of truth. When Belina became a member of the family, she had almost become invisible to her parents. Her dad was doing all he could to make up for lost time. He wanted to do everything just to erase the bad things that Belina had to cope with in the hands of Mr. Badmus. He never came back from work without buying something special for her. Prisca had felt neglected but Belina, being wise had always shared everything that was bought for her. She would have resented Belina but the bond between them is far too deep to allow jealousy. Belina had noticed the extra attention she was receiving and had confronted their parents. Belina is the best sister she could have ever had and if she had to choose again, she would choose Belina a thousand times. She remembered the fact that she would be an aunt in a matter of months and a wide grin was pasted on her face. As for that Oyin girl, she would deal with her personally; her trip to BRH should put that little gold-digger in her place. ********** ********** Oyinade sat in her office. She hadn’t done anything serious and most of her time had been spent in her office, thinking of what to do. She felt stupid and foolish. She couldn’t believe she had trusted Ronke enough to get her involved in her every move. She had known that Ronke was jealous of her achievements and of her enormous body but she never knew she was this bitter. Where on earth could she get five million Naira? She has little above one million in her account. Even the two million Naira she had stolen had been squandered. There is this thing about stolen money that seems to fly away the very minute it gets to your hands. She put her fingers against her temples. She had been expecting Richard to call her as a result of what she had told Miss Prisca Williams but she hadn’t heard anything. Richard came in rather late. He must have been at home taking care of his baby mama. Her jealousy spiraled as she thought about this. An idea popped into her head. No. she shook her head vigorously. She couldn’t try it. Never. She cleared her mind, removing the evil thought from her mind. She placed her head on the table. She had never been this confused in her life. Her intercom line rang and she jerked up with a start, her heartbeat running wild. She contemplated ignoring it but common sense took over. “Hello” she said with shaky voice. The voice of her boss came through the speaker, making her already wild heartbeat somersault. “Miss Oyinade, I want to see you in my office immediately.” She had dropped the phone without a response but even if she had responded, it wouldn’t have been heard because Richard hung up immediately he finished his statement. She stood up on shaky legs and went to Richard’s office, leaving her brain blank, expecting the worst.

EPISODE 31 I chewed the salty crackers Richard had given me. Richard had pampered me so much that I got tired of it, loved it though. I woke up rather late. Is it part of the signs of pregnancy to sleep too much? If it is, I do not like it. I hate waking up late, no matter how tired I was the previous day. I felt heavy and weak and I wanted to do some exercise even if it is strolling but Richard would not have it. I still felt weak and sick but I explained to him that it was just a minor weakness, of course, he did not listen. The part of the pampering I really enjoyed was when he bathed me. Silly me, you would say. I am allowed to be silly; I am married for heaven’s sake. You enjoy so many ‘silly things’ when you are married, especially to a very handsome Richard. The bath had graduated into something else and instead of it being a single person bath, it became double. After the love play in the bathroom and in the room afterwards, he had got me some salty crackers from the supermarket which would reduce my nausea, then tried to force me to eat something even though I had no appetite at all. I had to send him to the hospital forcefully when his pampering was becoming too much, saying that he needed to take care of Kelvin. He didn’t like me mentioning his name but I had done it just to send him to the hospital. When that jealous look had crossed his face, I had smiled and kissed him, telling him that I love him. I chewed the cracker, very happy that he had actually bought it. It was helping me, although I already missed Richard. I sent him a message, telling him that I would love to have another bath. I smiled to myself as I saw the delivery alert. ********** ********** Prisca smiled internally as she sat opposite Richard. She wanted to just blurt everything out but she wanted a little fun. She wanted the downfall of Oyin to be her way of having fun. She had arrived at BRH and had headed straight towards Richard’s office. He would have called Belina but she did not want to stress her at all. She is an expectant mother, she thought with a smile. She had to wait in the reception for Richard because he was not on seat. Richard met her there and had invited her into the office. They had discussed various issues before she carefully slipped into her main purpose for coming. “Richard, someone in this hospital has tried to break up my lovely family” she had said. Richard’s eyes had twitched as he looked at her as if dumbfounded. “What are you talking about? Is there any problem between you and Tony? Who is that person?” Prisca’s expression had been one of pain. “It is Oyinade. I saw her yesterday. She is trying to destroy a family filled with love. She even has the guts to admit it to my face. I wanted to tell you yesterday but I could not. You were already on your way home.” Richard had remembered that she was about to say something but had kept quiet. He did not question her again but had called Oyinade immediately. She tried hard to keep in place her facial remorse as she waited patiently for Oyinade to arrive. Not long after, a call came in through the intercom and Richard said into the mouth-piece, ‘tell her to come in’. She smiled internally. Oyinade entered and upon sighting Prisca, she shivered. Richard noticed this, he had actually thought that there must have been a mistake but seeing Oyinade’s reactions, he knew that something was fishy. This lady is already having the habit of causing confusion in homes. “Would you explain exactly what I am hearing Miss Adeyanju?” Richard said sternly, having a calm look on his face; an expression that Oyinade had come to term as dangerous. Oyinade shifted uncomfortably on her feet. “I… don’t understand sir” she breathed very quietly that Richard almost did not hear her. “You better understand before I lose my cool. Tell me what you did before my sister-in-law repeats herself, leading you into even bigger trouble” Richard dropped, piercing her with his eyes even though she avoided meeting his. She trembled. “I am sorry sir, I was misled. I was over- ambitious and dying with love that I had to do everything within my power to have you” she said, tears dropping from her eyes. Richard was now confused; very confused. “What are you talking about?” he asked, looking from a distraught Oyinade to an indifferent Prisca and back. “I admit everything Mrs. Williams told you but sir, I did everything out of love for you sir. Ever since I saw you on TV, I hadn’t stopped fantasizing about being with you and having you to myself.” She sniffed. Richard just stared wide eyed. “I was the one that sent you the picture of your wife and her ex” “What?” Richard said before he could stop himself. His anger was now coercing to the surface. She cried harder. “I only wanted you to love me sir. That is why I wore that skimpy dress to work, so that you would notice me.” She swallowed. “I am so sorry sir… I would never do it again” she said, kneeling down. Richard just stared at her, not knowing what to do or say. He had expected something like this but not about him and Belina. Prisca had said it in a way that made him think it had to do with she and Tony. Prisca took out her phone, pressed a few buttons and the conversation between she and Oyin filled the room. When the recording ended, Richard placed his head on his desk. His head was filled with nothing and everything. He could not believe he had such a person in his hospital. He lifted his eyes. “I would take pity on you because I am not ready for any legal case right now but you know that if I decide to put you behind bars, you would be there for some time. I have the power; but I would not do that. Stand up now and go to your office. You have one hour to pack all your possessions. You are fired.” Oyin’s head shot up instantly. “No. Please sir, I am sorry. I did what I did out of ignorance. Please” she pleaded. Richard’s piercing gaze almost blocked air from entering her nostrils. “Remove that tag and hand it over”, he ordered. Oyinade was still for a couple of seconds. She removed the BRH tag bearing her name and placed it on the table. “Now, get out now” the words were a little above a whisper but it was like a scream due to the way he said it. Oyinade stood up, wiped her eyes and left deflated. Richard picked up his intercom and barked. “Prepare a letter of termination of contract for Miss Adeyanju immediately. She is no longer a staff in BRH” ********** ********** Oyin made for her office like a robot. Her brain was blank. No thought came. She picked up the few things she had in her office – her photo frame, her Ipad, her bag and some other minute things and moved out of the hospital. Curious stares greeted her as she left but she did not pay them any heed. The only thing that came to her head was, ‘where am I going to get five million Naira?”

EPISODE 32. Ronke made it through the flight of stairs that was threatening to be her undoing. The elevator in this damned hotel decided to fail the very day she had a reason. She cursed the stupid intuition that had made her put on this 6 inches high-heeled shoes. The long weavon she had on her head caressed her back as she ascended the stairs. She had on a tube gown which naturally should be a top. The wine coloured tube gown started just from the top of her breast to a few inches away from her bums. She had drawn lots of stares as she entered the hotel and she hadn’t paid them any heed, except of course, those who seemed to have their pockets full. She reached Room 207 and opened without knocking. “Hello sexy” Chief Rammon breathed, taking in every line in her body. Ronke did not give any response; instead, she sat forcefully on the bed, pulling out the shoes before they did any real damage. “Chief, I have told you times without number that I don’t like meeting you in a hotel. Don’t you like my house?” she spread her arms, disgusted, adjusting her hair and massaging her feet. She had to endure pigs like the pot-bellied fat ugly fool standing in front of her salivating just because she wanted to keep her finances in the balance. She had become a sex addict and now, it has become her business but she would rather restrict it to young men of her age but finding loaded young men these days seem to be a tedious task. Old men however were all over the place, looking for people to spend their money on only for a couple of minutes’ pleasure. “I am sorry my goddess. Let’s leave that for now, yeah?” he said rubbing Ronke’s laps. Ronke felt the urge to throw up as she stared at the despicable man. She considered standing up and just walking away but she re- evaluated the money she would be receiving: two hundred thousand Naira. She nodded internally. She couldn’t just throw away such amount of money. It would fill a space, help her fill up her sitting room bar and also get some of the tempting clothes she had seen two days ago. She promised herself that this would be the last time she does this. The five million naira on the way should be able to help her set up a supermarket and live a perfect life. ********** ********** Kelvin opened his eyes weakly. All the images before him danced gaily as he struggled to keep his eyes open. The first thing that finally came into full view was the sparkling white wall overhead. His throat felt thick, like he hadn’t used it for days and he felt boneless and weak. He painfully turned his stiff neck and what he saw made him know that he was actually in a hospital. What the hell was he doing in a hospital? He lifted one of his arms and saw the needle inserted which supplied drip. The door opened and a nurse entered. Immediately she saw his movement, her strides quickened. “Oh… you are awake, thank God” she sighed. “How are you feeling sir?” Kelvin stared at the face of the nurse, deciding that she is too pretty to resign herself to cleaning blood and inserting injections into various colour of buttocks. Her light-complexioned skin glowed under the white uniform gown she had on. The braid she made was packed neatly behind, leaving her stunning; more stunning that the regular mean-looking witch nurses he was used to seeing. The sigh of relief took his gaze to her lips and he continued to stare at them, not really knowing what to think. “Sir” Nurse Catherine called, jacking him out of his reverie. “I said; how are you feeling?” He breathed, remembering that he was actually in a hospital and that he had no idea how he landed here. He closed his eyes painfully. For a sick man, he should not be fantasizing about a nurse; he cursed his stupidity. “I feel weak” he croaked out. Is that my voice? He wondered. “How did I get here?” he asked. “You were hit by a car. Relax, let me get the doctor” she said and was out of the room in a flash. Kelvin found himself staring at her departing figure, hoping that her back was as good as her front. He cursed himself for the second time. He could not remember anything about being hit by a car or anything related to it. The only thing in his brain was white room, electronic gadgets beeping and a stunning nurse. Kelvin mentally shook his head. His life is already in ruins. He wanted to stand up and leave this bed that made him feel like it was part of his body but the drip in his hand would be interrupted; he didn’t even think that he would be able to stand without falling. A doctor and the pretty nurse came into the room and the doctor towered over him with a faint smile. “I am happy you have finally come around sir” he said immediately, checking his hand, eyes and the drip. He said a few things to the nurse who jotted down, displaying her slim fingers. ‘Get a hold of yourself idiot’ Kelvin rebuked himself, taking his eyes away from the nurse. The first thing that his eyes saw was the tag on the doctor’s white suit. ‘Doctor Felix’. That must be the name of the doctor, he thought. For some strange reason, he continued to stare at the tag, thinking he had seen it somewhere. Just then, his eyes caught the inscription on the tag beneath the name – ‘BRH’. Best Results… “What” he yelled, causing the doctor and the nurse jump, frightened. “What is wrong sir?” the doctor was checking kelvin’s temperature, trying to fathom the reason for the exclamation. “What am I doing here” he yelled, a bit lower than before. He did not have as much strength as he had expected. The nurse stared at Kelvin, thinking that something was definitely wrong with him because he had asked that question before and she had answered. ‘You were involved in an-” the doctor was saying. “No. I mean, what am I doing in Best Results Hospital?” he started at the gown of the nurse. If he hadn’t been too preoccupied with nonsense, he would have noticed the tag on the top of her breast. ‘Nurse Catherine’. Perfect name, he thought briefly. The doctor looked at him, not really knowing how to answer. “You were rushed here” he finally said. Kelvin hoped it was not totally bad, so he decided to ask the determinant question. “Does Richard know that I am here?” It is possible he does not, the hospital is very big, he thought. “You mean Mr. Branson” he asked smiling softly. “Of course he knows. He was the one that treated you, in fact, he is…” Kelvin blanched. “He what?” he yelled.

EPISODE 33 I felt nervous. Very nervous. I stood in front of the mirror adjusting every adjustable. It had been wonderful ever since I found out I was pregnant. I spent each passing day happy, knowing that a life is growing in me. Richard made my days fun and exciting with his numerous pampering. After I had sent that message over a week ago, he had replied albeit an hour later, explaining how he had been thinking the same thing. He said he might have forgotten to wash some parts of my body and that he was on his way. He came almost immediately he sent it and the rest is history. I leave you to your imaginations… Everyday had been spent at home – something that became increasingly frustrating but the joy of being an expectant mother held me back. I spent everyday day-dreaming about the child I would have in less than nine months; watching movies and sleeping. I did not do much of sleeping though. Richard’s plan to stay at home with me for as long as I was ill was thwarted when the hospital received emergency patients. An entire family had been involved in an accident and had been rushed to the hospital. Richard had had to spend days in the hospital, personally monitoring the patients, even though it was not his job to heal; God does the healing. Knowing this, it is permanently a custom in BRH to have a general prayer of staff members, 7 am every morning. They pray for all the patients in the hospital and also those that might be brought in. Richard had spent more than a week, ensuring that the patients are stable and recovering and now wants to make up for his absence. I was standing in front of the mirror in a chiffon purple mini dress, a silver shoe and purse. I looked exceedingly dashing but I was still looking for question marks. I was as nervous as a teenager going to her first date. I heard him drive in and my heart skipped. Am I the only married woman who still feels very nervous when expecting her husband after close to three years of marriage? I stepped out of the room and stood a few steps from the door. He opened and entered. Even after working for hours, he still looked gorgeous. I let out a slow breath as he turned. He froze immediately he saw me. My heart was racing. “Welcome” I managed to whisper. “Urh… ehm…” he stuttered, slowly tracing every bit of me with his eyes. I became more nervous and started playing with my fingers. *coughs* “You look… erm… you look ravishing” he finally breathed. He looked at me again. “That is an understatement”he muttered under his breath. Seeing his speechless state, I finally summoned courage. I walked gingerly towards him and his arms circled my waist, unconsciously. I placed a kiss on his cheeks. “Do we still have our date?” I whispered into his ear, making him more nervous with my closeness. “You bet we do” he responded. He stepped back. “Shall we?” he asked, bowing slightly and presenting his arm like a knight in shinning Armour. I placed my arm against in his elbow. “Definitely” ********** ********** Oyinade moved from one end of the sitting room to the other, deep in thought. It is just two days to the deadline she was given by Ronke and she hadn’t even come up with two million naira, not to mention Five. She had slept with highly influential people but they hadn’t been able to give her much. She resented Belina for being a stumbling block but she would deal with her later; she needed to solve a problem. She had thought Ronke was bluffing until she sent her some proof which could definitely incriminate her. The pressure was making her go lean. She sat down with a thud, finally accepting to do the only thing that came to her mind as the solution to this crisis. She picked her phone and dialed a number. It was answered after the second ring. “Hello Tikes… it is Oyin… you don’t know Oyin again?… Ok, there is something I need you to do for me…” UNA HAPPY SUNDAY O

EPISODE 34 Richard and I ran into the house laughing and pursuing each other like two teenagers. He was pursuing and I was running. I stopped immediately I entered the sitting room and he almost ran me over but held me for support, due my condition. If it had been just a month ago, he would have run me over and we would have fallen on the deep rug, him beneath and me on top of him. He held on to me as we tried hard to control our laughter. The dinner date had been so romantic and awesome. It was a candle light dinner in the open veranda of a beautifully decorated eatery. The smell of the flowers flowed into my nostrils as the cool breeze made me feel totally awesome. The music was just right and I could not fault anything at all, the place was simply divine. My loss of appetite vanished immediately I perceived the aroma of the delicacy in placed in front of me. It was a french dish and the taste teased my taste buds as I savored it in my mouth. We talked, laughed and talked more as we ate, forgetting our table manners. The event on the past week was not mentioned at all, it was as though he did not want to remember it at all. It was good because I also did not want something so sore to affect our dinner. He came back from BRH obviously after reading my message but I still felt there was something else that propelled his leaving. The laughter vanished and we became silent. I held on to Richard’s hand, trying to remove the heels I had on. The comfortable feel of the rug greeted my feet making me relax fully, though I was still standing. The penetrating gaze from Richard was making me very uneasy as I looked everywhere but his eyes. After browsing virtually everything in the sitting room, my gaze finally landed on his. The deep desire I saw there did not surprise me, it only made my heartbeat race faster than usual – that is what I get for putting on an extremely seductive cloth. “You have the habit of making me very nervous, don’t you?” I said sarcastically, trying to lighten up the mood. He smiled, making me feel more uneasy. “I am just repaying the favour. You had the prologue, I have the epilogue” he whispered. I shuddered visibly as he inched closer, so close that our bodies touched and his breath was felt on my skin. My knees were weak and on the verge of giving way as I stared into his desire clouded eyes with equal desire. His soft manly perfume teased my nostrils. He placed his hands on my sides, moving them downwards to come to a halt on my hips slowly. He breathing became ragged and his voice husky. “Why did you put on this dress? You should know that no good would come from you seducing me, you might just get more than you seek” I breathed, trying very hard unsuccessfully to draw a descent breath. “I don’t know what you are talking about” I feigned innocence. He wanted to laugh but the laughter came out more like a groan. The evidence of his desire made my breath vanish totally as my leg brushed against his hardness. He groaned, pulling me to him roughly. He bit the arc between my neck and my shoulder softly causing me to moan softly. He kissed my eyes, nose but stopped just a breath away from my mouth. I raised my head, standing on tip-toes but he maintained the slim distance, making me go crazy with need. “You want me to kiss you? Ask for it.” He said; his mouth just an inch away. I was stupefied. I did not want to give him the victory but his torment was making it increasingly difficult to keep a straight head. “Please” I whispered hoarsely. He smiled slightly. “Please what?” he asked. I groaned. “Kiss me damn you” I yelled frustrated slamming my fist softly against his chest. He did not wait a second longer. He covered my mouth in a fierce hungry kiss which I returned in like manner. It was like the first time; every time is like the first time but more so now. All the material barriers were removed as we basked in love, right there in the sitting room. ********** **********

EPISODE 35 ********** Ronke stood up from the bed, trying to dress up. The idiotic pig had used her and used her over again to his satisfaction. Can she blame him? She had made herself available. She looked over her shoulders at the snoring pot-bellied man and had the instant urge to throw up. She wanted to kick him in the butt and yell for him to give her her money so she could leave but she wanted to be dressed when she wakes him. She could not allow this despicable man to stare at her nakedness like he owns her. She decided a little shower would be great; to wash away the hands of the filthy man before it sticks to her body. Confident that the chief would not be roused from his sleep, she arranged her clothes on the bed and made for the bathroom. She had her hand on the door handle as she was closing the bathroom door when her eyes fell on the brief case under the bed. She closed the door, dismissing the briefcase for a mere documents box and slipped into the bathroom, closing the door behind her. As the water hit her body, she shuddered and relaxed. The box still tugged at her brain though. She put off the shower and dried her body hurriedly in order to satisfy her curiosity. She would shower later, she thought, sneaking out of the bathroom carefully in order not to rouse the sleeping man. She pulled put the briefcase and tip-toed back into the bathroom. Sitting on the toilet seat, she tried to pry the locks open. She tried everything she could ever think of but the box just would not give way. She groaned softly. She remembered that he had once told her the password to unlock his phone and she turned the locks. ‘2552’. The box gave way and she heaved a huge sigh but the sigh immediately turned to a quick gasp when her eyes caught a glimpse of what laid in the box. She pulled up the cover slowly and her eyes widened. Saliva was threatening to escape her mouth and a tiny ounze dropped before she could think of closing her mouth. Staring at her was a box full of pounds sterling bundles. She could not even imagine how much the money would be. She closed the box in a hurry, dropped it carefully on the floor, peeped to be sure the chief was still asleep, then tip- toed out of the bathroom. She gathered her clothes, went back into the bathroom, and wore everything in a record- breaking speed limit; the bath she had planned to have did not even cross her mind. She picked up the box and left the bathroom, picked up her shoes and slipped the briefcase into her extra-large handbag – thank God for big ladies’ bag. Shoes in hand, she got out. Wore the shoe in a hurry and hurried out. ‘Oyinade can go to hell as far as I am concerned. This money is the koko’ she thought, flagging down a bike outside the hotel, with plans to elope on her head. ********** ********** Oyinade had cornflakes in her mouth as she watched a Yoruba movie in African magic. She watched as funke akindele entered the house of an herbalist and a thought occurred to her. Maybe she would have to visit one herself, she thought. The pressure she had been feeling had been lifted immediately she made the phone call. It is just a day to the two weeks deadline and she was feeling perfectly at ease. She laughed at the hilarious display on the TV and focused her attention on the movie. The ringing of her phone diverted her attention and she picked it with her eyes still glued to the TV. One glance at the caller’s ID made her loose total interest in the movie. Tikes had promised to call yesterday in order to get descriptions but he hadn’t called. “Hello”… “I have one”… “Alright, I would send both to you now”… She rose to her feet, heading towards the kitchen. She dropped her empty plate in the zinc and rinsed her hands with the water from the zinc tap. After drying her hands with a towel, she went back to the sitting room, picked up her phone and started pressing her phone. After typing for about a minute, she paused and stopped to inspect what she had typed before sending it. When she got the delivery report, she dropped the phone with a smile. No matter what happened, nothing could be traced to her because she had ensured that her ID was hidden, everytime she either called or sent a message. She relaxed fully, resuming her movie.

EPISODE 36 Ronke spent nothing more than ten minutes in her house. She had spent five minutes taking out anything that had her name on it, her pictures, her files, international passports, ID cards and so on. All her clothes were left where they were. She removed the briefcase and stuffed all her findings in her bag. The other five was spent confirming that she had indeed picked everything. Carrying everything, she left the house in a hurry. She flagged down a bike and mentioned an address. Without negotiating, she climbed the bike, looking as calm as possible in order not to rouse any suspicion. When she got there, she paid the bike man, asking him to keep the change. The hail of the bike man followed her as she walked away. She took out her phone as she walked and dialed a number. ‘Hey Jim, whats up nw… I need a favour ooo… I want to put my house in another person’s name, can you do that for me as soon as possible?… ahn ahn… no ooo I need it in an hour nooowww… don’t worry, I would settle you, you trust me now… Ok… I am coming over” she smiled victoriously. After thinking for about a minute, she dialed another number. “Ajokybaby” she said immediately she phone was picked. She laughed heartily at the response. “Bawo ni?… don’t mind that one jare… Everyone dey do hin own runs now… na so… as to the real matter, how would you like to live in my house?…” she laughed at the response. She had expected it. She went ahead to explain everything she had planned on saying, enjoying the excited squeals she was receiving. ********** ********** I knelt down beside my bed, talking to my Father. The discussions I always have with my father in prayer are always as if I am talking to a physical being. It helps me to see God, not just as my God and creator, but also as my father. I noticed the difference it makes: when you pray the normal routine-like prayer, you tend to forget that God is actually your father and you pray amiss. The true meaning and relevance of ‘The Lord’s prayer’ which starts with ‘Our Father who art in Heaven’ had become more real to me when I decided to turn every prayer into a conversation with God. It gives you the feel that God is listening to what you are saying as a father listens to his child and it makes prayer more exciting and appealing. After about thirty minutes, I stood up. Richard had already gone to the hospital. We already had our family prayer before he left but since I have been signed to stay put at home, I decided a lengthy prayer would be wonderful. I have not stopped thanking God for the miracle happening in my tommy and I would continue to thank Him for as long as I have the strength to. I showered and combed my hair tenderly after massaging enough oil and cream into it. I was fully dressed and was standing right in front of the mirror, checking myself out and combing my hair to perfection. I still could not figure out why I had to stay at home. I miss my office terribly. I am not yet heavy for crying out loud. Yesternight had been so wonderful, simply mind- blowing. I had even forgotten to ask about the hospital, about Kelvin, his assistant – the little whore and many others. I was just contented having my love with me. The hospital has not been discussed at all since last week, it was as if he was avoiding the subject, like something would upsetting him if he as much as talked about it. I wanted to bridge the topic yesterday but something stopped me – it was the desire to have my husband to myself without any work related talk. My phone beeped and I smiled when I stared at the screen. “Hey Pric…” I laughed at the long sermon Prisca was ranting due to my not calling her for three days. “I am sorry ma… No, don’t. I am coming over… Cmon now, what is wrong with everyone these days? I am pregnant not crippled… my being pregnant does not stop me from moving now… stay right there, I am coming over and that is that.” I dropped the phone. Now, everyone wants to take Richard’s stance? I would not allow that. I laughed as I remembered the words Prisca had said, trying to convince me to stay at home. The baby is in my tummy for God’s sake, not on my legs. I shook my head with a smile and picked up my purse, phone and car keys.

EPISODE 37 SORRY GUYS.I'M OUT OF DATA.THATS WHY I HAVEN'T UPDATED SINCE. I'M uPDATING NOW WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S PHONE Richard sat in his office, feeling very excited. He had enjoyed every bit of last night. The dinner out was awesome but the conclusive part of the day had been simply mind- blowing. Belina had been so tired and sleepy this morning, understandably so, that he had made breakfast for her in bed. They had prayed together and he had prepared for work. Richard was expecting Doctor Felix, in order to receive reports of how the hospital was after his departure. He was considering the prospect of making him his assistant now that Oyinade was gone. He responded to the knock he received and Doctor Felix waltzed in, in his usual manner. Richard gestured a seat and listened as the doctor gave a detailed account of the welfare of the hospital. “… the patient in ward 9 by name Mr Kelvin is now out of coma” he said after some minutes. Richard’s interest was pricked. “Wow… when did that happen?” he asked, sitting up. “About 5:23 yesterday sir” he responded, and then took his eyes away from the book, looking at Richard. “Sir, do you know the man personally?” he asked, although he already knew the answer to that; Richard’s behaviour when the patient was to be treated showed it. He did not expect their relationship to be a pleasant one, though. “Yeah. Yeah, I do” Richard said, letting out no emotion. “Obviously… The patient was restless when he found out that he was being admitted in BRH and more so when he was told that you attended to him” Doctor Felix said. “He became so violent that we had to sedate him. He tried to escape around 3am this morning but we caught up with him and since then had someone to monitor his room” Richardbecame worried and his face portrayed this but he knew that only one thing can make someone that restless – guilt. He stood up. “I am going to see him now, you may go”. ********** ********** I arrived Prisca’s boutique and was greeted by all the smiling workers. They all looked beautiful as usual, in beautiful clothes and nice braids. I looked around, admiring all the beautiful clothes surrounding me. “Sweetheart” I was jerked from my window-shopping when I heard Prisca’s voice. “You make me feel as though you wanna buy everything here”. She said, coming over with a smile. She faced one of her workers and gasped. “Did she drop a mouth-watering cheque?” Everyone laughed hard, including me. I walked up to her and gave her a cool hug. Prisca and I proceeded into her office where I was served a very cool drink. I looked round at the beauty of the office. The office has changed since the last time I came which was about a month ago. “So, how is my nephew doing?” she asked immediately we sat. I scoffed. “What makes you think I am bearing a boy?” “My instincts tell me Richard is much more stronger than you are” she replied with a grin. “you would be surprised” I replied cheekily. “have you gone for scan?” I shook my head, sipping my drink. “No. Richard is too over-pampering,he won’t allow me lift a finger. If he knew I stepped out of the house, he would explode” I sighed visibly. Prisca laughed. “can you blame him? It is his first child we are talking about here” I scoffed. “was it this terrible when you had Pat?” I asked synically. “it can’t be this way forever dear. Tony was also this over-protectiveat first” I smiled. “I can’t say I don’t enjoy the pampering at times.” She laughed. “corrupt soul. Anyways, I think he is just trying to make up for the serious incidents of last week. That oyinade girl is a witch” I hissed. “don’t mind that harlot. I have not had her time” Prisca shook her head. “thank God Richard fired her before she did any more damage” I opened my mouth. He hadn’t told me that. Prisca took one look at my stupefied face and deduced what I was thinking. “he did not tell you?” I shook my head. “not a single word”. “I shouldn’t have then” Prisca said, obviously saddened that I had to hear it from her. I pestered her but she refused to say any other thing. I resigned. Richard obviously has some explaining to do. **********

EPISODE 38 Ajoke popped open a bottle of champagne to the cheer of her friends. She could not believe her half sister could be so generous as to transfer her beautiful house to her. They were just like twins even though Ronke is about five years older than her. It hadn’t taken her three hours to pack her luggage from her friend’s room. She had been squatting with her friend for about six months and the despicable girl never failed to remind her of that fact. She had asked to stay with Ronke but Ronke had told her that she used her house for her ‘business’ and it would be a real inconvenience having her there. She had sent money to her but she decided to endure the insults of her friend in order to use the money for the Ipad she had desired. When she got that call, she had packed all her belongings in a flash. Met with her sister, collected the documents of the house and stormed the house like a real house owner would. Not even ten minutes after her arrival, she had received a rather unexpected guest – a man, accompanied by two police men. Instantly, she knew that the cocktail that Ronke had told her was just a cover-up. There was no one interested in marrying her. Ronke had told her that a man was interested in her and asked her to live with him and that that was the reason why she decided to give her her house. she had accepted the story that was due to her exceeding joy of having a house in her name. staring at the police men and the raging man, she presented an innocent and confused face. Now that she has a house in her name, she would not give it up so easily. “Yes, what can i do for you” she said, closing the door behind her and stepping out. the fat man scrutinized her. “She is not the one” he said to the police men. “Eh you, where is the owner of this house? i believe she must be your sister” Ajoke glared at him like he had lost his mind. “Mr man, i don’t know what has got into you ooo, this is my house” she adjusted her shirt and squared her shoulders. “Woman, you better cooperate with us” one of the police men said. Ajoke turned her smiling face at the young policemen. “Listen to me guys, i am the owner of this beautiful house, thanks to handsome guys like you. You can come and check my documents” she said blinking while the old man was foaming. The men were wooed by her gestures. they followed her inside checked all the documents and confirmed it did not have the name mentioned by man, not even the surname. the requested for her national ID card and she fished it out. The old man just looked like he was dreaming. The ever accommodating Joke brought out a bottle of champagne and invited them to join. What do you expect? the policemen obliged. “Is this what i brought you here to do?” the chief yelled. The policemen glared at him. “Shut up your mouth old man. Wetin you expect make we do? We suppose arrest you sef. You no know the person wey you dey find. Na God catch you. Old man like you go dey pursue small babes wey we suppose dey hammer” one of the policemen ranted, sipping his wine. The chief, obviously frustrated stormed out cursing. The policemen had left minutes later, apologizing for the inconvenience and Joke called her friends for proper house-washing celebration. This house has become hers and she would not let it go for anything in the world. Over her dead body. ********** ********** Chief Rammon got to his house dejected. He could not believe his bad luck. He had woken up to an empty room with his briefcase nowhere to be found. The money is not even his own. Fifty Million Pounds. So much bad luck for wanting to cool his blood. He swallowed as his wife ranted and ranted about his useless life. He did not even yell back like he used to before, only walked into his bedroom like a robot, locked the door and fell on the bed in tears. He had hurried to Ronke’s house< hoping to still find her there but he met a locked gate. He had assigned someone who was close by to inform him immediately there is any slight movement and had received a message after four hours. Before that time, he had called and called but it did not go through. He placed the pillow on his head. His life is ruined.Tikes arrived Ajide Close in a vehicle with two of his guys around 9pm. Oyin had told him that the girl is a very sharp and cunning girl. He had boasted of the fact that she could not do anything but he decided not to take chances. He would do a clean job. He checked for number 44, noting the colour of the house. He checked the picture again and made a mental picture. He got to the gate and pressed the bell. A figure came out and he immediately identified the lady as the one he had seen in the picture. She opened the gate and he smiled. “Hello” he said and pulled the trigger.

EPISODE 39 I woke up with the intense desire to cook something wonderful for my hubby – it is a Saturday. After praying a short prayer, I set out to do just that. Richy had a very stressful day yesterday followed by a very extensive talk/argument. Yesterday night, we had talked and talked about all the events of the week. He had arrived looking so stressed out and tired that I almost discarded my anger to pamper him a bit, just as he does with me; but I reckoned that doing that would push aside the settlement of what was on ground. *** He entered and I welcomed him in a casual way without the usual welcome kiss. He looked at me critically with his tired eyes almost pleading for a loving affection. “What is the matter honey? No welcome kiss?” I shook my head slowly. “No sir. No kiss today, we need to talk”. I wanted to continue but I just couldn’t. He looked really tired that I decided to relent a little bit, even though I still had that carefully placed casual look. I collected his laptop bag and suit jacket, carrying them into the room. He tagged along, not uttering a word but I knew he must be terribly curious. Immediately we entered the masters’ bedroom, he just lay flat on the bed, closing his eyes without removing anything. It dawned on me that he must be terribly tired; that could only explain why he was not pestering me already. I pulled off his shoes and socks, massaging his feet with my hands. I moved to his shoulders, massaging them slowly. His tension eased a bit and he opened his eyes slowly. I felt stupid for challenging him immediately he entered even though that was the most reasonable thing to do when we tend to postpone issues a lot, enjoying each other’s company. Maybe that is why he did not even remember to tell me about Oyinade, I thought. Maybe he fired her because he already has a child on the way. I banished all evil thoughts from my brain as I stared at Richard’s tired profile. I tugged at his suit. “Why don’t you take a shower while I set your dinner” I said quietly. He looked into my eyes with his blue eyes, maybe reading my thoughts. Normally, he would have tried to know what was on my mind but he just nodded and sat up; maybe he hadn’t even heard me. He started unbuttoning his shirt but I went and took over from him, he shook slightly and I smiled. He smiled back. “You know the power you have over me, don’t you?” I feigned innocence which only made him smile more. After I had removed his clothes, I marched him to the bathroom like a kid, leaving him there to prepare his food. We lay on the bed after eating and listening to news. He was fidgeting with my hair; he loves touching it. “I am all ears. What do you want us to talk about that deprived me of my kiss?” Oh! So he heard. I sighed. “We can start by you explaining why you sacked Oyinade without telling me anything about it” Richard’s hand froze. I took that as affirmation and stood up. You are keeping secrets from me Richard and it is hurting me.” The very first time in months I would call him by his name. “I know the girl is a harlot bent on ruining other people’s marriages and I am partially happy that she is out of our lives but that does not negate the fact that you almost got her pregnant in the quest of having a child” Richard was up too, looking at me tongue-tied like something was wrong with me. That even made me angrier. “Tell me: since when did you stop believing that I could actually get pregnant?” He got back his tongue. “What nonsense are you ranting?” he growled. My eyes widened. “So now I am saying nonsense, right?” I spat glaring. “I don’t know what the hell is going through your brain but I certainly don’t know how a mere flimsy hug translates to getting her pregnant. What on earth put that idea in your head” he almost yelled, glaring. We glared at each other for some seconds before I looked away. “Well, it was not just the mere hug” I said quietly, boiling with anger. “I received a call a day before from an anonymous caller telling me of your escapades with your mistress. The hug was a confirmatory sign. ” I laughed slightly; bitterly. “As if that was not enough, she had the guts to visit me on the hospital bed after I fainted to explain to me how you desperately needed a child and that since I could not give you one, she was-” “What?” Richard yelled, cutting me short. He was pacing angrily while I stood with arms akimbo. “What rubbish? That lying wench…” he paced and paced, making me dizzy. “Oh… so she is lying? Easy to say since she is not here to defend herself.” I said cheekily. He stopped and glared at me. “You don’t believe me? Ok. Tell me what is between you and Kelvin. You met him before you met me and you must love him more but why must you have anything to do with him after all he did to you. I got the picture where you were holding him so affectionately and I saw him in your office also, so confident that you would not reject him. Tell me: what is going on?”

EPISODE 40 “I don’t love him. I didn’t love him before. I guess I was just attracted to him and I definitely did not hug him, I bumped into him” I said then proceeded to explain how it had all happened. He nodded. “now, you want me to believe all that and you won’t believe me?” he said quietly. He inched closer to me, his anger obviously fading. “Oyinade is just an over-ambitious girl. You’ve known me for a long time now, who do you believe? You do know that you are free to believe what you want” I looked at him silently. I trust him and always have but the evidence I had got was too much to put away. I looked down but he used his finger to raise my chin, causing me to look into his eyes again. “I want you to discern the truth from my eyes, look at me. I have not told you about all these because I did not want to hurt your feelings; and also due to your condition. You told me you didn’t like her and I did not listen and it hurt me to have her confess her guilt. Prisca found out the truth and was wise enough to play the detective role” Richard smiled, causing me to smile also. I scoffed and said in a quiet voice. “And do you also believe that there is nothing between Kelvin and I? I don’t even love him, at least not even up to a quarter of how much I love you” He smiled. “I knew that and that is why I made peace with Kelvin today”. I raised my eyebrow in surprise. He laughed. “yes, I was surprised I did that too. He finally gained consciousness and I just felt pity instead of the usual anger I feel. He challenged me for helping him despite our dispute, saying that all I wanted was to shove my victory in his face” he shook his head. “all I saw then was a man who is deeply embittered about the prospect of losing you. It is definitely too much to handle and if I were to be in his shoes, I would have done likewise. I offered him my friendship after a long time arguing my intentions, he accepted. I guess he was just touched that I could help him after all he did to me.” I laughed happily and hugged him tight. I have already forgiven Kelvin immediately I heard of his accident. “I love you Richard, very very much” He pulled me and held my waist, looking into my eyes with a thoughtful look. “Do I love you? Hmmm… I love you like kilode” We roared in laughter, laughed and laughed. The Yoruba language sounded so awkward from his accentuated mouth that the mere thought of the word made me laughed the more. “I love you” he kissed me deeply. “so we are settled now right?” he stretched lazily. “Do I now get a proper welcome kiss?” I scoffed. “What of the one you stole now?” “As you’ve said, it was stolen” he stood, waiting. I inched closer slowly and when his eyes were dropping shut, I kissed him on the cheek, leaving him spell bound. I jumped on the bed and covered myself with the blanket. Trust him, he ranted and ranted about how unfair that was, coming over to disturb the living daylight out of me. *** Richard held my waist from behind, startling me. The aroma in the kitchen was so heavenly that even my mouth watered. After the usual kisses and greetings, I turned to him, holding his neck with my hands and gazing up at him. He looked round and round, trying to determine what I was preparing but I refused to tell him. After an extensive try, he gave up and took my advice of sitting in the sitting room and watching TV. I smiled. He has no idea what I had in store for him.
