VAL'S Diary Series *SEASON 2B *moments before nysc & life as a corper

*continues* "what's over?" she asked again, but instead of answering, i kissed her strongly, stunning her with my action. "val what's up with you, why are you acting so strange?" she asked, forcefully breaking away from me. "it seems like you have forgotten the conditions i gave you at home, should i repeat them??" she asked with a raised tone. "conditions or no condition, what matters is that i love you dearest, have no doubt about it" i said calmly, while she stared at me with a confused face. "is this a trick?, what happened to you out there?, tell me i can understand, i have always stood by you, havn't i??" she asked, drawing close to me with concern. "l feel like taking you out for a treat, nothing is wrong with me. Don't i have the right to express my feelings?" i asked with deep emotion. She breathed deeply and backed me. "it has been long, i last saw you in such high spirit. I'm confused, it dosen't look right" she murmured. I gently wrapped my hands around her. "baby i understand your fear, but please say nothing more" i pleaded quietly, placing my lips on her neck and breathing in her sweet scent. "we have climbed the highest mountain together, swarm the deepest sea together, and been through a lot of experiences together. In each occassion you reached out to save me when it looked as if i wouldn't make it. You never abandoned nor gave up on me. What else can i say dearest" i whispered, my right hand finding her right bosom which i softly squeezed. She moaned and gave a weak struggle. "you just want to take advantage of me all over again. You are saying all these words simply because you are horny" she accused quietly. "my dearest, please stop saying nonsense" i begged as i turned her to face me. We stared at each other for a while before i closed in on her with my lips. We hungrily kissed passionately, ending up on the floor where we made great love. It really was so sweet and lovely, her body responding savagely to my thrusts, while her cries filled the room with beautiful melody. It really was a rediscovered passion. "jeez, i can't believe i did this with you" she gasped when we were done an hour later. "how many rounds did you go on me?" she curiously asked, resting her head on my chest. "just two, weren't you conscious when it was all going down?" i murmured smiling, "and you did everything without protection eeh" she completed, raising her head to give me an angry stare. I closed my eyes and said nothing. "i will kill you if you ever break my heart again" she jokingly threatened, got up and headed to the bathroom. I breathed deeply, feeling happy. But my happiness was cut short because my phone rang a minute later, showing Tessy's phone number on the screen. I quickly answered the call with apprehension. "Val i'll like to see you in my house before an hour, no excuses, else you will regret ever crossing me" she ordered and hung up, leaving me extremely stunned and indecisive. "should i honour her invitation or not?" i deeply wondered, a bit scared over the cold way she spoke to me. "I should've seen this coming right from the start, beware of women like Tessy, beware of a woman with a broken heart" my head sang. To be continued. UNBRIDLED PASSION starting soon on coolval22.com

*continues* "you look very dull, what's the matter?" Adaora asked as we sat down for dinner. I forced out a smile, trying to hide my feelings. "c'mon i'm okay, why did you ask such question?" i replied. She shrugged and kept quiet, while i faced my meal with a heavy heart. Tessy's phone call earlier in the afternoon really upset and sickened me. Of course i refused to honour her invitation nor call her which made me very tensed up. I didn't know what to expect from her nor what she planned doing. The only hope i had was knowing she wouldn't get back at me too quickly, at least till she knows my real stand over everything that was happening between us. I unfortunately found myself between the devil and the deep sea once again. I never bargained for the turn out of events, even though i should have know better. I thought Tessy would have been too proud and angry to have anything to do with me anymore, but instead she preferred giving me a chance to defend myself, which i wasn't willing to take. I was tired of it all. "what do i do?" i wondered as i ate, expecting her phone call any minute. I knew she would call again. Fortunately she called very late in the night, when i was slowly falling asleep in the comfort of my room. "I didn't see you at my house, why did you disobey me?" she quietly asked as soon as i answered the phone. "because i don't want to see you again" i replied calmly, "why?, do you have any explanation for what you just said?" she asked, surprising me with her calm tone. "things are not as they seem, anyway i have nothing to explain to you sha. My girl and i just got engaged" i lied, stopping to breathe deeply. "i don't want to disappoint my family anymore. My mum almost died because of my reckless way of life, thanks to you. I do care for you alot, but i have to do the right thing" i concluded, stunning her with my words which i knew exploded in her head like a bomb. "do the right thing you say, is this the right thing huh?" she angrily asked after a minute of silence. "you ate my meal, enjoyed my body, spent my money, dug a hole in my heart, and now giving me this crap of a news. Damn you Val, Damn you" she shouted in anger. I felt bad hearing her outburst, but i had no choice than to say those heart-breaking words to her. I had a duty to Adaora, i had to keep the promise i made to her, i also had to keep the promise i made to Elinor, at least to get her off my back. Nevertheless i equally needed the break, it was an opportunity to reposition my life and make something good out of it. Just like Adaora once told me, "the atitude you carry on with your life will determine your future" "this isn't over, i'm not some tramp you can just push away. Mind you i'm a society lady, don't try messing with me" she threatened. "i'm leaving Abuja tomorrow, i'm sorry over everything. I'll come see you at the right time" i seriously promised. "you will live this city only when i say so. You need a very good spanking. I invested so much in you. My feelings, pride, love, money. You will run to me tomorrow, watch and see" she angrily said and hung up, while i closed my eyes, dropped my phone and wondered what she could be planning. Early the next morning, Adaora rushed into my room with a shocking news, "dearest i don't understand, see the message your friend Tessy just sent me. I wouldn't have shown it to you, if not for one thing" she said with a serious smile, giving me her phone which I eagerly collected. "hi dear, i have something important to tell you. I will be at your house very early tomorrow, hope you will have the time? Happy sunday, Tessy". My heart leapt after reading it. "damn she's coming here!" i gasped, while Adaora nodded, staring at me in a curious manner. To be continued. Do stay tuned.

*continues* "my dear i'm really as surprised as you are" i murmured, returning her phone. "hmmmm, well i have nothing to lose waiting for her" Adaora smiled and stood up. "seriously i think she's trying to pass a coded message across, but what i don't know is who the message is meant for" she said with an accusing look. I scoffed, trying very hard to calm my nerves. "why do you say so?" i asked, "feminine instinct" she replied, breathed deeply and left my room. I quickly rushed to the toilet and urinated. "what the hell is Tessy planning?" i wondered nervously. The text message she sent Adaora nearly split my heart into two, and i had no choice than to call her few minutes later. At least to know her mind. "I have been expecting your phone call. Happy sunday" She greeted as if all was fine. "Adaora showed me the text you sent her, what's up with you?" i anxiously asked. "everything is going accordingly in my own end, how about your's?? I knew she was going to show you the message, what do you think?, isn't it cool?" she asked with a mockery tone, which spoilt my mind very much. "i don't understand you. I thought you are a respectable lady, why now are you behaving like a teenager? " i asked, "because i'm desperate. You didn't honour my invitation leaving me with no choice than to look for a way to visit you. What's so wrong with it?" she asked in defence. "fine i will come see you tomorrow" i murmured, "tomorrow?, jeez say something else, tomorrow is work day. I'll be very busy" she replied, but before i could say another word. I heard knocks at my room door. "we will talk later, please don't show up here, please" i begged, hung up and erased her phone number from the call log, before opening the door for Adaora who stared at me murderously. "i knew you would call her. You are scared arn't you?. You were speaking with her that's why you locked your door" she shouted. "calm down dear" i pleaded quietly, "i have been trying to reach her till this moment but her line is engaged. I'm not stupid" she rasped. "calm down dear, i'm not denying anything. Yes i called her because i was anxious to know the reason she's coming, which is quiet natural. Remember you asked me to stay away from her" i defended myself, calming her down a bit with my reply. "if that's the case, what did she say?, what was her reply?" she curiously asked, while i swallowed hard. Her question a difficult one. "she was surprised when i told her about the text she sent you. According to her, it was meant for a friend. She never realised she sent it to you till i called, can you imagine?" i answered innocently. Adaora simply scoffed and eyed me. "you really expect me to believe what you just said?, anyway i still have to confirm by asking her myself, since i was the person that got the text" she said, dialling Tessy's phone number, while I speechlessly stared at her thinking fast. I had to stop her from speaking with Tessy, but how do i do it without creating more suspicion? "hello?" i soon heard Tessy's voice over her phone as she turned on the loudspeaker. My head was full. Adaora was unknowingly playing into Tessy's hands. My too many secrets threatened. My mistake was never admitting to Adaora of having sexual relations with Tessy and i was very determined to continue keeping the dirty secret. To be continued.

Hmm! Make I open my eye

*continues* "hello, hello!, please speak up, i'm not hearing you" Tessy's voice sounded over the phone. Adaora gave me a look, breathed deeply and faced her phone. "hi Tess, good morning" she greeted, preparing herself for the questions ahead. "hello!, hello!!, i still can't hear you. Please call back later, i'm driving" i heard Tessy say, making me heave a sigh of relief. "hmmm, she's driving" Adaora said to me, ending the phone call. I shrugged, yawned and returned to my bed. "was she driving when you called her?" she asked curiously. "i really don't know because she never said so" i answered. "hmmm, but it's too earlier to be driving, unless she's going to church", she murmured and left the room, while I tossed around on my bed, restlessly thinking over everything. "what do i do know?" i wondered. An idea quickly struck me, i grabbed my phone and typed a message for Tessy. "Thanks for covering up the act, i'll be at your house very early tomorrow. I Can't come today, Adaora is very suspicious and nosy" i typed and sent to Tessy, praying she understands. __ The rest of the day was uneventful and boring. Adaora refused to go out that sunday, instead stayed at the house waiting for Tessy that never came. While i spent my day replaying and going through the recorded converstation i had with Elinor the previous day, but i was disappointed because the audio quality wasn't audible. I had a hard time picking out words from the conversation. However as the clock struck 6pm, Adaora became extremely upset. But for a reason best known to her, she refused calling Tessy again, saving me a whole lot of stress. Anyway i still felt her pains and tried my best to make her happy. _____ we had a quiet dinner that evening, after which i walked up to her as she was washing the dishes. Holding her by the waist, i kissed her neck softly. "please don't let today's incident upset you. Remember you asked me to not to have anything to do with that Lady again, why now are you allowing things concerning her get to you?" i quietly asked. "who told you, i'm upset?" she replied with a question, "oh yes you are, you really ruined our day with your behaviour, and you know i will be leaving tomorrow" i quietly said, while She quickly turned and faced me. "i thought you wanted to spend some days with me?" she asked, "yea wasn't this weekend enough?, you know i have a duty to perform at my PPA" I answered. She shrugged. "alright, it's cool" she murmured. My sudden departure plan really was caused by Tessy. I earlier had hoped to stay with Adaora till wednesday, but with the way things were going. I was forced to draw out another plan, which was seeing her very early on monday, before heading out of town, even though i never really expected to achieve much with it. But i was very hopeful. MONDAY, 6:40AM "i'm very sorry over what happened yesterday. I spoilt everything with my character. Just forget about it please" Adaora pleaded and kissed me, when i was ready to leave. I smiled and hugged her. "just take good care of yourself wifey. I promise to be of good behaviour over there" i said sweetly. She rolled her eyes and kissed me strong. "i love you with all my heart" she breathed. By 7:20am, i found myself in Tessy's sitting room, anxiously waiting for her to show up from the bedroom. She soon appeared, smiling confidently, her eyes on my small travelling bag. I breathed deeply, silently praying for all to go well.................. Was visiting Tessy with my suitcase a wrong or good move?? Hmmmm, do watch out for the next episode. To be continued.

Its a wrong move. She don get u again

*continues* "oh my dear, you are here already" Tessy said happily, her eyes lighting up with joy. I nodded quietly, my heart furiously pounding. If not for the househelp who was still in the sitting room, i believed she would have hugged me. "why didn't you let her take care of your bag?" she asked, "because i'm travelling, i will soon be heading back to Imo state" i answered while she instantly frowned and breathed deeply. "i believe we have alot to talk about, let's go to my room" she said with a controlled voice. I shrugged and followed her without hesitation. "what the hell do you mean by what you just said to me in the sitting room?" she asked as soon as we got to her room. I breathed deeply and went close to her. "yea i'm serious about all i said there, and also serious about all i told you on saturday" i answered. She bit her lips and turned her back on me. "i feel like slapping you right now. Do i look like an object to you?" she asked angrily. I breathed deeply, saying nothing. "do i look like something you can switch feelings on anytime you like?. For God's sake i'm a human being, i do a lot for you. I hate you right now, seriously. I'm not even mentioning about Elinor and what i feel you guys are doing" she rasped, leaving me speechless with all she said. "you won't say anything?" she suddenly turned and asked. "what more do you expect me to say huh?, i only came here to plead with you to leave Adaora out of this. If you need to vent out your anger on anyone, please vent it on me" i pleaded. She scoffed and shook her head. "no mister, on the contrary i think she's my only obstacle, she's the wall blocking my path. Either i climb over it to get to my destination, or i demolish it and get there" she said seriously. "Tessy what are you saying?" i asked fearfully. "all i'm saying is that i deserve as much right as she does. I'm not selfish, no other lady would have tolerated all you are doing to me without taking serious action. As for travelling today, you better cancel the plan because you are not going anywhere till i say so" she said with a threatening tone. "are you threatening me?" i asked. She rolled her eyes and hugged me, surprising me with her behaviour. "it's not wrong to fight for your property. I'm just doing what i feel is best for me, moreover we are way too deep into this together. You are the only guy that has seen my nakedness after breaking up with my husband. Do you think it's easy for me as a woman?" she asked, while i swallowed hard. "we have a lot to discuss but let's keep it till later in the day, i'm almost late for work. There isn't anything bad in spending just a day with me?, let's go to my office together, we can still talk some things over there" she pleaded. ____ By 9:30am we quietly walked into her office. I couldn't believe myself nor the sudden change of heart. The way she pleaded with me really touched a part of my heart, making me fall weakly like a dead wood. Two girls were already at her office waiting, keeping theirselves busy with magazines which they were reading. "i'm so sorry girls for showing up late. Traffic" Tessy apologized and walked to her desk, while the girls politely smiled, dropping the magazines they were reading. My heart instantly froze as soon as i saw their faces. They were no other girls but the twins i had a little chat with some weeks back. They equally coloured up as soon as they saw me. One looked at me ferociously, while the other held her sister's hand. I couldn't help but wonder what was going through their minds. I quietly turned and left the room before Tessy could say anything else. I deeply breathed in fresh air as soon as i was outside, my mind wandering to and fro. But surprisingly one of the twins came out to meet me five minutes later. With hands on her waist, she angrily stared at me in a very disrespectful manner. To be continued. NEXT>> LITTLE WINNIE

*continues* "so you are the guy messing up and decieving sister Oge?, i never knew you were that devilish when i stupidly gave you my phone number" she said angrily, stunning me with her words. "Sister Oge?" i murmured, staring at her with confusion. She scoffed and drew closer. "stop displaying that silly look, you very well know who i'm talking about. The lady you just left her office, what's her name?" she asked. "Tessy" i answered with a raised tone, "whatever," she said, flicking her hand in an annoying manner, "please allow her to train her children with the money her husband left her. Stop decieving and duping her" she warned coldly, deeply annoying me with her insolent behaviour. "I beg your pardon, stop the insult please. Better ask your 'sister Oge', what i do with her and stop ranting rubbish. Is this how you go about embarrassing every guy you see with your so called sister?. Where are your manners little girl?" i shouted at her. She stepped back a little and stared at me with confusion. "if there is someone decieving your sister, better investigate properly before pouncing on anyone. Damn i can't believe i got attracted to someone like you" i barked like a gentleman, totally ripping her apart with my words. She looked away with embarrassment, too stunned to talk. But seriously she really had guts to confront me. A very foolish behaviour from a girl with class. However the way i shouted at her made her realise her mistake, but thinking of it, perhaps she really came out to vent her disappointment or talk to me, camouflaging her motive with the accusation. Well a lady's mind is very complex, she alone knew what was in her head that moment. "alright, perhaps i'm wrong" she murmured with embarrassment, turned and headed back towards Tessy's shop. I breathed deeply and smiled. "hey wait, not so fast. You know i lost your phone number, that's the reason i havn't been calling" i lied. She stopped without turning, "there isn't any need having it. I will be leaving for school on wednesday. So just forget about it" she answered. "which school?" i asked curiously, "Abia state University" she answered and headed back to Tessy's office, leaving me a bit stunned with Joy. There really was something about her that always made my spirit high. "wow we will meet in the east" i smiled, confidently. Three minutes later, the twins headed out from Tessy's shop and left, while i went in to meet Tessy, who was already on her feet, a handbag slung on her shoulder. "seems like those girls are family?" i curiously asked, "sort of, their mother is my godmother and we are very close. They see me as their big sister" she replied with a smile. "let's go check my new project" she said as left the office with me.... **** We arrived at her house by 6:30pm very tired and exhausted. My respect and admiration for Tessy grew after being taken round all the businesses she ran. It was a very busy day for us and i couldn't help but also notice her good memory when she was having a brief chat with one of her workers earlier in the day. We were very surprised to see Elinor when we walked into the sitting room, and she too was extremely surprised to see me, but cleverly hid her surprise with a calm smile. "Elinor dear, i know we have a lot to talk but please let's leave it for tomorrow" Tessy politely said to her. She quickly nodded and stood up. "very well then" she said with a smile, giving me a cold look as she left. I quietly walked to the guest room, where i quickly relaxed, while Tessy spent sometime with her children. I couldn't help but wonder what was going through Elinor's mind that moment. I never bargained on meeting her in such a surprising manner. Tessy came to see me later in the night, with a bundle of naira notes which she held on her right hand. She quietly sat at the edge of the bed and stared at me for a while. "i guess you are sleeping here?, i can't force you to come sleep in mine" she said calmly, while i kept quiet. "here is the fifty thousand i promised you" she said, dropping the money by my side. "i always keep my promise, not like you, and i can never take advantage of you, just like you are doing to me. It's not a crime to be divorced. It's not a sin to be without a husband. Good night" she said with a very soft voice as if she was holding herself from crying, slowly got up and left the room, while i closed my eyes unable to say anything. I really can't write how i felt that moment. It was no fault of hers that she was madly in love with me. Even though i wanted to be free from her. I was incapable of breaking her heart. To be continued.

While ur story is well written, ur stupidity when it comes to playing women is unmatched worldwide, when a woman threatens a players home she gets dumped fsater than hot potato. She threatens ur girl, u threaten her family case close.

*continues* "how do i free myself from Tessy without hurting her?" i wondered as i tossed around on my bed. I was unable to sleep, my thoughts wandering to and fro. Early the next morning, Tessy came into the room, lowered herself beside me, breathing deeply. "Good morning, hope you slept well?" she asked, "yea, good morning" i answered calmly. "are you still leaving today, or have you changed your mind?" she asked with expectation. I breathed deeply and drew close to her. "yes i'm leaving this morning. You know i'm still a corper, and i don't want running into any problem at my PPA" i answered and explained. "and when am i seeing you again?" she asked, "in two weeks" i answered softly, even though i knew i wasn't going to keep my word. The only solution i came up with the previous night was avoiding anything that could lead me back to her, which invariably meant that if i was willing to free my soul and body from her influence, the best thing to do was to leave Abuja and never come back. A hard but wise solution, which i barely knew how long i could keep. I had great love for the capital city and so deciding to stay away from it, really was a harsh decision. "alright i will drop you at the bus station, whenever you are ready" she said with a forced smile. There wasn't any doubt that she was unhappy, she was bravely suffering in silence, which really got to me. As she tried to stand up, i pulled her back on the bed, kissing her strongly, my hands fondling and caressing her sleek body with great abandon. She moaned and wriggled, trying hard to control her surging emotions. Within minutes, i got her unclad and ready for action. "oh ahhhhh dear, you never seize to amaze me" she sang as i turned on her engine. In a twinkle of an eye, we got down to the main act, where i devoured and ravaged her to my fill. To me it was a sort of good bye sex, but to her it was like those moments i brought out time to satisfy her. Oh yes i made sure i left her Very satisfied. Two hours later she happily dropped me at the bus station, with a look of fulfillment in her eyes. "i really don't know what came over you this morning, but thanks all the same. I totally enjoyed it. You are the best" she said to me. I smiled and alighted from her car, happy that i left her satisfied with my goodbye sex. "are you actually sure it was a good bye sex?" an annoying part of me asked. Elinor's phone call soon broke my peace of mind, as i headed to Owerri in a sharp, fast running bus. I knew the reason she was calling, i breathed deeply and answered. "hi Elinor, i'm sorry about Saturday, i was forced to be with her. I have now left for good. You won't see me again with her. I promise" i said before she could say anything. "alright, i do hope so" she murmured and hung up, leaving me with a very big doubt which quickly returned to my mind. "is it actually the end with Tessy?" i wondered as the bus headed to Owerri. The fifty thousand Naira She gave me, safely in my trouser pocket. To be continued. {Please i forgot to mention in the previous episode, that i called Adaora on phone, when Tessy was busy with her children in the evening, lying to her that i was at my PPA} Do stay online for more

Next

*continues* I had a hard time staying at my PPA without any plans of visiting Abuja. It equally was very painful because my car wasn't with me. I felt incomplete being there without my ride. However as days sped by, another idea came into my head. An idea which soared my restless spirit very high. The idea that came into my head, was all about renting an apartment at a very decent part of Owerri. A place i could use as a safe haven, a place i could stay whenever i visited Owerri. My cousin's house {chinedu season 2A} had always been like a second home to me, whenever i was at the metropolis, but he wasn't a full time bachelor anymore, and we wern't close as we used to be since his status changed. Yes i still was very much welcomed in his home, but i thought it wise to secure an apartment for myself. Silly or not, the idea stayed in my head till i contacted a friend who directed me to a very good agent. Three days later, the agent called to tell me about an empty apartment in Ikenegbu, part of owerri. I rushed into town the next day, saw the house, a newly built two storey building which had two bedrooms, plus a sitting room, small kitchen and toilet per apartment. It was just the type i wanted, even though the price tag on it was way too exhorbitant. I however paid for it, {including the agent fee}, secured the apartment and returned to my PPA. Seriously it drained a lot of money from my family's account, and i still had to find a way of withdrawing another lump sum in furnishing it. All these i did within few days of returning to my PPA, without seeking advice from anyone. To me i felt i was doing the right thing, even though i equally knew it was a very extravagant deed. But In order to satisfy a part of my conscience, i refused furnishing the apartment until i was able to squeeze out money from another source. Hmmmm which other source? Nysc allowance??? Funny.... **** Tessy's phone calls however intensified after the end of the second week {that i promised her}. She kept appealing, and using sweet words each time she called. Reminding me that i was breaking my word all over again. "don't make me believe that your word isn't worth a penny" she always ended up saying. I was seriously, tempted. My soul, spirit and body was willing, but somehow i still managed to stay back, counting the days. I needed a big distraction to keep my mind busy, but there really wasn't any. The insolent twin that almost insulted me few weeks back, soon came to my mind. I tried establishing a relationship with her but was unsuccessful. She kept insisting i come to her school first, something i wasn't ready to do, at least not without my ride. Staying at my PPA for three weeks at a row without my car, surprised everyone especially mum, my immediate younger sister and Adaora, who was a bit suspicious but happy that i had truly changed. Perhaps it was her suspicion that made her decide to pay me a visit. A very surprising one, because she actually informed me of her intention, a day before arriving. "dearest, i'm going to stay three weeks with you" was the exact words she said to me, when she was safely in my little room. But i couldn't believe her. I instantly laughed it off as a funny joke. "one thing was certain, she won't be able to survive three weeks in that hell-hole, or could she??" hmmmm To be continued. Do stay for more

Lolz

*continues* The first week went by slowly and uneventful. We enjoyed each other's company, and lived happily. We never had any problem because i behaved nicely. However Tessy's annoying phone calls could have jeopardized the whole fun, had i not cautioned her in a very disrespectful manner. After discovering that i wasn't going to keep my word about travelling to be with her. I had hoped that her phone calls would reduce, but on the contrary, it increased tremendously, forcing me to finally shout at her, when i couldn't stand the calls any longer. Moreover i was with Adaora in a single room and there wasn't space for any sort of privacy. Tessy couldn't believe her ears the day i shouted at her. I told her that our relationship has ended, and that i won't be coming to Abuja ever again to see her. "Please forget about me, i can't continue with the relationship anymore" i ended up saying. "just like that val?, just like that?" was all she was able to mutter after a prolonged silence. I ended the call without giving her any reply, and i knew for the first time she realised that i was very serious. She never called me again throughout that week, something i so badly wanted. However It really wasn't my mind to end our relationship in such manner, but i had to do everything possible to safeguard my relationship with Adaora, moreover i had no future with her. The rest of the week went very fine, even though Adaora complained i was paying less attention to her and always busy online with my computer. She never for once suspected i was writing about her. Lol My corper friend Jenny, was another person she wasn't comfortable with, but Jenny being a very smart girl kept her distance and never gave her cause to be confrontational. We also began talking and planning about our future during that period. She still insisted on travelling out of the country after her Nysc programme, something i really wasn't comfortable with. On the third week the devil struck again with a powerful thunderstorm. Early Monday morning of the third week, Adaora showed me two nasty photos of me, sleeping half unclad on Tessy's bed. I was extremely shocked and speechless when i saw the pictures, because i never knew they existed. "you see your life?, do you know who sent them to me?, no wonder she insisted on having my contact in all the social networks" she asked and said angrily as i glanced at the pictures. I couldn't say anything, i knew who sent them already, and i felt it was the end with Adaora. I simply ran out of the room and called Tessy who answered my call after it rang six times. "i guess you have seen the pictures?, i still have dozens more to send and it dosen't end there. No one plays with my feelings, you can ask my ex husband" she said, rudely ending the call and switching off her phones. I WAS DAMNED To be continued.

I wonder how she want to have u back if she successfully destroy ur relationship with Adaora

*continues* "i'm sorry, i know i have lots of explanation to do. I just don't know where to start" i said quietly to Adaora when i returned to my room. She scoffed and rolled her eyes. "hmmm i think you should first figure out a way of getting all the pictures of you she has, which i know will be quite impossible. Do you even know what she could do with those pictures?" she seriously asked, while i breathed deeply, saying nothing. "she can tarnish your image to an irrepairable degree if you don't know" she concluded. "i will figure out a way to recover them" i murmured half heartedly. "i will be travelling to Enugu tomorrow morning" she announced seconds later, leaving me more than worried. "why nau?" i asked desperately, my face colouring more. "i promised to stay three weeks and we are on the third week, what's so bad with my decision?. Just let me be jor" she answered with a raised tone. Silencing me with her reply. Even though she tried to appear cool, which was very unusual of her. I knew she was extremely upset with me. But having no clue on how to appease her, i simply let her be. I finally got Tessy on phone again later in the evening, my heart pounding furiously as she answered the call. "please stop disturbing me, i'm very busy, and don't ever call any of my lines again. I don't need you anymore, i have nothing to do with confused, selfish little boys. Grow up" she shouted at me and hung up, killing my already wounded spirit. I didn't know what to do, the future appeared sour to me. I felt like crying. I tried murmuring some explanations to Adaora later in the evening, but the cold stare she gave me made me to quickly shut up. "you want to start another lie abi, go ahead nah??" she hissed angrily. Tessy destroyed everything with that singular action. I knew she wasn't hoping to achieve anything other than to make me miserable and it was already working. Early the next morning, i went with Adaora to Owerri where she boarded an Enugu bound bus. I felt like crying as the bus departed. I had a very strange feeling about her departure. I felt it was the last between us, though it wasn't her fault but mine. I knew she was silently suffering over everything. She couldn't eat all through the previous day, and only ate two slices of bread in the morning. The drawn face and sadness in her eyes said it all. I dreaded knowing what was in her mind. But the unspoken reality was that our relationship was at the brink of death, only a miracle would revive it. How do i start to redeem my life?, how do i stage a counter attack on Tessy?, where do i go from here?? Nothing good ever comes from Cheating. Cheating kills and destroys. There i was at a crossroad, hopelessly out of options. To be continued.

Nah ur cross. Carry it.

*continues* By thursday evening, i made up my mind to travel to Abuja once again, bearing in mind to have some serious talks with Tessy. It really took me three days of deep thinking to come up with the idea, even though my mind wasn't strong about at all. Adaora was still at Enugu with my parents, after spending two days at her family house. She still answered my calls which was a very welcomed development, but it never meant that our relationship wasn't still shaking from the matchet wound Tessy inflicted on it. Travelling to Abuja under such circumstances wasn't really something which was made with a peaceful mind. I planned seeing Tessy, without coming up with any idea on how to settle things with her. Later in the evening{thursday}, i called her on phone, praying she answers the call. Luckily she answered with a gruff voice. "i will be at your house by saturday evening. Hope it will be okay by you?" i informed her calmly. "no problem. I dey" she murmured and hung up, giving me no chance to say any other thing. ___ Saturday finally arrived. I prayed for the first time before heading to Owerri. My head pounding furiously, my body system in complete disarray. Yet i couldn't really give myself a simple answer on what i plan talking with her. Was it to beg??. Hmmmm. I arrived the capital city by 6:30pm, rushed to a small cafe, where i ate a plate of hot rice and beans {because i ate nothing before embarking on that strange journey}. I restlessly ate, glancing at my watch every other minute, as i tried to draw out another plan. 7:38pm i walked into Tessy's compound and was led to the backyard, by a househelp who told me that she was waiting for me there. I really was surprised, but had no choice than to go with her. On getting there, i was surprised to see Tessy sitting with two bulky men who were dressed in military camfouflage. My first instinct was to run, but i bravely waved away my fear and approached them. My eyes on Tessy, whose face instantly lit up when she saw me. But as i drew closer to her. I saw myself in the air, crashing on the floor seconds later. I was shocked, i was dazed, i was stunned. I was extremely flabbergastered. My ear smarting painfully, which made me realise that i wasn't only kicked, but slapped as well. The two men descended on me like angry Mexican bulls, whipping and kicking me without respect. I couldn't find the voice to scream, nor the mind to fight them in self defence. They had a good time dealing with me, while my body burned painfully. "so na dis fine madam you wan dupe kia!, shege!" they cursed with anger as if my problems with Tessy took a pound of their flesh. "make sure you return her five hundred thousand naira before the end of this year, or my oga go carry tank come finish your family" one of them shouted, kicking my a.ss. "five hundred thousand?? No no no" i managed to protest, an action which further infuriated them. The tallest drew out his belt. "enough, it's okay" i heard Tessy command, while i heaved a sigh of relief as i gasped for air. "no madam, we never start anything, the boy never learn im lesson. See as he just shout" they protested. "no wahala free him" she commanded again. To be continued. LITTLE WINNIE comes up later in the Day.

LITTLE WINNIE comes up later in the Day.

*continues* "let me handle the rest" she said to the solidiers, who quickly drew back without another word. I tried to stand but couldn't, spitting out blood as my eyes turned. I feared i had lost some of my ribs, which really alarmed me. I tried standing again, but this time, i collasped. ****** I opened my eyes to find myself in Tessy's room. I quickly sprang up, but felt a heavy pain in my chest which pushed me down on the bed again. Tessy was soon by my side. "easy, don't stress your body, you have been drugged. The pains will soon go away" she said quietly. I tried saying something but couldn't. My eyes closed, sending me back to dreamland. ________ I fully woke up hours later{6:15am sunday}, sitting up with a weak body, my head burning painfully. I sat for a while regaining my senses and thinking of my next step. Even though i was still unable to think properly. There was no denying that Tessy has taken our disagreement to a brand new level and i needed to upgrade my tactics, though unlike Elinor, she hardly bragged about anything and behaved like a saint while deep down her heart was as dark as coal. I really couldn't imagine how to carry out my own revenge, since i had sworn never to use violence in dealing with my enemies. Sighting my small bag, which was lying by the corner, i lazily fetched it, searching for my toothbrush, but i was surprised to see that my bag had been searched, though nothing was taken from it. The clothes i left at the bottom were now at the top. ______ "so how are you now?" Tessy asked, as i was dressing up painfully. The pains on my body returned as soon as i poured water on myself after brushing my teeth. "you don't want to talk to me?" she smiled, sitting on the bed expecting me to say something, but i just ignored her, dressed up and grabbed my bag. "please where are my phones?" i asked her coldly, "they are over there" she replied, pointing to a small table. I reached for my phones, checked them and was equally surprised to see that they had been tampered with. The settings{launchers} weren't the same as i left them. But i kept my feelings to myself and faced her. "i'm leaving" i said quietly, "hmmmm, not so fast, don't you think we have something to discuss?" she asked, while i shrugged. "i don't think so, because you have already threatened my family and decided that i'm owing you 500k, so be it" i said with a frown. She smiled, stood up and blocked me. "we can forget about all that happened yesterday, if you can just discard your decision about ending our relationship. I can compensate you handsomely for everything" she said calmly. I breathed deeply, closed my eyes, bit my lips and left her room without another word. As i left her house, i thought of my next line of action. The pain in my chest returned, seizing my breath. Where do i go from here? What do i do?? To be continued A great shoutout to our dear friends Mary-jane Obehi & ThankGod Tochukwu who got married yesterday in a breathtaking ceremony. Best wishes to you Guys...

Sorry o

*continues* I dialled Adaora's phone number as i waited for a taxi minutes later, wondering where she could be. "happy sunday dear, where are you?" i asked calmly, "i'm in Abuja nau, i returned yesterday, couldn't reach you though" she answered, "alright, i'm coming over" i said, surprising her with the announcement. "what?, are you in Abuja" she asked with a surprised tone, "yes, i'll explain when i get there" i answered and hung up, my heart bleeding with regret. Just that moment another call come through the same phone, and this time it was Elinor calling. I really was surprised to see her number on the phone screen. "hi dear, i heard what happened to you at Tessy's place and i couldn't help but feel sorry for you. I'm really sorry, where are you?, perhaps i can be of help" she asked calmly, "don't worry about me, thanks alot. I'm fine" i replied a bit rudely and hung up. Finally getting a taxi, i headed to Adaora's house, while my thoughts wandered carelessly. I couldn't help but think of the motive behind Elinor's strange phone call. She sounded as if she truly sympatized with me, which i deemed strange. ______ Adaora gasped as she opened the door. She stared at me speechlessly for some minutes before letting me into the house. I wanted her to hug me, i desperately wanted to feel her warm body, but she denied me the pleasure because of her displeasure over my recent scandals. "you look very awful and terrible, were you involved in an accident or what?" she curiously asked as i lowered myself on a couch. Sitting beside me, she examined me carefully. "i went to Tessy's house to have a talk with her concerning the pictures, but instead of obliging she sent two soldiers to beat me up" i explained, while her face coloured with surprise. "are you serious!" she exclaimed, "yea they almost killed me" i confessed, "i can imagine" she breathed. Opening my shirt to see some faint whip marks on my body. "i really don't know what to say to you. Seriously" she murmured, "i gave you everything you asked for. Or money?, you have lots already, seriously the devil really enjoys playing with you" she said with a broken spirit, while i closed my eyes unable to say anything. What could i ever say to justify my actions?. She really has seen alot, and still suffering because i simply refused to grow up. "i'm very confused, seriously. What if she killed you?, gosh" she snapped her fingers, "i don't even know my condition right now. I have been vomitting since yesterday evening" she added with a soft whimper. I lazily reached for her hand and held it, tears blinding my vision. Her phone rang that moment coming in between our emotions. "what's Tessy calling me for?" i heard her ask in wonder as she answered the call, switching on her phone speaker-out. "your boyfriend is trying to play a silly prank on me. Just warn him to be careful over what he is wishing for himself. I advise you as a friend, please try not to get involved. I know he is in there with you lying his a.ss off as usual" Tessy said plainly, making her words sound more of a threat than warning. "but hey, i'm already involved because he is not my boyfriend but husband, go get a life" Adaora yelled back, surprising Tessy who quickly changed tone once again. "fine, i hope you deal with it when it comes" she hissed and hung up, while i closed my eyes in shame. I couldn't believe Adaora was sticking out her Neck for me after all i did. But just as if she read my mind, she quickly faced me. "i will stand by you just for appearances and for nothing more" she said seriously, forgetting or purposely refusing to mention the current status of our relationship.... I couldn't help but wonder where every of my actions will lead to.... To be continued theme song, click to play

*continues* 7:45pm, Adaora's house "you know i can handle that obnoxious lady, if you let me" Adaora said as we enjoyed a quiet dinner. I scoffed and stared at her. "i have my contacts, moreover my mum is avilable to help with the right connections" she continued quietly, "hmmm please don't think of it, besides Tessy is equally highly connected, going by the way i feel you plan handling her. I fear the whole thing will be blown out of proportion and the press will fight each other with the resultant news" i mumured, while she shrugged, facing her meal. "na you sabi. I rest my help" she breathed. Early the next morning, she went to a lab. For a pregnancy test before heading to her PPA. She however returned two hours later with a bright face. "i'm not pregnant, now i can face other fears squarely" she joked. I spent Monday night, thinking and orchestrating the first stage of my plans against Tessy. By Tuesday morning, i had it mapped out and ready to execute. It was equally the day i planned travelling back to the east{1mo}. I spent an hour with Adaora in her room, apologizing all over again, and making promises which could have moved any girl but her. "you already know that i love you. I have nothing else to say" was all she could say to me. She never sounded harsh nor affectionate. Her heart really was one that has bled a thousand times over. I was near tears as we managed to hug before i left the house, heading straight to Tessy's office. I saw Tessy walking into her shop as i dropped from the Taxi. I smiled evily, closed my eyes with the new sunglass i bought minutes earlier and went after her. She was extremely surprised to see me at her office. The surprise and slight shock on her face suggested she was kind of scared. I never for a minute imagined she could be scared of me, which made me smile with both hands on my waist, looking big and cool. "were you following me?" she asked in a somewhat confused manner. "i hate what you did to me at your house and i so much resent what you did on sunday by calling my girlfriend" i said calmly, "and what do you intend to do?" she asked suspiciously. "nothing" i answered, confusing her a great deal, with my calm pose and behaviour. "i came to apologize and set things straight on saturday, but you showed me how bad you are. So now how do you think i can continue loving a woman who almost killed me?" i asked, while she blushed in regret. "i never took five hundred thousand Naira from you, but i will send you the money before christmas, just like you demanded. Please just leave my girl out, she will even help by contributing half the sum. So you see nothing will break us up" i boasted seriously, turning to leave, but just as i expected, she quickly grabbed my hand. "i was decieved by a friend. Elinor arranged the whole show. You know i can't afford harming you?" she begged like a child. Her revelation destablized my whole being. I was shocked beyond imagination, but still a bit suspicious. She really wasn't only smart but cunning. "I just don't know" i murmured and backed her, pretending to be confused. She came closer and held me from behind. "please my dearest, i really can't stand losing you" she begged, while i breathed deeply. "i'm heading back to the east to recover from the trauma, you will have your reply by saturday" i promised, "but just know that i will never step foot into your house again. If ever we are getting back, we will be meeting somewhere else" i said with a deceptive smile, my back still on her. "no problem" she accepted without hesistation. I turned, gave her a last look before disappearing. one week was the perfect time needed to finalize my plans and draw everything to a super conclusion. 'She used a horsewhip on me, i will use an iron rod on her'. To be continued.

'She used a horsewhip on me, i will use an iron rod on her'. To be continued.

*continues* For days, i busied myself planning my vengeance. I rehearsed and polished every bit of it, until it became part of me. There really wasn't any room for mistakes this time around nor last minute emotional breakdown, thus my heavy rehearsals. By friday evening, all was set and ready. My speech, the character to play, and the end result were all in my head. I planned executing everything alone without outside help. The vengeance i planned was very deadly and career breaking, but not violent. I hated a violent revenge, because of its threat to human life. Something i couldn't risk doing again. Throughout saturday, i eagerly waited for Tessy's phone call which never came, however early sunday morning, she called to know my mind. "seriously what did you really expect me to say?, the wound you inflicted on me is yet to heal" i said to her, sounding a bit broken and sad, after she asked of my well being. "i'm really sorry, i will compensate you handsomely, just give me the chance please" she begged. I breathed deeply and keep quiet for a while. "you have to prove your seriousness" i murmured, "how do i do that?" she asked curiously, "prove you love me by coming over to Owerri for my sake" i said softly, my heart furiously pounding with hope. She kept quiet for a while, i could hear her deep breathe through the phone. "but you know i'm a business woman. I can't just leave my business chasing over a boy, simply for few hours of fun" she slowly answered, killing my spirit. "alright you have denied me the only one thing i asked for. I have nothing else to say" i sounded as if i wanted to end the call. "but why do you want me to visit Owerri of all towns?, what kind of fun is in there?. The town is all hotels and clubs" she said desperately, "it's my town, i can get a rich hotel we could use as our love nest. We know how to make each other happy? Isn't it so?" i asked, while she kept quiet, taking some time to think. "alright i will take a plane down to Owerri next saturday. Don't bother about the hotel, I will arrange for it myself. Just keep yourself healthy for me. Remember my advice, 'try taking as much fruits as possible, they are more nutritious than you can imagine" she said, laughed and hung up, while i smiled evily. My pound of flesh was so close at hand, my knife ready to take a slice. ***** I travelled down to Enugu{home}, after the phone call with Tessy. Spent the rest of the day with my family, before heading back to Imo state the next day with one of my dad's cars {actually the same car i used some weeks back}. Mum never gave any form of resistance as i took the car because she believed i had changed. ______ I got to my lodge at a quarter past three in the afternoon. Hearing strange noises coming out from my neighbour's room, I quickly rushed to the room and banged on the door without wasting time. The noise instantly died down, which made me more suspicious. Had it been some other place that the noise was coming from, perhaps i wouldn't have been bothered, but it really was coming from Jenny's room. A girl who has been so close and nice to me. A girl who sometimes understood and reasoned with me. I definetly was sure i heard at least a male voice from the room which equally made me very suspicious, because as a female corper she entertained just few male visitors, who were mostly her students. The compound equally was very deserted and quiet. A very good time for criminal minded people. I banged on the door again and again, determined to pull it down. Suddenly, the door slightly opened, revealing a masked face and a gloved hand stretched out from the room, pointing a short local gun at me with the intention of drawing me into the room without any form of resistance, but unfortunately due to fear, i quickly attempted to shut the door in order to disappear. But on doing so, i forgot that the gloved hand was just inbetween the door and lock, thus making my attempt a futile one. Instead of closing, the door banged on the gloved hand, making the owner shout out in pain, the gun falling lazily at the same time towards me. I drew back and seized it out of fear than bravely, before he could reach for it...... Thus I found myself holding a gun i couldn't shoot. The disarmed bandit staring down at me. How many of them were inside the room??, i equally couldn't tell... To be continued.

Nah action film be this o

*continues* Suddenly the disarmed bandit came upon me as if he knew i wouldn't dare shoot, which gave me a reason to think that perhaps the gun wasn't functional or had no bullet in it. He leapt at me with great force which sent both of us flying over the pavement in front of Jenny's room. I crash landed on the hard soil, some part of my right elbow peeling off in the process and putting me through great pain. Thus i found myself pinned on the floor by a not too courageous bandit, who snatched the seized gun from my wounded hand without much struggle and ran after his colleagues who were already escaping through the route they came from. I heaved a sigh of relief, lazily got up and dusted myself, while Jenny ran out from her room, hugging me happily. "you are my hero, you saved me from being raped" she happily said as if i did anything extra ordinary. "what of your roomate?" i curiously asked while she sighed, "please don't ask me about that girl" she replied sadly. She couldn't sleep in her room that night, despite all the assurances the landlady and i gave her. She insisted on sleeping in my room and very early the next day left town without taking permission from anyone. "my life is more important than Nysc, i will return when i feel like" were the last words she said to me before leaving that fateful day. _____ I spent two serious days at my PPA before heading to my new apartment in Owerri. Finally furnishing it with few properties i managed to buy, and making the place look habitable. Apart from that, my days really were a bit boring until Tessy called me on saturday evening, telling me that she was in town. "you can now come over at Links Hotel" she said with her sweet but authoritative voice. I really was a bit surprised but happy, because i almost had given up that she was honouring her promise that day, after seeing the clock struck 5pm without hearing from her. I felt all my plans had failed, my hopes dashing. I could have called to know her whereabout but decided not to, that resulted into the surprise and happiness i felt when she called me by 6:15pm. I hastily prepared and headed to the hotel, smiling as drove, wondering what prompted her into picking and getting to the hotel herself. "Perhaps she's scared of me, perhaps she's still doubtful of my motive in inviting her over". I grinned, shook my head and laughed out. "oh Tessy, always calculative, but flexible" Approching the beautiful hotel complex, i slowed down, greeted the security and was directed to a nice parking space. Locating Tessy wasn't hard at all. I easily spotted her enjoying a nice meal as soon as i walked into the plush hotel. She smiled on seeing me, while i calmly walked over and gave her a warm peck. My game was all set and ready to execute. What really was my plan?? Hmmm To be continued. Sorry for the late update. Been busy all day.

*continues* "so how was your trip?" i asked politely, my eyes sparkling innocenly. She shrugged and smiled, breathing deeply. "oh wonderful, just so tired" she replied quietly as i sat opposite to her. My heart furiously pounding. __ She refused going out for a little sight seeing with me that evening, stressing that she was too tired to leave the hotel. But deep down i felt she just wasn't too comfortable with me, I felt she was damn too scared of so many things best known to her. However we headed to the hotel room she got for herself an hour later, while my mind kept rehearsing and playing back all i intended doing. I was very determined to carry them all out. We took a hot bath together, before settling down for the first round of super hot sex. "i hope our quarrels are now a thing of the past?. I hope your mind is clean towards me?" she suddenly asked as i tried to grab her right bosom. Stopping me with her words, while i hid my true feelings as her eyes scanned me all over. "we are here together and that's all that matters" i replied slowly, kissing her softly. She breathed deeply as she felt my lips, falling back on the bed to enjoy the night of passion ahead. Grabbing her two rich bosoms, i sucked, fondled and played with them to my satisfaction, before settling down to the great task of ravaging her body with all my strength. All these i did without any iota of feelings. I made love to her with a very cold heart, and i really couldn't tell of enjoying the whole show because of the plans that weighed down my heart. After the third round, we showered again before returning to the bed. I grabbed her sweetly, in order to continue all over again, but she begged me to stop. "gosh what did you take before coming here?. Please i'm tired ooo, i can't take another round again" she said, stopping me from holding her. I smiled and kissed her. "dear i do understand. I know the flight plus other things must have stressed you up. Let's just hold each other and sleep unclad" i suggested harmlessly. "c'mon ain't you feeling the cold?" she asked. I breathed deeply, turned off the a/c before joining her on the bed. "let's try it out. But if the cold persists, we will put on our clothes" i proposed innocently. She shrugged and fell back on the bed without any other word. I smiled, laid beside her with my hands around her. Soon she was fast asleep. After about an hour later, when she was already deeply asleep, i pulled away from her, grabbed my phones and took pictures of her unclad body without any fear. I took a whole lot of pictures, making sure that her privates and face were well exposed. I forwarded all to my mail, before picking up her phones to check if my harmless half clad pictures were in there. Keying in her very popular password *orange* i gained access to the phones without much stress. After minutes of searching, i saw what i was looking for. The pictures were just three in number and the one she sent Adaora was the most provoking of the three. I smiled, deleted and replaced them with three of her unclad pictures. After making sure everything was in place. I woke her up, taking more snapshots as she lazily opened her eyes to reality. To be continued. NEXT>> LOVE& SORROW

Heart attack! Lolz, no be small thin o

*continues* "what are you doing?" she asked with disbelief. Her face colouring with shock as she scrambled to cover her unclad body. "just taking pictures" i answered lightly, smiling as i took more snapshots of her halfclad body. "for God's sake, what has gotten over you? What are you trying to achieve with this nonsense" she asked, jumping out of the bed, as if there was a snake in it. "nothing my dear, i just felt like taking your n.aked pictures which i did. C'mon there is nothing bad in it. Check the ones i transferred to your samsong" i answered with an innocent look. She couldn't believe herself. Supposing she was a guy, she would have sprang on me, fighting to death just to snatch my phone. But unfortunately she was nothing but a lady, and had no choice than to wait for a wrong move from me. Profusely sweating, she grabbed her samsong phone with shaking hands, her lips quivering as she searched for the pictures i sent to her phone. "dear lord it's more terrible than i imagined" She cried. "now tell me, what is it that you want?, what are you trying to do to me?, i thought we are cool with each other?" she asked, trying so hard to control her emotions. I drew close to her, she quickly pushed me away. "what else will i want than to have these lovely pictures in my phone. It excites me alot, c'mon baby lovers share unclad pictures every now and then" i replied with a sweet laugher, as if it was all a mere joke, which further infuriated her. She bit her lips and stamped her right foot angrily on the floor. "i demand you delete all the pictures you have taken" she ordered, while i laughed out loud. "i'm sorry but i can't my love" i murmured with laughter, "you are insane, you are mad" she cursed angrily, "oh yes dear, i'm insanely in love with these pictures" i answered, sending her nerves flying high with my reply. Without another word, she stepped forward and slapped me very hard. Such a terrible Slap it was, that i was stunned for fifty seconds. "i know what you are trying to do, and i dare you to try release those pictures to the public. I will come down hard on you and i won't mind dying over it. I warn you, don't ever try playing with my reputation" she barked seriously, rushed to the toilet, where she spent some minutes before coming out to pack her things. I couldn't say a word for some minutes. I had expected her to beg, or negotiate her way out of the whole mess. I never bargained on recieving such shocking atitude from her. She really was an iron lady to the core. She quietly left the hotel room after packing her bag, saying nothing to me, and thus leaving me all alone even though sunrise was still hours away. I smiled to myself, fell back on the bed and breathed deeply. I really had no plans circulating her pictures, all i wanted to achieve was to make her scared, confused and afraid of me. I knew with what i did she would never dream of having anything to do with me ever again. As i left the hotel, hours later. I got a surprising phone call from Elinor. I answered, wondering the reason she could be calling so early, and equally where Tessy might be. I felt she was still within the vicinity. "val, val, val, you too much ooo, you no dey fear at all ooo. Tessy just told me everything. How do we see, i have a proposal you will like" she asked with a sweet decieving tone. I smiled to myself. Unknown to her, she was next in my list for her double dealings. This time around, i planned serving her a nice hot urine without hiding behind a mask like the previous ocassion. To be continued

*continues* "i really can't wait to see those pictures, how do i get them?" she asked, while i scoffed. Knowing Elinor's dubious character, i knew she had something big already planned out. "i don't understand, please what are you trying to say?" i asked quietly, "oh please stop playing dumb. I want those pictures, how do i get them?, i'm willing to pay" she said seriously, pausing for my reply. "Tessy asked you to make this call?" i asked curiously, trying hard to figure out if she was playing with Tessy or against her. I already knew Elinor as someone who was good at cashing into any opportunity just to make few bucks and i wanted to be sure of the situation i was dealing with, even though I strongly felt she was planning something nasty for either me or for Tessy. "does it matter dear??, let's just cut the deal and that's all that matters" she intelligently replied. "but we need to have a face to face transaction" she added, making me draw back with suspicion. "fine, you can come over to Owerri, if you are really serious about having the pictures" i answered, while she kept quiet for a while, perhaps weighing her chances with me. I had no doubt about succeeding with my plans in dealing with her once she sets foot in the city of Owerri, but i equally knew i need to plan something big ahead, by drawing out a bigger and more ambitious plan or else i could lose out and end up being used. Moreover i knew she won't easily fall into my trap like Tessy if she was to come, and she equally would definetly have her own backup plans incase of any eventuality. "isn't it better you come to Abuja, i can foot the bills" she offered, "i can't" i answered a bit coldly. "fine, i'll be there in five days. Just wait for my call" she said and ended the phone call, while i breathed deeply, smiling to myself. However two hours later, as i was resting in my new apartment. I got another call from her, which kind of surprised me. "i think i have something more important to exchange for the pictures, and it concerns Tessy's health issue which i feel may be of utmost importance to you. Call me dear, it's something big" she announced, abruptly ending the call and leaving me a bit desperate. I felt she wanted to play a nasty trick on me, by trying to turn the table around, yet i found myself dialling her number. My curiousity very high. One thing was definetly for sure. Elinor was very eager to outsmart me, but the question therein is: DID SHE SUCCEED?? "hello Val, you did the right thing by calling, now listen to me" I heard Elinor say as she answered my call. To be continued.

We are waiting tonic oooo

*continues* "i truly believe you will find my information very helpful, but i just can't disclose it here on phone, moreover i just checked my activities for the week and there isn't any space for me to come over in five days. If you can have a change of heart, i promise to pay you handsomely when you get here, plus the health issue i intend revealing to you. Believe me, your life is at risk" she seriously said, while my heart skipped a beat, but on a serious thought, i found myself very doubtful of the genuineness of the information she claimed to bear, moreover Tessy and her children looked quite healthy to me, giving me the feeling that Elinor was simply trying to do what she was good at. Which was playing on my intelligence. "unfortunately, your information gives me no great concern. All that matters to me is the money you are willing the pay, moreover don't think Tessy havn't offered me anything yet for the pictures" i said calmly, while she kept quiet for some seconds. "you mean Tessy offered you money for the pictures?" she asked as if it was something so impossible. "yes, a huge amount precisely" i lied convincingly, which drew her into another deep silence, "and you believe she really will risk offering you such amount you claim, knowing fully well that you still have some copies of the pictures with you?" she intelligently asked. "dear it isn't your cross, so stop sniffing around please" i murmured with a deep breathe, "i pity you Val. You really don't know Tessy. She has friends scattered everywhere who are ready to do her bidding. Owerri is too small a town to hide, but i believe she won't just come after you, but will first destroy what you value the most before coming to you. I'm leaking this information to you because i'm the only one that can help you, forget our past misunderstandings and be wise. Having unclad pictures of a big society lady will bring more harm than good to you. Moreover what do you intend doing with the pictures?" she curiously asked, "what i intend doing, is my business so don't worry" i replied coldly, even though i was a bit frightened and shaken over all she said to me. "okay oo, don't complain when you see Lizards at your door-step when you have ant infested wood in there" she concluded and ended the call while i thought over all she said to me. I felt she was a bit right over some points. I believed Tessy wouldn't just sit, fold her hands and wait for me to play around with her pictures. I had the feeling she was cooking something for me, though i couldn't pinpoint the exact thing she could do, but then i equally refused to rule out the possibility of Elinor setting up a hit for me and making it look as if it was from Tessy, just to get my confidence and have the pictures. I thought i was done with Abuja ladies, but instead i found myself getting more buried in the mud. Things were far from being over. To be continued.

*continues* As the month of december slowly dragged by. I did my nysc monthly clearance and prepared to head home. I was yet to hear from Elinor nor Tessy and it seemed as if all the tension had died down and things were finally getting back to normal for me. But Precisely on the 9th of december 2012, i got a very terrifying phone call from Adaora. She sounded so nervous and frightened that i immediately knew something serious was up. "dear i don't understand, what's really happening?, what sort of strange business did you do?" she cried, confusing me profusely. "i don't understand" i murmured, my heart furiously pounding as my thoughts raced wildly. "some men who claim to be from the state security service were here this morning, demanding to know your whereabout plus the location of your village and residence in Enugu" she explained, while my heart froze. "i really had a hard time, convincing them that i have no knowledge of your village nor residence. They didn't believe me, but left after threatening me. They promised to be back in a short while. I'm all nervous down here, please what's happening?" she asked curiously, leaving me extremely stunned. I never expected such sudden move from Tessy and I equally was clueless on what to say to my girl. She truly was the only weak point i had, and my enemies very well knew they could get me through her. The last thing i wanted was allowing any harm come to my Adaora, but as long as she was in Abuja, she was the perfect target needed to send message across to me, which made my greatest wish to be on finding a way to get her out of the city since christmas was just few weeks away, but how to go about it was another ball game. Just like Elinor told me, Tessy was all out for a serious fight. ______ Later that same evening, i got a call from a strange number. On answering, i froze while my ear enlarged as the caller introduced himself. "good evening Mr Valentine, my name is Mr Tosin from the department of state security. I guess your girlfriend must have told you we checked her up. And i also guess you arn't surprised to be hearing from us. You know your crime don't you?" he asked, while i kept quiet, unable to make out any speech. "so how do we reach you in order to get your own side of the story?. Sending us your address will definetly be a wise gesture" he asked curiously. I swallowed hard, thinking fast as sweat drained my shirt. I had a strong believe that the SSS agent was fake, even though i had no prove whatsoever. "but what if i choose not to give out my address?" i heard myself ask, "then you are in for a whole lot of trouble. First your girlfriend will be detained and quizzed as an accomplice, then your sister and mum. We already have your data with us. It's just a matter of time before you find your sorry a.ss in jail. Call me back whenever you are ready to be reasonable" he said and hung up, leaving me extremely scared and lost. I felt he was fake yet i was scared. WHAT DO I DO?? To be continued.

*continues* I laid awake all night, planning and thinking of my next line of action. I felt insecure and scared of my position. I never imagined Tessy would have the mind to carry out different kinds of assaults on me, just for the sake of mere pictures. It really was true she had a lot to lose if the pictures were to be made public, and it equally was very natural in trying to protect it from happening, but then i had expected her to be more reasonable. I had expected her to reach out to me for a lasting solution. I only had the pictures as a form of leverage against her advances and tricks, but it seemed as if i miscalculated by having the pictures. My reputation was now at sake, my love life highly at risk and my life in great danger. All these thoughts kept me awake all night and the next day i headed to my home town in order to inspect the family property against the upcoming christmas as was the tradition in our family. Stopping at a gas station slightly opposite Capitol hotel, infront of the Military check point at Orji Owerri. I noticed a black honda civic car, pull up within a very close range. I immediately felt uncomfortable on noticing it, but never made it look obvious. Instead i filled my tank and drove homewards, throwing occassional glances at my rear mirror as the car dutifully followed me. There wasn't any doubt in my mind that i was being followed. If not for my restiveness and high state of alertness due to my pressing problems, perhaps i wouldn't have even noticed the car in the first place. On getting to Ata junction {about twenty five miles from Owerri, Imo state capital and about fifteen miles to my destination}. I quickly took a right turn away from the highway and into the hinterland, heading towards Ama-Imo, taking the route with the sole aim of losing the civic car inside one of the numerous villages. But alas i miscalculated by taking such route, because it gave my pursuer the opportunity to increase his speed and gain up on me, which sent my nerves flying high. Still increasing his speed, the driver overtook me, taking a sharp stunt to double-cross me. I was so dead. To be continued. HAPPY WEEKEND

*continues* Unfortunately he miscalulated the power of my driving skills. Hitting the brakes, i wheeled left, slightly avoiding running into his car. Stepping on the accelerator, i fired on while he hotly pursued. This time flashing his head lamps as he gave me a hot chase. My hands furiously shook as i raced on, murmuring quick prayers as my eyes keenly searched around for a new route. I truly wasn't familiar with the road setup, even though i knew the town it led to. My pursuer soon gained on me once again, jumping pot-holes as if he was driving a hummer. The eagerness of his pursuit alarmed me tremendously, and i couldn't help but imagine what was their plan.{I felt the car had more than one occupant, though i was unable to see even the driver. The car had a tinted glass} Finally i saw a way out as i was about giving up hope. My eyes glittered with joy as i quickly made a last minute calculation, throwing a quick glance at the other car which was almost overtaking me once again. Slamming on the brake, i swerved right, narrowly missing the thick bush {surrounding the road} as i avoided a very big pothole capable of turning over a car on high speed, but as i expected, the other car wasn't so lucky as the driver who was so eager to get me failed to see the big pot-hole on time, thus forcing him to slam on his brakes belatedly which then sent his car flying into the bush. Grabbing the opportunity, i reversed and raced to my village. It really was a narrow escape and i never had driven with such nervousness in all my life. It truly was a near death experience which left me with no option than to find a way to make peace with Tessy, even if it meant trampling on my pride. I was no match to her and only a fool confronts a spirit without having adequate protection. "I have gambled alot with my destiny, it's now time to call for a truce" i deeply reasoned. But unfortunately, Tessy refused to listen to my offer when i called her later at night. "you can come over to Abuja let's discuss or forget about any deal. You have shown me your true colour and i'm now ready to show mine" she said to me, creating more fear into my heart. I couldn't imagine my fate if i was to honour her invitation by setting foot in Abuja. I felt she was very set to frustrate and wipe me out of existence. To be continued.

Nah wa o!

hmmmmmm..James Bond!!

Nice one there.

*continues* Surprisingly Tessy called me the next morning as i was having breakfast. I answered her call with expectation. "how was your night?" she asked calmly, "cool" i answered, hiding my feelings. "It gives me no joy that we are after each other's throat, but you are to be blamed for everything happening between us. Last night I was unable to sleep because i couldn't get my mind off you. But don't blame me for my actions. I have every right to do whatever it takes to safeguard my dignity. You killed and betrayed the love, respect and trust i had for you with your obnoxious atitude. Now what i have left is serious hate. It's so strong that i can do anything to you without any atom of compassion. The love i had for you have been replaced by hate and disgust. But i still have the mind to be reasonable, unlike you"She poured out solemnly, getting me more confused and anxious. "it's a pity things ended this way between us. But please let's leave everything till New year. I can't afford travelling to Abuja this December, please" i passionately begged. "you need more time, in order to wrap up the plans you have for me abi?" she asked after few seconds of silence. "no, not at all. Seriously i only took your pictures in order to threaten and stop you from pestering my life and that of my girl. I never planned damaging your reputation with the pictures" i confessed, my heart furiously pounding. "i don't believe you. Anyway i will give you the time you asked for. January it is. Remember nobody plays with me" she said slowly and hung up, relieving my tension with her last statement. I had till January to figure out a way, which could be, laying down arms and surrendering to her. I was tired of fighting. I equally was no match to her. However, by 4:45pm that same evening, i got another unusual call from Adaora. "they are here again oo. The SSS guys are right here and i just don't know what to tell them anymore, since you refused revealing anything to me" she cried, "just give one of them the phone, please dearest" i pleaded, unable to believe my ears, because Tessy already had promised to let me be till January, which left me to wonder whom the sss guys were working for. "are they working for tessy or for Elinor", i wondered, "or is Tessy yet to inform them of our agreement?" I reasoned as Adaora handed over her phone to one of them. To be continued.

*continues* "hey young man stop being foolish. If you want to talk to us, you know the person to call" an agent barked, and ended the call without even giving me the chance to talk. I immediately dialled mr Tosin's phone number without thinking twice. "hello mr Valentine, are you now in Abuja?" he quickly asked as if i promised him i was coming. "no sir but i called for another reason" i replied, trying to explain my motive of calling, but he gave me no chance. Interrupting me, he barked. "you have to be here in Abuja before i listen to you. Your girl is going with us till you show up to bail her" he rasped, sending my nerves flying with his outburst. I quickly tried a new approach. Clearing my throat, i barked. "you guys really don't know whose daughter you are playing with. Just get ready for the consequencies. I have nothing else to say" i shouted defiantly. "have you finished?, call me when you get to town" he said calmly after listening to my outburst, before ending the call. I fell back, totally lost and confused. I couldn't imagine what Adaora was already going through in their hands. I quickly called Tessy, but she refused to answer my calls which then left me cursing as tears fell from my eyes. I felt Tessy had stabbed me once again after cleaning my wounds. An hour later, Adaora called me, her voice sounding like someone in tears. "baby i don't know where i'm ooo. I have been locked up in an isolated compound. Try do something, i have been kidnapped" she cried. "calm down my love, you havn't been kidnapped. If you were, you won't have access to your phone" i reassured her, even though i felt empty inside. "i know what i'm saying, they just gave me an opportunity to call you for the last time. Is this really happening?, what have you done?. I have been kidnapped" she cried, while the 'call ending' beep tone, beeped on my ear. I felt like crying, I felt bad, very bad, moreover i knew the consequencies if the news should get to her mother or mine, which i feared was now inevitable. I had no choice than to prepare myself for another trip to Abuja. A trip i was so scared of undertaking because i feared i might end up not returning with my complete body, if ever i was lucky enough to return. Adaora's last words, "i have been Kidnapped" kept ringing in my head, as i prayed passionately.. But before finally making up my mind for the trip ahead. I made one last phone call. To be continued.

Sorry dear friends, i ran into a little trouble but i'm now back and good to continue.

*continues* "are your guys available?" i asked a very surprised Obinna. "of course they always are" he replied slowly, expecting me to be more open, which i really wasn't ready to, because i truly had nothing figured out yet, even though i was very certain his boys were going to be helpful in days to come. "i will be in town, before 6pm tomorrow. I will call you when i arrive" i concluded and ended the phone call, while my heart continued to pound loudly, shaking my entire body system as if i was under a serious spiritual attack. Supposing i knew of any soothsayer, seriously with my condition i would have searched him out to read my future. I couldn't help but wonder how Adaora's feelings towards me would be. I had brought nothing but pain, anguish and troubles to her. "If by chance our relationships survives after this mess, then nothing will ever break it" i reasoned, shaking my head profusely, as i glanced at my watch, contemplating on whether to take the risky night bus orWait till the next day for my journey. Oh my spirit was extremely restless that fateful day. Precisely by 5:15pm, my phone rang, bringing me back to reality. Taking a look at my phone, i saw that It was Tessy who was calling, which made me to sigh before answering the call. "hi Val i missed your calls earlier in the day. I actually was in a meeting when you called. What's up?" she asked as if she wasn't aware of the latest development, which kind of sent some doubts into my mind. "Is she really trying to play with my intelligence?" i wondered. "your SSS guys took my girl to an unknown location hours ago. I thought you promised to give me time. Didn't you agree to lay low till January?" i asked with all my heart. "SSS what?, Really??" she asked like a confused student, while i managed to explain the whole story to her. "don't worry your girl will be returned. I guess there was a mistake, which i will reactify as soon as possible" She assured me, calming down my spirit with her words. But then the way she sounded made me realise that perhaps she wasn't the only one calling the shots, even though she might be aware of the third party involved in our affair. It really made the whole issue look a bit more complicated. However by 8:30pm that fateful evening, Adaora called to tell me that she was at her house, relaxing my nervous spirit with the great news, but what was to come after was a very heavy blow even though it never came as a surprise to me. "Our relationship is over. Don't ever come near me nor my family ever again. You criminal" she ended up shouting at me. It pained me alot to hear her call me a criminal. It really was so painful that tears fell freely from my eyes. I tried making some explanations but she refused to listen. I couldn't imagine what they must have told her. The next evening, i heard from my mother that Adaora was back in Enugu, with almost all her properties. My actions had made her run from abuja. To be continued.

Thanks alot for your continued support and encouragement, even though i have been very dull {with the updates} lately. The truth is that I really have been very busy with lots of activities which i will post in subsequent episodes. However I promise to sit up. Thanks once again for your support which has truly earned me lots of Promotional, advert and scriptwriting deals. I will start a reward promo very soon to show how deeply i appreciate you guys. LOVE & SORROW will be ending by friday while UNBRIDLED PASSION will take over..... HAPPY SUNDAY....

*continues* Very early the next morning, i headed back to Enugu. My thoughts kept me company as i tried hard to figure out a good explanation to give Adaora. Telling her the whole truth would have been more preferable, but i had no courage for it. I knew i messed up in a whole lot of ways, but fixing my relationship was my top priority, instead of blaming myself over past mistakes. Deep down i feared my relationship with Adaora had finally come to an end. "Sometimes a well wrapped lie is hundred times better than a painful truth". Telling her the whole truth really will be like trying to quench petrol fire with a bucket of water. "Telling her the truth only will add more flame into the fire in her heart". I reasoned unhappily. Mum was so surprised to see me at home so early in the morning, because I arrived at exactly 7:50am. She couldn't keep herself from asking if all was alright, while i managed to wrap my tension with a smile, equally asking of Adaora the same time. "she's at her house" mum answered with a question-like look, forcing me to look away without any explanation. I knew she had lots of questions in her mind, but i was glad she didn't ask any, giving me the opportunity to calm down and head out in search of my love. Getting to Adaora's house, i anxiously waited for her in the sitting room for almost an hour, but she refused to show up, leaving me with no choice than to force my way into her room. She was lying lazily on her bed when i walked in, but immediately she saw me, she sprang up and charged at me. "get out" she screamed, slapping me hard on the right cheek which left me very stunned. "get out" she screamed again, pushing me back roughly while tears fell freely from her eyes. "it's over between us, i will be coming to your house this evening to tell mummy all i just discovered. You are a beast" she cried, hitting my chest as if it was a band. I couldn't find my voice, i was totally disorganised. "what did she discover, what did they do to her, what did they tell her?" i wondered helplessly. I couldn't imagine what she was planning to tell my dear mother, and i felt Whatever it was, It definetly was going to be deadly. I knew my poor mum won't be able to bear it, leaving me with no choice than to find a way to calm down my frightened girl and get her to talk, even though i knew it was almost an impossible task judging by her behaviour. To be continued

*continues* I knelt, i cried, i pleaded desperately for her to calm down. Bringing down my pride to the lowest and placing it at her feet. But it never moved her, instead she trampled upon all i laid at her feet, the way i have been trampling on her feelings. "you are despicable, you are a liar, i can't listen to you anymore. I can't listen to your lies anymore. You don't love me, no you don't" she weeped seriously, smashing my heart with the torrent of words she poured on me. Oh i was desperate, i was extremely lost, i was going slowly insane with her outburst. My heart kept pumping loudly, while i shook nervously. "ADAORA" i whispered her name pleadingly as if was saying the Lord's prayer. "hear me out, i beg of you" i begged with desperation, but it only earned me a super kick at the ribs, which sent me back on my feet immediately. "I should have listened to my head and not my heart. You are way too immature for me". She cried, sending me into another panic attack with her hurtful words. "please just leave me in peace, your presence is simply hurting me more. We will talk at your house. Go now" she seriously commanded, while i backed away pleading with my eyes. I left her house without achieving anything, i feared more terrible drama was lying in wait for me. I couldn't imagine how the day would end, what Adaora was planning and the outcome of everything. I simply was hopeless and lost. As an after-thought, i called Frank and opened up my heart to him. Carefully hiding some terrible facts as i narrated my story. "i can't believe all these happened to you. Mehn you are living a very eventful life" he joked when i finished. Annoying me with his comment. "guy please i'm short of time. I called because i know you are the devil's brother please be serious" i begged with a humourous tone. "yes my boy you are right. But you made some mistakes, anyway here is my advice" he said lightly, clearing his throat for the words ahead, while i eagerly listened. "in terribly situations, you sometimes do nothing and wait for things to settle down. I advice you to sit down, wait and do nothing. What happened, has happened, you can only change direction when the tide is over, else you sink" he advised, leaving me utterly stunned. "what you mean i should do nothing?, she's coming to the house to talk with my mum" i screamed when i found my voice. "yes simply do nothing, or do you plan killing her?" he asked, while i kept quiet. "do nothing my guy, Adaora isn't stupid to wreck your mother's heart, dosen't she know her health status?. My friend Learn to control situations and don't give situations the chance to control you" he concluded and hung up, while I deeply thought over his words which really made small sense. Having no other plan in mind, i carried out Frank's advice and waited nervously. Unfortunately Adaora kept her promise and showed up with her mum hours later. I was extremely overwhelmed seeing them and I couldn't imagine what was to come next. I needed no asking if i looked okay that fateful moment. To be continued.

See gbobe!

*continues* "our girl and her mother are ready for dinner, so kindly get up and join us in the dinning room" mum said to me minutes later, when she came into my room to check up on me. I couldn't say anything to her because i simply wasn't myself. The cold way Adaora answered my greeting when i welcomed she and her mother moments ago flashed back in my mind. The cold look she gave me really unsettled and tore my damaged heart into shreds. I was so nervous as i welcomed them that her mother had to ask if i was fine. "yes ma, i'm fine, it's just stress. I came home just hours ago" i had explained, while Adaora smiled scornfully, saying nothing. I couldn't imagine what was to come during dinner. I feared the time bomb Adaora had with her was set to explode there. But what can i do than to wait?. I quietly got up and moved to the dinning room. Adaora, her mother and my mum were already seated when i got there. Mum's angry stare quickly made me apologize to everyone with my eyes, before quietly sitting beside Adaora's mum. A woman who barely noticed me, not minding how long she has known me. However that was just her character, she was good at carrying herself with an air of superiority, and always behaving as if she was better and richer than everyone. Yes she carried herself so high, as proud as a peacock, though deep down she possessed a good heart. Adaora unfortunately inherited almost all her traits, even though she barely displayed them publicly. Luckily for me, nothing bad happened during dinner and Adaora never uttered a word concerning our affair, but yet i was still uncomfortable because i feared she was purposely holding me at suspence. Adaora's mother however announced during the meal that she was travelling out to be with her husband for Christmas, and as usual will be leaving Adaora to be with us since she has chosen not to travel till the end of her Nysc. I truly was relieved and happy hearing the wonderful news but deep down i still felt uncomfortable, which made me to drive over to see Adaora the next day, praying for her to grant me audience. She did grant me the audience i desperately wanted, and for the first time appeared relaxed and calm, which lightened up my spirit. "now listen to me Val, i have a wonderful proposal to make" she said as soon as i settled down, hiding her feelings with a calm smile. "yesterday i stopped myself from telling your mother everything because of my mother's presence. But now you have to choose between me telling your family all i witnessed and heard, or letting me be for the rest of my life" she said quietly, confusing me with her words. "i don't understand" i murmured with confusion, drawing closer to her. "Val i no longer love you and if you still insist on having me as your girlfriend, pestering my life everyday, i won't have any choice than to tell all i know to your mother, but if you promise never to bother me again, i will keep my lips sealed forever. Nobody will know about your dirty secret" she said seriously, leaving me gasping for breathe. I couldn't believe my ears. I so desperately wanted her to be by my side, yet i also couldn't risk her revealing anything to my mother. I was totally torn and indecisive. "what do i do now?" i wondered as she curiously waited for my answer. To be continued.

*continues* "you have lots of time to think about it. I'm not in a hurry to have your answer" she said quietly, after noticing how difficult her proposal was to me. I breathed deeply and stood up, totally shaken. My face deeply coloured. "alright it's fine by me, i guess i have to go home and think over it" i murmured painfully. "think well dear" she said with a soft smile, while i took my leave without another word. I thought about her proposal all night, but was unable to come up with anything. I couldn't afford losing her, i equally couldn't afford giving her the opportunity to spoil my name before my mother. Deep down, i desperately wanted to know all she learnt when being held captive some days back. Because of my problems with Adaora, i forgot and kept my problems with Tessy aside, not minding that days were slowly speeding by. January was just but few weeks away. I failed to notice that time wasn't on my side. I failed to realise the dangers up ahead were greater than the ones present. Adaora soon moved in to live with us as Christmas drew close. On 23rd december 2012, we all travelled to my hometown to celebrate the yuletide. Nobody really noticed the cold way Adaora treated me. Even when we spent some unavoidable moments together, we only exchanged nothing but few words. She never reminded me of the proposal and i never gave her any answer. We simply behaved politely to each other, even though it pained me alot, finding myself in such condition. Frank came home from Okitipupa town {his PPA} on 24th December, rushing Immediately to my family house as soon as he got home. I was totally happy to see him, and we wasted no time in discussing our problems. I however was the first to pour out my heart and fears. After listening, he shook his head and shrugged. "Let her be my friend. If Adaora is destined for you, then you have nothing to worry about because something will definetly bring you guys together, but if it dosen't happen then know she was never destined for you" he advised, while i swallowed hard. Yes i believed in destiny, i believed that God alone writes our destiny, but due to my current situation, i reasoned differently. I felt that somehow we do possess the ability to shape our destiny and push it to the desired direction. A sharp cry from my phone as it rang, broke the silence surrounding Frank and I. Glancing at the phone, i saw that it was Elinor calling. "happy xmas Val, i will be in Owerri tomorrow morning. How do we see for the pictures??" She asked, rattling me with her impromptu question, while Frank and i exchanged glances. I couldn't believe what i just heard. To be continued.

But u heard well

*continues* "i won't be free, i already have lots of engagements, moreover i think you should forget about the pictures" i answered calmly, she kept quiet for a while. "why are you sounding like this?" she slowly asked, making me smile. "we will talk later please" i murmured and ended the call, giving her no time to say anything else. Frank eyes were all on me. "i think you should be more than careful when dealing with this Elinor Lady. I can't just figure out her motive over the whole affair" he said to me, sounding very serious. I nodded and said nothing. Clearly the last thing on my mind was spoiling my christmas with something i knew would be very difficult to handle alone. I knew God chases away flies for a tailless cow and so i felt that by January a solution would find its way into my problems. Frank left minutes later, while my immediate younger sister came and dragged me to her room. I was very surprised to see Adaora there, and i couldn't help but smile hopefully because i felt that at last our problems were going to be mediated upon by no one else than my younger sister who had a good amount of influence over Adaora. ____ Adaora instantly coloured up as soon as she saw me, while my sister dutifully joined her on the bed. I sat on a chair and faced them, my heart pounding loudly. "i brought you guys here so that we can settle your disagreements. I'm glad you have carried your grievances maturedly without giving mum a reason to learn about it" my sister spoke calmly, but Adaora wasn't pleased with the speech. She quickly shook her head and eyed me. "if this meeting is simply to beg or make me to continue with Val, then i'm sorrow because it isn't going to happen. You can't imagine how many lies he told me, how many threats i got on his behalf, the pictures i saw, and the number of disgusting stories i heard about him. The ones i told you are simply the ones that hurt me the most, seriously i'm still having nightmares over the way i was kidnapped in broad daylight all because of him" She poured out hotly while i looked down in shame. I couldn't believe she told my sister almost everything. I felt i had lost my place before my young sister. I was supposed to be the role model, the pace setter, the father of the family. "How digusting" i breathed shamefully. "bros my ears were filled when Adaora poured out the mystery surrounding her unhappiness. I simply was dumbstruck. Jeez brother, what is happening??, anyway show us Tessy's pictures you took, we want to see them to be sure" she said with a commanding tone, while i drew back with surprise. I couldn't believe they knew about the pictures. "damn how did they know?, didn't Tessy pretend and behave as if she knew nothing about the kidnap?, who fed Adaora all these information?" i wondered as i opened my phone picture gallery, handing over the device to the girls. "their eyes grew dim as they glanced at the pictures, blushing, and murmuring together. I looked away with disgust. To be continued shortly... NEXT>> LOVE & SORROW

Hullo dearest Diary friends. Today we all will be heading over to our Vnovela section, where we will be wrapping up our Vnovela story "LOVE & SORROW".... Do have a wonderful sunday.... www.coolval22.com/Vforum/topic/love-sorrow-betrayal-4/

*continues* Adaora soon shook her head, sighed and left the room without another word, while my sister shrugged before returning my phone. I couldn't even look her on the face. I was extremely ashamed of myself. "seriously bro, i'm very disappointed in you. I just can't believe myself" she rasped, holding her forehead with her palms. I closed my eyes, breathed deeply and poured out the whole story to her. She kept biting her lips as she listened, my heart pounding loudly as i narrated my story. I couldn't believe i was revealing everything to her, but i had no choice than to. I had nothing to lose anymore. "help me talk to Adaora, but please hide some of the things i told you from her. I just want her back, do all you can" i pleaded after my story. She breathed deeply and shrugged. "it's really going to be hard bro, the poor girl is heartbroken and devastated. What do i tell her?, I equally feel like stabbing you a hundred times over" she said seriously, dashing my spirit. ____ We spent christmas day in high spirit. Singing, eating, and visiting close relatives after church service. Surprisingly Adaora was dutifully by my side all through that day, behaving as if all was well between us, making most of my uncles to believe that she definetly was my wife to be. I had lots of opportunities to bring up the issue of our relationship, but i kept sealed lips in order not to spoil her mood. Anyway i was very pleased to find her by my side, it gave me so much hope and happiness. I believed with time her wounds would heal, our love and relationship restored. The next day i drove over to Frank's house to personally wish him and his parents a happy christmas. They were all pleased to see me, but then his mother wasted no time in complaining about Joy {Frank's girlfriend and wife to be}. I couldn't believe my ears on hearing that the first marriage talks between the two families has been done. "i just don't know what he saw in that uneducated girl when there are lots of beautiful educated girls everywhere" she poured out to me, while i stared at Frank who simply looked away without saying anything. I never believed he could carry out such a deed without informing me, moreover we were together days ago. It was very obvious he didn't want me to know about it, which got me thinking deeply. Yes i alreay knew he was very much in love with Joy, but i never believed he was so much in love with her to have taken such a bold step. Deep down i felt something wasn't adding up right. To be continued shortly.... {FRANK'S STORY WILL BE LINKED FROM THIS EPISODE ONWARDS}

*continues* "please brother, don't give me that strange look. I'm sorry for not carrying you along with my plans" frank apologized when we were finally alone in his room. I breathed deeply, saying nothing. I knew he had more explanations to do, which i calmly waited for. "you know how Joy and i started?" he asked seriously, while i nodded. "the fights, the challenges and the problems i faced for her sake, not mentioning the sacrificies i made for her. You remember all, don't you?" he asked. I nodded again, old memories flashing back in my head. {For the sake of our new readers, let's all flash back to how it all started between Joy and Frank} Joy was a beautiful young teenager from a community very close to Frank's Village. She truly was so lovely, and blessed with natural endowments {good hips, breasts, statue, colour and teeth}, but unfortunately she lacked good family background and intelligence. Her parents were very poor and uncaring, yet expanding the family with more Children. Her mum's adulterous character equally was questionable but unproved. Her dad's behaviour very callous and unmanly. All they just wanted from Joy was to get married after her Waec exams or make money for the family by any means. Thus the hatred and disapproval of their daughter's relationship with Frank, because they believed Frank was a nobody who simply stood in their daughter's way, preventing her from carrying out her responsibilies. Frank had to do everything to free her even though he had no money. Their love affair never really started on a smooth path or like a fairy tale. Frank being a player only lusted and wanted nothing but sex from the moment he started showing interest in the girl, but as time went by, after lots of challenges she became his most favourite girl. She automatically planted a rich seed in his heart, which grew into a great flower with romantic fragrance. Frank soon changed and became more romantic with her, to the extent that he went extra miles to accomodate her in his room for almost two years {university final year and spill over}, fighting and almost losing his life when her parents gave her out to a lady who almost succeeded in using her for prostitution {read season 2A}. However it never stopped him from cheating on her once in a while. The story of Joy and Frank is quite an endless tale of passion. To be continued.

Interesting.

*continues* "seriously bro, i think she do possess everything i want in a woman, moreover she has been there for me all these while and i just can't wait to take her off her family's influence before they succeed in destroying her life" Frank continued while i breathed deeply saying nothing. "i will buy Jamb form for her again next year, praying she gets a high mark this time. She won't be going back to Portharcourt where she's working after this christmas. I intend going with her to my PPA" he concluded seriously. I shrugged and wished him luck, he already had everything worked out and even though i had some reservations concerning his plans, i kept sealed lips. I wasn't the person to spoil his happiness. As i headed home minutes later, my phone began ringing. I gasped with shock when i saw that it was Tessy calling. From the day my relationship with her turned sour my heart always froze whenever she called me. I couldn't think of the reason she was calling, since she has agreed to let me be till January. I finally answered her call after my phone rang three times. "happy Xmas Val. How do we see tomorrow?. I'm currently at my hometown. Do we meet at Okigwe, Anara or Owerri?" she asked as if all was well between us. My heart froze over and over as i swallowed hard. I couldn't think out a fast answer. "c'mon don't keep me waiting. I just want to see you and it isn't because of anything you did" she said slowly, sounding very enticing and sweet, but my mind or should i say conscience warned me that it was a trap. "i know you are enjoying at your hometown but don't tell me you can't make out even an hour to see me. Let's meet tomorrow at the family house opposite Capitol hotel {orji} Owerri. Don't fail me" she announced sharply. "alright" i finally breathed, while she laughed in her usual manner as she ended the phone call. "Did i just say alright?? Hmmm" i wondered as i realised the consequences of my answer. But it was already too late to eat my word. I had to think of a plan. I had to think fast. Turning the car, i drove back to Frank's house, in order to seek out advice and beg him to accompany me. I parked my car outside and walked into the quiet house. [Frank's parents left the house when i was with him minutes ago] I was a bit surprised to find his room door locked. Paying no attention to it, i knocked, but it took him time to answer. When he finally opened the door five minutes later, he had with a silly look on his face. I still paid no attention to it, and tried to enter, but quickly stopped when my eyes fell on a young girl who was trying hard to compose herself and appear calm. "frankkkkk eeeeiii!" was all that escaped my lips. I couldn't imagine how he was able to sneak in the girl under such a short time. He quickly dragged me outside and whispered with a smile. "her friend is on the way. You can try your luck" he said, winking at me and making me forget what brought me back to his room. To be continued

*continues* "hmmm nawaoo, i thought you have repented?" i joked when i finally found my voice. He scoffed and shrugged. "My friend whatever you eat in this life is what you take to the grave" he replied seriously while i laughed before telling him about the phone call i recieved moments ago and what i intend doing. He frowned slightly after hearing all i poured out. "You are scared of the devil yet you are always eager to dine with him. No be me and you jor. I can't go with you, the best i can advice, is for you to switch off your phone tomorrow and look for an excuse to give if she calls the day after. You can afford to do that, can't you?" he asked seriously. "of course i can" i replied as i thought over his advice. _____ The next day, i simply did as Frank advised by switching off all my phones. Yet my mind wasn't at rest all through that day. I couldn't imagine the outcome of it all. I deeply regretted ever having anything to do with Tessy. I felt my dealings with her will keep haunting me for the rest of my life. When the second day arrived. I switched on my phones, my lies and excuse ready and well rehearsed for her. But she never did call, which to me seemed like a bad sign. I feared she was heavily disappointed. I couldn't imgaine what the coming year would look like. _____ However we had a very wonderful Christmas, even though it quickly sped by like Lightening.. Adaora enjoyed every moment with us, appearing cool, pleasant and respectful all through. On January 3rd 2013 we returned to Enugu, where everyone once again faced life. My immediate younger sister and Adaora quickly began making preparations to travel back to their PPA, while i equally began making mine. I couldn't help but feel for Adaora, because i knew she was scared of returning to her Abuja Apartment all alone, which really prompted me to bravely walk into her room the next night which was January 4th. The time was 9:30pm when i walked into the dark room. I couldn't imagine the kind of reception that awaited me, yet i quietly sneaked in like a baby rat going after a loaf of bread guided by three angry cats. As soon as i got to her bed, the table lamp which was neatly set opposite the edge of her bed switched on, illuminating the room with its bright light, revealing Adaora's face. Her eyes sparkled brightly as she quickly sat up, facing me. Her jaw drawn and ready for a fight. TO BE CONTINUED.

Ride on, abeg

*continues* "what are you doing here?" she rudely asked, seriously eyeing me. I nervously smiled and sat beside her. "i know you are scared of returning to Abuja?" i calmly asked, holding her right hand. "of course i'm, thanks to you" she replied coldly, while i breathed deeply. "i will come over to Abuja to be with you till everything is settled. I will come the day after tomorrow, i promise" i said quietly, my heart pounding loud. She looked up at me, her eyes curiously searching my face. Nervously i forced out a smile and nodded. Tension slightly shaking my slim body. "do you want me to involve my mother. She can do something about this situation?" she suddenly proposed. "no dear, don't worry. I will fix everything. It's my problem and not yours" i replied, while she shrugged in resignation, blushing as our eyes met once again. Then it suddenly happened. With a calm swift move, i drew close and planted a kiss on her lips. She instantly shivered as she felt it, her temperature rising in the process. Breathing deeply, i kissed her again. This time the kiss was more stronger and precise than the first one, holding her strongly as i delivered it with passion, while she weakly tried to push me away, even though her lips and tongue were glued to mine. We were soon struggling on the bed, kissing, fondling and romancing each other. It was such a wonderful moment. The passion intense and strong, her moans and touch aroused me the more. I never expected such response with her. I instantly wished i could turn back the hands of time and wipe away all my wrong doings. Oh when a woman is in love, she loves for real. She finally gave me access to her honeypot after much struggle. I managed to go one round before she locked up again. "Val what we just did still dosent change anything between us. I allowed you to have your way because i felt like having sex and nothing more" she seriously said to me after the deed. I knew her statement wasn't true, but i nodded as if i believed her, frowning slightly as if it pained me. ___ The next day my sister and Adaora travelled to Abuja while i headed to my PPA. After my clearance which i did the next day, i headed to Abuja. It really was on the 7th of January 2013. A day so deeply stuck in my memory. However, or should i say surprisingly, Tessy nor Elinor never really called up till that moment, but deep down i knew a great battle awaited me. Lord guide me" i prayed. To be continued shortly. As from coming friday, Expect improved updates, will be less busy to update frequently.

*continues* I arrived at Adaora's apartment quiet on time that fateful day. The sun was still up as i made my way into her sitting room. Of course she was very pleased to see me, even though she never made it look obvious. We had a quiet but memorable evening, a super dinner at one of the best resturants in town, where we enjoyed each other's company and discussed our future. It truly wasn't easy persuading her to go out with me that fateful evening, but when she finally accepted, the cute smile she gave me was enough payment for all the troubles. "you know by now we are naturally supposed to be preparing for the first stage of our life together or should i say marriage, but here we are struggling to be friends and scared of our lives" she said quietly to me as we enjoyed the rich meal. I blushed and looked away, feeling very bad. Adaora always had enjoyed talking about our upcoming marriage even though i was yet to propose to her, but lately due to all my misdemeanors she kind of kept her feelings to herself, bravely bearing her sorrows all alone. "so have you informed Tessy that you are in town, what did she say?" she curiously asked. I breathed deeply and picked my phone. "no dear, let me call her right away" i replied, dialling Tessy's phone number, while she kept quiet, her ears wide open. "hullo Val" i soon heard Tessy greet as she answered my phone call. My heart pounded loud as i cleared my throat. "i just came into town, i mean Abuja, how do we see?" i asked calmly, "hmmmm, ok, alright, i will call you tomorrow" she replied like someone deeply surprised, ending the call after her statement and giving me no chance to say anything else. "what did she say?" Adaora curiously asked, i shrugged and told her all Tessy said to me. __ However we got a very big shock the next day when Elinor showed up {at Adaora's house} without notifying any of us, leaving us very confused. The timing of her visit equally was so early, barely a minute past seven in the morning. Yet she walked in as if all was fine, rendering no apology for the disturbance. "please can you fetch me a glass of water" she smiled to Adaora as she lowered herself on a sofa, while i nervously composed myself. I was a bit scared, but i showed it not. To be continued.

*continues* "so can i see the pictures?" Elinor suddenly asked, dropping the glass cup Adaora served her water with. I shifted uncomfortably, breathing heavily. "how did you get to know that i'm in town?" i heard myself ask. She scoffed and rolled her eyes, while Adaora came forward and sat beside me. "news travel fast in this city, moreover i have my ways" she replied with a smile, "so can i now see the pictures?" she anxiously asked again. I gave Adaora a quick look, shrugged and brought out my phone, quietly opening the picture gallery. "here they are" i murmured as i sat up and approached Elinor, who quickly stood up with glittering eyes as i showed her the pictures one after the other. I couldn't help but notice how tensed up she was, breathing heavily like someone planning a difficult hit job. "how do i get them, name your price please, damn" she instantly begged after seeing the last picture. I shook my head and drew back. "i showed you the pictures because i felt like. They are not for sale" i replied seriously. She held her head, drew back and bit her lips. "one million" she screamed out, "i'm offering a million naira" she seriously announced, making me draw back with suspicion. "really!" i exclaimed, wondering what she planned doing with the pictures that made her offer me so much. It's true that she once offered me something for the pictures, but as of then she was yet to see all the pictures. Luckily Adaora's sharp gaze brought me under control. "give me two days to think about your offer" i murmured, while she shrugged. "alright no problem, but remember to stay low and keep away from my friend Tessy. She has an army waiting for you. Don't dare try anything with her" she advised, smiled at Adaora and left without another word. "you are not thinking of selling the pictures to her?" Adaora immediately asked, making me shrug nervously. My phone rang instantly, silencing us. It was Tessy calling. "hi Val, you can meet me at my house, 6pm. Your safety is guaranteed. Don't come late please" she said and hung up, giving me no chance to say anything. Adaora who overheard everything{the phone was on speak out} nodded. "of course you also need an Army to go there and i will help" she suddenly offered. "you remember Maryam? My muslem friend that got married sometime ago?" she asked. I nodded as i faintly remembered her. "her uncle is a colonel serving in a military base here in Abuja. He's a nice man, i can ask him to send me ten soldiers, with them we can go to Tessy's house, you can equally call Obinna to come with his car, which will make us thirteen" she calmly poured out with a smile. I couldn't say anything, i was very surprised and happy. It was as if God knew my plight and finally had pity on me. It's showtime. To be continued.

*continues* 2hours later, Adaora's house "the colonel only promised to send two men. I guess he didn't buy my lie" Adaora said softly as she came into my room, calmly sitting on the bed, her eyes on me. I smiled, sat up and held her, "you have done more than enough for me. Thanks alot dearest" i said with all my heart. She looked away saying nothing. "i do owe you alot, seriously" i breathed with passion, embracing her tightly, my nose on her hair. "i do many things to make you happy but you always end up hurting me" she murmured and tried to stand up, but i held her strongly, preventing her from making any move. "yea i know i don't deserve your help nor love. I know i have wronged you more than a thousand times, but please bear in mind that if i should come back to this world a million times, i still will choose you over and over again. My love you are" i breathed solemnly. She simply kept quiet, saying nothing. My words really had some effects on her. Suddenly she began crying, sobbing so hard that her whole body shook tremendously. I couldn't believe my eyes, i was lost and speechless for a while. "i have suffered so much for you. I have endured alot but what do i always get?, no you don't love me Val" she sobbed. I truly had a hard time trying to make her stop. __ Finally by 5:50pm, precisely ten minutes after Obinna arrived, two soldiers showed up with a blue Hilux truck, and together we all headed to Tessy's house. I never wanted Adaora to go with us, but she insisted on witnessing everything , leaving me with no choice than to oblige her. Minutes later, we arrived at Tessy's premises. I couldn't help but smile as her gateman opened the gate for us, before disappearing with top speed to notify his madam of our presence. To be continued.

*continues* "please you guys should wait for us here {in the car}" Adaora addressed the two soldiers who nodded without any protest. "but why?" i heard myself ask as we walked into Tessy's sitting room with Obinna. "it's wise they remain there, moreover i don't want them to learn the whole truth which may happen if they should enter the house with us" she replied. ___ Tessy was extremely alarmed by the way i barged into her house with my entourage. She really was expecting only me, and so you can't imagine the kind of shock on her face as we walked into her sitting room. Yes she was smiling nervously, but her tensed look and coloured face revealed her feelings to all who cared to notice. "i beg of you Val, what's with the crowd you came with. I was expecting only you" she asked as soon as we settled down, cleverly ignoring Adaora and Obinna. "of course you weren't expecting me to come alone after what happened the last time?" i scoffed, "moreover you are equally not alone" i said as i stared at two strange ladies sitting beside her. "knowing you fully well, i won't be surprised if there are two to ten security operatives at your backyard" i added with a sense of humour. "oh Val, quit insulting me. You talk too much, let's get down to the main issue that brought you here" she said seriously. I shrugged, drew back and crossed my legs. "alright let's start" i said with a smile, but she quickly frowned, throwing quick glances at Adaora and Obinna. "you don't expect us to be talking about such an awful thing in the presence of.... I'm a respectable Lady for crying out loud. Let's go to the second room" She said standing up, making me freeze with suspicion. "i hope you arn't trying to play tricks on me?. You won't like it if you dare" i seriously said, tapping Adaora before standing up. She simply rolled her eyes and said nothing as she went towards the second room. I calmly followed her, my heart furiously beating. ___ "you know i don't understand you Val?. You are such a young promising boy but you enjoy daring me" she said as soon as we got to the room. "and that's the main reason you tried countless times to kill me the previous year huh??" i asked, "anyway i'm here to give you my word and assurance that nothing will happen to your pictures if you let me be. The ones in my phone will be deleted this moment for security reasons, but the ones in my mail will be left there as a leverage. You let me be and i let you enjoy your scandal free life. I'm a young guy and it will do me no good to expose your pictures and endanger my life" i proposed seriously. She breathed deeply and smiled. "dear me, you talk nicely, but what about my five hundred thousand?" she asked lightly, "i know nothing of the money you are asking. Seems like you are wearing a wire?" i asked suspiciously, regretting all i said without restriction. "i think we have a deal. My pictures remains stashed away and i let you enjoy your life. Right?" she murmured as she offered me a handshake, avoiding my question. I shook hands with her even though deep down i was worried and suspicious {because of the way she easily accepted my offer}. As we returned to the main sitting room, Adaora looked up at me with curiousity. "it's over" i said with a smile as we hugged. But deep inside me i felt all was not right. To be continued.

coolval22.com presents, #The Beauty of Love A story of two bestfriends who gradually fell in love with each other as they got more close.

This isn't a soap opera, but something much more. Action, Drama & lots of suspence. THE STORY WAS WRITTEN & SENT BY AISHA800

*continues* "i can't believe you were able to convince my dear friend Tessy to stand down. It's quite impressionable things you do sometimes. I believe you gave her quite a scare with your entourage" Elinor said over the phone, while i scoffed, saying nothing. She called few minutes after we returned from Tessy's house. The timing of her call was near perfect, because i was in my room undressing when the call came through. "i know in your mind, you think all is settled and over, but believe me, my dear friend is still closely watching you. I don't know how but i know for sure she is. I'm still the only one that can protect you" she said softly. I laughed in disbelief. "dear, i'm perfectly fine, please stop worrying about my safety" i said lightly, "i guess you really don't know how it feels knowing that a boy you once had an affair with, has many copies of your unclad pictures. Tessy might be smiling with you but i swear that it ain't over yet""her career, reputation, dignity, business and integrity are all at stake my dear boy. Look very well before you leap" she seriously said, scaring me deeply with her words, which got me thinking over everything again and again. As if Adaora knew what was going on in my mind. She asked me to sit on her bed when i showed up in her room to kiss her good-night. "do you actually think it's over?" she asked, searching my face. I swallowed hard, my heart furiously pounding hard. "after all the threats and noise, i really was surprised that she agreed to your offer within five minutes. I'm still scared because the easiest way of doing away with your enemy is by reconciling publicly with him or her, thus making the person to lose guard before delivering the final blow" she said seriously. Exactly the same thing Elinor was trying to insinuate hours earlier. I forced out a smile, keeping my feelings to myself and carefully holding back from telling her about Elinor's phone call. "do you love me?" she suddenly asked with glittering eyes. It really wasn't her first time of asking me such question, but somehow i felt uncomfortable. "because if you do. All these wouldn't have happened" she added with a whisper. I swallowed hard miserably, i knew what was coming next which was nothing other than tears. I had to do everything to prevent her from crying again. But deep inside me, her question kept ringing in my head. To be continued.

*continues* "I just feel like hitting and breaking your head, but i just can't. I just can't because i still feel a lot for you. No matter how much i try hating you i find my heart melting more and more. I don't know, i don't just know what is wrong with me" Adaora cried passionately. I held her softly, murmuring quick prayers as i searched for the best words to console her. "oh don't touch me, let me be" she cried, struggling to free herself from my grip, but i held her strongly, burying my nose in her hair. "please stop, stop dwelling in the past my dear" i begged, "the past helps in shaping our future, you have to admit that you ain't the right person for me. I'm just living in a big dream, no my dear i can't keep dreaming, i can't keep sleeping, i can't continue living this way" she said amidst sobs. I couldn't say anything else, the only way to stop her outburst was by having se.x with her since she was still very vunerable to me. But i knew it was just but a temporal remedy to her unhappiness, having se.x with me no longer means anything to her. Grabbing her two bosoms, i squeezed them softly, drawing back to stare at her eyes, which quickly lit up, tears still falling heavily. "my love you already know that i'm marrying no other person than you. You are my life, my wife, my future" i moaned, placing my lips on hers. We kissed for a while before she broke away from me. "i know already that you have no choice than to marry me, your family is pushing you to me, isn't it so??" she asked with deep passion. "oh dear me of course not" i breathed, "i don't want to marry your corpse. I don't want a husband who already has children scattered everywhere. I'm scared of my future with you" she continued, moaning as my lips landed on her left bosom. I finally got her down, subjecting her to series of warm se.x. I gave it to her the way she wanted, slow and steady with romantic words and promises. I calmed her down with my calm touch and caresses making her release{cum} with great abandon. Minutes later, we held each other deeply exhausted. A tear dropped from her eyes landing on my nose. I breathed deeply, tears filling my eyes as i recalled all she went through for my sake, our begining, how she fought for me, how she stood by my side and how we ended up on her bed. I had wronged her so terribly, i couldn't imagine how i would feel if my sister should pass through half of what she went through for my sake. I couldn't imagine her brothers reaction if they should learn of our story. I couldn't imagine the kind of love she had for me which has made our relationship last for so long. I couldn't imagine my life without her. I have been a fool all these while, playing with my destiny for no just cause" i deeply reasoned. "val you are crying, why are you crying??" i heard her ask, bringing me back from my thoughts. But before i could answer, my phone rang. Picking it up from the floor, i saw that it was no other person than the twin i asked out the previous year calling. It was as if the devil just prepared another trap for me so so soon. To be continued.

TESTED OK! Ride on abeg.

*continues* Luckily it turned out to be a /flash/. My phone stopped ringing before i could answer it. Two days later, i headed back to my PPA with a happy smile. However Inside the bus, i had enough time and space to think over my life and future once again. I felt my problems with Tessy were finally settled and over, leaving me with the huge task of completely winning back Adaora's wounded heart. "GOD help me" i prayed as i drifted into another dream. Time wasn't on my side, i equally wasn't getting any younger, nor was i still a campus boy. "In few months i will cease being a corper and Nigeria isn't an easy country. Living a life of games and deciet won't get me anywhere" i advised myself, breathing deeply as i counted the days left for me as a corper. "Damn! Adaora, my sister and Frank will all be passing out in a couple of weeks, precisely before second week of february" i realised with shock. "Time definetly waits for no one" i murmured, deeply thinking towards the career i would engage in after passing out. My heart pounded fast as i reasoned towards that direction. I truly would have loved working in a federal institution, but the competition and unavailability of jobs was something that bothered me greatly. "Well i guess i will have to manage Dad's business until i get something much better" i said to myself, even though i knew we survived all through the years mostly with the money he made from politics. His business was just a mere front {used for* ****}. Thinking about politics i smiled. Apga, Apc, Pdp are all but the same, dam.n old men switching parties every now and then, making friends with all the party members and secretly meeting with each other under numerous guise while gullible youths fought for them in Villages. 'Where are the politicians children? Of course they are busy dating each other'. I smiled, shaking my head. "Come 2015 i will make my first appearance in politics" i concluded with a nod. _____ Getting to my PPA, I found out that three new corpers were posted to our school. Two females and a male. One of the female corpers already was occupying my position in the head teacher's office{desk} "Val we got someone to help you out since you hardly stay around. All you have to do now is simply to hang around as a helping teacher" the head teacher seriously said to me. I really didn't know whether to be angry or not, because his words were like a polite insult. However i had no reason to protest and on Friday, few days later, i returned to my apartment in town for the weekend. Surprisingly the twin called once again, this time it wasn't a flash but a real phone call. Little did i know, that my life was about to head towards another dangerous path. To be continued. Try not to miss out on any of our Vnovelas

*continues* "you don forget me abi?, you no longer call. Happy new year" she greeted lively as soon as i answered her call. "i was tired of your shakara nau" i laughed, wondering why she so suddenly sounded very loving and nice to me. "wow sometimes it's just so good to give naughty girls the break they deserve" i reasoned with a smile. "you see, you don't care a dime about me, because if you do, you wouldn't have stopped checking up on me" she accused seriously. I scoffed, thinking hard. "so where are you?" i asked just to change the topic of discussion, "Owerri" she announced, getting more of my attention with her pronouncement. "stop playing nau, be serious" i begged in disbelief, "of course, i'm in Owerri. I came in four days ago. I'm staying with a friend who lives at works layout" she replied seriously. I rubbed my face with my right palm, breathing deeply. "so would you like us to see each other?" i asked out of courtesy, because i knew she called for that reason. Of course i equally was eager to see her, but the feelings i had for her the previous year weren't in me any longer, moreover i gave Adaora my word never to insult her image ever again by misbehaving. "of course we can" she replied calmly, "when and where?" i asked, "oops so you are in town?" she murmured laughing, "well let's meet at a fastfood joint. The one after Imsu juction,. I really can't remember the name but it's the only condusive place i know for now" she added, "alright, i will call you tomorrow" i said calmly, "it's cool, and another thing. I won't be coming alone, my friend will be with me" she added. "no probs" i murmured and ended the call while my conscience tried to reprimand me. "it's just a harmless date and nothing more" i assured myself, swallowing my saliva. ______ We had a long chat the next day at the restaurant, discussing various topics. Her friend equally was very beautiful, lively and social. We totally enjoyed the date. "i really can't believe it's really you" i confessed while she simply blushed and rolled her eyes. "so for how long will you stay in town before returning to your school?" i asked, "i will be staying for quite a while before going back to my boring school. Owerri is very lively and wonderful" she laughed. "i guess you will love to know where i reside?. It's actually a stone throw away from here" i said smiling, she breathed deeply, throwing a glance at her friend who shrugged in approval. Minutes later, i took them to my apartment before taking them home, "i guess we will see tomorrow?" i asked as they alighted from my car. "yea if you can come pick us" she replied sweetly. But when the next afternoon approached, my conscience refused allowing me to call her. I began feeling guilty all of a sudden, until by 2:45pm when she called to know if i was coming. Surprisingly she appeared alone when i finally went to pick her up. I was surprised and speechless. "my friend isn't available today. So it's just me and you" she joked as she got into my car. The once cold and hard to get girl was now free with me as if we had known each other for years. I never for once reasoned that her sweetness was more than normal. I never knew i was bringing in a mole into my life. The devil once again sent me another substitute, and i was way too gullible. But did i betray Adaora once again?? Hmmmmm To be continued.

*continues* "so do you have anywhere in mind you want us to go?" i asked as i drove, "no not exactly" she replied with a smile. I breathed deeply and headed towards my apartment. "i hope you won't mind if i take you to my apartment?" i asked politely, "not at all" she replied with a serious look. On getting to my apartment we enjoyed a local movie together, before she fried some plantains i bought days ago. I never for once gave her a lustful look nor touched her, even though as a guy my mind sometimes wandered towards that direction. I saw no need in making sexual advances to her nor starting what i couldn't finish. All i wanted was her company. Three hours later she got ready to leave. ___ "you know you really look and behave like a nice guy" she murmured as i drove towards her apartment. "so you are trying to say that i'm not a good person huh?" i asked with a smile. She kept quiet, saying nothing. "c'mon say something nau?" i urged, pinching her left hand. "let me be jor, you wouldn't have gotten involved with a married woman if you are decent as you claim. Divorced or not" she said unguardedly, shocking me with her words. I instantly grew serious and silent. "married woman?" i murmured to myself, "of course she's referring to Tessy" i answered quietly, the revelation hitting me like a slap. "what did Tessy tell you?, how much do you know" i asked as i stopped my car at the spot i picked her hours ago. "please don't ask me, thanks for everything" she said with a smile, winked at me before alighting from my car. I bit my lips and drove off. "was her comment made out of resentment or care?" i wondered, "if she knows so much about Tessy and i, how come she's now hanging out with me?" i wondered. It never crossed my mind that perhaps Tessy sent her to finish the dirty work, since i felt i already reached a compromise with her. Moreover the twin never look like a half penny cheap girl who would do such a job. I spent a restless night thinking over everything and the next morning i called her {the twin}, asking if she was free. I was very eager to know all she knew about me. Even though I already knew it wasn't going to be easy making her to open up, i felt i had the experience to penetrate her mind. "you can come pick me up by 11am, i guess you have nothing doing" she said with a very weird tone, but i covered it up with laughter. "i'm still enjoying the new year dear" i laughed and hung up. By 12noon we were together in my apartment. My mind kept playing around as i threw quick glances at her while her attention was on the soap opera that was showing on my Television. "about my dealings with Tessy, do you resent me over it?" i finally asked, unable to find the best words to use in raising up the topic. She simply looked at me before facing the T.v again. "please i don't want to talk about it" she murmured. I drew close and held her hand. "tell me all you know, i'm ready to reciprocate by telling you my side of the story" i offered seriously. "when you were all over me the previous year. I thought finally my life was about getting eventful, but you turned out to be a deceiver, a scoundrel, a cheat. You have no honour" she said coldly without mincing words, standing up and leaving me totally stunned. "so why are you now with me?" i asked without thinking, she scoffed and looked away. "you will never get to know. I'm leaving" she breathed deeply and headed towards the door. I was extremely shocked and speechless. I thought i knew all about women. I felt i had all the tools needed to read every woman, but she proved me very wrong. I couldn't quite grasp what was going on in her small mind. I couldn't figure out anything. What i saw in her eyes was colder than hatred, hotter than resentment, more revealing than spite and stronger than affection. I couldn't say what it is that i saw. I realised that moment that the heart of a woman is more complex than i imagined. "i have to stop her from leaving" i reasoned as i went after her. To be continued.

*continues* "where do you think you are going?, please stop" i begged as i went after her. She stopped and faced me, her right hand on the door knob. "why are you behaving like a child all of a sudden? We are having a matured conversation, aren't we?" i asked as i dragged her back to her seat. She hesitated for a moment before obliging. "i truly don't know what led to the insultive words you used on me nor what led to the behaviour you just displayed. I have been nothing but cool with you, i have never made a wrong statement nor move towards you. Why then do you judge me with mere hearsay?" i asked calmly but seriously. "mere hearsay do you say?, you say all these words because you weren't there to see the misery in Tessy's eyes, the agony in her soul and how terribly she suffered for your sake. She was so devastated that she almost neglected her children thanks to you and to think that i warned you earlier really is so annoying" She said bitterly. Hot powerful words they were, my soul burned as i heard them. "you were in a relationship with another girl, yet you deemed it fit to carry on with her. You knew getting involved with an older lady was something you couldn't do very well yet you went ahead and deceived her. All for what huh?, why shouldn't i believe that you stole five hundred thousand Naira from her?" she continued seriously. I swallowed hard, my face colouring deeply as her words hit me one after the other like super blows. "my God, she knows quite a lot" i murmured to myself, speechlessly staring at her. "you now think you have settled with her. Tell me what sort of compensation is enough for a heart broken woman?. Don't you know that when a woman loves, she loves with everything. Unfortunately my dear big sister{Tessy} stupidly fell in love with you. I still don't get what made a big girl like her fall so cheaply" she continued, eyes dark and red, lips quivering, face coloured, she poured It all out as if she was Tessy or should i say her spokes-person. "you think you are quiet, calculative and smart, you think you have settled everything with her, a woman you so much wronged, but that's where you got it all wrong. My dear sis. never forgets and she's always two steps ahead of you" she concluded, stood up and breathed deeply. "you don't know how long i have waited to pour out my mind to you" she added with a sad smile. "so tell me, why are you here since you bear all these grudges towards me. To tell me all you just said huh?" i asked with disbelief. She scoffed and rolled her eyes. "you will never get to know Val. Just know that i have served my purpose, i promised her that i will help bring you down and i have done the first part of my mission. Revenge is a calculated piece of action, it dosen't necessarily need to be violent. Its effectiveness is what matters the most, think about it" she said, tears swelling her eyes once again. I stared at her, totally confused. "She did nothing to me, i noticed no change within me, yet she claimed to my face that the first part of her mission has been completed, moreover what did she do, or could she do to me" i wondered hopelessly. All i could figure out was that she was yet to disclose her real mission. which i knew she never would no matter how daring she was. 'Never have i encountered such trickery nor magic'. To be continued. May the souls of our fellow struggling Nigerians that died yesterday in the bomb blast, have eternal rest... AMEN

*continues* I drew close and hugged her, surprising her with my impromptu action. "you are a very brave girl. Open, frank and honest. I so much love being with girls with such character. I know you will be surprised to hear this, but i'm so grateful for opening up to me. Thanks sweetie" i said sweetly, tuning her ego. She kept quiet saying nothing, breathing deeply as i hugged her softly. I had great urge to do more than just pouring sweet words to her. I felt like romancing and caressing her. I felt like taming her to submission. I felt like making her reveal all she knew with my touch. But i just couldn't. "one more thing sweetie" i whispered into her ear, "what again?" she murmured restlessly. "i need your help" i begged with a soft whisper, brushing my lips on her ear. She shivered and tried to pull away from me but i held her strongly but passionately. "what help can i actually render?. I have done more than enough by running my mouth. Do you know what could happen to me if she learns of it?" she asked regretably. I broke away from her and looked into her eyes, holding her shoulders with a soft caress. "i know, but it's our secret. She never will know about this. Just help by advising me. What do you think i should do?. I mean concerning Tessy?" i asked seriously. She swallowed and looked away. "i don't just know because everything is too complicated. I'm not sis. Tessy you know?" she breathed, while i bit my lips, "do you know what she's planning for me? Please tell me, i beg of you" i pleaded, hugging her one more time. "i know there is something else you are not telling me. Yes i admit i made mistakes, but everything changed from the moment you talked some sense into me in front of her shop. Do you remember?" i lied fluently. She broke away from me and stared at me with disbelief. "what do you mean?" she asked searchingly, "everything changed because for the first time, i saw something i havn't seen in other women in you. I instantly longed for you, but was confused because of my girlfriend and Tessy. I had to end everything with Tessy because i believed in you. As for my girlfriend i'm still with her because i just can't hurt her. She's also a wonderful person" i poured out like an honest person. She drew back with confusion, not knowing what to believe. "you can't believe what having you here is doing to me. You can't imagine what having you as a friend is to me. You know i unsuccessfully tried getting close to you the previous year?" i continued, slowly penetrating her mind like a virus. "tell me, will you let your friend drown?" i asked, drawing close to her again. "enough please, enough" she cried, blocking her ears with her palms. "sis. Tessy already knows this place because i told her. She also has your mum's phone numbers because i sent them to her when you thought i was transferring files to my phone as you were busy eating the plantain i fried. She has the numbers you saved with mum1 and mum2" she opened up, shocking me with the revelation. "but you should be more concerned about your girlfriend. I think she's going to make her cheat on you, if she hasn't done that already. Not only that, i know for sure that she has bigger plans for her" she concluded slowly. To be continued.

Omo See Gobe

*continues* "jeez" i exclaimed with deep shock. I couldn't believe my ears. Things were deeper than i expected. "i have to start going" she said calmly, fetching a make up kit from her hand-bag. "but what do you i advice i do?" i asked desperately, "i already told you i don't know" she replied as she beautified herself. I thought deeply, scratching my head. "what could Tessy possibly need mum's phone numbers for?" i wondered deeply. "seriously i'm set to go" she [the twin] announced, breaking me away from my thoughts. I hugged her softly. "i owe you alot for this. Thanks again for telling me the truth" i said sweetly. "i will help by sticking out my ears for you. Once i learn of any new plan from sis. Tessy, i'll notify you. I promise" she said softly. I heaved a sigh of relief, before breaking away from her. "thanks dear" i murmured, revealing the sweetest smile ever, which i gave out to her with all my heart. ____ "but how could she possibly make my girl cheat on me. Adaora is no fool, and she knows your Tessy very well" i asked my pretty friend as i drove her back to her apartment. "that's where you got it all wrong. Do you actually believe she's going to reveal herself to your girl??. All she's going to do is just to give some of her wolf-like bachelor and married friends your girls contact, then sit and watch her plans grow" she said intelligently, shocking me with her words. "hmmm and i think you should act fast, because it's quite tempting when two to three rich handsome guys are going after a girl at the same time. I don't know how much you trust your girl, but i think checking up on her won't do any bad. And i mean physical check up, you can't just call her up on phone and ask if she's cheating" she added with slight humour. I quickly concealed my fears with laughter. "the more you speak, the more i get entrapped in your beauty and wisdom"I said sweetly. She rolled her eyes and looked the other way. "you are also a sweet and wonderful guy. You know, getting close to a person makes you see all the hidden qualities. How i just wish you are single" she joked seriously. "i will be returning to my school in a couple of days, but i guess we will see before then" she added before alighting. ____ As i drove back to my apartment, i thought over all she revealed to me. I was in serious danger without realising it. "I just can't believe Tessy fooled me once again, making me believe that our quarrels were settled" damn" i cursed as i thought of Adaora. I had no choice than to rush over to the capital city at the earliest possible moment and check up on her. Just like the twin said, i couldn't just call my lovely girl on phone and ask her if she is cheating on me. I reasoned deeply. "but what if all the twin told me were all but lies. How am i sure it isn't one of Tessy's strategies to break me. Can you vouch for the girl?" another part of me asked, leaving me utterly confused. To be continued.

*continues* I travelled to Abuja three days later to check on Adaora who was extremely surprised to see me. To set her mind at rest i had to tell her everything the twin told me about Tessy, which was a grave mistake. Even though i cleverly hid some details from her, especially on the extent i went to get the information. But she wasn't pleased with me. She felt i came over because i believed she could cheat on me. "and you simply rushed over because you believed all she told you. You believed i could cheat on you, the way you have been doing to me" she said angrily. "you know what?, if i set my mind on something i always do it. If i feel like cheating on you, your presence won't change a thing because i'll do it to your face and there is nothing you will do" she shouted before leaving for her room, instantly putting me in a defensive position. I regretted telling her anything and I had to follow her to the room in order to apologize, but she refused listening to me. "it pains me a great deal that you don't trust me. I have seen and been with different types of guys. The rich, the bad, the ugly and so on. There is nothing i havn't seen nor heard. I never cheated as a student, how then do you believe that i can cheat as an adult huh?" she angrily asked. "i only came to warn you of Tessy's plans, i never accused you of cheating my dear" i tried to defend myself. "enough please, i'm no fool. You should have called if that was the case. Here are my phones, check them for anything" she continued angrily, tossing her phones at me. I was speechless and uncomfortable. However I finally calmed her down after much pleading, spent two days with her before heading back to my PPA with a relaxed mind. But i was soon to forget all about my fears because Chinwe surprised me with a visit a day later. I was very glad to see her. It really has been a while we last saw each other and she still was as beautiful as ever, her smiles charming and captivating. "i'm now preparing for my Nysc. I'm done with my clearance, i just can't wait for March to arrive" she announced happily as she settled down on my bed. I was so much filled with Joy and happiness. "you see, you are now a big girl. God knows how to chase away flies for a tailess cow" i joked. She laughed and rolled her eyes. "yes hardship is a good teacher. It opens our eyes to the realities on ground. It makes us wise and calculative" she said, looking into my eyes. "I missed you" i confessed softly, remembering our past, "me too" she blushed and breathed deeply, her jaw slightly drawn as if she just remembered something hurtful. "Can our love ever die?" i asked myself as i stared at her beautiful face. I quickly remembered Adaora and looked away. To be continued.

*continues* "I will be leaving tomorrow" she calmly said to me later in the day. I tried to look into her eyes but she looked away, avoiding my gaze. "why tomorrow?, you can stay till the weekend, i'm not pursuing you or am i?" i asked politely. She shrugged and said nothing. I knew she wanted to spend some days with me but was uncomfortable due to her feelings. I equally felt the same way, but couldn't help but be nice and accomodative, moreover she was someone very close to my heart. However nothing happened between us on the first night, she only narrated all that was troubling her to me. Family issues, financial problems, her fears and so on. I listened attentively. The poor girl really had alot bugging her mind. "seriously i wish i have the power to kill my uncles, all of them would have been dead by now. They are so heartless and obnoxious" she ended up crying, while i hugged her with deep emotions. The next day, i took her to the school i was serving before taking her round the village. We had a wonderful time laughing and gisting. Some of the things we did together as students years ago equally were not left out as she kept bringing up some of the funny ones. "so how about Adaora?" she asked as we were having dinner later in the evening, "she's fine, she will be rounding up her Nysc by february" i announced with a smile. "good for her" she smiled, while i cleverly changed the topic, "so till now you are yet to find the perfect guy?" i asked smiling. She breathed deeply and shook her head, "yea, now i know why some beautiful girls end up not marrying. It's not as if they don't meet guys or something" she murmured sadly. I swallowed hard and said nothing. "it's been long i last felt what Love is all about" she concluded. 10:05pm{my room} "why are you not sleeping?" i asked, coming a little close to her{ on the bed}, "nothing" she replied softly, "what do you feel for me?" i heard myself ask. "i don't know, but i still feel betrayed. Please let's not go there, at least you still help me financially" she murmured with a sad tone as if she meant to mock me with her words. I instantly felt uncomfortable, scratched my head and backed her. "i'm sorry, i never meant to hurt you with my words" she quickly apologized, touching my back, "you shouldn't mind some things we girls say. I wasn't being serious" she explained, softly pinching me. I quickly turned, stared into her eyes and drew forward. Our lips quickly glued together in a hot romantic kiss. "are you trying to take advantage of me once again?" she suddenly asked as she broke away from me, searching my face with her not too innocent eyes. I was shocked. To be continued. Next> The beauty of Love.

*continues* "i'm very sorry, i just got carried away" i quickly apologized. A bit ashamed of myself. "i'm sorry also" she breathed deeply, placing her right palm on my chin, "i still love you" she suddenly confessed, staring into my eyes. I was totally lost on what to say. "yes i still do love you believe me. It's hard for me to speak out my mind, but i guess you already know. It hasn't been easy for me since we broke up. I hope i'm not being too plain?" she murmured, dropping her eyes. My heart kept pounding very fast. I just was extremely lost, confused and sorry for her. Yea i equally still felt something for her, only the memory of what we shared in the past was enough to lit us on fire. I so much craved for her body, i badly wanted to taste her succulent bosoms. I so much wanted to kiss, caress and have her. My passion and desire were so strong and aflame. Oh and my hormones were like a time bomb waiting to explode. "i guess i have dismayed you with my behaviour?" she suddenly asked. I bit my lips, struggling very hard to say something. "let's do it" she added softly, giving me an unresistable inviting look. I swallowed hard with disbelief, my joystick quickly rising in acceptance. "no no my dear. Love making should only be for couples in love and sincere with each other. I haven't been honest with you and i hate taking advantage of anyone most especially you. I'm sorry" i quickly apologized, breathing fast. "i'm serious, let's get down to it. You need me, i need you. Nobody is taking advantage of anyone" she said with a tempting smile, pulling off her night wear. I closed my eyes unable to resist the urge, unable to reject her offer and unable to fathom what was actually going through her mind. Bringing her head forward, she pulled me down, "val don't you want it anymore?" she asked, her eyes sparkling, her face colouring with deep passion. I so badly wanted to rip her apart, but i just couldn't tell if she was offering her body to me with good faith. I kept staring at her unable to decide, which really angered her. "i see" she murmured, pulled away from me and sat up. I knelt by her side, trying to hold her. But she quickly pushed away my hand and backed me. I stared at her unclad body. It was quite tempting and beautiful. My joystick equally was getting impatient and angry, threatening to rip out of my knicker. "chinwe" i called quietly, "chinwe please" i murmured, dragging her to my side. She didn't resist, but faced me obediently, tears blinding her eyes. I just didn't know what was wrong with her. Slowly my left hand went for her bosoms, while she watched me silently. As i felt her bosoms, my hormones surged, my head exploded with passion, my knicker flung away. *** Sliding down the length of my thighs, she took the smooth head of my erection into her mouth and moved her tongue languidly across its tip. I moaned deeply. I really had forgotten how pleasurable Chinwe was. It was now only but a matter of minutes........ To be continued.

*continues* "I feel so guilty" Chinwe murmured as we cleaned up, sighing unhappily. I couldn't say anything to her because i equally felt the same way. "i don't know what pushed me into doing this with you" she continued, while i stood up without uttering a word. I knew she expected me to say sweet words to her, make promises and all those post-sex romantic stuffs, but i just couldn't. I really was in a more terrible condition than her. --- We really had a very wonderful sex. The type i haven't had for so long. It was hot, breathtaking and superb. Every second counted as i dug into her body, devouring every inch of it. Her moans and kisses brought out the best in me as it supplied the much needed passion and energy. It truly was worth the risk, but after the affair we were instantly filled with regret. "is there a chance we will ever get back together?" she suddenly asked, surprising me with the question. Her eyes staring hopefully at me. My guilt increased. I felt like lying but just couldn't. Adaora's image instantly appeared in my head, sickening me. I felt bitter and remorseful. I just didn't know what to say to her. I instantly remembered my old {born again} girlfriend Agatha who once told me that premarital sex always comes with a price. You must pay for it one way or the other, even the ones that appear to be for free are not always without a price" "what's up with you?, you are yet to answer my question nor dress up" she suddenly asked, shaking away my thoughts. I smiled and squatted by her side. "i just don't know my dear. I can't answer what i'm not sure of" i said calmly. Her eyes quickly dropped, she bit her lips and smiled coldly. "it's alright, i'll be leaving tomorrow" she announced quietly. I was unable say anything to counter her decision. My conscience kept flogging me but i had no choice than to endure the pain. Early the next morning, she packed her things and dressed up. I never uttered a word to stop her even though i felt she expected me to do so. We never spoke on phone nor met for the rest of that month, which was really my fault because i failed to check up on her after she unceremoniously left. However on the first week of february i sent money across to her, because i felt she needed it in preparation for her Nysc camping which was a month away. My sister, Frank and Adaora equally passed out {ended their Nysc program} that same month, leaving me behind. I planned returning home to see my queen{Adaora} but another shocking development occured few days later delaying my plans. Tessy surprised me with a phone call after weeks of silence. "i'll be coming over to Owerri on friday which is a day after tomorrow for a project. I hope you can pick me up at Imo Airport by 4pm?" she casually asked as if we were still lovers, striking me dumb with the unexpected question. To be continued. THE BEAUTY OF LOVE BY AISHA

*continues* "i'm not in town, you could have informed me earlier" i finally answered. "so how do i get into town?" she asked like a novice, making me smile with surprise, "you can get an Airport taxi or inform one of your friends nah" i replied. "it's really business. I'll be spending some days before returning to Abuja, endeavour to see me unless you are still bearing grudges towards me" she added and waited for my reply. "i will see you on saturday morning" i murmured and hung up. I fetched Frank early saturday morning, and together we headed to see Tessy. My mind really wasn't at rest as i drove towards the address she gave me. I kept thinking of her reason for seeking me. It equally wasn't easy locating the address because the place ended up to be at the outskirts of New Owerri. At first i was scared and confused but when we got there, i relaxed on seeing a building project which was going on. "you never told me about this?" i asked Tessy with a smile as she surprised me with a hug. She truly was looking lovely in jean shorts and T. Shirt. "because you never cared to ask" she replied and faced Frank who caught her attention. I quickly did a brief introduction, Frank as usual behaved like a gentle man while Tessy showed much more interest in him. She asked him lots of questions which at a point made me really uncomfortable. "i like your friend, i think i can help him get a job" she smiled to me as they exchanged phone numbers. I was speechless, but sealed my discomfort with a smile. "so why did you choose to build in owerri of all towns?" i finally asked when she was done with Frank. "is there anything bad in it?" she asked with a calm smile. I shrugged, saying nothing. She however prevented us from leaving on time and my hands were tied because Frank accepted to stay when she begged us not to leave. We finally left the site later in the afternoon precisely by 2:45pm, after promising to show up late in the evening at the hotel she was lodging.. I really couldn't figure out the type of game she was trying to play with Frank but whatever it was i wished them Luck. But thinking of it, i had to shake some silly thoughts out of my mind, even though i knew Frank wasn't a very honest guy, which made me somehow regret taking him to meet Tessy. As per having sexual relations with him, i had some doubts. I felt Tessy had more ambitious plan than that. What could it be?? To be continued.

*continues* I was unable to honour the appointment we had with Tessy {that same evening} because i wasn't feeling very fine. I equally wasn't comfortable about it, but my Friend Frank was very eager to honour it. "i hope there isn't any problem if i go alone?" he asked, after trying his best to persuade me to go with him. "no, not at all. But remember all the advice you have offered me concerning that woman. Don't let yourself fall into the same pit i fell and please don't reveal any thing concerning me to her" i pleaded. He laughed, tapped my shoulder and stood up. "i'm not a kid bro. You can trust me on that. Moreover you know i'm doing this solely because i need her help. Who knows if God will help me through her" he explained innocently. I smiled and nodded. Yea he had a good reason for honouring the invitation, but i equally knew him very well. He was the friend who could sell me for pieces of silver. I never really wanted him to visit Tessy all alone, but had to hide my feelings with a decieving smile. "only if Tessy could focus on him and forget all about me" i prayed. ____ 10:45pm I was about dozing off when i heard my door bell ring. I lazily opened the door for Frank who smiled at me. His breath reeked of alcohol, a good sign that he was well entertained. "mehn that Chick hot oooo. You know i thought she was alone, but when i got to her table i saw two other hot cuties" he laughed as he settled on the floor. I curiously listened, very eager to know what transpired between them. "so you had no difficulty in locating her?" i asked calmly, "i have been to All Seasons Hotel a hundred times over, so it wasn't a big deal nau" he answered, pulling off his shirt. "she wasn't happy that you failed to come. According to her, 'you are good at messing things up. She did many things for you, but you paid her back with evil" he said with a quiet smile. "what else did she say about me?" i asked, "nothing again, she just introduced me to her two friends even though we met one of them at the site earlier today. Before ordering drinks for me" he replied as he brought out some naira notes from his pocket, which he counted in my presence. "you see? Nine thousand naira just like that. Chei!" he exclaimed. "i never knew the money she gave me as i was leaving was up to this" he almost screamed out, while i scoffed. "she's returning to Abuja tomorrow. She promised getting in touch with me before wednesday, what do you think?" he suddenly asked. "well i think she wants to switch over her feelings to you. It's now your game bro." i smiled, while he shrugged. "i hope so, but i doubt. I know when a woman is interested in me, but what i saw this evening was something far from that. She likes me yes. Interested in me? No brother, absolutely no" he murmured. "so what do you think since you are the expert?"I asked. He breathed deeply and shrugged, "maybe she only wants to help or use me. I don't just know, but i need money brother. I have a long way to go with life" he said seriously. His eyes red and strange. To be continued.

*continues* Frank travelled home the next day, while i stayed behind in my apartment. I never bothered calling Tessy nor checked if she eventually left town or not. However, very early on Tuesday morning. She surprised me with a phone call. "you are really cold hearted you know. Why are you trying to avoid me?, when you know deep down that i have come to stay in your life. I'm going nowhere do you hear" she said quietly, shocking me with her words. I really didn't know how to react or what to feel that moment, after being addressed by her in such manner. I equally couldn't understand what she saw in me, that made her put so much interest. It isn't as if i was overly attractive, heavily built nor very wealthy. I really couldn't figure out a whole lot of things. Sometimes i equally found it hard to believe that i wasn't dreaming, because it all looked like one giant dream or should i say LIE. ____ "you never cared calling or something. Nawa for you" she continued like a teenage girl. "i guess i will have to add more conditions like calling and texting me into our deal" she added provocatively. "i'm sorry, you know the way things are between us. I just can't do alot of things for our own good which you know" i apologized, "i don't know a thing" she hastily replied, "anyway that's not really the reason i called" she said and kept quiet, drawing out my curiousity. "i think i have something good for your friend. Something he can be managing until he gets a better job" she informed me. I breathed deeply, a deep smile appeared on my face. "but you will have to come over with him, and the reason is because i don't know nor trust him. You are the person i know, and you are going to stand in for him. So it's all in your hands, i'll help you inform him" she said calmly, leaving me speechless as my smile quickly died away. "please what sort of Job is it?, and why are you making such demands out of me?" i managed to ask, my heart furiously pounding. "i'm making no demands my dear. I'm just trying to help your friend through you. As for the job description, don't bother about it until you guys show up" she replied carefully, leaving me stunned and confused. "hey my children are here, would you like to speak with them? They are missing you ooo" she suddenly asked, while i laughed nervously. "there's no need speaking with them. i'll be coming over before friday. I have to go, my mum is calling on my second line" i lied and hung up. Breathing deeply as i grabbed my pillow. Exactly five minutes later, Frank called me. "guy what's up?, when are we going to Abuja? I can't believe God answered my prayers so quickly" he said excitedly. My heart instantly froze. I really didn't know what to tell him because my dear friend was really too blind and happy to see my dilemna. To be continued.

Issue!

*continues* "so guy when are we really going?" he asked again. His voice filled with excitement and hope. "i don't know brother, i don't know if i can be able to take you to her" i answered quietly, as if i was very scared to speak out. Breathing fast and nervously as i waited for him to say something, but he kept quiet for some seconds as if he was suddenly struck dumb. "what do you mean?, i don't understand" he asked with a raised tone. "you know my position with that lady, you also know my relationship and future is at risk. Just understand" i pleaded weakly. "i can't understand a thing. What do you want me to understand huh?, you are saying that you can't help me get this job?, after all we have been through together. C'mon be a man. What has your relationship got to do with you helping me out this once?" You know i didn't save much during my Nysc. Nawa for you ooo" he ranted. Each word he said was muttered with anger, shock and disappointment. I felt bad, i just couldn't do that to him. He was my friend and friends watch each others back. "you must take me to her ooo. I will carry you on my head if need be" he concluded sharply. "alright by sunday, i'll get back to you" i promised reluctantly, "no sir, by sunday we will be resting at her house" he concluded for me and hung up. I breathed deeply, extremely confused. Tessy had managed to put me in a tight corner once again. I knew deep down that i would end up taking Frank to her, something i tried not to imagine. On thursday afternoon, Frank's mother called to know if it was actually true that her son got a job offer through me. She ended up thanking and praying for me, while i recieved her blessings with mixed feelings. Finally, on saturday morning, Frank showed up at my apartment with a small travelling bag. "i hope you are set and ready because i'm not taking 'no' for an answer" he nervously asked with a smile. By 9am the next day, we were already at Onitsha en route to Abuja. To be continued.

*continues* By 4:38pm we were in a taxi, heading towards Obinna's apartment. We could have headed straight to Tessy's house just like Frank wanted, but i advised him against it as i brought up the idea of first settling at Obinna's apartment, even though i never told Obinna prior to that moment that i was coming nor coming with a friend. And so i had to quickly make up a lie which i told him over the phone. Luckily he bought my lie, and asked us to come over, which really was a big relief to me because i couldn't imagine the scandal if we were to spend the night in Tessy's house. "Have you considered where you are going to live and how you are going to manage when you get the Job?" i asked Frank as we headed to Obinna's house. He smiled, looked out of the car window{taxi} for a while before facing me. "are you trying to scare me or what?" he asked searchingly. I laughed, shrugged and shook my head. "of course not brother, we are already in Abuja aren't we?. It just that the question crossed my mind when the bus stopped at the station" i lied carefully. He shook his head and said nothing. __ Instead of calling me, Tessy called Frank later in the evening, asking of our whereabout. I had to take the phone from him and tell her that we will be coming over to her office the next day. She wasn't pleased about it, and displayed her anger by rudely hanging up. "i hope your actions aren't going to cost me this job?" you know i need it for many things. One it can provide me with the experience and opportunity i need to search for a federal job" Frank cried anxiously, while i smiled and calmed him down. Obinna as usual was a wonderful friend and host. He took us out for a little sight seeing, and spoiled us with drinks. He equally sampled three sweet damsels for us at the joint, but i wasn't interested, due to my new found principles and problems bugging my mind. We returned to the apartment very late in the evening with only one of the girls who had a wonderful time with Frank, but Obinna really surprised me by leaving the third girl Meant for him behind. Seriously Abuja is an enjoyable paradise if you are with money. The girls, clubs, cars, city, everything there is just superb and available for a fee. As Frank went in to wrap up the show with his girl {at the second room}, Obinna and i settled down for a brief conversation in his sitting room. "I can't believe you and that lady is still in speaking terms. Don't let her drag you to a court wedding one of these days, that's the reigning thing in town. She's very manipulative and i bet she's heading towards that direction" he advised after listening to my story. I laughed heartily even though his words cut a hole in my heart. By 10am the next day, Frank and i were seated at Tessy's office, but surprisingly she wasn't too happy to see us. To be continued.

*continues* "what do i do to you? This silly boy" Tessy said to me with an angry smile as she walked into her office, after keeping us waiting for twenty five minutes. "you are no longer the person i used to know. I thought we have reconciled?. Do you know that i can walk you guys out right now?" she threatened as she sat on her chair, while we kept quiet. "please can you leave us alone" she suddenly said to a surprised Frank, who quickly stood up nervously. He really wasn't sure of what he heard and so stared at both of us in confusion. She flashed him a smile and nodded, "just give us five minutes please" she said polietly. "you can look around the shop while Val and i discuss a little business" she concluded. Frank had no choice than to grant her request. "what's up with you? Are we still quarelling or what?" she asked when we were alone. I shrugged and said nothing. "seriously i'm far from understanding you. Your behaviour irritates me, and you know how cruel i can be when irritated" She said seriously. "i'm sorry for irritating you. I just have to keep my distance and you know why" i apologized weakly, "i don't know why, but you have to know that some things can't be erased, just like your memory. Do you know how many times i have tried to shut you out of my heart? You fu.cked me Val, you fuc.ked your way into my heart, you had series of sex sessions with me and you think it's nothing huh? I can't get over my feelings so you have to do something about it" she said with fire in her eyes, feeling no shame over her outburst. "Many guys will kill to have me, but here i'm always disgracing myself. Perhaps because you are the last guy to ever penetrate my body, or maybe because you are gentle in spirit. If it means nothing to you, it means a great deal to me. I'm done loving but i feel terrible without you" she poured out solemnly. "what can i say?. I just don't know, c'mon look at yourself. You are not more than thirty years old. You will die early if you continue like this" i said standing up and trying hard to appear brave, even though i was weak inside. "please let's talk about the job you are offering my friend. He badly needs it" i begged. "yea i plan on making him an assistant manager and supervisor of this shop. He will see to the sales, take stocks, and supervise the salegirls. If he does well, in three months i will send him to supervise the shop i have at the outskirt of the town, which is three times the size of this one. Remember we have been there once?. The shop with Gym, mini resturant and car wash" she explained, while i smiled and liked my lips. "but it all depends on you. We are far from being friends are we not?" she asked, instantly turning me around with the difficult question. To be continued.

That is a condition or the condition is on the way

*continues* "so you won't give my friend the job, if i fail to define our relationship?" i asked curiously, "of course i'll offer him the job" she replied with a smile, surprising me with the answer. "what?" i murmured, "oh yes, I will give him the job. Contrary to what you may think about me, i'm not heartless nor a kind of person who asks of something in return for a favour. Your friend needs the job, it shows in his eyes and i won't be the person to kill his dream" she said with a calm smile, while i studied her suspiciously. Tessy really was a very smart lady. She had a way of getting around me, and no matter how hard i tried to read her, i always ended up with more questions in my head. "so can you now define our relationship to me?" she asked again, her eyes all over me, "we are friends without benefit" i answered quietly. She shook her head and shrugged, "okay if you say so" she breathed, her eyes darkening a little. "I know it's all because of your Ada girl" she eyed me, "but don't put too much hope in her. I know you will soon come running back to me" she added with a serious smile as if she saw my future. Her comment somehow terrified me, but i hid my feelings, even though i quickly remembered all the twin{Tessy's godmother's daughter} told me weeks ago. "i'm not feeling too fine. It has been ages i last had sex" she suddenly announced, expertly taking my mind off the previous comment with her new statement. But i still said nothing, which i knew surprised her, even though she never showed it. "i'm inviting you to come see my kids this evening. I told them you were coming yesterday but you disappointed us. Don't say no unless you want me to get angry" she swiftly said with a serious look. "alright no problem" i accepted. She smiled and sent for Frank who soon joined us. "you see i'm a very respectable lady and a difficult Boss. I will demand alot from you and take much of your time. I demand seriousness, dedication and uprightness from all my employees. I hate thieves and i hate anyone trying to steal from me. Be good to me and i will be good to you. Try and quickly arrange for an accomodation if you haven't gotten any. You are now employed. Report back to me whenever you are ready to start. You are the new supervisor of this shop and you know what it means. A good start in a city of opportunities" she gently said to Frank whose eyes instantly lit up with happiness. "thanks alot madam, i won't disappoint you" he thanked her politely, while i smiled over his changed tone. But unknown to my friend, i helped him because i was compelled to do so. Deep down, i wasn't comfortable with him getting close to Tessy since she wasn't attracted to him and as i smiled, i equally was planning on making him drop or lose the Job. To be continued..

*continues* 6:15pm I left Frank at Obinna's apartment and went over to Tessy's home to honour her invitation. My conscience wasn't pleased with my decision but i shut my heart. By 6:45pm, i was calmly seated in her sitting room while her Children played and jumped on my body. They really were very pleased to see me and jumped about as if i was their long lost uncle or should i say father. I had no choice than to act along with them. "you see my children are very fond of you. I don't know the reason you keep running away from us" Tessy joked as she watched her Children play. The smile on her face revealed how happy and satisfied she was over my presence in her house. "you know we never really discussed the salary, you will be paying my friend. The excitement and tension made me forget all about it" i muttered curiously as we were having a quiet dinner minutes later. She dropped her fork, stared at me for a while, cleaned her mouth with a table cloth before smiling at me. "do you think i will cheat on your friend, or take advantage of him?" she asked. I shrugged in defence. "of course not. I'm only curious to know the amount you plan paying him" i answered quietly, "I will discuss it with him, not you. So have you decided on what to do with your life after Nysc?" she cleverly asked, changing the topic. "i will marry Adaora, and together we will live forever after" i answered smiling. She simply rolled her eyes and laughed. "oh please, in your dream. Anyway best of luck" she said with laughter, while i instantly kept a straight face, saying nothing. It really was the second time she was making a jest of my relationship with Adaora just within hours. Something that got me worried, even though i hid my feelings. "you know that i'm helping your friend because of you?" she suddenly asked, expecting me to say something but i didn't. "you can still count on me for anything. No strings attached. Let's forget things of the past and leave them where they belong" she said like an angel while i nodded like a lizard. __ As she dropped me at Obinna's house, by 9:35pm, she brought out an envelope which she tried to give me. "since you guys are returning to Imo state tomorrow. I feel obliged to pay for the transport fare, after all you guys came on my request. It's just fifteen thousand" She said with a smile, which truly was quite tempting. But my dealings with her taught me quite alot. I learnt from her that no money freely given, were actually given for free. "oh don't bother. We have enough money with us" i smiled, "so you are rejecting my gift?" she said with a drawn face, "fine give it to your friend" she quickly added, putting me in a difficult position. "i'll call and tell him about the money tomorrow. Your friend needs it and he won't forgive you if you reject it" she said, dropping it on my laps. I breathed deeply, took the money and left her car. The next day, Frank and I headed back to Imo state. My dear friend was more than happy and satisfied with our journey, plus the fifteen thousand Naira i brought for him. But unknown to him, i was very determined to stop him from taking the job, which made me offer to go with him to the village when we got to Owerri as a friendly gesture. Little did he know that i was about serving him with the medicine he was fond of serving me during our university days. I was about doing to him something which he was so good at. Something which i really wasn't proud of, but had to do in order to safeguard my interest. To be continued.

*continues* We finally got to Frank's family house by 7:35pm. I was nervous as i alighted from my car. I had a big plan i was scared to carry out. Just as i expected, his mother rushed out from the house to welcome us. She really was surprised to see me, showing her happiness by the way she hugged us. "my mind is now at rest" she said happily. I nodded and smiled, while Frank shook hands with me before walking into his room. "i have to start going, good night ma" i murmured polietly, turning to leave, "what! Don't tell me you are driving back to Owerri by this hour?" she asked with concern, stopping me with her words. My heart pounded furiously, as i rehearsed my plan one more time. "can't you spend the night here with us? Must you rush back to Owerri this evening?" she asked curiously. "no i'm not returning to Owerri, but heading to my village" i answered politely. She shrugged and breathed deeply. "did my son get the job?, what sort of job is it?" she asked curiously, drawing close with all her attention. I smiled to myself, things really were working as i expected. I had studied my friend's mother so much to know that she was the curious type. I knew she would like to hear my opinion just like most mothers, which really prompted me to offer taking Frank home. I cleverly looked around for any sign of Frank. He was no where near, just like i prayed. All stage was then set for me to do wonders with my tongue. "yea he got the job, but unfortunately. It isn't the type of job i expected. He got the job of a salesman" i answered, stopping to watch her reaction. "salesman?, in a company?" she asked hopefully, "no in a big shop. You know supermarket?, boutique? Something like that" i explained, while she drew back with astonishment. Just like every mother, she was expecting a respectable white collar job for her graduate son and not the work of a shop boy. A very painful thing. "The owner of the shop is a very young woman. A divorcee with kids, and i have a feeling Frank will be moving into her house until he gets his own apartment. She's a very nice woman and likes your son. So i don't think there will be any problem, moreover he likes the job" i explained with an innocent smile, while she drew back with mixed feelings. "mbanu {no} It can't happen. Shop boy?, my graduate son selling shoes and biscuits!, for what nah?, how much will he be paid?, he can't just travel all the way to Abuja for that sort of Job. God gave me money to send him to the university. God will still give me the money to feed him, until he gets a better work. What if he goes to live with that woman and she ends up influencing and marrying him. I have heard stories. He isn't going anywhere. My only son, mbanu" she poured out seriously. "i don't think Frank feels the same way you do. It's better you talk with him" i suggested, smiled and left the furious woman. I had no doubt she would complete my plans for me, but i was a bit scared of the outcome.. All that was then left, was for me to sit and wait. To be continued.

*continues* Very early the next day, Frank called me on phone. I smiled nervously as i picked up my phone, I knew what was coming next. The early morning phone call didn't come as a surprise, Infact i was expecting it. "nawa for you!, what did you tell my mother?, what did you do to me?, why must you tell her about the shop" he barked, clearly displaying his anger without thinking. His voice was very loud and strong. "why did you tell my mother all the nasty things you told her? Must you tell her everything?. Must you talk about Tessy's marital status? You have ruined my first job offer and i'm far from being pleased with you. I knew all along that you never really wanted to help me. What did i do to warrant it?" he poured out unhappily. The tone he used on me was that of anger, bitterness, frustration and disappointment. I felt bad, but there wasn't any need for me crying over split milk, moreover i did what i felt was good for my future. He wasn't the type of friend i could trust with a seasoned manipulative lady like Tessy. "i really don't understand you bro?, i don't get you? what did i do huh?. You know the kind of woman your mother is, Don't you?. She asked me lots of questions and i answered them innocently, why now are you laying blame on me for answering her?. You never asked me to lie to her, did you?. Why now are you bringing up unwarranted accusations against a friend who did nothing but help you get a job. I don't like your atitude Frank, seriously i don't" i fired back with an angry voice, which really worked great magic on him because he instantly brought down his tone. "i'm sorry, i guess you are right" he murmured, stopping to breathe while i smiled to myself. "My mum is against me taking the job. I have tried convincing her but she isn't buying my reasons" he announced. "JEEZ!" I exclaimed, "why?, what's wrong with the job?, what matters is the salary, moreover it's better than staying idle. Why is she kicking against it?" i asked with an innocent tone. "i don't know oooo. She dosen't want me to work in a shop. She promised to open a shop for me in the village, if i try arguing with her over the matter again" he poured out. I felt like laughing, but controlled myself. "don't worry brother, i will come over and try my best to convince her this weekend" I promised. But i never kept my word because i rushed home two days later after getting a distress call from my mother. "i don't know dear, but i think we are on the verge of losing Adaora. If she really means anything to you and to our family, you have to come back home as fast as you can" she {had} begged, sending great fear into my heart with her words. My thoughts ran wild as i thought of many things. It really was the first time she was sounding so anxious over Adaora's position in a long while. "is Tessy on it again" i wondered as i nervously drove home. To be continued.

Interesting

Omg!!!!! Coolval I can pay you to update this thing now now!!!!!!dis is getting interesting

*continues* On getting home, it turned out that Adaora was still indecisive over the state of our relationship and she was on the verge of leaving the country to join her family abroad without telling me nor revealing her full plans to my worried mother who was left with no choice than to send for me. Luckily, she was in our house when i arrived home, which kind of calmed my mind a bit. After having a long talk with mum later in the evening, i quickly swung into action, begining proceedings to know her plans and perhaps win her back with the little time available. However it was far from being easy for me. Adaora wasn't considerate as she used to be, it equally wasn't easy getting her to talk to me and when she did open her mouth, the words that came out were horrible and painful, but i never lost hope because i still saw love in her words and action. It took me a long week to convince her of my love, after much begging and love making. I made lots of promises i never knew i could make. One of them was promising to take her on a vacation after my nysc, precisely by June ending. I equally planned proposing to her during the vacation with the intention of fixing and planing our wedding there and then. I felt it was the only way to set things right and forever live together with her ever after. I had great plans with the best intentions even though my heart was far from being pure. In the end, she believed in me once again, believed in my promises and looked forward to the vacation with her noble heart, thus cancelling her trip {abroad} for my humble sake. Mum was pleased with me. My sisters were happy. I was satisfied, but deep down i was scared. I feared something bad would happen and spoil my plans. My love for Adaora was huge so was my fears. I however knew that i was to be blamed in everything happening to our relationship, because the devil wouldn't have entered if i never gave it the chance. "i have accepted you fully back. Yes i know that i'm stupid for doing it, but it's all because i'm stupidly in love with you. Please don't make me regret my decision" she begged when i was ready to leave. "bros, i don't trust you but please don't hurt Adaora. You know what's she's sacrificing by deciding to stay?" my immediate younger sister pleaded. "you know Adaora has always been my favourite. Don't deny me the pleasure of having her as my daughter inlaw" mum asked of me. I travelled back to Imo state with their words ringing in my head. I had a big task to fulfill, not only for myself but for my family. "yes i will propose to her by June and we will get married in Decemeber" i calculated thoughtfully. But deep down, a part of me felt that rushing into marriage with Adaora wouldn't solve my problems, but first fixing myself would. "no matter what, I have to keep my plans from Frank and Tessy" i concluded. Frank wasn't my enemy but somehow i felt he was. Yet upon all the precautions, how far did i go with my plans?? To be continued.

u know how far but we don't. That while we are here wait

*continues* I spent two uneventful weeks at my PPA before returning to my apartment in Owerri town. So far things were going nicely as i hoped they would. However Tessy called to know what was keeping Frank from coming to start work. According to her my friend has refused answering her phone calls. It quickly dawned on me that perhaps Frank was too ashamed of telling her the truth, which was then left for me to do. "seems like he isn't comfortable with the job you offered. I don't think he is taking it" i informed her calmly. She kept quiet for a while. "very well then. Send my regards to him" she said and hung up, surprising me with the calm way she recieved the news. She displayed no anger nor any negative behaviour. Frank showed up at my apartment three days later, looking unusually serious. "you didn't keep your promise. You promised to talk to my mother didn't you?" he asked, forcing me to give some excuses but he really wasn't listening. "guy let's forget about Tessy's job offer. I really don't think i would have coped working with her. Now that i have lost the job, i hope you will help me get another one" he asked seriously. "of course bro, you can count on my help" i promised. Through out the following week and the next, we spent our time moving from one ministry to another. One office to another, sharing CVs, bribing and begging for unavailable jobs. It really wasn't easy, moving from one place to another, under heavy sun, high hopes and prayers. It equally wasn't easy asking for job in offices where no vacancy notice was posted. It slowly dawned on us that our dear country was nothing but a hell hole. Young adults without money nor powerful godfathers have little or no hopes of survival. It really is terrible spending four to six years in school only to be told after nysc to go learn a trade and generate income. Other countries gives statistics yearly/monthly on the number of jobs created for their citizens. But ours tells us to generate our own jobs. Seriously i see no need going to university anymore. Yes I might be wrong, but i definetly think that if starting up a business is easy for graduates, there won't be millions of unemployed graduates in the street. I really don't think it's laziness, or not being innovative that is hindering them. With the high level of literacy going on with the present generation, our government really need to come up with something better than the good old song they have been singing since 1999. ____ "guy i think i will move into music and try my luck in it. I also have an uncle in lagos who promised to send shoes and clothes i can be selling. I have no choice, i'm getting fed up" Frank poured out at the end of the second week of futile job hunting. I couldn't say anything because my lips were tied. The two weeks of job hunting taught me a bitter lesson. The real world is nothing compared to campus nor Nysc life. The news of Adaora's sickness flashed in days later, almost destroying me. "We havn't seen anything like it. It's very serious my dear, i can't believe you aren't aware" mum announced with a quiet whisper. I couldn't believe my ears. To be continued.

*continues* I travelled home to meet my queen down with terrible fever. She looked horrible, so thin and helpless. I was totally stunned and speechless. Adaora really wasn't the sick type. In all the years i have known her, she hadly suffered any serious ailment, which really left me totally shocked because of the sudden nature of the fever and the rate it was eating her up. She was admitted in a private hospital the same day i got home. The doctor assured us that she was going to get better, according to him it was simply typhoid fever which has eaten into her system, totally weakening her immune system. We were assured that she would get better in days. I was forced to cancel every other engagements to be by her side. It was an opportunity to prove my dedication and love to her once again. "i hope you aren't risking a lot just to be with me?. My mother is around, so is your mother and sisters. You shouldn't worry, i'm okay with them" she kept telling me. "don't worry my dear. Just get better for me" i always replied with a sweet smile. However as days dragged by, the sickness dragged on. Some days she woke up a bit healthy and strong, the next day it goes back to square one, dashing our hopes. I prayed for her, so was every member of my family and hers. Yet her condition dragged on, forcing her to take series of expensive tests. Finally after days of anxious waiting, her condition improved, her lively spirit, appetite and strength returned to an accepted level. We all breathed deeply and thanked God, but her mother wasn't satisfied nor willing to take more risks. "i'm taking her abroad for a more precise treatment. I'm still not satisfied with the improvement" she told us two days later, leaving me totally shocked even though the decision was a brilliant one. I saw my plans and hopes dashing before my eyes.The way things were going we might end up not having the vacation. I might end up not proposing to her in June. "GOD why why why?" i cried, "mum told me about the plans she's making. You know i can't stop her. But do know that i will always be there with you in spirit, so don't be dejected my love, i'm feeling it much more than you" Adaora assured me with tears in her eyes. I longed to travel with her. I wished to be by her side where ever she went. But what could i do. She finally left the country with her mother on June 1st 2013. Such a painful parting it was, but it truly was for her own good and her life comes first above any other thing. Her departure made me very miserable. I felt i had lost her. I felt i failed her. I had no choice than to return to Imo state the next day in preparation of my Nysc passing out parade. To be continued.

*continues* My passing out day finally approached. A day filled with bright sunshine and happiness. I wished Adaora was there to share my happiness. The twin {Tessy's godmother's daughter} who once spied on me however surprised me with her presence. I really wasn't expecting her to show up because i merely informed her of my Nysc passing ceremony days ago, just like i informed all my friends. Her presence truly was unexpected but yes i welcomed her with happiness. We took pictures, had a nice time with friends before returning to my apartment later in the evening. "how i wish i'm in your shoes" she hugged me happily when we were all alone in my apartment. I smiled and held her softly. "yea life of hardship and stress begins" i murmured. She drew back her head and stared into my eyes. "c'mon i know you have something already planned out. You are a big boy nah. Do big boys experience hardship in life?" she joked, winking at me. I couldn't help but feel my temperature rise, slowly igniting an uncalled passion. I swallowed hard, my heart beat increasing. I tried to control myself, but my eyes fell on her slightly exposed chest which revealed a big part of her bosoms firmly squeezed inside a tight fitting bra and shirt. I wasn't at ease any longer. I tried to back away. "c'mon give me a peck, you deserve it" she added, presenting her cheek in a very sweet and seductive posture. I smiled, brought down my lips and pecked her. I couldn't help but percieve the sweet fragrance her hair emitted. I slowly drew back and stared at her. She blushed, her colour instantly glowed as our eyes met. The passion, the urge, the desire in me aroused tremendously. I breathed quickly as i weighed my options. My body was willing and on fire but my spirit was indecisive and confused. The pretty girl before me stood without knowing what to do. Sure i was wasting time and i just couldn't fathom what was going through in her mind. She tried to back away by turning, but i quickly grabbed her waist while she let go of herself, falling on my couch and pulling me down with the pressure. I found myself on top of her, my right hand still on her waist. She cleverly turned, facing me with mouth wide open, eyes half closed in total submisson. I was now on fire, my joystick on rage. I hesitated, weighing the risks, while her hands grabbed my head, pushing it down in between her exposed cleavage. She was all mine, but is she worth the risk?? To be continued.

Hmm! Action film

*continues* We soon began kissing intensely, our passion intense and enormous. Each passing moment increased the heat in us. I was finally set to penetrate her. "easy please" she suddenly begged, tightly hugging me and calming the passion in us. "let's take it slowly, i'm about busting in excitement. You are so sweet" she whispered in my ear, expertly caressing my back in the process. I breathed deeply, my head was about to explode. "let's go to the bedroom sweetheart" i moaned, picking up myself and dragging her up with me. She offered no resistance, blushing as she meekly followed me to the bedroom where i expertly closed in on her once again, cupping her breasts softly. She moaned, wriggling in excitement. I ripped out my shirt, ripped out hers, breathing heavily as i explored her sweetly curved bosoms. My lips soon fell on her nip.ples, hungrily sucking on them like a hungry child. "arhhh val, arhhh" she moaned in response, lifting up her chest for me. Slowly i went for her trouser, unbuttoning and pulling it down halfway. She was over excited, so was I. "what are you waiting for? Be fast" she urged me seriously. I quickly reached for my wallet and searched for a condom, but unfortunately i found none. My jaw instantly fell. My joystick went limp. I hissed in disappointment as i quickly remembered that i was yet to replenish my stock after making use of the last one at home weeks ago {the period i travelled to make up with Adaora before she fell sick}. It never really came to my mind nor did i attach much importance into getting new packs of condom, since Adaora wasn't available {and i wasn't into my old life anymore}. Life really has a way of changing things. The young girl before me, curiously stared at me with eyes filled with questions. I swallowed hard, my heart beat slowly decreasing. "i have no condoms" i confessed with apology. She bit her lips and looked away in embarrassment, covering her face with her hands as she backed me. To be continued.

See Gobe! God no let this happen to me o bcos I wouldn't reconsider

*continues* "i'm so sorry dear. I really wasn't prepared. Please do not resent me. Please" i begged without thinking straight. The words that came out from my mouth that moment were far from wise. My actions and body language were that of a confused young man. My lips quivered while my heart sank. The young girl before me still hid her face with embarrassment, saying nothing and making no move. I was very tempted to proceed with the love making without any protection. "you don't love me Val" she suddenly murmured, shocking me. I stared at her with surprise, unable to figure out if her speech was a form of question or a simple sentence. Slowly, she pulled up herself, facing me with eyes coloured with shame and perhaps regret. "you don't love me" she said again, looking me straight in the eyes. I couldn't understand the motive behind such words. She knew of Adaora, she equally was very much aware of my dealings with Tessy. "what does she want?" i wondered as i stared at her with concern. Quietly i reached out and held her. "you know i like you alot. I'm also very fond of you. But you know i'm not a good person. You know my story very well and i just can't understand you at this stage" i said calmly. She brought down her face, saying nothing. "it's better we remain friends. I'm tired of hurting the people i love. I don't want to hurt you dear, trust me i'm a bad guy and i'm really sorry for taking advantage of you" i apologized meekly. "i'm well aware of the risks. I wouldn't have been here if my mind wasn't already made up. I know what i want. I like you as a person. I like everything about you and wouldn't it be better we try things out?" she quickly suggested, shocking me once again with her words. I couldn't believe my ears. I couldn't believe it was all real. She really was very pretty, young, and {looks quite rich}. She never appeared to me like a girl who could come after a guy like me. I was stunned beyond imagination. But what i failed to reason was if she truly was in love with me or just coming after me for something perhaps playing out a new role for Tessy. To be frank the thought never crossed my mind because her actions and body language were so real, moreover she already had gained my trust after revealing Tessy's plans to me months ago. "Is she for real??" i asked myself over and over. To be continued. Frank's diary continues on Tuesday

*continues* "maybe it's a bad idea after all. I just disgraced myself, didn't i??" she sadly asked. I smiled reassuredly, caressing her hand. "you like me. I like you. I guess it will be bad if we fail to give it a trial" i said sweetly. She rolled her eyes and said nothing. I couldn't believe the words that came out from my mouth were mine. "i really havn't changed" i said to myself with a calm smile. "are you sure of what you just said?" she asked with eyes beeming with smiles. I breathed deeply and hugged her. "of course my dear, but we really have to take things slow" i whispered in her ear. "take things slow, like no sex?" she asked curiously. I drew back her head, stared into her eyes and nodded in affirmative. "i can't believe this is coming from a guy. No sex hmmm" she laughed, pinching me in the process. We finally slept holding each other. Such a peaceful and wonderful night it was. Deep down i somehow wished Adaora was with me. We spent two days together before parting ways on the third day. I headed back to Enugu while she travelled back to her school. Perhaps if mum hadn't called me on the second day to ask what was keeping me from returning home, i might have stayed a bit longer with her. She really wasn't happy we were parting so quickly. To her it was the end. She felt we won't be seeing each other again. "Val i hope this isn't the end?. I really love you" she cried as i dropped her at Okigwe junction. I perfectly understood her fears. Deep down i shared the same sentiment with her, but i acted cool, smiled, kissed and reassured her once again that our affair would last a lifetime. Hmmmm, finally my life as a corper has come to an end. A new era opened. How will it all end. Will Adaora return to the country for my sake?. Will things get better between Tessy and i?. How about the new girl {The twin}?. Hmmm too many questions. Watch out for the season3 of my story titled LIFE AS AN ADULT To be continued.
