“Audrey please why are you doing this to me?”
“God damn it. What do you want from me?”
“I just wanna love you” he said standing up
“I can’t love you. How many times do you want me to say it?” she replied
“Audrey” he said taking a deep breath
“Please give me a chance” he said
“No I can’t I love someone else”
“Audrey, you are going out with aboy you are way older than, I am a man who can take care of you, I am a man who can show you love more than small boys” he said
“I don’t need you to care for me, I can care for myself. And he’s not a small boy, I love him”
“Audrey you have to be mature what you are doing is unreasonable” he said
“Really? Ok get out of my store now”
“Audrey listen”
“Get out now” she said angrily
“Audrey please”
“Get out” she said pushing him, it was quite embarrassing because of the so many people in there. He walked out got into his car & drove off. She walked into her office and closed the door. . . .
Max climbed down the stairs fast with a file in his hand, he adjusted his tie and made for the door, when he saw his wife sitting down looking unhappy; he paused and walked towards her, he sat beside her
“It’s a new day” he said
“It isn’t to me”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s the same old day”
“What are you talking about?”
“If it’s a new day we’ll have something new may be a child” she said
“I thought we had passed this stage”
“Stage? This is our marriage we’re talking about not a life cycle” she said angrily
“So what do you want me to do?”
“Be a man do what men do” she said
“I see I think you are losing it”
“Really? Max this is the reason why women cheat on their husbands” she said and walked away. Max was so angry at her for what she said
He left the house and headed to the office, still thinking; he arrived at the office he received compliments before settling in his office. He sat down thinking when his secretary came in
“Good morning sir” she said smiling
He raised his head to look at her and he forgot how to reply because of what he saw
Rachael parked her car in front of her supermarket; she sat in the car for some minutes with her head on the steering wheel. She wasn’t so happy with herself and that’s why she failed to dress up to a high taste or class.
She finally stepped out of the car; she looked around and walked into the store
“Good morning Ma” one of the sales girls said
“Good morning my dear”
“Ma your sister came to the store yesterday and took #370 thousand from the locker saying that you asked her to bring it urgently”
“What?” she almost screamed, she became so angry she left the supermarket & headed back home.
She parked her car outside the gate & entered the compound, went to the door and as she got in she saw David dancing with her sister
“What are you doing” she said angrily, they ignored her. She went over and turned off the DVD
“What the hell?” David said
“Are you crazy? What are you doing?”
“We are dancing” Rita said sweating
“Rita why did you go take money from my store”
“Me? I didn’t”
“Shut up you liar. You took #370 thousand from my store, why?”
“Oh that” she said unserious
“Yes that”
“I used it for a party with my friends in school”
“What?” Rachael said angrily, she immediately slapped her sister
“What you slapped me?” Rita said
“Why did you do that?” David said to Rachael
“Shut up, I’ll do it again” she said and suddenly Rita slapped her too. She couldn’t believe it
“You slapped me? Rachael said and wanted to beat her but David held her
“Leave me alone” she struggled
“Stop it, you slapped first Na” David said
“O so you are supporting her” Rachael said
“You started it” he said
“Rita get out of my house and never come back” Rachael said angrily
“No problem I’ll leave” she said & walked inside
“What are you doing?” David said but she walked out of the house
“Rachael” he called but she walked away. . . . .
Yvonne was still thinking as she entered the house; she refused to go into her bedroom so she went into the guest room to take her bath and after she did she decided to go upstairs, pack her things & leave.
She walked upstairs slowly in a moody face, she opened her room door only to see a man with a white towel round his waist and then her husband came out of the bathroom too with towel round his waist she was surprised
“What’s going on here?” she asked
“Yvonne you are back” he said without a surprise look
“Don’t tell me it’s what I think it is”
“Yes it is” he said holding the man
“What? You are gay. You are fucking homo” she said loudly
“Don’t worry, your things are already packed” he said to her, she was surprised that he had already packed her things she just went over and picked her things from the table & packed her bags & left without anymore words
She got to her car opened the backdoor & dropped her things in there then she entered & drove off to nowhere in mind. She decided to lodge in a hotel for sometime
She drove into the hotel premises, then she brought out her bags and immediately someone came with a bag carrier
“Good morning madam, let me help with that?”
“O thank you” she said & handed the bag over He followed behind her, she entered the reception & went to the counter
“Good morning” she said
“Good morning ma” the lady said smiling
“Please I need a room”
“What type of room please?”
“An executive suite please”
“Ok madam how long do you plan on staying”
“A week”
“Ok ma that’s gonna cost you #1.5 million including all other benefit and feed” she said smiling
“Ok let’s say a month” she said and the attendant was surprised
“Ok ma we’ll give you a discount of 10%, so you’ll pay 5.5 million”
“Ok that’s fine” she said and brought out her credit card and handed it over and after some seconds she received it back.
“Thank you ma”
“Thank you” she said and walked away with the room key. Yvonne is a very senior staff in NUPENG so doesn’t wonder how she got such money. She arrived at room 201
“Allow me” the attendant said collecting the key to open the door for her
“Thank you” she said smiling. She walked in and he followed her with the bags
“Put it there, thank you “she said and he dropped it and about to leave when she called him back
“Here have this” she brought out some money from her hand bag #1000 notes without counting she handed them to him, he was full of excitement
“Thank you ma” he collected it with both hands & bowed
“You’re welcome” she said smiling, he left & she closed the door she packed up her things and started arranging them because she knew she would be here for some time . . . .
The night came but Maria had not seen her husband, she looked at the time it was 9:30pm, she dialed his number but he didn’t pick
“God I hope he’s fine” she was really scared because Max always came back by 6:30pm & now it’s been 3 hrs but no sign of him but as she panicked she heard the horn of his car, she quickly ran outside she saw the gate man run to the gate and opened the gate and Max’s car came into the compound
“Thank God” she said happily
Max came out of the car with a file in his hand; she opened her arms to give him a hug but he just walked past her without a smile. She felt embarrassed; he walked into the house and went up stairs& into his room. Maria came into the room still surprised about his attitude
“Max what was that outside?” she said referring to his unpleasant attitude. He was silent as he took of his coat & tie and taking of his shirt she asked again
“Max what’s wrong with you? You stayed out late and you are back without saying a word. I welcomed you & you ignored me” she said loudly but it seemed like he had gone deaf cause he didn’t utter a word; he didn’t even look at her face. She was becoming angry; he just took his towel and walked into the bathroom and locked the door. Maria was surprised because he had never done that ever since they got married
“Max please talk to me “she said knocking on the door
After 15 mins, he came out of the bathroom, he saw her sitting on the bed; he walked to the wardrobe and took out his night wears and after wearing it, he went and sat down on the bed, he brought out his laptop from his bag and opened it
“Max is this about what I said in the morning?” she said turning to look at him but he didn’t respond
“Ok, my love I’m sorry please it won’t happen again I’m really sorry” she said but no response they were both quiet for 5 mins until she said
“I prepared some Jollof rice and turkey for you” she said smiling but he continued with what he was doing
“I already served yours or should I bring it up her?” she asked but he didn’t utter a word he just closed the laptop and laid on the bed & closed his eyes. Maria laid on the bed facing him but he turned and backed her. She decided not to disturb him and soon he was asleep. . . . . . .
“Hello beautiful” a guy said to Yvonne as she sat down watching a movie with a bottle of Hennessey. She turned her head and looked at him then turned to face the cinema TV
“What do you want?” she asked
“I was sitting over there and just wondering why a beautiful girl like you would be sitting at the back here all alone” he said smiling, she looked at him again then looked at the TV
“So after wondering you decided to come do what actually” she said sipping from the bottle
“actually, I came to relax with you and chat” he said smiling
“Don’t you think relaxing with me might cost you your life?” she said without looking at him and the smile on his face disappeared
“Excuse me?” he said
“Of Cause you are excused” she said
“I think you are taking too much of that alcohol” he said and she looked at the bottle
“I think you are right, here have some” she said giving him the bottle
“No thanks” he replied
“Ok, you don’t drink right?” she asked him. From the way she spoke she was already drunk
“You are drunk” he said
“No you are drunk” she replied
“No am not” he said
“I think you are because if you are not, you wouldn’t be sitting your ass over there and start wondering why am alone here” she said
“Your alcohol is too much” he said trying to collect the bottle
“Don’t you dare” she said and he pulled back
“look am just here as a friend” he said
“You see what am saying? You are drunk because if you weren’t you would understand that the reason am sitting here alone is because I wanna be left alone and if I needed a guy I would call for one and definitely not you” she said
“You are crazy” he said and walked away
“Your mama” she yelled at him
“Idiato” she said and laughed
“And am even more drunk to have listened to you wondering about me” she said laughing; after sometime she left the cinema room
Yvonne was just coming back from the hotel’s cinema room, she walked to her room door sluggishly then opened her bag brought out the key and it dropped from her hand, she bent down and picked it up & opened the door, the room was dark so she put on the lights; she turned to look at the time it was 9:15pm, she walked to her bed side and saw a paper on the floor she picked it up and opened it; it was a phone number, she looked at it & read it but didn’t recognize/know the number
“How did this get here?” she said but she looked at it, she threw it in her waste basket, she just finished eating and she was tired, she turned on the A.C cause the room was hot, she laid on the bed to sleep, she closed her eyes to sleep then the event that occurred earlier came to her mind, she remembered the stranger but couldn’t see his face, she recalled seeing herself in front of her gate in her car,
then suddenly she saw herself on 3rd mainland bridge and the sun was hot she could feel it on her skin and suddenly she saw a thriller coming towards her on speed it seemed it lost control but as she tried to run the thrilled hit her off the bridge and she immediately opened her eyes & got up from the bed, she was sweating even in the A.C, she was surprised that she had started dreaming just now. She set her feet down the bed but stepped on something; she looked down and saw that same piece of paper, she picked it opened it and the same number again
“How did it get here again?” now she was scared, the alcohol was clearing off gradually, she went to the waste basket and looked inside and saw nothing, she threw it back in the basket and went back to her bed, then she heard the sound of water in her bathroom, she almost freaked out she stood up and walked to the door, she suddenly became scared of opening the door but she summoned courage and opened it and as she entered she could hear the sound coming from behind the shower curtains.
She was scared but she walked over and opened the shower curtain and saw nothing. The shower was off, the tube was dry as bone
“O no Alcohol is playing on my intelligence” she said to her self and walked back to her room and just beside the bed was the same paper waiting for her.
Now at this point the alcohol had cleared off her eyes, she paused in fear, she bent down and looked under the bed but nothing, she refused to pick the paper
“What is going on here?” she was scared and quickly went for the door but the door refused to open, she struggled but nothing and suddenly the lights went out
“O My God” her heart was racing, she was breathing heavily, her pupils dilated in search of light and then suddenly a bright red light shined from the wall close to her bed, she quickly blocked her eyes as she glued to the door with fear and then suddenly she saw a figure coming out of the light, it was like a short old lady with a walking stick and a big load on her head, Yvonne couldn’t see her face.
What was on the old lady’s head was like an octopus. Yvonne was freaking out as the red light gave out heat and made her sweat. The old lady walked slowly towards Yvonne and in the old lady’s other hand was a devil’s trident. Yvonne knew the woman was going to kill her and she tried to run but couldn’t move a foot, she tried to scream but couldn’t, she started crying as the old lady came closer…
“Rachael! Rachael!!” David yelled
“What” she said sitting down in the palour
“Your sister is not leaving this house” he said
“Excuse me?” she said turning to look at him
“No excuses, if she leaves I’ll leave too” he said
“David how can you say that?” she said standing up
“She stays” he said
“David you have something going on with my sister”
“(Laughs) really? Is that how you see it? Ok no problem am leaving with her” he said walking away
“No wait please, I love you but my sister is giving me problems, she goes around taking my money without my permission. She owes debts which I end up paying for and she aint grateful”
“So am not grateful” Rita said coming out
“David you see what am saying, she doesn’t even show me respect despite the fact that she stays in my house”
“Ok, I’ll leave or do you think I cant survive without you” Rita said
“Shut up” David yelled
“Rita be quiet, show your elder sister some respect, we all know you wouldn’t survive without her. And Rachael let her stay please forgive her, I’ll talk to her and she will behave” David said and Rachael was silent
“Rachael” David called her attention
“Ok, she’ll stay but you better talk to her” Rachael said and walked upstairs to her room
“Rita behave yourself, what’s wrong with you? Why would you take her money without her permission?”
“Well, ok I won’t take her money again” she said
“Good” David said smiling
“Come here” Rita said and dragged David to her room
