    Great Evil

    Written by Sadiq Infinity

    (OMNISCIENT POV)

    That night while Christen and Riley were celebrating her pregnancy with their relatives,… Monife sits alone in the hangout sulking and tending to her wounds inflicted to her by Rose, after unsuccessfully trying to frame Riley, The others in the hangout ignore her completely as if she’s a total stranger to them.

    This change of circumstances makes her boil and seethe with rage and jealousy, but that’s nothing compared to the rage and displeasure she felt when she found out that Christen was carrying Riley’s child. The thought of losing Christen to Riley made her shout in rage scattering and smashing whatever she sees around her.

    The other mystic beings in the hangout stare at her as she behaves like a mad person, Seeing that she wouldn’t stop, They grab hold of her and throw her out of the place.

    Monife who felt insulted and humiliated raves and curses them before leaving the place, as she walks alone on the road, she begins to talk to herself.

    .

    Monife ➡ Curses! Curses! May Naberius curse that Riley…. So in order to make Christen his for life, he impregnates her to seal their relationship…. Arrrggghhhh…. Thinking about it makes me so angry….. And that Rose… She stands by and allow this filth to alter the bloodline of their family… This is nothing but an abomination.. This is a taboo beyond imagination, I would have reported this to the council but Christen will get involved as well and she will get punished or worse.. I don’t want that, I want her to be safe so that in time when Riley is no more, she and I can be together….. I have to do something about this.. If I can’t have Christen all to myself then no one will especially that Riley.. I must do something about this…… But what am i going to do?

    .

    In that moment, Monife stops talking and stands still, she then smiles wickedly and laughs to herself… After that, she teleports herself to somewhere else.

    Meanwhile somewhere around outskirts of Ibadan, Satania is hiding and taking refuge in an old abandoned warehouse.. She grumbles and complains realized the body she is currently possessing is about to die out.

    Whilst she was doing that, she hears some faint noise making way towards the place she’s in, she becomes alert and quickly hides herself in the shadows waiting for the person to enter, as the noise gets closer and closer, she then thinks of which way to attack or protect her then suddenly, She sees Christen inside the room, she smiles and comes out of her hiding place.

    .

    Satania ➡ Christen… You scared the life out of me… I wasn’t expecting you.. How did you find me?

    .

    Monife ➡ It doesn’t matter, in fact I’m here for something else… First of all, I’m not Christen.. This is just a disguise.. Let me show you.

    .

    Satania watches in shock as Christen morphs back into Monife, she stares at her intently and then asks who she is.

    .

    Satania ➡ What’s the meaning of this? Who are you?

    .

    Monife ➡ My name is Monife.. A shape shifting witch.. I’ve been assigned to spy on you..

    .

    Satania ➡ So where is the real Christen?

    .

    Monife ➡ She’s somewhere else and trust me.. She’s wants nothing to do with you.

    .

    Satania ➡ What is going on?

    .

    Monife ➡ I see you haven’t figured it out.. One of your followers is a human spy sent by the witch’s to infiltrate your cult, He’s the one responsible for the fall of your cult and the demise of all your loyal subjects.. You’re all alone now and it’s only a matter of time before they come for you.

    .

    Satania ➡ Aren’t you one of them? Why are you telling me this? Why betray your companions..

    .

    Monife ➡ (laughs) Companions!? No.. They’re not my companions.. I only agreed to this because of one thing and this was Christen.. Now I realized I’m just been used as a puppet and I won’t allow that.

    .

    Satania ➡ What do you want? I’m sure there’s a reason behind this your betrayal.

    .

    Monife ➡ It’s not about what I want, it’s both what we both want… Revenge! I’m sure you would want Riley to pay for what he’s done and I want him to pay as well for robbing me of my chance to have a future with Christen.

    .

    Satania ➡ So that’s his name? So do you want him dead!?

    .

    Monife ➡ Killing him would be too mercifully, I want to break, humiliate and make him suffer, I’m going to destroy his bond with those he loves especially Christen and I’m going to make him look like an enemy in front of their very eyes.. I’m going to ruin him.

    .

    Satania ➡ But first… How sure can I trust you? Because you didn’t seem to bother betraying your former allies?

    .

    Monife ➡ Oh you can trust me.. I’m going to help you with your quest. I’m going to get as many vessels as you want, all I want is revenge.. Nothing more.. You can do as you please with the people, I don’t care.

    .

    Satania ➡ (smiles) Very well then.. What’s your plan in making this traitor suffer?

    .

    Monife ➡ Here’s what I have in mind…….

    .

    (RILEY)

    Life sure gets more intense when a man at a certain stage of his life has to cater and take responsibility of the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with, but with love, tolerance and patience, everything will work out fine.

    Whenever I think about the level I am right now, I still can’t believe I’m going to start a family with Christen, our wedding date was still yet unfixed but we’ve managed to make preparations for it.. As the days went by, I did the best I could to get money so I could take care of Christen and the baby, The campus was still on strike so I couldn’t sit down and wait until the Government had called off the strike which only God knows when they will.

    Rose on her own part had provided truck load of cash to my account insisting that I stayed at home and looked after her sister, It was quite generous of her but I just couldn’t sit down, I’m a man and I have to hustle, so with the money she gave me, I used it start a bigger and better business..Khalid who was hands deep in the business of selling exported cars showed me the in and outs of the business and after a week, I was able to get a hang of it and thanks to Rose’s juju (dark magic), the business was booming, when Khalid saw how well my own business was, he insisted on the both of us partnering up and I agreed. Before long, a lot of people heard about my business, and among them was Timothy, he quickly called me and asked if I could offer a him a spot in my business, though I didn’t involve him in my business, I did however gave him enough money that he could use to start his own business and he was very grateful.

    Now that I was earning healthy profits, I decided to pay Christen’s bride price and I was going to do it in a grand style but paying Christens bride price was kind of tricky, In the witch’s custom, they don’t pay bride prices like the way we humans do, instead the Groom engages in some kind of an arranged tournament or test set by the brides family to prove his resolve that he can take care of the needs of his soon to be bride…

    And from what I heard the tournament was taken very seriously and was very intense, If the groom loses, then he loses his woman but if he wins, they get to spend three days mating with each other, that is the custom … When I was told about this , I felt some kind of tumor in my stomach.. How else could I possibly engage in something like this? Besides I’m no match against this witches when it comes to physical strength 💪. They would easy tear me apart..

    Christen didn’t want me to participate in this but then Aunt Jezebel insisted that it was compulsory and since this tournament was going to take place in front of the family, I had to do it and prove myself.

    On the day of the tournament, I went to the church early in the morning to pray to God so that I would be alive when this was over, I can’t afford to die without seeing my unborn child… Christen would go hysterical if I were to die leaving her alone with the unborn baby. As I got into the church I saw the place was empty, so i went in front of the altar, knelt down and began to pray, but it didn’t take long before I got interrupted by Deborah.

    .

    Debbie ➡ Good morning Riley… I’m surprised to see you here..

    .

    Riley ➡ Yes.. Good morning..

    .

    Debbie ➡ Where’s Christen? Isn’t she here with you?

    .

    Riley ➡ No, she’s not.. She’s at home.. and that’s none of your business.

    .

    Debbie ➡ Oh, I didn’t mean to offend you, its just that she should be coming too.. She’s a Christian after all.. isn’t she?

    .

    Riley ➡ Look leave me alone.. I don’t have your time. (B*tch)

    .

    I ignored Debbie and continued praying, I was hoping she’d go away but instead she knelt down close to me and joined me in prayer, I wasn’t expecting this but if she wants to pray, I have no problem with that.

    About some minutes, I was finally done, just before I could get up, Debbie surprised me throwing her arms around me planting me with kisses.

    .

    Debbie ➡ Stay still lover, and enjoy the moment.

    .

    Riley ➡ (shocked) Debbie? Are you mad? This is a church! What has come over you? You have to stop this now..

    .

    Debbie ➡ Shush! Nobody is here, we have about an hour before the church session starts. Come on.. F-+-k me while there’s still time.

    .

    I couldn’t believe this.. Was this really happening? I gathered my strength and pushed her off me but she quickly grabbed hold of me putting her hands on my p+nis.

    .

    Riley ➡ Debbie! This is madness.. Stop this now.. I’m engaged to Christen.. I can’t cheat on her.

    .

    Debbie ➡ Why are you being so stubborn? Since she isn’t here, let’s do this and enjoy the moment, she doesn’t need to know, what happens here, stays between the two of us..

    .

    Riley ➡ NO!!! I won’t cheat on the mother of my unborn child, I’d rather get hit by a train than to f-+-k you.. God forbid. Let go of me or I’ll thrash you mercilessly.

    .

    Debbie wouldn’t listen, she was still trying to seduce me, her hands however were making my d+ck hard and erect, before I could give in to her temptations, I slapped her hard across the face and went out of the church.

    As I got outside, I entered my car and drove home back to Christen, but on my way there, I got a call from my mother asking me to drop by that she wanted to talk to me about something urgent.

    I diverted and drove to my mothers place,.. In about some minutes, I arrived at the house and went in to see what was it she wanted to talk to me about.. As soon as I got in, I saw something I was never hoping to see again.

    Here before me, stood the entire witch council together with the Supreme witch Orisaye herself… and behind them was my mother and my brother, they were tied and bounded on the floor like goats.

    Before I could make a move, someone hit me from behind knocking me out cold.. Moments later, I was awoken by a jolt of electric shock which surged through my entire body, I’ve never felt pain like this since Rose tortured me decades ago. I could barely think straight after that, I looked around to see where I was, Before I knew what was going on, I felt a deafening punch 👊 on the side of my face, It felt like I was hit by a train. Blood gathered in my mouth and I quickly spat it out, as I looked up again, I saw the council looking at me intently, my mother cried bitterly as she saw how I was treated and my brother shook his head in pity.

    .

    WC 1 ➡ So the human dog is finally awake.

    .

    Riley ➡ What do you want? Why are you doing this?

    .

    Immediately I asked that, one of the witch council members struck me with a bolt of lightening making me shout in pain, My mother begged for my sake but one of the witch made her mouth disappear making her to be mouth less.

    .

    WC 2 ➡ You dare ask this question? Aren’t you the dog that chose to cause an imbalance in the natural order? You dare plant your seed in the womb of one of our own kind? Do you have any idea the abomination you’re about to procreate?

    .

    Riley ➡ There is no abomination! You’re just making this up

    .

    Orisaye ➡ Silence! Enough of this. Tell me Riley… I appreciate your past endeavors but this is something I will not tolerate… Now tell me.. Where is Christen?

    .

    It was then I remembered what Aunt Jezebel told me.. The council was here to kill her and my unborn child… I felt relieved that they didn’t know her location, I just hope they don’t read my mind.

    .

    Orisaye ➡ Tell me.. Where is she?

    .

    Riley ➡ What are you going to do if I tell you where is she?

    .

    Orisaye ➡ She’s going to die of course.. We can’t allow her to give birth to that damned thing inside her.

    .

    Riley ➡ In that case.. Go f-+-k yourself because I won’t tell.

    .

    Orisaye ➡ Very well.

    .

    After that, Orisaye walked over to Lionel and severed his head, I watched in horror as his head rolled before me.. My mother grunted continuously struggling to break free, one of the witch council members slapped her hard across the face making her to fall down.

    .

    Riley ➡ Don’t you again touch her again.. I’ll kill you if you do…..

    .

    Orisaye ➡ Are you now ready to talk? Tell me where is CHRISTEN!? TELL ME! Tell me now or your mother dies next.

    .

    Riley ➡ Please don’t do this.. Please..

    .

    Orisaye ➡ Tell me where is she? WHERE IS SHE??

    .

    I cried profusely not knowing what to do.. I was in the same hot seat as I was decades ago when I was told to chose between Christen and my mother.. God knows I love my mother but Christen is carrying my child and she too has done a lot of me.. I just can’t let these bastards kill her and my child.. No way.. I’d rather die than to let that happen. The decision I’m about to make now would make others think I’m an ungrateful son, but I can’t give up Christen.. I’m never making that mistake ever again.

    .

    Orisaye ➡ Are you ready to tell me where she is?

    .

    Riley ➡ Yes.. She’s safe where you’ll never find her and I will not tell you..

    .

    Orisaye ➡ Fine.. Just know your mother’s blood is on your hands..

    .

    Orisaye walked over to my mom and set her blaze, I closed my eyes refusing to watch the horror before me.. I felt so angry that I wish I could kill all this council members.. After my mother was burnt to crisp.. The council members descended upon me.. They tortured me in ways unimaginable, they beat me up, electrocuted me with lightning bolts and cut up my fingers and toes.. The pain was unbearable, but this is a sacrifice I’m willing to take in order to protect my family.

    After they were done, Orisaye came before me and kicked me hard in my midsection making me groan in pain.

    .

    Orisaye ➡ Look at you! You’re a mess.. All this could have been avoided but you chose to be a stubborn fool.. All of this could end right now, just tell me where Christen is and you’re free to go.

    .

    I looked at her and spat on her face, She slapped me hard across the face and drew some kind of black mental from her hands, she covered it with some kind of electric current and stabbed it in my chest. I coughed out blood excessively as I felt the electric current surging through my intestines..

    .

    Riley ➡ Do whatever you want.. I’ll never tell you where Christen is.. You can torture me, beat me or stab me but I’ll never tell.. Do your worst.. Whether you like it or not.. There’s nothing you can do about this.

    .

    Orisaye ➡ Don’t be so sure.. Even if it takes a thousand years.. I’ll make sure she’s found and she’s going to taste the exact same thing you got.. Now.. You die.

    .

    Orisaye placed her hands by the side of my head, she whispered some kind of spell and then I felt my body going numb, before I knew what was happening, I was turned into dust.

    ……….

    All my life, I’ve always wondered how I would die, but I never for once thought that this was how I was going to die..

    Everything was dark and silent for a moment, then suddenly I began to see a ray of small light, gradually the light began to get bigger and bigger until the darkness was gone completely, I felt some kind of solace and peace, as if I was alive, I began to breath and feel the fresh air 💨.. In that moment, I thought I was in paradise, but then I heard my name been called, as I looked at the direction from where the sound came from, I saw a very beautiful lady staring at me.. I couldn’t see her face clearly because my vision was blurry, the lady called my name again and I felt her touch on my face, within that moment, my visions became clear and I was surprised to see that the beautiful lady was Christen, there was tears in her eyes, I looked at her wondering what the hell was going on.. Did the council get her as well?? Is she also dead? All these questions filled my head.

    .

    Riley ➡ Christen.. Where are we?.. Are we in paradise?

    .

    Rose ➡ (laughs cynically) Paradise!? Look at this one o… Just a short trip to the infinite limbo and you’re talking about paradise.. Wake up my friend.. You’re still in the real world.

    .

    Christen ➡ Rose!? Enough of this.

    .

    Riley ➡ Christen!! What’s going on? What are they talking about?..

    .

    Christen ➡ Relax baby.. I’ll explain it to you later..

    .

    I wasn’t even listening to what she was saying, I passed out a while after that, Later I woke up and found Christen sleeping next to me, I sat up slowly and looked around.. I was still in the bedroom and I wasn’t wearing the clothes I went to the church with, I was still in my pajamas. Aunt Jezebel appeared before me and unraveled everything that happened to me.

    .

    Aunt Jezebel ➡ Riley.. I’m sorry for the pain you had to go through, but I’m glad you’re okay.

    .

    Riley ➡ What is happening? Please tell me what is going on?

    .

    Jezebel ➡ I know you’re confused and I know you’ve experienced some unpleasant…

    .

    Riley ➡ TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON.!!

    .

    Jezebel ➡ Well you see.. Those things you’ve experienced were never real.. They’re illusions.. I casted a spell on you called the Infinite Limbo, this spell creates an imaginary world like the real one in the subconscious making one think that they’re actually living in the real world.. We had decided to surprise you with the tournament without you knowing and I must say.. That is impressive.

    .

    I was confused and quiet for a while processing all this… Do this bastards mean that all that pain I went through was a lie? An illusion? Besides what else was an illusion.

    .

    Riley ➡ So you’re saying even the part where I went to the church was an illusion?

    .

    Jezebel ➡ Absolutely.. You never left the house at all.

    .

    Riley ➡ Unbelievable… But why? Why this? Do you know how painful it was, to watch my brother and mother die before my very eyes? I don’t care who you are but you had no right messing with my mind like that.. It was unacceptable.

    .

    Jezebel ➡ I’m sorry and I won’t do that again..

    .

    Riley ➡ Does Christen know about what I saw?

    .

    Jezebel ➡ No.. In fact she was crying and worried when she saw how you were reacting to the spell.

    .

    Riley ➡ So what now?

    .

    Jezebel ➡ Now Christen is officially yours…

    .

    In that moment, Christen snuggled on the bed opening her eyes a little, Jezebel excused herself leaving Christen and I alone.. I laid on and kissed her stomach slowly, she smiled and rubbed my head affectionately. I reached out and kissed her lips sensually.

    .

    Christen ➡ Hi. ❤

    .

    Riley ➡ Hi.. You’re awake.

    .

    Christen ➡ Yes.. You look worried.. Is everything alright?

    .

    Riley ➡ Yes.. I’m just glad to see you.

    .

    Christen ➡ When you woke up, you looked surprised and what’s with the paradise question?

    .

    Riley ➡ It doesn’t matter.. What matters is that you’re safe and I’m here with you.

    .

    Christen ➡ Come here.. Let me cuddle you. I want to feel your warmth.

    .

    I crawled over to Christen and slept next to her hugging her tightly. I felt some kind of relief when I felt the warm skin of Christen around my arms. I cuddled her tightly pulling her close to me., she held my hand tightly putting it close to her belly.. Before long we slept peacefully enjoying the peaceful solace.

    Hours later in the evening, I woke up and decided to go out and get some fresh air, Christen woke up as well and suggested that I stay with her in bed.

    .

    Christen ➡ Come on baby.. This bed is empty without you..

    .

    Riley ➡ I know.. But I need to get some air.. I won’t be long.. Besides I’m going out to see Khalid.

    .

    Christen ➡ Okay.. Before you go, take my necklace with you.

    .

    Riley ➡ Come on.. I’m just going out, I won’t be long.

    .

    Christen ➡ Either you take it with you or you won’t leave this house at all.

    .

    Riley ➡Okay.. Give it to me.

    .

    Christen gave me the necklace 📿, after that I gave her a kiss and left the house.

    Minutes later, as I was walking on the street, I felt someone following me from behind, as I turned around I saw Monife standing behind me. I was startled when I saw her.

    .

    Riley ➡ Jesus Christ! You almost scared me to death.

    .

    Monife ➡ Whatever… We have a problem, Satania is on the move.. I know her location.

    .

    Riley ➡ Seriously? Come on let’s inform Rose and the others…

    .

    Monife ➡ There isn’t enough time.. Come let me show you the place..

    .

    Monife came close to me and grabbed my hands and within an instance she teleported us to Satania’s location, as soon as we got there, I saw the place was nothing but a cave, I looked around the place and saw we were in the middle of some thick dense forest.

    .

    Riley ➡ Where is she?.

    .

    Monife ➡ She’s inside the cave..

    .

    Riley ➡ Are you sure?

    .

    Monife ➡Would I lie? If you don’t believe me then.. fine.

    .

    I looked at her for a while and then proceeded towards the cave, as I got to the mouth of the cave, I felt a sharp blow behind my back, I fell into the cave groaning in pain, I could swear that my spine was cracked.. In that moment I saw Monife laughing cynically.. Then I realized something wasn’t right.

    .

    Riley ➡ What is the meaning of this?

    .

    Monife ➡ Betrayal!

    .

    Riley ➡ What?

    .

    Monife ➡ You heard me.. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to get rid of you and you have fallen into my trap.. This is where you die!

    .

    Riley ➡ Why are you doing this?

    .

    Monife ➡ Why? I think you know why.. You ruined my chance at Christen when you planted your damned seed in her and now it’s growing.. You’ve finally bonded with her and that’s what pisses me off.. If I can’t have her, then nobody will and that includes you.

    .

    I felt so angry, I stood up and rushed towards her, I punched her hard but my punch had no effect on her, she laughed and kicked me hard making me fall, immediately I was on the ground, she rushed and grabbed me rising me high up with both her hands and brought me down with all her might onto her knee.

    CRACK!!!!!

    I shouted in pain as I felt my spine snap in half, I couldn’t feel my legs at all., as I laid on the ground groaning in pain, I remembered the necklace 📿 in my pocket, before I could reach for it.. Monife matched my arm and took out the necklace.

    .

    Monife ➡ Trying to escape I see?.. Well that won’t be happening.

    .

    She rolled her arm and threw the necklace so far away, so that I won’t be able to find it. After that, she grabbed both my arm joints and broke it. The pain was so immense, I couldn’t even feel my body anymore. Monife laughed and stood over me.

    .

    Monife ➡ Now! You’re completely immobilized, there’s no way for you to go, and there’s no one to help you.. This is where you will die and rot.. Don’t worry.. Christen won’t be alone and I’ll be sure to take care of your child.. (Laughs) Enjoy your last days in this cave.

    .

    After that Monife disappeared leaving me in a state of shock, i couldn’t even think straight!.. All I could do was shout in agony feeling bitterness in my heart..

    Monife is now working with Satania and if I’m guessing right, she’s going to use my identity and sabotage my relationship with Christen and her relatives.. I need to find a way out of here but how?

    .

    Written By Amah’s Heart

    “Over there is the pool, as you can see is clean because I pay the pool guy to make sure it remains tidied both when I’m around or away…”

    “Yes sir..” I replied again that’s has been virtually my whole reply as he took me around.

    “You’re not allowed close to my private corners, my pool, my gym, my study or my relaxing place, except you’re asked to clean or you see the need to tidy it up. Do you understand..?

    “Yes sir..”

    “Is a good thing I have a chef, I don’t need you to cook, your only work is to work wherever you’re needed. If you’re called to laundry, you’ve to do it well like your life depends on it. If you’re asked to sweep or clean, make sure you put your best to work. I håte idleness and låzïness, stick to your job and I don’t want to complain over anything not being done right. Do you understand?

    “Yes sir…”

    “Is not just repeating yes sir to my orders, I want you to ask questions wherever you do not understand, tell me anything that’s confusing, point out something I haven’t introduced or mentioned to you, remind me whatever I missed out, stop following me like a slave and chorusing yes sir to everything…”

    “… you’re not my servant, you’re my worker and I’m your boss. This is not a military regime or a directorship. Feel free to ask questions wherever you’re confused. I’m available from now to six more months. I will be off and on to my family house within this period but that shouldn’t stop you in carrying out your duty effectively…”

    “Yes sir..” I said absent minded.

    He turned and looked at me with a frown

    “…no sir, i mean I understand everything you said and will definitely ask if the needs arises. Ms Nneka already put me through some of this things” I replied.

    “Good. That will be all then. since you don’t have anything doing this evening you can go to the kitchen and ask chef Sylvester for your food after which you’re free to return to your room..”

    “Thank you sir..I appreciate” I replied before turning to leave, be called me back.

    “Hey you! Aka… Make sure all the dishes are washed, cleaned and put away before you go to bed. Sylvester will also help out in that area but you’re equally his kitchen assistance and remember your work is generally everywhere. If you don’t have idea and what a maid does you are free to ask Nneka or read up on it. there’s a small TV in the boysquatter sitting room, you are free to watch in your leisure time..”

    “Sure sir, thank you…”

    “Sylvester,  Nneka the housekeeper and Duke the gate man said you’re doing well. I didn’t get any negative news about you after I return, no complain at all and that’s a relief and I hope you keep it up that way..”

    “,I will. Thank you sir..”

    He shakes his head “must all your replies be yes sir, I will sir, sure sir, you sir, okay sir.. sir…sir..sir huh? 

    I kept mute

    “.. don’t get me wrong, I’m very okay with your sir whatever but I also want you to know that sometimes, you can reply me with my general name. Mr law is the name some of my workers call me. Is that clear..”?

    “Yes sir. I mean law, Mr law..” I stammered, cónfused on which to use

    He chuckled, waved me off to leave, I quickly did.

    After I was done with my entire job for that evening, I went to my room

    My room is very comfortable, it has an in-built tøilet and a bathroom.

    There’s a big wardrobe space for me, my bed is a student size bed with two comfortable pillows.

    It feel like a home for me, even though I know I’m only a worker here.

    I haven’t had such a luxury and I’m almost at my third month in this house, I’m enjoying my job.

    After I called Mr Law, last two months, he sent address and asked me to resume right away and without wasting time I hurried to the address.

    He didn’t have time to take me round or introduce anything to me, he told me he was traveling again and will do proper introduction when he returns but Nneka will show me around.

    He travelled again after a week and said he wasn’t going to stay long

     he stayed for two months before coming back.

    While he was away, there wasn’t much to do and there was no need for extra expenses because almost everything was provided 

    The other workers were very nice and friendly, we all related well and each person has a room in the quarters, which was beside the main building.

    Nneka who’s in her late thirties and told me that Mr Law is very easy to work with, I shouldn’t be scâréd of his behavior or domeneering attitude.

    If I can obey his orders and do everything he ask me to, then I won’t have any prøblem with him.

    She also mentioned that Mr Law is not very familiar with the country because he lives most of his life outside and his family are still outside while some are in Nigeria.

    One of his parents, either his Mom or father is living in the country and he always go visiting.

    Nneka said she was the first employer after Mr Law bought his house last year but the only issue is that he’s hardly around.

    I was elated, so free and happy in my new home and job.

    I don’t even have much to do, I sometimes spend alot of time watching television.

    I wasn’t expecting any payment but after the first month, I was given twenty thousand.

    I couldn’t believe it because it felt like twenty million.

    I didn’t even do much yet I was paid

    Nneka said, Mr Law asked her to give me twenty thousand and on his return, my salary will be normalize, which means there maybe more.

    I hugged Ms Nneka, thanking her repeatedly.

    She was just laughing at my excitement

    I decided to follow Nneka to the market one day, I purchased about six different academic book

    I bought some novels too because I love reading.

    I got few new cloths and foot wear.

    I stopped by the barber to trim my hair, to make it very low and neat.

    Somebody took my phone charger back at Uche’s place before I came to work for Mr Law, I couldn’t charge my phone or get pin charger for it, I was still talking about getting a charger when the phone fell off from my pocket while I was climbing the stairs one day, during my first week at work, to go clean Mr Law’s balcony

    That was how the phone smáshed.

    Everything scattered, even the Sim card went missing.

    I didn’t even fright, I packed it and trashed.

    The only number I have in my head is Mama Zaram

    I speak with her with Nneka or Sylvester’s phone.

    I updated her about my God given job and how excited I was.

    She was equally happy for me and wish me the best.

    After Mr Law returned, which was after two months, he informed me that my salary will be thirty thousand naira and I will have to create a bank account for it.

    I almost scréämed, it was too much.

    Maybe he just want to help me because the work I do is not even upto ten thousand a month, yet he feed me, takes care of toiletries and I have a very comfortable place to sleep,

    A whole room to myself.

    He paid me twenty thousand naira for two months and said that since he’s back, he will start paying me my real salary.

    I didn’t expect this kind of miracle, I felt like the luckiest girl alive.

    This is my third month, it’s still feel like a miracle.

    I’m saving and also studying in my free time.

    My life is getting back to normal and this kind of opportunity can only come from God.

    As I lay, facing the ceiling in my room with my belly filled with food and my heart filled with gratitude.

    I have an unfinished novel beside my bed.

    I’m not yet in the mood for tonight’s reading, I just want to reminiscing over my past life and thank God for his many kindness.

    It may seem early to others but I’m counting my blessings as each day comes by and hoping nothing goes wrøng.

    Stanley has finally found his missing rib, he can’t contained the joy he is feeling deep within  right now. He was all smiling and laughing out loud at every moment he flash back to the day he saw her and how they met at the mall and now, the reception hall is all amazing. 

    “Hmmm…..How God works” He thought while smiling

    At last he could not miss having her contact this time, what a relief he said.

     Promise on the other hand could not stop to tease his friend, though happy for him but he enjoys looking for his trouble as well.  

    “Guy, you haven’t told me how it went with you and Jane. 

    As they jounrned back home, Jane became the talk of the day but Stanley was not ready to say anything to promise, only if he can fly back home…he needs to hear her voice one more time he wished silently.

    “Promise please speed up this car is  suffocating…”

    “Ah, bros

     chill…what’s up with you? You have met your Jane so what’s annoying you again…don’t tell me you are doing this because you don’t want me to ask how it go with Jane…”

    “…the way you went after her was wow! I never thought of you going to the extent of searching for her”

    Stanley kept mute, he doesn’t want to say anything yet until she agrees to his proposal. He doesn’t want a delay any more, he just want to  have her  himself. He wished somany things to happen between them but first he needs to take one at a step.

    Immediately he reached home he kept mute still thinking on when to call her 

    “Will she be free now? It’s 8pm already….maybe I should let her rest today then I’ll call her tomorrow hopefully she will give me a listening ear. I couldn’t say my mind to her because we needed to know each other and I want her to be freely with me. I want to make her my friend, my best friend at that!”

    “Yes! God help me, I don’t want to rush her now…”

    He said and fell asleep smiling

    After the reception Jane had to accompany her friend to her new home but decided to be with her mother. She has this confused facial expression that her mother was easy to see it clearly from her daughter.

    Her mother has been with her and can tell when her child is not herself so she called her attention to ask what could be the problem this time.

    “My dear, I observed you during the reception today, You looked worried at some point in the reception, tell me did anything happened? Is there something bothering you….I’m here for you at my love” the mother assures her.

    Jane took a deep breath before telling her Mom about Stanley.

    She can’t stop thinking about him and each thought of him makes her smile.

    Her Mom said Stanley maybe the answer prayer, the man they have been praying for.

    Jane couldn’t conclude on that yet but she silently hope Stanley will be the man.

    He seems to possess the qualities he wants in a man.

    Jane knelt down and prayed that night for herself, for her newly married friend and even for Stanley

    She wanted more revelation on him.

    The next day, she spoke with Stanley extensively

    He even asked her on a date and she agreed.

    Jane and Stanley were so connected that they couldn’t do without speaking to each other.

    After telling promise about Jane, he was so happy

    Promise told Stanley to marry Jane right away without wasting time before another person will over take him

    Stanley laughed at his friends advice.

    He knew promise was right

    He has fallen over hill in love with Jane and couldn’t live without her.

    Stanley didn’t want to take any chance again.

    He organised a surprise proposal within Jane friends and his own.

    Jane was surprise at the unexpected surprise proposal.

    She was so happy

    They began to plan their wedding and a date was fixed in no time.

    Jane’s mother was so happy for her and reminded her that God remains faithful.

    Jane wed Stanley just after four months of meeting each other.

    It was not very elaborate

    Just with family and friends and few invited guest.

    Stanley and Jane were married and Stanley who already knew that Jane is the woman for him couldn’t let go of her even during the reception.

    Promise came to tease him but he only laugh.

    He was a happy man again

    Even if the road becomes rough, he was happy to have Jane by him side.

    Jane completes him in every way and she was everything he ever prayed and wish for.

    Jane was happy that she settled with God’s choice for her

    Despite the delay, she was at peace and fillfiled waiting for God to perfect all that concerns her and he did.

    Stanley is a prayer answered for her.

    Great Evil

    Written by Sadiq Infinity

    (RILEY)

    Some say marriage 💍 or having a child is the best thing that could ever happen to a man but still not every man can handle the pressure and consequences that comes with it. The moment I found out Christen was pregnant, I knew I was in for a long bumpy ride and because of that there are two things I needed the most which were tolerance and patience. Women to be honest are troublesome and nerve wrecking creatures and one has to be both tolerant and patience with them, being with an ordinary woman is trouble enough but a witch that’s a whole different level.

    Ever since she announced she was pregnant, Christen has been given me a hard time, she was bossy, pushy and and worst of all arrogant.. Though the baby bump hasn’t yet shown Christen insisted on enjoying herself and relaxing, what surprised me was instead of getting chubbier or having signs of pregnancy like other women do, she gets more younger, lovelier, and attractive everyday plus her body gets more and more seductive and luscious whenever I see her, I was hoping to get laid with her but Christen never allows me to make love to her, I could kiss and touch but when it comes to sex, that’s a no entry zone. I tolerated all this and endured her bullshit.

    As if that wasn’t enough, Christen started getting a little bit disturbing, a week after I found out she was expecting, She insisted that I leave my house and come to hers and stay, she claimed that she was defenseless and needed a man to protect her and the baby.. I knew she was just messing with me cause she could handle a regiment of soldiers without breaking a sweat.. So eventually, I moved in to her house but that wasn’t enough, Clinging on to her pregnancy, she made me do the entire house work, I would sweep, clean, and wash, Hell in the end, I became a house boy,.. Even when we went to shop for yoghurt milks and honey jars in supermarkets, I was left to carry everything , but despite all that, she still gave me my respect as a Fiancee.

    But the real drama starts whenever we both sleep together in bed, sometimes in the middle of the night around 1:00 am, Christen would wake me up and tell me that she was hungry and in need of food.

    .

    Christen ➡ Honey… Wake up!

    .

    Riley ➡ Huh??? What’s wrong?

    .

    Christen ➡ I’m hungry…

    .

    Riley ➡ Now? But you just drank 5 bottles of milk and 2 jars of honey..

    .

    Christen ➡ I’m still hungry, besides you know I’m eating for two now..

    .

    Riley ➡ Okay.. What do you want?

    .

    Christen ➡ Milk.

    .

    Riley ➡ Okay.. Let me go get it for you.

    .

    I left the bed staggering with sleep in my eyes as I walked to the kitchen, as soon as I got there, I opened the fridge and brought out the chilled L and Z milk and then I took a cup and went back to the bedroom.

    As soon as I got in, I got the surprise of my life, just as I was about to serve Christen the milk, I saw her frowning and mumbling.

    .

    Riley ➡ What’s wrong?.. Don’t you like the milk again?

    .

    Christen ➡ No.. It’s just that I don’t want this one.. I want the ones that the fulani women used to sell.

    .

    Riley ➡ You mean *Fura and nono*

    .

    Christen ➡ Yes. I want that.. Out and get it for me..

    .

    I stood bewildered and shocked… Was this b*tch for real?…. How does she expect me to find those fulani women not to talk of even the milk drink itself.

    .

    Riley ➡ Are you really serious right now? It’s 1:00 am.. WHERE IN THE WORLD DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GET FURA DA NONO?

    .

    Christen ➡ Are you raising your voice at me?

    .

    Riley ➡ I’m sorry.. Please Christen.. Try to understand.. I can’t find that drink tonight.. Why don’t you leave tomorrow morning huh?

    .

    Christen ➡ No. I want it now..

    .

    I knew she wouldn’t change her mind so I took my car keys and left the house that night in search for those fulani milk drinks.. I drove through the streets of Ibadan hoping to see at least one fulani milk maid but there was none, I was even annoyed by all this.. Christen is a witch, she could just get it easily without bothering me… God I just hope she stops all this wahala of hers. In that moment, I decided to call Khalid to see if he knew where I could get the fulani yoghurt.

    .

    Riley ➡ Hello Khalid.

    .

    Khalid ➡ Riley.. You dey craze.. Can’t you see your call just interrupted an intimate moment?

    .

    Riley ➡ Sorry o..please I’m in need of your help, do you know where I can find FURA DA NONO?

    .

    Khalid ➡ By this time of the night??? Ogbeni.. Are you sure you’re okay?

    .

    Riley ➡ Look, it’s for Christen.. She’s pregnant.

    .

    Khalid ➡ Wow! Man i feel for you.. You’re going through one of those stages of a man’s life.. Hang on friend.. You’ll definitely scale through. (Laughs) 😂😂😂.

    .

    Riley ➡ 😒 Are you done laughing?

    .

    Khalid ➡ Sorry man.. But seriously congratulations… I think I can help you with your problem, why don’t you come over to my place, I have a gallon of the stuff with me..

    ..

    Riley ➡ Thanks I’ll be right over.

    .

    Moments later, I arrived at Khalid’s place and got some of the stuff, I thanked him and drove back home, as soon as I got there and parked the car, I rushed into the house and straight to the bedroom, where I saw Christen drink the L and Z milk yoghurt.

    .

    Riley ➡ Darling.. I’ve got it.

    .

    Christen ➡ Ehn… You’re late..

    .

    Riley ➡ Of course I am.. I’ve been looking for fulani yoghurt all night. But I’ve finally gotten it.. It’s nice and cold.

    .

    Christen ➡ Well, you should drink it.. I’m full.. Good night love.

    .

    Christen went to sleep leaving me standing in shock… God! Why do women have to be so messed up? Why can’t they make up their minds?, after that I went back to the kitchen and put the drink in the fridge and then went back to sleep in the bedroom.

    This was just tip of the iceberg there are some nights when things get a little bit intense like for instance, There was this time I slept closely next to Christen wrapping my arms around her, then suddenly Christen would then unconsciously bite my arm hard… I got so scared when she did that especially when I saw her fangs.. I never knew she had fangs until now.. For many nights, this weird habit of hers has been going on until on this particular night she did something I just couldn’t handle. I was sleeping 😪 with my back turned towards her, Christen then subconsciously, reached out and sniff my shoulder after that, She bit me so hard her fangs dug deep into my flesh, I shouted out in pain and got away from her.. Christen then suddenly woke up and asked what happened, when she saw my bleeding shoulder and sensed the blood in her mouth, she freaked out.

    .

    Christen ➡ NO! NO! NO! NO!.. THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING.

    .

    Riley ➡ Darling.. Relax..

    .

    Christen ➡ How can you say that? I just bit you deep.. Does it hurt?

    .

    Riley ➡ No I’m fine.. I’m used to it..

    .

    Christen ➡ Used to it?….

    .

    Riley ➡ Look it doesn’t matter…

    .

    Christen ➡ Hold on… This isn’t the first time I’m doing this right?… How could you keep this from me? Do you know how serious this is? I could have killed you.

    .

    Riley ➡ Well, you haven’t.. It’s alright.

    .

    Christen ➡ No, its not.. I can’t stay here.

    .

    Riley ➡ Christen wait…..

    .

    Before I could stop her, she teleported out of the room, I was worried after that… Where could she have possibly gone this night.. I searched the house to see If she was hiding in one of the room, I even summoned Solomon to tell me where she was but even he couldn’t sense her presence.. I sat on the edge on the bed after that thinking about the worries look on her face.. I just hope she isn’t going to do anything crazy.. In that moment, I figured out an ides on how to find Christen, I took the car keys locked the house and drove to the gathering place of the supernatural beings to see if I could find Esther there, as soon as I got there, I saw the place crowded, and a party was going on, After parking my car, I went into the place and started looking for Esther, As I went around the place, I noticed all eyes were on me, Then suddenly I was startled by jenny.

    .

    Riley ➡ Jesus Christ! Jenny?

    .

    Jenny ➡ Riley!? It’s been a while… How’ve you been?.

    .

    Riley ➡ I’m fine.. How about you?

    .

    Jenny ➡ It’s been great.. Hmm, you look worried.. Is something wrong?

    .

    Riley ➡ I’m looking for Esther, have you seen her?

    .

    Jenny ➡ No… She’s hasn’t been coming to this place lately.

    .

    Riley ➡ D–n!

    .

    Jenny ➡ What’s wrong?

    .

    Riley ➡ I’m looking for Christen.. I wanted to see Esther and ask her if she knew where is she?

    .

    Jenny ➡ Is Christen alright?

    .

    Riley ➡ Yeah.. She just disappeared, that’s all.

    .

    Jenny ➡ Don’t worry.. Let me see what I can do.

    .

    Before I knew what was happening, Jenny called for the attention for everyone in the place and told them about the situation.

    .

    Jenny ➡ Listen up guys… Riley here is looking for Christen.. We need to help him find her.

    .

    Ghoul ➡ And why should we do that?

    .

    Jenny ➡ Because if anything happens to her, You all know what Rose will do to us..

    .

    Everyone kept quiet after that! They looked at each other as if they had heard a death sentence.

    .

    Witch ➡ But we’re not responsible for her disappearance..

    .

    Ghoul ➡ Yes

    .

    Mermaid ➡ It’s not fair.. She can’t harm us for something we didn’t do.

    .

    Riley ➡ Look everyone please.. I’m begging you to help me find her…

    .

    Monife ➡ Why should we?

    .

    I quickly turned to the direction from where the voice came from and saw it was Monife, she was sitting down having a cup of human blood.

    .

    Riley ➡ What did you just say?

    .

    Monife ➡ I said why should we? After all, you’re her fiance, her lover, her man.. You should have control over her and know her every move. Maybe she’s not gone, maybe there’s something you did to her.

    .

    Ghoul ➡ What are you talking about?

    .

    Monife ➡ What I’m saying is.. He’s a human and you all know humans are deceptive.. Maybe she isn’t gone, cause I know her, she wouldn’t leave your side for a second, I think there’s something you did to her.

    .

    Riley ➡ Are you saying I’m responsible for her disappearance?

    .

    Monife ➡ Of course.

    .

    The moment she said that, everyone turned around and stared at me suspiciously, then they began to mumble.. I knew what Monife was planning but how could I talk my way out and convince this horrific beings otherwise, but then suddenly Jenny took a a stand for me.

    .

    Jenny ➡ Alright, that’s enough! This is nothing but nonsense.. Monife.. You’re nothing but a trouble maker… Do you really think Riley can hurt christen? He can’t… Though he’s human but I can vouch for him.. Besides he’s not stupid enough to do anything to Christen cause he knows what will follow next.

    .

    Monife ➡ Shut your mouth, mammy water b*tch… You know nothing of this sniveling human. He’s not to be trusted.

    .

    Just as Monife and Jenny were about to start throwing harsh words at each other, we all heard a loud cynical laugh and a agonizing shout of pain, shortly after that, Rose and her friends came into the place dragging a man behind them, both of the man’s arms was torn apart and his mid-section was bleeding out immensely, as the poor soul kept shouting, Rose walked over to the man’s head and punched through his face, her hands came out from behind his head, she pulled out her hands and brought out his skull together with his brains.. She then threw it towards the direction of the ghouls and they all gathered around it like flies around a dustbin. In that moment, she saw me and was surprised by my presence.

    .

    Rose ➡ Riley!? What are you doing here?

    .

    Riley ➡ Hi, Rose.. I’m here to get some help.

    .

    Rose ➡ What for?

    .

    Monife ➡ Christen is missing and it’s his fault..

    .

    I was shocked when Monife said that before I could say anything, Rose smacked me hard across the face making me fly across the room, I fell down hard on the ground moaning in pain.. God.. This b*tch get power.

    Everyone stood still watching helpless as Rose made her way towards me.. She came over me and stomped my chest hard pressing her foot harder, I could feel the cracking sound of my ribs as Rose added more pressure to her footing.

    .

    Riley ➡ Rose! (gasp) hold on.. Monife is lying.. Let. Me. explain.

    .

    Rose ➡ Explain? What did you do to my sister?

    .

    Riley ➡ Nothing.. She just left the house all of a sudden..

    .

    Rose ➡ Just left that? Why?

    .

    Riley ➡ I don’t know.. That’s why I came here to look for her.

    .

    Rose ➡ Did you do anything to make her leave the house?

    .

    Riley ➡ No. I didn’t… Ahhhh (moans in pain)

    .

    Rose ➡ I don’t buy it.. Why are you then so worried that she left the house? Huh? Tell me..

    .

    Rose pressed her leg harder on my chest almost bursting through my ribs… I didn’t want to tell her why I was worried but if I don’t, she might end up killing me.

    .

    Riley ➡ I was worried because she’s…

    .

    Rose ➡ She’s what? Tell me!!!

    .

    Riley ➡ Because she’s pregnant!

    .

    Rose ➡ WHAT???

    .

    Everyone was surprised when I said that… Rose quickly got her foot off my chest and stared at me in astonishment.. I almost laughed when I saw the look on Monife’s face, she certainly wasn’t happy about this.. Rose then raised me up and dusted me, she apologized for everything but I wasn’t going to accept her apology instead I gave her exactly what she gave me.

    KAPOOW!!!!!

    Everyone gasped in shock when I slapped Rose, even she was taken aback but she didn’t flinch… I really felt good when I slapped her, I’ve been waiting a long time to do this.. She can’t just be beating people anyhow unreasonably, in that moment, I became a legend.

    .

    Rose ➡ You b*stard! Do you have any idea what you’ve done?

    .

    Riley ➡ Yeah, and I must say.. It felt good.. You had it coming..

    .

    Rose ➡ Do you think you can just embarrass me like that and walk away Scott free?

    .

    Riley ➡ Well, if you had listened to me first, this wouldn’t have happened.. You should focus your anger on Monife, she’s the architect of all this.

    .

    Rose smiled after that and then went over to Monife, when she saw Rose was coming, she attempted to run but she wasn’t fast enough, Rose grabbed hold of her with her shadow magic tangling her in it, as soon as she got close, She gave Monife such a beating that even the devil would feel sorry for her, the terrifying sound of Rose’s punch on Monife’s body made everyone trembled with fear, as soon as she was done with her, Monife’s face was covered in blood and bruised, she was then thrown out like a cockroach.

    Satisfied with her brutality, Rose approached me and gave me a hug.

    .

    Rose ➡ Congratulations.. I’m sorry I did that to you and I’m going to let you go for that slap but next time you do that again… I will be dining on your corpse.

    .

    Riley ➡ Fair enough..

    .

    Rose ➡ Since when was she pregnant?

    .

    Riley ➡ Weeks ago.

    .

    Rose ➡ What? And you didn’t tell me?

    .

    Riley ➡ We didn’t tell anybody, we wanted to wait for the right time to announce it.

    .

    Rose ➡ I still can’t believe it… Aunt Jezebel was right.. You had to impregnate her even before she became your wife.

    .

    Riley ➡ That’s none of your business.. Can we go look for her now?

    .

    After that, Rose ordered everyone to leave the place and join hands with us in looking for Christen.. That night, Ibadan was swarming with agents of dark forces, the ghouls blended in the shadows, the witches soared the skies, and the mermaids swam through the rivers around Ibadan, I on the other hand rode in my car together with Rose and a friend of hers.. We rode all over Ibadan looking for Christen but still there was no sign of her, we then decided to drive to Oyo and check the place, as we were driving there, we all began to converse.

    ..

    Rose ➡ So have you thought of the name of your unborn child?

    .

    Riley ➡ Yes.. But it’s a secret.. I won’t tell you.

    .

    Rose ➡ I see.. How did you feel when she told you she was expecting?

    .

    Riley ➡ I was surprised at first.. But I’m happy.

    .

    Rose ➡ Aren’t you worried that your life wouldn’t be the same?

    .

    Riley ➡ No.. As a matter of fact, my life has been the same since I met Christen. Why are you asking me all this?

    .

    Rose ➡ Because I’ve seen how deceptive you humans are, I’ve spent centuries in this world and I’ve seen a lot.. I want to make sure my sister gets a better life.. I don’t want her to make the like our mom.

    .

    Riley ➡ But she didn’t marry a human.

    .

    Rose ➡ yes but she was killed by one..

    .

    Riley ➡ Look, I love Christen and I’ll do anything to make her happy.. I don’t know what the future holds but I’ll do my best to make our marriage work..

    .

    Rose ➡ You’re so full of positivity.. I like that… But I’ll be on the sidelines to watch you both.

    .

    Riley ➡ So when are you getting married?

    .

    Rose ➡ Not yet. I’m not ready for that.

    .

    Riley ➡ My brother Lionel is still around, I know he has a girlfriend but I can make arrangements for you two to meet.

    .

    Rose ➡ Your brother? The one I tried to kill.. (Laughs) you can’t be serious.

    .

    Riley ➡ I am.

    .

    Rose ➡ No.. Don’t even bother.. I’d still kill him if I get the chance.. Your brother is quite a nourishment.

    .

    Riley ➡ I can’t believe you..

    .

    In that moment, our conversation was interrupted when we were halted by the police standing at the road side, I stopped the car and they came close to us flashing touch lights at us.

    .

    Riley ➡ Officers.. How can we help you?

    .

    Police man 1 ➡ Wetin you dey do by the time of the night?

    .

    Riley ➡ Going to my house of course.

    .

    Police man 2 ➡ Who be this oloshos wey you carry for your car?

    .

    Riley ➡ This is my sister in law and her friend.

    .

    Police man 1 ➡ Ehn.. Make I see your driving license

    .

    Rose ➡ Officer, you’re wasting our time.. Let us pass now.

    .

    Riley ➡ Relax Rose.

    .

    Police man 1 ➡ Wetin you say.

    .

    Rose ➡ I said let us pass..

    .

    Police man 2 ➡ I know trust this olosho, oya make una come down, COME DOWN!

    .

    Nancy ➡ Are they for real?

    .

    Rose ➡ They are.

    .

    Riley ➡ Please ladies.. Don’t do anything funny.

    .

    Police man 1 ➡ Oga, you dey hear so? I say come down..

    .

    We all came down from the car and started to search us but Rose wouldn’t let them touch her.

    .

    Rose ➡ Don’t you dare touch me, you pig.

    .

    Police man 1 ➡ You dey crazy ni? Come make I search you.

    .

    Rose ➡ Over my dead body.. I don’t let second rate beings touch my magnificent body.

    .

    Riley ➡ Rose just let them search you.

    .

    In that moment the other police man came behind Rose and gave her a dirty slap, I knew their lives were forfeit in that moment, as they were busy shouting at her, Rose bare out her nails, grabbed on of the policemen and tore out his throat with ease.. The other one couldn’t even wait, he ran a few pace backwards and aimed his gun at us before he could fire the gun, Rose’s friend got in front of him and dug her right hand in between his chest, pulling out his heart.

    All I could do was watch and shake my head in pity.. Police men and their wahala, now look at what they’ve caused for themselves, besides what were they doing by this time of the night?

    After that, we got into the car and continued our ride to Oyo, after hours of frantic search, Christen was no where to be found, we finally rode back to Ibadan and converged at the hangout. Even there others that helped us search for Christen said she was nowhere to be found.

    .

    Rose ➡ Are you sure she’s not here in Ibadan?

    .

    Jenny ➡ We’ve searched everywhere but she’s nowhere to be found.

    .

    Rose ➡ Well, I bet she’s back at home in our world.. Riley you go home and rest.

    .

    Riley ➡ Okay.. Please if you find her.. Let me know.

    .

    Rose ➡ Don’t worry.

    .

    I left the place and rode back home, as soon as I got there, I parked the car and sat on the hood, staring at stars in the sky,.. In that moment, I saw something that made me almost take off.. It was that same little girl with the black cat 🐈, she stood close to the forest and stared at me.

    I stood and stared at her as well, just what was she doing here? Is she after me? All this questions filled my mind.

    .

    Riley ➡ Why are you following me? Who sent you?

    .

    The girl stared at me giving me a direct look, the little devil looked so much like Christen in facial appearance.. Even when I asked her, she kept quiet and stared at me, then suddenly, she held out something in her hands showing it to me.. It was the same necklace 📿 as Christen’s, I brought out mine holding it in my hands, after that, she pointed at the necklace and then pointed towards the direction of the forest.. I didn’t understand, so I asked her what she meant.. She frowned a little and then put back the necklace, she then began to make gestures with her fingers as if she was writing something on air, in that moment, Some whitish ray of light showed at the place where she wrote and i saw what she had written.

    *She’s in her favorite place*

    After that, The girl, the cat, and the writing vanished like thin air… I began to think about what the girl wrote and then i figured it out… I ran as fast as I could into the forest, heading straight to the iroko tree, Why didn’t I think of it sooner? The Iroko tree was the one place that I forgot to check and it was the place Christen loves to hang out.

    Minutes later as I arrived at the place, I looked around the place but I couldn’t find her, as I looked up at the tree branches, I saw her high up standing on one of the branches.. I felt relieved when I saw her, she wasn’t even sleeping, she was just sitting down staring onto the view.

    .

    Riley ➡ Christen!!!

    .

    I called out to her but she didn’t answer, I called out to her again but she still didn’t answer, when I called for the third time, she looked down and stares at me, she still didn’t say anything.

    .

    Riley ➡ Okay.. If you won’t answer me, I’m climbing up.

    .

    But before I could do that, thorns began to pop out of the tree and before long the whole tree was covered in thorns except where Christen sat.. I stared at the horns and wondered why she was behaving like this.. Well if she thinks that’s going to stop me.. She’s going. I prayed silently in my mind and began to climb the tree.

    Witches Lust 2-Episode  53 & 54

    Great Evil

    Written by Sadiq Infinity

    (RILEY)

    Some say marriage 💍 or having a child is the best thing that could ever happen to a man but still not every man can handle the pressure and consequences that comes with it. The moment I found out Christen was pregnant, I knew I was in for a long bumpy ride and because of that there are two things I needed the most which were tolerance and patience. Women to be honest are troublesome and nerve wrecking creatures and one has to be both tolerant and patience with them, being with an ordinary woman is trouble enough but a witch that’s a whole different level.

    Ever since she announced she was pregnant, Christen has been given me a hard time, she was bossy, pushy and and worst of all arrogant.. Though the baby bump hasn’t yet shown Christen insisted on enjoying herself and relaxing, what surprised me was instead of getting chubbier or having signs of pregnancy like other women do, she gets more younger, lovelier, and attractive everyday plus her body gets more and more seductive and luscious whenever I see her, I was hoping to get laid with her but Christen never allows me to make love to her, I could kiss and touch but when it comes to sex, that’s a no entry zone. I tolerated all this and endured her bullshit.

    As if that wasn’t enough, Christen started getting a little bit disturbing, a week after I found out she was expecting, She insisted that I leave my house and come to hers and stay, she claimed that she was defenseless and needed a man to protect her and the baby.. I knew she was just messing with me cause she could handle a regiment of soldiers without breaking a sweat.. So eventually, I moved in to her house but that wasn’t enough, Clinging on to her pregnancy, she made me do the entire house work, I would sweep, clean, and wash, Hell in the end, I became a house boy,.. Even when we went to shop for yoghurt milks and honey jars in supermarkets, I was left to carry everything , but despite all that, she still gave me my respect as a Fiancee.

    But the real drama starts whenever we both sleep together in bed, sometimes in the middle of the night around 1:00 am, Christen would wake me up and tell me that she was hungry and in need of food.

    .

    Christen ➡ Honey… Wake up!

    .

    Riley ➡ Huh??? What’s wrong?

    .

    Christen ➡ I’m hungry…

    .

    Riley ➡ Now? But you just drank 5 bottles of milk and 2 jars of honey..

    .

    Christen ➡ I’m still hungry, besides you know I’m eating for two now..

    .

    Riley ➡ Okay.. What do you want?

    .

    Christen ➡ Milk.

    .

    Riley ➡ Okay.. Let me go get it for you.

    .

    I left the bed staggering with sleep in my eyes as I walked to the kitchen, as soon as I got there, I opened the fridge and brought out the chilled L and Z milk and then I took a cup and went back to the bedroom.

    As soon as I got in, I got the surprise of my life, just as I was about to serve Christen the milk, I saw her frowning and mumbling.

    .

    Riley ➡ What’s wrong?.. Don’t you like the milk again?

    .

    Christen ➡ No.. It’s just that I don’t want this one.. I want the ones that the fulani women used to sell.

    .

    Riley ➡ You mean *Fura and nono*

    .

    Christen ➡ Yes. I want that.. Out and get it for me..

    .

    I stood bewildered and shocked… Was this b*tch for real?…. How does she expect me to find those fulani women not to talk of even the milk drink itself.

    .

    Riley ➡ Are you really serious right now? It’s 1:00 am.. WHERE IN THE WORLD DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GET FURA DA NONO?

    .

    Christen ➡ Are you raising your voice at me?

    .

    Riley ➡ I’m sorry.. Please Christen.. Try to understand.. I can’t find that drink tonight.. Why don’t you leave tomorrow morning huh?

    .

    Christen ➡ No. I want it now..

    .

    I knew she wouldn’t change her mind so I took my car keys and left the house that night in search for those fulani milk drinks.. I drove through the streets of Ibadan hoping to see at least one fulani milk maid but there was none, I was even annoyed by all this.. Christen is a witch, she could just get it easily without bothering me… God I just hope she stops all this wahala of hers. In that moment, I decided to call Khalid to see if he knew where I could get the fulani yoghurt.

    .

    Riley ➡ Hello Khalid.

    .

    Khalid ➡ Riley.. You dey craze.. Can’t you see your call just interrupted an intimate moment?

    .

    Riley ➡ Sorry o..please I’m in need of your help, do you know where I can find FURA DA NONO?

    .

    Khalid ➡ By this time of the night??? Ogbeni.. Are you sure you’re okay?

    .

    Riley ➡ Look, it’s for Christen.. She’s pregnant.

    .

    Khalid ➡ Wow! Man i feel for you.. You’re going through one of those stages of a man’s life.. Hang on friend.. You’ll definitely scale through. (Laughs) 😂😂😂.

    .

    Riley ➡ 😒 Are you done laughing?

    .

    Khalid ➡ Sorry man.. But seriously congratulations… I think I can help you with your problem, why don’t you come over to my place, I have a gallon of the stuff with me..

    ..

    Riley ➡ Thanks I’ll be right over.

    .

    Moments later, I arrived at Khalid’s place and got some of the stuff, I thanked him and drove back home, as soon as I got there and parked the car, I rushed into the house and straight to the bedroom, where I saw Christen drink the L and Z milk yoghurt.

    .

    Riley ➡ Darling.. I’ve got it.

    .

    Christen ➡ Ehn… You’re late..

    .

    Riley ➡ Of course I am.. I’ve been looking for fulani yoghurt all night. But I’ve finally gotten it.. It’s nice and cold.

    .

    Christen ➡ Well, you should drink it.. I’m full.. Good night love.

    .

    Christen went to sleep leaving me standing in shock… God! Why do women have to be so messed up? Why can’t they make up their minds?, after that I went back to the kitchen and put the drink in the fridge and then went back to sleep in the bedroom.

    This was just tip of the iceberg there are some nights when things get a little bit intense like for instance, There was this time I slept closely next to Christen wrapping my arms around her, then suddenly Christen would then unconsciously bite my arm hard… I got so scared when she did that especially when I saw her fangs.. I never knew she had fangs until now.. For many nights, this weird habit of hers has been going on until on this particular night she did something I just couldn’t handle. I was sleeping 😪 with my back turned towards her, Christen then subconsciously, reached out and sniff my shoulder after that, She bit me so hard her fangs dug deep into my flesh, I shouted out in pain and got away from her.. Christen then suddenly woke up and asked what happened, when she saw my bleeding shoulder and sensed the blood in her mouth, she freaked out.

    .

    Christen ➡ NO! NO! NO! NO!.. THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING.

    .

    Riley ➡ Darling.. Relax..

    .

    Christen ➡ How can you say that? I just bit you deep.. Does it hurt?

    .

    Riley ➡ No I’m fine.. I’m used to it..

    .

    Christen ➡ Used to it?….

    .

    Riley ➡ Look it doesn’t matter…

    .

    Christen ➡ Hold on… This isn’t the first time I’m doing this right?… How could you keep this from me? Do you know how serious this is? I could have killed you.

    .

    Riley ➡ Well, you haven’t.. It’s alright.

    .

    Christen ➡ No, its not.. I can’t stay here.

    .

    Riley ➡ Christen wait…..

    .

    Before I could stop her, she teleported out of the room, I was worried after that… Where could she have possibly gone this night.. I searched the house to see If she was hiding in one of the room, I even summoned Solomon to tell me where she was but even he couldn’t sense her presence.. I sat on the edge on the bed after that thinking about the worries look on her face.. I just hope she isn’t going to do anything crazy.. In that moment, I figured out an ides on how to find Christen, I took the car keys locked the house and drove to the gathering place of the supernatural beings to see if I could find Esther there, as soon as I got there, I saw the place crowded, and a party was going on, After parking my car, I went into the place and started looking for Esther, As I went around the place, I noticed all eyes were on me, Then suddenly I was startled by jenny.

    .

    Riley ➡ Jesus Christ! Jenny?

    .

    Jenny ➡ Riley!? It’s been a while… How’ve you been?.

    .

    Riley ➡ I’m fine.. How about you?

    .

    Jenny ➡ It’s been great.. Hmm, you look worried.. Is something wrong?

    .

    Riley ➡ I’m looking for Esther, have you seen her?

    .

    Jenny ➡ No… She’s hasn’t been coming to this place lately.

    .

    Riley ➡ D–n!

    .

    Jenny ➡ What’s wrong?

    .

    Riley ➡ I’m looking for Christen.. I wanted to see Esther and ask her if she knew where is she?

    .

    Jenny ➡ Is Christen alright?

    .

    Riley ➡ Yeah.. She just disappeared, that’s all.

    .

    Jenny ➡ Don’t worry.. Let me see what I can do.

    .

    Before I knew what was happening, Jenny called for the attention for everyone in the place and told them about the situation.

    .

    Jenny ➡ Listen up guys… Riley here is looking for Christen.. We need to help him find her.

    .

    Ghoul ➡ And why should we do that?

    .

    Jenny ➡ Because if anything happens to her, You all know what Rose will do to us..

    .

    Everyone kept quiet after that! They looked at each other as if they had heard a death sentence.

    .

    Witch ➡ But we’re not responsible for her disappearance..

    .

    Ghoul ➡ Yes

    .

    Mermaid ➡ It’s not fair.. She can’t harm us for something we didn’t do.

    .

    Riley ➡ Look everyone please.. I’m begging you to help me find her…

    .

    Monife ➡ Why should we?

    .

    I quickly turned to the direction from where the voice came from and saw it was Monife, she was sitting down having a cup of human blood.

    .

    Riley ➡ What did you just say?

    .

    Monife ➡ I said why should we? After all, you’re her fiance, her lover, her man.. You should have control over her and know her every move. Maybe she’s not gone, maybe there’s something you did to her.

    .

    Ghoul ➡ What are you talking about?

    .

    Monife ➡ What I’m saying is.. He’s a human and you all know humans are deceptive.. Maybe she isn’t gone, cause I know her, she wouldn’t leave your side for a second, I think there’s something you did to her.

    .

    Riley ➡ Are you saying I’m responsible for her disappearance?

    .

    Monife ➡ Of course.

    .

    The moment she said that, everyone turned around and stared at me suspiciously, then they began to mumble.. I knew what Monife was planning but how could I talk my way out and convince this horrific beings otherwise, but then suddenly Jenny took a a stand for me.

    .

    Jenny ➡ Alright, that’s enough! This is nothing but nonsense.. Monife.. You’re nothing but a trouble maker… Do you really think Riley can hurt christen? He can’t… Though he’s human but I can vouch for him.. Besides he’s not stupid enough to do anything to Christen cause he knows what will follow next.

    .

    Monife ➡ Shut your mouth, mammy water b*tch… You know nothing of this sniveling human. He’s not to be trusted.

    .

    Just as Monife and Jenny were about to start throwing harsh words at each other, we all heard a loud cynical laugh and a agonizing shout of pain, shortly after that, Rose and her friends came into the place dragging a man behind them, both of the man’s arms was torn apart and his mid-section was bleeding out immensely, as the poor soul kept shouting, Rose walked over to the man’s head and punched through his face, her hands came out from behind his head, she pulled out her hands and brought out his skull together with his brains.. She then threw it towards the direction of the ghouls and they all gathered around it like flies around a dustbin. In that moment, she saw me and was surprised by my presence.

    .

    Rose ➡ Riley!? What are you doing here?

    .

    Riley ➡ Hi, Rose.. I’m here to get some help.

    .

    Rose ➡ What for?

    .

    Monife ➡ Christen is missing and it’s his fault..

    .

    I was shocked when Monife said that before I could say anything, Rose smacked me hard across the face making me fly across the room, I fell down hard on the ground moaning in pain.. God.. This b*tch get power.

    Everyone stood still watching helpless as Rose made her way towards me.. She came over me and stomped my chest hard pressing her foot harder, I could feel the cracking sound of my ribs as Rose added more pressure to her footing.

    .

    Riley ➡ Rose! (gasp) hold on.. Monife is lying.. Let. Me. explain.

    .

    Rose ➡ Explain? What did you do to my sister?

    .

    Riley ➡ Nothing.. She just left the house all of a sudden..

    .

    Rose ➡ Just left that? Why?

    .

    Riley ➡ I don’t know.. That’s why I came here to look for her.

    .

    Rose ➡ Did you do anything to make her leave the house?

    .

    Riley ➡ No. I didn’t… Ahhhh (moans in pain)

    .

    Rose ➡ I don’t buy it.. Why are you then so worried that she left the house? Huh? Tell me..

    .

    Rose pressed her leg harder on my chest almost bursting through my ribs… I didn’t want to tell her why I was worried but if I don’t, she might end up killing me.

    .

    Riley ➡ I was worried because she’s…

    .

    Rose ➡ She’s what? Tell me!!!

    .

    Riley ➡ Because she’s pregnant!

    .

    Rose ➡ WHAT???

    .

    Everyone was surprised when I said that… Rose quickly got her foot off my chest and stared at me in astonishment.. I almost laughed when I saw the look on Monife’s face, she certainly wasn’t happy about this.. Rose then raised me up and dusted me, she apologized for everything but I wasn’t going to accept her apology instead I gave her exactly what she gave me.

    KAPOOW!!!!!

    Everyone gasped in shock when I slapped Rose, even she was taken aback but she didn’t flinch… I really felt good when I slapped her, I’ve been waiting a long time to do this.. She can’t just be beating people anyhow unreasonably, in that moment, I became a legend.

    .

    Rose ➡ You b*stard! Do you have any idea what you’ve done?

    .

    Riley ➡ Yeah, and I must say.. It felt good.. You had it coming..

    .

    Rose ➡ Do you think you can just embarrass me like that and walk away Scott free?

    .

    Riley ➡ Well, if you had listened to me first, this wouldn’t have happened.. You should focus your anger on Monife, she’s the architect of all this.

    .

    Rose smiled after that and then went over to Monife, when she saw Rose was coming, she attempted to run but she wasn’t fast enough, Rose grabbed hold of her with her shadow magic tangling her in it, as soon as she got close, She gave Monife such a beating that even the devil would feel sorry for her, the terrifying sound of Rose’s punch on Monife’s body made everyone trembled with fear, as soon as she was done with her, Monife’s face was covered in blood and bruised, she was then thrown out like a cockroach.

    Satisfied with her brutality, Rose approached me and gave me a hug.

    .

    Rose ➡ Congratulations.. I’m sorry I did that to you and I’m going to let you go for that slap but next time you do that again… I will be dining on your corpse.

    .

    Riley ➡ Fair enough..

    .

    Rose ➡ Since when was she pregnant?

    .

    Riley ➡ Weeks ago.

    .

    Rose ➡ What? And you didn’t tell me?

    .

    Riley ➡ We didn’t tell anybody, we wanted to wait for the right time to announce it.

    .

    Rose ➡ I still can’t believe it… Aunt Jezebel was right.. You had to impregnate her even before she became your wife.

    .

    Riley ➡ That’s none of your business.. Can we go look for her now?

    .

    After that, Rose ordered everyone to leave the place and join hands with us in looking for Christen.. That night, Ibadan was swarming with agents of dark forces, the ghouls blended in the shadows, the witches soared the skies, and the mermaids swam through the rivers around Ibadan, I on the other hand rode in my car together with Rose and a friend of hers.. We rode all over Ibadan looking for Christen but still there was no sign of her, we then decided to drive to Oyo and check the place, as we were driving there, we all began to converse.

    ..

    Rose ➡ So have you thought of the name of your unborn child?

    .

    Riley ➡ Yes.. But it’s a secret.. I won’t tell you.

    .

    Rose ➡ I see.. How did you feel when she told you she was expecting?

    .

    Riley ➡ I was surprised at first.. But I’m happy.

    .

    Rose ➡ Aren’t you worried that your life wouldn’t be the same?

    .

    Riley ➡ No.. As a matter of fact, my life has been the same since I met Christen. Why are you asking me all this?

    .

    Rose ➡ Because I’ve seen how deceptive you humans are, I’ve spent centuries in this world and I’ve seen a lot.. I want to make sure my sister gets a better life.. I don’t want her to make the like our mom.

    .

    Riley ➡ But she didn’t marry a human.

    .

    Rose ➡ yes but she was killed by one..

    .

    Riley ➡ Look, I love Christen and I’ll do anything to make her happy.. I don’t know what the future holds but I’ll do my best to make our marriage work..

    .

    Rose ➡ You’re so full of positivity.. I like that… But I’ll be on the sidelines to watch you both.

    .

    Riley ➡ So when are you getting married?

    .

    Rose ➡ Not yet. I’m not ready for that.

    .

    Riley ➡ My brother Lionel is still around, I know he has a girlfriend but I can make arrangements for you two to meet.

    .

    Rose ➡ Your brother? The one I tried to kill.. (Laughs) you can’t be serious.

    .

    Riley ➡ I am.

    .

    Rose ➡ No.. Don’t even bother.. I’d still kill him if I get the chance.. Your brother is quite a nourishment.

    .

    Riley ➡ I can’t believe you..

    .

    In that moment, our conversation was interrupted when we were halted by the police standing at the road side, I stopped the car and they came close to us flashing touch lights at us.

    .

    Riley ➡ Officers.. How can we help you?

    .

    Police man 1 ➡ Wetin you dey do by the time of the night?

    .

    Riley ➡ Going to my house of course.

    .

    Police man 2 ➡ Who be this oloshos wey you carry for your car?

    .

    Riley ➡ This is my sister in law and her friend.

    .

    Police man 1 ➡ Ehn.. Make I see your driving license

    .

    Rose ➡ Officer, you’re wasting our time.. Let us pass now.

    .

    Riley ➡ Relax Rose.

    .

    Police man 1 ➡ Wetin you say.

    .

    Rose ➡ I said let us pass..

    .

    Police man 2 ➡ I know trust this olosho, oya make una come down, COME DOWN!

    .

    Nancy ➡ Are they for real?

    .

    Rose ➡ They are.

    .

    Riley ➡ Please ladies.. Don’t do anything funny.

    .

    Police man 1 ➡ Oga, you dey hear so? I say come down..

    .

    We all came down from the car and started to search us but Rose wouldn’t let them touch her.

    .

    Rose ➡ Don’t you dare touch me, you pig.

    .

    Police man 1 ➡ You dey crazy ni? Come make I search you.

    .

    Rose ➡ Over my dead body.. I don’t let second rate beings touch my magnificent body.

    .

    Riley ➡ Rose just let them search you.

    .

    In that moment the other police man came behind Rose and gave her a dirty slap, I knew their lives were forfeit in that moment, as they were busy shouting at her, Rose bare out her nails, grabbed on of the policemen and tore out his throat with ease.. The other one couldn’t even wait, he ran a few pace backwards and aimed his gun at us before he could fire the gun, Rose’s friend got in front of him and dug her right hand in between his chest, pulling out his heart.

    All I could do was watch and shake my head in pity.. Police men and their wahala, now look at what they’ve caused for themselves, besides what were they doing by this time of the night?

    After that, we got into the car and continued our ride to Oyo, after hours of frantic search, Christen was no where to be found, we finally rode back to Ibadan and converged at the hangout. Even there others that helped us search for Christen said she was nowhere to be found.

    .

    Rose ➡ Are you sure she’s not here in Ibadan?

    .

    Jenny ➡ We’ve searched everywhere but she’s nowhere to be found.

    .

    Rose ➡ Well, I bet she’s back at home in our world.. Riley you go home and rest.

    .

    Riley ➡ Okay.. Please if you find her.. Let me know.

    .

    Rose ➡ Don’t worry.

    .

    I left the place and rode back home, as soon as I got there, I parked the car and sat on the hood, staring at stars in the sky,.. In that moment, I saw something that made me almost take off.. It was that same little girl with the black cat 🐈, she stood close to the forest and stared at me.

    I stood and stared at her as well, just what was she doing here? Is she after me? All this questions filled my mind.

    .

    Riley ➡ Why are you following me? Who sent you?

    .

    The girl stared at me giving me a direct look, the little devil looked so much like Christen in facial appearance.. Even when I asked her, she kept quiet and stared at me, then suddenly, she held out something in her hands showing it to me.. It was the same necklace 📿 as Christen’s, I brought out mine holding it in my hands, after that, she pointed at the necklace and then pointed towards the direction of the forest.. I didn’t understand, so I asked her what she meant.. She frowned a little and then put back the necklace, she then began to make gestures with her fingers as if she was writing something on air, in that moment, Some whitish ray of light showed at the place where she wrote and i saw what she had written.

    *She’s in her favorite place*

    After that, The girl, the cat, and the writing vanished like thin air… I began to think about what the girl wrote and then i figured it out… I ran as fast as I could into the forest, heading straight to the iroko tree, Why didn’t I think of it sooner? The Iroko tree was the one place that I forgot to check and it was the place Christen loves to hang out.

    Minutes later as I arrived at the place, I looked around the place but I couldn’t find her, as I looked up at the tree branches, I saw her high up standing on one of the branches.. I felt relieved when I saw her, she wasn’t even sleeping, she was just sitting down staring onto the view.

    .

    Riley ➡ Christen!!!

    .

    I called out to her but she didn’t answer, I called out to her again but she still didn’t answer, when I called for the third time, she looked down and stares at me, she still didn’t say anything.

    .

    Riley ➡ Okay.. If you won’t answer me, I’m climbing up.

    .

    But before I could do that, thorns began to pop out of the tree and before long the whole tree was covered in thorns except where Christen sat.. I stared at the horns and wondered why she was behaving like this.. Well if she thinks that’s going to stop me.. She’s going. I prayed silently in my mind and began to climb the tree.

     BELINA (TENDER BEAUTY)

    Belina – Episode 9

    Written by Adetola Nissi

    Mr. Badmus drove like a mad man back to his house and two times, almost collided with two vehicles because of his mental distraction. He got home and sluggishly dragged himself into the house but once he got inside the sitting room, he sat down on the floor with his back against the door and put his hands on his head. “Ah… I am finished”, he yelled, “Belina has killed me… she has finished finished me, she ruined all my plans, and… and where… ah, where would I get the one hundred and eighty thousand Naira from today, ehn?” he asked himself.

    He remembered how Belina’s mother, Linda, with the circumstances surrounding the time and cursed that day with all his might. Since she came into his life, everything had gone from good to bad and from bad to worse and now that he had a chance to re-write his destiny, that witch has snatched that chance away from him giving him more problem than he ever bargained for.

    He had been twenty eight years old when he met Linda. He didn’t know the love of a mother because she was always on business trips not giving a damn about whatever happened to him but as busy as his father was he still had time for him. He had been on a journey with his father one day when he was twenty five when they got involved in an accident. The accident did not claim his life but it claimed his father’s life. When he became twenty eight, he went to the doctor because he had slept with several girls without protection and did not record any of them coming to him with the ‘I am pregnant’ story. a test had been carried out which brought his worst nightmare to light. The doctor had looked him straight in the face and said, “…I am sorry, you can never be able to impregnate a woman”.

    He had been like a fallen tree for months. The friends he had told, instead of pacifying and consoling him had mocked him and helped him spread the news. He had been stinkingly rich then so one day when he was checking out of a hotel that was popularly known in the island to be a ‘hotel for the rich’ after a business trip, he saw a very very beautiful young lady crying on the staircase. He was instantly drawn to her, so he approached her and asked her what the matter was. She said, “I came to see a man here but he threw me out”.

    He was taken aback wondering how a reasonable man could throw this striking lady out without a second thought. After much persuasion, she opened up and said, “I met him like a month ago and he promised to take care of me but now I a pregnant and he is denying it, saying he has a wife that he loves, he did not tell me that before o, he did not”, she had said crying profusely.

    He took her to his house; he had inherited the house from his father and despite the fact that he had other houses; he loved this particular house because of its design for it was actually built like a foreign house. He had the servants prepare her a warm bath and after her bath, she had slept like a newly born baby. She actually looked like one. When she woke up the next morning he had called her, told her his problem and promised to take care of her and the child if she allows the child to bear his surname. She had agreed instantly and he also made her promise never to disclose that secret to their child. They had lived in luxury for five years and he noticed the time that Linda started falling in love with him. He was taken by her beauty but he just was not in love with her. Belina grew to be a carbon copy of her mother and much more beautiful that she looked like a doll most of the time. This made Mr Badmus exceedingly angry because he could boast about being her father in public but in his heart, the truth that he could never have a child however ugly, made him despise Belina. Things became bad after five years and he took it out big time on Linda blaming her for misfortunes and he would have transferred it also on Belina if Linda hadn’t been protecting her all the way.

    Mr. Badmus wanted to just die as he looked at how far he had depreciated. He wished he had abandoned Linda on the step that day. He looked around at all he was worth in the sitting room and said to himself, “if it is the last thing I do, I would make sure that Belina pays for this”. He said and crossed his heart.

    Tolu took out the 150, 000 Naira he had collected from Tunji for the job and put it in his cross bag. When he was about to step out of his house, he thought about it again and removed fifty thousand naira from the money and dropped it. Tunji would have to accept the money like that, at least the job was carried out only that those idiotic boys blundered it. He took something else and put it in his pocket. If he won’t accept it, I would make him accept it by force.

    He got to Tunji’s house and upon arrival, he met Tunji in his sitting room about to finish a bottle of whiskey. Tunji looked at him immediately he entered and his eyes sent bullets right through his heart. Tolu was never intimidated by anyone so he marched right towards him, brought out the 100, 000 Naira and placed it right there on the bar.

    “That is 100, 000 Naira. I removed 50, 000 because the job was carried out only that the girl ran away”. Tunji lifted the cup of whiskey to his lips but instead of him to drink it, in a flash, he poured it in Tolu’s face. “Jesus…” Tolu said, startled. Tunji laughed slightly and the next second, his face was blank like he hadn’t been laughing merely seconds ago. “You better complete my money, right here and now, if not, uhn, you would see”. Very slowly like in all these action movies, Tolu brought out his gun at placed it right on Tunji’s forehead. Tunji turned to a stone with seconds and he started shivering like he had fallen into the type of ice water that was showed in Titanic. Tolu laughed heartily, “so, you no even get liver. Give me one reason why I should not blow your head off”, he said. Tunji kept on saying please but he had stepped on Tolu’s toes. “You have never been slapped by a woman and you wanted her to pay for it, so also no one had dared pour a cup of water on my face not to mention a drink. Well, when I blow off your head, I would be able to take the whole money. Say hello to the devil for me”, he said and pulled the trigger.

    As the day went by, I almost forgot completely about the event of the previous day. Prisca made everything very enjoyable and my newly found dad and mum made me feel like a little girl again. They were very comfortable. Not exceedingly rich but they could easily buy whatever they wanted without thinking twice. One would expect them to feel pompous but no, they were the most humble set of people I had ever seen. They took me out and got me new sets of clothes, shoes bags and everything they felt was customary. Anyone that did not know them would think I was their daughter.

    Being a weekend, everyone was at home. Mum almost overfed me and I commented on it but she would not have any excuses. She said I was still weak no matter what I said and that I should just eat and sleep. Although I was not so used to being fussed over, I enjoyed it and I made myself feel like a baby for the first time in my life.

    I strolled out with Prisca in the evening. We had prepared dinner earlier so that we would be able to stroll out together in order to be alone away from the house. Though Prisca’s parents pamper a lot, they were also disciplinarians and did not even condone laziness. That is the reason why they did not employ any house help. I walked beside Prisca and I noticed that she had been silent for most of the evening. “What’s up Prisca?” I asked. She sighed, “You don’t know how happy I am to have you here with me. It had been really tough living alone with my parents without any young person to chat with. Sometimes I feel older than I actually am”. I laughed heartily, “cmon now, your parents are not old, I am very sure they both still turn heads”, I said winking honestly. She grinned, the old Prisca returning, “so, you know about the turning of heads abi? Who taught you” she asked mischievously. “Abeg leave me joor, you have started”, I said trying to avoid the place I knew she was headed. “you should join the convent baby girl, only that you are not a saint” she said. I stopped and placed my hands on my hips feigning anger. “You this girl don’t have respect again o, am I the one you are talking to” I asked looking upset and Prisca laughed. She was actually older than me with three months and some days. Prisca stood in front of me and used her eyes to trace my body like she was a guy and I instantly became uncomfortable. She laughed heartily and had to hold her sides trying to still the laughter. I hissed, “so you have not thrown away your acting skills abi?” I asked. It had been a long time since she did that and she always did that to drive in her point. “You see? You are not immune to guys and what I just did confirm it”. She came over and placed her hand on my shoulder. “Give yourself the chance to love someone and you would be as happy as I am with Tony”. I remembered what I saw yesterday and blushed. She laughed again for a long time and I finally smiled uncomfortably. She did not stop laughing so I gave her a tender blow on her arm and she ran off laughing. There was just something about being with Prisca, she could make you remember your time as a child with so much ease that you want to behave like a child. When she started running, I ran after her, shouting at her to make her stop but she did not so I ran faster. Thank God we were almost at home because I just could not make myself stop, I was enjoying myself for the first time in a very long while and when we got inside, we collapsed on the floor and laughed our butts out while dad and mum stood there looking at us.

    Tony was exceedingly happy when Richard told him about Deji’s stability. It had been a long time since a casualty had been recorded in their hospital and he had prayed that it remain that way although his prayed had doubled when he saw the way Richard was taking it. He knew that if the outcome had been otherwise, Richard would be adversely affected even if he did not tell anyone because he had this arrogant exterior that never wanted anyone to see his pain.

    He had known Richard right from his secondary school days and they had been inseparable friends although they got separated a bit when they went to the higher institution, fate brought them back to each other. Richard who was a complete Nigerian looked more foreign and was often mistaken for a half cast because of his wavy hair and non-Nigerian voice. He was given birth to in America but when his parents got divorced seven years after he was born, his father had taken custody of him while his mother took he other two girls.

    Tony made Deji’s room and he met Doctor Deolu, the third doctor in the hospital, on the way and they exchange pleasantries before they parted. He entered Deji’s room and found him awake looking confused. “Hello, how are you feeling?” he asked smiling at Deji. Deji looked at him more confused, “I don’t know who you are” “it is alright, I am your doctor” “You don’t understand, I… I don’t know anything. The only thing I remember is being hit by a big bus. Where was I going…Who am i?” Deji lamented. Tony felt distraught but did not let it show on his face (one of the virtues a doctor should possess) so he just said still smiling, “you just need to rest a little bit and I am sure you would remember it all in a short while. It is perfectly normal at this stage”. When it became obvious that Deji would not be able to relax because of his confusion, Tony sedated him and went in search of Richard.

    **********

    **********

    Mr. Badmus had called his friends seeking for financial help but none of them wanted to help him. He could not go to his bank to seek for a loan either so he decided to wait at home keeping a low profile and hoping that Tunji would not come. The entire money he had was fifty thousand Naira and he took it home incase Tunji showed, he would not be empty handed.

    He switched on the Tv desperately trying to calm his nerves and what he saw chilled him to the bones. “HEADLINES: The son of the Deputy Governor, Olatunji James, murdered.

    *****

    “Unexpected things happen in life and try as we may, we don’t have the power to stop it. We sometimes feel some people deserve death more than others and those who actually deserve death seem to be immune to it but we must know that God works in mysterious ways and everything he does is well calculated”.

    *****

    Mr. Badmus seemed to receive the news with mixed feelings. He still could not place the fact that someone he had seen the previous day and spoken to merely hours ago is dead. He suddenly became scared of his environment and he looked around to be sure he was alone. He stared at the Tv again and asked no one in particular, “who could have done this?” he thought about belina but knew that no matter how stubborn she is, she could never attempt something like that. Though he was distraught about the fact that his only source of making wealth had been cut off completely, he still had a cause to smile.

    He remembered the way Tunji had been screaming his lungs out on phone about what he would do if he did not bring the money and related it to the incident of the rich fool in the bible. It had been years since he was within the four walls of a church and he still did not see any reason why that should change. He smiled secretly in his heart, happy that the problem was solved but when he looked at the Tv again, he swore for the second time in his heart to ensure that Belina pays for everything she had cost him.

    **********

    **********

    I stared at the plasma TV in shock as the newscaster relayed the story of a murder. I sat shivering in my seat as I looked at the TV, not really hearing what was being said. Prisca’s parents initially did not know who was being referred to and they just reacted to the news the way every normal person would. Prisca who was by my side on the two seater couch hugged me tenderly and when her parents looked at us, they remembered where they had heard that name and Prisca’s dad became angry.

    “So this is the bastard that have been making your life miserable?” he asked and stared at Tunji’s picture again on the TV wanting to kill him the second time perhaps. “He damn right deserves what he got so don’t you dare cry if you love yourself”, he said glaring at me.

    I didn’t intend on crying and even if I did, tears seemed to desert my eyes. I should be happy that I would finally have a little bit of peace but I just could not smile. I pitied Tunji and wished he hadn’t ended his life like that. I had a strong conviction that if my dad had not made him believe that he could have me, he would not have pursued me this long. I remembered that it had been only two days ago when I saw him and he looked so full of life. The might and ability of God now amazed me tremendously as he could wipe out anything and anyone with a second. Prisca’s mother scolded her husband for being too harsh on me and even though he wished that Tunji would get a special department in hell, his eyes said he wished he could kill him himself.

    ********** **********

    Richard sat in his office not looking very happy. Tony had told him about Deji’s memory loss and how he only remembered the traumatic accident and his heart reached out to him. He knew that that state was far better than death and even though Deji had lost his memory, he still gave thanks to God. He promised himself to do all that he can to see that Deji recovers his memory. Deji’s parents including Adewale and some friends came to the hospital and Richard had explained the situation to them. He noticed that they were not happy with his loss of memory but were glad all the same thanking him for his help. Although Deji should be around 24 to 25 years by his scrutiny, his parents fussed over him like a newly born baby while he just looked at them confused.

    He went into the bathroom to wash his hands and when he saw his reflection in the toilet mirror, he noticed that he looked drawn and stressed so made a mental note to have a vacation sometime soon. He left his office and went into Deji’s room to check on him and saw his parents with him. Deji looked at him upon arrival and smiled at him. After greeting the parents, he looked at Deji, smiled back and asked, “How is the good patient doing today?” “I am feeling much better Doctor Richard” Deji said still smiling. “You can call me Richard”, Richard said feeling a little bit awkward having a young guy like him call him so formally. He wouldn’t have felt awkward if he had not taken Deji’s case personal.

    Deji smiled the more and asked, “When would I recover my memory doctor? I feel awkward when I see people I don’t remember treat me with so much familiarity”.

    Richard nodded sympathetically and said, “Very soon. A psychologist would be here to check on you on Monday and I think in a very short while, you would recall even the day you were born”. Deji laughed at the joke and asked another thing, “Can I at least stand up and walk about a bit? I feel like I have been lying on this bed since the day I was born”. Richard laughed slightly was about to talk when Deji’s mother said, “no, you are not standing up from this bed yet o, ma koba mi iwo omo yi”, she said aggressively. “He can stand up and have the nurses push him around in a wheel chair for a few minutes”, Richard said softly even though Deji’s mother did not buy the idea. After convincing her that it is a good idea, he left and on the way, told nurse Titi to carry out the assignment.

    Tony had taken the evening off to rest at home and prepare for service the next day and Richard also felt he should do the same thing. He was glad that Tony had convinced the Human Resource Department to employ Belina even though he knew she could have been easily employed without his interference, she is exceedingly brilliant. Even though he still haven’t seen her he had seen her credentials and test papers and have acknowledged that she must be a genius. He knew that she was going through a tough time by what Tony told him the other day and he was glad that she would be working there. He sat down in his office anticipating her arrival on Monday and how it would help Deji’s memory.

     She woke up one of the night hour and started praying again for her daughter and her future and God revealed the second time who her daughter’s husband would be.

    She didn’t tell Jane because she needed to be sure of  the revelation. Still it came out similar face, structure and nothing was hidden from her.

    One morning, after their morning devotion Jane’s mother decided to asked Jane what she has never done for long now. She needed to know what is happening in the life of her daughter, She had prayed and she’s convinced.

    She has asked God to also reveal this man to her daughter one day too.

    “Jane dear…” The mother called in the midst of their chats

    “Yes mother”.

    “I want to ask you something please..”

    “Okay…what is it mother…”

    “My dear, You know after you parted ways with that brother of yours I have not seen you bringing any brother here, even if he’s your friend. I know that you are still praying, that’s why I never want to bother my prescious jewel, even now. But dear, have you seen someone, how has your prayer been? Is there any revelation? God can speak to us in diverse ways don’t forget Jane.  Grace is married and soon you will be the one remaining. But my dear, your mother is here with you, God is with you. If no one has approached you yet I believe he is coming sooner than you may expect him! Trust me and trust this God dear, the later shall be counted all joy” the mother lastly said

    “Hmm, mother, I’m so grateful to have you by my side…I understand that every mother looks and prays for a day her daughter will grow to be a woman, bring a man of her choice and a day she will be called a Grandma…”.

    “…for that is the prayer of every mother. Yes mother I know it all. Mother, I believe that my prayers and my waiting will never be in vain! The Bible says that ‘we should seek him first and every other things will be added unto us!” This verse keeps my hope”.

    “…Don’t worry mother, I am doing perfectly fine! And after Grace’s wedding mine will be the next!” Jane said smiling hard

    “Amen my dear… you deserve the smiles, may you find peace in your future home. Happiness will never cease and God’s love will keep on burning. Your future man will not rest untill he locates you o…” The mother prayed and they all chorused amen!!! Filling the room with laughter .

     BELINA (TENDER BEAUTY)

    Belina – Episode 7

    Written by Adetola Nissi

    I walked down the lane crying. My life just seemed to be going bad by the day. I felt like dying and all of a sudden, my phone went alive and I picked up almost immediately.

    “Hello Prisca, oh prisca… thank God you called” I said still crying. Even my mum’s admonition about tears could not stop my tears. “What is the matter Belina? I had been calling like forever, are you ok?” she asked. “No, you only need to see me but I need your help now, I would tell you everything later”. “I knew you were not ok, we are already on our way to your house now, tony and I” she said. “No, no, don’t go there o, I am not there. I am at boruwa lane. I don’t know the area but that is where I am, on the road”. I said hurridly “What are you doing there and where the hell is that?” she asked then paused to ask Tony before she said, “Tony knows the place, stay where you are baby, we are coming”. She said and hung up.

    The breeze turned cold and I looked at the sky and I noticed that it was about to rain. My tears started coming more frequently and I tried to subside it. I noticed that the bushes were moving and I thought it was due to the breeze. I moved slowly so that I would be easy to locate. I heard something that resembles footsteps and I stood completely still but I almost passed out when I heard two people’s voices coming closer.

    I scanned the area quickly and saw a place where the bush was thicker and ran there silently. I entered the bush without thinking about the snakes and scorpions I might find there. I saw two guys and I identified them to be the guys who abducted me; they were obviously searching for me. I stood completely still even my breath seemed to cease. They started scanning the area and when one of them looked in my direction, I expected him to see me instantly and just pick me out of the bush but instead, he looked away. I breathed out but stood still for fear of giving myself away.

    “Ei, I don die”, one of them said, placing his hands on his head. “Ahhh, see gbege. Which kind sleep we sleep so, ehn? Wetin we go tell oga Tolu now?” the other said I scanned my head to see if I knew any Tolu but I didn’t. “Oga Tolu palava no worse reach Oga Tunji own, him go kill us”, the first said. “na you cause am o spanner, why you sleep after I tell you say make you watch the girl”.

    The other whose name I now knew was spanner said, “you no well. Make I dey watch person when you dey sleep abi? Na me no sabi sleep?” spanner asked the other. He didn’t answer, so they started scanning the area again. Spanner saw something and stopped.

    “Sparrow….” He called and pointed a place to him. They both looked there and I found myself looking in that direction too. I saw a light that looked very much like a headlight. My immediate thought went to Tony and Prisca and I started thinking of how I would get out my phone without catching the attention of the two guys. I looked at the two guys and noticed that they were moving 

    I brought out my phone and dialed Prisca. She picked almost immediately and I spoke quietly. “Pric, where are you” I asked. “I was just about to call, we are at Boruwa lane now but we can’t find you”. “I can see your head lamp so just come forward. The guys are after me and they are few steps away from me. I would start running towards you guys, so pls, open the door so that I can get in immediately you reach me” I said. “ok”, she said and hung up.

    I saw the vehicle coming ahead of me so I said a little prayer and came out of the bush. I started running towards the car, waving at them so that they would recognize me. I noticed that the footsteps I heard were not mine only so I looked back, lo and behold, they were at my heels. I ran with all my might and when I got to the car, it slowed down; the door was already open so I jumped in and the car zoomed off almost running over one of the two.

    Richard smiled from the bottom of his heart for the first time in a long while. He looked at Deji who looked confused with a comforting smile. He looked weak and was fighting sleep as he continually opened his eyes. Richard encouraged him to sleep and he later gave in. Richard stood there for more than ten minutes just staring at him and later went back to his office.

    He got to his office and knelt down beside his table and started thanking God. He had been praying for the past two days and God had just answered his prayers. He placed his head on his table after the prayer, greatly relieved.

    As I entered the car, I collapsed on the back seat for some minutes, my eyes closed without uttering a word. I opened my eyes and saw Prisca staring at me. I knew I must look ragged and dirty but I didn’t even give a damn about how I look. I later opened my mouth and said, “Thanks a lot; I would probably be out of this country by dawn if you guys hadn’t come for me”.

    “What happened Lina? How did you get there?” Prisca asked. “Calm down darling, let her rest, she has been through a lot”, Tony said

    I smiled faintly and simply said, “I would tell you all about it later but what I know is that they were sent by Tunji and I would wager that my dad has a hand in it too”. “What? How can a father do that? No, I don’t think he has a hand in it”, Tony said. I laughed slightly, “Well, you don’t know my father”, I said.

    Prisca placed her hand on my leg comfortingly as I lay on the chair and there was no other discussion until we got to Prisca’s place. I was so weak and I wondered if I would be able to stand not to mention walk with my sore feet, but I did. I walked slowly to the gate and waited for Prisca who was busy talking with tony. I looked back just in time for me to see Tony kiss Prisca good night and I quickly took my face away. Prisca walked up to me some minutes after and I thanked Tony again before he sped off.

    We walked inside on silent feet and we got to Prisca’s bedroom uneventful and even though all I wanted to do was sleep, I removed my clothes and had a warm bath in her bathroom. She also did the same thing and after I had worn a night gown which actually belongs to her, I climbed the bed. All the questions she tried to ask me fell on deaf ears as sleep overtook me.

    Sparrow and spanner had been sitting on the road for more than fifteen minutes and they finally decided to stand up. They just could not believe that Belina had been right beside them and they had not seen her. They headed back to their base thinking of the best way to present the case to Tolu and Tunji.

    Tunji stirred in his sleep as the 6:00 alarm started ringing, he reached for his phone and turn it off. He was usually a late sleeper and most times, he woke up 8 o’clock or 9 o’clock. He had set the alarm yesterday when he was about to sleep because of the level of importance today possed. His phone started ringing shortly after and he ignored it at first, when it rang again, he picked up the phone to check who it was and it was his father. He stared at the phone then finally 

    “Morning dad”, he said. “Morning Tunji, how are you?” his father asked “I am sleepy”, Tunji said grumpily. “Hmmm, I need to see you son, we need to talk” “I am busy dad, you cant see me till next month. I am travelling out today”, Tunji said. “What? Where are you going?” his father asked “it is none of your business dad, I am not a kid anymore”, Tunji said drily. “what does that mean? I am beginning to suspect your movements, if you get into trouble, don’t come to me o” “Don’t worry, I can take care of myself”, he said and dropped the phone.

    Tunji hissed and stood up from the bed. He realized how good a decision it was to move out of his father’s mansion. He had extorted enough money to last him a long while and he had been given one of his father’s companies to manage so money was not the problem. He had appointed someone to run the company because he didn’t want to waste time in the company when he could be out having fun. He hadn’t been free in his father’s mansion; his mother never monitored what he did but whenever his father was not in one meeting or the other, he had to behave. He had various girl friends and whores but they all looked expired to him immediately he set his eyes on Belina.

    He stood up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He had booked a morning flight so he showered, dressed and stepped out of his room. He got to the sitting room and noticed that he did not put off the Tv yesternight. He put it off and went off to pick his soon-to-be bride.

    Mr. badmus woke up really early and started packing his things to his car. He loaded the trunk with his things and when he saw that he still had enough time, he decided to pick few for Belina.

    He got to her room and saw that her clothes were inside her boxes but her shirts were on the hanger. Always neat Belina, he thought. He wanted to select but he didn’t have the patience to do so because he was hungry so he just carried one box and left. He dropped it in the trunk of his car and went back inside to make himself breakfast.

    It had been a while since he made breakfast by himself cos Belina always took care of that but he had no option today. He took out the remaining sliced bread in the fridge and started frying the eggs he had bought yesterday night.

    When he finished frying, he served himself and when he tasted the egg, it was too salty. He hissed angrily, pushed the egg away and ate his bread ordinarily with a little juice.
