©️PROMISE DAVIS MAUREEN

Avril’s POV

I jolt up from my beautiful sleep due to the heavy banging on the bathroom door.

What the f**k!

Who is banging on the door?

I stood up from the bathtub, the bubbles already died out. I tied my towel around my body and walk towards the door.

I turned the door knob and pushed it open, standing in front of me was Ace and Jane.

“The f**k are you both doing? Banging the door like that?” I asked angrily. I can swear that I saw him scoffed.

He scoffed? He must be a dummy.

I pushed pass them and enter my room, I sat down on my bed and raise an eyebrows on both of them.

“What were ya both doing?, I’m not dead am I?” I asked them both.

“You’re sick!” Ace snapped, I furrowed my eyebrows, questioning his claim.

I stood up from my bed and walk closer to him, very close that the heat radiating off his body can be felt.

“What did you just say?” I asked, he smirked and bring his mouth close to my ear.

“I said you are sick, ain’t you sick. Madam?” He snorts. I stood there wide eyed.

Didâ€¦.did he just speak to me in thus manner.

“How dare you? I……you are fired!” I yelled, poking him with my finger.

He chuckled and stepped away from me, I raised an eyebrow and stared at me.

I just remember that I’m only on my towel around my bodyguard.

“Get out!!!” I shouted, he chuckled and raised his hand.

“You are one feisty lady, I like that.” He said and walk out of the room. I placed my hand on my chest, my heart was beating erratically.

Thank God, he is out!

You re dumb Avril, dumb to let him get away with what he did.

I sat down in front of my dressing mirror and pop out some amount of body lotion inside my palm and rubbed it on my body, after rubbing my body with some lotion I ranged the bell beside my bed and Jane came in.

“You called me, your excellency.” She said and I nods. My mind was already on my phone and at that moment also my phone started ringing putting a smile on my face.

Ishmael!!!

“Get a nightwear for me.” I told her, she nodded and walk inside my closet while I swiped my phone answer icon and placed the phone on my ear.

Ace POV

“Forward all the mails to my inbox after reviewing it, I’ll tell you what to do.” I told my secretary.

“Yes sir, I’ll do exactly as you said. One more thing Sir, the board meeting is tomorrow are you coming orâ€¦..” I cut her off before she could finish her statement.

“I’ll be there, get everything ready.” I told her and hang up.

I placed my phone on the bed and scratched my head furiously.

Seriously I am getting tired of this, I don’t give a f**k if she remember me or not, if she have a boyfriend or not. Hell she is mine from day one!

Before Banaras became the president he used to be a business mogul, he and my father run a joint company at that time.

‘BanFair group of companies’

At that time Avril was just a little girl, I guess she was in junior high school at that time, she always throw herself on me.

One time she confessed that she have a huge crush on me, it was so cute and dramatic because she ends up crying.

Too bad I wasn’t interested at that time because I’m totally older than her. Sixteen freaking years!

She keep making advances, trying to seduce me at any chance she got but I wasn’t falling for it.

On my birthday she was already in college, because of my birthday she wanted to surprise me I guess but end up losing her memory to a fatal accident which nearly claim her life.

It was depressing and sad, I couldn’t think hell I couldn’t even go to work.

All I do is stare at her photo frame in my bedroom el day.

Little did I know that the little Avril have managed to slip her way into my heart.

When she woke up from coma after two years sadly she couldn’t remember me anymore.

Funny how she could remember her parent but couldn’t remember me.

Now I’m here, taking in all her arrogant sh*ts, trying to make her remember me.

I sigh and lay back down on the bed. I don’t have the whole time to do this. I might not have the patience to continue this anytime soon.

Avril’s POV

Ace and I were touring the garden, my eyes glancing around the garden.

My garden.

A lot of things have changed here, mom has taken good care of it.

“So, how long have you been working here?” I asked. He glanced at me, his face still stone cold.

“Two years.” He replied shortly. He doesn’t talk much I see.

I sat down on a sofa in the garden.

“Did you go to college?” I asked, he was quiet for awhile before nodding.

Oh so he studied security? Or what? Lol.

It was already late, I wonder when Ishmael will call. I sigh and keep scrolling through my phone.

I enter my Instagram account and scroll through it staring st the pictures of my friends.

Ishmael just upload a picture, he captioned it ‘my sweet vanilla, missing her that I want to fly’ @avrilbanaras.

I smiles and click on the like then type in a comment. ‘I miss you,love.”

Two minutes later his call came in.

�Hello sweet vanilla.”� He greeted, oh come on. Can he just stop calling me that?

I smiled and glanced at Ace, he was looking somewhere else. Just good.

�What are you doing now?”� I asked, biting my lip at the thought of him laying on his bed shirtless.

�Laying down on my bed, scrolling through our pictures.”� He replies. The feeling is mutual then. He misses me as much as I do.

�I will be in my room soon then I’ll face time you, sounds good?” I asked, he hummed.

“Okay, expect my call in ten minutes.” I hanged up and keep my phone inside my pocket.

“Ace?” I called, looking at him.

“Yes, your excellency?”

“Carry me.” I told me, he stared at me for some moment before squatting down in front of me. I climbed on his back and rest my head on his body,my head holding tightly to his neck.

He started working towards the main entrance, my eyes slowly closing.

I don’t want to disappoint Ishmael, I want to see his face.

A guard pushed the main entrance door open for us. He bowed when he sees me and Ace walk inside the house.

Climbing up the stairs he pushed open my door and walk to the bed then slowly dropped me. Jane my personal maid walk in.

“Good evening your excellency, I’ll go bring out your nightwear now.” She told me and I nodded.

“You don’t have to tell, you do. Got it?” I snapped at her, she gulped and nervously nodded.

She opened my closet and walk in.

I turned to face Ace and furrowed my eyebrow.

“Why are you still here? Get out.” I commanded. He raised an eyebrow and nodded before walking out.

Damn this low class people thinking I get to befriend them.

I fished out my phone from my pocket and face time Ishmael.

“Looking fresh huh?” I said and he chuckled.

“Looking hot huh?” He mimicked me. I stuck out my tongue and he laughed.

Ishmael is a very handsome, he is about 6’0 fit tall, he have blue hazel eyes that I fell in love with.

“How are your parents?” He asked.

“They are good, goddammit I nearly could not recognize her.” I said and chuckled loudly.

Jane came back with my nightwear and dropped it on the bed.

“Can I get you anything else, madam?” She asked, I hate it when people interrupts me.

“Can’t you see? I’m on a f**king call! Get out.” I barked at her. A frightened look came on her face as she ran out of the room.

Looks like mom didn’t train this lower class people well.

“You’re being harsh on her, babe.” Ishmael said and I roll my eyes. I’m not being harsh, just simply showing them their places.

“Oh whatever, can we continue talking about us now?” I asked and he stared at me for a moment before nodding his head.

I keep talking with Ishmael all night, I slept at midnight very much exhausted.

I didn’t see my maid or my guard again throughout the night and I was so f**king grateful.

That I complements his handsomeness doesn’t mean a thing.

They are still low and dirty to me.

F*ck it, how did he even go to college and then became a guard?

I turned off the nightstand and closed my eyes then slept off.

NEXT MORNING

I woke up from sleep with Jane already cleaning my dressing table.

I sat down on my bed and rubbed my eyes.

“Good morning,your excellency.” She greeted,bowing her head.

“Why are you in my room, without my notice?” I asked, she stare at me and then smile a little.

“Madam,I…i….the first lady instructed to always get things done before breakfast time.” She replies. The nerve of bringing my mother inside this matter.

“You serve me now, and not my mother. Prepare a warm bath for me.” I told her.

She walk inside the bathroom and I sigh. Going for sightseeing today.

It has been so long I last visited America.

DIANA

I smiled when I saw the family reunite. It was a great happiness to see that boy that I met on the streets finally has a home to live in. A home where they will love him no matter what.

But on my own side, I guess my only home is with Aunt Rita. She is the only one I can trust and love, not even my mother.

“Diana.” Somebody called from outside the ward and when I looked there I saw Caroline.

“What do you want?” I said storming out in anger.

“Baby please listen to me. I am sorry.” She said in tears.

“Don’t even get started with me. You have gotten what you want with Elisha. The money, losing your child, hatred from everyone including your own blood.”

“Diana.”

“I shouldn’t be the one you are apologizing to. You have been doing that for a very long time now and when I thought I should have a reason to forgive you, because you are my mother, your true self finally showed me you aren’t worth anyone to love you.”

“Because of you, you left me with Aunt Rita, because of you, Isaac’s father is dead and he was on the streets for 20years, because of you I almost died of poison, because of you Mom fell in love with John, because of you Enoch is dead! It’s all your fault! Because none of this would have happened if you stood with father when things were hard.”

“I can’t blame him if he has a family somewhere else now and has the money to cater for them. The patient dog eats the fattest bone. I don’t want to ever see you anywhere near me, because I never want to be like you!”

“I hate you and regret having you as my mother. I wish the table turned and the barren one is you, while Aunt Rita is my real mother. All this wouldn’t have happened, you know why?”

“Because she isn’t driven off the edge by material things.” I said in anger.

“How dare you talk to me like that?” She said raising her hand to slap me and before it landed on my face someone held her back.

“Don’t you dare touch my daughter.” Father said pushing her back.

“Father.” I said happily hugging him and he kissed my head.

“What are you doing here?” I asked.

“I heard the rumors. I had to rush down here to see if you and Isaac are okay.” He said shooting mother a disappointed look.

“I am fine but Isaac isn’t. He just lost his brother, and Caroline’s husband is the cause of it. He tried to kill me and Enoch took it instead.” I said and his eyes widened.

“What?” He said and we both looked at her.

“Jacob don’t even start acting like the saint you aren’t. Help me talk to Diana, I can’t lose her.” She said.

“At least I ain’t the devil here. When you took my daughter away from me,I begged you! I begged you to stay but you were already blinded by the money Elisha had.”

“I knew things would go wrong, but he killing our daughter, is one thing I didn’t expect at all. You should be grateful he didn’t succeed, cos I would kill your children one by one right in your presence.” He said angrily.

I was shocked seeing him that way because I have never seen him get so angry. I looked at Caroline and I saw she was equally shocked.

“Go away. We don’t need you here. You have done enough damage.” Father Said holding my hand.

“I will go. But I need you to know I love you. I love you so much Diana, and I love you too Jacob.” She said.

“Oh please, don’t tell me that.” He said and she ran out of the hospital in tears. I turned to father and hugged him letting out all the tears on him.

“At least the devil is gone. We can now have peace of mind.” I said in tears.

“She is still your mother Diana. You should find a place in your heart to forgive her. I know it won’t be easy, so I give you time.” He said and I sighed nodding.

We both looked inside the ward and I saw Isaac looked happy with his family. The father Daniel too looked like the happiest father on Earth.

“,Who is that?” Father asked.

“Isaac’s stepfather.” I replied with a smile on my face.

“Hey Diana. Come in.” Isaac said waving to me and I smiled walking into the ward.

“You are my sons girlfriend.” Daniel said and I nodded smiling.

“I am so happy you two met each other. He has told me many things about you, starting from when you first met.” He said and I nodded.

“I don’t regret having Isaac in my life Sir. Though when he came in good and bad things from my family happened to him. I will still love him, I will love him forever.”

“I am just scared that it may not need mutual, not after what my family did to him and his brother.” I said bowing my head in tears.

“Hey. C’mon you know I can never hate you. You are not your mother, the lady I am in love with isn’t driven by material things because she fell in love with a street boy who also ate garbage. I love you and will always do. You gave me a life when I had no one.” He said and I rose up my head.

Tears filled both of ours eyes and we hugged each other weeping.

DIANA

I stared at Mrs Danielle as she laid on the bed, her eyes were still shut and my eyes were still very heavy due to the excess tears dropping.

I kept staring at her until her eyes opened, she turned to look at me and I smiled.

“You are awake. How are you feeling?” I asked and she looked around.

“I fell unconscious.” She said and I nodded.

“Hold on! Where is Enoch!” She yelled trying to get up but I stopped her.

“Mrs Danielle I am so sorry, but Enoch is gone. And I think Issac knows who did it.” I said and her eyes widened.

“You know? Who is it?” She asked and I sighed.

“You don’t want to know. It’s not yet sure.” I said and she sat up at all cost.

“Tell me who did this to my son! Where is Isaac?” She asked.

“It’s uncle John. He was sent by Caroline’s husband to plant it in my drawer and instead of me taking it, he took it.” I said.

“Elisah did this?” She asked in tears.

“He didn’t mean it to be Enoch, he meant it for me.” I said bowing my head.

“Why? Why is he after you?” She asked.

“I am yet to find out. Isaac is at the police station, we are trying to lure Uncle John to mom, so she can make sure he doesn’t leave town because he knows Isaac knows.” I said and she grabbed her hair.

“I don’t still Understand why he would want to do this to you. You aren’t even staying with them, Caroline doesn’t even show she cares, why would Elisha try doing this to you?” She said and I shook my head.

“I don’t know. But I need to talk to mother, she must know something about this.” I said.

“Why would Caroline know something? You are her daughter.” She said.

“She doesn’t care about me! If she did she would have shown concern after I got back from the hospital, but she never showed.”

“She never had me in mind. She loves only her children from Elisha, I am a no body to her. But the most annoying part of all this is that Uncle John agreed to all this.” I said.

“What would he gain? How did he even know Elisha at the first place?” She asked.

“I don’t know, but don’t worry Danielle. We would get to the root of all this. Uncle John, Elisha and Caroline will pay for this.” I said angrily.

“But that doesn’t change the fact that Enoch, my son his dead. How do I tell his father? He isn’t even in the country.” She said in tears.

“We would find a way. I am so sorry Mrs Danielle.” I said hugging her and she met crying on my cloth.

Ma’am Rita

I kept pacing, waiting for John to come in. I was trying so hard not to cry or anything, I had to act very nice if I want to keep him here.

It wasn’t even easy talking to him on the phone and smiling, so as to cover the shock and disappointment in my voice.

After few minutes, I saw John approaching from the other side, through my transparent walls. Immediately I sighted him, I began to breathe very fast.

“Omg John.” I said in tears as he barged into the shop.

“They are gone. They just ran off and….” I said stammering.

“I am so sorry Rita. Those guys won’t go Scot free for this.” He said angrily clenching his fist.

“Do you know them?” I asked.

“I think I do. And I think they want to get to me through you.” He said and I furrowed my Brows.

“Why? You are not a trouble maker.” I said and he sighed holding my hand.

“You aren’t sure Mary. I am on a edge, and I am just so happy you are safe.” He said hugging me and brushing my hair.

“John you love me right?” I asked and he nodded.

“I do Mary. I swear on my parents grave.” He said and then I was happy he brought out another topic.

“Your parents? You never talked about them to me.” I said looking into his eyes. I felt so disgusted but I had to put the act on.

“They were killed terribly. Couldn’t bring myself to remember it.” He said.

“Why are you telling me now?” I asked.

“Because I need you to know that I never meant to hurt you or anyone. I was on the edge, my parents were killed by my boss cos they were debtors and I am still indebted to him.” He explained.

“Who is the boss? I don’t understand anything you are saying John. What is going on?” I asked and he sighed.

“Mary I am leaving. I know I shouldn’t but I have to. I tried to kill Diana.” He said and I moved back in shock.

“You did what??” I asked in terror.

“My life was at stake, and yours. I was sent to you by Elisha to make you fall in love with me, but everything changed. I fell in love with you.”

“My parents were indebted to Elisha, they borrowed money from him when I was young and close for dying.”

“They weren’t able to pay up on time, and Elisha being who is he, killed them and took me in. He began to use me for his works until he brought me to your path.”

“I would have just ran away, but he would hunt me and try to kill me. When I failed at the party, he sent me to do the same poisoning operation again but giving Diana a chocolate, but I guess Enoch took it.” He said.

“Enoch ?? How is he??” I asked in tears.

“He is dead. And it’s all my fault, I should have just said No to him, but I was been a coward. I didn’t want to die, not after I fell in love with you.” He said and in anger I slapped him very hard on his face.

“How dare you! You almost killed my daughter and now Isaac’s brother is dead! Because of you!” I yelled.

“I know I should suffer for this, and that’s why I am telling you all this! Because I love you. I could have just ran away but I couldn’t leave without seeing you. That’s because my feelings for you are real.” He said.

“Enough! Stop! Just stop John! I was imagining a life with you, a great Wedding, adopting a beautiful baby and then to find out you were sent to me?” I said and was about talking when we began to hear the sirens.

“They are hear for me.” He said looking around.

“Yes they are. And this is for breaking my heart.” I said giving him another slap.

“I am happy, that at least I will be free from Elisha.” He said and I began to shed tears.

ISAAC

“Diana you should call mother now.” I said lifting Enoch over my shoulders. I rushed out of the house and Diana followed behind with her phone.

“She would be at the hospital as soon as possible.” She said and I nodded stopping a taxi.

“The nearest hospital.” I said placing Enoch gently at the back before sitting. Diana too the front seat.

I placed his hand on my laps, his shirt was stained with his blood and so was mine. I tried so hard not to cry because I was tired of crying.

“He will be fine Isaac. Your Brother will be okay.” Diana said from the front seat and I nodded smiling, holding his face in mine.

“Diana if anything goes wrong with him, I swear I will kill anyone behind this.” I said in anger and she nodded.

“Don’t worry. Nothing will go wrong.” Diana said.

We got the hospital and I climbed down the car with Enoch in my hand. Diana ran into the hospital to get the nurses, and they came rushing to us with a stretcher.

They placed him on the stretcher and pushed him inside with great speed. I followed behind them and when they got to the Emergency Unit, I was stopped.

“Please let me in.” I said to the nurse staring at Enoch as they pushed him in, putting some tubes on him already.

“You can’t go in.” She said entering the door.

“He is my brother and he needs me right now. I have never being there for him before, please let me be now.” I said and the nurse paused.

“Get a garment. And a glove.” She said pointing to the right side. I saw the robe and gloves, I picked them up and wore then in haste, including the hair cap.

“You are not to go close to him during the operation. Maybe your presence would help him fight stronger.” She said and I nodded.

“Thank you so much Nurse.” I said looking back at Diana.

“Don’t worry, I will be fine here. Go help your brother.” She said smiling and I nodded walking into the ward with the nurse and she drew the curtain over the door.

“Stay here. The lights are dim here, you won’t be seen on time. Please don’t come out of here, I am not supposed to do this but I had to seeing you that way.” She said and I nodded standing at the corner.

“Thank you so much.” I said with my eyes fixed on Enoch. The nurse left my side to Enoch and they began to do their thing.

More tears dropped down my eyes as I watched him lay lifeless and totally unhelpful on the bed. And the most annoying thing is that I don’t know what to do to help. I was as useless as Enoch.

I kept my watery eyes opened staring at them. There was a monitor next to them. It had this sound that I really didn’t understand but the doctors were calm with it. So I guessed it wasn’t a bad thing.

I cleaned my tears and looked up again and this time the doctors were looking restless. I wanted to go to them but then I knew that I would be jeopardizing the work of the nurse that helped me.

I watched him carefully and when the noise from the Monitor changed I was so scared and wanted to grab him and hug him not to go but I was stock, I couldn’t.

Soon, they began to hit his chest with some sort of….. I don’t know. It raised him up severally but his eyes were still shut.

Then the noise of the Monitor changed and this time it wasn’t a beeping down. I sighed in relieve and just when I thought everything was okay, they pulled up the cloth over his face.

“Wait!! What is going on!!! He won’t be able to breathe well. Let him go.” I said running to Enoch but they held me in the process.

“You are not supposed to be here.” The doctors said.

“Does that matter now? The cloth should be at the neck or chest level, not here! He won’t be able to breathe.” I said in tears.

“Get him out of here.” They said and two of them grabbed me and moved me out.

“Let me go! I need to see my brother!” I yelled in tears.

“Isaac.” I heard someone call. I looked back and then I saw Danielle in tears.

“Mother.” I called running to her and hugging her tightly.

“Mother they covered his…. His face… With the sheet…. I told then he won’t breathe well but they…. Chased me outside.” I stammered in tears.

“Isaac calm down. I know you were terrified, but don’t worry. It will be fine.” She said moving my hair backwards and kissing my forehead.

“Where are the parents?” The doctors asked interrupting us.

“I, it’s me.” Mother said.

“Let’s see in my office.” He said and I shook my head.

“No she is not going to the office. I am his brother and this is my girlfriend, we are all family. So let’s get this over with.” I said and mother nodded for him to go on.

“Ma’am your son ate a poisonous chocolate. It was a very concentrated one, half of his inner part was damaged before you brought him here.” He said and tears rolled down our eyes.

“So what happened?” I asked in a shaky voice trying not to freak out.

“We lost him.” He said and I began to gasp trying to process what he said.

“You what?” Mother asked moving down slowly.

“Mom!” I yelled grabbing her.

“She is unconscious Isaac.” Diana said in tears.

“Do something!” I said grabbing the doctor. The nurses Came out and took her into another ward.

“I am going to kill him!” I said running out of the ward.

“Kill who!” Diana asked but I ignored her.

WHEN I FALL INLOVE

When I Fall Inlove-Episode 7

“Sir, Joseph, whatever you do, do not look at me in the eyes when I’m happy like this!” she instructed.

“And why is that?” I scoffed.

“You’ll hate me!” she replied.

“What?” I almost laughed. “Hate you, how? Why?”

“Because you’ll fall in love with me!” she answered

I paused and took a good look at her.

“Fall in love with you?” I scoffed.

She nodded without saying a word, but completely focused on the drumstick she suddenly picked up.

“I get that you’re pretty and all, you are really full of yourself Kathleen. And do you think that’s how love works?” I asked.

“I don’t know, how does love works?” she threw back the question.

“Why are you asking me that, haven’t you been in love before?”

She smiled. “I haven’t, but I heard love is beautiful!”

She’s kidding right.

“wait.. Hold up, you want to tell me, you haven’t fall in love before?” I asked and she nodded.

“So you don’t know what love is?” I almost yelled and she nodded.

Mary’s little hand touched my chest and I started to feed her again.

“If you don’t know what love is then why did you say I would fall in love with you if you didn’t know what love is!” I expound.

“I don’t know sir, Joseph, I’m just saying what I’ve been told!” she replied.

“Okay, for the fact that you haven’t fallen in love with anyone still shocks me.!” I laughed.

“I haven’t!” she stated gulping down an entire bottled water.

“Have you ever liked something so much you wanted to see it or feel it or pepharps a food you want so much?” I tried to make her understand.

“Yes, if that is what you mean, I am definitely falling in love with this sir, Joseph!” Kathleen said showing me the drumstick in her hand.

“Oh okay so you love drumsticks.” I said.

“If that is what it is called, then I definitely love it!” she smiled.

“Okay good, now have you ever loved a person just like the way you love this drumsticks?” I asked and she nodded right away.

Finally making progress. “Okay then, who?” I asked.

“Mary” she replied immediately.

“Mary… You mean my daughter?” I asked to be sure.

“Yes, she’s just beautiful!” Kathleen smiled at my daughter and I sighed.

Somehow I didn’t trust that love.

“Okay then, loving Mary is still totally different from actually loving the opposite sex and who’s way more older than Mary!” I explained.

“I don’t understand what you’re trying to say sir, Joseph!” Kathleen glanced at me, I was trying to catch her gaze but I couldn’t.

“You know what, just forget about it!” I sighed.

She nodded and start to eat, every food she devoured she had this happy expression and I could tell she was really enjoying the food and I haven’t eaten half of mine.

We both remained quiet until Kathleen raised her head up and asked.

“Have you ever fallen in love before sir, Joseph!”

I smiled, “Yeah!”

She gasped. “Really? What was it like?”

“It was beautiful, I loved her so much, the world was so colourful and I was going to die of excitement, every day of my life seeing her I felt complete and blessed!” I smiled recalling the days of Suzanne.

“Whoa!” Kathleen said. “And where is she now?”

“She uhm… she left, she left Mary and I alone!” I sighed, and after feeding Mary I started with my own food.

“Oh wait, she was Mary’s mom right?” Kathleen asked.

“Yeah!”

“And she left you guys, why?” Kathleen sure does ask a lot of questions.

But I answered them all anyway, there’s nothing better than quenching the thirst of curiosity.

“For some reason, The love she had for me faded!” I explained.

“Love fades?” she gasped.

“For some people it does, for some it lasts forever.” I expound.

“Oh now I understand, so she left you guys just like that, her love faded from Mary’s side too. I hope she never finds happiness!” Kathleen stated and I dropped my fork and looked up at her.

“Do not say that! Just because she left Mary and I doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be happy, Mary and I are happy without her, she deserves to be happy too!” I half yelled.

Kathleen laughed. “Sir, Joseph, studying you haven’t been so bad. But no matter how hard you try to follow the negativity of life, you’re just so nice, you’re too nice, very nice, you can’t even say no!”

“Being a bad person will take you nowhere!” I stated.

“Whatever, but I’ve said what I said, and trust me it is happening right now, she will never find happiness!” Kathleen gave a strange smile.

“Can you stop saying that!” I yelled.

She rolled her eyes “Sir, Joseph, I don’t like it when you yell, and besides there are some people you need to be the good guy for and the bad guy for.! You can’t just be the good guy for everyone!”

I scoffed. “Oh really, and with me you’re totally being the bad guy right?”

“Bad guy?” she repeated and laughed. “Sir, Joseph I am not just being a good guy to you, I am being the nicest guy to you and nice is different than good.”

“Okay, if this is your good side, then I guess your bad side must be worse!” I huffed.

Kathleen glanced at me and smiled.

“I don’t want you to ever see my bad side. You can’t see it, you won’t be able to see it, cause you have to make me pretty mad to see my bad side. But you’re way too nice to make someone mad!” she saidand continued to eat.

“Aren’t you full?” I suddenly asked.

“Full of what?” she asked.

“Food, you’ve been eating non stop, I had no idea girls eat this much like you!” I stated.

“I guess I just like the foods here!” she smiled.

I noticed Mary had fallen asleep in my arms and I smiled.

I dropped my fork, ready to go drop Mary on the bed when Kathleen stood up.

“Don’t, worry sir, Joseph, I’ll drop her in the room for you, you can relax and eat!” Kathleen offered taking Mary from me.

“Oh, thanks!” I said, kind of speechless by her kindness.

I watched her cuddle Mary in her arms AndaSeea@0 she walked away and into my room to lay down Mary’s sleeping body.

Kathleen came back to the living room and sat down in front of me to continue eating again.

.

We were both done with dinner, and no matter how she pleaded to do the dishes, I made it clear to her that she was just a guest and I did the dishes myself.

It was getting late and yet again she didn’t want to leave. Mary woke up that evening crying and before I could even attend to my daughter, Kathleen beat me to it.

I walked into the room to see Mary in her hand, Mary was quiet, though I was glad I said.

“Are you trying to steal my child from me?”

“is that what it looks like I’m trying to do?” she threw back the question.

“Seems like it!” I Joked.

I took Mary from her and thanked her.

“Thank you for today, it’s getting dark, you should leave!” I said in the most polite way.

She sighed. “Fine! I’m leaving!”

She walked to the door, paused and turned to me. “Do you want me to babysit Mary again tomorrow?”

“No” I shook my head. “I will be home all day, so there’s no need for a babysitter!” I stated.

She smiled “Okay then, sir Joseph!” she said and with a little wave at Mary she left.

*

That night, I took a night bath, gave Mary hers too, read her bedtime story that led the two of us to sleep.

–

The next morning I was woken up by Mary’s cry.

I turned to the side of the bed to see Mary in full tears, her face red, her mouth, wide open that let’s out her scream.

I quickly let her into my arms and pat her back.

“Shh… it’s okay Mary” I said standing up.

I didn’t know what happened or why she started crying all of a sudden.

But as I pat her back and consoled her, she didn’t stop crying.

Did she have a bad dream or what? Do babies even dream.

I walked around the house to get her to move and stop crying but she wouldn’t stop crying.

I opened the exit door and walked out of the house, it was just 6:59am the sun wasn’t up at that time.

Immediately we got outside the house Mary stopped crying.

“Oh so you wanted a little bit of nature!” I smiled seeing as she looked around her environment.

She looked at the lake in front of our house.

Looked at the little grass that grew around our house and where we stood.

“Like what you see?” I asked and touched her nose and she gave a cute smile.

“Sir, Joseph!” I heard Kathleen’s too familiar voice behind me and I turned to see her walking close to me.

What a beaut!.

Her black hair was at her shoulder and her skin was very smooth, the blue dress she wore had no sleeve and it exposed her arms.

“What are you and Mary doing outside?” she asked as she got close to us.

“Taking a little bit of natural air!” I replied.

“Oh okay!” she smiled.

“You cut your hair!” I tell her.

“Yes, I took your advice, though my friends said it looked horrible.!” she sighed.

I shook my head. “It looks beautiful, it really suits you!” I said and she gasped.

“Really? It does?”.

“Yeah it does!” I replied.

“Sir, Joseph, the sun will be out soon, why don’t we head inside!” Kathleen said after a brief moment of silent.

She was standing beside me and I turned to her.

“And it will be a morning sun, morning sun is very good for the body, tell me now, do you have a sun skin allergy?” I asked.

She laughed. “Well kind of!”

“Oh, okay then we’ll head inside if that’s the case!” I said.

Kathleen breathed out a sigh of relief as I made a turn to head inside.

Kathleen took Mary from me as we all head inside and I shook my head.

She really likes Mary.

“Why are you here so early anyways, don’t you have things you do or places to go?” I asked as we made it into the living room.

“No, I’m just home all day, so glad i found out about this place, now I can spend my free time here!” she stated.

“My home isn’t a free time place, you know!” I stated.

“Well all I know is, your home is the best! Nobody’s treated me the way you have!” she said sitting down on the couch and placing Mary on her lap.

“I’m sure I’ve treated you just like others have treated you.!” I said.

“Nope, they were all mean and I don’t want to talk about it!” Kathleen said.

“Okay, since we’re both awake Mary needs her bath now!” I said, taking Mary from Kathleen.

As I head to the bathroom Kathleen trailed behind me.

I paused and turned to her, my eyes almost caught hers but she looked away immediately.

“Where are you going?” I asked.

“To watch Mary have her bath!” Kathleen replied!” I said.

“But i don’t want to be a guest!” she sighed.

“What?” I laughed. “and you want to be a what? You can’t be more than a guest Kathleen!”

“that was mean!” Kathleen huffed.

I felt Kathleen’s glare at me and I turned to look at her.

She had a glare on me but you could tell she was playfully glaring.

We made an eye contact as she failed to not look away and so did I and there again I felt that inner shock in my body. It made me flinch on the outside and she smirked before walking away.

What the hell.

MORENIKEJI.

Morenikeji-Episode 2

Written By Amah’s Heart.

I want a big party as i’m about to turn thirty. I wish there is a stable man around maybe I will be looking forward to receiving an engagement ring too.

I really want the man for me just like Dammi got her Chike and just like one of my friend who is already married now. We call her Uzo, she got married to Tobi. I heard that she is already pregnant and expecting her first child.

What is really happening to me, what kind of bad luck is this.

Who am I even fooling? There is no way I can possibly find a well to do guy that will fit into my description before 14th of next month.

I remember there was a time Dammi’s boyfriend took us out.

No, it was twice not once and it was one of the most amazing and expensive place on earth.

That was one of the time in my life I felt alive…so much alive.

A place were the big boys and pretty ladies hang out.

People like myself. They call it unique pleasure lounge and it feels like it’s name.

I know my pockets are running empty, I don’t have a car or wardrobes filled with expensive wears, bags or shoes.

My rent just expired last week and very soon that shrewd looking landlady will start knocking on my door to ask for her money.

I have many things on my sleeve combined with the fact that I’m going to be turning thirty by next month.

Is this life really worth living?

The more I struggle to get to the top the more I find myself still crawling on the bottom.

The top is still unrealistic and my mates are running ahead of me.

By weekend, I will gather up the little money I have at hand and go and call an Uber driver who will take me to unique pleasure lounge.

I want to chill out, hang out with those that matters.

Some celebrities are mostly seen hanging out with babes there.

Is a very lively place to be and I can’t be boring myself to death in this lone house.

I want to be seen in the cycle of the rich and famous, who knows…I might get lucky and a good looking man in face and pocket also outgoing gentle man may notice me.

And with this thought of mine I began counting days till weekend.

Thursday gradually came but instead of running fast the days became too slow.

I couldn’t do anything than to watch and wait.

Finally, Saturday arrived.

I waited for evening to come before getting ready.

The cloth I planned on wearing was already assembled on my mind, oh, the jewelries were top notch.

All gold and it will make me outstanding. All thanks to Lukemon.

the shoe and mini Dina luby bag that I bought expensive when I was dating Lukemon, the jewelry dealer.

I missed Lukemon.

Let me tell you a short story about Lukemon the fat nose.

He accused me of stealing some of his jewelry and I denied it. Because I wasn’t the one. I know I can be too forward but believe me when I say I didn’t do a thing.

I Know he gave me a lot of expensive things, including fine jewelries but I needed more.

I saw two beautiful one that I like so much.

I asked him to give me but he refused.

I kept pestering him for it but he still refused and gave his reason which I took and decide not to trouble him again.

I have made a joke to him earlier before the jewelries got missing.

I told him that if he doesn’t give them to me I may send a rat to sneak it away.

We both laugh over the joke.

I was surprised when he called me one faithful morning asking me to return the stolen items.

I told him I wasn’t the one but he didn’t believe me.

He even threaten to involve the police if I don’t return the missing expensive jewelries.

I wasn’t afraid of his threats. I asked him to go ahead because I was innocent.

I even told him to ask his staffs. Is probably one of them that took it or a customer but he insisted that I was the one.

Well, that was how we went separate ways.

He called me names like golddigger, a lying slot and many other horrifying name.

I was so pained that I received such insult from a man. The most painful part was mainly because I was innocent of the whole accusations.

If I have taken those items I wouldn’t have mind being called anything but I didn’t.

Well, I also gave him his own dose of medicine as a send off.

A whole load, well packaged insult I sent right after him.

I moved on with my Life.

After three months, he started calling to inform me that it was one of his staff that stole it.

He caught her on camera stealing and she confessed stealing the said jewelries that I was accused off.

He apologized and was ready to make it up to me.

You can’t insult me the way you did and expected me to return back to your arm.

I Know I have bills to pay and I know Lukemon will pamper me very well this time after My vindication.

But I still have my pride and dignity.

The way he insulted me is beyond repair and “I’m sorry” note that he was giving me can’t remedy the damages.

I told him that I had forgiven him and forgotten the whole chaotic drama but is actually a lie.

I might have forgiven but who will forget such a huge accusations that was labelled down your throat.

That was how the whole thing ended with Lukemon.

I had many gifts and jewelry during his regime and is still serving me and will continue to serve me until i have no use for it again.

I got ready as I planned. I made sure everything I wore was classy.

I took time to apply my makeup and arrange my hair.

I spray my Franklin perfume.

It has one of the nicest fragrance that I have ever come across.

It was a gift from one of my dear friend and ever since then I have been pinching it.

If I’m not going anywhere I won’t spray it at all and that was how it lasted for me till now.

The good part is that it last for so long on my body before fading off.

After spraying it, I checked the remaining one and it was remaining just small.

It pained me but I understand the part that it can’t last forever.

I checked myself all over again before leaving.

My Uber was already waiting outside as I stepped out.

Funny enough the Uber gave me a nice compliment on my looks and dressing.

As I arrived at the unique pleasure lounge, I noticed some guys standing beside their cars.

Either on phone, talking with a woman or with their follow guys.

I was happy that the Uber I took was neat and is a fine car.

They will probably assume is my car and my driver dropped me off which is not a bad assumption at all.

I can’t possibly dress up like I did, with my long heels and start jumping bike,

That will be too embarrassing.

I did what I feel is the best for me and I’m feeling very proud of myself.

I made sure that every step count as I launched my Gucci black bender eye shade on.

I can feel their eyes behind my back as I walked in majestically.

The place was a little crowded but I know I can not dress up like this and one rich and famous won’t notice me.

I sat at the bar side, opposite the bartender sipping my two shot of drink

Something I can afford. I don’t want to get my hopes high and get disappointed.

I’m not the only good looking lady sitting idle and waiting for a catch.

I have gotten my hopes high in two occasions, I don’t want to make it third.

I will just sit here and sip my drink slowly but with a pride like that of peacock as if I do not care about anybody.

Deep down I care and I’m praying to the God of luck to favor me with a good looking man. Both in looks and in pocket.

I will sit and pretend to be fine and act like I can buy the entire building with everyone in it.

Despite how classy I was looking, the only money with me is my transportation back home just in case my whole plans fails.

It happens but I’m hoping that I will not return home the same way I left.

I hope God will be kind enough to listen.

I want a fine looking man like Chike.

But where are the men I dressed to kill for?

Why are they not approaching me and checking me out.

Wait a minute, did they think I came with a man or maybe I have a boyfriend?

Why am I still sitting alone with this single drink when I should be taking like four to six shots by now with the way I look.

“Hellooooo beauty…”

Oh thanks goodness! somebody finally got the courage to approach me.

I will pretend like I did not hear him or even know that he was standing beside me with the finest cologne ever.

“Pretty lady, is the sit beside you vacant…can I join you?

He said again while moving closer.

Why does he sound familiar.

What do I care, let me just check out his looks before asking him to siiii….

“Chike!!

As I looked up from my high sit, I almost screamed out my shock.

I thanks the universe that I didn’t fall off from my chair.

Lo and behold it was the devil himself.

Yes, Chike. It was Chike… Dammi’s man.

He was looking lavishing and I couldn’t help but stare with pleasure.

He was smiling from ear to ear as he took a seat beside me.

“Nike..I sighted you from a distance and knew you are the one. You are looking good babe. What are you doing here all by yourself…?

Could this be a mere coincidence?

I thought within myself.

Oh mine!

Could this be my own Chike in a familiar body or is it Dammi’s Chike?

©️Authoress Ti Fe

DIANA

“What made you follow your mom here?” I asked looking at Enoch. I really didn’t trust all he said. A devil can’t just change over night.

“I had a change of heart. Mom talked to me last night.” He said and I looked at Mrs Danielle who was staring at us.

She smiled as I looked at her and I shifted my gaze to that of Enoch.

“You can’t fool me Enoch. One can’t just wake up the next day to have a pure heart.” I said and he smiled making me a little nervous.

“I know I have been a d**k to you and Isaac Diana. But I will try to change, I just feel bad doing all those things to you.” He said and I narrowed my eyes looking at him. It was very weird.

“Okay. Let’s see.” I said and he nodded smiling.

“So mom. Do you know Mrs Danielle?” I asked as I noticed they kept stealing glances of each other as Enoch and I talked.

“Oh yes. No.” They both chorused leaving me in confusion.

“Mother replied no, while Mrs Danielle said yes. Can I know what is going on?” I asked furrowing my brows.

“We were friends. Not anymore.” Mother said and I looked at Danielle.

“Don’t you think it’s time to forgive each other Caroline? You paid me back in the most painful way. Can’t we just end this at once?” Mrs Danielle asked.

“Of course not. You’re the cause of all this.” Mother replied and I looked at them like they were crazy.

“Mom what’s going on?” I asked Aunt Rita who just stared at the both of them.

“Can’t you just stop the drama till later? Diana is sick.” Mom said and they looked away.

“Mom do you know anything about these?” I asked and she sighed holding my hand.

“Diana you should rest now. We will leave.” Mom said and mother stood up storming out of the ward.

Mrs Danielle and Enoch also walked out.

“Mom.” I called and she smiled.

“Ignore them. Best friends drama.” She said and I was shocked.

“They were best friends?” I asked and she nodded heading out of the ward leaving me to my thoughts.

What could have happened? Why do they hate themselves so much now?

ISAAC

They all came out of the ward and I saw anger on Mrs Danielle face, and also that of Mrs Caroline.

“What happened?” I asked and they all went silent.

“What Happened?” I asked walking into the ward fearfully to see Diana staring at the ceiling.

I sighed in relieve when I saw she was still fine.

“What happened with the two mothers?” I asked sitting next to her.

“I really don’t know but I wish to know. Mom said they were best friends and then I guess something happened and they hated each other.” She said and Immediately I recalled what Danielle told me at the party.

“Now I get it.” I said.

“What?” She asked.

“Danielle said they were pretty close before, but then your mother did something that didn’t seem right to her, and then they became enemies.” I said and she sighed.

“What do you think mother could have done? I need to find out.” She said and I nodded.

“I will do that. All you need to do is rest Diana. You shouldn’t worry about adult problems.” I said and she laughed.

“I am glad you are here now.” She said and I planted a kiss on her lips.

“I should start the investigation job again.” I said and she shook her head. I walked out of the ward and then I heard Mom talking so I waited to eavesdrop.

“Can’t you at least act matured in front of the children? Caroline you have done enough havoc to Diana, and I bet when she hears this she would never ever like you.” Mom said and I furrowed my brows.

“What is she doing here in the first place? Showing concern after destroying my plans?” Mrs Caroline asked.

“Your selfish plans Caro. I did the right thing by telling Jacob. You were just using him, I never told you to let go of your daughter.” Danielle said.

“It’s because of you I had to let her go. If you didn’t run your mouth, I would still have my daughter with me. And Elisha wouldn’t hate my daughter.” Caroline said.

“At least you paid me back with evil. You made my life miserable.” Danielle said in a shaky voice.

“Enough both of you! You are still in the hope. Can’t you say all these when you get home? This is the last thing Diana wants to hear right now.” Mom said and they became all silent.

I then opened the door and walked out. Immediately they saw me, they put on a fake smile. Danielle had tears in her eyes but she quickly cleaned it off.

“Are you okay?” I asked and they nodded very fast.

“Yes we are. You know, adult issues.” Mom said and I nodded walking away.

“I need to understand all those things I heard. And I am sure Danielle will tell me everything. I need to meet her alone.” I thought.

On The Lioness Tail – Episode24

Writen By Amah’s Heart.

He caught her up before she could get to her horse

She slapped his hand off and pulled out her sword, pointed it towards him.

“Kaya… please listen to me first…

She lowered her sword and took a foot closer to him.

“How long…?

Yuri looked at her confused. He didn’t understand the question.

“I said how long have you been bedding your slave?

He breathed deeply.

“…Answer the question now!

She screamed at him.

“Kaya…Kaya…is about three times. But that was before I met you. I don’t touch a woman when I’m going to war or some other important task but whenever I return… Leni made herself available for me to ease off. Kaya…ever since our path crossed I have never being with another woman not until today. You are meant to marry as a virgin and I totaly respected that and has never demanded anything awkward from you. I have never touched a woman ever since the gods brought you into my life. I did nothing with Leni today… except for a kiss…I can swear on my sword.

Kaya stood, anger rising as she stared at him. She put back her sword.

Yuri made an attempt to touch her, she drew her sword angrily and hit him right on the shoulder where he had a deep cut during the arena fight.

Yuri winced in serious pain, he staggered back as fresh blood began to run down from his shoulder.

“If you ever touch me again with your filthy hand, I will harvest your manhood from it’s root and throw it to the dogs to feast on. Keep your distance and I don’t want to see you in Zukumo kingdom Yuri…

She put back her sword, moved closer to him and began to speak calmly.

“….i went too hot on you back at the arena. I didn’t calculate my words and spoke angrily because I did not want any further blood shed. All I wanted was peace and for the whole fight to end. You fought so well Yuri and I made me very proud, deep down I began thanking the gods for blessing me with your special kind. Your type is rare and I wanted you more than ever…

Yuri swallowed hard, he didn’t know where the talk was heading to. He gasped out hoping it will end well. Kaya continued.

… When you left angrily, I decided to come after you and apologies and also shower you your well deserved praise which I left out back during our misunderstanding. My parents gave their permission because they also cared about you. But getting here only for you to surprise me instead. How can you even have appetite to bed a woman with all this injuries on your body?

He didn’t utter a word or try to reply her.

Kaya turned and moved towards her horse when Yuri didn’t say anything.

Yuri bit his lips while sucking through the pain that Kaya brought back to live.

He did not even know what to say or do to pacify her.

“What do you want me to do? I will sell Leni off, I will travel down to abyss, the darkest place on earth for your sake, I will even return back to the lioness cave, accept any fight challenge, do anything for you Kaya. Please…all I ask is for you to forgive me. I have wronged you… I’m sorry Kaya.

“If you want to prove anything to me start by bringing me the head of your slave girl while I wait.

Yuri looked at her stunned. Kaya wanted Leni’s head? He has to kill Leni and bring her head to Kaya in order to prove how much he loves her.

He looked on, speechless and hoping Kaya was only joking but she shouted it like a command again.

Yuri swallowed hard, took few steps back.

Leni has done no wrong that is deserving of death except that she never hide the truth of wanting him.

Those cold and scary night that he kept dreaming of war and dead men rising to attack him in a battle, Leni kept him warm and her mare touch sent sweet sensation all over his spine.

“Kaya… please. I have known you to be loving and compassionate.. kindly reconsider your request. I will sell Leni, asked other slave to flog her until her flesh falls off, I will have her tortured if you want but killing a vulnerable woman who has no deep offense is not my kind of person.

Kaya didn’t say anything as they stared at each other. Heart beating thunderously.

Yuri later said.

“…. alright..I will have another do it if you want. Her head will be brought to you if that will make you happy…

Kaya curved a smile and said.

“Nobody else, except you. You have to be the one to bring me her head. Whatever you have to do all I want to see is her head while I wait… the day is growing dark. I don’t have much time to waste here. Leni’s head is all I asked for and want it now. I have an idea… bring Leni here, right in my presence and cut off her head. I want to watch it happen and enjoy every show of it. You wanted to cut off your opponent arm and me stopping you from such a barbaric act was my only offence that brought us to this stage. Since you enjoys a show of human blood then I’m your guest this time. you claims to love me then do my bidding without further delay.

Yuri breathed deeply before nodding.

“Give me a little time…i..hmmm…I will be back with your request.

He turned and asked a servant to fetch Leni.

And in no time Leni was standing before Kaya and Yuri.

“Go ahead and cut off her head.

Kaya barked.

Leni hearing that fell to her knees. Crying and begging Kaya. She lay at Kaya’s leg with head bowed pleading seriously.

Kaya kicked her away and asked Yuri to cut her head off.

Yuri asked that his sword be brought to him and a servant came with it and handed it over to him with a bow before running off.

Leni screamed out in terror. Other servants came out to watch the horrific scene that was about to happen.

Yuri grabbed Leni by the hair and pulled her to her knees, he brought out his sword.

Leni shut her eyes and did not stop begging Kaya but immediately she saw her master brings out sword to slaughter her she went numb.

Only tears could be seen running down her face.

She has mistaken her master’s passion in bed for love. When she first saw the fierce looking yet beautiful mistress with him she knows she was trouble and has gone to plead to her to leave Yuri alone. One of the worst mistakes of her life.

When her master retuned earlier wounded, it was her chance to show how much she had missed his touch, the sweet taste of his mouth and warmth of his body. She has yawn for him for so long and decided to make good use of the opportunity.

She never knew it will lead to her death.

She wish for another chance to live.

A chance she will never misuse but it seems that such will never be hers again.

She remained still, waiting for whatever that will come next.

Yuri swallowed hard severally before raising his sword high.

Some of the slaves covered their eyes.

As he was about to lower his sword Kaya raised her hand, ordering him to stop.

“Let her go. You have proven your stupid point which means nothing to me. I don’t want you still…stay away from me Yuri. You are a harden man…

Yuri left Leni, she laid facedown crying and thanking Kaya.

She later scrambled away before Kaya will change her mind.

Kaya saddled her horse and was about to leave but Yuri blocked the way.

He beat his chest hard as more blood fell off from his wounded body, Yuri didn’t care about the pain or the blood.

“You have to run me over Kaya for you to be able to pass. My name is Yuri, the greatest worrior in eleven kingdoms. I have never loved or cared for a woman like I loved you and I won’t let you hurt me this way. You can’t leave me Kaya…no. I will never let go of you. Except you never loved me. You pointed a sword at me at the arena, challenging me to a fight… All I wanted was to fight and prove how deeply i loved you. I was ready to fight any man that tries to challenge that fact… I was emotionally wounded when you hit a sword out of my hand and dares me to go after my opponent that cut my body open and could have killed me if the gods has allowed it. Nobody born of a woman dares do what you did to me in a battle ground. I saw you speaking to prince Dhaki the man who caused all of this and i thought he was trying to win you over with his lullaby. I was angry for many reasons and returned home. I wasn’t thinking right and wasn’t in a good frame of mind when Leni came in. I do not blame anyone for my wrongs…I should have asked her to leave me alone but i didn’t. I wanted to forget what you did to me…get my mind together before coming back to Zukumo. I deeply apologies Kaya… please…for the sake of the gods… forgive me. Be merciful and don’t count on my wrongs…I will never in my life time wrong you again. Kaya, don’t leave me I beg you. I’m incomplete without you. But if you insist in leaving then run me over with your horse, kill me with your own hands, put a sword to my heart so that I will stop living…that is the only way I will be able to forget you…

Kaya made her horse to jump over Yuri who was shocked at Kaya’s level of energy.

She rode off quickly and as fast as she could.

She arrived Zukumo late. her father and mother were still up.

“How did it go? We got so worry for unknown reason and decided to wait up hoping you will return. Are you okay…

Chief Dre asked.

Kaya nodded.

“I’m alright father. I want to wash off and head to bed. My head is pounding…I need to rest.

Opa spoke.

“Kaya… what happened. You looked beaten. Is about the fight challenge or did Yuri upset you..

“No, is about me mother. I don’t know or understand the gods anymore. Maybe the fight shouldn’t have happened in the first place, or probably Yuri isn’t the right one. I just don’t know the ways of the gods or what exactly they mean with the signs they showed me. I’m exhausted from thinking…hmm! But i will be alright.

Chief Dre gasped out.

“I’m sorry Kaya…I don’t know what exactly you are passing through but the gods are wise and never makes mistake. They chosed you because they know you are the only one capable of overcoming any challenge thrown at you. They made you strong from the womb. I’m certain you will scale through. You will make a great leader for the people of Zukumo and beyond. I’m sorry that I didn’t stop the fight when the heat was on…I saw how uncomfortable you were. The crowd seems to be having the best moment and I wanted to let everyone enjoy the show because it was obvious Yuri was highly favored by the gods. I’m sorry Kaya. But remember… Yuri fought hard for you because he loves you…I know Dhaki too tries to show off his skills but Yuri has the gods favor for reasons i don’t know. If you don’t want Yuri…is okay. I’m still alive and will make sure you are happy and make the right choice for a husband. Since you are not sure of the present man…Yuri, should we start another search for a suitor ..by making announcement and taking messages around kingdoms in this coming week?

Kaya wasn’t sure of what to reply her father.

She was tired and needed to rest.

But what if she misinterpreted the gods riddle concerning a man who’s finger was eaten by the beast?

What if Yuri isn’t the one they referred to?

“Alright father!

That was her only reply as she bid them goodnight.

After few days, another search for a suitor began.

Messages were sent out to different Kingdoms and different great men started coming to see if they will be qualified.

Kaya wasn’t relaxed or happy even as fine, wealthy men came to seek her hand in marriage.

She didn’t find any of them appealing.

More men continued to come.

“Why is there another search for suitor? What happened to Yuri? That young man appears to be the chosen one and you were quiet taken by him. What is the problem?

Bambira asked Kaya

Kaya didn’t want to tell anybody about Yuri but she always feels comfortable talking to her grandmother concerning anything.

“Yuri…I caught him bedding his beautiful slave girl. Grandma Bambi…she was right in his chamber naked and they were entangled together… right in his chamber…

She quickly looked away so that her grandmother won’t see her troubled face.

Bambira saw she was trying hard to blink back tears

“Is okay to cry. You can’t be strong all the time my child. Tears doesn’t make you weak rather it refine our strength and shows that we’re still human. Let it out. You loved him right…?

Kaya for the very first time released herself and allowed the tears to flow freely.

She wiped her eyes.

“Grandma…I didn’t realize how much…I loved him until I saw him with another woman. Is a scene that I can’t wish for my enemy. Yuri broke me into pieces. I can’t stand him or bear him touching me. It will disgust me to the marrow. I will choose a suitor soon, I just haven’t found any one who is worthy of that yet. I will be fine…I hate unnecessary emotions caused by Yuri. I just can’t get him off my head…I feel so messed up. I can’t believe I’m crying over a man…

“Maybe you should forgive him and stop beating yourself so hard. I’m sorry that he hurt you. I’m not taking side with him but Yuri is a strong willed man who loves you passionately. I don’t know the reason why he fell into another woman’s arm. men like Yuri maybe egoistic but they can stoop low when their heart becomes vulnerable. I saw you child…i saw the way you jumped into the fighting ground and pointed a sword towards Yuri. I don’t know what he said or did that brought about such ill actions but it was clear he left angrily because of what you did. And ever since then you have been sad and none of the new fine suitor is appealing to you. Is either Yuri or you chose another. A choice have to be made sooner or later.

Kaya was silent as the grandmother was talking.

She later explained to her grandmother how she realized her wrongs and decided to go and apologies only to catch him in the arm of his naked slave girl.

Bambira spoke softly yet a word of wisdom only the old can give.

The last day came for her to finally make her choice.

Many men from different kingdom gathered waiting for Kaya.

Kaya saw Dhaki among the new suitors.

pulled him aside and began to question him on why he came.

“I came back again after getting another message that the princess of Zukumo kingdom, chief Dre’s daughter. princess Kaya is in search for a suitor. What of Yuri… you rejected me because of him. Did he hurt you?… you found out he isn’t right for you? I came back before another man will claim what is mine. Kaya…we are meant to be can’t you see? No man will love you like I do or be able to make a great leader like I will. I cherish you, you are like the first beat of the rain in autumn. The loveliest among all. You have the strength of many men, the wisdom of the old and the beauty like the purest sun. Your smile echos like the…

Somebody spoke behind them.

They turned at the same time and shock at who they were staring at.

The almighty Yuri looked back at prince Dhaki with a big frown on his face.

“I thought I beat you and your men during the fight challenge and you promised to stay away from Kaya .A royalty was meant to keep his every word… what sort of a man are you that breaks his promise..? Your poet sound like an over used line… why not get something doing with your life?

A disappointed Dhaki faced Yuri.

“Jagwa died after two days. He didn’t survive the sword to his heart. I wish you were the one dead and forgotten. You have become a big threat to me and the love of my life. You don’t deserve her which maybe why she rejected you in the first place… Kaya loves me and can never love you… never. Mark my words… you are mean, wicked and self centered and do not know how to love a woman. You can’t even sing a lovely poem to her. You can’t make a good leader neither will Kaya ever chose you. She will never be yours let’s watch and see….

Kaya interrupted Dhaki.

“That’s enough. Please excuse me prince Dhaki…I want to speak to Yuri in private.

Dhaki later left while Kaya waited until he was gone before raising a hand to strike Yuri.

“I warned you that I don’t want to see you in Zukumo. What are you doing here?

“I heard the news of you searching for a suitable man to marry and came as every other man here asking for your hand in marriage. I want to start all over Kaya. I was going straight to see your father when I saw you talking to Dhaki. If you want me dead then rejecting me is the fastest way to kill me because my life isn’t mine ever since you left me. I brought a small poisoned dagger knife… just in case you decide to kill me. I will rather die in Zukumo kingdom than back at Fiji, I will be glad to die in the hand of the only woman I ever loved… Kaya.

Kaya rolled her eyes as Yuri presented her with a small dagger.

“…is the fastest way to kill me. Take it and dig it to my heart because I’m not living Zukumo kingdom until you have truly forgiven me. Kaya…!

Yuri swallowed hard as he urged her to take the knife but she didn’t.

“If you are looking for who to kill you then go somewhere else and search. Zukumo soil is not for blood shed. And if you think you can use this format and return back to my life then you are a joker. I’m done with you Yuri…I don’t hate you. I forgive you outrightly but don’t want to have anything intimate with you. I’m still nursing my heart from the shock you gave me, there’s no place for you in it again…

She made attempt to walk away but Yuri stopped her.

“Is this how you are going to rule Zukumo because a ruler is meant to be compassionate and forgive truly. Is obvious you haven’t forgiven me Kaya. Do you want prince Dhaki or one of those men out there? Your reason for wanting Dhaki is it because of his enticing poet… I can’t compose like him but the only poet I can think off right now is “take this dagger, gurge out my heart and throw it to the dust because I can’t breathe well without you…I don’t know if any of that makes sense…I..I..

Kaya suddenly started laughing, a surprised Yuri paused and saw that it was a real laughter, she wasn’t being sarcastic.

“Your line of poet sound so horrible. Dhaki may be far better with that. Swallow your pride and go so that he can tutor you. Take lessons from him that you can use to woe your next woman.

She said it calmly and not in an angry way.

Yuri smiled. He stammered a little then kept quiet.

Kaya looked into his eyes for the first time since they started the conversation sending sensation all over his body.

Yuri moved uncomfortably. Not knowing what to say.

“I have miss you.

She finally admitted out loud shocking Yuri who stammered again. He wish she knew how much her absence within few weeks had caused him.

“I love you so much Kaya, beyond words can say. I thought I will never see you again…

Kaya moved closer to him and said.

“I was very angry with you Yuri and didn’t want to see you ever again. But seeing you now is a relief but don’t get your hopes up because that doesn’t mean that you stand a chance..

Yuri gently drew her to himself before she could speak further, she didn’t reject rather she wrapped her hand around him. Holding him tight.

He kissed her forehead while holding onto her like his life depends on it.

Somebody cleared throat loudly close to them

Kaya quickly loosen up from Yuri.

It was Bambira, her grandmother.

Kaya went to her and whispered something into her ears making the elderly woman to smile.

“Your father is asking of you. I decided to stretch my old legs in search of you. Prince Dhaki is with your father, and other suitors too. I guess is time to finally pick a husband.

Bambira looked at Yuri, who bowed his head in greeting.

She gently tapped his shoulder. She took Kaya by the hand and left, Yuri followed behind.

When Kaya got to where everyone was gathered, the men turned to face her. Yuri stood watching. Kaya looked over at Dhaki smiling.

Dhaki retuned the smile with full force and knew that Kaya probably wants him.

“I don’t think the search for a suitor should continue. Every man should return to his kingdom, I have already made my choice which will stand from this day onward. I have a big wedding to plan…

Yuri looked at her puzzled wondering what she was talking about. Did he mistake her words, hug, and her actions. he thought he had a chance even though she has made it clear initially? Who did Kaya chose to be her husband? What is he supposed to do now… return to Fiji and then what next? His heart was beating uncontrollable. He looked over at a happy Dhaki then back at Kaya who was smiling at his horrible dance.

Other men on the same quest dropped their kind wishes to her as they turned to leave.

Dhaki laughed out loud. He didn’t need to be told that Kaya has chosen him.

Kaya didn’t mention any man’s name but he knew she chosed him by her action.

He laughed very loud so that Yuri can hear him and crawl up in shame. He was throwing a dance step around Kaya who stood watching him with a curved smile on her lips.

She looked over at Yuri who looked away broken.

Yuri wish he can talk to somebody who will plead on his behalf for Kaya to reconsider him but it already late.

Kaya hates him and will never be his.

His life is shattered in dust because of a horrible mistake.

A grown man like him can’t be seen crying. Definitely not right here because all he wanted to do is to wail out his soul.

Lossing Kaya was like loosing everything he ever valued. He may never be able to get over it.

He turned like other men, not knowing where exactly to go or what to do.

Yuri noticed Bambira watching him, he didn’t want the elderly woman to mistake his sad face, Yuri tries to smile towards her but he couldn’t cancel his sad demeanor

He will walk round Zukumo kingdom and pass a night somewhere around, probably Uzan will offer him a shelter. He just wanted to be close to Kaya. He may spend few days before finally returning to Fiji.

As he made attempt to leave, someone called his name.

It wasn’t Bambira who was still watching him but Kaya herself.

He turned back and looked at her, she was walking towards him.

Maybe she wants to give him either insult or a final goodbye words.

Whichever one that comes he deserves it.
