    CASSANDRA
    Cassandra-Episode 34




    ‘’Yes oo, he came into my room as soon as you left. I tried talking some sense into him but it turned into a fight. He grabbed my bag, searched it and took all the money you gave me. I don’t just know what to do right now. I’m finished’’ she cried over the phone.

    ‘’calm down. I will call you later. I’m still driving’’ I stammered and hung up, shaking with rage as i managed to control my car which i really had a hard time driving as my mind was now occupied with many thoughts.

    I really just didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t even think properly.
    ‘’surely the little rascal is pushing me. But what exactly do I do to stop him. What do I do?. Gosh’’ I wondered miserably.

    It really was with a confused heart that I sought out Chinedu’s help later in the day when he showed up at my shop. As a university graduate I felt he had the experience and knowledge to guide me in dealing with the campus rascal. I hid nothing as i told him everything.

    ‘’seriously, this is a hard nut to crack . Dealing with a cultist isn’t an easy thing and I just can’t advice you to leave Cassandra because of the threat. What makes you a man then?’’ he breathed while I nodded in agreement.

    ‘’it’s not as if I’m fully in support of your relationship with Cassandra but as a friend I have to support your decision. You chose Cassandra and I respect that. So I believe we are in this together’’ he added softly.

    ‘’but to be truthful I think there is nothing much you can do to that boy. You cant arrest him with the police because you live very far from the school and getting to him will be very hard, moreover guys like him are good at disappearing. The only solution I can see is to get Cassandra to report him to the school security but I doubt if she can do it because we really don’t know how sincere she is or even if she has the courage to do it’’ he said intelligently.

    ‘’the dude even threatened to deal with my sister, can you imagine’’ I added sadly.

    ‘’well I really don’t think he will go that far. No he won’t risk it. You are lucky you are not a student. That guy would have dealt with you in his hostel’’ he retorted with a short laugh while I shrugged.
    ‘’so what do I do ?’’ I asked one more time. Chinedu shook his head and stared at me for some seconds.

    ‘’I’m sorry but I really can’t come up with any solution right now. Give me some time to think about it’’ he answered slowly, shook hands with me and left for his shop. I scratched my head as I desperately tried to come up with something but nothing seemed to come forward.

    I was still battling with my thoughts when he walked back into my shop. I hopefully stared at him, thinking he finally came up with something but I was disappointed because he came to talk about Nora.

    ‘’I really forgot telling you about something I noticed lately’’ he breathed, sitting on the chair he vacated minutes ago. I looked at him curiously.

    ‘’you know this is a small world and in this part of the country or should I say in Africa, people tend to take their neighbor’s problem seriously’’ he said softly, watching my reaction.

    ‘’you see there are lots of gossips going round town about you. Many people now talk behind your back. Your story is now the talk of the town, especially in restaurants and within the market community . People say you abandoned your wife for a campus girl. The story even has many versions. Some say you are under the influence of love charm. Some say you are under the influence of your own stupidity. Others say you are just too ambitious and greedy. You know Nora is a popular lady around here and her shop is the meeting place for all types of ladies. So her pregnancy is really generating a lot of reactions and sympathy’’’ he slowly said, never leaving his eyes on me. I breathed deeply, so shaken with the revelation. As a business man, i knew how harmful such public reaction could be to me. Yes of course I knew all he said was true because I already have noticed how people looked at me whenever I strolled around.

    ‘’this is a free world. Everyone has the right to think whatever he wants’’ I finally muttered with a faint smile while my friend shrugged.

    ‘’yes you are right but as a business man you are not supposed to live a life of controversy. It wont take much from you to at least make peace with Nora.’’ he pushed on.

    ‘’you know I have always wanted to reach a compromise with Nora but she just refused to be accommodating. What do I do?’’ I poured out with desperation.
    ‘’try one more time brother. Pay her another visit. ‘’ he said with a serious smile while I nodded in agreement..

    ‘’one more time. Yes one more time’’ I breathed, wondering when all these would come to an end.

    Wednesday evening, I found myself in Nora’s new apartment.

    EDNA
    Edna-Episode 1




    A hand grabbed one of my breasts. It was masculine, big and strong! It wasn’t Joshua’s hand, so it definitely was. . . Oh my God!
    Dad’s?
    It couldn’t be. . at all.
    We were having the morning devotion.
    We were just five in the sitting room, Dad, Mum, Benson and Benedicta and I, it couldn’t be dad.
    He was the only hope I had in the whole wife world. He couldn’t just come and burst my balloon like that. . .
    I was already crushed!
    My maternity and paternity had not been confirmed till date. I was found at the doorstep of the house at about 8 months old in a basket with a ‘help this baby’. The woman I always call mum had made my stay in the house a living hell, she made it clear that I was not part of then and that she didn’t want me in the house but dad had fought for my stay in the house.
    If there was a meat stolen in the pot, it would be Edna, if something happened any how in the house, my name would rent the whole air. Even the twins Benson and Benedicta that I was about five years older than, accused, blamed and insulted me at the slightest opportunity.
    At 15, I still bed wet, because of this, I was banished from the room I shared with Emmanuella to the balcony. Last night, the breeze had been too much for me that I knew that by the time I would wake up, I would find myself in the pool of my own urine. Anytime I was being flogged by mum, dad would step in. Anytime he did step in the next statement that would follow is ‘if this girl doesn’t eventually cause our breakup Chioma, call me a b******!’ In school, my self esteem had been crushed too.
    Mum had come to school before for me to be disgraced on the assembly because I had wet the bed the night before. Since then, I was called the ‘wee-wee Edna’ and sometimes a witch and any evil you could imagine. If you are close to the Samuel family and you have not heard about the ‘wee-wee Edna’ it’s because you are deaf mr dead.
    Everyone knew me.
    Everyone hated me.
    The only one person who said to me that ‘you look good. You are beautiful. What a nice result you have here. You are a great genius’ was the only one person I called ‘Dad’ and meant it. Mr. Samuel, the pastor of our church, my father fumbling my breast? Impossicant! I thought. I was bending over a stool as a punishment for bed wetting again and I had dozed off.
    The operation on my breast had woken me up and with sleepy eyes, I looked at Dad beside me. There were his eyes, he was glaring at me, it wasn’t a dream, daddy was really smooching me, he winked and smiled at me as he brought his hand close to me again despite shining “Worthy is the Lamb, seated on the throne’ as he led the devotion.
    The infuriation that rose from my inside due to the great disappointment that I was met with this early morning threw me off balance, within the twinkling of an eye, I had deposited two dirty hot slaps in his face.

    Written by

    Danny Biitka



    Biitka didn’t need to be a psychic to know why Barrister was happy talking about Chief; He also knew Dorcas was trying to cover up the role Barrister played within the family.
    “Mhhmhhhmhh! Chief?…Barrister Tay?…I knew this old man was gonna play smart. Maybe someone has to tell him am the smartest guy here in the City…Barrister Tay has to go through the mill anyway”. He said.
    Biitka has all kinds of notorious guys working for him; they were loyal to him because of the pay. He pays well.
    From spies to guys who can tail you anywhere you go,those who do the torturing and the killing. A big Gang he’s got there.
    Milly Brown was running out of options, if Kelly has rejected her and was not in any way ready to make peace with her, she was finding it difficult to build herself around the Riches she married Chief for..
    “Mmm. Why don’t I hover around Biitka, He is not married and all that”….She said to herself
    She went to the living room and tiptoed to Chief’s restroom, she was about entering when the voice busted
    And where do you think you are going to? That was Kelly?
    Milly: Can’t I see my husband?
    Kelly: Nope you can’t, by the way, why where you tiptoeing into the room?
    Milly: Mmm, maybe not to wake him up
    Kelly: Or maybe what?
    Milly: Ah, what are you trying to accuse me of? Tiptoeing?
    Kelly: Look, He is asleep, so you can’t see him
    Milly: Why can’t I?
    Kelly: Because I said so
    Milly: Look, I will make you pay dearly for this…
    Milly walked away angrily, loosing grips of Chief himself was the last thing she thought could ever happen to her…
    Milly also knew Biitka has eyes for the treasure; she took up her phone and called him for the first time in months.
    Biitka: Milly?
    Milly: Yeah Milly, surprised?
    Biitka: Why wouldn’t I be?
    Milly: You could have equally called you know?
    Biitka: I have visited the house a couple of times, in all, I met your absence
    Milly: Yeah, was on my business trips…
    Biitka: Hahahahaaa…Look, I know you don’t travel anywhere. You and I know that
    Milly: Why would you say that?
    Biitka: Is through me you got to know Chief, and I know you never loved him…So spare me those jokes
    Milly: Oh whatever
    Biitka: By the way, where are you now?
    Milly: Am home
    Biitka: Come over to my place when free, it’s been long
    Milly: Okay I’ll try
    Biitka: I didn’t say try, I said come
    Milly: Okay, Will call you when coming…catch you soon
    Biitka: Alright
    “Yes!!! Wo gye obi girl aa ne d3,s3 y3 gye wo girl aa ne ya” Milly danced and twerked in her room knowing that, she wouldn’t leave Biitka’s house without taking him to cloud nine and back…Taking him to cloud nine means I’ll find ways and means to be his ally…With him, the hidden treasure will be ours.
    Biitka has being looking for someone who will help him transports drugs abroad. Preferably a lady, and He knew Milly was a perfect match, looking at how adventurous she could sometimes be…And the girl loves money like something.
    Dorcas has not being herself since Biitka met she and Barrister at the restaurant, she tried advising Barrister to leave town or better relocate until the dust settles, but the guy was just too much of a stubborn lawyer..
    Dorcas: Look baby, I know him ooo; please find somewhere to hide until this guy stops tailing our every move
    Barrister: Who and who is tailing your every move?
    Dorcas: Hmm, look, maybe you don’t just pay attention to the cars that drive behind you, well me I do
    Barrister: Ah, how do you know they are tailing you?
    Dorcas: Because I know…no questions from you again
    Barrister: Okay, I think I should start paying attention…
    Dorcas: You better do…mtchewww!!!
    It was 3:30pm when Milly reached Biitka’s place, Biitka was seated in his living room when she came in, after exchanging pleasentries,Biitka invited her over the his library for the chit chat
    Biitka: I have a job for you
    Milly: Mmm, which kind of job?
    Biitka: A job that pays $200k for every successful deal
    Milly: Tell me you ain’t serious
    Biitka: Am not, Listen, it’s an easy task. It will involves you traveling abroad to deliver goods to customers
    Milly: Which kind of goods are we talking about?
    Biitka: Mmm…It may vary, maybe our local herbal drugs or local spices..
    Milly: Ah, who will need those local stuffs abroad?
    Biitka: Look, do you need this job or not?
    Milly: Let me go think okay?
    Biitka: Don’t keep me waiting
    Milly went over to Biikta’s seat, she sat on his laps and planted a deep kiss on his lips, Biitka made no move, He sat still and enjoyed the show…Milly stripped him of his gown leaving him his boxer shorts, He lifted her into her arms and sent her to his bedroom, throwing her into his bed, He said “Do you how long I have being waiting for this?”
    The large Queen sized bed was soon squeaking, followed by moans and sweats. It was a wild scene…”That awkward moment you realized your brother just laid your wife”
    After the two had swum through the river flowing with honey and milk, the two agreed on a task which Milly agreed to accomplish. Biitka invited her for dinner at his regular Restaurant, and as usual, they crushed into Dorcas and Barrister.
    Dorcas was surprised seeing the two together, she however didn’t behave nervous or weird, and He looked away from their table until Biitka came over
    Biitka: Hii guys
    Barrister: Hello Sir, nice meeting you again
    Biitka: Me too, Dorcas, can we talk for a second
    Dorcas: Okay, talk
    Biitka: I mean privately
    Barrister: Okay, I’ll leave you two now, Dorcas, I’ll call you when I get home
    Dorcas: Okay dear…drive carefully
    Immediately Barrister left, Dorcas looked fiercely and said
    What again?
    Biitka: Ohh cool, calm down lioness
    Dorcas: I said what is it? Can’t you just lemme enjoy my privacy?
    Biitka: Look, I told you the drugs are perfcet,I heard Chief has being able to walk by himself lately
    Dorcas: And who told you your drugs did that?
    Biitka: Only if you tell me you have different drugs he is taking?
    Dorcas: Hmm
    Biitka:Look,I only gave you the drugs because you are the Doctor, I didn’t mean any harm okay…Just feel free to give it to him, It will help him
    Dorcas: Hmmm
    Biitka: Yeah Hmm…Am gone…catch you later
    Dorcas was out of words, He knew Biitka was right, Chief has exhibited some signs of new strength since she gave him those drugs, on reaching home, she boldly gave out the drugs to Chief, and assuring him of how comfortable He will feel.
    Sena had just returned from a watch night service, she realized the light in Chief’s restroom was lit, which shouldn’t be at that particular part of the night, she also realized the door was opened, she walked slowly into the room, closed the curtains, and turning towards Chief, Her scream woke up everyone in the household

    Isadora-Episode 35






    Val’s side of the story continues from previous episode (same day)

    Scene : Mr Simon’s office (the private investigator)
    ‘’so how is the task going? I haven’t heard from you in a long while’’ I asked the old man as I sat facing him in his office. He smiled and leaned back on his chair.

    ‘’we are making great progress Val. We have been able to track down the truck that ran over Isadora and her family to a ware house belonging to her uncle. It really took quite an effort to pull off but I have the best team, so just relax and wait for us to conclude every stage of the investigation. Once we are done, you will have all you need. Give me more time’’ he replied while I smiled and nodded.

    ‘’that’s good but I need you guys to hurry. As long as she is in that house, she will continue being in great danger. I just don’t know what made her to move in with them in the first place’’ I poured out breathlessly.

    ‘’you have done enough already for the girl. She’s an adult and she’s free to do whatever she wants. Don’t get yourself too involved in her situation’’ he advised. I stood up, shook hands with him and left.

    Yes I really was happy the way the investigation was going but I was scared things might not end the way I wanted, moreover Isadora was being too stubborn for my liking and if not that I had already gotten involved would have just left her to fight her battles alone.

    ______________________

    Meanwhile back at the house, Isadora is seen still trying to revive the lifeless body of Chuka as she waited for his parents to show up. In few minutes Jane and her mother barged in, looking extremely terrified…

    Isadora’s side of the story continues




    ‘’what happened?, what happened to him?’’ Jane’s mother anxiously asked as she grabbed the lifeless body of her son, shaking him with great energy. The look of fear and anxiety in her was way too much. I equally was totally at lost. For some seconds I couldn’t mutter anything.

    ‘’he rushed into my room bleeding heavily. He muttered some incoherent words before collapsing. I can’t really tell what happened to him’’ I nervously explained.

    ‘’call the gateman, we have to take him to the hospital right away’’ she said to Jane who instantly dashed out of the room.

    ‘’he was stabbed, my son was badly stabbed. Oh my god don’t let Chuka die’’ she cried as she examined his wounds. I couldn’t do anything than stare. I had never experienced such a terribly horrific scene in my life.

    The gateman soon showed up with Jane and together we carried Chuka’s lifeless body to the car and headed straight to a private hospital down the street but on getting there the doctor confirmed him dead.

    ‘’I’m sorry madam but your son is dead, there is nothing I can do to revive him. We will have to move him to our morgue if you approve and then you go make a police report’’ he said to the terrified woman who threw herself on the floor and wailed out her heart. You can’t imagine the state I was in that moment. Confusion, fear, regrets and tension all came together and took control of my body. I couldn’t say a word and no one cared to talk to me. I couldn’t help but wonder what was going through the minds of Jane and her mother.

    Unfortunately I didn’t have to wait long to know because as soon as we got to the police station to file the report I got the biggest shock of my life. There and then I was accused of stabbing Chuka to death.

    ‘’this little witch here stabbed my son to death. She’s my husband’s niece and the only one close to my son after she came to live with us few weeks ago. I can’t tell what happened between them but my son died on her bed. Please torture her for me, get the truth from her. Her motive is to destroy my family’’ she screamed and cried at the police station and trust the Nigerian police, the officer on duty instantly pounced on me as if I was an armed robber and dragged me to the back of the counter where I was forced to sit on the floor.

    ‘’I didn’t stab him, I had no knife with me. You guys need to go back to the house and follow the trail of blood to see things for yourself. He came to my room bleeding’’ I pleaded desperately.

    ‘’is the body still in the house?’’ the officer asked Jane’s mum, surprising me with the strange question.

    ‘’no he’s at the morgue now’’ she sobbed, narrating her side of the story over again.

    ‘’very well then young girl you will have a lot of talking to do because the crime scene has already been corrupted and there is no way we can tell if he was bleeding before getting to your room. Moreover you look like a sharp girl and you definitely had the time and space to hide the crime weapon and set things to look like he bled to your room’’ the officer said while tears instantly filled up my eyes. Of course I realized that moment that the officer would prefer following the less strenuous job of playing along with my accuser than carrying out a thorough investigation.

    ‘’officer I know my son wasn’t a very good boy. He must have tried doing something to her and she stabbed him to death. I’m sure he never left the house and I’m sure nobody else came to the house to stab him’’ the old woman chipped in quickly


    ‘’but you were not at home, how would you know. It’s better to ask the gateman. He might know something’’ I sobbed. The officer stared at Jane’s mum and I as he probably tried to figure out the next line of action. Surprisingly Jane never uttered a single word all through the confusion and my uncle equally was yet to show up.

    Isadora-Episode 34








    Isadora’s side of the story continues

    Living with my new family really ushered in a new chapter of my life. Everyone in the house all appeared and behaved cool towards me, including Jane who tried her best to keep her distance as much as she could.

    To be candid I wasn’t very much comfortable in the house but because of my plans had to try my best to cope with my new life and situation. My uncle on his own part tried to make me feel at home by making sure I had everything that would make me comfortable in his house but anytime I tried talking about my late parents and inheritance he always had this way of brushing my questions aside. It just seemed as if he only wanted to keep me in his house without any motive of telling me about my parents or giving me what belonged to me. Nevertheless I still played the fool and observed his moves without giving him cause to suspect that I wasn’t very happy with how he was acting towards my interest. Moreover my lawyer advised I give him little time and observe.

    Val on his own part tried his best to reach out to me but I never gave him the opportunity. It just wasn’t time for love in my heart. I wasn’t ready to give in to his advances and romance. I had other bigger problems that were occupying my mind but he never really understood my position. He just felt I was being too difficult.

    However one thing I was happy about was that his scheduled court wedding with Jane never held. The day came and went unceremoniously. I bet it was the worst day of Jane’s life.

    The only true cousin or should I say companion I had that period was Chuka and yes he seemed like the wrong person to have as a companion but then he was very open and free with me unlike his siblings. The only bad thing about him was his bad habits which I tried my best to get him out of. Yes it wasn’t easy trying to get a chain smoker to quit but I had this zeal to change him into a better person and luckily he reluctantly was willing to change.

    ‘’see Isadora it’s not as if I don’t know that smoking is bad and all that but I can’t really help myself. I have done lots of terrible things due to my bad childhood and smoking is the only way to calm my emotions down and get rid of bad memories. I have done terrible things and I belong to a very dangerous group’’ he had confided in me one fateful evening when I tried talking more sense into him.

    ‘’sometimes we can’t help the bad choices we made in the past but two wrongs can never make a right. You can atone for your sins by following a good path’’ I had advised him.

    ‘’I can’t really get my life back. I can try to quit smoking but I can’t clear the bad things I did in the past from my conscience neither can I leave my group. I belong to a very deadly group and I can’t change my life. There is no way out for me’’ he poured out, getting me to see his own view.

    It really was a very tedious task trying to change him but since I had nothing to do in the house, I spent most of my time with him and slowly my influence started getting on him. The change was soon noticeable and he barely left the house unlike in the past.
    But I never expected what was to come with the change.

    One late afternoon Three weeks later, he rushed into my room heavily bleeding all over. His entire body, shirt and trouser were soaked in his blood. I had never seen so much blood in my entire life and gosh I felt a great chill ran through me as he fell on me.

    ‘’what’s wrong?, what happened?’’ I asked breathlessly.

    ‘’I tried to quit. I tried to back out but I wasn’t allowed. It only got me this. I pray God forgives my sins’’ he stammered as he gasped for breathe. I really didn’t know what to do nor tell what he tried to back out from. I couldn’t equally figure out where he was attacked, if it was in the house or outside. I was so confused on what to do to help him and before I could get my phone to call his mum, he stopped breathing, leaving me totally terrified. We were the only ones in the house apart from the gateman at the gate.

    What do I do now?’’ I wondered as I tried to revive the lifeless body of the only true brother I had in the house. Deep down I had this feeling I was in a way responsible for his misfortune.


    What do I do now?

It just seemed as if he only wanted to keep me in his house without any motive of telling me about my parents or giving me what belonged to me. Nevertheless I still played the fool and observed his moves without giving him cause to suspect that I wasn’t very happy with how he was acting towards my interest. Moreover my lawyer advised I give him little time and observe.

    Val on his own part tried his best to reach out to me but I never gave him the opportunity. It just wasn’t time for love in my heart. I wasn’t ready to give in to his advances and romance. I had other bigger problems that were occupying my mind but he never really understood my position. He just felt I was being too difficult.

    However one thing I was happy about was that his scheduled court wedding with Jane never held. The day came and went unceremoniously. I bet it was the worst day of Jane’s life.

    The only true cousin or should I say companion I had that period was Chuka and yes he seemed like the wrong person to have as a companion but then he was very open and free with me unlike his siblings. The only bad thing about him was his bad habits which I tried my best to get him out of. Yes it wasn’t easy trying to get a chain smoker to quit but I had this zeal to change him into a better person and luckily he reluctantly was willing to change.

    ‘’see Isadora it’s not as if I don’t know that smoking is bad and all that but I can’t really help myself. I have done lots of terrible things due to my bad childhood and smoking is the only way to calm my emotions down and get rid of bad memories. I have done terrible things and I belong to a very dangerous group’’ he had confided in me one fateful evening when I tried talking more sense into him.

    ‘’sometimes we can’t help the bad choices we made in the past but two wrongs can never make a right. You can atone for your sins by following a good path’’ I had advised him.

    ‘’I can’t really get my life back. I can try to quit smoking but I can’t clear the bad things I did in the past from my conscience neither can I leave my group. I belong to a very deadly group and I can’t change my life. There is no way out for me’’ he poured out, getting me to see his own view.

    It really was a very tedious task trying to change him but since I had nothing to do in the house, I spent most of my time with him and slowly my influence started getting on him. The change was soon noticeable and he barely left the house unlike in the past.
    But I never expected what was to come with the change.

    One late afternoon Three weeks later, he rushed into my room heavily bleeding all over. His entire body, shirt and trouser were soaked in his blood. I had never seen so much blood in my entire life and gosh I felt a great chill ran through me as he fell on me.

    ‘’what’s wrong?, what happened?’’ I asked breathlessly.

    ‘’I tried to quit. I tried to back out but I wasn’t allowed. It only got me this. I pray God forgives my sins’’ he stammered as he gasped for breathe. I really didn’t know what to do nor tell what he tried to back out from. I couldn’t equally figure out where he was attacked, if it was in the house or outside. I was so confused on what to do to help him and before I could get my phone to call his mum, he stopped breathing, leaving me totally terrified. We were the only ones in the house apart from the gateman at the gate.

    What do I do now?’’ I wondered as I tried to revive the lifeless body of the only true brother I had in the house. Deep down I had this feeling I was in a way responsible for his misfortune.


    What do I do now?
