    .

    “Goodnight” Isabella said as she came out of the room together with Theodore. 

    “But,I’m going with you…..” 

    “No,I can go back alone don’t worry about me” Isabella immediately said. 

    “Goodnight” Theodore whispered and she chuckled. 

    She moved closer and pecked his lips before walking away. Theodore entered his room back and checked the time,it’s just 9:30,meaning he’s only thirty minutes late to meet up with the study. 

    He immediately took the chemistry textbook and ran out of the room again. 

    Getting to the library where he was supposed to meet Romina,it was empty. 

    “Romina?” He called,looking around. 

    Silence followed,no one was there. 

    “Did she forget about it?” He muttered and find somewhere to sit. 

    He waited for about ten minutes with no sign of Romina,he got up and left the library. 

    ••••

    <NEXT MORNING>

    As Theo walked to the class,he could see eyes on him all around,whenever he then,they would look away. He was confused and at the same time pissed,why is everyone staring at him. 

    Frustratingly,he entered the class and the few students inside also began staring. 

    ‘What the f*+*k is going on?’ He asked himself but decided to ignore it. 

    He walked straight to his seat,none of his friends are inside yet,but Romina was busy with a book. 

    “Hey” Theo called and she looked up. 

    “You were not in the library last night? I went there,though I was late but I don’t think you would study for thirty minutes right?” Theodore asked. 

    “Oh…I..caught a cold last night and I couldn’t make it,sorry” Romina replied. 

    “Oh I see,how are you feeling now?” Theo asked. 

    “Better now” Romina muttered.

    Almost immediately,Chelsea rushed into the class 

    “Best!!” She screamed,breathing heavily as she ran to Theo. 

    “What happened?” Theodore asked. 

    “Huh? So you don’t know yet?” Chelsea asked. 

    “What is it?”

    “This!” Chelsea screamed,showing him a picture on the students fun channel. 

    Theodore took the phone from her….it’s a picture of him and Isabella kissing last night in front of his room,the caption says. 

    #That_bitch_be_cheating_on_her_boyfriend_Shamelessly. 

    Theo’s eyes widened

    “I’m surprised you haven’t seen this yet! You’re trending all over right now,Maxwell is crazily angry and he’s gonna come for you,how the f*+*k did this happen? We don’t even know who posted this shit……”

    “Where’s Isabella?” Theodore stood up. 

    “I saw her going to the locker room just now” 

    Theodore immediately ran out of he class,Chelsea looked at Romina who was quiet before walking out of the class also. 

    ••

    Isabella could feel eyes on her back as she picked her notes inside her locker. 

    *She’s such a b*tch*

    *How can she cheat on a guy like Maxwell?*

    *I still find it hard to believe*

    *Maxwell is more handsome than him,what does she want?*

    *Personally I think Theo is more handsome,have you seen him closely? His lips are die for*

    Isabella closed her locker loudly and Faced them. 

    “Don’t you have something important to do with your time?!!” She yelled angrily. 

    The girls immediately walked out of the locker room. 

    Isabella sighed and rest her back on the locker,Theodore came in. 

    “Izzie” He called and she looked at him. 

    “Is this your plan?” Isabella glared at him. 

    “Huh?” Theo was confused. 

    “You’re seriously going to act dumb? You don’t know who posted that picture?! Are you doing this because you need a revenge on Maxwell? Huh?”

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

    “I was so dumb,seriously” Isabella mumbled. 

    “Wait…you think this is all my plan?” Theodore poked his chest. 

    “Then what crazy human would do that with such caption?!!” Isabella screamed tearfully. 

    “But that’s absurd,If you think I will be so low to do that to you,I came here because I was worried….”

    “Keep it to yourself,don’t ever appear in front of me again. We are absolutely nothing so drop the act and get lost” Isabella said meanly and stormed out of the room. 

    Theodore bite his lips and brushed his hair backward. 

    “Theo” Chelsea came in. 

    “Not now Chelsea” Theodore muttered. 

    “What do you mean not now? I deserve an explanation too” Chelsea said. 

    Angelo and Leo also came in. 

    “What crazy psycho dropped such picture?” Angelo asked. 

    “Still anonymous,the person must have a grudge against Isabella..according to the caption” Leo said. 

    “Does it even sound like I wrote that?” Theo asked. 

    “Who said it was you?”

    “Isabella…” Theo muttered. 

    “Can’t believe you’re still worried about what she said,you’re in trouble dude. Maxwell is gonna kill you,RIP” Angelo said. 

    Theodore said nothing and walked out,they followed him. 

    🎙 THEODORE ANDREW,THE DIRECTOR’S OFFICE…RIGHT AWAY. 

    They all stopped immediately they heard that. 

    “Jesus Christ” Chelsea muttered. 

    “Dude,should we come with you….”

    “No” Theo said and walked away almost immediately. 

    “I’m so scared,she won’t punish him right?” Chelsea said worriedly,staring at Theo till he was out of sight. 

    “I hope so” Leo sighed. 

    “F*+*k,the whole school is talking about it. How can I deleted that picture?” Angelo asked. 

    “You can’t delete it,only the poster can. And even if it’s possible,everyone already saw and even saved it on their phones” Leo replied. 

    “I seriously don’t want Theo and Maxwell to see each other today” Chelsea bit her finger.

    “That’s not close to possible” Angelo muttered

    ••••

    <DIRECTOR’S OFFICE>

    Summer was pacing around when Theodore entered,she turned and faced him blankly. 

    Theodore know that look and stare,she’s mad at him,totally mad. 

    “Sis…….”

    “I will like you to answer YES or NO” Summer cut him off and he nodded. 

    “Are you the one in that picture?” Summer asked. 

    Theodore nodded. 

    “Words young man!” She snapped. 

    “Yes” Theo muttered. 

    “Good…now,do you know she has a boyfriend or not?” Summer asked. 

    Theodore nodsed. 

    “Words!” 

    “Yes I do” Theodore replied. 

    “Who’s her boyfriend?”

    “Maxwell”

    “Great,now explain to me what this picture is all about,What was she doing in your room last night?” 

    “Sis,that was…..she came because she wanted to thank me for helping her to the infirmary yesterday” Theo replied.

    “Then the kiss??”

    “I didn’t force her,it was just……” It was followed by a slap from Summer. 

    “I hate it when you try to defend your sh*t!” Summer snapped. 

    Theo bite his lips. 

    “That was wrong or right?” Summer asked. 

    “It was wrong” Theodore muttered slowly. 

    “So now you go after people’s girlfriend? You even know who he is,but because you two are rivals like I heard,you went for his girlfriend? Since when did that sh*t start? I told you to focus on your damn study! Not going after girls!” Summer said. 

    Theo’s face was down the whole time. 

    “Stay away from that girl” Summer said. 

    Theodore looked at her. 

    “Go” She said and walked out of his sight. 

    Theodore left the office,he went straight to the restroom. He checked his face in the mirror,his left face was totally red from the slap. 

    He turned on the water and washed his face before going out. 

    ••••

    <AN EMPTY CLASS>

    “What?!! You think Theo did it?!” Cindy and Dakota both screamed. 

    “Who else would have done that? To get back at Maxwell and I blindly fell for it” Isabella said 

    “Are you crazy or something? Theo will be never do that” Cindy said. 

    “I know I’m not close to him,but he’s not that petty,I think he cares a lot about you,what the f*+*k are you saying” Dakota groaned. 

    “Don’t tell me you said that to him” Cindy raised her brows. 

    “I told him never to appear in front of me again” Isabella muttered. 

    “F*+*k!” Cindy and Dakota screamed. 

    Isabella was about talking when Violet and Paris entered with mocking smiles on their faces. 

    “Heard you cheated on your boyfriend” Paris said 

    “That perfect boy” Violet grinned. 

    Isabella rolled her eyes and stood up from the chair she was sitting on. 

    “You must have been crushing badly on him to know he’s perfect” She said. 

    Violet and Paris laughed.

    “I knew it,you’re really a b*tch like the poster said” Paris said. 

    “You should watch your mouth or I will wash the floor with it!” Dakota said. 

    “Oh I’m scared” Violet touched her chest and Paris laughed. 

    “Don’t mind them,let’s go” Isabella passed in between Violet and Paris,they almost fell. 

    “B+tch!!” Violet yelled. 

    “Who can seduce and win over your crush? Only a b+tch like Isabella of course,cry me a river baby” Isabella smirked and walked away. 

    “Do you need a bowl for the river of tears?” Cindy asked. 

    “Out of my way dummies” Dakota said and they also left. 

    “F*+*k,I hate them” Paris hissed. 

    “But,do you really think Theodore is interested in her?” Violet asked. 

    “I won’t blame him,more than 40% of the boys in our class have their eyes on her too,she’s not lying when she said she can seduce….”

    “F*+*k you” Violet snapped and stormed out of the class. 

    “What did I do?” Paris asked confusedly. 

    ••

    Romina came to pick her note for the first class,she closed her locker and turned onto to Find Chelsea glaring at her. 

    “What” Romina asked. 

    “It was you right?” Chelsea asked. 

    “What are you talking about?” Romina asked. 

    “You posted that shit,it was you. You’ve been quiet all these while,I’ve been suspecting you” Chelsea snapped. 

    “You must have lost your sense,just because you’re close to Theo doesn’t mean you should be accusing others!” Romina snapped. 

    Chelsea pushed her against the locker angrily. 

    “Ahh!” She screamed painfully. 

    “Are you crazy?!” Romina yelled. 

    “I’m not going to say a word to anyone right now because there’s no evidence,but don’t worry Karma will definitely be there for you,slow poison,I hate your damn gut. And you better stay away from Theo,even if he want to grow a little likeness for you,I will make sure I bring him back to his sense,so you better don’t bring your hope so high” Chelsea glared at her and stormed out of the locker room. 

    “She’s going crazy” Romina muttered and took her lips in. 

    ••••

    <GRADE 12A CLASSROOM>

    The moment Theodore entered the class with Angelo and Leo,Maxwell threw his shoe angrily at him,the show met his head and the whole class gasped. 

    “Can’t believe you still showed your face here,get out!!” Maxwell shouted aggressively as he approached Theodore. 

    “Dude,are you crazy?!” Angelo shouted and made to grab Maxwell,Theodore held his hand. 

    “Don’t worry,I can handle him” he said. 

    Angelo and Leo left them. 

    The whole class staring,waiting for the upcoming drama. 

    “How dare you do that to my girlfriend?! How dare you?!” Maxwell yelled,grabbing him in the collar. 

    “You’re so slow” Theodore muttered. 

    “What?”

    “I would have destroyed the mouth of any motherf**k who mess with my girlfriend the second I find out” Theo said. 

    Maxwell punched him.

    *F*+*k* 

    “You still got mouth to talk?!” Maxwell yelled. 

    Theodore wiped his lips. 

    “Two more,I can take just that,go on and hit me again” Theodore said. 

    *What’s he doing?*

    “I think that idiot is feeling guilty” Angelo said. 

    “Maxwell shouldn’t hit him more than twice or he might get wounded instead” Leo muttered. 

    “You want to act like a superhero now?” Maxwell scoffed and punched his face again,he was about hitting him the third time when Isabella came in between them. 

    “Stop it!!!” She screamed. 

    Maxwell released Theodore. 

    “Are you seriously supporting him right now?” Maxwell asked. 

    “Maxwell……”

    “He messed with what’s mine!!” Maxwell yelled. 

    “I’m not yours” Isabella said. 

    “What…did you just said?” Maxwell asked.

    “I’m breaking up with you” Isabella said and the students gasped.

    Obiageri – Episode 3

    By Amah’s Heart

    _________________________

    The last drum was heard and I watch the stranger rose from his seat,

     nobody cheered for him, everywhere went silent except for few whispers.

    Nduka jumped up and down as he started displaying his strength and wrestling skills again to the public, and they all began to cheer loudly for him.

    As the fight began, I held my heart in my hand, everybody watched with keen interest as the two men battle in the wrestling ground.

    They were sure that Nduka the great wrestler will beat this stranger, I was among them because Nduka has always beaten his opponent hands down, nobody have being able to defeat Nduka and that was why he was greatly feared and he does whatever he wants and get away with it because there is nobody that can challenge him.

    How I wish this stranger will beat him, and break down his ego but how possible was that.

    I kept watching as my heart continue to beat even louder in my ear drum.

    I watch Nduka tries to lift the strange man off from the ground with his hefty hands but he was unable and just like shock the stranger with so much ease and without struggle swept Nduka off his feet, throwing him to the ground in an unbelievable defeat.

    The crowd did not cheer as we all struggle with the fact that Nduka was on the ground, it looks unbelievable but he was actually on the ground.

    Defeated with so much ease.

    He managed to rose to his feet and move around ângrily, he pounce again at the stranger who undoubtedly threw him to the ground for the second time like a chicken feather, he did not mount on him and punch the living day light out of him like Nduka always do to his opponents, instead he remained standing daring Nduka to get up again.

    Nduka got up again, he displayed his skills to the public but did not get the roaring cheers like before as everyone tries to get in terms with the truth that Nduka was going to be defeated by the stranger.

    Nduka was disappointed when he saw that not everyone was cheering at him like before, he was going to fight with everything in him and defeat this stranger who wants to stëal his glory,

     he believes that nobody can outshine him in the whole community. 

    He was a great wrestler and he will remain so until his last days on earth. 

    Well so he thought.

    As the crowd looked on, this time with so much amusement than fear at the stranger who suddenly lifted the champion holder, the great Nduka himself, the man lifted Nduka above his head, he threw him up, 

    Like a father, who throws up his child playfully and catch the child in the air then repeated the same thing all over just to see the baby giggle, 

    yes, that was what happend in our presence.

    The stranger was at ease with Nduka 

    The stranger threw Nduka up and instead of catching him as a father will do to his new born child, the stranger allowed Nduka to fall on the ground.

    This time around the crowd cheer loudly, the drum began to beat as Nduka struggle to get up.

    He held his waist in pain as he cried out for the first time, I watch his pride destroyed on the ground, all the suppose strength and might he thought he had lay there on the ground as people began to jubiliate.

    Nobody have ever seen such display, the stranger was doing everything with so much ease, he threw Nduka three times on the ground with so much ease without any form of struggle.

     He never said much or displayed like Nduka, yet he defeated him without a sweat.

    When Nduka managed to get up he said they should cancel the wrestling match because he wasn’t so prepared today, he also said that his wrestling outfit contributed to his poor performance.

    He said they must cancel it because there was no way a common stranger from nowhere will defeat him, that it was never done and it won’t happen.

    He claims that he remains the only great wrestler and nobody will ever takes his place.

    With his constant ranting they agreed to cancel it and another day was set again for another wrestling game.

    Nkwo (nkwo market day)not Eke again this time.

     It was a clear defeat, no doubt, the stranger threw Nduka on the ground three good times but Nduka will not accept defeat,

     he said it was over his déåd body to accept such defeat. 

    And that was why the elders were pressurized to agree with him to set out another day for the fight.

    The stranger was not offended that his obvious big win was cancelled, 

    he did not feel indifference, he just went on his way while Nduka went home to nurse his pride and wound.

     villagers went back to their different houses and I silently prayed that the stranger will be favored again by the gods of the land to beat Nduka on the next match.

    I deliberately went to the stream to check for the stranger, since I know the time he usually go to bath at the stream.

    But he was not there this time, I searched everywhere I can think off but he was nowhere to be found. On my way home I decided to check the old woman that live in the outskirt of the village

    I know she lives alone and I don’t know if she have children of her own. Because she was always alone.

    I cut down some goat grass, since I have always seen the woman carrying goat food on her head so I assume she must have a lot of goats.

    So I carried the grass to her place and she was sitting outside her hut, weaving a basket.

    I dropped the goat food and greeted her.

    She was happy on seeing me as I carried chair and sat beside her. I asked her to teach me how to weave baskets and she promise to do that.

    “a ma m ebe onye Ina acho nbi (I know where the person you are looking for lives) she said 

    I was surprised that she actually knows that I was looking for the stranger.

    “biko, achola m ya ebe nile, ma na ahu gim ya, kedu ebe nga achotaya (please, I have searched for him everywhere but couldn’t find, where can I find him)

    And she told me where he lives which was not so far from her hut, the place was deserted, he did not live among the villagers, he built a hut inside the bush and lives there, and he wasn’t easily seen and his place was close to a stream.

    I asked the older woman to tell me his name but she said I should keep asking him for his name he will one day tell me

    So I quickly went to the place the old woman described to look for him.

     I saw the hut, he fenced it all around and when I got close I did not know how he noticed my presence and shouted out to me even before I got to his wooden built gate.

    He shout out asking me to stop there.

    “Nne, gini ka ina acho (young girl, what are you looking for)I paused, and remained standing without saying anything.

    He came out to meet me instead.

    “…nsogbu adi?…gini ka ina achom (is there a problem…why are you looking for me)

    “o we ghi ihe meren, n choro ile otu idi… (Nothing happened, I just want to know how you are doing)

    “a dim mma…Nne, biko laba ebeghi…(I’m fine, young girl, please go back to your house)

    “aha gi obu gini… obu na iwegi aha (what is your name, or don’t you have a name) I asked him 

    “aham a dighi mgba…(my name is not important)

     please be on your way, night is fast approaching.

    “Okay, good luck in your next match with Nduka, may the gods continue to favor you…”

    And with that word I ran back to the village and continued my everyday life

    Rumors were going around that the stranger may be a spirit, because nobody has seen him before then, and he lives far away from everyone, as if he doesn’t want to associate with humans.

     He was indeed strange and nobody knows his name or any history about him.

    Nduka was seriously using the few remaining day to practice, he continue practicing until the Nkwo day arrived.

    And the villagers gathered again to watch what Nduka will do this time.

    Ever since Nduka and the stranger fought he was a little bit calm, but was still parading himself and making mouth to those that cares to listen that he can’t be beaten by any man.

    And as everyone gathered, the dancers began to display their dancing skills, the stranger arrives late and sat on his own again.

    And as the last drum for the fight sounded, Nduka entered the wrestling ground and began to display his might to the public

     the stranger was quiet the whole time, he later joined Nduka in the and the fight began.

    Just like a wave, without wasting time, Nduka was defeated again as the stranger did not pity him this time, he beat Nduka until he passed out and as people gathered to really check if Nduka truly fainted or not I was busy looking around for the stranger but I did not see him.

    I don’t know which side he passed or how he disappeared.

    Nobody noticed when he left, everyone was consumed with Nduka’s defeat that we did not take note of how the stranger left.

    They poured water on Nduka and he was later carried back to his house.

    He was badly beaten, and his face was so swollen, he broke his leg and arms and they have to call the medicine man to come and administer herbal medicine for him and also massage him.

    I was happy at same time fear griped everyone as we all wondered who this stranger maybe.

    But we rejoice even more that Nduka met his match, Nduka was finally defeated and his wing of pride was broken down.

    Now we can drink water and drop cup in peace without looking over our shoulders.

    I will do everything I can to know who this stranger is, villagers have being warned to stay away from his route but I’m not scared of him or whoever he maybe.

    I will one day get to know his name and to find out if he is really human or a spirit as people believe him to be.

    “biko, achola m ya ebe nile, ma na ahu gim ya, kedu ebe nga achotaya (please, I have searched for him everywhere but couldn’t find, where can I find him)

    And she told me where he lives which was not so far from her hut, the place was deserted, he did not live among the villagers, he built a hut inside the bush and lives there, and he wasn’t easily seen and his place was close to a stream.

    I asked the older woman to tell me his name but she said I should keep asking him for his name he will one day tell me

    So I quickly went to the place the old woman described to look for him.

     I saw the hut, he fenced it all around and when I got close I did not know how he noticed my presence and shouted out to me even before I got to his wooden built gate.

    He shout out asking me to stop there.

    “Nne, gini ka ina acho (young girl, what are you looking for)I paused, and remained standing without saying anything.

    He came out to meet me instead.

    “…nsogbu adi?…gini ka ina achom (is there a problem…why are you looking for me)

    “o we ghi ihe meren, n choro ile otu idi… (Nothing happened, I just want to know how you are doing)

    “a dim mma…Nne, biko laba ebeghi…(I’m fine, young girl, please go back to your house)

    “aha gi obu gini… obu na iwegi aha (what is your name, or don’t you have a name) I asked him 

    “aham a dighi mgba…(my name is not important)

     please be on your way, night is fast approaching.

    “Okay, good luck in your next match with Nduka, may the gods continue to favor you…”

    And with that word I ran back to the village and continued my everyday life

    Rumors were going around that the stranger may be a spirit, because nobody has seen him before then, and he lives far away from everyone, as if he doesn’t want to associate with humans.

     He was indeed strange and nobody knows his name or any history about him.

    Nduka was seriously using the few remaining day to practice, he continue practicing until the Nkwo day arrived.

    And the villagers gathered again to watch what Nduka will do this time.

    Ever since Nduka and the stranger fought he was a little bit calm, but was still parading himself and making mouth to those that cares to listen that he can’t be beaten by any man.

    And as everyone gathered, the dancers began to display their dancing skills, the stranger arrives late and sat on his own again.

    And as the last drum for the fight sounded, Nduka entered the wrestling ground and began to display his might to the public

     the stranger was quiet the whole time, he later joined Nduka in the and the fight began.

    Just like a wave, without wasting time, Nduka was defeated again as the stranger did not pity him this time, he beat Nduka until he passed out and as people gathered to really check if Nduka truly fainted or not I was busy looking around for the stranger but I did not see him.

    I don’t know which side he passed or how he disappeared.

    Nobody noticed when he left, everyone was consumed with Nduka’s defeat that we did not take note of how the stranger left.

    They poured water on Nduka and he was later carried back to his house.

    He was badly beaten, and his face was so swollen, he broke his leg and arms and they have to call the medicine man to come and administer herbal medicine for him and also massage him.

    I was happy at same time fear griped everyone as we all wondered who this stranger maybe.

    But we rejoice even more that Nduka met his match, Nduka was finally defeated and his wing of pride was broken down.

    Now we can drink water and drop cup in peace without looking over our shoulders.

    I will do everything I can to know who this stranger is, villagers have being warned to stay away from his route but I’m not scared of him or whoever he maybe.

    I will one day get to know his name and to find out if he is really human or a spirit as people believe him to be.

    Everyone watched in shock and confusion as Theodore carried Isabella out,Dakota and Cindy ran after him. 

    “Dude,why are you so quiet? He just took her away” Tristan said to Maxwell who was wiping off his bloody nose. 

    “Even if Maxwell is dumb,is he supposed to be walking with dummies too? Aren’t you there when he f*+*king threw that heavy ball?! She passed out and all you’re worried about is competition between Theo and him?” Leo asked. 

    “Hey,watch your mouth” Tristan made to grab his collar. 

    “You should watch your hand instead” Angelo pushed his chest and stood in front of Leo. 

    “Seriously? I forgot you two are now following him like puppies” Tristan scoffed. 

    “You must think everyone is like you and Jerry following Maxwell around with no single brain inside your skull..Maxwell is leading the class while you two are ten miles away,,you should question your life instead of acting like fools who escape psychiatric” Angelo said. 

    “What?” Jerry frowned. 

    “No longer interested,play the way you want,Maxwell can stay in the center,f+*k the match” Leo said and left with Angelo,pushing Tristan and Jerry out of the way. 

    “Are they crazy?” Tristan scoffed. 

    One after the other,Class A student left the basketball court. 

    “Automatically we won,oo ohhh!!” Adriel screamed,clapping loudly. 

    “Guess what I figured out aside that” Lionel smirked and they all faced him. 

    “What’s that?” Jayce asked. 

    “They have no single Unity like us” He said. 

    “Right! We can seriously make use of that for our own sake” Paris laughed. 

    “Gosh,that was so embarrassing. But then,Theo is one crazy dude,I feel like knowing him more” Adriel chuckled. 

    “Me too” Jayce muttered. 

    “Why not switch class then?” Lionel scoffed and walked away,the boys followed him immediately. 

    “What,why is Violet so silent?” Paris asked. 

    “Heard she had an encounter with Theodore” Clara replied. 

    Huh? What happened? Is he hitting on you?” Paris grinned. 

    “Your wish” Clara laughed and Violet glared at her which made her stop laughing. 

    Violet walked away.

    <INFIRMARY>

    “She will be awake soon,you don’t have to be worried” The nurse who took care of Isabella said. 

    Isabella was still sleeping on the bed,Dakota and Cindy sitting next to her,the nurse was speaking with Theodore. 

    “What about her nose? She bled earlier,….”

    “That’s just a result of the object thrown,she will be fine” The nurse replied and Theo sighed. 

    “Thanks” He muttered. 

    Meanwhile,Maxwell was trying to enter the infirmary but the security man refused. 

    “Do you know who I am? Who the f*+*k gave you the stupid order not to let me in?!” Maxwell asked angrily. 

    “I did” Theodore said as she came out. 

    “And who are you to give such order?” Maxwell snapped. 

    “Go and ask your dad,I’m sure he knows the answer…I’m not joking” Theo replied and walked out of his sight. 

    He saw Chelsea and she ran over to him. 

    “Hey,are you okay?” She asked. 

    Theo nodded. 

    “What about Isabella?” 

    “The nurse said she will be aware soon” Theodore replied. 

    “I……”

    “Let’s talk later,I need to do something” Theo cut in and walked away. 

    Chelsea sighed,staring at him as he left. 

    “Is everything okay?” Angelo stood beside her. 

    “He said he need to attend to something” Chelsea replied and faced him. 

    “Why are you here?” She asked. 

    “I followed you” Angelo replied. 

    “Let’s go to class then” Chelsea muttered and started walking. 

    Angelo followed her and removed the hair tie she used,she turned immediately. 

    “Why did you do that?” 

    Angelo smiled and arranged her hair. 

    “You look more pretty this way” He said. 

    “Hey,do you have a crush on me or…..”

    “No I don’t” Angelo immediately said. 

    “Good then” Chelsea rolled her eyes. 

    “Good? Why?” Angelo asked. 

    “Because you’re not my type…”

    “Hey hey,you’re not my type either” Angelo scoffed. 

    “You must have a really bad taste then,cos I’m damn pretty” Chelsea said confidently and flipped her hair. 

    “Same way your taste is silly,I’m damn handsome too” Angelo smiled and Chelsea frowned. 

    “What does that mean?” She asked. 

    “You know what I mean” Angelo winked and ran off. 

    “Hey!!! You jerk!!!” Chelsea screamed and ran after him.

    <5PM>

    It’s the last class for the day,and as soon as the History teacher walked out,the students also started going out one after the other. 

    Theo watched Romina as she arranged her books ,she haven’t spoke to him since they all got back to class,that’s not like her. 

    “Hey,are you okay?” He asked with concern. 

    “Not like you care” Romina said and Theo raised his brows. 

    “Are you angry?” He asked. 

    Romina Faced him. 

    “I’m still surprised you noticed,I’m not Isabella” She said. 

    “Do you still wanna study together tonight?” Theodore asked. 

    “Unfortunately..YES,let’s meet by…9pm” Romina replied. 

    “I thought you are mad at me” Theo teased. 

    “Yes I am,but I don’t want to be bored tonight” Romina replied and went out. 

    Theodore chuckled. 

    “Stop acting naive,isn’t it obvious?” Angelo and Leo came over to him. 

    “What’s obvious?” Theodore looked at them. 

    “That girl…likes you” Leo whispers. 

    Theodore scoffed. 

    “Stop saying shits” He said and stood up. 

    “We have three assignments today,why did I make the mistake of choosing science?” Leo groaned. 

    “I thought you love Chemistry”  Angelo chuckled. 

    “Wait,that’s right. I love Chemistry and Biology” Leo muttered. 

    “I only love Biology,what the hell is chemistry” Angelo said and Leo laughed. 

    “What about you?” They asked Theo. 

    “I don’t like any subject” Theo muttered,connecting his headset. 

    “Freak” Angelo scoffed. 

    “Are you crazy?!” They heard someone’s scream and Leo turned immediately,he recognize the voice of his sister. 

    “How dare you ask me that crazy question?” Jerry snapped. 

    “You pushed me out of the way and all my books fell!” Cleo shouted. 

    “So what am I supposed to do?” Jerry asked. 

    “Pack them of course” Cleo replied. 

    “You’re the crazy one here if you expect me to do that” Jerry scoffed and pushed her out of his way. 

    Leo dropped his bag immediately and crossed his path. 

    “Oh wow,I forgot she’s got a brother” Jerry chuckled. 

    “I have no words,go pack her books” Leo said. 

    Jerry turned to Tristan and they both laughed. 

    “And…if I don’t?” Jerry asked. 

    “That means you want it the hard way” Leo replied and started unbuttoning his shirt. 

    “Okay fine fine,I’m not in the mood to fight right now” Jerry surrendered,He turned back and went to pack Cleo’s books on the floor. He walked out with Tristan. 

    Leo buttoned up again. 

    “Thanks brother” Cleo smiled at him before going out. 

    “Your sister is quite hot” Angelo said. 

    “You just noticed?” Leo asked and walked back to them. 

    “Yeah,should I start hitting on her?” Angelo asked. 

    “No,you look like a player,I don’t want you for my sister” Leo shook his head. 

    “What about Theo?” Angelo asked. 

    “I don’t want him either,he’s too handsome,I’m afraid some girls crushing on him might beat my sister up” Leo said and Theo laughed. 

    “That wouldn’t happen though,I protect girls I like” Theodore said. 

    “Why did you parents named you Theodore and not Romeo or Jack?” Angelo asked. 

    “I wonder too” Theodore said and they laughed. 

    ••

    “So now what? It’s obvious he likes her” Phoenix said as they arranged their things inside their locker. 

    “Anything that makes him happy” Chelsea muttered. 

    “What,you’re giving up so soon?” Phoenix asked. 

    “He’s my best friend,I can’t make him uncomfortable with my own one side feelings. He doesn’t feel the same so don’t worry,I will keep on being his best friend,I don’t want anything to tarnish that,you might not know but Theodore likes me a lot,not just the other way round,I’ve seen him fight because of me,he can do anything for me,I guess I’m just selfish if I want all of him,he sees me as his best friend,I think I’m satisfied with that” Chelsea said. 

    “Awwwwn,you’re just the sweetest girl in the whole universe” Phoenix hugged her. 

    Chelsea smiled.

    <INFIRMARY>

    Isabella finally opened her eyes,Dakota and Cindy rushed to her immediately. 

    “Baby,are you okay?” Dakota asked. 

    Isabella looked around. 

    “How did I get here?” She asked. 

    “You don’t remember? Maxwell threw a ball and it met you,your nose even bled” Cindy replied. 

    Isabella’s eyes widened,she jumped out of the bed. 

    “Where’s Mirror!” She cried out. 

    “That side” Dakota immediately pointed. 

    Isabella rushed to the mirror and checked her face to make sure there is no scar. 

    “Oh thank goodness” She breathe out in relief. 

    “Who brought me here tho? Maxwell?”

    “Theodore” Dakota replied and Isabella faced them at once. 

    “Him?!” She asked in surprise. 

    “You should have seen the way he punched Maxwell for hurting you,he refused to let Maxwell touch you as well,it was so crazy to watch” Cindy said and Isabella was surprised. 

    “They…fought again?” She asked. 

    “Actually,the ball was meant to be thrown at Theodore but he dodged it and it met you,Theodore hit Maxwell’s Face and his nose bled too” Dakota explained. 

    “What about Maxwell? He didn’t come here??” Isabella asked. 

    “Theodore informed the security not to let him in,I’m still confused because the security did exactly what he was told” Cindy said. 

    “Has school ended? Let’s go” Isabella said and arranged her hair with her fingers. 

    They all walked out of the infirmary.as soon as they were out,Maxwell showed up. 

    “Babe” He called and rushed to her. 

    “Girls,I will meet you” She said 

    They both glared at Maxwell before walking away. 

    “I’m sorry,I really didn’t mean to hurt you,you know that right? You know I will never hurt you…..”

    “What’s your own definition of hurt? You think just hits leads to the other party being hurt?” Isabella cut in. 

    “Fine,I’m sorry for everything” Maxwell muttered. 

    Isabella said nothing. 

    Maxwell sighed and pulled her into a hug. 

    “Are you okay now?” He asked. 

    “Yes I am” she replied.

    “I’m sorry” Maxwell said. 

    “I need to go,later” Isabella said and walked away. 

    Maxwell sighed and roughed his hair. 

    ••••

    <6;30PM, AUDITORIUM>

    Chelsea walked into the empty but bright hall,looking around. She got a text from Theodore to meet him there and she wondered why,it’s almost time for dinner. 

    “Theodore? Best?” She called. 

    “Oh my heart,who will call me best too” Angelo came out from where he was hiding and Chelsea frowned. 

    Leo also came out,laughing out loudly. 

    “What’s going on here?” Chelsea asked,still frowning. 

    “Let me explain,it was his idea…” Leo pointed at Angelo. 

    “Are you crazy? What do you mean by it was my idea,it was yours dude” Angelo snapped,they continue arguing. 

    “Stop!!!!!” Chelsea screamed and they both kept quiet. 

    “So,what you’re saying is….one of you used Theo’s phone to text me and made a fool of me?” Chelsea asked. 

    “It was Angelo’s idea….”

    Chelsea removed her sneaker and threw at him which didn’t meet him,it wasn’t even close. 

    “It’s quite bad when ones hand is short,Chelsea can relate” Angelo said and Leo laughed. 

    “What? Short hand?” Chelsea glared. 

    “Throw that shoe from there to here let’s see if it will meet me,I just want to check something” Leo said. 

    Chelsea removed her second sneaker and threw it.

    “Flop” Angelo said and they both laughed,the shoe didn’t meet Leo. 

    “I swear I hate you both! Why is Theo even talking to you!” Chelsea yelled,running after them,they also took to their heels. 

    She continue running after them until she stepped on something sharp. 

    “Ouch!” She screamed and stopped running. 

    Angelo and Leo stopped running and faced her. 

    “Are you pretending or what?” Leo asked. 

    “It hurts” Chelsea whimpered as she raised her head,she actually stepped on a tiny sharp stone,she started bleeding. 

    The door opened and Theo came in. 

    “I knew you were here….” He stopped when he saw Chelsea’s leg. 

    “What happened?” He immediately ran to her. 

    “I think I stepped on something sharp” Chelsea muttered. 

    “How? Why are you not wearing your shoes?” Theodore asked and looked at Leo and Angelo who were standing like kids who knows they just messed up. 

    “What the f*+*k happened? Why is she not wearing her shoes? And why did you send a message with my phone?” He asked,already getting mad. 

    “Calm down,I’m fine” Chelsea muttered. 

    “But you’re bleeding,what the hell were you guys thinking? I told you hard plays aren’t for you” Theo scolded as he helped her sit down. .

    He bent in front of her and removed her socks. 

    “Awwww” Chelsea bite her lips. 

    Fortunately the stone didn’t go in deeply. 

    “Right there” Theodore removed it and looked at her. 

    “Are you okay? Should I take you to the….”

    “No,it’s fine since it’s out” Chelsea replied. 

    Theodore glared at Angelo and Leo. 

    “I don’t care what you do,but please don’t let her get hurt,it’s annoying” He said. 

    “Yes Romeo” Angelo said and they all laughed aside Theo,even Chelsea laughed. 

    “You are laughing now?” Theo asked her. 

    “No” Chelsea shook her head but she ended up laughing. 

    Theodore smiled and helped her put her shoes back on. 

    “Get on my back,free ride for you” he said and tuned. 

    “I swear I will love you more than my future boyfriend” Chelsea said. 

    “I’m out of here” Theodore stood up without carrying her. 

    “Sorry!! I don’t mean that!!” Chelsea screamed. 

    “You better don’t,I don’t want trouble” Theo said and bent again,Chelsea climbed on his back and they all walked out of the Auditorium. 

    ••••

    <9PM,THEODORE’S ROOM>

    Theo was just done dressing up,ready to go to the Library like Romina wanted. 

    He took the chemistry textbook and was about opening the door when he heard a knock. 

    “Romina?” He called and opened but it was Isabella. 

    “Izzie” He called. 

    “You’re waiting for Romina? Going somewhere?” Isabella asked,looking at the book in his hand as she entered. 

    “Why are you here? What if…someone sees you?” Theodore asked before locking the door. 

    “Don’t worry,I made sure nobody saw me” Isabella replied. 

    “I heard it was you who took me to the infirmary,thanks” She muttered. 

    “That was nothing” Theo replied and bite his lips. 

    “What,are you going out? I came because I was bored” Isabella pouted. 

    “You think I’m the best option?” Theo asked and she nodded. 

    “It’s always lively around you,but if you’re going somewhere,I will just leave….”

    “No no,I’m not going anywhere” Theo said and dropped the textbook in his hand. 

    Isabella smiled.  

    “And…I’m sorry” she muttered. 

    “Why?” 

    “Maxwell…..”

    “Don’t apologize for him,he doesn’t need to apologize anyway,the ball hit you not me,he should apologize to you instead” Theodore muttered. 

    There was silence after that,Theodore using the whole silence to check her out,he couldn’t even hide the fact that he was staring. 

    She was putting on a Jean mini skirt and crop top,and her figure..that hourglass figure made it even more hotter on her. 

    Theodore took his lips in and managed to look away. 

    Isabella moved closer to him and stood in front of him,closely. 

    “Your hair” She muttered and adjusted the tip of the hair which almost covered his left eye. Theodore’s eyes remained on hers.

    After she was done,she moved back. 

    “I should get going,I only came to say thank you” She said and turned to the door. 

    Theo immediately grabbed her hand and she faced him back,their eyes on each other. 

    “Would you like…….to kiss me?” He asked. 

    “That’s….cheating” Isabella muttered. 

    “I know,he won’t find out anyway” Theo replied. 

    “You think I won’t tell him?”

    “You won’t” Theo said. 

    “So….are you interested or…..” Before he could finish,Isabella smashed his lips on his. 

    Theodore grabbed her waist possesively,kissing her even more deeply.

    Shackles Of Tradition – Episode 8

    Written by Amah’s Heart 

    _______________________________

    ” I don’t have an option there Papa. Emeka and I took a bløød oath before he went to the city on a scholarship…and if I go contrary to the convenant we had then I’ll either end up m@d or déâd!” Adanna finally broke the heavy news as she released the breath she was holding

    ” What do you mean by you and that Osucast boy took a bløød oath…?” Mazi Ebuka asked looking at Adanna fiercely

    Adanna remained silent seeing the frightening look on her father’s face. She jerked when her father shouted saying 

    “…Adanna as an intelligent girl I want to believe that you won’t be that foolish to gamble with your future. Ada please me tell that this is one of your childish jokes…?”

    ” I’m sorry Papa but it’s the truth. I took an oath with Emeka as the only man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I really do not care if he is an Osucast or not! I love Emeka very much and what matters to me is our future together. Papa I want to marry him regardless of the traditional boundaries!” Adanna replied leaving her father in shock 

    ” Wow! I’m just realizing that you’ve been charmed Adanna! My ënëmíes have finally succeeded in getting to me through my daughter. I’ll sure deal with them and by the time I am done with them…they will understand why I am known as the Mazi Ebuka of this village”

    ” There’s nothing wrong with me Papa. I am very alright…nobody chārmed me!”

    ” I don’t think so Adanna. You’re surely chārmed and it’s definitely my ënëmíes at work. They want to dent my image and tarnish my ambition to be the next Onukwo of this land…but then I’ll make sure their plans for my family fails!”

    ” I still insist that I am very fine Papa. I’m not charmed nor are your ënëmíes using me to get to you. I’m just following my heart…that’s all Papa!”

    ” Adanna you may keep denying it but I am very convinced within me that you’re charmed. I mean it’s not enough that you took a convenant with a rejectee boy who is an Osucast…today you want to add to the list of your mistakes by marrying him and you claim you’re not charmed…? Wow!”

    ” Papa I made no mistake choosing Emeka or taking that convenant with him. For the gods sake! I am of age to make my choice of the man I want to spend the rest of my life with and it is certainly not Prince Obinna!”

    ” Okay lets assume you’re right. So Adanna the choice of the man you made is none other than an Osucast…?”

    ” I loved him Papa even before I knew about his status as an Osucast and I still love him. Love they say conquers it all!”

    ” Stop this madness Adanna! I’ll overlook the past and pretend that none of this ever happened. All I want you to do is to break off whatever relationship you have with that boy and his family. Forget your past with him and marry prince Obinna. Face your bright future!”

    ” I will do no such thing Papa. Didn’t you hear what I said earlier…? Emeka and I are inseparable because of the bløød oath that binds us together forever!”

    ” Shut up Adanna! You’re my daughter and I’ll not allow you put your hands into a fire that will burn you alive. Do you think at all…? Or wait! Do you want all of us to live in extreme isolation and be referred to as Osucast relatives..?” Mazi Ebuka exclaimed and then took a deep breath to calm his nerves. He continued but this time in a calm voice 

    “…see my daughter if the oath is what you’re scared of then don’t worry yourself about it. Trust me as your father I’ll run around and find a way to set you free. Ada, you will not d!e neither will you run m@d. You’re my daughter and I Mazi Ebuka will find a way to  bring you out of the convenant that binds you two. Just allow me handle it!”

    ” That won’t be necessary Papa. I want to be with Emeka. I love him so much!”

    ” Adanna tell me the truth…what exactly have I done as a wrong to you such that you’re hellbent on destroying all the hard work that I’ve spent years to build…? Do you want to bring down all the efforts I have put into becoming a prominent man in this village…? Talk!” 

    ” You’ve done nothing wrong to me Papa. It’s just that I am currently twenty seven years old. I am now an adult who is old enough to make certain decisions for myself with or without your validation so grant me my choice Papa!”

    ” Ada I’ll never approve of that choice of yours so you have the liberty to either change it in peace or in pieces!”

    ” Well Papa I will do no such thing. So you are free to do your worst Papa!”

    ” What do you mean by that Adanna…? Are you trying to dare me or what…?”

    ” I’m sorry Papa if you choose to see it that way but then I really love Emeka. He’s my choice of a husband and I’ll marry him whether or not you approve of him. If it’s not Emeka I’ll simply stay single forever and that’s my final decision Papa!” Adanna said and angrily stomped out of her father’s presence. 

    Mazi Ebuka kept ranting for Adanna to come back and stand before him but she was far gone. He is boiling in ánger and thought to himself that he is going to disgrace Emeka and his only family in such a way that they will never forget.

    After Adanna ran out of the house, she went straight to meet her mother at the backyard. 

    Her mother; Ngozi was plucking pumpkin leaves when her daughter came and stood before her fuming 

      

    ” Adanna why is your face looking that way…? Don’t tell me that you and your father… I heard  you two usual banter about your marriage to prince Obinna…? What is the issue…?” Ngozi asked out of concern. She stopped plucking the leaves in other to focus her full attention on looking at Adanna

    ” Talk to your husband Mama. I have made my choice of a man and unfortunately that man isn’t Prince Obinna whom he has chosen for me. Emeka remains the man I love and I’ll marry him whether he likes it or not!” Adanna said and was about walking out on Ngozi when she begun feeling dizzy.

    The dizziness made it seem like the world was rotating around her and Ngozi who noticed her change in demeanor had to ask her worriedly 

    ” Adanna are you okay…? What’s wrong with you..why the sudden dull face…?”

    ” I’m fine Mama. It’s just the stress of today that is taking a toll on me. I’ll be going to my room now! Just help me and talk to Papa please!” Adanna pleaded as she took another step forward to walk out of Ngozi’s presence 

    Just at that moment the dizziness became worst, Adanna’s eye begun closing as she lost her balance and weakly slumped to the ground.

    Seeing this scenario, Ngozi was abruptly alarmed. She ran to Adanna’s side amidst her several screams and wailings which alert the occupants of the house.

    ” Adanna! Adanna! Adanna! Somebody should help me ohhh!. Nnayi please come out! Our daughter is dying ohhh!”

    Shackles Of Tradition – Episode 8

    Written by Amah’s Heart 

    _______________________________

    ” I don’t have an option there Papa. Emeka and I took a bløød oath before he went to the city on a scholarship…and if I go contrary to the convenant we had then I’ll either end up m@d or déâd!” Adanna finally broke the heavy news as she released the breath she was holding

    ” What do you mean by you and that Osucast boy took a bløød oath…?” Mazi Ebuka asked looking at Adanna fiercely

    Adanna remained silent seeing the frightening look on her father’s face. She jerked when her father shouted saying 

    “…Adanna as an intelligent girl I want to believe that you won’t be that foolish to gamble with your future. Ada please me tell that this is one of your childish jokes…?”

    ” I’m sorry Papa but it’s the truth. I took an oath with Emeka as the only man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I really do not care if he is an Osucast or not! I love Emeka very much and what matters to me is our future together. Papa I want to marry him regardless of the traditional boundaries!” Adanna replied leaving her father in shock 

    ” Wow! I’m just realizing that you’ve been charmed Adanna! My ënëmíes have finally succeeded in getting to me through my daughter. I’ll sure deal with them and by the time I am done with them…they will understand why I am known as the Mazi Ebuka of this village”

    ” There’s nothing wrong with me Papa. I am very alright…nobody chārmed me!”

    ” I don’t think so Adanna. You’re surely chārmed and it’s definitely my ënëmíes at work. They want to dent my image and tarnish my ambition to be the next Onukwo of this land…but then I’ll make sure their plans for my family fails!”

    ” I still insist that I am very fine Papa. I’m not charmed nor are your ënëmíes using me to get to you. I’m just following my heart…that’s all Papa!”

    ” Adanna you may keep denying it but I am very convinced within me that you’re charmed. I mean it’s not enough that you took a convenant with a rejectee boy who is an Osucast…today you want to add to the list of your mistakes by marrying him and you claim you’re not charmed…? Wow!”

    ” Papa I made no mistake choosing Emeka or taking that convenant with him. For the gods sake! I am of age to make my choice of the man I want to spend the rest of my life with and it is certainly not Prince Obinna!”

    ” Okay lets assume you’re right. So Adanna the choice of the man you made is none other than an Osucast…?”

    ” I loved him Papa even before I knew about his status as an Osucast and I still love him. Love they say conquers it all!”

    ” Stop this madness Adanna! I’ll overlook the past and pretend that none of this ever happened. All I want you to do is to break off whatever relationship you have with that boy and his family. Forget your past with him and marry prince Obinna. Face your bright future!”

    ” I will do no such thing Papa. Didn’t you hear what I said earlier…? Emeka and I are inseparable because of the bløød oath that binds us together forever!”

    ” Shut up Adanna! You’re my daughter and I’ll not allow you put your hands into a fire that will burn you alive. Do you think at all…? Or wait! Do you want all of us to live in extreme isolation and be referred to as Osucast relatives..?” Mazi Ebuka exclaimed and then took a deep breath to calm his nerves. He continued but this time in a calm voice 

    “…see my daughter if the oath is what you’re scared of then don’t worry yourself about it. Trust me as your father I’ll run around and find a way to set you free. Ada, you will not d!e neither will you run m@d. You’re my daughter and I Mazi Ebuka will find a way to  bring you out of the convenant that binds you two. Just allow me handle it!”

    ” That won’t be necessary Papa. I want to be with Emeka. I love him so much!”

    ” Adanna tell me the truth…what exactly have I done as a wrong to you such that you’re hellbent on destroying all the hard work that I’ve spent years to build…? Do you want to bring down all the efforts I have put into becoming a prominent man in this village…? Talk!” 

    ” You’ve done nothing wrong to me Papa. It’s just that I am currently twenty seven years old. I am now an adult who is old enough to make certain decisions for myself with or without your validation so grant me my choice Papa!”

    ” Ada I’ll never approve of that choice of yours so you have the liberty to either change it in peace or in pieces!”

    ” Well Papa I will do no such thing. So you are free to do your worst Papa!”

    ” What do you mean by that Adanna…? Are you trying to dare me or what…?”

    ” I’m sorry Papa if you choose to see it that way but then I really love Emeka. He’s my choice of a husband and I’ll marry him whether or not you approve of him. If it’s not Emeka I’ll simply stay single forever and that’s my final decision Papa!” Adanna said and angrily stomped out of her father’s presence. 

    Mazi Ebuka kept ranting for Adanna to come back and stand before him but she was far gone. He is boiling in ánger and thought to himself that he is going to disgrace Emeka and his only family in such a way that they will never forget.

    After Adanna ran out of the house, she went straight to meet her mother at the backyard. 

    Her mother; Ngozi was plucking pumpkin leaves when her daughter came and stood before her fuming 

      

    ” Adanna why is your face looking that way…? Don’t tell me that you and your father… I heard  you two usual banter about your marriage to prince Obinna…? What is the issue…?” Ngozi asked out of concern. She stopped plucking the leaves in other to focus her full attention on looking at Adanna

    ” Talk to your husband Mama. I have made my choice of a man and unfortunately that man isn’t Prince Obinna whom he has chosen for me. Emeka remains the man I love and I’ll marry him whether he likes it or not!” Adanna said and was about walking out on Ngozi when she begun feeling dizzy.

    I HATE YOU JACE

    I Hate You Jace – Episode 75&76

    (You•Know•You•Love•Me)

    By Naomi Cindy B.

    ★★★★★★★★★★

    BACK IN THE CHURCH*

    Father Fisher’s face is painted with blood already, all dripping down his white robe as he was made to sit on a chair in front of the pulpit.

    “You really have no value for your life, old man” Klaus grinned.

    He’s holding bloody pliers which he has been hitting the priest’s face with.

    “I told you I’d rather die in your hands than tell you her location” Father Fisher said weakly, and Klaus hit the pliers on his face again.

    “Arghh!!” He fell from the chair, rolling to the ground as blood poured out of his mouth.

    “Stop!!!” One of the stewards from before rushed in, and Klaus stood straight.

    “Please stop!” The steward knelt in front of him.

    “Any better idea?” He said.

    “No! Don’t!” Father Fisher said from his ground position.

    “She escaped this place long ago, but Father found her at Finley college last month. She’s there” the steward quickly said.

    “You think I’m a fool? I searched Finley college student records and there’s no single girl bearing Andrea!” Klaus shouted.

    “No that’s because father changed her name. She’s Nicole Fisher right now” the steward replied quickly, and Klaus dropped the pliers before smirking.

    “You didn’t only keep her from me, but you gave her your name? I should end you!” He spat and made to go after the priest again, but the steward covered him.

    “Please don’t! She requested for the new name herself and father was just doing her the favor!!!” He cried out, and Klaus held back.

    “Darn it!”

    He smirked before starting to walk out of the church, getting his phone as he walked.

    He dialled his mens’ line…

    “Andrea found. I  have many aces up my sleeves now, prepare for my son’s homecoming” he said, smiling as he finally stepped out.

    RIZZ HOSTEL, JACE’S ROOM*

    After fuçking Jarvis senseless in the pool, Jace brought the afterparty to his room, and right now she’s holding the headboard tight while he’s behind, screwing her from there.

    He really made sure to fulfil his promise of taking her through the back next time, and here they are…

    Their faces and entire body was already so sweaty, but the sweat on her is sure more than his.

    Her hair turned sticky and damp already, sticking to every part of her face so much that Jace had to move it frequently as he gave her thrusts to die for.

    She was a mo@ning mess, releasing every sound that came to her throat without trying to hold back any.

    He held her @ss cheek with an hand while his other found her cl+toris, rubbing it as his d+ck enters her repeatedly.

    She’s so damn tight, but she has gotten used to it, and the pleasure is breathtaking.

    “Oh…my…” She gasped when he thrusted deeply again.

    Her sweaty palms gripped the headboard tighter, they were slipping on the surface as she received another bang.

    “F*+*k!” She cried, the sounds of his skin meeting her @$s echoing in the hot room.

    She started pushing herself to his center too to meet his thrusts, f*+*king herself…

    “You want more, don’t you? S+xy cat” his nasal whisper came as his hand rubbed her cl+t faster….her @ss cheeks clenched.

    “Gawd! Yes! Please…oh …. damn!” She cried as he thrusted yet again, making the bones in her legs lose their holds in her joints.

    The bed started moving on the ground at his intensity, and her face met softly with the wall as his d+ck brutalizes her insides.

    It’s the roughest s+x they’ve ever had, but will she be nuts to say she loves it most?

    The slaps their skins produce, the glowing sweat on their bodies, his right hand on her @$s cheeks and the left on her cl+t while his d+ck idolizes her pu+$y is the sweetest thing ever…

    She can’t even get enough of this ecstatic moment.

    She reached her peak two times already, and she’s still as active as f*+*k…

    Jace’s movements suddenly became slow, slow but deep as he bent over her back.

    His frame over her that way is so satisfying as his lips found the nape of her neck, licking and sucking on it till it left a hickey.

    “I love how your pu+$y hugs my d+ck every damn time, your tightness drives me so crazy that I can’t stop thinking of it anytime i hear the word tight…” He whispered, and gawd f*+*king damn it! She dripped so much immediately.

    He knows how hard his dirty words affect her, and he’s knowingly doing this.

    “Jace please…” She muttered, pushing herself to his center again, begging him to f*+*k her hard, but he still didn’t move.

    “Say it” he replied, still not moving.

    “Don’t stop anymore, just…f*+*k it” she replied, and he palmed her be+asts as he raised his frame from her back.

    “Hold the headboard tighter and bend lower” he ordered, and she did.

    She received the hardest thrust of her life immediately, and her voice broke as he kept it up, hitting every bit of her insides.

    “Oh yeah! More please! More!” She cried,, her cheek resting on the wall once again as she incredulously received his feral thrusts.

    She asked for this, and she has to deal with it.

    She was starting to reach the fourth peak, she could feel it as his banging grew merciless.

    “Jace! Jace I’m about to….gosh!”

    She couldn’t take it anymore as she panted breathlessly.

    Jace continued the roughness, not letting her go till he could feel his shots too…

    “Oh my f*+*king gawd!” She screamed, and before he could pour, he pulled out of her, and she knelt in front of him.

    He poured everything directly on her b*+*bs, and the warmness made her feel so good that she licked some with her pointer finger as her own juices flowed down her thighs.

    “F*+*k it, that’s the s+xiest thing I’ve ever seen” Jace said as they both felt a rush of cold air on their gummy skins.

    She looked up at him with wild eyes, and he didn’t understand that look till she took his boner into her mouth.

    “Gawd damnit! Little cat!” He groaned.

    He wasn’t expecting that, but he sure loves how his little cat is driving him crazy right now.

    His cû👀m dripping off of her b👀bs, her juicy thighs and sticky hair on her face, her warm mouth on his d+ck.

    He has always longed to see her like this, but he wasn’t expecting her to call the shots first…

    She looks so hot, yet innocent. She looks like an angel and the devil at once, so sweet and gawd damn dirty as she worked her tongue around his shaft, swirling and flicking.

    No doubt, she read Wet Kisses countless times which explains why she’s so damn good…

    He felt himself at the back of her throat severally, and his head just spins.

    “F*+*k!… little cat” he groaned countlessly, grabbing her hair to push her closer to his growing length.

    He could feel her gag, so he lessened his hold as he grew even bigger in her mouth.

    “Damn! I love you” he blurted as the hotness gushed out of him.

    She pulled him out of her mouth, and some of his c+m stained her lips while the rest wet her b👀bies again, creating a flowing river of it down her tummy.

    “Did that feel good?” She asked so innocently, and he picked her up in his arms, kissing her hard ….

    “I’m proud of you baby” he whispered on her lips, kissing her harder which earned a s+xy m0@n.

    They were still kissing as he walked into the bathroom with her.

    …

    An hour later, they’re both clean and clothed already, cuddling warmly in bed…Jarvis has her snacks around her as usual.

    Jace kept kissing her hair repeatedly, stroking it gently.

     Anyone who enters right now wouldn’t believe they’re the ones who just had wild rough sweet s+x.

    “We’re going on our helicopter date immediately we write our last papers next week” he said

    “I’ve been eagerly waiting for that” she replied, taking his hand to kiss.

    She knowingly stained it with some of her cake icing, and he licked it, making her chuckle.

    “And we’ll have time for your therapy too” she said.

    “That boring stuff” he muttered, kissing her hair again.

    “You didn’t change your mind, right? You promised me” she said.

    “I never go back on my words, baby” he replied.

    “And about Nicole…

    “Can we not?” He interrupted.

    “Jace what if she’s really Andrea??” She replied.

    “Urrg! You love ruining moods” he groaned.

    “I know you don’t believe her but allow her to prove herself. Ok fine we all know she’s a bad person but she might not be totally bad. I once thought you were worse too but here we are now” she said.

    “Don’t compare me to her” he replied.

    “Seriously? Jace” she faced him.

    “The cute and lovely Andrea I have in my head is so far from what Nicole is” he said, and she puffed.

    “You don’t expect her to be the same, I mean…she was kidnapped, injected, affected with many disorders, she even had to sleep with big men to pay her bills….

    “And that part…that was exactly what Brenda did and I hate it like damn. She said she found out about me since our second year, how come she didn’t reveal herself since then? I would have taken care of her. I’m rich as f*+*k and you know it, I’ve got shit load of money and I could have spent it on her too but she chose the big men, just like Brenda” Jace said all at once.

    “Now I get this. You accept her as Andrea already, but you’re mad that she reminds you of your mum” Jarvis said, and he turned away.

    “Ok, let’s not talk about it anymore ok? I want my sweet boyfriend back” she said, and he turned back to her.

    She caressed his face, and he smiled.

    “I love you” she said.

    “I love you” he replied, kissing her lightly before returning her head to his chest.

    His phone boozed, and he inhaled when he saw it’s a text from Collins.

    “You grew closer these days, he texts you almost every hour” Jarvis commented.

    “We’re up to something” Jace smiled mischievously.

    *

    A WEEK LATER*

    The hostel is starting to empty out as students are already leaving for the three weeks break.

    Exams is officially over, and next semester starts next month.

    Some students aren’t travelling home though, students like Nicole.

    She always spent her breaks with her sugar daddies, but now that she showed herself to Jace…even if he’s yet to accept her, she has to stop.

    She’ll be spending her break at the hostel.

    She went to the cafe to get herself some coffee and she’s already coming back, but strangely, she felt eyes on herself.

    She turned back but saw no one, except scanty students who’re in the corridor.

    She resumed her walk, faster than before till she got to the room.

    She could hear kissing sounds, and she stood by the door as Scarlett broke her kiss with Ronnie.

    “Nicole!” She stood.

    Ronnie gave her a irritating look.

    “I’ll be outside” Nicole made to leave…

    “No I was actually waiting to say bye to you. I’m traveling home today” Scarlett said.

    “Oh…I guess we’ll see each other next semester then” Nicole replied.

    “Sure” Scarlett said, grabbing her bag, but Ronnie took it from her immediately, dragging it behind as they left together.

    They met Gabby at the front porch alone, and Scarlett waved at him.

    “See you next semester!” 

    “Sure!” Gabby smiled.

    She left afterwards, and Gabby was about to sigh out when Jenna appeared.

    “Not going home?” She asked.

    “Yeah, I love this hostel when students around around. Dad is always busy at the hospital too so there’s no point in going home” he replied.

    “Me too! I’m staying at my friend’s room here!” she gushed.

    “Really?”

    “Yeah, because of you though. I like being with you” she replied, and he squinted

    “Oh…

    She picked nervously on her nails, and he smiled when he noticed.

    “Let’s go to my room” he said.

    “Seriously?” Her face brightened.

    “Craig and Dorothy left already… Jace and Jarvis too, so…” He shrugged.

    “Sure” she held his arm, and they walked back in.

    *

    SWAN STREET*

    Jace’s Bentley halted in front of the house, and he came out with Jarvis who’s holding Milo.

    She was smiling as he carried her bag out of the trunk, and they kissed.

    “You can’t just stay away from my lips” she said, and he winked, making her chuckle.

    They walked to the door together, and Caroline opened up before they could even knock.

    “Aunt Caroline!” Jarvis hugged her tightly, and the woman hugged her back immediately.

    “Tell me how your exams went” she said, taking the cute cat from her.

    “I promise you A in all my courses” Jarvis replied, and Jace smiled…her confidence is peaking.

    “I’ll look forward to that” Caroline smiled and faced Jace.

    “How’re you doing, thug?” She asked, and he frowned a bit.

    “Cool, you?” He replied.

    “Not bad, but make sure you don’t break or burn anything during your stay. I’ll make something for you both” she said comfortably, and Jarvis laughed as she walked into the kitchen.

    “Thug, ion like the nickname” he muttered.

    “C’mon jerk, I’ll show you my room” Jarvis pulled him in.

    “I knew it, purple shade… You’re damn obsessed with the colour” he said.

    “Don’t judge me” she chuckled, pushing him to the bed.

    “So, first thing we do in your house is s+x?” He said.

    “Gawd! I can’t with you” she laughed, laying on his chest.

    “C’mon” he chuckled, grabbing her @ss.

    “You’re gonna stay with me till tommorow morning before going to the orphanage right? Don’t go today” she pouted.

    “If your aunt allows it” he replied.

    “Of course! And about Nicole…

    “Not again” he sighed.

    “But she’s still your sister nevertheless, what if Klaus gets to her?” She replied.

    “Klaus doesn’t know her grown face, so stop it” he replied.

    “And Klaus has been silent too, you think it’s dangerous?” She asked.

    “It is, but you’re always with me so getting you is impossible. He’ll be going after someone else, but I have plans too” he replied.

    “What plans?” Jarvis asked curiously.

    *

    A ROAD*

    “Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream… merrily/4× life is but a dream!”

    The kids were singing loudly in their school bus as it drove them back from school.

    They’re kids from Hope Orphanage, the name was written boldly on the bus.

    The driver always sang with them, but he’s not saying anything today, and Camille worried about that.

    “Are you ok sir?” She asked from the midst of kids, but no answer came.

    She walked to the front and tapped his shoulder.

    “Are you ok?” She asked again, and he turned back slowly, but her eyes widened when she saw it’s not their driver.

    It’s another person wearing mask and cap.. one of Klaus men to be precise.

    “Argghhhhh!!!!!!!” She screamed, and the kids started panicking as the drive became too fast.

    He didn’t even care, carrying out Klaus orders is his concern.

    The kids are one of the things that can bring Jace’s head down, and once Klaus have them, he’d bend.

    Klaus only needs one son, and it has to be Jace no matter what, he’s the only useful one.

    The kids were still screaming when a secret compartment opened at the back of the bus, and another person came out…. Collins.

    The kids were about to yelp again when he placed a finger on his lips for them, and they went silent

    Their sudden silence made the driver look back,but his throat was met with a knife from Collins.

    He lost his life straight, and Collins literally flew to the front to gain control of the wheel  

    He brought the car back to lane,, but he parked it almost immediately.

    He got the kids out of the car , and another car came for them, taking them back to the orphanage.

    Collins checked the phone of the dead man, and he was able to find their hideout that way.

    He used his mask and face cap before starting the drive.

    It’s a pretty long one, and the clock was already ticking 6pm when he arrived in the only gawd knows.

    Klaus was already waiting in front of of the lonely house, but he’s not alone.

    The remaining men are behind him, and Nikki is beside him, looking obviously scared.

    He stopped the car right in front of them, and thanks to his mask and cap, they didn’t detect fast.

    He came out of the car, and Klaus was about to question him about the kids absence when he drew his gun.

    Klaus and his men were met unawares so it was impossible to retaliate that instant.

    Immediately Collins shot at him, Klaus grabbed Nikki, covering himself with him.

    The long bullet flew directly to Nikki’s chest.

    Shackles Of Tradition – Episode 2

    Written by Amah’s Heart 

    _______________________________

    ” Ada..my love are you sure this is what you truly want…?” Emeka asked to be sure his ears weren’t deceiving him and indeed he heard his girlfriend correctly.

    Adanna wants a bløød oath!

    ” Yes my love. Lets have a bløød oath, that’s the only way we’ll both be rest assured of our love and commitment to each other no matter the long distance or years we stay apart” Adanna answered with a serious look on her face. Obviously she isn’t joking at all.

    ” I know my love but I don’t think it’s reason enough to do what you’re requesting of me. We just need to put our minds into staying committed and I’m sure we’ll scale through…it’s as simple as that!” Emeka exclaimed with displeasure boldly written on his face 

    ” Emeka, you think waiting for you to come back for me in the next four to five years is as easy as you make it seem…? I’ll be over twenty eight years of age by then and as a woman I’ll have to remain unmarried in my father’s house. I know it isn’t right but I still need to be sure I’m not wasting my time waiting for you!” Adanna blurted out ângrily and the displeased look on Emeka’s face slowly dissolved and he spoke gently this time.

    ” I know Ada but..but.. you remember the warnings of our ancestors against taking bløød oaths…don’t you think it will be too extreme to go that far…? Ada please think this through because honestly I don’t feel good about this at all!” Emeka said hoping that his words will help in changing Adanna’s sense of reasoning but she remained adamant.

    ” I’m serious Emeka. That’s the only way I can permit you to accept the scholarship offer from the missionaries which will eventually take you far away from me. If you don’t agree to having an oath with me then I’ll take it as though we are officially breaking up…” She stopped to take in a deep breath and then continued talking 

    “…After that I’ll go on and accept one of my many suitors here in the village and move on with my life…while you do same over there in the city!” Adanna concluded folding her hands stubbornly

    Emeka stared at Adanna as he contemplates whether to listen to Adanna and oblige to her desires or he shouldn’t do it. 

    Honestly, he understands her fears perfectly because he also loves Adanna very much and wouldn’t want to lose her neither does he sees a future without her in it.

    Emeka sighed heavily as he finally decided to give into Adanna’s request. After all, he equally needs the bløød oath as an assurance to be sure that he will also not be wasting his time holding onto their relationship when he’s away from the village.

    ” It’s okay Ada. You’re right…four to five years isn’t a joke. I equally need the reassurance as much as you do so yes! I’ll take the oath with you” Emeka said sincerely and Adanna beamed widely as she jumped on him in a passionate hug.

    ” Thank you so much my love. After we take the oath I would have loved you to have my body as the only man in my life but I know you will not do it because of your strong faith in the God of the missionaries…you won’t want to sin as they call it” Adanna said smirking shyly and Emeka bursted into a loud laughter

    ” You’re right Ada. I’ll never do that particular one even if you are to strip yourself in front of me. I love you and I’m willing to wait for the right time. Your body has never been the reason I love you…I hope you know that right…?”

    ” Of course my love. I love you too and I’ll keep my body for you as my future husband for as long as it will take… Emeka let me start looking for something sharp so we’ll take the oath before we forget” Adanna said frantically looking around for any sharp object she can use to pierce her finger.

    Adanna’s eye continued searching around where they stood but she couldn’t find anything sharp aside the dry leaves littered on the ground. 

    She became frustrated and Emeka who could see the pensive look on her face decided to proffer a solution.

    ” You should calm down my love… remember tomorrow is still another day..? We can use today to go back home and carve out a sharp object from anything strong…then we can meet here again tomorrow evening and take the oath together.. isn’t that okay by you..?”

    Adanna heaved heavily as she nodded vigorously to Emeka’s idea. She stopped searching and fixed her gaze on Emeka

    ” It’s okay Emeka. Your idea isn’t so bad..I like what you’ve said, so like you’ve suggested we’ll meet here tomorrow evening and have the blood covenant…” Adanna replied inaudibly 

    Emeka sighed heavily. 

    He is actually grateful for the little time he’ll have to reflect and really think things through thoroughly to be sure he will be making the right decision. 

    “..so tell me my love…what are your plans by the time you reach the big city…? You know that I still do not understand what the scholarship thing is really all about” Adanna said turning her back to relax comfortably on Emeka

    ” Well according to Father Moses, one of the missionaries here…he said that the scholarship is for my education though I don’t really understand what he means by education but I believe it’s something good. So I’ll just follow the instructions I’ll be given by the time I get to the city” Emeka said shrugging his shoulders 

    ” Okay but what about your feeding and where will you be staying all the while you are going to be over there…? I am worried for your welfare Emeka” Adanna said softly with worry laced in each of the words she uttered 

    ” You do not have to be worried my love…the missionaries assured my mother and I that they have it all covered. They mentioned something like I’ll be staying at a school hostel though it still sounds strange to me…as for my feeding the said that the scholarship covers all of that in the place I’m going..” Emeka said as he paused to inhale and exhale before he continued his words 

    “…I love you Adanna and I’m promising you that I’ll study harder over there so I’ll come back for you soonest and make you mine forever. I want only you to be my wife in the nearest future my love!”

    Adanna nodded in understanding and did not say anything else. 

    She is quiet and thinking of what life without her boyfriend Emeka is actually going to be like. She’ll miss him for sure.

    It’s sad because all their lives they’ve done practically everything together.

    Undeniably, their closeness and genuine love for each other has attracted lots of enviable eyes. 

    Either from men who felt that they were more deserving of Adanna than Emeka, and from maidens who felt they were a better option for Emeka than Adanna.

    Almost everyone in the village was aware of their relationship but funny enough, amongst their two families it was only Emeka’s mother who knew about them as a couple. 

    This is simply because for all the three years of their relationship together, they had managed to hide their relationship status from Adanna’s family whom they know would never approve of Emeka marrying their daughter because of his poor financial status and many other things.

    And now after everything they’ve had to endure to get this far, she is supposed to stay without Emeka for years..? 

    Oh! It stings Adanna badly and has her thoughts running wild in distress.

    As for Emeka, his mind was unsettled about what lies ahead of him after he leaves the village he has lived all his life to an unknown City.

    He is going to miss his widowed mother and wonders how she’s going to cope without him around to protect her from his father’s self-centered relatives.

    As for his girlfriend Adanna…? 

    Emeka is going to miss her a lot, the fun memories they’ve created together is going to haunt and have him missing her all the time.

    So how is he going to cope over there without having Adanna with him…?

    In Emeka’s mind, he is equally wondering if it is a good idea to venture into what Adanna is suggesting that they do tomorrow before he leaves to the city. 

    Is it really a safe decision to take the bløød convenant with Adanna..?

    _______________________________

    ” Ada..my love are you sure this is what you truly want…?” Emeka asked to be sure his ears weren’t deceiving him and indeed he heard his girlfriend correctly.

    Adanna wants a bløød oath!

    ” Yes my love. Lets have a bløød oath, that’s the only way we’ll both be rest assured of our love and commitment to each other no matter the long distance or years we stay apart” Adanna answered with a serious look on her face. Obviously she isn’t joking at all.

    ” I know my love but I don’t think it’s reason enough to do what you’re requesting of me. We just need to put our minds into staying committed and I’m sure we’ll scale through…it’s as simple as that!” Emeka exclaimed with displeasure boldly written on his face 

    ” Emeka, you think waiting for you to come back for me in the next four to five years is as easy as you make it seem…? I’ll be over twenty eight years of age by then and as a woman I’ll have to remain unmarried in my father’s house. I know it isn’t right but I still need to be sure I’m not wasting my time waiting for you!” Adanna blurted out ângrily and the displeased look on Emeka’s face slowly dissolved and he spoke gently this time.

    ” I know Ada but..but.. you remember the warnings of our ancestors against taking bløød oaths…don’t you think it will be too extreme to go that far…? Ada please think this through because honestly I don’t feel good about this at all!” Emeka said hoping that his words will help in changing Adanna’s sense of reasoning but she remained adamant.

    ” I’m serious Emeka. That’s the only way I can permit you to accept the scholarship offer from the missionaries which will eventually take you far away from me. If you don’t agree to having an oath with me then I’ll take it as though we are officially breaking up…” She stopped to take in a deep breath and then continued talking 

    “…After that I’ll go on and accept one of my many suitors here in the village and move on with my life…while you do same over there in the city!” Adanna concluded folding her hands stubbornly

    Emeka stared at Adanna as he contemplates whether to listen to Adanna and oblige to her desires or he shouldn’t do it. 

    Honestly, he understands her fears perfectly because he also loves Adanna very much and wouldn’t want to lose her neither does he sees a future without her in it.

    Emeka sighed heavily as he finally decided to give into Adanna’s request. After all, he equally needs the bløød oath as an assurance to be sure that he will also not be wasting his time holding onto their relationship when he’s away from the village.

    ” It’s okay Ada. You’re right…four to five years isn’t a joke. I equally need the reassurance as much as you do so yes! I’ll take the oath with you” Emeka said sincerely and Adanna beamed widely as she jumped on him in a passionate hug.

    ” Thank you so much my love. After we take the oath I would have loved you to have my body as the only man in my life but I know you will not do it because of your strong faith in the God of the missionaries…you won’t want to sin as they call it” Adanna said smirking shyly and Emeka bursted into a loud laughter

    ” You’re right Ada. I’ll never do that particular one even if you are to strip yourself in front of me. I love you and I’m willing to wait for the right time. Your body has never been the reason I love you…I hope you know that right…?”

    ” Of course my love.
