Chapter Six
Her body seemed frail as I looked at her through hooded eyes. This wouldn't have happened if she hadn't provoked me. I didn't care though, I had gotten what I wanted. Her body and sex.
I smiled like a sadist. Scratch that, I was a sadist and a notorious rapist. When I saw Ada that afternoon or evening, I can't seem to remember the time frame, I was a bit mesmerized by her beauty. Not in a way, that screamed she's the one forever but in the way that screamed, I want her body beneath me as I rode her to oblivion.
I didn't crave a one-time affair. I wanted it to be a repeated thing, to achieve that I needed her to trust me. She seemed to be an easy catch but then I was stunned I wasn't getting the desired effect. My charm was failing and Joyce had informed me in her bubbly manner that she'd be staying for three days.
I couldn't let her slip past my fingertips without having her. I'd try all I could do and this is the most patient I've ever been with a girl

I was jerked back to life much to my disappointment. I guess I am stuck in this world. I don't remember fainting all the time and I hoped it won't keep on happening while I was still here. Seeing that am not leaving this world anytime soon, I need to sit up. The event that turned my life from bad to worse played in my head like a tape gone bad. Would I ever find happiness? Who would have thought that Emeka would act in such a way? Ha!! Life is pain. It was filled with so many twists and turns. We truly were pencils in the hands of the creator. Why did you bring me into this world Lord? Was I only meant to suffer? Tears stung my eyes. On impulse, I touched my belly. If I heard my mom correctly, I was pregnant. The thought of my mom tasted bitter. She was another problem, I did not want to think of. If I were to have this baby, I won't allow her to suffer like this. If anything else, I would shower her with love.As I was still meditating, the door o

"Adanna! Adanna!" A voice screamed, rattling me from a dreamless sleep. I opened my eyes slowly, still feeling weak and unlike myself which made me a bit worried. I didn't know if it was morning sickness or the aftermath of a stressful week that was taking its toll on me. "Adanna!" My name sounded clearer, now I was more awake. I got up from bed with slight difficulty. "Ma!" I left the sanctuary of my room, quickening my pace towards the sound of the voice, ignoring all my thoughts and immediate pain. I met mama Tina standing at the dining area. It was clear, she'd just had her breakfast. The empty cups and empty bread bag on the table proved this. I hoped I could eat something before I got to work. I was famished. "Look at the time." Mama Tina snapped. I looked at the wall clock, it was 10 am. "I am sorry, I overslept." I apologised quietly. "This should be the first and last time this would repeat itself, do you under

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" I shouted. "Stop being a baby, don't you realise all you stand to gain if you will be my lover?” He placated as his hand shamelessly groped my breast and nipple. I pushed his hands off me with the little strength I’d conserved for tomorrow’s duty. I was painfully aware my stomach was empty which meant I was starving and my energy reserve was going towards the red buttons but somehow I knew this won’t be another Emeka situation. I mustn’t put up with it. I mustn’t. "What I would get is nothing but shame. I won't let you decorate my life with shame! Now, leave this room.” I pointed towards the door as my heart beat faster. “Get out!” He smiled at me. “Funny girl you are, Ada. This is my house and you order me out? Do you think it works like that? I own everything here including you. So, let’s save the drama. Open up, I need to fill my seed deep inside your womb.” He caught my wrists, pinning them over my head.

I wondered how I was going to go about it. Ada was a bit sensitive now and hence she could act irrationally. Out of frustration, I went to the balcony. The trees swaying outside the window pane brought a sense of comfort to me. It was so nice to have a clean-tree fused environment, it enabled a stressed-out person to relax.I poured a glass of beer and enjoyed a sip while placing the bottle on the plastic table. Yes, the bitter taste was what I needed. Maybe, I should follow her slyly, so that I can make her agree. What was the plan be if she refused?I couldn't think of anything, I was completely clueless. Lost I was in my thoughts, that I didn't realise when someone tapped me on my shoulder."Jumoke! Jumoke!! Jumoke!!!" someone screamed.I jumped out of my skin when she screamed. "What happened?" I turned around anxiously, spilling the drink on the person's shirt. Looking up, it was no other than Ifunanya."You scared me." I sna

A sound that seemed to be from knuckles and fists tickled my eardrums incessantly, rousing me up from a restless sleep. I tried to focus on where the sounds were emitting from while making conscious efforts to stop the headache that brewed in the middle of my brain. It took a minute to note the sounds came as a knock. Someone was desperate to get into my room. “Who is there?” My voice came out rough. “Ify.” "I am coming!" I grumbled. I got out of bed slowly. My morning breath stank and that wasn’t the worst part. There was no water to parch my taste. This may not be a good sign. I better not dwell on the negative aspects of my life consistently. I was miserable, yes, but I shouldn’t make it habitual if I need to survive. I finally opened the door for Ifunanya. She was dressed in skimpy wear that left nothing to the imagination. I swallowed hard as I stepped aside for her to come in. "Were you going to sleep a whole day?" Ifunanya asked

"Welcome to Hot and Wanting boutique!" The officers-in-charge greeted us as we walked through the doors.I smiled at them, but the others ignored them like they had not said a word. Wasn't it rude to ignore them that way? I looked away from the officers, my cheeks hot."Let's try this section." Pelummi pointed to the casual section on the left."I would really need some comfortable outfits to slay while I'm home with my baby," Ify announced."Your baby? Please, just call those potbellies sugar daddy." Tope mocked.Ify waved her off as we walked through various rows of outfits. They were all beautiful and looked incredibly cosy. Unable to resist, I flicked my hands through the materials softly.The shop keeper arranged them according to shades. It was all very aesthetic to the eyes. There was a wool sweater that caught my eyes and I imagined wearing it when my tummy started

We arrived at Jumi's house at six on the dot. I was beyond exhausted as I sat hunched in the backseat. Tope honked to alert the gateman. I found myself straightening up while reaching for my bags and purses that sat leisurely on the floor, thanks to the sound.After five blasts of the horn, the gateman finally emerged from the safety of the compound. When he noted who we were, he retreated into the compound and opened the gates for us to drive in."Welcome!" He spoke as Tope drove into the compound.I smiled at him through the glass. Tope parked in front of the house, not the garage. I didn't wait for them to get out, but quickly jumped out of the car, with my bags secured firmly in my hands. I walked briskly into the house; my eyes trained on the stairs that would lead me to my room."Adanna."I sighed as I turned around to face Jumoke. She was perched on the sofa in the living area, look

I hope you enjoy it. 😍 CHAPTER FOURTEEN NINE MONTHS LATER "You need to see the way this guy was acting," I said as I sipped my beer. "I know you've got him caged, girl," Pelummi said through a haze of cigarette smoke. We were sitting at an isiewu joint. It was our go-to when we needed to entertain ourselves and catch fresh fish without Jumi knowing of it. I gluttonously took every opportunity to make extra cash. No one ever says no to money. Today, we
