Tanya took in a deep breath as Carl announced that they have arrived at the venue. For all her bravado, she knew that this day and whatever the outcome turned out to be would have a very huge impact on her career one way or the other but she is not backing down now. The bastard had it long coming and if she didn’t stand up for herself today and for any more people like her who had been wronged so badly but why couldn’t talk mainly because they were afraid of what the world would say.“Developing cold feet?” she heard Magdalene say behind her “You know, as much as I would love to see that bastard humiliated; I would much more love for you not to do something you might regret later. If you truly want to do this, I fully support you but if not; we can simply turn back right now. Not showing up at the event and leaving the coward stranded at the altar is also sweet revenge as well. I can picture him right now fuming, and almost frothing at the mouth as the paparazzi go snap, snap, snap i
“She is good “ Ayodele muttered to Tanya who nodded her eyes with tears in her eyes.“Yes, I am so lucky to have her”“Are you okay?”“I am fine, I just …what she said the other time made me realize just how much I have overlooked things. Did you hear what she said he did?”Ayodele nodded.“I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if he had done more damage than he did”“It wasn’t your fault”They both turned their head towards the door as Magdalene’s voice raised.“So ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the incomparable Tanya Darlington!”“That is our cue!” she said and pulled him towards the entrance.“What am I doing?” Ayodele thought fleetingly and the next moment all thoughts were out of his head as he saw the crowd waiting for them.Flashes after flashes go off in his face and he wondered how Tanya is not blinded by now from all these flashes whenever she had to be out.“We love you, Tanya!”“You and Martinez are the very best couple in Nollywood and beyond!”“We do. Wait, who is tha
"Chase him! Don’t let him get away! Make sure you take him down!”Tanya sat up as she heard the approaching feet and commotion as a group of men seemed to be chasing someone.“Oh great! She sniffled and added the mangled tissue paper in her hand to the growing pile on the passenger seat. ” Just my luck! A girl can’t even wallow in her misery in peace? Is it too much to ask for a moment of solitude?” She shouted to the roof of her car and then quickly shut her mouth when she saw a man dart out of a corner, running full speed towards where her car was parked in the dark away from the streetlights.Tanya mistakenly flashed her lights while she was fumbling around for her phone on the console and quickly switched it off back but the guy had looked right at her in that fleeting moment.Tanya was taken aback by the sheer terror on his face.“Nobody should be that afraid” then she shook her head when she realized belatedly that he was not just intending to run past her. He was running to her
“What? What who went back for?” Tanya asked anxiously. With her heart in her mouth and the thought that she might end up dead after all.“There were five of them! Been wondering where the fifth one was!” He shouted.“What did he…..oh!” She said as she saw headlights flashing at them from behind “He went to get the car! Great! What would my mother say?! She would be so heartbroken! Oh my God, I am not even twenty-four yet. I can’t die before I clock thirty. That just makes no sense” she rambled on in panic as she tried to envision her parents face when they told them that she was no more.“Damn! They are gaining upon us! Stay down! He shouted as he bent down close to the steering wheel barely seeing where he was going. Another bullet whizzed by where his head had just been then another struck the fender, then another, and another. The men seemed intent on riddling the car with bullets till it stopped.Tanya flinched with each striking sound as she tried not to scream out loud.“The iro
“Sanmi, please I need a room!” The man said urgently to the guy at the counter after scanning the faces of the people who are inside. The guy tossed him a key urgently with a raised brow.“I will explain later, Let’s go,” he said to Tanya then turned back to the guy who was looking at her curiously “I am not here, Sanmi,” he said to the guy meaningfully.The guy nodded without a sound, giving Tanya a respectful nod.The room was a simple one according to Tanya’s standards. It was a far fetch from what her management team would have ever thought of getting for her. It consists of a bed, a table and a chair and a cable tv set up facing the bed. The toilet/slash bathroom door was open and Tanya could see how small it looked.“Two people would need to stand or walk sideways in there for them to fit or crawl in fact,” she thought in amusement as she envisioned someone crawling on the probably grimy floor just so.Tanya sat heavily on the chair as she thought of what had just happened. Some
"Wow! What is this? What is going on?" Ayodele thought fleetingly as the bundle of energy in his arms came on to him with fervour. Ayo had always prided himself as a man's man through and he wasn't about to complain about his luck.It wasn't every day that a man goes from narrowly escaping death to ending up in the arms of a crazily beautiful woman, all in the space of an hour.He was bowled over with the hint of desperation in the way she was tearing at him yet he matched her fervour without backing down. Buttons flew as they tried to get a better hold of each other.They rolled on the bed, one trying to take control and the other not seceding. The temperature in the room heightened and the staccato whirring from the ceiling fan was barely sufficient as steam rises off them.Ayodele swore as his tight belt made it impossible for her to unbutton his fly. He sat up, capturing her mouth in a steaming kiss as he hurriedly unbuckled his belt.Tanya packed back her hair away from her face
He moved to the sink to fill the glass."Well, I hate to put anything to waste. Anything at all, especially when that thing could be useful," she said, licking her lips like she was tasting it."Damn, you really would enjoy that, won't you?" He said as he moved back to the bed to offer her the water."Hmmm hmmm," she purred. Looking at him seductively from beneath her lashes as she stretched her hands slowly to take the glass from him."You are thirsty, ain't you? He asked."You bet, very thirsty" she replied with a hot look that made Ayo almost lose it."We have to get some water in you then"He moved the water out of her reach and drank it, keeping some in his mouth as he climbed the bed. He captured her mouth in his, slowly trickling the water into her mouth.Tanya felt like she would explode. She had no idea that a man could ever make her feel like this. She moaned into his mouth as the water that had been warmed from his mouth made her feel like she is taking him in her mouth "I
Ayodele growled silently “Damn, she just had to say it,” he thought as his anger rose and he flung his hands as he faced her again. “A quick fuck? That was what I was? Wow, how nice of you, empress, to choose me, this peasant for this amazing task” he said sarcastically. “Are you satisfied with my performance or you would like a recap while you think of the man you are about to work down the aisle with, in fact, why don’t we extend this arrangement to after your wedding too? I mean, a woman with your appetite wouldn’t be satisfied with an impotent man in her bed” he said, deliberately being mean to cover the hurt he felt growing in him at that moment. She looked at him like he was crazy “Who said anything about him being impotent?” Then she laughed in a demeaning manner, at least that was how she sounded to him as she turned to face him forgetting that she was still totally naked all the way down except for her bra which she had put on or maybe she just didn’t care. “Awwn, poor Ayo
