Charles
It was a minute past ten when I arrived at my mom's house to pick up Ruby. Mom's house was thirty minutes drive away from my house. I felt it was better for Ruby to stay at her granny's than hiring a nanny to look after her. So I always left her at my mlm's house, spend an hour or two with her, before returning to the office.
"Good evening, Charles." Mom greeted when I went into her view. She was sitting on the sofa in her sitting room, reading the bible with her thick lensed glasses on.
I stared into that once beautiful face which was now wrinkled from old age. She was sixty two but age quickly. Currently looking like she gained twenty years in existence to her appearance. Because of the H.B.P and diabetes she had.
She also had a short hair which had the variat
MiaRachael Okafor, the owner of Five Star Luxury Hotel at Lekki was hosting a party that evening in her hotel.Only the wealthy people in town had access to be invited; Ministers, Commissioners, Musicians, Celebrities, and so on.But somehow, I stole the invitation card from the post man who was delivering the invitation cards.I was at the park that saturday afternoon, watching parents, children and young couples having fun, and letting the cool breeze soothe my physical frame, when a postman stopped his motorcycle at the side of where I was sitting. And hurried into the bushy part of the park to take a piss. Poor guy must have been pressed.The nosy part of me urged me to stand up, take the lead of the box, and peeked in. That was how I saw Rachel Okafor's name written on one of the inv
AlexShe stared at me oddly, with her eyes studying my face. I knew it was stupid of me grabbing her by the arm, but I felt the urge to help her."Listen to me." I said, tightening my grip on her arm, when she tried breaking free from my hold. Raising her head up to look at me, her face twisted into a giant scowl."I saw and heard everything that occurred between you and the usher guy at the door. I'll help you get a dress." I offered.Her big eyes shone and her sassy mouth quivered.Although, she was dressed like a boy, but that couldn't disguise the fact that she was pretty. She was light skinned, tall, bony with no curves and gangly. Big bulgy eyes and full luscious lips. She wasn't smiling but her dimples were visible.
MiaI made my way into Ben&Jj'sthat same evening after my encounter with the rude lawyer. After I had alighted from his car, I took a cab to Ben&Jj's.It was one of my favoriteeatery. The atmosphere was always cool and lovely. Plus taste of food was like heaven. It was the second place that made me feel at comfy.There every one minded his or her business because they were after the delicious taste of their delicacy.Food at Been& Jj's was at a very affordable price, that was the main reason I chose it as my favourite.I slumped on a chair, not too far from the kitchen entrance. That was my favorite tabletop. I watched as the heavy fans hung the celling spun lazily, decreasing the smell of varieties of mouth watering meals. And it made me forget about
MiaI frowned, wondering why wealthy people derived pleasure in showing off their wealth. Who the heck would come to Ben&Jj's with a convoy? Obviously the person wanted to showcase his wealth. I hissed.A very huge guy hopped out from the limousine, walked up to me, and informed me that his boss wanted to see me. This statement got me pissed and amused the same time."Who the hell is your boss? And why does he wants to see me?"I asked scowling up at him. Then it occurred to me that it might be Rachael who had wanted to see me. Perhaps, she was told about me, and has made the decision to meet with me.The anger I had in me died down, when that floated over my head."Listen to me, if you don't get your flat ass into the car, I'm going to have to force you in myself."
MiaHis right eye was tied with a tiny piece of black clothing. And from that part downwards was disfigured. Like they had skinked acid on that side of his face.As if he'd read my thoughts, he thought about something for a few seconds, his muscles ticking along his jaw. Then he said in an undertone."Oh, that." He rubbed the said face part.It was disgusting, I had to look away to avoid vomiting."It's a result of the injury I sustained from a police officer. He shot me in the eye."As if I cared to know. I muttered under my breath, winning against the urge to roll my eyes. I allowed my gaze to dart all over him.Terror clenched my insides because I knew why he sent Hulk to ho
MiaDrugs were brought out from those duffle bags.I hurriedly slipped out my camera from my bag, switched off the sound, and began video shooting Tunde Ibrahim and his men. While my audiotape was in my pants pocket, recording their conversation.They were talking about boarding a ship that night, to a neighboring country where they'd sell the bags of cocaine.Just then, his phone started ringing, and he took the call. He and the caller were talking about an house of representative member they'd assassinate on the morrow.They bargained on the amount of money that'd would be paid after the work done.I couldn't video
MiaI knew I couldn't let go of my bag because it contained all the evidence the government would use in arresting Tunde Ibrahim. I had been so stupid thinking about climbing fences and had forgotten to take my bag, along with me while climbing the stupid fence.The dog gave out a loud bark and I winced. He gave out another bark, I closed my eyes in dismay.Just then, it occurred to me that I had two chocolate candies Inside my pant's pocket. I reached for it, and started peeling of the wrap. While peeling the wrapping, the dog watched me. I threw the chocolate candy at him when I was done with unveiling the wrap. And the dog caught it mid-air, flattened his ears and started chewing the candy. When he was through, he looked up at me, hoping for another one."Ingrate." I hissed at him.
AlexReturning from a bar that same night I had met with the crazy reporter, I got numerous calls, texts from Rachael and Bolu. But I wasn't in the mood to talk, or reply text messages. i kept declining and they were hell bent on calling, because they refused to give up.Most especially Rachael.I wondered why Rachael was pestering the shit outta me. At first, she had doubted I would win the case for her. And when I did win the case, she started getting interested in me. Always calling to check up on me as if I was some kind of a deformed old man at a retirement home.She even invited me to her party which I couldn't attend because of the reporter that ruined my mood. And now, she was calling when the time read 10:52pm.I scrolled down to Bolu's miss
