FOR YOU, I KILLED
A strange girl who had just relocated to Geodan: a small city, moved into a house considered demonic by the people. Bored and new in the country, she gets acquainted with her only neighbour: Drake, since the rest had deserted the street after the strange death of the old couples who had once lived in that house.
Maeve, the direct opposite of Drake - a nerd who wants nothing but to be left alone - drags him to her kind of her life and in the process, he falls deeply for her.
However, she doesn't feel the same for him. To her, not all men are meant for a relationship. While some are meant to be just friends, Drake is just that man.
Drake on the other hand doesn't share such views with her, and to him, there is just one person coming in the way of her love for him. To him, he would only earn her love if gets rid of that one person and though it was going to be hard, he was ready to take the risk but so many things go wrong.

Chapter: TWELVE"So this is it?""Honestly, you won't understand." He muttered."Then make me understand. Don't you think I deserve to understand?" She brought her arms to the air and dropped it almost immediately. Her eyes narrowed when he didn't say anything other than stare at the wall like there was something interesting happening there."Is it. . ." She began, her voice almost cracking. "Is it because of her?"Drake's head jerked to look at her immediately; his face an expression of confusion. "Her?" He was puzzled. "That neighbour of yours. Madeley or whatever her name is." Nicole's eyes were turning red and Drake was getting even more confused. What had Maeve got to do with anything, he wondered. "It is fin

Chapter: ELEVENDrake's fist turned white due to his tight grip on the steering wheel. The booming of music from various stereos made him nauseous. Why did he have to get stuck in this situation?He glanced at Maeve who was already unbuckling her seat belt - quite eager to get out - with a smile on her face. He still couldn't believe she was the same Maeve he knew. He had not been able to recognise her the moment she stepped out of her house in a mini dress, her face coated with heavy makeup that turned her into an entirely different lady. He never knew makeup had the ability to change a person's feature - he had always recognized Nicole each time he saw her: make up or not.Maeve held the door to go but just like she left something behind, she turned immediately to look at Drake who was still sitting."Aren't you getting out?" She asked but he didn't

Chapter: TENHe could still remember how he had reacted when she had first purchased the boom box early that week. He had been sleeping when the loud music woke him up. Angrily, he had stormed to her house, only to say the direct opposite of what he had planned to say.He was still paying for what he had said that day; she had made it a must to play music at least thrice a day and he couldn't complain for he had said he loved it.Walking up the stairs to freshen up, he resolved to treat himself a very delicious meal; he sure deserved it. Besides, it had been quite a while he cooked; he had lived on junk.Water dripped from his hair as he put on his night wear and headed to the kitchen. He opened his cupboard to see what he had. Sighing heavily, he picked the last flour he had, settling to make some pancakes.He sure would have to do the shopping he had been postponing for a while now lest he died of hunger. &nb

Chapter: NINEDrake typed furiously on his keyboard, trying to shut the babbling and chatters going on around him. Everyone seemed to be deeply moved by the upcoming party Josh was throwing.It was not surprising to see Josh throwing a party out of the blues; he was known for this and according to what Drake had heard, his parties was considered the best and worth going."I heard it's gonna be a beach setting." A blonde girl chirped and Drake rolled his eyes. He wished Harold, his boss, would walk in that moment so as to stop this loud cackles going on in the office.It felt like he was in a market as everyone was talking excitedly. It didn't even help that Jeremy was sitting on one of the desks owned by Brownie, with a huge grin on his face.Drake could feel his eyes on him and that contributed to his uneasiness as he took it all out on his keypads; he feared he would spoil the electronic if he

Chapter: EIGHTMaeve looked shocked at his sudden outburst - he did too. He couldn't remember when last he yelled at anyone. He had always been the one to be yelled at and not the other way. His eyes widened and his lips parted as he tried to speak but a gasp was all he could dissipate.Maeve stood up then but before she could get to the door, he held her by the wrist."I'm very sorry. Please, don't go." He pleaded, remorse evident on his face.Her face broke into a grin. "I was going to the kitchen.""Oh!" He muttered. Embarrassment filled him and he let go of her hand.She smiled then and walked into his kitchen, opening and scanning his fridge. He followed her and stood by the door post, watching her. "A bottle of milk? Seriously?" She looked at him.

Chapter: SEVENThe sun was at its peak when Drake woke up the next morning. The bright light emitting from his window despite his curtains being closed, blinded him for a second and he shut his eyes tightly, groaning loudly. He rolled to the other side of his bed, wanting to sleep more when he set his eyes on the wall clock. He sprang up from his bed immediately and let out a frustrated sigh as he dashed into the bathroom with a speed he never knew he possessed. All he could think of was what Ms Silver would say to him for coming late to church.Had his alarm not rang? He wondered. How could he had overslept on a Sunday morning? His lips quivered as the cold water from the shower dropped on his body and in a jiffy, he was already out of his house in a plaid suit and well polished shoes. He had ironed his clothes the previous day for church - one thing he commended himself for.

Chapter: 《 Chapter 30 - Not your Regular Conclusion 》Ademola on the other hand stood aside. Though he didn't understand what they were saying, he could deduce that she was the girl that jilted his friend. Anger welled up in him as he watched."You tossed me around like I was a thing without feelings." Ifeanyi continued. A tear had dropped from his eyes to his annoyance. "You keep doing this to me everytime. You do whatsoever you want without caring about my feelings, then you run back when it doesn't go well, isn't it? You ran away with the same man that abandoned you for so many years. Honestly, I don't know who you are anymore. In fact, I have never known you. I thought I knew you but you proved me wrong. You ran away without a word with your lover and now that something had gone wrong, you run back to me so you can leave me again, right, Oby?"He looked at her then and what he saw almost brought him to his knees. It was a mixture of pain, guilt,

Chapter: 《 Chapter 29 - Opening a Festering Wound 》Obiageli let out a loud sigh, thanking God that she had finally found his room. As she approached it, her heart skipped. She was scared and anxious at the same time.She felt like running back but running to where? Where did she have to run to? It was like no place held promises for her.Standing in front of the black door, she breathed, trying to steady her breathing by inhaling and exhaling. She knocked on the door lightly and waited for a response. She pushed the door when she got none only to discover that it was locked. She mentally cursed herself. Of course, he should be at work.She sat down in front of his door, wondering what she could do to whirl away time and also to calm her anxiety.She felt the same way she had felt when she had broken her father's flower vase. It had been a gift from someone she didn't know to her father and her father had treasured it.

Chapter: 《 Chapter 28 - Finding Ify 》"Stop it, Oby! Stop it, okay? Stop blaming yourself. It is not your fault this happened. You didn't do this intentionally. It is so sad that this happened to Jideze but. . .you don't love him anymore. He knew you were with him because of guilt and pity and that was why he asked you to go. I really don't think I am in the position to say this but you said it yourself. You love Ifeanyi.""I do but what does it matter? He has moved on with someone else. He wouldn't want me anymore." Obiageli wiped her eyes with her palm."How do you know? You can't conclude like that not when you haven't confirmed.""What's there to confirm? Ifeanyi hates me. I've done nothing but bring pain to him. He wouldn't want to see my cursed face.""Stop!" Chinaza cried out. "Please, stop." She said quietly with tears at the brink of her eyelashes. "It's true he might not want you anymore but I won't allow you condemn yo

Chapter: 《 Chapter 27 - Self Condemnation》Just mere thinking about it made a lump form in her throat. Ego touched her lightly, jerking her away from her bitter thought."Are you okay?" Ego asked. Worry and concern written plainly on her face."Yes. I'm fine." Obiageli muttered.Ego studied her for a while before shrugging. "I said his name is Tochukwu Darlington.""What a nice name, though I don't know what 'Darlington' means. I know you named him that."Ego threw her head back as she laughed. "You can bet." She smirked; turning away from her and leaving her to her fate.Rubbing her palms together - an habit she had cultivated whenever she was nervous - she knocked at the well polished door."Who?" Chinaza called out.Deep in Obiageli's mind, she knew Chinaza knew it was her. Nevertheless, she replied and there was no

Chapter: 《 Chapter 26 - Chinaza 》She took a deep sigh; anger already welling up in her. "Obiageli.""Hozannali?" The man asked again and Obiageli was irritated. Who was this man Chinaza kept at her gate to interrogate people? Besides, what language was he speaking? Was it her name he was pronouncing like the botanical name of a plant?"O. Bia. Ge. Li." She broke it down. She had never had any reason to break her name into syllables for anyone. Lagos was really strange, she thought to herself.Back in the bus she had entered to the area Chinaza lived, people chattered in strange language. She felt so lost. She would had missed the bus stop if not for the woman who sat by her side.She had told the woman where she was going and the woman had promised to tell her when they got there. Luckily, she was Igbo so it was easy to communicate with her. It seemed to Obiageli she was the only Igbo woman in the bus."Wait here.
