Chapter 20: Released.

Omotayo. "Has Kingsley finally decided to grace me with his presence?" I ask irritatedly, wondering the bastard sleeps at night knowing there's someone out there suffering because of him. "It's been more than three days already and I'm still tied up here like a dog! Does he not know how uncomfortable it is to wear the same clothes and underwear for more than three days? He should have at the very least provided a change of clothes!" I yell nonstop at poor Gabriel who simply stares back at me with a blank expression on his face but I could definitely tell by his twitching eyes and lips that he was struggling to hold back a laugh. "I can't believe you're actually in the mood to laugh right now. Are you not feeling bad for me? I stink!" I whine childishly and he laughs. "I think he's finally going to show up today but I can't say for sure and I would have helped you get new clothes and

Chapter 21: Freedom

Omotayo Gabriel and I quickly exchanged phone numbers as soon as he arrived at Ikate. He had wanted to wait till he was sure I was safe but since I didn't want him to be seen by Ini, I refused and told him it was best to keep his identity a secret for the time being. I thanked him for the help so far and he handed me a few naira notes in case I would still have to take a public transport before my Ini showed up. I'm honestly doubting I would board a public bus looking this shabby, my hair looked way too bushy since I barely ever make my hair and usually wore wigs, my breath was definitely at its worse and I didn't think I had the confidence to talk to anyone asides Ini in this condition. My clothes were very dirty and a little part of my white pants trousers were already torn and although I didn't really have the courage to look at my face in the mirror properly but from the glimpse I got, I looked like a characte

Chapter 22: Bayo.

Omotayo The sickening stench of drugs, injections, blood and pretty much everything that makes up a hospital started to get to me as soon as I finished eating. I've never liked hospitals and the mere thought of having to spend one more night for supposed observation, irritated me like nothing else. Both Temi and my mom had left after I had repeatedly assured them that I was perfectly fine with staying by myself and though I tried sending Ini home to get proper rest, she quickly refused and since then she hasn't even moved an inch. Not that I mind though since she already assured me she'll only leave when Bayo comes around. "So wait, you're telling me chief Onuh, that man you have a case with had something to do with your release?" She asks. "I can't say for sure but Gabriel, the guy with me had told me chief wasn't aware of his son's hasty decision and I don't know how he got to k

Chapter 23: Frozen Lips.

Omotayo. I still had not regained composure from what just happened. My entire body had suddenly stiffen including my lips and I'm pretty sure I just embarrassed myself one hundred percent. "Oh, I'm so sorry for suprising you like that. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." He quickly apologises and I cover my face in shame and didn't even realise when I growled out loud. "Tayo, are you okay?" He immediately asks, making me wish the floor would just open up and swallow me whole. "I froze! I can't believe actually froze! Why the hell did I freeze?" I yell out loud, temporarily forgetting Bayo was still staring at me but his loud laughter snaps me back to reality and realisation immediately dawn on me that I had said what I said out loud. "You're pretty cute." He compliments but I was too embarrassed to smile at the compliment. "That wasn't cute, it was

Chapter 24: Lunch date.

Omotayo I arrived at work earlier than usual this morning because of how desperate I was to get back to my normal life. I haven't heard from Gabriel since the last time we spoke but I didn't call him first to avoid getting him in more trouble just in case he had already gotten into any trouble. I just hope that he was smart enough to avoid getting caught and was only taking his time before sending the video. I still hadn't spoken to Bayo about Gabriel's involvement or anything in regards to chief Onuh but we had already agreed to meet at his office next week and hopefully by then, Gabriel would have sent the video and it would be easier to explain everything to Bayo and his associates. "Good morning Miss." Maria, my secretary greets as soon as she walks into my office holding a bunch of files with her. "Good Morning Maria. Are those files for me?" I ask almost immediately, wonderi

Chapter 25: Date Night I

Adebayo "Bro, are you sure you actually want to do this?" Bunmi asks for billionth time today and if he dares to ask me one more time, I might end up punching his teeth out. "Bunmi, will you stop pestering me already? What exactly is your problem?" I ask irritatedly, feeling the itch to give him a tight slap. "You already know what my biggest problem is bro. Listen carefully to me, I know you like this girl and I swear I have nothing against how you feel about her and I also don't have anything against her but what I don't want you to do is get involve with a woman that also has chief Onuh hovering over her. You already have enough beef with that man and fighting over a woman with your rival is definitely the straw that breaks that camel's back and at the end of the day, you might end up getting hurt." He blurts out worriedly and I sigh. "You should also listen to me Bunmi. I already told

Chapter 26: Date Night II

Omotayo "You want me to be your girlfriend?" I ask stupidly, wondering why I was still so surprised to hear him ask that. The truth is, part of me already expected this to happen but there's definitely a difference between daydreaming about it and finally hearing it yourself from the lips you've been dying to hear it from. "Yes, I do but there's absolutely no pressure here Tayo. If you're not ready to give me an answer, I'll wait." He assured and I smiled. "Then you won't mind if I give you an answer by the end of night?" I ask. "I definitely won't mind just don't break my poor heart." He says with a sad pout, earning a light smack on his arm. "We'll see about that. By the way, I have something I want to tell you but I don't know if this is the right time to bring it up but still I'm still going to tell you anyways cause I think you deserve to hear it from me to avoid any kind of misunde

Chapter 27: Heartbroken.

Omotayo "Omg! I can't believe it's finally happening. Tayo finally has as a boyfriend o!!" Ini and Angela hollered excitedly and if I wasn't in the comfort of my home, I would have definitely wished for the ground to swallow me whole at the moment. These two girls can be sometimes so embarrassing but doesn't dispute the fact that I love them both very much. Angela has been a really good friend over the years and as for Ini, she was definitely my everything but as much as I loved them both, right now they were pissing me off. "Can you guys stop being so annoying? You're making me feel embarrassed." I snap angrily but with the look on their faces, they weren't stopping any time soon. "So we can't celebrate on your behalf again? Is it not a good thing that finally after almost three years of being single to stupor, you finally have a boyfriend that I Ini-Obong Rebecca Udoh, happily approves of as

Chapter 28: Jealousy and disagreements.

Justice Onuh I paced around my office impatiently, waiting for the report from one of my men that I had sent to keep an eye on everything step Tayo took and report back to me anytime he found any of her movements strange and he should also let me know whenever she and Bayo met up. Ever since Bayo audaciously walked into my office with nothing but pure contempt in his eyes for me all because Tayo had been kidnapped, I had started to slowly suspect that he was seeing her as more that a friend and just the mere thought of them being together, infuriated to no end. He normally avoided meeting me no matter what cause he hated the idea of getting into any kind of confrontation with me and the fact that he had willingly decided to come on his own, showed he might be caring about Tayo a little too much and I didn't like it one bit. My phone rings out and I immediately pick up, hoping that whatever the bastar

Chapter 29: Family meeting.

Omotayo "Tayo, I heard you're getting married. Is that really true? Are you actually getting married before me?" My elder brother Temitayo, teases and I frown."Who told you I'm getting you married?" I asked confusedly, wondering where he heard such a lie. "Well, isn't that why mom called this meeting? She wants us to talk about your wedding arrangements and your future husband, at least that's what I heard." He replies with a light shrug and I deadpan. "So you mean we are gathering here today so mom can pry into my love life again? But why is it always about me? Can't they just talk about you for once since you're the who's above thirty and you're still not married. Speaking on this issue of your marriage bro, are you sure you're actually single or are you just waiting for the perfect timing to surprise attack all of us? Cause I know you very well bro and this smile on your face is not ordina
