November 10, 2014(Somewhere in the uphill of Lagos)The birds chirped, all humming a song in harmony while the trees swayed and swish, dancing to the sweet song of the birds. All of nature, in one harmony as the students of Girls Government School, Obalende, Lagos move around. Some just arriving, while some were walking to their classes, and some just hanging around.Two girls stood under the tree as they watched the students swarmed in noisily. Catching a glimpse of their teachers' flexible whips made of horse tail made both girls to laugh amidst themselves.Those horse whips were definite to cause red burning stripes on the skin. Yet, their show of authority had never conversed strictness to the seniors who were long accustomed to the same old boring drill. However, they still managed to intimidat

On arrival in her aunt's home, Derin was introduced to the family. Her aunt had three children; two females, and a male. The females were both older than her, and the male, Dolapo, was the same age with her.Upon meeting the family, Derin could tell that she wasn't really wanted, and Bunmi was only obligated to take care of her according to the family's traditions and customs. Her daughters and her husband did not try to hide the fact that they also despised her arrival, but Dolapo was very much glad to have her around.What puzzled her was the fact that her aunt dedicated all the household chores to her, despite having two well developed and capable daughters who were both able of doing the menial works.Apart from chores, Derin had to accompany her aunt to her boutique every day to work as a sales representative. However, Derin had no choice; she could neither argue nor

After this, Derin learned that her husband to be, Daniel L.C. Hartley, had arrived from the United States, and she'll be opportune to meet him. She was informed by her aunt that Daniel had to give his consent to the marriage as his decision counted. It turned out that they did not want to force their son into an arranged marriage, but no one cared about her own feelings, and her own decision. Her guess was that Daniel had no idea that his parents were arranging him a bride, but personally, she wished he'll not agree to the marriage.However, he should not even accept such an idea. This was the twenty-first century for crying out loud. Why would he agree to marry a stranger enforced on him by his parents? Such alliances were only common in the twentieth century, and not in these times

Derin walked further into the house; into the tastefully illuminated and furnished kitchen she fell in love with on first sighting before going to explore the rest of the house. She found that the house had six rooms, apart from the main room, kitchen and dining area. Two in use, one an exercise room filled to the brim with various exercising machinery and equipment, and the other looked like it belonged to Daniel, as you could tell from the scattered and messy view that the room displayed. She chose one of the neatly arraigned rooms and unloaded before, undressing out of her wedding garment and unto something more comfortable; a white singlet over a blue bump short, before proceeding to the kitchen to prepare something to munch on. After a superb meal of chi

Awakening on the bed, Daniel glanced. He had no idea how he managed to get to his room, and remove his shoes?Definitely, he knew he wasn't capable of taking off his shoes properly, even when he was sober, more or less in his tipsy state.The last he could recall was gulping down his seventeenth jug of beer at Jonas weekend party. Of course, Jonas would not fail to make him loose a bet and have to jug down tens of beer.He had lost a bet on a football match, and his payment was to jug down fifteen pegs, but he had gone all the way to seventeen."Damn it, I was drunk again."Daniel said to himself, as he rose from the bed with a compelling push to pee. On standing, he felt an intense, acute pain crack through his forehead. He placed his palms on his head and stepped into the adjacent toilet - to relieve himself.When he go

The following day, Derin awoke to the beautiful sunlight rays that entered her room and reflected unto her face, waking her and, letting her know that the day had broken. She sat up on her bed and was about standing, when her wandering eyes landed on a blue jacket note pad, with the words "Diary in poetry". She smiled as she picked it up, her eyes lingering over the notepad but her fingers, hesitant to flip it open."It's been ages since I last left a note in this." She thought out loud as she flipped open the book, landing on the last page with her handwriting, written boldly on it. 'Dreams and illusions' were the words written as the title. She remembered the last time she placed down her pen and wrote something, and this was three years ago. "Hopef

Her agonized yell resounded throughout the whole house, and Daniel covered his ears with his palms as they throbbed to hear her aloud curses.He despised hearing a woman curse, and he also had been an advocate against the abuse of women, but he had just followed in the steps of the men he had once hated. He had hit her, and he deserved every single curse word she uttered against him.It was wrong to hit a woman, no matter what might have fueled his anger; he had no right to hit her. He had been enraged upon seeing her with that man, and his anger had blinded him from seeing where his actions were leading him to.Derin is his wife, and she ought to not be as loose as she was with that man. After all, his parents had vowed that she was of the best home training, and she was not a loose woman. So, yes, it came as a surprise to him when he saw her out there in the mall with h

○○At about 3am, Club Elite◎◎The guys were oozed out from excessively drinking and partying the night away. They were all whooshed out, and they looked exhausted at their table. The background music played quietly, and the disco still hopped with several colors.The day to the VIP arena came open, and a young lady walked in. Her eyes danced around the room, and paused on sighting the guys.A small smile tugged on her red lips, and she strutted to them. She was tall with exceptionally long and straight legs. Her ebony skin flowed down her curvy seductive shape in a perfect glamour.Taking a glance at her, one could tell that she had a stunning figure – a figure for a supermodel. To crown her perfect shape, she wore a pencil black fitted gown which stopped mid-thigh. Along with this outfit, she wore a set o

He paced thro and fro, as various thoughts ran wild in his head. The mall had the very best of security, and there was no way any of the footages from the cameras could get stolen.Even if one of his customers had been the one who had videotaped the fight, they would have not been able to get away without any of the staffs and security knowing.The phone bleeped again, and Daniel shot his eyes to the screen – it was a call from his personal assistant, and he picked up instantly.“Tell me,” He said.From the other end, came a slightly rushed voice of his P.A, which always had a faint Spanish accent.“Daniel, the story is hot on the headlines.”Daniel sighed. This was the last thing he needed – becoming the topic of gossip in the public. His image was already at the verge of collapsing wi

Henry stopped at the entrance to the gents, and called out to Daniel, “Daniel?”Inside, Daniel had his nose buried into a piece of paper. Hearing Henry’s voice made him to look up from what he was snuffing as he faced the door.“C’mon kid, open the door,” Henry begged.Reluctantly, Daniel staggered to the door – the effect of the drug already evident on him – and pulled the door open.Henry’s eyes widened on seeing the state Daniel was in, and his jaw fell on noticing the rolled out paper on the wash sink.“What are you doing kid?”Daniel ignored him, and returned to the snuff – he took a deep inhale, and closed his eyes as he felt the substance rush into his brains, causing him to float in mid-air.A hand came on his arm, and he shot his eyes to
