Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 22
STEVE’S POV :
I felt my whole world put on a hold — How could Michelle do this — Allowing envy to rule over her heart — no this is unforgivable, My parents died because of some stupid envy and competition they knew nothing of — they were innocent, why has God decided to let the evil intentions of the wicked ones prevail ? I felt like crying but no tears came out — my whole body was lifeless but how I could still stand on my feet was a mystery.. Michelle — I’ll get back at you, you can’t get away with this one …
MICHELLE’S POV :
I was speechless, hurt, confused and shattered — I felt my heart trying to pull out from my ribs, i was finding it difficult to breathe, How did Stanley get a hold of that ? When did I even make such a statement — I’ve been such a fool — beaten at my own game; Stanley and Mr. |barley had betrayed me – not only did they kill the family of the man I love, they also made look like an enemy before him — pulling every suspicion from them — how do I begin to explain considering the fact that Mr. Barley walks for me — Stanley really did his math and I was blinded by my love for him — He used my feelings for him against me…
STEVE : Michelle, my parents were innocent — they were not a part of this competition ?
MICHELLE : No, Steve — I dint kill your parents, I can’t do that — believe me
NIFE : Oh just shut up, you lying b—h — you still have the guts to lie, huh ?
MICHELLE : (yells at Nife ) Oh just shut up ! I’m not a b—h and I can’t remember you being Steve’s guardian as well as his —
STEVE : (Interrupts her) Michelle, does Mr. barley work for you ?
MICHELLE : (bites her lips) yes, he does — he’s part of my security team in my company but I —
STEVE : (nods his head ) its okay, Michelle — thank you for saying the truth
MICHELLE : (walks to him) Steve, believe me — I dint kill your parents — I can’t do that … not me
STEVE : ( shouts ) then who did ? (cries) who did, Michelle ? who?! (pushes her away) I’m sorry stay away from me, Michelle — the next time I set my eyes on you we are enemies .. (the security men leads him away )
MR. POPOV : Wahala ! Wahala !! WHAT A BOMBSHELL ?! (walks out )
PRINCIPAL : I can’t believe this .. (walks away )
NIFE : (shakes her head) Michelle, I hate you ..( walks out )
MICHELLE walks up to STANLEY : you bastard !!! framing me up huh ? you cant win — not in this battle — Michelle Simpson never loses !!!! she never does (points her hand to her chest)
STANLEY : (chuckles) Let’s play then — in the game of chess, they’re no champions — everyone is bettered everyday (laughs) <<<<>>>>
UNCLE JOE : (walks up to where Michelle was lying down on the floor crying ) Michelle — Michelle
MICHELLE 🙁 raises her head to meet him) I dint kill them, Uncle Joe — I dint kill Steve’s parents — You have to believe me
UNCLE JOE : I believe you, Michelle — I really do
MICHELLE : really ? (he nods) thanks I’m glad you do (embraces him) but Steve — he thinks I killed them
UNCLE JOE : shh–hh Michelle, Steve will come around- — i’ll talk to him (drags her to her feet)
MICHELLE : thanks, uncle joe
MISS HILDA : You guys make me jealous, let’s just leave already
they all walk out
After making his announcement, Mr. Popov stepped down from the podium and walked away amidst murmurs and chatters from some students across the hall — Steve forcing his cousin into sex was impossible –
UNCLE JOE : Steve, what are your plans now ?
STEVE : I have none, Uncle Joe — let me get home first and see my uncle
UNCLE JOE : okay — be careful and keep me updated with any developments
STEVE : sure (turns to leave)
UNCLE JOE : ehem — Steve —
STEVE : (turning to meet him) (interrupts his words midway) I know what you want to say — I know Michelle couldn’t have been the one to kill my parents, there’s a lot of hidden facts surrounding my parents death but that doesn’t make her free from the fact that — she was who ordered Mr. |Barley to investigate my parents in the first place ….
UNCLE JOE : yeah, i know
DEAN : what comes up man — I got yo back real time
SAMMY : Same here bro — even it means kicking your uncle’s ass if that is needed
STEVE : (laughs) I’m ever grateful knowing you guys — we’ll remain friends for life and I’ll miss you guys
DEAN : awwn — don’t sound like a babe —
SAMMY : and don’t make me cry
they hugged each other one last time and he left
Steve got home to meet his bags outside — he was surprised and shocked
NIFE : what is going on here ?
SECURITY MAN : na yoga and chsmall mayam wey sey make I drop am por outside
NIFE : what ?! how could Tola and Dad do this ?
Uncle Dan walks outside that minute
NIFE 🙁 walks up to him) Dad, whats going on — why is Steve’s bags outside ??
UNCLE DAN 🙁 points to Steve ) you’re ungrateful after everything you rape my daughter .. you ?!
TOLA : (walks out and meets Steve — pours a hot saliva on his face ) that’s for sleeping with my sis and taking her virginity — now, get away from this house
NIFE : No dad, |Steve dint—
STEVE : (interrupts her) Its okay Nife — no need to explain — Your dad’s mind is made up —
Thank you, Uncle Dan for everything you have done for me these past months I’ve been here- – I’m grateful
Tola, thank you for your care and support all these while — ill never forget the little chats and smiles we shared..
Nife, I most say : you’re a jewel — and ill miss you but wherever the wind of life throws me to I can never forget your love for me — GOODBYE
Steve dragged his bag out of his uncle’s house — unsure of where he was going, he was crying but he needed to be strong — he needed to be his own comforter now and thrive to be better
LATER THAT NIGHT —
Nife explains all that happened to her dad and tola
UNCLE DAN : what ?! so Steve dint sleep with you — why dint you tell me earlier
NIFE : dad– I hate you you couldn’t even let the poor boy explain — why ?!
TOLA was already crying — : I spat on him and threw his stuffs out — Oh God
UNCLE DAN : (looking dejected ) I have a confession to make my children– Steve is not my nephew and he’s not your cousin —
NIFE AND TOLA : what ?!!
UNCLE DAN : yes — me and his dad were childhood friends but we are not blood Brothers
NIFE : Oh Dad .. and you still chased him out ? why ?
UNCLE DAN : I dint know what came over me and Mr. Popov promised me a cheque of #50,000,000.00 if I chased him away and I accepted — moreover he raped you so it was like getting justice and a little compensation —- I never knew Mr. Popov lied to me and Steve dint rape you…
TOLA : dad you’re despicable, you sold your friend’s son out for 50 million — dad, I’m disappointed
NIife ran up to her room
