Writerâs POV(Princess Juliet)
*
*
In a small messy room , a dark chubby girl on a red gown could be seen staring out of the window.
Her nostrils was flare ,her breathing accelerated, her muscle tensed and from the grimace expression on her face you could tell she was troubled.
She kept her eyes wide open,looking back and forth the busy street not until she sighted a fat man emerging from a T- Junction.
Sharperly , she dashed out of the room , ran blindly across the street and got to the Junction just in time to see the fat man flag down a Keke Maruwa ( Tricycle)
âBiggy!âshe screamed and the man turned his head in her direction.
She steadied herself with her hands on her knee for a moment , panting ; then she ran all the way to him.
The fat man stood there on the spot ,a curious gaze in his burning eyes
âKemisolaâ. he mumbled . âwhat is up with her?â
âBiggy!âthe girl called again as she got nearer. âwhere you dey go?â
âwhy are you asking?â the man snapped at her
âerm .. ermâ. the girl scratched her head as she racked her brain for the right words to say.
Biggy ,the man standing in front of her was known for his closed â mouthed.
âerm .. I .. just wan ⊠know if you bin don ..set .for the job
âSure thing naâ. the man eyes lit up. âI canât wait to F**k the girlâ. he mumbled the latter part but the chubby girl heard him clearly ..
F**k! She heard a loud bang in her headâŠ.Aunty Susanna wan make dey rape the girl , but why??
Impulsively, she grabbed the man left hand and held unto it tightly
âAbeg , no do amâ. She begged so desperately
The man stared confused at her ,what the heck is she saying?
The girl continued. âI know sey na me link you to Aunty Susanna but please, abeg no do amâ
âWhy?âthe man asked , searching through her misted eyes
Do they know each other?he wondered
âThe girl no be bad person , she too nice , she give me money , she even pay for my WAEC feeâ. the girl replied in a rush
So she knows her!!the man thought within
âhmmm! the man sighed. âI know how you feel but there is nothing I can do about it, a deal is a deal and moreover the pay is mouth wateringâ
âNoâ. the girl shook her head vigorously. âforget about the money , money no be everythingâ. she tried to convince the man
The man laughed. âIn this Country, money is everythingâ
And with that, he yanked his hands free and began running after a moving busâŠ.
The girl followed him with her tears-filled eyes ,fear brimming up in her heart.
Wetin make i do? shey make i allow them rape theâŠ. no! no! I no fit , the girl too dey niceâŠ..

The sound of my pulse racing beat in my ear blocking all other sound as I sat there in the car rear seat ,the fair man with knife beside me ..
To say I was scared would be an understatement, I was more than scared
Where are this fools taking me to? I thought within staring at driver, a dark hefty man in the rear mirror
He glanced at me , meeting my gaze for a split-second and then smack his lips
âChai! this girl fine no be smallâ. he said to the fair man
âI swearâ. the fair man agreed . âme self just dey admire am since morningâŠ
The dark man chuckled. âabeg remove your eyes ooo, na boss go knack am firstâ
Knack, as if f**k? My heart skipped a bit . Do they want to rape me??
Panic stricken , I faced the fair man
âPlease donât rape meâ. I begged with a tears-filled eyes . âI beg you in the name of God , please donât â
He smiled lightly, his hand caressing my cheeks
âDonât!pretty girls donât cryâ
âOkayâ. I nodded my head vigorously. âbut please donât hurt meâ
âGood girl!â he remarked and licked his lips ,his gaze roaming all over my body
Is this one even listening to me?
âYou a virgin?â he asked
I gasped audibly in shock as I was taken aback by the sudden question
He smirked. âYou not a virgin right?â
he leaned forward and pinched my left n—-e through my satin blouse and that was it ,my head exploded and I threw him a thunderous slap.
âWhat!âhe held his cheek,glaring at me. âdo you have a death wish?â
I eyed him coldly , seething with anger
âdo that one more time and I swear you will regret it?â
To tell the truth , I donât know where the courage came from but I was ready to tear his eyes out if he dares tries it again
What nonsense! does he think of me as a w—e!
A slow smile worked its ways across his face and into his eyes
âYou are fierce hun, mehn!I really canât wait to tear that c–t of yoursâ. he said sardonically and then faced the dark man
âdrive faster pleaseâ
âAlright!â the dark man plainly said ,stepping on the brake as he began overtaking cars
The anger in me turned to fear in an instant
Oh God! Please help me.
*
The car skidded to a halt and I looked out of the window, staring in fear at the uncompleted building
Do humans live here?
âCome out!â The fair man barked and yanked my hair so hard , dragging me out of the car
âLeave me aloneâ. I screamed so loudly. âplease leave me aloneâ
He chuckled. âoh! so you can beg?â
I tucked my phone into my jergens pocket and tried to struggle out of his hold but he held my hair more tightly and began walking to the house, pulling me along like an animal âŠ
âYay! it is paining me oooooâ. I cried loudly,tears streaming down my face but he didnât budge , he laughed loudly and increased his walking step ,making my leg wobble side to side âŠ.
he was clearly doing it on purpose!
He stopped abruptly in front of a door , grabbed the handle , pulled it wide open and only then did he let go of my hair ..
I caught my breathe in fear , holding it as my eyes roamed around the haunted looking house
âWhere⊠is .. this .. placeâ. I managed to ask,my breathing coming out slowly and gently
âThe lionâs denâ. he replied with a smirked and started feeling through my jergens pocket
I stared down at him nervously. âwhat are you looking for?â
âThisâ. he grinned as he took my phone out of my pocket and his eyes popped wide open in an instant
âI phone 12! you making use of iPhone 12?âŠ. omo! you be rich babeâ
âI am not ricâŠ..I stopped mid-sentence when an idea popped in my head
Use wealth to deceive him!
âYes I am richâ. I quickly changed my words . âmy boyfriend is also very rich, let me out of here and I promise to give you whatever you wantâ.
There was a pause and then he asked
âCan you give me a million naira?â
âYesâ. I nodded my head vigorously, my heart beating erratically
Oh God! Please let him agree. I prayed silently
He sighed deeply. âAnd how am I sure youâŠ..his voice trailed off , his gaze fixed right behind me
quickly, I turned around and saw the dark man, leaning against the wall
âWetin una dey discuss?â the dark asked , shooting an accusing gaze at the fair man
âNothing!â the fair man replied and with that, he push me roughly into the room
I hit the wall and fell to the floor,landing hard on my back side
âI am sorry girl but I canât betray my boss , he is like a brother to meâ.he whispered and slammed the door shut..
âNo ooooooâ. I shrieked ,sprang up on my feet and flew to the door
turning the door knob , I tried opening the door and noticed it was locked
âOpen this door pleaseâ. I screamed so loudly but the only response I heard was the echo of my own voice.
I slid down to the sandy floor,bringing my knees to my chest and let my eyes wander around the small room
It was so dusty , full of cobwebs and there was nothing inside it except a small mattressâŠ
I broke down and sobbed silently
âDemi! where are you?â I let out a muffled cry . âI am so scared!!â

Shakirat
*
*
âShakirat! Shakirat! Shakirat! My elder sister, Balikis called my name thrice
âYes !â I responded with a frown
âhmmmm! how many times did I call you?â She asked ,holding that elephant ear of hers
âThreeâ
âGood!â. She remarked and began shaking the elephant ear. âdonât leave this room while i am away oooooo
I deepened my frown. âbut you have told me before naâ
âI knowâ. She agreed . âI am only repeating it because you are a goat
âMe I am not a goat oooâ. I grumbled ,beneath my breathe
She continued. âIf you think you are smart then go and see that stupid boy and I will show you I am smarterâ
âHan! Han! Is it a crime to have boyfriend?âI queried . âdonât you have boyfriend ni?â
She smirked . âI am not a nineteen year old like youâ
Oh yeah! a brilliant response to my question!
âand even if you want to have a boyfriend, date someone who would take care of you not the one that will be leeching off youâ. she jeered
âLike your boyfriend abiâ. I fired at her
She scoffed , looking daggers at me
Wallahi ! If eyes can kill ehen, I for die on the spot!
I donât blame you na, shebi I am the one opening teeth with youâ. her voice was shaking with anger
Wo! Aunty go and sit down!
â if I ever see that Usman here again, I will skin him aliveâ. she threatened and stormed out of the room, slamming the door shut
I kept my ears opened , listening closely to the sound of her heavy footsteps and when I was sure she was gone , I reached for my phone and scrolled through it for my boyfriend, Usman numberâŠ
Not even my sister badmouth can separate us!
I found the number, clicked on it and was about dialling it when I head a loud bang on the door , not even a knock
Na wa ooo! who is the goat sef?
âUhm..uhmâŠuhm.. I cleared my throat. âdo you want to break the door?â
âAunty Shakiratâ. a female voice called. âPlease open the door fast fastâ.
I became alarmed. what is wrong? Is the house on fire?
hastily , i got off the bed and made for the door
Opening it , I stopped short
Kemisola , Susannaâs errand girl was standing right in front of my door , hot tears rolling down her eyes
âKemisola! what is wrong?â I asked , my eyes darting back and both the empty passage
I wanted to be sure there no one was pursuing her!!
She snufffled.âNa your friend , that your fine friendâ
Her words were incoherent and the only word that rang in my head was âfine friendâ
Fine friend! the only friend I have isâŠâŠâŠ.
âJuliet! Is it Juliet?â
She shrugged lightly.âerm..i thinkâŠ:
âWhat happened to her?â I cut in , I was already getting agitated
âNaâŠAunty Susanna⊠she.. pay .. guys ⊠to .. rape ⊠herâ. She struggled her words in between tears
Aunty Susanna! guys! rape! I heard a loud bang in my head
âWhere is she now?â I screamed so loudly. âwhere is my friend?â
She swallowed hard . âI no know where she âŠ.I shoved her aside before she could complete her words and ran through the long passage, scurried down the wooden stairs to the big compound and only then did I realise I was barefooted ..
but do I care?no, my best friend is in danger and needs helps
I kept on running and got outside just in time to see a bike pass by and I flagged it down
Immediately, the bike man pulled out of the road and stopped in front of me
âIjesha road, take me to Ijesha road pleaseâ. I pleaded , breathing heavily
The bike man knitted his eyebrow. âwhich side for Ijesha road?â
âbrown apartmentâ.
âOh! that place where rich boys dey stayâ.he seized me up and down . âOkay now! make we dey go , your money na #200âł
200â. I muttered and searched my pockets but found nothing, not even a dimeâŠ.
I swallowed hard . âbrother please help me ,I have no moneyâ
âEhen So wetin you wan make I doâ. he scoffed . âAbeg clear roadâ
He started the bike, making to move but I jumped blindly in front of him
âPlease help me pleaseâ
âArrrrghâ. he hissed loudly. âto die don dey hungry you abiâ
âPlease help me , my friend needs helpâ. I strained to muffle my cry
For a moment , the bike man was quiet and then he sighed
âFine!Enter make we dey goâ
âAh! thank you so much sir , May Allah reward youâ
âAmenâ. he responded,smiling lightly
sharperly , I climbed on the bike and the man kicked the engine and drove off speedingâŠ
*
Finally! we got to the brown building and the bike man drove through the opened gate into the compound, stopping in front of Ademiladeâs apartment
âThanks so much sirâ. I appreciated and climbed down the bike
âThat one na nothingâ. he brushed it aside .
I nodded absentmindedly,climbing up to the balconyâŠ
The door was locked from outside, bolted shut
Arrgh! Demi is not around ! I screamed inwardly.
I bit my lower lips in confusion, how I wish I had his number!âŠ:: but wait sef!i didnât even try Julietâs number!
Thankfully! I came along with my phone!
with shaky hands , I scrolled through my phone for her number and when I saw it , I clicked on it and dialled itâŠ..
âThe number wasnât going through!â
Oh God! what will I do now? how will âŠ..
âAre you looking for someone?â a voice asked interrupting my thoughts
quickly, I turned in the direction and saw a busty girl spreading clothes on the cloth line close to Ademilade bedroom window
I rushed to her
âYes ma, I am looking âŠ:::
âIt is Chiomaâ. she cut in , frowning
âOkay! Chioma , I am asking for Demiâ. I quickly corrected myself
âhmmmm!â She seized me up and down . âthis one you are looking for him bare footed , I hope there is no problemâ
âMy friend , his girlfriend needs helpâ
Her eyes popped wide open. âIs it obianuju?
âYes! Yes! I nodded vigorously. âone idiot paid some men to rape herâ
âAru (abomination)â. She screamed, holding her chest as she stared at me dazedly
Nawa! which one is Aru again?
âDo you have Demiâs number? I asked hoping she would say yes and to my upmost relief ,she did
âWait here , let me go and get my phoneâ. she said and began running to an opposite direction
I followed her with my eyes till she took a sharp bend and then I fell to the floor , crying
Juliet! Please be safe!!

Loud music blared from all over the hotel and i absentmindedly tapped my right foot to itâs rhythm , my whole attention was fixed on Dave as I was eagerly waiting to hear his âJudgementâ
âUhm! uhm!â.he cleared his throat. âI have listened and heard both sides of the story and now it is my turn to ask questionsâŠ.
âKewe!â He faced Kewe who was seated on my left . âDid you have a fight with your girlfriend?â
âYes!â Kewe nodded . âbut it was just a minor oneâ
â0h oh! can you see I am not lyingâ. Prince butted in
âShut up!â Dave barked at him . âyou should be ashamed of yourself for sleeping with a brother girlfriendâ
âbut It is not my fault naâ . prince defended himself. âthe girl came to meet me for solace and I gave her oneâ
âYou Bastard!â Kewe barked and sprang up to his feet , about to charge at Prince but I grabbed his arm and pulled him back to the chair
âDonât! Sarah isnât worth fighting forâ
âYesâ.Tobi was who seated on my right agreed. âShe is nothing but a cheap w—e
Kewe scoffed . âI donât care about that b**ch, all I want is to wipe off the smile from this bastard faceâ. his icy gaze was fixed on Prince who was grinning from ear to ear
âTry it if you âŠ..Prince tried to say but Dave cut him off
âYou are truly a bastard princeâ
Like seriously! so he can scold at his best friend!
Dave continued. â I wanted to be lenient with you but seeing how stupid you are right now , I changed my mind
âBetter!â Bola who was seated beside Kewe remarked
Prince gasped audibly in shock. âbut Dave , the insult is too much na
âthe insult is too much naâ. Tony micmic. âyou should be castratedâ
âI tell youâ . Kunlexy agreed, a cloud of smoke swirling from his ears and mouth
I smiled inwardly, a good thing nobody supported the old fool!
Dave chuckled. âI can see you all are against him, Hun! he shifted his gaze to me
âDemi! I leave the judgment to youâ
Meâ. I widened my eyes in surprise
âYes!âhe nodded . âYou are the newest member of the gang so I would love to hear your thoughts
Heaving a sigh , I faced Prince who was now glaring at me
really! so the idiot is still forming stubbornâŠokay now!
âFine!â. I agreed, my intent gaze on prince. âI would have said kewe should also f**k his girlfriend , you know like a half and half thingâ
âTaaarh!âkewe pinched me
I laughed inwardly and continued
âbut the girl is way too local for Keweâ
âno! no! no! Tobi butted in . âspell the words out , she is a lowlife
Instantly, everyone but Prince laughed
He just sat there on the chair, his head bent slightly
That serves him right!
âContinueâ. Dave urged me, a light smile on his face
âhmmmh! I really think he shouldâŠ. I stopped mid- sentence when my phone rang and I reached for it and noticed it was an unsaved number
âA minute pleaseâ. I pleaded as I received it
âAdemilade!âa female voice rang through
âWho is this please?â I asked politely
âIt is me Shakiratâ.her breathe came in snuffles
Shakirat! My babyâs friend!
âOkay!â I said , urging her to continue
âIt is Juliet, she is in dangerâ
I heard something in my head make a noise , and felt something pop
âWhere the f**k is she?â I screamed and stood up in a huff
âerm some guys want to rape herâ
Rape! what the heck is she saying!
âSusanna paid some guys to rape herâŠ.. I hung up on her
âGuy! what is wrong?â I heard voices asked but it sounded so distant..
Susanna! paid! guys! I was so confused!
with trembling hands, I dialled Obianuju number but it wasnât connecting
âWhat the f**k!â I yelled
âHey!hey!calm downâ. Dave stood up , touching me lightly as he tried to calm me down
âWhat is wrong?â
I bit at my lower lips, ruffling my hair
âObianuju!â was the only thing I could say as I was so disoriented!!!
Do I even know what I was doing? I donât think so !
âWhat happened to her?â Dave asked calmly
âSusanna! She is trying to destroy her lifeâ.i couldnât bring myself to say the word ârapeâ
He folded his fist in anger. âwho is Susanna?â
âhis ex -girlfriendâ. Tobi replied coldly
Just then , my brain clicked and whirred
âCall herâ. My subconsciousness screamed and I nodded at it
Hastily , I scrolled through my phone for her number
âwhat did you want to do?â Dave asked , looking into my phone
âCall the b**châ
Dialling her number , she picked on the second ring
âHello baby!âher loud voice rang through
âWhere are you?â I asked coldly
âMap hotelâ. She replied and only then did I notice the music being played in the background
Dang it! we were in the same place!
She continued. âWhy did you ask? do you want to see me?â
âNoâ. I plainly answered and ended the phone call
âWhere did the b**ch say she is?â Dave asked
âInsideâ. I replied and ran through a long passage into the building
âDemi!Demi!Demi! I heard voices call but I ignored allâŠ
This should better not to be true!
Standing at the entrance, my gaze wandered around for Susanna and I saw her seated at the bar section, right beside a dark lady âŠ..Obianujuâs roomie
Like seriously!!
Boiling in rage , I marched towards them and swivel Susannaâs chair around to face me.
She seemed to be startled for a moment and then she composed herself, smiling
âwhen did you get here?â
âYou b**ch! where is my girlfriend?â I asked with a threatening growl and swears, I saw the fear in her eyes
So she did it!
âDemi! What the hell areâŠ:
âWhy did you do it?â I cut in . âhun!what did the little girl do to you?
She swallowed hard . âI donât know what you are talking aboutâ
âYou liarâ.I scoffed and was about to tongue lash her when a voice from behind me said
âI will question her myselfâ
I turned around to see Dave , the rest of the gang behind him
âStep back, i will question her myselfâ. he repeated ,looking daggers at Susanna
âWhere is the girl?â
âerm I donâtâ. she glanced at the dark girl. âI erm donât know where she isâ
âReally! Dave scoffed and the next thing that followed was a thunderous slap across her faceâŠ
The club became quiet in an instant .
âYay! Chimo! her lips quavered and she began to cry
âI said where is the girl?âDave barked
âask herâ. Susanna pointed to the dark girl. âshe is the one who planned everythingâ
âMe!â the dark girl touched her chest , fear clearly written on her face
âI donât know anything ooooâ
âYou liarâ. Susanna barked, are you not the one who suggested we should harm the girlâ
I stood there , frozen, my eyes widened in surprise
Is this really happening?
âWhere is the girl?â Dave asked for the third time
âerm she is erm with Biggyâ. Susanna stuttered
Biggy! who is that?â
âandâŠhe said ..yes! he made mentioned of a lions denâ. she quickly added , shaking in fright
âLions Den!âI faced Dave . âdo you know where that is?
he nodded slowly . âan abandoned building behind Itamerin Junctionâ
âOkay! I simply said and began walking towards the entrance
âWhere you going?â Dave asked
I stopped in my steps , facing him
âIsnât it obviousâ
âI will come with youâ. he said and then faced prince
âSee that this trash are been taken care ofâ
with that , he moved closer to me, held my shoulder and we both walked out of the buildingâŠ.
âI am sure you regret dating the girlâ. Dave said , referring to Susanna
âSure I doâ. I folded my fist in anger . âand I am gonna make sure they get rusticated from this school â
âJust like you got me suspended rightâ. he teased and laughed
I looked away and into an unseen distance, I was in no mood for jokes
Opening the car door , I was about sliding into the driver seat when Dave stopped me with his voice
âI will drive!â
I shot him a confused look. âYou want to drive my car?â
âHum! Hum!â. he nodded
âbut why?âI queried . âyou got your own car right?â
âYep!â he replied popping the p. âbut you donât expect us going in two different cars or do you?â he asked and i shook my head absentmindedly
I just wanted my girlfriend to be fine and untouched!
With a curt nod , I walked around , climbed into the passenger seat and Dave started the car and drove speeding offâŠ

Alone in the small, creepy room, I sat there on the small bed, my knees to my chest as I sobbed
I was really scared
what will happen to me now? will this be the end of me? why is no one even coming?
The door suddenly creaked opened and a very fat man walked in , the dark man and fair man behind him
I shifted uncomfortably on the bed , who is this one again?
âHello pretty oneâ.the fat man greeted, smiling as he moved closer to me. âMy name is Biggyâ
âBiggy!â I swallowed hard nervously, âwhat do you wantâ
âYouâ. he smacked his lips , squatting in front of me
âwe will take you one by one and I am going to be the firstâ
Suddenly, a panic rises through me and I held unto his fat hands tightly
âPlease donâtâ. I begged , âplease donât rape meâ
He yanked his hands away and laughed
âI am sorry pretty but a deal is a dealâ
A deal! what is he talking about? did someone set him to this?
âTollyâ. he called, facing the fair man
âYes bossâ the fair man answered
Boss! so this fat man is the boss!
The fat man smirked . âStrip her nakedâ
What! My eyes popped out of my head. Is he for real?
Dazedly , I stared at the fair man as he move closer to me
âI am sorryâ. he mumbled his apology and with that, he ripped off my blouse
âNo ooooooo! I screamed so loudly, holding my torn clothes tightly. âPlease donât , i am in my periodâ. I blurted out
There was an awkward silence and the men exchanged confused looks
âWhat should we do?â the fair man asked , breaking the silence
âcontinue with what you doingâ. The fat man huffed
Wait! Wait! Wait!do they still want to rape me? ⊠oh God! what will I do?
âHands up!â the fair man told me
I shook my head vigorously. âno!no! Please donâtâ
âStrip her naked nowâ. the fat man barked and that was it , I found myself laid sprawled up on the bed ,the fair man on top of me as he tore off the clothes completely
âPleeeeeeeeeaseâ. I begged and began to cry
He pinned me down to the bed and was about unclasping my bra when we heard gunshots
My whole body vibrated in fear and the fair man left me in an instant
âWhat is happening?â he half yelled
âI donât knowâ. the fat man replied as he paced up and down the room restlessly . âI think we are in some kind of dangerâ
I sat up in the bed and covered my exposed bra with my hands ,my body vibrating with fear
What is going on? I wondered

The drive was a quick one as Dave broke the speed limit wasting no time to get to the Junction , Itamerin Junction; then he made a u-turn, driving down a bumpy road until he got to an old-looking building , parking out in front .
âThis is the Lion denâ. he said and pulled a hand gun out of his pocket
âIs there a need for this?âI asked , staring down at the gun
âSure!he nodded. âIt is for protectionâ
He alighted from the car and I did the same at my own end
âfollow behind meâ. He instructed .
to my upmost surprise, he raised the gun and fired in the air
âDave!â I shrieked in terror and he chuckled lightly, running into the house
Is he alright ?
heaving a sigh, I followed behind him into the dusty house . The only door that was in the house was slightly ajar so we both rushed towards it
Entering, I stopped dead
Obianuju was seated right on the bed , shirtless . worst still, she wasnât alone. some three muscular men were pacing up and down the room restlessly and from the look on their faces , you could tell they were agitated
I gasped audibly in surprise. Are this the guys meant to rape my girlfriend?â
âAdemilade.âobianuju called, she tried to stand up but fell back to the bed âŠ.
Immediately, I rushed to her and held her to me tightly
âYou alright? I asked
She shook her head vehemently,tears pouring down her cheek
âNo Demi, I am notâ
âWhy?i searched through her gaze . âdid they hurt you? did they touch touch you?â
âNoâ
My gaze dropped to her bra and my eyes flushed with anger
âwhat exactly did they do to youâ
âNothingâ. she wiped her tears. âthey could have succeeded but then youâŠshe stopped mid- sentence , her gaze fixed right behind me
âDave!âshe muttered
I turned around just in time to see Dave c–k his gun, aiming it at the fat man temple
âDave!â I called in shock, âwhat are you doing?
He smirked. âIsnât it obvious, I want to rip their brains outâ
âno! no! I shook my head. âyou canât âŠâŠ. he fired the gun and the fat man came falling like a log of wood , his blood splattering the roomâŠ.
Obianuju let out a loud cry and buried her face in my chest as she panicked
As for me, I was too gobsmacked to say a word
Dave killed a man, he killed a man in front of a girl and I saw no remorse on his face
âGet the girl out of hereâ. he half- yelled , his gun aimed at a fair man
Sharperly, I pulled off my shirts and handed it
Obianuju
âWear it!â I instructed her and when she did , I picked her up in a bridal style and faced Dave
âDonât waste any more life pleaseâ I pleaded . âreport them to the police
âThis should be yours?â he simply said , ignoring my words as he waved a phone in front of Obianuju
âYes!âobianuju snatched the phone from his hand and then pinched me , nudging me to move
heaving a deep sigh, I rushed out of the room and that was when the gunshot sounded
âhe killed himâ. Obianuju whimpered in my arm. âDave killed himâ
âI knowâ
Getting outside, I found Kewe and Tobi leaning against Tobiâs carâŠ.
I widened my eyes in surprise, I never knew they followed behind us!!
âIs she alright?â they asked almost in unison
I nodded
Tobi continued. âAnd Dave?â
âhe is inside killing the guysâ
âWhat!âThey both gasped audibly in shock
âYes!â I nodded , that guy Is overly crazy!!!
I put Obianuju down on the floor and opened the car door
âGet inâ. I instructed her and when she did, i bang the door shut , walked around the car, slid into the driverâs seat , started the car and drove down the Bumpy road as I headed for homeâŠâŠ
For all I care , Tobi and Kewe can wait for Dave, but as for me , I am out of here..

Obianuju

I hadnât noticed the goosebumps creeping in until now . I could no longer control my hands , they were shaking in an old trembling rhythmâŠ.
I saw a dead body , it was right in front of me,Dave killed the fat man, he is a murdererâŠ
âBabe!â Demi called softly, interrupting my thoughts
I slowly shifted my gaze to him, meeting his for a split- second
âYou sure you alright?
I scoffed silently, how many times will he ask me this!!
Do I look alright to him???
âYes!â I replied and turned away from him , staring out of the window
Yes! did I just say yes? No way , I am far from alright!!!
*
By the time we arrived at his place , it was a little bit dark.
He drove through the huge gate into the compound, parking in front of his apartment; then he got down quickly, walked around the car and picked me up in his arms
I was forced to laugh. âwhy are you acting this way?â
âAnd how am I acting?â
I shrugged my shoulders lightly. âhmmmmm!âŠ.like my bodyguardâ
âAha!aha! he laughed dryly. âIs that what you see me as?â
I smiled faintly, wrapping my hands around him as he climbed up the short step to the balcony
âI didnât say so!â
âOh right!â he drawled
Kicking the door opened, he walked into the sitting room
I looked around observing, it was neat just like the way I left it âŠ..
âYou hungry?â he asked and began walking towards the room
I nodded
âAlright! I will get you something to eat â
Entering the room, he placed me gently on the bed
âI am comingâ. he simply said and walked out of the room
I smiled to myself knowing he was doing all this to make me happy!
I leaned my back against the wall and switched on my phone
Immediately, my mum call came in
A light smile escaped from my lips and I received it
âGood evening ma !â I greeted
There was no response, all I heard was muffled cries
âMummy!â
âThis is not mummy, it is ChiChiâ
Oh! Chichi, how are you? what of mummy? I asked in a rush
There was a pause
âChiChi! are you there?â I screamed in the phone
I was already getting hysterical
âYes!â
âMummy nko?â
She snuffled. âMum ⊠is âŠâŠâ. I dropped the phone before she could complete the statementâŠâŠ
