NNENA THE SLÃVÊ:
{EPISODE 15}
How could Stella do this to me?
I couldn’t believe she actually betrayed me meaning all the things she told me were nothing but lîês.
Right then,I couldn’t think of anything.
One of my daughter was in danger and the other was dying on bed.
I had to save them first before thinking about the båstãrd.
Miraculously,Jane woke up and said she wanted to follow us and bring back her sister.
The next day,we prepared to go.
She suddenly grew healthy.
Sister Eunice collected a letter of permission and after we got ready,we hit the road.
….. Stella’s POV.
I got Tiffany to convince Josh to let me stay in his house.
I knew it sounded silly,but it just had to work.
The next day,he started warming up to me and told me I could stay with him.
I prepared his breakfast happily.
Finally,my plans were working.
Towards afternoon, Tifanny arrived with July.
I could not even recognize the little girl anymore.
She looked like a princess from fairytale land.
I welcomed them as we sat in the living room.
“Wow… she’s looking so adorable’,I said smiling at July who was sitting on Tiffany’s laps.
She was also holding a big pink teddy bear.
Tiffany looked lovingly at her, touching her long braided hair.
“She’s our joy now…my husband loves her so much and she will ever remain our child’,Tiffany said happily.
“So…how is Josh…are you getting closer to him?’, Tiffany said and I smiled shyly.
“Sort of….am trying”,I said.
“Look,I want you to marry my brother okay?
As in…you have been an helper to us’, Tiffany told me, smiling.
I smiled back.
“It’s nothing but am willing to do what you said’,I replied.
Tiffany nodded and looked down at July.
“Miranda,what’s wrong?’,she asked her and touched her temperature.
“Oh my God,again? Why are you always running into temperature?’, Tiffany asked and looked at me.
“I had to take her to our family doctor in the night…she ran into a very hot temperature last night and I was so afraid’, Tiffany said while I find something to say.
“Well…you know she is kind of adapting to her new environment.
Don’t worry,she will get used to you guys and stop the temperature”,I assured her as she nodded.
“I think I have to take her to my mum’s house so she can call our family doctor…we won’t be long.
Our family doctor doesn’t know my house or here and I have to get Miranda examined,so we have to go there.
We won’t stay long’,Tiffany said when she saw the look in my eyes.
“We won’t stay long?”,I asked again.
“Yes,we won’t stay long”.
I dressed up and we went out.
… Nnena’s POV.
When we finally arrived the street after searching for it like never before,it has changed alot.
Everywhere looks so confusing as many things had changed but I still cracked my brain and got the main Street.
I remembered vividly the day I left the street,almost five years ago now.
I was backing Jane as we walked.
As we entered further into the street,I started to get confused.
The house i once lived in seemed to have disappeared among all other houses.
“Can’t you figure it out anymore?”,sister Eunice said,sweating?
I could not answer her.
I stood at a spot, trying to gather my thoughts.
But it was just four years ago?
How come I couldn’t locate the house again.
Another house was standing on the place Josh’s house was supposed to be.
Sister Eunice took Jane from me and carried her.
Then a way to locate it came into my mind.
Back then,when we were still schooling,Josh and I had a particular route we followed everyday.
I looked at sister Eunice.
“Let’s go back to the first entry where my school is located…I know how to locate it now.
We went back back and I saw my school.
We took the left turn and walked through a narrow place and came out of the opening.
We took another turn again through a narrow part and came out of the same street then I looked to my right at the far end and smiled as I saw the house.
It had been repainted, that was why I couldn’t recognize it quickly.
“That’s the house, sister Eunice.
Yes,am very sure of it”,I said.
Just then,a car drove out from the corner and as the gates were being opened,it rolled into the compound and we started moving fast,towards the house.
It was time to get the b@stãrd busted….

THE CONTRACT AND AGREEMENT:
{EPISODE 16}
ANDERSON
I heard some strange things about Lakshmi from my friends.
I’m really confused.
Some things about Tasks!
I called on a fellow lawyer in my law firm before examining my thoughts.
She knocked on the door..
“Please come in”
I said in deep thoughts
She took a seat in my front
“You called for me?”
She said facing me
“I need your help Beth”
I said to her as I gave her Lakshmi’s picture as I silently prayed against what I was thinking
“Do you know her?”
I asked
She stared at the picture before giving me an answer
“Isn’t this Lakshmi Jones?”
She asked as I looked at her
“You know her?”
I asked in anticipation
“Of course, the famous Indian lawyer who’s known for her brilliancy in solving cases”
She said as she stared at the picture again
“I see!”
I said to her
“Wait… There’s a secret I know about her”
She said as my heart skipped a bëåt
“What’s it?”
“She’s famous for her Tasks job”
My heart beat raced up when she said that
“What’s Task?”
I said
“Male judges have s*x with her before she wins a case, that’s why she’s always wining every case!”
Beth said smiling
My heart bêåts seized as if I’m in a state of cøma.
“Any man that marries Lakshmi is unlucky. She’s just beautiful and intelligent but she doesn’t use her brains”
She further explained
This is a surprise outbreak to my hearing
“So Lakshmi…?”
“She must have her reasons but I dislike her for that”
She said cutting me off
“I need to go”
She stood up
“Ha! Thanks Beth”
I said as I couldn’t find my voice
She walked out of my office
Is that why she allowed me to have s*x with her?
She never loved me?
Was she only interested in wining her case?
Is that why she didn’t let me know if her true self?
Is that the reason why she said our relationship can’t work out?
Why didn’t she let me know of all this?
Different thoughts flowed through my head as I was confused
We’ve been dating for over six months and she never told me
I must talk to her!!!
LAKSHMI
Today was very stressful.
Ever since I met Anderson again, I’ve stopped wining cases based on s*x!
I use my brain intelligently and brilliantly to win them. He changed my life.
I walked into Anderson’s house without knocking. I’m so tired
I’m spending the night here
I saw him as he sat on one of the coloured arm chairs.
I walked past him as I dumped myself on the double chair
“I’m just so tired, today was a long day”
I said as I dropped my bag beside me
Anderson never looked at me neither did he gave a response to what I said
Strange!
He would have hugged me and throw me bunch of kïssës
“Today was boring. It was…”
I said trying to catch his attention
“Because you didn’t find a judge to fvçk you right?”
He said throwing me in utmost bewilderment and cutting my statement off
“What?!”
“Isn’t that why you came back to me? Isn’t that why you gave me your body even after 8 years?”
He said harshly
“Huh?”
I stayed in shock
“To win your case? That’s why you never disagreed when I asked for s*x!!”
He said stiffly
“Anderson?”
I called him as my heart skipped a bëåt
“Did you ever love me or you came back just because of your so called Tasks??”
He screamed out
“Hear me out”
I said trying to hold him
He moved away from me
“Don’t hold me Lakshmi!!”
He walked backwards
My heart hûrts so much
It hûrts seeing Anderson this way
“It’s fine, I’ll leave”
I walked slowly past him
“That’s what you’re good at! Leaving without a reason!!”
He said shouting
“Should I explain the reason then!”
I said turning to face him
He barely looked at me in my face
“Why I left 8 years ago? Why I became a prōstitûtê?”
I screamed out as tears fell free from my eyes
“I never called you that Lakshmi!”
He said facing me
“I’ll explain all to you”
He faced me
“After you told me of your certification, you were weary. I couldn’t afford to see you like that”
I said as he folded his arms
“So?”
He said coldly
“I gave up my certificate for you Anderson! I never wanted you to spend an extra year. I left to another law school”
I stopped as tears came running continuously
“My dad tried his best to get me another certificate faster in a new school, he spent all his money as he became bankrupted”
I closed my eyes in tears as the memories hûrts
“I didn’t get to attain my certificate despite my brilliancy, What more was left with that? Everything became hard on us. I took the decision to leave home that particular night!”
I continued in tears
“Dad followed me despite his sickness, he got into an accident when he wanted to stop me from going further into darkness”
I couldn’t hold tears as they fell free
“That’s why my dad is in a vegetative state since then! I vowed never to use my smartness to win anything. I never wanted to use my brilliancy again.”
“If only I didn’t think of leaving home, if only I was given my certificate, if only you weren’t asked to spend an extra year, My dad wouldn’t have to be in cøma”
I continued in tears
ANDERSON
I never realized I had been crying all along.
Lakshmi did all that for me?
Her dad?
Because of me?
“Lakshmi why should you go to the extent of giving up your certificate?”
I asked her in tears
“Because of the promise! I promised to help you when you’re in a situation when you can’t help yourself either ”
She said crying
I can’t believe she did all that because of the promise she made.
“Why should you ?”
“It was love. I loved you with my heart, sincerely”
She said whipping tears off my face
“I’m so sorry Lakshmi, I never knew. We could still make the relationship work!”
I said holding her hands
“No. It can’t, I’m not the right person for your love”
She said removing her hands from mine
“Lakshmi?”
“I’m sorry Anderson, I have to leave again”
She said turning
“Please, just once don’t leave”
Tears flowed down my face
“There’s no bigger punishment for me than this”
She said removing the silver necklace I bought for her
She dropped it into my hands
“Lakshmi please”
“There’s either a happy love or a sad one, do you know what ours is?”
She asked me trying to fighting back tears
“No”
I said shaking my head twice
“Ours was filled with sadness and happiness, every moment I felt were happy ones. I’m sorry”
She said before turning her back and leaving.
I couldn’t hold or run after her.
My heart felt heavy immediately she left
I broke into tears as I held my chest hard
I’m so sorry Lakshmi!
No matter what everyone says
No matter what they talk about,
You’ll still be mine forever
I promise you that!
I love you!
