Romoke! Oh my God! Please wait! ” Romoke couldn’t believe her eyes, Bola was hurrying up to meet her, how could she have seen her in this large mall. She looked around the mall, people were probably busy minding their business.

she had decided to get some things for Ade and Sikemi had driven her in her small car.Her eyes got glued on Bola ‘s thin frame, Her complexion had started fading like thecolour of dried harmattan grass, the flowery dress she wore sagged and thereby revealing her protruding belly. Romoke suddenly remembered the threat she had received some weeks back, she shifted away from her and started picking somethings from the shelf and throwing them in her shopping basket.“of course Romoke I don’t expect you to see me and be happy. Am really sorry for the way I treated you. Look my sins have really caught up with me I wished I listened to you, and not allowed jealousy cloud my emotions. I got married to Emmaafter you left and I got pregnant shortly afterwards he would bring his girlfriends home and will force me to serve them, he would beat me even in my condition. So I decided to look for you and apologize ” she sniffed her nose and blinked her eyes so as not to prevent tears from falling.” Bola why will you threaten me on phone, what have I done to you”? Bola lifted her face as her highly pimples face creased into a frown.“me? What are you talking about? I never did what you are thing Romoke, have beenengulfed with my own problems not to think of yours” Romoke shrugged, though confused if it’s not Bola then who doesn’t want her progress.“alryt I have to go now, see you around Bola “. She smiled at Bola and left before she stops her.Romoke got into the car and heaved a sigh, she turned to her friend, unable to hide her fears she blurted out.” it wasn’t Bola who threatened me on the phone the other day” Sikemi frowned, her heart raced.“it was who? ”” I don’t know and I think I need to let Ade know” Sikemi relaxed, she felt irritated all of a sudden, why must she always find a way to chip Ade in every discussion they made, she almost told her to shut up but was almost grateful when her phone rang until she heard her say “helo Ade….” only then did she return to her previous mood and drove off.*******************************************************Martha m0aned,as the skinny guy on top of her kept on increasing his thurst, he turned her backwards with her slim butt0ckz facing him as he increased his thurst again, he collapsed on her after some minutes, then climbed down the slimmattress and wore his trouser. Martha stood up and wrapped herself with her faded wrapper and checked on her baby who was sleeping soundly in her cradle.

She wasn’t proud of what she does but she couldn’t bring herself to stop either. The skinny guy gave her some few wads of naira notes and then something wrapped in black nylon, she smiled.“na two shots dey inside, use am wisely” the skinny guy rubbed his nose like a drug addict.“ehrm babe, be careful with your child, don’t always leave her with people and don’t trust anyone ” Martha noded, she doesn’t trust anyone except her roommate and friend Ezinne. She closed the door after he left and went to check the black nylon he had given her, she brought out the AK-47 and smiled it is time for revenge.Theophilus watched the two women talking in low tones at the back of his house, his wife was whispering to their pregnant neighbour who was also noding and clapping her hands. He went back to the sitting room, you can’t possibly separate women from gossip, they will justdie he smiled. He had already planned his relocation to Ghana, he had already bought a house and a car and set up a car dealer shop, he was just waiting for finishing touches so he could go. He didn’ttell his wife about it but he was going to look for Martha, though he still loved her. He shrugged, he had gotten a big contract for one prof Patrick to repair and service his fleet of cars and it is worth two million naira.

He needed to seal his deal with the man and leave the country since the policewere still investigating his sugar MaMa’s death. He shook his head, he was happy she was dead. Just then he heard a gunshot and heard his wife’s shout, he quickly ran outside, and saw a body in a pool of blood.****************************Martha walked quickly as fast as her legs could carry her. She entered into the taxi she had rented and gave instructions to the man to take her back home. She quickly hid the AK – 47 she had wrapped in a black nylon and hid it away in her bag.Her hand shook, she hoped blessing will rot in hell she thought, though she hadn’t seen the person she shot but she was sureit was her cause she heard her voice.“madam we don reach” she sq££zed some money into his palms and alighted from the taxi. She walked silently into her house and was surprised the door was slightly open“Ezinne, why will you not lock the door by this time of the night, haba, it’s 10:00pm for God’s sake “. She hissed and turned onthe light, she couldn’t find her friend in the room, Her eyes quickly darted to the cornerher baby’s crib was and what she saw nearly made her faint. She quickly caught her breath and sat on the squeaking bed with hot tears dropping down her eyes, where was her child? and where could Ezinne have gone to.

Just then, her phone rang, she hissed and dropped her phone, it was the skinny guy she sleeps with that was calling her. Her eyes caught a phone on the bed, it was Ezinne’s phone, and she saw a written note beside it. She carried the note with shaky hands and read it.“Martha, in this life, we don’t have friends just enemies and people who just want to use you as a means to their end. So be careful and watchful.

Don’t bother looking for your baby, I sold her to ritualist and youwill never find me cause am already on myway to Europe. ” she shut her eyes and fell on her bed, she was bitter, she thought of ending her life when the skinny guy called again, she picked the phone and breathed into it” spiff,…. Ezinne has kidnapped by child ooo”******************************
