“Cherry, E don do…no cry again. Just relax here make I go to talk to am…easy o.” Mekus spoke softly to me as he assisted me to sit on his tattered mattress.

The pain in my throat was excruciating and I had a headache. I moved to lay on his bare mattress. I didn’t care that it looked dirty or bedbug infested, I was too tired.

Mekus had rescued me from Broda. If not for him, I would have been referred to as a corpse.

“You need water? Make I get you paracetamol?” Mekus asked. He looked worried.

I shook my head weakly and thanked him.
“Make I go talk to am. Just calm down and relax. Everything go dey Alright.” He assured me and walked out of his room.
I curled on the mat in a fetal position as I wondered if Broda would ever forgive me. All the beatings I had received from him had never gotten to the point of him wanting to kill me.

I felt guilty that I had cheated on him. I should have told him the truth right at the beginning. I’m sure he wouldn’t have allowed me to continue to work at the company. I was a tramp, I concluded.

I prayed to God to touch his heart to forgive me, after all, I did it for Broda. I gave him all the money the Director had given me. I just didn’t want to be a liability to him, I had to prove I was useful somehow.

I cried myself to sleep.

I felt light taps on my shoulder. I woke up to see it was Mekus.
“Good morning, hope your body dey fine?”
“Morning?” I was alarmed and I stood up quickly.

I had passed the night in Mekus room, Broda would kill me.

Mekus noticed my uneasiness. “Don’t worry, I stay with am for una room for night. He don calm down, you fit go meet am, talk to am…”

“Abeg, you fit come with me?” I dreaded meeting Broda. Even if he was calm as Mekus had claimed, I didn’t know what to say to him, There is no good excuse for cheating.
“Don’t worry, nothing go happen. Una need talk in private.” Mekus said calmly.
My mouth went dry as I nodded and walked out of his room.

As I got closer to our room, my pulse quickened. My palms were damp with sweat. I wished I could sink into the ground and never come out.

I entered quietly into the room and saw Broda staring out the window. I wanted to greet him but I was too scared to do so. I stood close to the doorway ready to make a run for it.
He noticed my presence after a few minutes as he turned to look at me. I stared at the floor to avoid his eyes as guilt and shame engulfed me.

The silence in the room was painful and heavy.
“The only reason you dey breathe na because of Mekus, go thank am, he be your god.” Broda said calmly and turned his back on me to stare out the window.
“Who dey screw you?” He asked calmly.
My bladder felt too full all of a sudden. I began to tremble as I thought of the best way to answer the question without provoking him.
“Answer me.”
My tears mixed with sweat. “Its…Na–Na just one Man…just one person.” I stammered.
“Name.”
I fumbled with my moist fingers. “Mu…Musa.”
Broda turned to look at me with disgust. “Na aboki you dey fork?”

I shook my head vigorously.
“Na my director, for work.” I spoke with a low voice.

Broda laughed, I looked up to see him shaking his head.

“Because of promotion! Small 80k, you spread your leg wide…one for Lagos, the other one reach Kano! Cheap Sluut!”
His words tore into me like a sharp blade. Tears gushed out of my eyes.

“I’ve always known you are dumb and useless! Very daft! Everything you just dey too slow…Your mates wet dey do runs, Na mansion them dey build, see big big cars wey them dey drive…but you, nothing to show for it!”

He stared at me with disdain and I closed my eyes to cry.
“How long una don dey fork?”
I sniffed. “About 2 months.”
I heard him groan. “Na relationship una get na.”
I shook my head.

“Which one be no…2 months no be beans.”
I got down to my knees to beg him. “Please…I go quit the job… I no go ever do am again…I be just wan help—”
“Help who?! Na yourself you dey help!”
“Na you I give all the money…I no keep any for myself, I swear!”

Catarrh ran freely down my nostrils. He silently watched me cry.

He walked to the other side of the room and grabbed a small stool. He came towards me to place the stool in front of me and he sat on it.

My heart pounded wildly as I panicked. I mentally prepared myself for a punch or slap.
He faced me squarely.
“You say this man na director for the company, right?
I swallowed as I nodded.

“Na him place you for 80k salary?”
I nodded again.

“You don ask am for money before?”
I shook my head.

“Good. Na him dey give you all those 5k, 10k wey you lie say na stolen goods you dey sell?”
I nodded.

Broda rubbed his chin and smiled.
“Remove your clothes.” He ordered.
I looked at him, confused.
“Now!”
I stood up quickly and did what he said. He beckoned on me to go back to my knees as I removed the last piece of clothing.

I felt less as I knelt down butt naked in his presence.

“Where una dey do am? For his house or una dey lodge for hotel?”
Hot blood rushed to my cheeks. I was ashamed.

Broda raised a hand to hit me but he stopped.
“I don promise Mekus say I no go touch you but if you no cooperate, I go do wetin dey my mind and you no go like am. Answer me!” He urged.

I bowed my head. “Office.” I murmured
Broda broke out in laughter. “Like the dog you are.” He said and spat on my face.
I wanted to wipe away his saliva but he stopped me.

He kept on laughing at me as I cried. My body shook with each sob. I hated myself.

Broda stopped laughing. ” Our engagement is canceled. I no want do again…you fit go meet your rich man.”

I widened my eyes at him and shook my head. “Please…please…. I love you…no leave me.” I held his leg tightly as I begged.

He watched me as I begged.

“Okay…just do as I say, if I see say you loyal, I fit marry you at the end, because Na wetin go benefit both of us I dey look out for.”

“I go do am…I go do am.” I was desperate. I couldn’t risk Broda leaving me. I still loved him.

“You love the man?” Broda asked as he looked deep into my eyes.

“No.” I said firmly, I didn’t look away. I tried to believe what I felt for the Director was just plain lust.
Broda nodded.

“Now…you go write down him name and surname for me. The name of the company too. You dey hear me so?”
I sniffed and nodded. I wondered what he was up to. I hoped he didn’t have plans to harm the Director.

“On Monday, when you resume work, I want make una continue with the relationship… Give am sweet love. I go visit you for your office, you go introduce me as your elder brother.”

‘Oh God, not again!’ I thought.
“You hear me?” Broda asked.
I nodded.

“If you try anything stupid, I go kill you. Any money wey he give you no touch am for any reason at all… If you want make we still marry, I have to trust you… You don already destroy that trust, I dey give you second chance to build am back.”

I heaved a sigh of relief. “I no go dissapoint you, I swear.” I assured him.
“Good.”

Broda stood up from the stool as he painfully grabbed me by my hair. I whimpered as he made me face the wall.

He pressed my head down till I was bent on all fours.

“Stay like that.” He ordered.
I felt a hot slap on my bare bottom and I grunted.

I jumped as he probed my anal hole with his manhood. I turned to look at him with wide eyes.

He pushed my head back down and threatened to hit me if I moved.

He forced himself deep into my anus and I cried out in pain.

He drove fast and tore into me as he pounded. I felt a warm and sticky liquid seep out of me, I suspected it was blood.

“From now on…na this hole I go dey use.” Broda grunted as he increased his pace.
My face was contorted with pain and I bit down on my lip to keep myself from screaming.

I shut my eyes tightly and tried to blur out the pain.

If this was the price I had to pay, so be it.
I promised to do everything I could to gain Broda’s love and trust again.
