Must Read: Before She Dies

Thelda responded, “I’m fine. There’s something I’ll like to discuss with you.”


The IG brightened up, “Feel free madam, I’m listening.”

Her voice became flat, “You remember what happened after I became pregnant?”

The IG said, “I don’t remember. What happened, please?”

Thelda said, “You advised me to keep the pregnancy from my husband.”
“That’s right. Is there any problem?”
“I think there’s.” She said slowly, “That particular baby you made me keep from my husband has become a problem.”

The IG was confused, “I don’t understand, how do you mean?”
“Stella is coming to your apartment and her remaining alive is very risky.” She drained her tea cup.
“What’re you talking about? Stella is dead and_”
Thelda interrupted, “That was what it supposed to be but many things went wrong along the line.”
“I don’t understand.”
“Honestly, I wish I’ve the time to explain but unfortunately, I can’t do that now. I suppose she’s already on her way to your apartment. All I want you to do is to kill her once she steps into your house and if she has got company, take her into custody. I’ll explain everything to you later.”



The IG thundered, “What the hell are you talking about?”
Thelda smiled, “What I’m talking about is that you made me keep something that’s against the law from my late husband. In addition, you slept with me while you claimed to be Williams’ best friend. Believe it or not, I videoed us enjoying ourselves that very sunny afternoon.” She smiled, “You know the implication if I show the world how callous you’ve been. You betrayed your best friend and made me hide everything from my husband. I can even claim it contributed to his death. What I want is very simple. Since I couldn’t abort her when she was still a fetus, I think I can get rid of her now. I told you I can’t have the child but you insisted. If you neglect what I’ve asked you, then we both will be facing criminal charges very soon. You know the law and its stipulations more than I do. Most importantly, the reputation you’ve already built is at stake. No citizen will believe you could do such a thing and I won’t want you to get down. I know you won’t like such situation. I’m sorry.”



The IG stammered, “You’re planning to blackmail me?” But Thelda had hung up.
