‘uh..’ Ann rolled her eyes ‘let me not bore u with d details jareh, d guy is not worth my saliva’ She stood up ‘are u hungry….there’s stew and there’s soup….which would u prefer?’
‘i’m not hungry…..we stopped over at a restaurant on our way here….all i just feel like doing right now is smoking’ She rolled her eyes.

‘oh then i’m sorry, it aint gonna work. My parents are pastors and according to them, this house is d temple of God….so, no illicit action’s gonna go down here’
‘u mean u cant straff ur BF here?’
‘what?! Whatever happened to his house or a hotel?’

‘ur husband nko?’
‘thats a different thing entirely….the bible encourages marital sex….without sex, how do u ober God’s command of multiplying and filling d world?’ She winked as she fell back on her chair.
‘okay, can i get a shot of whisky then? That will help me calm down a little…..’
Ann shook her head slowly ‘sorry Popili….there’s no alcholic drink here…..’
‘u know….u keep avoiding my question….how did u know my name is Popili…..only my late elder brother calls me by that name’
‘whats ur late elder brother’s name?’
‘Lex….Alex’
‘oh! So sorry….so what killed him?’
‘well, our house was set on fire, i know someone was behind it because we were sleeping when d fire started…my whole family died’
‘oh! How then did u get out unscathed?’
‘well, two of our neighbours help us out but unfortunately….when one of them came out of their house, they didnt know that one of their kids were behind them….so somehow, as they were trying to bring me out of d fire through the window, the child ran into d fire even before his father knew….’
Ann covered her mouth with her palms ‘thats so bad…the man would have hated himself and hated u too’
‘the man hated me….he abandoned me there immediately…it was d other neighbour, uncle Efe that helped me and took me in’
‘Efe? Rebecca’s husband?’
‘yes….he was such a good man and he didnt deserve to die such a painful death….he was a father figure in my life and i miss him sometimes….when i think about my entire family who was wiped out in d fire, i think of him too and i was like…..where would i have been if not for him….and thats why despite d maltreatment and hatred i get from his wife and children, i’m determined to give them a better life….its not for them….its for uncle Efe because he will never be happy wherever he is to see his children suffering….’
‘Tega is 25 right? What does he do for a living?’

‘oh Tega?!’ She scoffed ‘he know nothing but sit outside our compound shirtless and decieving girls with his sexy abs and sugarcoated tongue, smoking marijuana, stealing Rebecca’s money and hanging out with friends, he does not work’
‘and Juliet?’
‘that one….at age nineteen, she had done over seven abortions, d girl started straffing at d age of eleven….and it was uncle James, i’m very sure of that…we used to be close before her mother spoilt her mind….’

Ann moved closer and rubbed her shoulder ‘babe, you’ve gone through alot…u deserve a better life than this really…..Ogba doesnt deserve u….but….what if not all of ur family members died in d fire? Have u thought of that possibility….the way someone rescued u….maybe someone rescued one as well…..’

Fiona frowned in confusion ‘what do u mean?’
‘i’m just saying….u know…..’
The door opened and Sabastian, their housekeepr came in ‘ma’am Annabel….a Lex Johnson is here to see u….’
