Belina - S02 E29 (Story Episode)

Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 29

Oyinade drove her car so
recklessly that she had
almost gotten herself killed
by on-coming vehicles. It is
so early in the morning and
no one should be seen in
such speed. She needed to
see Ronke. She could really
use some advice.

The previous day is what
you would term her worst
nightmare. She couldn’t
believe she had actually
spilled the beans to that
tormentor. She closed her
eyes briefly as she
remembered the awkward
tension she felt in her own
office.

“I love Richard ma” she had
dropped immediately Prisca
stopped talking. Prisca’s
facial expression did not
change one bit. You would
assume that she already
knew it with the way she
pasted that smile on her
face.

“I have seen him times
without number on the
television and I decided to
work here in BRH, hoping
that he would love me
back” she said in one
breath.

“Oh… so you are trying to
tell me that you never knew
he was married?” Prisca
asked.

Oyinade sniffed and shook
her head. “I never knew
until I got here. When I got
here and discovered he was
married, I just wished I
would have something with
him”.

“You are a terrible liar. I am
going to let that slide
though. I thought you
denied being a w---e; tell
me: what ‘plan’ did you put
in place to ensure that
Richard leaves his beautiful
bride?” Prisca asked
Oyinade looked at her. She
had truly heard everything
she said to Ronke, she
thought. She had hoped
that she didn’t hear
everything; the ending part
particularly.

“You would tell
her ma’am. You would tell
them and my life would be
shattered, I would be
jobless.” She had cried.

“No. I would not tell a single
soul. I just want to
determine if you are the
best person for me to use.
You see, Belina came into
my family, taking away my
parents’ attention and
drawing it to herself. She
became showered with all
kinds of gifts and my
parents scolded me all the
time because of her. She
became a peasant; a thorn
in my flesh. I have wanted
to pay her back somehow,
anyhow, but I hadn’t got
the chance till now. You
taking Richard would mean
that I have my revenge and
you also have your man.
What do you think?”

Oyinade was speechless.
She had known from her
distant study of Prisca that
she is dangerous and
unpredictable but she
hadn’t expected her to be
that way with her sister.

She knew how neglect can
make you do silly things
having experienced it first-
hand with her parents.

“Ok ma. I tried to seduce
him with my body but he is
too immune towards me.

The only thing I did and
succeeded with was to
create discord between
them. Maybe you can give
me an advice as to how to
go about it though, I have
not even had twenty-four
hours of complete victory.”
Oyin said, happy that she
now had a formidable ally.

Prisca stood up, raising her
phone in the air.

“Thanks
for you sincerity my dear, it
was most helpful. For the
record, I did not have your
earlier phone conversation
recorded, it was just bait.
Now, I have your
confessions recorded. Next
time, think twice about
s------g with my family
because Richard and Belina
are family. Chaos. MUAH”
Prisca blew her a kiss and
waltzed out of the office
with a cool smile. All the
blood flowing through
Oyinade’s veins seemed to
freeze as she choked.

Oyinade parked her car in
front of Ronke’s compound.
She had been too worn out
to call her last night but she
could really use some advice
right now. She had rejected
all of Ronke’s advices,
relying on her own ideas
and impulses but presently,
she could not even think of
a single line of action.

She knocked on the
entrance door and Ronke
came out in her night gown
to open. They greeted
normally and she sat down
on the chair forcefully.

Ronke stared at Oyin,
expecting her to begin her
blabbing about her
stupidity and asking how
they were going to deal
with Belina’s pregnancy but
instead, she just sat there,
looking at her with her
head in her hands.

“I am finished Ronke.
Totally screwed” Oyin said
after long silence.

“Yeah, I got it. The pretty
wife is pregnant” she said
sarcastically, going to grab
a bottle of water even
though she really wanted to
drink something strong.
“No. it is much worse than
that” Oyin said, catching
Ronke’s attention with her
grim face. She narrated all
that happened the previous
day, right from the very top
where she had refused to
see Richard, making him
feel guilty, to the very
bottom. Ronke just gaped
at her when she finished
like she had ten heads.

“You are the most stupid
idiot I have ever seen in my
life. Were you possessed or
something?” she barked.
“Don’t insult me, d--n you.
Let’s just find a way to solve
this problem, please” Oyin
said.

“You must be crazy if you
think that I am going to
help you with anything. The
time I was there to help,
you did not listen to me.

This is your problem and
you would solve it yourself.

If I were you, I would be
more concerned about a
bigger problem.” She said,
finally grabbing a drink.
Oyinade was confused and
stricken.

“What are you
talking about?”
“I can blow the whistle
faster than any referee in a
football match. I know of all
your plans, everything you
did just to get Richard and
his wealth to yourself. I also
know of the two million
naira fraud you committed
last year in your former
hospital before leaving”.
Oyinade blanched.

“How do
you know about that?” she
asked, shaken to her roots.
Ronke walked back to her
seat, glass of whiskey in
one hand.

“Unlike you, I am
not so stupid. Now, if I
were you, I would be
looking for five million
Naira. I give you two weeks;
two weeks to get the
money, if not, you would be
behind bars faster than you
can ever imagine” Ronke
said, placed her glass
against her lips and took in
a mouth-full of whiskey.
