Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 38

Ajoke popped open a bottle
of champagne to the cheer
of her friends. She could not
believe her half sister could
be so generous as to
transfer her beautiful house
to her. They were just like
twins even though Ronke is
about five years older than
her. It hadn’t taken her
three hours to pack her
luggage from her friend’s
room. She had been
squatting with her friend
for about six months and
the despicable girl never
failed to remind her of that
fact. She had asked to stay
with Ronke but Ronke had
told her that she used her
house for her ‘business’
and it would be a real
inconvenience having her
there. She had sent money
to her but she decided to
endure the insults of her
friend in order to use the
money for the Ipad she had
desired. When she got that
call, she had packed all her
belongings in a flash. Met
with her sister, collected the
documents of the house
and stormed the house like
a real house owner would.

Not even ten minutes after
her arrival, she had received
a rather unexpected guest –
a man, accompanied by two
police men. Instantly, she
knew that the cocktail that
Ronke had told her was just
a cover-up. There was no
one interested in marrying
her. Ronke had told her that
a man was interested in her
and asked her to live with
him and that that was the
reason why she decided to
give her her house. she had
accepted the story that was
due to her exceeding joy of
having a house in her
name. staring at the police
men and the raging man,
she presented an innocent
and confused face. Now
that she has a house in her
name, she would not give it
up so easily.

“Yes, what can i do for you”
she said, closing the door
behind her and stepping
out. the fat man scrutinized
her.

“She is not the one” he said
to the police men. “Eh you,
where is the owner of this
house? i believe she must
be your sister”

Ajoke glared at him like he
had lost his mind.

“Mr man,
i don’t know what has got
into you ooo, this is my
house” she adjusted her
shirt and squared her
shoulders.

“Woman, you better
cooperate with us” one of
the police men said.

Ajoke turned her smiling
face at the young
policemen.

“Listen to me
guys, i am the owner of this
beautiful house, thanks to
handsome guys like you.
You can come and check my
documents” she said
blinking while the old man
was foaming. The men
were wooed by her
gestures. they followed her
inside checked all the
documents and confirmed
it did not have the name
mentioned by man, not
even the surname. the
requested for her national
ID card and she fished it
out. The old man just
looked like he was
dreaming.

The ever accommodating
Joke brought out a bottle of
champagne and invited
them to join. What do you
expect? the policemen
obliged.

“Is this what i brought you
here to do?” the chief
yelled.

The policemen glared at
him.

“Shut up your mouth
old man. Wetin you expect
make we do? We suppose
arrest you sef. You no know
the person wey you dey
find. Na God catch you. Old
man like you go dey pursue
small babes wey we
suppose dey hammer” one
of the policemen ranted,
sipping his wine.

The chief, obviously
frustrated stormed out
cursing.

The policemen had left
minutes later, apologizing
for the inconvenience and
Joke called her friends for
proper house-washing
celebration. This house has
become hers and she
would not let it go for
anything in the world. Over
her dead body.

Chief Rammon got to his
house dejected. He could
not believe his bad luck. He
had woken up to an empty
room with his briefcase
nowhere to be found. The
money is not even his own.
Fifty Million Pounds. So
much bad luck for wanting
to cool his blood. He
swallowed as his wife
ranted and ranted about his
useless life. He did not even
yell back like he used to
before, only walked into his
bedroom like a robot,
locked the door and fell on
the bed in tears.

He had hurried to Ronke’s
house< hoping to still find
her there but he met a
locked gate. He had
assigned someone who
was close by to inform him
immediately there is any
slight movement and had
received a message after
four hours. Before that
time, he had called and
called but it did not go
through.

He placed the pillow on his
head. His life is ruined.Tikes arrived Ajide Close in a
vehicle with two of his guys
around 9pm. Oyin had told
him that the girl is a very
sharp and cunning girl. He
had boasted of the fact that
she could not do anything
but he decided not to take
chances. He would do a
clean job.

He checked for number 44,
noting the colour of the
house. He checked the
picture again and made a
mental picture.

He got to the gate and
pressed the bell. A figure
came out and he
immediately identified the
lady as the one he had seen
in the picture.

She opened the gate and he
smiled.

“Hello” he said and pulled
the trigger.
