Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 37

The door suddenly flew open and we both directed our gaze towards it, only to see the panting figure of Nike coming inside

“ple..ase..you have to come and help me, i can’t separate….them” She said sniffing, and trying to pursue her breath

She doesn’t have to say it twice, as i discharged myself hurriedly from the room and ran towards the living room

I got to the living room only to find a man on top of Joke’s mum trying to smother her as she was wriggling desperately to get away from him. He was covered in sweat

I hate seeing things like this, only a senseless man will try to kill a defenseless woman, not to talk of his wife. Had it been shango had not fvcked up, his factory reset Thunder might just come in handy right now

In what seems like a flash, i ran towards them and tried to hurl the man away from Joke’s mum. But he was much more aware of my intentions than my calculation as he send a jaw cutting elbow to my lower right cheeks. I felt a very excrutiating pain surge through my mouth as i staggered backwards to get a foothold on the marble floor

I watched him try to land a heavy slap on her face but she ducked her head sideways and his hand flew in thin air. I siezed the opportunity to calculate my next move as i rushed towards him like a gustling wind and give him a heavy kick in his lower region that sends him sprawling on the floor.

Nike quickly walked towards her mum and helped her to her feet. She was very weak and her face was covered in tiny bruises.

“you absolute fool!” she groaned after getting up. “you gonna pay for this, you want to kill me? Because of the courts judgement?,..”she paused again to arrest her breath “i’ve given you my life, my mo..ney, my..body, and yet you still want to hurt me by bringing your illegitimate daughter to this house? Thats not gonna happen…I said i’ve had enough of your wayward life..go ahead and be with your mistress and child..just leave me and my daughters alone!…you this absolute idiotic idiot” she cursed out angrily at her husband

Nike wrapped are arms around her mum sobbing and trying to pacify her

“its…ok mum, just leave….him alone” Nike said amid gentle sobs

The man gently rose up and tried to run towards her, but i quickly intervened.

“oh..oh..i wouldn’t try that again sir if i were you…please just respect yourself sir” i said with a hoarse voice and stern looks

I think he was a bit intimidated with my height and muscle as he slowly backed away and shifted his gaze towards the mother and child, he returned his furious gaze to my face and lashed out

“and who do you think you are? To be giving me orders in my wife’s house? Eh!”. He snarled

I was about to seize the opportunity he gave me with his statement by revealing the true identity of the owner of the house when Joke’s mum interrupted

“he’s my new boy friend John! And he has every right to defend me! Because he’s proven to be much more better than what you could have ever been! Stick that to your unstabled brain!” she fired what seems like the most absurd statement of the year at him

To say he was dumbstruck, would have been the most outrageous understatement ever used by any Arsenal fan to describe the look on Arsene wenger’s face when he received the sack letter in January of that year. Thats just a typical of the kind of look on the face of this man called John as the effects of Joke’s mums words settled majestically in his brain

“your..your…what?” he asked with a serious confused look.”you can’t be serious! We might be divorced but that doesn’t give you any rights to date a..a playboy like this idiot here!” he barked pointing his fingers at me

“watch your tongue sir, don’t ever call me an idiot again! Or else…”i stated slightly upset

“or else what?…go on finish it…” he said wryly

I only hissed at him and shook my head before he backed away. He gave Joke’s mum a disgusting look

“you will all pay for this! You count on it!” he threatened as he headed towards towards the exit. Few seconds later we heard the gate open and gave out a loud bang later

I hurried outside to lock the gate and came back inside to join Nike to escort their mum to her room upstairs

“i wanted to say thank you for helping me back there but…but the words seems too small Darous… Thank you.” Joke’s mum said as we helped her get on the bed after Nike had helped her nurse her bruises. Nike pulled the blankets on her and laid beside her

“its nothing maam..am really glad that i could be of help” I said with a feral grin

“ok dear, we talk tomorrow, i need to be alone now…goodnight”. She said tiredly

Nike and I headed back to the sitting room. Joke have managed to wheel herself back there.

“your cheeks? does it hurts?” Nike asked with a concerned tone as we sat down

“nothing hurts more than seeing your parents fight eachother…trust me i know how it feels.” I said

“well, welcome to the family” Joke said smiling.
