My Madam And I - S01 E135

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 135

I came back feeling tired. All my bones ached from long distanced walk. I dozed off and was awakened by a phone call. It was from one of my brothers (cult). i wanted to ignore it, but decided to take it.

“Mike, why are you not taking your calls?”. Came the voice.

“been busy”. I said.

“busy doing what?”

“lots of things”. I replied.

“anyways, that’s not why am calling. You have abandoned the brotherhood, no phone communications, nothing! But that’s by the way. There’s war in town, three of our brothers have been killed since the last two weeks. You have to get out of town, Zika gang are coming on us hot!”

These words paralyzed me, and I regretted not leaving town entirely instead of changing location.

“I believe you are not in town, coz nobody has seen you of late”. He said.

“Am somewhere”. I said.

“You are the prime target, just get out of town if you’re still in town. I am in my grandmother’s village right now. Take care and be safe.” He hung up.

Fear gripped me to the marrow, I immediately ensured my doors where padlocked and came back to the bed. I put a call across to Koko for update.

“Bro, these hoodlums kept hovering around since last night. We called police on their assess. But Mike, let’s get this cleansing thing done. You heard what the man said”. Koko said.

“I don’t have up to that amount”. I said.

“but you said you had it before now”. Koko said.

“I never said that. All I have is just 2, 32000”. I replied.

“lets go see him, perhaps he will agree”. Koko said.

I agreed, and we booked appointment for the next day.

The next day came like a flash, even though I was scared of going out, I summoned courage and joined Koko at the spot I asked him to wait for me. From there we both zoomed to the voodoo’s man’s office.

“Are you ready now? Asked the voodoo man.

“Yes sir. But we don’t have up to the amount you asked us to bring”. Said koko.

“How much do you have?”. Asked the voodoo man.

I immediately spoke up before Koko would tell him all the money I had.

“132000”. I said.

“That’s not enough. It’s not even up to the cost of getting the materials let alone my service charge”. The voodoo man said.

“Yes we know sir. You know me, I have been patronizing you, please help us, my friend’s life is in danger. I promise you sir, we are going to pay back all the penny. We are going to work day and night until we pay up sir. Please help us sir”. Koko pleaded on my behalf with a knee on the floor.

“Alright, have your seat.”. The voodoo man said to Koko. “what am going to do for you is to give you a charm that will give you sign of danger”. He added.

I and Koko looked at each other and Koko winked me to go ahead with the idea.

“How much is the charm sir?” I asked.

“It’s a hundred thousand “. The voodoo man replied.

I frowned at the exorbitant amount he mentioned, and Koko nudged me to go ahead with the plan.

The voodoo man went behind, did some incantations, poured a hot drink in his mouth and spat it on the statue, spoke some words in his dialect. Brought out a small mortar and started pounding some leafs and some things with it.

When he was done, he scooped them all into a leaf, stood up and asked me over. When I came he commanded that I took off my clothes, which I did. Then he asked me to turn my back and when I did, he started making some little incisions on my back and applying that substance on it. When I reacted to the pain, he would yell and slap me hard on my back and so I kept calm until my back, shoulders, wrist and chest were covered in blood and black substance.

Then he took a long branch of leafs, dipped it into a water and flogged me with it while he sang an incantation. After that, he asked me to go back to my seat. When we were all seated, he said.

“Now, whenever you feel fresh pain like the one you felt while I was cutting you or a hot pain, just know there’s danger, leave that place immediately. My son, this is not a guarantee, because when you fail to be sensitive the danger will meet you. From now hence forth, don’t meet with a woman in her monthly flow, don’t eat anything with palm oil, never s--k a lactating woman’s breast. Once you can avoid these, your charm will ever be potent”.

I looked at Koko who smiled and nodded.

“Now, pay”. The voodoo man said.

I took out the 100k I withdrew earlier and handed it over to him. He counted it and put in his table’s drawer.

I and Koko stood up and thanked him before we left.

“That was too expensive for just what he did”. I yelled at Koko when we were out of the office.

He looked at me grinning, then he placed his hand on my shoulder and I removed it abruptly because of the pain.

“Money cannot buy life, but life can make money”. Koko said and stopped a taxi.

I was walking down my street feeling pains all over when I saw a very fine latest G wagon packed in front of Easter’s house. I was admiring and looking inside the car through the window when Easters gate opened and she came out with a well fed advanced man in white sleeve, white trousers, white hat, white belt, and white shoes. While Easter was in animal skin leggings that was so light you would think she was Unclad, coz it gave detail to her every contour, and a cropped top blue jean jacket that was opened, reveling her animal skin bra.

I quickly moved away from the car trying to dodge her but she caught me right on time and signaled me to wait with a finger while she flirt with the man before he entered his car and drove off.

“Mike! You are not a good person”. She said to me while the car was yet driving off.

I walked up to her and saw how she filled her face with rings. Though it made her attractive, yet it scares broke people away.

“What did I do?” I asked.

“are you asking me? You stood me up!” she yelled.

“oh, it wasn’t intentional. I was busy”. I replied.

“what’s not intentional? I called you! Why didn’t you return my call?”. Easter yelled.

“Am sorry, I should have but it escaped me, coz I came home tired. I went on a job search”. I said.

She looked at me surprised. Then said in mocking tone.

“Are you job searching?”

“Yes I am”. I replied.

She exploded in an annoying laughter that made my tummy knot in anger. And when she was done, she held my hand and dragged me into her house.

Her apartment was so exquisitely furnished. Every furniture and electronic reeked money. I sat on a couch and fed my eyes while she went inside the house. Soon she was out and sat beside me looking at my face making me uncomfortable.

“Do you know why am looking at you?” she asked.

“No”. I replied.

“Anyone who sees you would think you are wise, I didn’t know you were this dumb. How could you be job hunting when you can be employed”. She said.

“How?’ I asked.

“look around you, don’t you like my apartment?” she asked looking around her well furnished sitting room.

I said nothing and she continued.

“look Mike, when I saw you, I knew we are going to work together. Don’t think am into you, am not ready for men at the moment. Am an adventurer. I can be with a man or a woman, just what tickles my fancy at the time. You are a good man, which is rare these days. I want to introduce you to the another side of life. Many people think am a LovePeddler”. She exploded in laughter, and when she was done, she continued. “let them believe what they like. I’ll let you know when I am sure you are the right man. What would you like to drink”. She changed the topic immediately.
