Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 9
When we got home, Clara was already restless
We met her outside the house, close to the garage
Our garage is sperate from the house
She was boiling and ready to explode
Not because of anger, but because of jealousy that metamorphosed into anger, which in turn birthed hatred
All these were written all over her face
“Where have you been, Nora?”, she fired
“I went out with Brother”
“Did I ask you who you went out with? How many times will I warn you not to…” she paused as she realized I was still there
She moved her gaze away from Nora and gave me a stern look before she went back inside
That look sent some fears down my spine
But I manned up
Nora proceeded to her room
I went straight to my room to think of the next line of action
I thought about so many things
‘Is Nora saying the truth? Is Clara that evil? I had to do something, and fast. Telling my father would not be a nice idea. Clara had a way of manipulating anyone to do her bidding. So likely, she might turn my father against me’
These were few of the over a million thoughts I had
I didn’t want to tell my father without having at least one evidence to back it up
My mind took me back to what Nora said about Clara’s BVN slip
‘I must get the slip’, I told myself
I woke up late the following day
It was 9:32am
Few minutes later, Clara knocked on my door
“Ezekiel”, she called out
“Hold on, I’m coming”
I got up from bed and went to open the door
“Good morning”, I greeted
“Good morning dear. How was your night?”
“Was fine. Thanks”
“I haven’t seen coolval Stories you since morning, so I said let me come check on you”
“Thank you”
“There’s food on the table for you. Hurry before it gets cold”, she said
“Thank you”, I replied with a fake smile
“Where is my father?”
“He has gone out and would not be back until evening. Finish up and join me in the sitting room”, she said with a smile
I left her and closed the door behind me.
After I had my bath, I went to the sitting room
It was just Clara and I
She was watching television
I joined her
After few minutes she turned to me
“Please get me my phone from my room. It’s on my bed”, she said
