Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 3
“Jade, come and open this gate” Mr. John Ola thundered from outside, interrupting my sleep.. I jumped out of my bed and opened the gates.
“Oga have a nice day ohh” I waved at his car as he sped off. I returned to my room to put on my shirt as I was used to sleeping shirtless. I heard a knock on my door…
“Come in” I echoed
“Jade, good morning” Anne said, presenting to me a tray. In it was a cup of tea and soft milk bread. Her beauty seemed to be increasing by the day. My heart melted, as I stammered..
“good morning Anne. Thanks alot. Please, just drop it right there” I said, pointing at the table.
“Jade, I’ve been wondering, you’re new here and I haven’t shown you around. D-do you mind?” She asked, holding her left hand with her right hand, and her head bent to the floor. Her words hit me like a lightening bolt. My heart throbbed in joy and sweetness.
“Oh, that’s so good of you, Anne. I don’t mind. I will join you soon.
“Okay” she said and took her leave.
I had dreamt about her the previous night. My heartbeat increased each time I thought about her. There was something special about Anne but I just couldn’t place my finger on it. I had met a lot of girls back in the village but I had never felt the way I was feeling. I quickly rushed to the window and saw her walk into the mansion.
“Jaaaade!” A voice called from the living room. I could tell it was Mrs. Ola. I quickly wore my slippers and rushed.
“Yes ma” I answered as I arrived the living room.
“Don’t call me ma. Call me Ola”. she said as she turned and glanced at me…
I was surprised, I couldn’t fathom why she would ask me not to call her ma.
“Now, Jade, I want you to listen carefully. Behave yourself and your stay in this house will be comfortable. One step out of line and I will make you wish you weren’t born…
“That would be all. You can leave” she said as she turned and continued watching TV.
Without a word I took my leave. Anna was waiting outside…
