The Bonny Island Massacre - S01 E27

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 27

Mira: “All my life I have envied Yvonne, her beauty, brains and her good fortune. When you proposed to her, my jealousy went overboard, and I began to hate her. But with what has befallen her, I realize that no man’s fortune is permanent, and anything can change a person’s lot. I regret hating my best friend and wish that this cup would pass from her, so that I can make amends” she had said to Femi one day. Femi had been touched by her supposed honesty and invited her out for a drink. They drank to stupor and when they got to Femi’s apartment, Mira had still requested that they drink again, this time she offered to mix the drink.

Mira had gone to Femi’s little bar and mixed a cocktail in two tall glasses. In one glass, she poured a bottle of Liquid Ecstasy into one glass and mixed it well. When she was done, she carried the two glasses to the bedroom, and gave the mixed one to Femi. He drank it in a gulp and began to undress.

Mira: “I think I should head home now” she said coyly, looking sideways at Femi

Femi: “Go home, no my dear, you have to stay, it is late, I will drop you off tomorrow” he said over excited, this was as a result of the drug Mira had put in his drink. He began to slur his words as he talked to her, and before long, he slumped on the bed. Mira jumped over to him and completed the undressing. She laid him on the bed, and then she undressed herself.

When Femi woke up, he assumed he had slept with her, but in reality nothing had happened between them.

Femi’s father: “What did you say? You drugged my son to set him up for a pregnancy that is not his? I am so glad I adopted, wonder what he would have turned into, if he grew up in your family. Now get out of my house, I don’t want to see you ever again” he said and pushed Mira away.

Mira cried as she went back home, she wondered what her life would be like, with a child that belonged to an old devious man.

“Do I abort it now?” she wondered. She was so lost in her thoughts that she did not realize that a car had been trailing her since she left Femi’s father’s house. She was about to flag down a keke that would take her out of the estate where Femi’s father’s house was situated, when a black sedan without number plates drove and pushed her to the curb. She fell flat on her stomach and before she could stand up, three masked men jumped out of the car and grabbed her. They threw her into the backseat of the car, and she was cushioned between two hefty men.

They drove to a warehouse with padded walls and there they stripped her, and hung her by her hands. They kept asking her who gave her the contract to poison the cake. Mira was stunned that they knew, but her lips were swollen from the blows they had hit her with, to ask them how they knew. She remembered the fateful day like it was yesterday…

Yvonne had insisted on baking her cake, despite opinions from the event planners. So while she was baking the cake, Mira had been taking care of other details with the event planning outfit. But Yvonne’s mother had called and Yvonne had gone to the terrace to receive the call, and Mira had snuck into the kitchen. She had seen the cake batter that Yvonne had mixed, and when she was sure no one was looking, she edged closer, and removed a bottle of green liquid from the pocket of her jumpsuit. When she was sure of the method she wanted to implicate Yvonne, she went on the internet and did a research on poisons, she had found out about the ‘sweet’ poison, which is the Ethylene Glycol, a green substance used in antifreeze. The Ethylene Glycol was capable of crystallizing in the body and then slices and dices the kidney. It was the sole reason that, the guests who ate the cake were vomiting blood. It was like a butcher was slicing their kidneys with his butchering knife.

But no one had suspected her, who were these people and how did they know what she had done? She looked up at them, they had on masks.

“You don’t want to talk?” she heard one of them ask, and then the beating resumed. Then they cut her down, she fell down on the floor, and felt a sharp pain in her abdominal region.

Mira: “Please have mercy on me, I am pregnant” she cried, but the pummeling did not stop.
