Zina P.o.v

" Hey you."

Seyi had finally returned my call after hours.

"Where are you ?.Gerald told me that you weren't with him."

"I.. I'm in the hospital."

"What happened. Are you okay?."

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just took someone to the hospital and found that some one i knew was in the hospital."

"Is he fine then ?"

"She's better now."

" She?. I didn't know it was a she.  who Is this she?".

"Osas."

That bitch.

"Osas?" I clasped my hand on the phone.

"Yeah. She just came out from the surgery room, so she's just resting."

"Sad. When are you coming home?"

"I'm not coming home today."

What!

"What do you mean by your not coming home today?".

I heard a tired sigh." Try and understand Zina"

"Understand that my fiance is staying with another woman at the hospital?. Yeah I understand." I said sarcastically.

"She has no one to stay with her."

"Why must it be you then?. Doesn't she have a family or friends?".

I hear sounds on the back ground. " I have to go now. I love you."

I hate you.

"I love you too but-'" the line disconnected.

I tossed my phone on the couch as I paced the living room.

Who does he think he is  ?. Why is he doing this?. It's all Osas fault. I have to get rid of her...all means necessary.

Seyi is for me and me alone. No one can take him from me !!.

"What happened?" Tolu asked as she approached the living room.

"Seyi is not coming home this night."

"Why?"

"Apparently, he needs to stay with another woman in the hospital."

"Wow." She said with all incredulity.

"I need to get rid of her." I mused.

"Well I do know a person that can help you with that." Tolu eased on the couch.

"By rid I mean, I want her dead do you understand what I mean?".

"Your not joking?".

"Does it look like I'm shining my teeth." I snapped

Fear flickered in Tolu eyes but it was gone as soon as it came.

"I do know someone that can kill her but I think killing should be put as your last ticket. We will try threatening her. If that doesn't work, we go ahead with the plan."

"I see..."

"But there's a catch."

Here it comes.

"We have to be paid." She smiled.

"I'll pay you as long as you do your job."

"Of course. Don't you worry. By the time we are done with her she would even be scared to think of  Seyi."
