Web of Deception [ EDITING !!!]

•41•

Osas had said he had feelings for her which he didn't deny.

I really have to do something urgently about her but she had not clearly said she had feelings for him back but from the text message it was obvious something was up with her.

I would have ordered Tolu to threaten her but it was not safe doing that. I'll just wait another day maybe if Seyi doesn't make me more mad than I am, maybe just maybe I will let her go this week.

You may be smiling now Seyi but when I get Osas out of our life I will be the one smiling the most.

I just needed to contact one person that I know will help me.

The kettle steamed and I snapped out of my thoughts.

I sighed. Now to deal with the matter at hand.

I poured the water to the custard but before then I had added small water to it. I stirred the custard slowly...

It didn't form. It was watery!!

I felt myself begin to  panic.

After so many attempts I gave up. They just have to take it like this whether they like it or not.

I poured the custard in a cooler and left the kitchen

The maids will clean the mess up. They should see it as a punishment for defying me.

Seyi was in the living room. I sat down beside him.He looked surprised.

He should better get used to this cause there is no way I'm going to give him a chance to think about Osas.

Not even a chance.

"You've made the custard. Already?".

"Yeah. It's perfect."

"Really?." He let out a sardonic smile.

I rolled my eyes. " Yes it is."

"Good morning."

We both turned to see his mom. She was dressed in a fancy Ankara gown.

"Morning mom."

"Good morning ma." We both said at the same time.

"How was your night Zina?." She let out a tight smile.

"It was fine ma." I smiled.

Why does she look like she has something to say to me.

"What's wrong mom ?" Seyi asked.

"What's wrong?" She glanced at Seyi and rested her gaze at me.

"Zina why is the kitchen like that?."

"I uhm.. I thought the maids would clean the kitchen after I'm done."

"I know your new here and all but you have to clean after yourself. It's not every time there will be people to clean up your mess."

I bowed my head in embarrassment. " I'm sorry ma."

"I'll clean it mom." Seyi stood.

I glanced at him. Shocked.

"You'll clean the kitchen?." She also sounded surprised.

"Yes. Afterall i asked for the custard."

"Okay then. The maids have set the food. When your done call your dad and I. We are outside."

"Okay ma."

"Why did you offer to clean it?." I asked as his mom left.

"Cause I love you and I'm really surprised you made the custard."

The custard didn't turn out well but that wasn't what caught my attention.

He had said he loved me. Although he had said various times this time sounded different.

"Uh.. thanks." I stood." I can also assist you." I offered.

He shook his head. " It's all fine. Your my guest in my home."

I sat down back and watched him leave. Something was really different about him. Could it possibly be about Osas?. Maybe being rejected by Osas just made him different?.

I have to thank Osas for that. Maybe there won't be need to threaten her again. She had done all the work.

HEY GUYS,

Well I didn't see that coming. Could it be that Seyi is really interested or trying to be interested in Zina or is it all an act?.

And poor Micheal. All he wants is for Osas to love him back but yet she's clearly in love with an engaged man. At least it's better than a married one 😭😭( I mean no offense!!.)

Reader : will they get over each other ?

Author: They better oh. Like Lennon said there are only a few stories to tell in the end, and betrayal and failure of love is one of those good ones.

Omg!!

Did I tell you guys the ending already???😭😭💔
