Web of Deception [ EDITING !!!]

They all looked like they had just seen a ghost. Rasaq wasn't even looking at me.

As we headed up the stairs I felt Seyi's eyes at my back.  I don't know but I was so sure he was staring at me.

Thank God I had put make up on.

I blushed at my foolishness.

"What's wrong?." I asked as I laid Boma on the bed.

"You'll know downstairs.how was your date?."Ola asked. Her tone was blank.

"Micheal proposed to me."

Her brows shot up." Really? What did you say?."

"I didn't have to reply. His car got robbed. Broke the windows punctured the tyres "

Her face revealed relief.

"I wouldn't have said yes anyway." I said softly.

After seeing Seyi in the living room I had just realised how much I had wanted to see that face.

"Let's go downstairs. We have retrieved the footage."

"That's good." I said.

As we headed downstairs, my gaze caught Seyi's own.

I could feel heat all over my body. My pulse raced and my heart drummed.

I quickly tore my gaze away. To protect my family and Boma I need to avoid him.

I sat far away from him.

"So what's up with the meeting?." I asked.

"Micheal proposed to her this night."  Ola blurted out.

"Ola!" I  exclaimed surprised. Why was she telling them.

I flashed a quick glance to Seyi. his reaction showed nothing.

Maybe he doesn't really care after all.

"What was your reply?." Rasaq asked.

"I didn't have time to reply. Something happened to his car. Probably got attacked my thugs" I said.

"Then you have to see this video." Mr Solape, Ola co-worker said.

"Okay."

The laptop was passed to me and I watched the video.

Michael had spoken to a security man. Minutes after Ola had gone, he went to her Office -

The laptop was snatched from me

"That's enough." Seyi said.

I was shell shocked.

Had Michael been the one to release the video?!.

"Osas?." Ola voice entered my head.

I glanced at her afraid to speak. I nodded.

"It can't possibly be Micheal. He can't do something to you. Something to me !"

I surveyed the room." Tell me this is a joke. You all are just playing with me!" I cried out.

"Osas.. calm -"

I slapped Ola's hand away from me and stood up.

"I can't believe you. I can't believe all of you. Why...why would Michael do this. It...it ..do..es-" and I broke down in tears.

I couldn't deny what I had just seen.

A hand wrapped around me and sat me down.

I recognised the arm very well. It was the same arm in the hospital.

Afraid to look at his face i buried my face in his chest and let the tears flow. I could feel his fingers stroke my hair.

Why would he do this!. Why would he betray us like this.

And he was planning to marry me !

I felt temper stirring inside me. How dare he.

Rasaq p.o.v

I watched as Osas stayed fixed on Seyi's arm after she had cried.

I was afraid this video would cause more havoc but thanks for Seyi all was prevented but something was still up.

There was this look that Seyi had when she had entered the house. The same look when she came downstairs and the same look when she watched the video.

This man was clearly in love with Osas and this was all proved as he held her in his arm... Protectively.

His arm encircled around her as if he was protecting her from unknown danger.

I had also noticed, even thought he tried to hide it. The expression he had when Ola had announced that Michael had proposed.

He was curious to know the answer and there was this fear.

And another thing I had noticed was Osas was also in love with him. the way she had reacted on seeing him. The way their eyes held as she came down and the way she felt comfortable in his arms. A sense of protection. But still... Seyi was engaged to another woman. I can't let her get hurt again.

And Michel !!. How dare he frames my fiance. I was also shocked to see the video. Such betrayal and yet he still had the gut to propose to Osas.

There are some things that still need clearing. Like how he framed Mr Solape. How the video got released since he was with Osas and especially.

Who was he working with.
