"Alright. Bye Angela." He said.

"Bye." Lola also said and they walked out of the hall together leaving the stupefied Angela.

             They sat in the car quietly as the cold air from the car AC blew on their skin. Demilade was unusually quiet. He didn't say anything to her or the bodyguards. He wasn't even pressing his phone. He was looking out of the window with his hand clenched on his thigh.

            She still remembers how tense he was when she came to stand beside him circling his waist with her hand. And the look he had on his face when he was staring at the lady that was his ex.

           Even if he pretends and play along, he wasn't so happy about it. She knew the money she takes from him doesn't mean much to what he had or what he had bought for her for instance. But he was hurt because of the betrayal. He might be so tough looking and very nonchalant about things but deep down in him, he knows how to care.

            No one told her about his past relationship but she knew something from today that he had been hurt in the past in his relationship which harden his heart against love.     

            He had not planned on seeing his ex after four years when she extorted money from him and left him. He tried to contact her after then but she blocked his number and never showed up at the club and his house.

           She was the first woman he ever take to his home. He trusted her and he loved her. She turned him on as no other woman does. She was not Charles and Bayo's favourite person but they accepted her because they knew how much he loved her. He can still remember the 'I told you' look on Charles's face when they realized she had duped him and left him.

           It was so hard loving after then. He gave her what he couldn't give to Yimika and he respected her for who she was. She can be so harsh sometimes but she always pleased him.

            But it's been four years now. He was no longer the Demilade that had been so in love and was soft. He had moved on from her. There was no going back. He had learned that she is now dating married men. She had grown worst from how she was in the past.

           She had become a commercial goods. Living fake life.

          His taste in women is better than that. She was a history that is best forgotten.

            Lola finished making dinner for herself and Demilade. She waited for him to come down to eat. And while waiting, she made a phone call to her friend Ibukun and then she called her brother.

"... So you are saying you have a new phone now that is bought by Mr Demilade?" Daniel asked on the phone not believing his ears.

"Yes. It's a Samsung phone. Samsung S20." She told him.

"Do you think he likes you and he is just trying to buy your love?" He asked.

"Demilade doesn't like me. Although he is extra nice for some days now but nothing is going on. He is not just stingy. That is what I learned about him. He doesn't have many responsibilities so you can't blame him." She said.

"I really do not know what to say. Have you told dad?" He asked.

"Not until we see each other. I can't tell him on the phone. You know how he reacts to charity."

"You are right." He agreed. "Just be careful Sis. And take care of yourself."

"I will and you too. Take good care of the twins and make sure they take their baths before going to bed. Tife can be very lazy."
