Tamilore's POV
The number you're trying to dial is currently switched off. Please try again later thank you
I hung up and dropped my phone on the bed
I am getting really frustrated at this point.
My Mum hasn't been picking my calls.
No one has been able to reach her.
Except Isabella.
Isabella
That it's.
I'll meet her for help.
I ran to her room and knocked softly at her door
"Come in" she answered faintly.
"Hi Bella" I greeted after I had entered the room.
"What's up"
"Good. I'm good. Soooo...I really need a favour" I started
"Which is?"
"I can't get through Mum. She hasn't been picking my calls and I just dialed her number and it's switched off. I'm really worried" I rambled
I am not overthinking right?
"Tamilore I understand your fear. But Mum told me she just wants to be alone" Bella sympathize
"Oh...But we are her kids" I said playing with my foot
"It's her decision. Let's respect it"
I let out a sigh and nodded my head.
"Come. Let's have some girl time" She smiled
"Okayyy. But let's go out instead"
She let out a laugh
"Fine. I like the way you think. Pick the place I'll just freshen up" Bella said
I nodded and left the room.
I was in an ash coloured joggers, baggy blue top and white canvas.
I look undisturbed
I love it.
I picked up a blue stylish purse and left my room.
As I passed by Temi's room a thought crossed my mind.
I'll invite Temilade to come with us
I stood in front of her door and was about to knock but I was stopped.
"I already told you Fara, I'm really tired"
Silence
"I can't go anywhere today. My body hurts"
Silence
"Okay. Thanks for understanding. Bye love"
I dropped my hanging hand in disappointment and went downstairs to wait for Bella.
"Are you ready?" She asked jingling her car keys
I nodded and we left.
Jason's POV
"Here you go" I said handing over a cup of juice to Leonard
"Thanks"
"Are you sure you don't want anything?" I asked Chuks again
"I'm fine bro. Why are you always formal anytime we're at your house?" Chuks answered
"Maybe cause this house is my nightmare" I chuckled
"Let us help y...." Leo offered but I interrupted him
"I can sort it out. Don't worry"
"She's going to kill you one day if you don't act fast guy" Chuks whispered
"I'll try my best not to die. At least not in her hands," I gritted my teeth as I talked
Clicking of heels were heard and that gave us a signal that the witch was home
"Oh my, Jason you have guests." Her screeching voice said
"Yes"
"That's good. It's nice to meet you. I'm Foluke" She said stretching her hand to them
"Same here. I'm Leo" He shook her hand
"I'm Matthew" Chuks said, shaking her hand.
"Okay then. It was a pleasure meeting you but I'm exhausted and have to rest. See you some other time" She concluded and left.
"Dude why did you lie" I asked immediately she was out of sight
"About what?"
"Stop acting oblivious. Why did you lie about your name" I scolded
"I just didn't feel like telling her. She gives me the creeps" Chuks said.
I pinched the bridge of my nose and let out a breath.
But Chuks wasn't wrong though.
She really gives the creeps
Foluke Bliss
Daughter of the famous furniture business owner in the country and abroad.
The first divorcee in the history of her family.
Cocky and greedy.
She's been in jail 10 years ago while in her 30's .
Charged with the crime of illegal business and transactions, fraud and forgery legal documents.
She also lost custody of her daughter who is about my age.
She's my mother's sister but Aunt Foluke is considered the black sheep of the family.
Yes she's my aunt.
And even after all she has done, my Mum still believes she has changed.
That why I'm living with her right now while my entire family are in another country.
I've tried all I could to leave her house but it's all fruitless.
I even told my Mum of what Foluke does to me but instead of my Mum showing concern, she slapped me and sided with my aunt.
The rapist.
My Dad believed me but gave me an ultimatum to get evidence against her.
I've tried all I could;
I installed cameras, voice recorded, got witnesses and everything but anytime I was ready to show it to my Dad so we could throw her in jail, everything always seems to backfire.
My Dad realized this too.
He believed my bruises were not from fight nor falls.
But my Mum is still siding with my aunt. She believes the lies my aunt says over the truth that her son and husband tells her.
My Dad got really mad with my Mum and brought me home with him but my Mum started a fight with my Dad and threatened to divorce him.
Pathetic right?
Right now, my Dad and I are planning something big and it's going to destroy Foluke Bliss forever.
Bella's POV
I paid the bills and walked out of the restaurant to meet Tamilore.
We were currently at the mall. Tamilore was waiting for me at a shopping store while I went to get food for us.
I sighted her and began to approach her when a white lady tapped Tamilore and handed her a phone. She lingered for a moment.
As I got nearer, the lady spun around to take her leave. Her face came in view and that was when my heart stopped.
Krisha.
What the hell is she doing in Nigeria?!
Unknown POV
I sighed in relief as smoke left both my nose and mouth simultaneously.
"Maddy Maddy. What have you been doing Maddy? Tamilore and David seems to be getting closer." I said coldly
"It's not my fault. I've been busy"
My silence gave her the option to continue
"Dad is back" she said
How is that my business?
"So what does that has to do with my plan" I yelled.
"I'm scared of him. It's hard to concentrate whenever I remember he's in the house, smiling like he hasn't just killed someone" Her voice broke
"That's your problem to take care of. Now back to my plan. I need to find a way to get Tamilore out of David's life so that I can come in" I rubbed my temples.
"Aren't you tired of all these scheming. You haven't even talked to David once in your life"
"Shut up. I have!" I yelled
"When?" She smirked
"I did... In class" I gave out a satisfied smile
"Look. He talks to dozens of girls everyday. Just a reply to a simple greeting doesn't change anything. He loves Tamilore and that's the bittersweet truth that you have to accept" she said boldly
Bitter sweet truth?
That's stupid.
"David loves me."
"Are you sure? Because last time I checked he might be planning on asking Tamilore out" Madison said triumphantly
"No way! I'm going to stop it. Just you watch"
"And how? If you're thinking of hurting Tamilore it's going to be a loss on your side"
"Don't you think I know that?! It's going to make him care for her more but I have a bigger plan to get David on my side
"Last time we made it seem like David broke Tamilore's heart. This time around it will be vice versa" I chuckled
"There's no way Tamilore would do something to hurt David"
"I'm not dumb. I know that so stop pointing out the obvious. We are going to let history repeat it's self." I concluded
I smiled.
David will come back to me. It's just a matter of time.
I exhaled another smoke.
Madison's POV
History repeat it's self?
This girl is crazy for sure!
Flashback
"Are you ready?" Mk asked
"But I don't want to do this. Tamilore is my best friend." I cried.
"We're past this topic so I won't repeat myself."
I cried more
"Jeffrey will be here soon. So prepare your self"
Jeffrey walked in. He was with David's sweater which we had told him to borrow.
His haircut was the same as David and so was his complexion.
"Quick. Get in place. She's coming" Mk squealed.
I leaned on the wall as Jeffrey came closer to me. He made sure his face wasn't in view. He grabbed my face and kissed me senselessly.
I didn't enjoy it. Not one bit. It was with force and aggression.
I felt disgusted for doing this. I'm letting a random boy steal my first kiss in grade 7 just so I could please one of David's admirers.
Such a disgrace.
Tamilore walked in. She widen her eyes in surprise.
She has seen David's jacket and my face.
She got the message.
She was disappointed.
It broke me.
She left silently with her head down. She was going to cry.
Mk jumped up and began laughing with joy
"Wow. So it was that easy?!" She exclaimed with glee.
"Anyways. The job is done. Here's your money Jeffrey" she handed him an envelope
So my first kiss was a paid kiss.
"Now the stupid Tamilore would not wait for an explanation. She'll stay far away from David. She's so naive. Well David is all mine now. And anyone who tries to take him with have to go through me first" She smirked
"By the way. You still have to pretend to like David in order to keep Tamilore's paws from my man. Byeee" she skipped out happily, leaving me alone.
I collapsed on the floor.
I was doomed and I knew it.
I had told MK about how Tamilore easily jumps into conclusion and somehow she came up with this sick plan.
I went back to class and tried to behave normal.
That day I lost not only Tamilore but I lost Fiyin also.
My two best friends gone in one day before my very eyes. I never thought I'll see this day.
End of flashback
The most annoying thing of all is how MK didn't even make any move to approach David and confess her feelings.
After five years of misunderstanding between those two, they are back together as friends but that psycho isn't comfortable with it.
I don't understand why she's doing all these for a guy
It's just a guy!!
She wants to repeat history again and she wants me to help her.
I will but at the same time I'll try to find a plan to stop her.
I have to stop all of these before anyone lands in the hospital.
Well except MK that girl needs to be transferred to Yaba Left urgently.
My only hope is that David doesn't make the same mistake that Tamilore did.
He must ask her for an explanation, I'll make sure of it.
