hasnt asked after her boyfriend who have
been through hell since she disappeared,
….. “I just hope this silly have not opened her
legs for one useless boy to impregnate

family,…. “she thought to herself
The two old women took Angela’s mother
into the room and explained her daughter’s condition to her,….
She understood all that she was told,….
She was happy and sad at the same
time,she remembered her daughter was
on her way to visit Richard before her

wrong somewhere ….but her problem
right now is the pregnancy,……
“What about her pregnancy? “she asked
in a fainting voice
” Since she cant remember who impregnated her,… My friend and i have
agreed to cater for her and her unborn
baby”mama told her
“My God will bless you,……. You shall
reap the fruit of your labour” Angela’s
mother prayed for them ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^
“pls ma, can you explain to me what
you’re doing with Richard’s phone?,…….
How in the name of God did it get to you,
…..” Desmond asked mrs Johnson who was ready for his question,….
“what makes you believe this phone
belongs to Richard,..or do you go about
accusing people of theft,…. “”
“With all due respect ma,….. I didn’t call
you a thief, i only asked a question,….. ” ” Detective Desmond,…… This is how
you go about poke nosing into other
people’s matter,….this phone does not
belong to Richard, and pls i was on my
way out before you came in”,……
“I dont know your intention of stealing that phone from Richard,…… But what i
dont understand is how you managed to
steal it,…. But whatever evil you’re
planning will backfire … Your end is near,
…… ”
She looked at him scornfully,….. ” You better dont insult me,….. “she didnt
complete her sentence when her phone
rang,…..
” Hello,….yes manager,…… What is
it?!!!!!! She screamed at her hotel
manager The manager spoke for some seconds
and she was listening with all keenness,
then she screamed out
“What!!!!!!, In my hotel??????, It cant be,
….. I’m on my way right now?,… “she
dropped the call and was shivering,……. She hurriedly gave the phone technician
some money and zoomed off in her car,
……
” Wicked woman,… Only God knows what
happened to her hotel,….. I must inform
Richard of the new development, this woman is up to something,…”he thought
to himself …
He dialled Richard’s number but he didn’t
pick,…..
“Maybe he’s busy with Angela, i know he
cant get enough of her,…. He has really missed her, “he assumed
Nancy came down from the cab and went
to meet her fiance,…..
” Baby, Why are you smiling to yourself,

” hmmmmm, but you werent gazing at
me, you didnt even know when i hugged
you,…… ”
” You’re funny,…. Pls let’s get going it’s
getting late,…… Richard must be worried ”
He collected his mom’s phone and they
drove off to Ogwashiukwu
On their way, there was little traffic jam,
….. He heard some drivers talking about
a young man that survived a head on collision,…… He didnt pay attention to
them,….
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^
“Mama pls dont leave me yet,… I want
you to spend some days with my family, …. I will miss you so much,……..” Angela
begged mama and her friend who were
about leaving
“Dont worry my daughter, we’ll always
visit you,…. We plan lodging in a hotel in
Asaba, then we travle back to Lagos tomorrow morning,…… “mama told her
” Mama pls,…. Since you said my house
is not big enough to accommodate you
and your friend, we have good hotels
here in my village,…. I’ll take you there,..
Then you spend some days with me,…… ”
The two old women looked at each other,
…. They went to a corner
” So what do you think about what
Angela just said “mama asked her friend
“let’s just spend three more days with her,….. We can Lodge in a good hotel
here, we can be visiting her from there
everyday till we leave,….. I want to spend
some time with her too,..” her friend told
her
They agreed to spend some days in her village,… Angela was so happy,…..
Desmond and Nancy walked into the
sitting room,….. On seeing Nancy,…
Angela stared at Nancy trying to
remember her,…. Nancy hugged her but
she didnt respond,… Desmond greeted everyone and they all sat down,…..
Nancy was shocked at Angela ‘s attitude
towards them,…..
“Angel, i missed you so much,…. She
tried engaging her in a conversation,….
Angela looked at her and smiled,….. Aunty Beatrice called Desmond outside
and asked after Richard…..
“he’ s supposed to be here before me,….
I’m surprised he’s not yet here”he
answered
“I need to see him and talk to him, there’s something important he must know,.. ”
” i’llI’ll call him again,…… ”
Nancy was just staring at the strange
new Angela,….. She has added alot of
weight,she was glistening she couldn’t
take her eyes off her ….. She sighted a baby bump,….. She took a closer look at
her and confirmed her suspicion,……
The two old women asked who Nancy
and Desmond are to Angela,…..
Aunty Beatrice took her time to explain to
them who they are…… “this is unbelievable,….. So the caller has
been her boyfriend,…… I would ‘ve
picked his calls,…. So Richard is her
boyfriend, no wonder she had a shock
when i mentioned his name to her,…..
Poor boy,….. “mama said shaking her head in pity
Angela returned to the sitting room and
everywhere was quiet,…. She suspected
they’re hiding something from her,…. She
sat down
” Angela, i’ve arranged your room for you, …. “her mother informed her,….. She
excused herself to meet her mother
Desmond was restless due to Richard’s
absence,…. He continued dialing his
number but he wasn’t picking,…….
His phone rang some minutes later,…. He checked the caller id and heaved a
sigh of relieve,….
“thank God he’s calling me,..”he muttered
to himself,…. He picked it and heard a
strange voice
“Oh my God, which hospital,? ” He cut the phone and anounced their
exit,.. He told them his friend was
involved in an accident,….. Angela’s
mother felt sorry for him on hearing what
happened,… Angela was in her room and
wasn’t aware of what happened,….. They left promising to be back the next day,
……
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^
“Doctor pls, you need to discharge me
right now,.. I need to be somewhere right now,…. I must see her and be assured
that she’s ok,…..” Richard begged the
doctor
“i’m sorry i cant do that, it’s
unprofessional of me,….. Take a look at
yourself, you should be thankful that you only sustained minor injuries,… But that
still doesn’t mean you’re perfect to be
dischargeed,…. We need to wait for your
lab results , to be sure that you dont have
internal bleeding,… Just wait till
tomorrow,…. “the doctor advised him They were still arguing when Desmond
and Nancy rushed into his private room,
….
” God,…. What happened,..i was shocked
you were yet to arrive Angela’s house till i
received the call..? “Desmond asked him He didnt respond, his gaze was at the
door as if he was expecting someone
else,……
” how’s my Angel?,….. “he asked still
looking at the door
” She’s fine,…. “Desmond managed to answer
” wasnt she informed of my accident,….
Is she with you?,….. I know your plan,….
You want to surprise me,…. “he said
trying to get up from his bed,…..
” I didn’t inform her of your accident,….. “Desmond replied
He relaxed back on his bed
” i understand, you dont want her getting
worried, i know she must be calling my
other line,….. Let me call aunty Beatrice
so that i can talk to Angela and hear her sweet voice,…..So tell me, hope she’s ok,
….? “he asked smiling
Desmond looked at his friend and
realized how much he loves his girlfriend,
his love for her could be seen in his eyes,
… He wondered what he would do when he
realises his girlfriend doesnt remember
him, …….
” aunty Beatrice has gone back to her
house,…… Dont worry i’ll drive you to see
her tomorrow,… Or i’ll bring her to see you,…”
A nurse came in and gave him some
injections,…. He slept off few minutes
later,……. Desmond and Nancy went
home exhausted…….
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^
“Madam we’re sealing this hotel till our
investigations are over,…..” the
policeman told Mrs Johnson
“Officer, you cant just seal my hotel
because you found a lady murdered in one of the rooms,…. It’s unacceptable
“she said angrily
She was pacing up and down calling the
police commissioner
” Madam you can call anybody you want,.
This hotel must be sealed!!!!! ” ” You dont know who you’re messing
with,…. After dealing with you, i must
make sure you loose your job,……. “she
threatened him
” I’ll be happy loosing my job in this fight,
…… You have alot to explain to us,….. “the officer replied
The commissioner refused picking his
calls,…. She could be seen sweating
profusely
She watched the police vacate all the
customers and workers in the hotel,.. Her hotel was sealed up,………. She watched
them drive off
She went home devastated,… Her world
is beginning to crumble,…… She sat
down drinking whisky,…. She
remembered all mother supreme supreme told her,…….
She was determined to find her husband
or better still search for Angela to get her
unborn baby,….. She needs to act fast
because mother supreme supreme’s
revelation has started to manifest,…..
