That evening after leaving Asher’s hotel room with her fire quenched, she called Emma and asked for Henry’s whereabouts. She was told that Henry was at his house, so she went there. At Henry’s house… Anamika drove into a white villa situated at the quiet end of a street. She got out of her car and knocked at the door a couple of times. Henry opened the door for her to get in. When they entered the beautiful sitting room that wasn’t lacking in superior furniture and decor, Henry offered her refreshments and went into his room, leaving her to sit alone. Anamika couldn’t sit still after five minutes and traced his steps to where he was. Entering the bedroom, she met him arranging his luggage. She wasn’t expecting it, so she asked. “Are you going back?” “Hm,” he replied without looking at her. Anamika sat on the edge of his bed, watching him as he folded his clothes one after the other and placed them inside his luggage. After a long and awkward silence between the two, the guy f
“He didn’t!” She snapped and threw his hands off. The both of them were stunned by her outburst. It was rare for Anamika to be so angry. “I– I’m so– I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to do that.” She tried to touch him, but he stepped away and shook his head. “It’s good. You are even lying for him.” “No, he truly didn’t do it. He already explained it. It was a misunderstanding from my path.” “And you believed him?! Hah, I can’t believe this!” he took a few calming breaths while counting numbers in his mind. He didn’t want to hurt her. She’s the only woman he had ever loved. But how could she hurt him so much?! “Do you know how I knew that you two had sex?” Anamika raised her gaze to look at him. “He told me so.” “Huh?” “Yes, he sent me a message, telling me to stay away from his woman. He said he had claimed you and you are now his.” He looked at her, expecting her to be angry, but she wasn’t. Rather, she looked confused and undeciding. “Anamika! A good man wouldn’t tell others t
Anamika nodded. “And…” Emma urged her to continue. “And… So Something happened between us. I promise, I–“ “What something? Be clear with me, Mika.” “Five years ago happened.” She said sheepishly. “You mean he r*ped you?” “No!” She hurriedly intervened. “We… it was kinda consensual.” Emma gasped. “You two had sex?!” Anamika nodded. “And my brother found out?” She slowly nodded again. “You meanie! How could you do that to him?!” Emma yelled. “I know right?” Anamika sighed and placed her head on Emma’s lap. “Sure, you do!” Emma pushed her head off her lap but Anamika placed her head back on it. “I was stupid,” she confessed. “Yes, you are!” Emma rolled her eyes. “I shouldn’t have hurt him so.” “Of course, you shouldn’t have!” “And he’s such a nice person.” “A perfect gentleman!” Emma echoed. “Handsome,” Anamika added. “And hot… without his shirt on.” Emma knew her overly serious brother who wears glasses most of the time won’t appear hot to most ladies. But without h
Asher was seen with Anamika in a private room, dining and discussing. “... So, what do you suggest?” Asher curled his lips into a teasing smile while cutting his steaks. “I suggest we do what they want, at least, make it look like we are dating when they are around.” “And after that?” He raised a brow, then bit his lip seductively and accompanied it with a sexy smile. He did everything like it was natural and wasn’t deliberate. “After that, we–“ Anamika stared dazely at him for a long time. The seductive smile on his face made her mind flash back to what they did some days ago. Asher didn’t stop doing things to turn Anamika on. With the sexy way he was eating the steaks and licking his fork and lips, Anamika assumed him doing something dirty to her. Her inner thigh tingled with lust. Immediately, she snapped out of her fantasy and picked up the glass of wine and hurriedly downed it at once. This man is trouble, she’d better stop seeing him after the matter with the kids is hand
“No, what’s not clear is you telling me to my face that you love someone else after ruining my life!” His tone raised above normal. "Do you know what I've been through all these years?!" He closed the distance, a foot away from her. Anamika was shocked by his shamelessness. The nerve of this man to vomit such blasphemy in her face! “You said I destroyed your life? Huh? Was it you who carried those two in your womb for nine months?! Was it you who had to suffer the burden of taking care of unique kids for four years?! Was it you who had to make sure the kids are well protected against enemies for those years?! Do you know how it feels to endure sleepless nights because the kids are sick?! Do you know the pain I go through when I see them staying at home instead of being in school?! I had to find them teachers to home school them! Do you– hmm… “ Muffled groans escaped her throat when he sealed her lips with his. He could see she was very upset and might start crying anytime soon. Ana
“Mom, have you seen Daddy today?”“Mom, why is dad not here yet?”Anamika was going crazy with her kids' troublesome behavior lately. These days, she goes home late from work and leaves home as early as she can, just to avoid them until she is able to sort things out. After all, Emma just quit her job and had been at home with the kids.As usual, she left her home as early as 5:30 AM. But, unlike before, her car was blocked by another vehicle and masked men, five or so of them, rushed to Anamika’s car and ordered her to get down.“Get down!” Nairaland had been a peaceful city, unlike Rivers City, where gang fights occur now and then. Because thieves and whatnot don’t randomly harass people, Anamika let her guard down and stopped going around with tons of bodyguards.She stepped out like her driver did with her hands raised. Fighting or arguing with ruffians like these is certainly not a good move for a mother of two. “You! Move! Get into that car!” One of them slapped Anamika on he
He called his sister and asked, “Where is her children’s father? Shouldn't he be with her?”“I don’t know, he’s not available– brother, what are you insinuating?”“I’m not a cop. He’s in the best position to look for her. My exam starts in less than two minutes.” “Brother? What are you– hello? Hello?!... Damn it!!” She yelled and slammed her phone on the sofa. This is frustrating!Meanwhile, on the stairs, Nadia was coming down when she heard Emma talking on the phone and saying their mother was missing. The child turned around and went back into their room.Getting in, she went straight to her laptop, opened it and entered a website that her father created for emergency messages. [ Dad, mum has been kidnapped. It’s been five hours. ]She waited for a reply for minutes, then hours without getting a response. Staring at the message that hadn’t been seen after almost two hours, the child burst into tears. Aiden had been sleeping but was woken by his sister’s sobs. “What happened to
Anamika threw up the other half of the ear she had bitten and struggled to get up to support herself with the wall. Her lips dripped blood as she stood there, panting. Her chest heaving with fear and uncertainty, afraid of what this beast might do to her after he had come to terms with his new looks. At that moment when he was still screaming like a child throwing a tantrum, Anamika ran to the door and started banging it while looking behind her most of the time. "Help me!!... Open the door!!!" After about two minutes of her banging and calling for help that never came, the man finally had her time. He dashed towards the door but Anamika didn't wait for him to catch her. With her heels thrown off, they ran around the empty room. The hide-and-seek game must have snapped his patience as he threw himself into the air and landed squarely in front of her. He grabbed her by the neck and slammed her against the wall, then punched her in the stomach. "Argh!"Anamika moaned in pain and be
