Curiosity drove Mabel to peep at the result in Danica's hand. Her eyes widened like a disc. "Wonders. Thank God!" She exclaimed, throwing her arms around Danica, who rather seemed to be in deep thought."What's the matter, Danica? You should be excited right? Why are you sad?" A wrinkle propped her features, as she gently broke from the hug. Danica sighed silently, "I'm not sad, Mabel. I'm just speechless," she chuckled."Why won't you be speechless? Your test result is positive. You should call master and share the good news," Mabel encouraged her.Danica let out a wry smile. No one would be able to understand her so she said, "don't worry, Mabel. I will send him a text message. He might just be too busy with work." Silently, she feared she might not get Loney's attention anymore. Besides, what other excuse would she have to get intimate with him? She felt stupid at her thoughts but couldn't control them. Seeing how the middle-aged woman stared at her like an alien, she climbed the s

A fog of shock dumbfounded Loney as he watched the two sisters mention each other's names. His head felt light, confirming Danica was a twin to Daniella. He went numb, little veins in his brain processing a bit of information. Both sisters seemed like strangers to him. They were still standing at the doorway, blocking the way for other customers. Daniella hadn't noticed Loney, as she gazed at her sister. Instincts of admiration and pain flunking her. Danica seemed not only to survive but also flourish wherever she found herself. Realization hit Danica, her mind clearing from shock. She pulled her sister from the entrance, "We are blocking the way," she muttered, stopping a few meters away from the entrance. Her heart sank at how quiet Loney was when he followed them. His expression was unreadable but he looked sapped. A deadly glare narrowed from him, clad in a coffee brown suit but Daniella's mood lightened up at his features. She found him attractive and with a mere look at him, s

Jones sat back on the sofa, ran his hands through his messed up black hair and said, "I too had a life before meeting Christ. I wasn't always like this." Herty's eyes popped in curiosity like a ball, "Ray is my uncle. My late father's older brother. He manipulated my father to carry drugs for him and when my father wanted out because of me, he set him up," Jones said. There was a long pause. Herty was bewildered. This wasn't what she expected but it was also a great revelation. "My father wanted a better life for me so he told Ray he couldn't work for him anymore but before he let him out, he made him carry one last confinement. It was a setup and my innocent father fell for it. Ray threatened to either kill him or I would replace him. I agreed to replace my father because he already had underlying health conditions. I was only twelve but my father died a few months later and Ray would not let me go. I served him for nine more years. He made me do things that I regret everyday." "He

Daniella's heart did some dancing at the sound of Loney's voice or perhaps, butterflies were romping in her stomach. Her lips curled into a smile, as she tucked a strand of her behind her ears and followed Loney. Paul's gaze held Mabel's, his fist tightening around his glass, it almost broke, before both of them pinned their gazes on Danica. She was fighting to hold back her tears. "Hey, relax okay? From what he told me, Daniella was the first girl he fell in love with but she didn't want him. It was a long time ago okay?" Paul forced a smile and was impelled to let go of his hard feelings at the moment. He wanted Danica to feel better but she only got worse. If Loney loved Daniella, then he would never love her. She pushed her plate away and stood on her feet. Turning around, she ran up the stairs. "You made matters worse Paul, why couldn't you keep your mouth shut?" Mabel chastised. If she had known that getting Loney home would be in Daniella's favour, she would have found her w

Daniella sleeked in restlessness. She calculatedly sat in the living room pretending to watch tv while she waited for her sister to come out of Loney's room. The longer her sister spent, the greater her agitation. She wasn't ready to give up. Loney might be upset with her because of what happened in the past but she can make things right. She can make him love her. Her body fought to shut down but she kept her eyes wide awake, not giving in to the demands of her body. Advertently, her prayers were answered when the door pushed open, expedited by the intense anticipation that covered her features. Loney stepped out but let alone, her sister was still inside. She saw Loney pass her without sparing her a glance. It was as if she didn't exist. She waited eagerly, her eyes glued to the door. Her sister must come out any moment. Seconds passed to minutes, as she continued to wait. Thirty minutes later, she got tired of waiting and strode to the door. She held the knob gently and before she
