aniel and Darasimi talked for long before they departed. Daniel got to the palace looking tired, Ruth predicted he was coming from Darasimi’s place. She kept quiet and was in the living room watching
cartoons. The Queen had already planted a guard that has been monitoring Daniel’s movements so she could know if Darasimi and Daniel was still meeting.
The guard returned some minutes after
Daniel returned back to the palace, he
waited for the Queen to return so that he
would her how everything went that day.
Daniel was already in his room, he took a
cold shower then remembered the
passport he was given by the King. He
searched his clothes but didn’t find the
passport, he wondered where it could be.
He slept off after searching for it without
finding it. He had a dream of himself on
the throne with Darasimi as the Queen.
He was commanding thousands of
people on the throne of that Kingdom.
He woke up sweating profusely and
smiled, “this is not possible.” He uttered
as he stood up and walked to the living
room where he saw that the Queen was
already back from her outing.
The guard had downloaded everything he
saw to the Queen before Daniel woke up.
The Queen pretended as if she didn’t
know anything and smiled at Daniel.
“This girl deserves death.” She uttered
smiling, after the departure of Daniel
from her sight.
She was so desperate about getting
whatever she wanted for her daughter.
She started thinking on how she would
eliminate her.
…
Olufunke was in the room, still thinking
of how the passport got into the house.
She clicked that it might be Daniel that
mistakenly dropped it when he came. She
rushed out to ask Darasimi that was in
the living room if Daniel had asked her
about the passport.
“Dara!” She shouted as she left the room.
Darsimi turned backward and stared at
her. ‘Yes mum, can I help you?’ She
smiled.
‘It seems you look happier than before
now?’ She teased.
“Thank you mum.” She replied still
smiling.
‘Has Daniel asked you about whether the
passport we saw is here?’ She inquired.
“No mum.” She replied.
‘The passport is for him. Just tell him to
see me to collect it when next you talk.’
She replied.
“No need mum, just give me and I’ll give
him personally.” She urged.
‘No need, just tell him to see me. I’ll give
him.’ She insisted.
ALRIGHT. She replied.
Daniel got to Funke’s place after
Darasimi’s call. He was offered seat and
served a bottle of Maltina. Darasimi sat
down in the living room, she was pleased
she would at least tap from their
discussions when they start. Olufunke
got out of the bedroom and called Daniel
outside.
Darasimi was annoyed. “What’s the
meaning of this, she doesn’t want me to
know about their discussion? Anyhow, I’ll
ask Dan, he’ll tell me.” She hissed
angrily.
Daniel still didn’t know the motive behind
the call Darasimi called him. They walked
behind the house where there was a
small farm. “This passport, is it yours?”
She asked as she stretched it to him.
Daniel collected it and checked it. He
was surprised. “Y..yes.” He replied
staring at her surprisingly.
Olufunke smiled at him. ‘You must be
very surprised dear.’ She concluded.
“More than surprised ma, em.. How did
you know it belongs to me?” He asked
again.
‘Wait, who’s that man in the picture?’ She
asked.
Daniel looked at her, thinking why she
wanted to know. “The King told me he’s
Tony, his best friend who died of
asthmatic attack.” He replied.
‘He’s dead?’ Funke asked surprisingly.
‘Yeah, do you by any chance know him
ma?’ He asked politely.
‘Erh.. No. Just concerned about him.’ She
replied.
‘Urgh.. So how did you now know that I’ll
be the owner?’ He asked.
Funke sighed. “I know that I don’t have
visitors, you’ll be my first visitor this
week.” She replied.
“What a perfect liar.” Daniel thought.
‘Urgh, okay me.’ He smiled.
