Shalewa became so afraid in the bedroom. Sammy summoned courage and came out after putting on his clothes. “Let me pass” he said and hit David’s hand with his left leg so he would be able to move out, David stood up and them.
Sammy gave David the beating of his
life. If not for the intervention of his
wife, Shalewa, he might have beaten him
to death. Shalewa packed her things
immediately and left the house, they
turned him into an empty barrel.

Dan was at the entrance to their place.
Gloria came out to open the gate for him,
smiling. “Happy new year son.” She
wished and hugged him.
‘Same here mum, happy new year. You
are just getting more beautiful. You’ve
never come to greet me in the palace and
even greet the King, its not good oh.’ He
uttered cleaning his feet and walked into
the house.
“..eeeeh.. Bibi, how are you!” He quickly
shouted and ran to her.
‘I’m good bro, happy new year.’ She
smiled.
“Abi na, we thank God. Its a really new
year.” He smiled.
‘I should come to the palace? For what?’
Gloria asked as she walked inside looking
so beautiful.
“Yes now. Since the King assisted us,
you’ve never come to greet him and I’m
not even sure if you’ve seen the Queen
before.” He replied.
Gloria smiled and turned into laughter.
She kept on laughing and staring at
Daniel. ‘You won’t know, don’t tell the
Queen about me sha.’ She added.
“Hmmn? Okay don’t worry. I’ll do as you
want, stand by your will.” He smiled and
laid on the sofa.
‘That’s means all Darasimi told me is
true. This Queen can harm Darasimi too,
even me myself. I must not reveal
anything about my mother to her not
even a bit.’ He thought.
He slept off on the chair he laid on, he
phone was personalized to silent when he
was tired of his whatsapp messages, he
forgot to return it back to normal. The
King had called him severally but he
wasn’t picking up. The Queen came out
and thought it would be an opportunity
to implicate Darasimi more where the
King is. She started her lies.

Tony was in his car all alone, off to get
some provisions that evening, he was on
a fast speed because there were some
places he still wanted to touch. He got
there and started picking what he’d love
to get, he was listening to the sales girls
as they were playing. He was smiling,
suddenly he heard. “Damilola, don’t take
that groundnut, it won’t be funny oh!”
He turned and peeped at them.
“DAMILOLA?” He asked again. He picked
all he could and got back into his car,
still thinking. He remembered the issue of
perfume he smelt and Damilola he just
heard flashed back into his memory. He
continued thinking but still didn’t hit
anything, he drove home and noted that
name.
He got home and was somehow sad, he
dropped his car key and sat in the sitting
room. His two children rushed down to
come and greet him, his wife was still
heavily pregnant then. She came down to
smiling, to welcome her husband.
“Dad, what’s wrong with you?” The
daughters were asking.
His wife came down, looking very
beautiful with the Ghana weaving hair on
her. She was smiling only to discover
that her husband wasn’t happy. “Haha. ”
She exclaimed and walked properly
beside him. “What’s the matter?” She
asked with concern written all over her.
‘I’m okay. Just trying to remember
something.’ He replied.
“Remember? About that issue?” She
asked.
‘Yes.’ He replied and smiled at her. He
cuddled his daughters “don’t worry dad is
fine. Go to your rooms and rest.” He
smiled to them.
The girls left for their various rooms
while Tomilayo was still with him, also
thinking.
“I heard a name today.. Damilola. I’ve
been trying to remember what the name
is all about but can’t at all.” He said.
‘Okay, let’s start like this. She was your
sister, fianceé, cousin, nephew, niece,
mother or what?’ She emphasized.
“I don’t know.” He replied.

The students resumed back to their
various schools. The princess and her
friends were after bringing Darasimi
down. They called the guys that will
execute the work for them. They
concluded that they will carry out their
operation on friday night.
They concluded on money and
everything, those guys were exactly the
same guys that kidnapped Tony. They
still exist and still work together hire
killing people for money.
“She’s gonna regret this!” The princess
smiled and crossed her legs.
