"I... I am enga...ged to... to be mar...ried soon", Fola stammered.
Ire's grin disappeared and he uttered. "What?"
"Yeah", she replied.
"Wao! That's good news."
"Is it?"
"What is the problem?" Ire peered at her closely before asking "You don't love the man you are engaged to right?"
"Why would you say that?", she questioned. "Whether I do love him or not doesn't matter, the fact is that I am getting married."
"Of course it does matter who you love, and whether you love him or not. It is obvious you don't love that man", he replied but was met with silence.
Ire continued. "We are in the 21st century for crying out loud, why can't you marry the man you love?"
"Because I don't love anyone but myself", she retorted.
"And that is because you have no idea what love is and true love hasn't found you yet", he blurted.
Trying to change the topic, Fola said, "I told them I want the wedding to be next year so I can have time to......"
"Elope?", he interrupted.
Fola gave a short laugh and replied. "Elope to where? I can't run away from my father and not from Mr. Garba. My mum doesn't seem to like the idea but she wants me to respect my father's decision."
"Why are they doing this to you?"
Fola sighed softly. "Long story I guess."
"So what do you intend to do now?", he asked her.
She shrugged and replied. "I will just let fate take its course. I have no power whatsoever over myself or my life."
"Can't you just go against your parent's wishes? I am totally against a loveless marriage. Tell your parents that you don't love him and you are not yet ready for marriage."
Fola smiled and remained silent for a while. "What difference does that make? You said earlier that I don't know what love is, so how sure are we that I don't love him" She uttered with humour.
"Do you know if he loves you?"
Fola scoffed and blurted out of frustration. "Do I look like someone who cares about what he feels?"
Ire sighed and said. "I thought matchmaking is a thing of the past. Now I know better."
"It is not matchmaking."
He looked up sharply and out of curiosity, he questioned. "Then what is it?"
"Betrothal", she answered looking down.
"What the hell!!!"
"Yes, I, Folakemi Obed is betrothed to Olamide Garba."

"He is not yours!" She affirms with a confident and unwavering look. "Whose child is he then?" I question, my eyes wandering to the boy with piercing blue eyes like mine. Celine narrows her eyes with her hands clenched, "He is mine." "What about his father? Who is he?" I drop my hand lazily and watched her intensely. "That is none of your business." She said defensively. "Then it means he is mine then and I am taking him," I conclude with a smile and walk past her to pick up the child who is already dozing off. "No, no, no!" Celine chants.

"Miss Brown, I am the butler here at your service," the butler replied. "My master wants to buy the baby in your belly." "What?!" Does that mean the abortion didn't take place? Did they kidnap her from the operating table just to buy the baby? But why her? "You..."

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
