Chapter 25.
It's so painful how Nigerian youths are being killed, blood everywhere. We came out in peace for justice and a better Nigeria, but they decided to kill us. May God judge all of them and forgive the sins of our dead heroes. Nigeria needs serious prayers from every angle all over the world, please let's pray for our country 🙏🙏😭
Abiola's POV
I rolled on my bed in boredom. Apparently, Konyii and Ayo had gone out, he wanted to make up for not picking up her calls. He had to operate on three different people in a row, so he didn't have time and when he was done, he was exhausted and kept his phone on silent to prevent any call and slept off. The funny part was, Konyii didn't wait for him to explain and just started vexing and telling him to fuck off, he had to 'Kidnap' her before he could explain and then she started feeling bad.
I picked my laptop and decided to watch Netflix, then my phone rang. I checked the caller id and it was Bola, I immediately felt bad that I hadn't called her in so long. I picked it up.
"You!" She said immediately.
"I'm sorry!" I said immediately too.
"Don't you're sorry me, I'm coming over now and you're taking me for shopping not just me but Sandra and my other friend. You will pay for every single item we buy!" She said and I quickly checked my account to make sure I hadn't bought meaningless things and spend all my money.
"Yes ma'am, I would pay." I said and saw I had only £500 left. I groaned and stood up.
"We would be there in less that an hour!" She said and hung up. I rolled my eyes and went to check my mom's room for her credit card. She would just be receiving the alerts. I saw her laying down on her bed, sleeping. I tip toed to her drawer and immediately I opened it she turned to me. She wasn't sleeping.
"What do you want to do there?" She asked looking at me suspiciously.
"I just need your credit card, I have £500 left and Bola is coming." I explained picking the card up.
"Drop it back, call your father to send you money. I have plans for the money in my bank." She hissed and turned around.
"But-"
"Don't but anything there, call your dad. It's not as if he won't send it in less than five minutes." She said still not looking at me. I groaned and walked out of her room, calling my dad in the process.
"My princess, is everything alright? How are you?" He asked immediately he picked.
"I'm fine and everything is alright, just need some cash." I replied.
"OK, I'll tell Chris to send something to you now, don't worry." He said referring to his P.A.
"Alright, thanks dad." I said and he replied before I hung up.
I went back to my room and changed my clothes to something more comfortable. While doing my make up, my phone pinged and I checked it, he had sent the money. He sent £25,000 I smiled and continued my make up. Immediately I was done, I heard Bola's voice and I walked out of my room, bag and phone in hand.
"After months of not seeing me, you didn't call to say hi or come sister, I'm taking you shopping, or I'm taking you for lun-"
"That's enough, lets go." I cut her off and walked past her and her giggling friends. They ran up to me and we walked to the garage together. I looked at the cars and wondered which one I should take. I finally decided on my white BMW, but my dad's Rolls Royce was looking at me.
"Let's use the black Rolls Royce." Bola said as if reading my mind. I dropped my car keys and took the Rolls Royce keys and we drove off.
We got to the mall and Bola dragged me to the Gucci store and I knew I would eventually ask for more money. We walked around with her telling her friends to pick what they wanted and I could only just look at her.
While I waited, they all came back with two purses each. I stood up and went to the counter with them. The lady behind checked them and told me how much. My jaw dropped. £12,000 for all the bags.
"Bola!" I rolled my eyes.
"What, as if you didn't buy a purse worth two times." She said smiling wickedly. The only thing that was on my mind was if Bola and Tope should be taken out together, they would probably put someone into debt.
The lady was looking at us and I finally brought out my credit card. I paid and and she smiled at us. The girls grinned before thanking me and we walked out.
"So, where next?" Bola asked and I glared at her. She laughed.
"I was just joking. But next time huh?!" She asked pouting. I nodded my head and looked forward but saw someone familiar. It was Tope.
"What are you looking at?" Bola asked and I looked at her and looked back at the place I had saw Tope but she was gone. I ran to the direction in hope to find her, but I didn't see anyone there. I'm definitely hallucinating. I rubbed my face carefully to not scatter my makeup.
"Let's go to the food court." I offered and was all walked there. We ate and walked out of the food court after paying.
While walking I saw a bag my mom would like and went to the store. It was a Chanel bag and it was a coffee brown color, one that would fit her skin well. I bought it for her and it wasn't too expensive, just £3,850. I collected the bag and walked out, heading to the car, the girls trailing behind me. I got a call and picked it, it was unknown.
"Hello, you need to be here! Quick, miss Lilly isn't home." The person said and I was shocked.
"What is it?" I asked fumbling with the keys. Motioning for the girls to get into the car quick and also doing the same myself.
"It's your mom." And it seemed the person went close to her and I was hearing her shout. It freaked me out to the core and I hung up and began speeding.
"What is wrong?!" Bola asked concerned. I was too scared to answer so I didn't say anything.
Immediately we got home, I told one of the drivers to take the girls home and rushed inside, but Bola came with me telling her friends to go on.
I saw my dad standing and facing the TV, while my mom was sitting on the chair, crying. I rushed to her.
"Mamma? What's wrong?" I asked hoping my dad wasn't the cause, because they never fight.
"Ask your father!" She snapped, looking at him with disgust. I looked at his tensed back.
"Daddy..." I trialed off.
"You won't tell her she has a step mother outside right?" She said and I looked at her to see if this was a prank. But I was wrong, she still had the look of hatred and tears on her face. I looked at my dad.
"Daddy, we know mummy can be very dramatic and all, but please tell me this is a joke." I said my voice breaking. The only thing that came straight to my mind was the fact my dad wants another child, probably a male and that's why he married another woman.
"You're saying I'm lying right, look at this!" She showed me her phone and I gasped. Sure enough, it was a picture of my dad and his new wife. She is very beautiful though and wouldn't be more than ten years or less older than I am. I kept my gaze on the picture and couldn't tear my eyes off it. I didn't know I was crying until I saw a teardrop on the phone screen.
"So mummy isn't enough or is it because I'm a female and your only child? Is it because you don't have a male child?" I couldn't help but ask my gaze still not leaving the phone screen.
"No baby, it's not like that." He came close to me but I stood up before he could touch me.
"It's exactly like that." I said and left the house. I was fond of running away from problems and not talking them out.
I went to Konyii's house with a cab, because I was in no mood to drive.
"What is wrong?!" Aunty Funmi asked immediately I got into the house. I finally let the sob break out but she rubbed my back. "Shh. Calm down and tell me what's wrong." She said softly. I shook my head and she understood I wasn't in the mood to talk.
"Mummy where's the-" Konyii said coming downstairs, but stopped when she saw me.
"Baby, what's wrong?" She said but I didn't say a word. She led me to her room where I eventually fell asleep with swollen eyes and missed calls.
So.... Who ever saw that coming? To be honest, even I, didn't see that coming. Even with all this, this book won't pass 30-35 chapters. I hope. So make me happy with your comments and votes 🙏❤
The prologue of VIL (Victim In Love)
Prologue
"Please stay away." Ade whispered, really scared as she hugged her purse close to her chest.
"Shh, it won't take time. I promise." The stranger whispered back, smiling. He was clearly wasted, which wasn't helping matters.
"No, It's fine, I'll just walk away and you'll do same." Ade said, she knew she sounded stupid but what could she do?
"No, you're really pretty." The stranger slurred. Ade couldn't deny the fact that he was a cute guy but she had to look past all that and save herself.
She screamed as he grabbed her hands and shut her mouth with his hands. He took advantage of her then and there and she sobbed as she was helpless.
When he was done, he stood up and rubbed his face. As if something had snapped inside him, he staggered backwards and kept apologizing over and over again, but it was too late. The deed has been done.
He tried helping Ade up but she flinched away, he saw how she was struggling to stand up and he quickly went to the roadside and called a cab before leaving the scene.
This is the new book coming up, I know you would love it. I want to finish Abiola before I start updating it. I already have 12-13 chapters drafted.
