~~LATER THAT NIGHT~~
"Sweet Via, please wake up. I have a wonderful surprise for you, why don't you join me in my office." So this man has the guts to still approach me after embarrassing me earlier at the party. He's so lucky that he's the one that has the upper hand between the both of us. Walking down to his office sometimes gives me the chills because I've experienced series of deaths of victims in that office.



I just wish I'm not walking into a death trap of my own. "I'm sure you'd be pleased by what I got for you, it's right here," he said while pointing at a man seated near his desk blindfolded and tied to a chair. Assessing him now he looks a little bit familiar or maybe my eyes are deceiving me but I'm so happy I'm not in his shoes. He removed the blindfold from his eyes and I saw the man I didn't ever want to see in my life again, Daniel Ogunbanwo.



"Listen to me Via, I believe every single thing you said earlier today at the party in the bathroom, I know he tried to rape you because I overheard everything, so I'm giving him to you to do as you wish,"Julius said while holding my hands. This was really unexpected, I didn't think there would be a turn around in this situation but this act doesn't lessen the hatred I feel for him.



Although, my mind is made up because I'd certainly teach Dan a lesson."I'm going to kill him personally." I said while looking at Daniel intensely, I could see fear in his eyes but he tried to mask it. "Your wish is my command Via, there's a gun inside the drawer of my desk. Do as you please with it, I'll take my leave now. Goodbye Daniel." "You bastard Julius, how dare you do this to me just because of some common prostitute. I promise you'll pay for this, mark my words she'd be your downfall." Dan ranted.



"Julius is gone now don't worry I'll make your death faster by shooting you in the head." "You fool! Do you think he loves you? You would end up like the previous ones, dead. He only keeps them for three years then kills them off, that's the agreement he had with Mama T but your case is different, you are just going to stay two years longer because he fancies you more than the others."



"You lying scumbag so you honestly think I'd believe you, you just want me to have mercy on you. I've killed before and I can do it again." "Sylvia, you just wait longer and your funeral would be the next big event. Do your worst." Boom, Boom, Boom three shots to the brain and that was the end of Daniel Ogunbanwo. "You did well my darling, I'm so proud of you." Julius said while clapping his hands while entering the room. " You've being outside all this while Julius?"



"Yes I have, do you think I'd leave him with you unattended. That's not possible, besides you did well, three shots to the head. Bullseye!" He said laughing while looking at me with admiration. What a pathetic human being, I already know what's going on in his mind because after a murder takes place he always lands in my bed. "I'd like to reward you Sylvia, tell me what you want and I'd give it to you."



This was the perfect opportunity to equip myself adequately because if what Daniel said is true then I'm in a whole lot of shit. "I'd like you to teach me the ropes of your business, money laundering, selling it arms and my favourite selling of drugs. Additionally to these things I'd like my own personal driver and intense defence classes." If I'm going to fight this battle I need to train for it well because it's going to be, eat or eaten.



~~FEW MONTHS LATER~~
Choosing to learn the ropes of Julius business was the best thing I've ever done. It involves more than killing, it requires a lot of experience, effort and patience. I need to know how I'm going to take everything from Julius without killing him because I'll use him later except the need arises. The only thing I eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner is the revenge I have on my mind.



I'm going to get that useless Ovie and break him into pieces slowly that he'd beg to be given as good to wild animals. When the time comes he'd know that karma is a bitch. "Miss we've arrived at the cemetery,"said Oga Timmy, my new personal driver. He was given as a gift when I single handedly transported Julius merchandise to Ghana successfully, he was so elated that he gave my own driver.



Finally I can have breathing space, he keeps choking me up which makes me suspect that it's turning into an obsession. "Thank you Timmy, please wait for me inside the car. I'll be right back." "Miss, Senator Julius ordered me to follow you everywhere you go." "I'm fine Timmy, it's just a cemetery I'm going to besides it has only one entrance and exit, you'd surely see me leaving. Please I insist." I looked at him pleadingly.



I should have known that having my own driver wouldn't be an escape from Julius rather he'd find ways to still keep tabs on me with it or without my consent. "Of course Miss, I'm only answerable to you always," he said while smiling at me. He's being a very good friend to me, he's someone I'd like to keep close because he's very dear to me. I'm certain he feels the same because he keeps saying that anytime he looks at me he sees the daughter he could never have since he's incapable of having a child, that's why he never got married.



All I could do was return his smile and nod, as I was about leaving the car a call came in. "Sylvia baby, how you dey na?" It was my friend Tope, the one I met at Mama T's house during my stay there. I've completely forgotten to call her especially the other two. I'm sure they see me as a bad friend but they wouldn't understand. "I'm fine oo Tope, I know you go talk say I forget you. No be like that oo, I dey busy since that's why."



"Ehen busy with Senator Julius abi, I just say make I halla you oo."She said jokingly. "Abeg leave Julius oo but now worry I'll make time for you girls so we can meet up. Okay." I said to her reassuringly. "I don hear, anyhow sha take care of yourself. Remember don't do what I wouldn't do. Bye." She advices me while ending the call. If only she knew that I've done worse than she could ever do.



Walking down to the graves of my parents and my son was one of the hardest thing I've done, I've never visited them because I was so ashamed of what I've become but today was when I had to pick myself up and be responsible.
