"Wow so she is your best friend? That's great" Richard said a grin spreading across his face
"So you can't date her" Molly said
"I can't She's carrying my baby already"
"What?"
"Yes, it's true" Naomi said, stepping into the room.
"Oh, my god Is he the mall guy?" Molly asked staring at Naomi
"Yes Molly it's him "
"Why did you have to fall in love with a member of my family?" Molly asked the tears flowing freely now
💧💧💧
Lura and Lucy rushed into the room tears streaming down their faces
"Emma" they screamed running over to hug her
"What's going on?" Emma asked
"There's an oyinbo (foreigner) here to see you" Lucy said
"What are you talking about?"
"A handsome demon sorry we meant a model He's very handsome But he's too handsome Anyway, he's here to see you," Lura said
"Me?" she asked, still confused.
"Yes you Emma," they said
Emma walked out, and there, standing on the front porch was Drake He looked like a model, and he was incredibly handsome
"Drake, what are you doing here? How did you find my village?" she asked, her mind reeling "He's even more handsome than I remember" she thought to herself
"I'm here because my brother is sick He needs to speak with you," Drake said
"Now?"
"Yes, now"
"I can't go into the city dressed like this Let me change" she said gesturing to her clothes
"You're fine the way you are, let's go" Drake said opening the car door for her Emma sat in the front seat and turned around to see Lura and Lucy squeezed together in the back seat
"Jesus what are you two doing?" she asked shocked
"We're coming to the city with you" t
"But..." Emma began to protest.
"Let them be Emma" Drake said as he started the car and began to drive
***
"I'm so happy to see you before I die" Mike said, lying in a hospital bed
"Don't talk like that Sir Mike You're not going to die," Emma said
"I'm sorry for not trusting you" he said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"It's fine Don't talk save your strength"
"Promise me you'll take care of Drake,"
"You'll take care of him too"
"Promise me"
"I promise"
"Thank you"
Just then, he took his last breath and died
Later that day, the news reported that Mike Martins died at Joy Hospital at 2 PM on October 22, 2024

"Hey, can I have your number?" Edward asked Lucy She smiled and gave him her number then he walked away
"I can't believe you're exchanging numbers at a funeral," Emma said shaking her head
"Come on the deceased has gone We who are alive are the ones that have to move on and enjoy our lives" Lucy said

"But that's the truth" Emma said
"Psshh look who's talking to A married woman what did you know" Lucy teased
"I'm only giving advice"
"And you're doing a great job of it!" Lucy said, rolling her eyes "I can't believe that you came to the city before me I'm married before you This is hilarious" she said, laughing
"I don't know what Edward sees in you" Emma said
"Oh, my husband sees that I'm a great woman that's why he married me You're just jealous Now get out of my house"
"Seriously?" Emma asked mouth agape
"Seriously" Lucy replied with a nod
💧💧💧
Emma sat on her bed deep in thought "Lucy's right It's been years, and Drake hasn't asked me to marry him" Just then she heard a car honk outside Emma pretended to be asleep but she didn't hear the front door open
Emma walked down the stairs it was very dark As she turned on the light she let out a blood-curdling scream at the sight before her..........
