“very important??..ok no problem”

Amaka went to her mini fridge and brought out a packet of juice and glass cup to severe Jake…

“thanks but this is not necessary Now, I want to know what’s wrong with my queen… Wait wait is she pregnant??”

“Hahaha … No.. It’s more than pregnancy” Amaka said

“ok so what’s the problem??”

“(she sighed) chinedu is alive”

“chinedu?? Wait you mean Michael the church drummer”

“exactly, he didn’t die he was only imprisoned in Malaysia but now he is back and presently in lagos”

“what!!! Since when, are you sure you saw him”

“it’s over two or three months he came back”

“and no one told me??. That’s not fair beside I hope he is not pestering or disturbing my queen because I will skin him alive”

“hmm.. You queen made a mistake by going to see him when he came and I don’t know how it happened and they became friends”

“tell me you are joking chioma!!!! You still had the mind to go to chinedu at my back??”

“Jake easy let me explain”

“explain what… I don’t want to hear anything again, chioma how dare you I never knew you were this promiscuous. No what do you want to tell me you are pregnant for the bastard??”

“no no no.. Jake easy that’s far from it. I didn’t know what carried her to his house on a certain evening and he drugged her and took pictures of her unclad, now he threatened to send you the pics and post it on media and send it to the village people if she don’t come to sleep with him at the hotel in one week time. Why I called you here I know your queen has done something greatly wrong but Pls it’s the right time to help her by stopping chinedu”

“spear me that, which queen I reject to have a prostitute as a queen, so all this year’s I have been trying to win and satisfy a prostitute. Chioma you are a disgrace to womanhood, I hate you… Infact chinedu is free to post your nude pictures on the street I don’t care or you go and have sex with him which has been your regular way” Jake barked as tears formed in his eyes

“Jake it wasn’t my fault, I can explain, I was deceived and he drugged me”

“shut up… You were deceived look at your mouth, that’s how I will end up marrying you and my friends will deceive you into bed”

“Jake keep quiet!!!!!…. Shut up how dare you” chioma sister barked

“(crying) jake you called me a prostitute, God knows that you are the only man that has been in life but no problem I accept that.. What am only begging you for is if there is anyway you could help me from chinedu pls” she said on her kneels

“you are not a prostitute but he drugged and rape you and also took pictures of you What a cheap slut. I can’t help you, help yourself and mind you our relationship ends here don’t ever call me, come to my house or come around me again… It’s been a wasted year althrough” Jake said heading to the door

“honestly Jake I also taught you were sensible but you are just good for nothing… Anyway you have successfully broken up with her again, chioma give him back that necklace” amaka commanded

With tears chioma reluctantly removed the necklace from her neck and gave it to Jake. Jake went blank and felt unhappy as chioma stretched her hand giving Jake the necklace and crying…

“(holding back his tears) am not collecting that” he said and walked out of the house..

“chioma stand up it’s alright, we will find a way out but Pls stop this cry so you don’t get dehydrated”

“you see the reason why I want to die, am so so tired of the life”

“chioma stop saying that, everything will be fine he didn’t collect the necklace because the ranting was just for the moment… He knew how hard it was for him to get you back”
**************

“damn damn .. I fucked up, I shouldn’t have gone that far” jake said hitting the steering of his vehicle. ..

“how do I help now, my brain is blank I really need to rest before thinking about this… But chioma broke my heart” he said igniting his engine.

Jake got home, took his bath and had his dinner before drifting into deep slumber. He woke up by 2am In the early hours of the day, dipped his legs into his footwear and went downstairs to the bar.

Jake wasn’t living in the same building with his parents again, he was now living in the newly constructed mini duplex at the back of the main house. The house was actually built for Jake and Cindy but Cindy is a woman and will soon marry so the house is partially for Jake.

He opened a bottle of red label and introduced it into a glass before drinking. Jake unlocked his phone, selected chioma’s number and dialed it….

Chioma couldn’t sleep, she was crying silently throughout the night to the extend that no tears was coming out again. Suddenly her phone started ringing, she look at the caller which was jake and her heart skipped… She slowly picked the call without saying anything…

“my queen…. Am sorry, I don’t mean to talk to you in that manner just that I was stressed up coupled with the bad news” Jake said while he could her sobs from the background. “are you still crying??? Pls stop crying, I don’t want anything to happen to you wipe your tears am sorry. I promise to help you out in less than three days but Pls stop crying I don’t like it, or do you want me to come”

“(sobbing) am ok”

“Pls stop crying I will end all this, I want you to send me chinedu’s house address and the hotel venue he gave you. And I want you to meet me at Konami specialist hospital by 4pm we need to talk”

” ok”

“it’s OK, I want you to sleep now have a good bed rest I will call you later.. Bye my queen” he said without getting any reply as the line went off….
