Once Bella arrived at her home, she bide Goodbye to josh and watched as he drove away, so this is it, She's back home, she signed and walked to the door, she knocked and the door opened it was her grandmother Susan, the moment she saw Bella she was so happy, Bella was shocked to see her grandmother very healthy and looking smooth, she was confused.
" Oh my Isabella your back ,how are you doing, come inside " Susan pulled her inside and she's still shocked.
" Grandma, are you okay ? Bella asked ,Susan smiled as they both sat down
", Of course my dear, am very healthy, am well now" she said happily.
Bella was still confused, how is that possible.
" But grandmother you were sick " Bella said .
" Yes, but sam brought a friend of his who paid for my treatment, his really a kind guy, he even paid for Sam's graduation fees " Susan said making Bella to gasp.
", What...someone paid ? But who ,what did he saw his name was ? Bella asked totally lost .
" It's sam who knows his name, but he told us his a friend to you " Susan said with a smile and Bella frowned.
" Friend ? She whispered and that moment her mind hit her hard , did he ...what the hell this must be a joke .
Knight and his brothers arrived quickly at the airport, once their eyes caught Ragina , she was seated with her airport bag standing beside her, when she turned and saw Knight she smiled and got up as they met her .
" It's a good thing you came , I have less minute to go " she said Knight looked from her airport bag to her .
" Why did you ask me to come here, and where are you going? Knight asked confused.
" I just needed to pass a message to you before I go, and I know how important it is for you to see your mother " she said and Knights eyes widen, infact they all looked shocked.
" My mother ? Knight asked and Ragina nodded.
" She gave me a message to you " Ragina said and opened her purse then brought out a pendent .
" She gave me this before she died, she asked me to find you and give it to you, it's a special pendent from her mother's mother , and she wants you to give it to the woman you love " she said as Knight collected it .
" Also have this card , I need you to check this location, that's where shes buried , she said you should visit her someday " Ragina said and Knight looked so confused.
" But, my mom died instantly when welter killed her " Knight said " how is it possible she was alive till she spoke to you ? Knight asked .
" Am your mother bestfriend Knight, and yes she actually was dead but not fully, welter made a mistake that night thinking she died instantly, but after he took her to dump her body I went along, Tony drove me there so we took her to the hospital, unfortunately she only gave me this pendant and asked me to tell you to visit her , I know how much you've been dying to know were she's kept , now it's the best time to go and see your mother " Ragina said smiling.
Knight couldn't hell but let a tear drop.
" Thank you so much " he told her Ragina patted his back .
" Your mom once saved myself, the list I could do is help her son , after so much living in this country , I want to go back to Mumbai, just said I should hand this to you " Ragina said Knight nodded .
The plan announcement was made .
", I have to go" she told Knight.
" Will I see you again , I want to pay you fir helping me get the chance to see my mother again " Knight said .
" Am sorry Knight, but I don't think we will see soon, if there's anybody who need payback for good deeds , it's Isabella, that girl is very nice and loves you so much , make sure you take care of her" Ragina said and patted Knights cheek who looked confused.
Ragina took her airport bag and blew them a kiss before she got into the plane , Knight stood quietly staring blankly at nothing.
" Dude, what's wrong ? Dustin asked .
" By the way , where is Bella ? Aaron asked .
Knight didn't answer , they looked at each other and their eyes widen.
" You let her go ??? Luke bursted.
" How could you knight, you love that girl for crying out loud "Dustin said .
", Guys please, I want to be alone am not sure of how I feel about her, I need some space to think this through" he said and looked at the pendent.
" I just hope by the time you realize your feelings for her it's not too late " Aaron said and that got him real hard .
Knight wasted no time in going to his mother's grave, where her name is boldly written on it , he cried out his heart after placing flowers on it, it just seem as if it's now his mother died, for the next 2 weeks he kept going there to visit his mother and he told her alot about Bella , yes it's already two weeks and they haven't seen each other , he really missed her anywhere he entered in his house was Bella's memory's, the painting room where he had made love to her, the dinning table, his bedroom, the bathroom, even when he visited his parents house he remembered their love making in the washroom, he couldn't stop thinking about her he tried to go onto another girl but he ended up pushing them away , and then he realized his inlove with her, his madly in love with bella ,his going to get his girl back , he just hope his not late yet.
Bella and her family moved into the house Knight bought for them, Bella couldn't help but keep crying all night for the past two weeks remembering everything that has happened between her and Knight , recently she has been feeling sick trowing up all the time , she kept vomiting all the food she ate , her grandmother has asked her to see the doctor,.but she kept rejecting she said it's normal sickness .
She was in the kitchen one day discussing with her grandmother when she suddenly felt dizzy and her eyes became blur and she fainted , sam and Susan rushed her to the hospital and they got the greatest news of their lives
When Bella's eyes opened , she saw her mother and brother looking at her .
" Mother , sam , what's wrong? She asked , what did the doctor said ? She asked .
" Bella , are you in a relationship with anyone? Susan suddenly asked making her Confused, she shook her head saying no .
", Why such question mother, you know I will tell you if am in a relationship with anyone" Bella said Susan took a deep breath and held her daughter's hand.
" Honey , the doctor said your 2 weeks pregnant" Susan said and Bella gasped.
Her hand went to her stomach as a tear slide down her cheek .
" Knight"
She whispered.

👉👉Episode 4👈👈


“Miriam! Miriam!" Ella picked up pace, trying to catch up with Miriam as she walked along a corridor in the palace.

Miriam slowed down her stride and turned to look at the overly excited Ella.

“What’s wrong and why are you shouting my name like that?”

Ella giggled. “Have you seen the Prince? God have you seen how good looking he is? Good looking is even an understatement. Girl, he is gorgeous!" Grimacing, Miriam continued walking.

“Ella, I am really not interested in what the Prince looks like so please stop.”

Ella’s giddiness melted away, leaving a stern look on her face. 
“Is it just me or are you avoiding him?”

Ella’s question hit home. Stunned, Miriam could only gape at her, wondering how she had noticed she was avoiding Michael like a plague. Had the others noticed too?

“Thank God I saw you guys here,” Chioma said, walking toward them. She held a moderate pile of neatly folded clothes which she presented to Miriam. “Miriam, please take this to the Prince’s room.”

Ella snatched the clothes before Miriam could even look at them. “Miriam should rest. I will deliver them to him.”

Without giving any of the girls a chance to react, Ella ran off. Chioma stared at her as dashed out of sight.
“What is wrong with her today?" Chioma asked, shaking her head in confusion. “Ella going for an errand without being asked to. Hmm. Heavens must be praised.”

“I think it’s because of the Prince,” Miriam said. “She has been acting strange ever since the Prince came back.”

Chioma mused over Miriam’s words. “Hmm. I hope this her behavior will not put her in any trouble o, especially with the Queen, because she seems more protective of her son these days. Anyway I'm leaving.”

She walked out of sight, leaving Miriam to drown in her sea of thoughts. Something was wrong, and she could feel it. Calamity raced toward Ikemba with the speed of a cheetah, and although she wished she could do something to avert it, she could only sit back and watch the darkness engulf them.

***
Queen Jaja, dressed in a pink night gown, walked to and fro the length of her chamber. On her lips was the same prayer she’d been reciting since her son’s return.

“Gods of our land please save my son,” she muttered.

Michael stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. He crossed the room to meet his mother. “Mum, you sent for me."

“Yes, son.” Arms folded, she turned to face him. “Your doctor called. He told me he asked you not to come back until the surgery was done, but you insisted on coming back. Why?"

“Mum, they have been looking for a donor for years and my heart is getting worse day by day,” Michael said. “I can't stay there until I die. I just had to come back home so that even if I am going to die, at least I am at home.”

“Son, you are not going to die, stop saying that,” the Queen retorted.

Wearing a weak smile, Michael put on a false composure so his mother would be oblivious of his vulnerability. But although he did a great job at concealing his true emotions, his mother could read him like an open book.

“I know,” Michael said. “I will try my best to live, even if it costs me all I have. I will live for you, mum. But we should not let down our guards. We have to prepare for the worst in case anything happens.”

"Son, please stay alive for me,” Queen Jaja said, touching her son’s arm. “And don't worry, I have already told the Chief Priest and he said the ritual will be done during the Alaga festivals.”

Michael shook his head in disbelief. How could his mother even think like that? "
“You will do no such thing,” he said, stepping away from his mother. “I have told you already that I won’t partake in that ritual, and neither will I allow you do it for me. How can you kill someone and give me their heart simply because you want me to live? That's not fair. It’s unthinkable!”

“But she will be celebrated,” Queen Jaja said. “Even when she’s gone, her name will live on. The whole village and the generations to come will honor her.”
“Mum, I still say no. I can’t accept it and that's final!” Simmering with rage, Michael stormed out of the room.

Queen Jaja’s eyes watered as she watched the door slam shut. “I can't let you die. Not when I am still alive. As soon as the Chief Priest finds the perfect blood to be poured on my son’s behalf, the sacrifice will take place in this village and in this palace. This is my promise to you, my son.”

" Why don't I see the evidence first?, to be sure you aint playing a fast one on me" Welter said giving Knight the most hardest look ever .
Knight reached into the bag he brought and brought out some papers, he was smart enough not to bring the video Ragina had given to him.
" Here are the evidence, but untill you sign the company papers,then I'd give it to you " Knight said.
Welter was so pissed off he looked up at Ragina who whispered something in his ear .
" Okay , I will sign it " welter said and took the company papers and Ragina gave him a pen as he sighed them all , Knight watched as he sighed them as if it was nothing to him, well they will see Who's smart today .
Once welter finished, he looked up at Knight and held the papers up.

"Fine, so I guess we settled the drama, I hope you don't come threaten me ever again , because I might kill you " welter said and Knight smirked.
" But anyways, since the business went so well, how about we toast to success ? Welter asked smirking Evily , Knight smirked back Evily .
" Why not I will love that " Knight replied.
Welter looked over at Ragina .
" Baby , get us drink " welter said giving Ragina a secret smile who winked him and turned seductively walking away , welter looked at Ragina's ass and licks his lips.
" Can't wait to fuck that ass " he mumbled, and Knight cringed at his disgusting word , this old man sure doesn't have shame, he hasn't changed one bit.well today is his last day to fuck anybody as he says .
" So Knight, are you going to keep pretending you don't know me ?that we haven't met before even before now , really, still pretending?" Welter asked smirking , Knight stared at the old pig which supposed to be his father and smirked, just want he wants.
He looked around and his eyes caught Dustin who gave him thumbs, his holding a camera in his hand as planned, Knight looked back at welter and smirked.
"So Surprising" Knight gave a short mockery laugh as welter gave him a scornful look " I thought you would be fooled for ever, it's a good thing you figured it out , but it seems it took you too long to figure it all out , am glad you do now, so tell me , who helped you to figure it out? " Knight asked with a smirk across his face as they both glared at each other .
At the other side:
Ragina walked into where Bella was kept, the moment Bella saw her she wants to badly ask her what happened, Ragina smiled and remove the cloth from her mouth , then started untying her hands .
" So your Really on our side ? Bella asked .
" I have no choice, we want the same thing, now you have to follow me we need to do something" Ragina said untying her legs .
Once she was done , she told Bella to follow her up and she did, they got to another room and Ragina opened something like a fridge.
" A fridge in this kind of place? Bella asked not understanding, Ragina smirked and brought out a bottle of wine and two glasses.
" Who are does for? Bella asked looking at Ragina suspiciously.
" For your boyfriend and his dear father of course" she answered.
" But how is it possible, Knight doesn't even like that man, talk more of sitting and drinking together, this isn't proper" Bella said really confused to know what's happening.
Ragina opened the wine and poured it into the glasses, then opened her front dress and brought out something wrapped in a little box .
" What are you doing? Bella asked .
" Planning to make it easy " Ragina said putting the white content into one of the glasses Bella watched her shocked.
" Who are you trying to poison? Bella asked.
Ragina smiled closed the box and put it back into her dress .
" Should I say your boyfriend? She asked and Bella gasped.
" I won't let him drink it" Bella said glaring at her Ragina smirked.
" Oh darling, he won't drink it but his father will " Ragina gave her a wink.
" Your trying to kill Mr welter , then you can blame it on Knight , how could you think that , I won't let you " Bella try not to yell.
Ragina picked the two glasses in her hand and kissed Bella's cheek .
" Now, I want you to know welter asked me to do this , but at end he will drink of this ,but I will give it to your boyfriend, you don't need to worry , he won't drink it but welter will" Ragina said .
Bella still didn't trust her .
"Am coming with you , I need to see for my self " Bella said.
" Oh, you must really love your boyfriend so much , no problem you follow me out but hide behind when I go give them , make sure you don't jump out to raise suspicious" Ragina said and Bella. Nodded , Ragina smirked and walked out of the room as Bella followed behind to see what will happen.
Welter was giving Knight a hard look and Knight was boiling with anger trying not to ripe the old man's neck already, Ragina came with the drinks , and as she dropped them, she gave the poison one too Knight and gave him a secret look to know what to do, she has to do it like that because welter is a very smart man who knows when something is wrong, so it's up to Knight to follow the plan smoothly.
" Here is the drink , why don't we toast " welter picked up his glass after toasting he took a sip of his own , but knight did as if he sipped his using his long finger to cover the mouth of the glass making it look as if he drank, welter smirked.
" So you remembered all this while but you pretended? Welter asked Knight didn't say anything but thinking of how to exchange the drink , if welter talks too much, he wouldn't know when he will exchange it, then when he picks it up he won't bother looking at the glass before drinking it.
" I must really say, you've grown so big, but too bad you aint tough or smart" he said as he dropped his drink on the table, Knight did the Same , Ragina suddenly screamed from behind welter quickly turned to her .
" Baby what happened? He asked .
Ragina smiled .
" I think the hills " she said and smirked as Knight already changed them .
" Umm it's okay , am okay ", she stood straight and welter nodded and turned back to Knight who was glaring at him.
"Yeah so, how has the business world transform you so fast Knight? Welter asked .
" I wouldn't want to share my business life with you and you know it" Knight replied and welter picked his glass and took a big gulp making Knight smirked harder ,he took his and sip a little so welter doesn't get suspicious.
" I thought the father has to know about the son?you know what I mean right ?, Father and son bonding" He smirked , and Knight raised an eyebrow.
" Your not my father and will never be and bonding you say? " He laughed " so funny " Knight replied.
" The fact still state it, even though it disgust me to think you are my son as claimed, now you think you can trick me into signing my company papers to you ,what evidence do you have now to put me in jail, I already took them ,and the Company papers your with is fake " welter said he smirked Evily.
Knight got angry checking the papers.
" Oh sorry , do you think you can out smart me, no one deals with me and go score free, am a man of my word and you will end up just like your slut of a mother, it was so easily putting a end to her life , so it's more easier putting an end to yours " welter said in a hard tone the evil in his eyes shining so bright, Knight clenched his fist and try to control himself.
" Shouldn't you be saying that to your self, how your going to end yourself like my mother " Knight smirked and Welters eyes widen as he started feeling hot in his stomach.
" What the hell...d_did you do ? Welter try to control his hot stomach as he was already struggling on the seat .
" Should I say I kind of exchange the drinks ?ah....it was easy to kill my mother , but it's more easier killing yourself right ?" Knight asked smirking.
Ragina went to stand beside Knight and smirked, Knight was busy smiling.
" Ra_gi_na , h_how c_could y_you , you be-tray m_me" welter said with a clenched teeth as he sends daggers to Ragina who was still smirking.
By this time Bella ran out and Knight hugged her tightly.
" Oh thank goodness nothing happened to you " Bella said as Knight held her to him and kissed her long on hard on the lips then faced his father who is on the floor already.
"You killed my mother , and thought you could go score free, that is the most stupid thing you ever thought of father" he mocked .
" His greatest mistake was not killing you knight, your father sure has a thing" Ragina said and Bella looked at her the woman is so hard to figure out .
" I....I tru_sted you Ra_gina " welter said .
" That's one thing you should never do easily, trust! Because your going to get stab ... before you realize it" Ragina said, welter was still struggling as he looked at Knight with so much hatred.
" I killed your mother because she was such a bitch , lying to me that your my son when we did it only once " he yelled .
" And you think once couldn't get a woman pregnant? Knight yelled "ahh..... he doesn't know" Knight chuckled unbelievably,Welter remained quite, he wonders where his bloody body guard are , why aint there any one ?
" Are you looking for your bodyguards? Ragina smirked." I think the coups has already taken care of them , you don't need to worry much " she said and Welters eyes widen .
" You both tricked me " he yelled " just remember that if I die, you two will be locked up " welter said as his eyes began blurring.
Ragina walked towards him and bend down to look at his face.
" Don't worry love, it's only a sleeping tablet,it will just burn you a little like you will die,but u won't, once you wake up , you will be in jail with your other friends" Ragina said touching his hair .
" Get your hands of me bitch " welter yelled Ragina chuckled.
Knight walked to welter and picked him up by the collar, he was already weak and about to close his eyes .
" I've been wanting to do this " Knight said and punched him hard on the face .
" That's for my mother "
"For me" punch.
"For everything" punch.
Bella pulled him away as Welters faces was already bloody , this time around the police already came in with Knights brother's.
Welter was already lossing consciousness as the police went to pick him up .
" One more thing, I changed the company papers, so sorry welter you signed the original one " Ragina said looking at welter with a smile , he tries to say something but blacked out .
Knight had a word with the police and Dustin handed the inspector the recording, they bide goodbye and left , the three body guards were already arrested .

Behind Her Smile. Episode 3.

👉👉Episode 3👈👈
“No, please don't kill me,” Miriam screamed. Her
feet pounded the ground, kicking dirt backward and she trudged forward, leading her pursuer in hot pursuit.

Brandishing a cutlass, her pursuer dashed after
her with every ounce of his vigor. The ground trembled underneath his feet. His wrapper around the lower half of his body danced around in the air as his legs flew apart. A white paint formed an eerie trail along his nose bone, and on his clean shaven head were white dots, having the appearance of fireflies.

Tattoos snaked around his arms, and beads of cowries hung down his neck, wrists and ankles, jingling rhythmically. Heart thundering, Miriam tore her way through rows of trees.

Tears stormed out of her eyes, leaving cold trails
down her cheeks. “Please don’t kill me.”

“The royal offspring must die,” the man said. An
average human would be breathless from running an endless race, but his voice held no trace of exhaustion.

“I must kill the offspring. The fulfilment of the prophecy is here!"

Miriam panted. Her legs wobbled underneath her.
They could not run another lap, and she knew how pointless it was to keep running. Perhaps this was it. Perhaps she was destined to die today, by his hands. Why keep running from the inescapable?

She turned around to face the man. Their close
proximity made her shiver. Her eyes squeezed shut as he raised his blade in the air. Sucking in a deep breath, she embraced her end. She stood motionless, waiting for the blade to sink into her
skin.

Footsteps rushed toward her from behind. Before she could register what was happening, someone shoved her sideways. Gasping, she fell on her side.

A maddening pain spread across her ribs, forcing a silent scream from her mouth. Something thudded on the ground beside her. Her eyes flew open, only to find her savior writhing on the ground. Grunting, he clutched a gaping hole in his chest. Blood oozed out like water gushing out of a faucet.

“Michael!” she screamed till her lungs burned.
“No!”

She scrambled to his side and knelt beside him.
She looked around in search of the man who’d tried to kill them, but he was gone. There was no sign that he’d even been here, save for the damage he had inflicted on Michael.

Her frantic hands found Michael’s wound and
pressed down on it.
“We need to stop the bleeding. Michael, I’ll go
get help. Please, stay with me. I’ll go get help. You will be alright. Don’t die on me, please. Don’t you dare leave me behind, I beg you.”

She could feel his heartbeat, slow and barely
noticeable, but it was still there. She had to save him. If she left now, then there was a greater chance of saving him. She made to stand, but the feel of his trembling palm against her cheek held her back.

Michael,” she breathed. Her tears glided to his
hand. “Stay with me.”

He smiled weakly. “I miss you so much, "Miriam.”

“I miss you too,” she said, her voice wobbling out of control. 
“Please stay with me. I beg you. Don’t do this to
me.”

“I love you.” he said

“I love…” she started, but the words died on her
lips as Michael’s hand dropped from her face, thumping lifelessly on the ground. His eyes stayed locked on hers, but they were cold, distant, lifeless .

No,” Miriam screamed, shaking her head. She would not accept this. She couldn’t lose him. She gripped his shoulder and shook vigorously, but he stared at her, unblinking. He would never breathe again. Her Michael was gone.

“Please stay with me. Michael, you can't leave
me just like that. I love you and I miss you so much. Please, I beg you.”

***

“Please wake up,” Miriam cried in her sleep.

“Miriam!” Esther yelled. She shook Miriam’s arm,
but Miriam didn’t budge. Amara and Ella stood around the bed on which Miriam lay, their faces painted with fear.

Miriam gripped fistfuls of her bedsheet and
rolled on her side, muttering some incoherent words.

“Miriam please wake up!" Amara shouted.

Miriam bolted upright in bed, a loud scream
tearing her lips apart. Her eyes, round as doughnuts, swept around the room. She gazed at her roommates, and then fixated her eyes on
the wall.

Ooh,” Ella groaned. “These your village people have come again abi?"

“Ella stop,” Esther said. “Can’t you see that she had a terrible dream or are you blind?”

Esther sank down in the bed beside Miriam and
patted her back. Sweat streaked down Miriam’s body, drenching her cotton night gown. She blinked off a bead of sweat strolling into her eyes.
“Are you okay?” Esther asked.

Unable to find her voice, Miriam could only nod.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Esther asked.
“Should I get you water?"

“I’m fine,” Miriam muttered.

“What did you dream of?” Ella asked.

Movement around the door caught Miriam’s eye. She turned toward the door just in time to see a figure walk through it. Hyperventilating, Miriam pointed at the door with a trembling hand. Her eye balls rolled back in her head and she collapsed backward, losing consciousness.

“God!” Amara flattened her palm on her
chest.

“Miriam!” Ella called, moving to touch her.
“Miriam, please wake up. Oh God! What are we going to do nah?"

Esther touched Miriam’s wrist, feeling her pulse. “Somebody should please send for Chioma.”

The words had barely left Esther’s lips when Amara darted out of the room, beating Ella to it. She burst into Chioma’s room.

“Chioma,” she called, sweeping her eyes around
the room, but no one was in sight. She dashed to the toilet, but it held no sign of Chioma. Amara placed her hands on the back of her head and bounced on the balls of her feet.

“Oh God! Oh God! What is this na? Where is she?”

She turned toward the door and caught sight of a
woman staring at her. The woman, blessed with an uncanny beauty, seemed to be in her mid-twenties. She stood motionless, glaring at Amara with eyes that could kill.

Screaming, Amara stepped backward. She glanced around for a way to save herself. Finding nothing, she looked back at the doorway, but the woman was gone. She whirled around, half-expecting to see the woman staring at her from another corner, but no one was in sight.

Screaming, she dashed toward the door and bumped into a human wall. “Please don’t hurt me."

“What are you doing in my room?” a familiar voice asked.

Amara opened the eyes she didn’t realize she’d been closing. She heaved a sigh at the sight of Chioma. Her eyes darted around in search of the woman. Had someone really been there, or had she been hallucinating?

“You look like you just saw a ghost,” Chioma observed. “Is everything okay?”
Amara shook her head. Pointing at the threshold she said, “There was a woman.”
“A woman?” Chioma asked. Amara nodded.

Ehen? What happened to the woman?” Although
Chioma knew the woman Amara referred to was none other than Nnenna, the ghost hunting the palace, she feigned ignorance.

“She was standing right here. But then she just…she disappeared."

Chioma touched Amara’s forehead with the back of her hand. “When last did you take malaria medicine? You’ve started seeing things.”

“I’m not seeing things,” she said. “Someone was…” She trailed off. What point was there explaining to Chioma? She would only paint herself as a crazy person, and she didn’t want that. Besides, there were more pressing things to do at the moment.

“You still haven’t told me what you’re doing here,” Chioma said.

“Please come with me,” Amara said. “It’s Miriam.”

A panicked look flashed across Chioma’s previously stern face. “What happened to Miriam?”

“She…she fainted. I don’t know what happened. She was having a really bad dream, and then—”

Chioma sprinted out of the room, making Amara’s words die on her lips. Amara trailed after her. They raced to Miriam’s side of the servant's quarters and found her lying supine on her bed. She had regained consciousness. Ella stood beside her, fanning her vigorously, while Esther sat beside her, grasping her hand.

“But Miriam, what is wrong with you?” Amara asked.
“Why is it the every night you can’t let anyone sleep in this room, eh?”

Miriam rolled on her side and swiped at the tears spilling out of her eyes. She curled into a ball and embraced herself.

Amara went on, “Chioma, you better ask Miriam why she can't let us sleep. I’ve had a very hectic day and my eyes are heavy, but I can’t even sleep because of one person.”

“I told you guys that her village people have come again,” Ella said. “But you people don't want to believe me.”

Chioma and Esther grimaced at Ella, forcing her to swallow back her words. “Okay guys, I get it. I shouldn’t joke around at a time like this, but I had to say something to lighten up the mood.”

Miriam snuffled. “I’m so sorry I woke you girls up. I just had a nightmare. That’s all.”

“What is the dream all about?” Chioma asked.

Miriam closed her eyes, shutting out memories of the dream as they made to surface. “It’s nothing.”

“It’s nothing?” Chioma echoed.

“Yes,” Miriam said.

Amara frowned. “How can you say it’s nothing eh? Every night you have this kind of dream, something bad always happens the next day and you are saying it's nothing? See, you are scaring me o, and it’s not funny one bit.”

“Have they come?” Ella asked, bubbling with laughter. “Tell us if they have come o, so that we will know when to run.”

“This is not a funny matter,” Chioma said.

Miriam opened her eyes and turned to glare at Ella. 
“Okay girls,” Chioma said. “Since she said she is okay, let's let the sleeping dog lie. And please, listen carefully, all of you. Make sure that no one hears of this incident. Do you understand?"

“Yes,” they chorused.

“Good,” Chioma said, her gaze lingering on Amara. Without another word, she left for her room. The others retired to their beds, and although sleep eluded them all, they all lay still and shut their eyes.

‘Why is it that we are not allowed to say anything that goes on inside this palace to anyone?’ Amara wondered. ‘But what could be wrong with Miriam, or could Ella be saying the truth when she said that her village people were disturbing her? But Miriam is a nice girl. She has this wonderful smile that is capable of enchanting the world, and she is such a beautiful girl that sometimes I feel envious of her.

And the worst is she doesn’t really know how lucky she is. Heavens please save us or we perish with this calamity that is going around in this village.’

Behind Her Smile. Episode 1 & 2.

Episode 1 & 2


👉👉Episode 1👈👈

Her heart swelling with a news she could not
contain, Ella raced into the room she shared with her fellow palace maids. Her roommates had been cleaning up the room, but her sudden presence made them halt. She had brought news. They could tell from the look on her face.

“Girls, have you heard?” Ella asked, panting.
She had broken into a sprint just so she could be the first to break the news .

BBC, what news do you have for us today?”
Esther asked nonchalantly.
"Hey Esther,” Ella said, a friendly smile
creeping to her face.
“I always bring clean news, so don't insult me just because I decided to help you by bringing the latest happening in this palace to your very own hearing o."

The third maid, Amara, bubbled with anticipation
as she awaited the news Ella had brought. "Sorry, don't mind her. Just tell us what you have for us."
"Anyway I don't blame you, so I will still give
you the news sha,” Ella said to Esther. Facing Amara and the rest of the maids, she smiled broadly.

"The Prince is coming back
today.”
"What!" the maids exclaimed in unison.
"Yes and do you know the worst part?” Ella
asked.

"No,” Esther said. “Tell us.”
Ella moved to the girls—now muddled as one—and
whispered into their eager ears. Walls had ears, so she wouldn’t want the words from her lips to reach the wrong ears.

"What!" the girls screamed, their eyes round
with fear.
"Why would the Queen perform such a ritual?”
Amara asked. “I mean wasn't it banned by the former Chief Priest?
Why would the Chief Priest perform such an evil thing in this land again?"

"But why is the Prince coming back home and why
is it that no body is aware of his coming eh?" Esther asked.

Miriam stood by the window, her fingers tightly
wrapped around a mop. She looked up at the ceiling and a ghastly fear welled up in her stomach. Despite this, she wore her best smile, blinding the world from her true emotions.

‘Oh heavens, why is he coming back so soon
already?’ she said to herself ' What am I even saying eh? This is his home, so maybe he misses it and that's why he is coming home. But I hope he doesn’t distract me from my mission in this palace.’

“Miriam, what do you think about the Prince’s return?" Esther asked, interrupting her thoughts.
Miriam’s grip on the wooden mop tightened even
more. Esther’s question had caught her off guard, draining her face of its chocolatey glow. But she did a good job at concealing her
shock.

"What kind of question is that? "

"But you guys used to be best of friends,” Esther said, more like a question than a statement.
Miriam rolled her eyes.

"You said used to be. Not any more, Esther, so please let me be.” Without another word, she placed the mop against \\the wall. Gliding from the wall, the mop clattered to the tiled floor, but Miriam paid no attention to it. She stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

"Hmm,” Amara said. Her face hardened, flaunting
her exasperation. “What's wrong with that one?"

Esther waved off her question and any further
conversation about Miriam’s attitude as though she were swatting at a mosquito.

"I wonder what the Prince now looks like,” she said, smiling sheepishly.

Chioma, who had been quietly listening to the
conversation, chimed in, "I’m very sure that he has grown into a very handsome young man, and I am also sure that now that he has grown up, things will not be the same again. He will start acting like the Prince he is.”

"Do you think he will be harsh on us or friendly?" Ella asked Chioma. Just make sure you do all your chores so that no one will have any reason to be harsh on you.” Chioma walked out of the room, leaving the others thinking about the unfolding event.

😁😁Behind Her Smile😁😁
👉👉Episode 2👈👈

Sat on a stool behind the palace, Miriam mused
over the news Ella had brought. Her hair danced shyly in the cool evening breeze. She’d packed it in a neat pony, but a few stray strands framed the sides of her heart shaped face. Absent mindedly, she tucked the stray strands of hair behind her ears.

Does he still remember me or has everything changed?" she pondered. Shrugging, she looked up at the sky, her heart filled with prayer a prayer that he would forget her so she could complete her rituals in the palace and leave unnoticed.

Her thoughts settled on the dreams she’d been
having lately. These dreams had introduced her to a whole new level of fear; one she never knew existed. Silently, she prayed none of her dreams came true. An unnaturally brilliant light spilled out of

the heavens, hitting her with the intensity of a thousand suns. A stifled shriek escaping her lips, she leapt to her feet. Instinctively, she sank her eyes into the crook of her left elbow.

“The fulfilment is near,” a voice thundered from
the heavens. “Kill the royal one or you will be offered up in his place.” The roar of thunder punctuated the warning, causing Miriam’s entire body to tremble as though an earthquake was about to erupt. Heart thumping savagely, she dashed into the palace.

The other maids, littered in the kitchen, slowed
down her stride. Unlike her, they had nothing to think of and had returned to their chores. Although she craved some more moments of rest, she had to attend to her chores, lest the Queen hears of her new found laziness. Sighing, she grabbed a wet rag and joined Amara in cleaning the glassware cabinets.

“Wow!” Ella said, swirling around to sweep her
eyes around the sparkling kitchen. A proud smile graced her lips. “Believe me girls, up till now I am not done admiring this house. It’s just amazing.”

“Have you heard the secret behind the foundation of this house?” Amara looked around, making sure no one was watching them. Although Miriam didn’t want to be apart of their conversation, she couldn’t help but listen.

Esther advanced to Amara. “What secret are you
talking about?”

Standing at akimbo, Amara whispered, “I heard it
was build with the sacrifice of new born baby.”
Fear flashed across the girls' faces.

“What?”

“And how do you know that?” Chioma asked, narrowing her eyes at Amara.

“Am I not in this village?” Amara asked.
“Anyway, I also heard that the story is not allowed to be discussed in this village, especially here in the palace.”

Grimacing, Chioma tugged at her left ear and
leaned in toward Amara who took a step away from Chioma’s intimidating stance. “Hmm! Amara you better watch what you say or else I won't be responsible for anything that happens to you.”

The girls stared at Chioma in bewilderment as she marched out of the kitchen. “Why is she acting like that?” Amara asked, gazing at the spot where Chioma had been standing. “Or is it because she is the head maid?”

“Let’s just continue with what we are doing
before the Queen meets us here,” Esther suggested, leading the girls back to their hive of activities.

They had barely even resumed their chores when
the Queen’s high pitched voice sailed to their hearing. “My son is back!”

On cue, the maids set down their cleaning tools
and dashed out through the back door. Their eyes twinkled with sheer excitement.

Miriam stayed back in the kitchen, feigning oblivion of the Prince’s return. Although the Queen’s shout out had made Miriam freeze, she let her immobility last only for a moment. Shrugging, she went back to work. She shook her head disappointedly at her friends' giddiness. She couldn’t blame them though. Who wouldn’t be eager to see the Prince who’d been away for years?

Sighing with frustration, Miriam tossed her rag
to the corner and made for the servant’s quarters. The day had been quite hectic and she needed a break, but as she neared the living room, the cheering from outside interrupted her footsteps.

She gripped a pillar and peeked through the curtains. A crowd of men, women and children streaked in through the gate, singing welcoming
songs as they marched toward the Prince’s car.

They screamed at the top of their voices as a
guard advanced to the car and tugged at the door. Bowing, he held open the door for the Prince to step out. As though a whistle had been blown, everyone else bowed before the Prince.

The Prince stepped out of the car, his head held
high in a kingly pride. Miriam craned her neck to have a better view. She had been right to think he’d grown into a fine young man.

Even though Miriam and the Prince had been
friends in the past, she almost didn’t recognize him. The hair on his head, almost an afro, glittered like coal. His complexion, now many shades lighter, made him no different from those British men who often visited the palace. But this fine young man was no foreigner. This was Michael Jaja, the prince of Ikemba.

Michael smiled and waved at the crowd who had
gathered to welcome him. “Thank you all. I have missed this place so much "

“Michael my son,” Queen Jaja said, her voice
standing out among the cluster of voices. “Welcome home. Come and give your mother a hug.”

Michael turned toward his mother, but before his
gaze fell on her, the window caught his eye.
Gasping, Miriam ducked away from his sight. She pressed her hand to her chest, leading her pacing heart back to normalcy.

The Prince had seen her. Or had he? Although she craved another sneak peek to find out if he still stared in her direction, she turned away from the living room.

She sauntered to her room and plopped down on the bed she shared with Amara. There she sat, motionless, her chest heaving as she reminisced over the bond she’d shared with Michael in the past.

The commotion outside grew louder by the second. Miriam knew she was supposed to be out there, welcoming the Prince. It was one of her duties as a palace maid, but she just couldn’t handle being
there.

“Wow,” Ella said. Miriam raised her head and
found Ella and Amara waltzing into the room. How long had she been lost in thoughts?

“The Prince has always been handsome,” Ella
said. “But I never thought he would be this charming.”

“He’s been working out too,” Amara said. “Did
you see his muscles? They were almost bursting out of his shirt.”

“What are you girls doing here?” Chioma asked,
standing in the threshold.

“We came to call Miriam,” Ella said.

“I have come to call her myself,” Chioma said.
“It seems she needs a personal invitation.”

“Sorry. I had a headache, so I came here to
rest.” Miriam looked away from Chioma. She always did that when she lied. How could she join them outside when the only thing on her mind was avoiding the Prince at all costs?

“When everybody is busy welcoming the Prince?”
Chioma asked.

“I said I have a headache,” Miriam said. “I’m
not feeling well, please.”

“Okay,” Chioma said. “That’s what you’ll tell
the Queen. You think she hasn’t noticed your absence? If you like your job and want to keep it, you better go out there and do what you’re being paid for."

Miriam sighed. She knew she was fighting a
hopeless war. She trailed after Chioma, Ella and Amara as they walked out of the house. While the three maids joined the crowd in cheering and dancing, Miriam stood like a statue, her eyes locked on the Prince who had his back to her. Standing behind Amara, she stared at him, praying he didn’t turn around. She couldn’t handle
him locking eyes with her right now.

Queen Jaja stood behind her son as he crowded
the entrance door. The smile on her face had faded, her excitement replaced with a feeling that could only be fear. With a heart full of prayer, she watched her son step into the house.

A fierce wind whirled around him, rippling his
clothing and wrapping him with a ghastly cold. He swayed backward, losing his footing, but the Queen was quick to grip his arms. She knew why this was happening, and the knowledge that things might go
wrong filled her with untold fear.

‘Oh heavens,’ she prayed silently.
‘Please don't let anything happen to my son '

Impregnate Me or I Die. Episode 4.

Episode  4

I had to take two weeks break from work to be with Sally for her wedding preparations. We planned and executed every bit of her wedding decisions together. The wedding was okay because Sally’s husband worked with an oil company in Porthacourt; and with a fat salary, they could afford everything they wanted for the wedding. He had come for a two-week official assignment in Kano where he met with Sally. I felt for him considering the past life of my friend. Will she be able to give him a child at all? This was my thought all through the wedding. The wedding ended and I took off on Monday morning back to Lokoja. My wedding was in a month’s time, and I needed to put myself together so that I can be strong enough to go through the stress. I was shocked to my bones when Sally told me she won’t be coming for my wedding. ‘Why won’t you attend my wedding after all I went through to make yours a success?’ I protested. How can she be absent at my wedding? ‘No way, Sally I know you are joking,’ I said, laughing over the phone. ‘Maryam you won’t understand.’ she said. ‘On my wedding day, I was already two months pregnant and the doctor had advised me not to engage in strenuous activities in my first trimester.’ ‘Sally, you are what?’ I asked in surprise. It was a mixed feelings for me, I was happy she was pregnant and also unhappy she won’t make it to my wedding. But how could she be pregnant? after the last abortion the doctor told her that her chances of getting pregnant within the next five years is less than 7%. I would have ascribed this to a miracle but Sally was the least to enjoy God’s grace. I was happy for her, my fears had been taken away. But many questions ran through my mind; does God show mercy on unrepentant persons? To the best of knowledge, Sally is still a chronic sinner. Three of her boyfriends still sent her money while I was with her in the build up to her wedding. I was aware she still went to see Alhaji Ado in his hotel room four days to her wedding. I concluded, “His ways are not our ways” and left the matter at that. I began to plan for my own wedding as the day drew near. Sally and her husband sent me N300,000 to support my wedding plans. Three days to the D day I became feverish for thoughts and fears of sleeping with a man for the first time. I was told the first experience is not always funny especially at my age. I became so weak that I was taken to the hospital where I was given two drips before I was discharged.

Everything went well, my mom was proud of me marrying at 29 as a virgin. My mom had taught me everything I needed to know and do as a new bride. On our first night together as husband and wife, my husband could not believe I was still a virgin when he couldn’t penetrate me. I had never told him I was a virgin either. After much struggle without success, he took a break and went downstairs as if he was going to buy something but I saw him making a call. He must have called a friend to narrate his experience. He came back after about 30 minutes with smile all over his face. Maryam, you are still a virgin? I smiled, I was proud of myself and my mom. My dream to give my virginity to my husband had finally come to reality. This time he knew what to do, he must have been taught from the phone conversation he had. That night he made a lot of promises to me including buying me a car. Been with Omeiza for one week without interruption from work and families was the best thing that ever happened to me. We gisted, played games, watched movies, ate and slept all through the week. We could go a whole day without seeing the sun, it was fun, fun and more fun. I knew I won’t escape been pregnant after a two week continuous sexual intercourse. One month after I started feeling funny in my body, of course I needed no laboratory test to know what was going on in my system. I was so weak that my husband will have to close on time from work to help me do some house chores. ‘You need to see the doctor,’ Omeiza pleaded. ‘I will see the doctor at the right time, I will be fine,’ I assured him.

" I like it that your tough dear, you shouldn't easily trust someone cause they will back stab you , but believe me when I say I want welter dead as Knight wants , anyways your precious boyfriend is already on his way ,and all this drama will end soon " Ragina said and tied Bella's mouth back.
" Am sorry i have to tie you back , we wouldn't want to get welter suspicious would we ? She asked smirking and Bella shook her head .
" Ms I think his here " one of the guards said to Ragina .
" Oh , his here , let me go check out what's happening, just relax I will be back " Ragina said and walked away .
Bella was so scared, Knight has already arrived, what will happen now, will welter succeed in killing him oh goodness she couldn't help but cry , she really doesn't want anything to happen to Knight, she loves him so much , God please" she prayed silently.

After Knight got the news that Bella was kidnapped, Ragina told him welter already planned it , so she sent Knight the location and asked him to be there ASAP, their plan is if Knight is coming with the Police then they have to dress casual not to attract Welters men before they give information that he came with the police, Knight agreed .
Him alone will meet with welter while his brothers and the police will hide in the inside building, so welter will think he came alone, he made sure that his with the evidence .
He reached the place and stopped his car it was an old building, hmm welter thinks his smart , his planning to kill him and he knows, same goes to him .
He has to co operate so he can take him down and get Bella, the only woman he has come to care so much for .
Entering the building, with his brother's hiding behind the bushes to try and get inside , they watched from afar as Knight spoke to the body guards on the entrance door then he walked in .
Welter sat on a chair with a table right Infront of him , another chair was beside him , and Ragina was sitting on his lab smirking, once welter saw Knight he smirked and Ragina got up from Welters lab as Knight approached them trying his possible best not to jump on the fucker and kill him immediately.
" The king finally arrived, ready to do some business? Welter asked smirking.
Knight smirked back .
" Ready " he said
And Ragina gave Knight a secret look as she smirked and wrapped her hands around welter .
Let the business begin.

Impregnate Me or I die. Episode 3.

Episode 3

We graduated on the 18th September and it was celebration galore. I went back to Abuja to my parents to await my NYSC posting while Sally decided to stay back in Kano because she was offered a teaching job in one of the best private schools in Kano. It was the custom of the school to seek for the best graduating students in the University to offer a job with tempting pay. Sally though wasn’t the best student in our department but she was one of the best, she was preferred because she is from the north and could speak Hausa very well. She worked with the school for seven months when our posting came. The school owner has solid influence in the University and could influence Sally’s posting. Sally was posted to Kano after the school proprietor had pressed his buttons. You can’t imagine how much a private school was paying Sally, a semi graduate. We later learnt the school proprietor could spend fortune on his English and Mathematics teachers. When I came to collect my result, I spent three days with Sally in her one room self-contained apartment. Her lifestyle was now more terrible than when we were in school.

I was posted to Lokoja for my Youth service. By that time, Daniel was already engaged with a girl he impregnated. I was disappointed but he explained everything to me and apologized for betraying me. His mother wanted him to marry the girl instead of waiting for me to complete my education. Unfortunately, we had two strikes that extended our stay in school beyond four years. He tried to resist the girl but his mother connived with the girl and played smart on him. I was sorry for him because I know he’s not the tough type. That was the end of my journey with Daniel. It was a bit painful because I had turned down all proposals from all the guys I met in school because of Daniel. I moved on with my life as I reported to Lokoja for my Youth service program.

At Lokoja, I met an Ebira guy, Omeiza by name. He was just the perfect guy I could have something serious with. He works with Kogi State ministry of finance, a Christian per excellence. He lived in a well furnished two bedroom apartment and he was relatively comfortable. His salary was not much but he was from a royal family and his father willed some of his properties in and outside Lokoja to him before he died. He had just two brothers, one lived in the US while the other is an officer in the Nigerian Army. I met Omeiza through a friend in our church. I called her my friend because we were both in the church choir together.

Omeiza did not let me feel the vacuum created by Daniel. He was all over me all through my service year in Lokoja. ‘Maryam, you will be completing your service in a month’s time, I will like you to take me to your parents next week. I have also concluded arrangements to take you to my people this weekend,’ he said. I was perplexed, I had never introduced anyone to my parents as my man, how will I do this? What will I tell Mrs Ladidi, the iron lady? I began to rehearse how I will tell my mom that I now had a fiance.

I called Sally to advice me on how to present it to my parents that I was bringing my boyfriend to the house when she broke the news to me. ‘Maryam my wedding will be coming up in July and you’re gonna be my chief bride maid.’ July 4th was our proposed date with Omeiza but I didn’t bother to tell her on phone. I was happy for my friend that she will be settling down at last. We talked at length about the guy, the wedding and lots more. Immediately she dropped the call I remembered all the abortions Sally had done, would she be able to get pregnant again especially with the last experience? I really feared for her. I told Omeiza about Sally and her wedding plans, so we shifted ours to a further date in September in order to provide the needed support for my friend’s wedding.

After the lecture from Sally on how to present my boyfriend to my parents, I called my mom and repeated almost word to word everything Sally told me to my mom with a shaky voice. Sincerely I was shocked at my mom’s response, I was expecting a shout like usual but this time it was different. The salutation was different, her voice was cooler, her words of praises gave me confidence that I was doing the right thing. This was the first time I had the guts to talk to my mom about a man. I was expecting her to say “make sure he doesn’t touch you” or “you must not allow him see your pant” as usual but I was disappointed. She was happy and promised to tell my dad about our proposed visit.

We first traveled to Okene to see his family. Their house was big, what do you expect from a royal family? Everyone accepted me, his aged mother made me sit on her laps like a baby, wow I felt like a princess for the two days we stayed in Okene. It was like we already married, his people were lovely and hospitable. We all went to church on Sunday in the family Sienna car, his mother, two cousin sisters and myself sitting in front of the car with Omeiza like the queen of Ohinohi, hahaha. We left Okene very early in the morning on Monday to report directly to our places of work. Okene to Lokoja was less than an hour drive. When we arrived Lokoja I was thinking of how we will pass the night in my house, our house in Abuja isn’t as big as Omeiza’s house in Okene where I had a whole big room to myself. The thought of how to pass the night in Abuja with Omeiza became my major problem.

We left for Abuja on Friday afternoon. On arrival my mom was all over him, ‘my son that, my son this.’ She barely had time for me. He was led to the dinning table and my mom served my boyfriend a sumptuous meal, this is unbelievable. Mrs Ladidi had changed. I couldn’t comprehend her sudden change for quite a while. Immediately after the dinner, I began to think about where to sleep. My mom had everything planned out without me knowing. She had asked my sisters to moved their things temporarily to her room, the same room she shared with my dad. Maryam, let my son go and rest as she pointed to the other room, of course there are only two rooms. The second room was our room but the arrangement was amazing this time. The two of us were to use the room while my two sisters use the sitting room. How can my mom trust me and a man inside a room all the night after all her teachings? I was not comfortable with the arrangement so I led Omeiza to the room and joined my sisters at the sitting room. She came out at about 10:30pm and saw me at the sitting room with my sisters and almost got angry, you left only him in the room? She asked angrily. I couldn’t say a word but quickly joined him in the room.

To be continued……

nails on the table as Knight pulled out a papar
for her , his brothers sat beside him.
” How am I supposed to trust you guys that I
won’t get involved in this case? Ragina asked
looking at them suspiciously.
” You won’t get involved if you tell us what we
need to hear” Knight said trying to control his
temper.
Ragina picked up the papers and read all the
illegal activities they got about welter , she
looked at them and crossed her fingers after
dropping the paper’s.
” I have one request” she said .
Knight and his brothers looked at each other
then back to her
” Spill it out ” Dustin said with a cold eyes .
Ragina released her crossed hand and leans
forward on the table.
” I don’t want him to know I sold this information
to you people, I also want him dead, so we all
have to work together, I am not on his side and
believe me I hate that old beast for crushing his
way into my young heart, it’s so unfortunate that
he happens to be your father , I must say his a
gross man ” Ragina said and Knight try to keep
his boiling heart.
” Ragina , I really don’t know your relationship
with him, just give us some more information, to
get him down, if it’s money we will pay you as
much as you want ” Aaron said in a hard tone.
“, Do you think I need your fuckin dick of a
money? Ragina yelled banging her fist on the
table making them to wonder why shes acting
strange.
” Am only doing this for my own benefit and it’s
just so good you guys want cooperation, I will
help you guys out , and we can end him up, he
also made my life a living hell do you think I’d let
him go ” Ragina asked scoffing.
” You don’t seems like your sad, you look happy
as fuck with him in the function ” luke said
sarcastically.
” Just Because I was too clingy towards him
doesn’t mean I don’t want the bastard gone
ASAP”, she said glaring at them.
“, I know all the information about your mother
Knight,” knights eyes widen .
” What do you mean ? They all asked .
” I saw all that happened that day , I’ve been
looking for a way to get welter down , so that
day he killed your mom i was right below the
stairs videoing everything that took place” she
said and Knight and the rest looked shocked .
” I made sure to keep does recordings very intact
, so I had a countdown with his body guard Tony
to find the room you were locked in and to
release you , so there for I have all necessary
information’s about your heck of a father “,
Ragina said with a smirk plastered on her face .
Knight and his brothers looked beyond shock as

” Do you think i don’t ? Welter killed my fiance in
other to have me , all I could do is let the
bastard rot himself, so I angrily Choose to be his
mistress to lay my hands on his wealth and to
destroy him, now that the opportunity is right
before my eyes, you guys should be grateful you

” So your going to help us ? Knight asked .
