“How about this?” Samantha asked Eric as she placed her dress over her body and turned to look at him.“This is perfect. It looks beautiful on you.” Eric said in a low tone as he tilted his head away briefly to scout for his clothes. After much deliberation, they finally picked a cloth, and they got ready for dinner. “Taking a cab?” Samantha asked as they walked out of the house to the roadside.“I already booked us a ride.” He replied, tilting his head away from her slowly as he heaved a sigh, thinking about what had happened between him and Sonia earlier in the day. Sonia had wanted to embarrass him, but she ended up being embarrassed instead. He chuckled as he remembered that she was asked to clean the whole restaurant to pay for the bills. “She would still be there cleaning.” Eric thought to himself and chuckled again.“What is going on?” Samantha suddenly asked, grabbing his attention as he suddenly tilted his head to look at her, making a puzzled face as if he wanted her to say

Everyone gasped as they heard the sound of the slap that landed on Sonia's face. She held her face tightly as she slowly tilted her head to give Eric a stern look.“Keep the name of my wife out of your dirty mouth,” Eric said in a low but sharp tone as he stared deeply into her eyes. Samantha only watched in shock, as she had never seen him in such an angry mood before. The whole place went silent as everyone was trying to make sense of what was happening. Eric tilted his head to look at the whole people whose attention was already on him, but he did not fret a bit about his action.“What did you do that for?” The waiter asked suddenly as he moved closer to Eric with a fist, but Eric only chuckled.“You slapped me?” Sonia said in a thunderous tone and by this time, the whole attention was turned towards them as everyone suspended their meal and watched them display like they were acting a drama. “Yes and I will do it again if you don't keep her name out of your god-damned mouth.

Darius arrived at their house after a while. He had a straight face as he did not come to play with them.“Come in,” Rachael said in a low tone as she gestured to him to walk into the sitting room. Darius gave her a straight look briefly before heaving a sigh as he deliberated on whether to go in or just tell them what he wanted to tell them at the door and go his way. He finally decided to go in, and he walked in slowly as if he were counting his steps as he walked in.“What can I offer you?” Rachael said hurriedly as she walked towards him. Darius tilted his head to look at her, thinking of what to say before Michael walked into the sitting room, as he acted as if he was shocked to see him sitting.“Oh hey! I did not know that you were coming over,” Michael said as he slowly walked towards them, holding his hands in front and trying to hide his fear.“Well, I am here now, and I don't need to announce the reason that I am here. I am sure you both know the exact reason I am here.” Da

“Did you just ask me to leave?” Michael managed to say, and Darius gave a nod, pointing towards the door. Michael knew better not to say any more words as he only stared at him, hoping that he would be able to change his mind, but that was a dream that would never come true. He heaved a sigh as he turned around to leave, and just then he stopped abruptly as he heard Darius clear his throat slightly to talk. He hoped that he wanted to tell him that he changed his mind, so he waited anxiously to hear what he had to say.“Don't forget that you have eaten well into your twenty-four hours. I wonder how you will be able to source for forty million dollars before nightfall. Anyway, that's for you to worry about.” Darius said slowly, and Michael's heart was completely shattered as he heard what he had just said. He was not ready to go back on his words. Michael heaved a sigh of frustration as he walked out of the office slowly. He could not help but notice that there were a lot of changes in

“Honey, I am ho…” Eric said but slowly came to a halt immediately he noticed the presence of Michael in his sitting room. His walking pace became slow as he tilted his head to look at his wife and then back at Michael. He heaved a sigh as he approached them, pulling his wife into a warm embrace and giving her a kiss on her forehead. “Welcome baby. How was work today?” She said in a low tone as he withdrew slowly from his embrace.“What's going on here? Why is he here?” Eric asked in a sharp tone, and Samantha could not help but heaved a sigh as she shrugged, not knowing what to say.“He just showed up a moment ago and began to act all wired and nice.” She whispered to him, and Eric heaved a sigh as he tilted his head to look at Michael, who had a slight smile on his face. “Welcome home Eric.” Michael greeted and waved a hand at him and that left Eric with a puzzled face as he did not know what was going on?“Why are you here?” Eric wasted no time, going straight to the point and ask
