Epic 57I kept looking at Leo confused because I wasn't understanding what he was lamenting, and neither was I comfortable with his expression.“What is wrong? Just speak up. Who is the agent involved in this house?”. I said as he was also getting me confused.“Well, it is a friend”. He said as I nodded while anticipating more answers.“Is that all? He is a friend? What kind of friend is he?”. I said more anxious while noticing how scared he looked“I am sorry Angel”. He mumbled as my heart started beating fast. Another betrayal?! What is going on?“Sorry for what exactly?”. I said while trying to get hold of myself.“I don't know how to explain, but, I just hope you understand”. He said while starting to cry.“Well, you don't expect me to understand, when you haven't even given me an explanation as to why I am not supposed to be angry. Or are you also working for my Aunt?”. I said.“God forbid! Never will I!”. He screamed out immediately. At this point, my nerves calmed down. I don
Epic 58Just as planned, we woke up, as early as possible, and took off to the airport, even while Lisa was still sleeping. I wasn't myself until we got to the supposed house of people who are to be taking care of my daughter. I was pretty certain they saw how unhappy I was because I had cried immediately after we entered Imo State. I tried the best I could, just to make Lisa stop crying, while we were leaving, but she didn't. I just had to stay with her for some time, before we left after she slept off. Just while we got to the airport to book a flight, I got a call from the D.P.O leading to information about my sister and his wife. Because of the sudden demand, we had to return to the park, and not spend a day as we had planned.“You need to stop with your cry. Lisa will be okay, remember, this is for her good. I am pretty certain Lisa will never blame you for anything”. Leo said while we got into the car, and I bent my head crying.“People are watching, you need to pull yourself t
Epic 59“Why are you looking at me that way?”. Leo said after a while, as I started blushing.“Can we go back to the station?”. I mumbled in a low tone as he looked at me confused.“Do you mean Station or Prison?”. He said while still looking at me confused.“I mean the Station”. I mumbled shyly.“I thought you do not want to have anything to do with the station and the D.P.O again?”. He said as I just rolled my eyes.“Well, let's say that was my initial decision, but I have changed my mind”. I said as he kept looking at me confused.“This is all confusing. What happened? Why the sudden change? Aren't you angry anymore?”. He said as I managed to smile, hoping he could just stop asking so many questions and do a U-turn.“I just got a message from the D.P.O, that they have found her, so I need to go find out who, or what in particular they had found”. I said before Leo looked at me with confusion while focusing back on the road.I knew he was going to turn back, even though his heart wa
Epic 60“Aren't you going to say anything about Lisa?”. I finally opened up, after a long time.“I was waiting for you to ask”. He said as I looked at him surprised.“Are you serious right now?! This is something I have been asking since I walked into this dining! You know what...?”. I mumbled while relaxing a bit.“Let me not create an issue over this. Let me have it that I didn't ask for. But now, I am asking, ``what if you want to tell me about my daughter?”. I said calmly.“Sure. Let's not make it a big deal. Hope you are enjoying the meal by the way?”. He said with a supposed cute smile.“I am. Thanks for the meal, but can you just go straight to the point? I hope Lisa is fine anyways”. I said while drinking the tabled water which was placed on the table.“Sure. You look beautiful by the way”. He said as I looked at him while trying to understand where he was driving to.“What in the world are you talking about?”. I said while trying to hold back the burning heat in me.“I am say
Epic 61I was filled with many thoughts, as I stood up, and followed the policeman down to the D.P.O's office. “Is there a problem?”. I asked the officer.“When we get there, you will know”. He said as I even got more scared, but I didn't make it known.“Hello, Mrs. Angel”. The D.P.O mumbled, while Wheeling his chair to face me.“Hello”. I said in my mean tone, without even blushing, as he had done to me.“You may sit''. He mumbled as I looked at him, same with the policeman who was standing beside me, before sitting down.“Why am I called?”. I said while staring deep into the D.P.O's eyes.“I wasn't expecting you not to know”. He said laughing. Even with my confused expression, I still kept looking at the officer behind me.“It is obvious I don't know why I am called. Please! I am a mother, and I have a lot to do. You have to make this discussion snappy, if you don't have anything to say, do let me know so that I can find my way out, besides, I wasn't even done talking with my frie
Epic 62I anxiously kept looking at the D.P.O, while waiting for him to vomit whatever condition he had by heart.“That she would respect herself”. The D.P. O finally let out.“Of course. She will. She is deeply sorry, that is why we came back”. Leo said as I looked at him strangely.“If that is the case, come in then”. He said, while entering his office, as we followed him.“Have a seat”. He mumbled as Leo and I sat down. I kept looking around the office, I needed to make sure that there wasn't any secret CCTV in the room.“We were on a page. I seem to have forgotten about it, can you remind me?”. The D.P.O said while rotating around his chair.“Yeah, I seem to have forgotten as well, but let us handle the situation we have at hand”. Leo mumbled innocently.“What situation?”. He said with a pause from his swing, as he placed his hand on the table while looking at Leo and me strangely.“The reason why Angel came here ranting”. Leo mumbled as the D.P.O looked at me suspiciously.“Let h
Epic 63 Even though I acted harshly towards Leo, I was super filled with excitement, the joy of having Michael finally released from the prison is something that I don't know if I could contain having my head high and my eyes just fixed into thin air.No one can ever imagine the happiness the news has brought into my life. Indeed it's all such a peaceful and overwhelming day for me. The day didn't start so well but here it is ending so perfectly. Another thing I happened to be more concerned about was this, “is Michael aware of the wife's twin brother?!, if he is, why didn't you tell me about him?”. I said worriedly but had to shuffle it off. Anyways these are questions that should be answered tomorrow.While I was still having my head filled with thoughts, Leo knocked on my door.“come in”. I said.“Hey, I'm sorry, I know I have been a bit harsh towards you and I want to apologize”. he said while sitting beside the bed.“I may not have been the best of a friend these few days or yo
Epic 64getting home I was so excited that I just laid on the couch in the sitting room while waiting patiently for Leo to call me. I was so lost in thought that I slept off only to get woken up by Leo's phone call.“hey are you guys back I've been waiting for you since”. I said as I picked up the phone call.“We are on our way. guess what, Michael has been released”. Leo said so excitedly as I started jumping up from where I was.“Oh my god, this is good news, I am so so excited”. I let out.“Yeah, I can see that. You know what, you just have to prepare the best food for us because we are coming back with victory”. “I got you on this one boss”. I said while laughing.“We are already on our way. You should be fast with whatever it is that you are cooking because this is a call for celebration. See you in the next 30 minutes”. Leo said and ended the call.I was so excited that I had to rush into the kitchen and start preparing something.I kept humming different songs as I cooked the
