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
Epic 65I was still contemplating and thinking if Micheal is turning now or maybe later, Michael was already dressed up and ready to go face my auntie single-handedly.“but you don't have the tracker yet you can't just go like that”. I mumbled before Michael looked at me with all disappointment.“oh my god, how can we forget something so crucial like that?!”. He said a bit annoyed.“don't worry I'll just have to rush down the street and get some”. Leo said while putting on his jacket and rushing out of the house.“I am sorry you're going through all this because of me I'm very very sorry”. I mumble to Michael who just looks at me and smiles.“You keep apologizing over every little thing. It is not your fault it is nobody's fault, maybe because of your auntie's selfish desire but don't worry we are going to beat her at her own game”. He said while smiling.Michael and I started gisting about the past and how life has treated him these past few days.“It's up to 30 minutes now, why is L
Epic 66I kept yelling inside the place where I was carried, I suppose that should be the back of a trunk. At some point when I got tired I just kept calm.“We are homeeee!”. She screamed all excited as she had me unfolded.Opening my eyes which were all blur, I could barely see where we were, not to talk of all the people that were around me. After some minutes when I finally got myself back, I was able to see clearly.“Where is this place?!”. I said equally as I got myself.“somewhere very far away from home, don't worry you are going to enjoy it here”. She laughed while trying to touch my hair but I snapped off her hands immediately.“don't touch me, you pathetic thing!”. I screamed angrily while turning around in search of Michael.“where is he? where did you take him to? Where is Michael?”. I said while looking around.“You talk too much and you ask so many questions. I do not have any business with you that is why I'm going to let you go, but you see your Sister, Michael you bet
Epic 67While we were still taking care of Dinma for her to fully recover, we haven't still heard from my aunt or Lisa. It was quite a rough week for both Leo and me as our communications were minimized.It was a great surprise as Chijioke visited us again at the hospital. I thought he was angry at me for risking his brother-in-law's life, and the life of the sister as well.“hi”. I said to him as he sat on one of the hospital chairs.“I'm sorry for what I'm making you pass through”. I said after a while of him not replying to me.“is not your fault you have done nothing wrong, how is your sister, hope she's recovering fast?”. He said, but, I could barely say a word.“yes I am, thank you for what you did for us I wonder what would have happened to all of us if you didn't show up with the police, God bless you richly”. Dinma who seemed to be eavesdropping on our conversation said.“is nothing to thank me about. everything that I did, I did it for my twin sister and I will not stop unti
