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
Epic 68“She is the one”. I said slowly.“Put it on loudspeaker”. Dinma mumbled.“I don't have the strength for that now”. I mumbled.“Is it because of me?”. Dinma said as I began to wipe her tears.“You don't have to worry too much? It isn't about you. I just don't have the strength for her calls”. I saidWithout any more words, tears started dropping from Dinma's eyes, I had cold feet and couldn't even move.“Can you for one second not think about this thing please!”. I said to Dinma who just wrapped her hands around me.“I just want to go home”. She said as Leo looked at me weirdly.“What did the doctor say about her going home?”. Leo asked as I took in a deep breath.“He didn't say anything about her going home but since the case is about her being flown out of the country then I see no reason for us to remain at the hospital”. “you should go make proper inquiries about that then”. Leo said as I left the room.After much inquiry from the doctor, he said that Dinma could go home
Epic 69Just like in the movie scene Lisa and I kept staring at each other without even exchanging anything.I pleaded with one of the guys to let us go but he refused so I had to come up with an idea that I hoped would work for us.while Lisa got tired of looking at me and crying. She slept off on the chair.“I need to ease myself”. I said to one of the guys who pretended not to hear what I said.“I said I need to use the restroom”. I said again but in a deeper and angry tone.“I don't know what your plan is but you're not going anywhere, sit there and pee on yourself”. The horrible-looking guys said.“I cannot pee on myself, I need to use the restroom immediately”. I said angrily, but yet he refused to listen to me.After so much complaining, one of the guys got tired of my silly attitude and decided to take me to the restroom.It wasn't completely a restroom per se, as the big building was still very much an uncompleted one. so they took me to a little corner where I had to ease my
Epic 71I screamed so loud in pain that I didn't even know when I hit her with the edge of my gun. “You must be crazy, thinking you'd do away with this”. I exclaimed while still in deep pain.“I am not afraid of anything, let alone a mere church rat. Now you have me in your custody, treat me to your satisfaction because If I am to get out of here, it will be a merciless death for you”. She said as I kept looking at her in pain“You know, I am happy to die now, I am happy I killed all my enemies, before ending this sorrowful life”. She said while laughing.“Yeah, you did a good job, it is such an awesome achievement. Don't you think so?”. I said while smiling.“Very awesome! About Benjamin?”. She let out a loud laugh as my heart began to tremble.“What happened to him? I know all you did to him, or should I say us?”. I said as she smiled at me.“You feel you know enough, don't you?”. She mumbled again, laughing.“I may not know enough, but from the little which I can testify, you are
Epic 71Leo seemed to have heard my shout as he immediately ran inside.sighting the full of blood that was rushing out of my head Leo immediately attacked my aunty, while I struggled to catch my breath. It was indeed a tough fight between Leo and my aunt. I didn't know a woman could have such strength. I almost pitied Leo at some point. But, I couldn't stand up to join them in the fight, I was still struggling to stop myself from bleeding too much.While I sat down, and observe the two of them fighting, I noticed she carried up a heavy stone to hit Leo, I had to scream his name, for him to dodge it, and on the same ground, I used the last strength in me to carry up a heavy wooden stick and landed it on her head. She screamed so much in pain, as she tried to attack me, but Leo quickly hit her.We joined forces together and put her in her place.Blood was coming out of her nose and mouth, and she began to pant profusely, even though she kept laughing at us as if whatever pain it was sh
Epic 1My name is Angel, and the bitter part of my story is that I can't forget what happened to me in 2001. As a young girl child, struggling to survive in the city of Lagos with my blind father who was trying his possible best to put food on the table with his shoemaking business, even as a blind man, my father was still very creative, even with how busy Lagos can be, filled with a lot of traders, papa's own still happened to be the best, Customer's kept trooping in and out of his shop.I was told that my mum is a great prostitute, she left dad after giving birth to my other sister Chidinma, while Papa was struggling with our survival, he got into an accident that affected his eyes, leading to his blindness. While Chidinma stays at the shop with Papa to help him out with the calculation of money, and also to avoid counterfeits. I go up to the big market to trade. Agile and bold, I kept surviving in the dreadful city of Lagos, Lagos is not a place where you survive with cold feet. W

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”.

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
