Are we not there?” Jeremy said and hit Louise’s head. “We are not there, but we are almost there,” Louise said, holding his head. “Dickson, be watchful of that bus,” Charles said. “Alright, boss,” Dickson said. After about 45 minutes, the car finally reached Government Reserved Area 3. There were different types of beautiful houses. “Just a little move…,” Louise said. The car was parked in the front of a fenceless mansion surrounded by ornamental crops. The gangsters dragged Louise out of the car. “Young men, what are you doing to professor Louise?” one caring neighbor, Brayden, said and moved closer to the gangsters. “And how does that concern you, soothsayer?” Dickson said and grimaced. “Are you mad? What has my neighbor done?” Brayden said. “You must be kind,” J

Stop that!!” the senior palace guard, Dean, said and walked to the gate. As soon as the guard opened the gate, Adalyn came in and wanted to run into the palace, but was prevented by the guard. Dean knew that Adalyn was traumatized. He said, “Young lady, what happened?” “I am a shattered woman; I am here to show myself to the king before I finally strangle myself,” Adalyn said. “I am sorry for anything you may be passing through, but I don’t suggest suicide as an option. You should have waited for the morning before coming here, the king is already asleep, Dean said. “Guard!! Leave me alone!! Let me see my king!!” Adalyn said. “I am sorry, you cannot see the king now,” Dean said. Adalyn refused to yield to Dean.

I will teach you some magical languages; repeat after me; fiat lux! (Let there be light),” the Lord of the Moon said. “Fiat lux!” Sarah said and there was light everywhere. The astronauts were shocked. Everywhere was bright again and the astronauts could clearly see the Lord of the moon’s residence. “Sara

Everyone was silent in the car until the king’s driver, Gavin, spoke. “Are we not there?” he said. “No, sir; please, join the other route,” Adalyn said, sitting beside the king at the back. “Okay,” Gavin said, and joined the other route. About 30 minutes later “Stop the car in front of that fenceless mansion with ornamental crops,” Adalyn said. “Alright…,” Gavin said. He stopped the car in front of Adalyn’s mansion. The king and others alighted from the vehicle. They could see dead bodies all over the street. “Oh, my goodness!! See corpses everywhere!” King Rehoboth said. “Almost everyone living here has been killed, my king,” Adalyn said. Adalyn took the king into the mansion. The smell in the house was so great that the king couldn’t tolerate it. “I have seen everything; let’s move out,” King Re

The guards were worried about this kind of seldom call up. “Greetings to the royal family!” the guards chorused. “Greetings to you all. How has been your day?” King Rehoboth said. “It has been fine, our king,” the guard said humbly. “I love that. Gavin, you can go now,” King Rehoboth said. “Alright, my king,” Gavin said and walked away. “I summoned you all here for some reason. You are undoubtedly aware of what transpired at the palace last night, am I right?” King Rehoboth said. “Yes, my king,” the guards said. “Good. We were at the scene where the incident took place; there is nothing to write about,” King Rehoboth said. “We are sorry, our king,” Dean said. “The corpses have been conveyed to the hospital now,” King Rehoboth said. “This is bad…,” Leo said. “Leo, call Adalyn for me,” king Rehoboth s

She walked towards the direction of the door and opened it. “How are you, Ayla?” Evelyn said. “I not fine, ma,” Ayla said. “Your mum?!” Evelyn said. “Yes, I have been calling her since, I even dialed her phone number, but her phone was switched off,” Ayla said. “Your mum has been carried away by some unknown men,” Evelyn said. “What?!

The guards ruthlessly dragged Charlotte into the palace. Charlotte screamed continuously, but the guards didn’t allow her to escape. “It’s okay…, stop dragging her,” King Rehoboth said as the guards and others entered the palace. They walked towards the throne. “I acknowledge my monarchs,” Charlotte said with her knees down. “Stand up!!

The battle line has been drawn, and it’s time to fight the Americans,” King Achilles said. “We accede to that, my king,” Belen said as everyone’s mouthpiece. “I know we shall be called Nicholas!” Kyril said. “The Americans will now know the difference between a mother and a child,” Basil said, and everyone laughed. “I will not be around at the Water of Life to meet Caesar, the long-haired man.

❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Davies was sitting on a couch in the sitting room. It was a hot afternoon. He was sipping a cold wine as he gazed at the television. Before Magdalene and her baby, Edwin and Alfred left home in the morning, Magdalene told Davies to tidy up the clutter and clean the bathroom. As soon as Davies ate his breakfast, he tidied up the clutter. He started from the sitting room. Next, he tidied the clutter of Edwin’s room before he tidied his own room. He cleaned the bathrooms and toilets with soapy water. The work was too much for Davies, so he felt tired. He was so engrossed in the television when he heard the buzzing sound of the buzzer. He muttered some words before he stood up from the couch. It was then that he realized that he was still tired after the morning engagements. He was so excited about seeing Liam. He closed the door gently when Liam entered. The twosome exchanged pleasantries as they walked in the direction of the sett
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Davies was so happy when he received the call in the morning that Magdalene had given birth to a bouncy baby boy. He had gone to take his bath. When he returned to his room, he glanced through his phone’s screen and saw two missed calls. He became worried when he discovered that Alfred was the caller. He wondered why Alfred would call him in the morning. However, when Gino and Gina came into the room, he borrowed Gino’s phone and gave Alfred two peep calls. Luckily, Alfred called Gino’s number. Alfred never knew who owned the phone number, so Davies quickly introduced himself.“Magdalene has given birth to a bouncy baby boy.” These were Alfred’s words before he cut the call that morning. Davies was sitting under the marquee. It just rained so everywhere looked wet. Davies dialed Gina’s number and waited for Gina to pick up the call. When Gina picked up the call, they exchanged pleasantries. “I am under the marquee we hosted my

Magdalene had gone to the mall on Saturday to buy food items, because Davies would be resuming school today. When Magdalene got home that day, he showed Davies everything he had bought. Davies took a gaze at the food items. They were majorly what he wanted. He thanked Magdalene.“I hope you have put the food items inside the car’s boot?” Magdalene said gently.“Yes, mum. I finished that some minutes ago. Have you eaten your food?”“No. I will eat my food when I come back. It’s time we went. You shouldn’t be late on your first day at school.”“Before we go, mum, can I tell you something?”“Alright. Be very fast.”“Edwin told me you rarely eat…”“He did?” Magdalene cut in.“Yeah. Please, ensure you eat often because of the baby. I wouldn’t want you to have a miscarriage.”“Miscarriage? Well, yo

As soon as the chiefs saw him, they greeted him. The king replied to them before he sat down. A guard stood on the left and held the king’s office staff while the other guard stood on the right.“I have called you here today because of our last discussion,” King Rehoboth said.“With all humility my king, you mean the discussion about Alfred?” Cooper said, standing up.“Yeah. You have a retentive memory.” King Rehoboth smiled. “I have decided that we will help Alfred and his son with money, so that the surgery can be carried out on them.”“From an African adage, my king, a man doesn’t gulp down the hand that feeds it. Alfred has been a backbone to this state. He risked his dear life just to see that others were happy. I think this is the best time we can show our appreciation to him. We mustn’t let him be handica
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ When Magdalene got home, she changed her clothes and sat down on one of the couches. She had branched to the mall to buy popcorn and groundnuts as soon as she left Edwin’s school. She took out the popcorn and the groundnut from the bag and started consuming them. After she consumed everything, she became bored. She turned on the television and started gazing at the actions displayed on the television screen. It was an episodic film. Magdalene had watched the first and the second episodes of the film. The actions of the film hadn’t reached the climax, so she had hoped to watch the third episode of the film one day. She visited the cassette store two days ago. She had gone to buy an interesting film when she saw the third episode of the film she had been longing to watch. Without any hesitation, she picked up the cassette and paid for it. It cost 15 USD. It was worth it because it was an interesting film. At exactly 9:13 am, Magdalene’s s

Different thoughts were running through her mind. She had left home for Sarah’s house in the morning. She told Sarah about her ordeal. Sarah was so shocked. She told Magdalene that Alfred and Davies had left for home the previous night. Magdalene became more worried. She had returned home and refused to eat. Edwin walked into the sitting room and met Magdalene. Edwin sat beside Magdalene and said, “Mum, you can’t continue like this. You taught me to pray in every situation, but here you are thinking. You don’t have to cause more havoc.”“I couldn’t take it anymore. I have tried Alfred’s and Davies’ phone numbers several times, but they weren’t going through. I hope nothing happens to them,” Magdalene said and couldn’t hold her tears. Edwin couldn’t control himself, he began to cry

The lights were charged via the energy from the sun in the day and when the night came, they illuminated everywhere. The lights were so bright that even when a pin fell down, it could easily be picked up. Despite the streetlights, there were still some nooks and crannies in California that experienced darkness because the streetlights couldn’t reach there. King Rehoboth dialogued with the citizens several times. He would tell them that he would create more streetlights for the state. The citizens would leave his palace happily. Yet, King Rehoboth hasn’t been able to create any streetlights. Rehoboth wasn’t a stingy man. He could give anything except his wives. He grew to love his wives. The major problem King Rehoboth had was financial problems. He did not have enough money to carry out such a project.“The proje

He wasn’t expecting any other people apart from Magdalene and Alfred, who had left for the hospital in the morning. He gathered a ray of hope that Magdalene and Alfred had returned home. To his greatest surprise, it was Liam. He grimaced, closed the door and they walked in the direction of the settees. Davies asked Liam what he would like to take, but Liam refused. Liam told Davies that he wasn’t famished. Davies pleaded with Liam to take cold water and Liam acceded to that wholeheartedly. Davies stood up from the settee and returned, holding a mug. He handed over the mug to Liam. Liam thanked him and emptied the mug before the twinkle of an eye. Davies knew the kind of friend he had. He knew Liam didn’t like to be disturbed when drinking water. So when Liam had finished drinking the water, he said, “Do

He had called Alfred one fateful morning and told him that he had finished his examination. Alfred had promised to come and pick him up next week. Davies stuck his bag to his back. He clutched his luggage. He greeted Gino and Gina before he left the hostel. Gino and Gina were identical twins, so it was difficult for people to differentiate them. They were international students from China. Actually, they weren’t citizens of China. They were citizens of America by birth. They had relocated with their parents to China in search of greener pastures. Many people never believed that they were Americans because they spoke the Chinese language most of the time. The few people close to them could easily identify them as Americans because of the color of their skin and hair. Davies was very angry when the housemaster introduced Gino and Gina as his roommat
