The bed chamber was just slightly different from the inner chamber. The bed chamber is orange-painted, it has a bed that can occupy a maximum of three persons, it has sets of furniture, it has a Samsung LED plasma television and other electronics, and it has natural and artificial ventilators. King Rehoboth was lying on the bed and was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn’t know when Cooper came into the room. Cooper moved close to the bed. “My king, you are worried,” Cooper said. “When did you get here? I thought I locked the door,” King Rehoboth said, and sat on one side of the bed. “My king, you didn’t lock the door; I have been standing for some seconds now and you didn’t notice my presence. What’s wrong, my king?” Cooper said. King Rehoboth looked at Cooper

Ethan was a good novel reader and hated being disturbed when reading. The small Ethan was so engrossed in reading. Often, he pronounced the new words aloud. After about ten minutes of reading, he heard someone’s voice behind the door. “Hello! Who is at home?” Emilia said. “Hold on! I am coming,” Ethan said. Ethan placed the novel on the couch, he adjusted his trousers, wore his slippers and walked in the direction of the door. “Good morning,” Emilia said. “Good morning; how may I help you?” Ethan said. “Actually, I am looking for Liam,” Ethan said with a smile. “Oh! Liam? I am sorry, he has gone out,” Ethan lied. “Did you just say Liam went out?” Emilia said. Ethan kept mute for about 10 seconds, looking at Emelia from head to toe. “What does this be

King Rehoboth had rounded the palace five times before Amelia knocked on the gate. “Hold on!” Xavier said. Xavier walked to the gate and opened it. He asked who Amelia was. “Who are you, please?” Xavier said. “I should be the one to ask who you are. This is my son-in-law’s residence. I want to see him,” Amelia said. “The king?!” Xavier said. “Yes, of course; or do you have other reasonable people in this palace?” Amelia said. “Watch your words, woman,” Xavier said angrily. “Hey…, you are blocking my way; let me pass,” Amelia said. Xavier didn’t allow Amelia to enter. Amelia started shouting and drew the attention of King Rehoboth. King Rehoboth and Dean walked to the front of the palace and could recognize Amelia from afar. “Dean, tell Xavier to leave Amelia alone,” King Rehoboth

He got out of the car, spat and walked into the building. When he entered the uncompleted building, he couldn’t find anyone. “Where could these guys be? But Charles asked me to come here; what’s going on?” professor MacPherson muttered. Professor MacPherson dialed Charles’ phone number, but it was not reachable. He walked to his car and drove to Charles’ house. He soon arrived at Charles’s house. He parked at the front of the house and walked to the door. He knocked on the door gently. “Hello!!

Please, who is on the line?” professor MacPherson said. “It’s Peyton, Charles’ wife,” Peyton said. “Oh! Peyton! How are you? How did you get my phone number?” Professor MacPherson said. “I am fine. Charles forwarded your phone number to me,” Peyton said calmly. “Charles? Is he back?” professor MacPherson said. “Not really; he sent your phone number as a message to my phone,” Peyton said. “Alright. I was at your house in the early hours of the morning,” Professor MacPherson said. “Margaret told me; that’s why I am calling you now. Is anything the problem?” Peyton said. “Not

The car moved gently from street to street. The car reached its destination and Dickson stopped the car. The gangsters alighted from the car and they walked to the hotel. They stood in front of the main entrance. The door had already been padlocked before they arrived. The gangsters couldn’t do anything, they walked back to where their car was parked. They entered the car and wound up the glasses. The gangsters slept off inside the car after removing their masks. The next morning, Dickson woke up first. He quickly woke the other guys. “Hello! Guys! Wake up!” Dickson said.

Trades were going on in this street between buyers and sellers. Dickson parked the car beside a signboard with the inscription “Beauty mall.” The gangsters came out of the car and began to disrupt the economic activities taking place between buyers and sellers. The armed men shot bullets into the air. There was a pandemonium and uproar in the street as passersby, traders and buyers began to get on their heels. Before this incident, the workers of beauty mall had already known the mall was unsafe since they saw broken doors and the scattered state of the mall when they started their day’s operations. The gangsters entered the mall and found no single soul there. T
❌ 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

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

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
