Do I know you? Asked the perplexed Stanley Neither do I know you.. Claire replied laughing Why did you peck me huh,do you know I can sue you for..... You are the gay everyone has been talking about right? Claire mocked Stanley stared at her with his mouth widely opened Who's she? He asked himself as he swallowed a lump of saliva Claire squatted, she rubbed his mustache and smiled You're too handsome to be a homosexual, everyone seems to be talking about you and Ella knows already that was why she called off the wedding be careful... Claire said She stood up and left him depressed Stanley stood up from where he has been sitting and rushed to meet Chike but he was out with Stella Ella was already in the parlour with Claire When are you leaving? Claire asked her I don't know yet Claire,I need to expose them before I leave the country but how...I even created a porn site but I had to block it because I don't have the mind.. Ella spoke as tears gushed down her pretty face This isn't the time to cry Ella,I want you to do something for me.. Claire requested What? Go to the alter with him... Said Claire Claire I can't look at this guy on the face,I hate him with my full chest, over my dead body will I walk down the aisle with Stanley I rather kill myself... replied Ella Claire didn't say a word again, she kept on nodding and glancing at Stanley who was sitting on the stairs But will Stanley involve himself.... It's okay Claire,I'm just tired.. Ella interrupted I'll be leaving soon,I have other things to do.. Replied Claire Chike and Stella came back late at night, Stanley lay on the couch waiting for them Ella was already sleeping in her room Stella tapped Stanley Stanley sat down looking at Chike Chike we need to talk! He said calmly Talk about what? Questioned Chike I said we need to talk, don't ask me questions please...He shouted I asked talk about what you're barking, please shit let me pass.. Chike shouted back at him Stella laughed out loud and dragged Chike upstairs hailing him Ella stood beside her door crying and peeping at Stanley who was just treated like a nobody Stanley stood up from the couch and went to bed,he sobbed until he slept off Stella it's time to leave... Stanley told her the next day Time to leave you said? Seems like you want me to expose you right? Stella shouted Stella please leave, you collected six million from me and I still need more Stanley.. She replied Stella I'm going nuts, you can't do this again, just leave please.. Begged Stanley You're really funny Stanley, Stanley I'm going nowhere,I'll stay here and put to bed You will take of me, the child and Chike too.. What are you talking about? My accounts are drying up...Complained Stanley It's non of my business uncle Stanley.. she responded and left the devasted Stanley Stanley stood looking at her like a ghost, Ella walked up to him Are you okay? She asked smiling Yes, I'm fine.. he replied Is there something you ain't telling me? Ella please we need to talk, please Ella... Said Stanley About what? You sound like someone who's being..... Ella it's a long story! Stanley's phone beeped,he opened the message from an unknown number The message displayed his nudes and his face too What's it? Ella asked Erm, nothing...He replied and ran to his room Mum,I can't marry Ella... there's a big problem going on in that house which no one knows... Chike told his mum Chike you're daring me... his mom screamed Mum, Ella and Stanley are traumatized, they're going through a lot likewise me here Okay, do you know why the wedding was cancelled? Chike said I don't care Chike.. she replied Please I'm leaving this house since you don't want to give me listening ears,I don't even know the kind of mother you are...Fumed Chike as he tried to carry his bag His mother landed a slap on his face Mum I don't like this, don't touch me again... Chike warned Oh you have grown wings right? Do you know I can disfigure you right here? Her shouted trying to twist chike's fingers Get your filthy hands off me! Chike said and pushed her aside, his mum fell with full force and landed on the floor which led to her hitting her head on the wall She bled from the nose and gave up the ghost Chike looked closely at his mum who wasn't breathing anymore,he became scared and ran out of the house making sure no one sees him Marry Ella, marry Ella now marry Ella has killed you..He said to himself How much do you want for you to get my videos out of your phone? Stanley asked the unknown number Ten million naira Mr Stanley... replied the masculine voice Ten what???? Stanley screamed I'm giving you three days to send the money if not everyone will see your nudes and sextapes... Said the masculine voice What's the matter? Ella asked dishing out his food Ella I'm finished,why are they blackmailing only me? Chike was cropped out of the video..he cried What are you talking about? Ella asked again pretending not to knowing about anything Nothing Ella,I'll sort myself out...He replied and rushed outside to meet Chike who was enjoying himself under the car garage Chike we did that together why is the video displaying only my face? Why was your head cropped out? He shouted What's my business Stanley? I don't even know what you're capping.. Chike said and turned to leave but Ella pulled him from the behind You know everything he's talking about, you're requesting for ten million naira you haven't even smelt before.. Ella shouted And what do you mean? Stella retorted Stella you're a witch,I know your plans and I promise you that you won't get away with al.. Shut up Ella,did I chase you... she interrupted Don't ever you shut me up again or else you will leave this house right now.. Ella warned pointing fingers at her Ella I'll be the one to send you out of this house,I have come to stay I'm going nowhere,oh he didn't tell you that I'm carrying his child? Ella fainted 😂 Stanley sat close to Ella who was crying after recovering from the shock, she can't fight Stella and Chike anymore because Stanley has messed everything up I'm sorry it wasn't intentional... Stanley pleaded Sorry for yourself, how could you Stanley? How do I even help you to fight them when that monster is carrying your child People are threatening you with your nudes, your sextapes Ain't you ashamed of yourself? You have me but you chose to be gay, frolicking with same gender Stanley, imagine your parent hearing about this useless attitude of yours.. Ella scolded him Chike pushed me, it's a long story Ella.. Said Stanley For how many years did we date, you didn't even bother to let me know about it You have paid my bride price and your next plan is to take me to the alter, pretending to be who you are not... Stanley bowed his head and sobbed like a kid This isn't the time to cry,you better find a solution to your problem, your account is now crying...you messed up Stanley.. Ella shouted hitting him hard on the head Stanley stood up and left her, immediately he left Stella walked in majestically What do you want from me? Ella asked sitting up I just want you to leave the room.. She replied Ella smiled and nodded How do you feel seeing your fel..... I feel good Ella, Ella I feel very good now leave.. Stella commanded Stella have you forgotten how you murdered your father? Asked Ella smiling You did Ella... Stella retorted You murdered him,I still have my evidence... She replied You have no evidence Ella,I deleted those things long time ago... said Stella You have overstayed your welcome in this house, it's time for you to leave.. Ella told her I am going nowhere.. Stella shouted and climbed the bed I'll push you down, do you want to die? Ella barked trying to choke her Get your hands off me Ella, leave me alone you murder.. Stella replied defending herself Ella dragged her out of the room, she was about dragging her downstairs when Chike rushed and pushed Ella down Do you want to kill her? Chike screamed What is happening here? Stanley's mum asked Good morning ma, when did you come back? Greeted Ella I just saw you drag this lady by the hair, do you want to kill her? She asked We were playing mummy.. Stella responded What an expensive play, where's Stanley? She asked looking around Mum I'm here..he replied from the dinning room She walked up to him and sat beside him You look lean, what is the problem? Mum I'm fine just that I've been sick for weeks now...he replied with his eyes glued to his phone This sickness has really tortured you, have you gone to see doctor Khan? Mrs Dike asked Yes mum,I'm recovering..he replied What happened to the family's account? Mum! Stanley called Don't tell me you spent all the money in that account Mum I didn't touch it,I haven't even... Stanley something is eating you up,is it about Ella? You can still take her to church.... Said Mrs Dike I will..he replied Stanley was about making transfer of ten million to the account the unknown number sent yesterday when Ella collected his phone from behind You want to send ten million naira to Chike... Ella asked the moment she noticed that Mrs Dike has gone Yes! He responded You're very stupid... She said and left with the phone The unknown number called and Ella answered Do you want me to post this video Mr Stanley? The voice asked Post it,I dare you to post it, you want to collect ten million, have you seen ten million naira before? Money you didn't work for... Ella said and switched the phone off Chike's father took his wife to the mortuary, he came back from work in the night and called out to his wife but she didn't answer He decided to check chike's room and found her lying lifeless He called the ambulance which took her to the mortuary immediately,he called Chike and other members of the family and broke the news of his wife demise to them Chike sat pale, trying to recall how he pushed his mum that evening He sobbed uncontrollably as Stella consoled him His mum's face kept on displaying in his eyes,he ran inside and shutted the door behind him Mum it wasn't intentional..he cried What do you mean by it wasn't intentional Chike? You mean you have a hand in your mother's death? Stella scolded Did I say something like that? Have you been eavesdropping on me? Chike asked scared You killed your mum? Asked Stella Stella please sit, it's not what you think.. okay,I'll give you details of everything that happened... Said Chike Stella took a deep breath and sat beside him eager to hear whatever he has to say My mum never wanted me to marry you, she wants me to get married to Ella just because of her parents wealth but I refused Stella, the last time I came back to pick something she was hitting me I asked her to stop, she continued hitting me I mistakenly pushed her I never knew she was going to die, Stella believe me she's my mum,I can't kill her...He cried She knows Ella was getting married to Stanley right? Stella asked She was aware..He replied And still persuaded you to marry someone who was about getting married... Stella said Chike nodded It's fine Chike, it's gonna be a secret between you and I Thank you,I love you so much I can't wait to leave this country with you..he told her I just pray Stanley sends the money.. she replied Are you daft? Can't you see they want to ruin me? Can't you see my sextapes are beginning to.... Just shut up Stanley, you ain't ashamed of yourself,you brought this upon yourself.. Ella told him Ella held her head, she picked her phone and left the compound Not quite long, Stanley unlocked his phone to check his WhatsApp and saw messages from people including his parent and siblings Ella saw her husband's nudes and sextapes flying on social media, she was mad She was loosing it, she ran back home and saw Stanley arranging a rope He was about commiting suicide Stanley please get down, don't do this,I'll stay with you... Ella cried holding him on the leg Stanley's parents rushed in, his mum rushed and held him Stanley! She screamed Mum please let me go...He cried You can't take your life Stanley, please step down, please don't do this... His dad pleaded Stanley jumped down and lay on the floor crying, pouring out his heart It's okay Stanley,I'm not going anywhere I'll stay with you.. Ella assured How come you suddenly turned to gay Stanley? His father asked Dad I can't tell, Chike introduced me into doing it.. Replied Stanley Chike your best friend? I learnt he left the country yesterday... Said Ella Chike is at home, his father's house mourning his late mum, Chike didn't go anywhere... Stanley chipped He should be arrested then.. Stanley's mum suggested He is mourning his mother... Ella said Mother he murdered? Stella said from behind What did you just say? Ella asked as she turned to look at Stella He murdered his mum..Stella spoke Please enough of all these your lies, just leave my house.. Stanley commanded I am going nowhere,I'm carrying your child.. Whose child? Stanley's mum asked smiling I'm pregnant for him.. she replied Mrs Dike hugged her tightly and promised to take care of her and the baby You're getting married to Stella as soon as possible... She said smiling Mum this isn't what we were talking about...I can't even go out again because of the leaked video You want me to go to church with Stella,oh no I'm married already... Stanley said Since you paid her bride price has she ever gotten pregnant? What are you even saying? Alice we were talking about my son before this lady walked in,my company,my reputation everything is going to crash just because of him...Mr Dike shouted Dad I know I messed up but you don't have to blame me, Chike lured me Remember I once had phobia for all those things...He said almost tearing up You just changed overnight, the family account has gone dry in few days now Oh God! Dad please I promise to change... Begged Stanley Mr Dike left followed by his wife Chike on the other hand has been blackmailed too by an unknown person He was to make a transaction of three million naira within three days or everyone will know the outcome of his mother's death The unknown person sent him the video of how he pushed his mum Where do I get three million from? Babe I'm just tired,who is doing this to me? Chike cried I'm scared myself,I don't even know what's happening... Stella said tearing up What about the six million you once collected from Stanley,has it finished? Chike asked Don't even mention it, that six million belongs to me and it's for me alone... Stella shouted Can't you save your husband to be from this mess? Stella you want me to rot in jail? You deserve it Chike,I don't have any money to give you.. She replied Ella knocked and came in looking at them from head to toe My wedding is next week! She announced Congratulations.. Chike said and left the room You actually getting married to a gay? Stella asked But you wanted to marry him, I've decided to marry him since he has paid my bride price.. Said Ella Are you sure you want to do.... Claire will be here soon,you and Chike won't be in this room anymore you guys should move to the last floor... Ella instructed not looking at her face What do you mean? I don't like it whenever I repeat myself, I've given you my words.. Ella told her and left This girl is already getting me pissed off...Stella murmured Not quite long, Claire came in with her bag... she hugged Ella and fell on the couch You posted my husband's nudes 😩... Ella spoke the moment she made sure the doors were locked Your husband's nudes? I don't even have them.. Claire defended herself Let me have your phone.... Claire handed the phone to her with shaky hands So who posted Stanley's nudes? Ella asked I don't know.. she replied collecting the phone from her It's fine! Ella said and went upstairs Jesus Christ, this girl nearly caught me... Claire screamed It's everything okay? Asked Stella from behind Yes,I guess you're Stella... chike's wife to be... Yes! You came for the wedding right? Asked Stella That's why I'm here.. She responded rubbing her palm together Have you seen the new update on social media? Stanley's nudes and sextapes No...I haven't seen it yet besides I don't have time for all those things.. she lied Oh, it's alright,you are welcome. Stanley stood beside his car waiting for Chike, the sun wasn't good on his skin He dialed chike's number Guy where are you? You asked me to wait here for over an hour now and you're still yet to get here.. Stanley scolded over the phone Please I'm sorry, it's traffic...He replied Within some minutes he appeared You kept me waiting, what about your car? Asked Stanley I sold it...He replied Why? Stanley I am being blackmailed for what I know nothing about, somebody is blackmailing me asking me to pay three million if not he/she is going to tell the whole world how I killed my mum... Complained Chike Did you kill your mum? Erm, it's not that I killed her, Stanley please I need only one million from you to complete the money... please help me... Chike begged You killed your mum right? Stanley asked again Erm,I only pushed her and she fell it wasn't intentional please help your brother.. Let me have the evidence? Stanley requested smiling Chike didn't hesitate to send him the video (Foolish human being didn't think twice before letting out the video) Okay! Chike I'm giving you only but six days to send ten million naira to my account or else I'll post this video on all social media handles... Stanley threatened I didn't hear you well.. Chike screamed Get down from my car! Stanley commanded pushing him out of the car Stanley zoomed off immediately praising himself Chike stood staring into space,he shook his head and left the area He looked depressed and tattered at the same time Where do I get ten million naira from? He kept on asking himself He got to Stanley's mansion,he covered his face while entering the building Stanley saw him and bursted out laughing,he approached him and removed his hands from his face I guess you now know how it feels to be threatened and blackmailed,six days Chike... Stanley spoke But you have always been a brother to me,I haven't blackmailed you before.. Chike said with a teary voice You took all my money away from me and you think I won't find out right? I'll face Stella when I'm done with you.. Stanley whispered I'm really sorry Stanley please don't do this to me.. Chike urged Stanley glanced at him for a moment,he sipped his wine and left the devasted Chike Ella sat pale staring at Stanley from head to toe, she sighed loudly and covered her mouth Her wedding was in two days time, Everyone avoided her.... She was getting pissed off and had to confront them She called a meeting that morning and apologized immensely to everyone she has wronged and pleaded with them to stop avoiding her My wedding is just in two days time and y'all are avoiding... it's not fair.. she spoke Nobody is avoiding you, you need to be alone and calm your head.. Claire said I'm not the type that stays alone which you all know, please stop avoiding me even my own husband Stanley stared at her,he stood up and left the table Seems like he is upset with you... Said Claire Stella cleared her throat, she took a deep breath and faced Ella Stanley isn't upset with you he just wants to find out the person who released his sextapes and nudes on the internet... Stella stated Are you mocking my man? Ella requisitioned I'm not mocking anyone, Ella stop pretending!!! Stella shouted Pretending over what initially? Have you gone nuts? Ella snarled Please I don't want to get angry this morning.. Stella warned Jesus Christ!! Ella exclammed What happened? Stella asked staring at her Ella picked her phone and stormed out of the parlour tears fell freely from her eyes Fake tears... Claire murmured She knows what she's doing don't mind her... Stella chipped I no follow you talk ooo... Claire said running upstairs Is the person still threatening you? Stella asked the perplexed Chike The worst is that another person is requesting for ten million within few days, Stella why can't you just bring out that six million naira and help me... Chike pleaded I've given it back to Stanley.. Stella replied Why? What for? How come? Chike questioned Because I was never pregnant for him,I just wanted to teach him a lesson... Replied Stella What about the video you posted? Chike asked The sextapes and nudes... I didn't post them,I was even surprised when I saw those things online... She responded Are you being serious Stella? I am finished!!! You don't have to be,I'll be leaving this house after the wedding... she said and left Chike The day of the wedding came, everyone sitted patiently waiting for the bride and dad to walk down the aisle The bride's father waited till no avail,he got a seat for himself and sat down still waiting for his daughter who has been in the toilet for minutes Stanley was sweating under AC after receiving a call from an unknown number He called one of his friends Williams who has been looking at him and nodding Let's track the number... Said Williams It's an unknown number Williams...He replied rubbing his palms Stella stood up from where she was sitting, she went into the toilet where Ella has been and dragged her out slapping her severally on the face Stella snatched her phone from her she threw it to Stanley who looked at it like "Why is she giving me the phone" Williams collected the phone What's going on? Voices echoed Jesus Christ!!! Stanley screamed Ella you have been the one blackmailing me, even posted my sextapes and nudes on the internet... Stanley shouted as everyone turned to look at her Ella why? Stanley's mum asked crying I've always known you to be the culprit Ella,I just kept quiet till this day... Said Stella I've been suspecting her all these while... Stanley remarked What are you reasons for doing those things? Asked the Reverend father They are homosexuals father!! Ella spoke Who? Chike and Stanley... she responded as everyone shouted You mean my son is gay? Chike's father asked And he killed his mother... Stella chipped People started murmuring and leaving the church arena at the same time Claire picked up her bag and left them You killed your dad!!!! Ella spoke pointing at Stella What's all these??? Shouted Williams They should be arrested immediately.. Stanley's siblings echoed The police arrived within some minutes and took Chike, Stella and Ella away I can't believe Ella could this to me 😭.. Stanley wept Likewise me.. His parents said at the same time Take heart bro... his siblings consoled Chike and Stella are indeed murders but Stella tried by revealing the true Ella to the whole world, she's really a beast with her pretty face... Stanley's elder brother spoke When everyone has gone to bed, Stanley searched for the rope he hid under the wardrobe and committed suicide leaving a note on the floor "Chike, Stella and Ella killed me" Lessons were learned,hearts were broken and new beginning emerged from the ashes of the past.... THE END
