She fired him because he told her husband what he heard inside the house some time ago” he explained everything further when he realised the officers’ interest had been piqued by the gateman’s outburst. Mmesoma: “It is a lie o. they are lying to you. There is no such girl in this house, do I look like a kidnapper to you? What will I use her to do when I already have everything I ...

The Reaper's loot (Episode 23) She dressed up to visit her friend who had introduced her to the herbalist some years ago so she could take her to another one. She knew her Indian charms had expired due to the broken mirror. She needed some other ones to keep Nneka in check and also to ensure her husband really lost his mind. Her plans were already on the verge of getting actualized and she didn’t want anything to jeopardize that. As she stepped out into the compound, she met the gate man whom she had fired and nine other Hausa men in the compound. Ever since he left, she always left the small gate open so her husband could open the gate himself whenever he was home. Mmesoma: “Yes? What do you filthy looking abokis looking for in my house?” she asked impatiently, looking from one angry looking man to another with boldness. Gateman: “Na she ve that. Na she be the wicked woman wey I tell una” he said referring to a better dressed young man who looked a little more educated t...

The Reaper's loot (Episode 22) Ifeoluwa: “Bola are you awake for real? Is this really you?” the joy in his eyes was unmistakable. Bola: “Don’t tell me you missed me that much? I think I must have missed you too, can you hug me for a bit please? don’t say no” she pleaded with him with half closed eyes. Ifeoluwa: “If only you know how much I have been wanting to hug you. If only you know how much I have to tell you. I can’t believe I am becoming emotional” he said as he hid his face in his hands trying to hide the tears which were glistening in them. Adunni stepped in with Bolu in her arms and on seeing her daughter sitting up, she almost threw the baby away out of joy but contained herself. She walked slowly towards the bed crying silently. Adunni: “Bola, is that you? Are you really awake?” she asked the same question Ife had asked feeling like she was in a nightmare she didn’t want to wake up from. Bola: “Yes mum. I am so glad that you are here. And my daughter too....

The Reaper's loot (Episode 21) "He is no longer looking the way he used to look while talking to me. What is going on? Is the charm expiring already? But the baba had told me it would last even until his death as long as I finish using it all on him? Did he lie to me?” she mused after he had left her presence. She had sensed the anger in him, something he should never have felt no matter what and besides, his questions were becoming too much, his ego was returning little by little and this bothered her to the core. She didn’t want him to regain his senses no matter what and now that she was on the verge of claiming all his properties and sharing it among her siblings, anything going on was unnegotiable for her. One thing she didn’t know was that the herbalist had given her the least potent of all his love potions. One that expired as soon as the powdery substance was used up. He had already regained his senses but had been playing along with her after getting to know h...

The Reaper's loot (Episode 20) He arranged for her to meet him in tantalizers at mobile so he could update her on the job she had given to him. as he sat at the last compartment waiting for her, he saw her strut in wearing a white and black stripped jumpsuit with a black tote handbag. He wondered why a woman as beautiful as she would indulge herself in such nefarious acts over a man. She could get any other man of her choice swooning at her feet if she so wished but there she was, trying to kill innocent people so she could feel better about herself. Angela: “Hope I did not keep you waiting for too long?” she drew a chair out and sat down without smiling. Francis: “Not for too long” he replied taking a bite of the meat pie he had ordered before her arrival. Angela: “So did you get the job done? Why did you ask for us to see here even after I ordered you to disappear when you’ve had it done?” she cast him a look of suspicion. Francis: “Its done with the baby but just a...

The Reaper's loot (Episode 19) Bola: “Ife please save me. He is going to kill me. He is already inside my ward and he is still deliberating on what to do. Can you still hear me?” Ife’s mind was so occupied by thoughts of his daughter that every other voice was blocked off from his mind while Adunni was being eaten up by guilt. Inside, she was beating herself up so much her heart had begun to bleed. She rushed back when she realised no one was paying heed to her and noticed Francis hovering over her. Francis: “Assuming you had agreed to my proposal now, will you be in this condition? Women and their pride sha. I would have taken good care of you and your child is now going to be killed too. What a pity!” he mumbled. Bola: “Please don’t do it Francis. I am sorry I did not accept your proposal but please spare my baby’s life” she pleaded. Francis: “But to think of it, I really like the girl o. Look at the way she is shining even on sick bed. I don’t think she deserves to die...

The Reaper's loot (Episode 18) She jerked awake when she heard the sudden honking of car horns outside the gate. Knowing it was Ife and forgetting the baby that was still inside the fridge, she rushed out to open the gate for him wondering why he was home that early. It was just 3pm. Ifeoluwa: “How is Bolu? He asked immediately he stepped out of the car. Angela: “Jeeeus!” she exclaimed and ran into the house but decided not to bring the baby out in his presence, fearing what he’d do to her if he found out she had refrigerated his daughter. Ifeoluwa: “What happened? Why did you exclaim like that?” he asked as fear gripped his heart. He went inside the room to check her but was surprised to see she wasn’t there. “So where is my daughter Angela?” he asked placing his hands on his waist praying she wouldn’t say something negative. Angela: “I don’t know, I had been sleeping when you arrived and now she is not in the room where I left her sleeping” he lips quivered. Ifeol...
