Unknown to the people who attended the secret sex party, there was someone taking pictures to blackmail the group.
STEPHANIE
Madam looked up at her and said nothing.
Steph took her time thinking if she should keep talking or just wait for some cue. She decided to wait, it was better that way. No one said a word, they both sat in silence staring at each other.
She knew Madam was itching to know who it could be but she wanted Steph to spit it out of her own accord but Steph also knew Madam had to be the one to get it out. One had to give in….
“Who is it?” Madam finally caved in. Steph took in a deep breathe before taking center stage.

“It’s Richmond, ma” She answered. She didn’t know what sort of reaction Madam was going to give away so she wasn’t surprised when Madam said or did nothing but just kept staring at her as if urging her to go on.
“This morning he called me into his office, and in not many long words was asking me to be exclusive with him. And when I was leaving, he also deliver a subtle threat if I responded to his request with a negative reply” Steph explained further.
And they both went into their silent communication mode once again. Steph knew she had put herself out on the line of fire but it was better to get it all out if Richmond was trying to blackmail her. But then,
“If Richmond is trying to blackmail you to succumb to his will, why would he send this to me? Have you asked yourself that question?” Madam asked.
And this time Steph wasn’t itching to give an explanation not because she didn’t want to but because she had absolutely none to give.
She hadn’t thought this through at all. Yes, why would Richmond send the pictures to Madam anyway? He wouldn’t want her involved considering they were also fucking each other. And besides why would he send the pictures out too in the first place considering he appeared in a few of them?
She really had not thought this through at all and now she had just played herself into Madam’s hand and she didn’t know how it was going to end but her gut told her this morning’s episode was definitely not going to end well for her.
“I,I am so sorry, ma. I really didn’t think of that” Steph admitted her mistake.
“Of course you didn’t because you are a slut with a good pussy doesn’t mean I have to be a fool for you. Richmond wouldn’t pull a stunt like this neither would he come for your ass when he is busy fucking mine.

Don’t get ahead of yourself, baby girl” Madam said with a cold stare that Steph could feel piercing her soul. She could feel goosebumps all over her skin.
“I didn’t mean it like that, ma. I was only relating all these to what transpired between him and I this morning”.
“I am sure you didn’t. Now if you prefer not to make further mockery of yourself. Get up and go get me Richmond and Lanre now”. Madam continued calmly.
“Yes ma” Steph didn’t know where or how she got the strength to stand up and walk out of Madam’s office but she knew she did it in record time. She kept rubbing her forehead as she went in search of the two men she had been ordered to bring in.
NIYI
“Do you want some more plantain?” Tara asked as Niyi grumbled for the umpteenth time.
“I am fine, this is enough. Just leave me alone”.
“I am sorry, I didn’t mean to push” Tara said with tears in her eyes as she took the plate out of his hand and placed it back by his bedside. She knew he hated been powerless and the longer he was kept in the hospital, the grumpier he was going to get.
She had already gone to speak to the doctor in private to ascertain how soon they could take him home. She wouldn’t mind him been treated at home, at least that way he would feel in charge as he always wants to be.
The doctor had told her it would take at least two days before he was let go. He could go continue his treatment at home. This was day one so she knew she had twenty four more hours of torture to go through. She would survive, she had to survive, and she had to be strong for him.

“Aren’t you meant to be at work?” He asked her.
“I already called to inform them I would be needing a few days off”. She answered.
“A few days for what?!” He asked angrily.
She didn’t want to give a reply to that because she knew the answer would piss him off further. Did she think he was a child that would need days and days of tender care? That was definitely going to be his reasoning. And she knew he hated being thought of as incapable. So, she just sighed and said
“I just need a few days to myself and work on somethings.” she lied
“What things?” He was baiting her and she knew it.
“Niyi, I am sorry. I need to get a cup of coffee” She walked out of the room knowing that he was staring angrily at her. As she was out of the door she leaned against the door and let the tears roll down freely.
What was happening to her? Who would save her? She had heard and seen lots of women in abusive relationships and had always asked why they couldn’t just walk away. They never gave a reasonable answer and now she was in their shoes and couldn’t give one either.
She looked up at the ceiling perhaps hoping that the answer would come from there. Nothing.
“Excuse me, ma” She hadn’t noticed the nurse who had walked up to her side some seconds ago.
“Are you alright?” the nurse asked with true concern.

“Yes, yes I am fine” Tara answered as she wiped the tears off her face.
“I am sorry, he would be fine. You have a guest at the reception”. The nurse said.
“A guest, did he or she give a name?”
“Yes he did. He said he is Wole your cousin”.
“Oh my God. Thank you” Tara said as she rushed past the nurse and towards the reception.
How had Wole known she was at the hospital? Ohh of course, she had called her mother this morning to tell her about Niyi’s condition.
But when had Wole gotten back? He was her favourite cousin or basically her only cousin from her father’s side of the Family. They had always been close and even when he moved out of the country to further his basketball career, they still kept in touch. She had no idea he was in the country.
As she stepped into the reception and saw her six foot five body , she ran into his arms and before she could stop herself, the tears came out flowing in full force.
“Please, tell me those are tears of joy” Wole inquired.
