     CHAPTER ONE "Wait ooh, are you trying to tell me Dara hasn't said anything about the disagreement you had last week? " Desola asked with her hands akimbo and her lips pressing against each other. She was sitting on a sofa in the well furnished sitting room of her childhood friend Olamide and suddenly charged up when Mide mentioned something about Dara, Mide's fiance of 2years. "oh-oh-oh" Mide groaned, "Just sit down Desola, is that why you now got up like you just heard Osama Bin Laden is dead" She said sarcastically, then continued. "Listen Desola, I've known Dara for over 2 years and our relationship is going to 2 years now and i know he's not gonna apologize 'cause he sees nothing wrong with it". "He's sees nothing wrong in going against you reading a spiritual book? Wait Mide, are you supporting him? " asked Desola with an unbelievable tone. "of course not, that was what led to our...

CHAPTER 18 Feyi was met in a pool of her own blood. Apparently she fell from the stairs but whatever it was that happened before then was unknown to any of the people who came into the house. Nobody was seen in the house. Immediately, the policemen brought out their guns and started pacing the whole house systematically, as seen in the movies, like they were looking for an hardened criminal. Mr Jones and his wife were asked to leave the house since Mrs Jones won't stop sobbing and disturbing the police from doing their job. "What do you think you are doing Mr Man?". A red haired policeman said immediately he got into the room and met Kunle packing some clothes into a big suitcase in a hurry. He raised his gun at him and asked Kunle to surrender. "Please, I'm innocent please" he begged as an handcuff was used on him. The policeman escorted him downstairs and he was bundled into the van. Paramedics were called immediately to evacuate the corpse and ...

THE INSIGHT - CHAPTER 17

CHAPTER 17 "Dayo! Dayo!" she continued tapping and shaking her till she opened her eyes. She jerked and sat up suddenly, looking up and down the room like she was in a strange place. "Bola!" she called solemnly. "You were screaming Kunle's name from sleep". Bola sat down beside her on the bed. She had just returned from work and she met Dayo sleeping, she didn't want to disturb her so she got busy with some other things. Suddenly she heard her from the sitting room screaming Kunle's name. She came to meet her and tried to wake her up. "What's wrong?". The look on her face scared her and she couldn't wait to hear why she was screaming his name. "Do you have Kunle's U.S cellphone number?" Bola gave her a weird look. "How and why in the world will i have his number?" She suddenly got up and started pacing the room. "I think Kunle is in trouble" Bola's eyes were still o...

Chapter 16 "Sister Ifedayo" he called, then paused for few seconds. Dayo readjusted herself on the comfortable leather chair located opposite the Pastor's chair inside his office. His office is a spacious room with a giant AC placed in the left hand corner of the room. A big table and an office chair was placed in the center of the room which serves as the Pastor's working place. Two leather chairs meant for visitors are placed facing the Pastor's chair. On the right hand side of the Pastor's chair is a mini fridge filled with assorted drinks and a tray of cups is placed on the fridge. The red carpet that floored the room made it more attractive and ravishing. "What is it you've been asking the holy spirit? He made me understand that you want a reply to a particular question. What is the question or what are the questions? He said you should ask them now cause you are getting all your answers today" Dayo sighed, then placed her h...

THE INSIGHT - CHAPTER 15

CHAPTER 15 The journey to the U.S was the most stressful journey Kunle had ever embarked on, being his first time. He checked Feyi beside him and he smiled as the latter put her head on his shoulder and fell into a deep sleep. He wanted to adjust her well on the comfortable chair of the first class coach they were but he struggled to find the button to make the chair be in a sleeping position. The air hostess noticed what he’s going through and came to his aid. She smiled and showed him where the button is, he thanked her and adjusted the chair for Feyi. He saw a mini blanket tucked under the chair and covered her with it. Few hours later, the pilot announced over the microphone that they are in Washington DC and will be landing in few minutes. Feyi was awake by this time. Kunle got tired of looking out of the window into the dark and later fell asleep. Feyi tapped him abruptly, not even minding the stress they’ve been through for the past few days trying to sort out his trave...

THE INSIGHT - CHAPTER 14

CHAPTER 14 Feyi looked up. She was so ready for this. She cleared her throat, dropped the glass cup she was holding, and smiled mischievously. Dayo was just there, like she was in a trance. Surely, John's grip on her was enough to restrain her, but not enough to stop the demon that had taken possession of her from making her land a hot slap on Feyi's face. John charged after her, but it was already too late. The deed had been done. The slap was so loud that Pa Josh and Kunle felt it in the other room. They both charged into the sitting room, and Kunle was fast enough to hold Feyi from retaliating. "Oh my God! Baby, leave me alone and let me deal with this good for nothing housemaid." She screamed. Dayo burst into tears, but the tears were nothing compared to the hurt she was feeling. Her heart was tearing apart. "Dayo, what in God's name are you doing here?" Kunle blurted out. He had wanted to save Dayo the trouble of getting so heartbroke...
