am so sorry Toke, I am sorry that I put you through this.’ Emma cried as they reached the door.

‘I do not regret what I did, I did it to save you from that evil woman that bore us.’ Toke planted a soft kiss on her cheek.
‘You ready?’ Emma asked.
‘Yes.’ Toke nodded.

The girls were about to open the door together when the door bell rang once again leaving them glued to the spot.

What if their blackmailer had come to kill them?

When Shola had texted the address, he’d believed she had made a mistake but the sight of her car in the driveway was a confirmation that indeed she lived here.
His heart was heavy as she stared at the low cost structures that were linearly arranged. This was the first time he would be visiting Toke, he’d expected her to live a luxurious life, as she was excellently paid back at Flames.

As he waited for her to answer the door, he realized he did not’t know much about TokeMelaye except the parts that were really visible. He knew that she was a beautiful woman, confident and smart but he did not’t know much about her personal life. He did not’t know if she had parents, or siblings or any family at all, somehow they had carefully avoided such conversations.
He could not’t blame her, they’d started their affair with a lot of rules, it had kicked off as something only sexual, now it was more. He was in love with her and he needed to know more about her.

He thought of his grandmother briefly and her absurd plan to make him marry his childhood friend, Bellena. Not that Bellena was a bad choice or a poor wife material, he just did not love her and she would never touch him in the way Toke did.

He suspected his grandmother had a part to play in her appearance in his office earlier. Bellena and he had lost touch for many years, he had been in love with her once, but she had chosen another man over him, making a mess of his love. Years after, she suddenly shows up and acts all caring and concerned…he had a feeling his grandmother was up to something but he was not sure.
He could not’t wait to set eyes on her beautiful face, he could not’t wait to tell her how much he loved to be with her. He knew it was fast, but he was willing to make her his wife, should she just say the word.

Dean was about to tap the doorbell the third time when the door opened slowly, with a creaking sound that suggested fear and hesitation to let him in.
What was this about?

‘Hello…’ Dean smiled as he spotted a face that resembled Toke.
The lady had a striking resemblance with his Toke, only that Toke was taller and more shapely, but their eyes were almost identical.
‘It’s not him.’ Emma held her breath and signalled her sister who’d been hiding behind the door to come forward.
Dean heard that, this made him wonder if Toke had been expecting another man just like his grandmother had suggested.
‘Who then?’ Toke whispered.
‘I don’t know, but he is very handsome…’ Emma returned her gaze to the delicious looking man before her.
His eyes were his most arresting figure; his face was too perfect to be real; how could one man be this handsome? He was tall, broad shouldered and well muscled, she found it difficult to take her eyes off of him.
‘Dean…’ Toke’s mouth fell open as she came forward, she was surprised to see him.
‘How did you…?’

‘Shola.’ He replied swiftly. He ran his eyes over her briefly, she was still as adorable as ever, but her eyes were reddened and puffy, which was a sign that she had been crying.
‘Baby…I saw your text, I don’t understand.’ Dean tilted her towards him.
Emma could not’t tear her eyes off this man, she now knew the reason her sister was totally hooked, and there was no was she would get over a man like Dean.
Quietly, like a mouse would do, she walked away, giving the lovers enough room to express their love for each other.
‘Who is that?’ Dean had noticed Emma walking away.

‘Never mind’ Toke shook her head.
‘I do mind, I just realized I don’t know much about you.’ Dean replied.
‘There’s nothing to know Dean, I am happy you got my text and it’s really clear what I want for myself and that’s not you.’ She took some steps backward.
Her words really hurt him; they reached the depth of his soul ad left an indelible mark of injury there.

‘Toke…have I done something wrong? Please, don’t do this, I love you.’
‘You have not done anything wrong, we are just from two very different backgrounds’ she replied, not able to meet his striking gaze.
‘I don’t understand, where is this coming from? You know I don’t care about such things. You are important to me and that is all that matters.’ Dean was shocked at her words, he had not expected this from her.
‘I am sorry Dean, I am just being honest.’ She folded her arms across her chest.
‘So, you want to leave me in the dark? Have you forgotten what we shared all these years?’ He was desperate to have her back, he was afraid of what losing her will do to him.
‘We shared nothing but good sex Dean, that is all there was to it. I am done with this conversation, I’I will send in my resignation tomorrow. Goodnight.’ She walked briskly into the house, afraid that she may change her mind any minute.

She could see that her decision was hurting him, she had never seen such a pained expression on his face before. But she was not ready to turn back on her decision to let go of him. He had Bellena, what more did he want? Bellena Agwadike was the perfect woman for him.

‘Wait…’ Dean’s voice was sore and broken.

‘What?’ She waited.
‘Just look me straight in the eye and tell me you don’t love me and I swear I will never bother you again.’ Dean needed to know the truth, as he failed to understand her actions.
‘I never loved you; it was all about the sex.’ Toke forced her eyes to meet his’, her heart crying out as she let the lies slip through her teeth.

The silence of the night was ominous as Dean stared into her eyes, he could tell that she was lying, he knew her more than she knew herself and he was ready to play along.
