Episode 6
“yea, anything that will help me get back Tony” she replied. I smiled and nodded.
“you have to pick up your phone, call Jenifer and apologise. Tell her you have left Tony and that she should carry on with him, since she’s very desperate to have him. Make your voice polite, strong, vindicative and innocent” i said quietly to her. She shook with surprise and stared at me with fire in her eyes.
“what??, what did you just say?” she screamed with displeasure.
“Relax my dear, i know what i’m doing. Jenifer is a very decent girl with conscience. I have already told her all about you and she knows you met Tony before her. So doing what i just asked you to do will hit her ego and conscience, forcing her to give up the fight and leave Tony without having a second thought. Trust me” i convinced Irene, who slowly nodded in agreement.
“remember, say nothing on how you got her number to anyone, for your own good” i added as i called out Jenifer’s phone number for her.
Surprisingly Irene was a much better actor than i expected. She brought down her voice to a very mild manner as she apologized to Jenifer.
The phone was on speak out, enabling me to listen easily.
“i’m a good Christian and i don’t believe in fighting my fellow woman for a man. I just did my confession this morning and apologized to God, so forgive me as well. Tony my fiancee is all yours. You can have him” she rounded up with those touching words,
“please wait a minute” we heard Jenifer suddenly beg.
“can we meet?” she asked Irene who instantly looked at me. I shook my head.
“no we can’t meet. I can’t bear seeing you” she answered.
“very well then, it’s cool but i advice you figure out things with your fiancee. He lied to me but it’s over now. I don’t have anything to do with him again. So try and fix things with him” she responded and hung up, leaving Irene beaming with Joy.
“yes!” she screamed happily.
“Jackpot! so easy!” i smiled,
“Jenifer is now mine” i breathed with satisfaction, closing my fist. my9jarocks.info
“now listen to me and listen good. Go home and wait for my orders. Don’t dare act on your own if you are serious about getting back Tony” I seriously said to Irene who nodded in agreement.
“fine, i can assure you that Tony will be fully yours when i’m done with my plans” I promised the young Lady, who smiled in appreciation.
Early the next day, i headed over to Jenifer’s house to check on her. Of course my grand plan was going as i wanted which made me very relaxed and happy.
Jenifer welcomed me into her apartment with a simple smile on her face, softening my heart with the simple gesture of acceptance. She hardly welcomed me with a smile and so seeing the welcoming smile on her face that morning brought up my hopes to an amazing level.
“I hope you are fine?” i asked innocently. She shrugged, saying nothing.
“I know we got off in a very unpleasant manner but i beg you to forget about it all. Let’s focus on your happiness, I know i’m the last person you expect to trust. But please trust me” I appealed calmly.
“It’s okay Emeka. I see you as a good person, at least i do owe you a lot for opening my eyes to Tony’s deception. Plus the advice you have been giving free of charge. I do appreciate and i value you a lot” she replied to my surprise.
“I asked Tony to be here by 7pm. I will be giving him my decision by that time. I will like you to be present as well” she announced, surprising me further with her words.
“yea i will make my decision today. You will be the witness” she concluded, while i speechlessly stared at her….
I couldn’t concentrate on anything, after leaving Jenifer’s apartment that fateful morning. I couldn’t wait to know the decision she was going to make. My hopes were up so were my fears. It was a fifty-fifty chance.
By 6pm i dragged myself to Tony’s house. He was glad and pleased to see me, wasting no time in pouring out his feelings to me.
“Jenifer asked me to show up at her apartment by 7pm with you. I don’t know why she’s trying to judge me without listening to my defence. It isn’t fair, she’s really taking things too far” he complained unhappily.
“you got a point bro, but i know her to be a level headed girl. I believe she’s inviting you to hear your views, moreover you do know i have been talking to her” i said convincingly.
“I do pray so, because i can’t stand another surprise. I just can’t” he broke down sadly.
“but what if she chooses to be unreasonable, will you keep fighting for her?” I asked,
“of course not!. Yes i do love Jenifer but i won’t continue fooling myself like a school boy if she insists on being unreasonable. I simply will marry Irene and say goodbye to bachelorhood. Believe me, i will do it” he poured out seriously, while i smiled with satisfaction.
The worst enemy anyone can ever get is a bad friend. my9jarocks.info
Episode 7
By 7:10pm that fateful day, Tony and I were seated in Jenifer’s cosy sitting room. The tension in the room was very hot and serious.
“please stop keeping me in suspense. I beg to hear what you intend saying to me” Tony finally appealed, breaking the silence in the room. I listened uneasily.
“Tony you are a very nice generous person. Very friendly and cheerful, but the little incident that happened some days ago changed some of my feelings towards you. I know you never intentionally meant bad for me, but seriously some things can’t be changed” Jenifer spoke quietly, throwing occasional glances at me as she addressed a very nervous Tony.
“you claim to be in Love with me?. The answer i can’t verify. You were seriously engaged to another girl before meeting me?. The answer i have verified.
Have my feelings towards you changed?. Oh yes it has changed. I no longer love you Tony, though to be honest i never had something strong for you” she poured out effortlessly. I drew back on my seat while Tony sprang up with shock.
“I beg of you!” he screamed,
“The decision has been made my dear. You have a girl that loves you much more than i do. I can’t take her place, let’s just be friends please” she tried calming him down.
“just because of a single mistake?. It’s obvious you have been waiting for this to happen. You never were in love with me. Gosh this is so incredible d##n” Tony breathed unhappily. I simply sat and watched the drama silently.
Everything was just going as i wanted. My friend was right about one thing. Jenifer never loved him, but was in the relationship due to reasons best known to her until the situation i helped create presented itself.
“aren’t you going to say something?” Tony suddenly faced me, bringing me out from my thoughts with his question. I instantly jumped up and stared at the two adults speechlessly. They returned my look, eager to hear what was in my mind.
“I’m sorry bro, but there is nothing i can say. It’s obvious she had everything well planned out. I’m shocked, i rather not say anything” i stammered and looked away.
“I need a drink, i’m boiling right now” Tony breathed, gave Jenifer a long look before leaving the apartment furiously. I dutifully followed him like a loyal friend.
We ended up in a small bar just across his house. I couldn’t do anything than watch my friend drink himself to coma. I was satisfied with the turn out of events but not entirely happy. My conscience wouldn’t let me.
By 10pm i carried Tony to his apartment, took him to bed and called Irene before leaving the apartment.
“Tony is now yours. Come take care of him tomorrow” i informed her with a dry smile..
It was finally time to move over to the final stage of my plan. The most risky and difficult part…
my9jarocks.info
I kept to myself for two days before visiting Jenifer on the third day.
I made my way to her apartment at exactly 7:45 in the evening. She was surprised to see me because i never told her i was coming.
“Emmy” she gasped with surprise when she answered the door to see me, making no chance for me to enter her house.
“hope i will be permitted inside?” i asked confidently.
“oh!” she exclaimed and made way for me. I slowly walked in while she shut the door and faced me curiously.
“you know, you shouldn’t be here?” she asked quietly. I smiled, drew close and stared into her eyes.
“yea i know” i breathed with deep passion.
“i couldn’t continue staying away” i confessed, held her hands and brought down my lips on hers, Swiftly kissing her tenderly.
She instantly backed away from me, her face growing pale.
“I beg you, please stop this nonsense” she pleaded weakly.
“i can’t. I just can’t” i murmured with emotion.
“please don’t say no to me. I beg of you” i prayed. She breathed deeply, saying nothing.
The confusion in her was quite noticeable. A part of her wanted me, while the other part resisted.
“I really do love you” i added seriously, brought down my lips and kissed her again. This time she didn’t push me away, instead glued herself to me as my kiss got hold of her.
I kissed and fondled her, while she slowly responded in a way that aroused me greatly. In no time we were on the floor, kissing and fighting in a very wondrous manner. Slowly, i reached for her bosoms, my hands swift and magical. She moaned more and more, which encouraged and made me extremely excited.
It was now a matter of time before i got fed with the best food ever. She was ripe and ready to be devoured.
Confidently i tried undressing her, loosening her blouse expertly, but suddenly i saw myself in the air, inches away from her. I was dazed, confused and shocked.
“please it’s okay. I’m not ready” she poured out solemnly. Guilt instantly appearing on her face, but before i could say anything, the smell of burning food hit us.
“oh no!” she screamed and ran towards her kitchen.
“do stay put, we still have a lot to discuss” she shouted and disappeared into the kitchen. my9jarocks.info
“d##n” i cursed, while my manhood nodded its head angrily.
Episode 8
“you know my heart is deep into you that i can’t back out no matter the reason” i confessed as i joined Jenifer in the kitchen. She turned and stared into my eyes as if she was searching for some unknown answers.
“I love you and that’s all that matters to me” i continued.
“no Emmy. This isn’t right, remember your friend and I had a relationship. That alone spoils everything. You will never respect me” she murmured, turned and backed me. I drew close and held her shoulder.
“i know you had a relationship with my friend. I’m also aware that the relationship was never strong. I do know you never slept with Tony because he told me himself that you guys were saving it all up for marriage. So you are a princess my dear” i said sweetly. She turned and faced me again.
“my only problem with guys is that i don’t know when they are saying the truth. You sound very honest and convincing, but deep down i’m scared. Seriously scared” She poured out with deep emotion. I breathed deeply and hugged her.
“I swear with my life. I’m being very honest and all i say is from my heart” i assured her.
“please wait for me at the sitting room. You are distracting me again” she begged.
We ended up having a wonderful dinner which really was one of the most memorable ones i have ever had. The food was simply delicious, Jenifer’s smile wondrous and captivating. I really was so happy and fulfilled.
I was very certain she was finally mine even though she was yet to officially say yes to me.
After the meal, i followed her to the kitchen and watched her wash the plates. My action made her very nervous but i cared not.
“when are you leaving. It’s getting very late?” she asked nervously. I smiled and kept quiet, saying nothing until she finished the dishes.
We returned to the sitting room and faced each other. Our hearts throbbing furiously.
Suddenly, with a quick fierce movement we grabbed each other, our lips locked together with the same swift force.
We ended up in her bedroom where we took time devouring each other. I rode her like an elephant while she took me on like a WWE Diva. It was such a wonderful and exciting moment. Her a#s was just well shaped, s#xy and smooth. Her bosoms super attractive and extremely appealing. Her body sleek and athletic.
My waist almost ripped off as i kept thrusting with great abandon.
Finally after about an hour, we felt apart, breathing heavily. I stared at her with appreciation.
“i will make you my wife as fast as i can. Marrying you is now my top priority” i said with all my heart. She blushed and hid her face.
I couldn’t return to my apartment that night and so we spent the rest of the night in each other arms. It was a dream come true for me. I slept very well, in fact we overslept that we only woke when a strange kind of knock sounded on her door very early in the morning. The knock was very strange because it was unusually loud
and annoying.
The person knocking refused saying a word, instead continued knocking rudely which really made us more angry than tensed.
Jenifer quickly dressed up and hurried to answer the door while i remained on the bed waiting for her to return. But suddenly i heard a familiar voice which made me jump out of the bed with fright.
“where is he?, you think i’m a fool right?” Tony’s voice echoed in the sitting room like an angry lion. Before i could get my act together he showed up in the bedroom. His eyes glaring with fire.
I couldn’t believe it was all happening. I had no idea what prompted his presence early that morning. I was just speechless and confused. my9jarocks.info
“how could you?” he asked, advancing towards me with great anger.
“I knew my breakup with Jenifer wasn’t ordinary. I knew it right from the begining but i never imagined my bestfriend and brother was the person behind the mask.” Tony barked as he closed in on me. My heart throbbed furiously.
I had great urge to run, but couldn’t do anything than stand my ground because it was shameful and unmanly to run from a fellow man.
“I had Jenifer watched. Oh yes i had her watched with my hard earned money. What did i get?. My own friend, my brother screwing my woman. How long have you been doing it?” he asked as he grabbed my neck.
” I beg of you Tony, stop this madness or i will scream” Jenifer threatened, coming to my rescue but a backhand slap from Tony sent her diving to the floor.
“get out of my way you b###h. You are nothing but a scammer. A pretender. Hope you told your lover who paid for this apartment huh. Imbecile” he spat at Jenifer in a very rude manner.
“c’mon bro, stop this and listen to me” i pleaded weakly, but my words only earned me a super punch which turned my eyes in a very nasty manner, before i could recover from the blow, i saw his fist heading to my face again, coming with great force like Big show’s {WWE} knock out punch. I quickly dodged the killing fist and pushed him roughly. An action which infuriated him profusely.
“you still have the guts to push me huh?” he breathed furiously, pulled out a belt from his trouser and advanced on me, lashing out the whip with great strength. The blow hit my face, shoulder and neck, bringing great fire all over my body. I screamed and lunched forward as he raised his hand to deliver another blow, giving him a nose dive that caught him in the midsection.
We both fell heavily on the floor which gave me an upper hand to sit on his stomach before he could recover from the shock my dive gave him.
“you guys should stop this nonsense or i swear i will throw this bucket of water” Jenifer instantly screamed with a bucket full of water dangerously dangling towards us. Tony breathed deeply, pushed me out of his body and stood up with an evil grin.
“it’s not over yet. I will be your worst nightmare” he said to Jenifer, gave me a last look and left the apartment without another word.
“see what you have caused” Jenifer cried painfully. I drew close and hugged her.
“we have to stick together my love. I know Tony, and i know he meant every word. But don’t worry, you got me” i assured her weakly.

Episode 9
“I have to go beg him. I have to apologize to Tony. I think it will go a long way in calming him” Jenifer sobbed.
“you are doing no such thing dear. Let me handle the situation. I know how to follow Tony” i assured her, even though i equally was lost on how to deal with the unexpected situation. I never bargained on Tony’s action which really left me disorganized.
As i left Jenifer’s apartment fifteen minutes later, I dialled Tony’s number.
“guy we need to talk” i said as soon as he answered.
“we got nothing to talk mate. You stabbed my back, now watch out your own back. I know how to stab much more than you” he hissed and hung up, leaving me totally scared. His voice was so different. Seriously he was a changed man.
I headed home, freshened up and drove out to take a little drink. I was very nervous and shaken.
I knew i had to come up with something very fast, but just couldn’t figure out anything because i was clueless of what Tony was planning for me.
I equally couldn’t concentrate on anything that day nor was i able to sleep at night. I kept tossing around On my bed, thinking and sweating.
“what’s he planning?” i kept wondering, while a dog from the next compound, made the night more frightening by barking all through.
Early the next day, Jenifer called me on phone,
“I can’t continue spending the night all alone in my apartment. I had a very miserable night. Please we have to come up with something, i’m very scared. Seems like i will be moving in to your place” she poured out, while i tried my best in calming her.
After the speaking with Jenifer, i dressed up and headed to a nearby police station. I sure needed police protection, because there wasn’t any doubt my life was at risk. I figured there wasn’t anything else Tony could do other than paying for my death and with that state of mind, i headed to the police station to make a formal report.
Under-estimating an enemy is a sure way of losing a fight. I wasn’t ready to take chances… my9jarocks.info
I got to a nearby mini police station very close to my house, made a formal report and requested for police protection.
My request was however turned down by a police inspector who claimed that my request was highly unnecessary, that i had no justifiable cause to demand for police protection.
He simply asked me to go home and report back when my life gets threatened. A comment which totally annoyed and forced me to raise my voice on him.
“oga we can’t just assign a police officer to be babysitting you 24hours a day for who knows how long. We don’t have the manpower, we can only spare a man if you want him for a day or two which isn’t the case with you. I think you should go to our area command or state headquarters to make your request, moreover do know that it’s going to cost you a lot. One other thing i noticed is that you are not coming out clean with us. You claim your life is in danger yet you can’t provide anything or clue to back up your claims” the officer turned me down with his terrible English.
I bit my lips eyed him and left the station angrily. It was obvious he wasn’t ready to help and the last thing on my mind was telling him the whole reason i needed protection. Of course i couldn’t open my mouth and blab how i stole my friend’s girl to him.
As i headed to my car, I noticed a policeman running after me. I stopped and stared at him searchingly.
“oga i’m sorry for the little drama that happened between you and our boss” he apologized as he stopped before me, breathing with excitement, he gave me a piece of paper which had a phone number in it.
“just call the guy. He does this kind of odd jobs. Bodyguard, security, anything. His name is Joe, he’s ex-military” he informed me. I smiled, fetched a thousand Naira from my pocket and handed to him.
“thanks” i said with appreciation.
Driving out of the police station, I called the man who luckily was close by.
“drive over to ring road and call me. I’ll be waiting there” Joe said to my delight, but as i drove towards Ring road to meet him, i got a shocking phone call from my gas station manager.
“oga our tanker is on fire oooo. Some guys just came in, attacked us and lit up the tanker” he poured out, leaving me gasping for air with the revelation.
“what!!” i screamed, totally shocked and angry. I couldn’t believe that a tanker i bought some months back with Tony’s help was suddenly attacked and lit up. I needed no telling that my friend Tony was behind the dastardly act.
“Tony why?, why my Tanker?” i cried as i slowly realised that perhaps his revenge was to finish me off by leaving me totally broke, thereby rendering me incapable of sustaining Jenifer.
“oh no, now i get you bro” i sobbed.

Episode 10
I drove over to Ring road, picked up Joe and furiously headed to my gas station. We discussed the job at hand as i drove. His answers were cool and encouraging, just like his appearance which was very intimidating.
I cried out on getting to my gas station where my tanker burned uncontrollably. Firefighters and my staff were busy, desperately trying to put out the raging fire.
I almost collapsed, watching an investment that cost me millions of Naira burn.
“oh Tony you will pay for this. You must surely pay” i swore with my heart while tears freely fell from my eyes.
“oga you shouldn’t be crying publicly. At least the gas station isn’t affected. The body of the tanker is still redeemable, it’s just the engine and driver’s corner that is on fire” Joe said quietly, trying to calm me. I simply hissed and eyed him.
The fire was finally extinguished about twenty five minutes later, but the level of damage it created was quite shocking. The Tanker was just a shadow of itself. I couldn’t get myself to look at it.
After settling with my staff and firefighters who saved the day. I headed out to confront Tony. I was ready for a showdown. The anger in me was capable of killing him.
There wasn’t any doubt he hit me where it hurt most. Of course he was clever going after my tanker, something he knew i valued very well.
A business man survives and lives for his business. Take out the business and the man behind the business is vulnerable to bankruptcy, poverty, hunger and death.
“hope you have something on you?. Hope you are armed?” i asked Joe as i furiously drove to confront Tony. He looked at me with surprise.
“no sir, I wasn’t expecting to start work today” he stammered.
“but you do have a gun?. You have weapons?” i asked curiously.
“yes sir. I have a licensed pistol” he answered carefully.
“good we are going to get it. So how do we get to your house?” i asked, stopping my car in a corner. He breathed deeply and stared at my cold face.
“oga what are you trying to do?” he asked.
“we are going to confront the guy who just burnt my tanker, but first we must go get your gun” i said seriously. He shook his head, his face growing pale with worry.
“sir i’m not an assassin. I took this job because you wanted a bodyguard” he stammered, while i scoffed.
“i’m not asking you to kill anybody. We are heading to my enemy’s house and it’s logical as my bodyguard your weapon must be with you to protect me” i answered sharply. He shrugged with a shoulder.
“sir seriously with the mood you are in. I fear the worst” he murmured carefully.
“i need the direction to your house” i barked.
“fine drive on and take right when you get to the junction ahead” he said slowly. I gave him a searching look, drew back and drove on. my9jarocks.info
I wasn’t going to let Tony destroy me because of a woman. I had to man up and beat him once again….
We got to Joe’s apartment, fetched the gun and headed out in search of Tony. I wasn’t thinking straight. All that was in my mind was hitting back on Tony.
Luckily for him, he wasn’t in his house nor at the terrible work shop he called his office. I turned back and returned to my gas station, my eyes red with fury.
“oga you have to take things easy, calm down and think over the situation. It isn’t wise making a hasty decision” Joe tried advising me. I bit my lips, saying nothing to him.
I called Jenifer hours later, telling her the terrible news. She couldn’t believe her ears, screaming with shock.
“don’t worry, i will deal with Tony” i promised her.
“c’mon stop that kind of talk. I’m responsible for this terrible crisis. You can’t imagine how bad i feel, drawing two friends into a fight. Please come over to my apartment immediately. I’m all alone” she begged.
“fine i’m on my way” i replied, hung up and nodded at Joe.
“let’s go home” i said to him.
Jenifer was surprised seeing Joe with me when i got to her apartment. Her surprise however turned to a deep shock when we got to her bedroom and i told her the reason Joe was with me.
“c’mon don’t tell me it has gotten so bad for you to hire a bodyguard?” she asked fearfully.
“yes my dear. Don’t you think someone that has the mind to set my Tanker on fire isn’t capable of killing me?” i replied, held her hand and stared into her eyes.
“you have to get your things my dear. You are moving in with me today. I don’t think you are save here. Tony might hire some guys to rape you in order to punish me further” i said seriously. She nodded with fear, rushed to her ward rope and began packing her things.
I returned to the sitting room and smiled at Joe.
“I know we never discussed about you sleeping at my place in your contract, and i guess you won’t agree to that considering your family and age. But the problem is that I don’t have a gateman at my place. I never needed one because it’s just a small compound, but now i need one. I need someone to guard the place especially when i’m not around. Can you get any good one for me?” i asked curiously.
“yea i know two Fulani brothers who can do the work very well. I have seen them in action. They are agile and good with machete. I believe they can handle guns as well” he answered with a smile.
“good, go get them immediately. Try persuade them to come this evening” i said seriously, while he gave me a worried look, nodded and left.
I was very scared as i drove home all alone with Jenifer. I was afraid Tony might be lying in wait for me at my empty compound. I regretted permitting Joe to leave. It was just a hasty miscalculated decision on my part.
Yea Jenifer was mine, but seriously the relationship was leaving a big scar on me. Nevertheless i was a born fighter and giving her up was never an option to me.
“baby i love you” i sweetly said to her. She smiled and l####d her lips. Cautiously we headed to my house.
