Danny left the Church building still reeling from Bolu’s hug. He could still feel his big strong arms around him, squeezing him. Danny hadn’t been hugged like that before. It was…comforting. Strangely so. And what Bolu had said about God loving him was just…too much. He couldn’t take […]
Bolu was in his office, thinking about Ifeoma, his Secretary. Something was the matter with her. She had been behaving very oddly since they resumed work this week. She was not her usual professional and efficient self. She had somehow disorganised his filing cabinet, in the name of […]
Danny laid in bed on Tuesday evening, thinking of Lily. He recalled their last encounter at Oyinda’s house over the weekend, and remembered how she had looked beautiful in her black pencil skirt and pink lace blouse. Seeing her again had made him realise that he’d really fallen […]
Lola and Bolu attended the twin’s first birthday party at Temi Ayeni’s home on Saturday. Temi had married well, and lived in a big house in Ikoyi with her husband, Oyindamola Ayeni. Mr Ayeni was the CEO of a shipping company. Their glamorous wedding had made the front […]
Lola woke up in Bolu’s arms, stirred awake by a ray of golden sunlight on her face. It was a beautiful Wednesday morning, and the lovebirds had slept in late. She lifted her head up to see that Bolu was already awake and had been watching her sleep. […]
“So, you’re still childless? After two pregnancies?! Hmmm… This is serious oh,” Ejiro said, shaking her head as she looked on sadly at her friend. “How is Amadi taking this?” Erhuvwun sighed, still feeling perplexed about everything. She had come home to visit with her father for a […]
Bolu fell back on the bed with relief, after concluding his call with Mr Williams. Thank God! Thank You, Jesus! He couldn’t believe his good fortune. Despite the efforts of the enemy, in the person of Daniel Akunne, he still had his job and his wife. He had […]
Lola’s instinct was to scream “Yes! Yes! Oh, yes… I’d rather be married to you any day…” Having spent long enough discontented in marriage, and knowing all the things Danny could offer her that Bolu couldn’t and wouldn’t for a while to come (if ever), the idea of […]
Bimbo Adetayo returned from her visit in the evening. She sensed the tension in the apartment the moment she returned. She asked Lola how her trip was. Lola said it was fine, but her eyes told a different story. She asked Bolu if everything was ok, and his response […]
The rain storm had continued through the night into the early morning. Flights into Lagos were postponed until further notice due to heavy flooding. Danny would be stuck in Port Harcourt until Sunday evening. He didn’t like that at all. With Lily’s phone intersected, he didn’t have a […]
AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS AND PATRONS ONLY Every year, on the 21st of October, Mary and Ifeanyi commemorated the memory of Mary’s parents with a special activity. This was their fourth year marking the date, since their marriage, three and a half years ago. On their first year, they […]
Lola took a cab home from the airport. As much as she knew she had to give thanks to God for opening her eyes to see the truth about Danny, she did not want to do so. Rather she was angry with Him for bursting her bubble and interrupting […]
“Lily, Lily!” Lola heard her mother’s call, and felt her shaking her awake from her sleep. “Lily, come. Come quick!” Omotola called her sleeping child. “Mama…” Lola stirred from her sleep, and rubbed her eyes. She couldn’t believe it. It was really her mother! She pinched herself, because […]
Lola checked her phone for messages and missed calls when she was alone in her hotel room. Bolu had responded to her earlier message with “Great! Work’s been busy today. I’ll call you when I get home, so we can talk about how your day went.” However, there […]
The sun was going down, and Amadi still hadn’t returned home. Erhuvwun was worried. His leaving this morning was unusual. She’d expected him back since lunchtime and had even gone to the stream to call him, thinking he’d gone there to clear his head. But he wasn’t there. […]
