Chapter 39

{ FIRST TIME IN NIGERIA }

"Carina stop the drama" Melinda laughed, and Carina opened her eyes on the ground.

"Is it for real?, Ten girls?' she said as Gigi helped her up.

"Even Kong Solomon didn't do this much" Gigi said, and Melinda started laughing.

Flora suddenly appeared with Mrs Kat, and the door was broken down, but Leo is not in the room as expected.

Those who were already crying increased the volume of their tears, and Sydney joined in the crying this time around.

"What do we do?, He impregnated ten girls" Mrs Kat faced Flora.

"I'll have to report to the cops, and the ten should follow me" Flora replied and started leaving.

The ten girls followed her, and Paisley kept crying as she joined them.

"How come I pity her?" Gigi said pathetically.

"You have the heart of gold, but I have a stone heart, I can never pity her, now she'll know what pains feel like" Melinda replied.

"Me too, let's go girls" Carina said, leaving with them.

"So... Paisley got pregnant for Leo too, maybe that's her destiny" Winnie said beside Lexi.

They've been watching.

"Whatever, maybe it's a good thing she left me" Lexi smiled and took Winnie's hand.

"Let's go" he said, and she nodded with a smile, following him.

Delaney came out to the back of the hostel and met Mavis sitting on a chair.

She walked to him and sat beside him.

"Delaney!" He said shockingly, and she smiled.

"Hi!, Sugarcane!" She waved, and he smiled.

"So sorry I couldn't come see you at the hospital, my baby was sick too" she said.

"I heard about it, how's she doing right now?" He asked.

"She's fine, thanks for asking" Delaney replied, and he nodded.

"I hope Emma gets caught" he said.

"Me too" she replied with a loud sigh.

Silence took over for a while, then Mavis cleared his throat before facing her.

"Do you hate me now?" He asked, and she blinked.

"Why would I hate you?"

"Yunno...what I did to you and...

"I'm fine, and I understand you perfectly, so quit feeling guilty, Mavis" she interrupted, and he sighed.

"How come you forgive so easily?, Was your heart made of pap?" He said, and she laughed.

"That's just my nature, I can't fight it, and besides.... you're the first person I talked to when I got here, still remember that moment in the restroom?, On the orientation day" she said.

"Sure, who'd forget?" He replied, and she smiled.

"I'm just so sorry that I can't.... reciprocate your feelings...I...

"Stop talking about that, forget that I confessed to you, I don't even deserve you" he interrupted, and she looked at him.

"Yeah, so please....let's face the future and forget the dirty past" he said, and she smiled.

"It's just so sad that I'll eat ice cream alone from now on" he said.

"Another girl will come... for sure" Delaney replied.

"I want someone who's just like you, but I bet that's an impossible dream, so I'mma let it go" he said.

"I promise you'll get someone like me, trust me" she said.

"As if" he said, and she smiled before standing.

"I'll be going to New Caledonia for my break" she said.

"I don't know where I'm going yet, I might just stay back" he replied.

"The guys are going to Nigeria, it's a group trip, you should follow them" Delaney said, and he sighed.

"Let's see about that"

"Bye!" She waved with a smile.

He smiled, and she walked back into the hostel.

Almost immediately, tears fell from Mavis eyes, but he started wiping them immediately.

"These darn tears" he sniffed.

<ADDAMS RESIDENCE>

Paisley wiped her tears when she came out of her car, and when she went in, she met Mrs Addams in the living room.

"Paisley is it true?, Ten students hot impregnated by same guy in your school, and he escaped?" She said, standing up.

Paisley started crying, and she walked fast to her.

"Why the tears?, Are you ok?" She held her arms.

"Mum.... I'm... I'm one of the... girls" she cried, and Mrs Addams arms dropped.

"What!"

"Mum I'm so sorry, I wasn't thinking, I thought he loved me but he was only making a fool out of me, I'm sorry" she cried, and Mrs Addams smiled.

"Is this some...kind of... joke?"

"You're pregnant?" Mr Addams said, coming in.

"Dad..." She sniffed.

"How dare you ruin yourself!, How dare you waste my efforts!" He shouted, and immediately he got the her, he slapped her.

"How dare you!!!" He shouted.

"What about you?, You once came home with another woman!, I caught you one week ago you shameless man!, You've been cheating on mum!, Pot calling kettle black!" Paisley shouted back, and Mrs Addams felt her blood drying up.

"Huh?" She said, and Mr Addams went mute.

"I know you sent that gangster to kill Delaney during Madelyn's party, cos I saw you with him the day before the party, I saw you paying him, Delaney probably saw you with another woman and you were scared she'd spill it out, you're an animal!!" Paisley cried bitterly, and Mrs Addams went down straight.

She passed out on the ground, hitting her head on the hard tile.

"Mum!!!" Paisley screamed.

<NEXT DAY>

"Hey baby!" Summer said happily, picking Naomi's call as she walked out of the company.

"Hey boo-boo, how's Australia doing?" Naomi and, and Summer pouted.

"Boring without you, and what the hell are you doing in Manila?, Come back already!" Summer replied, and Naomi laughed.

"Can't believe this is actually coming from a girl who sold me for a car" she said.

"You took the car from me remember?, You sold it and bought a makeup kit with it you wicked b*tch" Summer replied, and Naomi laughed.

"I'm coming back soon anyways, I won't let you die of missing me" she said.

"So full of herself, don't even come again!" Summer snapped.

"Ok I won't come till next year!" Naomi replied.

"Naomi stop!" Summer said, and Naomi laughed again.

"We'll talk later, gotta go RN!" She said.

"Sure, wicked witch" Summer replied and hung up.

She got to where her car is parked and saw another car beside it. The car blocked her car completely, and there's no way to drive out.

"Gosh!, Why are people so blind these days!, Who the hell blocked my car!" She shouted.

"Who's the owner of the red Audi!" She shouted again, and when no answer came, she started hitting the tyres with her shoes.

"Miss!" A male voice shouted behind her, and she stopped hitting, then she smirked before facing back.

Her eyes widened immediately, and she looked away from him.

"How come he's this handsome!" She said funnily.

"I'm sorry about the car, but that doesn't mean you should hit the tyres" the guy said, and Summer smirked before facing him.

"Really?, What if I had an important appointment?, I'd have been late!, How could you block my car with yours when there are lots of space to park in!, Huh!" She asked to his face, and he only smiled.

"I look funny, right?, I look like SpongeBob SquarePants!, It's not your fault!, Maybe I should have deflated your tyres" she said.

"I smiled because you look cute" the guy replied, and her eyes widened.

"Wait...what!"

"By the way ... I'm Sam" he said, extending an hand for a handshake.

Summer looked at the hand and then at his face.

"I hate guys who bear Sam, get your car away from my car" she said, and he smiled before entering his car.

He drove it away from that spot and Summer entered her car immediately.

She drove off before Sam could ask for her number.

"How hot tempered, but cute" Sam smiled.

<COTTAGE>

"I know you're after Dylan cos he's rich, but I'm rich too, why don't we click?" Dave said to Emma who's working out in the gym.

"Point of correction, you aren't rich, you still get payed by Mr Stewart but he makes his own money, see the difference?, So f**k away" she rolled eyes, and he smiled.

"How much do I need to pay to f**k you?"

"That'll never even happen" she replied bluntly, and Zayn came in with Flora.

"Boss!" Dave said, and Zayn sighed.

"The break is one week, so we'll have to wait till they come back before executing the plan, she'll die the same way her parents die" he said.

"Then we'll have to hack the car they'll board from the airport" Emma said.

"Yeah, and Dave is capable" Flora smiled, and Emma smirked at him.

"Lay low for one more week" Zayn said.

"Yes boss!"

"And after she dies, I can peacefully handover the company to Madelyn" Zayn said.

"She's lucky" Emma smiled.

<A WEEK LATER>MMC>

"You deserve everything you got, how could you f**k with my ex, you don't have shame?" Gladys said as Sydney packed her things.

All the ten girls have been rusticated, they're to leave the school and never come back.

"But Leo is crazy" Madelyn laughed, packing her things too.

"You going somewhere too?" Gladys asked.

"To Nigeria, with Gigi and her friends" Madelyn replied.

"What!, We aren't in the same level, how could you even think of going on the trip with them?* Gladys said.

"It's my life,not yours ok?" Madelyn rolled eyes.

"You're really gonna go?" Gladys said.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Madelyn faced her.

"Fine!, Go!, Go and let's stop being friends!" Gladys said.

"Whatever... B**ch!" Madelyn replied, and Gladys stormed out of the room.

<NEXT DAY>INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT>

"Can't believe it!, I'm finally gonna visit Nigeria!" Carina screamed, coming out of the car with Melinda and Trevor.

"It's just for one week, don't be too overjoyed" Trevor replied, and she pouted.

Another car halted, and Gigi came out with her mum.

She offloaded her bag from the trunk before hugging her.

"Thanks for allowing me to visit dad, I'll be a good girl over there, don't worry" she said, and Mrs Robertson smiled.

"Silly, just take it easy ok?, And spend as much time as you want with your dad" she said.

"Of course!" Gigi replied and hugged her again.

She got in her car and drove off.

"Girls!" Gigi smiled, hugging them one by one.

Midas finally came in the same car with Mavis and Nicholas, and their eyes widened when they saw Mavis.

"Wait...is this a dream?" Gigi said.

"Heard Nigeria is fun!" He winked, dragging his bag as he walked.

Nicholas followed him.

Another shock happened when Madelyn showed up.

"Madelyn?" Carina gasped.

Madelyn removed her glasses and smiled.

"Can I tag along... please?" She said, and Gigi smiled.

The last car containing the seniors finally showed up.

Tony, Lexi and Winnie came out of it.

"Whoa!, Wasn't expecting us to be as many as this" Carina said.

"I know, right?" Gigi replied.

"Let's just go" Melinda said, and they all walked into the port fully.

"I'll finally meet my father-in-law" Midas whispered into Gigi's ears, and she smiled, giving him a peck before joining the girls.

An hour later, the plane took off.

•••

<NEW CALEDONIA>10AM>

Dylan and Delaney arrived since yesterday, but they were too jet lagged to come to work, so they came today.

Dylan was the one carrying Sweeney as he came out of the car.

Delaney came out of the other side and rushed to them. Dylan held her hand with his other hand, then he gave her lips a light kiss before walking into the company.

🗣️ Whoa!, The CEO has a daughter?

🗣️ OMG she's so cute!

🗣️ Is that his wife?

🗣️ How hot!

🗣️ Family of hotties!

🗣️ I love this!

Till they entered the elevator, They kept smiling at each other.

"So... should I tell them you're my wife?" He asked, and she raised up her fingers.

"My fingers are still vacant, I see no ring" she rolled eyes, and he smiled.

"I'll shock you" he said, and she chuckled.

"I'm waiting!"

They stepped out of the elevator, and the staffs in their floor bowed respectfully.

"Welcome back boss!" The chief of staff smiled.

"Thanks for taking care of this place during my absence, though I'll only be here for one week this time" Dylan replied.

"I understand, school can he stressful" the chief replied.

"Oh... y'all might be curious, meet my girlfriend" Dylan said, holding Delaney's waist.

"Delaney Wang, the love of my life" Dylan continued.

👥 Aww!

"And meet my daughter... Sweeney" he said.

👥 So cute!

"Stop the cheesiness" Delaney whispered, blushing like crazy.

"Work hard everyone!, Eyes on y'all" Dylan smiled, and they all bowed again as he entered his beautiful big office.

"Whoaa!!!" Delaney shouted, looking around.

"You like the office of your husband-to-be?" He said, and she hit his arm.

"I love it, it's beautiful" she said, and Dylan smiled.

"What can I help you with?" She asked.

"Nothing, just sit and watch me work, that's all I want" he replied, going to his seat.

"Let me hold on to Sweeney at least" Delaney said.

"No, she's working with me" Dylan replied, and almost immediately, Sweeney grabbed a document from the table and tore it into two.

"F**k!, Sweeney" he said, and Delaney laughed at the innocent look on her face.

She started bringing the paper to her mouth, but Dylan quickly took it away, and she started crying.

"Wait...what!" He said, looking at her surprisingly.

He gave her the paper, and she stopped crying.

"But it's not healthy to eat paper" he said, taking it from her again. She started crying again.

"I'm going crazy here" he said, and Delaney started laughing as she walked to him and took Sweeney.

"She's probably hungry" she said, opening her bag to bring out her feeding bottle which has warm milk.

She settled down on the couch and started feeding her with the milk.

Sweeney stopped crying.

"Was expecting you to breastfeed her" Dylan said.

"I stopped doing that since last week" Delaney replied, and he smiled.

"Why that creepy smile?" She asked.

"Nothing, let me get to work" Dylan replied and continued smiling as he opened his laptop.

<NIGERIA<5:30PM<LOS>

"The atmosphere here is completely different from Australia, like geez!, Why is it so hot!" Melinda said, looking around immediately she came down from the plane.

"I know, right?, I'm literally burning up" Carina replied beside her.

"That's one of the noticeable characteristics of this country, heat" Gigi said.

"I hate heat like mad" Madelyn rolled eyes.

"Oh sorry!, But you gat to endure now that you're here" Winnie replied.

"I guess you're ok with the heat since you have a black skin" Midas said.

"Sure, but you guys should keep calm, once we get home, the AC will cool your nerves" Gigi replied, leading them out of the airport.

A bus was already waiting for them, sent by Gigi's dad.

"Gigi!" The driver came out of the car, and her eyes widened.

" Joshua!" She hugged him tightly, and Midas smirked.

"E good say you come home!" Joshua said in pidgin English

"What's he saying?" Mavis said.

"He said it's a good thing I came home" Gigi replied.

"I really need to learn that" Trevor said, and they all laughed as they got in the car.

Joshua started the drive to banana island which was supposed to take twenty minutes, but because of the suffocating hold up, they were still on the road after thirty minutes.

"The country dey suffer laidis" Joshua said.

"Why?" Gigi asked.

"Fuel scarce, cash no dey, even the NEPA people no dey help matter" Joshua replied.

"Can he just speak English already?" Lexi said.

"Sorry, he's not so fluent in English, and what he's saying is that, the country is going through hardship right now. Fuel scarcity, cashless policy and electricity problem" Gigi replied.

"What!, So the heat is just the smallest problem, thought you said Nigeria is fun" Midas replied.

"Wasn't expecting this too" Gigi said.

"F**k, this heat is killing me" Tony said, fanning himself with his hands.

"And why is the car not moving?" Nicholas said.

"Hold up is happening" Gigi replied.

"Oh no!" Winnie said.

Everyone in the car is sweating so much, except Gigi and Joshua though.

"No worry Tiwaladé, your papa don make preparations for una, you no go suffer at all" Joshua said.

"And what's...Tiwa..Tiwa what?" Mavis said.

"It's my tribal name, a Yoruba name" Gigi replied.

"What's Yoruba?" Carina asked, and Gigi held her forehead.

"Oh Lord of mercy" she muttered, and they started hearing crying sounds from the back of the car.

They all turned back at once to see Madelyn in only her bra

She took off her blouse already, sweating so much as she fanned herself with her blouse.

"What the f**k!, Madelyn!" Gigi shouted, and Madelyn started crying.

"Let's go back to Australia!!!"
