Chapter 26

It was a boring Sunday evening. Ifeoma was focused on the television watching the movie "Acrimony" while her husband was out with his friends or that was what he said. Mama was seated on a couch opposite Ifeoma dozing off and already snoring.

Ifeoma rolled her eyes, mama had been told several times to go into her bedroom whenever she wanted to sleep but had she ever listened?

Ifeoma was startled by the banging on the door as she walked as silently as she could to check who was at the door before opening it.

'Only an armed robber or hired assassin would be knocking on a person's door that way.' She thought with fear as she peeped.

It was a woman and a man and they looked unarmed and nothing like armed robbers. They were even carrying a cake.

"Well, they could be carrying a bomb in the cake." Ifeoma whispered to herself.

She knew she was overreacting so she finally opened the door.
