Don't Leave

Lanre just stared at Anita. She wondered what Anita was doing because it seems senseless to her. It was needless of her to continue to act. But K doing what he just did, she was not walking away without breaking a bottle on Ify’s head. She hates anybody pulling her hair.

“Ify and K, apologise to Lanre then apologise to me. Because if you don’t, I will forget the fact that I’m in your place and press this upload button and let the whole world know what you did to a woman under medication. I mean she is still trying to recover from what happened to her a few weeks ago and you dare to hurt her?” Anita said.

“And you Ify, it is because of my mother you got engaged to K. If you still want to keep him, then apologise. I will talk and not hide anything if you don’t apologise. I will put up your story just like you put up Lanre’s. The only difference is that yours will be true but her’s wasn’t”. Anita said. Lanre wondered what secret Ify could possibly have that Anita was threatening her with.

Ify went on her knees and asked Lanre to forgive her that she had over thought and was rash in her actions. Lanre raised an eyebrow. Was Ify actually begging her to forgive her? Does she really have a secret she does not want to be found out?

Meanwhile, Anita walked to the desk beside the bed. She picked a small device from it. Then she walked up to K.

“I do not know what transpired between you two while the room was locked, but I think I could find a way to make you regret if you let her leave. She has to stay this weekend. Make her stay”. Anita whispered into K’s ears. K got to realise what Anita was holding is actually a camera. He would never had thought in his life that it was there in his room. He remembered telling Lanre to be his mistress and all she needed to do was quit working, stay in the house he would buy her and open her legs for him. He could not afford to let the world see that. But begging Lanre to stay, what if Ify releases his mother’s video? He was caught up in a dilemma. He was left to choose between himself and his mother.

Meanwhile, Lanre did not say anything to Ify. She knew Ify was only pleading for her secret not to be let out and not for her forgiveness. She walked away from Ify and went to get her luggage. She was leaving even though it was night already. She picked up her phone and called Tega to come pick her up.

“Don’t leave! You came to spend the weekend with your sister in-law to be, so stay. I and my fiancée did wrong you, please forgive us and stay”. K said to Lanre who feigned not hearing him. She was not going to stay no matter what.
