BROWN & GREY: FINALE

Image
  BELLION POV. As we got to the house, I started getting scared of confronting my father. But as soon as Lota placed his hands on top of mine I regained my confidence again. We walked into the foyer, holding hands. I saw my father sitting on the couch, luckily he wasn't drunk this time. Like the other times on my birthday.  "Bellion, its good that you're here, I wanted to discuss with you about the wedding guest list, there are some people I want out of it." He practically demanded. "There will be no need for that, I'm not going through with the wedding." I said confidently and Lota gave my hand a squeeze. My father stood up having a sinister look on his face. "I'll take that as a joke." He said. "It's not a joke, I'm se.." before I could complete my statement, my dad kicked the lamp away from the table and broke it. Lota pulled me behind him to protect me from the shards. "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE PUT INTO THIS ...

BROWN & GREY: CHAPTER 6

  BELLION POV It's been ten months and the wedding planning is almost about to end. In two weeks I'll be a married woman. Its also been ten months since Lota has been working for me and I've been getting to know him better. Each day spent with him makes me happier, he's been teaching me a little bit of his language. Just the simple details though and also how to drive, I've been learning really quickly.  I've also been introduced to more food like Abacha and Achicha. Even though we still argue about it sometimes. I still think that Achicha is better. I find myself liking him more each day.  Lota was going to france in two weeks as well, one of my contacts pulled through, he was going to start his internship soon. I will miss him a lot though. Lota is a kind man, caring, respectful and he treats me like I matter. Like I'm not irrelevant. But I couldn't forget that I was marrying Kai, I needed my father to be proud of me, I wanted him to see my worth. So i...

BROWN & GREY: CHAPTER 5

Image
  BELLION POV As I took a stroll in the garden, the memories of last night kept filtering into my brain. The look of disappointment in dad's eyes etched into it like a bad movie.  Maybe I should've just stayed in the restaurant a little longer. Maybe then dad wouldn't have been so mad at me. But then I remembered what Lotanna said about me having no fault in the matter, part of me wanted to believe him but after what dad said, I didn't know what to believe about myself anymore. I was so confused. I didn't have long to think when I saw Kai and Lota talking, they both looked quite irritated with each other.  I walked towards them and as I got closer I knew I had to break the tension. "What's going on here?" I asked. Both Lota and Kai turned to look at me. "Bellion " Kai said walking towards me, he touched my cheek and gave me a peck on the forehead. He's never done that before. "Your new help didn't know who I was. I was just clea...

BROWN & GREY: CHAPTER 4

Image
BELLION POV As we rode the Uber, Lotanna told me all about his University days and his friend Lanre. It took me a while to finally pronounce his name right though. I also told him some few details about myself, I haven't mentioned Kai. I didn't want this moment to end, this little time of happiness I had.  I have never laughed this much in a long time but Lota seems to make me do so effortlessly. He let me be myself around him, the only person I've only talked to this much was Kayla. The Uber took us home. As we got down Lota gawked at the house like a deer caught in headlights. "Come on, let's introduce you to my father." I said laughing at the expression on his face. "I know on our way here you told me your father was rich but I didn't think it was this much. Talking to you one wouldn't guess that you're this wealthy, you are so modest Asa." He said. Even though he still hasn't told me the meaning of the name, I was determined to fi...

BROWN & GREY: CHAPTER 3

LOTANNA POV After absorbing the shock, I finally left the property with my luggage. Where would I go to now? I had no relatives here, I was stranded and worst of all? I was broke. "Chineke, kedu udiri onwuwa but nka"( God, what type of temptation is this.) I sighed silenty. I started walking aimlessly, my phone battery was dead so I couldn't call Lanre to deliver the bad news, he'd probably shove it in my face that he was right and I was wrong.  It was already nighttime here in London, as I passed people kept giving me weird glances, well I wouldn't blame them. As I was still thinking about my predicament, I heard a voice screaming. "Hey! Get back here, you thief."  Fortunately the theif ran into me, I dragged him by the collar and hit his head several times, throwing insults in Igbo language. The boy didn't look more than 18 years old, I took the purse and let him go.  As I turned I saw the lady gawking at me. She wasn't that tall but she was b...

BROWN & GREY: CHAPTER 2

  BELLION POV πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ "Red or white?" Kayla asked. "Kai doesn't like red, so I'll go with white." I said. "But you love red". She said dejected. "Tonight isn't about me, it's about Kai and what will make him want to marry me more." I said. I have to be perfect. In dad's words if I'm not perfect then I'm not useful. All my life, all I've strived for was perfection, I wanted to be just like my father. He was perfection itself. I grew up with a single dad. My father was one of the most successful multimillionaires in the country. I've always done everything he wanted because when I did,  He'd smile at me and I loved that. I liked when he was happy with me. It was rare. So I cherished it. Marrying Kai Young was one of my dad's biggest and most important task for me and I was not going to fail him. Kai is one of my father's biggest investors. In order to keep his investment in our company, he asked to marr...

LOCKWOOD: EPISODE 11

NOA POV ❤️❤️ Khalil looked at me like I was a little puppy when he saw me on his porch. His eyes were wide open when he saw me crying under the rain. He didn't have time to react when I hugged him sobbing even more. "Please can I stay with you tonight." I said quite desperate. I looked up at him and he nodded. Khalils house was comfy, it was just a family size house but you could feel that it was a home where mother and son lived comfortably and even though I didn't know? I would say happy as well. He turned and looked at me standing at the door still soaked and red eyed. "My mum has a night shift so she won't be back for a while, don't worry. And even if she was here she would be happy about another female in the house." he said and I smiled. "Are you that bad?" I chuckled. "Nah, I guess she's always wanted a girl after she had me, unfortunately my dad died". he said solemnly  "I'm sorry." I said. "It's...

LOCKWOOD: EPISODE 10

NOA POV ❤️ "You know you guys are in big trouble right?" Detective Walters said. I didn't know how to explain why we broke into the police station in the middle of the night, tampered with evidence and set off several alarms. If we did not look like suspects to Walters before, we certainly do now. "It was my fault, I asked Noa to come with me, I felt if we came here and looked for evidence, we would find something, I'm sorry." Khalil said, was he trying to take the blame because I certainly didn't want that. "Don't listen to him, it was mine." I said resolutely.  "I don't care whose fault it was, you two are lucky I'm not calling your parents and putting you right on the suspect list and behind bars." He yelled and rubbed his head in an "These kids are such a headache way." "Why aren't you putting us on the list right now then?" I said "Because for some weird reason, I believe you two are innoc...

  NOA POV ❤️ "Happy children's day." I said to the kids, it was the 27th of May. I went to the adoption center. Owen decided to host a party for them. The kids were happy about this. His wife Maryann cooked the food, even though she was pregnant she insisted on doing it, saying that nothing would make her happier. I decided not to dwell on Khalils words today, I wanted to be happy and not think about them or how true they were. Owen came close to me, he was holding a balloon. "Hey, N. I have bad news." He said  "What is it Owen?" I asked worriedly. "Mr bobo cancelled, he got a higher paying gig for a birthday party." he sighed. "But what are we going to do now?" I said frustrated." the kids were really excited." I said. "We just have to give them the news I guess." We both went to the kids, as we were going near them we heard laughing sounds, we came closer and I saw Khalil, he was carrying little Amy and telling...

LOCKWOOD: EPISODE 8

  NOA POV ❤ Megan left a few minutes after her huge revelation, but not before saying, "For all this trouble you guys better buy my new peanut oil, it's for dry scalps". Khalil and I were still inside the room. I was sitting on the bed staring at the curtain. Khalil was on the chair, looking lost. I couldn't imagine how he felt right now but that doesn't mean I wasn't angry at him. He hid something so big from me, he looked me in the eye and lied. This means he could lie about anything else. I stood up abruptly to leave, suddenly Khalil was alert and held my hand. He looked me in the eye remorseful. "I'm sorry Noa, I'm sorry I lied I can explain." He said softly. "Save it, if you can look me in the eye and lie to me. If you could lie about something so small. You can lie about anything else Khalil. I can't believe I thought I could trust you." He wanted to say something else but I cut him off. "For all I know you could hav...
