EPISODE 43
The next morning Ella woke up very early and left the house, king and Camila were shocked when they found out she had left…. king was not surprised, he knew soon or later Ella would leave, she’s not a steady human.
KING

CAMILA
I keep having a bad feelings about this
KING

CAMILA

KING

CAMILA
that should be my question…. what would youime to eat?
KING
let’s eat whatever you cook baby…. but I’m going to the office this morning.
CAMILA
just give me twenty minutes I will fix you something to eat…. you should go freshen up.
KING
alright love…..
(he ki-ssed her)
Ella received a disturbing call trj previous night, that was why she had to leave very early in the money.
she was into a dirty business with some set of people, she lost a lot of money that she was expected to pay… there was only one place where she can get that money and that was with king.
She was threatened so she rushed out to see the Don she was owing to plead for more time.
DON
Young lady, I’m sure you don’t value your life… because if you do you won’t be messing with me.
ELLA
Don, why are you talking like this na? don’t forget that we use to be very close ooh
DON
that was when money is not involved, do you know how much you owe me?
ELLA
I know how much I’m owing you don, but you just nee-d to give me time…. look, I’m back at my ex husband’s house……I’m sure he will pay me that money.
DON
I hate stories, and that’s what you have been feeding me with….. I’m giving you 10 days to pay up what you owe me, else you and that stupid ex husband of yours won’t live to tell the tale.
ELLA
it won’t get to that Don…. I promise you.
DON
now get out of my presence before I change my mind and just kill you now.
Before he could finish Ella picked her hand bag and ran away.
She got outside the building and thought of who could help her in time like this…. after a long thought she remembered her friend Sharon, they use to work together na then as a stri-pper… she knew Sharon to be someone who was diabolical, she hasn’t spoke with her for a while so she didn’t know If she was still into the business or she has quit.
she stopped a taxi and went to her old her to check if Sharon was still there, unfortunately for her Sharon had gotten married to one Alihaji since tow years back… she pleaded for the new address, it was given to her and she immediately went to the address they gave her.
Ella got to the destination and knocked at the gate, the gate man opened up…. tjr face look new to him, he greeted Ella and asked her who she was looking for.
ELLA
I’m here to see your madam, her name is Sharon
GATE MAN
Sharon? I’m sorry ma, we don’t have anyone here who bear such name…. my Madam’s name is Nana Aisha , so i think you got the wrong address.
ella was confused, if they didn’t want to give her Sharon’s new address they should have just told her so that could look for other means instead of playing a prank on her by giving her a wrong address.
ELLA
well, sorry for wasting your time…. I was told that Sharon lives here.
GATE MAN
please check the next compound.
as they were still talking, Nana Aisha drove to the gate, the gate man quickly ran inside to open the gate for his madam.
As Nana Aisha drove pas-s Ella she stare at her to be sure her eyes weren’t deceiving her.
NANA AISHA
ELLA????
It took Ella few glances before she recognized her long time friend, Sharon use to be very slim but this lady she’s seeing now is Chubby and looks like a goddess, back then Sharon use to be the most s-×iest among them, everyone were jealous of her then, except Ella, she would always insult her about how short she is in height.
ELLA
oh my God it’s you….
Sharon came down from her car and ran to hu-g her friend…. they were both excited to see each other after a long time.
ELLA

NANA ANISHA

He opened the gate wider for his boss to drive in, Ella entered the car and nana drive into the compound.
ELLA

NANA AISHA

They got into the house and Nana offered them something to drive while they catch up on old time.
NANA AISHA

NANA AISHA

ELLA

Nana looked around, then got up and pulled Ella by the hand and took her to her room upstairs, they went into her bathroom to discuss.
ELLA

NANA AISHA
my husband is a very wise man, and too over protective, this whole building is wired…. whatever I discuss in this house he would hear it…. this place is the oy place he didn’t wire.
ELLA

NANA

The way she rolled her eyes Ella already coded that her friend had tie the man down with something strong
It wasn’t the time to start questioning her about her marriage, she nee-ded help and only Sharon could help her.

THINGS YOU CAN’T SEE
EPISODE 44
Nana was shcoked to her bone, like who uses such an amount of money to gamble?
NANA AISHA
tell me you are joking? girl are you crazy? who does that?
ELLA
I was addicted okay? and don saw that I was loaded, so he just allowed me to keep playing till I crossed the limit.
NANA AISHA
Shouldn’t you have used your head then that he was setting a trap for you? do you even know how much 30 million US dollars is in Nigeria currency?
ELLA
are you calling me a child? of course I do.
NANA AISHA
Then where do you expect me to get such an amount of money from? do you think my husband Rob’s Banks?
ELLA
no, no, that’s not why I’m here…. I’m here because I was hoping you will take me somewhere.
NANA AISHA
take you somewhere? and where is that?
ELLA
stop doing like you don’t know Sharon, back then we all know you to be diabolical, you had one baba then that was doing charms for you…. I’m sure if
NANA AISHA
sorry to cut you off, why do you still think I’m in touch with baba? I quit such life, a long time ago, as you can see I’m now a wife of an alihaji….. I don’t
ELLA
Oh please, can a man master the use of his left hand at old age? I know you more than anyone, and I know what you are Cable of doing.
NANA AISHA
okay fine, even if I decided to take you to baba, how do you think his going to help you… you are owing 30 million, not naira but in dollars and what you want is Baba’s address?
ELLA
I know king would not rele-ase such an amount of money to me that’s why I want to see baba.
NANA AISHA
who would? look let me tell you, even if king sells his company I’m very sure he can’t afford that Money
For reasons best known to Ella she started to laugh, if only nana knows how rich king is…. she wouldn’t.talk like that.
NANA AISHA
Why are you laughing?
ELLA
I’m laughing because you are ignorant of who my king is…… king is just an humble soul…. else the kind of money he has he would buy Nigeria twice or even thrice.
NANA AISHA
are you serious?
ELLA
Yes, I’m serious, look, king’s late father was very rich, since king was his only son he inherited everything from his father…. the mother too was wealthy so she gave her child everything….so you see?
NANA AISHA
Oh wow, I’m so surprised… and after knowing all this you left that man that could die for you? wait what changed now? I thought you once told me that king love you to a default….so what changed.
ELLA
and that was the truth, but right now king is in love with another woman, I don’t know how she did it but king really loves her….. and she is running things for me now.
Nana was about to say something when she heard the horn of her husband driving into the compound.
NANA AISHA
my husband is back, come out and behave yourself and please my name is Nana Aisha..
ELLA
I will try.
Nana Aisha went downstairs to welcome her husband, immediately alihaji came inside she hu-gged him and ki-sses him on the li-ps.
Ella was shocked to see the king of person her friend got married to, he was like a morning sun, very beautiful like a woman….. but he was in his 50s, it was her kind of men… she immediately started losting after him
NANA AISHA
welcome my love, how was work today?
ALIHAJI

(he asked pointing at Ella)
NANA AISHA
oh she’s my friend, she just came back from the state… Ella meet my husband alihaji salami… babe this is Ella king, my best friend.
ELLA
good evening sir
SALAMI
it’s good to meet you… hope you are well?
He brou-ght his hand for a handshake, Ella took it and stare at him in a s-×y way.
Nana Aisha excused them and went into the kitchen to get water for her husband… salami took his seat, he was tired from the day’s activities.
THE BENSON’S RESIDENT
All throu-ghthe day Camila wasn’t okay, king left immediately he ate his breakfast, she went into her room to sleep but she couldn’t…. she was just thinking and unsettled.
King came back from work, he tried playing with his woman but notice she was absent minded.
KING
what is it babe? I noticed you have been acting strange all day, are you okay?
CAMILA
I’m fine baby, how was work today?
KING
you see what I’m talking about? you have asked me this question before, I’m sure you didn’t even remember.
CAMILA
babe I just have this bad feeling in my gut that something bad is about go happen
KING
something bad? don’t tell me you are worried about Ella?
CAMILA
I can’t really say this is the reason why I’m scared, but babe, this feeling is strong… I can feel it de-ep down in my gut.
KING
whatever it is, I’m sure you will see it…. you don’t have to stress yourself too much.
CAMILA
okay, dinner would soon be ready… I was so tired that I didn’t know that was far gone
KING
(He held her wai-st)
babe, I promise you that whatever Ella is planning is not going to work…. if she want to harm you, she will have to kill me first…. she can’t do you anything.
CAMILA
babe don’t talk like that, my parents have my sister so it won’t totally break their heart if something happens to me, but you? you are the only one Jasmine has got…what will happen to the poor child? I rather be the one.
King was surprise, in his life he has never seen such am amazing love….. he pulled Camila into his arm and hu-gged her crying
CAMILA
why are you crying my love?
KING
(Still hu-gging her )
I’m not crying, I’m just Happy, I’m so happy.
Camila hu-gged him back… later that night after dinner king and Camila went upstairs to freshen up and sleep when Anna called Camila.
CAMILA
good evening sister, how are you?
ANNA
(crying)
I think I’m in trouble, I think I’m in big trouble
CAMILA
calm down and tell me what happened
ANNA
someone caught Jordan and I ki-ssing
CAMILA
(She took in a de-ep breath)
you got me scared, I thought something worse has happened…. so who was the person that caught you ki-ssing Jordan?
ANNA
it was his ex, she hate me so much…. she still wants her man back so she’s doing everything to destroy me
CAMILA
I wonder why you are even crying Anna, I thought you want to end things with Alex… if she’s threatening to tell your husband turn let her, she’s just doing us all a favor.
ANNA
(She sniffed)
you think it’s easy? Alex will think I’m a lose woman, he will think I have always been cheating on him
CAMILA
and what is he? common girl, you don’t have a problem, so wipe this tears odd your face and go to bed…. and if I were you I will text him before that girl would, so you beat her to her game
They spoke for a very long time, king got tired of waiting for her to finish talking on the phone with her sister… he slept off.
