This isnt your home! sophia fired back. Just then Amara noticed Laras presence. Lara? Welcome ma. Lara greeted her. Whos this uncultured woman? Your maid? she gestured towards Sophia. Errrm..Lara began. Sophia, meet ...ermm..Tonysmother, and errmmm, ma please meet, Sophia- Tonys errmm... Lara stuttered. So it is true?! Amara exclaimed. Just then Tony came back from wherever he went. Mum? What are you doing here? he asked suprised letting his breifcase drop. What am I doing here? So what I heard is true? So its true that youve been maltreating Lara? That you even brought your mistress into your matrimonial home? Amara shrieked. Tony bent his head, he knew he was in trouble. So this is what youve turned into? A Dog? Amara yelled. I know what to do...Im calling your father right away! She threatened picking her phone. No no no..please mum, dont do that...Id be in trouble if you call dad...Sophia is leaving right away..Ill turn a new leaf... Tony held her hand pleadingly. He walked into the guest room, appeared carrying Sophias bag. Sophia, leave now! he shoved the dumbfounded Sophia towards the exit. You too, go and bring your bag, youre coming with me! Amara told Lara who was silent. But...ma... Laras eyes widened. I say go and bring your bag, I cant leave you here with this beast! What if he murders you! Amara shrieked. Mum..please dont take her away. Tony pleaded. Try to stop me! she glared at him, dragging Lara out of the house; with her bag and all. :::::::::*******. Tony knotted his tie whilst sipping some coffee. The night had been terrible, different night mares taunting him, he was awake 75 percent of the night. He ignited his car, and Lara crossed his mind. Her beautiful eyes that widens when shes scared was all he could see. Hes been just wicked to her, only God knows the story shes telling his father now about him. He changed his gear and sped on the highway. He knew his father wont spare him, he would take the company off his hand, collect all he has and worst of all disown him. Oh poo! he rubbed his eyes. He opened them lazily at first, then they popped out. A madman was standing on the road before him, just a few yards away. He couldnt stop the car cos he was moving at a high speed. He expertly turned the steering wheel moving the car off the road. The car swerved beyond control, he muttered some quick prayers, he was sure he would die. The car somersaulted throwing him out through the window... :::::::*****: Lara giggled as she bit into her roasted chicken, she was having lunch with her in-laws. She felt joy surge through her veins, what more could she ask for? She felt loved by them. They were doting on her, most- especiallyher father in-law Chief Ifiora. I taught your mother in-law how to cook o. Ifiora chuckled at her. well I taught him how to eat! Amara said and they all burst out laughing. Lara watched them as they laughed, they looked so much alike; happy couples she thought as she smiled. When I was a boy, I helped my mother in the kitchen. Ifiora said with pride. well thats cos you liked it. Amara replied. Not at all! I was an only child thats why! he defended himself. Hmm...Tony Is an only child too, but cant make himself a mug of coffee. Amara chirped cleaning her mouth with a napkin. Lara felt shivers run down her spine at the mention fo Tony, she saw her father-in-law cringe too. Talking about Tony... Ifioras voice became coarse. He couldnt even call or do something...hes expecting me to call him right? he shook his head. I guess so! Amara made a face. Hmm, Im going to teach him a lesson hell never forget! he basked like a lizard in the sun. Lesson? That boy is soooooo stubborn! Amara said with disgust. Chief Ifioras phone rang loudly. A strange number... Amara said giving the phone to him. Hello? he listened for a while. Yes youre speaking with Chief Ifiora... he listened again. What?! he rose to his feet. Lara stopped eating, she wanted to know what was happening. Okay, okay, Im coming right away! He ended the call. Darling get me my Jacket! he told Amara. What happened? Lara asked quitely. Oh, nothing really, just eat your food. he forced a smile. Ogini? What going on? Amara appeared holding his jacket. He whispered something to her in Igbo, for once Lara wished she understood Igbo. We need to go now! Lara take care! Amara said throwing a scarf round her head. Can I come with you? Lara rose to her feet. No..you just take care, okay? Well be back soon. Amara said as she and her husband left through the exit. Lara sighed deeply as she heard them drive out of the compound. Definitely something is wrong some where....she fidgeted nervously.
