Chapter 2 They used almost four hours to train. I monitored the type of training they had and at times I could feel my body was shaking as if I was part of them. In no time they were dispersed to return in the evening. I couldn’t get up but wait for some time. Strangely, I realized that Baba Moore was walking towards the direction I was sitting. I turned to look at my back if someone was there. I started shivering in panic as he was walking majestically heading towards me. Actually, his facial expression didn’t show that he was infuriated. Baba Moore was a strong man judging from his personal appearance. I thought it wise to run away before it was too late. Baba Moore was not somebody one can joke with and I thought he was coming to punish me because I had watched all his training techniques and he felt cheated. Just as I stood up he pointed at me with a frown face and shouted on top of his voice that I should meet him. I had no option

Chapter 4 Is 10 dollars the last price? The seller burst into laughter as a result of what I said. I smiled weakly and fixed my eye directly into her eyes. She mockingly asked why, don’t you have money? I nodded shamelessly. She scanned at me properly from my hair through to the eyes down to my footwear. You look handsome but you don’t have money. Anyway, how much do you have she said? I quickly brought out the 5 dollar note in my pocket. She received it with a smile. Do you care for my business card? She asked. I was speechless and thought about it inwardly if there was the need to collect her business card. With a weak smile, I nodded shamelessly. The crowd around the book stand attention was focused on me. I felt embarrassed. She picked the card from her back pocket and stretched fort her hands in my direction. I was reluctant and looked at her. A deep voice came from behind where I was standing. Young man, collect the card you will

Chapter 6 I needed not be told that they were loaded with cash. In no time the man walked to me and handed a white envelope to me. I hastily opened the envelope to read what had been given to me. I could not hide my excitement when I realized that I had been employed to work on three months’ probation from the next day. I went closer to salute the man. Do you have any problems? He asked. I smiled and responded that I was ok. By 5:15 pm I was on my bed planning what to do tomorrow. I thought of washing my only jeans and my clock t-shirt so that I could start work with cleaned attire. I intentionally went to bed early so that I could have enough rest to start my new job. Surprisingly I could not sleep at all. By 5:00 o’clock in the morning, I had finished ironing my jeans. I thought it wise to get to the shop before my employers arrive. I succeeded because by 5:30 exactly I was behind the shop to meet the security guys. By 6 o’cl

Chapter 8 May was at the shop and she secretly handed a small piece of paper to me. I didn’t know why she decided to give it to me in secret. I put it into my pocket and bothered not to find out what was on the paper at the shop. I was confused why May, should give that paper to me in secret. Was it not a trap? The problem was that as soon as she gave the paper to me she just drove her car away. I didn’t ask her anything but I spied to find out if Lisa or Rosaline were not watching. Again another thought which surfaced was that I was not so close to May. I knew her because she was a classmate and a friend of Rosaline's. So if there was something at all it supposes to pass through the hands of Rosaline. Haven’t pondered on all these issues I made my mind that I was not going to do anything silly. I immediately left after the closing of work. As soon as I crossed the main road in front of the shop to the other end I picked up the paper f

Chapter 10 I smiled and said it was a deal. I signed the document as she had already signed her part. Thank you there is a second thing I want us to do. She put white linen material on the table and put an empty glass on the material. She took a sharp knife slightly cut one of her fingers and to my amazement stretched her hand on the glass for four drops of her blood. I also did the same when I was asked to do it. She pours some wine into the glass and shook it. She took another glass divided it into two and placed the two glasses on the white material. She lighted three white candlesticks and placed them around the white material. She said this is a secret blood covenant between the two of us that no matter how painful treatment we will go through we will never reveal the secret of OUR MARRIAGE to anyone. Both of us shouted sure and took the glass and drank the mixture of the blood and wine. It was late so she dropped me at Zongo lane. After all,
