Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 22

STEVE’S POV :

I felt my whole world put on a hold — How could Michelle do this — Allowing envy to rule over her heart — no this is unforgivable, My parents died because of some stupid envy and competition they knew nothing of — they were innocent, why has God decided to let the evil intentions of the wicked ones prevail ? I felt like crying but no tears came out — my whole body was lifeless but how I could still stand on my feet was a mystery.. Michelle — I’ll get back at you, you can’t get away with this one …

MICHELLE’S POV :

I was speechless, hurt, confused and shattered — I felt my heart trying to pull out from my ribs, i was finding it difficult to breathe, How did Stanley get a hold of that ? When did I even make such a statement — I’ve been such a fool — beaten at my own game; Stanley and Mr. |barley had betrayed me – not only did they kill the family of the man I love, they also made look like an enemy before him — pulling every suspicion from them — how do I begin to explain considering the fact that Mr. Barley walks for me — Stanley really did his math and I was blinded by my love for him — He used my feelings for him against me…

STEVE : Michelle, my parents were innocent — they were not a part of this competition ?

MICHELLE : No, Steve — I dint kill your parents, I can’t do that — believe me

NIFE : Oh just shut up, you lying b—h — you still have the guts to lie, huh ?

MICHELLE : (yells at Nife ) Oh just shut up ! I’m not a b—h and I can’t remember you being Steve’s guardian as well as his —

STEVE : (Interrupts her) Michelle, does Mr. barley work for you ?

MICHELLE : (bites her lips) yes, he does — he’s part of my security team in my company but I —

STEVE : (nods his head ) its okay, Michelle — thank you for saying the truth

MICHELLE : (walks to him) Steve, believe me — I dint kill your parents — I can’t do that … not me

STEVE : ( shouts ) then who did ? (cries) who did, Michelle ? who?! (pushes her away) I’m sorry stay away from me, Michelle — the next time I set my eyes on you we are enemies .. (the security men leads him away )

MR. POPOV : Wahala ! Wahala !! WHAT A BOMBSHELL ?! (walks out )

PRINCIPAL : I can’t believe this .. (walks away )

NIFE : (shakes her head) Michelle, I hate you ..( walks out )

MICHELLE walks up to STANLEY : you bastard !!! framing me up huh ? you cant win — not in this battle — Michelle Simpson never loses !!!! she never does (points her hand to her chest)

STANLEY : (chuckles) Let’s play then — in the game of chess, they’re no champions — everyone is bettered everyday (laughs) <<<<>>>>

UNCLE JOE : (walks up to where Michelle was lying down on the floor crying ) Michelle — Michelle

MICHELLE 🙁 raises her head to meet him) I dint kill them, Uncle Joe — I dint kill Steve’s parents — You have to believe me

UNCLE JOE : I believe you, Michelle — I really do

MICHELLE : really ? (he nods) thanks I’m glad you do (embraces him) but Steve — he thinks I killed them

UNCLE JOE : shh–hh Michelle, Steve will come around- — i’ll talk to him (drags her to her feet)

MICHELLE : thanks, uncle joe

MISS HILDA : You guys make me jealous, let’s just leave already

they all walk out

After making his announcement, Mr. Popov stepped down from the podium and walked away amidst murmurs and chatters from some students across the hall — Steve forcing his cousin into sex was impossible –

UNCLE JOE : Steve, what are your plans now ?

STEVE : I have none, Uncle Joe — let me get home first and see my uncle

UNCLE JOE : okay — be careful and keep me updated with any developments

STEVE : sure (turns to leave)

UNCLE JOE : ehem — Steve —

STEVE : (turning to meet him) (interrupts his words midway) I know what you want to say — I know Michelle couldn’t have been the one to kill my parents, there’s a lot of hidden facts surrounding my parents death but that doesn’t make her free from the fact that — she was who ordered Mr. |Barley to investigate my parents in the first place ….

UNCLE JOE : yeah, i know

DEAN : what comes up man — I got yo back real time

SAMMY : Same here bro — even it means kicking your uncle’s ass if that is needed

STEVE : (laughs) I’m ever grateful knowing you guys — we’ll remain friends for life and I’ll miss you guys

DEAN : awwn — don’t sound like a babe —

SAMMY : and don’t make me cry

they hugged each other one last time and he left

Steve got home to meet his bags outside — he was surprised and shocked

NIFE : what is going on here ?

SECURITY MAN : na yoga and chsmall mayam wey sey make I drop am por outside

NIFE : what ?! how could Tola and Dad do this ?

Uncle Dan walks outside that minute

NIFE 🙁 walks up to him) Dad, whats going on — why is Steve’s bags outside ??

UNCLE DAN 🙁 points to Steve ) you’re ungrateful after everything you rape my daughter .. you ?!

TOLA : (walks out and meets Steve — pours a hot saliva on his face ) that’s for sleeping with my sis and taking her virginity — now, get away from this house

NIFE : No dad, |Steve dint—

STEVE : (interrupts her) Its okay Nife — no need to explain — Your dad’s mind is made up —
Thank you, Uncle Dan for everything you have done for me these past months I’ve been here- – I’m grateful
Tola, thank you for your care and support all these while — ill never forget the little chats and smiles we shared..

Nife, I most say : you’re a jewel — and ill miss you but wherever the wind of life throws me to I can never forget your love for me — GOODBYE

Steve dragged his bag out of his uncle’s house — unsure of where he was going, he was crying but he needed to be strong — he needed to be his own comforter now and thrive to be better

LATER THAT NIGHT —
Nife explains all that happened to her dad and tola

UNCLE DAN : what ?! so Steve dint sleep with you — why dint you tell me earlier

NIFE : dad– I hate you you couldn’t even let the poor boy explain — why ?!

TOLA was already crying — : I spat on him and threw his stuffs out — Oh God

UNCLE DAN : (looking dejected ) I have a confession to make my children– Steve is not my nephew and he’s not your cousin —

NIFE AND TOLA : what ?!!

UNCLE DAN : yes — me and his dad were childhood friends but we are not blood Brothers

NIFE : Oh Dad .. and you still chased him out ? why ?

UNCLE DAN : I dint know what came over me and Mr. Popov promised me a cheque of #50,000,000.00 if I chased him away and I accepted — moreover he raped you so it was like getting justice and a little compensation —- I never knew Mr. Popov lied to me and Steve dint rape you…

TOLA : dad you’re despicable, you sold your friend’s son out for 50 million — dad, I’m disappointed

NIife ran up to her room
