MADAM [UNEDITED]

••21••

      "Sylvia how have you being coping with your sleepless nights." Oga Timmy asked looking at me worried. I couldn't even hold it anymore, I started crying. "No Timmy, it's being bad. I can't sleep at all, anytime I close my eyes all I see is my son. I didn't even get to know him or touch him. I carried and suffered with him for nine full months only for him to be murdered twelve years later without me carrying him in my arms." I sobbed uncontrollably on his chest.

       "Let it all out dear." He said while patting my back. "I wasn't even allowed to enjoy motherhood, I didn't have the opportunity to stay awake to take care of him." I cried my eyes out, he just held me close. "I can feel your pain Sylvia, I know what it is to lose a child."

     
       "No you don't, I'm a mother. I didn't have the opportunity to breastfeed my child neither did I get to name him. During my pregnancy Ovie beat me so many times that I lost consciousness, I don't even know how I survived because I was highly malnutrioned. Only for me to give birth to him and he's supposedly dead because he had trouble breathing. How do you expect me to be mentally, emotionally and physically okay?" I said while looking at him the eyes. "Madam your son's death has rally taken a toll on you. I suggest you forget about this revenge before it kills you." Timmy advised looking at me sceptically.

       "Never!! Don't you ever say that again to me in your life Timmy or else I'd forget every single thing we've been through together and I'll kill you on the spot. I would never stop trying to kill Ovie Ofure, he turned me into who I am, a bloodthirsty animal and I'm out for his." I shouted throwing the glasses at him. I was furious he made such suggestion. How dare he? "Madam please listen to me, I only mean well." He said while raising up his hands up in defense.

      "Leave now Timmy and get me a cigarette while you are at it before I loose my mind!". I barked searching for my lighter. I can't remember where I dropped it but I'm sure it can't just grow legs and leave my room. "But Madam, you don't smoke." "Don't let me feed you to the dogs, get me one now. There's always a first time." After he left I collapsed on the bed sobbing, I needed a drink at the moment so I went to my secret stash of Mc dowells and downed a full glass. That night I had the worst sleep ever.

THE FOLLOWING MORNING
        "Madam, madam please open up it's urgent." Razor said knocking on my door continuously. I had a pounding headache at that moment after my drink last night so I hope what he has to say is worth it or  I promise I'll blow out his brains. "I'm coming okay, calm down. No be fight abeg." I said while standing up to unlock the door. "Madam I've finally been able to reach Georgina, she's on the line now." That's good news. "Wait, what? You are just telling me now." I said while taking the phone from him.

      "Hello Sylvia I see you've being bugging my line. What do you want?" She asked sounding blunt. "I need to talk to you and see you Georgina. It's important." I said. "Spill it already, this is the first time you want to see me and we don't like eachother." She said going straight to the point. Smart girl. "Fine, I need your help." I know I'm going to regret this. "Wow I knew this day would come. I'll send my address. Don't be late." She said tauntingly. I seriously despise this woman.

LATER THAT DAY,
     "I didn't expect you to come, you must really need my help." said Georgina, the snake herself. It took a lot for me to come here, I had to swallow my pride. I need to do this for myself and to avenge my child, I'm not the only one involved again. "I'm not here for you to yab me. I'm here to talk business." I said while making myself comfortable on the sofa. I won't lie though, she had nice state. Her house was exquisite but simple and modern. "Sylvia, Sylvia. The Madam herself is in my house. What can I offer you?" She said giving me a sickening sweet smile.

     All I wanted to do at that moment was to scar that her beautiful face. "I'm fine, I don't want anything." "Let me guess, you think I'd want to poison you. Pathetic." She snorted. Please God help me or else I'd be sending another soul to the pits of hell. "With you anything is possible Georgie." I knew she disliked but trust me to taunt her with it. At the mention of it her nose flared up. Perfect, I've struck a nerve. I can't be the only one at the receiving end.

       "Listen to me b***h you can't just come to my house and insult me. The least you can do is respect me." She whispered threateningly. It didn't faze me at all that she was getting angry. I'm a woman on a mission. "Enough with this, let's get straight to the point." If she's expecting an apology then she's got another thing coming. "What do you want?" She asked. "I need your help to bring Ovie down." "What makes you think I'd be willing to risk my life to help you because you know very well how he is. He's a conniving b*****d."

      "I'd give you 500kilograms of cocaine and 500kilograms of heroine." I offered. This was a deal that was inviting and also hard to resist. "That sounds interesting but it's still risky for me." She replied crossing her legs looking at me like she wants to devour me whole. "I know you hate him as much as I do. Why don't you use this opportunity to revenge." She looked like was thinking about it and probably considering the idea. I pray she does because I need her. "It's a deal, I expect the shipment tomorrow morning." That was easy.

       "You agreed just like that. I expected you to put up a fight." This was suspicious I didn't expect her to give up so easily. "Do you want my help or not?" She mocked. "Is it the same warehouse you want me to deliver it to." "No it's not, I'll send you the location." "When did you get a new one. I never heard of that news." I was intrigued yet intimidated. For her to get a new warehouse that means she's growing and I can't afford to have competition in this business.

       "Remember we're not friends so you don't know anything about me. Are you scared I'm going to take you out of business Madam." She said changing the topic. It looked she was avoiding the topic but I'd let that slide. For now. "You can never be higher than me even in your wildest dreams. It's a deal then, let's shake hands for formality." I countered taking my leave. She looked shocked but she composed herself. "I'm not going to shake hands with the devil herself. You can see yourself out now." She fumed like a bull ready to charge.

   "Timmy the deal has been sealed." I said talking on the phone. "That was easy, I thought it would take days to convince her." "I thought that too but I think she's really low on merchandise. Anyways I'll see you soon, I'm heading out now." "Be careful Sylvia." "I always am Timmy." I just took one step but I felt I was being watched, I looked up at the building through the window to see if anyone was there but unfortunately no one was.

I think I'm just been paranoid.
