Layler's POV.

I wake up at 8am in the morning, brush my teeth and then I head to the dining room.

"Morning madam...uhmmm Layler, breakfast will be ready in a few"
Emeka and Okafo sleep in the cottage outside while I live with Jessica in the main house...I do not see the need for all of them to be here, the only relevant person is Emeka because he is showing me around aside from that I am very much capable of opening the gate for myself and making my own breakfast thank you.

Jessica brings a bowl of sausages, toasted brown bread, bacon, scrambled eggs, a bowl of yogurt and some fruits on the side and porridge as well.

"Are the others joining us?" I ask because this is just way too much food for one person.

"No I already gave them their own food." She says then she walks away.

"Aren't you joining me?"

"It's not very normal for the help to eat with the masters" She says and I laugh.

“Really now Jess? You are almost my age mate, come on now, take a seat and leave all the formalities aside" I say and she doesn't bother to argue, good.

I take a bowl and I pour in some fruits and then I add some yogurt.

"So tell me all about you Jess"
Her physical appearance is quiet simple, she is a black girl, light skinned, she wears the uniform I assume Alvaro also organized for all of them because they all seem to wear uniform, she has short black hair and she seems to be a proper girl.

"Oh well there isn't much to me, I am currently studying medicine. I got a bursary that's paying for it"

"Then why did you decide to get a job?"

"Because this job pays really well, and I have my mother to support, she is all I have, my uncle took away everything my father left for my mom when he died so we had to fend for ourselves"

"Oh I see, how's school?"

"I am top of the class" She says with a smile.

She seems determined to be a doctor, my initial career was to be a chemical engineer but hey! Plot twist!
I do not care if you want to be a member of the winx club, be that ish Fermin was the one to motivate even the directionally impaired in life with his sarcastic words, sarcasm always came outta his mouth, sometimes he would vomit the words.

"Great, it seems to me that you are quite focused, tell you what? You can clean the house on weekends only and you only have to make dinner, as for the rest I will do myself"

"Mada...Layler but why?"

"You need to pass dear so I want to help you and Alvaro will still pay you what y’all agreed on"

"Wow you are a different kind of madam"

"Thanks for the compliment...anyway tell me about the churches around here"

"Oh well there are a lot of churches around here but the biggest one is the one that is run by the foreign nuns, they travel all over the world spreading the gospel"

"Do you know any of them?"

"Nope not personally, Sister Angela, Sister Patricia and Sister Quela spend most of their time in villages around here. They do a lot of-"

"Tell me more about sister Quela"

"There isn't much about her, she often spends time with my mom whenever she is at the village, very kind and down to earth really...she comes from America, she moved here I think 25 years ago, that is all I know about her"

"Mmmmm" I close off the topic, the less I ask the less suspicious she will get.
I told her about how I came here to start a new life and how I would like to meet the sisters so that they can help me with the process. After that we had random chats for an hour or so.

This house isn't a double story house it's just a normal house, four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a study room, kitchen, living room and a dining room.

But still it's just too big. I take a bath, put on my maroon pencil skirt that ends just below my knee. I put on a white shirt and a maroon sleeveless blazer then I wear my white stilettos. I look like the female version of Fermin, I miss that fucker.

I tie my hair in a bun then I take my white handbag and I head on out. I told Emeka that we are going to the sister's church somewhere around here, he knows where it is so directions aren't necessary.
We leave the house and when we get to the church I tell Emeka to wait in the car and that I won't be long because I have business matters to handle at Mbachi Village.

I enter the church and I spot a young man kneeling across the altar, I walk slowly towards him because I do not want my heels to make noise.

"Uhmmmuhmmm" I say trying to get his attention.

"Oh madam"
What is it with people around here calling me madam?

"Hi I am Layler, Layler Messiah" I say as I shake hands with him.

"Me be the one they call Shabba" He says as he hits his chest with his hand.

"Oh pleased to meet you, I am looking for sister Quela?"

"Oh madam go back to village na, she say she go pray for the people, when she com bark eh I will tell her you were looking for her, who be your name again?"

"No it's okay no need to tell her, I will come back some other time, thank you" And with that I leave the church and the minute I enter my car I let out a sigh.

"Anything the matter madam?" Emeka asks.

"Layler"

"Sorry Layler"

"No, take me to Mbachi village now please" I ask and then he starts the car and off we go.
