*Nigerian Themed Novel*
FRIENDSHIP.ENVY.BETRAYAL.LOVE.LUST AND OBSESSION.
Six screaming words in this drama filled story.
Having met in the university, Nnenne and Adaeze shared a beautiful friendship. That was until, envy snuck into Adaeze's heart...
At around 5am: Lanre was dozing on the chair when he heard Nnenne's scream emanate from the ICU. He, the doctor and nurses rushed immediately.
Nnenne was frailing, turning and throwing her hand in the air vehemently as if to ward off an attack. Neon images of the tragic event tortured and replayed in her mind like the wing motion of a flying eagle.
She was sweating profusely, her mouth and body trembling in fear. Lanre ran to support her but was held back by the nurses. He stood watching through the door, anguish flowed through his veins as he realized the depth of pain that she was feeling.
Nnenne was soon injected with a sedative and she fell back unconscious. Lanre retired to the waiting room.
🇳🇬••🇳🇬 Around 9 am: Pssst! Adaeze called the attention of a warden from a corner. She looked at her puzzled, before she dropped the mop and headed to her direction.
"Do you know what is wrong with the patient in the ICU?" She asked, the cleaner looked on confused. She sighed. "The rape victim" Adaeze clarified
"Oh!" the cleaner exclaimed, realizing what she meant. "Shhhh!" Adaeze shunned, beckoning on her to lower her voice.
The warden looked around as she reduced the pitch of her voice. "All I know be say, she dey critical condition" "My job no be for that side" she pointed out.
Adaeze dug her hand in her purse and brought out a pack of 500 naira notes. The cleaner observed, greed widened her eyes as she poked her head in different directions to make sure no one was seeing them.
"I need your help ehn, the girl is my friend and I want to see her. I was here before, but her bodyguard didn't let me see her."
"Ehya!" The cleaner remarked, leering at the money. Adaeze's extended the money to her "take this money, I just need you to inform me the minute he leaves." "My guess is that, he would leave in the morning to freshen up. Immediately he does, call me" she explained, scribbling her number on a small shit of paper she had earlier taken from her bag. "See that black Porsche" she said, pointing to the car. The nurse viewed on clueless.
Adaeze rolled her eye in irritation as she noticed the lady wasn't understanding.
"That black fine car na! The one beside the big Jeep" she pointed a lot more energetically. "Oh! I don see am" the warden nodded. "Ehn, just call me when once the car leaves. Okay?" "No wahala—problem, I go call you immediately" "Thank you" Adaeze smiled as the lady collected the paper and they went off in different directions.
