This one is for you @Iamtitilope
Tiwa's POV
Welcome to Murtalar Muhammad Airport Lagos
As soon the plane touched down my mood changed. I was feeling all sorts of emotions at the same time. Anger, Sadness ,surprisingly nervous. I can't help but think maybe coming back isn't a good idea. Perhaps I'm not ready to face my past and the demons in it.
I could carry out my plan from abroad but then again what's better than watching your enemies cry at your feet while sipping a glass of champagne.
Victoria decided to come with me. As soon as we got off the plane Mike was waiting, leaning against one of the SUVs he brought to pick us. Dressed up in suit with shades on , I'm sure he came from the office.
My kids ran to hug him happy
"Uncle Mike!!!"
"Hey little chap and my princess" he highfive Lekan and hugged him then carried Nikki to spin her around a little. He was laughing asking them how the flight was. Mike has always been there, never for once leaving me. He always found time to visit us in London and would never miss their birthdays.
He stops talking to the twins and looks up at me smiling . I just wanted to run into his hands and let him tell me I made the right decision in coming back.
I walked into his arms hugging my best friend tight. We didn't have to say anything ,the seven years old wound that I was trying to heal had reopened and he knew it .
"You'll be fine " he whispered into my ears . I hope so "welcome back "
"Heyy enough with all the emotional drama " I smiled but it didn't reach my eyes. Putting on a strong font in front of my kids and Victoria but Mile knew better.
"Mike remember Victoria ?" I tried to brighten up
"Of course, the most efficient PA as you like to put it" Mike said shaking Victoria's hand.
"Welcome to Nigeria Vicky. Can I call you that?" He smiled at her and Victoria was already blushing. He is always a charmer.
"Thanks Mr Mike and yes you can "
"That's great."
"Ehm Victoria, you and my kids will ride in one . Mike and I will be in the other, we'll meet you guys ahome " There was somewhere I needed to be first.

An hour later
As the car stopped I felt like I couldn't breathe because it means I'm there. For once I didn't mind Lagos traffic as it made my journey back to the reality of my life abit longer and I couldn't be more grateful.
I sat still not moving. Mike held my hand trying to tell me I wasn't alone.
"Let's go " he said
"No, I need a minute by myself " he nodded not saying anything
The driver opened the door , the moment my feet touched the sand, it broke,the wall i had spent the last seven years building started crumbling.
I looked at around, everything has sure changed. I walked a little until I got to the place.Development everywhere but it looked different from the rest, untouched just as it has always been except my grandparents house was no longer where it use to be. Now it's just sand everywhere.
My poor grandparents, I never even got to say goodbye. I was suppose to be with them during their last days but I was busy wasting my life in that God damn villa waiting for him to come back. How foolish I was. I wish I got here earlier maybe I could have saved my grandparents .
