-TIARA
I get a text telling me he is outside the door. I walk over to open for him and take the big bag from him and then hand him an envelope before locking the door again.
“What do you want with me?”
She asks as I turn around to her
“You see, you being around is messing with everything. It's because of you that Mercy and I don’t get along anymore”
I say, she’s tired up on the bed
“Roland won't believe that I’m at Kyle’s house. He’s a hacker for heaven’s sake and he is very much paranoid”
She explains and I chuckle
“I don’t care what he believes. In fact maybe you should shut up now”
I say and then walk over to her and roll out some tape and put it over her mouth shutting her up while she pleads I not hurt her.
“finally some silence”
I say and then place the bag on the couch in her room
“I liked you, I thought you were a good person at some point.”
I tell her while taking out paraffin from the bag and matches then put the matches in my back pocket
“You see you ruined things. You were never supposed to get between Macella and i. She and I were fine and then you happened, you convinced her that I wasn’t good for her, that she cut all ties with me”
I open the lid and then turn around, I see fear in her eyes
“You ruined things for us and now, Mercy is going to choose between her life and yours”
I tell her and then splash the paraffin over the bed and then walk closer to her and pour it all over her from her head down to her feet and all over the bed and some on the curtains and everywhere except the couch with the bag until I run out. I’ve tied her to her bed with things I found in her closet. There's a knock on the door. I look at her and then fix my wig and walk to the door
“Who is it?”
I ask
“It's Macella”
The person says and the voice really sounds like hers. I smile proudly and then unlock the door and open it slowly. She walks in and I quickly shut the door behind her and then lock it.
“Aya what's going on? Are you ok?”
She says rushing to Aya’s side. Aya tries to communicate with her with her eyes but Mercy is slow to get it and by the time she gets the picture I’ve already covered her mouth with the cloth I used on Aya earlier
“Don’t try and act smart because it will only get you killed”
I warn Aya and she nods. Her phone rings, I take it out and check to see who is calling and it's her boyfriend. I walk over to her and rip the tape off her mouth
“If you try or say anything stupid I ill burn us all inside of this room”
I warn her and she nods, I answer the call placing her on loud speaker
“Aya is everything ok? Are we fighting?”
He asks with concern
“We fine. I just needed a break from you always being on my tail”
She says and I smile and nod then gesture that she speeds up the conversation
“I just pulled up your home. Please can we talk about this Aya, you my future wife and I’m worried about you”
He says to her
“Roland please. I just want some time with my siblings that’s all ok? Please just leave”
She says and I cut the call
“You better pray he bought that! One more person is missing here”
I say and then walk away from her and then search Yanga’s number on her phone and call him. Yanga changed his number and I can't reach him from his old one. He answers the call
“Aya what's going on? I’m with Roland”
Yanga says, his voice sounds so sexy and husky which only reminds me of how good he and I once were before all this mess with Mercy. Yanga has always been my crush from even before he came to study in my school and when I saw Mercy and everything she has gotten, I fell in love with her and her beauty and the person she is and the only way I was ever going to get close with Mercy was through Yanga.
“Hello Yanga, remember me?”
I ask him and he goes silent for a while
“Tiara? What's my sister’s phone doing with you? Why do you have her phone?”
I chuckle
“Come to her room alone and find out. Yanga if you try anything funny just know that Aya is dosed in paraffin and Macella is also here”
I warn him and he lets out a breath
“Fine. Don’t try anything stupid”
He warns
“This is why I loved you. Now come here quickly”
I tell him and then walk to Macella who is passed out and then tie her hands and her feet and then drag her body helping her sit up by the curtain. And then then walk to the mirror to take off my wig and fix my hair and try and look cute for him. I hear a knock and then walk to open the door slowly

-YANGA BESS
I am stunned by Tiara calling me from Aya’s phone. Roland looks at me
“Look, Aya just needs a break to breathe that’s all ok? Please leave and tomorrow morning or when she’s ready to talk to you she will call you”
I try to make him understand
“I don’t understand what I did to her Yanga. She and I were fine, we were good”
I shrug
“Look, let me talk to her and when she is ready to talk to you she will call you ok?”
I say and then he nods disappointed. I make my way to Aya’s room and then knock on the door and within seconds it's opens slowly
“Tiara it's me”
I say and she opens the door enough for me to get inside the room. My eyes roam the room and I spot Aya on the bed and Mercy on the floor
“Nice of you to join us”
She says as I turn to her, she holding a light open with a flame
“If you try anything then I swear I will burn this whole house down. Here is what is going to happen, I you are going to take that cloth and cover your mouth with it. Again I am warning you, if you try anything then I swear I will burn us all in here”
She warns again, I can't even call her bluff because the room smells of paraffin. I look at Aya and she nods with pleading eyes. I try to think fast but I’m worried about these two women in this room with this psycho. I take the cloth
“Clock is ticking or should I drop this lighter?”
