Chapter 7

Dara knelt before her bible and daily devotional then she raised a worship songs as led by the spirit.

🎶Do something new in my life, something new in my life, something new in my life oh Lord🎶

Then she went further to make the declarations from the devotional.

"My family will not lack this year! I decree and I proclaim marriage in this family this year! Move us from oblivion to the limelight! Let people see us and believe that we're serving a God doesn't fail or disappointed. Turn my reproach around for my good!" She stated then busted into tongues.  

"In Jesus name I pray" she finally said then she heard a voice say "Amen"

Dara gasped turning towards Brenda who was kneeling with her. She didn't even notice her come in because her eyes were closed while she prayed. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

"Look at somebody that just prayed, scared over nothing."

Dara hissed rising up but Brenda remained on the floor. "Did you pray for God to forgive me?" She asked and Dara shrugged. "For what exactly?" "For being disrespectful at the diner and many other sins"
"You didn't tell him did you?" "No. He asked me if I had anything i wanted to tell him"

"That was an open cheque to let him know you're not the boss of S and A"

"You think I didn't realize it? I almost told him but I couldn't. I like him and we kissed"

Dara sighed. "I can't be lying to my boss. What it blows over, it'll blow on my face too" "Please just let me handle it myself" "Till when Brenda? The funny thing about lies is that, it keeps accumulating and if I know it's going to keep on building till you have a skyscraper of lies"

"Geez!"

"Does he even know you have a son?"

Stella got out from the bathroom in towel only to find Andy holding a tray consisting of two pieces of sliced bread, a fried egg and a tea. "Breakfast after shower, done out of love for you darling" he dropped it on the bed then he walked up to her wrapping his hands around her waist.

"What's got you all happy?"

"Nothing in particular" he replied and Stella shook her head. "Huh huh, it has to be something"

"Can you give me some cash? I'm kind of in need of it"

"Like how much?"

"Two hundred"

"Two hundred what? Naira?"

"You know what I meant"

"What? Baby, I can't do that. I'm saving towards our wedding in case you still don't have a job when the time comes"

"Come on Babe, it's for a good course. I'll get a good job and then I'll repay you back. I'll spoil you like I always do" he caressed her and she pulled back.

"What's is it for?"

"Remember when I said I had a plan, well yesterday I executed the plan"

"Babe, I didn't give you the go ahead to"

"Come on! You're always so serious. It worked, according to Efe" "Wait Efe? The gigolo? You want to fix my sister with someone that strips for a living? You couldn't find a better person"

"Well I believe in his Ministry to move your sister's ministry and I need to give him starting pay. According to him, your sister  already likes him. Why won't she? Your sister will like anyone who appreciates the beauty she doesn't have" he snapped laughing to himself and Stella frowned.
