Ire's pov

"So she really came?" Damola asked for the tenth time today.

"Yeah" I replied again

"After how many years?"

"Four"

"Remind me again, why did she come?"

I looked up at him. He has asked this question over and over again.

"Mom invited her over, claiming that Sekemi is sorry for all she had done" I replied

"Wow!, sorry indeed"

I nodded

"What if she is really sorry or let me rephrase it, what if she has changed"

"You need to see the way she was looking at Adaeze, that means she hasn't changed"

"What does she really want?"

Can't this guy let me rest.

"What else, if not for my money" I replied

"Ire, I don't think it is the money, I mean, her father has that so what does she need the money for"

I stood up from my seat and walked towards the window.

"She is no longer with her family" I turned back to look at him.

"I don't get"

"When she told me to give her space, I learnt that she ran off with a rich guy which her father had refused" I paused before continuing "Remember her parents and my mother wanted me to married?"

"Yeah"

"When her father realised that she left me, he told her to come back. Sekemi ran away with the so called guy after her father threatened her"

"How do you know that?"

"I paid someone to follow her about. Like I was saying, Sekemi found out that the guy was a drug dealer but it was already late. She was already pregnant for him back then"

I took slow steps back to my desk and sat.

"What happened to the pregnancy?" He asked.

"She lost it, the guy started molesting her when he realised that she knows what he does for a living. When she lost the pregnancy, she ran back from Abuja to Lagos"

"Abuja?"

"Yeah, that was where they ran off to"

"Did her family accept her back?"

"No, her father had already disowned her so she has no where to go"

"Good for her" He said with a smirk.

My telephone rang

"Yes"

"Sir, a woman is here to see you" Mrs Ene spoke

"Name?"

"She refused to say it" She replied.

"Send her in" I hang up.

"Who was that?" Damola asked.

"Mrs Ene, she said a lady is here to see me"

"Who?"

"She didn't give her name"

There was a knock

"Come in"

In came one of the last person I expected, Mrs.....
