“Jam-nang…Please” Mimi said, with a sigh, closed her eyes and rested her head on the chair rest.
“What’s wrong with her?” Ken thought.
“Aren’t you gonna move?” Mimi muttered, her weak eyes lids still over her eyes
Ken sighed and revved the car to life which eventually left the sight.

“We’re here” Ken cooed. written by sommy pearl f.
Mimi slowly opened her eyes and looked at the house next to them.
“Thank you” She whispered.
“You’re welcome” He replied.
“Here” She handed some money to him.
“Keep it” He said, moving his side face.
Mimi arched her brows.
“You look familiar”
“Do I?” Kev asked, and turned around.
She gasped and covered her mouth with her palm.
“What are you trying to do?” She asked.
“I thought you were thanking me then. What happened?”
“That was because I never knew you were the the driver. Aren’t you a lawyer? Are you trying to still plan a revenge on me?”
Ken scoffed.
“Listen! You actually entered my car thinking it was a taxi. As a gentle man, I decided to drive you home. What’s wrong with that?”
“I’m sorry… I didn’t know”
“You can leave now. I wanna go home”
“So,,, you were actually a lawyer who was fighting for justice cause of Cindy?” Mimi asked, folding her arms.
“I don’t wanna talk too much, Mimi” He looked front.
“Awwn. You even know my name. What’s yours?”
“You don’t need to know”
“Is it Ken? I heard its Ken” She said, quickly.
“You know it now. So,,, leave”
“You basically ruined my life, you know that?”
“You deserve it”
Mimi chuckled, sadly.
“Yes,,, I do. Gina and I were tight friends. Really close. But do you wanna know the actually reason I was trying to be best friends with her?”
Ken said nothing. As usual, his eyes were on the front glass.
Mimi sighed and looked down.
“Because she was rich”
“You see, I come from a wretch poor home. But knowing and befriending Gina changed my life,,, I won’t lie. Gina turned my life upside down for good with her influence and wealth. She paid any f_cking bills and that of my parents”
“Tell me, How would I risk the friendship?. I just couldn’t cause there was a big benefit from it. I was willing to protect and strengthen it the more, no matter what. And to do that, I had to stay by her side and help her do things like I was a minion”
“That was why I helped her take down Cindy. I knew it was against the law. I knew it was evil but I had to do everything and anything for Gina even though she was against it. As far, it favoured her,,, I was willing to do it
“I wanted her to know I was a helpful friend. Maybe, she would help me foot my dad’s hospital bills…” Mimi voice trailed off and tears fell.
“Well, the plans failed and the money meant for my dad’s surgery got used to bail me out. Gina had to drift away from me cause of her dad’s warning. I’m no lesser than a Ɓîtçh and a bad person”
Ken looked at her.
“Its true. You’re a Ɓîtçh and a bad person”
Mimi took her eyes away from him, with tears rushing down her cheek.
“But you became Ɓîtçhy and a baddie for a reason…” He added.
Mimi sobbed loudly and covered mouth. written by sommy pearl f.
Ken sighed, knelt on the seat and hugged her while she cried.
“What of your dad? How’s he?” He asked.
“Not great. He was chased out of the hospital since I couldn’t foot his bills”
Mimi looked at him.
“Thank you. For the very first time since I came out from prison,,, Someone soothed me”
Ken forced a smile on his serious face.
“Someone out there could be like you. Bad. Evil. Villainous. Ɓîtçhy. But still has a very perfect reason just like you”
Mimi smiled and wiped her tears.

The next scene showed Rhoda who was watching the city view while her hand held something.
She sighed and looked at it. It was a flash drive.
“Should I show the whole world? She thought.
“Ariana and Malcolm s*x tape…” She whispered, and tightened her hold on the flash drive, then went back in.
