? Jackie ?
” What ? I asked in shock as she put the Bucket in my hands .
” Stop saying wow wow before you start sounding like ambulance,let’s go ” she said walking in front .
I didn’t say wow did I ?
I groaned frustratedly as I walked behind her .
” Good morning ma ..
”
” Good morning small madam” the maids greeted as they walked passed us .
” Ma are you really sure the tap is broken , maybe I can use another guest room ” I said frowning .
I mean c’mon I had expensive designer nails on and it cost me a lot to get them done .
I’ve never lifted anything to work my entire life , this woman is nothing but a pain in the @zz .
She had me walk to the back and the guards stared at us in confusion especially me and the Bucket .
” Oya go and fetch ” she said gesturing towards the tap .
I frowned as I matched with heavy strides . I placed my bucket under and tried to turn it on .
” Oh God ? ” I groaned frustratedly as it didn’t even move an hitch.
” What are you doing oyibo pepper ? She asked and walked over to me .
” That’s not how you do it” she said and switch it on .
” Tnx ” I said and waited for it to get filled.
She switched it off and walked in front .
” I ….can’t do it ma ” I said and she turned .
” That’s if you’ve decided not to take your bath today Jackie ,this is not America …this is Nigeria ” she said and I glared at her with anger and h@ťě vibrating in me .
I don’t like her
I don’t like her one bit , she’s Makin me work like a servant .
Who wakes up at 7 in the morning ? ?
” I’m waiting ” she said and I tried to carry the water and it dropped making half of the content pour on the floor .
She walked over to where I stood and returned it to the tap . I stared as she put the Bucket and refill .
This woman is the Devil’s daughter .
How did Dami even grow up with her in the first place ? It’s just my first day and I’m tired .
She’s something else , who has lots of maids and servants but does everything herself ?
I feel these people are just earning free salary ?
” Small madam …
Ha why you they carry this kind bucket now …water dey inside your room now “One of the guy said and although I couldn’t get everything he was saying I think he just said there’s water in my room .
” But ….it stopped when I tried using the shower ” I said and Dami’s mom walked into the mansion .
” Ah no too reason [ don’t think too much ] am small madam …it was switched off at the backyard .
My jaws dropped …now nobody would tell me dami’s mom is not crazy , she’s hundred percent crazy .
I rubbed my forehead tiredly and managed to carry the water to the bathroom .
When I got there the water supply was back .
I groaned frustrated as I took a shower .
When I got out of the bathroom , I remembered what she’d said about my outfit the other time and opted for a Decent top and black beans …then paired it with floffy slippers .
My phone rang and it was Damilare .
” Hello baby …how are you ? Are you still alife ? He asked immediately I picked up and I laughed .
” I’m still breathing so I guess that’s a yes ” I said and heard him sigh on the other hand .
” Thank goodness , how’s your relationship with mom ? Is she frustrating you ? I knew it was a bad idea letting you go with her , I’d just come pick you up ” he said and I chuckled .
” I think I can handle her what’s worse than making me fetch water so early ? I asked and heard him gasp .
” You did what ? You’re not used to fetching water Jackie ,why didn’t you tell mom ? What happened to the maids ? Why do you even have to fetch water in the first place ?we already have good water supply ” He said in one go .
” You can your mommy and ask her why she’s frustrating me , I mean she purposely switched off the supply in my room …my hands ache like hell …” I complained bitterly .
” It’s just a bucket of water though ! He said with a chuckle .
” Damilare I h@ťě you ! I said and he laughed.
” But you’re lucky …, I still remember when I was a kid about seven years old , I wanted to learn how to Sew clothes …but I didn’t know how . and well my partenal grandma had this sewing machine in her sitting room .
” I believed all I needed was the right material and design ,so I decided to make a skirt and blouse for my mom .
” I sneaked into my mom’s room and got out her expensive wrapper ..” He added .
” Let me guess you made the most horrible dress to have ever existed ” I said laughing .
” Yup and mom flogged the upcoming tailor out of me …I will never forget that day …it was horrible especially the family meeting after it ” he said as I laughed out tears .
” That was harsh ,but I loved every bit of it ” I laughed and he joined me .
” How about we go out tonight ? I mean I’d come over and ….” He trailed .
” Oyibo pepper ! I heard his mom call and groaned .
‘” my offer to escape still stands ” he asked .
” Oh get out ! I said as I cut the call .
I went into the kitchen just to see a tray on the other end .
” Go on ” she said and I glanced at was in it .
Breakfast , how did she know my favorite I Wondered .
” Dami’s dad is not around and we’ll …I’m not hungry yet , you can go have that ” she said and I gave a small smile .
Although she didn’t look at me but continued what she was doing .
I picked up the tray and made to leave .
” We’d be going out together ” she said and I made a crying face .
What’s the worse thing that can happen now ?
I wasn’t looking further to going out with this crazy woman at all .
~~~~~~~~~~
? ADESUA ?
” Good morning mummy ” I greeted my mom as I tried to sneak up to my room .
I mean I never liked my mom coming in my home when I wasn’t around , but well she always does .
” ADESUA! ” She called and I turned .
” Mom hey ” I smiled .
” Where are you coming from ? I was here since last night , you didn’t sleep at home ” she Scolded .
” I ….”
‘ wait why did you sleep here ? You left Dad all alone to sleep ? I asked and she rolled her eyes .
” Don’t you dare try to change this topic Adesua …where were you , I tried to call Feyi and he wasn’t picking my calls .
” Mom …I was looking after feyi okay ” I said camly .
” What … Adesua why ? What happened to him is he sick ? Funmi did not tell me anything like that ? She asked wondering .
” He’s not sick ” I said softly .
” He’s not sick and you volunteered to be his nanny ehhn Adesua” she scolded .
” I hope you have not
……” She asked and immediately.
” Mom c’mon don’t you trust me ” i said feeling bad .
” Ehhh…n I trust you my child ,it’s just when it comes to Feyi E get as the body dey do you [ there’s the way you behave ]
” Mom how do I behave ? I asked arms folded .
” Leave it , if I talk now , you’d say I’m thinking too much ,the truth is you’re the one that’s not thinking in the right direction” she said and I rubbed my forehead .
” What right direction ? Mom I can’t see feyi like that…” O trailed .
” Then what’s stopping you from seeing someone else like that ? Are you trying to lie to yourself Adesua ….you’re scared to love feyi ” she said and my jaws literally dropped .
” That’s not true … okay Feyi loves rose ,he had a bad breakup and I was just there for him ” I said as I sat down on the couch in my sitting room .
” It amazes me how you lie to your own mother….” She said camly .
” Fine ….I’d date someone else so at least you guys would stop forcing a relationship on the both of us ” I said angrily as I got up .
” GET ANGRY DATE SOME ONE if you like turn to another thing ….you’re just too blind to realize what your heart wants “she said and I looked away .
He loves Rose …And he’d never see me as a woman …infact I .. shouldn’t be thinking about those stuffs .
I’d just end up hurting like an idiot .
We are bestfriends ….

? JACKIE ?
” Ma ” I answered as I got into the kitchen .
” Wa ….” She gestured and I walked over to her .
” You shouldn’t stay far away from me ,when I’m in the kitchen ,how then would you learn ni ? She asked as the maids helped do different things .
” You have not removed those your willi Willi fingers ? [ Chicken legs ] she asked gesturing towards my nails .
” I ….” I trailed .
” No problem …come and help me watch the meats …and put them nearly inside that pot ” she said and I looked at her .
This is too much ?
She has maids ,I’m no one’s servant , I can’t do things like this c’mon
” Ma’am I don’t know how to do kitchen chores , and besides you have maids around this is becoming too much .” I said in frustration .
” How then will you learn Jackie ? Maids ? You keep shouting maids up and down ehhn
” Don’t you know that these maids you see around ,not all of them have good hearts and you’re getting married to a Nigerian man , Who loves home made food .
” Keep screaming maids maids …. Another woman would take your man under your nose ! She said and I gasp .
” Dami isn’t like that ,he wouldn’t cheat on me ” I said defending my man.
” See my armpit [ I’m innocent]
“Keep doing mmmmmm mmmm talking With your nose ,ofcause he doesn’t cheat …But you see I love my wife it’s not by mouth.
” I love my husband is not by sec and bieng a career woman , it’s not only the beauty Jackie …niether is it only the Seriose exersise in the other room .
” How much of a homemaker are you ? Today if you marry Damilare what would you teach your daughters ? You can’t even make an English breakfast all you care about is looking beautiful .
” Even to pick up your phone you call a maid ” she said and my eyes watered in tears .
” Dami might endure for now because its love in Tokyo …but when one of the husband snatchers sets their eyes on him …..
” I cover Damilare with the your blood ,she would steal his heart with the African kitchen and ….that’s when you’d realise I’m only Saving your lazy and spoilt brat .
” I won’t tolerate any of your madness anymore ,I can’t cook I accept it …I’m not even African why do you wanna force your rules down my throat ?
” I’m sick and tired of this” I screamed as I stormed up the stairs .
Dami likes African dishes ?
He’d leave me ?

? Damini.?
” Quincy come here ” I called my son and he laughed .
” No no no mummy…I still need to ki|| the robots first before they attack me ” he said as he bent his iPad from left and the sound from the digital game came out loud .
” At your face ….! He screamed excitedly .
” Quincy ” I called .
” Just a minute mummy ” he said as he stared at me .
Brown curly lush hair …he’s chocolate coloured skin and hazel eyed ,he’s the carbon copy of his father .
I smiled as I remembered his father .
Damilare Kings …
I still remember the passionate nights we spent at his beach house in London .
I’d mat Dami when he’d just joined his father’s company . He was wild and crazy player .
I used to work ashis father’s personal assistant and we’ll he got into my pants .
We f-__-ked around and well I got knocked up .
I loved dami with the whole of my heart infact I still love him , I’d tried to reach him when I found out about the pregame then realized he was in a serious relationship with Shola .
So I left …I decided to keep the baby and after all these years,I finally have the chance to get him back .
Shola is out of his life , and well I did hear he’s getting married. How would that marriage stand when I have his heir …
?
I didn’t need a Dna to prove my son belongs to the Kings ? His eyes and looks we’re the carbon copy of his father .
That American Barbie better know her place .
I thought with a chuckle .
