Mean while…
Yinka: (on the phone) Akila baby, where you at? I need somebody to drive me home. My mum is gone and the father of the baby has gone with his girlfriend.
Akila: You are so funny. I am actually on my way to the hospital. Hope you are feeling better now.
Yinka: Yep, I am feeling way better now that I know Ashley is also pregnant. That actually made my day.
Akila: Yinka, I am so sorry, but what’s up with Taiwo though? Is he trying to take over the world, having a thousand children or what?
Yinka: It is well Akila.
Akila: So you are just going to let it go like that? I thought you loved Taiwo.
Yinka: I do Akila, with all my heart, but unfortunately I decided to build a wall around me before I gave love a chance. So now, what is left to do is for me to let Taiwo be with Ashley, and I will be happy with my son. I am not ready to fight for a man.
Akila: I understand.
Akila met Yinka at the hospital. She knew that her friend was not even close to letting Taiwo go, and deep within her, she knew that Ashley’s pregnancy was a lie. Akila drove Yinka to her apartment, fed her and then put her to bed. Around 10 pm, Yinka’s phone starts ringing.
Akila: Hello.
Jade: Yinka?
Akila: No, this is Akila. Yinka is sleeping, Jade?
Jade: Akila hun, how are you? I just wanted to let Yinka know that my friend and I are now in New York. I told Yinka that we were going to stay with her, so we are on our way there.
Akila: Jade baby, I am here with Yinka but there’s something you need to know. She blacked out during the fashion show after learning that she was pregnant.
Jade: Who is the father of the baby?
Akila: Taiwo.
Jade: OMG, that is amazing girl. Yinka finally decided to go serious with him.
Akila: Well, Taiwo is engaged to another woman.
Jade: What???!
Akila: Jade, it’s better we discuss it when you come around. Just remember not to be too curious about Yinka and Taiwo, ok?
Jade: No problem baby. I’ll be as quiet as a convalescent patient.
Akila : See you in a bit.
(Deborah and Jade talking)
Deborah: What was all that shouting about?
Jade: Girl, it looks like this trip is going to be full of sweet drama.
Deborah and Jade took a cab to Yinka’s house. While Jade was getting in touch with his booty calls, Deborah was still thinking about Mr. Daniel’s case. To her, there were some pieces missing in the puzzle. His wife was murdered while he was on a trip. Then, the body was found by his daughter, who later moved to New York; she was never really a suspect.
Jade: Deborah, we are here.
Deborah: Oh wow, this is a nice building.
Jade: The Trump building to be precise. For crying all loud girl, move it. I know the building is nice but it doesn’t talk, move it.
Jade and Deborah went up the lift to Yinka’s apartment. Akila opened the door.
Akila: Hey ya, how are you doing? Deborah, I am Akila, Yinka’s best friend.
Deborah: Nice to meet you.
Akila: Excuse my rudeness, come in.
Jade: Oh wow, Yinka has done well here. I remember when Yinka used to be an escort girl. I met her one day on the road, it was raining and she was running away from a stalker. I think he was one of her clients but he got obsessed somehow, and decided to kidnap her, as she didn’t want to be with him. It was awful. But now, she has fulfilled her dreams.
Deborah: Who was the stalker?
Akila: Some businessman from Washington D.C., Daniel something….
Deborah quickly thought, could it be possible that Akila was talking about Mr. Daniels? It was a bit coincidental that her client and Yinka’s stalker had the same last name, plus Deborah knew that Mr. Daniels had a record with escort agencies.
Jade: Well ladies, I know that I just got in, but I am dead tired. I am going to crash in the guest room. Deborah baby, are you coming?
Deborah: I will meet you in a bit. I would like to discuss with Akila for few more minutes.
Jade: Ok, good night then.
Akila: Jade is so sweet, isn’t he?
Deborah: Yes, he is.
Akila: It is going to help Yinka to have him around. She is pregnant and her boy friend is getting married to that Ashley bitch.
Deborah: Ashley?
Akila: Yeah, some banker…
Deborah couldn’t believe it. Ashley the banker, Mr Daniel’s and Yinka… This was becoming too coincidental. She was not a police agent, but she knew that there was more to the story. She was now determined to do everything to get to the bottom of it. She also knew that Akila was going to play a major part in her investigation…
Shiiit Happens!!!
