NEXT DAY^NIGERIA>
It’s 8pm already, and Mr Robertson’s mansion is full of the invited guests already, rocking the party.
Local foods like ponmo sauce, small chops, pepper soup, suya and lots more are available, then international ones like shawarma, Cole’s law, pizza, salad and BBQ.
A DJ is busy sliding in hit songs from Nigerian artists, and Kiss Daniel’s “Rich Till I Die” is currently playing.
The big living room is so full!
“Aww!, I love this atmosphere!” Madelyn smiled, coming downstairs in her crop top and bum shorts.
“Mr Robertson wasn’t joking when he said he’d make it lively tonight, woohoo!!!” Nicholas came down after her.
She looked back with the aim of bashing him with words, but her eyes widened when she saw how his handsomeness got a square root tonight… raised to power two.
“Hey!” He smiled and spanked her @$$ before she knew it.
He took his seat, and she sat beside him, saying nothing.
She should be yelling at him right now, but why is she so cool with what he just did?”
‘I love how his hand felt on my @$$’ She found herself thinking, but she quickly stood and went to the foods table.
She got herself a bowl of pepper soup since she has come to love it so much.
She started eating while staring at him.
The rest came down at a time, and they started mingling.
“Hello house!, Meet my daughter
Gianna!, I’m sure none of you met her the first time she came to Nigeria” Mr Robertson introduced.
“Her Yoruba name is Tiwaladé” Midas cut in, and everyone laughed.
“I love you!, You’re so cute!” A lady shouted, and Gigi quickly rushed to him.
She hugged him on stage.
?️ Whoaaa!!!
“He’s mine” she said, and Midas laughed with everyone else.
Trevor and Melinda sat on a couch in a corner, kissing slowly. The songs drowned their Mõ@ns.
“Enjoy the party everyone!” Mr Robertson said, and everyone clapped as he went upstairs.
“Jealous girlfriend” Midas said when Gigi finally let go.
“Nigerian girls can be sneaky” she replied, and he smiled before pulling her to himself.
He kissed her right there, and she immediately responded, wrapping her arms around him.
“Joshua what’s this called?” Carina asked, taking from the suya.
“Roasted beef, but it’s called suya here” Joshua replied.
“You just spoke English!” Carina’s eyes widened.
“Not like I can’t speak it, I’m just not so fluent, and I can only say short sentences” he smiled.
“So…what’s this?” She pointed at the ponmo sauce.
“Hide and skin sauce, but we call it ponmo sauce here” he replied.
“This one nko?” Tony asked behind them, pointing at another bowl.
“Small chops” Joshua replied and left to attend to others.
“Hmmm!, It’s delicious!” Tony nodded after tasting from it.
“I know, right?” Carina smiled.
“This is… suya?” Tony said, tasting it.
“Hmmm!, It’s good, have a taste” he said, giving her some.
She opened her mouth and he fed her.
“Thanks, senior” she smiled, chewing slowly on it.
“Delicious, right?’ he said, and she nodded.
She fed him a spoon from the sauce, and his eyes widened.
“It’s tasty!, Gawd!, This country is blessed with delicacies” he said, and they both laughed as they continued feeding each other.
Mavis is in a corner, chatting with his anonymous girl.
“Have you seen Lexi?” Winnie suddenly asked Tony.
“He’s in the room, suffering from indigestion” he replied, and she rushed to the guys room.
She met Lexi inside as said. He’s dancing.
She stood by the door and smiled, watching him dance to the Nigeria songs.
He suddenly stopped when he saw her, and she smiled.
“Thought you had indigestion”
“That was twenty minutes earlier” he replied,, and she walked to him.
“Let’s go downstairs, a lot of fun is going on” she pulled his arm, but he resisted and pulled her back.
“Lex….
And that was it, he held her chin and kissed her softly, shocking her, but she was quick to get over it.
She held him and hardened it, kissing him like her life depended on it.
When they broke it eventually, Lexi kissed her chin.
“I think I’m falling already, but make me fall harder, please” he said, and her eyes lit up.
“Lexi…
“Win” he smiled, and she blinked.
“I love you so much” she muttered and pulled him back into the kiss.

Sweeney was actually playing around, and Delaney is making a video of her as Dylan entered the office.
Dylan carried her and she giggled.
“Daddy’s daughter” he smiled, pecking her.
“How was the conference?” Delaney stood, coming to him.
He held her waist and kissed her lips softly.
“I love you” he winked.
“I asked how was the conference, pervert” she smiled.
“Cool” he replied, and she stood on her toes to kiss his brows.
“I love you more” she said, and he kissed her again.
Sweeney chuckled cutely, and Delaney’s phone rang.
She went for it, and her eyes widened when she saw Paisley on the ID.
She picked slowly, and she could already hear her cries.
“Paisley, what’s…up?” She asked awkwardly.
“Mum….mum…mum died.. this morning” Paisley replied, and Delaney’s eyes widened.
“What!”
“The news about my pregnancy and about dad’s extramarital affairs made her slump and hit her head on the tile, she died Delaney…she died” Paisley continued crying so hard.
Delaney slowly took the phone away from her ear, facing Dylan.
“Is everything ok?” He asked worriedly.
“I have to fly back to Australia, today” she replied.
•••
The guys were playing chess in the game room when Madelyn ran in breathlessly.
“What’s up mad girl?” Mavis said, but she ignored him and rushed to Midas.
“You have Summer’s line, right?” She asked.
“Dylan’s big sis?”
“Of course!”
“Why?”
“Give it to me right now, including Mrs Bills number, right now!” She shouted, leaving everyone speechless.
Trevor gave her the two, and she ran out of the room.
She was pacing around the balcony as she tried the two lines, but none were going through.
“This darn Nigeria network!, Damnit!” She panicked, dialling the lines again.
•••
Dave was already seated in front of the laptop connected to the car that was sent to the airport.
It’s actually Uber, cos Delaney and Dylan didn’t even tell the family of their arrival, so no way to send a car to come pick them up.
Zayn got the info leak about their homecoming from the airport.
Emma was standing behind Dave, looking at the laptop worriedly.
“I really don’t care about the baby and Delaney, but will Dylan be safe?” She asked.
“His safety means nothing, all that matters is Delaney’s extinction” Zayn replied, entering the room.
Emma folded her fists, and Flora came in too.
“The car is moving” Dave reported.
“Get to work” Flora ordered.
•••
“Do you still care that much about Paisley?” Dylan asked as the Uber driver sped.
“I just feel like this is the right time to repay their short-lived kindness, no strings attached” Delaney replied.
“We even had to fly suddenly from Caledonia” Dylan replied.
“I know how uncomfortable this is for you, but please….I really need to attend Mrs Addams burial, we can go back to Caledonia tommorow if you want” Delaney replied, and Dylan sighed.
Sweeney is sleeping comfortably on the seat between them.
Immediately they left the airport road, the the car started moving so fast.
Dylan was the first to notice.
“What’s up?, Why is the car flying?” He asked.
“Honestly I don’t know, the brakes aren’t working too” the driver replied, and their eyes widened.
“What!”
“I can’t control the car anymore!” The driver shouted again, letting go of the wheel.
The car started driving on its own, and Delaney remembered when Mr Lin told her that her parents car was actually hacked two years ago.
“No….not again…no” she muttered as the car entered a forest beside the road.
“I can’t die like this!, I can’t!” She cried, carrying Sweeney.
She hugged the sleeping baby to her chest as the car kept moving crazily.
The driver was crying too, but that was when Dylan opened the door.
He jumped out of the moving car, hurting his arm and head in the process.
“Dylan!” Delaney shouted as he stood and started running madly after the car.
There’s a cliff in front of them, and the car is obviously going towards it.
Dylan was able to get to the mouth of the cliff before the car, and the car came at him immediately.
“No!, Dylan!!!!!” Delaney screamed fearfully, but immediately the car got to Dylan, he started pushing it with all his might.
The car never stopped moving, it kept pushing him as the tyres kept screeching loudly.
“Dylan!’ Delaney gasped in tears as he kept pushing the car back.
As usual, his arm got broken already as a result of how he jumped out of the car, so he’s literally pushing with one hand.
He kept getting closer and closer to the edge of the cliff as the car kept pushing him.
“AHHHHH!!!!” He shouted as the car got his right leg, pushing him harder.
A bone definitely broke in his leg, and blood rushed out immediately.
“Ah!!, Arrggg!!!!!” He screamed, losing power as his legs kept shifting back.
“Dylan no!!!!” Delaney cried again from the car, and he smiled dryly.
“I’m sorry I won’t be able to stay and take care of our….our Sweeney” he cried bitterly.
The car suddenly stopped moving, and Delaney rushed out with Sweeney and the driver.
She dropped Sweeney on the ground and started running to Dylan, but she has only taken three steps when the car moved again….
“I swear I love you….and our baby” Dylan said, and like that… The car pushed him off the cliff, and together with the car, he fell off.
Delaney’s eyes widened.
“No! No!! No Dylan!!!!!”
