MUSTARD III – Ch. 22 | KT OLLA

NOW the group agreed like they’d got no issue with the whole thing. Like they were on the same page.

But no, they’d got other plans. And that Plan B was the real trouble.

Already, Joshua was the head of Morrow’s household, and nobody could force him against his own will.

But Bepo wasn’t anybody. The widowed one mattered.

Yes, the fierce beauty had got the whole womenfolk behind her. Sassy ladies from town and everywhere.

She’d got friends in town and the village, and they were there for her cause that day.

The households were seated, too.

Truly, Bepo had been faithful with her husband through their married years. But she felt the space he’d filled when he died.

Now she wouldn’t mind having this elite man here. Or no, she even dared to.

Well, Bepo had admired Joshua since she joined their great household.

She’d watched him go through school, and knew nothing about that life.

Jo was tall, dark and handsome. He was every girl’s talk playing out of earshot.

He was fantasy quite so far up in the skies for Bepo. And here he was, grieving her dead.

So, Bepo did her homework to bring up a lost tradition...

But Banji was the civil type who lived in far future. He turned her down with her army and all.

He never even blinked.

‘Mother was still fit when Dad passed,’ he shot on. ‘Should we have handed her onto Oji, or Daleka... Papa’s brothers?

‘Where did you put traditions that time?!

‘Now we are Christians. So please make effort at reasonability! At least, try!

‘Now I will only take care of Dekomi’s kids. You have my word!’

A low rumble followed that stand and the whole talk seemed to have closed.

But then some seated ones spoke and their words caused a new destiny.

They declared: ‘You shall take care of the kids then. You shall really do that!’ 

And this was the curse that twisted Joshua’s course through life. For a time.

Knighted Again – Ch.13 | KT OLLA

MAQWELA caught the smile on Nile’s face as he turned back to him. He knew why the boy smiled, yet he liked him more. Those were some things of innocence that he missed. The king liked people who wouldn’t cower when he used power. Unlike how he’d tremble as a boy when his late father abused the right. Yes, he liked folks who still retained their peace as they grew. Like those cute youngsters listening to him. So the monarch resumed, but he preferred to go the earnest way. ‘Now like I said earlier, that nobody enters here except Maqwela passes them – you must also know that nobody hears the things I’ll be speaking now unless we tell them! ‘Now I know you’re smart enough to know what I said – and what I left unsaid!’ The duo braced up and gestured with a nod. They knew the weight of that sentence and were ready to keep the monarch’s secret. They knew they were about to hear a blast. And so they braced up for it. Right then the middle-aged heaved a deep breath, crossed his arms over his ch...

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...

Wanted Here – Ch.23 | KT OLLA

BEAKERS broke and crashed on the ground. So the splinters went littering the laboratory. Still the one who caused the damage only stood and watched… And then she walked out of the place without looking back. It was as if the 28-year-old didn’t cared a moment. But she cared too much she cried a bucket. June Martinez had stepped in her laboratory right behind her home. It was a facility sitting on an acre of land that equally hosted their large villa. The property was both home and office to the brilliant couple. They had their villa furnished with everything comfort. Then they got two labs built into a structure behind it. With only a glass partition in-between. Carl did his work in one part of the structure, while June used the other part as her laboratory. Now it’d been quite a while June had wanted to return to her lab. She once only talked about getting back and wouldn’t dare to step a foot in the lab. Then months passed and she made more progress. She got to put on her coat to retu...
