Episode 11 : Confronting Francis
“ yes yes yes where did you see her? ” Daniella’s lost voice quickly return immediately she heard of her sister.
“ you know her ”.
“ she is my sister?! Is she alive? I’ve been looking for her since do you know where she is? ” the eager lady asked with so much curiousness in her voice.
“ actually she is my girlfriend no she was my girlfriend and I’ve been looking for her actually ” hiding his rage and anger he asked calmly.
“ she left me eleven years ago and I never heard from her so when you mention her name I thought you know where she is ” with disappointment in her voice she scoffed.
“ Hannah I’m still going to find her one day and I will be her karma ” he said almost in a whisper but Daniella heard.
“ what are you talking about? No what did you just say? ” springing out of her sickly body she shouted.
‘ I don’t want to talk about this here but your dear sister is a devil in woman clothing ’ Ola hissed loudly.
‘ bye Hope I will see you soon ’ Ola told the little girl before walking away.
‘ mom so you have a sister? ’ Hope ask Daniella who is busy thinking about what Hannah may have done to the man because she knows exactly what her vicious sister can do.
She know Hannah to be evil and cruel but she still can’t get her hands on what could have happened between her and Ola.
I pity Francis most, the guy too mumu for my liking. Leaving a real gem for a worthless stone is the worst that can ever happen to a man. I swear I feel like meeting Hannah for really life. How can see even breath after putting someone in prison for ten years and now unknowingly getting married to his brother? Brother karma you too much I swear.
They wedding was planned in a simple manner(so her exes won’t attack her wedding shioh).
Ola didn’t attend the wedding because he is still busy trying to turn his life around. He is so fond of hope and the little girl is also fond of him too calling him uncle here and there. He gave Francis a call to congratulate him.
“ hello Francis ” he said after a deep sigh.
“ wow Frank longest time bro I heard everything from dad ” the excited Francis said hearing his brother’s voice after ten years.
‘ I heard you got married congratulations so tell me who is the lucky woman? ’ Ola asked with a naughty smile.
‘ you’ll meet her soon ’ Francis replied and they talk so much which lead to Ola asking him to send her pictures and he promise to send it through their social media accounts.
What a reunion! Who else is smelling Hannah’s end?
“ Daniella you have to forget Francis ” Rachael said when she notice Hannah’s constant sigh.
“ not that ” Daniella hiss.
“ then what? ” Rachael asked.
“ I wonder what Hannah did to Francis’s brother maybe that’s why Francis hate me? Don’t you think so? ”
“ here we go again you are talking about him again! ” Rachael shouted obviously fed up.
“ no not him but his brother ” Daniella defend herself.
“ what’s the difference? ”.
‘ his brother is handsome and calm like a real gentleman he even take care of Hope ’ Daniella said in a calm manner which surprises Rachael cause she hasn’t heard Daniella say another man is handsome except Francis buy now it is definitely not what she is thinking no!!
Just then Ola rushed into their shop which surprises the two ladies.
‘ Ella do you want to know the one behind your problems? Who turned Francis against you? ’ he asked which so much tension in his voice that it scares Rachael.
“ who is the person? I’d like to ruin his or her face ” Daniella said looking at him directly in the eye.
“ its none other than your dear sister ” Ola said showing her Francis and Hannah’s wedding pictures.
She didn’t even mutter a word she just fainted.

“ you are happy what’s the occasion? ” Hannah sat beside him when she notice his face is blooming with smiles.
“ I just heard my brother’s voice after ten years ” Francis excitedly.
“ oh? You have a brother? I didn’t know that why didn’t you tell me? ” Hannah said making a silly face.
“ we haven’t seen each other for ten years so how do you expect me to tell you? ” Francis replied her and she rest her head on his shoulder.
“ it doesn’t matter I don’t have to know every of your relative but we will start knowing each other since you and I are now joined forever ” she whispers and Francis sigh trying not to think about Daniella.
‘ let’s go to sleep ’ she said and he carried her to the bed with her smiling naughtily.
After making love, the couple sleep cuddling each other then Francis start having nightmares.
He saw Daniella in black attire wearing a devil make up with blood on her black leggings. She is holding a knife as if she is waiting for him she point the knife at him.
“ Francis you think you can just hurt me? By marrying my sister? I will not only kill you but kill her also. Your last wish? ” Daniella said his dream holding the sharp kitchen knife with a smirk plastered on her face.
“ Ella leave me alone you never loved me? ” Francis said trembling.
“ says who? You are my first love and my innocent heart fell for you but you left me for no reason leaving me heartbroken now look at what you made me into? A killer? I’m going to kill you and myself so we can continue our love story in heaven ” she said raising the knife, pointing it at him.
“ no Ella I don’t want to stop this game I’m not in love with you but with your sister leave me alone ” he tremble as he moves backward but Daniella keep moving closer.
“ we have to finish our love story Francis in heaven ” she raise the knife about to stab him then he woke up sweating but Hannah is fast asleep to notice anything.
“ terrible dream ” he sigh

Ola and Rachael did everything to stabilize Daniella but she is still unconscious. Rachael keep cursing Hannah that Ola wonder why.
“ why did you keep cursing her? ” he asked when Rachael’s words is getting unbearable.
“ she hurt Daniella too much when she was younger and now stealing the man she loves? This is too much. And Ella is just too stupid to see the evil in her sister’s. She gave Daniella the scar on her forehead every bad things always happened whenever Hannah is around ” Rachael said almost tearing up.
“ I haven’t said what she did to me ” Ola chuckled.
“ hm? ”
“ she is my ex girlfriend. She framed me for rape and I end up in prison. She was pregnant for me but I don’t know what she did with the baby ” Ola sigh and a fly almost enter Rachael’s mouth.
“ Hannah did that to you? ” she asked and he nodded.
“ she needs to be stopped ” she screamed.
“ is Hope Francis’s daughter? ” he asked
‘ I don’t know. Daniella went to the university and when she graduate she return with a four year old girl who happen to be Hope. She said she is her daughter but I didn’t even think about questioning her but she have her reason ’.

‘ you didn’t ask her anything? ’ Ola asked and Rachael. “You know maybe a incident she is afraid to talk about but I still like the young kid she make feel better whenever she is around and she makes her Mom happy too but ever since you show up she rarely stay at home anymore” Rachael twist her mouth and Ola laughed.
“ do you know where Francis is living? ” a tiny exhausted voice interrupt them, and they turn around to see Daniella behind them.
“ Lagos in my father’s estate ” Ola replied
“ I’m going to teach Hannah a very big lesson I’m going to make them suffer ” Daniella said before breaking down.
“ hey Ella to do that you need to be wealthy and powerful. Thank God you have your tailoring job but I can help you get a contract in my dad’s company. You’ll become their main designer and all your dresses will be modeled by popular models across Nigeria ” Ola explained and that seems to get Rachael’s attention more than Ella though Ella is happy too.

“ what?! Pretend to be your boyfriend? That’s something I can’t do ” ola shouted scratching his head.
“ but we both want revenge na we have to work together. And beside you won’t look bad being my boyfriend Hope even like you” Daniella said flashing a seductive smile which got him off the edge even racheal couldn’t understand by Ella is acting like that.
“ no Daniella, we can both go to Lagos together as partners understand? I don’t want any affairs with women so with your fashion business we can sign a contract under Father’s company ” Ola suggested uncomfortably.
“ as if I want anything to do with men well that may work business partners nothing more but in front of those couple we act close ” Daniella squeeze her mouth and Rachael shook her head mumbling some incorrigible words.
“ Rachael what are you saying? ” Daniella asked when she noticed Rachael is whispering.
