Mrs Dongmo stared at the DPO in stunned
disbelief. Her husband, seated right next to
her was also shocked beyond words. “No,
I’m sure there’s a mistake somewhere” she
murmured. “I mean… You can’t be serious”
She muttered, looking stunned.
The DPO shrugged his shoulder.
“Unfortunately, I am ma’am” he looked
towards the door and yelled. “Bring her in”
Shola stared at her husband, still finding it
hard to believe that Glory wanted her
dead. It had been four days since the
incident at her office and yet Shola couldn’t
get the incident off her head. After waiting
in stunned silence for about a minute, the
door of the office opened and Shola turned
as a police officer pushed Glory into the
office. Shola stood up slowly, her mouth
slightly agape as she stared in shock at
Glory. Glory had been Shola’s friend for
so long. They were so close, even got
married in the same church… But where
Shola was rich, Glory was poor. While Shola
got married to a wealthy politician, Glory
married a struggling entrepreneur. Shola – as
always – took it upon herself to change this,
by setting Glory up in a business. She
initially wanted them to work together in
her plaza with Glory as her assistant, but
her husband had warned her against it. She
never knew a day would come when she
would be eternally grateful for not doing
that.
Shola had instead opened a boutique for
Glory and furnished it perfectly; even at
that, Glory still always asked her for money
every now and then and Shola never
hesitated in giving her until…
“Glory” Shola gasped out, staring at the
battered face of her friend. Her face was
swollen from severe beating and torture.
“Glory, you? You sent assassins to kill
me?” Glory couldn’t meet her eyes as she
looked at the ground. “How could you? How
could you, Glory?” Shola yelled.
“I’m sorry” Glory said unevenly, the swell
in her mouth muffled her voice as she
winced painfully.
“Oh, you’re sorry ehn? If you had succeeded
in killing me, I’m sure you’d be passing your
‘sorry’ condolences to my family by now,
isn’t it?” Shola yelled.
