Ifaechi sat in her mothers room…she still has not woken up…she has just 18 days to get the money…how is that possoble….her mind went to Anthony and his offer..it isn’t such a bad idea but marrying a man she doesn’t love…then again its kind of a job…they’ll only be married for six months…after the
divorce she gets paid and off she goes…the money will solve alot of issues in their lives…not just for nne’s treatment…they won’t have to go back to the village…they would be able to start up something here in the city… “i think i should accept his offer…after all…i won’t loose anything….hmmmmm…i’ll talk to him tomorrow…nne’s health is first..” she said as she drifted off to sleep

“a girl from the village..??…son are you alright..??.couldn’t you find a girl here in the city..?” mr clifford complained
“dad…a girl from here would squander all my money…father this girl is okay…i’m telling

“hmmmm…i don’t know what to say
ooh…its you who is getting married not me…just get her to agree and lets start the preparations soon…we don’t have much time…besides…she’ll need a lot of brushing up…you know you’ll have to make alot of
public appearances with her..” “that is not an issue…immediately i get a
positive answer from her which i’m sure i will…the rest is easy..” tony said
“ok ooh…how is her english…infact bring her
let me see so i can assess her myself..” his father replied
“ah…dad…she has not given me a
positive answer yet and you’re asking me to bring her over..calm now…by tomorrow we’ll know the
next step to take..”
“i’ve heard you” they talked about business and other things for a while before saying their good nights….

the next morning…ifaechi woke up
late…she couldn’t get enough sleep last night…she dreamt that anthony was in danger…someone tried to run him over with a car but when the person saw her he
stopped…she wondered what it was about…why would she be dreaming of someone she barely knows…she
sighed…got up and started preparing for work…as she was
stepping out of the hospital she ran into the doctor…
“good morning doctor..”
“morning…please i would love to see you in my office now..” the doctor said “eerrmm…as you can see…i’m already late for
work…i can’t see you..” she said….she was fully aware of what he wants and was not ready to comply “you don’t want to comply abi…your mother will die ooh..” he said
“God forbid..it is your mother that will die..infact your unborn children are already dead…foolish man..” she hissed and walked away….she arrived at the same time Anthony did….
“good morning sir…” “morning…you’re late..”
“i’m sorry sir..i overslept..” she explained
“hmmm…ok….during your break come to my office lets discuss..”
“ok sir… about an hour later…tony’s secretary came to
call her..
“you…sir wants to see you in his office…” she said… ifaechi looked around…was she talking to
her…the secretary saw what she was doing
“you…i’m talking to you..” she said
“me..??…heeey!!…biko…biko..biko….i have a name ooh..its..
“do i look like i care..??”
“oohoo…you don’t care ehn…don’t worry…address me by anything other than my name then we will see if you care or not…mtcheeeww” she hissed and
continued her sweeping…the secretary felt insulted…how
can this thing talk to her like that…she felt a need to retaliate…she pushed ifaechi as
she spoke…
“he said you should…
*kpa kpa*
she got two resounding slaps…she almost fell to the ground…she can’t just let it go like
that…no way…she tried to slap her back and it resulted to a fight…ifaechi who was a very strong fighter in the village dealt with her…she was on top the secretary…giving her blows and slaps…other workers had surrounded them and instead of them separating the fight they
were cheering…
“ifaechi..ifaechi…ifaechi..”
“what in heavens name is going on
here..?” at the sound of his voice they froze and slowly began to return to their duty post…ifaechi and the secretary stood up…anthony was shocked…he almost laughed at how his secretary looked…like she was ran over by a bus
“both of you in my office…now.” he yelled.

To be continued.
