Glimmer Part 11

“Blessing!” Titi called out. No response. She opened the door to Blessing’s bedroom and found her huddled beneath the covers. Why would she still be asleep at this time? She moved closer to her bed. “Blessing!” “Yes Aunty” she responded weakly “What is wrong with you?” she stood beside her now and bent down toContinue reading Glimmer Part 11 →

Glimmer Part 10

Dr Famakinwa thanked his good fortune on the way back to the hospital. He couldn’t imagine what he would have told Deji if he had caught him caressing Blessing’s body. Blessing also seemed very scared, perhaps this was the reason she told him not to come. He felt so foolish, his urges had almost costContinue reading Glimmer Part 10 →

Glimmer Part 9

Blessing was on cloud nine. It had been a month since Brother Deji (as she called him) came to live with them and that initial mutual attraction had blossomed as the days went by. She had made a video that was on repeat in her mind; clips of Deji talking with her in the kitchenContinue reading Glimmer Part 9 →

“So what was that?” Kemi asked “Nothing. He just wanted me to deliver a message to Uncle” Blessing replied “Uhn uhn!” she said unbelieving “And why was he looking at you like that?” “How?”  Blessing countered “I am not a fool. The way that man was looking at you shows he is interested in you.”Continue reading Glimmer Part 8 →

Glimmer Part 7

Blessing What an unusual man! When he came to our house and told me he knew of my affair with Daddy Teni I was so afraid. Then I thought I could bribe him into silence; I offered him money and my body. He simply wasn’t interested. All he wanted was for me to listen. Uhn?Continue reading Glimmer Part 7 →

Glimmer Part 6

Titi Bode was really weird last night. First he was so insensitive about Mummy Teni’s sister’s passing, and then he stormed off just because I said I was on my period. What sort of childish behavior was that?  Men! They just expect you to give in to them all the time. I mean, can’t aContinue reading Glimmer Part 6 →

Glimmer Part 5

Bode’s job was on the line. First of all, the workers had gone on a strike, demanding a raise which his budget had no provision for. Then, the machines which they required for the job had been denied them again. COMI was the only company that had the kind of machines they needed, and forContinue reading Glimmer Part 5 →
