THE LAST PROMISE PART 3 .Six months had passed since Kelvin left, but for Mary, it felt like yesterday. She still woke up reaching for him in the middle of the night. She still set two plates on the table out of habit before remembering. The house was too quiet, too empty, too full of memories that haunted her like ghosts. Friends and family had stopped checking in as often. "Time will heal," they said. But time didn’t heal. It just made the pain duller, heavier—like a stone settled deep in her chest. And then came the memorial service. The church was filled with people dressed in white—Kelvin’s favorite color. His photo stood at the front, smiling that warm, familiar smile that made Mary’s throat tighten. She sat in the front row, clutching a folded handkerchief, her eyes dry only because she had no tears left. People spoke about him—his kindness, his laughter, his courage during his illness. Mary listened, but their words felt distant, like they were talking about a man she used to know, not the one who had held her every night. Then, a man she had never seen before stood up to speak. Tall, well-dressed, with a quiet confidence that made people turn their heads. His voice was deep, steady. "Kelvin was my closest friend," he said. Mary stiffened. Closest friend? She had known Kelvin since they were teenagers. She knew every friend, every story, every secret. But she had never—never—heard of this man. After the service, people gathered outside, sharing stories and condolences. Mary watched as the stranger—Andre—moved through the crowd with ease, shaking hands, smiling softly at memories she wasn’t part of. Her heart pounded. Who was he? She waited until most people had left before approaching him. "Excuse me," she said, her voice firmer than she expected. "I don’t think we’ve met." He turned, his dark eyes meeting hers. For a second, something flickered in his gaze—something like guilt? Sadness? "Mary," he said, as if he already knew her. "I’m Andre. Kelvin… he spoke about you all the time." A cold knot formed in her stomach. "I’ve never heard of you." Andre hesitated, then sighed. "We weren’t… public friends. But we were close. Very close." Mary’s hands clenched. "How close?" He looked away, then back at her, his expression unreadable. "Close enough that he asked me to check on you after…" He trailed off. Mary’s breath caught. Kelvin had sent him? Andre reached into his pocket and pulled out a small envelope. "He asked me to give you this. Six months after." Mary took it, her fingers trembling. Her name was written in Kelvin’s handwriting. She looked up at Andre, her voice barely a whisper. "Who are you really?" He held her gaze, his own filled with something she couldn’t name. "Someone who made a promise to a dying man." And before she could ask anything else, he walked away, leaving her standing there with a letter that suddenly felt too heavy to open. TO BE CONTINUED...

THE BETRAYAL © Grace O.O Part 8 "Who sent it?". "I don't know ma'am. However there's a note that's says it's from James". He replied. Something wasn't right about the delivery man but Titi couldn't pinpoint what it was. "Alright then. Hand it over". She took the package from him and closed the door behind her. However she watched the man through the door's peephole till he left the compound. "What's that package?". Serena asked. "The delivery man said it's from James but somehow I don't believe him". Titi replied, bringing the package to the table and unwrapped it. Then she stood some distance away, afraid it could be a bomb and opened it. "Flowers and a letter? This has Tony written all over it!!". Serena exclaimed. She took out the letter and read it aloud. "I know you are making up with that rich kid, James. Just wanted you to know that I'm watching you. Love you". "This must get to the authorities! For crying out loud, what's all this madness about?". Titi said. Serena pressed her lips together to form a thin line. "Just a little more patience, I'd deal with him". ** James came over the next weekend. In his hands was a bouquet of flowers and a package. "What's this?". Serena asked when he handed it to her. "Why don't you check it out?". He said smugly. Serena gasped when she untied the package. In it was a sunset yellow gown; from the brand label, she already guessed how expensive it was. "Oh my God! James, James, this is too much". She said. "Don't worry Serena. I liked it when I saw it so I decided to get it for you. Do you like it?". "Like is an understatement! I love it. It's so beautiful". She replied grinning from ear to ear. "I'm glad you love it". James smiled. She embraced him tightly. "Thank you for this gift, James. I really appreciate it". She said softly. "You don't have to thank me, what are friends for?". James replied and tickled her. Serena guffawed while she moved away from him. They played video games then watched movies on TV. James left early in the evening because of some sudden engagements. "I'll miss you Serena". He said as he held her hand fondly. Serena had escorted him to his car. "I will miss you too". "Take care of yourself and don't hesitate to reach out to me if there's any problem". He told her. "I will. Don't worry about me too much". She watched him as he drove off and she felt sad. She was already having feelings for him. "Missing him already?". Serena spun round to see Tony standing some distance from her. So he was stalking her? "What are you doing here?". Tony walked up to her and reached for her chins but she slapped off his hand. "Can't I touch your chins again?". He asked with a mischievous smile on his face. "You haven't answered my questions yet Anthony!". Serena's eyes blazed angrily. "Calm it baby, I just came to check up on my girl". He replied. Furious, Serena dealt him a slap. "What?!". He stared at her in horror. "You slapped me?". "I regretted not doing that earlier. What guts do you have to come to my home and harass me? How dare you stalk me, huh? Can't you talk?". Serena yelled. "It's fine. You can yell for all I care but I want you to know one fact and it is that if I don't have you, no man will do". He threatened. "What do you mean by that statement?". Serena asked. "You will soon find out". He replied and left her. *** "I'm glad that the fool has backed off. He's such a devil". Titi said. "I never knew he was capable of such attitude. To think that I thought so highly of him then". Serena said sadly. A knock on the door interrupted their discussion. Serena went to get the door and froze. "Hi Serena. Long time no see!". "What are you doing here, Linda?". Serena said calmly. "Wow, no pleasantries for an old friend. That's so harsh". Linda sneered. "You should know you're not welcome here. So if you have anything to say, then go straight to the point". "Can I come in please?". Serena sized her up and down before allowing her into the apartment. Titi watched Linda in amusement while looking at Serena for answers to the curiosity of her mind. Serena served her a bottle of chilled water along with a glass cup and settled down beside Titi. "So, to what do we owe this visit?". "Serena, I'm sorry for what I did to you. I admit that I was wrong". She started. "Okay?". "I need your help. I need you to talk to Tony for me, please". She pleaded. Serena looked at her strangely and let out a mocking laughter. "If there's anyone who's capable of subduing Tony, it should be you. Wasn't there a way you applied in cajoling him to cheating on me? Can't that same trick help you now?". "I'm so sorry Serena. I know we shouldn't be having this conversation now but consider my baby. Ever since we got married, Tony hadn't touched me. I thought he would change after the birth of our daughter but he only got worse. After I got discharged, he never bothered about her welfare. He left me to fend for her. Everyday, he would stare at your pictures and call your name. He would act like you were there with him, discussing with him". She paused to wipe the tears on her face. "He said he never wanted to marry me in the first place. He threatened to throw me out when he gets married to you. Serena, please talk to him. Please". "Well, I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do. My life is also in danger too. Besides, you wanted him. Now that you have him, you have to endure whatever consequences that comes. That's the end of this conversation, do have a good day". Serena stood up and left the room, leaving Linda transfixed on the spot with Titi grinning. "You heard her now, please leave my house! Get out!". Titi said pointing to the door. Linda glared at her angrily and stormed out, slamming the door shut. _______________ To be continued... Can you imagine the audacity of Linda? Like she could have the guts to ask for Serena's help? What would you have done if you were in Serena's place? #_pen_of_grace

THE BETRAYAL © Grace O.O Part 7 James took her to one of the biggest restaurant in Ibadan. Serena gasped as she looked around the place, her eyes scanning the screaming luxury before her. A man dressed in an elegant suit walked towards them. "Mr James, it's good to see you again sir. The reservation is ready". "Thank you Mr Kunle". James said while they shook hands. Mr Kunle led them to another section of the restaurant. Serena noticed that it was different from the first section they had passed. Gold chandeliers hung from the ceiling. The furniture were of glass unlike the wooden ones in the first section. Serena sat down carefully, cautious not to break the chair. She looked around at the paintings in the room. "You surely have an expensive taste. This place looks more like a gallery than a restaurant". She commented. "Well, what would you expect? But sadly, I still miss those bukas. They know how to prepare excellent meals". James said sadly. Serena chuckled. After they had eaten, they ordered for dessert. "I'm sorry to pry but I'm curious. What happened between you and your fiance?". James asked. "Well, it turned out that he cheated on me with my friend who later got pregnant for him. From what I gathered, I found out that she seduced him and forced him to sleep with her. When I returned from an official trip, a friend called to inform me about her getting married. I arrived at the venue to discover that my fiance was getting married to my friend". Serena narrated, fighting back tears. James handed her a wipe which collected and cleaned her face. "I never felt so hurt in my life like that day. I felt like my world had been torn apart. But thank God, I'm recuperating now". She smiled sadly. "It's okay. You'll heal soon". "I know right". They kept quiet for some time, each one lost in thoughts. Serena thought of Tony and the dreams they had shared together while James thought of how he could win her heart again. "I suggest we go on sightseeing. It's been long since I had a chance like this". James said. "I'd like that very much. Come to think of it, I've not been to a zoo in a long time now". Serena chuckled. "Let's go then". They bought some takeaway along with them before leaving the restaurant. Hours later, they got to the zoo. They bought their tickets and were taken round by a tour guide who lectured them on each animal they saw. When they got to the part where monkeys were, Serena threw bananas to the monkeys who scrambled for it hungrily. However, she clung tight to James when they got to the lion's arena. "Don't tell me you're scared of lions". He teased her. "Who isn't? As if you can boldly go into the cage and feed it". Serena replied grumpily. James laughed at how childish she looked when she pouted her lips. When they left the zoo, it was already evening time. "Thank you James for today. It was fun hanging out with you". Serena said happily. James had took her home and they leaned on his car. "I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to hanging out with you again". He held her hand tenderly and squeezed it gently. "You've got to look after your father's company. Don't forget that". She replied. "I know right, it's just that I enjoy spending time with you. I want you to be happy". James said. "Don't worry yourself about me, I'm fine". She smiled. "Promise me you would take good care of yourself". "I will, James". She replied. "Good night Serena. I'd call you when I get home". "Good night James. Take care and stay safe". She said as she waved at him. He blew her a kiss before driving off in his car. ** The following week, Serena went to her workplace as usual. On getting to her office, she found a letter and bouquet of flowers on the table. "Who could have sent this?". She wondered as she tore the letter open. By the time she finished reading the letter, she flew into rage. "Tony must be out of his mind! How dare he send me these trash?". Furious, she took her phone and dialed Tony's number. "Hello my love". "Please hold it there! Who is your love? Are you out of your mind?". Serena yelled on the phone. "Calm down baby girl. What's wrong with you?". Tony said calmly. "I should be asking you that question. Why did you send me these trash?". "I didn't send any trash baby, I only sent a bouquet of flowers and a letter to tell you how much I still love you and want you in my life". Tony replied boldly. Serena felt like seeing him instantly and smash his head. "Oh really? You want me now when you're tired of Linda, right?". "I want you...". She cut him off sharply. "So you can suck me dry like an orange and dispose me when the juice is gone, right?". Tony kept mute. "Just a warning for you, don't ever call my number again in your life!". Serena hissed and hung up. *** "You don't mean it! How dare he?". Titi fumed. "He said he wants me in his life. The way he said it ehn, you would I was just a commodity". Serena said, clicking her tongue. She was shaking her legs angrily. Titi let out a brief laughter and clapped thrice. "He might have developed mental issues...". The doorbell rang, interrupting them. "I'm not expecting any visitors, who could it be?". Titi thought aloud as she went to get the door. When she opened the door, she found a delivery man carrying a medium sized package. "Hello ma'am. Please, are you Miss Serena Johnson?". He asked. "No, I'm her friend. How may I help you?". Titi said, tilting her head to one side. "I was asked to deliver this package to her". He handed the package to Titi who didn't collect it. Instead she eyed the man suspiciously. "Who sent it?". ________________ To be continued... This one wey Tony no wan leave Serena alone bayii, Olorun a gba wa o! 🤧 Because warris all dis? #_pen_of_grace

THE LAST PROMISE PART 2 The house had never felt so empty. Mary sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers tracing the wrinkles on the sheets where Kelvin had lain just hours before. The room still smelled like him—like medicine and the faintest hint of the cologne he used to wear when he was still strong enough to care. Now, the scent was fading, just like he had. She couldn’t breathe. The doctor had left. The neighbors had come and gone, whispering words that meant nothing. "I’m so sorry." "He’s in a better place." "Stay strong." As if any of those words could fill the hole in her chest. But now, she was alone. Really, truly alone. Her hands shook as she picked up his pillow, pressing it to her face. She inhaled deeply, desperate to hold onto any piece of him she could. But it wasn’t enough. Nothing would ever be enough again. A sound escaped her—something between a gasp and a sob—and then the tears came. Not the quiet, gentle tears she had shed while he was still alive, when she tried to be brave for him. No, these were raw, ugly sobs that ripped through her body like a storm. She clutched the pillow tighter, her whole body trembling, as if she could somehow press herself into the past, back to when he was still here. "Mary," he had whispered that morning, his voice so weak it barely reached her. "Come here." She had rushed to his side, taking his hand, already knowing. "Don’t leave me," she had begged, her voice breaking. He had smiled—just a little—and lifted his shaking hand to her face. "I love you," he said. And then, softer, "Keep your promise." His fingers had gone slack. His breath had stilled. And just like that, the love of her life was gone. Now, the silence was unbearable. Mary curled into herself on the bed, her body wracked with sobs. She screamed into the pillow—screamed at God, at the world, at the unfairness of it all. She screamed until her throat burned, until she had no voice left. Outside, the world kept moving. Birds chirped. The sun shone. People laughed somewhere down the street. But inside that house, time had stopped. She didn’t know how long she lay there, drowning in grief. But when she finally lifted her head, the room was dark. The candle had burned out. Kelvin was still gone. And she was still here. Alone. Her fingers brushed against something on the nightstand—a small, folded piece of paper with her name written in Kelvin’s shaky handwriting. With trembling hands, she opened it. And as she read his final words to her, she broke all over again. TO BE CONTINUED...
