Episode 17
lotanna looked so bothered as he showed me the waist chain, I took it from him so as to look into it carefully.Every maiden his this type of waist chain,it serves for recognization purpose,I have mine and the short form of my name “Aku” is on it.
“I just asked a question,is it yours or not? he asked.
“Lotanna… I.I ..” I pick on my words.
“the truth and the truth only” he said.
“no this is not mine,this is not my name” I said.
“never thought I would be too late” he shut me out and hijacked the waist chain from me.He then dipped his hands into the pretty waterfall and brought out the most rarest gemstone.
must be for him-
I said it,this guy is a good catch.
He catwalked and turn to leave,I run after him.
“Lotanna what’s wrong, is it because of an ordinary waist chain?”, I asked.
“do you perhaps know the owner?”,
he asked.
I stayed quiet as I remember the Ife, the most beautiful girl at my party, she must be the owner…
“even if you know her,you won’t talk. You girls are leopard,you always find it difficult in changing your spots… why always cheap and crafty”
he said and continue walking.
I still followed him,
I held his hand.
.
“that hand, remove it” he said icily.
“mother wants us to be together,try to be nice to me” I said,pleasantly.
“let it go” he said.
next, I find myself talking..
by the time it I turned,he was out of sight.
It must be the Ife.
Ife whosoever you are,you had better not show up,continue to remain in the secret.
“ma’am, are you alright?”, my servants came.
I forced out a smile.
“Lotanna just pass,did you see him?”, I asked.
“no ma’am, is anything wrong”
one of them says and look into the face of the other.
“no,it’s fine” I said,they bowed in respect.
I retired home after doing little research about Ife,too bad no one provide the answer I needed.A part of me concluded she does not exist.
she’s too pretty to be human,
she’s too perfect with curves to be a woman!.
but what about the waist chain-
has she been seeing Lotanna lately?
I fell on my bed,a maid stood fanning me while another arranged beads in my hair…
“tiara,have you heard about a princess called Ife?”, I asked.
“Just Ife…ma’am can you say the full name?..the only one I know is Ifeoma” she said.
exactly,I said it..
but the Ifeoma is married and even pregn@nt of her first child,can’t be her
“ma’am am back” Sharon my secret maid and informat from golden palace came in.
“Prince Lotanna has traveled out” she said.
I nodded,he will come back when the pressure from his mother becomes too much,he will have no other option than me.
Lotanna’s pov
At last,it wasn’t whom I thought it would be.
thank goodness she said the truth,I wonder what would have become of me…
my phone rang,I checked it as my car drove into one of my mansions.
? welcome sir!
? welcome sir!
? how was your journey?.
? did you sleep well?
? the doctor is needed,right!
my guards formed a single line,one rushed to open the door for me.
“I’m fine” I said softly and moved in briskly.
my fingertip was the password to the door,I pressed it on it it opened automatically.
I turned back to Salvador.
“my stuffs,bring them in” I said and moved in fully, straightaway to my room.The first thing I did was to place my phone on flight mode…no disturbance.
I brought out another new phone and insert another new Sim.
the projector was on full display, I wasn’t concentrating.
I brought out the waist chain and dropped it on the stand.
.
Are you ifeoma or ifeyinwa? why don’t you want me to find you,are you a spirit?. is it our destiny to be apart or are you the one running away?.
I need you for something, I hope you show up soon,if not you then your voice! I believe you’re okay where ever you are….
till then,
I will keep imaging what you are because you always make me happy.

hmm. this was first found out by Jerry Carter.
“the best thing you can do is to keep the registrar ID of glamour sealed” remember, Lotanna had said to Jerry at glamour.

hmmm,who else sees what I see?.

I switched off the projector.This medias are really a pain in one’s ass, always poking nose in what that doesn’t concerns them!
I fit my feet into a white room slippers, my phone beeped, it was Jiddenna…sht,I forgot to place that one on flight mode.
“hey” I said into the phone.
“you left,why?”, he asked.
“never mind,I want to be alone for now.Most importantly,my investments” I said and hung up so as to avoid further questions.
And besides my life doesn’t revolve round the village,am not interested in being a king!..
where’s this Rihanna,I’m famished!.
.
Nkem’s pov
Lotanna left,waoow so he always gets angry over little issues and he is fond of leaving at the slightest provocation,no wonder he wasn’t stopped.
I wish I knew what happened this time around,it can’t be Akuna right?.
.
“did he pick your calls? ohh my gaad, my son! why did you leave!
the queen kept on saying,she wasn’t happy at all.
no matter where he goes,he will come back for he is a Royality.
I walked pass Jidenna,next I decided to check Adeife at the maids quarter, she wasn’t there.I retired back to the princes empire and there I saw her, staring blankly at Lotanna’s locked door.
.
my FRIEND,bià(come)” I said,
she didn’t hear.
what’s she thinking about,staring at Lotanna bronze door.
until I touched her,she moved.
“sir….since when have you been watching me?”, she questioned and clutch the royalty basket tightly.
“each time am close to a pretty girl like you,watching becomes my habbit” I said.
she smiled.
“sir,am not pretty…am ugly” she said.
“the story,let’s finish it” I said and stretched my hands for her to take.
she fitted hers into it perfectly.
even with the excess visible cane marks on her body,her curves is still the best, best best have ever seen.
“so the story” I said as we sat under a tree in the garden.
“sir, the owner of that door I was staring into, where is he?”, she asked with lots of care.
“he traveled,he is in one of the mansions,he’s not around” I said…
“ohhh he has mansions and not mansion” She exclaimed.
“the story” I said.
“sorry to interrupt,is he okay?”, she asked..
“he is really fine” I replied.
“the story” I said.
“sorry another one,when will he be back?”, she asked.
“might be next tomorrow or next week” I said, she nodded.
“do you love him?” I asked.
waaaaatttt nooooo.
“I’m just trying to be a good person by caring for others” she said.
Dumebi passed by,Adeife stood up hastily and followed her.
guess they have work!.
Arinze said we should meet at the stream side,that’s where am headed. Despite his drukeness,we still remain good friends.
I got to the stream,he wasn’t there.
I only met a girl washing clothes. She greeted with respect.Not quiet long Arinze came.
I noticed something with the girl who was washing clothes,her head bead is similar to the thing I saw Lotanna with and besides it’s has Ife.
“excuse me,are you Ife?”, I accosted her.
“what are you discussing with Ngozi the miss Shapless?”, arinze chirped in, the girl stood up furiously.
“Arinze in your life! I repeat in your. next next next life,do not call my name and do not interfere in my matter” she scorned.
“your name is Ngozi which means you’re not the owner of this hair Bead must belong to Ife” I said.
“wait wait wait,which Ife? is it the one at Akuna birthday?”, Arinze chirped in again….
Ngozi clapped her hands,she’s ready to insult.She faced Arinze.
“I said do not interfere in my matter”
is that hard to grab…
“not only smokers are liable to die young,people who do not mind their business also die young”
she hissed and packed her clothes, she started leaving…
“wait wait!!!! I followed her till I caught her.
“please which Ife,what’s her full name?”, I asked.
“she’s my friend,she doesn’t like people hearing her name” she said.
“okay,please…I promise I won’t tell anyone” I said.
“fine,It’s Adeife” she said.
“Adeife,Adeife,Adeife,which Adeife??
I asked, she had gone.
