Five years later Charles came back to Chief Walter's office and asked for another payment.
What do you mean by you have spent the N10Million Naira I paid you 5years ago? Chief Walter asked Charles.
You heard me right. Expenses was too much. Charles said. You would have invested. Chief Walter said.
I already did. Charles replied. How? Chief Walter asked. I already invested with you. Charles said.
Will you stop that Charles. Our deal was already done, there's nothing, absolutely nothing like an investment or anything you want with me. Chief Walter said.
I went to see our daughter today. She's looking beautiful. Charles said. Don't ever go close to her. Chief Walter warned Charles. Or what? She's my daughter remember. Charles said.
I paid you. I paid you, we had an agreement Charles. You agreed to this. Chief Walter said.
Yes I agreed. That's why I'm asking for another payment. Charles said.
Would you come back if I pay you again? Chief Walter asked.
I mean it depends, but come to look at it this way. This is an investment for me. Don't you think so? Charles asked Chief Walter.
Are you trying to blackmail me? Chief Walter asked Charles. This isn't black mail. It isn't. I promise you. This is just simple business. Charles said.
I never know you are like this, what have you become Charles? Chief Walter asked Charles. I become who I'm expected to become. I have become me. Me!!!. I did you a huge favor; Chief. And another N100Million is nothing compared to the money that you have. Charles said.
Did you just say N100million? Chief Walter asked Charles. Yes Chief. You heard me right. You are worth more than that. You are worth billions, so a couple of hundred million should mean nothing to you. Charles said.
Chief Walter was speechless as he stared at Charles.
You have a week to send the money to me. Same account. Charles said as he touched the Chief's
Shoulder and left his office.
Chief Walter could not believe what just happened in his office. It was a nightmare.
He went home after work and his wife was at home with their daughter.
Good evening Love. Evelyn said to her husband. Evelyn Babe. Chief Walter replied.
How is work today? Evelyn asked the husband as they went upstairs. He came back pretty late and Rose was already asleep.
He wanted to tell the wife about Charles but he remembered that his wife warned him that something like this would happened. She never trusted Charles.
How would he face her now and tell her that Charles came back and is demanding for more money.
Chief Walter just silently went to the bedroom.
Rose said a man came to meet her at school today. Evelyn broke the silence.
What man? Chief Walter asked pretending not to know. I don't know. But she said the man said he is your friend. Evelyn said. What friend of mine? Chief Walter asked Evelyn.
I don't know but I'm going to ask the school authorities on Monday. Evelyn said.
I will handle that. Chief Walter said. I will handle it. Evelyn said. Let it go Evelyn. I will take the baby to school on Monday and get this sorted out. Chief Walter said.
Evelyn became scared and worried, She perceive that her husband knows something.
The slept off that night. The next morning they woke up to a continuous knock on their door.
Evelyn went downstairs and opened the door and saw Chief Walter's mother with a new girl.
Good morning Mama you didn't call that you are coming. Evelyn said.
Where is my husband? He is the reason that I am here. The mother said.
I will go call him. Evelyn said and went upstairs and called Chief Walter.
Mother what are you doing here and who is this lady? Chief Walter asked immediately he came downstairs.
This is Mazi Ibeh's daughter. You remember Mazi Ibeh and his wife Ngozi my very good friend from childhood. His mother said.
I remember them what is their daughter doing here? Chief Walter asked. Her name is Nneka and she is your new wife. I brought her to give you a male child. Chief Walter's mother said.
The words came like a shock.

Chief Walter stood downstairs as his mother took his new wife Nneka upstairs.
He went upstairs to the masters bedroom to meet his first wife Evelyn.
Their five years old daughter was finally awake. Daddy good morning. Rose said to the father. Morning my darling. Chief Walter said as he hugged his daughter.
Can you go downstairs and meet grandma. Chief Walter said to the daughter. He noticed the worried face of his first wife.
Rose went out of the bedroom leaving her parents alone.
I'm sorry. Chief Walter said. What are you sorry about? You shouldn't be sorry so far as you won't allow your mother bring another woman into our home. Evelyn said.
You shouldn't worry about Nneka and my mother. I will take care of them. Chief Walter said. You better do, I'm not ready to share you with another woman not after what we have been through. Evelyn said.
You shouldn't worry my love. Before tomorrow they will move out. Chief Walter said.
Let me keep it in mind for you. Evelyn said and went out to stay with her baby.
Mama was already playing with Rose when Evelyn came to the living room. Come and have your breakfast baby. Evelyn said to to her daughter.
She's already having breakfast. Are you not my grand child? Mama said to Evelyn. Mama brought okpa for me. Rose said to her mother smiling.
Rose knew exactly what mama was planning to do. She didn't want to call a scene. So she allowed the daughter enjoy her time with Mama.
She still went upstairs to meet her husband. Your mother should leave this evening with that woman she brought to take my place. I don't have the energy to f!ght. I don't like what mama is doing, she is trying to turn my own daughter against me. Evelyn said.
Chief Walter was just confused. He has not settled the problem with Charles, Charles is demanding for N100Million to keep his secret and now his mother has come with her own trouble.
He couldn't stay at home that day, he decided to excuse himself and go for a drink. He wanted to clear his head. How do he tell his mother that he is impotent? No!!! He will feel less of a man. He can't. He won't do that.
After having a drink he came back home and met his mother in the living room.
Walter come upstairs let me show you something in my room. I don't know what is happening to the bathroom, water is rarely coming out of the tap. Walter have you been drinking? The mother asked.
Show me what's wrong with your bathroom mother. Chief Walter said and f0ll0wed his mother to her room.
Immediately he entered inside and went to the bathroom, his mother sneak out and Nneka sneaked into the bedroom.
The mother locked the bedroom door from outside and Nneka was alone with Chief Walter.
She was just tying towel and sedúctively walked towards Chief Walter.

Evelyn came downstairs when she heard her husband's voice.
She had waited in the bedroom for some minutes since she heard her husband return but her husband didn't come the bedroom.
Mama I thought my husband had returned. Evelyn asked Mama. I'm also waiting for him. He haven't returned. Mama lied. But I heard his voice from the bedroom or am I hearing double? Evelyn asked. If he returns he will surely come to the bedroom. Mama said
Walter woke up in the middle of the night only to see Nneka lay next to him in the guest bedroom.
He woke up in the mid night. What am I doing here? He asked Nneka. You had a bit too much to drink last night. Nneka said to Chief Walter. Where is my wife? He asked.
I'm also your wife. Nneka said. Will you stop that. Chief Walter said and stood up. He went and opened the door and went back to the masters bedroom.
His wife was asleep when he got to the masters bedroom. He lay on the bed about to sleep.
Where are you coming from? Evelyn asked him. You should be sleeping babe. Chief Walter said. Where are you coming from Walter? Evelyn asked again.
I had too much to drink last night and I slept in my car. Chief Walter said.
So you didn't sleep in the same bedroom with that woman your mother brought for you? Evelyn asked. I did not. Chief Walter lied.
Evelyn didn't want to argue, so she just kept quiet and slept. She didn't want to wake their daughter.
Just go back to bed babe. Chief Walter said and he was about to touch Evelyn but she removed his hand from her body.
Chief Walter just slept off. Immediately he woke up the next morning he went to his mother and told her to leave.
You are asking me your mother to leave your house? Mama asked Chief Walter.
Mama you want to destroy my marriage and I can't allow that. It's only right you leave. Leave with this woman you brought here and don't ever bring her back again. Chief Walter said.
Walter! You chased me your mother out of your house. Your mother. Let it be known that I tried my best to remove the spell this woman is using on you but you refused to be helped. I will leave and I will never step foot in your house again. Mama said and angrily went into the bedroom to start packing her bags.
That's not what I mean mama. You are always welcome to my house but you can't keep bringing different women for me to marry. I am okay with my wife. Chief Walter said.
Mama didn't reply Chief Walter. Nneka let's leave.
Immediately Mama left with Nneka a new number started calling Chief Walter. He picked up the call and it was Charles.
You have three days to give me my money. Charles said. You said one week. So I still have 5days left. Chief Walter said.
We have only five business days. So you have three days left. Your secret will be exposed if I don't get my full payment. Charles said and hung up the call.

Chief Walter's mother brought a new wife for Chief Walter since his first wife couldn't give birth to a male child.
Her name is Nneka. She is a very good girl. From a good home and also a virgin. She is complete tear robber. So all you have to do is do the do and a male child will come.
We can't keep waiting for your first wife. You know you are getting old and if tomorrow something happens to you, your father's brothers will want to take all your properties. I'm doing this for your own good Walter. Chief Walter's mother said.
Mama I have never complained to you before because a child. What you are doing now is not right. How do you want my wife to feel now? Walter asked the mother.
How she feels is of no importance now. The important thing is for you to have a male child. A male child is all I ask for and since she can't give you even after forcing her way into your life. I have brought someone that will give you a male child. The mother said.
Mama this is not right. It's not proper. I love my wife, please take this lady out of my house. Chief Walter said to his mother.
His mother immediately started crying. So you don't love me. You love your wife and you don't love me? I carried you in my womb for nine months, you súck my breast and now you are choosing side?. Walter. The mother said.
Mama. It's not like that, it's not what I mean and you know that. Chief Walter said.
Walter's first wife Evelyn left them and went upstair. She was very heart broken. She already knew how this was going to end.
Babe, where are you going to? Chief Walter asked the wife. But she didn't respond instead she went upstairs.
Mama you see what you have caused now. Chief Walter said to the mother.
What have I caused? So it's now a bad thing for a mother to care for his only son? Walter. The mother said.
This isn't caring mother. Chief Walter said. What did this woman give to you? First you stubbornly got married to her even after I told you No. You went ahead and got married to her without my permission. I let that be. I decided to be the bigger person and welcome her. Walter it's been over 10years already. 10years and still no male child. The mother said.
Mother. Please take this lady and leave my house. Chief Walter said.
You are chasing me out of your house? Walter? Me your mother? You don't care about me anymore. Do you know the kind of convincing I had to convince Nneka's mother before she allowed me bring Nneka here? Nneka is a virgin. She might even give birth to twins after the first trial. The mother said.
There's no trial here mama. Chief Walter said. No problem. No body is leaving. I'm not leaving, she is not leaving until you have agreed to give her a chance.
I have been quiet for too long. Today you will tell me if I gave birth to you or the other way round. The mother said.
Nneka come let me show you to your room. The mother said as she took Nneka to the guest bedroom.
Chief Walter just stood downstairs speechless. He didn't know what to do at that point.

Chief Walter begged Charles his Gardner to help him get his wife pregnant.
Charles got his boss wife Evelyn pregnant.
As soon as Evelyn got pregnant and was due for delivery Charles relocated to another state and promised not to ever come back for the baby.
He left with the N10Million Naira Chief Walter paid him.
He didn't Know if his boss wife gave birth to a boy or a girl. All that mattered was the money that he was been paid.
Evelyn went into labour and Chief Walter took her to the hospital. She gave birth to a bouncing baby girl.
The baby girl was name Rose. She was beautiful, as beautiful as the Rose flower.
Chief Walter was happy to be finally called a father.
His mother and extended families all came to see the baby. Thank you. He said to his wife. He knew not every woman would agree to do what his wife did for him to have this baby.
Finally you have shown us that you are a man Walter. I am very happy that you have finally made me a grand mother. His mother said as he carried the baby up.
The next stop now is to have a male son, An odogwu. You know you still need a son. One who can inherit all this when you are no more. The mother said to Walter. Mother, a daughter is also a baby. Allow us to celebrate our daughter now before you start talking about a son. Chief Walter said.
I have allowed you to celebrate. You are celebrating, so there's nothing to worry about. But at least next year I need a boy child. You know I'm not getting any younger. This is old age that you are looking at and you are also getting old. I'm happy that your wife gave birth to a baby girl, but you know the importance of male child in our family. The mother said.
I can't do this today, not now mother. Please if you don't have any other thing to say, I have other important issues to attend to. Chief Walter said and left.
So what I'm saying now isn't important? Ehnn Walter. The mother said.
She then went to Evelyn with the baby. I have already told your husband. We still need a male child. I hope you are still aware? Walter's mother said to Evelyn. I know Mama. Evelyn replied.
Every night Evelyn slept with memories of Charles their gardner making out with her. The memory didn't want to leave her head.
She woke up one night breathing heavily. Is it still same dream? Chief Walter asked the wife. Evelyn nodded to Yes. It's okay, With time You will get over it. Chief Walter said.
What about the male child your mother is talking about? Evelyn asked. Forget what my mother is saying. Our daughter is okay. Don't worry. Chief Walter said.
Five years later Evelyn went to bring her daughter from school when Rose told her that one uncle came to see her in school today.
What Uncle is that? Evelyn asked the daughter. I don't know his name. He said he is daddy's friend. Rose said.
Did he give you anything to eat? Evelyn asked the daughter. No, he didn't. Rose replied.
Okay. Rose said. Rose drove home.
That same day Chief Walter was in his office when his secretary told him someone wants to see him.
Chief Walter asked his secretary to let the person in.
Charles the Gardner walked into the office.
Hello Chief. Charles said to Chief smiling. Charles?. What are you doing here? Chief Walter asked.
Is that how to respond to your old time friend Chief. Charles said.
Charles. I paid you off. Chief Walter said. That's the problem Chief. The N10Million you paid me 5years ago has finished. I need you to pay me again. Charles said to Chief Walter.

I never knew our dog was my late sister.

The night my sister died, I learned that silence can scream louder than thunder. The hospital bed still smelled like her hair cream, her clothes still hung in the wardrobe, and her laughter still echoed in every corner of our house. Yet she was gone. Just like that. A single breath stolen by sickness that refused to listen to our prayers.
Chioma was not just my sister. She was my best friend, my second mother, my secret keeper. She knew every fear I carried, every dream I whispered, and every tear I tried to hide. When she passed away, the world did not just lose a girl, I lost a part of myself.
We were orphans with only each other. We fought life together and promised never to break apart. But death broke the promise I trusted most. When they lowered her into the grave, they might have believed they buried a body. But I knew they buried a piece of me too.
I threw myself into work after that day. I built companies the way others built families. I stayed awake at night building success, so I wouldn’t have time to remember her absence. I became a wealthy, independent woman with no one to call home.
But grief doesn’t leave just because money comes. Pain does not disappear just because you build walls. Chioma’s voice still whispered in my dreams. Her laughter still followed me in the silence. The house felt too empty, too quiet, too dead.
So I bought a large, trained police dog. Not because I feared thieves,but because I feared silence. I needed footsteps. I needed breathing. I needed something living in the house with me. Still, the loneliness stayed. So I hired a live-in chef. I hired a security gateman. I tried to fill the hole grief left behind.
But some holes are not meant to be filled by humans.

One night, when the whole house had fallen asleep, the gateman, Samuel, listened to a ghost story on the radio to stay awake at the gate. He lowered the volume when he heard something move near the garden. Under the moonlight, he saw the police dog shaking its tail, staring at the mansion like it recognized something unseen.
He pointed his torchlight lazily at the dog… and then froze.
The dog’s body began to stretch, melt, and fold into another shape. Fur vanished. Limbs twisted. Bones cracked softly. And before him stood a human.
A young woman.
With short hair.
Familiar eyes.
The same face on the portrait in the living room.
Chioma.
She walked toward him,slow, silent, emotionless. Her voice crawled out like cold wind.
“Leave this house. Leave. I alone is enough to guard it. You are not needed.”
She disappeared instantly.
Samuel gasped, shaking, wiping his eyes, trying to believe it was his imagination.
But then the dog appeared again. And before he could blink, the transformation happened a second time. Fiercer. Faster. Darker.
“If you love your life, I give you three days. Leave. Or you will run mad till eternity.”
He dropped his torch and buried his face between his legs to avoid seeing her.
The spirit leaned in, whispering into his bones.
“I am here… to stay.”
And from that night, the house was no longer silent.
Something dead had come home.
And it refused to leave.

🌳EVERY MAN I TOUCH, DIES🌳EPISODE 2🌳

As I went to pick his phone I got a text on my phone.
*******

The text said:
“If you ever want to see your boyfriend again, meet me here.”A location was attached.

My heart almost dropped. I immediately called my best friend and begged her to stay with my boyfriend.

I didn’t tell her where I was going or that I was going to meet her own boyfriend.

When I arrived at the location, it turned out to be a hotel. I called him, and he told me his room number.

The moment I entered, I froze. He was standing there wearing only a towel… and two dogs were sitting on the floor beside him. I was terrified, but I tried to act calm.

“You know your boyfriend is in that condition not because of me,” he said slowly, “but because of you.”

“What? How? Please, how do I fix it?” I begged him.

“You shouldn’t have worn the necklace and then gone to sleep with him,” he replied.
“That’s why he’s sick.”

“Please… how do I reverse it?” My voice broke. Tears were already running down my face.

He looked at me, cold and serious.
“First, you sa.tisf,y with my dogs. Then I’ll give you the remedy.”

My whole body went numb. I had no choice. All I could think about was my boyfriend, rotting from the inside while still alive.

I gave in.

After everything, he finally handed me a small bottle of liquid.
“Give this to him,” he said.

I wiped my tears and left immediately.

A few days later, as I returned from my boyfriend’s house, I found my best friend sitting on my couch, crying uncontrollably.

I rushed to her.
“Cynthia, what happened?”

Her confession made my heart sink.
She told me that in one full year of dating her boyfriend, he had never touched her.

Not once. He always had excuses. Yet, he spent so much money on her. Buying her latest phones, a car, gifts upon gifts.

I already knew what he did with dogs… but what terrified me the most was that he would sleep with me but never touch his own girlfriend.

Even when she cheated on him once, he forgave her instantly—without any anger at all.

That was when it hit me. He didn’t sleep with me because he was attracted to me.
He slept with me because he had a reason. Something behind it.

While I was still holding her, trying to console her, another message popped up on my phone.

“Thanks for the other day. Come again tonight. Let’s have fun.”

My phone was on the table, so when the screen lit up, Cynthia saw it immediately.
She grabbed it with shaking hands.

“Daniella… are you sleeping with my man?”

It was finally revealed that Mr. Walter was impotent. He couldn't father a child. All this years and Evelyn thought she was the problem.
Chief Walter begged her not to tell anyone about his situation. The world will laugh at me. Don't let anyone know. Chief Walter said to his wife.
What are we going to do now? Your family are already calling me a w!tch. They think I refused to get pregnant for you, or I'm barr3n.
Your mother the last time she visited threatened that she is going to bring another wife for you. Evelyn said.
Don't mind what my mother say. We will find a solution. Chief Walter said.
What solution, my husband? Is it until your family kick me out of your house? Evelyn asked. No one is kicking you out of my house. Chief Walter said.
Okay should we adopt? Evelyn asked. We can't adopt. If we adopt everyone will know that I'm impotent. I'm trying to protect my image here. Chief Walter said.
Then what do you suggest we do? Evelyn asked.
Let pay Charles to get you pregnant. Chief Walter said.
What? Charles our Gardner? Never!!! He is just an ordinary Gardner. Evelyn said.
Charles have been working for me for seven years now. I trust he would keep his mouth shut after this. Chief Walter said.
I can't, I won't. It's better we adopt a baby than for me to allow an ordinary Gardner to have séx with me. Do you know what you are asking me to do Walter. Evelyn asked her husband.
I know my wife, I know it's sounds crazy but this is the best thing we can do. This is the best sh0t we can take. Chief Walter said.

She was really angry with what her husband suggested that night. she went to bed angry.
Nnem, mommy biko Zie. Chief Walter begged the wife.
Walter please leave me. I will not do what you ask of me. I can't allow a gardner have séx with me. How would he look at me after that? How would he rate me? Evelyn asked the husband.
I will tell him to leave after the deed have been done. I will pay him off to leave the state. Chief Walter said.
I still won't accept. Are you even sure he is going to accept? Evelyn asked Chief Walter.
It's left for you to accept. If you accept. Charles side is just a piece of cake. Please Do this for me. Because of the love you have for me. Please. Chief Walter said.
I will have to think about it. Evelyn said and slept off that night.
She woke up the next morning and realized that her husband wasn't in bed.
She went to the living room and saw the Chief thinking.
He was lost in thought that he didn't even know when his wife came into the living room.
Chief. Evelyn called her husband. He didn't respond. She had to go touch him and immediately he came back to himself.

💫 THE GIRL WHO SMILED AT MIDNIGHT 💫

I had just moved into the old family house my late uncle left behind.
Everyone in the village called it Ile Eerie — The Strange House.
But I didn’t believe in superstitions…
until the night everything changed.
Episode 1 — The Midnight Smile
The first evening was peaceful.
The house was dusty, smelling like wood, forgotten memories, and hidden secrets.
I swept everywhere, arranged my things, and boiled water for a bath.
By 11:45pm, sleep refused to come.
The silence inside that house was too loud.
So I stepped outside to sit under the guava tree, scrolling through my phone.
Then I felt it —
a sudden cold breeze that didn’t match the warm night.
I raised my head.
Standing at the corner of the compound…
was a girl.
A small girl.
Maybe 10 or 11 years old.
Wearing a white dress.
Barefoot.
Dirty.
And smiling.
Not an ordinary smile…
the kind that stretches too wide to be normal.
I froze.
My heart slammed against my ribs.
“Good evening, sir,” she said softly.
Her voice was smooth… too smooth… like she practiced it.
“Good… evening,” I managed to say.
She tilted her head.
Her smile broadened unnaturally.
“Uncle Sola said you would come home today. He is happy you came.”
My blood ran cold.
My uncle died four years ago.
I swallowed.
“Who are you?”
She blinked slowly.
Still smiling.
“I stay here.”
She pointed to the backyard…
where my uncle’s old storage shed used to be.
The shed he never allowed anyone to open.
The one villagers said “something” lived inside.
Before I could respond, she added:
“You should not sleep in that room. He doesn’t like visitors in there.”
My throat tightened.
“Which room?”
She lifted her small hand…
and pointed directly at the room I had arranged as my bedroom.
Then she whispered:
“Midnight is coming. He will soon wake up.”
My phone slipped from my hand.
I looked up to ask her what she meant—
SHE WAS GONE.
Not walking away…
not fading…
Just gone.
The breeze stopped.
The night returned to normal.
But inside me, nothing was normal again.
I rushed back into the house and locked the door twice.
From midnight till 3am,
I didn’t sleep.
Because someone—
or something—
kept knocking on my bedroom door…
one slow knock at a time:
Kpok… kpok… kpok…
And every knock came with a whisper:
“Leave the room…”
