THE KEEPER CHAPTER 3

 Chapter 3 Motola ran towards Chris’ side as they both laid flat on the ground.  One of the criminals took position by the front door, while the other hovered over them; cocking his gun at their heads. The third who appeared to be the leader of the group, sat majestically on the sofa. “Raise up your heads” he thundered “Please don’t let us do that” Chris replied from the floor “Just take whatever you want and leave us in peace”  “Yes please” Motola said fearfully The leader laughed loudly and repeated his request. Motola and Chris quickly raised their heads towards him but kept their eyes closed “Now sit on the floor and open your eyes” he shouted They obeyed him trembling “Good. I see you were having dinner; your anniversary dinner I presume?” Motola and Chris exchanged a surprised look. “You’re surprised I’m informed?” he asked smiling “Don’t be.

He did a double take at the dinning and turned to see her smiling shyly behind him. “SURPRISE!!!!!” Motola exclaimed laughing “Wow my love, this is a wonderful surprise.

Hello dear reader, top of the morning to you. I hope like me, you're in high spirits this morning πŸ’ƒ   This year has been like a roller coaster ride, 😡 but thank God for his mercies.  With the ASUU strike still on, I have had more time to dedicate to my other passion, writing stories πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜†πŸ˜‰ The story below is the first chapter from a short story I just completed titled "THE KEEPER". As usual, I will not publish all the chapters because I want to have it published 😁However, I will try to post 3 chapters here.  Do enjoy and share your opinion in the comment section, thank you 😘  Chapter 1 As night fell on the quiet government residential area of Ikeja Lagos, Motola Okafor smoothed the crease on her dining table cloth and took a step back to admire her work. The dishes with Chris’ favourite meal sat in the middle of the table, expensive china and silver wear neatly arranged, a bottle of champagne in the ice bucket, and two wine glasses beside each plate.

During this time, I have been working on a pet project πŸ˜‚ πŸ’ƒ I hope to have it published as a novel when I am done. Before that happens, enjoy this long except from the story πŸ˜‚πŸ˜˜πŸ˜‰ "Thank you" said Lara when they were alone. "Don't mention it" he replied quietly. "I need to go, but I'll be back soon. I'll tell Zara to -" "Please don't tell her." Lara interrupted sitting up quickly. Malik frowned looking confused. "Why?" He asked I don't want her to worry about something so trivial." She replied "Too late. I already sent her a text, and I'm sure she's on her way here" he replied checking his phone. "Great!! She's probably panicking" Lara said standing up. She went to the window to look out, the sun was very bright. She h
