The Game of Revenge

sorry he fooled you

Phil was still too burdered about the whole arrangement. Chuks had followed him to the Pharmacist where they got the Tramadol just after the meeting, just to make sure his friend did as he was told.

Phil went back to his office, he just couldn't even concerntrate on his work. Laura just couldn't manage Migraines. She was like a sick child whenever she got one. He remembered a time where they went clubbing and she had so much to drink, the next morning he had to send for a Doctor.

Trim.. Trimm. Chuks again? They just met a few hours ago. "What's it? We were together a while ago"

"You dey vex?" Chuks asked his friend. He knew his friend was still madly in love with that wife of his and would never want her hurt.

"No."

"Okay na. I called because of that flash drive. The one I left with you some time ago"

"Its at home" Phil said

"Fine, I would send my secretary over to come get it. I need it for a presentation tomorrow"

"No ish but Oge_"

"She's already on her way to your office"

"Better" Phil said and disconnected.

.................

'Grey's Anatomy' one of her favourite TV shows. She loved everything about the program. Just as she was seeing her favourite program. She heard some footsteps behind her and when she turned to the direction, she was surprised to see her husband and a strange lady seriously laughing. They didn't even notice her as they walked passed her laughing towards the stairs. They were both laughing like two love birds. WTF! What insolence and disrespect at the same time! Phil bringing a lady Into this house and they went into his room, To do what? She quickly ran upstairs to his room which was now closed. What other way to know other than eaves dropping "Where the hell did I keep it?" She heard Phil say. What could he be looking for?

"Please be fast. I can't wait anymore" the lady said. He is obviously looking for a condom!

She felt like going into the room and breaking their heads. ’Ahhhhh!' Isn't he supposed to be a married man!

She left for her room angrily. Why was she even angry? Wait was she Jealous? No way! How can she be Jealous when she feels absolutely nothing for him.

All of a sudden she needed another bath, She pulled off her clothes and got into the Jacuzzi. Gosh! She needed to cool her head. Phil was definitely going to Pay for such a disrespect by bringing in a lady into her house.

Chuks very Jovial and Funny secretary had come just as Chuks said to get the Flash drive. Oge was super duper funny. She actually made Phil's mood brighter that evening. She got a really funny life. With some of the stories she shared with Phil, her boss's friend. Phil got the Idea that something was going on between Oge and her boss Chuks. Phil was kinda disappointed though, his friend never gave him a clue.

She had told him about a very funny incident that happened to her as a kid and he couldn't help the laughter that bursted out of his lips. They laughed so hard that they didn't even notice Laura in the sitting room. So what if he saw her? He still wasn't going to acknowledge her. They headed to his room where the drive was. "Where the hell did I keep it?" He said as he searched for the flash drive in his drawers.

"Please be fast. I can't wait anymore" Oge said. She had spent so much time and she needed to go home.

"Found it!" He said and handed it over to her.

"Thanks, now Chuks_sorry my boss can let me rest" she said

Phil smiled "Its fine you can call him by his name in my presence. I know you guys got a thing going"

She blushed and looked away shly.

"Let me walk you downstairs" Phil offered.

..... ..... ..... ...... ....... ....... .. ....

Even today which was on a saturday, he still felt like going to work. There was no fascinating thing at home anymore. He got downstairs for his breakfast. And as usual Laura was sitted, sipping her coffee and reading a magazine but this time, there was no annoying Goodmorning greetings and she also looked angry plus the eye bags that showed she didn't have a good sleep. What could be bothering her? He thought.

Who cares. If she liked, she shouldn't sleep at all, by the way Witches don't sleep at night.

"Thank you" he said to Sara as she took out the half empty plate, he drank in some water to aid the digestion process. He stood up and was about to leave when she spoke for the first time that morning "Philip" she said. He turned back to her. "What is it?"he asked rudely

"Hand me those keys?" She said still focusing on her magazine

"What key?"

"The car keys." She said

"I don't understand" Phil said. Whats she up to this time.

"As the owner of the propeties, I decide who uses. Icluding my cars and from now on, you aren't going to make use of any of my cars"

He scoffed. What a crazy woman. "You must be stupid and insane to think that I would allow you dictate how I use my own car" he half turned to walk out

"Leave this house with that key and you would live to regret it. I promise" her words stopped him.

"Seriously Laura, your threats mean nothing to me" he dared and turned back to leave but what he saw got him thinking by force. A gun was pointed to his head by one of her crazy guards. He turned back to Laura with disappointment. "Laura, it has now gotten to this? You now want me dead because of a Car?"

She stood up and faced him, standing just an inch away from him "No, I won't kill you but I will order him to shot your legs, lets see how you drive." She smiled devilishly at him "Now hand over the keys and find your way to work" she stretched out her hand to take it.

What could the poor guy do? He was really disappointed. This was not the same woman he married two years ago. Its either she's the devil or was possessed by one. He reluctantly dipped his hand into his pocket and gave her the keys. "I swear you will pay for this" he said angrily, pushed the damn guard and stormed out of the house.

She smirked. That was his punishment for bringing in another woman into the house. Fool! 'But wait oh, why is it hurting her so much that he brought in another woman. I thought she said she didn't care about him.' No no no. She can't be Jealous its just part of her revenge game, that's all. Now lets see how her Ajebo London husband copes with Lagos cabs and their gra gra. She smirked.

Frustrated Phil managed and walked to the gate of the estate. He thought of calling his friend to come get him but Chuks was having a very important meeting.

"Goodmorning Sir" one of the estate security men said.

"Morning" Phil responded and walked passed the gate. The security men wondered why their Oga was not with one of his cars today.

Luckily for him, just as he walked out of

the estate gate he got a taxi. He hoped no one was going to recognise him as Philip the business guy. Afterall Nigerians don't even take note of business men just Actors, musicians, footballers..

"I'm going to VI" he said to the taxi driver

The taxi driver, looked at his passenger carefully, from his passenger's accent and dressing he could tell he was rich.

"Oga, you can't get a cab from Banana Island to VI na" the dishonest driver lied. The driver was headed to Alfred rewane road to get something, and when he saw a passenger he decided to try maybe the passenger would be heading his way and so he can get some extra cash, but then he found out that his passenger was not going his way and he was obviously a JJC, he decided to take his opportunity.

"So how do I get to VI with a Cab?" Ignorant Phil asked

"See, I would drop you at Alfred rewane, then you ask any cab there to take you to VI." The driver said.

Alright then. Phil got into the cab.

"Sir, its two thousand naira oh" the driver said.

"Fine. Money is not the problem"

The driver smirked. God has really blessed him today. At least he we going to drink a bottle of bear today.

And so the journey began. This very wicked driver drove Phil out of Banana Island and kept on driving round and round. A 20 mintes ride has become too long. From Banana Island to Victoria Island was just a 20minutes ride but they've been on the road for over 30 minutes even when he wasn't even taking him to the main VI.

"Driver this is not the roots I take when I'm driving" Phil said

"Oga, that one is your private car, we the taxi drivers have another root we follow. That is how Government put it for us" The driver said.

"Oh" Phil said. Lagos Government. Finally they got to Alfred rewane. He paid the driver and voom! The driver drove off. Phil stood there and took another cab to Beauts Penny, to his utmost surprise this other driver just took the normal root to beauts. Geez! But the other driver said Cabs don't follow here. Phil had to enquire from the cab man and he explained everything to the aged driver. The old man bursted out in laughter, "Oga, dem woo you" the driver said while laughing.

What does that mean? "Sorry?"

"I said he fooled you"
