All Chapters of Melanin Diaries: Perfectly Imperfect: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Mokunfayo Badmus:If Mike was looking to throw me off guard, he'd succeeded with the question he'd just asked. I stared into his furious eyes, immobile, dumbfounded, because Mike's words turn out to be one of the few gospel truths anyone has ever told me. I really was a hypocrite. "So? What have you got to say for yourself?!" Mike thundered while holding his hands open as if gesturing for a hug. "Why do you still want shit to do with me when you know I have killed people; when you know I can kill people, when you know I can kill you and—" "Knock it off, Mike! You would never do anything to hurt me!" "I have shot at you before, I could do it again. And this time, you might not be so lucky." He kept walking closer as he talked, so that by the time he finished speaking, he was standing right in front of me, with his jaw working like a clock. I couldn't believe why I was making up excuses for him, or why he wa

Mokunfayo Badmus. "Of the bitches I've come across, you're the most shameless of them all." Mike's sister began the moment the door creaked shut. I mentally braced myself for the rain of the other insults that were certain to follow. 

By the time I'd finished showering, untangling the mess that was my hair, spending extra time to clean up the room, changed the bed spreads and pillowcases and dressing for the day in my white shirt and black tummy skirt, Mike and his sister were only halfway through their staring contest. I was hoping that the feisty little woman

 Almighty Mike:"You have got to be fucking kidding me!" Angel yelled as she banged the door repeatedly. Her frustrated voice, coupled with the surprising noise the show-off's expensive door was making, echoed down the almost-empty hallway.

Mokunfayo Badmus:"It's a delight that members of my family are safe and away from all the drama going on here, Steve. I wouldn't want you to involve yourself in all these, so I implore you to stay where you are. Is that understood?" I was speaking in hused tones, so as not to disturb my sister who seemed to be in a peaceful sleep —the direct opposite of what the doctors had reported her to be. It was probably due to the tranquilizer they'd injected into her made her look so harmless and at peace. I could barely tell."But aunty mi," Stephen's voice brought my attention back to the matter at hand. "You  shouldn't be on your own. Doctor Deji has volunteered to care for Amaka while I'm gone. It'll only take a few days." "What will you do here? It is safer for you to—" "I'll run errands for you. I hate that you're alone in all these. I want to be there for you like you were when there was no longer hope for Amaka. It

"You have to got to tell your bodyguards to stop threatening me, Mokunfayo. This is beginning to get out of hands?!" My head snapped up when I heard Richard's angry voice and equally angry strides towards me. "What are you doing here?" I questioned as he got closer, but before I got an answer, Fuhad came into my line of sight, wit

Mokunfayo Badmus:"Do you fucking mind?!" I yelled in near hysteria and stonned glares towards an unapologetic looking ex before dragging my stare towards my pale sister. "Shouldn't you be resting now?" I proceeded into the room after gaining my wits about me and tried to yank Richard as far away from Bisi as possible

Almighty Mike:"You're back early." I grumbled the moment Fuhad strode into my training session. I was trying to distract myself, the last thing I wanted was Fuhad ruining that for me. "I'm guessing you're not happy about that." Fuhad chuckled all the way to where I stood in my breifs and perspiration. I didn't bother with a reply as I knew the question was rhetorical. "Bisi is safe, I got Richard to her." He went on to inform in a serious tone as he held the punching bag I was working on in place. "Good. Now get lost." "No thank you? No appreciation at all?" "No man, this is a deal. You have fulfilled your end of it and in order to fulfill mine, you have got to stop trying to taunt me and gather the boys at the arena." His jaw ticked slightly when I was done talking, but he quickly covered it up with a smile and a curt nod. "You know what else I think you should help the girl with?" I knew what Fuh

Mokunfayo Badmus:"You're a very foolish woman, you know that right?" 

Almighty Mike:The surprise factor of me turning up at the scorpions den alone was just what I needed to distract the fools. It was the most hasty and risky plan we were able to come up with and so far, the idiots were falling for it just fine. It was pr
