Kike went outside the gate waiting for Jide, she suddenly saw a familiar car coming which stopped at her side. She opened the car door and went inside, Jide revised the car and speed away without sparing Kike a look. Kike got scared busy playing with her fingers,she wasn't aware of where Jide was taking her to until they stopped near a lake with beautiful garden around. Jide came out first before Kike imitated him

"Uhmm"Kike said not knowing how to start a conversation with him

"Your sister sent you to me?"Jide asked tilting his head to one side and also furrowing his brows

"No no no! I was just trying to help"Kike replied immediately, Jide gave her a look of disbelief but he didn't press on any further

"Please listen to whatever she have to say. Anger can't solve problems, it only worsen it"Kike said and Jide look at the other side chuckling a bit, Kike amuses him

"What's that your own words or your sister's?"Jide asked and Kike got slightly angry

"I'm not that much of a kid to not know what I'm saying!"Kike voice got louder than she will appreciate. She look at Jide and sighed taking few steps away from him, she look at the lake and smiled. Such a beaut,she thought

"We have to go back. I need to study for my tomorrow's paper"Kike said turning around to look at Jide who nodded clenching his jaws "and also please give her a listening ears"Kike muttered the last part but Jide heard.

They head back to the car and entered,Jide ignited the car engines and ride out of the place.

Black had spent the night thinking about her manager's offer, she kept on tossing and tossing thinking about the dos and don'ts. Slowly before she knew it she fell asleep

**

Her ringing phone jolted her from her sleep, she lazily took her phone and met it was Raphael calling her, she had exchange contact with him the day he took her to the hospital. She hissed and silence the phone standing up from her bed. She checked the time and to her surprise it was after ten in the morning, she didn't know she had slept that much.

She headed to the bathroom and took a warm bath, she wore a black jeans and a black blue polo t-shirt taking her phone, she watched her phone warily before dialling her manager's contact

"Good morning sir"she said as soon as he picked the call, she heard him laugh and her body shivered with disgust

"You must have made up your mind"her manager said

"Yes. I agree with what you want"she says swallowing a lump in her throat, forcing herself not to break down and cry.

"That's so good of you. You're a wise girl"the manager said and chuckled "I will send the address of where we should me around noon"

"Okay sir"she said and the call ended. She wiped away the tears falling from her eyes with the back of her hand. She couldn't hold it in any longer and break down crying her eyes out

"Mum! Dad! Why did you do this to us? Why did you left us in this world to suffer,I'm just twenty one years old and here I am going through things a thirty years old wouldn't go through"She continue lamenting while crying, her phone started ringing again and she met it was Nnenna's. She picked the phone immediately

"Good morning sister"She heard her struggle to say

"Good morning, how's your health?"Black asked standing up immediately

"Chi! Calm down"Nnenna said chuckling which resulted to series of coughing

"Be careful"Black warned

"Yes, I heard you. The boys are complaining they're hungry"Nnenna said

"Okay then. I'm coming right away"Black said before the call came to an end, she went to the kitchen immediately to look for what to prepare for them but there was nothing in the kitchen. Her phone started ringing again and it was still Raphael, she hissed and threw her phone away. She left the house and went to the nearest super market to get noodles and eggs,that is the instant food she could get for them. She made the noodles as fast as she can and left the house immediately heading to the hospital immediately.

The taxi she entered dropped her in front of the hospital,she rushed inside and met her sister with the kids, Nnenna saw her come in and smiled weakly

The boys stood up and hug her immediately, she gave them the food and went to sit beside Nnenna

"How's your health?"Black asked

"I'm weak"Nnenna struggled to say

"Don't worry by tomorrow you're going to undergo surgery"Black said

"Where will you get such large amount of money from?"Nnenna asked

"Don't worry, all you have to do is to try and recover"Black says and lean over kissing her forehead with a tear escaping her eyes,she wiped it away and plaster a fake smile on her face

"Okay"Nnenna replied and closed her eyes. Black stood up leaving the room, she went to a secluded place and cried her eyes out, she is scared. She is so scared of loosing her sister. She can't imagine a world without Nnenna in it, she is just eighteen years old girl going through pains an average man can't go through,she's so angry and sad at the fact she was born with a weak immune system.

***

Raphael wasn't at rest, he was busy walking up and down thinking about why Black had refuse to pick up his call, he had sent her several messages but she replied to non. He suddenly remembered that her sister was in hospital,he is not sure if she's still admitted or not because Black had told him it is not something serious.

He took his car key and decided to go to the hospital and confirm it himself.

**

Close to an hour later,Raphael park his car in the parking lot of the hospital, he went inside immediately and went to meet the receptionist

"Good afternoon Ma'am"Raphael greeted

"Good afternoon,how can I help you?"The receptionist asked

"Uhmm I'm looking for a patient"Raphael said cracking his brain to remember Black sister's name. He suddenly remembered and smiled "yes Nnenna"

"Oh the girl with a weak immune system"The receptionist said and Raphael nodded,he wasn't even sure about that. "Just follow this corridor,she's in room 39"

"Thank you"Raphael said before following the instruction giving to him by the receptionist.

He saw room 39 and knocked on the door before opening the door,the first person his eyes landed on were the twins. He saw Nnenna laying on the bed looking so weak, you can easily think she's dead.

"Good afternoon"Raphael greeted and three siblings raise their head to see him. The boys went back to what they were doing,Nnenna manage to smile when her eyes landed on Raphael

"I know you"Nnenna breathes out

"Don't stress yourself, where is your sister?"Raphael asked

"She went out not too long ago"Nnenna replied.

"What's wrong with you,you look very weak"Raphael asked

"I have a breathing problem"Nnenna replied

"Okay. I would love to see the doctor, I will be back soon"Raphael said standing up. He left the room and went to the doctor's office knocking on the door. He heard a faint come in and pushed the door open going inside

"Good afternoon sir"Raphael greeted

"Good afternoon"The doctor replied gesturing him to sit down and he did just that.

"Sir I'm here to ask about Nnenna's health"Raphael said and the doctor dropped the file he was holding focusing on Raphael

"Who are you to her?"the doctor asked

"I'm a distance family members,I heard about her condition three days back and decided to stop at the hospital and talk with her sister but she isn't around and I decided to see you"Raphael answered

"Well. Her case is very critical and she needs to undergo surgery as soon as possible, her health is not guaranteed"The doctor said

"How much is the cost of the hospital bill? Raphael asked

"Close to two million"The doctor replied.

"Can I make a deposit so that the operation can start immediately"Raphael asked

"You can deposit, I will gather my team in less than two hours,we should be able to conduct the operation by then"the doctor said

"Thank you"Raphael said and stood up shaking the doctor's hand

Black wiped her tears with the back of her hand when her phone started ringing,she took her phone and met it was her manager calling her. She took the call immediately

"Hello"Black says as soon as she picked the call

"Are you ready? Meet at five star hotel, room 104"the manager said and ended the call not giving Black a chance to talk.

She stood up immediately brushing an imaginary dust from her trouser,she left the hospital immediately taking a taxi to the hotel her manager asked her to meet him. She came down from the taxi and paid entering the hospital,she went to meet the receptionist

"Good afternoon"Black says

"Good afternoon madam, how may I help you?"The receptionist asked

"I'm looking for Mr Mathew, he recently lodge in room 104"Black replied

"Okay"the receptionist said and made a call "follow this way, he is waiting for you"the receptionist said and Black nodded heading to the room

She stopped in the front of room 104 and her hands were busy shaking,she was scared she still can't believe what she's here to do. She had no choice because Nnenna's health is more important than the fact she's about selling her body,it shouldn't be hard for a stripper like her. She gave herself words of encouragement before knocking on the door.

The door opened revealing her manager, the old man had a big smile on his face and opened the door wider for Black should enter,Black did as she was told.

Her manager made sure to lock the door behind before stepping closer to the room. Black look around the room and was surprised to see a dance pole inside the room

"Get naked"Her manager said sitting on the bed

"What?!"Black asked

"I don't like repeating myself twice, I said get naked!"the man said and a tear escaped Black face. She wiped it off immediately and begin removing her shirt,the shirt dropped down revealing her lace bra, she unbuttoned her trouser too revealing a white lace pant. Black felt so naked in front of her manager who was busy enjoying the show

"You're still not naked"Her manager said and she forcefully swallowed the lump on her throat, removing her bra and pant. She went completely naked as the manager wanted,he stood up and switched off the bright light leaving the room in only blue light. The manager went closer to Black accessing her body, touching and feeling her. She tried her best not to gag

"Before we go to the main deal,I want you to dance in this pole naked" the manager said and Black nodded. Her manager put on a seductive song,Black went closer to the pole holding it when her phone suddenly started ringing.

"Ignore the phone!"Her manager said and she nodded holding the pole again, she started dancing round the pole while her manager took a cup of wine busy enjoying the show. The phone kept on ringing,Black couldn't hold it in anymore and took her phone

"Let me answer this first"she said and picked the call

"Good afternoon madam,you have to head to the hospital immediately,your signature is needed before we can go ahead conducting any operation on your sister"the doctor said

"I haven't deposited"Black says

"A good samaritan did,you should head over to the hospital right away"the doctor said and the call came to an. Black dropped her phone immediately and took her clothes wearing them

"Why are you wearing your clothes"Her manager asked

"I'm needed at the hospital"Black replied zipping her trouser up

"It looks like you don't need the money"her manager said bitterly,he was busy enjoying seeing her naked. Black didn't reply and rushed out of the hotel looking for a taxi.
