EPISODE 59

Something wrong?

FLASHBACK- TWO YEARS AGO

INT. KINGS MANOR- NIGHT

Inside the closet, Imade sits in her usual position before her large vanity as she applies her nightly skin care cream to her face. Imade’s focus shifts to Wemimo’s beeping phone which lies on her vanity. She ignores it and continues her skin care regimen. Seconds later, the phone beeps again. She ignores again but suddenly turns her attention back to it and looks at the phone intensely. She picks it up but opens her mouth shock when she stopped by the password

IMADE

He passworded it

Then the phone vibrates and she sees wrong voice password

IMADE

Voice password at that…. Are you kidding me?

She tries to bypass but to no avail

WEMIMO

Imade!

She quickly drops the phone back on her vanity, then Wemimo enters the closet

IMADE

(Tries to school her expression) Yes

WEMIMO

Are you okay?

IMADE

(Flashes her teeth) Why won’t be I?

He sighs deeply

WEMIMO

(In a cool voice) What did I do now?

IMADE

What made you think you did something?

WEMIMO

Your fake smile, I only get that when I have done something wrong

IMADE

(Chuckles) Since you pride yourself on knowing me so well, what did you do wrong? I mean you came home, we made up, had another great sex… so, between my arrival to the present, what could you have possibly?

WEMIMO

I guess it is the wrong time to plead for Aunty Bebii

IMADE

I see she told you of her wrong doing

WEMIMO

On a scale of one to ten, how mad are you?

IMADE

(With a scrunched expression) Mad? How are you not mad? She made such important decision behind your back

WEMIMO

I gave her the autonomy to make important decisions she seems fits for KINGS

IMADE

So, cutting me out of my own company is the right decision… now I see where they all got the audacity to disrespect me... you

Wemimo moves closer to her

WEMIMO

Come on, Imade, it is just a small misunderstanding

IMADE

(Scoffs) Small misunderstanding? Don’t patronize me, Wemimo. I am sure she wanted me gone like the others and she cut me out the first chance she got

WEMIMO

What are you talking about? She wanted you gone? Leaving KINGS has always been what you wanted, so, she thought you were gone for good, just the way you wanted.

IMADE

Even if I was gone for good, she should grovel at my feet and beg me not to go but I guess she thinks am not needed in making million for KINGS anymore

WEMIMO

(Looks disgusted) Grovel at your fear, beg you… When did you become so proud, Imade?

Imade laughs out loud, then packs her hair with a hair band

IMADE

I am not mad, Wemimo… tell her I said thanks, she freed me. Now I don’t have to lose any sleep over meeting any deadline. Why will I be mad at that?

WEMIMO

It just a simple misunderstanding

IMADE

(Stern) Misunderstanding or not, I am not designing for KINGS anymore

WEMIMO

You are joking right?

IMADE

No, am not

WEMIMO

We make at least 150 million US dollars as revenue from private collection annually… if you are not in charge of private collection, we are going lose it all

IMADE

(Laughs out loud) I know right, but I am sure Aunty Bebii has a plan for that, don’t worry and frankly I want to see how KINGS will do without me

WEMIMO

So, what are you going to do with your designs?

IMADE

What?

WEMIMO

You are not going to stop designing, what are you going to do with the designs, sew them for yourself

IMADE

I don’t know but sewing them for myself is not bad idea

WEMIMO

Imade!

IMADE

Or maybe I will give it to Dupe for her loyalty to me. That lady is truly loyal servant

WEMIMO

(Becomes inpatient) You think this is a joke?

IMADE

No, I don’t or maybe I should try private show. I think I will have my own private show, what do you think?

Wemimo balls his hands in anger and this makes Imade smirks

IMADE

(Taunts him) A great idea right?

She stands up and leaves the closet with Wemimo at her rear

WEMIMO

You were angry with me before, so now is not the best time to have such important decision with you. Anger tends to cloud your judgment sometime

IMADE

Even if I am cumming on your dick, Wemimo, my decision will remain the same. Aunty Bebii disrespected me and she needs to be punished

WEMIMO

For a simple mistake, you will punish KINGS for one person’s transgression

IMADE

Yes, but I will also send a message to your other cronics too

She sits on the bed

WEMIMO

What kind of message?

IMADE

(In a loud voice) I am KINGS, I am KINGS, I am the only reason why KINGS is what she is today.

Wemimo opens his mouth in complete exasperation as Imade covers herself with the blanket

WEMIMO

Imade, when did you become so…

IMADE

Proud? Maybe I am proud but I am tried of taking your people’s shit and disregard for me. KINGS will be hurt in the process but it is not something she won’t come back from

WEMIMO

I am not going to let you do that

IMADE

(Smirks) I don’t expect you to, hit me with whatever you have got

She lies on the bed, seconds late, Wemimo sits next to her on the bed

WEMIMO

I heard you visited our school

Imade opens her eyes and sits up with scowl

IMADE

You need to stop following me, Wemimo

WEMIMO

Follow you, I did no such thing

IMADE

Then how did you know I went to our school because that was not today

WEMIMO

The girls told me, they were so excited about

IMADE

(Relaxes) oh!

WEMIMO

Why will I spy on you?

IMADE

I won’t put it past you

WEMIMO

Imade!

IMADE

Whatever

She rests back on the bed

WEMIMO

May I ask why you suddenly decide to go back there after so many years?

IMADE

I told you I want to pursue my dream but I was stuck and I didn’t know the way forward

WEMIMO

I guess you have a way forward now

IMADE

Yes, I am thinking lecturing

WEMIMO

You don’t even have a masters

IMADE

Which is why that will be my step in achieving my dream

WEMIMO

I will look into schools broad

She gives him a dirty look

WEMIMO

What?

IMADE

I guess you want me out so you can have your way with your mistress right

WEMIMO

What?

IMADE

We are expecting another twin and you want me out of country, so fatherly of you

WEMIMO

I didn’t think to that extent

IMADE

Of course you did not since you were thinking with your dick

WEMIMO

(Upset) I don’t appreciate that tune, Imade

IMADE

Of course not, you don’t. Cheaters don’t like when they are called out

WEMIMO

When are you going to stop accusing me of something I did not do

IMADE

When you stop giving me a reason to accuse you, now, you are passwording your phone

WEMIMO

You went through my phone again

IMADE

Tried is the word you are looking, you locked me out and if you have nothing to hide, why is there a password on your fucking phone

WEMIMO

So to stop you from snooping around

IMADE

What harm will my snooping around bring to you.

WEMIMO

You have no business with my phone

IMADE

No business with your phone, Wemimo, you are cheating on me

WEMIMO

No, am not

IMADE

Then, show me your phone

WEMIMO

IMADE

No?

WEMIMO

No, I am not cheating on you but I am also not showing you my phone

IMADE

Oh really?

WEMIMO

Yes

Imade stands up and drags the big blanket from their bed

WEMIMO

Come on, Imade what are you doing?

IMADE

You are cheating on me, Wemimo and I know it

WEMIMO

I am not

IMADE

Maybe you are not but you are not giving me anything to rid my suspicion

WEMIMO

Can you just take my word for it?

IMADE

No, I need your phone

He sighs deeply and looks frustrated

WEMIMO

I am not giving you my phone, Imade

Imade looks betrayed

WEMIMO

This is no longer funny anyone, you can’t trust my word and take it for what I say it is, then we have a serious problem in our marriage

IMADE

(In a loud voice) And whose fault is that?

She leaves the room, banging the door with her exit

NEXT ON WHY

WEMIMO

She has a weak heart beat

IMADE

Exactly, weak heartbeat. If her heart is functioning properly, why will she have a weak heartbeat?

WEMIMO

It could be a symptom of an underlying disease, which we don’t know if that is what it is yet. Doctor Paloma assured us that this is normal with multiple babies

IMADE

One child with heart defect is a coincidence but for another child to have it is certainly not normal. Something is wrong Wemimo, I think I am distributing heart defects to my children
