"Mum, I can't do what you're asking me to do; that guy in question is my best friend for crying out loud," Carlos told his mum.

"Don't dare me, this boy; Evelyn is from a wealthy family, and I want to be her mother-in-law," Mrs. Christiana barked.

"Mother-in-law keh, mum, enough of all these your drama," Carlos said, trying to calm down.

"Evelyn or no one else," said Mrs. Christiana, going to meet her husband.

"I'm betrothed to Stella," Carlos replied. He picked up his bag and left to meet his friend.

Stanley was enjoying himself under a coconut tree in the large compound; he was admiring Evelyn, his wife-to-be, who was inside the swimming pool.

"Hey, nigga," Evelyn waved at Chike the moment she saw him coming.

"You're really enjoying yourself, Evelyn," said Carlos, smiling and walking towards Stanley.

"I've missed you, Carlos. Hope you ain't going back today?" Stanley asked.

"You missed him?" Evelyn chipped.

"Of course, he has always been my best friend, so I miss our gist and everything," Stanley said.

"I understand, besties," Evelyn mocked.

Chike smiled and sat beside Stanley.

"Are your parents back?" Carlos asked.

Stanley smiled and nodded.

"The wedding is just in a few days; said Evelyn, jumping out of the swimming pool.

"Yes, I can't wait,"Carlos

said.

"Likewise me, it's my wedding," laughed Stanley.

Evelyn dried her wet body and entered the mansion.

"I've missed you so much, Carlos," Stanley told him, trying to dip his hand inside Carlos's trouser.

"Stop it, Stanley; Evelyn might be watching,"Carlos shouted, pushing his hand away.

"Let's go inside then."

During dinner, Ella came downstairs, waiting patiently for Stanley and Carlos. She couldn't wait anymore; she ran upstairs to call them.

She opened Stanley's room; he wasn't there. She ran to Carlos's room and saw them talking and laughing, sweating heavily at the same time.

"Dinner is ready," she said and left immediately.

"Why are they sweating under AC? The question kept ringing in her head.

When they were about finishing their food, she spoke.

"You guys were sweating under AC minutes ago," she spoke, looking at Stanley in the eyes.

"Sweating under AC? Yes, we were practicing how to dance on the wedding day," Carlos lied.

"Are you kidding me?" Evelyn asked, dropping her spoon.

Stanley unlocked his phone and showed her the dance they were practicing. Evelyn wasn't still satisfied; she was sensing something.

"It's fine," she replied and went to her room. She dialed Stella's number, and she picked up immediately.

"Hey, baby girl," Stella shouted.

"Stella, please don't fail to come tomorrow; you know this wedding is in a few days' time," Evelyn told her.

"I know, dear; I'll be coming in the morning," Stella replied.

Evelyn was silent for a while before she ended the call. She stood up from the bed and tiptoed to Carlos's room. She placed her ear on the door, and her heart skipped.

Someone was moaning inside the room. Evelyn held her head and started crying. She was still crying when Stanley and Carlos walked up to her.

"Why are you crying?" Stanley asked.

"Jesus!" Evelyn screamed. "What's the problem?" Carlos said.

"Nothing, something entered my eye," she lied and ran to her room.

"What sort of useless mind do I have? Why am I even thinking nonsense? God, forgive me, please," she said to herself.

"Eveyln is probably suspecting us," said Carlos.

"She isn't," Stanley replied."If she's not suspecting us, why was she crying here? That back door saved us."

"Is she up to something?" Stanley asked, looking at Carlos.

"I don't know; talk to her, please, before she spoils my rep.

"Stanley interrupted him by planting a kiss on his lips.

Stella arrived at Stanley's mansion the next morning; she met Evelyn in the swimming pool sipping her wine.

"The swimming pool is my favorite place; I've been thinking a lot," Evelyn said.

"Hey," Stella waved at her.

"Stella," Evelyn called and dropped the tumbler.

"Are you okay?" Stella asked.

"Yeah, Stella, I'm fine. Get a seat for yourself," said Evelyn.

Stella got a seat for herself and sat down facing Evelyn, who was washing her face.

"You're not okay, Evelyn. Is there something I should know about Carlos?" Evelyn asked.

"Chike is your ex-boyfriend, and I think you should know everything about him when you guys were dating," Stella answered.

"There's something I need to know about Carlos and Stanley. I think they are homosexuals."

"My Carlos doesn't do men, please. What are you talking about? Have you ever caught him red-handed before?" Stella asked, raising her voice.

"You're shouting, Stella. I haven't caught him or Stanley before, but I'm sensing that. Stella, I'm ready to call off this wedding," Evelyn told her.

"You want to call off your wedding over something you ain't sure of? You must be playing."

"They were sweating under AC yesterday night; I asked them both and they lied that they were practicing dancing steps," said Evehgin a low tone.

"The wedding is fast approaching. I sent them the video of the..."

"It's fine, Stella. I don't know I'm being deceived by my heart," interrupted Ele.

Stella stood up and went inside; she went to meet Carlos, who was playing a game.

"Babe," he called immediately he saw her.

"Been calling you since yesterday 😔," she said and fell on his body.

"I wasn't in a good mood," he replied, kissing her fingers.

"What's going on?" Stella asked.

"It's your friend; yesterday we were practicing."

"She already told me; I don't know that guy doesn't have sense," Stella said.

"That's my ex-girlfriend, Stella."

"And so? Why will she be thinking rubbish?" Stella shouted.

"Can you just calm down? It's okay, please."

"Gosh," Stella shouted again.

Carlos stood up and left the room for her.

Stella took her bath and went downstairs to join Evelyn, who was watching a movie.

"They were gisting when Ella heard some sounds coming from upstairs."

"Someone is moaning, Stella," Eveyln told her.

"Nobody is moaning; your ears need to be cut off."

"I said someone is moaning, Stanley.... I'm getting married to a gay? Jesus Christ," Evelyn cried; she stood up and dragged Stella.

"Let's go check on them," she said.

"Hey, ladies!" Carlos said from behind with a pack of pizza in his hand.

Stella looked at Evelyn, and she covered her face immediately.

"Eveyln!" Stella called.

"I'm so sorry, please," Evelyn apologized.

Carlos dropped the pizza on the table and ran upstairs to meet Stanley, who was masturbating.

"Stanley, you're taking this too far; your wife is already suspecting us, and you know how smart that girl is," Carlos shouted at Stanley.

"How?" he asked.

"Your ears are fenced, bro; can't you just enter the car, go to any hotel nearby, and do whatever you want to do? If Evelyn should find out, I'm sorry, this wedding won't hold," Carlos warned.

"I've heard you; please, I've missed you."

"I'm not in the mood, Stanley," Carlos replied.

The next day, Evelyn traveled to see her parents; Carlos had gone to see his mum who was disturbing him to get Evelyn pregnant.

Stella and Stanley were the only ones left in the mansion.

Stella heard moans coming from upstairs; she became scared and panicked for minutes. She decided to go check on Stanley and found him masturbating.

She entered the room, looking at Stanley who couldn't say a word.

"It's true," she murmured.

She pulled off her clothes and gave him what he wanted.

"Are you gay?" Stella asked after they were done.

"I'm not," he replied.

"I don't know why Ella is so stupid," Stella shouted.

"Please leave; she will soon be back," Stanley said, dressing up.

Stella stood up and left the room; she smiled and went to shower.

"I just wish I can get pregnant for this guy; I can't wait to live in this kind of building," she said to herself.

Stella was taking her bath when Stanley tiptoed in. He held her from the back, and the rest was history.

Stanley dressed up and was about to come out of the room when he jammed Carlos.

"Hey, you're back," he said, laughing.

"What happened?" Carlos asked.

"What do you mean? Nothing happened, Carlos," he responded.

"But I just saw you coming out of my room..."

"Sure! I only went there to ask Stella some questions about Evelyn," he said."Are you sure, Stanley?" asked Carlos.

"Believe me, bro, I've missed you so much I can't wait to have you tonight," said Stanley, kissing him.

Carlos didn't say a word; he dropped his bag and entered the room. Stella welcomed him.

"What was Stanley doing here?" he asked, adjusting Stella's shirt.

"Oh! He came to ask some questions concerning Evelyn," she replied.

"Isn't she back yet?"

"No, I even called her this morning; she sounded like someone who's not bothered about her wedding," Stella said.

"Are you being serious?" Carlos widened his brow.

"She once told me she will call off the wedding...

"That evening, Carlos went out with Stanley to see Evelyn. The wedding was in two days, but Evelyn was nowhere to be found.

"Good evening, ma..." greeted Stanley and Carlos.

"My sons, you're welcome ooo..." replied Evelyn's mum, who was reading a book.

"Thank you, ma. Mommy, is Ella inside?" Stanley asked.

"Eveyln?" asked the perplexed woman.

"Yes, she left the house three days ago, and..."

"I haven't set my eyes on Emmanuella since she left this house with you," she interrupted..

"Where could she be?" Csnmoipasked.

"Her numbers are switched off!!!" shouted Stanley.

"Wait, are you children telling me that my only child is missing?" Mrs. Meg asked the two confused men.

"Why is Evelyn behaving this way?" Chike murmured.Mrs.

Meg threw the newspaper away and held Stanley by the collar of his shirt.

"Where is my daughter?" she bellowed.

"Please stop embarrassing me, Mrs. Meg," Stanley told her.

"You're embarrassing us, ma," Carlos spoke, and a slap landed on his ear.

"Where is my daughter, Stanley?" Mrs. Meg shouted, hitting him so hard.

Stanley started bleeding from the nose; he freed himself from her grip and ran away with Carlos, leaving the car they came with behind.

"Claire, I need to show you something," Evelyn told her old-time classmate, who she had been staying with for days.

"I'm all ears..." replied Claire.

"Stanley is gay!" she spoke.

"Jesus! How did you find out?"

Eveyln brought out a camera, which she had been hiding; she played the video of Carlos and Stanley doing justice to themselves.

"Is this not Carlos?," Claire asked.

"I am so disappointed; I've asked them several times to tell me the truth, but they kept on lying. I had to get a camera, Claire."

"So you ain't getting married to him anymore?"

"I will never, over my dead body..." Eveyln responded.

"I've always loved Stanley; I think this is a good time to get him to myself..." Claire thought.

"I think you should call off the wedding..."

"The wedding has been called off already. The wedding is tomorrow, and none of them knows my whereabouts...

I can't wait to deal with those two monsters..." said Evelyn.

"Don't do anything yet, just calm down..." Claire advised.

"The wedding has been called off, Mum..." Stanley told his mum.

"What really came over Evelyn?" Stanley's dad asked.

"I can't tell; her mum nearly beat the living hell out of me a day before yesterday."

"I think we should report to the police about Evelyn's disappearance..." his mum suggested.

"Carlos and I..."

"Done that already?" his dad interrupted.

"I'll personally deal with that girl..." Stanley's mum said.
