“Youknowwhat,youdon‟thavetoanswermenow,gatheryourthoughts andgetback to me”Libra hung up.
Libra smiled knowing she had just messed up with his brain. He definitelywouldnotreturnto thatprayer .

Bayo lost his peace after Libra hung up, he began to think about his time inher house, he couldn‟t remember any special moments between them, infact he couldn‟t remember locking eyes with her.They just spoke casuallyto her like an Aunt, even though as he was thinking about it, she was abouttheirages, MoneyhadjustgivenherthehonourofbeingcalledAunty.
Bayo had brought out his phone , he checked the gallery folder to check outa selfie picture he had taken with her at one of the restaurants they had allgoneto..

“Andthatgoodlifeincludes?”Bayoasked
“ Good food, great house, great cars, traveling around the world”“And?‟
„And…” Libra realized she actually had no more answers. Bayo had justmade her realize the simplicity in Life, and this questioned her quest forwealth.

She knew if she had playedher card well, Ada would ask to join them in Portharcourt, and the last preywouldgetinto her trap…
“Preys?”Libramouthed.
She wasn‟t sure she was doing well with one of them, she felt like she wasbecoming the prey, she was becoming weak when Bayo was involved .
