Pastor Ezekiel looked at Ify and licked his lips, he was happy he finally succeeded in having her.

Finally he decided to use his title as a pastor to get what he wants, and it paid off. He grinned and looked at Ify once again, she avoided his eyes and bowed her head. Ify felt very uncomfortable with the way he looked at her, but she kept her cool, and kept consoling herself that she was there for just a short period of time and would return home soon.
Pastor Ezekiel took Ify to the room she would stay until he was done with her. after showing her all the necessary things she would need, he left the room. Ify heaved a sigh of relief and slumped on the bed, she was tired after a long day of arguing with her mother, so she slept off immediately. She woke up hours later to realize something was crawling on her body, she jumped out of the bed in fear, and started searching for her touch light in the little bag she brought cause the room was very dark. In the process of searching desperately, she felt what seemed like someone’s hand on the bed, she stepped back immediately and shouted “who is there”.
