"Open the door. I want to see her. I want to see the drama she wants to act out. This will be fun," I mumbled. He rose to his feet amd unlocked the door.

Eyes flashed with pure anger rested on Prince and then, met mine. I rose from the ground and sent an equally fierce glare at her. In a twinkle of an eye, she ran to me and a hard slap kissed my cheek. My face turned to the side and I placed my palm on my cheek.

Wow! She actually dared. Well I asked for drama and I should definitely put on a good show.

Whatever angry glare she sent to me could not be compared to my eyes that blazed like a fierce fire. I looked at her and my lips quirked up. Okay! Let's give her a taste of her own medicine.

I gave her two times the slap she gave me. It was by far more harder. My palm kissed her right cheek and I gave her a backhand slap on the left.

According to all the people I know, my slaps are always painful. Hehe!

Amarachi gasped and rubbed her cheeks. I could see her eyes burn with tears. She didn't let them out instead she lunged and charged at me. She gripped my hair and pulled it as if to do a tug of war. I winced and gripped hers too. I pulled like my life depended on it.

"Leave my man alone!" she screamed and shook my head. A handful of my braids still in her hands.

"Let go of her, Amarachi. What's wrong with you?" Prince yelled and pushed Amarachi away from me. This freed my hair and I took it as a opportunity to inflict pain on her. She must regret attacking me. I kicked her ankle and punched her belly.

Score point for me! Men, I have to thank all those my male friends that used to join me to do playful wrestling match. Yeah! I always fight them but it's always the playful kind.

"Aargh!" Amarachi growled and scratched my neck with her long artifical nails. She gripped my neck and bellowed, "You will pay for doing this to me. How dare you? Do you know who I am?"

"Yes! Amarachi, deal with her. That woman doesn't know her place. Fight for your man!" Prince's sister cheered as soon as she arrived. His mother had an encouraging smile directed to Amarachi.

I gripped her hands that were on my neck and twisted them till she let go. Prince coiled his arms around my waist and lifted me up. When Amarachi swung her fist to hit me, he gripped it and tossed her away. She fell to the ground and glared at me. Prince carried me to his balcony. When my legs touched the ground, he released my waist and stomped towards Amarachi. He grasped her wrist, pulled her to her feet and took her out of the room. He slammed his door at his family's face and groaned.

My heart pounded against my ribcage and my chest rose and fell with my deep intake of breath. My blood still boiled with anger and my scalp was aching. She really pulled my hair so hard. It hurts. I ran my fingers through my black braids and winced. I sat on the bed and stared at the ground as I tried to catch my breathe.

The bed dipped beside me and I looked up to meet Prince's gaze. He placed his hand on my shoulder. "Are you okay? Did she hurt you? Show me," he voiced.

I shook my head. "No! I'm okay"

His brows drew down and he scowled. "There is a mark on your neck. She scratched you. What's wrong with her? Is she an animal?"

I shrugged. His fingers caressed the spot on my neck and I cringed. It actually stung. "Is there something I can apply to heal it? I have a first aid kit in my room".

"Don't worry! It's just a small injury. I know what to apply that will make it better"

He sighed and looked at me through his long lashes. "I'm sorry. I'm extremely sorry about Amarachi's attitude and hostility towards you. I know you signed our contract to help me get rid of her but you didn't sign to get hurt and now, you are. I feel guilty that I'm the reason behind this. I'm so sorry".

I waved my hand dismissively. "Don't say sorry it's not you fault"

"It is my fault!" he insisted.

"Prince, when I signed to be your girlfriend, I wanted drama and I'm getting it. I fought today and I'm proud to tell you that I won because I'm sure wherever Amarachi is, she will be crying in pain. Did you see the slap I gave her? It go pain am," I said and smirked.

"Where else did she hurt you?" he asked.

"My scalp hurts and I'm having a splitting headache right now. Apart from that, I'm fine"

He sighed again. A sad expression on his handsome face. I nudged him and glared at him.

"Why should Mr Handsome be sad? I'm okay," I said and chuckled to prove that I was in a good mood. "It was so funny when I saw Amarachi's face the moment I slapped her. She couldn't believe her eyes. I'm sure she thought she could intimidate me. Fool!"

"I was also surprised when I saw you attack her at once. You didn't even hesitate. You just defended yourself"

A smug look appeared on my face and I pretended to dust my shoulder and winked at him. "I'm an Action Lady. You mess with me. You get your punishment".

"I'm impressed," he smirked. "Really impressed".

My head kept pounding and I let out an exaspareted sigh.

"I'm sorry about Amarachi"

"Don't apologize. The next time you apologize, I'll punch you. It's not your fault that a crazy woman like that fell for your handsome look....Wait! Um...I think it is your fault. Why do you have to be so handsome?" I lifted a brow, crossed my arms over my chest and curved my lips into a teasing smile.

He cocked a brow and slowly said, "W-h-a-t?"

"Yes! Your charm drove Amarachi crazy. Do you treat her well or are you always cold to her?"

He shrugged. "I just treat her the normal way. I'm not cold"

"Maybe you should try being cold and heartless to her. It will scare her away. Your gentleman approach can make any woman to be falling for you"

"Any woman?" he sent a sidelong glance at me.

"Wait! Do you...Are you...Do you think I will fall for your charm?" I gasped.

He threw his hand in the air in a mock surrender. "You said any woman!"

"I'm not any woman. I can resist your charm"

His lips tipped up in a dimpled smile. "You are definitely not any woman. You're unique"

I smirked. "Thanks for the compliment!" My head throbbed and I pressed my palm against it. "I think it's time I go home. I need to rest".

"Sure!" he rose to his feet. "I'll take you home. I'm so..."

I narrowed my eyes.

"I'm not sorry....no...I mean,...um...Let's go!"

I burst into laughter after seeing his confused look. He shook his head and stretched his hand to me. I placed mine on his and his hand engulfed mine. I rose, slid my hand off his and went to his bed. I picked my bag, threw my phone into it and we both left the room.

We met Amarachi on the couch with a woman massaging her leg. I smirked and decided to taunt her.

"What's wrong Amarachi? Does your leg hurt?" I asked.

Her eyes snapped to my directions. She snarled and rolled her eyes.

"You're just lucky your ex-boyfriend...Whoops! Sorry I meant to say my boyfriend. Stopped me"

She clenched her jaw and said through gritted teeth, "He is my fiance".

"Did he propose to you? Stop dreaming, woman. You're single and desperate. Shame!" I glanced at Prince who was silent. "Tell me, Prince. Is she your fiance?"

Prince pursed his lips. He glanced at Amarachi and then at me.

Don't even dream of saying yes. You must play along. I thought despite the fact he couldn't hear me.

"No! You are my girlfriend. She's nobody to me"

My lips curved into a smile.  "Amarachi, you heard him right? So stay away from my boyfriend".

"NO!" she yelled. "Prince is my husband".

"Ah ahan! Haba? Husband ke? When did the wedding take place? Come out of your dreamland, craze woman. I know you're hurt but that's how life is, you get hurt and you move on. So MOVE ON!"

I wrapped my arms around Prince's and we walked out of the house. When we got to his car, he turned to me and folded his arms across his chest. "Trust me. I never want to be your enemy. You will just finish me with your mouth"

"That was just small. If I want to go big, I can," I said. He opened the car door for me. I giggled and slid into the car.
