Hafsat had always been that party type that she boasted God couldn't stop her from partying. Her parents took her to Islamic clerics to remove that party spirit from her, but the exorcism never worked and she found pride telling everyone that. Her parents gave up on her after many attempts to change her for good. Her father told her he would ignore her when she's being dragged to hell.
Hafsat got what she had been looking for the night she went to a party. She met with Joe, who was rumoured to be a ritualist, but she didn't care. "No be say nah every time im dey kill person. Perhaps, no one ever caught him killing someone," she had thought before approaching him. They danced to one of Naira Marley's songs which she never liked, but she had to show Joe how naughty she was and how she was ready to go down. "Easy meat! E be like say this one no get parent " Joe thought before offering to take her to a hotel. She agreed and they bargained for a price before they left the party.
"Girl, settle down and relax, I want to freshen up," Joe told Hafsat before heading to the bathroom. He stripped himself naked and tied around his waist a piece of red frabic as he had been told. "Rape before slitting her throat," he thought before he left the bathroom.
Hafsat open her eyes wide on seeing Joe's penis; it was massive. This distracted her that she didn't notice the red fabric around his waist. Joe pounced on her and began to rip her dress off. "Calm down tiger, we are doing this together nah," she said. But Joe didn't listen, he wanted to unbutton her jean. Hafsat garnered strength before pushing him off her. That was when she saw what Joe had around his waist. She didn't have time to gather enough information before Joe pounced on her again. He had his way after the second attempt; he raped her.
Joe couldn't slit Hafsat's throat, he had forgotten the knife in the bathroom. He told Hafsat to lay still else he was going to kill her. He went back to the bathroom to pick the knife. Hafsat wasn't stupid, she stood up, walked where the fridge was and brought out a bottle of Hennessey immediately Joe entered the bathroom. Joe opened the bathroom door and couldn't find Hafsat on the bed, she was already behind him. She raised the bottle high and crashed it on his head. His skull cracked and he died almost immediately.
Hafsat left the hotel with Joe's wallet and smart phone. She was tempted to let everyone know she was a true "slay" queen, but the fear of prison didn't let her. She resumed partying after a week break. There, she saw another good looking guy. "One thing must kill man," she said before moving close to the man.
