GREGI was trying endlessly to loose this fucking chain I was chained with but it was of no use. How was this supposed to work anyways?
Once they release me, I will run away and lay low probably get a facial surgery and I will come after Darrell and then I will hunt all of them down and kill them. Bastards that’s what they get for messing with me.
They finished their useless meeting and walked up to me.
“What’s your decision?” they exchanged looks and their leader spoke I think his name is Dele.
“We accept. You look like a nice person and we don’t want you to get killed”🙄
“Really?” so gullible😏
“Yeah”
“Where is your debit card?” I’m glad they are speaking English now not that funny language they were speaking before.
“I can’t give it to you if my hands are tied”
“Jide search his pocket”
“We should loose me first” I protested as the other guy started searching my pocket.
“We are trying to help you mister”
“Found it” he brought out the debit card from my breast pocket.
“We should probably go to the ATM machine”
“Don’t worry, we have POS” 🤣
“What’s your pin?”
“You don’t expect me to tell you that, it’s supposed to be private”
“We are trying to help you but we see you don’t need help. We will wait for Darrell then”
“You can’t do that”
“Who this one think say he be self?” one of them asked yelling.
“Give us your pin. Don’t make us force it out of you” Dele said with bloodshot eyes. Jeez, these guys don’t joke money.
“Fine. 5,5,9,7.”
“You made the right decision”
“Done. Good boy” he said slapping my face softly as he put my card back in my pocket.
“Can I go now? I gave you what you wanted”
“Actually, we lied about letting you go”😂
“What? you can’t be serious” I half yelled.
“Do these faces look like we are joking. We are dead serious”
“How dare you?” I yelled trying to break free from these chains.
“Guy relax. Nor be your country you dey na naija you dey. If you do anyhow, you go see anyhow”
“You’re all bloody cheats”
“Dele abeg allow us teach am small lesson”
“No ooo. You want kill am, you nor see he body too soft. If you guys pounce on him now na mortuary ooo”😂
“True talk”
Bastards, I’m gonna have to find a way to get out of here. Since, they love money so much, I’m gonna use it against them. I just need to find a loophole.
DARRELL“Nigeria?”
“Yeah, I’m just guessing though”
“I’m still gonna check it out”
“You’re traveling to Nigeria?”
“No, not really. I got people there too”
“You are that influencatial?”
“Yes” I rolled my eyes.
“Don’t you think the cold room punishment is too extreme?”
“People need extreme punishment and this serves as a warning for others. There has to be law and order and fear”
“I know that but I still think it’s still extreme”
“I only punish those who deserve to be punished”
She sighed. “Did Daniela work in the factory”
“She did, once but couldn’t keep up. She’s pretty lazy and don’t tell her I said that”
“I’m definitely gonna tell her”😂
“Whatever”
“How much is your net worth Darrell?” Too many questions😂
“You should ask google”
“Darrell” she hit my shoulders.
“OK fine. Forty five billion dollars”
Her jaw dropped. “What?”
“Close your mouth before something gets into it” I teased.
“I never knew you were that wealthy”
“Of course, I am wealthy. I am Darrell Bingwen after all”
“You’re so full of yourself”
I chuckled. “What about Asher?”
“Thirty eight billion dollars. I’m just slightly richer than him”
“You call seven billion dollars slightly”
I rolled my eyes. “Yeah and I think you are starting to overreact. You should go to sleep”
“I still wanna talk some more” she pouted. She looks so beautiful and it’s hard to keep my eyes and hands off her.
“Daisy you need to rest”
“Darrell…”
“Go to bed”
“I hate it when you try to control me. I’m an adult and you shouldn’t tell me when or when not to sleep” She half yelled. What’s wrong with her?
“What’s wrong with you Daisy? you’re acting weird and I’m trying my best to understand you”
“Well, I don’t feel like sleeping”😂
“But you have to sleep. You’re pregnant”
“I don’t want to sleep” she yelled. I guess I will have to do this the hard way then.
I held her waist and pulled her to myself.
“Darrell what are you doing?”
“Putting you to sleep” I muttered and almost immediately kissed her. In no time she kissed me back. I made her lie on her back and I kissed her ears. I played with her hair and muttered some random words to her ears.
She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. Great, I can’t believe that worked 🤫. I cuddled her in my arms and kissed her forehead.
“I love you Daisy” Even though, she’s acting crazy.
TASHA“Mom are you okay?” I asked in tears. She looked so thin and pale and she had fainted when she got into the house.
Doctor said she was diagnosed of chronic Leukaemia and it’s in it’s third stage. Dad told me she died, he had promised to treat her lung cancer then if I married Xander.
My ex boyfriend wasn’t the rich type so he couldn’t help. She’s completely cured of her lung cancer and now she has a second cancer that is most likely to kill her.
It’s morning and I barely slept. Xander had to leave to get some food.
“I’m fine” she tried to smile.
“No mom, you’re not fine. What happened dad told me you died and now you have leukaemia?”
“Your dad abandoned me to die in the hospital. I felt so helpless and I thought I was going to die”
“Dad did that?”
“I’m was his legal wife, I supported him in every damn thing he did even when he cheated on me several times with Lee’s mom I still forgave him but he left me die when I needed his support. When I couldn’t pay the hospital bills, the doctor suggested I talked to one of my family members. Who on earth was I supposed to call when everyone deserted me”
I cried. “I’m so sorry mom. I wish I could help. Who paid the bills?”
“Darrell”
“Darrell? I thought you never liked him, you always supported dad in every evil thing he planned against them. Why on earth would Darrell pay your bills when you two clearly don’t like each other?”
“The doctor had pleaded with him and he paid for everything. Not only did he settle the bills, he flew me to the US and made sure I had the best treatment. It made me realize something, I was wrong about him. The person I had least expected saved my life” she coughed.
“Mom said are you OK?”
“I’m fine”
“I know Darrell was always cold but I never expected him to do what he did”
“Me, too”
“How did you end up with Leukaemia?”
“I found out I had leukaemia six months ago and I didn’t want to be a bother to him…”
“You didn’t want to be a bother to him? mom this is your health we are talking about. How come I never knew about this?”
“It wasn’t his place to tell and your dad had warned me not ever make contact with you”
“My days are numbered on this earth and that’s why I wanted to make things right”
“Mom you can’t talk like that, you’re gonna be fine. Xander and I will make sure you get treated” I cried even more.
“I’m sorry Tasha but I have to go now” she started gasping for breath.
“Mom stay with me” I cried and ran to call the doctor.
“We will take it from here madam” the nurse said locking the door. Why can’t I be there?
The doctor came out some minutes later and I rushed to him.
“Doctor how is she?”
“Not good. She urgently needs to undergo a bone marrow transplant”
“I can give her my bone marrow”
“You can’t, you’re pregnant”
“Talk to any of your family members maybe any of them will be willing to give their bone marrow”
“I will” I turned to see Lee. He never liked my mother, why on earth would he want to save her?
“That is if I am a match”
“Lee thank you so much” I hugged him.
“She’s your mother and that makes her my mother too”
“Great we have to check if you are a match”
“There is something I must tell before I leave”
“What is it?”
“I found…” he hesitated.
“You found what?”
“I found Lora’s body”.
