Chapter 3

"You offered a huge amount of money to a family just because you want to get their daughter married to your son, how desperate are you?, you are mentioning half a billion like just five hundred, I will never be part of your plot," says William and he left her in the bedroom

"I know what we will benefit from the arrangements," says Maya, she joined her husband on the balcony,

"Please let me be for now," says William in his low voice,

"How can I let you be when we have issues to attend to, moreover am fighting for what will benefit us," says Maya,

"I don't see anything that will benefit us in this matter of marrying that girl to our son," says William,

"I just want us to buy our company back from Prince Patrick," says Maya,

"the company that you sold many years back, you want to have it back, not even only the company, you want to have the company back with their daughter, who does that? to crying out loud, leave this family alone, am warning you, you can not eat your cake and have it back at your palm" says William,

"Whether I have your support or not, am going on with my arrangements and plans," says Maya, "well, anything you discover in your nasty plans and arrangements, keep it to yourself, don't show me," says William, he angrily steps out of the house.

Maya continues with her internet search, she later called Prince Patrick,

"Hello" Prince Patrick responded, "how far have you gone with my request?" asked Maya, she smiled,

"let me discuss your proposal with my wife and my daughters, but before then, please don't tamper with my family," says Prince Patrick,

"don't bother yourself about that, I will never make any move against my desires," says Maya, she smiled,

"what are your desires?" Prince Patrick inquired,

"l have two different desires in your care, the company, and your daughter," says Maya,

"Are you for real about this issue of company and marriage?" Prince Patrick inquired,

"I mean business," says Maya,

"you want to pay back," says Prince Patrick,

"I don't pay evil with evil, am a good personality, I just want to help you just as you help us in those days" replied Maya, she burst into laughter during the telephone conversations,

"Why are you laughing? you are mocking me with my problems" says Prince Patrick, tears rolling down his face,

"mock, I can never mock you, I saw everything on the platform, I saw your advert on the platform," says Maya, she smiles again,

"Did I put my daughter on the adverts?" inquired Prince Patrick,

his wife was walking towards him but he stylishly steps out of the house, he entered his car,

"I have already offered you what will enable you to pay off your debt," says Maya, she walked down to the living room,

"Please don't jeopardize my children's happiness, let my children out of this," says Prince Patrick,

"let everything be, for now, I will be expecting your call soon," says Maya, and she ended the telephone conversation.

Prince Patrick's wife, Fakky stood beside the car waiting for her husband to come out of the car,

"Why are you here?" asked Prince Patrick,

"Please, tell me what transpires between you and Maya, tell me the truth," says Fakky,

"I don't suppose to hide anything from you since all these days, I put one of our companies on sales because I was owing huge debt in my bank, they are threaten to take over all my investments" explained Prince Patrick,

"How is it concern Mrs. Dakova?" says Fakky, he holds her husband's hand, and they entered their house, "this is a serious matter, we need to discuss it over and concluded today," says Fakky,

"Please, tell me everything that I need to know about your hidden agenda that's eating you like worms," says Fakky,

"Maya was my ex before I got married to you, and I love her so much, I didn't believe that she could leave me for another man, though, at that time, I was not serious with my life that time, I believe in my prince hood waiting to become a king forgotten that things had a change that without money, you can become a king, and when Maya met a man that came from abroad, she got married to him and I was furious and nearly ran mad before someone Introduced me to your father that made me who I am today, and some years later, they ran Into serious financial problems, and she came to me for help, but Instead of helping them, I made her life miserable by buying all their investment through bank auction sales,

"When did that happen?" Fakky asked

"Fifteen years ago, Maya and her husband William Dakova came to meet me in my office, they wants me to borrow them some money to pay off their debts, I refused to borrow them the money, two weeks later, they came again, they told me that the bank wants to auction their cable company and some of their properties, they begged me to come to their rescue, but I refused,

three weeks later bank puts the company on auction sales, I was the person that bought the cable company and some of their properties through bank auction sales, on the condition that the company's name will not be changed, but that was not all, they later sold one property out of their hidden properties, they want to use the money to buy a plastic industry, but I heard the news through a friend, I went behind them to buy the plastic industry when they got to the venue of the transaction, they were told, it has been sold out, Maya burst into tears, even William couldn't control his emotions,

Meanwhile, I was inside my car parked in the neighborhood of the transaction venue, they both entered their car, they drove back home with the sorrowful mind, but I didn't mind them, one month later, they made an underground investigation about the person that bought the plastic industry, they found out that I was the one that bought the plastic industry, they tried to find a small scale industry to buy, but none was found,

Three months later, Maya confronted me and told me, "I knew you are behind all these, but never mind, I will go far away from you because I got all your messages, but you will hear from me sooner or later," says Maya,

She was about to step out of his office, I holds her hand back, "do you want to kill me sooner or later?" asked Prince Patrick, still holding her hand, "I haven't done anything for you, I will make sure I frustrate you,

You called me a retched Prince, you left me for William because his parents live abroad," says Prince Patrick,

"Forget about the retched Prince that I called you, you knew why I called you a retched Prince, have you for one day serious with your life during our relationship," says Maya, tears rolling down her face,

"those days, you think, I won't have money, but today, I have gotten real money, he flaunts his three account balances and the cash. is in his vault inside his office,

"you think, I will leave you for that guy," says Prince Patrick, "haven't you gotten married to your heartthrob?" replied Maya.

" I married her because you leave me, but I still love you, I want you to come back to me,” Prince Patrick said,

“I can never leave my three children because we are having financial crises and come back to you because you are comfortable today, over to my dead body,” Maya said,

And she annoyingly left my office at that time, and I later heard that they have relocated abroad because, her husband was born and raised in America, but I don't know when they came back, and am seeing her for the first time after fifteen years,

“what does she want from you?“ Fakky asked,

“maybe revenge” Prince Patrick,

“Okay, opinion is that, sell the company for at any of her desired offers, don't argue with her, and promise her that our daughter will help her manage the company for a while, I think that will be better,” Fakky says, at least she wants her company back,” she says,

“Are you sure she will agree that?“ Prince Patrick asked,

“Try her because we can not jeopardize our daughter's happiness because of long-time mistakes that have happened between you,” Fakky says, “or do you want me to meet her personally?“ Fakky asked,

“There is no need for you to meet her because she is manipulating," Prince Patrick says," I call her on phone and you will be there, and If she refused, I will think of what to do next,” he says,

“Alright, I will be by side,” Fakky says, “but before you call her, let's seek the children's opinion and consents, maybe one of them may like his son, at least to solve the dispute once and for all and we will become family friends, after all, none of them have a serious relationship,” Fakky says,

“Marrying my daughter to her son is not a problem, but am thinking of the way I have treated badly before, and she knew all that I have done to befall her husband's business, will I survive the threats that are coming towards me?“ he asked and tears dripping down from his face,

“don't worry, we will apply wisdom, I will meet personally to have a dialogue with her and her husband,” Fakky says,

“I say, I don't want you to have any private discussions with her, let me handle the matters and I will be giving you feedback on each of our discussions,” Prince Patrick says,

“Do you have any hidden agenda aside from this problem of revenge and the recovery of her company, after, you bought the company on auction sales, It is supposed not to bring problems, and you have already put the company on sale, then sell the company for her let peace rain in our home, and he decided to marry our daughter, let it be, or you won't commit suicide on the matter that is solvable?” Fakky asked, “and there is another thing that transpires between two of you let me know on time, there are no problems without a solution?” Fakky says,

“I don't have any hidden agenda but I don't want my daughter to face any problems that she knows nothing about, I committed the sins to let me face the retributions,” Prince Patrick says, with tears dripping down her face,

“The only retributive justice she wants is to recover her company back because of the company's name and the trade mark, please, let her have her company back, after all, this punishing you for more than a decade, the cable company is not yielding money or profit, you have been pumping money to the company till you ran into bank debit, now you have many banks loan to pay, why don't you sell this company to Mrs. Maya Dakova to save other investments and our properties, remember, my father is no more” Fakky explained, “and If the children come, I will dialogue with them, at least one of them must safe us and the properties,” Fakky says,

“Okay, you can try your best to save us from the problems, though, I wouldn't like to sell the company to her, I prefer another person to buy the company,” Prince Patrick says,

“I can see that you are the problem of yourself, banks gave an ultimatum of three months, and you see someone that will buy the company cash and carry, and you still believe that another person will come and offer you twenty billion, alright, be waiting for the uncertainty that may lead us to everlasting poverty,” Fakjy says,

“Remember, there is no money or properties anywhere because all the properties I inherited from my father, I put all in your care, and If you mismanage them, I will never beg my siblings for help because every one of us was given properties equally,” Fakky says,

“Alright, I will talk to her,” Prince Patrick says,

“It is left for you, at least If the bank seizes all the properties, I have where to stay in my father's house,” Fakky says,
