MARRIED TO THE CONFUSED BILLIONAIRE 72. The Funeral 16
“Miss him indeed. I don't understand why my husband chose to organize a funeral for him, just to waste money for nothing.”Now, mama and her mate were through with the children and had joined the group. Then, Emma advised, “My daughter, I know how you feel. You have the best husband in the world. If he can forgive your father and decided to wipe any stigma that he had brought upon you and your siblings, I think you should be grateful for that.”Now, Ada saw reason with her husband and cheered up. She looked at him and appreciated for the first time by giving him a hug.“Thank you, hubby. I appreciate.”“You are welcome, my dear. I know it not easy.”Nevertheless, the youngsters were all over the compound, climbing trees and plucking fruits. The maid, who had been lonely in the midst of adults, felt free and guided them on their escapades.“Madam, the driver wished to leave. Where do I keep the goods?” Their driver asked. Then, Ada turned to her mother and requested, “Which room are yo

“Be careful with the water, please. Or we may go to the brook and get for ourselves if we exhaust it.”The children heard enough of 'be careful' that day, but they did not mind their mother. After they took their bath, they were famished, Cynthia strolled to her uncle's house for food. She assisted in preparing the food, and thereafter, ignorant of her mother's wish, she took their meal to their house. “Mom, dad, everyone, dinner is ready.” She called out after setting it on the dinner table. “Oh! Cynthia. We would have had our dinner at Uncle Emma's compound, instead of ruining here,” Ada pointed out. No one gave heed to her complaint. Thereafter, they had their dinner quietly and everyone was fine except Ada, who was apprehensive. Nevertheless, there is always a disadvantage to every advantage. Callum deserved to be appreciated by his wife in a special way, but she was mindful of the house and was unsettled. However, Callum must make her do it.“I'm exhausted,” he cried out, and

“Not at all. I came for my uncle's funeral.”“Hiss. Are you proud to call him your uncle? You have money to throw around,” Dora declared sarcastically. They laughed happily, and she continued, “Welcome back, all the same. How is your family?”“My family is good.” Now, Evans, was not happy when he saw Joe opened the gate, so, he walked out of the group while Sarah continued chatting with her relations.“Frank,” He called out. Frank, who was behind him, appeared at once. “Yes, uncle.” “Good. Arrange for someone to man that gate. The children cannot do that.”“I got it, uncle.” “Oh my God!” Sarah screamed. Now, Evans and Frank halted and looked at her. Evans had to walk back to her when he saw her looked on in trepidation, and Frank followed.“Oh!” Evans exclaimed when he saw the source of her fear.“Don't panic. It came to welcome the children to their maternal homes,” Emma pointed out. Now, Sarah had moved closer to her husband, and he encouraged her, “Calm down. It won't attack.”

“I have brought the gate men,” Frank announced when he got into the parlor. Now, Callum and his wife looked at Evans for his response, while Sarah fixed her gaze on Frank.“Men?” Evans asked anxiously.“Yes, uncle. They insisted on working. We will choose the best.”“What are they for?” Callum asked.“I need someone to man the gate. The children cannot be opening and closing the gate.”“Oh! That is thoughtful of you. In that case, they can run different shifts. How many are they, Frank?”“They are ten.”“Ten is not too many. Turning them back may be humiliating,” Callum made clear.“Why did you allow them to come with you when you were asked to come with just one person?” Ada rebuked.“I wonder,” Sarah supported.“Don't let that bother us. It is just for a few days. They can start at once,” Evans remarked.“All right, uncle. What about the pay? How much do I offer them?” Frank inquired, ignoring her aunt's question.“Find out what they would love to be paid from them.”“All right, unc

76 The Funeral 20“Welcome back, aunty,” the youngsters greeted happily, one after the other.“Thank you. How are you?” “We are fine. And you?”“Fine, thank you.”At that point, the children embraced one another and walked back to Callum's apartment, while Uju joined her sisters at Evans' apartment. While they were chatting freely, Fredrick supervised his Personal Assistant, Barry, and the drivers as they moved their luggage to his apartment. When he was certain that they had arranged the house to an acceptable extent, he walked to the bathroom and showered. Nevertheless, when Austin and David felt that they had spent longer time with Joe and the rest, they excused themselves.“We will be on our way. Mom and dad may be waiting for us,” Austin explained.The youngsters interpreted the explanation differently and walked them to their father's car.“Where are dad and mom?” David asked when they got to the car and met it locked.“They may be in the house,” Joe explained, and walked toward

Then, Oliver, who also heard the driver honk, got off the gatehouse and opened the gate. To his dismay, he saw the next set of security guards on duty, Boniface and Thomas, walking away briskly. Meanwhile, two police vans were behind Barry's car. The driver drove in and Oliver locked the gate, leaving the two police vehicles outside.“Welcome Sir,” he greeted. “Thank you, Oliver,” Barry responded. Then, Oliver watched the driver parked and Barry got off followed by a Police Officer, who was neatly dressed in his police uniform, and in his late thirties. Barry led him to Evans' apartment for an introduction. Nevertheless, the District Police Officer, DPO, was over the moon when he got an instruction from the IGP to deploy his men to Evans' house. He saw the task as a ticket to his promotion, and he must do it well.“It is nice to have you, DPO.” Evans and his co-in-laws greeted one after the other.“Thank you Sirs. I'm honored to be of assistance.”Afterward, they took him to Uncle Em

At the GateAfter Barry lectured Oliver on how to relate with the police men, he left for his room while Oliver admired his new bike. Suddenly, he heard a knock at the gate and ran out of the gatehouse.“May I know you, please?” He requested.“It's me. Kindly open the gate.”'Oh! Frank.' he exclaimed. He opened the gate and he walked in.“Good morning, Frank,” he greeted cheerfully.“Good morning, Oliver. Are you still here? Where are the people on duty?”“Yes. I'm still here.” He responded and gave him a detailed report on what took place at night.“Is that why the police men are here?”“Yes. Mr. Barry brought them a few minutes ago.”“That is good. Peter must be a bad influence. He must have given them a perverted view of how left.”“You are right. They asked for the pay as if it was their right.”“It's okay. They have ruined other people's chances,” Frank concluded and walked to the main house.At Uncle Emma's HutUncle Emma, Dickson, and Callum listened attentively to their compla

“Who owns it?” Austin inquired.“It belongs to Oliver,” Barry declared. Then, Oliver walked out of his room and saw the youngsters admiring his bike.“Your bike is fine, Oliver,” they commended.“Thank you for the compliment, David and Austin.” Thereafter, Austin and David left for their cousins' apartment.“I need to get some toiletries from the local market, Mr. Barry,” Oliver requested. Barry, who understood the meaning of the sudden outing, teased, “And to ostentatiously display your new bike.”The drivers around laughed heartily, and Oliver looked down shyly. He understood what Barry meant. Although, he needed the items, but flaunting his new bike was not out of it.“I will be back, before you know it,” he promised.“It is all right. Be cautious.”“I will.”At the Village Square.The four youths walked happily on the road while Peter nursed his lost. The joy of redeeming their reputation before Emma and his in-law could not be overemphasized. As for Peter, he was aware that he h

At the General Manager's HouseAfter Moses' was settled, and Tony satiated with accomplishment, he had the problem of informing his wife of his encounter with Moses. He recalled their first night, and how she cried when he mentioned Bruno. Breaking such news to her would get her worked up, and remind her that she lived with an animal for several years. However, he had no choice but to make their meeting known to her.“What if she finds out on her own?” He reasoned, and braced up. That night, after they had their dinner, and ensured that the twins were settled in their room with Susan's mother, he broached the topic.“What!” Susan exclaimed, after listening to his narration.“It's unfortunate,” he added, and monitored her countenance. To his expectation, she was sad, but he could not decipher her reason for that. After a few seconds of awkward silence, she asked, “What is the boy doing currently?” Although, he was uncertain about her reasons for asking, but her tone expressed genuine co

The Next DayAfter the meeting of the previous day, Silas contacted Cyprian and Moses, and they were very excited to hear from the organization. Meanwhile, they promised to be available for a meeting at an agreed time. Nevertheless, they were nervous because they were unsure of what to expect. To their chagrin, when they arrived, Silas led them to the tenth floor, but to another office that had a strong security system. Instantly, Mr. Huntington gave Silas an inquiry look when he saw the Group Managing Director inscription on the lintel of the office. Likewise, Silas was expressionless, which was difficult for him to discern.“After you,” he announced after he opened the door, and held it for them to walk in.“Thank you, for this, Mr. Jack,” he appreciated, and they walked in. Soon, they were in an office that could be mistaken for the office of the President of a Nation. Apart from Tony, they saw two unfamiliar faces. All the same, they were encouraged by the welcoming smile on their

At the HotelAfter they collected, the drugs, they gave Silas their contacts, and returned to the hotel fulfilled. To the Hotel Manager's expectations, Moses was elated. Although, he could not meet his biological father, who he would have loved to kill, but he was happy that he met someone who succored him.“Ensure that you don't disappoint the doctor by taking your drugs as he prescribed. Did you get me?” Cyprian advised.“I got you, Sir,” he responded happily. When the manager noticed that, he teased, “Do you still wished to see your father?”He fixed his eyes on him, and waited for his response. Meanwhile, Moses furrowed his brow in annoyance, and answered, “I have seen my father.” Cyprian smiled happily and confirmed, “I love that. Let's wait for the results of the test by the doctor.”“Okay, boss. Permit me to ask, what was the reason for the test? Do I look sick?”Nevertheless, the question took Cyprian unawares, but he concealed it, “I think you are. Especially when he discover

Presently, Moses was eager to see his supposed father and unleash his fury on him. He watched the adults discuss, but smiled inwardly when he heard Silas mistook him for the Hotel Manager's son, and waited for feedback.“In the office?” Tony asked. He could not remember anyone with such a name or inviting someone to the office. Nevertheless, as a family man, who just hosted many relations during the Thanksgiving, he reasoned that the man and his son could be members of his extended family or Susan's, who needed assistance.“Come with them,” Tony responded, and Silas agreed. He turned and looked at the excited guests, and ordered, “Submit your phones and come with me.”“Noted Sir,” the guests complied while Silas turned to his order, who had joined them after parking the car, and instructed, “Get the shuttle bus.”“Okay, boss,” he responded, and walked briskly out of the office. In a short while, the team was in the General Manager's office. Likewise, Cyprian appreciated the respect th

“I hope this mail would get to him,” he murmured. To ensure that Moses was stable, he sent for him, and informed him of the progress that he had made so far. The understanding that someone was interested in his matter, cheered him up, and he was grateful, “I appreciate your efforts, sir.”“Don't mention. Let's wait for three working days, as the automatic message said. If we don't hear from him, we will have no choice, but to pay him a visit.”“It is all right, Sir. Thank you for your concern.”“You are welcome.”Afterward, Moses left, and returned to his work.Three Days Later.Now, the Manager was more anxious than Moses. Curiously, he wished to get to the bottom of the publication, which could be misleading if Tony had a child somewhere previously while the publication said that he just welcomed his first babies. Nevertheless, he got a response, and was glad at the progress, “At least, they responded,” he mumbled. Meanwhile, he was able to get the email address of the General Manag

“Wait. I need to get his approval,” the security guard informed. Now, Susan's colleagues were more in number. They were aware of her pregnancy, but never attributed it to the General Manager. Likewise, it was difficult for the GMD and his wife to get out of the reception, but Silas was able to make a way for them. Not only that, Cyril was also trapped in the crowd. He could not even get close to the security guards and explain himself.At the Hotel.Since the day Bruno left the company almost two years ago, he had suffered much humiliation. Despite the ejection from his house by Felix, and Ella subjecting him to queue up like her clients, before he could sleep with her, running into a transformed Cyril as a taxi driver, was the worst humiliation he had received so far. Nevertheless, after he discharged his passenger, he got the day's paper and returned to the hotel. He did not have the zeal to continue to work, so he took a break, to brood over the epiphany he had that day.“How can t

Cyril got to the General Manager's house in high spirit, and walked in. To his dismay, the main house was locked, and the three male domestic staff members were unaware of the good news. After the greetings, he inquired, “Has the boss left for work?”“No. He left the house last night with his family,” one of them explained.“I see,” he replied, and walked back to his car, and did not bother to discuss the delivery with them.“What must have happened to Mr. Angus? Is he a taxi driver? I doubt, but he looks tattered and emaciated,” he mulled over his encounter with his former as he drove to the Industrial Area.At the ClinicAfter Tony sent the message to the Group General Manager, he sent messages to his parents, and relations, before he settled down, and chatted happily with the doctor. Meanwhile, the doctor had sent a message to his wife, and she could not contain her joy. Suddenly, the doctor's door opened, and his wife walked in. Likewise, she lit up the office with her compliment

At the Delivery RoomHowbeit, Susan was lying on the delivery bed, and was smiling happily. She could imagine how her husband, who had given up on being a father, would feel. “Hubby, it's a set of twins, boys,” Susan announced as soon as her husband walked in. Nevertheless, the excited Tony could not hold back at that point. He allowed the tears of joy that had gathered in his eyes to drop freely. Likewise, he walked to his wife and kissed her temple. Then, he appreciated, “Thank you for making me a father.” Likewise, Susan squeezed his hand, and responded, “Congratulations to us, my hero.”Subsequently, he walked to the babies' cots, and admired the cute babies, “Welcome my precious babies. I love you so much,” he assured, and held their tiny hands with his two hands at once. Presently, he was livelier, and had dried his tears. Then, he joyously took some shots of the babies with his phone.“Let's allow her to take a rest,” the doctor advised. Tony took another look at his wife, who

Likewise, Alice was excited, and summarized her task. She walked to the new house, and saw the work.“Wow!” She exclaimed, and ran back to the house. Uncle Emma was surprised to see her running back, and he inquired, “Why are you running back? Is the task too much for you?”“I wish to put on a pair of trousers,” she explained and ran into the house. She walked out shortly, after she had dressed in her jean trousers, and a pair of canvas. Then, Uncle Emma smiled with satisfaction when he realized that she was still humble and had not been influenced by the life on the campus.At the New BuildingWhile the work was going on, the youths, who were outside the gate, were disappointed. Although, Shane and Collins were not certain, but they believed that the person in charge was Oliver, but they could not defend it because everyone believed that he was dead. Now, Shane cast his mind on that night that they worked as security guards at the compound, and was ashamed of himself.“What is diffic
