CHAPTER 5
Ryan remembered he had not seen Mrs Williams in about a week. On a normal day she would be seen in the kitchen getting something from the fridge every three days.Her own room was ensuite.She had her own kitchen, bedroom and washroom.So Mrs Williams came out only when she needed something.She had her own part of the mansionMrs Williams despised Ryan so he was not allowed on the woman's side of the mansion. Only the Williams sisters had the authority and permission to go there anytime they wished.Ryan knew the woman did not like him just like her daughters but he was worried as to why he had not seen her for a long time.He knew if he got to the woman's side of the mansion it was going to land him in trouble so he dared not , but after much contemplation he set off.He took courage and went to the woman's side of the mansion. He walked to the door and gently knocked on the door. There was no response, he knocked again and there was no response.He turned around to leave but he heard a very faint voice from inside. “ Come inside it's not not locked ” , the voice cameRyan pushed the door gently and peeped, he could not see anyone , he entered the room and saw the woman lying on her bed.Ryan thought she was going to shout at him or ask him to leave. But the woman kept calm. Ryan quickly scanned the room.He noticed some dirty plates in the kitchen sink, some dirty clothes in the laundry basket and a bad smell coming from the washroom.He noticed the woman's face was pale and he guessed all was not well.He guessed there was something wrong with the woman.He got closer to her and greeted her politely..The woman only nodded.“ Johnson please I'm not feeling well, I have had a terrible headache and back pain for about three days now and my daughter's have not been here for about four days, pls help me”. The woman pleaded in an almost inaudible voice.Ryan quickly took his phone and dialed the emergency number. He directed the ambulance to the house and assured Mrs Williams everything would be fine .He quickly exited the room and went downstairs to inform the Williams sisters about their mother's condition. The girls were nowhere to be found in the living room.When he got out he noticed they had gone out with Adriana's Lamborghini.Ryan took out his phone and dialed Alicia's number but she did not pick up. He dialed Geraldine's and the response was the same .He dialed Adriana's and the result was still the same..He dialed repeatedly and there was still no answer. Ryan was wondering what was going on.Ryan stood at the gate still calling the Williams sisters when he saw the siren approaching.He quickly opened the gate and within a few seconds the ambulance entered at top speed.They came out with their stretcher and Ryan signaled them to follow him and they did .He quickly went to the woman's room with the nurses closely behind him. Minutes later, Mrs Williams could be seen on the stretcher being wheeled into the ambulance .Ryan joined the ambulance and they sped off taking the road to the hospital****†***The three ladies after much enjoyment decided to take a ride in Adriana's new car.Alicia shouted Ryan's name but got no response, she shouted again this time louder than the first and still didn't get an answer.She hissed and signaled to her sisters that they should leave .Geraldine took the remote to open the gate while Adriana went to start the car and drove out in reverse.She stopped outside the house to wait for her sisters.She set a hip hop song playing through the car's tape and played it at maximum volume.The two ladies joined her and she drove off at top speed leaving a cloud of dust on their trail.The three ladies went to a restaurant and had lunch. They enjoyed themselves and drank heavily.They then went to a night club and enjoyed themselves.They drove back home late in the night all boozed.When they got back to the gate of the house, Adriana honked severally but no one came to open the gate. Geraldine got down from the and staggered towards the gate.She sluggishly opened the gate and Adriana drove in.Adriana parked in and the the three girls who were not conscious if their environment staggered to the living roomAlicia wondered why the lights were out, nevertheless she switched it on and they all went into the roomThey sank into the sofa and nobody knew when they dozed off****†****The driver of the ambulance sped off at top speed and they headed to the hospital while Mrs Williams was given first aid treatment in the ambulance.On arrival at the hospital, the nurse wheeled out Mrs Williams and rushed her to the emergency ward. Ryan was not allowed in so he stood at the entrance of the emergency ward pacing up and down.She called the Williams sisters again but there was still no response from any of them.After about two hours of moving up and down he saw the doctor emerge from the emergency ward. Ryan tried to read the doctor's face any expression but there was none.He ran up to meet him and asked“ How is she? What happened to her? Is there anything I can do to help?” asked all questions at once“ Easy young man, first of all she is fine and is responding to treatment. For your second question, I guess she had a headache from too much thinking, she was anxious, and she fell down and bumped her head. She did not act fast because I could see the place was swelled up. But once again she is okay and stable now” the doctor replied calmlyCHAPTER 6The doctor explained Mrs williams’ situation to Ryan calmly.Ryan heaved a sigh of relief“ She will be transferred from the emergency ward to the female ward very soon as she is stable now,” the doctor added.Ryan nodded and the doctor left.A nurse approached Ryan and asked for the details of Mrs Williams, Ryan provided her with the details and that of himself.In about half an hour Mrs Williams was transferred to the female ward.Ryan stayed beside her in a chair until he slept off from tiredness.Around 3am the next day, Ryan was awakened by a noise he heard. He opened his eyes to see Mrs Williams awake and looking at him.“ Johnson, thank you for helping, you saved my life. I think it's morning now, you should go home and do your chores. My car key is in front of my dressing mirror, pls cook something and come with the car, `` the woman said in an appreciative tone.Ryan was surprised by the way the woman spoke to him. On a normal day he would have spoken to him harshly
CHAPTER 7Ryan got to the hospital and went to Mrs Williams ward.She was being attended to by the nurse.When the nurse was done with her work she left them, Ryan opened the lunch bag and brought out the food. Mrs Williams signaled him to stop.“ Johnson I haven't seen any of my children in a while, where have they been and why have they not been here yet? ” Mrs Williams inquired.Ryan heaved a heavy sigh“ ma'am they are all fine and they are at home, they were when we were bringing you here yesterday and they were asleep when I was coming here. They don't know yet that you are admitted here, they went out in Adriana's new… ” Ryan, who realized he was going too far, stopped talking.Mrs Williams raised an eyebrow “new what?!!!” Mrs Williams asked Ryan knew he had already been heard so he had no option than to say the truth“ Well Adriana has a new car, the Lamborghini Aventador, she brought it home yesterday and her sisters joined her out. ”Mrs Williams frowned “New car? Who bough
CHAPTER 8Ryan left the ward and went to the hospital’s garage to take Mrs Williams' car. He drove through the gates and headed home.There was no traffic on the road so he reached home in no time. He quickly parked the car and set off to clean up the house.It was a very tiring work as the whole house was in a mess. *****†*****Mrs Williams was laying on her bed, Geraldine was beside her and Adriana was sitting on the edge of the bed.Alicia had gone out to talk to Ryan. Within a few minutes she came back in and stood beside Geraldine.The woman asked her daughters to help her sit and they did. She now sat in the bed with her back resting against the headrest.She spoke to them in a questioning manner.“ Now can any of you tell me why Ryan has grown so lean and bony, I know we are not on good terms with him but he looks very bad. What did you three do to him? ”The woman askedThe three girls stared at her shamefully, Alicia was thinking seriously“ What did Ryan tell her? How do I
CHÀPTER 9Mrs Williams paused for a minute and silence engulfed the room.Footsteps could be heard approaching the ward. Mrs Williams heaved and was about to speak when a knock came on the door. A nurse entered after they asked her to come in.She asked to see one of them outside and Alicia followed her out. After they got out Mrs Williams continued her interrogation.“ Now answer me Adriana, who is this man in question?. ”“ He is the son of the multimillionaire business Mogul Mr Andrews Wilson.” Adriana said.Mrs Williams opened her mouth in shock.She adjusted her sitting position and.At that moment Alicia entered. She noticed the look on her mother's face She looked at Adriana and then Geraldine, the look on her face carried a question ‘ what's wrong’.Mrs Williams ignored her and asked Adriana“ How did you come across him? Don't you know the Wilson family are our deepest rivals? How listen t
CHAPTER 10Adriana passed out from college as a medical doctor. Her father told her not to look for a job because he was going to make her the head of the largest hospital in the country with his connections.Unfortunately for Adriana, a few months after her completion from the medical college, her father passed on. Adriana also resorted to staying home with her older sisters. The two older siblings brainwashed her that she was too big to look for a job. She joined them in squandering their father's money and maltreating ryan.…. … .. Because Mr Edwards had no one to help run the business, it took a heavy toll on him. His health began to deteriorate gradually and after some years he passed on.The Wilson family took advantage of Mr Edward's demise to overtake the Williams family to become the richest family in the country within a year.Surprisingly, the Wilson dropped to the sixth richest family When Mrs Williams saw that
CHAPTER 11Ryan completed his work and was about to enter his room when he heard a car honk at the gate.He knew it was the Williams sisters so he quickly descended the stairs and went to open the gate.Geraldine drove in and parked the car.All three sisters came out of the car.Ryan noticed Adriana was moody and her two sisters were all quiet. He could not decipher what was wrong with them and he knew he could not ask.The three ladies all went to their rooms.Ryan shrugged and went to his own room too.Minutes later Ryan came out of his room looking clean and in a neat dress.He went to the dining table and found out that the lunch he cooked was still untouched.He stared for sometime and entered the kitchen.He dished out some food for himself and ate.After he was done he dished some into a plastic bowl and covered it.He put the food in a lunch bag and headed out.He went to the garage and drove Mrs Williams' car to the hospital.When he got to the hospital, the visiting time wa
CHAPTER 12 Ryan woke up the next day tired as always. In his bed he could see the sun rays penetrating his room through the open curtains. He stretched for a minute, stood up and entered the washroom. He came out a few minutes later with a towel in his hand. He hung the towel on the towel stand, removed his pajamas and wore a pair of shorts and a blue lacoste.. He went downstairs to start his daily chores as usual. He had a little work to do as he had done the most important part the previous day. Within an hour he was done with his work. He drove to the hospital to deliver breakfast to Mrs Williams and also check up on her.. When he came back from the hospital, he heard voices in the living room.. He got in there to see the Williams sisters chatting happily there. He greeted them and headed to his room, he heard chuckles behind him but he never bothered to look back because he was used to it. He took out his phone and saw a text message from ‘MADAM ROSELYN ’ It was a lo
CHAPTER 13Ryan finished dressing up in formal wear.A white long sleeved shirt and a pair of black trousers with a black shoe.He looked at himself in the mirror and smiled .He picked up his phone and looked at the time, it was half past twelve.He held his phone and went downstairs.The living room was deserted. Alicia's phone was on the couch in the living room. Ryan thought she must have left in anger.He shook his head and headed out.Getting out of the compound he noticed that Geraldine's car was not parked at its usual spot.He just ignored it and went his way shaking his head.The moment he stepped out of the compound, he saw the cab driver approaching him.He signaled him to pull over and the cab driver parked right beside him .Ryan entered the car and the driver greeted him politely and asked him if his destination.“ ROCHEAT restaurant ”. Ryan said.“ Okay sir”. The driver replied while inputting the location on his tablet bound firmly on the car's dashboard.After he was
THE MASSIVE TURNAROUND Ryan lay on his bed, his mind racing with thoughts. He couldn't believe what he had just heard from Mrs. Williams. It was as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He was finally free from the shackles of the Williams family. Ryan lay on his bed with a smile on his face. He was happy about the conversation he had just had with Mrs Williams. He felt like he was out of the prison he had been put in. Now, all he needed to do was wait for a day or two before he told them that he had gotten a new job. It seemed that everything was working out in his favour at the moment, and he was just happy about it. He now had the kind of freedom he was waiting for. Free from Alicia’s taunting and shouting, a smile briefed across his lips as he thought about that. He planned on leaving the house very soon to face his own life. He took his phone and began browsing. He was in the process of finding the real truth about his real identity and how he ended u
CHAPTER 20Ryan quickly walked back to Mrs Williams' place.He knocked on the door gently." Come in," Mrs Williams responded from inside.Ryan opened the door gently and walked in.Mrs Williams looked at him."Please sit down on the couch, I'll join you soon."Mrs Williams said and pointed to the couch.Ryan nodded and motioned towards it.He sat on it, quite nervous.Mrs Williams stood up and walked to the place where she had directed Ryan. She sat on a couch opposite Ryan and heaved a heavy sigh." Alicia and Adriana, are they back yet?" She asked as she sat down.Ryan shook his head in the negative." Alright, I need to tell you something…." Mrs Williams said and pausedRyan noticed her countenance change.She looked worried and down spirited." Well, firstly, I want to thank you for helping me. You actually saved me. Thank you for that.." Mrs Williams paused and looked at Ryan.She bowed down her head and heaved a sigh.Ryan looked at her quietly, waiting for her to resume.He k
CHAPTER 19Reuben shrugged and went to the kitchen.He sat off to prepare lunch for himself, Geraldine, and Mrs Williams. In about an hour, he was done with the food.He dished out some of the food Onto a plate and served it on a serving tray.He left the kitchen and carried the tray to Mrs Williams' side of the mansion.He knocked on her door." Come in, Johnson," Mrs Williams said from inside the room .Ryan opened the door and slowly entered.Mrs Williams was sitting on her bed with her phone in her hand.She looked at Ryan as he walked towards her with the plate of food on a tray in his hand." Please serve it on my dining table, I'll be there," Mrs Williams said and signaled Ryan towards the dining side.Ryan nodded and turned to the dining area.He dropped the tray on the dining table and went to Mrs Williams' kitchen.He got a glass of water and a glass of fruit juice and came back to the dining room.Mrs Williams was already coming towards the dining table..Ryan slowly drop
CHAPTER 18Ryan took the drugs from the nurse, forcing a smile on his face." Alright, sir, that is all. Her belongings are all in that bag there, so you can go now," the nurse said, pointing at the bag.Ryan nodded and picked up the bag.Mrs Williams stood up from the bed.She waved goodbye to the nurse with a smile The nurse waved back and smiled." Goodbye, Mrs Williams. Please do well to take your medications, and you will be fine," the nurse said." Thank you, nurse. I will surely see you later. Thank you, " Mrs Williams replied as she made her way out of the ward.Ryan took the bag and slowly walked out of the ward, followed by Mrs Williams, then the nurse, who stretched the bed cover at the side where Mrs Williams was sitting.Ryan led the way to the garage with the luggage in his hand, while Mrs Williams slowly followed him.They got to the garage, Reuben quickly opened the back door from Mrs Williams to sit down, then he opened the car's trunk and put in the luggage.He c
CHAPTER 17Ryan sat on the bed with a smile on his face.He laid his back on the bed and heaved a sigh.His mind wandered in dreamland, thinking about the job he was soon going to acquire.As he lay there thinking, his phone beeped, and the doorbell rang at the same time.He took his phone and viewed the message, it was from the delivery man " I've arrived sir".Ryan wore his sandals and went out of his room.He jogged down the stairs as he hurried out.Getting to the living room, he saw that the Williams sisters were not in the living room. Instead, the leftover food in their packs were left on the center table in the living room.He shook his head and left the living room and out of the compound.The delivery man was ready at the gate with the pack of food in his hand. Ryan took the food from him and thanked him.He closed the door and went back to his room, dropped the food, and went back to the living room.He cleaned up the mess the Williams sisters made and went back to his ro
CHAPTER 16Ryan unconsciously fell asleep on the bed in his smile. He was woken up a few minutes later by the sound of the doorbell. He woke up, picked up his phone, and glanced at the time. It had been 23 minutes since he had slept .He guessed the doorbell might have been that of the delivery man who was supposed to deliver the food for the Williams sisters.“ They will go get him. ” He said as he laid back on the bed. He took his phone again and realized he still had an unread message.He opened it, and it was a credit alert of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) to his old account.The creditor was ROSELYN CHUKS, and it had an additional message ‘ Thank you for helping me with my car the other day’Ryan jerked up and sat up on the bed.He glanced at the phone screen in shock." whoah, I ain't dreaming right." Reuben exclaimed as he glanced at the screen.He logged into his old bank app and checked his account, and truly, the fifty thousand dollars had reflected in his account.He qui
CHAPTER 15“ Are you okay with it? ” Madam Roselyn repeated her question. Ryan came to his senses.“Yes, yes, madam. I would be very glad and grateful ” Ryan replied happily“Alright then, you resume next week Monday ” She said as she pulled over in front of the hospital.“ Thank you very much, madam. I'm very grateful. I won't disappoint you. ” Ryan said joyously. Madam Roselyn nodded and smiled.“ Thank you for the lunch ma'am ” Ryan said and waved her goodbye.“ You are welcome ” Madam Roselyn said as she waved back. Ryan got down from the car , closed the door, and waved again at Madam Roselyn.Madam Roselyn waved back and drove off.Ryan entered the hospital with a big smile on his face.He was overjoyed that he was going to get a job. At least he would not have to depend on the Williams family. So he thought. However, his joy was short-lived when he realized that the Williams family were going to be a stumbling block.He pondered over it for a while as he headed to Mrs Willi
CHAPTER 14Madam Roselyn smiled back“ So tell me, how were you able to know so much about this car? You know it's a new model and was released just a few weeks ago..Only a mechanic specialized in such cars can repair it. How come you were able to repair so quickly with ease? Are you a mechanic? ”Madam Roselyn asked RyanRyan shook his head in the negative.“ Well, I'm not a mechanic. But I'm learning to he one ” Ryan replied“ So where is your shop located” she asked“Sorry ma'am, I am not learning it physicallyI learned it onlineI have an online course for that”Ryan replied, smilingMadam looked at Ryan with her eyebrows raised.
