Two Weeks after, My uncle brought words to me that his friend had been found and brought home for questioning, he wanted me present and what other way than to witness how much fury he has left for his friend to have almost duped us ."Mr. Corey, good evening sir". Kent addressed me, a man old enough to be my father was driven with horrific ideas or thoughts I can sense that my uncle had a hand in.."Nephew, I called you here so we could talk like gentlemen?". He offered me a chair, as his friend kept on ogling at my face."Nice, so what is it?". I opened the floor for questioning...My uncle looked at his friend, with the same expression on their faces , maybe they were thinking I have come to ripe out their hearts and drink their Blood.."So! Don't keep me waiting " I slammed the table, attaining back their attention .My uncle started off my apologizing for what happened and then once again promised to make it up to me, he said a lot of things but there was nothing in it that
The following day, I woke up from bed and the first thing I got as a morning present was the judgemental eyes of my mother, looking at her, she must've done heard what happened, Jason might've told her or better yet my uncle. "How could you do that!!". She Started by judging me. "Do what? I'm sorry, what do you mean?". I pulled the blankets away, getting my feets down from the bed.."Wow! You want to pretend that you don't know?". She stopped me from leaving for the bathroom after I had grabbed my towel from the wardrobe.."What do you want me to say; when he started everything". I put the blame on my uncle , because if he hadn't assured me about the genuineness of his friend, all this drama would have not happened. "Oh! So shooting him makes it even?". She pulled the towel away, slapping it on the bed..My mom was definitely not going to let out, she'd talk and kept on the same drama till my ears bleed.."Fine, I'm sorry, Jason has reprimanded me and now I apologize, I'm sor
Muna dragged me all the way to Jason's house just to talk to her friend, she had a lot of questions even Jason wouldn't be able to control himself from answering..We left them talking and managed to get lost in the game room. Jason already had eyes for good football games, his more of a football person whereas I love getting the action live.."So, when do you Intend to marry Lucia?"..I waited for the maids to leave before asking him that question ..The eyes in Jason's eye's had already becoming distant and somehow afraid of either getting married or there's something he hasn't yet told me. ."I want to but I don't know how to tell her"..He confirmed to me that he was feeling shy and not knowing what to say. "Damn! Why can't you, it's simple, show are how you really feel and I can remember Muna telling me about her birthday coming up in three days". I advised my friend and also gave him a clue. He nodded interested and then Wanted me to sort the help of my wife in getting Luci
Mom sort Jason's help in taking care of the situation because I wasn't yet In the right frame of mind to actually say or Act on any decisions. "Baby, please, stop". Muna walked into the room and met me sitting in a corner , my hands and legs tied against each other. I wasn't myself and wasn't going to be for a long time, at least after I find out who did that to my warehouse.."Stop, allow me sit here for a while". I said, gently pulling her hand away from grappling my shoulder.However, Muna as stubborn as always forbade me from sitting down on my own in piece, as she spreads a huge blanket on the ground and sat down on the ground with me .She wouldn't leave me alone even after I had begged her too, Muna was so adamant in saying by my side making sure I wouldn't do anything stupid at the end.."Hey! Do you want to go for a work?"..I asked her, since she wasn't willing to go away from my side anytime soon..."Yeah! Let's go". She agreed but we only left after Sara came to the ro
I went the following day and I met my dad at the prison ,he had an orange jump suit in and he looked a bit sickly and weak, don't they feed them in the prison? ."Oh my god! Corey is that you?"..He was brought to us the waiting room by a guard, who handcuffed one of his hand to the table, treating him like a common criminal."Yes, This is our son, Corey"...Mom placed her hand on my shoulder, gently breaking the bones in my body..I was too overwhelmed to say anything, even after mom had given me the opportunity to say to my old man, someone I was made to be believe was dead for so many years "Corey.... How are you my son". Dad extended his hand, touching me on the cheeks, the one that wasn't handcuffed to the table. "I'm good, how are you?". I asked him back the same question, the news was yet to overwhelming for me...Dad saw that and doesn't say anything much, his loving eyes were just as I remembered growing up as a child, however, he's now old and a little bit unfit for his
The following day was the preparation for Lucia's birthday and her secret engagement party..Muna had gone to keep her occupied throughout the Day and what other way to keep them busy than shopping ."We have to make tonight perfect". Jason was telling the party planner when I walked by them, and was headed to the bench at the back of his Mansion.."Corey, is everything okay? Are you fine?" He came out later and found me talking to myself... Elijah is definitely in love with my wife, however she's too gullible to even see what's right in front of her eyes.."No, I think someone else is in love with my wife," I opened up to him about was bothering me. "Someone is inlove with Muna, are you drunk?"..Jason titled down his head a little bit just to properly able to see my face."No! His name is Elijah and he owns an orphanage home, Muna took somethings over there and he wouldn't stop looking at her". I folded my hand into a fit, aiming at picture of his face inside my head. ."Damn!
Muna and I was home from Jason's celebration party and she wouldn't stop talking about the about and how much she would have wanted an engagement as beautiful and romantic as Jason planned his to her. This was her telling me what she needed and it was left for I to take the initiative by making her dream's come through by giving her an extravagant proposal party.."Goodnight, Muna". I kissed her on the lips and approached heading to the bed."Hey, can I talk to you!". She said, jumping in bed with me, I turned and patiently waited for her to start talking.Muna apologized for what happened with Elijah, admitting that she had no interest in him and neither did she know that he had a special interest in her as well ."Oh! It's all good, I trust you". I caressed my hand on her face and said. She looked kinda stunned by my response and honestly I was too, I would admit that I was upset with her for leaving the party and going out to meet Elijah at a secluded area, what if something
I went on a jog the next Day but before leaving Jason called me on the phone, informing me about his journey with the lawyer to dad's jail, promising to bring back goodnews.."Good morning" I had just returned from my morning jog when I met mom and munory coming down the stairs, he was already dressed and ready to leave with his mom to his grandparents house. " Baby, are you sure you don't want to come?"Muna rubbed her hand on my face, slowly caressing it after Mom had taken munory to the car.."Yes, go and don't worry about me". I pulled her hands and walked her to the car. She kissed me on the lips and then got into the car, mom placed Munory in her arms and waved at them as the car left the mansion.."Son! We need to talk" Mom went back inside, her face became serious as if I had done something wrong.."What is the problem, is everything okay?" I asked her, watching her sat down on the couch, she placed one hand on her face and said, " no! Because I got news about what did h
