Chapter 7

Edwin took out a golden bank card from his purse, with the word ‘Emily’ written in black on the background. He held it low in his hands.

“Young master, this is a special card made by our Portland conglomerate. All expenses under the conglomerate are free. There’s also a credit limit of 1 billion dollars and the password is your birthday.”

“Please use it first.”

Andre hesitated a bit before taking the card.

“What about my mother?” Andre asked.

“Madam is fine and hoping to see you face to face someday,” Edwin answered as he lowered his head.

There was a short silence before Andre finally spoke.

“Tell my mother not to worry about me. Tell her to fix a convenient day for us to eat within the range of next week.”

“Yes, yes master,” Edwin replied as he watched Andre walk away, then stopped a taxi.

Edwin knew his madam would rejoice greatly upon hearing his son's request.

~~~

Getting in the taxi, Andre breathed a sigh of relief.

17 years of hardship of hardship had passed and it was time to make a change.

First, he needed to fix his appearance and get some clothes.

He apprised the taxi driver of his intended location

and he was driven there.

Arriving at a clothing store, Andre stood confidently watching his reflection from the glass door, his eyes shielding some thoughts.

He sauntered with a bright smile crawling on his oval face.

The sales attendant rushed over to his side with a smiles on her face. “You’re welcome to Fenti stores.”

“This way sir.” She gestured.

Sophia! Andre read from the tag on the sales attendant chest.

“Sir, what would you like to get from us?”

“Clothes and shoes!” Andre chimed.

Andre walked gently after the lady, answering her questions.

“What brands, sir?”

“Louis, Armani, Gucci, Adidas, yes, and any expensive brand.”

The lady nodded and led Andre to a section where expensive brands were displayed.

Andre took his time to select the clothes of his choice, before walking out of the section. He bumped into Yvonne and Willow Smith on his way to the payment section.

“Look who we have here,” Yvonne let out a taunting cry. “A pathetic ex-husband.”

Andre ignored her, finding his way out of her sight when he was roughly pushed back. She tried to demean him but the words hitched in her throat after meeting Andre’s pair of glaring eyes.

She changed her words. “What are you doing here? Are you stalking me?” She rolled her eyes on him.

Andre ignored her as if she were a non-existent variable and strolled away.

Yvonne didn’t stop at that as she chased him down to the cashier's desk.

“Oh, you saw the spree online that I was goin' to shop my wedding dress, and you rushed down here to stalk me?”

Yvonne became irritated and pissed when Andre ignored her. How dare a mere scumbag like him ignored her?

“Yvonne, you should leave that good-for-nothing boy, and let go on our shopping spree.” Smith urged but was waved off by Yvonne.

Yvonne's mouth even dropped open when she beheld a golden violet card in Andre’s grasp. She grabbed it fiercely and stared at it in bewilderment.

“Where did you steal this from?” She questioned with a wary glance.

Andre stared at her in silence, and said, “Give that to me.”

“No, you have to tell me where you stole this from!” Yvonne fired, her eyes scrutinizing the information on the card.

‘Emily Lan-Spen…’ she read out with her furrowed brow.

Emily? Why would Andre possess a golden card that wasn’t his? Was this given to him by his sugar mummy?

“Just two days after our divorce and you’re already working as a gigolo for a wealthy woman, or should I say you stole it?”

“Give that to me! Do not invite problems with your hands.” Andre caveated in a stern tone as he glared at her.

“I’m not giving it to you!” She yelled. “Attention, please!”

Yvonne drew the attention of the security, bystanders, the sales attendant, and the cashier to their ongoing saga.

“I think someone might implicate you if he pays with this stolen card!” Yvonne raised the card above her head.

And everyone gasped at the sight of the card. The golden card was a rare card given to only billionaires who were worth more than 800 billion dollars and with a lot of billion assets to their names.

Andre was cast a judgmental look, his outfits being taken into consideration.

Nah!

They shook their head, he wasn’t worth a diamond card talk more a golden one. He must’ve stolen it.

“Yes! The cops should be called ASAP!”

“How could such a man acquire such a huge asset in his hand?”

They cursed hard at Andre.

“How do you know I’m not the owner of the card?” Andre inquired with bloodshot eyes and a deep tone,

“Well, who wouldn’t know? Even the blind would testify to this.” Yvonne said, pointing to the ‘Emily’ which was written in black on the background of the card.

“Who did you steal this from? Who’s the owner?” Yvonne ignored Andre's pair of glaring eyes, further engaging him in a prolonged talk which prompted Andre to grab the card from her grasp aggressively.

“He should be arrested! He must’ve stolen the card!” Yvonne cried out.

“If care is not taken with the way you are screaming, I think you might develop a goiter.” Andre mocked.

“Madam, you should take it easy. How about, he inserts the card in the point of sale, and Input the correct password? If he gets it right, he will be refer to the Economic Financial Crime Commission, and if he doesn’t get the password correctly, he will be arrested and arraigned for court over theft.” A man in a swanky suit suggested from the crowd.

“Agreed?” The man added to his words.

“No, I think this is a besmirch of character, if I got it right, she’s going to jail. Three months in jail won’t be too much, right?” Andre grinned as he fixed his face on Yvonne.

    Chapter 47Back at the Rollins estate, chaos had erupted. Grandpa was pacing the living room, his face red and fury. Badmus had already smashed his glass of whiskey against the wall.“She’s ruined us!” Grandpa thundered. “She’s turned the entire country against us. Now, she's made us a target, Badmus! Every reporter will be digging into our history.” Badmus growled, “She didn’t name us, Father. But everyone will guess. The press already thinks it’s an internal feud.”Grandpa’s voice trembled with anger. “And where’s that useless husband of hers? This is his doing. He’s poisoned her mind!”Andre entered just then, his face unreadable, his shirt still stained faintly from the cut on his cheek. “If anyone poisoned her,” he said quietly, “it was this family.”Badmus took a threatening step forward. “Watch your tongue, boy. You think marrying into this family gives you power?”Andre gave a humorless smile. “No. But it gives me a front-row seat to your downfall.”Before either of them coul

    Chapter 46Sasha’s shoulders shook as she sobbed against Andre’s chest. Her words came out in fragments, heavy with exhaustion and anger.“I hate them… I hate my family,” she whispered. “They’re monsters, all of them.”Andre’s hand rested gently on her shoulder. “Calm down, Sasha,” he said softly. “Anger won’t bring your mother back.”She turned, her eyes wild and wet. “They’re monsters, Andre! Grandpa, Uncle Badmus, all of them. My mother’s missing, and they’re still talking about contracts!”Andre sighed, pulling her closer until her shaking body rested against his chest. “Listen to me. Go home. I’ll handle this.”“Handle?” she repeated bitterly. “How? You saw what they did. You saw how they treat you, like you’re nothing!”He didn’t flinch. “Exactly. They think I’m nothing. That’s my advantage.”Andre brushed his thumb along her cheek, wiping away the tears. “Go home, Sasha. Trust me.”She wanted to believe him. She really did. But the silence that followed only made her heartbeat

  • Where's my mother

    Chapter 45Andre turned and faced Badmus, his eyes steady."What business is it of yours who I call?" he asked, voice cold.Badmus let out a sharp laugh, one corner of his mouth curling. He snatched Andre's phone off the table and waved it in his face."Every business," he said. "The day you became a gigolo for my niece was the day you stopped being a free man."Andre said nothing. A faint smile crossed his lips — not amusement, but warning."You married her for money," Badmus went on, pacing. "But you're a fool. She's not getting a dime from her father's inheritance." He laughed again, bending slightly with his hands on his waist. Then, without warning, his voice dropped into steel."What's the password?" He held Andre’s phone in the air. Andre tilted his head. "You'll have to kill me to find out."For a long moment, Badmus stared at him, weighing the threat in his tone. Then he shoved the phone into his pocket and barked, "Fine. Then you'll lose it forever. You'll beg on your knees

After killing them then I will kill myself.” Sasha said. “No. You can't stain your hands with blood, Sasha. Your mother should be your first priority. Let's make a call across to the hospital to confirm…”“Are you trying to defend them?” Sasha fumed as her gaze locked on Andre.Andre gave a dry chuckle. “No. No way. Why will I side with my wife’s tormentor?” Andre paused to catch jus breath. “My wife’s enemy is my enemy!” “Good.” Sasha muttered and Andre leaned closer to kiss her at that moment, grabbing the gun from her grip and putting it away.When Sasha broke from the kiss, she was breathless. Wgike she was trying to catch her breath, her phone rang.She picked up. “Sasha, it's past eight. Weren't you supposed

    Chapter 43“What is that?” Sasha demanded, curiosity glimmering in her eyes.Andre shoved the phone into his pocket. “What?” he asked, putting on a tired look.“You seemed to be troubled when you were checking your phone,” Sasha said in a low voice.“Oh, nothing much.” he shook his hands in the air dismissively. “Seems like you're okay now. You're no longer having that fatigued look on your face anymore,” he said, smiling.“Yes. Still tired tho but with a little sleep I know I will be alright,” she told him.Andre decided not to bother his wife anymore as he watched her rest peacefully. Her eyes were slightly open. Andre placed her palm in his, giving it a soft squeeze.“Do you want me to tell you a story?” Andre asked.And she nodded, a small warm smile spreading across her lips.“Make it interesting,” she told him in a strangled whisper, winking at him.Andre flashed her a quick smile and sat properly at the back of his heels. “Once upon a time in country X there lived a wealthy ma

We already told you what to do if you want your mother saved.” he stopped talking, nodding his head slowly.“One, divorce him. Two, talk to the company to give us the contract back else your mother will never be taken care of.” Andre stepped forth, reaching for Sasha with his elongated hands which wrapped around her waist. “Your mother will be fine. Don't mind them.” Sasha lifted her head, with rage cackling through her face. “Fine? With what? You think your words will just get my mother healed or pay her medical bills?” “I thought your husband was a magician who could wake the dead. Why don't you tell him to heal your m
