My Nephew

They couldn’t believe what Henry just said.

“You bought the company? What a joke! I was there yesterday!” Jerry shouted.

“You were there yesterday doesn't mean anything. I was also there this afternoon. I was called at the last minute. They offered me to be the CEO of their company and I sent the money to them as soon as possible.” Henry explained.

“You gotta be joking! That’s impossible. You make it sound easy and we all know very well that such a thing doesn’t happen! I know very well that you’re hallucinating!” Jack shouted.

“Do you want to know the amount?I really didn’t want to brag about this but you guys are leaving me with no choice other than that. I actually bought the company for 1 trillion dollars!”

“One trillion?” They all shouted.

Mrs. Cavill still refused to believe him.

“You must have scammed them! You are nothing but a delivery guy and that is what you will forever remain!” She gritted her teeth.

“I have no business with you, Mrs. Murderer. We’ll meet in your first trial.” Henry smiled.

“First trial? What a joke? You have no evidence that I killed your sister and mother and with my influence, everything is possible.” Mrs. Cavil faked a smile.

“Ohh, I know what your stronghold is. Your influence and wealth right? I truly wonder what will be the fate of all of you after I expose everything happening in the company.” Henry said, walking towards the boy.

“I know very well that you are trying to get a share of the company. I promise you that you will fail! You can never bring down THE CAVIL’S FAMILY in the business world. You know that very well right?!”

Henry scoffed.

“CAVILL'S FAMILY?! I guess I’ll have to change my surname. It sucks to be a member of a powerful, dirty family!”

“Change it and get out of our sight! We do not want you here!” Jack shouted.

“How sure are you about that? How are you sure that you don’t need me here.” Henry asked, lifting the little boy in his arms.

The little boy groaned in pain as Henry mistakenly touched his arms.

“What’s wrong?” Henry asked, raising the boy’s shirt.

“What is this?” Henry shouted as he saw the burn on the boy’s body.

Mrs. Cavil heaved a sigh, “Don’t tell me you did this to a boy who is barely eight years old!” He shouted.

“That is an injury. Nobody burnt him with an iron!” Jerry sighed.

Henry nodded his head slowly, “That is what y’all said to Father when he asked about the bruises in my body. If there is no other reason I should get revenge, my sister and her son are a great reason!!” Henry shouted.

“You seem to be more interested in getting revenge than knowing the truth of what actually killed your sister. I know very well that I said I knew nothing about it earlier but I can tell you the truth. Who actually killed your sister.” Mrs. Cavil smiled.

Henry stared at her, “Tell me the truth right now, who killed my sister and what led to her death?” Henry roared.

“I can only tell you that on one condition.”

“What condition is that?” Henry asked.

“Leave this country! Just leave. Go to wherever you came from or else I'll kill you!”

Henry laughed.

“You can't kill me the same way you killed my sister and mother. I'll make sure I kill you first!” Henry shouted.

“We shall see about that!” Mrs. Cavil said leaving the hall.

“Don’t do anything stupid, you'll regret it!” Jake whispered in Henry’s ear.

Jerry patted his back gently as he walked out.

Evelyn stared at him as she walked close to him.

Henry stared at her without saying a word.

“I’m really sorry about everything that happened ten years ago. I'll make up for everything.” Evelyn apologised.

Henry scoffed.

“Who killed my sister?” asked Henry.

Evelyn heaved a deep sigh.

“She travelled out of the country with her step-siblings a few weeks after your accident. Then, two years later, they returned with her corpse and a son. We still don't know the details of everything but I can assure you that Mrs. Cavil is not your only Enemy right now. Many people are after your life. There are so many that I can't mention.” Evelyn explained.

“Wow, ten years was such a huge gap. They are after my life now?”

Evelyn nodded her head.

“Don’t forget that your death will benefit some shareholders in the company. Father gave you the largest share in the company. Your death will benefit each and everyone of them. So, don't act rashly.” said Evelyn.

Henry nodded his head.

“It’s crazy right?”

“What’s that?” Henry asked.

“We suddenly turned into strangers overnight.” Evelyn replied.

Henry stared at her while chuckling softly.

“I won't save you though. You brought it upon yourself. A contract marriage? That sounds stupid to me. Anyway, one day you'll explain to me how you ended up with Jack and not Max.” Henry sighed leaving with the little boy.

Evelyn felt disappointed. She really expected Henry to pity her a bit then once again she remembered that she is the reason why Henry was currently in this condition.

“I deserve it anyway.” She shrugged leaving the hall.

Her ten year wedding anniversary was a total failure. Henry ruined it for her.

It made headlines on the TV.

The Cavil’s family is more than popular in the country. Anyone that doesn't know about them lives under a rock.

Henry carried the little boy into his car. He can't leave the child to Mrs. Cavil. They might as well kill him like how they're trying to kill him.

Henry heaved a deep sigh as he stared at the little boy. The little boy reminded him of his sister.

He wished he didn't meet Evelyn in the first place. These ten years really caused a huge amount of pain for him.

If he was alive, his sister wouldn't have died or passed through these pains.

Henry stared at the little boy as tears flowed down his cheeks. He gently wiped it off with his handkerchief. He placed his hands on the little boy’s hair.

“What’s your name?” He asked the little boy.

The little boy stared at home without saying a word. He asked for the second time: “What’s your name? Little boy. ”

The little boy continued staring at him.

“Is he deaf and dumb?” Henry thought.

He asked once again;

“You can be comfortable around me. I won't hurt you, I'm your uncle. Okay?” Henry smiled.

The little boy stared at him and smiled gently.

“You smile? Why don't you talk?” Henry asked but got no reply either.

The little boy’s smile made him cheer up. He can talk whenever he wants but at least he understands what he said.

“I will take you home. Okay? No one's gonna hurt you again. Okay? You're safe with me.”

The little boy nodded his head.

Henry smiled. He was rest assured. He took the little boy to his home. He doesn't want Mrs. Cavil and her family continue hurting the little boy.

They arrived at Henry’s home. Henry was really in need of a maid but he can find one the next day.

The house really looked empty. Freezers with nothing inside and not even a little food.

“Are you hungry?” He asked as he bent down to the little boy.

He nodded his head.

Henry smiled. He quickly brought out his phone and ordered take outs for them.

Their order arrived a few minutes later. It came faster than Henry expected.

“Thanks for your patronage.” The delivery guy said, handing their orders to Henry.

Henry stared at the delivery guy as he sped off in his scooter. It really brought back old memories to Henry. He remembered he was once a delivery guy but all of a sudden he's now a quintillionaire. It's all thanks to the wealth system.

“Diner is ready!” Henry shouted excitedly.

The little boy walked to the dining table. He started eating immediately..he ate the pizza so quickly that Henry had to tell him to slow down. That it wasn't running away.

Henry realised that the little boy wasn't fed well. He shook his head in disappointment.

Mrs. Cavil was more evil than he thought.

“What is your name?” He asked once again.

The little boy stared at home without saying a word. He dropped his pizza immediately.

“Is everything okay?” Henry asked as the little boy stood up to leave.

The little boy didn't reply.

“Did I hurt you? Did I do anything bad somewhere?” Henry asked, walking after him.

He held the little boy's hands.

“Don’t worry, I won't ask you about your name again. I’ll just call you “Mike” is a good name right?” Henry asked.

Mike nodded his head in agreement. They spent the night together. Henry took Mike in as his own son. Not as a Nephew.

While Mike was sleeping, Henry stood up from the bed. He gently walked into the living room.

He sat down to think of so many things and how to get his revenge on Mrs. Cavil and her family. He pondered on what actually killed Doreen and how Max was the killer.

The fact she had given birth to Mike before her death was more questionable. He decided to visit Max at the prison yard the next day.

He got some information from Evelyn about the location of his prison yard.

**THE NEXT DAY**

Henry prepared for work. It was his first day as a CEO of a multi-billionaire company so he had to dress and act nice.

He registered Mike in a school. One of the most popular and expensive schools in the country. He personally told the principal about Mike's inability to speak and the principal assured him that Mike will start speaking soon.

Henry drove to the company from the school. The workers had already designed the company to welcome him as their new CEO.

As Henry walked in, people kept applauding for him. Amongst everyone, Clinton was the most surprised. Henry came to buy a car at the company yesterday, and today he was the CEO of the company. It was something worth applauding for. Clinton started wondering about the source of his wealth.

“Welcome Mr. Henry Cavill.,” The former CEO welcomed him with a round of applause.

“I thank you all for having me here and I pray we all work together to achieve great things.” Henry smiled.

“A hot CEO?!” The ladies admired it. They kept staring at Henry in a weird way and Henry noticed it too. He stopped looking at the ladies.

Henry was introduced to his office and he started work immediately. He requested for the past records of the company and it was given to him.

He was surprised to see that The Cavil’s are also competing with Hundeyin.

Henry chuckled slowly. He has realised the first way to piss them off. He would invest a lot of billions into the company so that their stock price will skyrocket and The Cavil’s will get pissed off. They would have no other choice but to get into loans.

“How much is the company's debt?” Henry asked the former CEO.

“About two hundred million dollars.” He replied.

“Not really a huge amount of money.” Henry sighed.

“Not really a huge amount of money? Two hundred million dollars isn't what you can just see anywhere.”

“I know that very well. But it's all for the benefit of the company. Make sure all the debts are cleared from my own personal accounts. I hate loans.” Henry sighed.

The former CEO; MR. HUNDEYIN was the happiest to hear this. They had been owing that same amount of money for some months now.

“Thank you so much Mr. Henry. I really did a great job selling the company to you.” Mr HUNDEYIN smiled.

While he was rejoicing, Henry was more happy because he had completed his daily mission for today which was spending not less than a million dollars.
