Jamole was speeding on his scooter after Zhang ordered his security to bundle him out of the premises.His shirt was flying by the corner; it was torn by the security when they bundled him away.This wouldn’t have happened if he had revealed his true identity to him; he wondered if Zhang would be able to stand his audacity. He had hesitated and kept marketing his lands when he called the security to bundle him away“You did this to me Zhang,” he mumbled in his thought as he rode away. “You think you have arrived because you are the automobile giant in Antipolo. Okay,” he tossed his head in wrath. “Soon you will need me. You will weep blood and you will bow before me yet I will feign deaf ears and make you pay. None of you will escape my vengeance when it comes.”He sniffed back tears and rode with less interest. He had just five years to repay the loan and this was the second year. He had heard Zhang’s passion for real estate. But what did he get in return?Scoff humiliation and hate.
McDonald wasn’t done jeering at Jamole. He clapped yet further, “Hmmm I don’t know if you have considered what it felt like having Roger bang your ex-wife, Stella in your matrimonial bed. Indeed Roger enjoyed himself. I wish I were him…”He burst into a maddening laughter which was intended to make Jamole jealous.Jamole pounced at his offender but McDonald’s security suspected his moves early enough and they seized his punch and pinned him to a spot. There was a lengthy struggle between Jamole and the band of security but they earnestly dared to suppress him at a spot.“Let go of me you bunch of fools!” Jamole struggled to come off their grip. “McDonald or whatever you call yourself. Why don’t you let us be? Susan doesn’t want you. She has made it clear to you that I am her husband. Are you daft? If not for your securities I would have punched you to the ground and watch you pee on yourself.”The securities were much formidable and stronger than Jamole. Despite Jamole’s drag and force
Macdonald took out a dollar note and some coins from his pocket and poured on Jamole.“Spend it on good cloths, poverty-stricken, and don’t forget to shave those dirty beards.”Tyres screeching away and heavy cloud of dust hanging in the air, McDonald and his band of security drove away, leaving Jamole in pains and head buried in shame.***Susan was startled by the noisy arrival of Jamole into the villa. Through the window she could see the canopy of anger that stood on his face and she could tell someone had pissed him off.Each door was left slamming as he walked past them and securities and servants that greeted and bowed to Jamole were given the cold shoulders. McDonald had rattled his cage and it was his nature to transfer aggression.Even his anger had doubled, coupled with his inability to find buyers for the acres of land at the Acrid Forest and Hinterlane.“You are welcome, sweetie,” Susan greeted softly, raised a questionable brow and steered her wheelchair to his side.Jamo
One thing that Stella didn’t know about Roger James was that he was ambitious and nothing could stop him from his quest for power and wealth, not even the thighs of all the ladies in Antipolo.For the first time in their relationship, Stella was sleeping alone.While she stayed up all night brooding over Roger’s sudden change of character, Roger stayed up all night brooding over wooing Susan so that he could be the heir.At dawn Roger had a quick wash and got ready for work. He just drank a black coffee and that was enough. When he heard the sound of shuffling walker, he perceived it was Stella and she was coming to invite him to the dining.The door creaked and Stella’s makeover face peered through the door.“Good morning sweetie. Oh you are ready for work.” she walked in, looking stylish and elegant in her ash mini gown which she intentionally wore to appease the only man in her life.“As you can see,” Roger replied, not interested in locking gaze with her or appreciating her beauty.
Tonight Stella stiffened her body, fought back moan and was swallowed in heavy thought while Roger had her in bed.Struggling with breath, sweating profusely and done having her, Roger stole a glance at her gloomy face and wondered why she didn’t engage in the sex.Taking the duvet off his body to go into the shower he sounded, “Perhaps you didn’t enjoy it. I thought I was a hard rider.”She jerked away, “A thousand rounds will not save me from this thought. Go and have a wash if you want to. We need to discuss.”He shrugged, wiped his sweat with a towel. “Well I didn’t fall into a flood of poop. I just had my girlfriend.”He coiled back into the bed, stretched beside her and added, “Talk to me sweetie. What thought do you speak of?”Stella snorted, caught his chin and smoothed his mustache, “What did you call me? Your girlfriend? How old are you? I guess in your thirties. I am 25 years already. We are not getting any younger. How old was Jamole when he married me? He was 25.”He left
Jade led Jamole who was blindfolded into his new terraced detached duplex.“Eyes open,” Jade took off the blindfold, “Welcome to my new home.” He waved around all smiles. “This is the latest blessing in my life.”Pretentiously Jamole gaped at Jade, gagged his mouth and began to comb his stares around the spacious sitting room.“Oh my laughing doll! This is incredible! Jade! Are you telling me that someone rented this apartment for you and your mother? Oh my Jupiter!”Jade’s mouth curved into a smile. “You can say that again. You see, Jamole when all hope seemed to be lost, a breakthrough knocked around. Raca thought we could be in the rain and lose our properties but God said no. Instead of being homeless today we have a mansion over our heads …”Jamole couldn’t stop touching the sofa, and electrical gadgets that decorated the sitting room. “I am really elated renting you this house, Jade. You deserve more than this,” he said in his mind as he admired the luxury in the ravishing house.
From the moment Jamole got a phone call from Swan Pablo he had no rest and would make himself available at the villa as soon as possible to know what the problem was.“What could be the problem now? I hope all is fine with him,” he thought as he made home.Once he arrived on his scooter, the security bowed to him and one of them reminded him, “Boss would want to see you in brief. He awaits you in the penthouse.”“I am aware. Right away,” Jamole replied and his stare combed around for any strange car at the parking lot.Since there was no visitor around, he kept wondering why Swan earnestly wanted to see him. He got on the elevator which would lift him to the pent house and he was still overshadowed with thought. Strange calls as this could pile tension in him.He hadn’t gotten such bizarre call from his father-in-law before.“What could be the problem? Has tragedy struck? I hope not. I don’t want to lose my father-in-law now,” he thought and argued if Swan was struck down by his sickne
Jamole sniffed repeatedly and wiped his teary eyes with the back of his palms before he gently slid his hand into his pocket and brought out a sizeable wallet.Soberness and sorrow hung over him.He might have lost everything in his life but not the photo of his parents; this was certainly one memory he wasn’t going to keep from his heart, most especially during his hard timesHe smoothed their pictures as he sobbed and recalled nice memories. There was really no better memory than the fact that they had died poor and he had inherited their poverty.The prime of his life he was enjoying right now was what he would never toil with. And deep down his guts he knew this was the only opportunity he had to be rich and avenge his enemies or never.“I got six months ….six months to prove my audacity…” he sniffed, his gaze settling on the picture as if he were speaking to them. I never knew this day would come, a day I would be handpicked from nothing to something, “ he tossed his head in confi
