A woman, who was a wife to the eldest man spoked up with a deep sniff to keep her tears at bay. "Our husbands are all in an unpleasant way and they were all met the same way. Who would have believed that they were all poisoned!" She repeated to a confused Austin."What? That's not possible! They haven't even signed my inheritance yet! Then this?" Austin lamented, getting pained that there's a tendency that he might not see or use his inheritance till he dies."When do you become so greedy Austin? When did you become like this? The elders of the family are all at the hospital, fighting for their lives, that's if they aren't dead yet, but you, the only thing you could think of is your inheritance?? Why??" Another wife said in distaste, getting all thrilled by Austin's declaration and his aspect of pain."I said one of the things that'll make me feel sad is my inheritance, I didn't say that that is the only thing that'll make me feel sad is if they die."They all stared at Austin in asto
"That'll be necessary." Sally said which earned her a graven stare. "What?" She questioned as she stared back."You shouldn't make it obvious that you want to get rid of us and really? Ten obstructions at a time? In a day? Come on, we both understand what's going on, I'm not a kid, you should have noticed that Sally, I won't be coming back to you and of course, you should enjoy it when it lasts, you won't know what hit you till you feel it." The oldest woman said. By then, none of the women were crying anymore since they all came to understand what was going on."Take us away, officer." They were all led away."You're unbelievable."Austin muttered beside her, as soon as they were out of sight."You too?" She asked, facing Austin with an angry glare. " You're started taking sides with them. You were here when they were busy saying trash about me and seeing me as a bad person, now karma is a bitch, it caught up with them really quickly." Sally smirked."I wasn't taking sides with them,
"How is the meal?" Sally asked as she watched him eat."It's good, you should eat too." Austin pointed to a seat opposite his own."No thanks. Pasta is not my thing you should have noticed, I only prepared this for you, do eat up while I go to the room to freshen up."Sally left without waiting for Austin's response. He chuckled, feeling overwhelmed. "It's cool to have her back.""Baby, your phone has been ringing in the room while I was in the bathroom." Sally said, walking downstairs to meet Austin, who had settled down in the sitting room watching a match. He had cleaned up the dinning and the kitchen, he even made fast food for her."Oh really? Let's see who's calling." He collected the phone from her, checking the caller before informing Sally that her food was served on the table."Did you place an order?""No, I cooked it. You should eat before it gets cold, I have to pick this call, it's very important.""Sure, thanks baby." She gave him a short kiss before walking off."Hi th
Barrister Brawn was scattering the documents on his table as his phone was stuck in his ear, pacing around and waiting for his receiver to receive the call."Where did you dropped your phone which made you ignored my call since?" He blasted at the receiver as soon as the call got connected."I'm so sorry Mr Brawn, I was attending to some stuffs and my phone was on silent.""Where is Debbie? Where's my daughter?" He asked impatiently.Mrs Smith, the nanny to barrister Brawn's daughter sighed as she stared at the little girl, who was playing with herself. "She's fine sir, she's perfectly fine.""Thank God!" He helved a sigh of relief. "Do you notice any unusual move from any angle?""No sir, everything is going on just the way it used to be." She declared, noticing nothing."Okay Mrs Smith, do keep a close watch over Debbie okay? Make sure she's always okay.""Of course sir, that's my job as her nanny.""Thanks Mrs Smith, you're one in a million." He hanged up with a relief smile. "My b
George was in the station the next day with Anna and the barrister."What are you trying to say auntie?" Anna asked."I'm trying to say that your brother is now insane, he's no more the guy we all used to know, he is now a changed man with all bad characters in him and I'm quite sure this is the work of his devilish wife." The next Oldest of the Melmer explained."This is becoming a mystery, one that hasn't happened in a while." Another of the older woman said, feeling astonished that Austin can be easily bewitched according to her."What are we going to do now?" Asked Anna."What does the girl wants?" George decided to interfere."The riches I think."George sighed, "Let's see how much of a wealth she can get." He thought, forming a plan in his head just in case he was needed."Let's forget about that and talk about why you think Austin is crazy." Anna said, wanting to know the full story, without being left out even in the slightest details."Forget about that and let's all get read
"Doctor, what's happening to him?" Sally questioned the doctor who she had invited over after Austin fainted at the dinning."He is suffering from a slight sickness, he will be okay, all he needs is a long rest.""How long?" "Very, very long!"Sally sighed and faced Austin with her teary face, "Baby, do you hear that? You're gonna be okay."Austin shook his head in denial. "I won't be okay Sally, that, I know." He declared, staring at Sally with a flat expression."What are you talking about? You heard what the doctor said right now!""I luckily can see beyond the facade Sally, stop pretending, it doesn't suit you."Sally stared at him in a knowing look and signaled to the fake doctor she invited to leave them. She laughed hard before sitting on a chair beside Austin's bed."You are now smart, where has that smartness been hiding since? Well, it hid itself to my advantage, cool right?"Austin stared at her without a word, he had actually been suspicious of her, but he always overlook
"What next?" She thought as she stared at herself admiringly in the mirror."I'm beautiful and maybe evil!" She laughed crankily then kept a stone cold face."All that's needed now are the buyers who will exchange the properties from me, in exchange for money!" She smiled, trilling herself in front of the mirror. "Who cares about the properties? All I want is the money. I'll sell all the properties and off I run.""Now, let's look for buyers, right Austin?" She questioned a sleeping Austin. She laughed and headed outside Austin's room.She grabbed her laptop and contacted the estate management she had prepared for."Hi, it's time." She said to the man as soon as he picked up the call."I have been waiting for a day like this. What are the things you will be selling? I'm having buyers for some of it already.""Very good. I will text them to you with their various prices.""Alright, no problem.""When will the sale end?""In less than a month, depending on how classic the properties ar
George drove roughly and packed his car into a wide compound. He matched in straight to a room, which had computers all around, all displaying a different scene and images."Hey George!" A man, who was typing on a computer, stopped typing and greeted George with a handshake."Hi there. Where's Cris? Is he around?" George asked."Sure, he is expecting you, come with me."They both left for Chris' office, "Yo man." Chris greeted George as he sighted him."Hi Chris, how are you doing?""I'm good as you can see.""What were you saying about Sally the other time?" George asked impatiently."You can't wait to hear it, can you?" He laughed at George and signaled to his worker, who led George in to leave. He bowed and left immediately, understanding the signal."Tell me quickly Chris, I have to return home as soon as possible, I'm having a crying baby at home."Chris laughed, "Do sit down at least.""I can't and don't want to. Just go straight to the point."Chris laughed again. "Sally got ac
