"Hey, I am talking to you, are you deaf Dumebi?” she shouted further. "Look I did not come here to visit you or did I tag you as soon as I entered the building. Stop being jobless and get yourself something to do.” I responded as I turned away. "You? Who do you think you are? Look at me well I am not Uloma, I will deal with you thoroughly if you don’t…” "Look Mrs. or is it Miss. because I recall you ain’t married, anyways I assume you must have a dozen work to do, I am pretty sure if one of your bosses see you talking to a visitor I wonder what will happen to you.” I said as she wanted to talk. She realised I was right. "Just because the security men allowed, does not mean you are anything, anyways I don’t have much time to waste on cockroaches like you.” She added as she went back to her work. I couldn’t expect more from her, so I wasn’t so surprised with all her tactics. I then sat down at the reception lobby waiting for John because I knew he would be there anytime fro
"Let me go, you useless man.” She added. At that moment I recalled that voice, I turned my face and saw her. "Mama!” I exclaimed. "What are you doing here?” I asked in shock. "What am I doing here? What am I doing here! Or what are you doing here? You know, I have said it many times, I know you cannot stay away from my daughter but you must follow her everywhere, no must you?” she asked, being overly dramatic. "Mama, I wasn’t following anyone, if I am not mistaken you were the one who was actually following me.” I replied as I let go of her hand. "Is that the way to talk to your elders, much less me a fine woman and mother of two beautiful girls, two women whose standard you can never reach, oh, oh or you think my daughter didn’t inform me that you are now following a rich woman who is a director of big bank." "You can do all your prostitution but you'll always be poor no matter what you do for you.” She added as she left. I stood there wondering how exactly I put up wit
As I was about to leave the elevator they started to rant all over again. "You can’t go to the utmost floor without a special card dummy.” Uloma said again. I was pissed. "Haven’t you guys gotten to your stop yet, why are you still here?” I asked knowing fully well that the elevator had passed their stop. "What is that supposed to mean, that we are jobless and following you around?” Emeka asked knowing fully well that it is exactly what was happening here. "Look you need a card to access the floor, you clearly don’t have that card so don’t try to fool us ok, just go back home or wherever you are coming from, Ok?” Allen added. I remained focused on the elevator door as I really had no intention of getting tangled up with these people, sometimes I got excited with some people I met while I had lost my memory, but most times I wished there was no Dumebi and the life he had. Allen was upset that I ignored them and pulled me towards a corner in the lift. He placed his hands at
Mr.Wellington observed me with full focus, as I stared at him. "I hope something bad hasn’t happened, Mr. Tony?” He asked. "No.” I replied. "I just needed your expertise for my company.” I added. "Your company sir?” He asked as he stared at me in utmost shock. "Mr. Tony you have a company, was that the business you were talking about?” He asked, with a relieved tone. "I must say you are really ambitious and what is the name of your company sir?” He enquired further. "I bought BRADON, it’s a multi-national company and I have thought of no other person than you to give an advice." I responded feeling optimistic and proud of myself. "You bought BRADON? I know BRADON, it’s a really sophisticated company.” Mr Wellington looked at me with more amazement. "Rendering assistance to you in whatever way you require will be very okay by me sir. Helping you with this will be such an honour.” Mr. Wellington said, still feeling the shock of the news of my company. I can see how m
"Hello guess who is speaking?” Allen said after dialling a number. "Jackson Tomer, long time no see.” He added. “Allen to what do I owe this pleasure of having you call me, I mean you never remember to call me and you say we are friends.” Jackson, who must have been a friend to Allen responded. "Oh come on Jackson, you know that I always have you in mind, it may not look it but I honestly care about you my friend. I know that there are times it feels like I don’t care but you know I do right?” "Hmm Allen anytime you start to talk like this, it’s either you have one hot gist that concerns me or you need something from me so which is it this time?” Jackson asked knowing Allen too well. "Hmm, I am supposed to be offended by that statement because this time you are correct, but trust me this benefits both of us.” Allen said trying to get his favour. "What do you mean benefit both of us? “Jackson asked now interested in the conversation. "Well do you remember the beautiful, ho
"Help, Help… You guys shouldn't just stand there, do something""Let go of me!""I will make sure you pay dearly for this. You took my girl and you still have the guts to do this to me, you are a finished man in this town and I will make living miserable for you." Jackson said, with much pride still filled in his voice.I started to get more pissed by his statement and reaction despite the position I have kept him."I will make sure you learn an unforgettable lesson today." I shut him up with a kick from behind.Sarah banged the door open and saw the scenes and how I have been ganged up against. Sarah took her phone to call Mr Wellington. "Dad, Dad I need you to call uncle and tell him that the manager of his bar along with his friends are getting in a fight with Tony." she exclaimed. In a space of mintues Sarah’s uncle who is Mr. Wellington’s brother walked into the room. "What is going on here? Will someone explain to me his instant.” Mr Tom Wellington said in anger. Jackson i
"Just shut up and tell me, all this one is too much.” Mama said as she continued to eat. "Mama, they hung his poster in the office today, you won’t believe it. I just said, let me take a look at the new president only to see nobody but Dumebi on the poster.” Lizzy said sadly. "Wait… Wait, which Dumebi are you talking about?” Mama asked as she still did not want to believe that I was the one the daughter was talking about. “Dumebi! mama, that stupid Uloma ex-husband. Mummy, if you see how shocked I was when I saw that poster, I felt like tearing it down” Lizzy added. Mama’s plate fell and broke after she heard this. "What! That cockroach, useless poor man, there is no way now, how come, how is he now your boss?" Mama exclaimed. "No, no it’s not possible, how can? How come?” she added. "Mum I don’t know, it’s like a mystery to me, in fact I heard from a colleague that he now owns BRADON, he owns the entire thing mum. The situation really weakens me; I think he did it on purpose.
There was broken glass everywhere on the ground, no this was not how we left, what could have happened here. I stared around in disbelief just to find out Mathilda was gone. “Mathilda! Mathilda! Where are you?” I shouted as there was no response. “Sarah, Sarah listen, give me Mathilda’s number." I requested as there was still no answer from her. I took Sarah’s phone and tried to call but it was going into a voicemail. I picked up my phone and called Trina immediately. "Hello Trina I need backup, there might have just been a kidnapping. I will send you an address.” As soon as I hanged up I knew there’s no way they could have gone far, but I had to take Sarah to her house where it would be safe. There is every possibility she was the target.I took Sarah with me as I tried to see if they were still there. I saw Mathilda on the other side of the bar with some guys in black chasing her. I took Sarah with me and called Mr. Tom. “Mr. Tom, please, I need you to keep Sarah safe in your
