Mama had become a devil that her children feared so much. Lizzy locked herself up in the room, fearfully. Mama's reaction was really suspicious. She couldn't just think of what action Mama would take next but she was really scared that something bad was going to follow her confession. It was really weird to Uloma and she lost her peace almost immediately after Lizzy's confession.

Mama didn't even wait to let Lizzy explain further. She just acted as though all that she was saying didn't make any sense to her.

It was a day before the day we had all agreed to "disappear" and we were secretly packing our bags and getting set for the journey ahead of us. Sarah was still on the sick bed but with her state of health, the sick bed was no longer befitting for her. She was hale and healthy and no one could deny that fact even she herself.

Infact, she wanted us to leave immediately but the native doctor was on our way and we just had to take everything slow so as to laugh last. The native doc

    It was the same thing for everyone else. They didn't feel comfortable any longer and our minds knew no peace. We had to start thinking of the possible place he could have taken Sarah. It definitely couldn't be the hut because he knew we were there before he ushered us into his house. We had just even passed through the hideout and not a single soul was found there. It was Leviticus and Numbers that joined the native doctor to hatch the evil plot. They were all members of Lotus. One didn't have to be told that they were chained smokers. A direct look at their eyes and burnt mouth said it all. Numbers had a strong bike that travelled many miles. So he was by the gate with Leviticus as we were waiting for the native doctor in the backyard. He just wanted us off his way and his plan went smoothly. It was so unlike me. I mean, not to have foreseen that he was about to do something evil. I was too silent about what I felt about the man and it landed us in trouble. The native doctor knock

    Malid continued to follow Maggie in her sleep but it soon became a reality. He started following her, claiming that he had something very important to say to her. She told Trina about it and Trina advised that she listened to whatever he had to say but Maggie was too adamant. She wouldn't even give him the chance because the sight of him alone irritated her. It didn't seem right to her to talk to someone who attempted to take her life and she wasn't going to see him. Malid noticed that I wasn't in town. He now had the guts to visit the company in my absence, claiming that he wanted to see Maggie but Maggie had warned the security men never to let him in. Maggie did not even try to guess what it could be. That he wanted to say. She wasn't interested in it a bit. There was nothing Malid did not do the make Maggie's heart soft so he could spend time with her. He now knew that she lived in my house and this was his greatest fear. He thought that Maggie and I were engaged already for she

    She collapsed on the bed and her brains were soaked in the thoughts of Malid. The words I said to her were like straight bullets to the heart of a man. It penetrated deep into heart and she soon began to consider hearing what Malid had to say to her. But Trina must come with her if she wants her to consider her advice. Trina had no problem with that. The next time Malid called, she picked up the call and said nothing. She was waiting for Malid to speak before she said anything. Malid couldn't believe his eyes. It was so unexpected. He thought she wasn't going to pick up as usual. But she did, to his greatest surprise. He begged her not to hang up and she did so. The tone of his voice had changed. He was no longer talking like the aggressive Malid she used to know. He was really calm and collected in his words to her. He had not spoken to her like that in more than four years now. They agreed to meet somewhere very close to the house. It is an open space and public ground so there wa

  • THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON   Chapter 199: Far Away

    The love Maggie had for Malid was so far away from her heart. It died the day she walked out of their relationship and nothing in this world was going to change her mind. Though she thought of him as she slept that night, her hatred for him was only getting renewed.When the brightness of the sun began to disturb Eugene, we took him to the hut where Sarah was kept for days. There was a small wooden bed that sat conspicuously at the left side of the small room. He laid there and we were all looking at him, pitifully. But we couldn't waste much time. We had to act really fast so we could rescue Sarah from Lotus. Numbers, Leviticus and the native doctor did not reach their destination until after about one hour and twenty-one minutes. It was so far and the road that led to the place was like a shapeless figure. They were just entering into gallops at intervals and the bike would bounce as though a basketball. Charlie was already there waiting for their arrival. He left the old woman's

    The session was coming to an end and Pain was now in his final year at the university. He was really doing well in his academics and he studied as though his life depended on it. He was going to do everything to make us proud. He and his ex-girlfriend never came back together. They were just fine being apart. Pain was learning really hard to do away with women and face his studies squarely after his experience with his ex-girlfriend. He was going to fall in love with another but when it dawned on him, the numerous challenges that came with his first relationship, he withdrew himself to seeing the females around. His friends advised him because it wasn't making any sense to them that he would run away from associating with females because of just one lady. He readjusted but he still didn't fall in love because he wasn't ready for another journey to hell. It is so amazing how time flies. Pain was now preparing for his final defence. He had scaled through the days of academic struggle

    There was nothing Pain didn't do to get Professor Walcott's forgiveness. He became a god that Pain worshipped every now and then. Pain was getting really frustrated because Prof. Walcott was only making life difficult for him. Perplexed, Pain visited another lecturer of his - Dr. Bright Immanuel, at his residence at the west end in New York. He had told him earlier that he wanted to discuss a very important issue with him and the man was available anytime to hear his problems. Pain took a cab to his house that evening hopeful that he would be helpful in solving the problem he had with the Professor. The doctor was the only one at home that fateful day. His family had travelled for the wedding of a family friend. He couldn't go along with them because it was during the week and it was a sin to miss lectures a day for Dr. Bright so he had to be there. He was one of the most hardworking and brainy lecturers but he wasn't as strict as Professor Walcott. In fact, students liked to be ar

    Pain could not thank Dr. Bright enough for his counsel. He got him some beverages and took it to his residence to show his appreciation. Dr. Bright wasn't going to accept it if not because Pain came unannounced. Eugene miraculously regained his strength and was whole again. He could now speak out more than before and he was ready to go hard and save Sarah who we had no idea where she could be. We went to the end of the road. The exact spot we stopped chasing Numbers and started into space. There was just one boat but it was without a sailor. Ashley knew could use a pedal but we couldn't find any. We had to improvise by cutting down hard sticks we could manage until we got to our destination. We had extra in the boat so in case we needed another, we won't have to start looking for it again. We were on a voyage to some unknown place again unsure of what the outcome would be. We were just going as if we had a prize for each minute we spent on the river. There was another sailor coming

    We didn't care about the hotness of the sun. We just kept walking as far as our legs could take us. It wasn't too long when we arrived at the "town". It was as though we were in another country entirely. The place looked really beautiful with the degree of creativity and innovation that went into the structures and roads that led to different paths around the place. The road was really busy. It was just as busy as the former capital of the country where I used to live with the Don before we relocated. Hawkers were doing their businesses as passerbys did theirs. The place was really admirable but we didn't get distracted because we had a mission we must accomplish. "Where are we going to find Sarah?" That was the biggest question on my mind and I could also read that same question on the faces of the Dark Dragons. It was rather a very difficult thing to think about. We were just walking without direction. But we needed to get it right and know exactly where we were going but there wa

    I wanted to save his face the disgrace of his past life. I asked him to walk to the cafeteria while I follow him behind and he did as I commanded him. The cafeteria is a big one with so many serving tables here and there. Some of the costumers were eating some Kenyan delicacies and you needed to see how they were devouring the "sumptuous" meal. It had a good aroma that would cause anyone that is famished to salivate but this wasn't the time to try their food. Douglas and I had something important to discuss. We sat at the nearest serving table as I signaled the waiter to get us soft drinks. My kindness caused Douglas to fear the more. He thought I was doing him a favour that he would pay back in a thousand folds. But this wasn't so. He wasn't thinking well enough. I wanted to hear his story. Everything about him. The waiter had served us the drinks. It was enough to calm my nerves down. I gulped it as I was thirsty. Douglas felt very reluctant to take his drink. But I asked him to tak

    Chapter 226: Guess Who I Found?

    I wasn't too sure if the idea of naming the child George was a good one. How will John and his wife take it? Will they be happy about it? Will I be mocking them with the name? I hope my son will not die prematurely like the late George? My mind was preoccupied with these thoughts so I had to relax for a while. When there wasn't any other name that my heart desired, we named the child George. Sometimes, our fears only threatens us but if we shun the threat, we would be heading for success. The christening was a success and to my greatest surprise, John and his wife were happy about it. The way they snuggled the child in their arms read a million meanings. Lyda said that he looked like George during his days as a toddler. She smiled and hoped that he lived long. Thank Goodness I didn't change the name. After another week or so, I travelled for a leadership conference at Nairobi - the capital of Kenya. It was hosted by one of the most accomplished business man in the world and it was hel

    Maggie and I were having all the fun in this world. It was just she and I. No disturbance. I kept the news of Mama's death at the back of my memory. I wouldn't let it interfere with the nice time I was having with the love of my life. The wailing was for Uloma and Lizzy to do. I wailed enough while she was alive. Even in her wickedness, I loved her. I hope that her soul find rest in heaven or wherever! It's God's choice not mine. It was the first time Maggie had a sexual experience. She was a virgin. No one would believe she was because she was a full grown up lady. All through her years with Malid, they maintained "sexual distancing". Malid must have his own good sides too. Waiting till after marriage before such an experience must have come with a lot of patience. But maybe he wasn't patient enough so he loose his girl and not only his girl, but now, his life. I wonder what explanation he was going to give his creator for taking the life that was given to him on a platter of gold. I

    Chapter 224: Farewell to a Miserable Life

    In as much as we all enjoy peace, no one desires an eternal peace or say rest. But this wasn't the case for Mama - Uloma's mother. She desired death even though her children rebuked her severally. "Mama, don't say that!" "Mama, stop!!!" They cautioned. They warn her on a daily basis about her pessimism but she turned deaf to everything they ever said to her. She wanted a ticket to hell or wherever because life was teaching her hard lessons. She suffered from chronic fever, an illness one would consider "minor" or "ordinary" but it was getting worse by the day. There wasn't any kind of treatment Mama didn't receive. They did one thing or the other to ensure they meet up with the bills. They sold some of their properties and even their bodies for money to take good care of Mama. They went out of their comfort and did some menial jobs and secured something profitable for themselves. There was virtually nothing they didn't do. But their efforts were not amounting to any positive result.

    I danced David's dance at the reception of my wedding. We were so elated and fulfilled. I now had a woman I could call mine with confidence. Friends and family joined in our dance. The bridal train were not left out too. The songs were so melodious. I mean, it was remedy for any broken heart. The musical instruments synchronized without any flop and we were just taking different steps - from left to right. We heard of the tragedy. It was as though we didn't hear the right thing. But it was true. Zero lies. It was so pathetic - the untimely death of Malid. No one could have thought that he would kick the bucket so quickly with the life of wealth he lived in. It was no news that he killed himself with poison right inside his room. He just wasted his life for nothing. He threw his poor family into mourning and complete bitterness. They hearts were heavier than the stone that was used to cover Jesus' tomb. The rumor was all around the place. It was everywhere that the founder of El-Tech c

    Nobody would believe that I "snatched" Maggie from him. After all, I didn't do that. She simply got too tired of him so she "kicked" him out of her life and will not allow him back. Thank God for Thunder who stopped him right at the gate perhaps he would have done something worst. He was such an animal. I think God assigned some angels to create him and that day, they were too tired to add a pitch of calmness in him. He just liked to burn everywhere he is found. But the fire from a lantern is not same as the one that erupts from a cooking gas. Thunder's punches were enough lessons for him and a warning never to thread the path of lions like us. Malid got home badly injured. He collapsed on his couch in tears. He had sacked all his staff and some of them resigned because they could no longer be patient with him. He was acting like a demigod and they wouldn't let another man trample on them like a snake Malid hates to see. He was growing more wild by the day so they all had to leave him

    Chapter 221: No way!

    I think Maggie is truly the divine woman made for me because for the first time in my entire life, I felt truly loved by a woman. I was betrothed to Uloma by her father who considered me a responsible man. He was sure that I was going to take good care of his daughter because of the traits I displayed during my stay at his house. I felt like I was marrying my step sister even though we were not in anyway related by blood. This was his death wish so I decided to honour the poor man. But one of the lessons I have learnt in life is never to marry a man or a woman in pity. I had compassion for Uloma and her family especially after the demise of their lovely father. So I married her but I regretted it quite too early. I wonder how Uloma, Lizzy and Mama coped with a man whose spirit provoked their demons. He was just one of a kind. A complete father and an epitome of love. I mean, he took me in without knowing a thing about me. Just assumptions and the fact that I was a human being as him.

    Chapter 220: Shall We?

    Now I had to tell Maggie the story of my life to clear the air. She kept asking too many questions and I couldn't deny her the right answers because she was now very dear to my heart. I mean, can one withhold the truth about the colour of one's skin from one's buttocks? That would be eating beans with the eyes. Maggie was pensive when we got home. It was as though she had just finished watching a Hollywood movie but this time, she didn't watch it on screen but on set! She was amazed to see me take them down, one by one, as if I had prepared for the attack. I didn't prepare for anything but that sharp thought that flashed through my mind was enough to sense something. I usually had such a feeling when something goes wrong. My demons were never asleep. They kept on knocking the door of my heart until it dawn on me that there was something wrong about the route we were taking. I told Maggie about the Dark Dragons something I never mentioned to Uloma. Paula knew about it of course, because

    It is true that once a soldier, always a soldier. But I also think once a fool is always a fool or maybe... Once a culprit, is always a culprit! Malid was at it again. His usual display of foolishness. I called it "foolishness" because he thinks he can play smart and get me tied to his trap. Me? What a dream! Malid couldn't sleep well. Of course, he wouldn't have. He was dreaming of the impossible. So how possible was it for him to find sleep? Sweet sleep are for those who have laboured in truth. Not some evildoers like Malid! I sensed it from the smile, the handshake, the gestures, uneasiness, friendliness, useless talks... everything! I knew he was surely up to something. Can I ever forget Aunty Raina? Even if she belongs to the family of evil-doers with Malid as the head. She would say; "a rat does not run in daylight for nothing. He must have seen a cat or something." Malid is the rat here but instead of staying clear, the idiot remains adamant, like a forgotten morsel of pounded
