THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 207: The Escort Called Sorrow
The doctors did all they could do to see Sarah back on her feet again. The hospital was quite expensive. They said it was one of the best in the entire town and judging by the dent in my bank account, Sarah was treated with care. This was all that I hoped for in this jungle that we came. I just wanted to see Sarah hale and healthy again and take her to her father who is already dying to see her. It was when we were set to leave the village of doom that we realised that we had only wasted our time travelling through the river. I had begun to think that there was certainly another route for Charlie to have come from all the way with his car. We met two experienced drivers who were willing to take us back to base if we would pay them well. Ivasked Trina to make necessary preparations for the burial ceremony so as soon as we arrived, we would bury the dead immediately. She did so and everything was set. She went to town to purchase two coffins and met with the security men at the state
THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 208: The Desire Called Joy
Sarah couldn't wait to be home with her father and I was going to take her home finally. Just immediately after the burial. I could now call Mr. Wellington to inform him that we found Sarah and she would be home with him shortly. But Sarah asked me not to bother about that. She was just only to take him by surprise. I quickly took my bath and changed into another dress as the one I was wearing was soaked in sweats already. Sarah waited for me in the living room while I rushed to the bathroom and in another few minutes, I was out and set. She joined me in my vehicle and I drove down to her father's mansion. I was having many thoughts cross my mind as we approached Wellington's residence. I recalled the tone with which Mr. Wellington spoke to me the last time and how he must be feeling right now. The way he spoke to me, he would just have my head for dinner. But I didn't care. I pressed down the accelerator still. The security were shocked to see Sarah. They all looked at me, suspici
THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 209: Back To Base!
Mr. Wellington was really perturbed that night. He was just moving from one room to the other thinking hard of how to provide his daughter with good security. Though he was going to warn her never to leave the house without his consent, that wouldn't be enough. He had to do something to ensure that his only daughter didn't get kidnapped the second time. The thought that I burned Phillippe alive denied me of my sleep that night. I was still staring at Maggie's message but soon, it became too blurry and my face was soaked with tears. That was how tears usually flowed from my eyes whenever I stayed up late at night. Aunty Raina would say it was because of the too many cassava flakes I used to take while I was still in the cocoon of poverty. My belly rumbled. It must be hunger. I suddenly realised that food didn't pass through my mouth since morning. When others were getting something for themselves, I had lost my appetite completely. I didn't just feel like eating anything at all but n
THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 210: Forgiveness Cheats!
Uloma and her family were still the same. Nothing changed for them at all. There wasn't any form of progress in their lives. They were just there at the house, living like church rats. Even church rats were better than them now. Their poverty was renewed. It was as though God poured down wretchedness upon them because that was just the best word to describe them with - wretched. Now that life was dealing with hard really hard, they went to pay John a visit pretending to congratulate him for his success at CELL. John received them warmly forgetting all that they did to him past. They begged him to kindly speak to his friend to forgive them. But John wasn't going to do that after how we barked at each other the last time. He narrated the scenerio to them again and advised that they come to the office to meet him in person. He couldn't afford to ruin his friendship with me for the sake of some useless fellows like Uloma and her family. It was a hard thing for them to do. They wanted Jo
THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 211: For Your Shame, Double Honour!
They left the office thinking about their experience at the office that day. The fact that I forgave them so easily did amazed them because they wouldn't have forgiven me if they were in my shoes. There was this air of peace that blew around Uloma and Lizzy after they were forgiven. They felt really whole again even if they were still suffering from the disease of poverty. Mr. Wellington was yet to recover from the joy of seeing his daughter again. He would call and send text messages a thousand times just to appreciate me. It was becoming like a daily ritual that made me feel like a god. Sarah was most grateful too. She couldn't just stop reflecting on her kidnap and how severe the pain she passed through was. The village was nothing to write home about yet, I abandoned my job and family to be in that hazardous jungle to save someone who wasn't even my blood. Sarah and her father were beginning to think that I had fallen in love with the young lady for me to have sacrificed so great
THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 212: What About Emeka?
I wasn't going to have it all to myself. I was going to make every member of the Dark Dragons a billionaire too for their hard-work and commitments to fighting for justice. I wished Eugene and Fire had a family I could extend this kindness to but they had none. At least, none that I know of nor any of the Dark Dragons. They were both abandoned by their extended family because their parents were no more. We all had similar stories in Dark Dragons. It was one more person to go visit by Uloma and family and that is Emeka for scamming him. They feared seriously because Emeka could threaten their lives and demand for a refund of his hard-earned money."Where are we going to find the money if he wants it back?'' Uloma asked her sister, Lizzy who was insisting that they go to his house. "Let's just go first. Who knows? He may just forgive us like Dumebi." Lizzy said. "Emeka was my husband. I know him like my name and surname. He has a strong heart. He wouldn't listen to us!" Uloma replie
THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 213: When The Enemy Winks At You
Maggie and I were still doing our love thing but I was yet to tell her what I felt for her. I was still trying to see if Thunder had feelings for her too so we could talk about it. I noticed they were in very good terms and their discussion usually came with loud laughing and merriments. But maybe I was only jealous. God forgive me! Malid was persistent in his search for love again. He wanted to get Maggie back no matter what it was gonna cost him. He believed that there wasn't any mountain that cannot be climbed no matter how tall. Maggie was the mountain he was going to climb no matter how tall! Maggie still did not mention it to me that Malid was on her neck. Perhaps she thought it wasn't necessary or she didn't want to say something that would make me stop loving her. Malid monitored Maggie's movement. He was like her shadow, following her everywhere she went. He knew that I had now returned from "Only-God-knows-where" and I automatically became a hindrance to his new business of
THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 214: But, Don't You Think I Am The Enemy?
"Wait...! What if it wasn't the mechanic he called?" I asked myself. I became really skeptical all of a sudden. I was silent about it but trust me, my two eyes got busy. I was looking everywhere to ensuring I wasn't caught unaware. That was what training with the Don back then, taught me. I was always at alert even if the atmosphere wasn't tensed. "Evil people can strike at noon and bring your doom". Those words, by the Don, I can never forget. Malid was unconsciously confessing his love for Maggie to me and I just nodded my head like a lizard, tired of his boring talk. He really wanted us to become good friends again but I wasn't sure I was ready for such hazardous adventure. I wouldn't want to do friendship with someone who threatened other's lives. I had forgiven him sincerely but it isn't easy to forget as to forgive. Some people say they are two inseparable words but I tend to disagree. I believe one could forgive his offender but have flashbacks of past events running through

Chapter 227: The Hustle Paid Off Poverty
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

Chapter 225: The Return of George
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.

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.

Chapter 223: Peace Comes After Justice
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

Chapter 222: The Last Drink
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

Chapter 219: Dogs Can Bark and Bite But Humans Kills
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
