THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 63: When Family Calls
I was just about to sleep when my phone started to ring seriously. “can’t a man just rest.” I sighed. I picked up my phone to see who it was. My phone fell from my hand. “How did he get my number?” I asked. “Uncle Ben, what does he want?” I asked, wondering seriously. I don’t know why I was a bit hesitant to pick up the call because I seriously have nothing to lose. The scars uncle Ben had left on me when I was young were still fresh so he wasn’t my favourite person on the planet but he is still family. I picked up the phone and called him back. “Hello Uncle Ben.” I said in a calm voice. “Why didn’t you answer the first time I called?” he asked with a serious voice. “I heard you came home, why?” he asked further. “to see my family. Is that bad?” I wondered why he was questioning me. “Well for three years you hadn’t visited, why show up all of a sudden?” he asked. “Uncle Ben, why didn’t anybody even try to call for three years? Since I left, nobody has even tried to call or check
THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 64: Some People Don’t Deserve Forgiveness
I got to my family house and stopped by my parents grave to honour them. As soon as I got there I saw some officials throwing my family members' belongings outside. My aunty saw me and ran towards me right away. “Damien, I am so glad you are here. Please stop them, help me explain to them that this was your parent’s house.” she said crying. “What exactly is going on?” I was so lost and confused. “Who are all these people and why? Why are they packing your stuff out?” I asked. I looked round and saw my two uncles sitting quietly in a corner. My niece and nephew were both playing silently. “it’s my son’s fault but I will explain it to you later. Damien we owe a debt of $1.5 million to the bank and our house has been put on mortgage.” She said further. “What did Femi do this time?” I asked how they were owing such an amount. “I can’t tell you now, can you first assist us with whatever you have. It doesn’t matter, we will manage to find the rest.” She added. I look at my two uncles w
THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 65: There Is No Life Without Competition!
I guess the saying is true “there is no life without competition.” The news I was given was one that is inevitable. “what are you saying Maggie?” I asked once again. “you have a strong competitor Tony. A very strong one at that.” Maggie added. “a competitor in what exactly?” I asked confused. “in business. If you had stayed a while at the conference they introduced a young man named El Malid. He is a young business man just like you who own Alvary a big tech company even Mr wellington has some shares in his company. I heard that he wants to start somethings that BRADON produces. He wants to start his own coffee, clothing line, electronics and many other productions that BRADON does normally.” She added. “hmm, so let him. The sky is wide for every bird to fly.” I replied. “I know but EL Malid is very popular amongst the business men in the society. He is a very prominent business man and has a promising future. I want BRADON to overtake. the market but with this kind of competition

What did you just say? Say it again.” I said laughing. “I said I want to take care of you. There’s nothing funny about it Tony. I am very serious.” She replied. “in other to prove it to you. Let’s go on another date.” She said all of a sudden. “Sarah you don’t have to think you owe me anything just because I saved your life. Your father is our client and my very good friend you know. You are also my friend so I would do anything for anyone I consider my friend.” I added. Sarah looked disappointed at my statement. “I guess you treat everyone the same way. You are just a nice guy.” She said. “but that won’t stop me. Despite the fact you take care of everyone no one takes care of you. I will be that person.” She said confidently again wrapping her hand on my checks. She added. “since you insist I can’t stop you can I?” I asked jokingly. “no you can’t. Let’s go out when you are free ok?” she asked. “fine sure.” I replied. “alright I am done but still go to a hospital to do a proper ch
THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 67: On One Condition
“Hello Tony, I need your help!” Maggie shouted. “Maggie, calm down. Why do you sound so sad?” I asked. She started to cry. “Tony, two malls that we are a huge investor in just got burnt.We have lost a lot of money Tony.” She added as she started to cry even more. Before I could say anything my second phone started to ring, I looked at the call and it was Ashely.“Maggie I will call you back but definitely don’t panic. I will help you with everything. Just relax.” I replied to her and hung up the call. “hello Ashely what’s up. I am on my way to the Dark Dragon base.” I said in a rush. “No, I was about to ask you not to come any more. Pain said you’ve already been through a lot and needs to rest. Pain said he was going to take on the mission.” She said, “oh ok, but what was the mission about?” I wondered what it was. “We are looking at an arsonist case.” She replied. “an arsonist? Wait, did they burn a mall by any chance?” I asked further. “Yes, two malls. The case is really very con
THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 68: What Causes Flames
I brought in a white board in front of the parlour. “Look here. I am trying to put these things together. None of it is actually making sense now. I feel like there is something that is not showing on the surface.” I said looking at the clues that we have been able to gather. “For now we need to see how we can find any of those witnesses who said they saw the person who set the fire.” I added. “I think Ashely should be able to help with that. She received a call from someone who claimed to have seen the person. Let me call her. What should I ask her?” Pain asked. “ask for the witness number. We need to talk to the witness.” I added. “ok Pain replied as he walked aside to handle that. I downloaded the image of the burnt malls. Also pictures of all the investors of the mall and even various rival’s malls and I found out something shocking. I discovered that the guy who Maggie had told me about in the conference owned a rival mall. He is also an investor of one of the malls, the one
THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 69: In Identifying Suspects. The Odd One Stands Out
I printed out some more pictures. “I have it, the CCTV footage. Ashely sent it.” Pain said. I took it and as we looked at it, we noticed something. “something is off.” I said as I replayed the footage over and over again. “That lady said there was a truck parked outside but there’s no truck at all in this video.” Pain said. “yes and also it looks like someone tampered with the video. This isn’t the complete thing” I added. “whoever is behind this must have planned this for a while.” Pain said, shaking his head. “We have to identify the possible suspects for the fire.” I said looking at the pictures I had printed. I took El Malid’s picture and placed it on the white board. “he is my first suspect because he owns a very huge mall at the eastern bay and yet he owns a share in the one that just got burnt. Why invest in your competition?” I wondered. “Wait, what if the guy is just very ambitious? What if he sees profit in it?” Pain asked. “hmm. You are right though. I thought about tha
THE RETURN OF BILLIONAIRE DON Chapter 70: Fire Burns Water Quenches
John walked back to his office really confused. “that day was the same day that Tony was missing wasn’t it? That was the same day that Tony left my son alone in his house.” John said, pondering. “but Tony told me that he went to see a friend that day. Why would he… something is not right. Trina was also feeling very panicked that day. A lot of things don’t just add up.” John said calculating. John was confused.I entered El Malid's tech company and he did have a lot of workers. I walked straight to the receptionist. “Good afternoon. I am Tony Jason. I have an appointment with Mr. Malid.” I said looking at the watch hoping not to waste time there. “ok sir. Hold on let me check.” She said as she picked up a cell phone and called El Malid’s office. “tell him the president of BRADON.” I added. She looked at me weirdly and said. “he claims to be the president of BRADON.” She said sizing me up. She dropped the call and said. “ok you may go to the first floor someone would be there to rec

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. 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.

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
