The Disguised Elite

Chapter 05

Gerald didn't want to give up on getting help from his wife as agreed, at least her family are rich enough to take care of Esters medical bill.

He rushed upstairs showering before later getting a cab that would take him where he knew Barbra would be... In her family house.

She was his last hope.

Soon Gerald had arrived there to see many other cars parked in the huge compound as He began to wonder why it was rather odd than normal because the compound was never this crowded with luxurious cars like it is right now.

He walked into the mansion from the front entrance of the mansion to see Barbra coming in from the back entrance of the building with different family members in the middle who were seated in the massive majestic looking parlour.

In a few seconds... Shock runs through the entire room which makes them stay quiet.

He could tell that today was their family reunion.

And He felt a bit weird about it too.

"He really don't understand... Why is he here and for what?" Barbra's mum fired at him as the rest of the family members began talking under their voices but it was clear that we were both being mocked.

"Gerald? What are you really doing here? We are divorced, He don't want to have anything to do with you! He prefer his family." his now new gold digger of a divorced wife says raising her divorce papers up but the mocking still continues.

"Who told you that you can just come back any day and become part of our family again? How dare you!?" One of her relatives says to her.

"Hm." He almost laughed at the fact that her divorce did not still earn her a comfortable spot with her own family to accept her in.

"And He will marry her." He heard that wicked voice.

"Really? that is why she is a member of this family." The same relative says and it was now he began to see how gold digging ran in their bloods.

"Yes, I will marry her." The very ugly rich and bold nemesis of his marriage... Mr Damiel says.

He noticed a huge change in the Behavior of her family members who were still attacking her as they began to praise her and compliment the news.

Hence, this did not stop them from attacking me.

Exchanging words with them was even useless because He knew exactly what He wanted.

And that was to save his son's life.

He smiled.

"He don't wish to argue with anyone here, your insults and mockery does not move him but sounds rather immature and disrespectful, but He have come here with only one request that really worries me." He said to them as silence filled the entire room.

"Barbra, before we divorced, we had an agreement and that was that if you become a member of your wealthy family, you will help in paying off our dying son's medical bill." He said to her as she stood next to Damiel who held her waist.

"Now that you're a member of your family, please follow our agreement and give him the money so He can leave here in peace please." He said remembering her about her child's life and begging her and her rich family stylishly to help out.

"Em..." She was talking before she tightened her grip over Mr. Damiel' suit.

"There will be no such help or any amount of money offered to him... If you help him in any way then please also understand that I won't be getting married to you." He says and the whole family reacted negatively towards Gerald.

Damiel was a multi - millionaire and if He were to be compared to him... He was a good for nothing poor garage engineer according to his wife sadly.

His iPhone rings and He picked the call seeing that it was Nelson's doctor calling.

"Hello, He am so sorry to tell you that we did all our best using the last hospital loan money to keep your son alive but his health got worse and I... I am so sorry." The doctor said as He fell to his knees.

"Doctor no, please... please... Doctor, please talk to him, what happened?" He asked him.

"Well, we did all possible best that we could do to sustain his life with the remaining government finance but he is still slowly dying and you need to be here so even though we might need a blood transfusion, you can be of help." He says as he stood still in surprise before He turned to look at Barbra.

"Please don't let him die, he is my everything and I cannot lose him for any reason." He said over his phone as tears began to slip off his face.

"Yes, we will do all our possible best to ensure that he stays alive, just ensure that the bills are paid so he will get adequate treatment." The doctor says like an actual warning before he cuts the call... Gerald didn't want his Brain to explode.

"What happened?" His wife asked.

"Nelson is dying, He need help." He replied to her as she looked away from him.

"Like he's worth being called father... Useless man." He heard her murmur under her breath and it shocked him.

"What do you mean?" He asked her in return.

"Barbra! The only thing He need is exactly the help you had promised, so we can save our son's life." He said to her bleeding from inside his heart.

"Oh so now he wants to get money from us, pathetic! Where are the security men when you need them, kick this poor brat out of his house!" Barbras mum screams asking the family members to kick him out, like the poor brat that he seemed to be in their eyes.

"Don't you dare touch me!" He shouted back at one of her relatives and he moved back with the rest... Shocked by his new found boldness.

Gerald had heard enough! He was fed up!
