“We still have more mystery to unravel!” Jones stated, and continued navigating through the page.
“We need to make Anamika and her mum pay! Even this disgusting man!” Chioma bellowed, pointing at Harvey’s picture on the display screen.
“Sissy, calm down!” Jones’ tried to pet her by calming her down. He only ended up infuriating her the more by calling her Sissy. Chioma hated being called Sissy.
“Stop calling me that!” She yelled on top of her lungs.
The next instant she turned around and went to bed, clearly pissed.
“Leave him brother. Let’s find out who the gigolo is!” Jame’s urged and John returned back to duty. Meantime, Chioma was muttering some words angrily as she returned to bed.
“If there should be anyone who knows about the gigolo. It should be Anamika and her mum, they were the one who hired him!” John deduced thoughtfully.
“You’re right brother!” Jame’s agreed.
“How about the contract box??” James immediately added,
“Let’s keep it until we know what to do with it ..” John gave out the final say.
***********
The next day, early in the morning, Diana was already at the central field jogging and exercising her muscles. She would be reporting to duty today and will help and treat the injured officers, on the heels of that, she was trying to avoid the inevitable question her kids would definitely ask her when they come to greet her in the morning.
“Who Is Daddy? Where is Daddy?” The steely voice reverberated in her mind.
“If I can just tell them the truth…. How would they feel when they learnt of their father’s unprofessional career? No…. Still, for how long can I hide the truth away from them?” Diana thought as she jogged.
Diana also contemplated on whether she should proceed with Eddy’s treatment. Her instinct told her Anamika would probably not keep to her side of the bargain, still she can’t back out. She was more than desperate to find her kid’s father, although a bit embarrassing that he is a gigolo.
“Is the five star general blind? How the fuck did Anamika turned out to be his fiance? The only explanation is that he is blind…..” Diana’s thoughts tumbled, finding it hard to process the fact that Anamika was actually the five star generals fiance.
Anamika on the other hand barely had a good night rest. She was unable to find the contract box, clearly her plans were ruined because of her own carelessness. She didn’t remember where she had dropped the contract box.
She was woken up by Derrick tugged. He had woken up with Anamika resting on his chest.
“How did she end up on his chest?”
The three little rascals on the other hand wore their sport dress after they woke up and brushed their teeth. They were going to join their mum in the early morning meditation at the training field.
When they went over to their mum’s room to greet her, they found out she had already gone out.
“Does it mean mum is angry at us too?” Chioma, the most timid asked,
“Not sure… let’s go without her!”
With that, the three little rascals exited the building. Just as they reached the front yard a black Bentley zoomed into the villa’s spacious compound.
It’s glasses were tinted black, retarding any ones effort of peaking through.
On the driver’s seat was a man dressed in a co-operate wear. He was no other person than Harvey. The CEO of the bankrupting Scotts conglomerate.
He was here to see his sick mother and also ask Anamika if she has managed to get the money from Derrick.
Chioma who had a huge thing for luxurious cars was so excited. In a space of just two days, she has seen new models of two important brand of cars. A Lamborghini Aventador and a Bentley.
“Wow…. Did you two see that?” She asked her brothers in her excited tone.
“Of course!” The two brothers nodded, backing their unanimous response.
They were barely few metres away from the entrance now when they saw a tall figure stepping down from the car, he was wearing a suit and his sunglasses matching his black suit beautifully.
The excitement on Chioma’s face began to fade as she gradually starts to take cognizance of him.
“That man with the big nose?” She said, turning to her brothers who in turn were taken aback, repugnance showing on their face. Not that the man was ugly, he was average and handsome for his kind of man.
“He is definitely here to see his wicked mother and sister!” Jame’s blurted.
Harvey raised his head as he walked towards the entrance in the front yard, and he caught sight of the three little rascals.
Hmmph! He recognized the kids… “The kids had been on TV last night and rumors already spread that they were the incredible General Laura’s children….”
Harvey didn’t just expected to bump into them so early.
The kids stared at him in an angry expression even as they nurtured the grudges they harboured against this man right in front of them.
“Hello!” Harvey was the first to greet them when he caught their stern stare at him, making he wonder if the kids always wore am angry face.
“What?” Chioma replied brusquely with a bossy gesture.
Just as he was about opening his mouth to talk, the entrance door flung open. On redirecting his gaze to the entrance, he met his sister’s untrusting moody face.
“Who had provoked her into a moody state early this morning?”he thought.
In actual fact, Anamika was moody because of her failed Plan last night. She was actually rushing out to the hotel she had lodged last night, “Maybe she forgot the box there, Afterall her reservation was yet to expire..”, nonetheless, she had a second thought as she was almost sure she didn’t leave the contract box there, still, every slight opportunity needed to be explored. Her future depends on it.
“He…. hey….” Anamika stuttered when she saw her big bro, “Good morning…” She greeted, “You’re here early…” She added trying to cover up her moody face when she saw the three little rascals. She can’t show how vulnerable she is at the moment.
“Mika….. Morning. Hope all is well? How is mum? Can I see her now?” Harvey inquired,
“Yea… She is at the medical ward. Room 007….” Anamika answered,
Meantime the three little rascals were already walking out..
“Oh, thank God… I need to go see her. Also, we need to specially thank General Laura. I don’t know what would have happened if not she intervened…” Harvey hummed a sigh and said, feeling grateful.
Anamika only gave a bitter smile. “If only Harvey knows Diana is General Laura. Beside, she was yet to treat Eddy, although would because she needs to know the gigolo we set her up to be fucked by….” Anamika’s thought sprang up.
“Alright. Will join you at the medical ward soon. I need to get my cellphone..” Anamika excused herself when she couldn’t find her cellphone. Probably left it behind. Also, she needed to go see Diana treat her mum. They both bargained the deal would take place this morning. On a second thought, she was racking her brain, thinking of where she had dropped the contract box.
Harvey heaved a long sigh before heading to the medical ward after Anamika went back inside.
Diana on the other hand was done with her morning training and had arrived at the medical ward to administer treatment to Eddy. Although, reluctantly.
The kid’s arrived at the training field immediately Diana left… They wondered where she must have gone to, nonetheless, they started their training even as avenging their mum’s betrayal from six years ago rumbled in their mind.
