Chapter81Tell me everything
Miriam hand him the phone
shaking.
"And why are you shaking like
a leaf? Do I look scary to you?"
Ben ask his wife seeing how
she was shaking.
"Why are you doing this ben?"
"What am I doing? What has
come over you Miriam? Since
you came back from the hospital
you’ve been acting strange
what is wrong with you?."
"A strange man came here
today to look for you, what
business do you have with
that kind of person?"
"Strange man? I don’t know
any strange man."
"Look at your phone he even
called you."
"Really, let me see, ohh, I know
him he is not strange."
"But he was acting strange."
"He is just a business partner,
let me get back to him, am
coming," ben said and hurried
out of the house.
"Hey.. why did you come to
the house, I told you I will be
the one to visit you."
"Really? For how long? I have
done my part you do yours."
"You did your part by killing
my father?"
"What are you talking about?
I didn’t kill anyone."
"So why is my father dead?"
"Are you asking me? I did
what you ask me to do, I didn’t
kill anyone, I didn’t even know
your father is dead."
"Really?"
"Yes, really, I swear to you, I
didn’t know."
"So what did you do?."
"I made sure Victoria got ken
to sleep with her and get her
pregnant, but killing your father
was not part of my job, I have
done my part, now you will give
me part of the inheritance you
promise me."
"Well, there is a problem right
now with the will, the lawyer is
refusing to show me the will,
he said everyone has to be
present, so for now I don’t know
what am getting, you just wait."
"Don’t make me wait too long,"
he hang-up the phone.
"Come to think of it, if he didn’t
kill my father then who did? I
need to see that Victoria, she
must know something."
"Ben where are you going?"
"I will be back in no time just
wait for me at home," ben said
and start the car,
"Am going after him, I will see
what he is up to."
Ben pull right in front of
Victoria’s house.
"Who are you?"
"Is ben, the son of the man
you killed."
"I didn’t kill anyone, so just
get lost."
"You think am here to play games
with you.?"
"Leave me alone if you don’t
want what happen to your father
and ken to happen to you, am
warning you, the people you are
up against are too dangerous
for you,."
"Are you threatening me? And
what did you do to ken?"
"I have told you already, I didn’t
do anything, and you even been
here is dangerous, I will advise that
you go home."
"You have some naves to talk to
me in that manner. Who are you"?
Ben ask.
"Just a girl, as you can see"
Victoria said and try to close the
door but ben push it open again.
"Now you listen, if anything
happen to ken, I will kill you."
"Really, so what did you do when
your father died? The same
people are planning to wipe off
your entire generation, so you
better team up with your brother
to fight back." Victoria said and
close her door.
"Planning to wipe my entire
generation? Ohh.. my God, what
have I done?, this is because of
ken, because I hated him that
much, now I have lost my father
and my entire generation is
about to be wiped off? No, I can’t
let this happen, I need to find
ken."
"Heyy.. woman where is my
brother ken, hey.. open this damn
door."
But no answer was coming,
he enter his car and zoom off.
Miriam came down from her
car and walk to Victoria’s door
and knock.
"Who is that, I told you to go
away and look for your brother,
stop disturbing me."
"Is me," Victoria heard a female
voice.
"Who are you?" She ask when
she open the door and saw Miriam.
"Am Miriam"
"Ok, what can I do for you?"
"Can I come in?"
"Why will I let you into my house.?"
"Because I have seen you before,
in the Jackson's mansion and I
know that everything going on in
my family is because of you."
"Victoria let her in. “What do
you mean by that?”
"The guy that just left is my
husband, and someone is
accusing him of killing his father
and brother and then I saw him
rushing out of the house so I
followed him and here he was
arguing with you and I have seen
you before with ken and I also
heard that you have a baby with
ken, so why don’t you tell me what
is going on?"
"Is true that I have a baby
with ken, but I don’t know what
you are talking about."
"Well, let’s just say that, I am
not that of a gentle woman, I
know what you know and if you
don’t want things to go from bad
to worst for you, you better
start telling me all you know
because you see this? He will be
gone with a snap of my finger."
"Hahahaha, you can’t
threaten me with that?, you
know it, he is the son of Mr.
Jackson and there is nothing
you can do about that."
"What do you mean the son
of Jackson."
"What I mean is he is ken’s son
and a son to the Jackson."
"So what about this?"
"Don’t touch my mother do
you hear me?"
"Of cause, I don’t have to do
anything if only you start
talking."
"What do you want to know?"
"Everything and I mean everything
if not, I will give my men order
and your mother will be no more
after all Mr. Jackson my lovely
father-law is no more, that man
meant a lot to me, he was the
only one who accepted me into
that family when everyone was
against my marriage with ben."
"Hmmm, sorry to hear that, but
at least you got married to him
but what about me? Ken didn’t
want me, so what do you want
me to do she start crying.
"No,.. not now, you will stop
crying and tell me what I needed
to know."
She told her what she needed to
hear, half-truth, half lie.
"Are you sure of what you
are saying?"
"Yes, am sure, and they even
what to wipe the whole Jackson
family.
"So where is ken now?"
"I won’t tell you that, he didn’t
want anyone to know about his
whereabouts."
"Ok, thanks anyways, we can be
friends but not now."
"I like you too", Victoria said.
Miriam want straight to meet
up with her men.
"Heyy… Miriam what brings
you here?, I heard you are
married to the richest man in town,
and so fucking what? That you
forget your guys like that."
"Is not like that guys, see, I
was even happier when I was
single doing my own thing,
marriage sucks mannn…
"Are you regretting marring a
millionaire son?
"Just drop it guys, work for
your own money, don’t look at
others what you always see is
not what is real."
"What is that? Are you now a
motivational speaker? I hope
you are not here to give us
some motivational speech
because guys are not smiling,
we were happy that you married
a rich guy and all you did was
lockup what’s with you sef?"
'Calm down guys, was I not
always giving you guys money
when I was working?"
"You did, and that is why we
were expecting double but even
the little one you use to give us
is nowhere to me found."
"That is why am telling you guys
that been rich is hard work, you
better stay poor to avoid the kind
of problems am seeing on a
daily basis."
"Hmmm, you must really be in
a hot sit” the boss finally spoke .
"Ohh.. boss, I was looking
for you”
"I hope all is well?"
"All is not well boss, I should
have remain single all my life,
now look at me, I hardly get
enough money for myself."
"Really, Mr. Jackson is the
wealthiest man in town, don’t
tell me you want there and start
behaving like a dummi.
"Is not as easy as you think
boss, everything you do is on
paper, to get money from that
house you need paper, to buy
lipstick you need paper, every
expenses is on paper, is my
husband that writes everything
before money can be release to
us. And now Mr. Jackson is
dead.
"Yea, I heard about it."
"So do you know who is behind
it?"
"No, not really except you want
me to look into it"
"That is why am here."
"That will cost you money
you know".
"I know, how much do you
want?
"But you said you don’t have
money,"
"Boss, is your girl, I know you
do something for me."
"How did I know you sef?" the
boss ask.
"Boss, remember you are still
owning me."
