Chapter 124
"Didn't i tell you she was evil, a prostitute can never change and i didn't know that she has turned into a complete assassin, you are indeed very lucky to have escaped with your life" Mr Stanley said, my aunt covered her mouth with her hands, she was completed shocked and short of words at the same time, she couldn't believe that all these things would happen shortly after they left my house that day, "but how are you going to recover the money she stole from you?, that's a huge amount of cash you know" my aunt asked looking a bit uncomfortable on the couch, she adjusted her dress a little while trying to rest her back well.
"I seriously don't have a clue on that and there is no possible way i can get it back even if i involve the police" i replied, the both of them looked as if i was speaking latin language and just then, i heard a knock on the door as my gateman rushed in, "sir someone is here to see you, her name is Mariam" he said. My ears stood up like antennas and my soul nearly left my body at that very moment, what the fuck is my mother doing here and how did she find this house?, "let her in, she's his mother" aunt Stella called out to the gateman and he left immediately, "I don't understand what's going on?, how did my mother get here?" i asked looking so confused and scared because i know things are about to go soar.
"She and your father came to Nigeria for my wedding, we wanted to surprise you a little that very day but you didn't show up so your father left this morning for an urgent meeting in Paris and your mother decided to stay behind so that she could see you before she leaves" she said, "but she hasn't been here and you didn't come with her so how does she know we are here?" i asked trying to digest what she just said. "I gave her your address so all she had to do is type it on the GPS of my car and it would show her the road to this place because we left her in the house, she said she wanted to sleep for a while" aunt Stella replied
I stood up from the couch to see what was happening outside and i saw a white Toyota Land cruiser driving into my house, my heart nearly skipped for a second and i quickly dashed upstairs when mr Stanley held me back, "what's wrong and where are you going, don't you want to see your mother?" he asked looking so serious, "you won't understand, i have to take off this bandages" i replied while struggling to remove my hands from his strong grip.
"And why do you want to take off the bandage?, do you want to expose the injuries to infection?" he asked, he was right though but i don't want my mom to see it because she would definitely become angry in the later end, once she finds out what truly happened. I simply walked back to my sitting position as i sat down there waiting for her to walk through the door.
She walked in few minutes later and i was taken aback by her beautiful face, she has changed a lot and her lovely gown compliments her undying beauty, "what's up people, how are you all doing?" she asked while walking in with her eyes closed, she turned around, showcasing her dress but when she opened her eyes, her back feel to the ground and she became weak.
For five minutes, she was completely confused and silent until my aunt m
carefully sat her down on the couch, "Good afternoon mom," i asked with a smile and pain all over my body, "what happened to you my son?" she asked as her eyes started letting out few drops of tears, I felt a little bit touched by her tears. "Mom just relax, i will tell you everything that happened but you just have to be calm, i don't like it when I start seeing tears drops in your eyes" i said.
She did as i instructed and now it's time for me to let the cat out of the bag, "mom i would like to say that i have seen a great deal of trouble within this past few days and I wouldn't believe that i will fall prey to the hands of evil ladies. I know that you are wondering how I managed to get all these bandages tied on my body but before i start, I would like us to take a cold drink first" I said with a smile.
"Andrew, I'm not after cold drinks or wine, tell me what happened to you now or i will call your father" she threatened, this was what i have been trying to avoid all these while, perhaps I shouldn't have allowed my Aunt and her husband in, now they have succeeded in ruining my mood. "You have to calm down sister, don't shout at me how, he is passing through pains and it's not his fault at all" my aunt said while trying to calm my mom down.
"To make everything simple, a lady inflicted all these injuries on my body and i have my gate man to thank because he was the one who rushed me to the hospital when i passed out with blood all over my body" i said, my mother is becoming do curious at this point and she doesn't like the way i keep putting her in a state of suspense all the time, "how did it happen and what led you to such kind of lady?" she asked. "I thought i have met a girl who will end up as my wife and bear me a child but i didn't know i was walking straight to the devil himself.
I hosted a house party after i succeeded in purchasing this mansion here and my Nigerian friend who was also part of the evil plan told me he has a girl who will like to attend the party, i allowed him to bring her here because i trusted him with all my heart. I spoked to the girl that day and she collected my number and insisted that both of us go on a date, a part of me didn't agree with that so called date but i went anyways.
To cut the the story short, we began dating each other not knowing that she was sent by someone to kill or either dupe me, she's was sent by a company who were jealous of me and dad's triumphant success in the gaming sector. She ended up asking me to send the sum of twenty five million dollars to boss's account and when i refused, she inflicted these injuries on me with a broken glass cup" i narrated
My mom couldn't hold it anymore as she burst into tears, she kept on crying for about twenty-eight minutes and i watched in amazement as my aunt and her husband tried to calm her down once more, "Don't cry Mariam, what if the girl had killed your son, what would you have done?" my aunt said while wiping off tears from my mom's face with her handkerchief. "But i still don't get the fact why you can't report this issue to the police and track down the bank account of her so called boss?" Mr Stanley inquired with a confused look on his face, seems he hasn't grabbed the full story, "her boss is obviously very smart and skilled in this kind of job, reporting the issue to the police is off no use because I sent the money to her boss's Bitcoin wallet address" i replied
"What!!!", they screamed in shock, "yes, she held me at gun point so I had to purchase the Bitcoin with my American bank account and i transfered it to her boss's Bitcoin wallet address and they used a trust wallet address which can not be tracked because it's not being controlled by anyone and the appliances gives users the freedom to receive cryptocurrency coins from anywhere, so how am i going track an ordinary Bitcoin address?" I asked. "i don't care about the money, I'm just glad you are still alive and that's all that matters, you should have more than enough money in your bank account and if you don't, i and your father can send you about thirty million dollars each" she said
I was indeed very glad to here those words because more money is about to enter my account, "thank you mom" i replied with a smile, "that's okay, now start packing your things because you are leaving this country for good" she said. My heart beat somehow reduced when i heard those words which came out from her mouth, i would have cherished those words if she had mentioned them a long time ago when i kicked against the idea of migrating to Nigeria but i can't leave now when I'm getting used to this great country already and i don't want to live in the same city with them anymore, not after experiencing this kind of freedom, "that's not happening mother, you can't just command me like your toy anymore" i replied while trying to stand my ground
"Mariam, i don't think that's a good idea right now, the boy likes it here and he is already working as a manager in his father's company so how can you just tell him to move out like that" aunt replied, trying to back me up and I was greatly pleased by this, "oh he likes it here right, now where has that gotten him?" my mom shouted. "you can't blame the young lad for everything that happened, if you were to be in his shoes, i don't think you will have a clue that someone is planning to end your life" Mr Stanley said
"Mother, the girl was sent by her boss and the boss owns a company in America too but she didn't tell me the name so they obviously knew that i would be coming to Nigeria but they didn't attack me, they allowed live her for about five years before they sent her to finish the job. If i was to be in America, they would have done the same thing and the way the girl even carried her job made me understand that she was definitely skilled" i managed to say admist all the arguments. My mom calmed down for a quick second, seems she is now seeing the situation clearly.
"But can't you track down the guy that introduced her to you in the first place?" my aunt asked, "yes where is the guy who brought her to the party?" my mom asked too. "She has killed him, according to her, the guy disobeyed her boss and he would receive his reward in death" i said. They all looked at me with amazement and i can predict what is going through their mind this very instant but i seriously need a glass of juice and wine, i can't just be talking on a dried throat, the whether is a bit hot but thank goodness the air condition is working fine to provide us with a chilled atmosphere
I stood up and went to the kitchen to get some pineapple juice and i brought them to the table and they all took one each with a glass cup, we made a toast and started drinking but my mom was still worried as her face seemed dull. "How are you that she didn't lie to you, maybe it was just another plan" my mom said, "she didn't lie at all because she used his number to send me a picture of his dead body with a knife in his chest" i replied and brought out my phone to show them the picture.
Aunt Stella nearly vomited when she saw the picture but my mom kept zooming in to see if it's actually real or just another effect, "that girl is just a devil sent from the out of hell" my aunt said with disgust, "none of this surprises me because i predicted that this would happen but thank God you can out of the alive" Mr Stanley said
My mom seemed alarmed by what Mr Stanley said and she turned her attention to him, "you said you knew this would happen?, and you didn't tell my son about it" she said with anger in her eyes. I know she is going to pounce on aunt Stella's husband anytime soon and i I will have to intervene if i don't want another outburst here, "Mr Stanley once slept with her in the past, even before he met Aunt Stella and he somehow tried to point it out to me that she is not a girl that i should date or get married to but i paid deaf ears to him because i thought she must have changed" i replied
She became calm again after i explained things to her, "have you seen a good doctor ever since all this happened?" my mom asked while getting up from her couch to sit besides me, "yes, my gateman took me to a credible hospital and that is where they treated me with care, the injuries will heal within few days so you don't have to worry yourself" I said. I placed my heads on her legs like a little baby, i do miss her love and care but i don't want to stay with her for too long because she is a kind of woman that changes her mood at any given point
"I'm really sorry for what has happened but I hope you will learn from your mistakes not to put all your trust in any friend" my mom said while she rubbed my hair, "I have learnt a great deal from this and i promise it would never happen again" i replied.
"Can you call in that gateman that took you to the hospital, i would like to talk to him and thank him for saving your life" my aunt asked, I picked up my phone ad dialed his number and he rushed down to the living room after picking the call. "Oh, look at the handsome dude who saved my little nephew from the cold hands of death, let me show my appreciation" she said and brought out her cheque book
She gave him a cheque of two million naira and my gateman laid down flat on the floor to appreciate her for her kind gesture, my mother equally brought out some money from her bag and she equally gave him three thousand dollars in cash, wonder how she carries so much money in this her bag. My gateman was so full of joy and just at that moment, Mr Stanley also surprised him with another cheque of two million naira, what a joyful day for this young man
