Chapter 228: Perfect Match

"Awwn, so sweet of you, you are such a nice King.."

Aunty Paula said, all that dad said gave everyone an eye-popping experience, even Cynthia gave me this surprise stare, for me, I was just dumbfounded, I looked at dad in awe, I just couldn't believe my ears, these are the most expensive places in the whole of Nigeria.

"Wait, wait, wait. Did I hear you right? Am I hearing you correctly? You said you got what houses? where? How? With which money? Do you spend Naira currency in that place where you came from, please say some believable lies, what are you even talking about? Did you rub the CBN? Where will you get all the money from?'

Mom said doubtfully, for a fact, it truly sounded untrue, more like fairy tales.

"Hahahaha... Juliet, you don't cease to amaze me. Yes, it is true that we do not spend money beneath the sea, but all currency is sourced from my kingdom, being the king of the Atlantis gives me access to any currency, trust me, your currency, your money is sourced from the Atlantis."

So dad said.

"Ehmm... Antique,"

Dad called out looking at one of the three guards. And he matched to him very fast and square before him saying.

"You called on my lord, here I am."

"Go and get all the house and land deed in the car, I mean all, bring it fast."

Dad said to the man and he swiftly left, he walked to the door almost as swift as a flash, the young man was really fast, before the twinkle of an eye he was already out. 

"He will bring them to you in a short while."

Dad added, he was talking to mom this time, mom who still cared less about what he was saying.

"I mean... Tell me what you really want. You and U know that all you are saying that you did is just supposed to make me less angry when you say what you want."

Mom said. At that moment when she said this, I wondered why it was so difficult to please mom, despite all that dad did, mom still prefer to see him as a demon. I even almost asked her why she was being so difficult but dad stopped me by proving mom's theory right.

"Ok, you got me. Yeah, it's true, Atlantis need him, they need to meet their Prince, they all need to be sure that I have a sun, else, I will be losing my throne to my sister. He has to come over to the sea for his initiation, he has to meet his s and get initiated, and no, I am not here to take him home now, he will stay on earth a little while, and he will be needed home on the 1st of January 2022."

"What? Really? Are you even serious? You came here to take my son?"

Mom asked looking terrified, she looked at me, held me by the head, dragged me towards her, and kissed my forehead, she held me by the head saying.

"My boy, you are not going to leave me, will you? Please tell me that you won't let him buy you, listen to me, I might not have enough for now, but I promise that I will get you everything thing you need and more."

Mom cried while she said this, I couldn't stand it,  my heart broke just by seeing her cry, but stillstand it, it was kind of embarrassing, Cynthia was there, how can she just go on crying like she was home alone. You know, crying is often ok when you are alone, or when you are just you and that one person.

"Mom, mom, mom!!!"

I whispered to her as I tried to communicate silently to her.

"Stop it mom, stop this."

I whispered.

"No, tell me, tell me Damie tell me my sweet heartbreak, are you ever going to leave me?"

It seem that all my effort to calm her down was a waste of time, now I had no option but to tell her that which she wants to hear.

"Mom, you know you don't have to ask me that, you know that I will never leave you for anyone, it is you and I forever. No one can ever take your place in my heart."

So I said to her, now mom wore this smile as she looked at dad with confidence.

"You may try waterman, you may try, let me see you take my boy away from me."

Mom said to dad.

Dad with his magical smile said things no human could understand, he communicated to me with his smile, and that smile gave me this feeling that I just lied to mom, more like Dad eas so certain that when he needed me he will get me, here I am in the middle of a fight between mom and dad. You know, I have been craving a dad lately, but this is definitely not what I expected. Not too long, the man that dad called Antique whom he had sent to go and get the papers came back in with a bunch of peppers.

You see, I just realized that even without the fact that mom and dad cannot live together because of the land and sea differences, I also found out that they were so not compactible, it was mom and fake dad that was truly a match, too bad it had to come to ruin because of me and dad, but that day after I had realized this, I promissed myself that I will surely make sure that I will fix the problem between them.
