The unexpected guest

"Am home" , Aiden said as he entered his house. He turned his head and saw an unexpected guest. He frowns"tommy" he mutters.

"You're back, that's great Aiden, because we have to talk", theo says with a fake smile.

Aiden face darkens as he sees tommy, and sits down.

Theo faces tommy, "young one can you tell him what you have told me?".

Aiden fixed his gaze at tommy, looking furious.

Tommy began, "I'll say it again, mr elvis, your son here, Aiden, sent people to beat me up, and on that day", he pause and sobs, 'on that day, he says as his voice shakens, my mother died, cause I didn't visit her that night".

"And how old are you", theo asks.

"15",sir.

Theo looks at Aiden,he looks stern,"Aiden do you have anything to say?" .

"He has nothing to say,does the young one even have evidence,he should just go straight to the point".

They turned and saw mrs brenda elvis walking inside the house,her high heels clanking as she walks,her gown that looks expensive,her makeup,well done and adorned with beautiful jewelries.

She walks to theo,"and kisses his cheek from behind" .

She walks and sat close to him,showing no distance and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Young one what's your name" ,she asks with a sly grin.

"Tommy ",he said.

"Tom,tom,tom ,oh well,tom,what do you really want,is it this",she removed an envelope from her bag and stretched it to tommy.

Theo looks at brenda sternly.

"You want money don't you?" ,she asks still with the sly grin on her face.

Tom's eyes are unsettled,"that's not my main reason for_" .

Brenda cuts him off,"yes or no,tom?" .

"Brenda" ,theo scowled.

She turns her face to theo,looks down at his hands and rested her hand on his hand,she interwined her hand with his and looks back at theo's face,"honey just let him answer first" .

"So tom tell us?",brenda asks.

The place was silent,but after a few seconds,tom stuttered ,"y_yes" .

Aiden scoffed and theo shot daggers at Aiden with his eyes.

Brenda clapped her hands,"I see we have everything settled then" .

She stands.

Tommy stood and creased his eyebrows,"mrs elvis,I just said I was beaten up because of your son,aren't you going to say anything?".

"Tom ,dear boy,isn't this settled".

Aiden sighed,"mother he's lying,what's the evidence,you can use against me,to prove am the one. And even though it wasn't done by me,camila paid for his hospital bills".

Aiden brought his body forwards and looks closely at tommy,"you just assumed that it was me ,cause am the only bad person in your eyes".

"Of course it was you!",tommy yelled.

"And if it isn't",Aiden says as he looks at tommy.

"Is no one else apart from you" ,tommy mutters.

Aiden scoffed.

Tommy faced brenda,"the only reason I need this money Is for my mum's burial"." I have an older sister,she's still in high school and she's already suffering enough!",he yells.

Brenda's smile disappeared,"you don't come to my house and yell as you want".

Theo did nothing but watch the drama unfolds before his eyes.

Brenda snapped her fingers and a maid came,she whispers to the maid and the maid walks upstairs.

"Oh my,my condolences tommy, Tom I've figured out you'll need more money". "And if you want more money,you should stop blaming my son for what he didn't do".

The maid came and gave brenda seven wards of cash and brenda drops three wards on the table.

Aiden and theo looks at brenda.Theo scoffsedand shook his head as he looks at her.

"The way the wealthy looks at less privileged individuals",tommy mutters.

She sat and crossed her leg elegantly,she smirked as she drops another one.

"Are you sure you don't want this tommy" ,she dropped another on the table and looked at his face.

She smiled,and added another ward of cash on the table,making it four.

Aiden looked at her, curiously.

She drops another,"are you sure you don't want this?" ,she asked tommy.

Tommy hesitates,"I have pride" .

"Pride?" ,she chuckled and removed a ward of cash from the table,leaving four.

She smiled,"you still have chances tommy" ,she removed another.

"I'll take it!",tommy yelled.

She raised her head up and gave a tight lip smile.

She removed another,leaving it at two.

"I said I'll take it!" ,tommy yelled and hurriedly grabs the two wards of cash from the table.

Aiden smiled and nods his head,like he understands what she did.

Tom glanced at Aiden, looking embarrassed and stormed out of the house.

"Mother,thanks" ,Aiden said as he smiled to brenda.

Theo glanced at him and then at brenda, "I've heard of how you handled things for Aiden,apart of the one I witnessed last time,this is_",he scoffed.

Brenda smiled,"Is that a compliment?".

"Aiden how do you feel?",he asks with a fake smile on his face.

Aiden smiled,"am happy that mother is by my side" .

Theo smile dropped as he looks sternly at Aiden,"have you lost your conscience?" .

He stands as he drags Aiden up from his chair,"I don't know what your mum and camila did to you,but let me tell you,if you continue this shameful attitude, you're no son of mine,the only person that can fix yourself is yourself".

Theo released his hands from him and dragged brenda outside.

"What!what are you doing!,ah my hands hurt!",she yelled as she's dragged outside.

"Just what the hell was that,huh!?" ,theo yelled,wide-eyed.

"What do you mean by that,I was simply protecting my son".

"What do you mean you mean your son,what the hell are you teaching him",he asked furiously.

"Well ,what do you expect me to do,what if the boy was lying,he wants money,I simply gave him".

Theo shook his head.

Brenda took a deep breath,"fine am sorry" ,she raised her arms to put it around his shoulders but theo shoved it away and walks back inside.
