PREV.....

Sam- Father, what do you mean by that,

MR Daniels- I should pay them a visit, in that way, we can build a very strong bond, what do you say son( he looks at Given who is utterly shocked)

Given- I am not sure if that would be possible....( MR Daniels interrupts)

MR Daniels- That is madness, you will soon be part of this family, there is no such thing, one more thing, I think you should take Sam to meet your family, that would be very nice. He has to meet them at some point,

Sam- Father, I believe it's still soon to be visiting his home don't you think....

Said Sam as he continuously gazed at Given whom was very shocked indeed. Well, how can't they be shocked when the old man was already arranging impossible things. It was not a very wise idea to get both families in their affairs because they were not even real. MR Daniels even requested for Givens parents phone numbers and there was no way that Given would say no, or even give him the wrong ones.

The two stayed with Givens father for a while and then they said their goodbyes. Thinds were not looking good, Given was finally worried for the first time in his life. He didn't want his parents nor his family to know about his relations with Sam. Only his brother knew a bit but he just knew that they were very close, nothing much.

The problem was that they were from two different families, Sam was from a family where homosexual people were a norm but Given was from a family where they were not accepted hence he decided to leave everything behind and start afresh, so now approaching them and telling them that he had a partner, it wasn't a good idea at all.

The moment they left, MR Daniels gave Givens father a call.

AT THAT MOMENT

MR Daniels- Hello there,

MR Samuel- Hello , who am I speaking to,

MR Daniels-Its MR Daniels here, all the way from Johannesburg, the owner of the Daniels collections,

MR Samuel- Oh, I hear you MR, I've heard a lot about you. You did a good job with the empire you have build,

MR Daniels- It was due to hard work and dedication I tell you. By the way, I am Sam's father, he is a really close friend to your son I tell you,

MR Samuel-MY son you say, which one would that be,

MR Daniels- Given of course, 

MR Samuel- I am listening,

MR Daniels- I was thinking that since both our sons were in good terms, it would be better for their families to also be in good terms, what do you say my friend.....

MR Samuel- I believe I forgot to introduce myself here, you are talking to chief Samuel, all the way from Limpopo and in my house, it is an abomination for men to be close to men so let this be the last time you are calling me regarding that disgrace of a son, he left what belongs to him here which is the throne in order to be with that son of yours I believe,

MR Daniels- Um, I don't think I quite unders.....( MR Samuel interrupts)

MR Samuel- I've already cut ties with that boy so please, I have important things to take care of, bye!

Said Givens father as he hung up the call. Well, MR Daniels was not expecting that at all. He thought he was just going to have a smooth talk with a real family guy but little did he know what was waiting. 

And on the other side Sam along with Given decided to visit the mall , it was all part of the publicity stunts they were doing, and trust me, everything was literally working out just fine. This is proven by the amount of sales Sam got during the event. So, you might believe it when I say that he was no longer on the bad side of the town, even May seemed to have given up. OR had she.

The two then went to the mall while the guards remained in the car, it was actually an order from their boss, nothing much. So, in they went and there Sam told Given that they should get matching outfits, but Given had other plans.

AT THAT MOMENT

Given- I don't think we should carry on doing this,

Sam- Doing what?

Given- Sir, your father is very serious about this whole thing and if he finds out that we are lying he would be very disappointed,

Sam- We haven't done anything yet and if we just stop, people would notice and start to think that I was just playing you and a bad cloud will be on my head again, I don't want to loose everything, no, I refuse.

Given-Think about me then, if my family finds out they would be furious and yet you only think about yourself!

Sam- Do not raise your voice towards me kid!! I am still your boss, and you must listen when I speak, how dare you !!

Given-But...

Sam- No buts, I am your boss you hear me, now we are going back home to talk about this, we are in public for goodness sake, you are ruining my picture.

Said Sam as he took Given by the hand and they went back to the car before they could even buy anything. Sam was very furious at this moment.
