Chapter 13: Meeting Grandma

Without saying another word he went to the balcony of this floor and looked down to this blissful and brightly lighted city. for how long I'm I really going to wait ? I feel just okay by backing her up from behind without her knowledge.

The phone in his pocket rang the butler's number popped on the screen still contemplating if to answer it or not the call come to an end and the screen turned black. He was still absentminded the incoming call come twice again.

On the third time he decided to pick it up without giving it another thought he heard a sharp voice of her grandmother speaking from the earpiece.

After stopping taking my calls you don't want to pick those from you own household. Grandma I was busy and I'm sorry for not picking your call.

When I'm I going to see my grand daughter- in -law? I want to see you tonight and no excuse you have to come.

Okay I will be there but it might be late. Of course he understood well what her grandmother wanted to talk about. The only thing his beloved grandma wanted was him to get married and have a wife.

Over the past few years she had tried so much by arranging blind dates for him even introducing the ladies of other wealthy families in the city but to no avail did he accept anyone of them.

This elegant and sophisticated ladies some even played dirty tricks so as to get the position of Mrs. Benson. All along none will get his attention nor pity for the effort put into all this. But Karma is real who would have imagined that he also not received any pity from the woman she dearly loved.

Due to his clean record of not having women around him many thought that his system was malfunctioning.

He had to go back and listen to want his dear grandma was to say to him. The grandma was the only person who really cared for him since he was young apart from the time he was in senior high school when Jessica stood up for him.

After his mother passed away his father brought his mistress back home. It was after a few days the funeral was held, the father blindly loved this women. She made her to do the house chores and in case if he messed up things could be bad for him. He could get a beating while the other son his mother was well dressed feed and had many toys to play with. He was denied of food so he eat from the bin when none saw him.

Only one butler in the house had mercy on him and secretly gave him food to eat and help him to do the punishment offered to him by the stepmom. One time the butler was discovered he was made to knee down on the windy and rainy day. The storm was terrible that night which had lightening and was accompanied by thunder.

He cried sobbingly and bitterly begging her mother to let him go but she refused the request he saw the man at the blink of death yet there was nothing he could do. due to pressure of the series of abuse that he underwent he passed out.

If his father angered the wife or denied her anything that he asked of him he would blame and take it all on him. So he lived a fear full life and knew each child who had another mother ways always beaten.

If he saw someone raising his hands up he will curl himself like a millipede because he thought he will be punished again. He learned to survive by obeying all the orders given out.

 This old man almost lost his life if not the timely arrival of his grandma he could have lost his life. After his grandma heard what has been going on she made a decision of raising him by herself, even though they had money still the life was not easy for him.

He was mocked and looked down upon by many his classmates and the friends in their social circle. Many a times he avoided going to gatherings that were held in their home, he could hid himself in the room until the visitors were seen off.

He told himself he had to be better and stronger than anyone so as to survive in the hush environment.

By the time Jessica had already regained consciousness and because he feared for her safety he decided to go with her back to his villa. As soon as they entered the vehicle she fall a sleep immediately. James would occasionally stole a glance at the sleeping beauty the he was with today.

At this time there was no traffic jam in the highway so it just took forty five minutes to his Villa. Soon they were in a three square mansion with a nice flower garden in the front of the villa and a small swimming pool in the backyard.

The pathway that lead to the door of the entrance was decorated with different lighting bulbs. It was was really pleasing to the eyes.

 As soon as the grandma had the roaring of the engine of the vehicle she knew well that he had arrived and exited the house. At the door step he could see his grandson open the door to his surprise it was a woman who alighted from the vehicle

The astonished grandma widely open her mouth and then covered with his hand and hurried returned to the house and waited patiently for them on the sofa. She questioned herself why could this annoying grandson tell me he had someone already.

Now I can have a great grandchild, this child has a lot of surprises for me indeed

In his mind he knew by now the grandma was a sleep and because he had not caught sight of her at the door he led the tired Jessica towards the door way.

The butler open the door for him after he had the door bell ring. The grandma who acted innocent on the sofa got up and quickly held the hand of Jessica

She request one of the maids to offer a glass of juice for but she politely declined . It was the not the first time meeting the grandma of James.
