A nock on the door brought
back the two lovers to reality.
“What? Ken ask the servant.”
“Your dad wants to see you.”
“Gina looked at ken who looked
back at her, so quick?”
“Go.go..go.. Gina push Ken towards
the door.”
“Yes!, thank goodness he is going
to work yea!!”
Ken left Gina in the room.
“Don’t go anywhere am coming
right back ok.”
“Ok my love Gina said and Ken
widening his eyes love? Wow
that sounds good.
Yea just go your dad is waiting
for you.
“Ok, ken said and left.
“are you sure you are ready to
work Mr. Jackson asked Ken
because he never thought a day
like this will come when his son
will like to work, and ken of all
people, even though any of his
sons will like to work, he never
thought that person would be ken,
if it was Benjamin he would
have believe it but this is a
miracle.
“Now tell me why you want to
work in my company.”
“Because I think I should be
more useful to this family or
don’t you think so? He ask his
father, who was surprise at the
question.
Yes, why not, then you start
work tomorrow, you are hired.
Yes!, thank you dad, I promise
never to let you down.
I should be going now father.
Sure, you are free to go, see you
at the office tomorrow.
Or sir,
Ken left his father’s presence
with joy written all over his face.
Am starting work tomorrow ken
announce to Gina, immediately
he enters the room.
Yeaa.. she shouted and hug ken,
then he hug her back, is as if
they have known each other for
a long time, ken just keep playing
along and trying so hard not to
talk about something that will
make Gina react and leave his
house in anger again, he doesn’t
want to offend her any further.
So what are you planning to do
at work for the first day?
I don’t know I have not work
before, so I don’t know, I guess
my dad will tell me what to do
when we get to the office.
Yea, my first day at work was
not difficult because I have be
trained for the work even before
I started.
Really?, my dad have never ask
me to go to work with him before,
he does all the work himself.
Wow, he must have loved you
guys so much.
Yea, I guess so. But that doesn’t
mean he should keep everything
away from us till now.
Anyways be glad he has finally
said yes to you working.
Yea, am glad and thanks to you.
Me? Why.
You were the one who motivated
me to work.
Really?
Yea.
Ohh.. that means you own me
one.
Yea, I think so, and thank you
for coming.
You are welcome.
Well I think I should go, Gina
said but Ken wasn’t willing to
let Gina go.
Please stay longer, I can’t stay
in this big house along.
But you are not alone, you have
your mother and father, the maids
and your brother.
I know but all this people you are
mentioning can’t keep me
company, I feel different when
am with you.
I don’t know how my dad will
feel if I stay over in your house.
"Let me call him and let him
know you are with me."
No..no..no.. I will do the
calling. Gina said
Really? Thank you.
Gina took her phone and call
her father informing him she
will be spending the night at
Ken place.
Just be careful, I don’t want to
hear any complain.
Yes sir, I will be very careful.
What did he mean by be careful?
Ken ask himself does this man
think am about to emmm.. No
way.. far be it am not going to do
anything that she did want to
do, ken keep telling himself and
smiling.
And why are you smiling? Gina
ask ken when she drop the call.
Nothing I was just amuse by your conversation.
Ok, so what’s funny about it.
I mean why is your father telling
you to be careful? Did he think
am going to eat you all up?
No… he was just concerned.
Hmm. Don’t worry I will go gentle
on you.
What? Will you stop that? Hahaha
oh.., mine you are sure a bad boy.
Really? Come here let me show
you how bad I can be. He got up
to catch Gina but she ran and
they start running round ken’s
room.
What! He can’t do that, ben foam
with anger, I have been waiting
for so long for him to call me on
board but no, he always favor’s
ken over me.
Stop it ben his mother said.
Don’t tell me to stop, I will not
allow that to happen.
Will you listen to me ben, he
mother yell at him.
What are you saying mom? That
I should keep quite while ken
takes over everything?
And who said he is taking over
everything?
Can’t you see the way everything
is going, dad always favor’s ken
and his mother.
That’s not true, if there is
anything ken will ever take, it
will be his own share. So you
don’t have to worry about him
taking over everything. Beside I
will take to your father this night.
You better talk to him oo, before
I do something all of us will regret,
he warns his mother and walk out.
When did I raise a son like ben?
His mother start wondering
because ben is gradually turning
into a monster, I must do
something before things get out
of hands, I started this whole
thing and I have to put an end to
this hatred ben needs to
understand that ken is his brother
and Mr. Jackson must help me
to stop this now.
Ben nock at ken’s door interrupting
the lover’s moment.
Yes how may I help you ken ask
ben when he open the door.
You can’t help me, but am here
to tell you that whatever you and
your mother are scheming this
time will not work just bear that
in your mind.
If you don’t have anything
important to tell me just leave
my present ken told ben and
close the door but ben push the
door open.
You need to watch your back bro.
Whatever.. ken said and close
the door with force then he
remember that the door was once
pull off by ben but he can’t
remember why the door was
pull off.
Ken are you ok?
Gina got up from the bed to
meet ken at the door.
Am fine, let’s go back, he held
Gina by the hand and lead her
back to the position they were
before ben interrupted them.
Ben’s mom visit her husband’s
room the next minute.
My husband please help me in
solving this problem that I created
without knowing.
And what problem are you talking
about? Mr. Jackson ask surprised.
Is about ben, he has started again.
What did he do this time.
He wants to pick a fight with
ken again.
Over what?
You ask ken to start work
tomorrow but what about ben?
Why did you call him on board
too.
What? Is that a problem with me?
If he want to start work today then
so be it, is that something to
fight over, call him for me, he
ordered.
Yes dad,
Ben you have been the most
responsible son to me, why do
you want to turn into something
else?
I am not turning into something
else, I need my fair share.
Which is? Mr. Jackson ask ben.
I should be the one controlling
the affairs of the company by
now because am the first born
of this family.
I agreed with you, but thing are
not going to be done that way,
who will control the affairs of the
company will be determined my
me, so you have to be more
patience with me.
Tomorrow you and ken will be
resuming to work so get ready.
Ok sir, ben said and walk out of
his father’s room with a long
face.
What has come over this boy?
Mr. Jackson ask his wife?
Please take it easy on him, I know
he will change.
You better talk to him, I want
both of my sons to handle my
company, I don’t like all this division
in my house, I think is time for
me to take matters into my hands.
I have wanted for them to grow
up for so long, but thank
goodness ken is gradually
becoming a man I just hope he
change for good.
Don’t worry my dear husband
everything will be fine.
I want to take you somewhere
ken told Gina.
Where are you taking me?
Don’t ask just follow.
Ok,
The arrival at peter’s place.
Mann…, what are you doing? Peter
takes Ken aside and start talking
sense into him.
I thought we are done with this
Gina girl and you need to move
on bro.
What are you talking about ken
