his is your father

Louis laughed when he heard her question. For a smart girl like herself, she was very slow in connecting all the loose ends of his story, he thought.

"You know that already," Louis said, he could not bother himself telling her.

Iyare was going to ask what he meant by that but the DNA test results in the board room yesterday flashed through her mind.

"You played some tricks about the DNA result right?" She asked trying to calm her raging heart down.

Louis shakes his head to mean No. If the test results are real it means she buried her biological Dad today Iyare's mouth open in shock.

"How..."

"How... Is that possible?"

"If he is my biological dad, then tell me what favor are you doing for me. Everything I have now belongs to me" Iyare said.

"I agree but you would have been dead if I have not saved you. There are very few coincidences in the world."

"I also created the time and chance for your biological father to find out about your existence" Louis answered. Louis has kept his eye on Iyare since bet with the God of love. The girl has a strong spirit she could not easily be broken. He has been making plans since she was born, he had done a lot of interference in her life to build hatred in her mind.

Some children would have attempted suicide because of how they were been treated by their families. Not Iyare she has never entertained that thought. She away keeps hope alive. People with such spirits were hard to come by and Louis believes that he could turn her pure heart into evil.

"Tell me about it?" Iyare asked.

" Mr. Onasa has been looking for your grandparents for years. After he learned about your mother's supposed death. He felt your grandparents will be heartbroken."

" He knew your mother was their only child but he was still scared of making contact with Ng."

" Five years ago he decided to find your grandparents. He wanted to know what happened to them after your mother's death. He wanted to take care of them if they were still alive. He decided not to get his trusted subordinate involved since he already had a family to take care of. He did not want him to come to any danger if his boss was still out there since he intended to make communication with country Ng"

"He hired a private investigator who came down in search of them. But your mother had already moved a lot of houses and even changed cities. The detective was one of the customers you attended to when you worked as a waiter in a restaurant."

"He has tried to put different cues together but could not find your grandparents. since they were just normal people who could be anywhere in the world."

"Your mum wanted to forget all about your dad. so she had caught off all contact with the city she and your dad meet and anyone there. she thought he was dead and so she could not continue to bear the pain.

"About a year ago the investigator noticed you sitting in a daze looking at something on your phone. He became curious and peeped into your phone screen. He was shocked to see you looking at the picture of a woman that looked like the person he has been searching for, for the past five years."

" He decided to investigate and find out more about you. At least he needed to confirm the woman he was looking for, was not the same as the one on your phone. But your grandmother was already dead at that time."

" Fortunately a few months ago the private investigator realized that your mother was the woman who was reported dead years ago."

" When your father received this information about your mother being alive. He concluded that his formal boss might have discovered your mum and tried to kill her. He trusted his subordinate blindly and never thought it had anything to do with him. Since your mother knows about his boss she might have actually acted dead to save her life."

" Your father blames himself for being such a coward. He felt particularly sad when he learned of her suffering. He was at least happy that she was alive. He should have investigated her death long ago he scored himself."

" Your father asked the detective to find out every single detail about her and send it to him. Which the detective put together. As your father went through the file your age caught his attention."

" So he decided to read about you, you were given birth nine months after he left, so he felt there was a possibility that you were his daughter since she only married her new husband six years later."

" A month before he died the private investigator got a sample of your hair and a DNA test was carried out" Louis explained.

Iyare was surprised at the revelation. All this while someone has been following her around. A sample of her hair was even taken and she knew nothing about it.

"Your father fell into a dilemma, he did not know what to do. In fact, he bought a ticket once and visited Ng but he could not come close to your mother or you."

"He cursed himself for being too late. while he was still thinking of approaching your mum, you returned from work. He was shocked at the endowment you were given. The bad luck of the family."

"He knew very well your mother called you that because he never returned as promised. He had stayed single all those years because of how much he loved your mother but he never thought your mother would curse the day she meet him."

"He never expected her to call the fruit of their love bad luck. He did come back, he just couldn't find her."

"He returned to Ua early than scheduled and had a meeting with his legal team. Before he found out about your existence, he had willed his properties to his godson. But he felt it was best to will everything to you for all the suffering you and your mother have been through because of him. He could not face you or your mother in this lifetime."

" So he thought it was best for you to find out about him when he left the world. He kept the news about his finding a secret. Not even his godson or his trusted subordinate knew about you until he died and his will was read," Louis explained.

"How did his godson take the changes in the will," Iyare asked. Louis's lips curl up into a smile. How much he loves giving bad news. Especially the type that turns humans into enemies.

Well, it is not his fault that humans are selfish and greedy. "The changes in that will, caused the fire in your house on your birthday," Louis answered.

Iyare was not stupid she understood everything, as soon as Louis said this. How could people be so selfish, that house was the only property her family had. They could have changed the will or created some false documents but no they decided to kill instead.

"The morning of the incident you made a wish and I decided to grant it. Of course, the god of fate agreed to give you that chance on the condition that I don't force you to take it."

"So I brought you back and straight to Ua but I can't force you to take this chance, you will have to choose it."

" What happened to his trust subordinate?" Iyare asked with a tight fist, all this was that man's fault she was going to start with him.

" That trusted subordinate is Mr. Charles. His son is your father's godson, the one your father willed everything to before he found out of your existence."

" Your father handed over ten percent of the company's share to Mr. Charles but the man wants everything," Louis said.

She already felt something strange about that Mr. Charles. She could guess where the brown envelope came from now.

If she took this chance will she be a match for all the enemies here? Or will she just end up losing her life again without a fight?

She knew nobody here who she could trust.

Louis saw through her dilemma and he smiled, all he has to do now is confirm that she will get her revenge and she will jump at his deal.

"Humans are so predictable," he muttered to himself.

....
