Chapter 92 Am sorry
Paul thought about it, “James is right, this money means nothing to me if only I was still with the company, I shouldn’t have resigned when I did and now I have to beg for it.”
“Fine, I will do as you said, just pray my mom don’t think towards that direction”
“Your mom that I know will surely think towards that direction” James said because he has already gone to beg on-behalf of Paul but that is the only condition she gave for Paul to get the money.
“I will try my best”
“Look guy, please and please again, don’t go there and prove stubborn, take the money even though it mean sighing to leave Christy, let her be alive first the both of you can settle later”
“Your right, I will just pretend that am willing to let her go, thanks man, you have prove yourself to be a real friend”
“You are welcome, I don’t like seeing you suffering like this”
“Don’t worry everything will be fine and life will go back to normal” Paul said smiling for the first time in a long while.
Paul got home and he was welcomed by his father, he was so surprise to see him.
“But why are you looking like this?” he ask surprised because no one has told him what Paul is going through even though his mother knew, she has refused to tell her husband anything.
“Sit son, I hope all is well!?”
“All is not well dad”
“What about Christy?, Is she ok now?”
“She was ok until I accidentally hit her”
“What do you mean accidentally hit her? I know you can not hit her”
“I was drunk dad, I was drunk out of frustration”
“So where is she?”
“In the hospital, they are asking for five hundred thousand before the operation will be carried out”
“Don’t worry you will get it”
“From where?” his mother finally spoke since Paul entered the house.
“Honey why are you doing this? I regret ever having a joint account with you”
“So are you trying to tell me that I don’t have a say in my own house?”
“No one said that but this is your son”
“A son that insulted
me and disgrace me by marrying a cripple?”
“Mom she’s not cripple”
“Shut up, you still have mouth to talk?”
“Am sorry mom”
“Look, we just have to help him out, and please give him back what is his, that hotel was built for him”
“My money is in that hotel and I will not give it to someone who cannot respect me"
“Mom am so sorry” Paul went on his kneels. “What ever I have done wrong against you please forgive me and accept me back”
“I don’t have a problem accepting you back but not with that cripple”
“But at least give me the money for her operation”
“That will be only on one condition”
“Which is?”
“You will divorce Christy and come back to this house and be the person you are meant to be. You are not poor Paul, stop living like someone who don’t know his worth”
