He walk back to his room not
feeling happy about the decision
of his father to share his property
just yet."
"But I thought that is what you’ve
always wanted his wife ask him."
"Yes, I have always wanted him
to share is property but and
having fun dealing with ken
and Gina."
"How?"
"Withdrawing all those money
is eating them up can’t you see.?"
"I know but you are hurting
others in the process."
"When did you start becoming
this good at caring for other
people."
"Ben am no longer finding this
things funny. Miriam say, I have
children and I don’t want
anything bad to happen to
them."
"When am here? nothing bad
will happen to my children
just relax."
"Anyways, let him share, I will
have the bigger potion, am the
first born and my son is the first
grandson hahaha."
"Miriam just look at him and
shake her head, you will never
change, after all this years you
still hate your brother this much."
"I don’t hate him, but he is too
full of himself, always calming
to be better than me."
*I don’t think so, but am happy
that your father decide to end
this madness."
"Call it whatever but am having
fun hahaha. He laugh and throw
himself on the bed."
They all arrive for the will to be
read.
The lawyer is present everyone
is there but what are we waiting
for? Ben murmured."
"Hold on still everyone, there is
one person left, the lawyer
announce to the whole family."
"Who could that be? There was
murmuring all over the place."
"I hope Jackson is not planning
to surprise us with a third wife,
grace whispered to Tina."
"Let’s just wait a see, and if that
is true I will make this house
unlivable for her."
Victoria walked in with a young
boy the age of 9 and everyone
stood up except Ken.
"What the fuck is this? Where
has she be hiding all this while
and why is shee here? Of course
he knows the answer to that
question but what he didn’t quite
get was why the lawyer say there
is still one person and then
victoria walk in, what are they
planning to do?
"Take your sit, Mr. Jackson
told victoria."
"Thank sir, she said and sat
down."
"What is she doing here? Ken
ask his father."
"The young man there, pointing
at young timothy, is my first
grandson, and victoria is his
mother while Ken here is his
father…
"No way.. Ken shouted, I will not
take that, he said looking at Gina
who didn’t say anything."
"Do you mean to say that boy
is the first grandson of this family?
Ben ask."
"Yes ben, Mr. Jackson said."
"Dad why are you doing this?
Ben ask, I will not take this, my
son Tom is the legal grandson
of this family and that is final."
"Gina got up to leave."
"Please Gina come back please,
I will explain everything is not
the way you see it."
"Fine, go ahead, explain to me
how that boy is the legal first
grandson of this family while
am here parading myself as your
wife? "
"Gina my dear is a long story,
Mr. Jackson cut in, you see Ken
here impregnated Victoria and
refuse to take responsibility
because he loved you. But while
the news of what ken and his
friend one peter, did to victoria
got to me, I decide to look into
the matter.
I send her abroad to go and put
to birth the baby after I have paid
her birth price in behalf of ken
because none of my child will
be called illegitimate child. I
am Mr. Jackson I wouldn’t have
any of my children suffer as if
they have no one to take care of
them. Jackson concluded his
long speech hoping that it will
calm down the hot tempers."
"Good, I will me in my room,
since am not needed here.
Gina said"
"We need you here, everyone
needs you her. Mr. Tina said."
"Gina looked at her and left
the room, ken following after her."
"I will not sit down here and let
someone I don’t know be a first
grandson to my son, Ben shouted
getting up to leave, he took his
wife and left the gathering."
"Mr. Jackson looked at the
lawyer who looked back at him."
"That’s a good start barrister Mr.
Jackson said, let’s give them
time to absolves the information.
I will see you next week."
"Ok sir, I will take my leave, he
got up and gather his paper’s to
leave."
"No..no..no.. please Gina don’t
call your dad, please let’s settle
this issues within please am
begging you as your husband,
ken on his knees begging Gina
for some minute now."
"Your father did what he thinks
was best for you, let me see what
my father will do for me too"
"Please am begging you don’t
do this, am sorry I didn’t have
the mind to tell you, I.I.I was about
to tell you but I couldn’t tell you,
I don’t have anything to do with
her, is peter’s fault, I was drunk
and I didn’t know what happen
next, I promise you I didn’t have
anything to do with her."
"You got someone pregnant and
yet you didn’t have anything to
do with her, am you seriously
expecting me to believe that?
What did you take me for?
A fool?"
"No, my love"
"Don’t you ever call me that,
you go to your first wife am no
longer interested."
"She is not my first wife, I don’t
even know what my father is
talking about."
"Oh yes, you no longer have ears
to hear what your father was
saying. Let me rephrase it for
you. He said that he got her
married on your behalf, and send
her abroad to give birth to his
precious first grandson, oh my
goodness what am I still doing
here.? She start to cry."
"Please don’t cry, Gina I love
you please don’t cry he hug her
but she push him away."
"Come back don’t go please Gina
I love you. Ken keep saying and
crying after Gina."
"Gina took her daughter and
left the Jackson family to go to
her father’s house."
"And where is your wife going?,
Jackson ask Ken."
"Where else do you want her
to go, she is going to her father’s
house of course."
"If she cannot handle her marriage
issues, then she is not fit to get
married in the first place, she
can’t keep running to her father
all of the time."
"Ken looked at victoria and
wonder what she is up to, seeing
the way she smile wickedly
at him."
"What are your plains? He hold
her so tight when no one is around"
"Let go of me, you are hurting
me victoria said."
"I said what are your plains? Ken
ask her again"
"Nothing, am just here for my son."
"which son? Are really sure that
boy is my son?"
"Why don’t you take him to the
hospital to run a text since you
don’t believe me."
"Ken release his hold on her,
pray that what you are saying
is the truth."
"You don’t have anything to say
ken, beside you are not my type.
Victoria said making a face"
"Then just leave, what are you
doing here if am not your type.
Ken wispers since he didn't
want anyone to hear him"
"Like I said, am here for my son,
he needs to know his father and
Mr. Jackson your father has
no problem with that."
"Ken press her on the wall as
he threaten her, just then ben
was passing, he looked at ken
up and down and walk pass them.."
"That guy has lost it, he can’t
even stay away from her even
though there is a huge problem
on his head, so stupid I wonder
how I came to be his brother
idiot, serves Gina right for
rejecting me."
"What is going on my dear. Mr.
George took his daughter inside
the house when they arrive."
"Is my dad Little Tina said."
"What did he do? Did he beats
her?"
"Yes she said."
"Come here Mr. George carried
his grandchild."
"What is going on Gina? and
why are you crying?"
"Is Ken, you were right, the
Jackson family were only
using me, you were right father
is keep crying."
"Now tell me what happen?"
"Ken has a wife I know nothing
about, she only came today as
Mr. Jackson wants to read his
will."
"And why will he wants to read
is will this early Mr. George
ask surprise."
"I don’t know, he just called
everyone and announce that
his lawyer is going to read his
will and that everyone should be
present only for him to surprise
me with ken’s second wife, and
she has a son older than my
child and that of ben, which
means that ken already had him
before we get married."
Mr. George listen with all the
silence in this world trying to
make sense out of what Gina
is saying.
"I don’t think that’s what happen,
in any case I will go and see Mr.
Jackson myself, you are free to
stay here if you want."
"Am not going back to that
house Gina said but her father
didn’t say anything .
