What??? Ben side of the family
all chorus.
"Why will it be our own quarters?"
Ben ask
"And why will I live with you?"
Miriam ask Gina.
"Well, you know the answer to that,"
Gina told Miriam.
"I don’t want to share the same
house with anyone."
"But on a second thought I think
is a good idea", Ben said.
"I know you will agree to this",
Miriam said and walk out on
the family gathering.
"What did I say wrong"? Gina ask.
Ken didn’t want to say anything
because he knows why Miriam
is acting that way, is because of
him, seeing ken everyday will
only bring back the memories
she has be trying so hard
to forget.
The meeting ended without
getting to a good conclusion.
"What was that for", Ben ask Miriam,
why did you walk away from
everyone?"
"I don’t want to share a house
with them."
"Why?"
"Because I don’t want".
"I know why, is it because of Ken"?
"And what do you mean by that?"
"I know is because of ken,
you too..
"You are mad…, Miriam call Ben
out of anger. "are you trying to
insult me?"
Ben gave Miriam a slap and they
start fighting over Ken’s issue.
"You are a married woman and
you are supposed to forget anything
to has to do with my brother."
"Who told you I have something
to do with your brother?", they
quarrel,
Princess rush to call granny to
come and rescue her mother.
"Granny, they are fighting again.
My mom and dad."
"What will I do with those two,"
she get up to go to Ben, room.
"Open this door, both of you open
this door. Where is boy, guards,
come and help me break this door."
The guard was afraid to break
down his boss’s door, rather he
start knocking, please sir open
the door, granny ma was to
come in.
"Is that what I ask you to do? I
say break that door."
They were there auguring about
breaking the door when finally Ben
open the door, but Miriam use
that opportunity to hit Ben on
the head and he fainted.
"What have you done?, you kill
my son?"
"Daddyy…… princess start crying
please dadyyy, wake up, Grace
rush Ben and ask the guards to
call for ambulance, they rush
ben to the hospital but he wake
up on their way to the hospital.
"What happen to me.?"
"Is your wife who wants to kill
you today."
"Am going to kill her first, where
is she?"
"She’s at home."
Miriam pack all her cloths and
left the Jackson mansion back to
her house.
Two days later Ken want to the
hospital to see ben.
"Bro what is this? How did this
happen.?"
"Is my wife, we had a little
argument that’s all."
"You call this a little argument?
You are in the hospital ben, that
does not seem like a little thing
to me, anyways
how are you doing.?
"Am fine, at least am a little bit
away from all the troubles".
"So how did you see the
suggestion my wife gave, is it
ok with you guys?"
Ben didn’t know how to explain
to ken that it was that suggestion
that made in lay down on this bed.
"I see nothing wrong with it, but
my wife is not in support of it, so I
guess is a No."
"Is ok, am cool with that, let’s
just keep finding a way to go
around the matter."
"What if we borrow from another
bank to buy off the debt then when
we got hold of our inheritance,
we pay back."
"That is going to be a long story"
Ken said. I will see you later, he
left the hospital.
"Heyy.. Miriam long time no see,
what brings you to this area? One
of the boys said when she was
seen going to her beauty shop.
"I only got married, I didn’t die
there."
"Aha, why are you angry at me?,
I only ask you a question."
"Must you ask question all the
time?"
"Sorry ooo, I see you are not in
good mode today, am going to
see the boss."
"Say me hi to him."
"Ok,"
"Boss, I saw Miriam today at
her shop, but she didn’t seem
like a happy woman."
"And how would you describe
a happy woman? Get out of my
way, Miriam is a big girl now,
she can take care of herself."
"Ok boss, I told her not to marry
that guy, now look what he has
turn her into, a saddest, I wanted
to marry her, but she needed a
rich guy now see yourself."
"Why are you talking to yourself?"
the boss ask.
"Nothing boss."
"If is about Miriam, is she
looking horrible?"
"Looking horrible how?"
"Yea, because of the way you
are so worried about her one will
be force to think she is a walking
dead. Hahahaha"
"Boss that is not funny."
"Yea, that is why I always tell you
to forget about her, she is not
into you, let me go and see her."
"Heyy.. boss, Miriam greeted
and offer him a sit."
"Hmmm, seeing you in your
shop this days, I hope all is well."
"Yes.. No…"
"Ok, yes, no, which one is it?"
"Is no, all is not well boss, am
really tired of this whole thing
call marriage."
"Ok, why don’t you tell me, because
I have not been married before,
I only have three kids with three
different women, I don’t know
what it looks like to be married."
"You have three kids, so where
are they? Miriam ask, she has
never known the boss to have
any kids, and that is why she
always thought he is treating her
like his own daughter even
though she didn’t have parents.
Where are your three children?
I will like to meet them."
"The boss took out one stick
of cigarette and light it, puff the
smoke it into the air.
This is one secret he has
always wish to take to his grave,
because he didn’t want Miriam
to know that he is her real father.
He wanted Miriam to be a good
person, that is why he was so
happy when she decide to go
and work as a maid at the
Jackson and to crown his joy,
she even got married to the
son of the wealthiest man in town,
but that is not what happiness
is all about I guess.
"Boss, you are not saying
anything, I said I will like to
meet them."
"And then what? He suddenly
turn to Miriam with a straight face.
What do you want to do with
them? Do you want to leave
me too?"
"Leave you?, am not going
anywhere", Miriam suddenly find
herself saying this words.
"Then forget them, they made
a choice to go with their mother,
so that is no longer my business,
he said even though he knew
that he was the reason why
they left him.
Enough with my problems,
what are you? What is going on?
"I don’t know, I hit my husband
on the head, he is now in the
hospital."
"Hospital!! and you are here?
, get up quick go to him."
"Why will I do that?, he almost
kill me."
"Kill you? And you didn’t call me?
let me go there and teach him a
lesson. Wait a minute, when
you say kill you did you mean he
use a gun or a knife?
"No… why will he use a gun
on me.?"
"So how was he trying to kill you?"
"We were just fighting."
"Then is not killing, is just
fighting, you need to go back to
him, staying here makes you
look single, and this bad boys
around here will start looking
your way."
"Why will they do that? And
beside you are always here to
protect me."
"Yea,… but you see, I might not
always be available to protect
you the way you think, so is wise
that you go back to your
husband’s house."
"And that is the problem, my
husband don’t have any house."
"What do you your husband
don’t have any house? Mr.
Jackson is one of the top
business men in town."
"Yea, that is what we always
hear, look that is all in paper, in
real life, he has nothing."
"No, I don’t believe you, I was
doing a research on him, that
man has a lot of money."
"Fine, that is what the papers
will tell you but, he use the
banks money to run those
businesses, and now that he
is dead, the bank wants their
money back. And they are about
to take over the mansion.
My own inheritance in 50million,
but I cannot take it until the
bank’s money is fully paid."
"What? 50 million, and you
can’t withdraw because of bank.?"
"Yes, that is what am saying
and now my husband and I are
having problems"
"No, that is what I cannot
accept."
"What?" Miriam ask.
"You cannot have problems
with your husband at this time,
50 million!! Do you think is child’s
play to have 50 million even
though you can’t withdraw
it now?"
"So is the money for you?
That is all you care about".
