Chapter 233: Something Fishy

Yes, I think that they should have told him, we spent a little time in his house, he at least deserves to know, ok, what if we were serial killers or even worse, assassins, he never doubted our personality, he trusted his wife to make the right choice yet she lied to him, even his own daughter Cynthia who later found out she still did not let him know.

"Ehm... Honey, don't worry ok, I will let you know later."

Aunty Paula said, she tried to use her normal way of ending the discussion the other days, but this time it did not work, it seem like the technique was already becoming old school.

"What are you talking about? You will tell me when? Later? The same later that you were always supposed to tell me things? The same later that you will end up telling me stories? Listen let me tell you. There is no later this time, you are telling me what I want to know and you are telling me now. And I will like you to start by telling me who that creepy reach man I let into my house was, the one that looked very exactly like Damian, the one called Gold...Gold something, yeah, you even called him king, who is he? I will like to understand the kind of people you let into my house when I am not around. 

"Like seriously? Did he come into this house? Please, my brother, do not be mad at them, they have no clue how he came infielder, yes, it is true that they were the ones who opened all the gates and door for him, you know, he is quite a magician if you ask me, I had my house stuffed with a military battalion and he still came in, he literally took down all of them without raising and arm, in fact, you can not believe that it was their commandant himself who opened the gate for him to come in, and he joined the rest of the battalion to sleep off, and it was also my chef who ran out of my Kitchen just to open the door for him to come in and she fell asleep immediately after she opened the door. So do not mind them on that, they were just and only been used by the man, who calls himself a merman, the king of Atlantis."

Fake dad said, and he laughed, now Mr. Bright also joined in the laughing. The situation is just funny to hear in the first place. But the truth will always remain that just beneath the ocean, there are these people who because of their nature can not survive for too long on land, and there are us, the humans who will definitely die if spend too much time underwater, well, I guess that one is for only typical humans not my kind who can successfully coexist with the two kinds, I can survive underwater, just as I can survive Inland.

"My husband, it's true that I have concealed a lot of truth from you, but trust me, I can't lie to you, I only kept that because it was not on my side to say, don't worry, let us wait until it is seven AM. By then Juliet must have been up then we will all go to her house then you will hear everything with your ears, just as it is and was."

Aunty Paula said to her husband who was a very understanding person and all that was almost seeming like a fight just died down and they sat in wait. For fake dad, each second ticks after an hour, the time was too slow for him, it was like everything froze, he kept checking his expensive-looking wristwatch, he even check it like twice before each second.

It was just a few minutes after seven when we heard the car horn, I was still in the bed squeezing and grabbing my soft pillow which dad newly got, almost everything in the house was new, it was only but a few stuff that was left unchanged, it was quite surprising how dad managed to do all of this in quite a short time. If not that fact that Cynthia and Aunty Paula was here while everything was going on, I would have said that all of these were done by magic, but I will rather borrow Cynthia's words which she said in the Nigerian parlance, "Omo, nothing wey money no go fit do." By this, she meant 'there is nothing that money can not achieve'.

According to her, every time either she or her mom makes a choice, dad will place an order, and in less than 30 minutes the goods are ready, and the painters were busy painting, so was the tiling going on, even those who were mounting the gates were also mounting and the people in charge for the decoration was also doing their job.

So, that very morning, when the beeping was going on, though I heard it, and I am sure that mom did as well, but it's just that we were not used to being beeped at, I only know if mom comes home from work, and she doesn't even have to horn, I already know the sound of the zoom of her car, and just like you already know, we were yet to get used to the gate thing, and even if we were, I was so enjoying the cozy bed to just jump up and run to the gate to open, even though the care horn kept beeping repeatedly I still find my way to curl myself in my beg and under my duvet, it was only after when Cynthia called my phone that I had to fully wake up, her call sent me this high rush of adrenalin. With my eyes still closed, I dabbled around the bed with my hand to grab the phone, when I finally got the phone, I looked the see who was calling, and behold, it was my Cynthia who was calling, immediately I saw her call I jumped up with my heart skipping some bests.
