Later in the night when we were already
sleeping around 11.pm or so, I had a call from an unknown caller. I just
managed to pick up and the following conversation ensued.
Me: Hello
Caller: Let this sound as a clear warning
to you, stay away from Mirabel effective from this hour. And if you chose not
to, I promise to make life unbearable for you. This is Marcus and my words
don’t come back to me empty without accomplishment…like I said earlier, it’s a
clear warning.
**Hangs up**
**Hangs up**
All what he said was like a dream to me
that night because I was so weak and sleepy that I just fell back to bed.
I woke up the following morning thinking
about the call from Marcus last night; I checked my phone to review my call
history, then I realized it wasn’t a dream but real. I talked with Mirabel
about it, she felt uncomfortable about it. I told her not to fret that he can’t
do anything that’d make me bow.
We went to School and came back in the
evening because a Lecturer shifted his period to 4.pm and made the day a
stressful one. Later in the evening, I had a video chat with Ike (Mirabel’s
cousin). The following conversation ensued after exchanging pleasantries.
Ike: So… are you earning on your own as a
business student?
Me: Nope
Ike: Have you thought about the kind of
business you want to engage in from now?
Me: Not yet, I’ll think about it more after
school
Ike: Are you kidding? After school? So
you’ll keep depending on your parents till you graduate?
Me: Seems so, I mean they’re capable
Ike: I’m not talking parental capability
mahn! I stopped receiving a cent from my billionaire parents even before I got
into college. I earned my first million dollars at age 19. Wake up mahn! You
start your career and future now not after you start growing matured beards or
something.
Me: Ok I’ll think about it
Ike: Do you have anything in mind?
Me: Hhmmm… not really
Ike: What about your passion or visions of
life?
Me: I have them but they’re not something I
can start with here in the University
Ike: Which are?
Me: Building a business empire in summary
Ike: That’d require a lot of capital to
begin with as well
Me: Yea
Ike: And how do you intend to raise the
capital to finance it after you graduate?
Me: **Speechless**
Ike: See what I’m saying? You need to be
productive and career-focused from now then you begin your establishment after
school
Me: Whoa… I come I never thought about
this? Thanks a lot mahn; I’ll start thinking about it from today
Ike: Too late already
Me: What?
Ike: To me, you’re already late. Now look
at this; you’re already in your second year and you have two years to graduate
right?
Me: Yea
Ike: Ok now look at it, before you think
about what to do, before you start doing whatever it is you want to do and
before you start earning handsomely? Two years won’t be enough believe me
Me: So what do you think I should do?
Ike: Good! I’ve decided on handing over the
ownership of one of my top-earning websites to you to begin with**Smiling**
Me: Really?
Ike: Yea
Me: Whoa… that’s awesome, thanks a lot
Ike: The market price of the site is worth
$2.7 million
**Both my eyes and my mouth opened up wide
in shock**
Ike: **Continued** you earn a monthly
income of about $24,000 even more as much as you manage it well
Me: For real?!
Ike: Yea and I’ll partner with you for the
next six months with no benefit so I can be able to put you through on how you
can run the site effectively.
Me: Thanks so much bro, I really appreciate
this; I really can’t thank you enough
Ike: Come on mahn, I’ve empowered so many
youths I don’t even know; besides being my sister’s boyfriend, you’re also my
friend Ok? So just chill and start preparing for your future
Me: This is great; I shall forever be
grateful for this favor
Ike: It’s okay…you will have to text me
your email address so I’ll send everything you’ll need to know about the site
and how to run it and I’ll also arrange how you’ll be getting your money.
Me: Ok bro, I’ll do that right away
I texted him my email address without
wasting time; then I started thinking about it with excitement and astonishment.
If I should save such kind of income in three years, I know what I’ll get.
My future is sure! Vames Empire On The
Way!! I screamed out loud. I couldn’t even eat that night. I bought suya and
ate it with hollandia yoghurt ( deaf hear).
I woke up the following morning and the
first thing that came into my mind was my new source of income. I couldn’t even
focus on my morning reading because of it and we have test that day.
Later in school, I told Mirabel about Ike’s
offer; she was happy for me. She called her cousin that moment to appreciate
him. After the test, we had another lecture before rounding up for the day. I
was so eager to go home; even when I was in the lecture hall, business ideas
kept roaming through my head.
I had to drop by an eatery to buy something
to eat because Nancy remained in school; she has lecture. On reaching the
house, I had to drop down and open the gate as no one was around. I drove in,
alighted from the car to go and close the gate only for me to turn around and
saw someone with a big scar on his fore-head.
Intruder: Hi, I’m Marcus **Gbow!!**
He accompanied the introduction with a
punch straight to my nose; I shifted backward but another intruder behind me
pushed me forward to receive a kick from Marcus, but I pushed his (Marcus) leg
away. I quickly turned around with a punch hit to the face of the guy behind me
– he shifted backwards as well. Two other guys came along to get me down. On
seeing them, I adjusted a little to balance myself while they rushed me with
punches from all angles till I fell to the ground.
While on the ground, I tightened my fist
then rose up and hit one of them straight to the jaw (Uppercut) he went down; I
hit another one on the chest before Marcus gave me a super-kick from behind
then the force from kick prompted me to head the guy in front of me on his nose
before we both fell down. I quickly got up and ran towards Marcus with rage. We
engaged in a fist fight. He was very muscular and strong but I didn’t care
about it that moment because I fight with anger and I won’t stop until my
opponent goes down or something else happens. The other guys dragged me back
from him but I shook them off with all my strength and went back to face their
leader. I came extremely hard on him this time with a push that got him down;
then I pounced on him punching his face as if I was crazy that I totally forgot
about the other guys he came with until a heavy plank wood landed on my head
and send me off to the other side of the ground. I held my head in pain for
many minutes.
Marcus: I warned you! You got lucky that I
even gave you a chance; but still you didn’t adhere to my warnings motherf*cka!
This is what you get for being a coward!! What you gon’ do now? Common get up
and face me! Why can’t you?! You think you’re a tough guy huh? huh?!! Answer me
motherf*cker! **Kicking me**
Marcus: Guys?
Guys: Yes boss!
Marcus: You know what to do with him
**Walking away**
On hearing that, I prayed a fast prayer to
God in my mind for mercy and I also declared that I will not die but live and
accomplish my life-mission on earth! I started gaining strength while praying
before the three guys came closer to me. The first guy that touched me got it
back from me as I kicked hard against his penis while I was still on the ground
before I quickly stood with my pen and stabbed the second one on his shoulder
as he was about to bend down. The third one came hard on me but didn’t get me
as I blinded his eyes with a strong slap and punched his stomach continuously
till he fell down. Then I ran towards Marcus who was standing before the
opened-gate watching the action. On getting closer to him, I suddenly stopped
when he brought out a gun and pointed it straight to my skull.
Marcus: Step back!
**I moved a step backward**
Marcus: Now get into the f*cking house!
Where you’ll die slow motherf*cker… hahahahaha
**I hesitated thinking of a way of getting his gun**
Marcus: Get in motherf*cker!!
**I hesitated thinking of a way of getting his gun**
Marcus: Get in motherf*cker!!
Me: Then what will you do? Kill me? For
what? For a girl you have no chance with? Go ahead and kill me!
Marcus: Of course I will kill you. She has
loved me more than she ever loved you!
Me: That’s a lie and you it! Your
relationship with her didn’t even last for a month
Marcus: Doesn’t matter, she still loves me;
you’re the problem for us not coming back together. So with you outta the way…?
She’ll crawl back to me!
Me: That’s never going to happen!
Marcus: Maybe not, buh I don’t mind trying
or is there harm in trial?
Me: Killing me won’t bring Mirabel back to
you; she knows how monstrous you’ve turned into
Marcus: You know… I discovered that, it was
only you she had date after me right? So getting her back won’t be much of a
problem
Me: She will never get back to yo…
Marcus: **Cuts in** Shut tha f--k up! Now
turn around!!
****
Marcus: Turn around you mother*cker!!
****
Marcus: Turn around you mother*cker!!
Voice: Drop your weapon!
He got distracted when he faced where the
voice came from. I didn’t bother to know whose voice it was; I grabbed the
opportunity by attacking him with a spear (Those who watch wrestling like WWE
will understand what Spear Attack means) the gun fell off his hand then I
rushed to get it and pointed it at him while he was still on the ground
groaning. Then I saw Police men coming to the scene.
Police: You drop the gun! **talking to me**
Mirabel: He is the victim here officer!
I dropped the gun; one of the Police men
collected it from the ground and handcuffed Marcus. I showed them the other
three guys behind my car and they arrested four of them.
The Police told me to visit the station
tomorrow to write my statement of which I promised to show up. Then they zoomed
off. Mirabel was already hugging me.
Mirabel: Are you Ok?
Me: Yea…I’m still alive **Smiling**
Mirabel: Stop joking **Hits my chest** It’s
a good thing that we didn’t come too late
Vincent: But bro, how come those guys are
also wounded? What happened here?
Dax: I’m shocked myself, how did you do it
Vickey?
Mirabel: You guys should let him get
medical attention first before questioning him na. But baby how did you managed
to…you know…what really happened?
Me: You guys don’t expect me to stay and
watch some guys kill me without fighting back right? It will be nicer if you
guys can get me a first aid box or something. I need to call Nancy to know if
she’s Ok
Vincent: I will do that!
**I turned to look at him somehow
suspicious**
Vincent: I meant the First aid stuff
**Sounded suspiciously**
Me: Hhmmmm…
I dialed Nancy’s line when going inside;
she said she’s fine, that she’s on her way.
Me: I appreciate you guys for the help;
thank you guys
Vincent: You’re welcome bro
Dax: We got your back
Me: But how did you guys know that I was in
danger? I was surprised
Mirabel: Well…it was from school I sighted
Marcus from afar when he sent one guy to call me of which I ignored. I kept an
eye on him to see his reaction. When you announced your departure and left, I
saw him also stood up with his gangs and left too after some seconds of your
departure. I dialed your number multiple times to inform you maybe they were
after you but you didn’t pick up.
Me: Yea…I put it silent during the lectures
and forgot to remove it from silent
Mirabel: Okay…I got worried; then I
informed Dax and Vincent about it before we drove to the police station in the
town, we got some police men and hurried here.
Me: Thanks a lot; you saved me from that
psychotic obsessed fellow.
Vincent: So…your own side of the story bro;
what happened here? How did you manage to…to to…injure them too?
Nancy interrupted with a knock on the gate;
Vincent offered to open the gate. She asked what happened to me as soon as she
saw me. I told them everything that happened, the scenes, the action and all
except the last conversation between me and Marcus.
Mirabel’s mother – the first lady called me
later in the evening to greet me about what happened; Mirabel told her. I saved
her number after the call and started calling her from time to time. Mirabel
call my mother almost every day as well.
WATCHOUT FOR EPISODE 21
