I can’t turn my back on Promise and I can’t
let Mirabel leave… what a dilemma.
Before I knew what was happening, Mirabel
had Promise leave the house and I couldn’t do anything because I want to save
my relationship with Mirabel. I stood and watched Promise leaving the house in
tears; she was looking at me but I couldn’t do or say anything till she left.
Mirabel warned that Promise must not attend her wedding.
When Nancy arrived and I told her what
happened earlier while we both sat at the veranda, she got so surprised and
shocked for how things turned out in such a little time; she wasn’t cool with
Mirabel’s action though.
Nancy: So I’ll be living here alone or
what’s going to happen?
Me: Well… you can bring a friend to stay
with you
Nancy: Promise is much better to live with
Me: But you can’t live with her anymore,
you know what happened
Nancy: Where will she go to now? I don’t think
she has any place to stay in Abuja
Me: I really dunno what got into Mirabel to
go to that extent
Nancy: Let’s ask Vincent to talk to her
Me: No, he can’t know about this
Nancy: Why?
Me: I don’t want to raise any issue, if
letting Promise go will make our relationship work without any squabble, then I
have no option.
Nancy: Senior bro that’s not cool, you
can’t possibly let Promise go like that na, she’s a good person
Me: Nancy you don’t understand, you think
it’s easy for me? I just want my relationship to go back to how it used to be
and even better when we get married
Nancy: Is there no other way this can go
without anyone getting hurt? What do you think Promise will be feeling right
now?
Me: I’m just so confused right now, I dunno
what to do
Nancy: Please do something about Promise;
she must be very hurt about this
Me: I’ll talk to her
Nancy: Ermmm…. Do you like have any uhmmm…
feelings for her?
Me: Nancy, stop that
Nancy: Sorry… just being curious
Me: It’s okay…
Nancy: Lemme go and prepare something since
you guys couldn’t eat this afternoon
Me: Seriously, that food I expected to eat
comfortably just got burnt
Nancy: I dunno you’ll still be hungry after
everything that happened today
Me: Are you trying to mock me?
Nancy: Ah! Noooo…
She went back into the house while I
remained outside cogitating and worried. Talking about having feelings for
Promise, I think I truly have something hidden deep in my heart for her.
**TWO YEARS – FOUR MONTHS LATER**
A lot has happen…
The President won the election victoriously and remained in office; He appointed my father minister of finance and my mother kept rolling with the first lady.
The President won the election victoriously and remained in office; He appointed my father minister of finance and my mother kept rolling with the first lady.
I got my result and I graduated with second
class upper; I couldn’t get first class because of many distractions that took
place then and the running of my website. It was Nancy that graduated with
first class… because she wasn’t distracted na.
Mirabel and I got married then travelled to
the U.S as we planned. We learnt everything we needed to learn in order to
build the Vames Empire and it all went well. I started my company with Mirabel
by my side, with Ike’s partnership and his support technically and financially,
and investors that invested in my Company. I got business connections
worldwide, but I’m yet to achieve to my dream, which is building a very big
business empire… although I’m getting there, it’s all about time.
Nancy and Vincent are yet to get married,
they’ve been fighting for their love because… there have been some kind of
disagreement about their relationship from some family members due to the fact
that Mirabel and I are already married.
I have a Daughter with Mirabel, I named her
Vanessa, and now Mirabel is heavily pregnant carrying my second child. Our plan
was to rush our children so she can join me in running the Empire while the
children are already growing up.
I lost contact with Promise immediately she
left the house that day; I tried to call her two days after she left when I
went back to our Family house, I couldn’t find her number in my phone, and all
the text messages and WhatsApp conversation we had were all gone. I knew
Mirabel did it because she alone knows my phone password as part of our
agreement not to hide anything from each other, so she has access to my phone
and I also have access to hers. After the discovery, I immediately called Nancy
to give Promise’ number of which she did, but the number didn’t go through till
today.
I planned on visiting Nigeria only when my
office building there would be completed and ready for operations, so now I
have about two months to return back to Nigeria, that’s the time my contractor
assured me of completing everything, and it’s the same time Mirabel is expected
to deliver our baby.

**********
I came back to my house after I’ve been
away for five days on a business trip; I so much missed my wife and my
daughter. I stepped into the house, the next thing I saw was my wife falling
down from the stairs. I immediately rushed to get her but she didn’t respond; I
had to rush her to the hospital.
The Doctor said that she’s in a critical
condition; the fall affected the pregnancy so bad that she will have to undergo
a premature delivery, and she has lost so much blood. So… she’d need a blood
transfusion. The worst thing was that, her blood group is very rare.
The Doctor had me tested but my blood type
did not match with hers, he advised me to go get a close relative as they don’t
have the type of Mirabel’s blood in their blood bank. The first thing I did was
to call Mirabel’s oldest sibling Adesuwa who also resides there in America but
in another state in Oklahoma. She promised to take the next available flight to
Nevada where we reside. I also called Mirabel’s father – the president and
informed him about the situation at hand, I told him about Adesuwa’s coming,
but he insisted on coming as soon as possible in case if Adesuwa’s blood won’t
be enough.
I also called my Parents to inform them,
they were terrified especially my mother. I called Vincent and told him about
it, that he should start praying seriously for Mirabel.
I was so worried; I didn’t know what else
to do… I moved from one place to another looking for a donor but couldn’t find
any. I was left with no other choice but to wait for Adesuwa. I dunno if Ike’s
blood will match with hers, and he is not even in America, he is currently in
China doing his thing.
Adesuwa finally came about two hours later
and a test was conducted on her to be sure if her blood will match with
Mirabel’s. Unfortunately, it didn’t match. We were so surprise on why their
blood type did not match. We had to wait for a couple of hours till the
President arrived with the first lady and Vincent.
The President told the Doctor to start
taking his blood immediately, but the Doctor insisted that they get his blood
tested first before that can happen. The President had no choice but to allow
them to run the test on him. After waiting impatiently for many minutes, the
Doctor came back and said their blood did not match.
President: What are you talking about?
She’s my daughter!
Doctor: Are you sure about that?
