Chapter 114 The Rules
“I want your granddaughter to get married to my grandson, in that way we keep the legacy going.” She said.
“So why are you doing this? Tina ask, your son can marry anyone else he wants to marry.”
“That is true, but that is not the rules, you see, the rich only marry the rich, and your father knows that, she turns to Gina, he would have allowed you to marry anyone but No, he knew the rules and that is why you are here marrying Ken. Part of my business deals is to get the right husband or wife to all my children, is call security the future. And that is why the rich gets richer while the poor gets poorer because they don’t know how to secure the future.
Gina and her Mom in-law just keep looking at this woman and enjoying all the teachings they are receiving from this woman.
But we are not that rich, Tina said.
Your husband was in the class were I belong, we all know him, and we all know how he struggles to get there. He was not meant to go through that struggle but because he made a choice to marry you beside the wife that his parents choose for him, your co-wife’s family are super wealthy, but they will never help because your husband breaks the rules for you, and that is why it seems that you and your family are struggling. But am ready to take a chance with your family.
So why didn’t they help their own daughter and leave me and my son lone.
That is because she is Jackson, and by rules she is not to be helped because she and son still belongs to the Jackson.
Gina didn’t know what to say.
So what are you saying? Mr. Bob ask, will you consider my proposal?
We need to talk to ken first then we will get back to you.
Is ok, you can now offer me something to drink if you don’t mind Mr. Bob say seeing that they forgot to offer her any drinks.
Oh.. we are sorry, Gina said and rush to get her something.
What are you saying? That woman came here and you allow her into this house? Ken started shouting for his wife and mother.
Please calm down and listen to us, she didn’t mean any harm, just give her a chance to prove herself, beside we are still alive, we can protect our daughter, Gina said.
You Gina, you of all people, you are the one saying this? I can believe that you could change like this so quickly. Ken said disappointed.
Is not what you think, I see reasons with her.
The same reasons you refuse to marry ben right, you want your daughter to marry someone she didn’t love.
What bout Gina, didn’t you love Gina? the mom ask.
Mom is not the same, I love Gina before I got to know the plan, my daughter will only hate me if she finds out that I arrange her marriage for her.
What if they fall in love with each other Gina ask.
And how do you plan to do that?
We let them get close to each other and the could fall for each other naturally.
That is a bad idea, you and Patrick were friends from childhood, why don’t you love him?
Gina could not answer.
You have no answer for that right? The you people should leave my daughter alone, I don’t need their wealth. I can make my own money. He said and left them to his room.
You heard him, Gina said, let’s leave him alone for now.
But I am begging to feel sorry for my late husband, so he love me that much that he let go of all this just to be with me, Ken is right, let’s not go with Mrs. Bon proposal.
Is ok mom, I agree with you.
Ken refuse to talk to Gina because of what happen in the office and what happened right now.
Why are you not talking to me? Gina ask.
Who is that guy you were chatting with?
Which guy?
The one from the office, who is he?
What has come over you this days Ken, that guy is my friend back in school, I have told you.
Yes you have but what is he doing in our hotel? He has refuse to go, and he keeps asking after you.
Really? Gina ask smiling gain.
You see? That is what am talking about, why are you smiling?
Should I cry? Gina ask, look I know what you are trying to say but for goodness sakes give me some credit if I want to cheat on you will it be in our hotel?
If you want to pick a query with me just do so and leave the guy alone.
Ken looked at Gina and thought she has change a lot, she now talks to him without respect, all she is after now is her children and now this guy.
He went to bed without eating and Gina didn’t even ask if he has eaten.
No, something is wrong, he thought when he woke up the next morning. He went to Peter to get some advice which is obvious.
Give her a break peter said, you need more than one wives, look at me, am enjoying my life, when you go to this one and she refuse, go to the next one.
Hmmm, I see, but what if you don’t love the woman.
I don ‘t do love, I have told you this time without number, love is a child’s play I don’t play children play, Peter said looking around.
What are you looking for? Ken ask.
You can’t be discussing this kind of discussing without a bottle.
You are right ken said, place an order I will pay.
Now you are talking, Peter place the order and the drinks arrival, they drink and drink talking about stupid things and ken threatening to get married to five woman and how he is not going to give damn about Gina.
That is my man, peter yell, welcome to the club. I told you love is for children, you are a man my friend, behave like one.
Ken got drunk and went out of peter’s office.
Be careful and get a woman mann, he yell at ken as he walk out.
Yesss.. I will, he walk out and saw I girl working for them as a cleaner.
Hey you, come to me.

Then where is Gina?
She didn’t come to work.
Ken looked at the girl and she was so beautiful to look upon.

Ben stayed with Ken until he regains consciousness.
