    "Soon mom, soon."

    "Do you mean to say you’ve

    "I will mom, just relax, am going

 to bring her home soon."

    "Miriam was over joy when

ben finally propose to her, is

 like a dream come true."

    "I want to take you to see my

 mom, ben said."

    "That will be lovely."

    "What? Never! You can’t get

married to a maid."

    "She is no longer a maid mom."

    "Once a maid is always a maid

Ben’ mom insist."

    "I will not take this ben, if your

mom don’t like me then is fine, I

 will just go."

     "You can go, I don’t need a

maid for a daughter in-law,

what is wrong with you ben, there

are many noble family out there

get me one and I will give you

 my blessing."

    "Mom is she I want, maid or no

maid I want her."

    "No way, you will not bring her

 into this house, and why will it be

Tina’s maid for that matter."

    "Is it because of ken’s mother

that you don’t want her?"

    "I don’t know but my answer is no."

    "Miriam walk out of the compound

 and ben following her begging

 her to forgive his mom."

    "Your mother is right, once a

maid is always a maid but I will

love to prove her wrong."

    "What are you planning this

time.?

    "I will be someone that people

 will look up to and desires and

 not to see me as a maid."

    "Mariam please don’t take this

so seriously, I know my mother

she will come around."

    "I will not stand here and wait

for your mother to come around."

    "So what are you saying.?"

    "Am going home, if you need

me you know where to find me."

    "What nonsense? Just because

 I worked for them, they not label

me a maid, so I should remain a

maid? Does it mean that no

 matter what I do I will still be

seen as a maid? No, I need to

change my status, and going to

 go up high the social ladder, then

 let me see who will call me a

maid again."

    "But how do you do that if you

don’t calm down, humble yourself

and marry ben, Miriam ask herself.

The only way now is to marry ben

 and be a number of the Jackson

that way, you will share in their

inheritance

  I need to humble myself before

that woman at least for now,

then when I’ve entered the

family let me see who will talk to

me in a way I don’t like."

She was still talking when her

phone rang.

    "Is be ben."

    "I know, and am sorry for walking

away just like that."

    "Really?

    "Yes,"

    "So you've forgive me?"

    "Is fine, I don’t hold anything

 against you, ben said, am on my

way to your house."

    "Ok, I will be waiting."

  As ben pull the car out of the gate

 he saw Ken and Gina holding

hands and laughing.

    "What nonsense? He thinks he

is the only one who knows how to

 love, I will get married soon, then

 let’s see who will get jealous."

    Ben got to Miriam’s house and

was surprise to be welcome

 with questioning.

    "What happen to her? thought

she will get upset."

    "Babe whatsup, are you still angry

with me?

    "Why? No"

    "The way my mom treated you

at the house"

    "Nope, just relax, she is a mother

and I understand everything."

    "Really?"

    "Yea, just make yourself

 confortable."

Ben was all smile, he love it that

 Miriam has started been

 reasonable and matured."

    "So how do we get over this."

    "I don’t know, I was planning to

ask you that."

    "Well, you need to show my mom

 that you are a good person and

 that she has nothing to worry

 about."

    "Good, I will do anything you

said."

    "Really? Yea, anything but you

will promise me that as soon as

 we got married you are going

to give me a position in the

company."

    "That wouldn't be a problem

dear, I was even going to say that."

     "Wow, thank you, Miriam couldn’t

believe it, so you mean

 you have that in mind?

    "Yes, and together we will rule

 over them."

    "Rule over who? Miriam wants

to know who is them."

    "Ken and Gina of course."

    "I don’t understand, why will you

want to rule over ken and Gina?"

    "Isn’t that what you want?"

    "No, I want to be wealthy and

powerful, not to rule over anyone."

    "Then you have not started,

been rich and powerful requires

 you to step on people if the

 needs arises."

    "Really?"

    "Yes."

    "But that is if the needs arises,

so for now I don’t need to step

on anyone."

    "Am only saying to prepare you

 for the life ahead."

    "Hmm, you are making it sound

 like there is a war going on."

    "There is band to be war, and

 one needs to get ready for it."

    "Anyways, I will need to get to

that brige before I cross it."

    "That’s ok, so let’s start plainning

 for our wedding ben said,

knowing that he has planted

 the seed in Miriam’s mind and

she will be prepared when the

time comes."

    "First we need to get your mom

on our side before we can plan

for any wedding."

    "Yes, you are right, let me go

home and talk to her."

    "Ok, I will be waiting for your

 call, she said and kiss ben,

something she hardly do."

    "Ben was surprise at Miriam’s

change of attitude but he was

kind of glad that she has started

 changing."

    "No, my final answer is know,

you can’t marry a maid, for

goodness sake ben, everyone is

marrying from a reputable home,

but all you could do was bring

a maid to me? Fine if you don’t

want to get married just remain

single I will live with it than have

Tina laugh at me."

    "I don’t think she will laugh at

you, beside who even say she is

thinking towards that direction."

    "You may not know, but she is

secretly mocking at me right now."

    "Mom, please allow me marry

Mariam than I will show ken and

 his mother the stuff am made

of."

    "What are you planning to do?

His mother ask"

    "Don’t worry just give us your

 blessing and thing will not remain

 the same, after all she is pregnant

 for me."

    "What, really? Is she really

 pregnant?"

    Ben thought he has gotten the

 answer.

    "Yes, he say, she is pregnant

that is why I want us to get

married as soon as possible he

said looking at his mother’s face."

    "Well, but I still don’t like her,

but if she is pregnant than you

can go ahead and marry her, that

 means she is capable of giving

us children."

    "Yes mom, she is more than

capably."

    "Ben rush to call Miriam on

 phone."

    "What she accepted,"

    "Yes"

    "How did you do it?"

    "I will tell you when I see you,

but for now I need to go, I need

to talk to my father about it too."

    "Ok, see you then bye"

    "Bye"

    "What on earth did ben say that

 makes his mother let him off the

 hock just like that? Hmm, am

    "Hello, who is this? Miriam ask
