Chapter 80 The Monster

    "Stay away from my child, he

belongs to the Jackson,"

Victoria said regretting all she

 has done to the Jackson family,

she never though the boss will

kill Jackson, she thought it

was only to take his money

but now game change and she

 has to do all she can to help

 ken get rid of this people.

    "Ken I think you need to show

 yourself to your family before

they loss it totally and I head

Gina want o the hospital."

Patrick said when he visited

 ken at peter’s place.

    "Is she ok, I need to go right

away."

    "No, if you love them you will

 stay away from them at least

for the main time Peter pointed

out, all you have to do is

make Gina understand that you

 are alive so she stop worrying

while we take this guys down."

    "That’s a good one patrick cut

 in, I will tell her myself so

don’t worry."

   "Thanks man, you are a live

 saver."

    "No pros," Patrick want home

 and then to the hospital but

Gina has already put to bed a

 set of twins boys."

    "Wowwww. That is great news,

Ken is going to love this."

    "What? Ken?" They all shouted

 at the same time looking at

 Patrick.

    "Where is ken? Is as if they

all are coming out at Patrick

 when he regain his senses  back.

Ohh.. no, I mean if ken was

here, he will be the luckiest man

 on earth but is a pity he is not

 here to see his kids."

    "So you mean to say you have

 not yet seen him and the police

 are not helping matters too."

    "Patrick are you ok,?" Charity ask.

    "Yes am fine."

    "No you’re not, I know when

something is wrong with you

Charity say, taking Patrick aside.

    "Tell me what happen to ken,

is he fine, or is he dead?"

    "Dead? No, he is fine."

    "Ohh… my God. Thank God

he is alive."

    "Sheeee… stop shouting."

    "But why, he is alive is a good

 thing right,? and Gina needs to

 hear this, she wants to run

 off when Patrick held her hand.

    "Stop, Charity listen to me,

ken is alive but is complicated."

    "What do you mean complicated.?"

    "No one needs to know that

he is alive if not, the Jackson

 family will be wiped off."

    "What? Is that serious."

    "Yes, is that serious, look

 Mr. Jackson is dead, Victoria

 help save Ken’s life and now

 he is in hiding till we figure

 out what next to do, if they

 know he's alive they are going

to come after him and the

rest of the family, so you see

 why you don't need to say

anything?

    "Hmmm.,, just hand them to

the police already. Charity

shouted."

    "No, is not as easy as you think,

the police must not hear this,

they will blow everything without

been of must help."

    "So what do we do with Gina.?"

    "You must find a way of telling

 her without making it know to

others, tell her all I’ve said, let

her know ken is alive but he is

not fine."

    "OMG, hmm I feel for her, this

is supposed to be her happiest

 day, why?"

    "Have you had anything to eat.?"

    "No, am not hungry, Gina

 keep crying all day so I

 couldn’t eat."

    "Hmm, you must help her

relax ok, I need to be somewhere."

    "Ok, just be careful."

   "I will." Patrick left the hospital.

    "What is going on with ken?"

Miriam ask her husband ben.

    "I don’t know and why should

 I care?" ben answered.

    "Are you not heartless?"

   "How?"

    "He is your brother and your

father is dead but what are

you doing? You sit here doing

nothing."

    "Listen let me tell you, if my

father is dead today, is because

 of ken, so I don’t care if he

 lives or die."

    "Do you have any prove of what

you are saying, we need to be

 in that hospital, everyone is

there, your mother is even there

so why are we not there?"

     "You can go if you want but

make sure to marry ken and don’t

come back to this house."

    "Fine, do whatever you want

but I must be in that hospital.

Mariam storm out of the house."

    "Miriam… you came?. Tina hug

 her"

    "And where is ben? Her mother

 in-law ask.

   "He is at home,  I think he will

be on his way here soon,

    "Ok"

   "So where is Gina?"

    "Come let me take you to her

 room", Charity offered.

    "Ok thank you."

    As they are about to enter

 the hospital room where Gina

 was, Charity stopped Miriam.

    "I have been meaning to ask

 you.

   "Yes, what is it Miriam stop

 to listen."

    "Where is your husband

 and what is he planning

this time?"

    "What kind of question is that."

    "Sorry to say this but am not

comfortable seeing you here,

because from what I have been

 hearing you and your husband

 will give anything to see Gina

and Ken disappear form the

 earth, so I ask why are you here.?

   "This is the high of it Miriam

 shouted, what are you saying

that I and my husband are

 responsible for what is

happening?"

    "Nope, that is not what am

saying, am simply been

 concerned."

   "Well, don’t be because am

 leaving Miriam said and turn

 to leave.

   "You can come and see her,

am not stopping you."

   "No thinks," she walks away.

    "Who is that? I was hearing

voices outside" Gina ask Charity.

    "Is Miriam, ben’s wife"

    "So where is she?"

    "I don’t know she want back."

   "Why? What did you do, I know

 you Charity, what did you do to

   "Well am sorry for protecting

   "Charity… "

   Mariam got home and was

 so ferrous.

    "What happen to you and why

 are you so angry.?"

    "Is it not that Gina?"

    "What did she do.?"

    "She send her friend to insult

me."

   Hahahaha. Ben laugh,

    "And why are you laughing?

what’s so funny?"

    "You, you are so funny, I told

you not to go but you wouldn’t

listening to me."

   "And why are you always drinking

 without saying anything."

    "Look my father just dead, are

 you expecting me to me happy?"

    "Fine, at least you should say

something not to be drinking like

 this, do you want to kill yourself?"

    "My father died without

sharing his properties right?

and now the lawyer is saying

everyone needs to gather here

 before he can read the will."

   Miriam could not believe

what she was hearing.

   "Ben are you ok? Your father

just died, your brother is missing

and his wife just put to bed and

 all you are thinking is properties

 and reading of will? Are you

 sure you don’t have a hand in

this?"

    "What nonsense are you

 talking about ben got up to

 face Mariam.

   "Listen, ken has always been

missing ever since I know him

 as my brother, there is no day

he doesn’t get missing, and

as for my father all he did was

 to favor ken more than me, and

now you are taking their side

 too. Fine all of you can go, I don’t

need any of you guys anyways."

   "You are drunk ben get

some sleep she carried him

 to bed.

    Ben is behaving strange and

that woman at the hospital

accusing ben of having a hand

in what is going on, God, I thought

 it was just a child’s play I don’t

know this thing will get to this

point, what do I do now?

She was still standing there

when ben’s phone rang.

    "Hello ben, where are you I

thought you will come let’s

see how to make the

 arrangement for the will.

    "Hello… hello.. are you there?..

Mariam cut the call.

   "My goodness so is true, ben

was responsible for killing his

father and ken. God why did I

not see this, why did I marry a

monster like this? Should I tell his

mother? No, that will be a

wrong idea. So what do I do

now? She was still thinking when

a car pulled into the gate.

And who is that man? She pip

 and saw that a man was

talking to the gate men.

    "He is inside the gate man said."

    "Good take me to him."

    "Ok, let me call him."

    "Good day madam, someone

 is here to see oga."

    "Let him in."

    "Ok ma."

    "Welcome, Mariam greeted

the man."

    "Yes, I want to have a word

with your husband."

    "Ohh.. he is not around"

    "Ok, let me call him again. He

call but the phone was with

Mariam.

    "Ohh.. he left his phone, but

you can tell me anything I will

deliver it to him."

    "The man looked at Miriam

and smile.

    "I don’t think so, I will see him

 soon, he said and left.

    "Ken is really behind this, what

do I do now?."

That man looks dangerous,

ben’s hatred for ken has made

him kill his father, how is he

 managing to live with it?"

Ben….wake up… she stop half

way when she saw ben standing

 there staring at her.

    "What are you doing with

 my phone?"

    "I was just looking at it she

said now afraid because he

wasn’t smiling and thought that

ben has turn into a monster, if he

 can kill his own father, he can

 kill anyone."

    "Give me my phone and don’t

you ever look at it again."
