Ken looked at peter with this
horrifying look, No, I can’t do
that, what if am caught? That
will be live imprisonment, no,
am not taking that risk, I better
serve the two years and go home".
"Ok, mannn.., I already told him
you won’t agree to that".
"So what are we going to do
man.."
"Nothiny, I guess I just serve two
years, please take care of my
family and my mother too
till I come out."
"Don’t worry about that".
Gina visits Ken in prison but
Ken was not there, "he is receiving
treatment in the hospital she
was told.
"What happen?"
"Benson send his men after me,
they want to kill me but I was
lucky to have be alive."
"What do we do to this Benson?"
Gina ask.
"Nothing, he is already in prison
what do you want to do o him
again?"
"They have to transfer you to
another cell before this man kill
you, we have been running around
for your release, but it seem
things are getting worst every day.
The lawyer and Mr. Abiodu
has forcefully taken the remaining
house.
"What? So where are you
people now?"
"I’ve move everyone to my
father’s house, Ben and his
family have move to Miriam’s
house."
Ken could only bury his head
between his kneels and cry.
"Please don’t cry, you are
making it harder for me, my father’s
case is getting worst too, he is
no longer walking, he is on a
wheelchair as we speak."
Is been just three months I
have been in here and everything
is already gone, what a live?, he
didn’t know what to do.
After five months of been in
prison Benson was release, he
came to Ken’s cell and was like…
look at you? The son of the only
billionaire in town, hahaha, you
will rot in jail, I will take everything
that belongs to you including
your wife".
Ken got up to beat the hell
out of him but the rods of the cell
prevented him.
"You can’t do anything in there
hahahaha, when you come out,
your wife and kids will be gone
too. Hahahaha"
Ken, grand his teeth and wish
he could disappear from this cell.
Peter came to visit Ken again
the next week.
"Heyy… listen, ken whispers to
Peter, am ready to do what the
boss wants, I need to get out
of here."
"There will be no need for that,
the boss is working on something,
you will hear good news soon."
"Please when is soon? I can’t do
anything to help my family in here
and Benson threatened to take
everything away including my
wife."
"Forget that man, he can’t do such
a thing while am still out there".
"Are you sure?" Ken ask peter almost
in tears.
"Chill guy, my eyes are always on
your family ok".
"Weeks later, Ken, you are
free to go", the officer announce
to him.
"What? What! Am free? How?"
He rush out of the cell when it
was open and his eyes meet with
the boss.
"Bosssss….. Ken rush to hug him,
thanks boss."
"Anything for you my boy."
"Thank you so much" ken wanted
to kneel but the boss held him up.
"Get up, there is no need for that."
"How did you do that boss.?"
"Benson is my boy, I know how
to deal with him, he owns me that
much and is time for him to pay
back the favor he owns me, so I
simple ask for your release."
"Thank you boss" Ken keep saying.
"No problem, your family
are all here.
Ken look further and saw his
whole family standing afar, he
rush to them and they all hugged
him and cry together.
They took him to Mr. Georges
house were they are now staying.
"How is your father"? Ken
ask Gina.
"He is not fine at all, he now
sit on a wheelchair all day."
Ken was so devastated, he didn’t
know what to do anymore.
"Let me visit my friend peter and
see if he has anything like job
for me".
"What kind of job can you possibly
do?, Gina ask, because am
preparing to go and look for a
managerial job in one of the big
companies.
"No, you will stay at home
looking after the kids, I will do the
job hurting please just listen to me
this time ok".
"Ok", Gina said, not wanting to
upset him.
Ken walk back to the room they
prepared for him, things where
not properly arranged in this
room, he called his daughter Little
Tina who is now seven years to
come with Timothy. They came
and he ordered them to start
the arrangement since they no
longer have maids to do the work.
"Daddd..., look at this box,
Timothy call out once he grab a
box so shiny and rap with a ribbon,
"Is a gift for me, no is a gift
for me Little Tina start dragging
the box with Timothy.
"Stop it, and give me that box,
you guys are not done arranging,
when you are done I will give it to
you guys so for now give me
that box."
He took the boss from them
and looked at it.
His name was written on the box.
He lose the ribbon and open
the box, but only saw a pieces
of paper and a key.
"What is this?" He try to read it,
it was just an instruction to a
building.
Ken now remembered the little
building his father has took him
to and told him his secret, he turned
and looked at Timothy, who
is playing with Little Tina instead
of arranging the room.
"Yea, you are my father’s son,
and now am your father, he smile,
You are the gift that my dad gave
to me, and I think am beginning
to love you my son. Ken said
under his tone.
He turned the paper and saw
another instruction on where to
open with the key and where
to find the house key.
Ken quickly rush out of the
house and pick a tax down to the
house, he find the house key just
at the spot the paper said, and
rush to open it, he start looking
for where the door is so he can
use the key.
There, he found it, when he open
the door he found nothing but
one center table with an envelop
on it. He took it and open it.
It was address to him by his father,
in there was some documents to
a mansion away from town, it
belongs to Ken, and a huge sum
of money enough for him to start
all over, his father has been
preparing it for him and hoping
he become a man so he can hand
it over to him.
Ken could not stand still, he
began to cry and was shaking
all over, he thought his life was
over, but no, his dad loved him
so much, he has save his live
once more, he has always do.
Ken left the small building and
went in search of the mansion,
when he got there, he saw
people walking around and his
heart skip, are you sure am
not dreaming, does this place
really belong to me? Because
the building is so beautiful and
why are there people in it? He
turn to leave but something
told him to go inside.
"Hello", he call out to the
gate man.
"Who is in there?" he ask the
gateman.
"The caretaker and the domestic
workers, but we have not seen
the owner of this house ever
since am working here, is been
ten years now."
"Really? yes sir, are you here
to see the caretaker?" The gate
manask
"Yes, please take me to him."
"Is she not him."
"Ok, take me to her."
"This way,"
The gateman took Ken to see
the caretaker.
"Hello, Mrs.… Ken greeted the
elderly woman.
"OMG, I have been waiting for
you for years now, you finally came, welcome Sir" she bow and turn to the workers.
"Heyy.. stop working and
come here all of you".
Everyone gather around Ken
and the caretaker.
"This is Ken, the son of Mr.
Jackson, he is your new Boss,
this mansion belongs to him."
Everyone bow to greet Ken, but
Ken thought he was dreaming
and wanted to bow with them
but realize himself again.
"Thank you, thank you all of you,
you may go back to your work,
I want to speak with Mrs.. Mrs.. ..
"Call me Sonia."
"Ohh… Mrs. Sonia please".
"Yes Sir, they said, bow and left.
"Thank you once more Mrs. Sonia"
Ken said not really knowing
what to say.
"How long have you worked here?
Mrs. Sonia
"Ten years now, the master
told me that you will come, we
waited and waited and did not see
you, but thank goodness you are
finally here, so how is the master?
She ask. Is been a while we did
not see him."
Ken didn't know how to break
the news to her.
"He pass away."
"What? Mrs. Sonia shouted
and start crying but Ken consoled
her and told her he is moving in
with his family.
"Why not?, we are here to serve
you sir," she bow again.
"Thank You, Mrs. Sonia".
