âThanks for the foodâ Gabe said after eating, Ruth only nodded, they are in Ruthâs house, both are sitting on the couch. David wasnât around, the TV was on, it was tuned to a news channel. But Gabe noticed that Ruth has been quiet âBestie are you alright??â Gabe asked, Ruth looked at her faintly and smiled.
âNothingâŠ.â
âDonât tell me that.. plea-se tell me the problem.. plea-seâ Gabe pleaded genuinely.
âTake thisâ Ruth said as she gives Gabe a folded paper which she collected.
âI hope this is not one of the menâŠ..â She was saying when her eyes caught a word âMom??â She re-ad confused, she re-ad from the beginning.

âWait???? This is Nicholas, today is his birthday, today mark the fourteenth year when those bastardsâŠâŠâ Ruth looked at Gabe who had tears in her eyes, as she stood up to go and comfort her, Gabe stood up and ran to a room, locked the door.
âGabe opened upâ Ruth said knocking.
âI want to be left aloneâ She replied, Ruth sighed and left.
************************
Stella is in her room, she looked around, locked her door and pushed a shelf to reveal a secret room, she entered pu-ll-ed back the shelf and sat down. On the wall are lot of papers, pictures and cut out news papers. There were also news papers and two l@pt©ps.
âWhat exactly is the Darlingtonsâ crime that Gabe was as-signed to bring such ha-rd working and nice people down, like I donât getâ She thought to herself, as she took up a book, she has been writing her thoughts and feelings inside this book. She looked at her l@pt©p and li-cked on a video, Two women c@mÂŁ out looking sad and downcast but later they wiped their tears and did high five.
âWho
will go to the almighty Gerryâs office looking sad and when he or she comes out, they do high five⊠Something is definitely wrong⊠I can feel it, something is surely wrong⊠I wished I could watch what happened in Gerryâs officeâ She thought and hissed âI wonât be able to watch it because that cunning man is super secretive.. I know what to do but I hope that Gerry isnât using Gabe for wrong reasonsâ She thought again and sighed, she began to write and type on her l@pt©p.
**** ****
âWait??!! What!!!?? Oh no!!?â Gerry screamed as he stared at his l@pt©p and also at the TV, he switched off the TV angrily and slammed the l@pt©p close âJimiâs companies has been taken away from me, just like that, What going on??â As he was still thinking, the door flung open to reveal Barr. Kunle and five men all dressed in black.
âSign these papers, someone capable will take over the companies, you as-sistant is no longer nee-dedâ Barr. Kunle spoke angrily to Gerry who just stared at him, the latter is fuming inside of him but is afraid to do anything.
âFineâ He said after looking at all of them, he signed the papers which took him five minutes, he kept fli-pping the pages with anger and sighing them, while he was busy with signing and been angry, one of the man was secretly planting c@mÂŁras and audio recorder in his office âYou canât just come to my office as if the word is in your pocket, you get to give me the respect, this is my damn officeâ He said with his head still bent over the papers, Barr. Kunle moved closer to him, and also the men, Barr. Kunle placed his two hands on the desk and leaned towards Gerry, who was also looking at him.
âI have told you, I wonât let you reap where you didnât labour, I told you, I will see the end of you but guess what, this is just a ti-p of an iceberg, be prepared Gerry, cause when I come suddenly and powerfully upon you, you will wish you never betray your friends and even use his daughterâ Barr. Kunle spoke softly with a terrible and deadly voice âSignâ He commanded, Gerry looked at him and continued to sign.
âTake your stupid papers and get the fu-ck out of hereâ Gerry yelled throwing the paper at Barr. Kunle, who caught it and laughed heartily.
âBye, you will welcome poverty in your life once more, and Newsflash, if anything happens to anyone around me then you will dig your grave early, every legal person knows about this⊠So donât try anything stupid because if you do, am sorry mehn, you will be shocked at the mightiness of what will hit you, and you know what, it will crush your bone, you bastardâ Barr. Kunle, Gerry was shaken off balance, the former left with his men.
âPeople can be easily deceived, he signed thousands of papers not knowing that only five are importantâŠ.. Ignorant fool⊠Spider?? Do you plant those things well??â Brr. Kunle asked with a smile, the man nodded, they the cars they brou-ght and drove off.
