MR EDWARDS HOUSE

(SITTING ROOM)

:

Mr Edwards who still sat on the couch with Mr Daniels in surprise as he saw Kayla and Sly descending the stairs while Nath, Gold, Ken and Queen followed them behind.

“What’s wrong?” Mr Daniels asked in shock coz he thought they had all sle-pt off.

No one answered him yet as the children all sat comfortably on their seat.

“What happened?” Mr Edwards asked as he looked from one person to another.

“Mr Daniels is wrong,” Sly hissed.

“Yes, and you too Dad,” Kayla added. “Tell us why you lied to us by telling us that Mr Daniels is dead.”

“Dad!” Sly called. “Tell us why you also lied and told us Mr Edwards is dead. Tell us why you exchanged Ken’s sister and also all the secrets you’ve been hiding,” he said in one breath.

Mr Edwards cleared his throat, “Let me answer mine first. I’m sorry I lied to you by telling you Mr Daniels is dead. It’s just that I was so annoyed after the betrayal that I never wanted to set my eyes on him again,” he concluded.

“It’s alright dad but that was very bad,” Kayla said and turned to Mr Daniels, “We are waiting for you.”

Mr Daniels swallowed ha-rd . He knew what he was about to say would cost his life and reputation but now he had no choice. “Call your mothers!” he said instead.

Nath stared at him in anger and quic-kly stood up to do his bidding.

Minutes later Mrs Edwards and Mrs Daniels also walked into the sitting room.

“So you all never sle-pt,” Mrs Edwards asked but was ignored.

After everyone was sitted, Mr Daniels began, “First of all, I apologies to everyone for not telling the truth,” he apologised and began…

FLASHBACK

MR DANIELS SIDE OF THE STORY

:

Years ago, I lived happily with my family but I started having problems the day I brou-ght home my children from the orphanage. After my wife had given birth to Sly, I met Mr Peter and told him how desperate I was to get rich and famous coz Edwards was very rich and that got me jealous. Mr Peter accepted to help me but to keep everything secret and I agreed. To cut the long story short, he took me to his occultic group which I later found out that they were ritualist. I told them of how rich I wanted to be and they told me the only way out was to sacrifice my only daughter which was Ken’s sister and by then my wife was alre-ady pregnant again. So, I pleaded with them to give me some time which they agreed.

Soon, I had completely forgotten about them but after my wife had given birth to Gold and was still at the hospital, I realised the money I had won’t be enough to foot the hospital bills coz my wife had been operated on since she had some complications and couldn’t deliver safely. So while my wife was still at the hospital, I went home and took Ken to Edwards house and also asked him for some money which he gave me but I never told him about my wife who was in the hospital even though he had asked about her well being coz he knew she was pregnant. Finally I paid the hospital bills and my wife was discharged. When we got home, she asked of Ken and I told her he’d be staying with Edwards for sometime.

But unfortunately, after some time, the company Edwards gave me to manage started crumbling even though I invested a lot in it and things bec@m£ worse and then I was pushed to go back to Peter. But when he took me back to the ritualists, they told me they had changed their mind and nee-ded my son but I pleaded with them and told them that it would be ha-rd to take him away from Edwards coz he still gave me money to feed my family and might be too inquisitive about why I suddenly nee-ded Ken. Mr Peter really wanted me to sacrifice my son, so he asked me to tell Edwards that the boy was to be sacrificed for his daughter’s health and that if Edwards refused, he should be re-ady to take an oath that his son will marry his daughter when he was of age but unfortunately, Edwards took the oath and refused to re-lease Ken.

To cut the long story short, I pleaded with them till they accepted my daughter for the sacrifice and inorder not to complicate issues with my wife, I went to the orphanage, paid some money and took another girl child that looked a bit like my daughter and then lied to my wife that it was exchanged by the woman I had impregnated. But unfortunately for me, things only got worse after the sacrifice and when I asked Mr Peter why, he said I must sacrifice my first son inorder to be wealthy but I refused and since I couldn’t still feed my family, I decided to steal Edwards money and leave the country but I later found out that Peter had taken the marriage and oath issue seriously and had vowed to kill Nath, so I decided to take another drastic step by s£nding men to kill Mr Peter and make it look like he had committed suicide, then paid off the doctor to keep everything secret…

EPISODE 33

—-:::::::::—-

SAME LOCATION(CONTINUED FROM LAST EPISODE)

:

THE PREs£nT…

Everyone bec@m£ speechless and shocked after Mr Daniels had finished his story.

“I have about two months to live cos I was diagnosed of cancer,” Mr Daniels said.

“So you transfered that cancer to Ken, oh Daniels,” Mr Edwards shouted in annoyance.

“Dad, so you had a hand in my kidnap?” Gold asked as she eyed her father angrily.

“No, I didn’t. According to the story, you tried escaping but unfortunately got yourself entangled in his web and now, he would have been in a better position to explain how he had planned for you to be stabbe-d that Nath had to save you but unfortunately, I killed him,” Mr Daniels explained bitterly.

“You are just so wicked,” Mrs Daniels screamed in pains as she stood up, then walked out of the sitting room.

“You have succeeded in putting our family and it’s reputation in shambles, I don’t care if you are my brother coz you will have to face the law,” Mr Edwards said, stood up and also left.

“Well thank God Queen isn’t my sister but the innocent blood of my sister which you killed will surely hunt you down,” Ken said and also left.

One by one, the other family members quietly stood up and went upstairs to their room thus leaving Mr Daniels behind to his fate…

THE NEXT MORNING(STILL MR EDWARDS HOUSE)

:

The morning looked dull and gloomy as everyone went about their chores in sadness.

When breakfasts was re-ady, Queen went in to call Mr Daniels who hadn’t come out of his room ever since they woke up, only to find him lying dead in his pool of blood with the kitchen knife pierced de-ep into his stomach. She screamed thus attra-cting the attention of others who ran to the room to know the reason why she screamed.

“Ewo, my husband,” Mr Daniels cried and fell on t©p of her husband but others quietly moved into the room and stood round Mr Daniels dead b©dy without saying a word.

Mr Edwards bent down t©uçhed Mr Daniels forehead, then stood again and said, “I thought you were human but I realised a little too late that you are a black sheep to this family. I will make necessary arrangements for his b©dy to be taken out and also inform the Army General,” he concluded and left the room…

After Mr Daniels death, everything bec@m£ normal again and his burial was fixed to be conducted in two months time. Joy, Jeffrey, the two guys and the doctor’s cases were tried in court and they were each punished according to their crimes.

Then there c@m£ the day that was set aside for Nath and Gold’s survival p@rty.

:

THE SURVIVAL p@rtY

SATURDAY MORNING, TIME CHECKED- 7:00AM

:

Mr Edwards house was filled with huming activities. Caterers, decorators, event planners etc had been all invited which made the p@rty almost want to look like a marriage ceremony.

:

GOLD’S ROOM

:

Kayla walked into the room to find Gold and Queen trying to select what to put on from a box of clothes which was infront of them.

“Come on, you girls don’t have to do this, I have a beautiful surprise for you,” Kayla said as she stood in the middle of the room with her hands placed on her w@!st.

“What surprise?” Queen asked excitedly.

“Just keep quiet and come with me,” Kayla smiled, dropped her hands down,then turned and walked out.

“Nawa o, early morning surprise,” Gold said as she stood up.

“I think it’s a good one,” Queen said and also stood up, then walked to the door.

Gold just kept quiet and followed her out of the room…

MR EDWARDS ROOM

:

Nath walked into his father’s room with Ken smiling gleefully.

“Dad, you called us,” Nath and Ken said in unison as they sat on the edge of the be-d.

“Yes!” Mr Edwards said as he smiled too and stood up from the couch which he had sat, looking at two beautiful small gold boxes. Then he walked to the be-d where Nath and Ken sat and handed them the boxes

“Dad what’s this,” Nath asked as he stretched out his hand and collected the box while Ken also did same.

“Just open it,” Mr Edwards said as he stood with his hands behind his back.

Nath and Ken looked at each other, then heaved a sigh and opened the small box.

“What!” both Nath and Ken exclaimed in shock as they saw diamond rings which sparkled in each of the boxes.

Mr Edwards smiled and joined them on the be-d. Then he cleared his throat and spoke up, “Well everything happens for a reason. At first Gold was kidnapped and in a bit to save her, you walked into danger and the rest is history. The Kidnapped stuff led us all to know the whole truth about what had been happening and so now, since everything is now okay and we are now free with little or no enemies, I discussed this issue with your mothers and we decided that both of you should propose to Gold and Queen before you go back to school because no one knows tomorrow,” he explained patiently…
