THE PRESIDENT DAUGHTER
SEASON… 2…EPISODE…. 28
I woke up the following morning thinking
about the call from Marcus last night; I
checked my phone to review my call history,
then I realized it wasn’t a dream but real. I
talked with Mirabel about it, she felt
uncomfortable about it. I told her not to fret
that he can’t do anything that’d make me
bow.
We went to School and c@m£ back in the
evening because a Lecturer shifted his
period to 4.pm and made the day a stressful
one. Later in the evening, I had a video chat
with Ike (Mirabel’s cousin). The following
conversation ensued after exchanging
plea-santries.
Ike: So… are you earning on your own as a
business student?
Me: Nope
Ike: Have you thought about the kind of
business you want to engage in from now?
Me: Not yet, I’ll think about it more after
school
Ike: Are you kidding? After school? So
you’ll keep depending on your parents till
you graduate?
Me: Seems so, I mean they’re capable
Ike: I’m not talking parental capability
mahn! I st©pped receiving a cent from my
billionaire parents even before I got into
college. I earned my first million dollars at
age 19. Wake up mahn! You start your
career and future now not after you start
growing matured beards or something.
Me: Ok I’ll think about it
Ike: Do you have anything in mind?
Me: Hhmmm… not really
Ike: What about your pas-sion or visions of
life?
Me: I have them but they’re not something I
can start with here in the University
Ike: Which are?
Me: Building a business empire in summary
Ike: That’d require a lot of capital to begin
with as well
Me: Yea
Ike: And how do you intend to raise the
capital to finance it after you graduate?
Me: **Speechless**
Ike: See what I’m saying? You nee-d to be
productive and career-focused from now
then you begin your establishment after
school
Me: Whoa… I come I never thought about
this? Thanks a lot mahn; I’ll start thinking
about it from today
Ike: Too late alre-ady
Me: What?
Ike: To me, you’re alre-ady late. Now look at
this; you’re alre-ady in your second year and
you have two years to graduate right?
Me: Yea
Ike: Ok now look it, before you think about
what to do, before you start doing whatever
it is you want to do and before you start
earning handsomely? Two years won’t be
enough believe me
Me: So what do you think I should do?
Ike: Good! I’ve decided on handing over the
ownersh!pof one of my t©p-earning
websites to you to begin with**Smiling**
Me: Really?
Ike: Yea
Me: Whoa… that’s awesome, thanks a lot
Ike: The market price of the site is worth
$2.7 million
**Both my eyes and my mouth opened up
wi-de in shock**
Ike: **Continued** you earn a monthly
income of about $24,000 even more as
much as you manage it well
Me: For real?!
Ike: Yea and I’ll p@rtner with you for the
next six months with no benefit so I can be
able to put you throu-gh on how you can run
the site effectively.
Me: Thanks so much bro, I really appreciate
this; I really can’t thank you enough
Ike: Come on mahn, I’ve empowered so
many youths I don’t even know; besides
being my sister’s b©yfri£nd, you’re also my
friend Ok? So just chill and start preparing
for your future
Me: This is great; I shall forever be grateful
for this favor
Ike: It’s okay…you will have to text me your
email address so I’ll s£nd everything you’ll
nee-d to know about the site and how to run
it and I’ll also arrange how you’ll be getting
your money.
Me: Ok bro, I’ll do that right away
I texted him my email address without
wasting time; then I started thinking about
it with excitement and astonishment. If I
should save such kind of income in three
years, I know what I’ll get.
My future is sure! Vames Empire On The
Way!! I screamed out loud. I couldn’t even
eat that night. I bought suya and ate it with
hollandia yoghurt.
I woke up the following morning and the
first thing that c@m£ into my mind was my
new source of income. I couldn’t even focus
on my morning re-ading because of it and we
have test that day.
Later in school, I told Mirabel about Ike’s
offer; she was happy for me. She called her
cousin that moment to appreciate him. After
the test, we had another lecture before
rounding up for the day. I was so eager to
go home; even when I was in the lecture
hall, business ideas kept roaming throu-gh
my head.
I had to drop by an eatery to buy something
to eat because Nancy remained in school;
she has lecture. On reaching the house, I
had to drop down and open the gate as no
one was around. I drove in, alighted from
the car to go and close the gate only for me
to turn around and saw someone with a big
scar on his fore-head.
Intruder: Hi, I’m Marcus **Gbow!!**
He accompanied the introduction with a
punch straight to my nose; I shifted
backward but another intruder behind me
pushed me forward to receive a kick from
Marcus, but I pushed his (Marcus) leg away.
I quic-kly turned around with a punch hit to
the face of the guy behind me – he shifted
backwards as well. Two other guys c@m£
along to get me down. On seeing them, I
adjusted a little to balance myself while
they rushed me with punches from all
angles till I fell to the ground.
While on the ground, I ti-ght£ñed my fist
then rose up and hit one of them straight to
the jaw (Uppercut) he went down; I hit
another one on the che-st before Marcus
gave me a super-kick from behind then the
f0rç£ from kick prompted me to head the
guy in front of me on his nose before we
both fell down. I quic-kly got up and ran
towards Marcus with rage. We engaged in a
fist fight. He was very muscular and strong
but I didn’t care about it that moment
because I fight with anger and I won’t st©p
until my opponent goes down or something
else happens. The other guys dragged me
back from him but I shook them off with all
my strength and went back to face their
leader. I c@m£ extremely ha-rd on him this
time with a push that got him down; then I
pounced on him punching his face as if I
was crazy that I totally forgot about the
other guys he c@m£ with until a heavy plank
wood landed on my head and s£nd me off to
the other side of the ground. I held my head
in pain for many minutes.
Marcus: I warned you! You got lucky that I
even gave you a chance; but still you didn’t
adhere to my warnings motherfv¢ka! This is
what you get for being a coward!! What you
gon’ do now? Common get up and face me!
Why can’t you?! You think you’re a tough
guy huh? huh?!! Answer me mother*cker!
**Kicking me**
Marcus: Guys?
Guys: Yes boss!
Marcus: You know what to do with him
**Walking away**
On hearing that, I prayed a fast prayer to
God in my mind for mercy and I also
declared that I will not die but live and
accomplish my life-mission on earth! I
started gaining strength while praying before
the three guys c@m£ closer to me. The first
guy that t©uçhed me got it back from me as
I kicked ha-rd against his pe-niswhile I was
still on the ground before I quic-kly stood
with my pen and stabbe-d the second one on
his shoulder as he was about to bend down.
The third one c@m£ ha-rd on me but didn’t
get me as I blinded his eyes with a strong
sl@p and punched his stomach continuously
till he fell down. Then I ran towards Marcus
who was standing before the opened-gate
watching the action. On getting closer to
him, I suddenly st©pped when he brou-ght
out a gun and pointed it straight to my
skull.
Marcus: Step back!
**I moved a step backward**
Marcus: Now get into the fv¢king house!
Where you’ll die slow motherfv¢ker…
hahahahaha
**I hesitated thinking of a way of getting
his gun**
Marcus: Get in motherfv¢ker!!
Me: Then what will you do? Kill me? For
what? For a girl you have no chance with?
Go ahead and kill me!
Marcus: Of course I will kill you. She has
loved me more than she ever loved you!
Me: That’s a lie and you it! Your
relationsh!pwith her didn’t even last for a
month
Marcus: Doesn’t matter, she still loves me;
you’re the problem for us not coming back
together. So with you outta the way…?
She’ll crawl back to me!
Me: That’s never going to happen!
Marcus: Maybe not, buh I don’t mind trying
or is there harm in trial?
Me: Killing me won’t bring Mirabel back to
you; she knows how monstrous you’ve
turned into
Marcus: You know… I discovered that, it
was only you she had d@t£ after me right?
So getting her back won’t be much of a
problem
Me: She will never get back to yo…
Marcus: **Cuts in** Shut tha f–k up! Now
turn around!!
****
Marcus: Turn around you mother*cker!!
Voice: Drop your weapon!
He got distracted when he faced where the
voice c@m£ from. I didn’t bother to know
whose voice it was; I gr@bb£d the
opportunity by attacking him with a spear
(Those who watch wrestling like WWE will
un-derstand what Spear Attack means) the
gun fell off his hand then I rushed to get it
and pointed it at him while he was still on
the ground gro-an ing. Then I saw Police men
coming to the scene.
Police: You drop the gun! **talking to me**
Mirabel: He is the victim here officer!
I dropped the gun; one of the Police men
collected it from the ground and handcuffed
Marcus. I showed them the other three guys
behind my car and they arrested four of
them.
The Police told me to visit the station
tomorrow to write my statement of which I
promised to show up. Then they zoomed
off. Mirabel was alre-ady hvgging me.
Mirabel: Are you Ok?
Me: Yea…I’m still alive **Smiling**
Mirabel: St©p joking **Hits my che-st** It’s
a good thing that we didn’t come too late
Vincent: But bro, how come those guys are
also wounded? What happened here?
Dax: I’m shocked myself, how did you do it
Vickey?
Mirabel: You guys should let him get
medical attention first before questioning
him na. But baby how did you managed to…
you know…what really happened?
Me: You guys don’t expect me to stay and
watch some guys kill me without fighting
back right? It will be nicer if you guys can
get me a first aid box or something. I nee-d
to call Nancy to know if she’s Ok
Vincent: I will do that!
**I turned to look at him somehow
suspicious**
Vincent: I meant the First aid stuff
**Sounded suspiciously**
Me: Hhmmmm…
I dialed Nancy’s line when going inside; she
said she’s fine, that she’s on her way.
Me: I appreciate you guys for the help;
thank you guys
Vincent: You’re welcome bro
Dax: We got your back
Me: But how did you guys know that I was
in danger? I was surprised
Mirabel: Well…it was from school I sighted
Marcus from afar when he s£nt one guy to
call me of which I ignored. I kept an eye on
him to see his reaction. When you
announced your dep@rture and left, I saw
him also stood up with his gangs and left
too after some seconds of your dep@rture. I
dialed your number multi-ple times to inform
you maybe they were after you but you
didn’t pick up.
Me: Yea…I put it silent during the lectures
and forgot to re-move it from silent
Mirabel: Okay…I got worried; then I
informed Dax and Vincent about it before
we drove to the police station in the town,
we got some police men and hurried here.
Me: Thanks a lot; you saved me from that
psych0tic obsessed fellow.
Vincent: So…your own side of the story bro;
what happened here? How did you manage
to…to to…injure them too?
Nancy interrupted with a knock on the gate;
Vincent offered to open the gate. She asked
what happened to me as soon as she saw
me. I told them everything that happened,
the scenes, the action and all except the
last conversation between me and Marcus.
Mirabel’s mother – the first lady called me
later in the evening to greet me about what
happened; Mirabel told her. I saved her
number after the call and started calling her
from time to time. Mirabel call my mother
almost every day as well.
