THE PRESIDENT DAUGHTER
SEASON==2==EPISODE ==43
How can Marcus be alive when he was sh0t
dead right in front of me, she must be
hallucinating or something because for
Marcus to be alive is impossible to me. And
i hope that i don’t start hallucinating about
Dorothy too.
*********
Me: Where are you now?
Mirabel: In a saloon, just made my hair
Me: How did you see him?
Mirabel: The frontage of saloon is glas-s, so i
just shifted my head to look around then i
sighted him standing outside the saloon, i
turned to focus on the direction that i saw
him but didn’t see him anymore
Me: Baby it can’t possibly be him, don’t
worry about what you think you saw, Marcus
is alre-ady dead.
Mirabel: I’m scared, or maybe his ghost is
hunting me
Me: **Laughs** Why would that happen
when you weren’t the one that killed him.
Mirabel: It’s not funny
Me: Sorry, but you sounded funny, you’re
done with your hair right?
Mirabel: Yea
Me: Ok, come over here
Mirabel: Okay…
She c@m£ to the house, we talked about
what she saw, I tried to convince her that
Marcus is alre-ady dead and gone with his
trouble. She seemed to be very sure of what
she saw, but I was able to calm her down.
I kept on thinking about the possibility of
Marcus being alive but i found no possible
way, how on earth would he have survived
three sh0ts in the che-st? No way!

Days past and our lives kept moving
peacefully, Mirabel st©pped talking about
what she saw and we forgot about it.
Everyone that follow news will know that
Mirabel the president’s daughter got
engaged to a guy (Me). Mirabel posted
pictures and short videos of the night i
proposed to her on her instagram page and
twitter handle. The media took it
immediately, most of the news websites,
blogs, youtube, twitter, facebook etc. I also
did the same by uploading ph0tos of us on
my page. The recorded video of the night i
proposed to Mirabel got edited, so all angles
of the recorded videos were made into a
single mp4 video. I uploaded it on my
website and youtube and it went viral with
so many views and downloads. I started
having more and more followers everyday on
instagram and twitter with the majority of
females. Because of these as the world fully
know Mirabel as the President’s daughter
and me as her fians, the first lady had to
provide security of three mobile policemen
each for me and Mirabel as our personal
security and another two each for our house
security with Frank and Jummy who were
alre-ady Mirabel’s secret agents b©dyguards.
No doubt that i’m now a big deal in Nigeria,
millions will be demanded for ransome if i
should get kidnapped. *wi-nkz* I also started
hitting the gym to get myself some six
packs and a good looking b©dy.

One day, after rounding up a paper which
leaves us with six more papers to go before
we finish our exams, Mirabel t©uçhed me
that she saw Marcus standing somewhere
not too far away from us there in school
where we gathered after writing a paper.
She pointed the direction where she saw
him and i didn’t see anyb©dy. She swore
that she saw him, and he was putting on a
hood with a gray jacket. She was so
terrified that I had to take her to my house.
She sle-pt off minutes later then I called her
mother – the first lady and told her what’s
going on with Mirabel. She asked me some
questions on Marcus’ death of which i
answered sincerely. She concluded that
she’ll talk to the head of the millitary that
raided the bush that day and rescued us to
make enquiries. She called me back about
48 minutes later with a feedback. She said
that she spoke with the captain that led the
team to our rescue that day asking him
about Marcus, but he said many dead bodies
were recovered that day and they didn’t get
to know the details of four of the bodies so
they buried them like that. And all the ones
that they found their details, none of them
was named Marcus. The Captain concluded
that there is a 100% possible chance that
Marcus was among those that they couldn’t
get their details. I ended the call with the
first lady after a little more discussion.
Then i started thinking…
☆ How could they not find the details of
Marcus who was the son of a well known
billionaire?
☆Or is it because his father disowned him?
☆ How can that change the fact that
Marcus was his father’s son?
☆ Or he wasn’t among those that their
bodies were discovered by the millitary?
☆ What’s going on here?
Ok lemme look at this way, Dorothy sh0t
Marcus three times in the che-st and
immediately commanded us to go inside the
building, so we left Marcus outside. I can’t
remember seeing blood on Marcus when he
got sh0t and Lola bleeded immediately she
got sh0t and me too.
Maybe Marcus was wearing a bullet proof
vest when he got sh0t and escaped
immediately we went inside the building. It
makes more s-en-se now but i hope i’m
wrong. This can’t be happening, Mirabel was
so sure of who she saw… No more doubts!
Marcus is definitely alive!!
I immediately called Vincent and Frank and
told them everything, they were shocked to
hear the strange news. We made it known
to the President and the first lady and we
discussed seriously about it. We discussed
that we won’t announce it to the public that
there’s a manhunt for Marcus, so that he
won’t get prepared and go into hiding. They
concluded that hundreds of C.I.D’s , Armies
and other officers will go un-derground in the
school and other places that Mirabel might
go to. They won’t be very close to her,
they’ll just be around anywhere Mirabel is
and be watching incase Marcus shows up to
her then they’ll immediately come and get
him. So we warned Mirabel not to be looking
around suspisiously, let her always be
relaxed. A small communication earphone
was given to her to be in her ear at all
times, as it is connected to all the
un-derground agents and me as well for
information and communication purpose.
The plan took effect immediately, as they
briefed the selected agents and they got to
work.
We’re very much re-ady for Marcus, let him
come!
☆☆☆☆☆
Because of the ongoing plan that we have
for capturing Marcus, we started ma-king
more public apprearances. From the movies
to the beach, to ice cream shops and also
shoppings. It bec@m£ fun for us because we
don’t do such before. We decided to
continue doing it even after we catch
Marcus. The more we go out in the public,
the more i get famous as paparazzis always
took pictures of us and get it to the media
ma-king headlines on news blogs and
websites.
THE PRESIDENT DAUGHTER
SEASON ==2==EPISODE==44
We continued the fun like that for three
days, and we didn’t see or sighted Marcus
and we’re left with four papers to round up
our final semester’s exams.
That Marcus, I am very sure that the bullet
proof vest he wore was the one he str!pped
me off the time I went to him with tracking
devices all over my b©dy. He took away my
bullet proof and kept it for himself; he thinks
he’s smart enough, we shall get him. We
charged all the agents to be very watchful
and vigilant so we won’t miss a chance of
getting Marcus. I c@m£ up with another idea
to st©p moving around with Mirabel, let her
be going on her own so Marcus will maybe
show himself to her again, and of course
the un-derground agents will always be on
her trail.
******
I forgot to mention that I met my Lecturer
that advised me the other time, I
appreciated her and told her it went so well.
I even told Mirabel about it. I also
appreciated Promise for explaining things to
Mirabel ahead of me.
******
My late uncle’s first son, Jonas was alre-ady
in the university and i’ve been helping him
because of the good deeds of his late
father. Although, he wasn’t in my school, but
we do communicate from time to time. And
my Father has been helping my late uncle’s
family.
******
I got a call from the first lady on my way
back from school and the following
conversation ensued…
Me: Hello, good afternoon ma
First lady: How are you dear
Me: I’m fine ma
First lady: Okay… I want to invite you
personally to come for my wedding
anniversary tomorrow 7:00.pm but you
should be here before the time, oh sorry… i
forgot to ask, can you make it?
Me: Of course ma, i’ll be plea-sed to be
there
First lady: Ok good… Your Parents are also
coming, so… Frank will come pick you guys
up including your sister
Me: Ok ma
First lady: Alright, bye
Me: Ok bye ma
**Hangs up**
I told Nancy about it and she was so happy.
It was only Nancy that has exam paper to
write the following day. I went to Mirabel’s
lodge to spend my day before the evening
when we’ll be going for her Parent’s
anniversary dinner celebr@tion. I alre-ady had
it in mind to wear the new suit i bought the
other time.
Mirabel: We should bring Promise along with
us
Me: It’d be a good idea, that’s if it’s ok
Mirabel: Sure, she’ll be my guest
Me: Ok, tell her then.
She told her and she agreed to come along
with us.
Vincent c@m£ to the lodge, then we all went
to my ap@rtment i.e Vincent, Mirabel,
Cynthia, Promise and Me. Nancy was
alre-ady in the ap@rtment, so we hit the road
headed to the Presidential villa with an SUV
and a Coaster bus. Frank, Jummy and two
mobile police men drove in the SUV while
the rest of us with three policemen drove in
the Coaster bus.
We gisted while on road, Nancy took the
lead in the gist. I noticed she has reduced
20% of her talking capability, maybe Vincent
is working on it. All i did was to contribute,
defend myself when i’m being tea-sed or
accused of something, and i laughed out
mostly.
We arrived at the villa before 6:00.pm and
mingled with those pres£nt and they served
us wine.
Guests started coming including my Parents,
and the hall got filled up before 7.00.pm i
wasn’t that surprised, why won’t they come
before time when it’s the President’s p@rty.
The invited guests were close friends,
relations and p@rtners. It wasn’t a big p@rty,
just a dinner celebr@tion. Ministers,
Governors, s£nators and other dignitaries
were in attendance.
The celebr@tion started, the President c@m£
forward and appreciated everyone for
coming. He said some things before he
introduced his wife, she c@m£ forward and
stood by his side and then she gave a little
speech. Vincent and Mirabel also c@m£ out
as their Parents cut the large cake. After
that, the president and his wife danced
together for about a minute before others
that cares to dance joined them on the
dancefloor. The first lady introduced me to
her friends and other guests as Mirabel’s
fiancé. And Mirabel also did the same to
close relations including Ike’s Parents.
I shyly danced with Mirabel while many
guests were dancing with their spouses.
Nancy and Vincent were also dancing (I
wonder when they’ll take their relationsh!p
to the next level by introducing themselves
to our respective Parents) I sighted Promise
seated and talking with a guy we met
earlier. The guy is darkly cute, I guess she
has found a new friend. I st©pped dancing
and took Mirabel to our seat to eat the food
i’ve been salivating for.
I really enjoyed the night, it was so
wonderful. Seeing prominent personalities of
the Country in their cool with all smiles.
Looking at them all, I couldn’t tell which
was a criminal.
Me: (To Mirabel) Who is that guy seated
with Promise?
Mirabel: I forgot his name, but he is son of
the FCT Minister
Me: He’s been with her for a while now
Mirabel: Maybe he is seeking for a chance
Me: Is he a good guy?
Mirabel: I dunno, I only know him as the
first son of the FCT Minister.
Me: Okay…
We left there about 13 minutes to the hour
of 9:00.pm to my ap@rtment dropping me
and Nancy before they left for Mirabel’s
lodge.

The following day, while chilling in my
ap@rtment and working on my website as I
don’t have a paper to write, my phone rang
for one second and st©pped. Someone
flashed me, so i guess. I picked up my
phone to see who the flasher was but it was
a hidden number. How can a person hid his/
her number and flash someb©dy? That’s
ru-bbish! I hissed and dropped my phone. A
message c@m£ into my phone minutes later,
I checked and the s£nder was unknown to
me, so i re-ad the content of the message
and it re-ad as follows:
“Hi, It’s Marcus, the same one. Yes i’m still
alive. I’m alive for a reason, for a second
chance. I know what happened to Dorothy,
how her life ended. I don’t want to end up
like her. I have lost everything because of
the crazy love i have for Mirabel. I want to
start a new life and i hope you can forgive
me for everything i did to you. I would’ve
died for nothing, but here i am living for a
second chance. I promise never to bother
you and mirabel ever again”
I was stunned when i re-ad the message, is
he for real? I find it ha-rd to believe.
Although, he made his point, but… he’s
backing out? How truthful is this??
