🌹CHAPTER 65 & 66🌹

___________
________

Emmanuel was surrounded by press immediately his car entered the building. His wh0le body system were in disarray as he was sweating despite being under air conditioner.

The press was bombarding him with questions that he don’t k ow how to answer. He managed to killed the engine and got out of the car.

🎤Are you aware of the happenings in the bank?

🎤How did such happen when you’re the manager?

🎤Are you sure you know nothing about it?

🎤We heard that your personal company is also in huge debts….what can you say about that too?

🎤Can you trace the transaction?

These and more questions were being thrown to him that all he does is just to look like a caught thief. He can’t explain what is happening and how it happened.

“If this is a dream, please God wake me up.” He said within him.

He can’t remember the last time he called that name “God” maybe when he was reciting his vows.

Minutes later, the security came to his rescue and led him in,side the bank…but only to meet the shock of his life.
Seated in his office is the governor of the bank.

His jaw was opened and he couldn’t close it for some minute.

“You can leave.” The governor told the securities and they left remaining just the two of them.

“Good morning sir..” he managed to muttered.

The governor didn’t replied his greeting as he just told him to trace the transaction of the missing money. Emmanuel did by checking the system but nothing was found.

If it was to be someone with health issues, he ought to have fainted or even pass out by now .

“What can you say about it?” He asked him.

“Sir…I knew absolutely nothing about this. It came so unexpected sir.” Emmanuel pleaded.

“You don’t need all these pleadings. You know the amount we’re talking about here… You can’t pay it all up in your wh0le lifetime. Just go and find a competent lawyer to vindicate you…but still I’m not guaranteeing your safety.” The governor said and made to walked out of the office when he stopped and said to him…

“Sometimes, something like this happen. I’m surprised and shocked about how it happened to you. But whatever the case, look for a more than competent lawyer.” The governor said and left his office leaving Emmanuel to his problems.

He fell into his knees and cried like a little baby. His heart was shattered into pieces. Truly, there are some heartbreak that are greater than relationsh¡p heartbreak. If care is not taken,he could land in jail -30 years imprisonment.

“Look for a more than competent lawyer.” The words kept ringing in his ear.

And the only competent lawyer that came to his mind at that moment is no other person than Cindy’s Father – Lawyer James.

*****

EVENING 🕖

As soon as Cindy left the hospital, she drove to her parents place. Lawyer James was the only one at home.

“My pretty daughter.” Lawyer James said happily as soon as she entered.

“Sweet dad!” She said and hugged her dad tightly.

“How have you been? Hope you’re coping well?” He asked as She took her seat beside him.

” Yeah…all thanks to…”

Lawyer James interrupted her.

” Samuel, right?” He said

Cindy nodded and smiled.

” He’s been there for me always and even yesterday..I can’t believe I scaled through that shock. But I’m fine now dad.” Cindy said .

” Good to hear.. how’s your husband? Has he got to know? ” He asked.

” That’s why I’m here dad. I wanna make everything clear to you. I don’t want to live in the past anymore. there are some things I’m keeping away from you and dad. But before saying anything, I’m famished. ” She said.
.
” And mum, where is she? ” She added.

“Your mother cooked before leaving for the mall earlier… So you can settle yourself.” Lawyer James said.

” What did she prepared? ” She asked.

” Rice, I guess. ” He answered.

” I’m coming… I’m hungry. ” She said and left.

Lawyer James smiled and wondered if Cindy knew about the latest happenings in town right now.

“At least, she’s happy.” He muttered switching his gaze to the TV.

“Really? It’s on the news already!” He said as the TV displayed the latest happenings about Emmanuel.

“Dad… This is so…” Cindy said coming into the living room when her eyes went to the TV and Emmanuel’s picture was glaring right at her.

“What happened to Emmanuel?” She asked taking her seat beside his dad again and eating at the same time.

“Money embezzlement. I can’t believe you don’t know what’s happening to your husband. What type of a wife do you want to be? You should be the first person to know..” Lawyer James said.

” Dad! Just listen to me first before taking law in your hands.” Cindy said.

” What did you got to say? ” He asked trying to be calm..

” I have to eat first. I’m so much hungry. ” Cindy said amidst mouthful of rice.

” But, you ain’t even moved seeing your husband on TV charged with money embezzlement. Show concern Naomi, this isn’t who I trained you to be. ” Lawyer James said…

” Dad… Can I eat in peace?” She said as she looked away enjoying her food as his dad watched her.

Seconds later, Mrs Veronica walked in. She smiled widely immediately she sighted her daughter.

“Daughter!” She said as she moved closer to her.

“Mum! I’ve asked of you. Hope you bought popcorn?” She asked as they exchanged pleasantries.

“Sure… You know your dad don’t joke with it. So, you can have it. ” Mrs Veronica said

Cindy smiled at her mum..

” Thank you mum. I love you. ” She said

Mrs Veronica took her seat opposite them.

” Honey… Are you okay? ” She asked her husband

” Ask your daughter. ” He answered.

” My daughter? Not our daughter? ” Mrs Veronica questioned.

” Mum, don’t mind daddy. I’ll make everything clear to you both soon. But first I need to eat. I get lot of appetite today. ” Cindy said.

Cindy continued eating and they’re watching her like she’s some movie.

“Babe… there’s a company looking for a worker – secretary post.” George told Alice on the dining.

” Really? Where? When is their interview?” She asked eagerly.

” I can see you badly need this job. Well, their interview is next week . Will you apply?” He asked.

” You’re still asking me. I’m applying right away.” She said

” I wish you well then. Just be yourself. I pray you get the job.” He said.

” Amen. I can’t really wait to be working ” she said and her thought went to the happy and easy life she was living back then in Samuel’s house. No stress, just wake up, cook and sleep. What a good life. Now, her past spoiled everything for her.

“Next life…if I exist, I will do it more better .” She concluded within her as she smiled at George.

“Dad? Mum? I want to divorce Emmanuel after all he’s the father of my baby and there’s nothing that holds is together again.” Cindy said.

Her parents was just staring at her like she was performing arts. She then went ahead and explain everything to them from what happened or on their wedding night till date without leaving a word out of it.

“This is serious! And you kept this away from us?”

“I thought he’d change…but I was wrong . Ellen has told me to tell you both but I was on his side then but not anymore. I wanna be on my own. As you can see I wasn’t wearing his ring.” Cindy said.

” Will you be fine alone? ’cause I respect any decision you make. You’re an adult and knee what’s good/bad for yourself.” Lawyer James said.

” Now, that he has been arrested, what do we do?”

” I’m less concerned. It’s none of my business…the only thing he deserve from me is what I’m gonna send to him latest, next week. I’m packing out of his house this week. And I’d soon start working on my own…I’m done with the building.” She said.

Mrs Veronica and lawyer James smiled broadly hearing the last statement she just said.

The building was such a big one and they were so marvelled that she eventually succeeded without collecting any penny from anyone.

” Well done my daughter…I am so proud of you.” They said.

” Thanks ma. Thank you dad. So, I’d be taking my leave now.” She said

” Sleep over now..” lawyer James said.

“No, I’m heading to my house now… I’d hire people that we pack my stuffs for me and they’d bring it to me….I’m not going to his house again not again!” She said

Her phone rang… It’s Samuel calling.

Her face lit up with smile as she picked it happily.

📲Babe

📞Sam.

They exchanged pleasantries.

📲I have two surprises for you tomorrow.

📞Really? Why not tonight?

📲No…but tomorrow.

📞I can’t wait then…

They talked some more before the call ended.

“I’m leaving…” She said

“About the test, when is the result coming out?” Lawyer James asked

“Tomorrow dad.” She answered.

“Alright then. Just be careful.” He said and she pecked them both before leaving .

“Are you sure we’re doing good by supporting her every decisions?” Mrs Veronica asked.

“Of course. At this point of her life, she owns it and we don’t need to pressure her over any matter because she’s going through a lot and we need to be an understanding parents to her. All she needs now is our full support. ” Lawyer James said.

” Alright… I agree with you.” She said.

” Do you know that Emmanuel called me earlier today …for me to be his lawyer?” Lawyer James said.

” Really? He has such a gut to call you after doing all that for my daughter?” Mrs Veronica flared up

” Calm down woman. That’s why I didn’t mentioned it to Cindy. I know she’d not allow me to be lawyer as well. This life is so simple…my dear let me help him. Do you realize how much troubles he’s in? If I don’t help, someone else will do.” He said

” But still, I don’t want that. Didn’t he think that he may need our help someday when he was busy maltreating my daughter?”

” I know but one thing is sure. Life is unpredictable. This is just to tell you that he is not for daughter. Our daughter deserve the best not him.” He said and Mrs Veronica was viewing it from his view too.

” Well, let’s do ours for God’s sake. I just hope they won’t include my daughter in his case.”

” Not at all. I won’t allow that. Trust your husband!’

Mrs Veronica smiled.

Then, they heard a knock on their door and even before saying ‘enter’.
The person hurriedly came in,side sweating and crying.

“Please lawyer, you’re the only lawyer everyone is recommending to us. Please save my son…please don’t behave to him as he did to your daughter. I know we don’t deserve this from you but pls help us.” Mrs Jenny was crying rolling on the floor.

Both lawyer James and his wife we’re surprised as they don’t expect it to be up to this.

“Sit down first..”

“No. Let me be like this until you say you’ll be of help to us.” Mrs Jenny sobbed.

*****
Mimi made up her mind to spill the truth ’cause it doesn’t make any senses if the paternity test doesn’t match with the IVF record. She’s in a big mess and she’s looking forward to confessing the truth to Fred.

****

Samuel wondered if Cindy didn’t know what’s going on with her husband when he called her ’cause she seem fine and okay. He called Ellen and asked her if she knew the lastest happening in town and Ellen knew about it including Fred.

Samuel made Ellen know that Cindy didn’t show like she knew at all and Ellen told him to just let her be.

“She’s going through a lot.. let’s respect anything she bring to us. I definitely know she knew just acting strong.” Was Ellen’s response.

****
Cindy got to her mansion and broke down in tears

“Emmanuel…how did this happen to you?” She cried but after few minutes, she stopped crying

“You don’t deserve my tears. I hate you!” She declared and cleaned her face.

“Emmanuel…” She muttered again.
