#EPISODETHIRTEEN

My heart was beating so fast.

I didn’t even know how to repond to him.

I couldn’t defend myself because I knew that the battle had just begun.

I kicked the divorce paper away. “Is it a crime to be Dennis’s daughter?”.

“No, but it is a crime to be a liar. I trusted you so much”.

“Why are you so wary of me for just this little thing?”.

He shrugged. “I just feel like, for you to lie about your father, you have bad intentions”.

“I don’t. I didn’t know him before he died so I don’t really regard him as my father”.

“We have nothing to do with the death of your father”. He looked away.

I watched him closely and realized that he knew about what Jennifer had done to my father. “Will it be too much to ask if I replace my father?”

“Why?”

“…I can’t leave Bower bound”.

“…but you can leave my grand son, right?”.

“I won’t divorce him but I will leave”. I tore the divorce paper. “I will return”.

“Don’t you dare try me!!!”. He raged.

“I am your true daughter in law, Brian Roland”. I walked out of his room.

I walked into the room that i was sharing with Raymond and brought out my clothes from the wardrobe.

I folded them into my suitcase.

Raymond stood up impatiently from the bed. “What do you think you are doing?”.

“What does it look like?”. I didn’t look up at him.

“What did grandfather tell you?”.

“I lied to grandfather”.

“About what?”.

“Find out yourself”.

He snatched my suitcase from me. “You are going nowhere. We can sort it out”.

“I am the daughter of the ex-fashion designer of Bower bound, Jacob Dennis”.

He gasped. “Why didn’t you say it all these while?”

I snatched back my suitcase from him and rushed out of the room.

He followed me from behind.

Grandfather had already gathered everyone in the sitting room and told them everything.

Jane Roland was so disappointed in me.

I was ashamed.

Raymond rushed towards his grandfather. “We can sort this out. Don’t allow her leave this house, grandfather”.

Pa Brian ignored him and fumed at me.

I walked out of the mansion with my suitcase.

I didn’t use my car.

After all it was bought for me by the Rolands.

I was pulling my suitcase and heading out of the compound when I heard a car drive out from behind.

It was Collins Roland.

He smiled heartily at me. “Why didn’t you tell me that you were Mr Chap’s daughter all these while?”.

I remembered the evidence that implicates Henry Roland that he had thrown into the river the other day and walked on.

“I am sorry about everything, Gold”.

Another car over took him from behind.

It was Raymond’s car.

He got out of his car and pulled me into it.

He drove on. “I am sorry about grandfather”. He apologized without meeting my eyes as he focused on the road.

My heart hurt that I had hurt him. “Ray, I am sorry I lied to you about my father”.

He looked worriedly at me. “I will book an hotel for you”.

“No, I have to be with my mother. I need her right now”.

He nodded thoughtfully and dropped a bundle of money on my laps. “I will be sending money to you until I have succeeded in convincing grandfather”.

I leaned to k-ss him on his forehead. “I promise you that I will be back”.

“Of course you will”.

When he dropped me in front of my house, I panicked.

Will my mum be disappointed in me that I got exposed too fast?

I pulled my suitcase from behind and knocked on the door.

My mother was the one that opened because my brothers were not around.

She pulled me into the room and helped me with my suitcase. “You had a fight with grandfather?”.

I sobbed uncontrollably. “Grandfather knows about father”.

She was not surprised. “So? Is that why he told you to leave?”.

“Grandfather is definitely hiding something from us”.

“Are you alright? You look very tired”. She made me sit on the bed.

I felt nausea again and rushed to the bathroom to vomit.

Was it the stress of everything that was happening to me?

My mother excitedly hugged me from behind.

“Mum?”.

“No matter what, the Rolands can’t defeat us. We have won”.

I released her and looked into her face. “What are you talking about, mum?”.

“You are pregnant! You are carrying the baby of the Rolands in your womb right now. Gold, you are pregnant!!!”.

Jennifer Roland combed her hair and smiled at her reflection in the mirror.

It was the D-DAY to release the treasure.

The treasure that will change Bower bound around and make her the CEO of Bower bound.

The treasure that she had stolen from Dennis a long time ago.

Matilda walked into her room. “The board members are already waiting”.

Jennifer smiled to herself. “How do I look?”.

“You look like a cute little baby”.

They burst into laughter.

“Can you see now how life has turned around for us? I always knew that there was something not right with that Gold of a girl. She was actually the daughter of Dennis”.

“She has not divorced him yet. Are you sure that I still have a chance?”.

“Raymond has not fallen in love with Gold yet. He is only fond of her. Now is your time to comfort him and get your way into his heart”.

“…but Raymond has not forgiven me since I had lied to him”.

“Raymond does not have a heart of malice. It will be easy peasy. Now, I need to go for the board meeting and you need to esc-rt me to the place”. She held her hand and they walked out of the room excitedly.

Pa Brian was dressed up.

Jennifer gasped at the sight of him. “Father, where are you going?”.

“Where does it look like I am going?”. He walked out of the house.

Matilda nudged her. “Are you sure we will be able to accomplish this?”.

“Grandfather is not my target. The shareholders are. Imagine if they withdraw their shares because of me?”

Jennifer Roland smiled and bowed immediately she got to the board room. “I have a design worth forty billion naira. Once it gets to the market, it will buy times two of your shares each. I need your votes to become the heir to Bower bound company with the promise of giving the forty billion to Bower bound company”.

Pa Brian fumed at her. “Are you indirectly selling Bower bound for forty billion naira?”.

Jennifer cleared her throat. “Have you noticed our losses ever since our fashion designer disappeared? If you ignore this plea of mine, you will all suffer losses”.

“Jennifer, how dare you!!!”. Zac fired at her.

Raymond sighed deeply.

The shareholders began to drop their votes one after the other.

As they dropped their votes, the door pushed open.

Gold Roland walked in with mr Chap (Dennis).

There was chaos in the hall.

“…but Dennis is dead, why is he here? “. They muttered fearfully.

Pa Brian panicked.

Mr Chap dropped a design on the table. “This design is worth two hundred billion naira. It will only be given to Bower bound if Raymond Roland is voted in as heir. So, who is still voting for Jennifer Roland?”.
