HE WAS A BILLIONAIRE Episode 16 – AUTHOURESS CAROLUCHY

**KELVIN’S POV**

I can’t believe Walter,what’s he saying,if not that’s he’s older I would’ve given him a hard slap.

“Are you high,Walter? Did you just ask me to kill my Special? Is that supposed to be a joke!!”

I yelled out ,ignoring the presence of his lord whatever.

He turned to the so-called lord, pleading to his lord not to get angry.

“I gave you a million naira, years ago,and this is what  and where you ended up?”I snapped again, losing it.

“You think it’s that easy Kelvin ,you think I love it this way but if you have to be among,this is Nigeria,they all in the high places belong somewhere,you have to make some sacrifices,this brotherhood is one of the best they only collect once and then leave you to live your life peacefully. You are the youngest here and got a lot of future ahead of you,you can get married again and  have another Spe…”

I slapped the remaining words back to his epiglottis.

Ready to get physical with him, ignoring the looks on other members’ faces.

“Nothing will ever make me hurt my daughter, not even your death threats!”

I thundered and turned to leave but  then I realized I  couldn’t move my body.

That was the moment it hit me that these people aren’t joking. Tears clouded my eyes and I shed like a child.

“Walter, I can’t move a limb”.

I trembled, my voice was so breaking that Walter literally felt it.

Walter started pleading on my behalf.

“Please,Great one,temper justice with mercy, please I beg ,have mercy”.

“He had to pay for disrespecting the great karishika!!!”

The man whom he begged snapped in anger.

I knew I was done for. All I could think of was my sweet daughter at this point of life and death.

My poor baby ,what will happen to you,God please help me out of this situation.

“Walter..!! Walter!!!

I yelled this ,crying out loud but Walter backed off and stood there as he was instructed.

The members started their cult chants,and incantations.

“This is not helping,you sold me out….”I cried out to Walter again.

“You could have just agreed,”Walter replied coldly.

I interrupted with disinterest .

“Walter,I will forgive you on one Condition,you will take good care of Special and nothing should hurt her”.

I felt my head light,and my brain blank,I collapsed on the floor.

**AUTHOURESS’S POV**

“Kelvin!!,Kelvin??”

Walter shook him, screaming his head off.

“I begged you not to take this life, great one!!”

Walter yelled angrily.

Kelvin stood up and started laughing uncontrollably, to his shock.

He called him but Kelvin continued his laughter.

“That’s the only way ,I can favor you as a dedicated member of this society,get rid of him as soon as possible his days are numbered”.

The leader called to Walter’s attention.

Walter managed to hold Kelvin then bowed.

“My daughter! My Special (laughs crazily) everything I have”.

Mad Kelvin snapped.

“Don’t worry I will take you to your daughter”

Walter replied blankly.

He bowed to his lord  again and took Kelvin out of the house.

Getting to the garage, he managed to force Kelvin to enter the car.

Outside he rubbed his sweats off his face thinking about everything that happened,if he had known that Kelvin was that stubborn ,he blamed himself but he really meant well for Kelvin.

  Sometimes you need to do bad and deal  with the pain,but Kevin is not that kind of man,who will kill a fellow because of a piece of paper,that will definitely be left behind after life on this earth, no matter what not to talk of his Special.

Walter entered the car and engaged his engine.

He drove straight to his house,he had to think of how to get rid of Kelvin.

Lucky for him there were no police check points on his way home.

He planned to get men who will dispose of Kelvin.

In one of the villages in the southwest part of the country.

**SPECIAL’S POV**

“Dear diary ,today again daddy hasn’t called yet,he told me last time he will be getting his job too,I guess he was too busy for me,so sad(frown),but maybe he will call today,bye diary”.

“Special, are you not done yet?”

My roomie Kamsy called out,I put my diary back in my cupboard,picked up my evening lesson book and left the room.

On our way to the classroom,I wonder if I should go ask Madam  about dad,maybe she will call him for me. Next week is our visiting day and I can’t wait to meet him after a long time”.

“Why are you pale? What’s the matter?”

Kamsy broke into my thoughts.

“Nothing”.

“I know what, you miss your daddy,what else will make you pale,calm down na ,next week he will visit and you will have all day to chat together”.

I managed to smile, that is a reason to be hopeful.We got into our class and the teacher entered.

We all stood up and greeted her

She started teaching but I was still thinking of my daddy. What if he is sick? The last time we were together, he had a cough.

I raised my hand.

“Yes ,what is the  special answer, Special?”

“No…mah what to ask for permission”.

Her face seemed disappointed.

“Alright”.

She accepted.

I thanked her and ran towards the headmistress’s office. She’s in the office, thank God.

I knocked and entered.

“Good day Aunty Gina”.

“Yes? how are you special”

“I am fine thank you?”I smiled with gratitude.

“Can I help you with anything?”

I hesitated, then nodded.

“Daddy …please mah can you call daddy for me”.

“That’s why you left your class!!,is next week not a visiting day? Why won’t you allow that man to rest? Are you a toddler?”she snapped in annoyance.

I shook my head,holding  back my emotions.

“Now go back to class when your Dad calls I will tell him,he spoiled you alot,your class is ongoing and you are thinking of talking with your dad,my friend leave this office”She yelled at me.

I guess I came at the wrong time.

“Sorry mah”.

“Sorry for yourself”.

I walked out slowly,I was tearful after her scolding but she’s right somehow,I have to focus on my studies first.

I quickly dried my eyes so that my classmates wouldn’t make a joke of me.

I became more focused than ever,writing my feelings in my diary. Next Saturday I will surely meet Daddy and he will read and see how much pain he caused me.

I pouted my lips annoyed.

“Dear diary,on Saturday I will fill this page with photos of dad and me. We will take the school instant photo camera,I miss dad so much,I hope he’s alright,can’t wait to hug him”.

I smiled and fell asleep afterwards.

**AUTHOURESS’S POV**

“This one na new mad man oooo”

One of the passersby  snapped out, after they saw Kelvin dining in the waste dump.

“I saw some men drop him off last night ,dem don use the man do ritual”

A young man told his friends.

“A young handsome, promising man chai!!”

Another onlooker said.

**A WEEK LATER THE D_DAY**

**SPECIAL’S POV**

Our school was decorated,I was the first to wake then I tapped Kamsy for morning prayers.

After our prayers,I brushed my teeth, took my bath and parked my awards and diary and decorated my desk. Dad will come inside and see them.

“Why are you getting ready?it’s early,shebi he lives in Abuja,it will take time,my parents live there too,but I am not in a rush like you”.

“Well Kamsy you won’t understand”I replied.

She shook her head and yawned.

“Help me put my hair into a bun please”.

I gave her a hair band to do that.

She reluctantly sat up , I too sat down in front of her,on her bed,she got good hair skills, and within a short time ,my long natural hair was all glammed up.

“You’re the best Kamsy!!!”

I picked my bag and rushed out.

“It’s 6am! Aren’t you going to wait for breakfast!!”

She won’t understand,I lost my appetite,the only thing I got an appetite for, is seeing my dad again.

I sat in front of the school hall ,which is opposite the gate waiting.

I literally fell asleep, until I heard car hunks.

Parents are coming!!!

I ran out excited like everyone else , people were much. Each family greeting their kids with hugs and kisses.

I smiled excitedly,running here and there searching for Dad. I saw uncle Walter’s car.

“Daddy!!”

I ran towards it,almost got hit ,the driver parked by the side but wasn’t not uncle Walter,it’s another student’s dad.

“Sorry sir”

I chuckled.

They got identical cars,I stood there still searching.

I decided to go back to the lodge maybe , I didn’t see the time he passed and maybe he’s there already waiting for me.

I rushed back to lodge but was disappointed,he’s not there also

I started getting worried.

I only saw Kamsy dressing up

“Did my dad come here Kamsy?”

“Special stop overreacting,he will be here, my parents are coming from Abuja too ,but they’re not here yet”.

“Are you sure he is alright?I am worried Kamsy,other parents are here already,it’s 12pm…”

I sobbed loudly.

“Well those parents live within the state and nearby states stop crying,are my parents here already? You see ,don’t worry he will be here”.

I nodded.

She finished dressing.

“Let’s wait for them here,I don’t have strength to go to the school gate”.

“But it will be easier for them to find us, especially dad,it’s his first time coming on a visiting day”I replied.

She hesitated then agreed.

We both walked hand in hand to the hall, watching the other kids with their family.

“John’s whole family tree visited lol,big coolers for John, he is a foodie,they even set up a tent”Kamsy said.

“Even the grandma aww,she is feeding John”.

I just rested my head on her shoulder, not interested in what she was saying.

“I miss my dad more watching at their reunions”I replied.

Just then Kamsy jumped joyfully.

“That’s my daddy car!!”

I ran with her and greeted her family.

They were nice and welcoming.

“Mom, she is my roomie and best friend”.

Kamsy introduced.

“Hy dear”her parents chorused.

I greeted them again blushing,Kamsy carried her youngest sister ,who may be a year plus, from her mom’s arms.

“Come on, let’s go back to the lodge, you will wait for your dad there”Kamsy suggested.

“Don’t worry I will wait here”.

I replied.

“Her family is not here yet?”her mom asked.

We both shook our heads.

“Well it’s 2pm,maybe something is delaying,don’t worry he will be here soon”

Her father added.

I nodded, smiled,thanked them, and they left teasing Kamsy.

My heart started pounding uncontrollably.

Something’s  delaying?

I hope the car didn’t break down or something happened on the way

I felt my eyes wet, I tried not to cry ,but seeing everyone with his and her family

It was impossible not to cry.

Dad I miss you so much,I pray and hope you arrive safely,I  will wait here.

💔HE WAS A BILLIONAIRE 💔

EPISODE 17

     SPECIAL’S POV

I waited till dawn ,the visitors started leaving one by one but still no sign of daddy.

Did dad forget about our visiting day?

Is everything okay?

Did something happen to him?

A Lot was going on my mind just then I saw Kamsy’s family leaving, they looked towards where I was standing, I quickly hid myself cleaning my face dry.

Few minutes later, Kamsy came to me.

“Special, let’s go back to the lodge, they will close the gate soon”.

“No I am going to wait for daddy”

I sobbed uncontrollably.

She sighed.

“Maybe something came up, he might visit tomorrow”.

I shook my head crying.

“Special, please let’s go in, the security will not take it likely if they see you here instead of the lodge”.

“What if something happened to him?”I cried out.

“Don’t say such,I promise I will help you and beg Madam to call him, you will see, he will answer and you two will talk,please let’s in,stop crying or you get sick,mosquitoes are even biting outside”.

She offered me a hand.

I reluctantly stood up, without accepting her hand offer.

I hugged my dairy crying, Kamsy followed by patting on my back to console me.

We got to our room, I couldn’t stop crying,

“Here my parents bought me this”.

Kamsy said and put a tray of chicken and chips on my table.

Then she divided her gifts into two and gave me one part of it.

“I don’t want it Kamsy, Thanks”.

I said carrying them, crying.

“Special at least accept it,it’s not good to return gifts”.

She persuaded me.

I ignored her and lay down on my bed,faced the wall and cried silently.

Kamsy came and slept with me on the same bed.

At night she woke up and pulled me to the bathroom. I developed a fever.

Kamsy was really nice to me, I on the other hand, I was crying, impatiently waiting for tomorrow so as to speak with dad.

**THE NEXT MORNING **

I was really weak but I managed to get to the bathroom to prepare for the morning class.

“Special?”

Kamsy knocked on the door.

“I am in here”

I sobbed.

“Don’t tell me you are still crying, anyway I just spoke with Madam this early morning, she said I should call you”.

I was excited ,so excited,I ran out of the bathroom.

“Thanks so much Kamsy,you’re the best”I snapped and hugged her.

She chuckled

“So your sickness is already gone? Daddy’s girl”.

After bathing, I put on my school day wear and picked my diary.

“Hey!!”

She snapped, holding a sachet of pure water and panadol sachet.

I smiled and went back to collect it from her.

“After meal,relax you will talk to your dad,and he must visit today ooo,I will even talk to him myself”.

She stated with arched brows.

I thanked her and ate a little from her food flask .

She handed the drug and water.

After taking the drug,I rushed out of the room.

“I will right there”

She yelled after me.

I smirked and jogged to madam’s office

Getting there I did the cross sign and knocked.

“Yes, come in”.

My heart started pounding.

I pray silently that she won’t reject my request again.

“Oh Special, Kamsy told me you cried all night eh,daddy’s baby”.

I smiled embarrassed, so relieved when she took her phone.

“Sit down, let me call him for you”.

I thanked her with a bow and sat down.

She dialed the number so many times that we both became worried.

I would have cried out loudly but because I am with madam ,I sealed my lips but the tears rolling down was unstoppable.

“I guess he must be busy,go outside, let me call my brother Walter, I will let you know if your daddy is with him ,so he can give him the phone”.

I wiped my wet face and nodded.

I walked out of the door slowly,Kamsy met with me.

“What happened?”

She whispered.

“His number is not going”

I cried.

She hugged me consoling me

“Maybe it’s the network”.

          AUTHORESS’S POV

As soon as Special went outside ,Mrs Gina dialed Walter’s number.

After several trials he finally picked up.

“Hello?”

“Please give Kelvin the phone, I want to talk with him”.

Gina replied.

He suddenly went silent for some time.

“Hello, can’t hear you ,no service”.

“Walter, I know you can hear me,what’s going on, say something because…”

Walter cuts in.

“Kelvin went into drugs and went mad”.

“What nonsense!”

“I am not joking”.

“So what am I supposed to do with that information?What will happen to his daughter, Special?”

“Just tell her something else, she is a kid and can be easily brainwashed,”Walter replied.

“Special is smarter than you idiot, she and her father were inseparable so you tell me how she will be brainwashed?”

Few minutes of silence.

“Emmm,please take her in, i will be sending money for her upkeep”.

“Are you mad?What will I tell my husband?”

“That drunkard..what will he do?”

“Mind your words!”

“Sis please, I am busy ,talk to you later..”.

“Come back oo,what will I tell her .”she snapped.

Walter sighed.

“Just give her the phone”.

Mrs Gina went out of the office and found Special crying, the excitement on her face was priceless when she gave her the phone.

“Hello daddy!!!”

Her scream attracted students’ attention from the classrooms.

“It’s me your uncle walter”

Her face turned pale.

“Come in”

Gina instructed.

She followed Mrs Gina into her office.

“Is my daddy okay?”

Worried, Special asked with quivering lips.

“Yes dear he is absolutely fine”.

She exhaled deeply.

“But not in the country where he is ,he can’t make calls or receive any calls,so please pray for daddy if he gets this contract done, he will be back soon and take you overseas, you will go with him to America”.

Special wasn’t excited about the news, her tears continued flowing.

“I am just glad he is okay”.

She sobbed and gave the phone to Mrs Gina.

“Also he is….”

Gina cuts in.

“I am the one with the phone,she left sad”.

Walter sighed.

“Please take good care of her for me,let her stay with you during the holidays”.

“What exactly is wrong with her father ,is he dead?”

Mr Walter hung up.

“Hmmm,I knew it,this is your money and cars everywhere Walter, no problem, let me believe you”.

She said and put her phone down.

SPECIAL’S POV

I annoyed Kamsy with my cries. She had to sleep in another room with one of our lodge mates, since I couldn’t stop crying.

I draw a caricature figure of dad and talk to it instead,I really wish it could say something back.

Our exam is fast approaching and I am not even studying as I should.

After some days, uncle Walter kept calling and telling me to pray for dad,that he will be back soon.

I decided not to just cry,but cry to God in prayer,I studied and hope one day I will see my daddy again.

AUTHORESS POV

The common entrance exam was yesterday.

Special did her best to give her best.

Her father’s absence was such a burden to her ,that she got paler and thin.

Her teachers got worried and asked her a lot of questions.

“Where are your bags special?”

Mrs Gina asked.

Special brought her bags, and Kamsy helped her with another.

They both put it inside Mrs Gina’s booth.

“Will miss you Special”.

Her bestie sobbed.

They both hugged each other in tears.

Mrs Gina opened the car door for special.

“When are your parents coming to take you home, Kamsy?”

“Tomorrow mah”.

“Alright”.

She entered the car and drove off.

“You will stay with me for sometime ,your dad will be back, okay?”

“Yes mah”Special managed to smile.

“Can I call you mummy?”

Mrs Gina was silent for some time.

“Why?”

“I don’t have one”.

She looked at special from the mirror

“Sure,no problem”.

Special hugged her from the back

“Hey, I’m driving!”

She scolded.

“Sorry mom”.

She laid down on the backseat,memories of Cynthia, her birth mom Sarah and her sweet dad,brought tears into her eyes,she closed them tightly ,forcing herself to stop crying.

**Somewhere in the southern region of the country **

Kelvin was trekking to and fro the road.

He looked thin and unkempt.

one could nearly recognize him,if you once knew him.

A car loading passengers was parked on the other side .

He walked over to them smiling crazily

“Take me to Special”

He politely asked the conductor.

Who ignored him since he is a mad man and also where the heck is Special located? Mad man’s address?

“Na 500 madam fuel don cost,if you no wan go ,comot for my car”.

Kelvin tapped the angry conductor.

“Take me to Special”.

The man gave him a punch to the face that made his nose bleed.

“What is it, dem send you?”

He snapped and ran around to look for a weapon to scare Kelvin away.

“Leave him, na mad man nah”

A passenger snapped.

“Make him leave him for where,because  you no dey stay for door side,that mad mab dey smell like corpse, na me you wan make him give infection,(spits)”.

A man who was seated by the door side  snapped back angrily at the other passenger angrily.

The conductor chased Kelvin ,and stoning him with an object,each landing on Kelvin.

Kelvin was crazily crying like a baby running for his life, screaming.

“I didn’t do anything , just take me back to my Special!”

His loose trousers hanging between his legs,he will fall and stand up running again.

“Your father!!,dem send you “

The conductor cursed, returning back to his bus.

“Ehiyaa,chai he sound like an educated man,his english is clean”

A passenger woman said pitifully.

“As in”

Another supported.

The last passenger entered and they drove off

Kelvin returned seeing his tormentor was gone.

Crying and pulling his trousers, his crown was  bleeding.

People gathered watching the scene.

“I didn’t do anything , I just want to go back to  Special”.

He cried to them , showing anyone who cares to know the bleeding crown on the head.

He suddenly laughed,seeing an incoming vehicle

“I am going to special “

He jumped into the busy road, and a crashing  sound was heard, people screamed at the terrific sight.
