This got mr uche angry,he then raise his voice
on chidi
Mr uche :you are holding my daughter and you are till proving right over it,and you dare say it to my face that you can’t hand over my daughter to me
Chidi shouted back at him
Chidi :well it was the same daughter you neglected for months, why do you need her now,or i know because of this devil who hurt your own daughter and you till choose him over her,what kind of a parent are you.
Mr uche :what i do with my daughter is none of your business, and i think you are the devil here,you are the one poisoning my daughter mind to turn her back on us her parents
Chidi got up in anger,he hate being accused over something he never did.
Chidi :how dare you,i don’t care if you are amara parents but I won’t take that from you,amare speak for herself and she knows what best for her,you are the one trying to destroy her life,you call yourself her parents but yet don’t know the value of her happiness.
Maxwell :i really don’t know why you are
killing yourself over this,she is already carring my child.
Mrs Jonathan was shocked to hear this.
Maxwell :and there is nothing you can do about
that
Chidih… there is so much i can do,i can get
married to her and take responsibility for that child,what if she delined you as the father you know they say it only the mother that knows the real father of her child
Maxwell :you are dead
Maxwell angrily stood up to hit chidi,the soldiers
immediately pointed the gun at him and he
immediately stop,chidi smiled
Chidi : put down your guns
And they both lower their guns
Chidi :maxwell like i said,this is my house so try to behave yourself.
Mrs Jonathan who was sitting down watching what was going on got angry.
Mrs Jonathan :that’s enough, i have been here watching you people fight over something i don’t understand, i really don’t know what to say in this now,Mr uche take your people, go home and come back tomorrow, let me first talk with my son.
Mr uche :no problem with that but try and talk
to him,he really need to be talked to.
Mrs Jonathan :like i said come back tomorrow,
and as for you young man,learn how to behave
in other people’s house, i might not be this kind next time,you may leave now.
Mrs uche :thank you very much for your time
we will surely be here.
They got up and walked away, maxwell gave chidi a deadly look while chidi return it with a smile, they were escorted by one of the soldier’s out of the sitting room.
Mrs Jonathan :i know it about that girl,chidi i am not stopping you in what ever you are having with that girl,i know everything that is going on
Chidi looked at his mother
Mrs Jonathan :yes I do and i don’t see what’s wrong in what you are trying to do but try and do it peacefully
Chidi :how could you know anything
Mrs Jonathan :dora told me a lot about maxwell and this amara.
Chidi was confused
Chidi :how could she knows maxwell, have she
met him before
Mrs Jonathan :that i don’t know,try and do the right thing chidi,
She got up
Mrs Jonathan :you can never marry her without
the concept of her parents always remember that,so try and bring her back
She say this and left chidi,chidi fall back to the couch,his mother words really got to him, could it be that maxwell and dora has been working together or dora just did a background check up on him,there were lots of things in his head.
Later that evening maxwell drove to an uncompleted building in a remote area,he parked and got down from the car,he entered the building,there were other three guys
waiting for him there, they were all smoking,they were all looking deadly.
Boy 1 :you are late

Boy 2:no problem
Maxwell :you will get your balance when the
deal is done
Boy 2:no wahala
maxwell :good.
Maxwell left,
Boy 2:boys let’s bounce
