“Great job young man, you just ruined a perfectly good party but who the hell let you in?” Irene asked angrily.
“I sponsored your wedding of course so I was invited here” Austin said rudely.
“What the fuck are you talking about? So many other people sponsored my wedding and I don’t think you are one of them” Irene retorted angrily
“Ask your husband” Austin told her then Irene looked at Collins.
“Collins, what is he talking about?” Irene asked
“It’s true Irene, he did sponsor our wedding but he told me he was Gold’s friend from secondary school and it was supposed to be a surprise”
“How could you Collins? Gold doesn’t keep male friends”
“You didn’t have any male friends in highschool?” Ethan asked.
“Not really well I did though in primary school”
“That’s weird” Ethan commented starring at Gold
“How was I supposed to know?” Collins asked.
“Why didn’t you tell me about it? I hate it when you keep things to yourself” Irene said a bit angry at him
“Mom and Dad, It’s enough you really shouldn’t blame dad because Austin is cunning”
“That hurt coming from you Gold”
“Hey, don’t you give up and how many times am I going to slam it into your ears that I don’t want you, I don’t need and I don’t fucking love you so why won’t you just let me be Austin? If you are desperate to find a girlfriend then why don’t you look for one and leave me alone” Gold sad angrily to Austin.
“You heard her Austin so stay away from my fiancee and tell your dad to watch his back” Fredrick threatened but Austin laughed.
“Very funny Fredrick, very funny but you should watch your back cousin and I want to withdraw my sponsorship of this wedding”
“What?” They all turned to look at Austin
“You heard me”
“Austin you bastard” Collins yelled at him.
“How much?” Irene asked
“One million dollars” Austin replied and Irene screamed.
“The hell, that’s a lot of money” Irene complained as she smacked Collins shoulders
“Collins, why on earth would you accept that huge amount of money without telling me”
“I’m sorry my love, It won’t happen again” Collins pleaded
“One million dollars? What? did you borrow a loan to get that you know since your business is bankrupt now” Fredrick mocked
“That should be my business Fredrick”
“Well, it’s my business now Austin but are you trying to mock me or you are trying to mock yourself?” Fredrick asked with a smirk.
“Oh my God Fredrick is such a badass” Austin said and Fredrick chuckled.
“I’m glad you know that” Fredrick answered proudly
“Fuck you Fredrick” Austin said angrily
“One million dollars is a meagre amount of money Austin and how could you get that poor to redraw a sponsorship.
I’m not a bad cousin Austin so let me make you an offer. My company is in need of a janitor so you can apply but don’t worry because you will get the job” Fredrick said and Ethan couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Not funny Fredrick but actually I changed my mind and I don’t want the money again. I want Gold instead” Austin said giving Fredrick a darling look
“What? are you crazy and do I look like a commodity to you?” Gold asked him angrily.
“How dare you? You’re trying to buy my fiancee?” Fredrick fired back as well
“It’s business Fredrick”
“You bastard, what makes you think I will let you have my daughter?” Irene yelled at him
“You don’t have a choice here and I don’t think you want to end up in prison either” Austin said referring to Collins
“I dare you Austin”
“You can’t do nothing Fredrick but I don’t think you want Gold’s parents to spend their lives in jail”
“Bastard, you are insane!” Irene yelled.
“One last chance Austin and don’t make me ruin you for life”
“You can do nothing Fredrick and I dare you”
“Fuck! You brought this upon yourself” Fredrick said as brought out his phone and made a phone call.
“I wonder who he’s calling” Gold thought inwardly
“Who is he calling?” Austin asked a bit skeptical
“You will find out soon” Ethan said patting his shoulders which he angrily brushed off.
“Do it” Fredrick said and ended the phone call.
“What did you do Fredrick? Austin asked
“I just ruined your life now so congratulations Austin because you’re now completely bankrupt but my job offer as a janitor still stands”
“How dare you Fredrick? You went too far” Austin yelled and tried to punch him but instead Fredrick held his hands and cleared him off the floor.
“That’s what you get for messing with me. Chike” Fredrick summoned one of his guards
“Yes boss” Chike immediately ran towards Fredrick
“Put Austin on the next flight to China”
“Oh no Fredrick You can’t do this to me but trust me, I will kill you” Austin yelled as he was been carried out.
“I don’t think so Austin See you in China whenever I have the strength to leave Nigeria” Fredrick said as the bundled Austin out of the hall and Irene turned towards them.
“Who is that kid? He clearly lacks manners” Irene asked
“He is Austin Damon and Fredrick’s evil cousin”
“Does he have a father?” Irene asked
“Yes mom but why the questions?” Gold asked her mum
“What’s his father’s name?” Irene asked again
“Damon Stanley” Irene said and Fredrick gasped
“Do you know him?” Gold asked her mum when she saw her facial expression.
“It all makes sense now so you are the Fredrick he talked about”
“Who are you talking about?” They all asked in unison.
IRENE POV
FLASHBACK
“I’ve done some really bad things Irene and I probably don’t deserve forgiveness” Dr Bright said to Irene
“No don’t say that Bright because you are a good man and you saved my life” Irene said to him in order to make him feel Good.
“I did that to redeem myself because I was selfish and greedy”
“What do you mean?”
“Mike isn’t my son Irene” Dr Bright said struggling to surviveNôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“What? How” Irene asked in amazement
“He is a Majesty” Bright said
“A Majesty? Who are the Majesty’s?” Irene asked confused by everything he was saying
“One of the most influential and wealthy family in Lagos” Dr Bright answered struggling to catch his breathe
“Lagos? You are really confusing me now then if Mike is not your son, how then did he end up with you?”
“Two brothers born in the family became enemies and rivals and they also passed the hatred to their children. Mike’s father is Fredrick Majesty and his uncle Damon used me to take Mike away from him”
“Oh my God but does this Fredrick in Question know about this?”
“No he doesn’t” Dr Bright answered with tears in his eyes
“Why are you telling me this?” Irene inquired
“I really don’t know Irene but I feel like my end is near”
“Your end? please Dr Bright, don’t say a thing like that”
“I want you to have something”
“What is it?” Irene asked but then he brought out a flash drive from his pocket and handed it to her.
“It’s the evidence so please help me find Fredrick and give him the justice he deserves”
“But…” Irene was about rejecting when he interrupted
“Consider it my last request” Dr Bright said and with that he gave up the ghost.
