CHAPTER 49

Mrs Benson was sitting in the living room when Simi walked in

“Hey ma. Good evening ma”

“Hello darling, how was your day”

“Hectic!!”

“You spend the whole day shopping and that’s hectic”

“Well mom , it is quite a struggle to get what you want in it’s perfect size”

“Indeed madam fashionista. How’s Nancy by the way I haven’t been seeing her around for awhile”

“She’s fine ma. Just busy lately”

“Is that so. Oh have you spoken to Jimi since yesterday”

“I did send him a text and he seem to be doing ok”

“He’s not picking my calls am sure he’s coming up with another excuse to not come home for the holidays”

“Mom, honestly I don’t think jimi wants to come home right now, he has alot going on that he needs to figure out before thinking about going anywhere”

“What is going on that he needs to figure out. He already tried with that stupid girl and that was just a complete waste of time now he has to focus on the company and getting himself out there”

“Mom pls don’t be like that”

“Like what”

“Like you’re oblivious to the fact that Jimi is actually in love for the first time in his life”

“Well that didn’t work out , how long is he suppose to pine over that for.”

“It’s only been two days”

“And so, he is a man he needs to get his acts together and you need to stop making excuses for your brother. Don’t you dare defend him like this when he’s here”

“Why not. He is longer living a dream reality struck him and he’s fully awoke so let’s stop deceiving ourselves. Jimi is far gone mom you need to see how he talks about this babe especially her daughter”

“Her whaaat!!” Mrs Benson snapped

“Ah you don’t know she has a daughter”

“That girl has a child ”

“Hmmm hmnn I think her name is Abby. Jimi won’t stop talking about her. It’s insane”

“Ah ‘egbami’ what’s all this nonsense”

“Dial your brother’s line for me right now”

“Is everything okay mommy”

“Call him already.”

“Okay” she dialed his number

“Do you know how old she is”

“I have no idea but she’s definitely old enough to have a conversation because Jimi keeps saying she says this and that.”

“Has he picked up his phone” she jumped up

“No mom he is not answering”

“Ehn God. So I’ve just been covering myself with a burning wrapper all this while. ”

“What’s going on mom”

“Your brother is getting himself tangled in this crazy girl’s scheme. And that’s about to end . Nobody messes with my son”

She head upstairs lamenting

“Okay mom you lost me there what are you talking about?”

HEART ROBBER : CHAPTER 41 – 50

Marty and Philip sat on the stairs by the veranda, it was late at night and they were just by themselves enjoying the sight of night fall

“Do you think there’s something we can do to rekindle the fire….. “Marty started
“.. Am sure if we think deeply we might be able to find something, do something to save their relationship”

“What do you think we can do”

“I can’t think of anything and it annoys me, as her friend as their friend, I should be able to come up with something but nothing is popping up”

“Am I not Jimi and Diana’s friend too, I feel just as bad to watch everything crumble and not be able to do anything”

“It’s almost like we were being selfish, we cared only about ourselves”

“You know that’s not true, we did our best but because it didnt work it now makes it look like we did nothing”

“Diana deserves to be happy, I just don’t understand why she’s completely shutting him off”

“With or without jimi…. You know we can’t force her”

“She’s too stubborn…. She won’t even tell me anything….”

“Am sure she has her reasons, The point is she thinks she will be making a mistake by agreeing to be with Jimi….”

“She is building a wall around her and even before the proposal she has already given up on jimi she was just playing along for some dumb reasons”

“Because she thinks he hasn’t changed
And he’s stuck up with his old ways…. But he isn’t, jimi has indeed changed, he’s completely transformed, to a better version, a reliable and trustworthy person…. I wish diana can see for herself . ” Philip explained

“Do you think he’ll go back to being the guy he was before diana at some point maybe he’s pretending and we don’t see what she’s seeing”

“I don’t know…. But I don’t think so, I hope not”

“I think that’s what she wants to sees, that all this is not a part of a game or something, that he doesn’t care about her and cannot truly loves her”

“So you think she’s testing him”

“I don’t know for sure it’s hard to tell what’s going on in Didi’s head”

“And I think jimi will prove her wrong and maybe everything can be fixed and we can’t put this awful trying period behind us”

HEART ROBBER : CHAPTER 41 – 50

The door bell wont stop ringing as diana hurried to open the door. It’s late already who is here now, she opened the dooe and the last person she was expecting showed up at her door step

“Mrs Benson” she called us in shock

“Miss ebenezer” mrs Benson plastered a big smile on her face

“Can I help you”

“No sweetie, I do not need your help”

“Then why are you here”

“Still the same stinging attitude, well…. Am just here to drop this off ”
she toss her a big envelope, Diana catches it with shock in her eyes

“What is this” she asked flipping the envelope on both sides

“Oh am sure you can read and if you think it’s cash…. Oh dear think again… I do not need to buy what is already mine”

“I don’t understand”

“Am sure you will, just take your time and read every content…. ”
She turned to leave then ki lled her tracks

“. Oh Kay let me try and summarize what’s in there for you….. so about seven years ago two sisters show up at my house begging me to accept a pregnancy that my son is responsible for, a pregnancy we couldn’t accept because we didn’t know for sure if it ours.

Seven years later down the same lane we cross paths with the daring little sister and boom she’s yet again in my son’s life but this time with the baby from seven years ago. am sure by now you understand the basis of the story and I don’t need to start stating the obvious”

Diana was wearing an exhausting frown
Mrs Benson figured it out
How long before Jimi comes knocking
Drained out of color Diana looked down at her toes

“What do you want Mrs Benson”

“A DNA test”

“What!”

“The maths add up sweetheart and I just want to make sure she’s actually my granddaughter”

“What makes you think I’ll let you anywhere near my daughter”

She scoffs
“If you know me you’ll know I never ask for permission to do things but am trying to do things the right way here. Don’t push me dear especially not now that I know about all your devious plans”

“I don’t want anything to do with your family Mrs Benson. So just take your shtty envelope and your speculations straight to h’ll because my daughter is mine not yours”

“Like I said am going to have my way whether or not you approve”

“That’s your business”
She cracked

“You’re so stubborn, you remind me of myself when I was younger”

“Am nothing like you madam Benson”

“Whatever, anyways I have some documents you need to go through. They are court orders demanding that you go through the DNA process tomorrow or we’ll be having a different kind of conversations. You can’t keep away from her own family”

“What family.”

“The one she truly belongs to”

“And what family will that be…. Abby is my daughter, I have no idea what you are talking about”

“Oh am pretty sure you do, You deprived a little girl from her rightful home, her family…. You’ve done harm than good ”

“Mrs Benson, Abby is mine, I don’t get what these fuss is about” she answered sweetly

“We will soon find out once the DNA tests says otherwise”

You can’t conduct a DNA on my daughter without my consent, I am not agreeing to this”

“If you have nothing to hide why do you have to refuse it”

“I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Especially not to people like you”

Mrs Benson laughs ” I came here so we can agree amicably but I can see that you are just too stubborn and greedy”

“Oh so now am greedy ,You are going to act like you care after what you did it…. So what changed….. Seven years ago you called us liars and gold diggers….. You didn’t seem to care at all then….. Why do you care now…. Well in case you don’t know I have no intention of giving up now because I didn’t give up years ago….. Nothing is going to stop me, and am not going to back down ”

“I’ll advice you get a good lawyer darling, all this noise cannot help you….. Have a good night”

She walked away gracefully like she didn’t just drop off a bomb right in front of Diana just now

Immediately she left , diana hurried inside the house and begin to pack their stuff, she was going to deflect till weekend before traveling but with everything going on

She and abby must be out of this place before sunrise tomorrow. Everything is falling apart, she really did not put alot into consideration before taking on this stupid senseless revenge plot

Now she has not only exposed herself she has exposed Abby and now they are coming after her
