“Don’t you have common sense to know that the music was too loud, must you use your own to disturb other people“ Raphael followed his statement.
“Oh! so the music I’m playing in my father’s house is disturbing you, why not pack your things and go back to that your wretched father in the village if the music I’m playing is disturbing you? And moreover I don’t know what you are still doing in this house“ Charles aggressively said
“You can say whatever you like, I’m used to you, I’m even talking, you are even drunk as usual, I am not surprise“ Raphael countered.
“I can see you are growing wings in this house because of the Will you are entitled in, you feel that you are on top of the world, you now talk when I’m talking, but I assure you Raphael that it’s not over yet until I say so, let’s watch and see“ Charles threatened
“Are you threatening me? Look Charles, I’m in your father’s house doesn’t mean I should continue keeping quiet for you to treat or to talk to me anyhow like a nobody, and besides we are not of the same age, forget the fact that you graduated from school before me because my father could not afford my education that was why I couldn’t meet up. But like I said before Charles, I can’t continue to keep quiet anymore, I have heard enough of you“
As Raphael was still talking, Andrew walked in because he wasn’t around when all these are going on
“What’s going on here? Andrew asked
“Oh…. here comes my adopted elder brother“ Charles stated but Andrew ignored him without taking his word seriously
“Raphael, what is going on here? Andrew asked again and Raphael explained everything to him“
“Oooh now I see, so he was the one playing that music I was hearing down the street when I was coming”? Andrew asked
“Yes I was the one playing it and it was very loud, I will do it over and over again and there is nothing any of you can do“ Charles bragged and then increased the volume of the music again.
This time it was louder than before, even the whole house was vibrating at the sound of the music. With anger Andrew went and switch off the musical set, he even removed the wire from the socket entirely.
“Charles, I have had enough of your rubbish, just dare me and put on that music and you will see the other side of me, I can see you lack home training, just dare me and put on the music again and see if I will not beat the living hell out from you“ Andrew yelled
“Please Andrew leave him, he’s already drunk“ Raphael tried to calm Andrew down who was ready to beat Charles
“So you want to fight me, after taking all what belonged to me, you still want to beat me in my father’s house you this adopted thing?“ Charles gloated and Andrew rushed to hit him but Raphael stopped him
“Please Raphael leave me to beat this boy, I need to teach him home training“
As this was going on, Victoria walked in
“OMG!! Can somebody tell me what is going on here”? Victoria asked immediately she came in
“Mom! the two of them want to fight me, just because I’m playing music in my father’s house“ Charles explained
“For what, why will the both of you want to fight him in his father’s house? Victoria asked
“Mom! Charles here want to turn this house to a market place“ Andrew replied
“So? Even though he want to turn it to a market place, is it not his father’s house“? Victoria said, taking side with Charles.
“Ma’am! We did not stop him from playing music, we only told hi………
“Shut up your mouth“ Victoria interrupted Raphael’s statement
“Please mom, I don’t have time for all this now, I’m going to my room if you don’t mind“ Andrew said and left, while Raphael followed him behind
“You are saying you don’t have time for all this, when the time comes you must have time for it. Nonsense!! Even that village boy is now growing wings in my house“ Victoria commented Immediately Andrew and Raphael left
“The boy is really growing wings in this house, but I will deal with him, just don’t mind them“ Charles added.
“What business do I have with them? Anyway, I’m just coming back from your sister’s office and she still insisted that your late father didn’t tell her the password to that door” Victoria said
“Ah! Fu*k up, so how do we open the door, or should we ask Andrew, maybe he might know it?“ Charles suggested
“I doubt that Andrew will know it, as far as your father didn’t tell your sister, I don’t think he can tell any other person. You know in terms of secret, he tells your sister more than any of his children, so I don’t think that Andrew know it, but anyway let’s forget about that one and stick to our plan, I hope you still remember our next plan? She asked
“Why not mom, I still remember very well, why will I forget what will benefit me?“ Charles said and Victoria smiled
“Less I forget, where is Felix, is he not around? She asked
“He’s not around, I don’t know where he went to “Charles replied
“Hmmm….. anyways I’m going upstairs to my room, I’m very tired“ she said and then went upstairs while Charles continued with what he was doing
.
Later that same day in the night, Raphael and Bella were together in his room on the bed. The both of them have been dating secretly without anybody knowing about their affairs and they are in love with each other.
“Baby! don’t you think it’s high time we let people know of our relationship? After-all we are grown ups, it’s better for our people to know that we are in love with each other, we can’t continue hiding it, or don’t you love me? Bella asked trying to be sure
“Of course you know I love you so much and I can do anything for you“ Raphael said and kissed her
“Then let our people know of our relationship“ Bella insisted
“They will know but not now that I’m still living here, because if your mother finds out that we are dating, she will not be happy, you know she never liked me for once, so how will she feel if she finds out that we are dating?” Raphael explained
“I don’t care of how she feel, all I’m concerned about is my happiness, I love you Raphael and I wouldn’t want anything to come between us, not even my mother“ Bella elucidated
Nobody will come between us sweetheart, but my only fear is still your mother and that is why I want us to keep this relationship secret until the right time we will let them know, probably when we want to get married and move out from this house“ Raphael said
“Hmmm, if you say so“ Bella agreed
After that, they both went to sleep because Bella spends the night in Raphael’s room
.
Three days later, Charles was in the sitting room pacing up and down and talking to himself, all of a sudden he screamed and started throwing things on the floor, first he threw the bottle of wine he was drinking and it broke into pieces, before he started throwing every other things in the sitting room
“Nooo….. I can’t allow this to happen to me, I can’t watch Andrew take what rightfully belongs to me, no it can never happen.
