“Nooo!!! I can’t allow this to happen to me, I can’t watch Andrew take what rightfully belong to me, no it can never happen“
As he was still screaming, his mother rushed out.
“My son! What is the matter? Victoria asked
“Leave me alone mom, all this is you and dad’s fault, had it been you people did not adopt Andrew, all this wouldn’t have happened, now he has taken all what rightfully belong to me, upon all our effort still I lost everything, our effort is in vain mom can’t you see?“ Charles complained with tears and this touched his mother
“Calm down son, our effort is not in vain, there is still hope”
“There is no hope for me mom, Andrew has taken everything, imagine me the real first son taking 15% of dad’s Will, while the adopted one was given 40%, even the stranger they brought from the village also have a share from the Will, all their shares are supposed to be mine, mine alone mom“ Charles complained bitterly.
“I hate that boy called Raphael, I hate him so much, I just feel like to strangle him, he think he can come here and reap where he did not sow, but don’t worry my son, you will take what rightfully belong to you back from them, I promise you that, our effort can never be in vain, remember how we cleared your father out of the way….

Charles returned back from work one evening looking worried, his mother, Victoria saw his mood and asked what the problem is;
“My son, you look so worried. What is the matter? She asked but Charles kept quiet without saying a word
“Please son talk to me, I’m your mother, you can tell me whatever that is bothering you“ she said with a concerned tone
“Mum! Please tell me the truth, is dad my real father? He asked still looking worried.
“Yes son, he’s your real father, why do you asked?
“Because I feel that he love Andrew more than me, he always give him more attention than me, mom you need to see the way dad scolded me in the office today“ he complained
“Why, I mean what did you do to him that made him scold you? Victoria asked
“Nothing mum, I and Andrew had little misunderstanding, instead of dad to take side with me, rather he scolded and warned me to give Andrew respect, that he’s my elder brother. Not only today, dad always take side with Andrew, first he made him the director instead of me, and now he always scolds me because of that same boy. How am I even sure he will not make Andrew his Heir the way am seeing it“ Charles explained and his mother thought deeply about it.
“Hmmm!!! I can sense what you are saying, and we need to do something about it because if we keep quiet, your father will give Andrew what rightfully belongs to you“ Victoria commented.
“So what do we do mom? Charles asked and Victoria smiled wickedly.
“I think the only way is to kill your father, so that everything he has will be yours as his real first son“ Victoria suggested.
“What!! To kill my father?” Charles exclaimed surprisedly because he never expected to hear that from his mother
“Yes, that is the only way or do you want him to give Andrew all his properties when he writes his Will? Let’s kill him before he thinks of to write his Will. What do you think son?
“I think it’s not a good idea to kill my father, the fact that I want his property doesn’t mean we should kill him, please come up with another idea, I’m not comfortable with this one you said now“ Charles said in disagreement
“In that case be ready to accept Andrew as the heir to your father’s properties. Look at the person I’m trying to help, he’s not even serious“ Victoria said angrily and wanted to leave but his son stopped her.
“Please mom don’t go, I have agreed, but why do you want us to kill dad, I thought you love him?
“That was before I loved your dad, but the love died the very day he went against my wish and brought that boy, Raphael from the village. Anyways are you still interested for us to kill him or I should mind my business”? She asked
“Am interested in the plan, so how are we going to kill dad”?
“That is a small thing, I will poison his food“ Victoria said and Charles smiled wickedly.
.
Some days later, after the death of Mr Jude, Charles took a bottle of wine and went to his mother’s room because he was very happy.
“Mum I’m so happy, you’ve really done a great job, now that the old man is dead, everything he owns will be mine, this calls for a celebration” he said and poured some wine in the glass cup for him and his mother
“It really calls for a celebration my son, and people thought that it was his PA that poisoned him, without knowing that I was the one“ Victoria commented and laughed

*****Back To Present*****

“My son, like I said before our effort can never be in vain, you don’t have to worry yourself, I know what next to do“ Victoria assured her son
.
One evening, Raphael was returning back with his car, on his way going home, a group of men about three in number putting on masks overtook and double-crossed him with their own car. Raphael stopped and came down from his car.
“What is the meaning of this, why did you block my car? Raphael asked immediately he got down from his car without knowing that the gang were sent to assassinate him.
“Fear no dey catch this boy at all, you know who we be? One of the men, named Thunder said while the others laughed wickedly
“I’m asking you people why you double-crossed my car and you are here talking rubbi………“ he hasn’t finish his statement when they all brought out guns from their pocket.
Immediately Raphael saw this, his heart skipped with fear and he started pleading.
“Please don’t kill me I beg you“ he pleaded.
“Oh now you can beg because you see gun, but before your mouth dey run like water“ Thunder said pointing his gun at him.
“Thunder you dey waste time too much, kill this man make we commot here sharperly“ another member of the gang named Fire added and Raphael’s heart skipped on hearing that.
Please I beg you in the name of God, don’t kill me, I will give you anything you want just name it“ Raphael pleaded
“See, our job is important to us than your money“ The 3rd gang member whose name was Skido chipped in.
“Please I will give you double of what the person who sent you pai……….. “ But before Raphael could finish his statement, they shot him on the chest and he slumped immediately.
