MY EX BOYFRIEND
(part 19)
Semi-final
“what is going on here I thought this is grandmother’s birthday party?.
aunty rose said, I cannot believe this, I cannot believe this, she was so disappointed.
Mercy, precious called her, what are you doing here? and who invited you here?
oh so you know her, aunty rose said and then she smirked, that’s make everything easy for me then.
precious was confused what mercy will be doing here, she is one of her class mate then and she is among those who confronted her before, probably aunty rose have paid her money.
Don’t act like you are innocent precious, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about, she glance at precious and David, all your hiding secret is here with me, you better start talking or you force me to talk, aunty rose said.
honestly aunty Rose, I don’t know what you are talking about, please can you explain to me.
I don’t understand you Aunt Rose, say whatever thing that you want to say, and stop beating around the bush, David said with a firm voice.
Aunt rose smile sarcastically.
I can’t believe you still have the audacity to talk to me like that after what you and this woman did.
is okay grandson I know that your aunty wanted to say something, let’s hear what she wants to say. the old woman said calmly.
precious and David are not into a romantic relationship, they are just pretending so that David can get his inheritance, they are fooling you mom,aunty rose exclaimed and smile victoriously at him.
David and precious were shocked they can’t believe what she just said, how did she knows thier secret. but they kept silent.
how did you know, do you have any evidence? grandmother ask her.
well Mercy this is your chance to tell my mother the Truth, tell them everything you know about them, tell mum what you heard from their lips the first day they met each other.
“I was there, David and precious, Mercy started.
there were just looking at her, David’s jaw clenched while he was waiting for what she is about to say.
I was there when Joseph broke up with precious, she was crying uncontrollable at the coffee tea, precious was still crying when David walk towards her, I could still hear everything clearly, David is the first person to talk to her, you told her that you can help get back to Joseph, but she have to do some contract for you.
in other for you to get your inheritance, you both have to be in a contract relationship, until they gave you all your inheritance and when precious learned that you are the heir, she requested that you gave her some part of your inheritance which you agree to have her, after you have gotten your inheritance.
that is how you both started everything and it will soon expired, mercy narrated everything she saw and heard.
precious could see the shock from the guest, she looks at Grandma but she couldn’t see any reaction.
she was silent and trying to absorb everything she just heard from me Mercy.
“is that true grandma asked David.
yes and no grandma and she looked at Aunt rose.
what do you mean David? are you going to deny everything she just said? Aunt rose said.
No I’m not lying and I’m not saying that what she said is not truth, infact it was Truth and nothing but the truth, that is how me and precious started, so if you will listen to me I will appreciate it, so he took the microphone from Sonia who was standing it.
David looked at everyone and then to his grandmother.
“first I want to apologise to my grandmother, this is your day and I’m sorry for what is happening here today, to my dad I’m sorry and to my guest I’m still sorry, and here to tell you all what happened.
I wouldn’t deny that I offered an indecent proposal to precious because I’m so desperate that time, tell me who wouldn’t done what I have done when they are just pressurizing me to get married and they are forcing me to get married to a strange woman.
so what I did was, I went to coffee tea shop that day and from there I met The broken heart precious who was so brave and never allow me to take control of the situation, she made me feel that I needed her more than she needed me, he shook his head while smiling.
so yeah we had that agreement and to cut the long story short, we had the contract to our relationship, but you know what weather you believe it or not, that is how we started and for some reason that I don’t know, I found myself been in love with this woman in front of me.
The proposal and all are the Truth, our relationship are now real and not fake. David said.
so am I supposed to believe you David? Aunt rose asked.
“it’s up to you Aunt rose, like what I said I don’t care if you will disinherit me because of what you found out about my relationship with precious.
I have told you my own side of the story so you can judge, if I’m pretending or precious I don’t think we both should she’d tears when I’m proposing to her, you know why she cried so hard because she never believe that I would fall in love with her, I always told her that we are not allowed to fall in love with each other, but along the line I broke the rule.
I’m sorry grandma I’m sorry dad, I’m willing to face whatever consequences that you will give me, but one thing I’m sure is I’m in love with precious and no one can change it, she is my strength and she is the first person that believe in me.
she trusted my capabilities, he said and held her hands I love you so much.
“is it important how we started? isn’t it more important how we ended, David asked Aunt Rose”.
precious was just listening to everything, she didn’t know what she should be saying, her heart was full with joy because of how David declare his love in front of everyone.
how about you precious I want to hear the side of your story before I make any decisions, grandma said.
precious heart was p******g so fast, she didn’t know what to say, she knows that aunty Rose was doing all these just to get all the inheritance to herself but she won’t let that happen, she took a deep breath.
are you going to continue staring at us, like you are deaf, daughter of wretched poor woman, Aunt rose couldn’t control her mouth.
” so what precious said was the Truth, that is how I and David met each other, I won’t be denying anything because it won’t make any sense, at first I hated him for approaching me, he was conceited and so proud of himself, I really hated him and that is why we came up with the contract, I didn’t let him take control over me, he promised a percentage of his inheritance once he get it, so the night he introduced me to Williams family, I started spending much time with him, and I learned that he was a different person.
he protected me like his own, he was there with me even in my darkest moment, he helped me without asking anything in return, as time goes on he confessed his love for me, when he saw my ex boyfriend trying to come back to my life, but I didn’t tell him what I feel about him, even though I’m already in love with him.
she said and look at Aunt rose who was shocked to hear everything, she thought they will be denying everything.
I don’t want David to feel like I love him, because of what he was giving to me, I don’t want to feel desperate, I love him yes but I don’t want to give the people around us the impression that I’m only in love with him just because he came from a Rich family.
but the truth is I will accept him even if he wouldn’t have any inheritance from his family, I believe in his skills and in his ability, I know that he will be a successful business man and he can make his own name in the business world.
I believe in him even if no one believe in him, I guess that is what happens when you are in love, you just accept and believe in that person no matter what, she exclaimed.
so are you trying to fool us?, of course you will be saying that because you wouldn’t want the inheritance to be taken away from him, Aunt rose said, because she doesn’t believe them.
no actually grandma, I’m not taking the inheritance anymore, and I’m not taking the position of the company as a chairman of that will make Aunt rose happy, I know I have been in a contract relationship with precious but I have fallen for her, I know you all won’t believe me, I understand your reaction Aunt rose, you have been fighting for the inheritance and today I’m giving it to you all, you and your children should have it, but I’m taking what grandpa have left for me.
David don’t decide in hurry don’t just give up your inheritance just like that, allow your grandmother to decide first, his father said while looking at him.
I don’t know what to say to be honest the old woman smiled.
I believe precious and David, I know that they love each other, but they were finding it very difficult to express themselves, because of the way they met each other.
is it important how they started what matters is they were in love with each other now.
everybody have his or her own the way they started their own journey of love, like Wise me I have my own way, of how me and my late husband started.
no one could fake the emotion I have felt earlier when David propose to her, and I can see that they are truly in love,the old woman said and David and precious smiled.
what are you saying mom? so you will just leave David just like that? what about what he has done? won’t you be mad at him? she said full of anger.
mercy started covering her face in shame, her body was just shaking there, she didn’t know if she should leave or stay back.
mom won’t you say something? Aunt Rose ask again.
what do you want me to say, take everything away from David and give to you and your children?.
yes Mom that is what you should be doing, because your grandson tried to make a fool out of you.
I cannot believe you rose, David is my only grandchild and his grandfather have given him all his wealth so I can’t change that, he still remain the chairman of the company and his inheritance is still with him, I’m happy that he has found someone he loves because that is my husband’s wish, my husband said he must marry before he take over the company.
mom I’m trying to……. grandma cut her up.
enough of all this rose ” you are an adopted child Rose, from the hospital that we adopted you, they told us that, your mother abandoned you along the road side and they decided to pick you up and care for you, after I gave birth to David’s father I couldn’t give birth again so we decided to adopt you from the orphanage home.
you should be lucky that you and your children had percentage to the company, and you are trying to take away the true heir what is rightfully his. you have been a greedy woman right from the time your were a child.
David was shocked to hear everything, so you are an adopted child? and you are behaving so rudely to everyone acting as if you are the real child of my late grandparents.
I can’t even believe it, you called precious a poor wretched woman, you humiliated her the first day I brought her home, just because she didn’t come from a Rich family, and today you are just a nobody, probably your mother is a mad woman or maybe she is so poor that she couldn’t afford to care for you, she decided to drop you alongside of the road.
all the guest started laughing at her and mercy couldn’t withstand the shame, she run away.
Aunty Rose was very ashamed of what she heard, she decided to go inside the house.
David still remains the heir of the company, and nothing can change it, rose if you think my decision is not good for you, you can as well donate your own share of the company to the Charity group.
please let’s continue my birthday party, the party started again.
semi final…..
the next will be the end
