"Keep calm it's my baby's birthday tomorrow, Dave winked at the attendant, "Where is your manager?"
"Hmmph sire I already told you our hall has been booked it can only be available on Sunday not Saturday, even if you meet the manager he would say the same."
"Aish just get your manager here lady, no need for your baby face pleas, Okay I pick Sunday."
"Thank you sir, please how would you want the deco... ".
"Nah gonna go through your manager not through you Co's I am very choosy."
"Okay sir..."the young lady put a call through her manager and directed him to her managers office...
"Knock knock knock!!!"
"Come on in please" Dave went in and looked around luckily there was no CCTV anywhere, he smiled mischievously, please have your sit.
"Oh Thank you was just carried away by your office arrangement I am sorry"
"It's Okay sir, how may I help you?"
"I want to rent your hall for tomorrow."
"But Mr you came too late, it has been booked for tomorrow sir it could only be available on Sunday, please bear with us."

"The person who booked our hall is a very famous person, it's also a birthday celebration."
"Hey!!!"
"We can book another hall for you in another area sire."
"The person is a very famous person right? do you know who I am???? You definitely don't know me...I don't want another hall in another place I want here final."
"But Mr we can't stop the ceremony now it's too late."
'How much were you paid??? hun?"
"A thousand pounds sir"
"Then I pay you times three..."
"That's three thousand pounds sir"
"Yup you right...." the manager gulped down a glass of water opposite him and cleaned the sudden sweat on his face and sat well adjusting his coat...
"Armmmhh Mr man we can't accept that it's against our rules."
"Your choice, here is my number call me when you ready I can't wait long enough, I give your thinking till 12noon"... "will take my leave now"...he left and met the attendant downstairs smiling at him and he smiled back.
Dave drove back home in silence and remembered Angels face, he bummed with smile and called Xavier.
"Is Angel there?"
"No sir she left for her room few minutes ago"
"I dropped your number in the hotel, the manager should call you for the booking of the hall, beep me when he calls"
"Yes boss"
"Don't inform Angel, did you get the cloth I asked for?"
"I did sir"
"Did you feed those guys in the secret room?
"I did sir, but sire why you still keeping them alive? it's been five years already."
"Na I have a better use for them soon, keep then safe till Angel recovers fully, keep her off them never arouse her suspicion."
"Yes boss..." Dave hanged up and turned around to straight to Abel David grave.
"The hall preparation is done, the invitation has been sent out to all the guest only Mr Dave Ronald is left out, What do we do?"
"I don't want him to spoil my day with some pranks he is a dangerous person he just looks playful on the outside. Keep him abbey."
"Yes boss."
Dave got to the grave and knelt down.
"Since I can't talk to you face to face fearing those bad memories could come back, I decided to talk through here. You might spit at me yell at me stone me to death, call me names, but it doesn't stop me from getting my hand bloody for you. I can't fear you and fear your twin she is no match for me. My bad deeds are for your sake, no one can bully you while you have me. From tomorrow I will show you the other side of me, criticize me I am all yours love...." he dropped a flower on her grave and left...
His phone was ringing when entered the car..

"The manager sent the companies account number just now sir"....Dave could not help but laugh..
"Hahaha, WTF, He got the bait, one part successful, forward the details to me."
"Yes sir."
"Thanks Xavier."
"Yes boss"....pimmm the line went off. In a few minute the details was sent Dave branched at the bank and made a transfer instantly, Xavier called few minute later to inform Dave of the managers acknowledgement.
"Now the hall is secured," Dave smiled mischievously.
Micheal and Chan got an invitation card to Ana's birthday party.
"Is my lovely brother gonna attend this party?"
"Why not, we might be rivals in the business world but she is still a boss in her territory we need to award some respect."
"I really don't know when Micheal started having soft heart for women not even someone like Ana... you have changed a lot since the death of Abel..."
"What??? who's Abel?"
"You don't remember her? the young maiden we both struggled for at your grand Opening... you even awarded her a new attire through Rey..." Micheal was feeling some slight headache while trying to recollect all What Chan was saying.
"I don't know her, I haven't met her in person before..." Chan was dumbfounded at What his brother uttered.
"What??? it's unlike you forgetting her so easily, I taught you had a crush on her..."
"Crush???"
"Yes."
"I have a slight headache, trying to remember her is hurting me"... Micheal suddenly starting sweating profusely, and passed out.... Chan saw the changes.
"Micheal, Micheal...!!!" Chan was scared... Rey Rey Rey!!!"
Next morning.
"Happy birthday my lady you look gorgeous in this outfit," Ana smiled.
"Thanks love..." She was dressed up in a long fitted satin gown, showing her fool calves, it's slitted from above her knee to her leg showing her glowing long legs, her hair was packed in a bum and has side tales at the front, sparkling diamond earing matched along her outfit.... her out fit was designed buy atmosphere delivered to her the previous day, and her shoes were from Jessica collections. Bernard was her groom for the night.
They left the house and headed straight to the hall...
Micheal was already okay, he and Chan wore the same colour of suit and shoes like real twins for the ceremony.
Ana got to the hall but the celebration has already started even before her knowledge... but she just overlooked it...Ana went ahead to greet the notable people she knows and hugged them, Bernard did the same but kept a close watch at her.
Suddenly the announcer spoke...
"Now we inviting the celebrant to come over to to the stage for a proper viewing..." Ana smiled and giggled,
"At the count of 3 one...two..." Ana was walking majestically to the stage but stopped instantly, glaring at a priceless jewel opposite her...
"Why is she putting on the same dress with me, why the same shoes why the same accessories???? why is she like me but she is masked...."
"Bernard"
"Hun..."
"Who is she?"
"Dave's girlfriend."
"What? how?"
"He is beside her."
"What? why? my party? my birthday? he won't destroy all right Bernard?..." Ana was tensed, she was shivering but held on to Bernard.
"Yes he won't just be calm."...Bernard knew, if Dave was at Ana's party trouble is coming on the way.
