Elenna taught to herself so it going down finally, she was naturally a bit nervous but it wasn't evident on her face at all only her damp palm was proof of her nervousness.
The flight landed and they all disembarked there were several people waiting for them on touch down, other commuters we're curious as to why such a crowd some were drumming, singing and dancing. There was also a long line of cars in a convoy.
The reporters were not left out as they also took strategic positions to get the best shots they could, it was like a great celebrity was coming to town or like the President is coming for a visit.
So much crowd has gathered at the airport but Segun and the other details had instructions, not to Dilly dally at all so once she came down the short flight of stairs camera flashed away, but she was escorted sharply into one of the SUV's already waiting to leave, only Efe joined her in the car, the others boarded other vehicles there was no confusion at all seem they already knew beforehand where they were to go.
They drove on for about 40 mins and soon arrived at was seem like a carnival, people were waving flower branches and screaming in joy at their vehicle. Elenna turned and asked Efe are we close by any chance?
Yes, Madam, we are within the palace premises that's why we slowed down, all these people came out the welcome you ma, they are happy that you are finally back to stay with your son the King in waiting and the Prince, your positions pretty strong.
As the car crawled forward not long she saw the palace so many people stood in front of it with colorful attires, she kept scanning faces to see if she could see her son or her husband, perhaps they were at the very entrance to the palace.
The car soon crawled to stop on what could pass for a red carpet but instead, it was made of flowers and wrappers leading to the entrance of the palace Efe came down then went round and asked her if she was ready to step out? when she nodded in agreement, Efe then opened the car door for her to alight.
There was a loud roar of admiration from all the people watching her progress of the flower carpet once she stepped out in her Benin traditional royal wear, she was truly looking incredible in the dress.
Soon someone came running and grabbed her, and she recognized him instantly, her son was so tall, almost as tall as the father at just seventeen years, she stopped and hugged him tightly, then pulling his head back she looked him over and kissed his forehead, knowing that people were still waiting for her she started forward again and her son linked his hand with hers as she was walked.
She saw her husband and a group of elderly looking men who were sporting only wrappers with heavy beads dropping down their necks, turning sideways was her mother in law with a group of gorgeously dressed women.
This woman was nice to her in those few years she was here with the Prince and she had always sent her regards through Prince Martinz, Elenna taught before she went to her husband's side she goes to her mother in law first.
Mother! she called out as she ran into the woman's wide-open arms.
You are welcome back finally my daughter.
Thank you mother Elenna replied.
Then the women standing with her mother in law started nudging her to introduce them.
Just as she started telling Elenna that this woman is from the Benin Women Association (BWA) and are here to welcome you into their fold.
Mother, you can do that later, Prince Martinz cut in to let the rest of the family welcome her first.
The mother laughed as the other people as the Prince enveloped his wife in a very tight hug, whispering in her ears, seems you didn't miss me much? His action caused Elenna to blush.
Raising his head up he said let's go in everyone and celebrate my wife and the Mother of our crown Prince return to us, she has finally come to stay with us, we are happy, come with me! he leads them to the banquet ground.

The residence of Mr. Jeff Mo was in an uproar, all the guards and maids have been called out to come and explain the disappearance of his daughter.
This was the third day after Ayanna removed her mother from that mansion and sent her home.
It was clear they never took any care of her for Ayanna has been waiting and watching to see how they will react to her being missing from that small room, however, that day passed without anyone being the wiser.
The maid was asked to give her only Lunch for that day and shouldn't feed her any other meals, the maid just took the lunch and just dropped it at the entrance of the room never checking Elenna so, she didn't discover that she wasn't inside.
The next day, the maid that was to serve her lunch saw that she didn't eat the food and took it away without also going to find out why she didn't eat or if she was sick, no one cared. She left with the on touched food.
Since they knew the pair of mother and daughter were not interested in what happens to Elenna they never bordered informing them that she wasn't eating her food.
It was great she got her mother out of there, she could be dead and they wouldn't even realize Ayanna mused to herself.
She had called a meeting and addressed all the staff members told the new accountant for her mother's company that they better step up or step out, every money coming in or out should be accounted for also the company head had changed and will be introduced to them later but an attorney will be in charge, attorney Li Cheng, please come forward Ayanna called.
Attorney Li Cheng came forward, he was a very charismatic man and good looking too not even a strand of hair was out of place and the black suit he was wearing fit his perfectly muscular body.
He was sent to Ayanna by Prince Ade Ade, his resume was outstanding. As he stepped forward he said to Ayanna i will go through everyone's designation and compile a report for you.
Okay, I will like that, take care of things here and Ayanna excused herself and left the company.
She heard from Prince Ade Ade that the man was more than capable so she was going to leave the reign for him to steer for now while she monitors from the background she still had the game company to focus on and lunch soon, there is also the Foundation, so this plan will work for her.
Her father had also called her that her mother's welcome party went well and everyone that matters has already come to lay their homage. He also told her that he had a case he would like her to look into only when she was less busy.
She had actually agreed to call him back regarding that as she was plenty distracted. She had made up her mind to call him soon anyway.
