You should be excited, Oliver shouted moving fast into her hospital room, someone is going home today.
Hmmmm, I will miss this room. Sam said
"You better not, I almost didn't have a life because of not being able to leave your side" Oliver retorted.
Packing her clothes, stuff dolls, lipsticks, pillows and blankets, also the beautiful roses the physiotherapist sent to her room that morning, Sam hurried up to take her zipped box when Oliver took it from her.
young lady, relax you still need your energy he said.
A family meeting in Mr Peter's company is held. A villa that is in a Serene and highly secured part of town.
All the relatives to Mr Peter Smith are in attendance, including his brother Michael Smith, who openly made the suggestion that since Vivian is dead, he should manage the company Petercool and her burial should be announced in channels overseas, so that her friends from overseas may come.
After all, she was the best business graduating student from SALL business school, the business school in the world.
with over twenty million applicants in a year, they end up picking just a hundred thousand for admission. Yes you need money to go, also you need brains.
To him, that was the final respect he could give to the Peters and the last humiliation he will have to endure in order for his brother's wealth to pass to him. After all he has be patience all this while, watching him become the richest man in country and still behaved as if it was nothing. Snorting in his heart, such arrogance.
We should be preparing for Vivian's burial, it's been a month she passed way, an elderly man said and not thinking of who should be the leader of Petercool.
While two elders on the table agreed to him, four others rebuked him.
The first elder turning to look at Micheal with scorn in his eyes, pointing fingers at him, he got up and angrily voiced
"that girl has been dead for two months now and only a handful of people knows, what exactly are your plans for her corpse"?
Jumping to stand on his feet, Micheal answered back angrily
"what do you mean by that uncle Sony? if you don't feel like contributing to this meeting, then go home".
Instantly, a fight broke out and the room was divided into Sony's supporters and Micheal's supporters.
Slapping the center table to get attention, Elder Ebong stood up and said, planning for her burial is inevitable, also choosing a leader for the company cannot be compromised.
Immediately we tell the world that the leader of the strongest company in our country is dead, our competitors will rise and fight us tooth and nail. we need to be prepared.
With that, they room went back to normalcy only with Michael feeling wronged and thinking of how best to retaliate, after all no one can insult him and go scot free.
Masking his anger with a smile on his face, he got up to apologize to elder Sony.
Am sorry for sounding that way, was just thinking for the best way to handle these things.
Elder Sony looked at him and responded
it's nothing to be sorry for, we are all from different background and here for a family meeting, yet as a child you don't want our contribution. it's okay Mike, let's continue.
I need to take care of this man, Rebecca Smith, Michael's wife thought.
I hate his guts, she thought this man will be trouble if he don't handle him soon.
No one should destroy what she has carefully planned for years, sacrifice a whole lot and even killed the entire family for, no one should block her from reaching that point, not even an elder of the family.
Samantha happily chatting with Oliver, heard a name she was just too familiar with being called in the TV.
using her hand to signal Oli not to say an thing, she paid attention to her funeral plans being advertise on TV, inviting people from her Alma mata to come.
Instantly, her countenance changed. looking all sobber, tears started coming down and she was lost in thoughts.
Oliver immediately saw the change on her face, and turned to look at the TV, that was a black girl's obituary, did she know her?
She has been trying to unite a broken family that she has forgotten that she was murdered by her uncle and his family, who knows maybe they now have the kind of power they wanted.
Since they are just making it known to the world now,when she has been dead for a while now.
Do you know her, Oliver asked while she was not responding, only tears rolling down, he shook her shoulder with both hands, shouting Sam Sam Sam, look at me. She lifted her eyes to look at Oliver who was standing in front of her instead of sitting beside her.
Sorry did I gazes out on you she asked?
" No, you just cried as if you knew her personally. if you want to go for the burial, we can go together" he said.
After the accident, he promised that she won't travel any long distance without him, the sacrifice he has to make, it was better than staying by her side prying for her to wake up.
