"It was messy I wouldn't try to sugar coat you however she look upset," jade said as she sits on the couch the TV chatters it was a comedy series show,
"I know my mom better-
"I figure maybe if I could talk to her maybe she can make this go away" she cut in from the couch whereas Clinton stood over it with his phone in his hand.
"My mother never backs down she's always right-
"But baby she can make all these go away the public and most importantly your image" she cut him off again.
"I think if you love someone so much the best thing is to leave me alone she expects me to accept whatever she thinks is right" jade became mute Clinton is right she doesn't hate her mom to some extent she just tries to balance the love and anger but the anger always somehow surpasses the love.
"So what are you going to do now," she asked, Clinton finished on his phone walked to her, and kiss her on the cheek before he responded.
"Meeting with good homes that were the initial plan-
"Is going to work out I believe" she help him knot his tie Clinton looked at her so focused on making it look perfect, and he hold her hand just as she finishes.
"Thank you for standing with me" jade pressed her lips forming a thin line.
"We got this, I will shop for groceries-
"Give me some time alright once I'm finished with good homes I will come up with half of the money like 500,000,00 dollars for a start how about that-
"I love to hear you say that, you have all the time in the world never thought considering the terminated deal-
"I brought you into this alright I got you" he kissed her before leaving she heard the sound of his car driving out of the compound jade sighed falling back on the couch, she was going back to her place have no intention of living with Clinton.
CLINTON POV
As a kid growing up with both of my parents with everything handed down to me you will say is thrilling, lucky, anyways let's say I'm blessed.
Always thought my mum wants the best of me controlling so much just so things will be perfect, I took film classes most of all I even have a home school which was all about filmmaking, first time doing it I thought is just like other subjects I took in school so I didn't complain much after my high school doing very well in sports, I thought perhaps I was going to be an athlete to things quite changed when I pick interest in real estate breaking the news to my mum deep down I knew that smile wasn't genuine, who pays the hefty amount of money over a film class then hear your son tell you real estate is the thing, my dad didn't even have the expensive materials I got yet he was the worst in the game is just natural and talented.
I started doing my research and attending webinars, and I saw life around me changing the game is all that matters to me, I had so much confidence because my dad put his money to my name than his assets my mothers so resources weren't the problem to get lands to build magnificent homes or buildings that needs to be renovated into the present days.
I told my mum I'm ready for my first kill rhetorically, half of my life Is in London and Nigeria so I decide to partner with good homes she disagree with me.
Handing me much money has to be exchanged with work I either run the film company for three years then after that I can go ahead with my real estate phase, I never get mad at her or complain I did everything just so she can be happy not considering what I wanted.
for years is all about how my mum will feel, how she's going to react, I have to put more effort to make this perfect, I don't want to look like a disappointment never for once thought how it would feel if I live in my world.
One thing I never did was try to be famous like my parent somehow it always get to me because I'm always at one event or the other, movie premiers not going to lie mum is the center of attention, the camera is her life not saying is wrong what I'm insinuating is I don't wanna be that dude that gets stalk my photographers and paparazzi.
well, I made a lot of bad moves most of it wasn't intentional it just happened that a pic of me in the club hitting on a girl is going viral which by the way a girl I slept with a day before is making a big deal out of it like we were dating when it was just a fling so I just need to be extra careful whenever I'm outside or ask my manager to get ladies anytime I'm out somewhere send their pics for me to choose the disadvantage is most of the girls don't look like anything compared to what they post on their social media account so it takes me back to square one having girls I see physically than social media hookups.
Getting out of my hotels how they know I lodge there is surprising, the next morning you're on the blog about women, women I don't even care about it just a nightstand.
No matter how I try to be hidden I'm always been dragged out so when I thought of my plan I knew someone who isn't famous is good for the job.
My parents never liked the blogs carrying me as a womanizer I try to explain to them is just a fling it gets to a point my mum threatens to kill herself if anything like that pops up again until I come clean with a girl I'm dating no running of the office during the process my dad died so the rule went on and on so I gave up hoping to venture into real estate on my own, well after she bumps into my apartment that mid-morning that's when the whole idea came floating in plus the girl we had a fling that might help in reminding me a contract can make my whole dream come true since my mum is acting a tough lady from birth so I took the oath of deceit, I offer that amount because I wanted the girl who I'm in love with right now to not see any reason to say no.
I believe in my dream to calculate a million dollars to get over two billion dollars to start up homes isn't that amazing, my entire plan is to use the whole money and build an estate that will last for a lifetime.
TRUNTS is a close-by supermarket I can walk in without photographers stalking my life so I do my own thing, at the time I have my apartment I hated living with my mum when I say controlling this lady is over the top don't quote me wrong I have an amazing life growing up with her, for the records I left when I was seventeen so is like ten years apart now but I always go to dinner, event. Not going to lie I love my mum so much the problem is she anyways thinks her idea is always the best, she took me along all the years and we travel a lot to other countries so these ten years weren't apart we saw each other most of the time, still, she always finds a way to surprise me with visits.
Clinton parks his car at good homes their headquarters are in the UK after his brief meeting with the CEO at the business ball, with the assurance his partner in Nigeria will give him attention setting him a meeting.
He entered the girl at the reception and asked him a few questions before handing him a tag surprisedly they are all waiting for him, as he walked in they all stood up exchanging handshakes with him the total opposite. He sat behind one of the board of directors.
"We are excited to see you Clinton Abraham and what's circulating in the news like a virus-?
"I would say flu"
One of the men said with a chuckle, a young velvety lady probably in her early twenties passed around the papers, Clinton a fast reader-run through it thru are having a deal with him but thirty percent every transaction since they are raising the capital.
"Wow is intriguing I'm always a mess in the news but don't worry about that ladies like me a lot but now I'm committed to one-
"That's what I was telling the rest of the board, Clinton will surprise you and it always comes down to women how do you get all these beautiful women to like you I mean they are never ugly always flawless" the room filled with laughter is known Clinton has always shown his interest in good homes right from time so he partnered with them, I will love to take it to the next level.
"I mean I'm so surprised to see how easy it happen driving down here I didn't even know the right words to use to convince this board whatever that is trending on the news is not as it seems I'm grateful for this opportunity and thank you for believing in me-
"You're welcome," one of the men said out loud.
"I'm a good friend to your mother I know how much she wants you to take over your father's legacy you remember when I was in charge of all your parents' homes I told these people you're a badass realtor so don't worry we got you-
"Yeah Clinton we trust you, you're always on the news my daughter has a huge crush on you I'm sure you can go through the papers over and over again before concluding-?
"Thank you so much" he stood up handshakes then again.
"Phew!!!! This was so easy real estate here I come".
A laugh escapes Clinton's lips as he starts the ignition those men out there are hilarious, he's only in the news whenever it comes to women, they just hand him a deal without even talking about the scandal trending, especially on Twitter wish everyone will quit using Twitter.
thanks to his father realtor at least he believed in him, the opportunity he waited for his whole life, so desperate for this day and when he thought all hopes were gone thankfully jade pushed him to try at least, he grab the air like he's heart is about to explode!!!!!
"Yeah" he screamed driving out of the good homes building this is God doing, he prayed for this day, prayer works it does work fellows he advised himself. He smirked to car wheeled so hard out of excitement look who is going to start. Construction in ten days.
This contract might come easy as you think but the hardest part is the type of building you want to sell, whether is it offices, plazas, or living houses well Clinton intends to build luxurious buildings for affordable prices so people can live their lives without breaking their banks.
Let your ambition carry you, mistakes are allowed, he's not going back to his mum a part of him that needs to grow without her hanging around telling him what to do, when he's archived whatever he's putting his mind into then they can resolve, for now, he has to focused on getting the job done.
Jade stocked the fridge with groceries and did homemade food if at all Clinton will want to eat them ever since they got together not once has she cooked or cleaned not like she's so good at it thank God for YouTube chefs they are saving life's out there without them knowing how helpful their videos are for ladies like her who doesn't even know to boil turkey look at her now she can cook meals without burning the entire kitchen down, she heard a car drive in Herat skips so fast it can't be, checking everything in order before rushing out of the kitchen when Clinton put his briefcase on the couch loosen the knot of his tie.
"Hey!!! You came back early" she said half hoping is not bad news, she hate feeling that way like everything is supposed to turn out just fine because she was jade no wonder she faces a lot of disappointment in life.
"Yeah because I missed you so much," he said kissing her so deeply like he's just meeting her,
"How did it go," she asked eagerly her eyes could tell she doubt everything is okay, men are used to living not turning out fine adapting to situations with a smile.
"Guess" he pushed her button of never impatient she groan pushing him aside taking the paperwork lying on his briefcase rustling it opens her heart beating heavily like slow down gurl if it turns out bad there is nothing you're going to do about bad including Clinton, she agreed with the thought in her head so she slowly read the paperwork smile appearing on her face.
"You got it babe" she hugged him so excitedly, Clinton hugged her in his life no one has been so supportive of his dreams, Libya hardly cares she just like your parent money will give you whatever you want, mum projected filmmaking, dad kinda supported because he feels is like the right thing to do if that makes him happy, jade is genuinely happy for him that only is what matters to him, Clinton is a stoic type of person.
He kissed her not realizing the food in the kitchen is burning, the whole house smelt of burnt food, and jade quickly rushes over to turn off the gas.
"You don't need to do that you know right," he said putting the pot in the sink.
"I'm pretty bad in the kitchen I'm sorry-
"We can have the chef cook us anything we want coming here" they start hugging again.
"Sometimes I want to cook for the love of my life the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" Clinton laughed heartily.
"Yet Chioma couldn't have davido to herself a pathetic theory-
"What!!!" Jade burst out laughing well it is a pathetic theory.
