"I don't really have any fancy dress, so I hope you don't mind this?"
She asked sheepishly.
Already ashamed of her condition, not able to get a fancy dress, but she hoped they won't mind or probably get one for her.
"Not at all my dear. Don't worry. "
Debby encouraged her, even though the sight of Jane really irks her to the core, but she maintained a calm and collected face.
"Hope you don't mind my own too."
Mama Liya strolled towards them.
"No ooo, and guess we are good to go then."
Emmanuel said and stood up, heading towards the door.
Debby followed her husband, while Jane and Mama Liya held each other's hands.
~~~~~~~~~~
Some minutes later in the car.
Debby pinged her husband.
"How are we going to carry out our plan with her grandmother with us now?" - Debby
"Oh yes, have almost forgotten." - Emmanuel
"Then let's sort it out now." - Debby
"Yes, now that things had turn into this, what I plan to do is to drug her when we get to Mr. Nelson's place, and then we will send her back home. How about that?" - Emmanuel
"Now, that's what's right. All good to me." - Debby
All this while, Jane was looking outside the car window and admiring the beautiful view.
After some minutes, they got to a particular park, then Debby decided to show Jane and Mama Liya around, whilst Emmanuel make a call.
"What is it Emmanuel?" Came an annoyed voice from the other side of the phone.
Mr. Nelson was slightly perturbed by Emmanuel's call, but hoped for it to be a good news.
Emmanuel went straight to the point with no formalities, not wanting to agitate Mr. Nelson.
" I wanted to ask if you are free today, cause am bringing Jane over to your place."
"Really?! Okay am free, and I will be expecting you, but don't you dare disappoint me."
He beamed and in the next moment, he threatened him.
"Sure." Emmanuel sessed and hung up.
He was really annoyed at Mr. Nelson but decided to keep his anger at bay till he implicate him and throw him off his position as the Senate president.
"You wait till I get you, old fool." He muttered.
Immediately after Emmanuel hung up. Ebuka called up his assistant.
"Clear all my schedules for today. "
He told his assistant, already thinking about how sweet and memorable today will be.
His assistant seemed flummoxed.
" But sir, you have an appointment with the Governor of Lagos today by 2pm."
"Are you deaf or what?! Or are you the boss now hun.
" I told you to cancel all my schedules, and you are still telling me this. Don't forget it doesn't take me anything to fire you and employ another person, so go and do as I instructed, or kiss your job good bye!!!"
He barked furiously and smacked the office table real hard.
He was really displeased with his stupid assistant, thinking if there was a problem with his ears, and instantly his good mood was ruined.
Already expecting his boss to throw words at him, he stuttered,
" em, I ..j us t ... No nevermind, I will get going now. Am sorry."
He immediately changed his statement, when he saw his boss glaring daggers at him and hurriedly scooted away.
Ebuka exhaled and stood up to take a vodka wine🍷.
~~~~~~~~~~
"So Jane, hope you are having fun dear ?"
Emmanuel asked her, and he received a nod from her.
"Yes, have never been here before, and it feels super good."
She said excitedly.
This has been one of her dreams, when she was still in the village and been here now, she really can't express how happy she was but her smile explained it all.
Mama Liya went over to pinched her lovely granddaughter's cheek and smiled at her.
"She looks so cute." She thought and nothing makes her more happy than seeing Jane's smiling whole heartedly.
"Okay, so we still have a place to visit, before we go for shopping and Mama Liya's check up."
Emmanuel said to gain their attention, so they can proceed to Mr. Nelson house, since he is already expecting them.
He winked at his wife, and they both exchange a knowingly look.
Jane and Mama Liya smiled widely at his words, seemingly touched from the bottom of their heart 💓.
Soon, they arrived at Mr. Nelson's big Mansion. The mansion was way bigger than the Thomas couple mansion, with huge golden color gate that has an automatic way of opening, the front yard was spacious enough and covered with smooth green carpet grass, and the other side of the yard was covered with fine interlocks.
Debby hissed seeing the beautiful view, obviously jealous, whilst Jane and Mama Liya were awestruck by the beauty of Mr. Nelson's mansion.
The four of them proceeded to enter the mansion, and Jane was astonished by the interior decor of the mansion.
The golden chandelier hung on the ceiling made the house to look dreamy, coupled with the purple and blue fluorescent lights.
The walls were designed beautifully and painted nicely. The silver color tiles added justice to the eye catching decor, making it to look lustrous. These were too good to be true for Jane and Mama Liya.
While Jane was still admiring the interior decor, Mr. Nelson already came out to see them and smiled when he saw Jane.
She looked more pretty.
"Please, have your sit and feel comfortable." He uttered to gain her attention, and fortunately she turned and looked at him.
Jane was startled seeing Mr. Nelson, but still she took her seat and nodded. "Thank you."
A maid came and served them cold drinks, already adhered the instructions given by Ebuka to put some sleeping drugs into Jane and Mama Liya's drink.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas immediately gulped their drink and urged the duo to drink their own.
Trusting them, they both also drank their own, but slowly.
To ease the weird atmosphere, Mr. Nelson decided to start a conversation, "So these are?"
He pointed to Jane and Mama Liya, then turned to faced the Thomas couple.
"Ohh, they are my relatives." Emmanuel replied him and smiled.
Debby was already smiling triumphantly, since things were going according to plans.
And soon, the drug started taking it effects, cause Mama Liya already dozed off, and Jane eyes were dropping slowly with her body getting weak.
Suddenly, she saw Mr. Nelson smiling mischievously and licking his lips.
"What's happening?"
She asked weakly. Jane tried to stopped herself from thinking negatively and wanted to rush over to help Mama Liya, cause she thought her grandmother passed out but was too weak to even stand up.
She turned to face the Thomas couple and whispered, barely audible, " What's happening?"
Debby grinned and shrugged her shoulders.
"Nice doing business with you Mr. Nelson." Emmanuel stood up and shook Ebuka's right hand.
He felt more okay now and was more than happy.
"Am impressed!"
Ebuka exclaimed.
He already thought Emmanuel would not be able to accomplish the task, but he proved him wrong and added, "I will surprise you."
He promised them and was ready to give them the contract, since they completed their mission.
The Thomas couple smiled even more.
Jane was beyond shocked and tried to shout a bit, before she ventured into sleep mode. " What did you guys do?!"

**Synopsis**
A century has past, since the prognostication that, a Halfling will save the lands was heard, but no sign of it has been seen.
What will be the fate of the three lands, if the Dekinans manage to free Belial (Their Master and the Ruler of Hell) ????
The Mighty One (Insisa), not in his physical form anymore.
But.......
The prophecy????
The legend scripture has it that,
" The world might be in chaos again, more bigger and bloodier than the Great war, but ye shall not worry for thy saviour is coming back.
A child born in an anomalous and mystifying way,
A Halfling,
The bearer of the light and power of the Mighty one.
"Oh ye, do not worry, for he is not to be underestimated, cause he shall conquer thy enemies and bring ye nothing but tranquility.
And when the world welcomes him,
Ye shall prepare to witness five rare phenomenal that will happen together at the same time for one day and one night.
Once ye see those phenomenal, then know that ye saviour has arrive."
Halfling are considered as weak and meek beings, not having the full blood of any supernatural being they are, but Aeron was extraordinary and especial. Despite his young age, the weight of the lands leans on him.
Will he save the lands or succumb to Belial's manipulation eventually at last, even though the world is counting on him????!
