Chapter 31 - Christopher is Nominated

long-awaited prospective candidate for the Governorship election is aounce.When the news that Christopher had been see most fit for the position, Olivia never imagined such despite the promise Hudson made to her; he failed to deliver on his part, as she imagine, ignoring the effort he have put through for her success.. She was so deeply in pain. When she regained consciousness, she remained silent for some minutes.

"Something must be wrong somewhere; how could they, this wasn't our agreement; there must be a mistake somewhere." Hudson lamented. He put a call across to get the details in full, but was told that they have finalized it all and nothing more than that. "At last you finally deceived me, but get it; I'm not yet done until they give me the proof of Him be the best candidate." Olivia shouted as she got herself together.

Being so angry, she pushed Jonathan down the cushion, went in the room, and started moving around. "What have I done to myself? I am almost losing it all; I have lost Charles; losing my career pursuit now can't be tolerated; I have to fight back. Proof of what has been done must be told." She spoke alone in the room.

"Father, isn't that what I have been avoiding?You made her see you as one who could grant her request, the assurance of being nominated. Now you have failed, leaving me with the heat and fire to be burn by her. You have to share the heat with me because you caused it." Jonathan yelling at his father. Isabella as well was busy laughing at the failure of Hudson. "You needed power; now power has failed you; if only you had listened to me and focused on just your career, this wouldn't have befallen us." She also said

Hudson stood, wondering how it had gone. "This is a conspiracy, and something must be done about it.I will fight it back with my power; Christopher can't take it from me." He is more confident in himself. Olivia heard him and requested he carried implement.action immediately else the whole family wouldn't take it likely with her. In addition, Isabella stirred at her; she saw how angry Olivia was and made an attempt to add more. "At least you have learned your lesson." She said. Olivia, hold her peace for a moment; she kept on hitting her legs on the floor due to the shock. Prior to that, she had confronted Hudson and vowed to deal with him when she became the Governor; aside from that, she had also held a mini-party for that, thinking she would be the lucky one, only to receive the shock of her life. Now, she has almost lost it, as said earlier. What to do and how to do it arises from her question, labeling Hudson an incompetent father in-law.

Christopher, who have be nominated as the best candidate to run for the post, didn't make an attempt of throwing party around. Rather, he made his way to the William's family, and when he arrived, he appreciated his efforts and demanded more assistance, not financially but with words and convincing the public, the more. "I am not a politician, and beside, you have the heart of the people; I don't think there is anyone who can stand against your victory. You have my support as well as the big family club's support. So don't be afraid; you are already there". William encourage him and continued, "The truth is this: We didn't bribe anyone to nominate you; rather, they have observed you and your capacity, your meek attitude and vision, alongside your ability to manage the country affair, and having found these in you, you were granted the opportunity."

Christopher, again, appreciate koen effort the more, even though William was trying to make it look as though he was nominated due to the qualities find in him. Christopher didn't stop there. Instead, he expressed his gratitude to the Big Family Club during their weekend event. In fact, he hosted the event of the day privately. And in return, he was assured of getting their support, as they have usually promised him.

Meanwhile, Hudson, not being happy, called for Ease with Olivia present, they had planned to bribe Ease to gain his favor.

"I thought you have the power; as claimed; why are you trying to bribe me? I mean, why not use that power to convince the public that Olivia is qualified if you think she is?" He kept asking him questions.

Hudson remain calm. He was so sorry for planning to offer him something in exchange for his support. "I am so sorry for that. I know I and Olivia didn't take this as smoothly as expected. Now we have learned from our mistake and promise to amend our ways." He pleaded with a calm heart.

Ease thought for a while and replied, "I can't betray the Williams family; they have been be nice to me; aside from that, Alabmi look up to me; therefore, your offer isn't acceptable. Am sorry." He explained. To Olivia, he was just saying trash; she couldn't hold it any longer, so, she promised to take it to any length, provided she doesn't lose it all. "Young lady, politics is beyond this; don't think you can play smarts on this; if you try, you will seriously pay for it. So I encourage you to accept your defeat and work with Christopher; he may grant you an opportunity with a good position at end, rather than losing it all."Ease advise her.

"I would rather lose it all than work with a man I have concluded how to deal with once I am in power." She spoke. Ease , being short of words, ignored her, except for Hudson, who has been pleading with her to calm down. Yet she kept telling, and trying to burn down the Hudson office with the sound of her voice.

Since Olivia expectations has failed, she came to a point of view that Charles must have had a hands to her rejection. She then went to his house to confront him.

At that moment he was with Jonathan and Sophia, they had come to pay him a visit. Olivia shouting from outside, she pushed the security man down and went in to the house.

" What is wrong with you, have you lost your senses? Charles asked in a high voice. Both Jonathan, Sophia and Deborah, focus their face on her. Especially Deborah became so annoyed. "I should believe that we are not the cause of your failure. Go and solve your problem; allow I and my husband to have peace." Deborah reacted.

Olivia pick offence of that , and replied her. " I don't have much to say with you, you have stolen my man, thesame man who have led my career unachievable. Charles, I am not leaving this place until you figure this out; I can't lose you and at the same time lose my career," Her was remained so strong that she wouldn't leave. "Olivia, I beg you, before you bushed me to the wall, we have no hands in whatever led to your unqualification; you fail because you were not able to meet the demand of the pannel, and your selfish act has found you out. Please go, leave us in peace." Jonathan pleaded with her. Yet she refuses, this made Deborah so angry that she have to put on the strength of a woman, she summon courage and dragged her up, pushed her out of the house with the help of the security men. Olivia was sent out of the house at all costs.

"Deborah, remember it is not yet over; I will have the power and, as well, deal with you." She shouted aloud. Walking so annoying to where she had packed her car, she angry opened her car, ignited it and drove around with a high speed, out from the compound, this time around, she kept her security personnel out from this, she wanted to be alone. Driving and sounding so annoying. "God, what will I do? I can't afford to fail like this. What will I really do? Isn't it better I make peace with Christopher, at least he can make me his deputy, but how will I do that after disrespecting him," she paused. And continue, "Come to think about it, my mother haven't called for once to know how am doing, since the nomination didn't favor me. I need to check on her, and to know her reason." She changed her direction down to her mother's house.

Getting there, Regina, didn't allow her come in, she stood at the door, and spoke. " Where do you think you are entering, after be caught with the curse laid on you.

"Look here, young lady, until you tell the truth about what really happened to your pregnancy, you won't find peace or achieve your aim." Regina reminded her again. It was now clear to Olivia that the cause of her failure in one way be caused by her mother curse on her. And on the other hand, she ignored it and agreed that it was a challenge she had to face.

" Mother, I am innocent, I didn't hurt my unborn baby, I was afflicted with nature, it all happened to be the result of the miscarriage I had. Please, don't lose your trust in me. I remain your blood and will continue to be." She said.

Regina yelled at her, and stopped her from entering again. " It is very foolish of you to be moving around hoping to be the next Alabama governor when you have failed it. Now, get out of my house, you cease to be my daughter from the very first time you destroyed your pregnancy." She ended the conversation and went inside. Olivia, turned round, paused, and knocked the more on the door, yet the privilege wasn't giving to her to enter, non to stay the more. " This is my father house mother, I plead with you, let me in, and hear from me. Don't turn back on me, am Olivia your only child." She pleaded so deeply. And waited for some minutes, believing she would get the opportunity of going in, but her hope was lost after waiting without the door open. She then drove her car away from her mother's house. "I have lost it all; my life is almost dividing; God, why will my mother be so real like this? How sure am not be afflicted by what she said?. The last time I checked, she had vowed that I would never know peace until I confessed my sin to her." She reminds herself what has happened. As she got to her house, she lay quietly on the bed, so confused. So painfu, turning around still thinking about what to do when Jonathan came in. " Darling, you look sad." He said, wanting to know what was wrong with her. "How do you expect me to be happy when you and your dad have destroyed it all?See, I still do not believe that I have lost the position, and if finally it happens to be true, both you and your father will pay for it." She warn him.

" I know you will surely get there, but as it is know, please calm down, all will be fine, father have promised to put things together, and when he is done, you will bounced back to the success you have ever dream and work for. Please exercise more patience and let work it out together." He spoke beautifully to her.

" Really, he should do, because am losing it." She said, as her life was already a mess; again, she remembered how she had spent much time with Charles before Jonathan and his father's unfulfilled promises showed in the picture.

" Getting married to me is never a regret my darling, just that you haven't give me your time, you have seen me as one used in sealing your agreement with my father, but I promised to make you happy and treat you more better than Charles has done if you will give me your heart and accept the fact that we are one." He promised. Olivia, didn't see it as what she wanted at that moment. Gaining her position has been her main expectation and not about Jonathan.
