"No mom I am not staying with her"
"Are you afraid I will find out you're a fraud who only wants my son's money if you stay with me"
"What!!?!!"
" I mean you can't hide your true self forever" Mira said and isa wasn't having that
"Ma'am please leave my house" she said
"Isa let's talk"
"Listen to your mom"Mira said
Isabella's mom drag her with her
"Mom how can you allow her to say that"
"Isa listen it's a good deal"
"Mom I am not for sale"
"Who says you're"
"Mom she will think I am after her money"
"Who cares isa, she's just throwing out her money"
"Mom!!"
"Listen isa i your mom sometimes acts stupid but I am smart, she wants you to stay at her house for four months without working it's right for her to pay you that money even if she calls you a money sucker, you would have made close to such an amount working, if she wants you to stop then let her pay you"
"Mother?"
"Isa listen that is a good money a very good money, this money to them is nothing but to us it's a lot….. we have to pay rent for this place next month, although business is good we can't always guarantee that it will be the same every day, the landlady is desperate to send her son overseas and the price she's selling for this house, we can get it through that money the woman is proposing. Isa we can own this place and we will not have problems with renting, our business is good but we haven't gained the proper standings that we need to assure ourselves that no matter the test of wave we can stand it" her mother Amanda said
"Mom she will call me a gold digger"
"Let her call you whatever she wants, when you stay with her prove her wrong. I mean all those thoughts she has of you prove her wrong. As for the money, What we're doing is business, she's a business woman she would understand. Isa you have me and your siblings to run the business while you're away, let's save the money she will give us, i and your siblings will work to make more. We are only saving her money for the future we don't know" Amanda said
Amanda went back to talk to Mira
"My daughter will stay with you without working because of the distance, you're going to the city right"
"Yes"
"Ok then you will pay us triple that amount, because we would have made a lot with her around she's hardworking you know"
"How do you want the payment"
"Through my account"
"Isn't it for her"
"She will not accept but I am looking out for our future for this four months without her around. This is business we're talking about, the company stands a risk of collapsing without her"
"You don't need to explain I would have considered it stupid if she did that for free without care for her future and family. You depend on this business of hers so trust me I understand, I am glad there's some who thinks like me and don't worry I am not going to use this against her. It's just a tradition of us that the girlfriends of my son's go through the process to prepare them for marriage and to see if they're the right choice for my son's" Mira said
"I am glad you understand" Amanda said
And Mira left telling Isabella that she should prepare, Nathan will come for her in two days
"My mom said she talked with you and was able to convince you". Nathan said
"Yh with her money, she offered me triple the amount I make in a month so I can leave my job and go with you two to the city" Isabella said
"Did you take it?" He asked
"If I did will you be disappointed and leave me?" She asked
"No it's just that I want to know"
"Yes my mom took it for our good, my mom thinks it's not fair for me to leave my job as we depend on that money I earn"
"I think she's right"
"Although I don't feel good about it I think she's right, I should think about our future.....so thank your mother on my behalf for securing me and my families future and say sorry for the way I spoke to her" Isabella said
"The woman sent us the money" Amanda said to her second daughter Alice and only son Ezekiel
"Is that money really a lot?" Ezekiel asked
"Eze it's enough for us to secure this place and even save some"
"Really mother"
"Yes"
"Alice your sister leaves in two days time, I want you to go to the landlady and ask her about the house" Amanda said
Nathan came for Isabella
All the necessary arrangement was made for Isabella
Their house was really big and looked expensive, it had a lot of rooms and there were so many workers in there
"Welcome Isabella"
"Thank you ma'am, I am sorry for the last time"
"It's ok the maid will show you your room, freshen up and let's eat it was a long and tiresome ride" Mira said and the maid lead Isabella to her room
