Chapter 11

Josh’s Pov

I got up early and headed to my father’s house. I didn’t want to leave my beautiful lovely wife to be in bed, but I had no choice. Dad needed to speak with me. I assumed it had something to do with my mother. Years of preparation and manipulation paid off, and the results were even better than we had planned. We pulled off the greatest theft ever. If only she was in the right mind to witness it. We went in looking for lemons but ended up with oranges.

When I arrived at my father’s compound, he was waiting at the gate, like a father awaiting the return of a son who had gone to fight for his country and whom he hadn’t seen in years. He was unable to attend the final divorce court hearing, but I informed him as soon as the judge read out the lovely lullaby.

He dashed for me and embraced me in joy as soon as I opened the car door. He murmured, his eyes. yearly, “I knew you could do it, son.” He said. “I never, ever doubted you.”

Nothing in the world made a man happier than a proud father, so I kept his smile and hugged him tightly. To be honest, I was against the notion when he proposed taking down the late Charles Nashi and his daughter. I told him to accept his losses and move on. Grudges passed down through generations inevitably ended in tragedy. I had no intention of joining his vendetta, but when my mother’s health and life were jeopardized, I felt I had no choice but to accede to his plans and return what was taken from us.

We were on the verge of becoming homeless, and Mom was the hardest hit; she couldn’t handle the shame and turned to alcohol and drugs to cope, sealing her mind. I saw her deteriorate from a successful entrepreneur to an alcoholic old rug.

Despite all of our efforts, she relapsed, and every time I saw her, my blood boiled causing me to become even more determined to eliminate the enemies who had put her into melancholy.

“How is she?” I posed the question.

He took me inside, saying, “She was asking for you.” He continued, “Did Jessica agree to combine the two parties?

“We’re talking about Jessica,” I joked, “and she’s still upset at me for even mentioning it,” I answered, making him laugh.

“She is a woman of high test,” he replied.

We got to the door, instead of opening it, he paused and put his hand on my shoulder, hist countenance solemn, He was about to say something I didn’t like, that much I could tell.

“This is your final visit to her in this house,” he said, “I’m going to put her in a decent home

tomorrow.”
