Chapter 45

"Mum! What did you two discuss outside...I thought you must have sent her home... what's wrong with this woman..." Dean complained immediately as they all entered the room... " Mum! You have changed... I don't know what both if you discuss that made you don't want to drive this woman away... I hate her mum! You know how much I spent just to get Jennifer released from that bastard's son of his... 6 million naira mum!... is that money too small to let go... and now... this woman is coming close to us... what did she want mum! Give it to her and let her stay away from us... I hate her" Dean yelled again while his mum kept staring at Jeffrey's mum but couldn't say anything.
"Dear!... Why don't you take things easy... you just recovered from an accident and the way you shout might result in another problem... why don't you wait to heal up first before you can do anything to her... I and mum won't stop you" Jennifer tried to console him while sitting beside him
"Fuck! You want to advise me...What did I tell you? Stay away from me and stay with this useless woman... you are the cause of me lying down here... followed me, you said no... and now you are here, trying to console me... I hate you... don't come anywhere near my house... I won't change that... When you are done with this woman, go back to your mother... you bastard" Dean yelled again, making tears roll down Jennifer's eyes as she was short of words.
"Did something enter into him or is the drink still affecting him...I should call the doctor before it goes out of hand... I'm coming" Jeffrey's mum commented as she was standing at the doorpost and was about to leave but Dean's mum stopped her.
"Don't!" She yelled and Jeffrey's mum stopped... "Dean... I've talked to her and she'll be leaving soon... why don't you calm yourself down and put your track together" Dean's mum slowly replied as she turned her neck, facing Jeffrey's mum, and blinked at her.
"Thank God" For the first time, Dean yelled but paused after looking at Jennifer.
"Mum... Wait... She's following that woman... I don't want to see this woman anywhere near us anymore..." Dean yelled, putting a shock in everybody's face as he stared at Jennifer.
"C'mon... how could you say such a word to her and even in front of her... Because she helped this woman regain herself... you also turned her into your enemy... What's wrong with you Dean... She's part of our family now so she's staying with us" Dean's mum yelled at him back dragging Jennifer to stand beside her.
"Mum! What're you trying to do...I don't want her anymore or do you want me and you to have a problem in this life... mum! Send her away or I'll also throw you out of my house" The room has become scenery as Dean shouts back at his mum.
"Fuck... Dean... what's happening... you are... not...like..." She was about to complete her statement but Dean yelled back at her making her not complete her sentence.
"Mum! I'm telling you... send her out of my house or you'll also leave my house... I'm tired of everything... Jennifer is very stupid and I hate her..." Dean yelled at her and his loud voice attracted a nurse... but as she was trying to enter, Jeffrey's mum stopped him, making both of them stare from the doorpost.
"Funny" Dean's mum chuckled... " You mean you'll send me out of your house... what are you trying to show here... bossy or what... you want to throw me out of my own house? isn't it funny... you don't even know it... because you were too little...The company which you think you have... I'm the founder of it... Even your late father didn't yell at me or threaten me this way... I did everything to make sure my family didn't even suffer an hinch...There are even two more buildings you don't know I have... let me tell you something... I gave you everything to make you happy but if you continue with this attitude, I'm afraid you'll hate me for the rest of your life if I did what I want to" She was glancing her teeth as everyone around her froze in shock... even Dean... who thought he had everything, froze and couldn't say a word.
"Wow!........" Jeffrey's mum laughed loudly that her stomach began to pain her making it awkward for Dean and his shyness.
"I said it... you don't even have anything on your own! Damn...And you insult me... who is even older than your mother... Isn't it funny... that's how God wants to punish them... foolish son" She continues to laugh while holding her stomach... Dean became shy and couldn't say anything... he kept on staring at his mum.
"Mum! What did you just say... I thought you... told... me..." Dean stammered as his mum interrupted him as he was about to complete his statement.
"Told you, your dad did all of this for you! You see... I never one day take credit for myself but instead, I give all of it to your father... If you don't believe me... fine... but you know my lawyer very well... reach out with him and ask him... he's the only one who knows...That's how I want to train you son! But it's like the wealth you had controls your emotion... Anyway, let's forget about it... but Jennifer is coming with us" His mum interrupts holding Jennifer's palm tightly without letting go while Dean struggles to get up from the sickbed with nobody assisting him.
"Mum! I don't like what you did... Nurses come and help me remove this drip from my hands... I need to go home... I'm not in the mood to say anything again" Dean stood up and talked with his low gentle voice and Jeffrey's mum was busy laughing in the background.
"Sir...I think you should stay here a little sir... you are not fully stable to go now, sir! please rest a little" The nurse rushed to him while trying to sit him down, but Dean pushed her.
"fuck... you... I'll do it myself" Dean removed the plaster in his hand before the nurse rushed to accompany him.
"Mum! Can we go now" His voice remained cold as his mum and Jennifer accompanied him outside the hospital...but as Jennifer tried to carry him, he stared at her but didn't have any option... and also...Jeffrey's mum was behind them.
As they all left the hospital, Dean entered the vehicle but Jennifer was too scared to sit next to him so she sat at the front while his mother took the steering wheel.
As she was about to take off, Jeffrey's mum stood beside her, stretching off her hands... Dean wanted to say but didn't...
Dean's mum put her hands inside her wallet and brought out some money while giving it to her.
"Don't forget our deal ma'am... I need my son" Jeffrey's mum whispered slowly into her ear, making Dean scared and confused before she drove off.

"How come you became friends with that huge man... I'm still finding it hard to believe... Everybody who enters this station must always have a strong reason to talk about that huge man... How did you do it..." A prisoner walks up to Jeffrey while he is eating and questions him... although, his colleagues aren't present with him.
"Oh! You love to know!" Jeffrey commented slowly as he tried drawing his food to his table but the young man held the food.
"What's... happening..." The young man stammering as both of them stare at each other but the look Jeffrey gave him, made him scared and let go of his hands.
"Thanks" Jeffrey commented smiling after oppressing the young man.
"Sir...Sir..." The young man stammer as his neck moves anytime Jeffrey is trying to eat from his plate.
"Yeah! What did you ask me... I'm available now" Jeffrey commented, still eating from the two-place slowly.
"How did you become that man friend... how did you do it... I love to be among you guys... I don't have a friend here and I don't know who to talk to but as I saw you...I " Jeffrey didn't allow him to complete his statement as he shut him down with a finger.
"You can't join us sir... and besides... you didn't come here to tell me you want to join us... I'll only answer the first reason you came here and if you are ready... you'll repeat it" Jeffrey felt like the boss since no one will be able to touch him because he has a mansion man with him.
"Ok, sir... how do you know get to know each other... he torture me when I came in here... not only him though... So how did you do it sir" the man commented, still staring at him as he ate from the plate?
"Yeah... I was his senior in school and I was so nice to him and I'm his only friend then... so... he's repaying me the favor" Jeffrey stood up and left after replying with the food in his hand
