After listening to Mrs Brianna"s explanation, Mr Greyson sighed and shook his head. "I think I know what is going on dear. I know just what to do. Thank you for coming to me. I"ll handle it."Brianna spent thirty minutes in Mr Greyson"s office. He kept moving from one topic to the other, he was so nice, easy to talk too and it didn"t feel as if she was talking to a billionaire. Everything about him on the internet was a lie, except maybe the womanising part. She didn"t feel intimidated in his presence, he made her comfortable.
After she left his company, she went straight home to her family. She had promised Tega that she would take him to the hospital tomorrow plus she missed her baby, Beverly. Her grandmother had moved into her house since the accident, helping her out with the baby.
Soma stood outside the hospital, with a red rose in one hand and a gift basket in the other. looking at the building, she sighed. She was scared of going in, she didn"t know if she should go in. Dwayne was acting strange and she was scared of going into Ms Sky"s room unannounced. Thinking back to what the woman did for her family in this same hospital, she bravely took a step forward, and another and walked into the building.
Dwayne and Anton were fighting over Sky"s daughter. Dwayne placed a soft kiss on the baby"s cheek and smiled brightly. He had refused to give the baby to Anton. Sweetpea II was sleeping calmly on the baby"s bed. While Mrs Onome and Kira arranged the baby"s clothes.
"Jenna wants to start a new bet mom" Anton said to Mrs Brianna as he eyed Dwayne. "She already has two names for the babies, are you both game?"
Mrs Onome shook her head as she watched the two ramble on about rubbish. Jenna was the bet queen. Jenna had told her about the baby"s name and she declined. She smiled as the boys called different names, she really loved the boys. She showed Dwayne his mother"s food bag, the one she brought with her yesterday with different meals.
"Please say a very big thank you to your mom for me. Tell her we enjoyed the meal." Mrs Onome stood up and walked close to the door, to pick the basket up. She was checking the content of the basket when she heard a soft knock on the door.
"That is strange Anton. We are all here, Brianna and Jenna aren"t coming back here and the nurse just left. Who could it be? But before she could reach for the door k.n.o.b, Neto pulled the door open forcefully as he barked some orders into his phone.
Mrs Onome was astonished. She wondered what was wrong with the poor boy. She was lost in thought, thinking of the way Neto stormed out of the room when she heard a gentle voice say "Good evening ma"am." Gathering her thoughts, she quickly smiled at the pretty young lady at the door.
"h.e.l.lo dear, how are you, and how can I help you?" Mrs Onome asked.
"I"m Somadina. I"m a friend of Mr Dwayne Teffa, Ms Sky"s fiancee. I"m sorry I came unannounced but I really want to know how she is doing. Ms Sky saved my father"s life, I owe her ma"am, please allow me see her, so I can say a few prayers for her." Soma rushed the words, afraid that if she paused, she might loose courage and run out of the hospital. It felt awkward calling Dwayne another woman"s man.
Dwayne didn"t need to listen twice to know who was at the door. The hair at the back of his neck stood up as he heard her voice. He quickly handed the baby to Anton and excused himself. He didn"t know why he felt hostile towards her. Somehow it didn"t feel right that he should be happy with another woman while Ms Sky laid there lifeless. Truth be told, he had missed her. He"s been avoiding her calls cause he didn"t want to hear her voice.
He slowly calmed down as he walked to the door. He was about to drag her out of the room when Mrs Onome said to him in her authoritative voice. "Dwayne, your friend is here. Can you be so kind to take her to my daughter"s room."
Dwayne knew the woman noticed his mood change as he heard the girls voice. So instead of arguing, he simply said a yes ma"am and led Soma into Sky"s room without glancing her way.
Neto could hear the sirens from afar. He was close to his father"s cottage. He kept praying as he held the steering wheel tight. "Please let him be alright, please G.o.d keep my father for me."

Neto had gotten a call from the hospital informing him that he"s father"s cottage was on fire with his father locked inside. He left the hospital in a daze and drove like a maniac to the man"s house. Neto could smell the smoke in the air. The moment he got to the house, he saw that the smoke was coming from the back of the house. He quickly jumped down from his car and ran to the back of the house.
He saw the mini fire struck parked at the front of the house but there was no one inside. He quickly ran to the backyard to check his father. Neto was astounded by what he saw, his father and chief Tanko, a fireman and a few of their friends standing over a barbeque with a big ram, roasting on fire.
Chief Tanko was laughing at something Mr Greyson said. "What the f.u.c.k!" Neto couldn"t control his anger. "What the heck is going on here dad? I drove here like a maniac, only to see you and your friends catching fun. Do I look like a joke to you dad?"
Neto was panting hard, he was really mad at his dad.
"I"m sitting this one out, Grey. I warned you about this." Chief Tanko took his beer and went to sit close to the pool along with two of their friends.
"Calm down Greyson Junior. I know you wouldn"t have agreed to come out except for something serious. Let me ask you something. What the h.e.l.l are you doing in the hospital? avoiding the major thing you want, acting like a p.u.s.s.y. I raised you better Netochuckwu Greyson. If we want something, we go after it. Especially women, we don"t shy away from them. I thought you were in love with this lady in particular?"
"Stop it dad" Neto yelled. "I don"t need any advice from you. You are the last person I need to take advice from."
Ignoring his son"s outburst, Mr Greyson continued. "All I"m saying is that she needs to hear from you. You know how important it is to talk to comatose patient, they listen. Maybe your voice is just all she needs to a.s.sure her to come back."
Neto took in a deep breath and sighed. "What the h.e.l.l do you want from me dad? Who told me to avoid marriage like a plague? Who told me not to make any woman important in my life?, Who told me that if I wanna make it life, I shouldn"t commit to any woman? You even made me sign a contract then that I wouldn"t get married before you made me your heir dad. What is it you want from me dad?"
"What do you want son? Do you want to marry her? is that what this is all about? Do you want to end up chained by family? stock to one woman for the rest of your life? Spend your time chasing little crazy kids in diapers? While your mate are out there making money, you"ll be stuck at home with your fat wife and noisy kids with the whole place messed up. Is that what you want son, do you think you can give her the love she deserves?" Mr Greyson asked his son, watching his every reaction.
