I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing..
“Who could be calling me ?
I picked up the phone from the table beside
me with sleepy eyes and received it without
looking at the caller
“Who is this?”, I grunted
“Troy are you still sleeping?”, June voice
chimed in
“Oh June “. I called, how are you?. Why are
you calling by this time?
“What do you mean?”, she asked , it is
already morning
“Really?. I asked opening my eyes wider and
the rays of the morning sun shone through the
window brightening up the room
“Don’t tell me you are still sleeping?”, she
asked , you promised to attend lectures today
“Lectures? I don’t think that would be
possible today”, I informed, i have lot of things
to do
“No way Troy.you have been saying that for
the past two weeks , it is either today or never”.
She informed and ended the call….
“Did she Just end the call on me? Why is she
taking this change of a thing so serious? Fine, I
promised to change but I never meant it to be
this way ..
.
I dragged myself out of the bed and went over
to the bathroom to freshen up and soon
returned to the room when i was done..
I went over to the wardrobe for a change of
clothing and headed downstairs …
.
“Good morning Daddy”. Tricia greeted with
her tiny voice , she was sitting on her high chair
eating in the dinning
“Morning baby”.i responded, who taught you
to greet?
“Daddy mommy”. She replied and my mom
who was seated beside her laughed
I smiled at her and sat down on a seat beside
her
“What of Trent?”,I asked
“school”. My mom replied. Are you going
somewhere?”. She asked
“School”; I replied
“Really?”. She asked in surprise, i have never
seen you go to school
“That is because I hardly go”. I replied and
she gave me a curious stare
“What is up for breakfast?”. I asked
“Bread and scrambled egg”. She replied
dishing it out to a plate
I ate my food silently and stood up from the
table when I was done
“Daddy”. Tricia called , I want to go to school
also
“You will ”.I assured her , very soon….::
.
.
I drove into the school building and parked in
front of my department
I alighted from the car and all eyes were on
me.
I headed to the class ignoring the stares and
Murmurs from the students around..
.
The lecturer stopped teaching immediately I
walked into the class
“Gooood mooooorning Troy”. he greeted
stammering
“Treat me like other student”. I said and
walked toward a seat ignoring the stares of the
students in the class…..
“Continue with your teaching “. I instructed
the lecturer and he nodded before he continued
“What a boring class”
I looked around the class and scoffed when I
met the gaze of the last person I ever wanted to
see… Miguel..
.
.
Yakusa
.
.
I stared at the account book and threw it at
Carl in anger
“Does it mean I am getting getting bankrupt”
“I am sorry Yakusa but”……
“Get out”. I barked
But……
“I said get out”. I yelled puffing out smoke
and he scampered out of the room …..
“How did it get to this?
I was known as the richest drug lord but
everything changed when Troy betrayed me..
I always knew him to be so smart but I never
expected him to turn against me
he called it revenge but I call it backstabbing..
……
It is time for me to act, I need him out of the
way……..

.
. I sighed in relief when the lecturer walked
out of the class.
I stood up and was about leaving the class
when I heard my name
I turned back and met the gaze of Miguel
“hey buddy. he greeted smiling, it has really
been long
“Don’t act like we are cool”.I replied and
walked out on him
“Crazy”. I muttered..
.
.
I headed to my car and was surprised to see
June leaning on it.
I studied her ,she was looking kind of pale
“babe. I called moving closer , you look pale
“I am having a fever but i will be alright”. she
assured me
“ Are you sure?”. I asked
“Yes”. she replied smiling, I saw your car
parked here on my way back from class and
decided to wait for you. How was lectures?
“Boring. I replied and she smiled
“Here”. She said handing me a paper
“What is this?”. I asked looking into the paper
“What I need you to do”. She replied grinning
“What!!!. I exclaimed, what do you mean by
all this ? I asked reading it out
You must stop smoking and drugs
You must stop cursing
You must stop drinking
And you must quit the Mafia. This is too
much June
“No it isn’t, you asked me to teach you to
change so this is it
“You must be kidding?”. I asked laughing, are
you trying to turn me to a zombie ?
“No I am just trying to change you for the
better”. She replied
“Oh yeah”. I drawled, will you be following
me home?. I asked
“No. She replied
“Why?”. I asked
“Mum asked me to come over”. She replied
“Alright. I replied , call me when you get home
“I will. She promised
I kissed her before getting into my car and
zoomed ….
I glanced at the lists and scoffed
“She really wants to turn me to a zombie”….

I watched Troy drove off and smiled, I was
very happy he was trying to change
It took me two weeks to convince him to
attend lectures and he did…
.
I walked to my room happily and was
surprised to see Mary already waiting for me
“Didn’t you attend lectures?”. I asked her
“I did but the lecturer rounded up the class
earlier. How was lectures?
“Fine, the lec……..I stopped when I felt the
urge to puke and ran into the bathroom…..
I returned to the room feeling weak and met
Mary curious gaze
“What is wrong with you?”. She asked
“I don’t know”. I replied with a shrug, can we
go now?
“Sure “. She said still looking at me weirdly…
.
.
We paid the driver and alighted when we got
to the front of our home …
.
We walked into the sitting room and met my
mum seated on the sofa
“Mary June “. She called standing up to hug
us
“Mother”. We called hugging her back, we
really miss you
“how is dad?”. I asked
“he is not back from work? . She replied
studying me , What is wrong with you? She
asked, you look pale
“I feel feverish”. I replied
“I am sorry baby. she said checking my
temperature, you need to go see the doctor…
.
.
.
We walked into the Doctor office when we got
to the hospital
“Good morning Sam”. My mom greeted the
doctor as we walked in
“Ophelia”. how are you doing?”. he asked my
mom and flashed me a smile,how are you
June?
“I am fine sir”. I replied shyly
“Did you come for a general checkup?”.he
asked as we took our seat
“No. my mom replied,June is sick
“What exactly is wrong with you?”. The doctor
asked me
“I feel weak most of the time”. I replied
“Is that all?”. he asked
“Yes. I lied
“I will need to carry out a test to find out
exactly what is wrong with you”. he informed….
.
“Oooouch!. I exclaimed as he drew out blood
from me
“Sorry baby”. My mom said patting me
The doctor soon left with the blood sample…..
“ you will be alright”. My mom assured me
and I gave her a small smile….
.
.
We waited for about 20 mins before the doctor
walked in , he was looking gloomy
“I need to see you privately Ophelia”. he
informed
“Is anything wrong?”My mum asked in alarm
“No. he replied, I just don’t know how to break
the news
“What news?”. My mother asked, please tell
me
he looked and me and sighed
“About June pregnancy”. he replied…..
“What!!”. I exclaimed in shock, it can’t be, I am
not pregnant
“Please be gentle with her”.The Doctor advised
and left the room
“Who is responsible?”. My mom asked as
soon as we were alone
“I am not pregnant mom”. I replied and she
gave me a thunderous slap
Mom”. I called sobbing
“Who are you sleeping with June?”. She yelled
“No one”.i lied
“Don’t lie to me June, is it Troy ?”
I stared at her without answering
Why have you chose to disgrace me and your
father?”. She asked sobbing, Why?. I trusted
you June that was why I supported your
relationship with Troy but you forgot about the
principle I taught you and opened your legs
wide for him
“Mum”. I called softly
“Can’t you wait till he marries you?”. She
asked
“I am sorry mom”
“ She looked at me with disgust and stood up.
Get ready for your wedding, you are getting
married to Troy………..
