Episode 17
Joel had reported to Tiara about sisterâs visit to the clinic and the ever curious Tiara had sent Sophia to get the information about Fionaâs visit.
Tiara stood in her sitting room waiting for Pedro. She became somewhat relieved when she saw Pedro walking into the sitting room
âWhat news do you have on Toby?â
âI gave him seven hours to respondâ
âIs his time up?â
âYeah,five minutes agoâ
âSend the photosâ
âTiara,that is the only leverage we haveâ
âDo we have another entry pointâ
âWe do but I think we should save itâ
âWhat do we do?â
âTrust me,I will handle thisâ
Mr Tobyâs house was no doubt big,âa mansionâ was the best description. It was their wedding present from Berthaâs dad. The walls were covered with marble, it has an indoor swimming pool which no one had ever never made use of,Bertha was too tired to swim and Toby was always out,Bertha believed Toby had never noticed the swimming pool.
Toby had never stepped out of his house ever since the episode at the gay club. Not that selling the shares would affect him but he refuse to give in to threats and that was why he would allow that son of a Dam at the gay club to send the pictures to Bertha and he would try his best to explain to her,after all Bertha loves him and he was almost sure she would even fight for him,the thought of that made him smile.
Toby was still daydreaming when Bertha walked in holding a package, at first, he thought it was nothing but when Bertha unwrapped it and exposed a big brown envelope like the one Pedro had shown him in the gay club,he came to sit at her side and saw the bold letters engrossed at the front of the envelope, it read; TOBYâS PARTNER FROM THE GAY CLUB TO BERTHA OBODO.
âGay club?â,Bertha asked âI hate gaysâ
He became tensed
âGays are human, Berthaâ
âI didnât say they arenât humans but I hate themâ
âOh pleaseâ
âThey irritate me and I could kill one when I see one. What do you have to do with a gay?â,she said opening it
âDonât open it!â,he almost shouted but Bertha had already opened and found blank papers.
Sophia found herself standing with Tiara,she had to admit that she had seen things and had done many unpleasant things but she was scared of Tiara.
âWhat do you have for me?â,Tiara asked
âThis is the file I stole from the clinic. Itâs your sisterâs fileâ
âThat will be allâ
âYes maâamâ,Sophia left
When Pedro received the call from Tiara,he knew something was wrong,he had noticed how her voice had risen slightly and seeing her now,he could see the fire burning in her eyes,her hands were shaking slightly and he believed she noticed it too because she had put them in her pocket, she was tensed but she still maintained her coldness and he admired her for that.
âSend the letter, itâs time for Liza to come homeâ
âWhat is happening?â,Pedro asked
âI want Liza to come homeâ
âIt was your word that what youâre doing would set a bad example for Liza,so what is happening?â
âFionaâs pregnantâ
âAre you alright?â
âYes just send the letterâ
Pedro reached for his phone and put a call through Joseph and instructed him to send the letter to Liza,when Tiara heard the instruction he was giving to Joseph, she came closer to him
âI sent you not Josephâ,Tiara said
Pedro spoke on the phone âDo it,Joseph, Iâll talk to you laterâ,he disconnected
âCome letâs sitâ,he said urging her to the nearest sofa
âWhy did you do thatâ,Tiara asked when they sat
âDo what?â
âSend Josephâ
âBecause I canât leave you alone with the way you are nowâ
âHmmmâ
âSo tell me,how do you feel?â
âI feel nothingâ,she lied
âYou canât lie to me. I can see right through youâ
âI canât believe Fiona is pregnant for the son of the man who murdered my fatherâ,she blurted out without thinking.
Pedro brought her head to his shoulder and began cuddling her
Tiara said still retaining her current positionâher head on Pedroâs shoulder âJust so you know,that kiss meant nothing to meâ
Still cuddling her,he said âShhhâŠ.it meant something to meâ
Silence but a fulfilling one
Pedroâs phone disrupted the satisfying silence
âYes?â,it was Toby on the other end
âItâs Tobyâ
âYou still not selling?â
âI amâ
âGood. Iâll call you with a locationâ
âOkayâ,the call ended
Tiara was already staring at him
âThat was Toby,he wants to sellâ
âFinally some good newsâ
âYeahâ,he held up her chin âYou are coming with meâ
âIâm notâ
âYou are and thereâs no argument about that. I canât leave you all alone and Iâm serious, Tiaraâ,his voice had a tone of finality and she knew it was final but she also refused to be controlled by her employee. She would tell him to leave her alone. She however, found herself saying âFine,Iâll go get my purseâ
When Tiara entered into the car,she thought to herself that Pedro had power over her and that was something she didnât like but she comforted herself with the lie that Pedro controlled her because she allowed him toâŠ.No,Pedro didnât control her at all or did he??
Pedro had called Toby to meet him at a small cafe where he just pulled over about two minutes ago waiting for any sign of Toby.
âIâll handle this,Tiara. Thereâs nothing for you to worry about, okay?â,he said caressing her cheek
âOkayâ
What the hell was wrong with her?,she asked herself, does she have to agree to everything Pedro says to her?â-No,she is the boss,she canât let Pedro think heâs the boss
âThatâs Mr Toby over thereâ,Pedro said pointing to where Toby stood âWanna tag along?â
âYesâ
âCâmon,letâs goâ
They choose a seat that was in open
âI brought the necessary document,youâll just have to wire the money into this account. You sign,I sign,business doneâ
âThatâs the problemâ,Pedro said
âWhat problem?â
âWe are no longer buying for twenty millionâ
âWhat?,howâŠhow much areâŠyouâŠyou buying for?â,Toby stammered
âTen million and you have until two hours to decide,a minute after that,it changes to five million. Tick-Tockâ
Tiara smiledâ-Pedro is the best
