D9ty7: CHAPTER 3
Raymond drove into the big exclusive Douglas estate which was voted the largest in the country. Inside the estate stood many mansions and low cost houses which were all occupied by the Douglas and their staffs.
Chief &Mrs Douglas occupies one of the numerous mansion alongside their only daughter, Atinuke who just returned from the states after studying Business Administration. Their only son occupies another big bungalow where he is living the life of a typical bachelor even though he has many maids and servants at his disposal.
Instead of driving into his own apartment he diverted his car towards his parent's mansion which was presently occupied by his mother alone.
"Good evening mum." He said prostrating.
"Hello darling." Mrs Bianca Douglas replied pulling him up.
"How are you mum?"
"As you can see am fine." Bianca replied.
"I came here to say hi and pick up a book from dad's library." Raymond said as he stood up just when one of the maidservant served him snacks and juice.
"Son we need to talk." Bianca said.
Raymond knew at once what his mother wanted to talk about seeing how serious she looked.
"Am coming mum." He said as he hurriedly left the spacious living room to his father's library which was stocked with books by philosophers, tips for a successful business and books explaining extensively on leadership. He picked three books and locked the library.
"Raymond." Bianca called.
"Yes mum." he replied.
He could see how serious his mother was, so he dare not make mistakes.
"Do you realise that you are not getting younger anymore?" she asked.
He kept quiet as he was staring at his mother knowing where the discussion was heading to.
"All your mates are married, the few that are yet to get married are engaged already. Am sure you don't have a girlfriend talkless of bringing anyone home for marriage anytime soon." She continued.
Raymond laughed at the mention of girlfriend.
"Tell me, are you afraid of talking to them? I can arrange good girls who'll be you life partner and a good daughter-in-law." she said.
"Mum. Am still working on it. I'll bring your long awaited daughter-in-law very soon. Just give me time to work things out." Raymond pleaded.
"You can't do two things at a time. You can't be overseeing your father's business empire and still be on the look out for a decent girl. You have to drop one for now." She advised.
"I'll talk to dad tomorrow. We'll draw out a conclusion." he said hoping his mother will drop the topic which she did much to his suprise.
Then he realised how much he was hungry.
"Anything here to eat? Am famished." he announced.
"Your wife should be able to get that for you." She replied.
"Mum!" he exclaimed laughing.
"No, assuming you are married, your wife....." she was saying when his phone rang thereby cutting her short.
Raymond picked his phone and spoke with the caller for the next ten minutes during which Mrs Douglas exited the living room and ordered one of the maids to serve Raymond what to eat.

D9ty7:
---continuation--
Chief James Douglas a billionaire and a
business tycoon was seated in his spacious
sitting room with the members of his family.
His wife Bianca and their last daughter Tinuke
a twenty-two year old damsel sat on the
couch.
From the look of things it seems like they have
a function to attend because Mrs Douglas was
checking the time every minute.
"Mum, whats keeping us waiting?" Tinuke asked
as she seemed to have run out of patience.
"Your brother needs to lead the way. No one
knows the way to his wife's house. And
remember its his introduction, we all have to
move together." Bianca explained.
Just then the door into the sitting room
opened and Raymond walked in dressed in a
white native atttire sewn to perfection by the
best designer in the country followed by his
younger cousin, Dayo who just finished from
the university.
At once they all stood up and Dayo gave a
short prayer as they all filed out of the house
into three waiting cars. A limousine which is
expected to carry Raymond and Dayo while a
wine coloured space bus is expected to carry
Chief Douglas, his wife and Tinuke. The last
vehicle in the convoy is a newly purchased
Nissan Amanda who has no occupant in it
except the driver.
The Amanda led the way followed by the limo
and lastly the space bus.
"Hello David. Meet us at the round about."
Chief Douglas said to his brother over the
phone.
His younger brother, Chief David another
business tycoon is expected to join the
groom's family train with his convoy as they
all march toward's the bride's family house.
*****THIRTY MINUTES LATER*****
The introduction ceremony had progressed
over time as the grooms family had paid some
traditional neccesities. Even though the bride
came from a low class family, she was
howerver accepted into the family. The
Douglas, arguably the richest business man in
the country. His son, Douglas is the yongest
billionaire in th country as he is the one in
charge of his father's chains of business both
in the country and abroad.
Despite the fact that Bianca was against the
union, her husband talked her out of choosing
a partner for their son.
The MC anchoring the even called out the
bride for the first time and Tina walked out
looking beautiful and in a simillar attire to that
of Raymond.
"No way. My nephew can't get married to this
lady before me." David shouted at the top of
his voice as Tina knelt down before her
fathers-in-law. Therefore bringing the
proceedings to a halt and shock was written on
everybody's face while guilt was clearly written
in capital letters on Tina's face.
--to be continued--

Great story I must confess....but wait o! So Chief David was not ashame to mention his fling with a prostitute in the presence of his entire family?? Shame on him!!
And why must d society alwayz blame the lady and ignore the man whenever there is a sexual act??

Its nice to know that a man would admit to being with call girls just to protect one of his family members... I'd have preferred you to have made that last part into a chapter, rather than summarize it. Nice one, keep up the good work..
