Present Day

Mofe approached the reception very surprised that renovations hadn't begun. He’d assumed with the sponsorship from his company, it would have begun in earnest but was surprised to see all was as it was two weeks back since he’d last been there.

He'd come over today with intentions to reveal his true identity as per his aunt's instructions, and get to the bottom of everything. He had been estranged too long from his daughter's life, he didn't have ant a fight with Ezinne, he didn't even want to rehash his past with her. All he wanted to do was move forward, know his daughter and come to an agreement with her on how to make up for what he had missed from her life so far.

He was still royally angry with her but as his aunt had instructed, he needed to shelve that anger aside for a while, so as not to ruin the reunion. It sounded so easy but he wasn't that naive, Ezinne was sure to freak out when he revealed himself to her. He hoped to God things wouldn't get as bad as he suspected they could.

On getting closer to the building, he heard raised voices of people definitely in an argument, one of which was Ezinne's. He quickened his strides wondering what could be going on.

At the reception, Maureen was behind her desk, an uneasy expression on her features, but she managed a surprised smile when he came in.

“Mr. Stevens, Hello, wasn't expecting you today."

"Yeah," he said looking at the closed door of Ezinne's office, that was where all the ruckus was coming from. "I came to drop off this. " He dropped the newspaper on her desk asking, "you are on page 36. What in the world is going on in there?"

"Emmmm....it's .. They are having a slight disagreement." Maureen managed

It certainly didn't seem slight to him."About what?"

"She shrugged uncertainly but Mofe was sure she had an idea what it was about but didn't plan on snitching.

"Okay, can you let your madam know I'm around and I would like to see her?" He told her. That should quell whatever was going on in there.

Maureen picked up the intercom and dialled Ezinne's number.

"Umm...Madam, Mr. Stevens is here for you.... Okay."

She dropped the phone and looked up at him "she'll be with you in a minute."

The voices went quiet now and shortly after, the door opened with Rachel was the first one out followed by Ezinne's business manager lover.
Mofe's eyes were trained on him, the other man didn't seem joyous at seeing him either. They regarded each other in silence.

Rachel, whose features on leaving the room had been pissed brightened slightly on seeing him "Mr. Stevens, what a surprise, we'd thought you'd left us for good. Its been a while since we saw you, how have you been?"

"I've been fine, thank you. I had to travel for a while." Mofe replied her with a quick glance, before taking his gaze back to Ezinne's lover who still regarded him silently before for some unspoken reason, he turned and walked out of the reception.

Mofe had sensed the man's displeasure, probably because of the just cut short argument of a few minutes before. If Mofe had to take a guess off the top of his head, he would say money had something to do with their disagreement.

"What's your weekend like, Sunday evening, precisely? Can you be free?" Rachel began asking and Mofe had to spare her another glance.

"Errr.... possibly?..." He replied unsure, wondering what this could be about.

"Ezinne and I would love if you could join us for dinner, just a little something to say thanks ?" She asked.

He wasn't sure about it, he doubted Ezinne would want to have dinner when she knew who really was.

"Err...." He was about to decline when Maureen's shriek tore through office.

"What the.." Rachel shook

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," She apologised, clamping a hand over her offending mouth but the glee still remained all too evident on her face, the newspaper lay open on her desk and he guessed she'd seen the feature on the centre.

"What's that?" Ezinne flung open the door to her office, demanding.

Mofe turned to her, going over her appearance, she wasn't in the usual kaftan this time, instead she'd opted for grey pants and a sleeveless multi coloured chiffon blouse that showed off her creamy slender arms. The blouse was cinched at the waist with a belt and he wondered at how slim her waist had remained all this time. Motherhood hadn't affected her figure in the least.

Shaking himself, he told himself fe wasn't admiring her even though he recalled how it had felt to put his hands on her waist and pull her close to himself. He needed to get a grip, this was Ezinne, she had pushed him away and kept their child secret from him all these years. He should hate her but here he was, appreciating her body when he should know better.

"I'm sorry Ma, it's the papers, we are in the papers." Maureen said barely controlling the excitement in her voice.

Rachel was looking at her amusedly "Is that why you are screeching like a banshee?"

"I'm sure it's more to do with her photograph on the page," he added dryly trying to get his mind off Ezinne's body with the joke. Maureen rolled her eyes at him.

"You ran the feature?" Ezinne asked him, surprise and happiness brightening her features.

"Yes," he replied her steeling himself from appreciating how adorable she looked when happy. There was a time he would have done anything to have such a look on her face.

'Arent you still?' His mind's voice asked and he had to agree. He'd had to call in a big favour with an Editor in a top news agency which did business with his organisation to run the story on the paper.

"Let me take a look," Rachel moved towards Maureen's desk while Ezinne beckoned with her hand in his direction , gesturing that he come into her office.

"Mr. Stevens, you have done so much for us already, please step into my office, I'm not sure how exactly to thank you."

"You could start by forcing him to come to dinner on Sunday evening!" Rachel called out just before Ezinne shut the door.

He couldn't help the smile that crept up the side of his mouth at Rachel's resilience. "She sure is pushy," he muttered noticing the laptop on her desk which was opened. He hadn't seen it before in her office and he doubted it was hers, probably Rachel's or her manager lover boyfriend's.

Ezinne also wore a small smile of her own "You don't know the half of it... Please have a seat.... How have you been, it's been a while." She seemed so genuinely pleased to have him there, if only she knew who he really was, he thought.

"Fine.. although quite surprised that work hadn't begun on the place especially that building you live in." He said as he took the seat opposite hers.

"Yeah...." Her face dropped now. "We will begin as soon as we can resolve some issues."

Mofe frowned, what did she exactly mean by issues?

"What do you mean, madam?" He asked trying to be calm about it all.

"Something to do about clearing the debt we've been racking up for a while now, that's according to the business manager."

Mofe shook his head "No..No, that money was so you could do something about the present living conditions of you and your daughter..."

My business manager thinks otherwise." She replied quietly.

What the .....? Mofe Sat up, How much debt had they amassed that work couldn't begin on the house. He had asked Jared to write out a sizable check that ran to the tune of six figures and they had a quarterly arrangement, which meant she would keep receiving the donation every three months, all year round.

There was enough money here to pay off whatever loans in instalments and work on her residence simultaneously.Was that what the shouting had been about?

"I don't think your ........." Before he could complete his statement, Maureen burst through the door.

"Sorry ma but Madam Rachel and Mr. Emeka are at it again outside." She said.

Ezinne shot up from her chair muttering a hurried "Please excuse me for a moment, Mr. Stevens." as she hurried out, Maureen closing the door behind her.

Mofe had a niggling feeling that something wasn't right, he didn't trust that shady business manager lover of hers.
His eyes fell on the laptop on the desk.

He was quite sure the PC belonged to the man. If it did, it would contain a lot of information. Information on how he managed the finances and he badly wanted to take a peek at it. It was wrong to do so but he needed to allay his suspicions, besides he would be doing a lot of good to Ezinne by saving the centre from losing money to a fraud.

He also even had stakes in the place after all he couldn't be funnelling millions into this place so his daughter could have a decent place to live only for some lover boy to siphon it all into his private accounts. There was no way he was letting that happen on his watch.
searching in the pockets of his jacket, he found what he was searching for, a flash disk. One terabyte, it contained an assortment of software and applications, most of which he had created himself. Mostly security applications but also a few computer hacking ones. The plan was to access lover boy's PC and copy his files for review later. He would also install a spyware application that would enable him monitor all his activities on the system remotely also.

It had been a while since he'd done this sort of thing. He had to work fast as there was no telling when Ezinne would get back.
