CHAPTER EIGHT

As soon as Vanessa stepped into the living room,her children ran to welcome her.
"Mummy,you did not buy ice-cream and pop corn for me"Collins Lamented.
"I forgot my dear,Today was more than hectic"Vanessa defended.
"Its not new,this is always your anthem"Hyacinth said teasingly.
"Tomorrow is saturday,i promise to take you all to Bulliard Chickens"Vanessa said and asked them to take her bags upstairs.

Vanessa looked up the balcony bar above her head only to see Tony standing there drinking wine from his favourite cup.
"Vanessa why do you always defy my order"He asked coming down the stairs.
"I dont understand"Vanessa pretended.
"Where did you went today"
"Tony what kind of question is that?are you now stalking me?"
"Vanessa i dont mind beating the living day light out of you if you dont tell me where you went to"Tony came closer to her,his face revealed cruelty.
"Try it and get ready to run your business in jail forever"
Tony raised his hand to slap her but his hand stopped mid air.

"Why did you stop?Tony hit me and kiss the grave"Vanessa screamed and slapped Tony harder"You cant stop me from pursuing justice,i will sue you all to court.I am filing a divorce this time around and for sure get ready to part with fortune from your ill gotten wealth"Vanessa added and made to go upstairs leaving Tony in shock.She turned suddenly"Jerry case will be heard next week tuesday-4th of september,Tony you are invited to watch your cohort fall"She added and laughed mischievously running up the stairs.
Tony picked his car key and ran out of the house.He drove towards The Don house.
He ran in immediately and met The Don almost leaving the compound.He flagged him down and told him.
"Jerry time is up Tony,Great ZAZU the god of wealth demands his soul now,i will make sure he does not go to jail but his blood will be drunk by ZAZU our god of wealth"The Don said.
Tony was shocked when he heard it.
"You mean Jerry will be killed by ZAZU?"
"Yes,as for your wife,we will soon send her a message"The Don said.

****************
FEDERAL HIGH COURT,IKEJA.
"Court rise"The court register said as everybody rose up to welcome the judge.
One hour later,the judge was still not yet present.

The audience were already getting impatient,soon another Judge took his place.Vanessa was angry at the turn out of events.She knew Jerry aides were at work,this was manipulated.
Anyway she tried her best and presented all her claims.
The defence counsel was a devil himself,he discomfited all Vanessa points and made a stale of it with a go ahead from Presiding Judge.
Finally the judge passed his judgement.Jerry was acquitted and discharged on the ground of Mental insanity but he was asked to pay Rose fifteen million naira for damages.Vanessa was happy when she heard Jerry will not operate a church anywhere in Nigeria.
"Court rise"The clerk screamed and everyone rose up as the judge left the court room.
Rose ran to hug Vanessa in tears.


"Vanessa get ready for the worst"A man on black glasses told her while leaving the court premise.

ONE WEEK LATER

"Jerry is dead"Tony told his wife.
"What killed the beast"Vanessa asked unmoved and continue writing.
"I really dont know"Tony lied.
Jerry time was over so Zazu the god of wealth took his soul.Once one becomes a member of Elites club,he automatically hands over his soul to the devil in exchnge for wealth and fame.Then Zazu their god of wealth will request for his soul at the end of the road.Anyone in this society have their conscience seared with hot iron that they dont care if people are in pain as far as they get their wealth from people's pain.
You might be wondering why politicians do not have human sympathy,This is the reason.Tony exhaled`what if Zazu request for his soul now'
"Tony how is Chief Ikezie,its being a while i heard from him"Vanessa asked.
"He is not in town for now"Tony said and glanced at his watch.Where is this people,he wondered.Tonight was the night the Elites have planned to kill Vanessa.He was waiting for the assassins,though he was not happy that he was to kill her.

It was not his fault because he pleaded and warned Vanessa to drop the case against Jerry,now the consequence is now protruding.He had pleaded with them to let his wife be but the Club members refused,they even threatened to kill him if he does not play along with them,so he resigned to fate.

"Mummy your phone is ringing"Hyacinth called running to Vanessa with the phone.Vanessa glanced at the phone to see the caller"ROSE".She picked the receiver.
"Hello Rosy how are you.... What!!i should leave my house now?But who will be planning to kill me?Oh that man with dark glasses we saw at the court....I thought it was an empty threat.Okay thank you,am leaving immediately"She hung up.She packed up her books and ran upstairs while bewildered Tony looked on.Why did Rose spoilt this plan?.
Vanessa returned few minutes with a travelling box,Her three kids were behind her all dressed up.
"Tony wont you come with us.You heard all Rose said"Vanessa said.
"So where do you think you are heading too"
"Tony anywhere"

"Vanessa at least tell me where you are heading so i can come"Tony said.
"Tony i will let you know when i touched safety anywhere.Please come with us now because if they dont see me,they might kill you"Vanessa pleaded.

The door opened immediately and seven men with guns barged in.
"Oh you are running away right?"One of the masked men laughed mischievously.
They pushed Vanessa to the floor and kicked her.They pounced on her for some minutes and gave the gun to Tony who was just watching the scene in silence,he was silently bleeding at heart.
"Tony shoot your wife"One of the men ordered.
Larry,Hyacinth and Collins were lying on the floor shaking in fear
Tony wiped the tears in his eyes.he was caught in-between the devil and the deep blue sea.He cocked the gun and pointed at Vanessa.
"Tony please dont kill me"Vanessa was crying and begging.
"I am sorry Vanessa,i love you.Find a place in your heart to forgive me in the land beyond"Tony said crying.
"Daddy dont kill mum please"The kids pleaded.

"Shut up bastards,who is talking to you"The men hoarsed rashly and kicked each of them recklessly as they winced in pain.
"Tony,Collins is four,he is too little,please let me live"Vanessa pleaded.
Tony sobbed and pointed the gun,the men were laughing mischievously now.Then the door opened as seven hugh police men came in with guns.
"Criminals surrender your weapons because the house have been surrounded"The inspector among them ordered.The seven criminals dropped their guns and were handcuffed immediately and taken away.Tony too was taken too.

Vanessa got up and cleaned her tears.She hugged all her children who were crying now.
"So dad is among them,so dad is evil"Larry lamented.
"Yes he is"A voice answered,it was Rose.
Vanessa ran to hug her.
"Thank you for saving my life"Vanessa said.
"I owe you this so no thanks.Afterall what are we friends for?"Rose said.
"How do you know they want to kill me?"Vanessa asked.
"I was at McHill Fast food with fiance,i met Tony discussing it.I eavesdropped him"Rose said.

"But what made you eavedropped him"
"They were talking in hushed tones,i excused my fiance and went to sit behind them,they did not even noticed my presence.I was shocked about how evil Tony is"Rose said and sat on one of the cushion.
"I told you that since Tony started making money,he changed from the caring man he used to be.I suspected all was not right but i just dont want to drive to a conclusion"Vanessa said with fresh tears on her face.

Her children sat on the staircase crying.Vanessa picked Collins and patted him.

"What kind of life is this?"Vanessa lamented.

"Its alright Nessa"

"It is not.I wonder why Tony will be planning to kill me"

"I sense he have a connection with Jerry bcause i saw that dark guy with Tony"

"I now recognize that guy.He is Chief Ikezie errand boy.This is quite a riddle we have to solve."Vanessa said.

"I know you must unravel it and bring them to book"

"I am sensing Tony is connected with Jerry and Chief Ikezie of Bloomsfield Hotels"

"I will fish them out"Vanessa spat.

****************
The next day,Vanessa went to see Rose new fiancé,Inspector Frank who was in charge of Tony case.
She wanted to fill in for a bail for Her husband.She had decided to withdraw the case against Tony and his accomplice,she was on the other hand,making necessary preparation for a divorce because their children now loathe their father.
Inspector Frank refused to release Tony on bail while his accomplice remains in bar,he explained that it was against his official formalities.

"You cant release Tony because he is your husband and send his cohorts to jail.This is gross partiality which i for one dont recognize you with"Inspector Frank said.


"Frank i know..I was the victim and i have decided to drop the case against Tony,i cant watch him go to jail,his accomplicecan go ahead and look for their bailer"Vanessa said.


"I know this is your field but this is my job"


"Frank you are not powerful enough to detain Tony.He is an elite and you know what his friends can do to you"

"I dont care"he spat.

Vanessa quietly let Frank have his way.She started preparing for the court hearing.

One evening,Rose called to tell her that the I.G of police have phoned and ordered the release of Tony and his accomplice.

"I know it will happen this way.If the judge can be changed on the day of your hearing,what else cannot be done.Tony is very powerful and influential but what i dont get is why he wants me dead"vanessa said on the phone.

"It is not his fault,he is just being coerced to do it.Tony looks like one that is being remote controlled"

"Rose you seem to know much than i do"

"Frank told me that He had heard Tony makes calls mentioning prominent men one calls and sometimes will say he was pushed into this"

"I am scared of Tony status in the society.If i divorce him,i will just move over to London and start a new life there"

"I am sorry that all this is happening to you Nessa"Rose said.

"We once lived happily when he was nothing but things changed when he made money"

"Men are unstable in all their ways"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Vanessa finally filed a divorce against Tony.
The case was treated in the customary court at Alausa.
The Presiding Judge was an impartial one,though The defence counsel tried all he did to annul the divorce Vanessa proposed but Vanessa was a good lawyer who stood her ground.She boldly told the court that keeping her in the marriage will cause her untimely death.
The judge came in finally and shared Tony Wealth into equal halves.Vanessa have made reserch about Tony Net worth which amounted to about Six hundred million Naira.She smiled when the judge said Tony wealth will be splitted into equal halves on the ground of attempted murder which he[Tony]should be grateful Vanessa closed the Murder case.
Tony left the court in a sullen countenance,some of his elites friends were present in the hearing.
They watched Tony surrender 40% of his properties which included His School,Twenty chains of filling station,Toniad Construction Company and Tony Castle which is the biggest of Tony Houses.

CHAPTER NINE

Vanessa quickly auctioned Tony schools that was given to her,she planned to start up her Law firm in,England since it was her alma mata.
She was not happy she divorced him because she felt she was a failure.Her father who was a multi millionaire lawyer had strongly opposed her marriage with Tony with the claim Tony was a betrayer.She was proving him wrong until Tony made his ill gotten wealth which truly he betrayed her.


To Vanessa Tony betrayed her more but if she know that the Wealth Tony made was because he betrayed his parents by sacrificing them for Wealth.

Vanessa employed skilled Managerial boards to manage the whole properties given to her while she travelled to England to start life afresh.
Her Elder and Only Brother Jude Echezona resides at UAE called her immediately he got wind of the story on the internet.
She could not deny it but never wanted her elder brother know,yet he knew now.
"Nessa i warned you not to marry that bastard.i will come see you"He said on the phone
Re: Devil And The Deep Blue Sea by Nobody: 4:23pm On May 24, 2020
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Tony took to drinking immediately Vanessa left his life.The money he have now was useless without His once lovely family.

He visited Chief Ikeie the next day with a gun.he met chief Ikezie drinking with six elites members.

"Ikezie why did you not inform me that my life will be shattered if i enter the club"Tony sobbed.

"But i did not force you.If you think your life is shattered because your wife divorced you then remarry.There are many ladies who will embrace you now.Great Zazu will replenish your wealth once you offer another sacrifice"Ikezie said absent mindedly.The remaining elites members present were I.G of Police,NNPC GMD,Chief Nelson,the leader of UNITED POLITICAL PARTY and others.
Tony quickly remembered Chief Ikezie had just won his election as a senator so the elites were present to celebrate and cheer him up.
"Wont you join us and celebrate my success"Ikezie asked.

Tony brought out the gun and shot him on the head.Ikezie died instantly while the rest guests ran away.

The police escorts of Ikezie intervened and collected the weapon from him.He was arrested and detained.
***************
"Vanessa,you shoudnt have left him now that he needed you"Rose said immediately she sat on the cushion in Vanessa house.This was the biggest house of Tony.

"We know he is under pressure from an unseen force but we need to rescue him"Rose continued.

"I am tired of the marriage.A marriage without sex is not a marriage.For four years Tony have not touched me"Vanessa said.


"The deed is done and i am not asking you to go back to the marriage.I just came to tell you that Tony killed Chief Ikezie"Rose said.


"What!!why did he did that"Vanessa was shocked.

"So you did not see it on T.V.The news is viral that Tony went to Ikezie house and shot him on the head.Chief Ikezie was in a celebration mood because he just won the senatorial seat of Imo west Constituency"Rose said.


Vanessa cleaned the tears that formed in her eyes.Tony was depressed and shattered that he had to kill somebody.

Two days later she visited him at the police station he was being detained.The police men interrogated her before she was allowed to see him.
"Tony why did you shoot someone"Vanessa asked as soon as Tony came in view guarded by a police man heavily armed.
"I did not kill someone,i killed an animal who did not deserve to live.One who shattered my joy"Tony said without any remorse.
"Chief Ikezie was your friend,he made you who you are today"
"Yes he brought me into all these mess my life is passing through"
"Tony honestly i dont understajd you"Vanessa replied.She was shocked when Tony brought out a pack of cigarette and litted one stick and puffed at it professionally.
"Tony you now smoke?"Vanessa said dissappointedly wishing she had not divorced him.Perhaps he was suffering as an aftermath of the divorce,but she knew divorcing Tony was one of the best alternative she had.She does not worth to live with a man who almost took her life.
She covered her nose irritatedly as Tony puffed at his cigarette.

"You just killed a senator and you are aware this is a national case"Vanessa said as she paced around the room disturbed.
Yes she was a reputable lawyer but she doubted if she got this one.
Tony friends were her enemies and beside Chief Ikezie was someone whose name endeared respect in the country and beyond.He was also a government official and a senator.

"Vanessa i musn't go to jail,i only took my pound of flesh.Ikezie ruined my life"

"But how did he ruined your life"Vanessa asked inquisitively and sat opposite him.

"I cant explain that to you"Tony snapped.he just couldnt tell her about the club,it was a secret.So should he tell her that he sacrificed his parent for money?and should he tell her his parent ghost now haunts him?no he wont.


"No mummy and daddy.Dont kill me please.I did not do it intentionally"Tony got up immediately as he said to the air.

"Do what Tony"Vanessa inquired and surveyed the room.No one was here with them.She heard Tony called his deceased parent name.

She exhaled tiredly.

"Tony i cant see your parents here with us.They died some years back"Vanessa asked still looking around furtively.

"Nessa they are here"Tony said pointing to the empty wall.

"Tony you are insane"Vanessa screamed angrily.

"I am not.My parents were here"Tony said close to tears.

"Then what were they telling you?"

"Never mind Nessa....They are here again...Mummy it wasnt intentional.Ikezie did not explained things better to me before i joined the club"Tony screamed terrified still looking at the wall.
A policeman ran in.Maybe he heard Tony shrill..

"What is it ma.Why is he screaming"The police man queried.

"I am still yet to confirm"Vanessa replied as she felt his pulse.

"He have been doing this since we brought him here a week ago from Panti Station.They complained of such.
Is he mentally balanced"The policeman asked.

"My ex husband and client is sane but i prefer we invite a psychiatrist"Vanessa said in pity.She turned to see Tony who was lost in his own world pleading to the invisible.
