No wonder we rarely find young billionaires in business world today. And even the few, only 1% struggle with their last drop to get there, Whiles rest are properties inherited. Smh.... Raymond did that all becos of a lady? Cant even tolerates cole's mistakes for a longer period. |

CHAPTER 4 Raymond was seated in the company of his three best friends, Davies, Majid and Sam. Davies is the eldest of the quartet at thirty two he is married with a son to call his own. A young politician who is aspiring for a seat in the House of Representative, the eldest son of Chief Remi Davies, a former vice president in Nigeria. Davies is naturally gifted to be a leader, a public speaker, an activist and above all a councellor. At a tender age of sixteen he was made the senior prefect in his secondary school, and by the time he graduated and was waiting for admission he had written different motivational books. By the time he got into his third year in the university he was elected by the student union as the president and his fellow student enjoyed his tenure as the president. Even though it was his dream to become a Lawyer or an activist, his father stood his way and convinced him into studying political science while his younger sister has made a name in law. Majid on his part is a young businessman just like Raymond. He started doing business from a very tender age. Striking deals with his siblings, they'll have his meat in turns and he'll take their pocket money. Majid knew every way which he could use to generate money. The only difference between him and a businessman from the eastern part of Nigeria is their language. He is engaged to a young model. Sam who was widely regarded to as bigsam or Sammy is a music producer and a rapper. Just like Nigerian-born American rapper Wale of Maybach music. Sammy plies his trade in the united state and does less music in his fatherland. Even though he had been a stepping stone to most other Nigerian musician who came into international limelight through bigsam. Sammy is rich and everyone knows that but his love for women has been a major setback in his bank account. In the last three years, Sammy has proposed to four women with expensive gold/diamond rings and after a few months of engagement, they all break up on terms of inreconciliable differences. He is currently going out with a popular American actress and their relationship seems promising. "Raypower, are you still afraid to talk to these cheap Nigerian girls?" Sam asked Raymond. Davies and Majid both bursted into laughter out of mockery. "Enough of that boys. I just got a gold fish." Raymond said suprising everyone of them. "Tell me more." Majid said. Raymond explained everything about Tina, how they met, how things sprang up, how he asked her out. "You want to marry a girl that ought to be one of your numerous side chics?" Sam asked. "No way am I attending your wedding. That poor thing?" Majid added. Raymond tried to talk his friends out of labelling his girlfriend with bad names but the two bad eggs of the quartet, Majid and Sam seemed to be enjoying themselves at the expense of Raymond's feelings. "Raymoney, all I have to tell you is to be watchful. Marrying a rich and classy lady and marrying a poor and classless lady isn't the most important thing. But marrying a lady with whom your happiness is guaranteed. I can't tell you what to do because I believe you know what is good for you. All that remains now is blessing from your parent." Davies adviced like the elder brother he was to his friends. "Come off it jor." Majid said. "Marriage is not like politics o. You know nothing about love." Sam said. After a series of arguments and jokes Davies announces his departure. "Boys, am leaving. My wife must be waiting." He said picking up his car keys. "My regards to Samantha and Junior." Raymond who was also known as Raymoney or Raypower said. "I don't know his problem. His wife doesn't give him chance to enjoy himself. I swear I don't see him winning the upcoming election." Sam said angrily a few minutes after Davies left. "That shows how responsible he is. Mind you he is married." Raymond said. "Meaning? We are irresponsible." Majid said. "Did you hear me say that? Am leaving guys." Raymond said picking up his bunch of keys too. "Mind you we are responsible too." Majid said picking his keys as Sam followed him. Everyone of them laughing as they exited the guesthouse. --to be continued-- This update may be boring but its a way to know the characters better. |

--continuation-- Tina was seated in the very spacious and large sitting room of the Douglas. She was feeling anxious and nervous at the same time, because she just found herself in a situation she had no idea of. Raymond has finally decided to bring her home to meet his immediate family and Tina was happy at first but now she wished some powers could just take her off from the couch and drop her in her room. Raymond had gone inside in search of his mother whom Tina had no idea of what she looked like except for her pictures in magazines and television but seeing her physically. This is the first time. Tina has visited the Douglas estate many times in the past but her was always limited to Raymond's house. She has spent weekends with Raymond many times and Raymond had visited her family countless times. Just when she started having doubt about Raymond taking her to the alter he told her on thier way back from work that she'll be meeting his mum that day. Ever since she started going out with the young billionaire, Tina's living condition has changed tremendously while her mother has started living comfortably in an apartment rented for her by Raymond, her siblings, Gloria and Francis who had made it point of duty to come home almost every weekend for their feeding allowance only comes home when they are on break to spend time with their mother. Mrs Douglas cleared her troath on entering the living room thereby bringing Tina back from her reverie. "Good evening ma." Tina said going down on her knees. Mrs Douglas smiled as she walked up to her and pulled her up to an embrace. "Good evening my daughter. How are you? How is mummy and daddy at home?" Mrs Douglas asked. "We are all fine ma." Tina replied kneeling down once again. "Come sit here with me." Mrs Douglas said patting the empty seat beside her. Tina sat down beside her mother in law to be and they started chatting. "So you said your dad is dead right?" "Yes ma." "May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace." Bianca Douglas prayed. "Amen." "So your mum is the minister for what? Or is she an ambassador?" Mrs Bianca Douglas asked throwing Tina off balance even Raymond felt the worms in his stomach make some noise. "My mum is neither of the two. She is a trader." Tina replied. "Thats good." Mrs Douglas said smiling. Tina heaved a sigh of relieve. "Raymond can I see you for a minute?" She said as she walked back in the direction in which she had emerged into the sitting room few minutes ago. Raymond took permission from Tina as he followed his mum. Ten minutes later the front door opened and a young lady of about twenty-two years old walked in. Everything about the lady smelt money. Tina sized her up with her eyes and her rough estimation valued everything on her at over ten million naira. "Good evening." The lady greeted Tina showing a bit of respect. "Good evening." Tina replied. "My name is Atinuke, Raymond's sister and you must be....." "Tina." "His girlfriend?" Atinuke asked. "Yeah." Tina smiled shyly. Atinuke sat down with Tina as the two ladies began talking like long lost sisters. --to be continued-- |
