CHAPTER 18

She followed up on Regina's movement. From the point she left her husband's- Sam's house till the point she got to her parent's house and then to Portharcourt. She got eyes on her.

She was the one who drafted Steve, the guy who posed as a receptionist at the hotel, that led to me been captured by my uncle's guys. I had felt that his face was familiar, just that I could not place at that point, where I had seen his face. He was the contractor. He was the one that brought Mrs. Dee in to meet the 'club' guys. He was the link. The middleman. So it was all planned along, for him to get a buyer, a planned buyer, who happened to be Princess's grandmom to be the one to have Princess.

I was in the dark about the whole thing. I was known, but I was left to myself to do what I was doing, even though I was been watched. They needed my greed to drive me to do what was needed to be done. It was sufficient motivation for what they would want from me.

The 'club' guys were kept in the dark as far as I knew. They did not know what was really going on. I wondered if they would have really cared if they knew what was on. I felt it would not be so much of an issue as far as they got the money needed. And that- money was the least of the issues on Mrs. Dee's mind. On the other hand, they might have an issue if they has known, especially since they always want to wield power and have control.

What then was the biggest issue in her mind? What then was her greatest agenda and motive? Getting her granddaughter back? Getting her son's marriage fixed? Relieving herself of the burden of guilt she had been feeling for siding with her controlling and manipulative husband when Sam's life was tossed back and forth? Or trying to redeem her motherhood role towards Sam? Whatever it was, it might not really matter, even though it could be more of more than one factor. Combination of factors? Yes. But she went to work and the result at the end of it all was Princess got united with her parents and they all returned home and the marriage was restored.

While still in prison, because my uncle ensured that I faced the law. He was always a stickler for what is right. The only mercy he showed was to see that my sentence was reduced to two years. I was left to face the consequence of my action.

But that was not all, I was kept in the dark regarding the whole background stuffs surrounding the incident throughout the time I was kept in prison. I was not even informed that Princess had been restored to her parents when she was. I was whisked away at the point when the 'staged' search for her was still on. And so, I missed the rest of the events and was left to the working of guilt in my heart.

The Good Book said, "Godly sorrow leads to repentance". Sorrow did its work. Guilt had its way. And in all, I felt so bad for what I had done and go depressed and came out of the depression and resolved to be a better person. But that was not all. The fact that I resolved to be a better person was not all. I got another benefit.

You want to know what it is? Should I tell you? I guess I should. Mrs. Dee secretly gave me some money afterwards- three million naira when I left the prison to start something with my life.

"A fresh start", she had said, and added, " You don't want anybody to know about this"

CHAPTER 17

When Sam began to have issues in his marriage with Regina, he did his best to be quiet about it to his family members, especially his parents. He would not talk about it. He was doing his best to avoid providing direct answers to questions asked about his marriage.

But his Mom got to know. Why? Motherly instinct, you might say. But more than that. She was the concerned half of his parents. She seemed to have a special liking for Sam but she had did her best to hide it. Her husband had put her to that. He would accus her for been the reason why he was obstinate. That it was this 'special' love that she had for her that had made her a weakling in properly disciplining Sam and so Sam had grown bold to disobey his orders.

Mrs. Dee didn't know what to do and how to do it. But she finally succumbed to her husband's many talks and got sided with him yet her deep love for her son was still there except that she learnt how not to show it. She didn't know better. She just didn't want her husband's theory to be true. She didn't want to be the one who would be held for spoiling her son.

It had become a common occurrence in Nigerian homes that Mothers get the highest blames for poorly trained children even though such accusations are not true, as a child's training is a joint responsibility of both parents and not just the mother.

As soon as she knew that her son's wife was becoming a thorn in his flesh and had gone to the point of running away with their daughter, she felt it was time for her to do something different. Something to prove the long hidden love she had for her son. The time to help him. The time to support him.

He was used to handling his problems alone. He was used to been alone. He even had his wedding planned alone just because his Dad had wanted him to suffer for not 'obeying' him and walking the path he had wanted him to.

She decided she was not going to let him bear this burden alone. She was not going to let his wife feel that Sam has no family to fight for him. She was going to handle the issue and get back his son's wife and daughter back to him, even though her top priority was getting back Princess.

She began her work and paid private investigators. Money was not her problem. Money has never been a problem to the Dees. For those who know them, money is spelt as Dee. She paid to follow up on her daughter in law and grand daughter.

CHAPTER 16

A Year After My Release

Its been a year after my release. A lot have happened and I have heard a lot. All these have helped me come to the full understanding of everything that happened.

And that I would share.

I discovered that the whole thing did not look as I had thought. Even though I was not aware of what really was going on and what was behind it all, I could not fail to take responsibility for the part I played. I was not informed my part, I was not told ahead of time, I was just not even thought in the beginning to be a part of the whole event but I came in. And it was risky but humans are known to be creatures of hope.

Hope is life. Without it, we would find no reason to live especially in moments when the going gets tough.

Samuel Dee is the name of Regina's husband. He was someone you would easily take as an ordinary man. But he wasn't. He only made himself ordinary.

He was the only son and the second child of Chief Dimka Sunday Dee, a billionaire business man who is all involved in politics. Chief Dee was a man who was so obsessed with having control. He wanted things to always go his way. He would think things out and spell out what is expected of others and they expect them to line up. This is quest to have everybody under his control was what brought a rift between him and his only son- Sam.

First of all, Sam was so not cut out for the life his Dad and Mom had planned out for him. They wanted him to study Medicine and Surgery outside the country, graduate, do further studies and then return back to the country to establish a well furnished hospital and medical center. After which, he would launch out into politics. His Dad never really started out politics early even though he was an addict to power. He rather spent most of his life accumulating wealth. 'You need money to buy power in Nigeria', he would always say.

And so, he wanted his son- Sam to be the politician he never really got early enough to be. He wanted to live his life through his son. Hr wanted to achieve his political dreams through him but Sam wanted a different life. A life of his choice. A life free from his Dad's control and this desire of his made his Dad got mad at him.

His Mom as was expected in most homes, was siding with his Dad. It was natural. A wife's first and highest loyalty is to her husband and not to her children. The children came later because of the union she has with her husband. And so, she stood with her husband though, she was trying to get to Sam through another means other than her husband's forceful approach.

This control game even got into the area of who Sam was to marry. They wanted him to marry a girl from an influential home and a marriage that would form or reenforce a business or political alliance. But Sam fell in love. And he would only marry for love. He fell in love with Regina, who was not from the kind of class of family that her parents would want for him to get a wife from.

"She would leave you. And you will see it. She is in for something. You would end up loosing. She doesn't not love you. She only loves what you have and can afford. The prestige. The money. The affiliation", his Dad had angrily said.

And true to his word, Regina left with their daughter Princess when she discovered that she was not milking from the wealth of the family since her husband had refused to have anything to do with his Dad since he had wanted to always control his life. If he allowed a kobo from his Dad, he would feel he had the right to come a d run his marriage and that would not happen. But the woman he had married- Regina was almost like her Dad- manipulative and given to lust for luxurious living.
