Mysterious Night Stand With A Pimp Turned Mogul by John Rice (read my book TXT) 📕

"I can't do anything about it. Come with me," he said and turned.

"And you want me to leave him?" Ida asked.

"He's my son afterall, leave him and come with me?"

"No, sir." Ida said obstinately.

He turned fully to her and said, "why are you disobeying me? I told you to come with me and you are refusing?"

"In life, we don't get all we want. See my refusal to follow you as one of things you wish to happen but didn't happen," Ida said.

Ben frowned, "are you being sarcastic."

"Make the little boy stop crying, please. He would soon have headache," all these while, Beau was still crying hard.

"If his mother is here, she can never allow her son to be crying this way. I know you are strict and all that but even to your own son? Let me tell you something, a son needs a mother and a father because there are some kind of love he can only get from the father and there are some kind of love his mother can only provide to him. I assure you that if his mother is here, she wouldn't watch her son crying this way." She said.

Ben walked over to his son and wanted to hold his hand but the little boy snatched his hand angrily away but continued crying still, "She will follow you to the PTA."

The little boy's crying reduced slowly and then glanced at Ida and then at his father, he was looking at his father as if asking if he really meant what he said or not.

"I mean it. She will follow you. Are you happy now?" He asked.

The little boy nods merrily and said softly keyboard I," thank you." thank you."

carried the little boy the seat before the stand that he was sitting and cleaned his tears," sorry you had to cry. Your dad loves you, he was just trying to be very careful of the media. You know, the media can cook up all sort of false stories when they see a stranger with you," she said.

Eventhough the little boy didn't fully grasp what Ida said, he still nods. What's most important to him is that Ida is following him to the party tomorrow.

Ben sighed, he wondered why his son feels so comfortable around Ida. His son would rather spend time with Ida than him.

"So will you come with me now?"He asked Ida.

"Can Beau come with us?" Ida asked. She wasn't ready to drop the little one from her arms.

Ben rubbed his nose in frustration and said, "okay."

Soon, the two adults and the little one were seated comfortably in the living room, "Is Janie your biological sister?"

"Yes, she is," immediately Ida said these words, the door broke open as if a thief barged inside the house.

"You daughter of a ..." The woman who barged in swallowed, "you bitch! You recalcitrant child, where is the money I told you to get? Did you want Mr. Edmund to sell all we have? Don't you care about us at all? Remember I worked hard to send you to school and feed you when you were young. Yet now, you have turned your back against me and proven to be useless,"Geneva shouted.

Ben sat calmly and wondered whom this woman is. Though with the way she speaks, she sounds like Ida's mother.

When Geneva sighted a child with her, she frowned and said, "what is my grandson doing on your leg?"

"Grandson? " Ida repeated and looked at Ben.

Geneva looked at Ben and said, "hey you! Did you kidnap my grandson here?"

Ben thought that Geneva had ran mad and wanted to call the securities to throw her out but Ida signalled for him to stop, "she's my mother."

Ben didn't want to disrespect her mother so he kept mute.

"This is Beau, Mr. Ben's son not your grandson, hope you are not mistaken, mother?" Ida asked and then placed Beau down and said, " please go to your dad until I'm done?"

Beau was scared of Geneva and quickly ran to his father who carried him and placed him on his lap.

When Geneva saw the boy walking, she realized that she had misjudged the little boy. Her grandson also looked identical to this little boy. Such a weird resemblance, Geneva thought to herself.

Geneve could not stop looking at the little boy that she almost forget her purpose of being here.

"Mother, where did you expect me to get half a million dollar in three days?" Ida asked, trying to make her mother stop looking at Beau who was clearly scared of her.

Only then did Geneva turned to her and gritted her teeth angrily," you ungrateful child. How much have you gathered?"

"Mother, I don't have the money," Ida said. Even if she has the money, she would not give Geneva cause why would she accept such a ridiculous money in the first place and even spent half of it.

Geneva looked around the room and immediately ran to the kitchen, she came back with a knife and then sat on the floor then she placed the knife on her neck," if you can watch your mother die, then don't pay." She pressed the knife on her neck making Ida's eyes sparkle.

As much as her mother hates her, she was still her mother and she would never watch her die, she ran to her and held her hand, trying hard to stop her from hurting herself.

"Let it be said in history that your mother died in your house cause you refuse to bail her out of a debt she took on your behalf," the woman threatened and was seriously ready to hurt herself.

Ben sat calmly, unbothered about the drama between the mother and daughter, when Ben who had been resting his head in his shoulder wanted to behold the sight, he covered his child's face and whispered to him, "don't look at them."
