“Yes mum. My life is in Lagos now” Ella said to her mum
“Ethan please take care of my daughter and don’t think of hurting her”
“I will try my best ma’am” Ethan replied respectfully
“Gold take care of my daughter, she can be naughty sometimes” Their mum said and Ella rolled her eyes
“I will do just that mum” Gold assured her God mother which is the mother to Ella and Esther
“I’m gonna miss you sister and please come visiting sometime” Esther said as she pulled Ella to a hug .
“I will” Ella assured Gold then Esther moved towards Gold as well
“I’m going to miss you too Best” she sniffled and hugged her
“I’m gonna miss you too Esther” Gold answered with tears gathered min her eyes already
“I’m about to cry. Take care of yourself Gold” Caleb said as he hugged Gold.
“Caleb, please take care of my bestie as well and your sister”
“I will”
“Mike be a good boy OK?” Esther said and he giggled
“Sure thing and I’m even happier now that mummy and daddy are going to give me a sibling” Mike said then Fredrick and Gold stared at each other then he chuckled and Gold blushed slightly as the the event of last night played in her head.
“Snap out of it Gold” Her thought jolted her back to reality then she moved towards Queen and hugged her before they finally got into the private jet and it soon took off.
“I’m gonna miss this place” Gold muttered then rested her head on Fredrick’s shoulder. After few hours, they arrived Murtala Mohammed Airport and the first people that greeted them were tons of reporters.
“Mr Majesty please can you answer a few questions?
“Oh oh this is not good” Ethan muttered.
“Boss what do you want us to do?” Nicholas asked as they tried to clear the reporters off.
“Grant them audience” Fredrick replied and they reporters rushed towards him
“Mr Majesty are the allegations levelled against your uncle true?”
“Yes, they are very much true. My uncle kidnapped my baby momma, made her have a C-section without an anesthesia which lead to her death and gave my son out without my knowledge and I’m definitely going yo take legal actions against him. That will be all for now” Fredrick said and his bodyguards paved the way for them while the reporters still tried to ask more questions.
“Sir… one more question please”
“Sir… Sir?”
“This is stressful” Gold muttered.
“Don’t worry, you will get used to it” Fredrick said as he held her hands and they entered the car
DAMON POV
Damon turned the television off angrily as he paced round the room restlessly
“So he has finally arrived Lagos, but how did he get to know that Jolly was operated on without an anesthesia? Did Bright tell him? Maybe I should have killed him a long time ago” Damon soliloquies before Austin rushed to meet him
“Dad, the reporters are here, tons of them” Austin said to his father
“Don’t let them in” Damon instructed
“I’m gonna make Fredrick pay for this. I’m going to ruin him just like I ruined his father” Damon lamented bitterly
GOLD
It was really hard getting into the mansion because lots of reporters were also at the gate. It was indeed stressful getting inside but at the end of the day, they were able to successfully go in and all the maidservants and maleservants were around to welcome them including Amara.
I guess I really missed this place a lot” Gold said as they walked into the sitting room and Johnson the guard who was in charge of the house while they were away bowed slightly to greet Fredrick and of course the others joined suit
“Welcome bosses” Johnson greeted Fredrick ad Ethan
“Did you do what I asked you to do?” Fredrick asked because he actually asked him to prepare a room for Mike and stock it with clothes then also enroll him in one of the best schools
“Yes boss, I did” Johnson relied positively
“Daddy is this our house?” Mike asked awestriken.
“Yes Mike and I hope you like it?” Fredrick asked but Mike giggled happily and said
“Of Course I love it. It’s even bigger than the one we lived in previously” Mike said and Gold smiled softly when he said that.
“Wait till you see your room, It’s grand” Ethan said smiling.
“I have a room and a grand one at that” Ike giggled and ran upstairs.
“Wait up Mike” Gold called and followed him closely behind.
“He seems super excited” Gold said to Fredrick
“He has to be because from henceforth, he’s gonna live like a prince and then you’re my queen” Fredrick said and Gold blushed when he said that.
“This is your room” Fredrick sad to Mike when they arrived then Mike giggled and ran into the room as he jumped on his grand bed and sank into it dreamingly. He ran to his closet and opened his closet which contained his clothes, shoes, clothes etc.
“Are these mine?” Mike asked obviously not believing his eyes
“Yes Mike, Your daddy is a millionaire so that makes you the son of a millionaire and from henceforth you’re gonna live like a prince” Gold said to Mike
“Thanks daddy”
“After dinner, you have to go to bed early because you will be resuming school tomorrow”
“Really? I’m so happy” Mike giggled.
“And remember you have to make mummy and daddy proud by passing your exams with flying colours” Gold added then he noded in agreement
“He’s definitely going to come out first after all, he took his daddy’s brain” Fredrick said proudly and Mike smiled
“Yes mummy, daddy is right. I won lots of awards at my previous school because I was just too smart”
“Quite a boaster” Gold muttered.
“He got that from his dad” Ethan said.
“Apart from his looks, almost everything about him speaks of Fredrick” Gold said excitedly
“I totally agree” Ethan accepted with a nod as usual before leaving the room
“Are we there yet?” Gold asked with blindfolds on her eyes. It was 8pm and Fredrick said he had a surprise for her so wondered what it was all about.
He loosened the blindfold and smirked then In front of Gold was a 2020 black Formatic jeep.From NôvelDrama.Org.
“Wait a minute I’m dreaming right because he last time, I checked this car is worth over three million dollars” Gold muttered in shock and almost fainted when Fredrick said
“Here baby, It’s yours” He dangled the keys in the air and she screamed
“Tell me I’m dreaming” Gold said with tears rushing down her face
“You’re not dreaming Gold, You’re my queen and you deserve the best” Fredrick said then immediately she jumped on his torso and kissed him and he smiled softly and kissing her back
“I love you Fredrick. Oh my God If someone had told me that I would meet a man like you, I wouldn’t have believed it. I’m happy you came into my life because I wonder what my life would have been if you didn’t come into it” Gold said as she felt hot tears of joy fall out of her eyes but Fredrick wiped the tears off and smiled
“You are the best thing that ever happened to me Gold and you’re that woman whom I’ve been searching for all my life and now that I’ve found you, I intend to keep you and be with you for enternity” Fredrick said genuinely and affectionately
“Words cannot describe the love I feel because such words haven’t been formed yet. I love you so much Gold” Fredrick smiled softly and kissed her again then he broke the kiss and asked her a question
“Do you know how to drive?”
“Of course I do, Mom taught me how to drive and Caleb taught me how to race” Gold answered proudly
“You race?” Fredrick asked surprised.
“Yeah… Kinda of” Gold responded with a smirk
“Wow, that is nice” Fredrick complimented
“Yeah. It is”
“You should know that your admission has already been taken care of so you can start University tomorrow”
“Really?” Gold squealed happily.
“Same as Ella, I did process her admission as well because I didn’t want you to go to school alone. Turns out, she’s now my brother’s girlfriend and it’s official so you are both going to school together” Fredrick announced and Hold couldn’t help but sillently thank God
“Thank you so much Freddie” Gold sad with a smile then kissed his cheeks.
