Episode 37
By: Faith Lucky.
Jackson’s Pov:
“She’s my daughter” his words resounded in my head.
I scoffed and looked at him. No; I probably didn’t hear him correctly.
Of course.
I looked at Bethel and she was holding her tummy, her eyes filled with the expected shock.
Then, I took my eyes back to dad.
“What’re you talking about?” I asked, my voice coming out faintly.
He looked at the floor and clapped his hands and immediately, two boys came into the room.
“Take her back to her room” he told them and they went for Bethel on the bed.
“No!” She muttered as she stood on her feet with the boys holding her by both hands.
“What’re you talking about?” She asked weakly, looking at dad.
Dad signalled at the boys and they took her out of the room. Then, I was left with just him.
I looked at him and didn’t say a word, expecting him to start talking immediately.
“Sit down, Jackson” he said.
“Don’t even tell me that” I blurted.
“I need you to…”
“I need an explanation!” I cut him off raucously.
“Or was that just a lie?”
“I’d never lie about that” he replied and I scoffed.
The confusion was becoming too much.
“So…what’re you tryna say?” I asked.
“How’s Bethel your daughter? I mean…what am I to you?”
He sighed and sat on the edge of the bed.
“Your mother’s dead, Jackson – like I’ve always told you. She’d given birth to you right before I met Bethel’s mum and got married to her.
Your mother was still alive, then. She was just my mistress.
“But, when Bethel’s mum discovered my extra marital affair, she got mad over it. At that time, Bethel was still an infant.
“She asked me to abandon you and your mother; swear I’d never have anything to do with both of you. But, I couldn’t. And when I refused, she filed for a divorce. She pushed me away.
“I pleaded with her, but she wouldn’t listen. I invested so much in that company but she looked for a cunny way to make the court give her full possession of it. She took everything from me – including my daughter.
“I returned to you and your mother, but few months later, your mother died and you became my responsibility. I left the state with you but promised myself I’d return and take back what Matilda took away from me.
I promised to return for vengeance. And that’s what all these is about” he looked into my face as he concluded.
For a moment, I was mute, trying to digest the whole time.
I could feel my lungs drying up as it sounded like a joke to me.
“Hold on…” I blinked hard and rapidly.
“Are you trying to say..Bethel and I are siblings?”
“Yes – step siblings”.he replied.
I huffed and tottered backwards, shaking my head
“No; you’re lying” I said forlornly.
“I’m not lying, Jackson. It’s the truth”.
I turned around and backed him, running my fingers into my hair.
“You sent me to date my own sister?” I turned back at him and asked.
“So, we could achieve our plans”.
“D@mn it, dad! I almost had s*x with her. I almost r@ped her!!” I yelled in anger.
“And that’s the reason I’d given you specific instructions not to have s*xual intercourse with her during the time you were dating” he stood on his feet and said.
“Fk it! It doesn’t make any sense! How did you expect me to keep to such lame rule? I had almost rapped her during that period! You pushed me into an incestuous relationship with my only sister!”
“That was part of the sacrifice, Jackson! It was necessary”.
“It was necessary? So, abducting your own daughter and using her as an hostage just to get back at your ex-wife is necessary? What kind of a father are you?”
“The kind that’s ready to do anything for his son!”
“Oh, please! Don’t put this on me. You’re not doing this for me. You didn’t even care about my feelings.
All that mattered to you was revenge? Do you realize what you made me do to her? I hated her and laid my hands on her. You almost ruined me!”
“If only you had followed my instructions, you wouldn’t be regretting right now”.
“You made…”
“Stop arguing with me, Jackson!” He cut in raucously and I went mute.
“I’m your father and I know what’s best for you!”
I fisted my hands and headed for the door.
“Now I get why you didn’t tell me about it.” I stopped to look at him.
“You hid the truth from me because you knew I’d never want to hurt my own sister”.
“Because I didn’t want you to be weak!” He replied strictly.
I shook my head and faced the door.
“No matter what, a father would never risk his daughter’s life for anything.
You’re not being a father; you’re just being a selfish man with two kids” I said without looking at him and walk out.

Shirley’s Pov:
“Wow! So, who kidnapped her?” I asked over the phone as I walked out of the grocery store with my bags.
“Well, I heard its her ex – a guy named Jackson” Phoebe – a close fried of mine – replied over the phone.
“Hmph. That’s quite pathetic. Anyway, its none of my business. I wish she doesn’t survive it” I rolled my eyes and she laughed.
“Stop being naughty, Shirley. Oops! I have to go. I’ll call you later” she said hastily and ended the call.
I sighed and continued walking to my car.
Well, I just pray Bethel dies where ever she is; because if she comes out of it alive, she’ll definitely die of heartbreak after I tell her the truth about my baby.
Yes, I’ve had enough hide and seek already. It’s time to take what’s mine.
I got to my car and opened the boot so I could drop the grocery bags I was holding.
I kept the bags and was about closing the boot when I heard someone call my name from behind.
“Shirley?”
I turned to have a look and flinched at the biggest shock of my life.
My phone fell from my hand immediately.
Oh my God!
No!!!

Ryan’s Pov:
“What do you mean you still can’t find her? How long will it take you?” I asked tiredly as I stood in front of the policemen.
“We’re sorry, sir. But it’s really difficult finding a trial. We beg you to give us more time” the chief replied.
“And I don’t have any more time!” I gripped him by his collars.
The rest of them looked in shock.
“Sir!” One called and I let go of him at once.
“Maybe I need to do it myself after all” I said angrily and walked away.
“Sir!
“Sir!”
My guards called after me as I walked out of the station.
I ignored them as I got to my car and collected the keys from my driver.
“Don’t follow me” I snarled at then and got into the car, taking off immediately.

Lucas’ Pov:
“Don’t play with my feelings, Matilda. Sign the ownership of the company to me”. I said to the bch on the phone.
“Has your cowardice gotten to this level, Lucas?” She asked, making me fume.
“You left me all these years and suddenly returned, wanting to claim everything I’ve worked hard for”. She added.
“Really? I left you?” I scoffed.
“If I can remember correctly, Matilda, you were the one who filed a divorce against me.”
“And you were the one who lied to me and cheated on me!” She snapped.
“What? Were you expecting me to just embrace the fact that you had a family outside our marriage? Did you take me for a fool or what?”
I exhaled deeply and didn’t say a word.
“Its all your fault, Lucas. You pushed me into it. I didn’t have a choice”.she nagged.
“I give you thirty minutes to send the signed documents to me” I said gently.
“And if I don’t? Will you kill your own daughter? Have you become so cold hearted?” She asked and I chuckled.
“You wouldn’t want to wait to find out” I replied and ended the call.
“Marcus” I called on the boy behind me.
“Sir!” He answered and leapt forward.
“In the next thirty minutes, if there’s no feedback, I want you to cut off Bethel’s right hand and have it sent to her mother” I said while looking through the window.
“Yes, sir” he bowed.

Jackson’s Pov:
I stood outside the door and listened to the entire conversation.
I shook my head in amusement. Is this man for real???
