CLIFF

"I want the position of the CEO", Jabal declared as he looked intently at me.
What?
I was caught by surprise. Staring at him, all he did was smirk.

Jabal was actually back because he eyed my position. No wonder he came back out of the blue. But why?

We were in a board meeting discussing about some things before Jabal made his selfish desire known. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, all eyes were fixed on him with surprise.

"What do you mean?", Mom questioned as she glared at him.
Mom and Dad had just gotten back from England, they had their anniversary last week and they spent a whole week over there.

"You heard me clearly, I want the position of the CEO and I want Cliff to vacate the position for me", he glared at me while I looked at him stuck for words.

"Jabal you have only 2.5 shares and Cliff has 15", the director of Finance implored but Jabal didn't flinch but rather glared daggers at me.

Why did he get interested in the company suddenly?

"Which reminds me my dad transfered 10 percent of his shares to Cliff, my dad owns this company and I see no reason for you guys not wanting me", he said belligerently.

"Point of correction, this company is as a result of merger, your dad and I own this company", my dad corrected talking for the first time since the issue was brought up.

Jabal finally looked away from me and turned to dad.
"Then why is it only your side that's running the company", he challenged.

"Your dad was the President before he died and he clearly stated that he doesn't want you running the company which explains why he gave Cliff 10 percent of his shares", Dad explained as Jabal seethed with anger.

"If you desire a position maybe you should be given the director of account at least that position is good", Mr Jackson proposed, he was one of the shareholders with 4.5 shares.

"I support that", mom said but Jabal gave her a menancing look.

Jabal's mom raised her hand, finally she would talk since the meeting started, "I move...voting".

A crook smile appeared on Jabal's face, apparently they'd planned all this before coming to the meeting.
"I second the motion", he beamed.

"That will be discussed in the next meeting", dad concluded.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

"In case you care to know, I've been responsible for the calls you got lately", Jabal confessed as I looked at him in perplexity.

When did Jabal become this?
He had always been this sweet and crazy guy, what came over him?

"And I mean every word I said, I'm after you", he gave me a menancing look that I ignored.

"Why?"

He laughed out loudly for some minutes that made me wonder if he had gone crazy but he stopped and responded.

"Isn't it obvious? I hate the fact that my dad transfered his shares to you without giving me, his biological child anything, I want what is mine and that's the company, you guys should just fuck off and leave it to me", he roared.

Is he insane?

"And yeah, the revenge started earlier but you guys were clueless, the day you were to get married to Zuleha was the day we got married in Paris".

WHAT!
It can't be true.
Zuleha knew about this all along.
She'd cheated on me with my close friend.
They were married.

The elevator door snapped me out of my thoughts as Jabal walked out only to be welcomed by Zuleha who wore a huge grin. Noticing my presence, they hugged and kissed before smirking at me and then walked out of the company.

They were truly married.
They betrayed me.
They played me.

FUCK!

Turning around, I sighted Priss and that brightened my mood as I grinned. While walking up to her mom approached me.

Cliff had promised to come to the presentation but he didn't fulfill it. I was seeing Zina and her Co off when I spotted Cliff with someone I presumed to be his mom.

"Mom", Zina called and they turned back to look at us, the woman smiled at Zina.
Turns out she isn't Cliff's mom but Zina's.

Cliff smiled at me but I didn't return the smile.
"Good afternoon ma", I greeted Zina's mom, she looked at me and smiled, she was a beautiful woman but there was this striking resemblance between her and Cliff. Well, she was his aunt and they could look alike.

"Afternoon", she replied before turning to Zina whose Co had entered the elevator, they exchanged pleasantries and smiled before walking away.

"Hey", Cliff called but I fluttered my eyelashes and walked away, he smiled and walked up to me.

"Don't be mad at me, we had a board meeting which turned out to be a disaster", he grabbed my waist as I looked up at his smiling face, I smiled back.

"What disaster?", I asked in a cursory way.
"I'll gist you about it later, so how was it? I bet Zina loved it".

"Yeah", I smiled.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

"So gist me", I said amidst the chewing of the yam. Grandma had brought the yam from Nigeria when she returned to Islandia two days ago.
We were having the lunch of Yam and Egg and Cliff was eating the egg ravenously as if he'll never eat it again.

He looked up at me before explaining the 'disaster', it was really astonishing.

"So Jabal is back for your position and he is married to Zuleha, how desperate? I knew that girl was a conniving bitch", I commented as I felt sorry for Cliff, he was really piqued.

"I agree", he turned to the food, ready to take another egg, I stopped him with my words," So what will you do now?"

He shrugged.
"Dunno but if the board agrees on the voting then it will be a fierce competition", he responded nonchalantly as his hand went to the eggs again.

I gave him a puck in the shoulder as he feigned a look of hurt.
"You know I'm always here for you".

He nodded and smiled.

"Get your mind off everything that happened today and have a peaceful sleep ooo", Priss advised as I drove into her house.

Tenola had left with their car earlier and at such I had to drive Priss home. She was a good company as she made me forget all that had happened today.

"I'll try".
She faked a pout,"Don't try but do it okay", she took her right hand to her ear and pulled the ear as if she was talking to a child.

"Okay".
She leaned closer to peck me but I moved my head as it brushed my lips, she eyed me and turned but I pulled her back and captured her mouth in a kiss.

We kissed passionately until someone interrupted us.
"Get a room!", Kelly shouted as he poked his head into my seat.

Priss eyed him while I smiled as he baded me bye and walked into the house.

"So let's continue from where we stopped", I jeered.
"In your dreams, have a sweet night".
"And you too"

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I walked into the house in a good mood and was greeted with the numerous food and decorations on the dining table. Looking at the food in amazement, I wondered what was going on as Zina walked out in a green short gown.

"You're home", she grinned as Frank also walked out.
"Cliff, you're back".
I nodded as my eyes went back to the dining table.

"What's up?", I asked curiously as Frank and Zina exchanged glances before turning to me and a wide grin appeared on their face.

"We'll be having a child running around this house soon", Frank announced and my face widened.

"You mean?"
"I'm pregnant", Zina shouted in amusement as she jumped on me.

We settled down to eat as Zina kept chanting on how happy she was, she kept making plans for the baby as she argued with Frank on the baby's gender while I just ate and watched them in amusement.

I decided not to tell them about Jabal and Zuleha so far they were just too joyful and I wouldn't spoil that moment for them.

After dinner, I went to my room as Frank and Zina still had dessert while watching a movie.
I rang Priss and spoke with her for some minutes till she sang a lullaby for me and I drifted into a peaceful sleep.

Gehn gehn
Jabal and Zuleha are unbelievable.
Who saw it coming?
Anyway who is happy for Zina?
Vote, comment, share and follow.
Love y'all
