I said, and he stopped right dead in his tracks like I just pressed a pause in a remote control. And before I could say Jack, he was on his heel, he headed back to the direction of the class. While I smiled at his gesture before taking a step further, and just outside the school gate, my chauffeur was already waiting for me. I entered the Car and did greeted Nicko my driver, Hey Nicko! greeted, Hi Cal he retorted. You good? He asked yeah I replied as I settled on the front seat of the car while he set the car in motion, and filed out of the school premises. The ride home was cool and hitch free, there was no traffic. 💒💒At Home💒💒 I was just waking up from an hour nap, when I heard the doorbell, I had rushed to answer it, and just as I expected Paul was standing at the Door, I did give way for him to come in, and after the pleasantries, we set to the business of the day, which was to game. As the game became intense with no winner, I decided to strike a conversation with him. Where did you run off to at school today? Oh Jerk you did remember, I had prayed so hard for you not to, but would you mind a guess? Yea, you know I am not good at guesses, I replied to him. Ok I went to see Rita, you know she asked me to wait behind after the last bell, I had forgot totally if you hadn't said a word concerning her. He said smiling awkwardly, that kind of smile that had something hideous behind it. Is there something you ain't telling me? Uhmm. She gave me a kiss, he said. Whoa, does that mean you had been getting laid anytime soon. Fool!!!, Your mind is as corrupt as hell!!, he lashed out on me while the both of us erupted in laughter, by now our concentration was no longer on the game.

Hey dad, Paul, you still up? He asked Yes! Well that is an obvious fact that your mom isn't back, which was very correct, if mom was back is should have been sleeping by now, it was 9:33pm Dad took out his cell, while he was undoing the lace from his shoes, he made to call mom, but the line was dead, so we had to resolve to waiting for her return. An hour later saw us still waiting, and this got me panicking, but dad assured she would be back. I was scared never in the history of time has mom ever spent up this late, and to make matter was her cell was not going through, I was scared stiff, I paced up and down, while dad look out through the window blind, soon it started raining at a not too Intense pace. I looked at dad, he looked down to me from his towering height, and drawer me closer to feel his warmth. You momma is fine, and she's going to be back soon. This was the umpteenth time he was saying that, I wanted to go out in the rain, but dad hold me back. At 11:49pm a knock came to the door, I leapt up in joy but just as I did, my high spirits dropped back, it wasn't mom, I knew for sure, mom never knocks, she always uses the doorbell, dad went to answer the door, why u followed sheepishly from behind. And right at the door were two Police officers, they gave dad a pieces of paper, I could hear what they were saying, as they spoke in hushed tone, but I was able to pick a little word like Shot… gone when we arrived… A bullet… on… her… skull… we are very sorry…. With those heart sunken words, I ran straight to my room, and burst out in a loud sob! Mom is gone! Throughout the night dad tried his best to console me, while he shared a little drop of tears,. By morning, it was all over the papers and the news, it made head line, I saw one of the headlines delivered by the vendor reads: WIFE OF BILLIONAIRE MARCUS SHOT DEAD IN HER CAR WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE ALLEY IN THE GLADES!!!
