James and Wilson were very happy to have met Cynthia, Cynthia welcomed them to her humble house they went inside the house, and Cynthia prepared tea for them.
"We need to be cautious I don't want anyone to know that u are the owner of the billionaire construction company," James said.
"Why don't you want people to know that you are rich," Wilson asked.
"For security reasons and also if my wife Easter know that I am super rich she will give me before my time to inherit the company and definitely the company will run into losses and it will never exist again in the market," James said.
"You also know that I have a terminal disease very soon I will not have the heir apparent to my most prestigious construction company," James said.
"Before we inform Henry about the whole issue we need to know if he is an upright son who can run a billionaire construction company," James said.
"Today it's time to do the introduction I understand he is working in the tea factory I need to know his conduct before anything else," James said.
Cynthia interrupted the conversation by bringing tea to the table and served.
"Welcome to my humble home," she said.
"Thanks so much for your welcome" Wilson replied.
"It seems you have a white color job where do you work," Cynthia asked.
"I work at the construction company but I am yet to retire I will be jobless soon," James said.
"Okay I understand I didn't get a stable job I depend on waged labor it's a struggle," Cynthia said.
"Don't worry it will be well how is Silvia, my love?" James asked.
"She is fine they are working with her son in the tea factory they are struggling to make ends meet just like me" Cynthia responded.
James kept quiet for a while Cynthia realized.
"I hope my son is fine Henry is my only son," James said.
"You mean Henry is your son?" Cynthia asked.
"I know he is your biological son but how about you don't you have your children with the wife you married?" Cynthia asked.
"My wife is barren I don't have any child I only have Henry as my son despite that I didn't participate in his upbringing but it was not my fault it was Silvia's," James said.
They took a cup of tea as Cynthia was surprised by what James told him.
"Would you take us to Silvia's house?" James asked.
"Yes I am going to take you there they are working in the same factory with her son Henry," Cynthia said.
They were done taking tea they walked outside the house to wait for Cynthia to prepare she was done she came and boarded the vehicle and went to the factory to visit Cynthia.
Reaching the factory they went to the staff quarters to Silvia's house she was outside resting under the shade she saw a brand new car approaching she stood James looked at her he was very exhilarated the driver parked the car and they all alighted Silvia saw James she was very shocked.
"You mean you are still alive thank God," Silvia said.
"Yes my dear despite all the years you run away from me you are still in my memory," James said.
Wilson and Cynthia smiled as James and Silvia hugged emotionally.
"Where is my son I know you don't want to introduce me to him but today I want to see him I need to tell him something very important," James said.
"He works in the factory we work together but I do the night shift," Silvia said.
"Tea factory job is so rigorous why did you let my only son work in the factory," James said emotionally.
"For us to make ends meet if we don't work we shall die in poverty" Silvia responded.
"But you told me you got someone richer than me and you went with him without telling me leaving a written message behind for me to get the shocking information," James said.
"I end up with a conman after we settled together he took everything that you had bought for me and went to a neighboring country leaving me with nothing with three-year-old Henry" Silvia replied.
"That is very sad news indeed why didn't you come back for me?" James asked.
"I was full of guilt I had to find a job to survive I made the decision to come to the tea factory luckily I met a friend who helped me secure a job here," Silvia said.
Wilson and Cynthia got surprised James became so emotional the time was running out but James was not bothered about anything he wanted to see his son.
"Where do you work I see you are a rich man?" Silvia asked.
"No I am nobody I am just an employee for the construction company in town," James said.
There was a knock at the door Silvia rushed and opened Henry came in very tired he was surprised to encounter visitors.
"Welcome my son," James said.
Henry recalled what his mother has said that it was not his father's fault that they are alone it was his mother's fault
Henry sat though he was very tired after working in the factory James realized.
"My son I need to have a word with you," James said.
"Let me prepare tea for him to restore his energy he needs some energy for him to listen to you," Silvia said.
James looked at the photos on the portrait on the wall he realized something shocking he saw Silvia posed in the picture with Esther he was very shocked he held Wilson's hand and excuse themselves to go outside Wilson was shocked, and Henry was surprised to see them going outside.
"Wilson there is a problem Esther and Silvia know each other" James said.
"Are you sure how you know?" Wilson asked.
"There is a picture on the wall in the portrait it seems they know one another" James said.
"Don't worry if they know one another or they are relatives in any way we will keep a secret that we know Silvia from Esther" Wilson said.
"Please let's go inside they are going to be suspicious what we are going to do is that we are going to ask Silvia who is in the photo as if we don't know him then we will know what relationship she has with him Esther," Wilson said.
"That is a good idea" James replied.
They went inside the house Silvia brought tea to Henry and served it.
"Who is that lady you took a picture with she is familiar," Wilson asked.
"Her name is Esher she is married to a rich man she does not want to do anything with me since she is better off she is a ruthless woman ready to kill," Silvia said.
James and Wilson pretended as if they don't know her he was very shocked to know that Silvia is sister to Esther his ruthless wife.
"I see your negative reaction when I responded that she is my sister," Silvia said.
James lacked to say but Wilson smiled.
"I was shocked when you said she is so ruthless sister" Wilson replied.
"That is the reality she is a very ruthless woman she didn't bear children because she did numerous abortions," Silvia said.
"I am sorry to tell you so but that is what is haunting my sister she doesn't want us to know her rich husband thinking that her husband will help us in some way," Silvia said.
That information shocked James into his born marrow but he had to compose himself to avoid Silvia being suspicious.
"As Henry takes tea let us go outside to have fresh air shortly" James requested.
"It's okay take you take your time," Silvia said.
James and Wilson went outside to talk about what they just discovered they sat outside.
"It seems it was a conspiracy Esther knew that I was having a relationship with Silvia," James said.
"How did you know that?" Wilson asked.
"When she said that she does not want anybody to know her husband then that came to my mind she does not want us to know their whereabouts," James said.
"That could be the reason but what are we going to do for Henry to be saved from Esther since she has the guts to kill," Wilson asked.
"I have to talk to my son to go to exile and stay there for a while and pretended to be from a very poor family" James suggested.
"That is a good idea but how are you going to explain it to him?" Wilson asked.
"I will have to take my time to explain to him," James said.
"Your father loves you he is here please listen to what he is going to say to you," Silvia said.
"I am happy to hear that from you mother I will follow what you've said," Henry said.
