James sat under the shade outside his house thinking hard about who is going to inherit his prestigious construction company his wife did not bear a son he sat and thought hard, on the other hand, Henry the son of his first wife was working as a laborer in one of the tea factories, James sat he was sickly and helpless Wilson his friend came.
"James, what is bothering you?" Wilson asked.
"Welcome have a seat I will explain to you" James responded.
Wilson sat and looked to listen to what James had to say.
"My friend I am a billionaire I have no one to inherit my billionaire construction company my wife is barren I have no child," James said sadly.
"As a youth, we dated at the university you remember I dated Cynthia you dated Silvia and we had kids" Wilson responded.
"I remember I had a son with Silvia a woman I loved so much," James said.
"That is the son he can inherit the billionaire construction company" Wilson responded.
"What am I going to do Esther will not allow that to happen," James said.
"Why can't you write a will and keep it a secret after all Esther thinks that you are an employee of the construction company she does not know that you are the owner," Wilson said.
"I thank my lawyers for advising me not to disclose the ownership of the construction company Esther is a monster she can kill if she realized that someone would inherit our construction company," James said.
Esther came outside the house towards them Wilson was uncomfortable since she knew how Esther was.
"I hope you are not planning something against me I will deal with you," Esther said.
"No not at all I am only giving company to your husband and we are having a light talk, by the way, how are you" Wilson greeted.
"I am fine though I didn't manage to give James any child I am okay," Esther said.
Wilson and James looked at one another in surprise Esther went back to the house Wilson was very shocked.
"Your wife has a monster attitude I am afraid but I am happy you didn't disclose that you are the owner of the construction company," Wilson said.
"I have wise counsel in the construction company they advised me accordingly if so my construction company could have run into losses if I could introduce Esther to the construction company," James said.
"By the way how are we going to reach Silvia then before we parted he had a bouncing baby boy even if we reach at her how are we going to start to explain ourselves to her?" James asked.
"I know where my former girlfriend Cynthia lives she can give us a lead," Wilson said.
James smiled.
"How about if Silvia is happily married what are we going to do?" James asked.
"Then we will use the legal way to have your son henry even if it means having a DNA test we are going to do so," Wilson said.
"I see you have a good idea how about when we meet her what are we going to tell her for her to accept to have my son?" James asked
"You will tell her you to need your son if she is married if she is not married you will have to take both of them," Wilson said.
"How about if he has some other kids," James asked.
"You will only take your son to avoid a lawsuit and you will have to proof that Henry is your biological son through the DNA test," Wilson said.
"I don't want Esther to know that I have a son outside our marriage what am I going to do?" James asked.
"When you meet your son instruct him to pretend to come from a poor family, for now, to avoid being killed by Esther even to the wife she is going to marry he should not disclose his status that he owns one of the prestigious construction companies in our country," Wilson said.
"We have to explain to him that it is very dangerous for him to disclose that he is the son of the owner of a billionaire construction company," Wilson said.
James nodded.
"We need to go and find Cynthia for her to give us information about Silvia and his son Henry," James said.
"We have to go tomorrow morning to meet Cynthia she has a business in Kericho town center then he will tell us where Silva is and your son Henry," Wilson said.
James was a happy man to hear that they are going to see the first love he met in the university brought memories of his young age he wished the time to be pushed faster for him to see Silvia.
Silvia woke early she prepared tea for his son Henry ready to go to work at the tea factory memories came to her mind she recalled James at the university she missed him so much she looked at Henry her son he resemble James very much.
"Mum I see you are in dip thought what is going on," Henry asked.
"I thought of your father he resembled you very much I wish to see him very soon" Silvia responded.
"Henry smiled and looked at her in surprise.
Why are you thinking about the person he left us he doesn't know our whereabouts or how we are doing?" Henry asked.
Silvia cried emotionally Henry was very surprised.
"Do you know that it was my own mistake not James your father I had much pride I was looking for someone super-rich to marry as a teenager I thought that money was everything I was so foolish I am very guilty but I am happy to see you you are my everything?" Silvia said?
"I wish to see him soon but I don't know him," Henry said.
"You will see him soon I understand he is working in the billionaire construction company he is now a rich man," Silvia said.
"Mum we are struggling to make our ends meet why did you reject him even after having a son with me?" Henry asked.
That was the most difficult question to answer instead she started crying emotionally like a Small child she regretted what she did way back at the university.
Wilson arrived the guard opened the gate he entered.
"You are eagerly being waited by the boss please hurry he has been asking about you," t the guard said.
"Okay let me see him," Wilson said.

"I don't know they didn't tell me I think they are going to the construction company" the guard responded.
"What kind of a company is this James is already an old toothless dog and they still need him I don't understand," Esther said sarcastically.
The guard went back to the gate and Esther returned to the house.
