The Amazing son- in -law!

The bank card( Amelia )

Amelia jumped up and down, humming and shaking her body to a song only she could understand, she had turned into a millionaire overnight, " Aha, so it's this easy to get enough money to be whatever you wanted to be," Amelia ululated noisily.

" Stop counting your eggs before they hatch, Maybe the card is empty and you are getting excited about nothing," Eunice yelled, she did not believe things easily, a good example of Thomas, seeing is believing.

"These eggs have hatched, all I need is confirmation of how many chicks have survived, and I will be doing it later," Amelia said excitedly.

" I can't live in the same house with that guy, God he is poor and he is ugly, why is he dressed up like that, He is not an old man for God's sake," Eunice Amelia's Mother was not into Steve, she hated him even the idea that he is in his house.

" Am not sure why he has chosen to be oversize, who knows that's how it is where he came from, he speaks quality English, though!," Amelia said," But I don't care if I can get something better to do in my life and quit that secretarial job, I would stop my crime life".

"If this man gets you out of the crime life and sets you and Jamal free from the street life, then I am okay with having this man around but he has to be productive," Eunice said and rested on the sofa backrest.

, "Let's get to business, Mother what exactly do you know about such a card," Amelia asked handing it over to her mother as they sit down on the couch.

She just turned it over and over and raised her hands saying," Is it not a debit card, how much is inside?".Eunice asked greedily.

" Seriously Mother, this is a Centurion Card, American Express, you can't own that if you don't have millions and millions in the bank," Amelia replied excitedly, " Don't you understand?" She stood up and danced around the sitting area.

" Someone better explain this, 'cause I am not babysitting a grown-ass man," Jenny lamented, sparing them a tepid side eye gaze, as she appeared from the washrooms drying her hands on a towel.

" We are rich, Millionaires!" Amelia shouted and gave her the card," Have a look sister, Centurion!".

" Belongs to that charcoal of a man, how?" She asked with eyes wide open, contemplating if her sister's remarks were reasonable.

" yes that guy with oversized clothes, and no memory, Is our gate to wealth," Amelia crouched next to her mother," Why the facial expression, are you still confused Mama mia?" And she flipped the card before her eyes.

" Jenny I need my phone, I got to Google this to understand what you people are saying and if it's true or not," Eunice stood up paced up and down with her finger holding her chin like she was in deep thought.

" Can't find it, where were you with it last, we should get you a small purse and tie it around your neck, am tired of searching for your phone now and then," Jenny complained as she threw the divan cushions on the floor, her eyebrows raised her search was unproductive.

" Am holding it, Sorry Jenny," Eunice apologized, she then turned to her phone and entered the word Centurion card and read unhurriedly, and with every word her expression shifted to a shiny mood.

" My God, I see it now, and the way things are hard on us, God just sent us our destiny connector," Eunice said smiling, as Jenny smacked and licked her lips her Mother was senile.

" So how do you intend to get the cash out of that card, The excitement in your faces would say you are sure of when and how?" Jenny asked with a brow, starting at her intently

" He will give me his password period," Amelia shouted boldly," he is not yet at his normal state". And they both stared at her.

" Will he cut you his finger, for I have read that you might need fingerprints for that," Eunice said pointing at the card.

" Who is he and for how long will he be here, Nobody seems to answer me," Jenny shouted adorably confused, she wanted this to be over so she can enjoy the house like she does most of the time when she is home alone.

" His name is Steve Walker, he was drugged and dropped at Craven's, and his memory is lost, he does not remember anything that happened to him before a few hours ago," Amelia explained her face lighting up.

" Then how does he remember his password, trend wisely before you bring trouble into our home," Eunice warned confused.

" Relax Mother, let's all calm down and have positive thoughts, First we need to know how much is in here and how we can withdraw it and let this Man take off," Amelia Whispered. and she kept glancing at the door leading to the bathroom, to make sure Steve does not overhear her.

" When? what if his memory returns tonight," Eunice asked worriedly, letting out a simple scoff, it was this easy.

" Then I have to try to get all the information now, I must revive my club and resign from this tiring job, I work hard and I do not see where my money goes," Amelia complained twining her eyebrows in frustration.

"And if he gets out of the bathroom with his memory back, and he does not comply," Jenny asked.

" I just call on my army, Jamal and Todd, and after a few scares, he gives in the information that we need," Amelia chirped in a slightly puffing up smile.

"It's good if someone started bringing cash in this house, I am getting exhausted paying bills alone," Eunice clicked, then Steve walked in and they all went silent.

" Amelia is it possible to have something to eat I am starving, or else you can give me the card and I will walk out and check for some food," Steve said sitting down innocently.

" What? who said you can sit there?" Eunice shouted," Go and sit on that plastic chair over there and next time respects my couches and Divan,".

" Mummy, be nice now till we get a way forward," Amelia interrupted, then she held Steve's hands and led him to the Chair.

" Am sorry Ma, it won't happen again," Steve said bowing a little, this was an unplanned predicament.

" Do not Mummy me, with those big lips are they real? keep telling him to stay out of my way, how can he have such a card and cannot even dress nicely, look at him " A pathetic loser," Eunice exclaimed and left for the kitchen, she was not interested in the interrogation, she needed a cup of coffee.

" So Steve where exactly do you come from," Amelia asked seated across from him.

" I do not know till my memory is back, I do not know anything," Steve repeated for the umpteenth time.

" How much is in this card, and what do you know about it," Amelia pushed on.

" I know it has a name on it, which probably is my name, and I can buy food with it as long as I use my fingers and put some numbers in it," Steve replied blindly not aware of the plan at hand. And the kind of smart woman he was dealing with.

" You need to eat and a place to stay but we can't do that without money so I will drive you to the bank and we can ask, from there we shall know what to do," Amelia told him

" No problem am famished, I need to eat, I took the soup and forgot to carry some takeaway at the Craven's," Steve stood up and led the way. Jenny was eavesdropping, it was not the first time Amelia brought men home and stole from them and asked Todd and Jamal to beat them to a pulp, pretending that the men almost raped him. She feared for this Steve of a guy living with all his confusion and not listening to what she says as he thinks about food.

"I just heard a car pull out of the parking, are they gone," Eunice asked, "this time around I do not feel like this Amelia plan will succeed!".

" Why she seems to know what she is doing they just left to buy food and check the bank balance," Jenny shrugged and took a cup of coffee her mother brought her.

" A guy with such a card, he was robbed but they did not carry his card, who is he? he can't be anyone of substance he seems like a pauper, a homeless guy," Eunice let out.

" I think unless we get a concrete plan, this guy can be trouble later, it's his card, his fingerprints unlock it, common sense," Jenny said and sipped on her beverage.

" I like you because you always think first, your sister only thinks about Money, conning and stealing some more," Eunice threw her hands like she was surrendering.

" So who is she after if not you, all the evil things are done in this house, you condone them and watch and even collaborate with her," Jenny chirped in brutally.

" And what's your role in it," Eunice sneered at her with disgust.

" Only because I need to live a lavish life, I hate poverty and I need this posh Divan, leather couches and a bathtub," Jenny snarled.

" But your hands are only good for that laptop, posting pictures everywhere looking good from things bought with money you did not earn," Eunice said in a mocking tone.

" That's right, those are all bribes, so I can keep my mouth shut, and never to talk about our home affairs, so as not to spoil your dignity until when are we gonna live this fake life?" Jenny exhaled sharply.

" Till you stop being a leech and a parasite, and bring your hard-earned money into this house," Eunice her Mother glared at her.

Steve and Amelia came back, with a bag written KFC Chicken and chips, full stocked up, When Jenny saw it she ran forward to take the bag from Steve who removed his share and gave her the rest., He strolled to his plastic Chair and ate fast but carefully making sure no debris saw the ground, He feared the high-pitched voice of Eunice.

Amelia did not say anything, she just sat next to Steve and watched him eat.,

" Would you like to lie down, you must be tired and sleepy, I will show you my room," Amelia said, giving him a cup of Vanilla yoghurt. He needed him out of the room so they could discuss the matter at hand, things just got complicated and she hoped her mother will agree with her decision.

" Yea, of course, thank you, I would like that very much but is it okay to sleep in your room," Steven inquired.

"As your wife, it's allowed for us to share a bedroom, don't you worry you will be fine," Amelia winked at Jenny, she knew she will be the first to burst into laughter.

" You need to talk with your Mother first, if she disagrees we can go rent our place right? or is the money in the card not enough, She does not like me, look at her facial expression," Steve said pointing at Eunice.

" Young man don't you point at me with your filthy fingers, Or I will cut them, can't wait to hear how you just got yourself a wife," Eunice hissed at him

" Let's go forget about Mother she is all bark but can't bite, the money is not enough to eat and to rent," Amelia gestured to her Mother to shut up and calm down.

"The way things are unfolding, it's not according to what my sister expected but who is she? She must have this Money," Jenny commented from this ugly oversized clothes guy with a European accent, A foodie with the most expensive bank card on earth..wonders shall never cease to happen.

" Stop with your critics and let's wait and hear from the horse's mouth, Damn am sweating," Eunice said tugging on her clothes up and down to get some air on her oversized wear

" If I hear another word from you, Jenny, I will slap you and throw you out of this house, I won't care if it's your father's house or not," Amelia chirped, and She just nodded and showed with her fingers that she will be quiet.

Amelia was a beast, if you cross her road you would suffer much and Jenny was not ready to suffer or be thrown out, now that there seems to be a jackpot at the table, when the heat gets too high temperatures, she calms down and watch, Amelia was her Mothers version, Two very horrible women.

" Listen you all, The bank does not have the authority to tell us how much is on the card, Number two, You can only withdraw Ten thousand per day, number three, Nobody else has the authority to withdraw cash except Steve, I must be a close Relation or his wife if I want to accompany him to the bank or else am not wanted anywhere near him physically," Amelia sighed, it was clear she was stressed.

" That's a lot of cash a day, I would have done the same too, introduce myself as his wife, ten days that's a hundred and in a month that's three hundred, it's more than enough," Jenny exclaimed.

" Exactly, that's what I thought and since he does not understand, anything about the whole thing, I will take the money as long as he is well-fed, we are good," Amelia said giving them an edgy look.

" Wow, enough to risk at, till he gets his memory back which I hope it's not soon, someone must have abandoned him there with a reason, and he is not from around this place, Maybe he Is a Mafia or a Billionaire son, he was supposed to figure out his life with that card but it seems they used lots of drugs on him and he might be like this for a long time, otherwise why all these rules at the bank?" Jenny said battling her eyelashes.

" Well done, sounds right!, we will go with your reasoning and hope for the best, now I need a fake Marriage certificate, we are not losing a day of that money," Amelia sighed out with relief.

" Mummy you have not said anything, are you okay with what we have agreed on," Amelia asked her.

" Yes, but what will I tell people who come to visit me, women of dignity and class, how will I live with him here," Eunice let out a furious growl.

" You got yourself a live-in son-in-law if you need the money you have to accept him and he is still not normal, so he can be a cook, a cleaner, a gardener or whatever," Amelia said.

" We all need the money at least I can manage my earnings without thinking about all of you, remember to tell the boys not to harm our liability," Eunice declared nodding her head in agreement.

" We shall cross that bridge when we get there, and if it's okay then am off to find original fake Marriage certificates she jumped around and smooched Steve's bank card several times and gave it to her Mother for safe upkeep.
