Worrying about Nick, I had a sleepless night
I ran my fingers through my hair as I sat up on the bed
I was damn confused
I dragged myself up from the bed and walked into the bathroom to freshen up . I soon returned to the run when I done
I dressed hurriedly, pick up my phone and car keys on the table and headed for my dad room.
*
I knocked at his door but there was no response from him
Is he still sleeping? I wondered
I pushed the door opened and walked in.
he was seated on the bed and staring into space
Dad! I called while walking towards him
he jolted out from his thoughts and looked at me
I sighed
Are you still thinking about Nick?
Why won’t I? Why won’t I think about him? I loved him for good twenty- three(23) years thinking he was my son , but it was all a waste
Please don’t say that Dad, Nick is your son and will always be .
he scoffed
It does not change the fact that he is not my blood
Does it really matter? I asked calmly
Of course it does
but dad it ......... I tried to say but he cut me off
Can we please talk about something else ? he pleaded
Fine! I muttered and he smiled lightly
Can I ask a small favour of you? I started
What is it? he stared at me
Candy’s dad need a Job, is there any vacancy at any of the Delgado’s corporate?
he smiled
they are all yours now , so you can do as you please
I gave him a confused look
What do you mean?
you are my true son and it is only right for you to inherit all of my properties
I scoffed
What of Nick? What will happen to him?
I will sign one of my mansion to his name and that is all. he finalised
I stared at him in surprise
And moreover he is wealthy enough to take care of himself. he added
Are you really gonna divorce his mother? I probed
Of course . he nodded
And do you think that is the best thing to do?
What do you expect me to do Chase? she cheated on me , that b***h cheated on me. he yelled
Listen to her and try to know the reason she did it .i yelled back and he became calm
But Chase.....
No but dad, don’t let your anger cloud your Judgement. I advised
he sighed
If after listening to her and you still decide on divorcing her , I will give you my full support
he smiled
Thanks son, he appreciated
it is nothing dad......

Sitting opposite my dad, I explained everything to him about the Job promise
he listened to me without uttering a word
So how do you see it? I asked after I was done explaining
he smirked
You went too far Candy
What do you mean by that? I asked in surprise
Can’t you see? it will seem like you are taking advantage of his love to get what you want ,people will call you a .....
gold digger. I completed and he nodded
Are you for real Dad? is that what you are worried about? ...... for goodness sake! we are not asking for money, we are seeking for a job
he sighed
Did you tell him about my qualifications?
Of course I did . I grinned
What did he say? he asked
he said he will get back to me ......
I just hope things go well
Of course it will dad.........

I pondered on my dad’s decision as I drove over to the hospital
I couldn’t believe he was about to make me the sole owner of Delgado’s corporate
I sighed
I was really worried about how Nick will feel and react
but who can he really blame , he should blame his mother for it
*
I soon got to hospital and I parked in the parking lot
I alighted from the car and walked into the hospital
Sir Chase! one of the nurses on seat called while running to me
how can I help you?
she smiled shyly
We are a huge fan of yours and we need an autograph
We? I muttered while staring at the second nurse on seat
She gave me a seductive smile
I scoffed
Can we do this later? I am here for my brother
oh! You mean the one with a bad voice . She retorted
What did you just say? I glared at her
Nothing. she replied
Better! So can I see him? I repeated
Of course you can , he is at the VIP 4 ward
How can I get there?
Come this way . She said and led me through a long passage
*
She stopped in front of the last room in the passage
This is it. she informed and I nodded
Can I go or do you still need me for anything? she licked her lips
I smirked
Are you for real?
Yes sir, I can give anything.. I repeat anything you want . She said seductively
Leave . I grunted
but .........
I said Leave . I yelled and she scampered away
Crazy ! I cursed
*
I push the door to the ward opened and walked in
I stared blankly at Nick’s limp body on the bed , his mum was seated on a chair beside the bed
What are you doing here? She glared at me
I came to check on Nick . I replied calmly
Why? so you can taunt and jeer him for being a looser. she retorted
I scoffed
And why will I do that? I am not as evil as you
What! how dare you talk to me like that!She yelled
I smirked
Save your voice because you will be needing it when Nick wakes up
Whaat do you meen. She stuttered
Why can’t you just tell who his father is? Why can’t you. I yelled
She scoffed
Do you think it is easy to tell a Child that the person he calls father is a fake . She screamed
I sighed
Then why did you lie from the beginning?
It is none of your business. She retorted
Oh! I can see, you will ...... I stopped when I heard a faint sound
I turned to the direction of the sound and was surprised to see Nick awake
When did he wake? I wondered
what are you both talking about?he asked faintly
Nick! Oh my gawd! You are awake. his mum beamed excitedly
Mother! What were you both talking about? he repeated
