Chapter 18

• IN THE PALACE. Stacy and her mother the queen are having breakfast, when the queen asks her of Maxwell's whereabouts. Stacy had not seen her brother for a while but the last time she saw him, he was okay, he's doing well mom, I saw him at his company last week and I can tell he looks great and maybe he has moved on from the memories of that witch. Her mother chuckled saying ,I also hope so, you know I don't know how he came to love someone like that maybe she did something to him but it's too bad ,her charm didn't last long and I couldn't have allowed it, it's really hard to keep up with such a person ,I hope she disappeared for good that my son can marry a decent and presentable woman. It has been a shame to me every time my friends ask me to introduce my daughter -in-law to them , I always give them excuses because there is no way I would introduce her to anyone, I want a daughter -in-law I can boast about and go shopping with while chatting not someone like her, Stacy laughed at that and added that she also hoped her brother would marry someone else. In fact I will be visiting him later and see how he's doing, maybe I can suggest that we go out and with that he will be able to meet someone maybe, the queen nodded smiling, I really need grandchildren at the rate am ageing, I need to see the really fast and so if he hasn't moved on maybe I will find a way to force him to get married. You got that mother but forcing him is not a solution, let's first see how he's doing then we'll know what to do after that. Stacy has been ringing the bell at the gate but no one is answering, she has been here for almost ten minutes and so her patience is wearing out. When she's about to turn around and leave , she sees Martin coming her way, they exchange presantaries and Martin goes ahead to knock again, you know I haven't seen your brother for some days now and am worried, his phone is not going through so I thought of coming to check him at home, Stacy was confused, you mean you can't get him on phone? She asked ,yeah ,have tried severally but it ain't going through, okay wait let me try , she dialled his number but the call didn't go through, that's when she noticed something was wrong ,she has been knocking with no one answering, and he has not been seen around and also his phone ain't going through,. What do we do , asked Stacy, I don't know and I don't think he could leave his home without a guard even if he was traveling so I wonder why no one is opening the gate, let me try again, Martin said and banged the door loudly, someone rushed to the gate with hurried steps, he looked as if he has been woken up from sleep, hey you ,how can you sleep that much to the extent you can't here that have been knocking on this gate for so long , are you okay,? is something wrong with you, or did you come here to sleep and get paid, Stacy almost yelled, she can't imagine someone has been in there with all the knocking, sorry madam , said the guard, sorry for yourself, she answered right back , he respectfully offered his greetings and Martin answered him , where is your boss? Martin asked him, eeeeehmn the boss is not around at the moment, I also know he's not around so tell me did he tell you where he went to and when did he leave, Martin continued to ask ,okay sir ,he left three days ago to a certain village, I can't remember the name of the village but it's far away sir, what did he say he was going to do there? He asked again, well I can remember one of our long gone guard came baring good news for the boss and he was very happy when leaving, come on you block head complete your statement, what good news did he get? The guard said that he had information of where the boss's wife is. Said the guard, what did you just say? ,Who was found? Boss's wife madam, but we are not sure since he hasn't come back maybe he's still looking for her, Stacy was irritated, she turned around and left in furry, Martin did the same, let's go to the Lazycash club , said Martin as he entered his car, they drove with Stacy behind and headed to the club, it was a 20minutes drive and it wasn't going well with either of them but they got there at last.
