HIS MAD OBSESSION

CHAPTER 3

"Now you listen to me, when he finally gets married to you, I want you to get close to the family and make sure he gives you a position or anything that gets you closer to the company's system and documents. I need you to steal those documents to me. Immediately I get hold of those documents, I can finally crush that family down," My father said with a wicked smile on his face.

"But daddy, why do you want me to get you those documents? What do you need them for? And why are you talking with so much anger, pain, emotions and wickedness?" I asked curiously.

"Mr. Williams Forson was a very good friend of mine; we used to do everything together. We shared ideas and engaged in multiple business transactions together but my company started growing faster than his during those periods. Honestly, this growth was fueled by series of illegal activities which were going on in my company in order to generate more revenue. As Mr. Williams saw that I was getting more money, he had some suspicions but I denied any allegations. Surprisingly, the government got a notice that there were some illegal activities going on in my company and sent some government officials unannounced who came to find out what I actually do, though I didn't even know how and when they did that investigation.

One afternoon, whilst I was in my office and going about my daily routines, I heard the sirens of police cars and looking through my windows, I realized my company's premises had been surrounded. Before I could sit back into my chair, I heard a knock on my door. A CID with three policemen entered and before I could speak, he told me that I'm under arrest. I was so confused. They took me to the police station before they told me everything that I was doing. I couldn't lie because they had all the evidence. I had been caught and they wanted to close down my company as well. I called my good friend Mr. Williams to help me out since he was very rich, influential and he had all the links to the government officials who could literally help me out. But my good friend Mr. Williams declined to help me out. He told me he can't involve himself into illegal things. I ended up been jailed for five fucken bad years and they took away my company and everything that I suffered for.

After my release I haven't taken it easy with life. I have been trying to build up a new company. But, my bad reputation has affected its growth level significantly. I get rejections from some old partners whilst others are just not willing to invest in my start up. In the midst of all these struggling, it's was then I realized Mr. Williams was behind all that went on. He reported me to the government, and I boldly say this because I remember a day he came to visit me in my office. After his departure, I couldn't find some documents of my company any longer. So, he was the one but after all these years he's also into the same illegal business activities that I was doing in my company but covering it up with other legal companies.

So, I have to find concrete evidence to end him and his generation," My father explained.

I asked, "Dad, what kind of illegal business are you talking about?"

"It's called money laundry," he replied.

"What is money laundering? What is it about?" I asked again.

"Money laundering involves disguising financial assets so they can be used without detection of the illegal activity that produces them. Through money laundering, I transform the monetary proceeds derived from the criminal activities into funds with an apparently legal source," My dad explained to me.

"Oops hm I see, but Dad, what evidence do you have that he was the one behind all that? And even if he's the one, do you think it's right to pay him back? The bible teaches us not to fight all kinds of fights but we should rather live the fight to him 'Jesus Christ' and he will fight all out for us. And I also believe in Karma, if indeed he's the one behind all this Karma is surely going to pay him back.

But what if he's not the one?" I asked.

"Would you shut your filthy mouth? What do you know. None of these concerns you ok, all you need to do is to seduce him, let him marry you, get us the documents we need, then we will pay for your mother's medical bills. Don't you get it?" Mrs. Abigail said.

"No, no, no, I'm not going to do that," I replied.

"Do you want us to pay for your mother's medical bills or not?" Natasha asked.

I got angry and left.

On my way home, I felt very sad and started talking to myself. Contemplating on everything my father had said and wondering if I should help him carry out his evil plan or rather disclose it to Mr. Williams. But how do I even get closer to Mr. Williams if it's not through my father.

Immediately, my phone rang.

I hurriedly picked it up and it was Niela Aggrey, my best friend.

"Hello Pamela!"

"I've got some news for you," she continued excitedly without hesitation.

"What is it this time?" I responded.

Before she would utter the next word, the phone hanged out.

Trying to get back on phone with her, I was filled with curiosity.

Is she going to update me on my mother's situation or has found a new way for us to raise some money to pay the deposit?
