BREAKING THE YOKE OF LOVE

WHEN IN DOUBT

With his trousers down his waist and his p***s exposed, Patrick ran to the window, bent and tried to see what the cause of the gunshot was. He'd been brutally cut short from having s*x with Eva, and as such Patrick was utterly dismayed. He took two firearm from a nearby cabinet and gave one to Eva who was now trembling.

“ Take your son upstairs and shut the doors and windows, if anyone that's not me tried to enter, shoot to kill. “ Patrick told her.

“ Okay, “ Eva strained and did as she ewe told.

While she was gone, Patrick armed his free hand with another gun and positioned at the back of the door, waiting to see who entered the house. He took it that it may be enemies from family who had come to kill him off before he made any function to get back his wealth. Hus father, Ronald Sawyer had a total of fourteen wives, a total of sixteen sons and since it was the season to take power, all the children were on edge. It was tradition as men to function for power and wealth to be theirs, whatever the cause. Bloodshed was customary and allowed.

His father Ronald, was part of the church of the Elite which housed the most powerful, influential, prestigious and rich members of the world sphere. It was in the church of the Elite that different world leading businesses had the opportunity to function. Different business owners have the minimum amount of time to lay a function and if they were smart enough, they were allowed to raise a business structure. That was also if the said business was important enough to be made. Businesses such as Google, sss, and even tradefair were functioned in the church before they hit the public. And if the individuals could protect their business well enough, it was also customary that another person could seize the business place from them through wise functioning.

Patrick had been a victim of power seizure years ago when he lost his wealth to his elder brother Donald. After his business loss, he became an object of jest and mockery to his two younger brothers. And ever since the loss of his business, Patrick had sworn to get back what he lost so that his influence would be guaranteed for a long period of time. Wealth was important, if he didn't get back his company during the functional season, he was sure to die poor. There was one principal reason why Patrick had to win back his company, that was because of his actual family that he hid, he had a daughter. After being born into a family that functioned on power seizure with any means necessary, Patrick was smart enough to hide his family, containing his daughter and wife from everyone. It was in a strong bid to save their life. After crafting a plan to take back what he lost, one of his principal plot was to smuggle in a fake family to function with deceit. He carefully chose Eva, who looked like his wife and Nathan who resembled his daughter, but he operated s*x change to fool everyone into thinking he had a son in the place of a daughter. Patrick was ever determined to play the game different this time around, trusting too many people had caused him everything, and so he would not male the same mistake twice. He was willing to have collateral damage, which was in that anybody that stood in the way of him actualizing his climax. And after he had succeeded in taking back his company, he would take his real family and disappear completely. Patrick would then live for his daughter only.

Patrick would occasionally peer the window to monitor the events of things, but he made sure to return behind the door to avoid been shot. At about twelve minutes after, the shooting ended, Patrick prepped to welcome his intruder. And as he suspected, the front door opened and he saw his mother, Catherine Sawyer walked into his house. At the realization that the intruder was in fact his mother, Patrick was instantly sent into indignation and rage. He flipped his guns to the ground and screamed in frustration.

“ Mother it was you! “

Catherine tried to touch him but the angry Patrick waved her hands away from him before contact was made.

“ Why are you here without telling me? Do you know what you've just caused me! “

“ Would you please relax? “ Catherine sparked her cigar and took a prestigious seating position, completely ignoring that she just broke into her son's home unannounced.

“ You shot at my men? “

“ Dean took a hit to the shoulders, couple of them did too, nothing they can't handle. They are security personnels, it is part of their job. “

Patrick frustratedly took her lit cigar and threw it on the floor, “ Why would you do that? “

“ They refused to let me in, “ She sparked on another cigarette.

“ That's because I gave them strict orders not to! “

“ Relax son, I am only here as someone you can trust, “ She groaned and spoke seriously for the first time, “ Where is the fake wife? “

Patrick had told his mother of his plans, she was the only family that he could trust. Being the secomd son, Patrick was raised and loved by the mother so much that he proof checked all his decisions from her first. She was a very wise woman who married his father at a young age, Catherine had four sons and he, Patrick was the youngest of all the children.

“ You should have called be before coming mother, that's all. “ Patrick's anger was reducing as he too took a seat.

“ Does it matter? You're my son. “

“ You have other children that function against me, they would stop at nothing to kill me if it came down to it and those are the ones that share the same parents with me. “

Catherine released a long gush of smoke, “ Patrick I have other children but you are my best child, you are the one who remembered my sacrifices and paid me back for all I gave. Functioning for power and wealth took all the love my other children had for me, that's one of the suffering for marrying a man who loves the duties of the world as he termed it more than his own family. But you are my one son that loves his mother. “

Patrick melted, “ Mother… i do love you, but don't be in a haste to make me separate from your other evil children. “

“ Easy son, take credit for your little good. “

“ Why are you here? “ He sparked on his own cigarette.

“ Two things, to see the woman and to tell you something important. “

Patrick was all ears, “ The woman is upstairs, the bullets surely scared her son, but she is fine. “

“ How are you planning on functioning her? “

“ Do tell, just like the way you functioned me. She will have to percept for herself. I'm telling her nothing, she will have to use her wisdom to find out. “

“ Splendid, that's one of the excellent ways to function someone, then you can see their true capabilites without erroring them. “

“ Be careful about letting your emotions play on you, do not fall in love with her. I suspect that might be a problem later. Get the job done and waste of her. “

“ I won't fall in love with her, that is not part of the plan. But I'm not in a hurry to kill her mother, I told her, if she is smart enough, she will survive this, if she isn't then she can be wasted. “ He sniffed, “ What’s the other thing that you have to tell me? “

“ Your father is on the verge of loosing his multi-billion dollar security company. He made one wrong deal with Simon Sacabi that will cost him everything. Imagine if he's only hope is a menial play in the church of the Elite.“

“ How does that concern me? He can lose Cypher for all I care, I am a very busy man. “

“ I want you to help him get it back, Patrick in your journey to get what you lost, you may need support from Ronald. Your father has strong influence in the game. Helping him get back Cypher will make him your strong ally. “

Patrick's head pressed hard, “ I will think about it strongly. “

Catherine sighed satisfied, “ And the woman? “

“ She will be fast asleep, stay for the night and you will see her tomorrow. “ He rose and retreated to his room.

*****************

Catherine sat alone in the large parlor smoking and devising ploys of her own. She thought of her very powerful husband, Ronald. Should she let his multi-billion dollar company leave his grasp and go to the wield of Patrick, or should she save it for her husband. One of the detriment of thoughts being a mother to the Sawyer's family was choosing wisely when to render help. Family bonds had no affiliation with who to help. Cypher was one of the world's leading security field. Security layers like Capcha, Bimo were registered under Cypher. The security premise of America rested on Ronald's company and he may lose it to his childhood friend, Simon Sacabi. Taking the company for herself might ruse problems for her later and so she dismissed the plot for now. Amidst her thinking, she heard a soft feet tap the staircase. Catherine called, “ Don't run away Eva Manhunter, join me. “

And as though it was calculated, Eva stepped into the shade to the parlors light, where Catherine could see her, she had been eavesdropping on Catherine conversation with Patrick. And the woman had caught her.
