Few days later my convoy zoomed into the airport where my gold-plated private jet was steaming and waiting for my arrival. My attention was needed at the national oil well where a few of my professionals were drilling and exporting crude.
Once my security opened the door for me and alighted, behold Sarah scuttling like a mad dog to my side. My band of security had barely noticed her before she gripped on my Italian exquisite tuxedo.
Promptly my security pounced on her and pulled her away from arms-reach. She was still heady to go off their grip, but struggling was the much she could do as the security held her to a spot.
“You are so full of wickedness , Mike Don!” she yelled , “How could you be so cruel! Why did you do this to me? I know I caused you pain and sorrow when you were poor but that was then! You claimed to have forgiven me but literally you haven’t!” her hands trembled hugely by her side.
I held my arms as my security took off my tuxedo which had been stained with her dirty fingers. I ordered them to toss it away and fetch me a cleaner new tuxedo and they did at once. I gazed upon Sarah and dimmed my eyes at her.
“I don’t know what you want from me you poverty stricken kitten, uh. I don’t want to marry you. I don’t want to give you my one trillion. Go away!” I barked at the tops of my voice and squeezed into my new, cleaner tuxedo which my security helped me to wear.
“Mike Don!” she called, “I am not disputing the fact that you don’t want to marry me as your wife anymore. I am not against your denying me the one trillion dollars, but please unfreeze the account where the half a million is so I could withdraw it and pay my father’s medical bills…”
I chuckled evilly and shot my frown at her teary face, “It is not in my discretion to do that! That very account where that money is has been subjected to fixed deposit for ten years before I credited the account. You may have to wait for ten years before you can withdraw your half a million dollars…”
Sarah masked her teary face with her trembling sweating hands, “No! Oh my God! What have I gotten myself into? Do you know you just got my life ruined? You have finally taken the life of my father! No, Mike Don I beg of you, please you can issue out a command and the bank will unfreeze the account. Are you no longer the world richest man?” she howled and dropped on the ground.
I simpered and snarled at her, “For now, I am no longer the world richest man. I have got no power, affluence and unlimited wealth. I am just the same Brian Patrick whom you denied his mother’s medical bills and house rent some time ago. Oh Sarah don’t you know I am just the same ragged boy you told to go and beg on the road, uh?” my eyes flickered at her.
Sarah tossed her head in disapproval, “No you are not. You are the world richest man. the entire wolrd bow at your feet now. Please my father is on the verge of death at the hospital. You just have to do something and save him. Time is running out please…”
I swirled around to climb into my private jet once I gave her the cold shoulders and she lamented, “Mike Don I have leant my lesson. Never again will I maltreat the poor because I don’t know what tomorrow holds. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and help you with your mother’s medical bills and your house rent when you needed it. I wish I could give you a listening ear and respect you irrespective of your class and status…” she wept bitterly and sobbed on end as she choked on her words.
Already I had paused, just about entering the jet, and once I threw my gaze at her , I sounded, “Good that you have leant your lesson but in the hard way. Brian Patrick is Mike Don now. My unlimited wealth will help the poor and bring vengeance upon my enemies. Good bye Sarah Canon!” I bade and shut the hatch door on my jet.
“No! No! Mike Don! Please forgive me and give me a second chance! Please!” she wailed, stamped her feet on the ground and finally knelt down to weep on end.
Sarah returned to the hospital and heaved on the door which led to the office of the doctor, “Doctor please you just have to commence treatment immediately. All possible means to get the medical bills proved abortive please.” She molded her arms and wailed.
The doctor raised a thick brow and shut his thunderous face at her, “Oh stop this Sarah. You don’t have to make demands that are impossible. You and I know that I have tried my best for your father. You are yet to pay for the treatment we administered to him and now he has a terminal hole in the heart you expect me to treat him with whose money, uh? I don’t have one point five million to foot the bills. Come on give me some credit.”
“I know, doctor, indeed you have done fabulously well for us.” She dug out the credit card from her purse and flashed at him. “I have got half a million on this card but I just got to know the account is on fixed deposit for ten years. Am I going to wait for ten years before I save my father, uh?”
The doctor tossed his head, “Sarah do you realize your father is unconscious? Listen up, I have done my best only your money can do the rest,” the doctor sounded and kept shut just then before turning his back at her.
Sarah appeared all tears by the side of her sick father. The moment she caught sight of his dark drawn face, she wept even heavier and gently pulled out the diamond ring I gave her.
“Father I promise you one thing, you are not going to die. Mike Don thinks he is pouring hell on us but he is wasting his time.” she sniffed and raised the diamond ring. “I am going to sell this diamond ring and the fashion home he bought for me. I believe I will realize enough money for your medical bills after selling them.”
She wept gently as she gazed upon the diamond ring.
Unexpected disappointment was about to happen….
