THEY CALLED HER THIEF but DIDN’T KNOW A BILLIONAIRE WAS WATCHING…🥺

PART 2:

 My own son, the son I raised with proper values, stealing? As how? ‘ Are you sure that you didn’t steal their fabric? ‘ I’m sure, sir. I left yesterday evening after the day’s job, and her son insisted on locking their shop. ‘ Can you take me to your madam’s shop? Let me go and talk to her. ‘ But I don’t know you. ‘ What if I hurt you with my car? Let me help you.

‘ Sir, I don’t think this is a good idea to beg my madam. She won’t listen to you. I know her. ‘ And why won’t she? Let’s get there first. Hm, such simple and selfless ladies are rare to see these days. I need to know that girl. That’s the type of woman I want for my grandson. Yes, she would be perfect. ‘ What will I tell Princess Catherine? That her traditional outfit is missing in my shop? Chai.

 Which type of wahala is this? ‘ Young man, I’m asking you a question. Where did you get this fabric from? ‘ I I’m a fabric seller too inside the town. I just needed money urgently for a pressing need. ‘ Urgently for what? ‘ All because of this thief I was training, accusing my son. Maybe I should go around the city and see if I will replace the fabric.

‘ This market is always so crowded. ‘ Just be careful, so many people. ‘ Don’t worry, I’ve got this. ‘ Okay, just watch for the bikes. ‘ Will do. ‘ Good evening, ma. Hello, ma. Ma’am, I’m talking to you. ‘ You think you can just poke your nose into my business? Clear away from my door.

 You just stand there looking like an idiotic person. Next time you should learn to mind your business. ‘ I’m so sorry, sir. Please, I’m sorry. ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ You people think because you have a car and a fine cloth, you can come and shame me for protecting my business? Get out from here before I bring shame on you today. ‘ Okay, you came from town to sell this.

Can I have the fabric? This fabric I bought it myself 3 months ago for my niece’s wedding in Dubai. There is no other boat like it in this entire country. I was sure of that when I bought it because I don’t like duplicates at my family functions. So, tell me and choose your next words like they will decide your future.

 How does a boy like you have cloth that does not exist anywhere in Nigeria except in the tailoring shop where my niece gave them to sew it? ‘ I came here in peace. No lawyers, no police, no drama. I came because this young girl asked nothing from me except a chance to be heard. And this is what peace brings to me? Madam, madam, do you know the worth of this cloth? Do you know where I was going after this? I had a government meeting to attend to in this exact outfit.

But let me tell you something. ‘ Young man, I’m asking you, where did you get a cloth? Where did you get a cloth that doesn’t exist anywhere in Nigeria? I I bought it from a You will wait here until I finish a phone call to my niece. ‘ The number you’re trying to call is currently not reachable.

 Please try again later. Thank you. ‘ You will wait here until I finish a phone call to my niece. ‘ Uncle, I was just thinking of you. I’m coming over to the house to see you and auntie. ‘ Catherine, I need you to listen to me carefully. There’s a problem. ‘ Uncle, your voice. What happened? ‘ That Dubai fabric, the exclusive one ‘ I purchased for your wedding trousseau.

‘ Yes, uncle. What about it? ‘ The one you said you gave to a trusted friend mother to sew. ‘ Yes, uncle. What about it? ‘ It is sitting in front of me unsewn. ‘ Uncle, that’s not possible. ‘ A young man stole your wedding fabric from that tailor in shop and walked into my own shop to sell it to me.

 Put a call to your tailor now and come to my store immediately. Come with your lawyer. ‘ Yes, uncle. This is ridiculous. I’m on my way, sir. ‘ Come with your lawyer. Immediately. ‘ I am not angry about my cloth. I’m angry because you spent all morning screaming thief at an innocent lady, embarrassing her, while the real thief might be your own blood.

 You just bought a case for yourself and family today. ‘ Please, sir. My mother is a respected person in this market. I will do anything you want. Let’s settle this quietly. Nobody needs to ‘ The only thing settling today is the truth. ‘ Please, sir. My money is ‘ Young man, tell me, woman, have you called your son to ask him before accusing this lady? ‘ What What do you mean? ‘ Hello, grandpa.

‘ Hello, son. I’ve just got you a wife. ‘ Grandpa, please, not now. Let’s leave this talk. ‘ You’ll thank me later. She’s perfect. ‘ Grandpa, please, not now. Let’s leave this marriage talk, please. ‘ Hello, Princess Catherine. Ma’am, please, I will be coming over to pick my clothes today. No, don’t come yet. It’s not yet ready.

I chose your shop. Out of every classic seamstress in this city, I chose you. Not because you were the biggest or worth my standard. I chose you, ma’am, because of my best friend, and you are lying to me. Your son is sitting in my uncle’s shop at Asokoro right now, confessing everything with his own mouth.

 I am heading there this minute with my lawyer. If you have any sense left in that head of yours, you will be there before me, because what is happening to him in that shop will break both of you. ‘ ‘ ‘ Madam, we have unfinished issue. You can’t cheat me in this way and leave just like ‘ that. ‘ ‘ ‘ I see you take my calmness for a fool.

 I have somewhere urgent. Please, let me You poured dirty water on me in public, inside this market, madam. I have been patient. Where exactly do you think you are going, woman? ‘ I have somewhere urgent. I have to go now. ‘ You poured dirty water on me, and now you want to simply walk away? Madam, you must be joking.

 You are not going anywhere, not until you answer for what you have done. ‘ Please, my son. I need to get to my son before they hurt him. ‘ You disgraced this girl here this morning. Madam, I think it’s time I put calls across. Connect me to DCP Haruna. Tell him it’s Obinna Duke. Yes, now. ‘ Sir, please. ‘ Ada, get up.

 What are you doing? What Connect me to DCP Haruna. Yes, now. ‘ Sir, please. ‘ Ada, get up. ‘ Please, sir. Don’t arrest her. Please, forgive me. ‘ You are begging for a woman who dragged your name. ‘ I know what she did was wrong, but please, leave her. This shop is all she has. Please, forgive me. It’s the devil’s work. ‘ You are begging for a woman who called you a criminal.

‘ Yes, sir. Because I know what it means to have nothing. Please, just leave her. ‘ At least raise your voice now in this market and apologize. Tell the world you accused her wrongly. ‘ Sir, it’s not necessary. True identity never hide itself. Please, forgive me. I was wrong. ‘ [gasps] ‘ Please, forgive me. I beg you both.

Please, forgive me. ‘ ‘ ‘ Hello, barrister. Please, I hope you’re heading towards my uncle’s shop. I’m on my way now. ‘ Yes Princess Catherine, I’m going there now. ‘ They want to spoil my big day. ‘ Good afternoon ma’am, ready to depart? ‘ Yes, thank you. ‘ Of course. ‘ Thank you. ‘ Get in. We are moving.

‘ Where are we going, sir? ‘ Somewhere you will not have to kneel for anybody again. ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ So you’re the one that wants to put shame to me on my big day. LIKE I WILL LITERALLY be disappointed that day and you came to my uncle? Did you see how God just exposed you? Who did this on purpose? How dare [screaming] you? ‘ That’s enough. That’s enough. Let’s wait

here. I thought you called her to come before you. ‘ They will learn the hard way. None of them is leaving. Do you walk into your mother’s shop, the shop she built with her hands, the shop she has sacrificed her life for and you stole from it. Not because you were hungry, not because you were desperate, but because you were lazy and greedy and you thought nobody would trace it back to you.

‘ I needed money. I was going to replace it before anyone noticed. ‘ Replace it? My uncle bought that fabric in Dubai. Can you afford it? Do you know the worth of that fabric you are holding? ‘ Do you know what that tells me about you? It tells me you are not just dishonest. You are careless. And careless men are the most dangerous kind because they destroy things without even realizing they are doing it.

‘ Nathan, Nathan, what is what have you done? ‘ Mama, please I can explain. ‘ Explain? Explain? Explain what? When the milk has been split already. I have been in that market since 5:00 this morning defending our family name. I sent away that girl, that innocent girl. I disgraced her. ‘ Please, Chief Suleman.

 I’m so sorry, sir. Your royal highness, please find enough place in your heart to forgive I and my son. Please forgive us. ‘ You were out there embarrassing that young lady, but the thief was eating from your pot and sleeping under your roof every single night. I don’t want an apology from you, Madam Comfort. All I ask is look at that girl.

‘ I need to change this cloth before I go anywhere. Have you eaten today? ‘ No, sir. ‘ I will take you to my place and change my clothes, then we’ll go get some food. Don’t be scared, okay? I think you should call your parents or your guidance. ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ I will rush in to change and come out. Wait in the car for me.

 Relax, it is just a house. ‘ Okay, sir. ‘ You know I’m still a young and single man. I don’t want temptation, so stay out here in the car and wait for me the next 10 minutes. I will freshen up and come out. Relax, it is just a house. Okay, sir. Princessy, I am genuinely sorry. I did not know. I swear on everything I have built.

 Please, whatever it costs, I will pay it back. Every couple, just please. Did you call your son to ask if he’s with the fabric? No, I never did that. Please forgive. Oh, you know she’s a nobody, so she’ll be treated anyhow. I just learned something from all this as an about to wed lady. Never to assume and protect my children when they are wrong because I I to protect a family name.

No, everything is happening so fast. What is going on? I cannot hold anything that is happening, Lord. I hope I’m safe here. Hello, Mama. No, I’m not fine. I do not want your money, and I do not want your apology. Someone needs it more. The girl, Ada, that is who you owe, not me, not my uncle, her.

 You took something from that lady today. That money cannot fix easily. Her name in public ‘ in front of people who will remember. ‘ Please, sir, drop the restitution agreement. Full training fees return to Ada’s family. You will refund her training fee, doubled, and a formal written apology, signed, dated, and delivered to her personally and the market chairman.

As for your son, as for him, my uncle will decide what happens to him. That is not my department. ‘ Understood. ‘ Something is happening. I’ll explain when I see you. Ada, Ada, where are you? I have been calling you since morning. What is happening? Mama, calm down. I’m fine. You are fine? Someone from the market called me and said that Madam Comfort chased you out of her shop.

 They said she called you a thief in front of everybody in the market. A thief? Oh, God. But she later apologized to me in the market, Mama. I didn’t steal anything. You know me, I can’t do such. I know my child. I know you. But, Ada, the training fee. We used everything. Your father’s life savings. If you cannot go back there, what are we going to do about your training? Ada, where will you go? Mama, don’t cry, please. Something happened today.

Someone helped me. They are still sorting everything out. Someone helped you? Who? Ada, who is this person? Where are you right now? Mama, I am safe. I will explain everything when I get home. Just pray for me, okay? Just pray. ‘ [laughter] ‘ What a day. I really saw hell today. I’m tired and hungry. ‘ [snorts] ‘ Madam Comfort, please stand up.

 Begging will not solve this now. But, please, I beg you. ‘ Listen, Madam. ‘ I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. ‘ Young man, listen. I am going to give you exactly two options, and you will choose one before you leave this room tonight. ‘ Option one, the lawyer contacts the police right now. You will be arrested, charged for theft, and taken to prison.

And everything that happens after that, your name, your future, your mother’s shop, you will be erased from this world. Option two, tomorrow morning you will walk into that same market, shop by shop, stall by stall, from the first trader to the last, like an evangelist preaching. And you will tell every single one of the traders, with your own mouth, that you stole this fabric from your mother’s shop.

Make sure it is documented, video of yourself doing it, and your mother will be behind you. I want witnesses present, and Ada must be there to hear every word with her own ears. You both took her dignity in that market. You will give it back in front of people, same place. Those are your two options.

 Now, choose, young man. ‘ Don’t look at me. You caused this. ‘ ‘ ‘ I choose the market. I will go to the market. I will tell them what I did. ‘ [crying] ‘ Please, lawyer, hope everything happening is being recorded. He just accepted in case they change it tomorrow. Let this serve as a lesson to many parents. ‘ Yes, Princess Catherine, everything happening here is on record.

Take him home, and make sure he’s in that market tomorrow, early, before the traders set up. And inform that lady to be present when he arrives. If both of you tries to act funny, we have your details and your permanent home address. ‘ Oh, I’ve really wasted time. She will be tired by now. ‘ Oh, yeah, mommy.

‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ Good evening, my sweet grandpa. Obinna, where are you today? You were supposed to come yesterday and visit me as you promised. ‘ I’m sorry, grandpa. Something came up today. I will come this weekend. I promise this time. ‘ Something always comes up, always giving excuses, work, business, something.

 You are always running ‘ Grandpa, that’s not true. ‘ Listen, Obinna. Don’t shout at me. I am an old man talking to his grandson and only survivor. Listen quietly as I talk to you. Don’t interrupt me, young man. ‘ Truly life is in stages and all fingers are not equal indeed. Look at the luxury this man that helped me today lived in and still he accepted to share in my shame at the market.

‘ I lost your parents in a ghastly motor accident. I have told you this story countless times. Your dad was my only son. You were just 5 years when this happened. From that day it is only you and myself left in this family building my empire. Only you. ‘ I groomed you and watched you build Daikies Oil and Gas Group of Companies.

Investors, big cars, big title, chief this, CEO that. But Obinna, who are you building it for if I leave? Answer me. ‘ Take note, son. A man with nobody to come home to stand by his side after the day’s stress, someone to inherit his her wealth is just a man in an empty house. I will never be here forever, my son.

Who will take our legacy, our wealth? I want to hold your children before God calls me. Is that too much for an old man to ask? ‘ No, sir. It’s not too much. I had a bad experience today, Grandpa. ‘ Aha, I knew it. What is it? Were you hurt? ‘ No, Grandpa. Just an annoying woman ill-treating her apprentice.

 I intervened. The lady is waiting for me outside my house. That’s so good of you, my son. Please, when you’re coming this weekend, bring her with you. ‘ Grandpa. ‘ Then stop running. Open your eyes. Sometimes what God sends into your life does not come the way you expect it. Sometimes it comes in the middle of a rough road when you least expect it.

Have you eaten? ‘ I am going to eat now, actually. Before your call came in. ‘ That’s good, but remember to come and see me this weekend. Don’t come alone. ‘ Yes, Grandpa. I will come. ‘ Open your eyes. Search and settle down. Investors respect and trust a man with a family. That is all I am saying. ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ I’m sorry I wasted so much time.

 Are you okay? ‘ I’m okay, just that I’m tired. ‘ I will make it up to you, okay? Let’s go. Hope you’ve called your parents or guardians. ‘ Called my mom. Spoke with her at the car. ‘ Okay, that’s fine. Just don’t panic, okay? Is it just you and your parents? ‘ Yes, sir. I lost my dad 5 years ago. Just me and my poor mom.

‘ I’m so, sorry. Please, take this juice. I didn’t know it was in the car. I would have given it to you before going in to change. My bad. ‘ No, thank you, sir. ‘ Please, Adah, see me as a brother and a friend. How old are you? ‘ I will be 22 this July. ‘ Are you serious? That means I’m your dad. ‘ Sir, how old are you? ‘ I’m an old man.

 This December 2026 will make me 30 years old. How have you been able to cope with that, your madam? She’s so annoying. Didn’t you see what she did to me? ‘ That’s what I’ve been saying from her for the past 3 years of my training with her. Isn’t 3 years too much? ‘ She don’t have time to teach you properly. ‘ I want you to step your feet there never again. I’m here for you.

 If you want to go to university, I will train you. If you want a fashion shop, I will rent it for you and employ you as a worker and trainer. ‘ Hmm, sir, I don’t know you. My mom says men don’t give gifts for free. What do you want, sir? ‘ Easy. Young woman, I treat ladies right. Although today is our first day, it feels like we’ve known each other for years.

 I just feel comfortable talking to you. ‘ Thank you so much, sir, for standing by me throughout today. I really appreciate. ‘ Enough of this, sir. You’re making me look old. ‘ A man of almost 30 is an old man, so I’ll keep calling you, sir. ‘ Don’t dare. So, is that a yes, My Adah? Please. ‘ Sir, I’m not your class at all. Your parents might not like a lowlife like me.

 I don’t know what it feels like to be in love. Everything is just happening too fast. ‘ Because this is a time for you to settle down, don’t you know? ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ Sir, everything here is too expensive. Please, let’s forget this. When I get to my house, I will cook something and even give you.

 Just one of the food on this menu is worth more than my entire community. ‘ You have been taking options since you were 21. Let me add the spark in this year clocking in at 22. Just choose anything. I will pay for it. ‘ Please, I hope I can pay for all these. I don’t know what you want to. ‘ Don’t worry. ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ Hello, madam.

Please, Adah, I want to see you in my shop tomorrow morning, 8:00 a.m. Please come. It’s urgent. ‘ Your shop? What happened again, ma’am? ‘ What’s the problem? Who was that that called you? ‘ It is my madam again. She requested I come tomorrow morning by 8:00 a.m. I don’t know what she wants. ‘ Don’t panic.

 I’ll take you there tomorrow morning. ‘ Thank you. ‘ Eat fast. It’s getting late. I’ll take you home before we visit my grandpa after we finish with your madam tomorrow morning. ‘ Your grandpa? I don’t think he would like me. I’m a nobody and I don’t have any clothes to wear to such high-class personality. ‘ Leave everything to me.

 By tomorrow morning, we will see how it’s going to be. I want to see your house and your mom this night. ‘ Sir. ‘ Don’t call me sir. Call me Obinna or Obinkem. ‘ Okay, Obinna. Dinner was lovely. Thank you. ‘ I’m glad. Let’s go. Your door. ‘ Thank you. Cold drinks, FRESH WATER. BUY NOW. WOW, the streets are so alive.

 Are we being followed? ‘ I don’t think so. Stay calm. ‘ That car behind us is getting closer. ‘ Hold on. ‘ I’m taking a detour. ‘ Be careful. ‘ Everything okay? ‘ Look out! On the right! STOP THE CAR! ‘ WHAT is it? [screaming] ‘ STOP THE CAR! NOW! SHOOT HIM! I’M SHOOTING! GO! ‘ It’s getting tougher than we thought.
