It was later i realised that Dad asked for ten days, not for punishment but for recuperation. He hadn't gone back to work but was at home, spending time with mom and ignoring me. More like avoiding.
"I'm here, sugar." I scoffed. Sugar.
"Wait for me outside. You with a driver?"
"Yup."
"Tell him to leave. I drop you off later." I hung up on her, searched for my wallet and went downstairs with it when I found it. "Mom, I am going out!"
"Be back early!"
"Where's he going to?" I ran out before he would stop me. I had already gotten mom's permission. I drove my car outside the mansion and I saw Tiana outside the gates taking selfies.
"Tiana!" I beeped twice. She walked majestically to the passenger seat and slid in.
"Guy, you look- Jesus Christ. Your father is mean." She saw the marks on my arms. "He didn't ruin your fine face at least." He just didn't do much damage there.. She would have run if he had. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
"So, where are we going?"
"Go pick someone up." Actually we were going to the orphanage as I hadn't visited for some time. And I wanted to take Wealth out before he forgot my face.
"Who? We've been going for 45 minutes."
"We're here." I drove into the gates and parked.
"An orphanage? Seriously? Guy." I frowned then shrugged it off. "Thought we were going on a date or something."
"You want to go somewhere?" She nodded. "With me?" She nodded again. For a moment, I thought she looked kinda cute. "You choose. But here first." She placed a peck on my lips.

"Daddy!" He didn't forget. How wonderful. He ran towards me and I carried him up.
"Wealth. My boy." Children were easily distracted. He was now pulling on my headband. "Stop stop." My hair was suffering.
"You have a kid, Ebenezer?" Tiana had been looking at the kids running around. "With who?"
"Guess."
"Vivian." I nodded and she laughed. "Stop kidding yourself." Her eyes were on Wealth. I had plans of adopting this boy when Chioma turned eighteen. Wealth Isong. It sounded nice. Dad wouldn't allow as he treasured close blood ties. But I did not care. Wealth Isong was going to be my first child with her...
"Daddy! Mommy?"
"Not here. She'll be back soon. " I beckoned a nurse who had come over. "Get him ready. We're going out." She nodded and carried a crying Wealth away. I waved at him and then asked for the orphanage's report.
"Don't tell me you own an orphanage. So unlike you."
"Chioma's. I just help her." Wow. She whispered in awe.
"So nice of her." I nodded I agreement. She was silent afterwards and I carefully went through the reports asking questions and making corrections. "Your son is here." I nodded and finished up quickly.
