CHAPTER Eighty Six
The day was dark and it had taken Jeffery ten hours to return back to Kansas family, to meet up with his family, who he hadn’t seen for close to seven months.
Knocking on the door of his matrimonial home, Jeffery expected his wife to be elated, upon seeing her but when the door opens, the happy face of Sharon; Jeffery’s wife, morphed into one of scowl.
“Won’t you allow me come in?” Jeffery asked after seeing that his wife, was obstructing his path to the living room.
Sharon hesitated, before stepping aside for her husband to step into the house. Jeffery noticed that there had been a few changes made to the house. Some of these changes, include the fact that there had been a new interior design, which had been made to suit the living room’s beauty. There hadn’t been a word from his wife, when he entered the house, and it got him all worried.
He tried to break the uneasy silence, but his wife stood up to her feet and exit the living room, causing Jeffery, to stare at her living, in surprise.
He was stunned that his wife had disrespected her and one part of him felt like going to confront her but another insisted that he stayed out and wait for the night to fully come, so they could talk properly.
While still admiring the interior of the living room, his gaze fell in something familiar; a portrait of his wife and his only son Jamal. These was taken last year and they both looked happy.
Jeffery, suddenly realized that he was supposed to be part of this picture. He wondered what had happened that his face was erased and left with only his wife and child.
“The moment you left this family, for seven month amd didn’t even give us a call, I knew that you were not the man that I thought loved his family” The words of his wife, caught his ear and he turned back to stare at her.
“What are you talking about?”
“You left me and Jamal, for seven good month, no phone calls, no text message and not even a mail nor a message to probably send to one of your friends to deliver for us. You left us in the dark for all these months” Jeffery felt guilty as each of his wife words hit him like an arrow.
“I am sorry”
“Ofcourse, that is all I know you will probably say; a freaking sorry. You know who is more sorry? Me. I am sorry that I had to even see that you were going to be the man of my dreams, the man that would put his family first before anything. It turns out that clearly, you are not that type of man” With that being said, Sharon left the room, trying to hold back her tears from falling.
Jeffery on the other hand, didn’t say nor do anything than just stare into space. He knew deep down that every thing his wife had said to him, he deserved it.
He had placed his career first before his family and now, he is reaping the seed he had sowed on the land.
*******
It was a bright day at the Maverick squared hall, as the it was the day for the presidential debate between Buddy and Tina.
Tina had been going through all her manager was telling her and was trying to make sure, she grasp everything with ease.
“Alright, listen madam, this debate would be one of the factors that would determine whether or not you would win this election. It is no doubt that we are lagging behind, in terms of campaign, but I need you to understand that the moment the people, know that you have a well structured plan, they would back you up” Tina listened to everything and did not get distracted by any of it.
“Excuse me ma’am, the debate starts in five” One of the correspondent for the media, came through and informed her.
“Thank you” Tina stated, and went back to listening to what her manager had to say.
“Well, well, well, who do we have here” Both Tina and her manager, turned around to meet up with Buddy, who was smirking evily at her.
“It’s quite a shame really, a worthy opponent would have been much better than having to go on a debate with a woman, especially this woman” All of Buddy’s campaign team laughed, earning a glare from Tina, who had found nothing he said amusing.
“I would have loved to wish you good luck at the poles but I guess, luck has already left your side and has decided to stick with me” Tina, stepped forward to stare at Buddy, who stared back at her, a smirk still on his face.
“Your ego is huge enough to build a life camp. But I need you to understand that today at that debate, I would floor you, the same way, I won’t hesitate to wipe your ass at the pole” Buddy was looking uncomfortable but tried to conceal it with a nervous chuckle.
“You should try winning the debates first of all, before we can proceed to talk about your win at the pole. You and I know that this is going to be a flawless victory for me” Again Buddy bragged.
“Pride is of the devil”
“And since when did you start talking like the bishop? I never knew you to be an adept christian?” Buddy admitted.
“The fact that i alluded your proud attitude, to that of the devil, doesn’t mean I am an adept christian, it only showed what happens to a man with ego” Buddy smiled and leaned forward
“You can say all you want, you and I know that the rhings that happened in the past, still make you shiver, when you hear my name” Tina looked at him in disbelief, and watvjed him stwpped out towards the auditorium.
*******
“Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome y’all to this amazing edition of the debate, between the two gladiators contesting for the seat of the Presidency. Without further adduce, let us welcome to the stage, Mr. Buddy” He walked gracefully up to the podium and adjusted his microphone.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“And the second candidate is none other than Miss Tina ” Tina could hear the snickering of some of Buddy’s men as she stepped up to the podium.
“Gentleman and ofcourse lady, it is pertinent that this debate, centers around constructive criticism and not to throw shades at each…….” Before the moderator could finish, Buddy interrupted him.
“I am not here to actually do a debate, I am here to do some certain type of revealation, which I believe every citizen of America, should be abreast of the situation” Tina was curious to know what he was hiding behind his sleeves.
“Alright then Mr. Buddy, you should go first” The moderator stated, already getting exaspirated by the interruption.
“Thank you very much. Great people of America, today standing before you, is from a bloodline of fraudulent set of people” Buddy stated, pointing accusation finger at Tina, who looked shocked by his statement.
“Mr. Buddy, you know the rules” the moderator reminded him.
“Who give a damn about such silly rules? Clearly you all don’t see that it is pertinent that i atleast reveal to the whole world, the fraud that stands before you all, in the person of Tina Marco”
“I would not have you calling me such a demeaning name. This is absolutely defamation of character” Tina blew hot at Buddy.
“I am still on my feet Miss Tina and until i am done, the rule states that I should not be Interrupted” Tina saw through Buddy and the games he was playing at. He was trying to get into her head, so people would see that she was not the calm and collected type of person she had claim to be.
“Back to what I was saying, Tina comes from a bloodline of fraudster that I feel the president should have long ago, put into jail. For those of you that don’t know, her family the Elites family, holds the record of having committed artricious act in the entire New York” Tina knew that if the people made their research and also first ever enquired around.
Tina knew that if she doesn’t do anything, she was screwed. The question bothering her heart was what she is capable of doing and not being able to do too.
“Now, with that being said, I need to ask again, would you want a president, whose major target is coming to promote all these qualities I have listened” Having said a long speech, Buddy stepped down from the podium and as he was heading to his seat, he smirked even more at Tina, knowing he had conquered this one.
Everything he had said, Tina knew that it would take her an entire week to have a reply, but then it is pertinent that she be wary of the vices of the evil one.
