Chapter 203
~It is my fight. I am the man~
At Ken’s mansion everywhere was lively and bubbling with live music and innumerable guests that hovered all over the place and exchanged pleasantries with the bride and the groom, as well as friends and family.
Jacy was tucked to a corner, observing as Ken was exchanging pleasantries with friends and associates when Blueeyes appeared at her side, “Hi mom, I am pleased to see you,” he said and hugged her.
“Oh my goose, that is my baby,” Jacy said, catching him in a hug and stroking his long hair. “Where have you been I have been on the lookout for you, hoping I would see you?”
Blueueys rolled his eyes as his countenance fell greatly and his face bowed.
“What is it, son?” Jacy asked, knowing either Ken or Mrs. Fanny must have rattled his cage, “Talk to me, big daddy. Did anybody pull you up a wall?” she asked , stroking his hair to pacify him before she squatted to him to notice he was already all tears, “Come on wipe your tears, baby , mom is here now. But I want you to tell me what is responsible for the tears. If you don’t tell me, we can’t bring a permanent solution to it.”
Blueeyes breathed hard, “Dad has been harsh to me since I came into this town. He banned me from going to school, attending parties and public functions, shopping and all that…”
He was yet speaking when Jacy cut in, “Why?” she asked “Why would he do such a thing. I want you to talk to me so I can cancel Christmas on his damn ass.”
Bluueyes sniffed, losing interest in saying the reason Ken grounded him, because he thought Jacy might scold him, and put the blame on him. “I…I called his mistress names. I called her bitch because I was pissed that she took your place in the heart of dad,” he explained further thinking that Jacy was going to scold him.
Jacy widened her gaze at him, “Just that. I know you did the wrong thing but what is she if not a bitch? She charmed your dad into marrying her and then your dad abandoned us. Only a bitch can do that,” she said, held him on the cheeks and said, “This is a battle I don’t want you to get mettle with, OK. I want you to be out of this fight. This is my fight…” she said and was interrupted by his crimson face which scowled at her.
He shook his head and said, “Come on, mom. This is my fight too. I should be in charge of this fight not you. I am the man,” he said and hit his chest in assurance.
She stroked his soft fragile cheeks and spoke into his face, “Drop it son, you are only but a kid. What do you know? I don’t want you to get hurt. For now I have come to take you home…”
Blueeyes shook his head in disapproval, “No,no, mom why would you do such a thing? I am not going back anymore. I have lost interest in returning home,” he cried.
She wiped his tears and peered into his face to hear him clearly because the noise from the live music and murmuring of guests was stopping her from hearing clearly, “Talk to me, son why are you all tears?”
Blueyes let a breath of relief and rolled his eyes, “I want to remain here until I win this battle. I want to prove to dad that you are a better wife for him than that witch. I just want to prove dad wrong and make him regret all the evil he has meted against us.”
“What do you intend to do, son? I don’t want you to get hurt. You are all I have got. I will never be happy with you if you should ever get hurt. It is better you join me home where I know you will be happy and safe, OK. I am not getting pregnant again and I am not going to have another Blueeyes . If you should get into trouble and put me into perpetual nightmares, I am going to lose my senses and go crazy trust me.”
“Listen up, mom, Ok,” he said, and held her on the face, “I am still planning what I will unleash on them, but trust me it is for good and it will bring dad back into your arms.”
“Oh stop the crap, son. I don’t need any man in my declining life anymore because I am contented with life right now. I have all that men can ever offer. I got a son, a life ahead of me, also money. I am not going to suffer in any way. Men are nothing to me now, son. All I am after is giving you a future…”
Blueeyes cut in, “This is the future, mom. I don’t know what other future you are talking about but this is the future,” he pointed at Ken, who was busy exchanging pleasantries with guests. “He is the only man I can call dad. I have no other. But something tells me that bitch has been deceiving him all along and if I don’t act now I am closer to them nothing is going to change. You will remain defeated, and down all your life. I am not telling you to marry him, all I ask is that you let me pull this Goliath down so you can chop off his head.”
All along Jacy had been staring at Ken with her dark eyes. The frown on her face even scared Blueeyes that he wondered what she would do, if she should confront him.
He knew something was fishy in the union between Ken and Mrs. Fanny but he couldn’t fathom what it was now until strategy was ripe. He needed evidence in every of his actions. He wouldn’t want to go about his revenge on Mrs. Fanny without a prove. It was just a matter of time Ken would know the deceitful woman he married. One of his strategies was to expose Mrs. Fanny of her secrets which she knew she had lots of them, also to bring back his mother, Jacy back to the arms of Ken. He knew it wasn’t going to be easy but he planned to execute vengeance upon Mrs. Fanny.
“Hold on son. We are going to discuss more about your decisions to stay back but for now I got to cancel Christmas on his damn ass for keeping you grounded,” Jacy said, gnashed her teeth and advanced to Ken.
“Mom be careful. Don’t do anything stupid,” Blueeyes warned staring at her but seemed to have lost sight of her in the crowd…
CHAOS!!!
