Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 17
The Twin Pregnancy Episode Seventeen
When Ebere entered the living room with the tray of corn in her hands, she saw that Fredo was no longer around. Fredo had left the compound because he received a phone call from a friend who asked him to come over due to an emergency. However, his driver was waiting to collect the corn on his behalf.
"He said I should collect it and bring to him at home. He was supposed to have a meeting with a friend. That was why he left. Please, pour the corn into this bag for me. Don't worry, he will still eat it at home." The driver said as he opened a bag asking Nene's aunt to pour the corn. She poured the corn into the bag and the driver left.
"I hope he still eats it. This is an important opportunity which I cannot allow to slip by. Why did he leave? I was thinking he will stay here and eat the corn so that he would die here and Nene would be implicated. Well, wherever he eats the corn is not my business. All I want is that the marriage should not take place. This is all I want to achieve. I cannot be alive and see Nene marry the president's son. I will make sure this doesn't happen and I hope the corn would help me achieve that aim." Nene's aunt said. At that time, Nene had gone to her shop to inspect the business since had been long he went there, and her mother was in the bedroom looking after the babies which was why Ebere was the only one in the living room.
After the driver left the compound, he called Fredo on the phone and told him he had collected the corn and that he was brining it home. However, Fredo said the corn must have been cold and that there was no need bringing it to him anymore.
.
"Please, you can go home and eat it with your family. Besides, I'm not at home at the moment. I'm still at my friend's place and there is no way for the corn to remain hot until I return. So please, just go and enjoy it with your family when you close from work. I will buy and another corn and have it boiled for me tomorrow." Fredo said to his driver. At that time, night was already fallen and it was getting close to when the driver would close from work. He drover Fredo's car to his house, packed it there and went home.
"This night is a good night. I will not have to worry about what my family will eat. This corn would be enough for us. In fact, we will not even finish it. By tomorrow morning, we will warm the remaining one and eat. Fredo is such a nice man. Let me rush home and enjoy the corn with my wife and children." The driver said as he boarded a taxi and left. Soon, he was home with his family. The driver has three children and they were always happy to welcome him back from work. Every day when he returns from work, he usually bring gifts or something to eat for them. So, they were always eager to collect his bag. But before his children would touch the bag, his wife had already collected it and opened it. She was happy to see that her husband brought corn home.
"It is as if you knew what I was craving. I wanted to eat roasted corn, but will manage the boiled one regardless." His wife said. They gathered around their dinning table and started eating the corn. They ate the corn to their satisfaction and went to bed. They did not wake up the next morning.
When it was daybreak, Fredo waited for his driver to come over and pick him up, but he did not show up.
"This is unusual. My driver has never failed to come to work for the past six years that he has been driving me. This is the first time that this kind of a thing is happening. He has been consistently coming to work and never missed any day. Even on days that he did not come, he called and gave me notice before hand. Today, I'm calling his number and he is not taking his calls. His wife as well is not picking calls. What is going on? I think I need to check on him and his family to make sure everything is fine with them." Fredo said. He picked up his car keys and drove to his driver's house. When he got there, he saw that the door of the apartment was tightly locked.
"What is going on? Are they still sleeping or what? But how can they be sleeping up to this moment? Are the children not supposed to go to school?" Fredo asked himself. He knocked at the door repeatedly but no one answered or opened. He was at the house alone without his police officers.
"I think I need to open the door with force. They may be in danger." Fredo said to himself as he kicked the door and it opened. He checked the living room but saw no one. He decided to check the bedrooms. It was a two-bedroom apartment. While the driver used one with his wife, his three children lived in the remaining one. When he opened the first door, he came face to face with the dead bodies of his driver and his wife.
"My God! What happened to them." Fredo asked himself. He initially thought they were sleeping, but confirmed they were dead when he touched them and they did not move. He went to the second room and saw his driver's three children all lying lifeless.
"This is serious! What happened?" Fredo was scared and confused. He rushed out of the room and then called the police.
