THE CONTRACT

CHAPTER ONE

"What insolence!", " What do you guys take me for!”, Mr Harrison yelled.

“We are sorry sir”, Mr Wilson apologized. “Keep those fake apologies to yourself, I do not need them".

"I'm calling off the contract”. "I don't wanna work with such a company as yours”, With that he stormed out.

“ Mr. Harrison….Mr Harrison”, Mr Wilson called out but he was long gone, his bodyguards trailing behind him.

Mr. Harrison angrily banged his hand on the table. "Shit!". "Calm down honey", His wife said.

There was a sudden knock on the door. "Come in" , He said, taking his seat.

His secretary stepped in shortly. “ Good day sir, a man in his middle fifty has requested to see you, he says he has a deal to offer”, She said.

Mr. Wilson slowly adjusted his glasses. “Let him in”, He said .

“Yes", “Right away", The secretary nodded and soon she was out of the office.

"What could, the deal be about, I hope it's a great fortune”, Mrs. Wilson beamed.

“Of course it will," Mr. Wilson said. The door opened up.

A man walked in briefly, he sat just opposite Mr. Wilson.

"Good day". "Good day", They exchanged greetings.

"I would like us to be business partners, but first I would like to make a deal with you”, He said a smirk dangling on his lips.

“A deal worth Fifty million naira”, He added. Mr. Wilson's mood brightened up immediately.

Mrs. Wilson's eyes widened, "Fifty million naira?!", She voiced out, not able to stop herself.

"We already have a deal", she said walking towards the man.

"I'm sorry. I didn't catch your name" , Mr. Wilson drawled.

"Taylor He replied. " Kindly overlook my wife's behavior, she is just too excited”, He defended.

“Oh no!, I like her intuition", He smiled. " So Mr. Wilson, I want a one night stand with one of your daughters tonight for 50 million naira”. “Do we have a deal?”.

Mr. Wilson eyes widened. "A one night stand with my daughter?", He raised his voice.

"We have a deal",”Mrs. Wilson shook hands with him. " Let me see you off then", She added, urging him to get out.

" Can I have your ID?, I would contact you?”, She said immediately he got to the door. “Sure”, Mr. Taylor smiled.

“What was that about?", “Why didn't you let me give him a piece of my own mind!", He yelled.

“What piece of your mind?", She asked. “You almost ruined things for us", She added. “What do you mean my that?", Mr. Wilson eyes furrowed at her, his anger was evident.

“I mean let's take a look at things, we both know we are suffering a great loss in the company, we are going broke financially".

“Fifty million, have you thought about how far that can go?", She asked.

“So as to stake Mia for it??", He aked. " Ofcourse not”. “Mia is too delicate for that", She added

" I'm talking about Eleanor”, She said almost in a whisper. Mr. Wilson took his gaze to her almost immediately, she could swear she hadn't seen him that angry before.

"Eleanor”, He repeated. A smile suddenly spread accross his lips. " Deal”.

" Great choice”, Mrs. Wilson smiled. She picked up the ID card and dialled Mr. Taylor’s number.

" So we've decided, Where do you want her to come? “, She asked.

" Paradise hotel 9pm”, He said. " And the money? “, She asked.

" I will be making the deposit to you right away if you agree to give the girl 50% of the money”, His voice rang through the phone.

Mrs. Wilson stared at her husband who nodded at her. ‘Why does have to get lucky each time”, She cursed under her breathe.

" Of ourse Mr. Taylor”, Her voice sounded sweet. " Guess we have deal then? “, He asked.

" Yes deal”.

“ Good day sir", “Welcome sir", The workers bowed immediately he walked past them but all their greetings got ignored.

His secretary rushed to him almost immediately. “Good day sir", She greeted even though she knew she wasn't getting any response.

“What are my schedule for today?", He asked. “A contract with the G&L company, reviewing the work of last week and a contract signing with the FYB company at the paradise hotel at exactly 9pm", She read out from the book she held.

“Good, go get me my coffee", He said. " Yes sir”, She bowed walking away briskly. The bodyguard opened the door immediately he got near." Good day sir”, He bowed, just like the rest he also got ignored.

He walked into his office, sitting on his chair softly, he picked up one of the file on his desk. It was time to get to work.

8pm

" Welcome back mom”, " Welcome back dad”, Mia clapped her hands.

" How you been sweetheart”, ,Mr. Wilson patted her head. " Good”, She beamed.

" Where's your sister?”, He asked. Mia’s mood suddenly dropped. " Why are you looking for that girl dad”, Mia frowned.

" I need to get something done”, He said brushing past her. " Dad!”, Mia yelled.

"Calm down sweetheart, Your dad needs to get to work”. " He needs to get things done for us”, Mrs. Wilson smirked.

**

A soft knock came in. " Come in”, An angelic voice replied. Mr. Wilson pushed the door open, walking in.

" Good evening dad”, She bowed her head. " Bless you child”, Mr. Wilson smiled at her.

" How have you been? “, He asked. " I'm good Dad”, She smiled.

" It's your birthday in a 5days, so I've decided to come pay you a visit", He started.

" Thanks Dad”, She beamed." You know Eleanor", He sighed.

“Your mom asked me to give you something for your birthday", He said. “What?", She asked.

He suddenly brought his phone typing in some digit it. Not long after Eleanor phone beeped with a message.

She raised her phone to stare at it , her eyes widening. “25 million dollars?", She mouthed in shock.

“Where did you get so much money from?", “And why would you give this to me", She asked.

“Your mom asked me to", “And she also asked me to give you that on your 25th birthday", He explained.

" I wouldn't be around and you know I have to fulfil your late mother's wish, it was her last wish”, He nodded.

Eleanor stared at her father, her eyes filled with tears, she hugged him almost immediately.

“Thank you Dad", She said. “Hey girl, stop crying I said there is no crying when dad’s around", Eleanor nodded briefly wiping off her tears, she gave a bright smile.

Mr. Wilson suddenly brought out a wine bottle from his bag, “Let's celebrate", He half yelled.

Eleanor smiled. Mr. Wilson placed the wine on the floor, bringing out two glass cups l, he carefully poured some drink into both.

With one glance at Eleanor, seeing she was distracted, he added the liquid in the little bottle he held. He kept the bottle immediately.

Raising the glass to Eleanor. “Cheers!", They both clicked their glass together. Mr. Wilson watched Eleanor take the glass to her lips slowly a smirk plastered on his face.

With one last glance at the cup, she gulped everything down in a goal.

Eleanor suddenly felt dizzy, her head spinning. “What is it dear", Mr. Wilson asked seeing how she kept shaking her head.

“Nothing father", She replied trying to get up. But immediately she did, she lost her balance and fell flat on the bed unconscious.

The door swung open immediately, Mrs. Wilson walking, Mia and one other guy walking in.

“The deed is about to go down", Mrs. Wilson sounded.

" Now that she's down, how do we get her to the hotel?”, Ethan asked.

" Through teleporting “, Mr. Wilson demonstrated. " Are you getting dummer and dummer each and every second?”, He half-yelled.

“I'm sorry father", He bowed his head. " Come on “, Mrs. Wilson waved off. " You shouldn't be so harsh on him, he was probably confused, he might be as smart as Mia but, trust me darling, he is one of the best “, She smiled.

" Aren't you my little bunny? “, She asked sweetly. " I am, Thanks mom”, Ethan flashed her a smile.

Mr. Wilson sighed briefly. " Raise her up and carry her to the car, then You drive off to the hotel ofcourse”, He said.

Ethan bent slowly to carry her up, he slowly lifted her up grunting loudly, suddenly his leg slipped, he landed right on the floor with a loud thud, Eleanor's head slowly resting on his tigh.

“Haaaaa!!", He screamed loudly. “Shut the fuck up!!", Mr. Wilson yelled.

“ That's how he goes to prove how smart he is", He was referring to Mrs. Wilson.

He bent down and in a swift motion he lifted Eleanor up in a bridal style.

“Go open the car door", He said walking out.

Mia stared at Ethan, he was in so much pain and didn't seem like anyone that would get up any soon, with no other thought, she rushed after her father.

She slowly opened the door. Mr. Wilson laid her on the seat slowly. He shut the door to see Mrs. Wilson standing right next to him.

“I will be taking her", She said. “ Mo… ", Mia eyes widened.

“Are you sure?", He asked. “Are you worries about me or doubting me".

“Dear hubby we both know u get the work perfectly done with no stains", She smiled collecting the car keys.

“Ok, be careful", Mr. Wilson gave a not- so- happy smile.

“Don't worry about me", She said sliding into the driver seat. She ignited the key in the ignition, twisting it sideways a bit which turned on the engine and soon the car zoomed off.
