Indigo (Shade of a golden heart) - Season 2 - Episode 9

Usman liked her idea but he had a problem with it.

‘Moremi, do you think Phillip would just let you take his land and all his hard work like that? I know him, he never gives up without a fight. It would be very embarrassing for you when the company realizes the land belonged to Phillip. You could even go to jail, that’s why I think my idea is better.I could easily tell the court, which I am a hundred percent sure that Phillip would sue, that the land belonged to me and I have been fighting for it over the years.’

Moremi laughed, Usman did really underestimate her.

‘Come on Usman, I am not a child. This is my profession, I know how things work. I know I stand the risk of going to jail, but I am willing to take that risk. What makes you think that Phillip would take me to court after I trick him to sign the papers?’ She winked.

‘Put yourself in his shoes, you’d do the same thing.’ He said to her.

Moremi shrugged, he had a point.
‘Well, I could only sue the person in question, if I were still alive.’

‘What are you saying?’ Usman understood where she was going, but he just wanted her to say it more clearly.

She rose to her feet and decided that this meeting was over, ‘What I am saying is that, I am willing to take down anyone that stands in the way of my success.’

‘I know I want this land badly, but I will not kill Phillip if that is what you are suggesting.’ Usman snapped at her.

‘He is just a nephew Usman, I am sure you have other nephews.’ She patted him on the shoulder and strolled towards the door.
‘Moremi!’ He called her sharply.

‘Yes?’ She turned with a sweet smile on her face.

He wanted to warn her sternly against doing anything harmful to Phillip, she didn’t know one of his deepest secrets, Phillip was more than a nephew to him and he was everything he had left in this world.

‘Nothing, just be careful.’
‘Good, I am happy we are on the same page.’ She shut the door gently behind her.

He moved back to the bed and grabbed the envelope she had dropped, he pulled out the letter that came with it and scanned the document.

Moremi was telling the truth, “Arnold Mack,” was one of the biggest construction companies in Australia, he couldn’t believe they were coming over to Africa.

‘I guess she has a point.’ He dropped the letter on his lap and reasoned this out. He decided he would let Moremi go on with her plans, because should it fail, she would be the one to pay for her sins.

The pain that had been ebbing away slowly, returned in full measure and he groaned out loud.
‘F--k that b---h! F--k her.’ He screamed and covered his eyes with his palms, hoping the burning s£nsat!on could go away.

His blood was boiling, he was greatly enraged. He couldn’t wait to regain his strength, he would find her and make her life miserable.
Just when he thought he could have some rest, he heard a loud pounding on his door. He had not been expecting anyone, he peeled himself from the bed and rushed towards the door.

When he got there, he was surprised to see Moremi.

‘You’re not gone?’ He asked.
‘No, I saw some rough looking guys, that reminds me, did you send your thugs after the German Supplier who was working with Phillip, Mr. Barf, because Phillip just sent me a text?’
Usman had wanted to lie, but one look at Moremi’s face told him otherwise.

‘Well, I wanted the job to delay a bit. I wanted us to come to a conclusion with our strategy.’ He explained why he had sent thugs after the German.

‘That’s not a good idea! You should’ve told me that and I would have handled it my way. Phillip is so upset; he is threatening to bring in the Police. The German is really afraid and may not work with your nephew anymore.’ She was not pleased with this turnout of events.

‘I am sorry Moremi, I will consult you in future before taking any decision.’ He crossed his heart his hands.

‘Whatever, you even took his phones and money…I guess those men outside your gate are the thugs? I need them to give me everything that belongs to the German. I need to find a way and fix this.’ She complained.

Usman thought she was kidding, ‘that’s not going to be possible, my thugs work in Ghana, and I don’t know the men outside the gate.’ He explained to her.

Just as they were talking, a tall and light skinned man walked into the compound in the company of two sturdy men.

‘So who are they?’ Moremi asked.
‘Um…’Usman froze as his eyes met with the man in the middle of the sturdy men.

‘I have to go, Phillip wants to see me now, see you later.’ She rushed past the men towards her car.

Usman couldn’t believe his eyes. It seemed like he was in a bad dream, trying so hard to wake up, but yet still, he was trapped.

‘Hello there old friend.’ The man smiled puckishly at Usman.
‘What are you doing here Nkosi?’ Usman scowled.

‘Well, I just came visiting, I thought I should see you.’ Nkosi replied.

‘Get out of my house and don’t ever come back!’ Usman yelled and pointed at the gate.
Nkosi exchanged glances with the men, and they all burst out with laughter, which confused Usman greatly.

‘I am not joking.’

‘Of course, you never knew how to crack jokes. That was the reason you told me to shoot your brother’s wife instead of your brother, before I finally got the joke, she was already dead and you hated me for it.’

Phillip had never been this stressed for a long time. He had to battle with the different emotions that ran through him. He had just discovered that Uncle Usman, the man he had chosen to oversee the renovation project was his father. Barf’s attack didn’t make it any easier for him.

‘I told you stop thinking about Barf Phil, we are lucky the German escaped unhurt. The Police should get here right now. I have a feeling someone who knows about this project is seriously fighting against its actualization.’ Chalya said to her brother.

They’d been going over his schedule for the week when she noticed that forlorn and sad look in his eyes.

‘The Police are not coming,’ Phillip sighed.
‘Why?’ She was surprised, as they had already discussed what was best for this situation.

‘I told Moremi about the case, and she assured me that she would handle it once she gets here. I don’t know what she is planning, but I feel I should listen to her. Remember, that she is my lawyer.’ Phillip replied.

Chalya scoffed, and dropped her pen; she couldn’t believe what her brother had just said.
‘Your partner was almost killed by some thugs for working with you and all you can do is wait for Moremi…is she waving a charm over your head, because I am starting to doubt if you are really yourself.’ Chalya was angry with her brother, she had expected more from him.

Phillip knew his sister never got along with Moremi, he understood why she reacted that way.
