Chapter 3

June rushed to her and called for help from the neighbors, she cried out shaking her mother to wake up but it seems like her body was already getting cold.

"Help me someone", she kept on crying and the neighbors were attracted by her voice. Rushing to the yard to see what was happening, they found Morgan on the ground with her mother on her laps.

" What happened?", a lady asked looking all frightened but Morgan trembling with tears running down her eyes, explained that her mother had to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible. The two men who were present, saw a truck passing by and they had to stop it to take her mom to the nearest hospital. She could not stop crying and all she could think of now was how to raise the money that will be asked at the hospital.

"Quick Sir, let's move fast", she murmured holding her mother's hands and caressing her hair. She was all she had left and there was no way she was letting her die at least not so soon.

" Welcome, Sir", the maid spoke out and Axel not being in the mood to talk to anyone, walked past her while heading to the stairs to get to his room. But suddenly, a voice spoke to him from behind asking him to stop right where he was.

"Where do you think you are going to?", his mother yelled out in the dark walking wards him from the darkness. Axel turned his head to the direction where the voice was coming from and identified the speaker as his mom,

" Hi mom, how was your day?", he asked taking a step backward but his mother disregarded his greetings and the word that she uttered was,

"Have you finally decided to marry Miranda?", she asked.

Letting out a deep sigh, he told his mother that he needed to have some rest but his answer was not what Mrs. Hunter was awaiting so going closer to her son, she said,

" Do you even know what is at stake here Axel?", she raised a question drinking the whiskey she was holding in her hands. She was a domineering mother who had become an alcoholic after the death of her husband. All she wanted was his wealth and knowing that she had never loved him genuinely, she had wanted to her turned her son against him which did not work.

"Mommy, you have to stop all these that you are doing because it is not going to change things".

" And that brings me back to my question, did you propose to Miranda?", she interrogated but Axel as always knew that it was going to end up in a quarrel, so he turned back and began walking to the door when his mother said,

"You are just like your stupid father, always doing things without thinking about the consequences".

He could take anything from his mother but certainly not her arrogance and disrespect for his father's name.

" I am sick and tired of this attitude of yours mom, when will you ever change?. You have never loved anyone and that was the reason why my life is like this now, as you pampered me so much and did not correct me when I was wrong, instead, you covered my mistakes up".

"And that is why you are where you are today?", she defended herself but Axel laughing out like a mentally unstable person, asked his mother whether she was proud of what she raised.

" I began doing evil things at a young age and each time daddy wanted to avoid me, you always fought him and disrespected him in front of all the staff and you call yourself a good person?", he yelled out.

The argument was getting heated so much that Anna and Becky hid behind the curtains to watch the mouth battle that was going on.

"You ungrateful child, I sacrificed myself for you and this is how you repay me?".

" Repay you, mom? you spend your time nagging me over and over again. I cannot even have peace in my own house as you are always talking about me having a wife and giving you an heir when we both know why you are doing all these".

"It is because I care about you son".

" That is a fat lie mom, you only care about yourself and no one else. Let's just quit with the pretense as you want us to talk about this", he griped.

"What are you talking about?, I just asked you a simple question and you are bringing all these up?", his mother asked.

" Yes, mom let's talk about this once and for all because I am tired of all these from you. I cannot be comfortable with my mom, the only time she talks to me is when she wants to selfishly get something from me, why?". Tears formed in his eyes making him feel like a useless person.

Mrs. Hunter could not believe that her son was saying all those things to her but Clark was done with his Mother's egocentric personality and had been putting up only because she was his mother and hoping that someday she was going to change.

"Do you know something mom, I am sincerely fed up with all the ladies you send to me daily, and also I have lost count of every single girl you send to me each day. When will you ever stop", he implored.

His mother let out a laugh and walked closer to him saying,

" I will only stop the day you finally unblock the last and most important heritage that your late father had placed a constraint on", she murmured.

Shaking his head in disappointment, he looked at his mother.

Mr. Hunter had restricted the biggest company mad the sum of fifty billion francs Cfa which was going to be released to his son, only after he has an heir to continue with his legacy.
