EPISODE 52
Blackmail
EXT. THE KINGS MANOR- EVENING
The moment the car stops in front of the main house, the twin jumps out of the car
IMADE
(In a loud voice) Stop running you two
Her bodyguard opens the door for her and then she walks into the house. She hears her daughters chatting and laughing at the top of their voices. She goes to the direction of the voices and finds them in the arms of Wemimo. Ms. Franklin and the other maids stands few steps away from them watching the father and his kids
Imade looks upset and then faces the head butler and the other maids
IMADE
No one even thought to call and tell me he is around
WEMIMO
I instructed them not to, I am not giving you a chance to avoid me
IMADE
If the situation was reversed they would see call you
WEMIMO
Imade, we need to talk
IMADE
(Scoff) Well, I don’t feel like talking to you
Imade walks out of the living room and goes upstairs. On her way to their bedroom, she could hear Wemimo’s hasty footstep behind her, then she hasten her footsteps too.
The moment she enters, she tried to lock the door but Wemimo beats her to it and forcefully opens the door.
WEMIMO
(Very angry) The fuck is wrong with you, Imade
She rolls her eyes and goes into the closet
IMADE
I don’t see anything wrong in trying to be independent
WEMIMO
You think that is why I am angry, why the fuck will you send Jo to Ann
IMADE
(Shrugs) I can’t trust Ann to be fair to me, Josephine is good too and I think I can trust her
WEMIMO
So, you sent her to Ann, fully aware of what Ann will do when she finds out about her relationship with Bankole
IMADE
(With indifference) Ann does not even know her
WEMIMO
Ann investigates people she works with, it is only a matter of time before she knows that Jo is Bankole’s fiancés
IMADE
(Sarcastically) We are just splitting asset, it is not like we are taking down a drug lord, she will be fine
Wemimo breathes in deeply looking so frustrated
WEMIMO
So, it is about the asset right?
IMADE
Of course
WEMIMO
Then Ann will be visiting you soon, you can pick whatever you want, you don’t need to involve Jo
IMADE
I just told you, I don’t trust Ann
WEMIMO
Imade!
IMADE
(Snaps) Stop shouting at me, Ann defies your order a lot of time, especially when she think you are not been fair to yourself, so Jo stays
WEMIMO
(Annoyed) This is your brother we are talking about, don’t you feel sorry for him
IMADE
I would feel sorry, if I actually think Jo deserves him
Wemimo looks so angry but he tries to control himself. A struggle Imade sees and smirks at, then she starts to remove her clothes
WEMIMO
What can I do to make you leave Jo alone?
IMADE
I don’t understand you, Wemimo. I am just asking her to do the job she trained for.
WEMIMO
Will withdrawing my involvement in the tech project be enough?
IMADE
(Flustered) What does that have to do with Jo?
WEMIMO
Stop bullshitting me, we both know that is what you want. Will it be enough?
IMADE
I won’t ask you to pull out of an important project like that
WEMIMO
But you won’t mind it right? My withdrawal from the project for Bankole’s relationship, is that enough?
Imade didn’t say anything
WEMIMO
Then I take that as a yes but I need you to give me a month, let me acquire the company myself, then I will hand the rest over to Aunty Bebii. Is that fine by you?
Imade looks away
WEMIMO
I take that as a yes too
Then Wemimo opens the closet and goes out. Imade puts on a rope and follows him into the bedroom
IMADE
Wemimo!
He turns at the door with his hand the door handle
WEMIMO
What else do you want to blackmail me with?
IMADE
I didn’t blackmail you, you chose to leave it yourself
WEMIMO
(Sighs) What do you need, Imade?
IMADE
Where are you going?
WEMIMO
Atlanta
IMADE
You are not staying?
WEMIMO
You gave me a month remember and do you really think I want to be on the same bed with you right now?
IMADE
What did I do that was so wrong?
WEMIMO
You used your brother to blackmail me out of a project have spent energy, time and money on just because you are jealous, what kind of a person are you becoming?
IMADE
For the 100th time, Wemimo, I didn’t ask you to…
WEMIMO
Stop lying to me, I am not a baby. All of a sudden, you want to split our asset and speaking of those assets, you need to prepare yourself to handle them, we are really splitting it
IMADE
There is no need for that anymore
WEMIMO
What did you just say?
IMADE
(Sees the hard look on his face) Nothing
WEMIMO
Good
He opens the door to leave but stops and closes it back. He turns to Imade
WEMIMO
I heard a man hurt you
IMADE
Fuck! They told you
WEMIMO
By they, do you mean our kids, no, they didn’t
IMADE
Then who told you if not… (Scoffs heavily) Ms. Franklin… that bitch was spying on me
WEMIMO
And the fact that you asked them to keep it from me is highly offensive
IMADE
I did that because you worry about everything and there was nothing to worry about
WEMIMO
Oh really!
IMADE
Yes, he mistook me for someone else
WEMIMO
I am doubling your detail
IMADE
There is no need for that
WEMIMO
My kids could have been hurt
IMADE
Just your kids? I don’t matter right? Of course I don’t matter anymore, since you already have slutty Ms. Anita
WEMIMO
(Scoffs) I am not even going to dignify that with a comment, I am doubling your detail
IMADE
I don’t want it
WEMIMO
(Grinds his teeth) I am already angry with you, Imade, don’t push me
He opens the door and goes out. Imade follows him
IMADE
Meanwhile, you need to say your goodbye to Ms. Franklin because I am going to fire her ass
Wemimo turns back to her
WEMIMO
You will do no such thing
IMADE
This is why they don’t respect me. You give them the chance to walk all over me
WEMIMO
Respect is reciprocal, Imade. When you start respecting them, they will respect you back
Wemimo walks downstairs while Imade on his rear
IMADE
At least stay for the night
Wemimo ignores her and walks out the main door
IMADE
Wemimo! Wemimo
He enters the car and Ashobi drives him away. Imade fumes in anger for not getting the attention she wanted. She turns to go back inside and then finds the house maids all there watching her tantrum
IMADE
(Yells) What are you looking at?
They all disperses, then Imade goes inside
Next on Why?
IMADE
Don’t you understand the position you put me, I have to take care of this today before my husband finds out
MICHEAL
He won’t find out today
IMADE
If his people know how deadly your gift is, they won’t hesitate to sell me out to him and oust me
MICHEAL
What?
IMADE
I have made some enemies over the years, Micheal. The only friend I have is my husband, if I lose him too, I am out
