Evelyn's POV
"What?" He exclaimed in shock. He sprang to his feet pacing round the room.
" Dad what's going on?"
"Yeah, Thompson, is everything okay?" I added.
"All is not fine. We need to leave this place right now!" He added frustrated. What's going on with him. He took his phone typing many things which just got me scared the more. After sometime an alert came to my phone, he just transferred one hundred million USD. I looked at him in shock.
" Babe! Is everything okay? Talk to me please?" I cried.
" I got a pent house in your name. These are the keys, the documents are in my drawer. "He said with a cracking voice, he's just making me have a high BP. He turned to Hailey.
"Hails, I'm very sorry, Evelyn I'm really sorry, take care of Hails cause she's all I've got " Just then a knock was heard on the door. Thompson went to the door and I was shocked to see him being handcuffed.
"Officers what's going on here?"
"You can't just barge in and take my dad..... What's going on?"She screamed at them as she ran after the door.
"Stay away kid! Your dad is a criminal" one of the officers explained to her.
" Daddy... "She cried.
" I'm sorry Hails "
" You promised me that you're gonna stay home for my birthday "She said in tears.
" I got you a gift in a box, it's in my drawer. Your dreamland is the password"he told her as they dragged him to their van. I just stood fixed at a point. I went over to console Hailey but she pushed me away and ran upstairs.
A month later
***Hailey's POV***
Dad was executed yesterday. He is a drug trafficker and a robber. Damnit! I was shocked. It was carried all over the news. My dad's only brother called to confirm if it was true. My dad opened a company in uncle Kenechukwu's name since he knew he would be arrested. He sent some money to my account apart from the one he sent to Evelyn. He also got us a pent house because all our properties including our houses were confiscated, his account was frozen. He really acted fast because if he didn't we would have been reduced to penury.
I've been down lately, coupled with the silent treatment I've been receiving in school. I've not spoken to Evelyn too, no one really loved me. My classmates and and friends all deserted me. They all claimed to love but now they have turned their backs on me. They keep on calling me names, they say I'm the same as my father.
"I hate this stigma!" I cried till my tears became dry.
***
Evelyn's been knocking at my door for sometime now.
"Hailey you've skipped school for a week now, prepare for school please" she begged.
"I'm not going. I want to be left alone. Just leave Evelyn. I said loud enough for her to hear me. She intensifies her knock which provoked me.
" It's my birthday today and I don't want it ruined! " I screamed. After that I didn't hear her voice again. She probably left.
I wiped my tears and went to my table to pick the box. I retrieved it and other things before packing to the new house. His last words replayed in my head.
" I got you a gift, it's my drawer. Your dream land is the password. "
Tears rolled down my eyes but I didn't bother myself cleaning them.It really hurts, dad was executed. I never really expected this, my loving and caring dad was a hardened criminal, a drug dealer?
