THE MESSIAH'S REVENGE.

Chapter 20.

I get home and I find that there is an unknown white BMW x5 parked next to Alexis's M series.
As I enter the house my cousin comes running to me.

"Diana!" I exclaim because I am sure as hell dreaming!

"Where have you been?" She asks as she hugs me, I do not bother to hug her back, honestly, why is there a reunion in my flipping house on a flipping Wednesday!?

"A place where you haven't been"

"Cut the crap L we have been worried sick" Alex says, it takes me a minute to notice that everyone (nena, Alexis, Alex, Uncle Luke, his wife Kate and Diana) are staring at me.

"Then you should have went to the doctor" I simply reply as I head for the stairs.

"Sweetie wait, I found the letter...I am sorry dear" That makes the both of us nena.

"It's all good" I shrug.

"That's all you gonna say? Where have you been Layler? They found your car 3 hours away from here!" My uncle raises his voice at me. He raises his voice at me, in my house?

"If it wasn't for the respect I have for you" I do not bother to finish my sentence, I really have no energy right now.

"And your body wasn't in the car, we thought you were kidnapped" Kate says, way to finish your husband's sentence.

"We couldn't call the cops after Alex told us what kind of business you run underground so it could have been risky to-"

"Alex you did what!" I cut Diana before she finishes her sentence.

"When were you going to tell us that you are a drug lord and a pimp?" My uncle asks and I shoot him a glare

"The same time you were planning on telling me that I am a Mercy"

"Layler!" Kate budges in.

"Aren't you supposed to be baking cookies and shit like the typical house wife that you are?" I say in a calm manner.

"What has gotten into you L?" Alex asks.

"You have all gotten into me! Having a flipping wazz attack just because I decided I need some time alone! This is my house no one asks me about my whereabouts, I never ask any of you about your ins and outs so if I feel like staying out I will flipping stay out!"
My uncle walks up to me and he grabs my left arm with force.

"You’re lucky I prayed last Sunday" I shoot him a glare.

"She's just upset. Leave her son" My nena says and with that I walk upstairs.

The minute I reach my room I take my personal phone, I left my business phone at Jerry's house, it might as well feel at home.

Get me accommodation, a plane ticket to Nigeria, access my bank accounts, change 5 million into nairas, I want those first thing Friday morning.

I click send to Alvaro.
In a split second I have decided that I am going to look for my mother in Nigeria, give birth there and formulate a plan to avenge the Messiahs.

"I am leaving Friday" I tell my nena as she enters my room.

"Where to?" She asks but I keep quiet.

"Honey I am so sorry, believe me I wanted to raise you from the start but Blake insisted that he and his wife look after you"

"Ok"

"Layler...please"

"What nena? You know what? It's okay that I have the blood of the Mercy's in me, it's okay that I never met any of my biological parents it's okay "

"Then why are you leaving?"

"I have to"

"When are you coming back?"

"In 2 years’ time"

"Child you want to kill me? How are we going to survive?"

"The same way I took responsibility of everything when I was only 17, surely the rightful Messiahs will have no problem adjusting, now please leave me" I ask but she sits there.

"Okay sit, it's fine make yourself comfortable" I stand up and I go to the bathroom and then I lock myself in there.

Hours later I wake up in the middle of the night, my nena left my room, it is 3am, I walk to the kitchen and I grab a bucket of chocolate ice cream and then I take a seat on the couch and dig in.

"Layler, you’re still our sister" Alex says as he and Alexis walk in and they both grab spoons and join in.

"I know little man"

"Why are you leaving then?"

"Alexis, Alex...I'll be back"

"That is what Quinton said" Alex says.

"You’re going to look for Frank Mercy?" Alexis asks.

"No"

"Then?"

"I will tell you when I come back, but we will face time every day I promise"

"Why can't we come with?"

"Alexis...I have to go on my own, in the meantime Gonzalo and Alvaro will settle you guys I promise"

The rest of the night we reminisced on moments that made us laugh, we ended up going to bed at 6:46am in the morning.
