Chapter 9

*It was Dawn now*

The Harringtons were speechless.

"Dad what is he talking about?Who's Benji?" Asked Sasha.

*Silence*

"Dad,Mom what is he talking about?" Asked Sasha again.

Mrs.Harrington looked up at Mr.Harrington's face.

"Get out!" Mr.Harrington said. [He pointed at the door]

"See mi love yuh daughter enuh, deeply,but mi just sorry seh she have such heartless, disgusting parents" Said Reece.

Sasha and Velma was puzzled.

"Let me explain..." Said Reece.

"See, Flecther and Sandra!..... " said Reece.

"Shut up! Both of you!" Said Mrs.Harrington.

".....and my fada, were good friends, he was your dad's chauffeur as well, my dad was the reason Sandra and Fletcher even met inna di first place, whenever Sandra came to visit her great- grandfather, she would visit my dad as well, whenever my mom wasn't around." He continued.

"Fletcher sold drugs for a living, after he and your mom met, she went to his house everyday, they were in a relationship, but fletcher was jealous that my dad and your mom had better chemistry. Your mom reassured him that it was nothing to worry about." Raymond said.

"Shut up!" Mr. Harrington yelled.

"Shoot mi then! Or be quiet" Reece commanded.

Mr. Harrington raised his gun, Sasha slapped it out of his hand.

"So as I was saying one day, when Sandra came back in town, she call mi fada fi help har with something while Fletcher wasn't there,and mi sure you know what that led to?......ye and he fell for it, after resisting so many times, when he came unto her, coincidentally, Flecther came walking upstairs in his apartment, caught her cheating, he knew she was the one who caused it but he remembered that sooner and later dem did ago get married , and that they will move in the mansion here, to live and make alot of money together, see Sandra married your father because she knew my dad was with someone else and suh she did wah spite him and plus he knew how to run a business, Sandra lied about being pregnant at the time so that her great- grandfather would feel sorry for her and put the house and businesses in her name." said Reece.

"Ye and I don't get why you never just move in with your grandfather,and live your life, but I guess you had plans."

"So you're saying, my parents were married out of spite?" Asked Sasha.

"Yes" replied Raymond.

"You know nothing!" Yelled Mrs.Harrington.

"Oh really, mi muss blind, caz it all inna d paper him write before him dead." Reece replied. "Mi don't even feel like your great great grandfather's death was an accident Sasha." Reece assumed.

"Are you saying I killed my grandfather, I loved my  grandfather, how dare you!" Said Mrs.Harrington.

"Shut up! Ole whore!" Raymond yelled.

"Ye, loved! Before the greed took over" Said Reece.

"So he blamed my dad for everything, she blamed my dad for everything, he pulled a gun out pon him, threw a glass at his head, told him to run or he would kill him, my dad did run, so he never got killed, yet. Reece continued with the crack in his voice.

"Sasha got pregnant a year later, they had the baby in the apartment, then her grandfather died , so she moved into this mansion with fletcher, the money wasnt coming fast enough from the businesses, so they had to make quick cash." Said Raymond.
