人気の億万長者の父親が、ただ単に生きているふりをしています…
The rain had not yet touched the heads that
evening. But the cloud above Okijah Hills were swollen and restless as if heaven itself
was waiting for a secret to break. Inside the great mansion of Chief Emmanuel David, the richest
man the land had ever seen. Silence walked like a shadow. The servant whispered in corner, their
eyes red from weeping, their hands trembling as they carried water pot and firewood. A heavy rumor
hang in the air. The great chief was dead. Also the world believed, but down in the hidden chamber
beneath the mansion, Chief Emmanuel David sat in silence, alive and breathing. He said to himself
with his voice rough like a calabash scrapping stone. A man who hits yam alone must know if
his children will plant again when he is gone. The lion must sometime play dead to know which cup
has teeth and which has holy hunger. He had built empire farmlands that stretch like the horizon.
Cocoa warehouse, Oil welldips as the underworld, the heads of cattle that thundered like army. His
wealth was a kingdom in itself, but his fear was greater than his riches. Feared that his children,
seven of them, will scatter the wealth like seed in dry harmattan wind. He faked his de*th. The
coffee had been lowered into the heads two days earlier was empty, filled only with palm tree and
stone. The mona had cry. The drummer had beaten their sorrowful rhymes. The priestess had pray
for the family. Even his children had wailed like orphan abador in the market square. But David had
watched it all from the secret chamber through the eyes of a trusted Obialu, his loyal servant, who
carried every whisper of the outside world down into the darkness. And what he had unsettled
him more than the grave itself. For a while the servant welt. The children screamed Adola.
The four son had already began to boost of his strength to lead. Ch the first daughter had locked
herself with the account book with her sharp eyes. Francis the second son poured palm wine down his
throat and laughed with his idol friends about feast yet to come. Ephoniah the second daughter
cried with everyone who questioned her right in ami. The third son stayed quiet watching
like a patient lizard on a tree. Bameidel the gentle fought son wept in with his flute his music
heavy with sorrow and Zanob the youngest daughter troubled with fear as our siblings voices grew
louder their hearts blacked by greed chief David lipped tightened his test had only begun the third
day after the first burial at your last truth in the Boom and stuck the table with his fist.
Brothers, sister, he boomed his church rising like a draw. The lion is dead. But tradition, the
first son is the pillar of the house. All lad, cattle and titles should fall under my care. I
will lead and you will follow. Chmer rose slowly. Ed says the cockroach does not ro in the gathering
of foul who told you adola that you are fit to lead. Strength is nothing without wisdom. Give
me the key to the account book and I will make his words grow like you have a raining season. You
she pointed at him you will waste it on walls and pride. Francis staggered forward, already drunk,
though the sun had not yet set. Both of you talk too much. Let us divide everything now, each man
for himself. The word is sweeter when a man drink palm wine in his own house, not in another man’s
shadow. If clapped her hand in anger, God forbid, no man will cheat me. Am I not the daughter of
the lion? Give me my share and let me scatter my enemy with it. The all the hall boyed with
noise. Only in the kept silent. His eyes like a hawk. Dami Bameidel pressed his flute to his
lips, but no sound came. His heart was too heavy. Zanob cried softly, begging them to remember love,
but their ears were deaf. Down in the chamber, David shook his head. The yam is roasting and the
fire is too hot. Let me see which children will eat it raw. Which we wait or which will quench
the flame flame. That night, the ancestors sent a dream to David. In the dream, his late father
Emmanuel stood tall, his eyes bleeding. David, my son, the spirit thundered. You have played with
the rope of death. Trying it around your children neck. That greed grow like weed in the season
of rain. Blo*d will spill if you do not revail yourself. and the deceit or cause of the ancestors
will fall upon your house. David woke trembling, sweats all over his body. For the first time,
fear gripped him, but pride whispered in his ear, “Not yet. Watch them longer. Perhaps one will
rise like the above the bush tree.” So he stayed eating. Days turn into weeks and whispers turned
to plots. Chinu and Kichi conspired in secret planning to remove Adola from the part. Adola
gathered guard of his own. Ifa shouted louder demanding a piece of the iritance. Inami moved
quietly guarding secret. Bameidel wept into his music and Zeno prayed to the river goddess for
peace. One moonless night chinu aola into the cocoa warehouse claiming thief were stealing the
estate wealth but waiting inside where are hired men cutes in the dark. Dola fought like a wounded
lion. His ro shaking the raft. Two men fell by his hand, but bleed pieced his tin and arms. He
staggered bleeding as Chinelo stepped forward with his cold eyes. This estate cannot serve two
kings. Brother, she easted. But before she could strike in the storm with his loyal servant, saving
Adola’s life, Chinelo and Kleti flew into the night like shadow chased by fire. When the news
reached Chief David, his heart broke, his children are drawn war. The ancestors warning thunder in
his ear. End this masquerade or death will claim what you love most. Still he insisted for three
nights and three days rain poured without rest. The river swirling. Aunts collapsed and even the
great mansion trebled. The village pretest mama is declared the ancestors are angry. Unless sacrifice
is made there will not be peace. The villager pointed fingers. Whispers of course spread and the
name Chief David became bitter on their tongues. Inside the Martion, fear gripped like rats. Adola
lay wounded. Chinello plots grew sharper. Kichi drank himself into madness. Ifaya caused the
storm in they stayed quiet. Bameidel wept and Zenob traveled until the night she disappeared.
Her room was empty. The bed cold. Panic shook the house. Some said the river had swallowed all
her. Others fear she had been taken by the spirit. Chief David in his chamber fell to the floor in
anguish. His youngest child, his gentle dove gone. The ancestor thundered, “We warn you, one you love
shall be taken.” David wept bitterly. But at dawn, Zenob returned weak, soaked and trembling. She had
wathered into the river in ready to end her life. But an old rumor had saved her. That morning, as
the children gathered in confusion, the mansion door cracked open and thunderous footstep echoed
from the steer. There stood Chief David alive cloud in white robe, eyes bleeding. My children,
his voice, I’m not dead. I have watched you. I have tested you and have seen your hearts. Fear
gripped the hall. Adola dropped his K. Chino stag staggered back. Kichi fell to his kne ces dried
in her throat. Zenob stled. Bameidel troubled in the cal m cracked you. Adola, you deceived us.
Chinello screamed. You mocked us. But before their coral could rise again, the ancestral shine b with
smoke and voices thundered from beyond. David, you mocked death. Your children mocked love.
Balanced must be restored. The earth shock jewel turned into dust. Wounds reopen. Tongue swallowed.
Flut cracked. letter born. Zeno fainted. Bameidle cried out, “Ances, punish me, not them. Let my
life pay the price.” The voice answered, “Then so be it. One life for many, yours or theirs.” David
fell to his kneel. Tears streamed down from his eyes. Take me. speared them. His children screamed
as his body trembled. He turned his fading eyes towards them and whispered, “Wealth is dust
without love. Unity is the only true inheritance.” Then he slumped forward lifeless. The storm cloud
parted. The year grew warm. The cost lifted. Chief David was gone. The children worked for hours. For
the first time, not for wealth, but for love lost. They buried their father for real. This time with
drums and sorrow. The villagers watched in aloe, whispering of the billionaire who faked his
de*th and gave his life for his children’s redemption. And from that day, the seven children
changed. Aela became a protector. Chinilu used a con for trade. Ki tap his pal wine taste and
became a bold negotiator. Ifa fire turned into justice in the silence became wisdom. Bameidle
