Prince Martin was in a daze, getting into his car he sat quietly for a long time Segun and the driver didn't know what to say to him, Segun knew that it was a bad situation and that the Prince will still come up with something to try and convince the mull headed Mr Jeff Mo, he thanked the gods he was not a Prince because this was the last chance given to the Prince to bring home his bride to be. what now he taught as he sat quietly fearing to breath too loudly and disturb the Prince's taught.

The Prince without much taught asked the driver to drive to Elemar's place, they got there and he got down and entered the one storey building and sat down one the double arm chair there, the place was quiet, he didn't even bother with the lights, the dark was soothing.

I can't go home like this leaving Elenna here with my daughter he taught, then an idea struck him he pulled out his cell phone and called Elenna once she saw that it was him calling she taught he was calling to tell her he was leaving she didn't pick up immediately it was at the second ring that she picked and said tentatively hello Tin!

My Queen I hope you are alright? Prince asked and she said what do you think? don't worry I've got an idea the Prince replied, please do shareshe said, you know in my place there is a saying that "behind every successful man there is a strong woman" and "the heart of a king lies in the hands of his queen" let's meet with your mum the Prince suggested she should know how to placate your father he finished, so what do you think wifey? it could work mother knows how to wrap dad around her fingers when she is determined she wants something Elenna enthused.

They agreed that the Prince should be the one to place the call and he did, Mrs Alia Jeff Mo was happy that they came to her but she was worried about her husbands behavior, still she told the Prince not to worry she can see what she can do at his best mood then she will get back to them.

Mrs Jeff Mo from then on started watching out for when the husband mood will be relax so she can plead with him to reconsider his decision. Mr Jeff was a man who carried a hard face at the company but at home totally a different person, his hard face only appeared at home when a family member misbehaves and so, it wasn't long before Mrs Jeff got the opportunity she needed she had bought the type of cake he loves eating for some strange reason Mr Jeff Mo has always had a sweet tooth especially for these type of chocolate fruit cake,so after dinner that night his wife presented and served him with a plate of the cake, Mr Mo said to Mrs Mo. 'Hmmm Alia wow! this? when did you make it thank you Mrs Mo just smiled at him and sat down and watched him while he eat after eating most of it he looked at her and said that was delicious so what do you want? he asked Mrs Mo stared at him he repeated himself I know you want something so what is it?

Its about our daughter she said, you mean Elenna? he asked, what about her? Mrs Jeff Mo then said from the bottom of my heart I beg you allow them to marry and be together they have promised to always come visit us a visit every fortnightly is good enough we should also consider the happiness of our daughter in this, who will want to marry a woman with a child and her heart already belongs to him, let them grow their family dear we are already grand parents, we can always go visit them in Nigeria.

Mr Jeff Mo stared at his wife for some time then he said to her am sorry Alia this is one of your request that I can't accept, I simply can't grant it, see woman what do we tell our family and friends when they ask us where is our child our only child? we will tell them that she is in another Continent? not country D or even Y another freaking continent I have a bad feeling about it so I say no! my answer is no, I will get her married to any other man here in our own home country Mr Jeff Mo concluded, please consider their love and happiness Jeff please Mrs Mo tried but Mr Jeff Mo got up and said don't raise this topic with me again except the young man will stay in this house if not they should forget about each other, then he left her at the dining and went into his bedroom.

Mrs Jeff Mo was in a dilemma how will she be the bearer of such a saddening news, they came to me with so much confidence and trust and now what? she knew that this news will change the atmosphere in the house.
