TADE TOBY VILLA

Tade Toby walk around his courtyard with his hand behind his back, it is obvious he is deeply in thought. Railey Toby, his wife stood few feet from him watching her husband pace around the courtyard.

"What are you thinking?" Came Railey's voice to her husband.

Tade turn around surprised to hear and see his wife. "When did you get here?" He asked

"Few minutes ago" Railey replied as she close the distance between them. "Tell me, what are you thinking about?" Railey asked again.

"Nothing" Tade replied dismissively.

"Are you thinking about Ford?" She asked "about how he took your position from you, are you thinking about what to do?" She held his arm "cause you must do something husband, you must"

Tade slide her hands off him. "Yes I'm thinking about Ford, but not on how to take revenge on him, afterall he is my brother and was able to solve the family problem "

Railey face broke into anger but she held it in. "What then are you thinking about?" She asked.

"I'm thinking about how easily it was for Ford to make all our problems go away, as if he was the one who caused it." Tade replied.

"Are you saying he might create the problem for the family and solved it to be the hero and gain the position of patriarch?" Hos wife asked.

"Yes, that's what I'm saying." Tade confirmed.

"I disagree, even if he wants to he don't have the power to create such problem for the family" Railey pointed out.

"Not if he as the backing of someone very powerful " Tade differed.

"You mean like the Gadon's family?" Railey asked suspiciously.

"Exactly " Tade confirmed

"What about what happened at the party?" Railey asked still finding it hard to accept her husband believe.

"That might have just been coincidence, I personally don't think grandma Gadon is that petty" Tade replied, and now Railey is more convinced Ford was the problem all along.
