Chapter 48: Keeping Up With The Spencers

Chapter 48: keeping up with the Spencers.

Elixir stirred before she opened her eyes. The white soft fluffy pillow was neatly tucked under her head. She could hear voices but she couldn't make out what they were saying. She closed her eyes temporarily to be grateful for the man beside her but her gratefulness did not last.

She used her hand to search for the object of her gratefulness but he was gone.

Andrew Spencer of the Spencer telecommunications, Canadian royalty and possibly one of the richest man in the country. He was somehow her boyfriend but Elixir wasn't sure, she was too old to be calling a grown man her boyfriend. And the grown man was supposed to be fairly naked underneath the blanket with her but somehow, she was lying there alone.

Then she saw the note on the table near a cup of coffee...cold coffee. It's been a while it's been sitting there on the table beside her. Elixir pushed herself up to a sitting position. She could still hear the voice clearly now and the the door opened.

"I might be your blood and nice but I could still ruin you. Get that business deal done before I replace you" Andrew was dressed in a suit and he was holding a briefcase. Elixir looked at the clock, it was past eight in the morning and yet he had gone out, and now he was back. 

She waited for him to hang up.

"Good morning honey" 

"Hey. Where did you go to?" Elixir had never been one to avoid a confrontation. She didn't become the only woman in her country and possibly her continent to take over from her father and turn the couple of businesses she inherited into an empire before thirty years of age by avoiding dispute.

"Sorry, I had an urgent business deal I had to seal but I am back and we can continue our unwinding time" Andrew kissed her cheek.

Elixir smiled, she stood up from the bed. She was naked except for the lingerie she was wearing which was transparent. She stretched her body.

She opened the wardrobe and took out a suitcase. And started packing.

"Where are you going, Elixir?" Andrew asked. He was puzzled and didn't understand.

Elixir let out a breathe. She dropped the suitcase and went to the mirror to stare at it. She watched herself for a while before she spoke.

"I am beautiful, don't you think? Scratch that, Andy...I am exquisite. I am powerful and I am successful. I could pass off as early forties, right?" She turned to watch the man who suddenly was looking at her weirdly.

Andrew agreed with her, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen since he became a widower eighteen years ago. Elixir was exquisite and she looked like she was in her late thirties not early forties. Andrew looked his age of sixty one and yet she choose him.

"You are beautiful, there is no dispute about it honey"

Elixir went back to her suitcase.

"But despite my looks we can all agree I am not in my early forties...I am fifty two years old and counting...fast. Do you want to take a guess on what I spent my youth doing?"

Elixir looked at him. She expected an answer from him.

"Building your empire?" The man was suddenly nervous.

"Yes, building my empire. You are correct. But not just that..I spent my youth trying to convince half of my country that a woman has the capability to run a million dollars company without bankrupting it in the first five years and at the same time protect my baby...my beautiful baby boy, Jason from the idiot I married. It was exhausting but I did it. For years, I came second to my son's welfare and the empire I was building" 

Elixir smiled at him. "I did that. But then I woke up one morning and I was fifty years old and counting yet...I was still putting myself second. Do you know what I did?" 

"Elixir where is this going?" Andrew asked her.

"Do you know what I did, Andy?" Elixir asked him. Her voice was firm and steady.

"No" Andrew whispered.

"Thank you! I will tell you now. First, I let go of the idiot I married even when he threatened to take everything I spent my entire life building and it was fine by me because I wanted to be happy but guess what!...It turned out I raised a beautiful powerful boy too who took back the empire from the idiot I married and is currently making it bigger just so I could pack up my shit fly to another country to find some God damned happiness!" 

Elixir went back to packing up her suitcase.

"I am sorry, I broke the deal we made Elixir"

Andrew apologized and went closer to her.

"Do you know my son is thirty years old this year?" Elixir asked him out of nowhere.

"I do" Andrew agreed with him

"He is a grown ass man but he is my baby and years ago, he adopted this beautiful little blue eyed girl that thinks I am badass and a legend she wants to look up to, She is currently in Nigeria and has been for a month but you didn't see me packing up my stuff to go see her or my powerful beautiful baby boy, do you Andy?" Elixir asked him.

"No, you didn't. Elixir, I am sorry. The deal we made was you come to Canada and I will take a break from work to spend time with us" Andrew acknowledged his mistake.

"Yet so far you've done a piss poor job of keeping your side of the deal. Last week, it was an executive you needed to deal with at work, and the week before that it was the janitor. Yesterday, was...crap! I don't remember, Andy and today, was...wait! What excuse did you have to go to work today" 

Andrew let out a breathe. "Ray was about to screw up a deal for me and I had to fix it" 

"Ray Spencer, your son...wow, Andy. Remember the time we had the conversation about how you will try to encourage those boys of yours seeking approval from their father instead of threatening to maim them? Well, work on it. Meanwhile, get out while I finish packing my stuff"

Andrew Spencer watched her. This was the side of Elixir Yagazie everyone was afraid of.

But he wasn't. He was impressed.

"What are you going to do in Nigeria, Elixir?" He asked her instead.

Elixir stopped what she was doing. Her lips curled up as she thought about his questions.

"I think I am going to be the next god-damned governor of my state. Wooh! Look at that, I keep surprising even myself. So, honey if you ever figure out how to put me first then come to Nigeria let's hang but in the meantime, I am gonna do me and I am taking your youngest with me"

"Why are you taking Luca?" 

"Because I made a promise that he could go with me to see Africa. And don't worry, it's temporary and he is twenty four" Elixir went back to packing her clothes. Apparently, she was going into politics.

Elixir turned as she started packing her shoes to see Andrew still standing there.

"Andrew, I said get out!" 

"Elixir, I am..."

She had a stern look on her face "Boy, bye!"

She opened the wardrobe to grab one of his robes and she wore it. She needed to find Luca and ask him to pack his bags too.

Luca Spencer was in the kitchen making two cups of tea when Elixir walked inside. He beamed up and kissed her cheek. He also handed a cup of tea to her.

Elixir took a sip "Wow, just the way I like it. Thanks sweetheart" 

Luca smiled and took the chair beside her. He always liked Elixir. She made his father better and she was like a mother figure to him. And she treated him like a kid even fuss over him from time to time. She made breakfast for him once in a while and she took care of him awhile back when he was sick with the flu. 

His mother died when he was six years old and Luca always wondered what it felt like to have a mother until Elixir came into his life.

"Luca" 

"Yes. Is the tea too sweet?" 

"The tea is perfect. But I have something to tell you, Luca"

"Okay" Luca listened with rapt attention.

"We are going to Nigeria, boy"

Luca stood up and kissed her hair loudly "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

It took him a while for him to contain his excitement "And my father.... will he be joining us there?"

Elixir smiled "That's the plan, Luca. That is the plan"

Forty eight hours later, Elixir landed in Nigeria along side her lover's son.

Her son and granddaughter were waiting for her in the airport.. It was good to be home.
