THE PRICE OF OBEDIENCE

      Chapter 3.

Mr. Adeleke went on to apologise to Bethel's parent he even went as far as changing Bethel's wardrobe and making sure she was treated and fine. Mr. Tolu was touched to see how sorry Abi's parents where. What shocked him the most was how nonchalant Abi was about the incident, she boasted round the community how much of a strong woman she was to have dealt with Bethel mercilessly. And was overjoyed on how her crew praised her indisputable act.

It almost December, and the Adeleke's where known to always have a massive thanksgiving ceremony to appreciate God over their family, business,welfare and everything concerning them.
Mr. Jude Adeleke been the first son and child amidst the seven children of Ma'am Bimbo Adeleke, had the responsibility to gather his siblings and family together as one in preparation for the upcoming thanksgiving. That was also used as a way of uniting the family, hence Pa Adeleke was late and all the seven children where grown and married to their various spouses; also each of them lived in separate places. It was a one year event and the Adeleke's used this period to show love to people around them, as that was the legacy Pa Adeleke left behind for them and everyone hoped to pass the legacy over to the next generation which are their children.
One of the legacy laid by Pa Adeleke was love, and respect; Pa Adeleke valued relationship with others because he believed relationship breeds goodness and opportunity. So he brought up his kids with the mindset that everyone was important as them selves and that no one was beneath any body in spite of financial status or whatsoever.
Preparations for the occasion was massively done and family meeting was been held almost every weekend both online and in the compound in readiness for the upcoming thanksgiving ceremony. Abi's elder siblings Jide, Kemi, Femi, Dare and Bolu also prepared to return home from school for holiday and the ceremony ahead. To others it was a reunion of family, a thing of joy, plus it was something the Adeleke's randomly anticipate at the end of every year. but to Abi it was stress and the worst preparation to be done each year; she had never liked people in her space plus she new nobody was beneath her status among her cousins, so she had made up her mind that she was going to make the ceremony unbearable and a total disaster to her cousins and she made plans ahead. Mr. Jude's siblings where well to do as himself so Abi couldn't find any excuse to dismiss, insult or oppress her cousins. They all had high fashion sense and knew trending styles so oppressing them based on wealth and material things was one of the things Abi knew was not possible. Abi was still planning how to make life uncomfortable for her uncle's, aunt's and cousin. Little did she knew that she was in for a big trap unknown.
