Prologue

Dayo was determined to regain the trust and confidence of his dad after he was accused of not being worthy of inheriting his father’s accounting firm.

He needed help with his studies and had to break up with his beautiful but over emotional half cast girlfriend ‘Lizzy’ when he became friends with a local but brilliant girl with tribal marks’ Funmi. He developed a relationship with Funmi and after sometime he was happy he found her.

Unfortunately, he found out Funmi was pregnant for him but that wasn’t really his problem, his main problem was that she was his cousin.

Chapter one

Dejected is the perfect word to describe how Dayo felt as he laid on his bed, streak of tears flow from his eyes down to his cheeks, he has never felt so embarrassed in his life, he can take such scolding from anyone else but definitely not his dad, he was angry not with him, but with himself for being so foolish, this was the time he needed his mum the most but his dad has shut the door at any enquiry he tries to make about her, as he laid on his bed, he continued to reminisce on what has happened in the early hours of the day, he remembered how he walked into his father’s magnificent office not minding if he had a visitor.

"Give me some minutes” his dad had said before walking out to sit at the secretary’s post.

About 15minutes later, his dad walked out of his office with the guest. "Meet my son Dayo” his dad had said as the man looked amazed

”Wow, I never knew you have a son that’s this grown, how are you young man? You look just like your dad ". Dayo smiled as he stretched his hand to embrace his waiting hand, acting like a well brought up gentleman

”Good afternoon sir” he said before his father interrupted him

”He’s also an accountant in the making” he had said proudly, he loves it when his father brags about him like that.

”Hmm impressive, just like your father hun?” the man had said. Dayo was excited as a couple of other conversation ensued between them. Moments later, Dayo sat with the secretary while he waited for his dad to be back from seeing his guest off, he was about to resume the game he paused on his phone when he heard his father’s voice," sorry son, that was a very big client of the company, I needed to be given special attention “he gave Dayo a quick smile then continued”come on, let’s go to my office”.

Dayo sat on the sofa that is meant for relaxation in the office as he tunes the TV to a

Music channel. “How is school, Dayo?” his dad asked,

"Quite stressful dad, it’s getting tougher and also money sucking" Dayo replied.

His dad smiled and said, “I know you will mention that, I know you are here for money” Dayo started laughing uncontrollably “ seriously dad you don’t really get it, my laptop screen just crashed yesterday, my car needs spare tires, and the list goes on…” his dad interrupted him by asking,

” how much do you need Dayo?”

With a quick response he said “just 120k dad, that would do for now” Without looking up from his laptop screen, his dad said”I will get it across to you tomorrow, is that okay?”

"Sure dad” was Dayo’s response as he was happy he got the exact amount he needed for some new gadgets and the dinner party he needed to attend.

Dayo’s dad got up from his chair feeling a bit exhausted with work. "Hey Dayo, come and help me with this, I need to use the toilet, it’s a job from one of our big clients and I want to handle it myself, can you do this for me before I get back? “ He said as he quickly typed something into the system then continued

"I believe you should be able to do this by now” he adjusted his position so Dayo could sit on his chair while he explained to him,

"So here are the data you need, I want you to get me the asset of this man, get the liability, get the owners’ equity, I hope you know what to do?” He asked

Dayo nodded in agreement to what his dad said, although he doesn’t know how to go about it but quite sure he has heard of the words before in class but can’t really figure out the meaning ,his assignments in school where handled by a friend called Daniel, at that point he wished he had come with Daniel.

”Oh my God “he said as he tried to find a solution to it

It will be a great embarrassment for him if his dad finds out that he could not sort this out, he brought out his phone so he could Google the meaning and solution to it, but unfortunately for him, his phone battery was down, the moment he typed the topic into Google search engine, his phone shut down .His confusion grew as he tried to understand what to do with all the huge money figure on the screen”I am so fucked today" he thought to himself.
