28  New Home

    Instead of driving towards her home, David immediately took to the highway as he began driving towards his new home.

"So my David is now a Billionaire" Fadila said with a huge grin on her face

"Oh!, it's now 'my' David?" David questioned as the two laughed

"What?... it's as you say, when the money comes, the women will come as well"

"Ah! Using my own words against me" David said but inside he was bursting with joy.

     Despite how he always tried to say all he did in a playful manner, anyone could still tell that he liked her and sometimes, he thought even she knew and was only ignoring it as it may ruin the friendship.

"I am but if I see any girl near you, I will bury you alive" Fadila said in a surprisingly serious tone even if it was masked in a playful manner.

"You and I know, that is not a problem"

"Usually isn't until the money gets to your head"

"Wait, is this really happening... you actually agree, you know I said wife not girlfriend right?"

[Sir, with all due respect, you are an idiot]

"Huh?" David replied mentally but the A.I never gave an answer n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Well I never rejected you, you never even asked... do you know how long I have been waiting?"

    Hearing her, a wide smile appeared on his face. His friends were out there chasing everything under a skirt and getting fooled left and right meanwhile he had someone faithful to him even before he began going after her.

"Are you crying?" Fadila asked

"No!... why would I be doing that, oh look we're here" David said said as he quickly changed the subject

     He honestly couldn't understand what had just happened but he liked it. He knew that having all he had now, had definitely boosted his confidence after all true confident men were the capable ones.

      Anything else was make believe, however his confidence didn't automatically mean that he will bag the girl but here he was with a new girlfriend.

"David, where are we?" Fadila asked suspicious as David took the dirt road that led up the mountain.

"Our new home"

"Which kind place is this, I have said it, this boy wants to use me for ritual!" She shouted as David broke out in laughter

"No, no don't worry, you'll understand soon" David said to assure her as he continued driving.

     The drive up the mountain took about three minutes but soon, David could see a large gate in the distance. It wasn't there when he did the inspection with the government agents.

     Since it wasn't there then, he concluded that it was created by the builder bots to keep unwanteds out of the property.

"Wait here" David said as he went down to try and open the gate.

      He didn't know exactly if the gate itself was a high tech one or just a regular gate. Either way he didn't know how to open it. If it was a regular one then he needed a key which he didn't have.

      If it was a high tech one then he could simply get Nous to open it. Thankfully it was the latter as he made Nous open the gates.

"Turns out, it's automated" David said as he got into the car

"How can you have a house and not even know how to open the gate"

"Well I wasn't here when the gate was installed" David replied truthfully as he drove into the house.

     As soon as he drove in, he saw the difference which was like night and day. The place that was previously filled with grass and weed was now neatly arranged.

     A finished and well built road appeared as soon as the gates opened. From the very gates to his actual destination.

     David could see ornamental plants everywhere, there was an outdoor swimming pool that looked like it was made for a whole community. A small tennis court as though he played the sport.

      As he drove further, the small basketball court presented itself and a bit off to its side was a large field that was just empty so he assumed it was a play area for football or just resting.

     Apart from that, he also spotted several other building apart from the main building. All of which were large and clearly empty, those weren't in his plans so he had no idea what the buildings were for.

    The runway was rebuilt and even upgraded and a little bit away from it was a large helipad. Then there was the main house, a marvel that simply said 'hey, I'm rich and definitely better than you'

    It was a modern house that had a minimalist and sleek design. The painting scheme is mostly dark gray, with some contrast of white and wood. It's flat roof and large glass windows seemed to make it look even much better

"David, you said you bought this house right"

"No, I bought the mountain then built the house" David corrected as he pulled into his drive way.

     With the car parked and close to the house, he could finally see how big the house actually was. It was a two-story building but somehow it was bigger than regular two-story buildings.

[Your bio-metrics have all been encoded into the housing system allowing you access to all levels and floors of the mountain]

"You guys created an underground part?" David asked the A.I in surprise

[Well it is to be expected, I would suggest taking her down to the underground lounge... it has a view of the newly redesigned river] Nous advised as David gave a mental thank you.

"You bought the mountain?" Fadila finally asked after a while of trying to process what he had said

"Yes, turns out that the government has a list of properties that they confiscated from drug dealers, corrupt politicians etc that they need to sell to make money hence this place" David said proudly.

"Then who did this place belong to before?"

"Some drug dealer named Abdulazeem Friday, he's dead now though... electric chair" David answered even if he had long since found out more about the person.

    The truth was that the Abdulazeem Friday guy was just a cover. The house was purchased in his name for the purchase to be made legal but th house belonged to the notorious drug lord, Pablo Escobar.

    According to Nous, the house was built as a safe house for when he had no other places to go. Of course, he had better safe houses but if he did come to Nigeria to hide, David doubted that anyone would think he was actually here

Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
