Three months later, Sabira was now in a sitting room with her mother and father arguing, in there mansion
"Do you understand what you asking me to do" he asked Sabira irritated,
"Yes, give them back the ownership of what is their's, is nothing huge" she snapped
"And we will zero to nothingness" asked Faduwah who was clearly bemused by her daughter's suggestions,
"Are you crazy, that means loosing all your luxury, do you know that" asked Hamood,
"Yes i know that, but i don't care to have any luxury apart from that which my husband provides for me" she said
"You know you are saying the impossible" he said,
"Aren't you scared of your sins father, it's enough, you never know what they have in store for you" she said,
"Sins" asked Faduwah,
"Oh so you don't know, well father i know you were the one who made Nuaimat's late mum to get lost in saudi and killed your uncle aunt Maya's husband because he won't just relent in looking for her" said Sabira
Faduwah was mouth agape and shock, "do you know what you are saying" she asked in a state of panic,
"Ofcause and he even killed Uncle Zakkariya, Zaid's and Zohra's father in the Numa room" said Sabira admist to tears,
Faduwah by now was in a state of total panic, "Hamood what is she saying" she asked,
Hamood who was calm as ever didn't say a word, he looked up to Sabira and said "who told you that"
"Does it matter, let them have their company back, they will be lenient i think, i don't want you caught up in something more disgracing than this" cried Sabira,
"Did you kill for all this" asked Faduwah in tears,
"I had to" he said coldly, Faduwah gave a yelp and sat down,
"You murdered our relatives because of all this, we could have being contended with the family riches" she cried
"So you don't appreciate the respect you get among other family members" he scolded,
"Respect, they loathe me, they gossip behind my back, the ones close to me is only because of the money, i am like an outcast, but i never bother because i was certain it was our hard earned money, even if the company isnt truly ours, but we worked hard, i never knew it was all bloody, Hamood why, why kill, you know Zakkariya was generous, he offered you more in that company, you were his deputy, why Hamood"
"Father give it up, before you fall woefully" said Sabira who was now by her mother's side and was consoling her,
"Give it back Hamood, i don't want anything to do with all this, all of a sudden it seems like hell hole" said Faduwah
"I will never.. but he was caught short when his P.A brought in his phone,
He talked for a while and then stood up, "something is about to go down, i have to call a meeting, with the board of director, set it up Larab" he said to his P.A and turned to leave the sitting room,
"Sire what is happening" asked the P.A as he followed his boss
"I received words from Lee Hanja, he suspects a strong opposition from some of the members of the Board and that is not a good sign" said Hamood as they head out,
"If that is the case, i will send words for the meeting sire, but i strongly advice for you bussiness partner to be also invited" said the P.A, "all 16 of them, won't that be risky, having them in one place" Hamood said,
"I feel it's for the best" said the P.A,
"Very well them, include them" said Hamood,
Today
Nuaimat, Zohra, Zaid and Muayad were already in Qatar, already in the company,
Hamood has called for the meeting, and the meeting just started, Harees, Faduwah and Sabira were there, including Uncle Jabir, grandfather Yusuf and Uncle Ahmed,
"I heard a strong.........
"We are actually glad this meeting has being called, i want to suggest the removal of the present CEO of this company" said Harees,
All eyes turned to him, "what" Hamood asked taken aback,
"What has this got to do with us, this isnt our place and concern" said an elderly woman with the name Habiba Omar a princess from Morocco who happens to be a bussines partner and was now in league with Nuaimat and co,
"She is right we left several issues to come here in respect of you Hamood" said Mr Jun hoo from korea who is also in league with Nuaimat and co,
Hamood had no explanation for them so he kept quiet,
"Of cause it matters, when something like this come up, we want to know the goings in the company we are partnering with" said Tanees who was on Hamood's side,
"Why do you suggest such" asked Uncle Jabir calmly because he already knows where this going
"Alot of things, like embezzlement of company's fund" said Harees,
"I support Harees, i suggest a new vote and a fair and just one" said Sabira, Faduwah was clearly undisturbed by any of this infact none among the memebrs except the ones not in league with Nuaimat were undisturbed , because they had it coming, they are on Nuaimat's side,
"this is madness, this is my company" yelled Hamood in rage,
"Is it" asked Sabira, Hamood was dumbstruck
"Answer her, is it" said Harees looking at his father with loath,
"What is going on here" he snapped,
"Your worst nightmare" said Nuaimat as she came in followed by Zaid, Muayad and Zohra,
"What" he exclaimed,
"I also second he should be removed as the CEO" said Zaid,
"Is he suppose or in the office to second that" asked Harry Marshall from Whales who is on Hamood's,
"Ofcause not, he isnt a board member" said Hamood clearly sweating,
" not, but he owns this company legally, we four own this company, so i think we four have the right to have a say" said Nuaimat,
"She is right" said Faduwah clearly avoiding eye contact with her shocked husband,
"Then i think we should proceed and get this done, i have work back in Abu dahbi" said Salim Shamsudeen who was with Nuaimat,
"Those in support of removing Hamood as the CEO of this company please indicate by saying yay or Nay as his P.A writes it down" suggested Tanees, who intentionally said the P.A because he thought he will rig the outcome to Hamoods favour, everyone agreed,
"Starting with the Board, Jabir" added Tanees eagerly,
"Yay" replied Uncle Jabir which shocked Hamood
"Yusuf"
"Yay" he said,
"Ahmed"
"Yay" he said, this three shocked Hamood to the marrow as well as Tanees, then he set to ask the other members,
'Harees"
"Yay" Harees said dryly,
"Sabira"
"Yay" she said coldy giving her father the i told you look,
"FADUWAH" called Tanees, stressing the name as if to warn her or make her recall what is at stake, Faduwah looked at her husband, with that alot of past incidents floe in and out of her head,
"NAY" she said, Hamood nearly leapt with joy, Faduwah looked up at Nuaimat and Nuaimat gave her a job well-done smile and nod, she did as she was pleaded with to do,
The thing is that Nuaimat met Faduwah that morning alone, Faduwah apologized and there Nuaimat advised her to vote for her husband, let him have the support of one person he cares for,
Tanees smiled and turning to the remaining four directors, "Mr.Salman"
"Nay" he said, with another smile Tanees turned to the rest and the remaining four all voted for Hamood, it was now five five, Hamood gave Nuaimat a smirk
"Now to our bussines Partners" said Harees,
"Are we included" asked Tanees,
"You said and i quote 'when something like this come up, we want to know the goings in the company we are partnering with' said Harees,
"Yes but, maybe not everyone wants to take part" said Tanees,
"I adhere to what you first said Tanees, so i suggest we vote too" said Georgia D.C from the US and in league with Nuaimat
"Fine" said Tanees,

"Respective people in this meeting room we have, out of 25 votes, we have 13 Nays and 12 Yays" said the P.A, Hamood clapped with smiles,
"Remaining your vote Mr.Hamood" said Harees coldly, "do i need to, i mean its clear" said Hamood with a smirk,
"You may need it" said Harees with a shrug,
"Mine is Nay" said Hamood and laughed out loud,
"Then our vote as the owners of this company" said Zaid and that took Hamood by surprise,
"That is only fair" said El Amin with a smirk,

"Zaid"
"Yay"
"Zohra"
"Yay"
"Nuaimat"

"The Yays have it" said Harees, Hamood was so shocked to utter a word,
Nuaimat with a smirk walked some steps towards Hamood, "uncle Hamood" she called, he turned to her, "CHECKMATE" she said, "what' he exclaimed,
"I told you, life is always a game of chess, i took down all your pawns, took a rook, a knight, a Bishop, and let you with your queen and you the king , and then i CHECKMATE YOU" she said and then turned to the former minster in Nigeria, "i told your pawn to tell you, It's a pity, you weren't even in the game,
She then turned to the rest and said "thank you all for your participation, the appointment of a new CEO tomorrow, same time same place and this time around, i wouldn't need the participation of the company's bussiness partners, thank you once more and have a good day ahead" with that she turned and headed out, the rest followed suit,
Everyone rose to leave, Hamood rose with mixed feelings, he never have the thought Nuaimat and co knew about the company he set up, so he asked his P.A to set a date for a secret meeting with the 16 bussiness partners, including those who voted against him, he will deal with that later, Hamood caught Faduwah about to go out followed by her children, Uncle Jabir, Uncle Ahmed and Grandpa Yusuf,
"Faduwah, i thought.....
"You thought i will vote against you, yes you thought right, i wanted to, but i decided to show some support to the muderer of a husband i have, how could you, yes i enjoy the life of luxury you put before us, but not from blood money, forGod's sake they were your relatives, Zakkariya loved you like his own blood brother, yes i sat back and watch you run their company because i was satisfied with Zaid's portion over in Nigeria, but i won't sit back and enjoy blood money, the blood of my Cousin, your cousin Hamood" she cried,
"We will do you a favour Hamood by letting this murder secret between us here, we will leave faith to punish you" said Grandfather Yusuf and went out, followed by the two uncles, "i will fix this, i will fix it, trust me, we gonna be fine, it will look as if we loosed everything but i assure you i am working on something" he said rest assured
"You are a sick man Hamood, you think am not happy about this, i am happy, i participated in doing whats right, i will be free of the guilt, nevertheless i will stay with you, cause i know you did all of that for us to have a better life, but i won't speak for your children" with that Faduwah walked out, Harees also pulled Sabira out.
In the limousine heading to the Hotel they logged in, "are the paper work all ready" Zaid asked Muayad,
"Ready boss" she said scrolling her I.Pad,
"The buyers" he asked
"Ready" she replied
"Date" he asked
"Waiting for the text" said Zohra and she added "which just came in" waving her i.phone
"Do you think sky blue suits my skin" asked Nuaimat looking at Zohra,
"Yes, especially your eyes" said Zohra
"All right" said Nuaimat,
"But i like green on you" said Zohra
"Green" asked Nuaimat looking at Zohra, Zohra nodded,
"Wow, thank you" said Nuaimat and turned back to her phone.
Muayad and Zaid exchanged a knowing look and shook their heads.
