Mr. Mark is the CEO of the Crown Group of Companies. The company aims to produce roofing sheets in the country. The company is also known as the largest in that region and has been ranked second in the world.
Mr. Mark has a reputation for embarrassing everyone who has ever worked under him. He has this stingy mind, even with his family members. He has just one child whom he loves so much. He cannot do without hearing the voice of his child. Even with his stinginess, he cannot overlook his child's welfare.
“Uncle, please help me out with a job." As you can see, I’m done with my education, and Abdul was so happy after seeing his uncle come home to visit them. “You know that things are on the high side now. I’m just not having the opportunity to employ anyone for now, but I will ask my friends.” Mr. Mark did not have the mind to help his family members, being the stingy type. “Alright, uncle, but can I come to your house to stay for the time being?” Abdul asked politely, although they all knew the kind of person he was, but just wanted to pull his legs. Meanwhile, Abdul has this character of changing to a different person when he’s been hurt unjustly, most especially when he’s not getting what he wanted. “I’m not always at home, and my wife, on the other hand, is a busy type." So, maybe I will alert you during my break”, Mr. Mark said quietly, but was still had the stingy habit within him. “What about the money to take my dad, your brother, to the hospital for the operation? You know you promised to send it last week, but you did not send it," Abdul reminded him. "i cant call him my brother if he cannot help me in my present predicament after making him who he is today. I singlehandedly sent him to the university and paid for all his bills, but now I'm his worst enemy. Abdul's dad was so furious with his words and his brother. “I did not forget you, brother, but I am still working on something. besides the country is not smiling,” he replied.
“That money you don’t want to spend after my dad has helped you, you will spend it by force when the time comes,” Abdul said within him as he had a hateful plan within him.
A few weeks later: “Please, I have a deal to give to you guys. Although I will be partially involved”, Abdul said to his guys, who had been chilling out together. “Just let the cat out of the bag," one of them said. “This job will make us rich overnight,” Abdul said as he smiled looking at his friends keenly. “Just tell us this business and we will be fully involved,” another one said. “We will kidnap my uncle’s only daughter and place her on hostage”, others were shocked to hear this from him. “Why do we have to do that to your uncle?” one raised an alarm. “He’s a stingy type who does not want to release his money to help anyone. He does not even want to help anyone, even though he can. And besides, his wealth was just through the help of my dad. My dad spent his last money just to make him who he is today,” Abdul said.
MEUM MARE
They planned and at last succeeded in kidnapping the girl on her way from the school, and she was kept as a hostage.
That day, they did not call him but just waited until the next day before putting a call across to him. But then, he started searching for his daughter. He searched and had wanted to involve the police before the kidnappers’ call came in.
“If you want to see your daughter alive, you need to pay the sum of twenty million Naira. You must not involve the police, or else we will have to break the rules and do the needful,” one of them said as he handed the phone to Mr. Mark's daughter just for him to hear her voice.
“I will cooperate and do the needful,” he said.
The location, day, and time at which he would drop the money were given to him. A few hours later, Abdul had to show his face to Sara, Mr. Mark’s daughter.
“Are you part of the plan?” she asked as she was shocked to see him.
"When I needed help from your dad, he refused to render the help even though he had the ability to help. My father, his elder brother, is lying there sick, but your dad cannot bother to help him out. My dad spent his last cash sending your dad through his education, and now he has to turn his back on that same person who made him who he is today. So, I did not hold you hostage just to do something to you, but to get money from him so as to take my dad to the hospital for the operation,” Abdul cried out.
“That's bad of my dad." I have known him to be a stingy being, but not to his elder brother. Can you guys increase the pay to 50 million so as to treat your father? My dad has more than what you guys know he has. He will pay. I knew clearly how stingy he is. I also know that he has not been helping his family members except the outsiders. My uncle must be saved no matter what since I have been kept hostage”, Sara said as they all opened their mouths to watch her speak.
He was called back for a change of plan and an increase in the initial money. He did not dispute the fact that the money had increased. “I will pay in as far as my daughter is safe”, he said.
Instead of the money being dropped somewhere, the girl said the money should be paid into her account and will transfer it to them immediately it she sees alert. They were doubting her, but Abdul agreed. A day later, they called Mr. Abdul to send the money to her daughter's account for safety purpose, although he was been worried.
Within few minutes, he made the transfer, and Sara transferred the money to them completely. Sara was still happy being kept hostage by his family members, as she was just not happy remaining lonely in her house. That last minute, she was released.
“Dad, you need to change this your character of not helping your people. Your nature is not helping issues. I overheard one of the kidnappers saying my father is a stingy man, which I found to be true,” Sara said. He promised to change henceforth and to leave a better life.
