Her Billionaire Father Offered Me ₦1 Billion to Leave Her… My Decision Changed My Life Forever!
Chapter 12
Six months later, my mother walked into a new hospital.
Her treatment was fully covered.
My sister received a scholarship.
My father rented a small house nearby.
For the first time, we had Sunday dinners together.
They weren’t perfect.
My father and I still had difficult conversations.
Sometimes anger returned.
Sometimes silence lasted too long.
But he was there.
That mattered.
Olivia and I moved into a small apartment.
Nothing luxurious.
Two bedrooms.
A tiny balcony.
A kitchen barely large enough for two people.
She loved it.
“Your billionaire father-in-law could buy this entire building,” I teased.
“He would.”
“Probably.”
She smiled.
“But I like this.”
“Why?”
She wrapped her arms around me.
“Because nobody gave it to us.”
I kissed her forehead.
One evening, we received an invitation.
Richard wanted us at his house.
When we arrived, he was standing beside a table covered with documents.
“I have news.”
Olivia sat down.
“What now?”
Richard smiled.
“The foundation has acquired three hospitals.”
I looked at him.
“And?”
“And we’ve established a scholarship program.”
“For how many students?”
“Five hundred.”
Olivia smiled.
“That sounds like you.”
Richard looked at me.
“Actually, that’s Daniel.”
I laughed.
“You’re giving me too much credit.”
“No.”
He handed me a document.
My name was at the top.
I stared.
“What is this?”
“Your appointment.”
“As what?”
“Chairman.”
I looked up.
“I don’t know how to run a foundation.”
“You know how to care about people.”
“That’s not the same thing.”
“It’s more important.”
Olivia squeezed my hand.
I signed.
Not because of the money.
Because of what the money could become.
