At first they thought it just some clout, the house was incredibly huge and so was the fenced environs, there were small buildings apart from the main building.
It was a modern house and it was massive.
"Dee it has an elevator." Tera squealed, the girls hopped into one, leaving the adults downstairs.
"This is the best so far, do you like it Mom?"
"Yes, very much.
"Alright, have her sign the papers." Jenna said to Lance, he nodded and turned to Jenna's Mom
"Right this way ma'am." He led her to the coffee table.
"The estate have an agency for house maintenance and they will be here the days you approve..." She nodded with understanding, she had her glasses on and she read the house documents.
This was all so sudden, She came back and she was already buying a mansion and improving her living condition, she looked at Jenna who laid on the new couch they just moved in yesterday.
She looked peaceful but she couldn't help but feel horrible for what she went through.
"Big sis, can you get me a phone?"
"Sure.
"I want an iphone" they took up her phone to browse through which phone was trendy.
"I want one like yours."
"Iphone is the best.
"You're so simple.
"Ooh, big sis can we order pizza?"
"There's a chef, call him to make it for you."
"What?
"A chef
"Someone that cooks for us.
"Yes, he cooks for us.
"A man cooks for us?"
"Yes, because it's his job."
It was quite weird to accept the fact the fact that a man cooked for them
"The breakfast we had was made by a man.
"Yes, the leaf design on your milk tea , he made that."
"Should we call him?
"Yeah, use the landline on the island table."
Truly it felt like a dream, their lives in this house in a big estate as this one was something exceptional.
Mother was begining to look healthy and wore brand new clothes and jewels that suited her style, her colleagues at work saw this and couldn't help but question her about this secret
It was a mother's pride that their child become something in the society, Jenna's Mom didn't hold back gist as to the fact that her first daughter is a wealthy person.
It was plausible to some extent but people would still be in doubt at the new found wealth, they weasel their way into making Mom to invite them over.
"Mum take a look at this." Jenna said as she shifted a chair to where her mother sat, her mother squinted her eyes at the tablet.
"What is it?"
"It's suppose to be a politician cover for laundering, but for some reason it fell through and the government auctioned it.
"Is it a farm?"
"Yes it's a farm. It's situated in different states.
"So they auctioned it, for how much?"
"They just bid until they can't keep up. So the farm has been advanced and made into something more, let's say this farm makes tomatoes. Tomatoes can be made into something else like ketchup so it needs to be processed.
"Mhm
"The farm can either sell to manufacturers or make the ketchup on it own, you know have it's own factory.
"Having a factory is more costly
"But there are investors, so finances won't be a problem. Factory and manufacturer, then another would be to supply to the public market and individual retailer and wholesalers.
"Like a delivery service?
"Yes.
"There's a lot of zeros here and they are in dollars.
"Mom, focus, farm. Not expenses, that's for the investors. We are working the maths now, that's for the accountants
"Okay I understand.
"This farm company deals with growing processing, selling and delivering farm products. What's left?"
"The money
"Mother
"Someone to manage it
"Yes, yes." Jenna sighed. The middle ages woman looked at her and back at the iPad that had the graph of certain possibilities.
"Okay, go get a manager or something.
"Can you manage the company?"
"I have work, I clearly have a job."
Within the hour, Mother was stamping and signing papers.
"Why is Ethiopia on the contract, it's like they would supply something to what?"
Jenna shook her head and said lowly.
"It's a continent business, you're about to win the continent with food."
"What?
"You would have this part of the world in your hand."
"Have you had investors on this already.
"Yes, the estimate was to be around a billionor more I think." She shrugged
"A billion what
"A billion dollars, let's celebrate." She opened the winery and brought out one Chateau Lafite 1869.
"She won't like this one." She put it back and took up a lambrusco, it was still sweet and less alcoholic.
That was how Jenna retired her mother, low-key, she made the woman an empire that would make it to the news little by little. This was more like foundation
"You really did it." Lance said as dropped his head on the couch rest
"It's going well as planned.
"You sound confident, if you can really draw them out with this the rest won't sit still.
"They don't have that much choice, they are natural leeches. Let them come." She took another drag from the slick black cigarette, the jacuzzi did wonders, the water was almost boiling hot but it didn't bother her, her skin didn't redden nor did she look uncomfortable.
"They're bidding their time, war is coming.
"War already started the day they made me what I am. Killing everyone isn't fun ..
"Did you change your mind because of him?
"No, I did not change my mind. I'm not out for revenge anymore, I'm out to play." She smile sheepishly.
"You know that they would underestimate you, that's an advantage.
"They're quite prideful, an half-bred would die dishonorably they said. They are welcome to try."
"I enjoyed my stay here, so far it's the only place I've felt warmth in a long time
"Too bad you have to be in London tomorrow Eve."
"Too bad, enjoy pulling strings from where you are while I dirty my hands for you.
"That you do best."
