Alex beign a young boy with little understanding anticipated Toms arrival. After veiw munites, Anabelle and James arrived at the airport to pick up their son. They were so happy to see him after a long time.

"Tom my dear son am so happy to see you. How have you been". Anabelle asked excitedly. " Am fine and I hope you and dad are doing great? " Tom replied. "Besides you have a new cousine waiting for you at home. " James informed Tom. "What! Cousine. How come you guys know I dont like sharing my space with anyone". Tom lamented. " I know Tom but we have no other choice than to accept him. He just lost his parents and he does not have any othet place to stay we are his only close relatives. But trust me I wont allow him take your space. " Anabelle consoled him. " Okey mom as long as he dosent disturb me. " Tom replied.

They arrived home and everyone was excited to receive him. Alex was very excited about his arrival. He rushed out to hug him but was meet with a very unpleasant attitude. Tom made sure he didnt near him and pushed him aside in a disgusting manner then he told Rose to take his bag upstairs.

Anabelle and James didnt mind his behaviour since he was going to become the hair to the family's business so it is natural to act that way sometimes. Everybody went in hapily except Alex who had a very unplesant expression. He wondered what he did that made Tom treat him that way. He waved it aside and went in with the rest hoping Tom will come down latter.

The dinning table was filled with various type of dish prepared to celebrate Tom's arrival. Everybody ate happily except Alex who was noy happy about Toms attitude towards him. Suddenly, James informed them that he will be enroling both James and Tom in a school the next day. "You guys should prepare towards tomorrow. I will be enrolling you in a school tomorrow so make sure you wake up early. Everyone had a wonderful dinner and retired to their room.

James was about to lay down on the bed when Anabelle obstructed his action. " James, dont you think we should talk about something? "Anabelle asked. " And what should that be? "James asked. " It's about enrolling both Tom and Alex in the same school". Anabelle stated. "And what abou that" James asked. "I dont think it will be comfortable to put them in the same school besides I dont think we should spend much money on Alex. His parents didnt leave us any property and gave everything to him which is not fair enough so we should not be so nice to him. " Anabelle stated. "I understand your point but it will not look fair to him besides his property is in our hands till he his eighteen so we got no much worries for now concrning spending on him". James replied. " If you say so then" Anabelle replied. "Dont worry your self to much and go to bed". James said. " Okey" Replied Anabelle
