John a tall handsome, brown completion, Egyptian, with
shoulder length black wavy hair, laid unconscious in the ICU at
one of the best hospitals in New York City. The companies
attorneys had summons
his mother, his first wife from Egypt, his second wife in the
US, and the mistress from Paris, to the hospital. The doctor’s
were not sure if John would make it or not.
Perhaps their tears were genuine, perhaps not, no one could say
for sure. Each had secrets, each had a reason to want John to
fully recover, or not, depending on their personal agenda.
John always had pernicious dreams about being in a hospital,
with three women, who desperately wanted him to die, in order to
secure a part of his families massive fortune. This is why he
had prepared legal documents with details on what was to take
place, in case of his death or sudden illness.
Even while John laid helpless and almost lifeless in the
hospital bed, each woman kept her distance in the ICU visitor’s
lounge. John was a wealthy, handsome man who enjoyed the company
of each of the three women in his life. He provided respect, yet
did not lie when asked about his relationship with any of the
three women.
John was born in Egypt and had been raised by his father who repeatedly told him that it was his birth right to have three wives as long as he could afford them. And because the laws in Egypt supported his father's teachings, John took the lesson to heart.

His mother felt differently and left John’s father when John was
eleven years old. She moved to the U.S. with her older sister
and brought her only child,
Razaul,
with her. She had legally changed
Razaul's name to John,
by the time he was twelve years old.
John had never forgotten what his father had taught him. And
when he reached his 18th birthday, he visited his father several
months before his father’s unexpected death. It had been during
this long visit to Egypt, that John received, conditional, ownership of his father’s
multi-billion dollar shipping business.
The instructions for John’s receivership of the business was
explicit and in detail. He was to graduate from an Ivy League
College in America, with a major in International Business.
He was to
spend two years as an intern, in his own company before
he could inherit the business. An advisory board would assist
him in running the company, until he was 35 years of age.
John had jumped at the idea of becoming one of the world’s most
wealthiest men in six years, just by following his father’s
instructions.
Back in the US, his mother never express her approval or disapproval. There was no doubt she was happy for John, however, her income was already established by John’s father, as was his other two wives, even though she had left him without the benefit of an Egyptian divorce.

John’s mother and her family were Christians, which was only
about twenty five pre-cent of the 14 million people living in
Cairo. It had made sense for her to remove herself and her son
from Egypt, at least in her mind.
Now, her only child laid in a hospital bed. Over worked and
stressed from travel, two wives and a
mistress, John’s mother realized the enormous amount of pressure
her son was under. A massive heart attack was the
diagnoses. And he, like his father, had put into place,
legal documents outlining what would happen should he be involved
in an accident, or became seriously ill.
His mother was to be the administrator of his estate, with
guidance from the companies attorneys. His second wife had agreed to this
arrangement prior to marriage. In fact his second wife and
her family had agreed to a lot of things, prior to the marriage.
John had known better than to test the US laws on marriage. He
had married his second wife in New York, where he and his mother
lived. His mistress lived in Paris, and was the stop off point
between New York and Cairo, when traveling. His first
wife, whom he married in Egypt, while completing his internship,
understood that her husband had a second wife and a mistress,
who was really a third wife without a marriage license. Of the
three women, the mistress, was the most independent.
The first wife and the mistress stayed at the same hotel
suite while visiting John in the hospital. They understood the laws of Egypt and seemed to
accept each other, at least on the surface. John’s mother tried
to be polite and accommodating to the first wife and the John's
mistress, but she understood that this up set John’s American wife
and she tried to be as discreet as possible.
Her son had a vasectomy when he was 26, and this was a closely
guarded secret between John, his mother and his attorney. John‘s reasoning for
the vasectomy stemmed from his father‘s story about how it
pained his heart when his first wife took his only son and left
Egypt. John’s reaction to protect himself from this kind of
manipulation, was to submit to a vasectomy and have his sperm
frozen. Before his heart attack, he had made no decisions about
children, even at the late age of 40.
The second wife and her family was of the
Christian faith, yet had used the old Muslim ways of negotiating
the marriage between John and their daughter. Their daughter
having been born in the US was more prone to the US way of life,
and did not appreciate the fact that her husband had a first wife in
Egypt who he fully intended to keep.
The acceptance of the Egyptian law, by the second wife’s family,
surely was based on the fact that the family would be marring
into one of the world’s most wealthiest families. Even with the
marriage prenuptials, their daughter and her family would be
privileged to a certain standard of life, which would not have
been possible without John's massive wealth.
The US born wife, nor her family, was ever made aware of John’s
inability to father a child naturally.
As days passed into weeks, the doctors were more optimistic, and
the chances of John’s recover greatly increased.
Out of the five women involved who stood to gain financially, if
John were to pass away, the two wives of John’s father,
in Egypt, his mother, and his two wives, it was the
mistress who kept a visual over him day and night.
It was the mistress who provided the love necessary for John to pull away from death and back into the life of the living. It was the mistress who rose above the secrecy of the wealthy, the power, the other women, and the men who wanted John, sexually. It was the mistress who surpassed the drama and reached out spiritually, mentally and emotionally to the man whom she loved deeply.
When no one else was in his hospital room, she would speak to him about their past sexual encounters. she would remember each detail and express the joy of their love making, which they had experienced when together. She spoke softly and almost whispered into his ear.
There were moments when she was almost sure he understood, yet he remained unconscious for over 3 weeks, before finally opening his eyes.
It was the woman from Paris, whose unquestionable commitment to Razaul John Son of Akufu, who showed him the spiritual path, back to the living, as he fought for his life in the ICU.

It’s not something that John could explain, nor did he ever
discuss his dreams while unconscious after he recovered.
However, upon regaining a resemblance of his normal life, John
is spending a lot more time in Paris.
