While in the kitchen, she lit the gas cooker and got the frying pan, emptied the three liters of vegetable oil into it and allowed it to heat. While she watched the oil heat up, she muttered.'I have endured enough, Mr. Beck Aaron, it is time for you to endure too.’When the vegetable oil was hot to her satisfaction, she carried it gently with a pad and headed towards the guest room. Then, she pushed the door gently with her elbow and tiptoed into the room. Although, the lights were off, but she could see her prey on the bed with the rays of the light from the security lights outside. Then, she walked on. For the first time, she hated the size of the room because she needed to take a good number of steps before she could get to the bed. Now, the heat from the oil was not helping matters, either. She was worried that the oil may get cold, or the heat reduced, thereby not allowing her to achieve her aim. Meanwhile, Beck had stopped snoring. Mama also stopped suddenly and observed her

Although, all his family members were entitled to medical care, but the General Manager revoked that privilege. As the Medical Director, he could take the initiative to treat the patients there and wait for the reaction of Mr. Angus, but he chose not to create more problems for Mr. Owens.Meanwhile, Dr. Dixon had a private hospital and when he got a distressed call from Evans, he went along with an ambulance and that eased the trouble of transporting the victims. Then, Mr. Beck and Sarah were taken to the Intensive Care Unit of the Promise Land Clinic. On entering the hospital, the atmosphere changed. The staff on duty were all shocked to behold the face of Beck, but the only person who was composed was his assistant, whom he went to the house with. Then, some workers thought that Beck was dead because his face was beyond recognition. The flesh had shrank and the blisters were broken on their own, and his breathing was shallow. After their admission, Evans, who had accompanied them t

Now, George's and Lilian's response with wide smiles on their faces, brought a great relief to Frank The youngsters were aware that with him around, there would not be any dull moment for them. On Sarah and her husband's return, they had to announce the doctor's suggestions. Therefore, while they were at the dining table, Sarah quickly reported.“The doctor suggested that papa should be flown to India for a surgery as soon as possible.”“Ind…what? Do you mean the India that is in his village?”Ada asked sarcastically, “Ind… Village. Yes, the India that is in his village. If he must be flown to India, he should provide the money, period.”Uju suggested with finality.“In my opinion, if the money is there, we should give it a try. I am not convinced that sending him abroad will be too much on all of us. In my opinion, we should not be responsible for his death. No matter what, he is your father. We can't fold our hands and do nothing.”Now, Mama's words made them to view the matter f

Nevertheless, Sarah was resting at home with her family the next day, and Mrs. Eze was the last person she had hoped to see. Sarah had never visited her house, and she had carefully avoided anything that would bring her to her house either. When she returned from the hospital the previous day, her staff members had visited and encouraged her. They saw her sisters and commented on their semblance, and they were careful not to ask too many questions about her father and she liked it so, but to her surprise, Mrs. Eze was not in the team because she would like to visit her personally.Now, the much dreaded staff member showed up, and she was lost of what to do. “She did not ask me to have the problem that would bring her to my house.”Sarah mumbled. Having kept her away on many occasions with the excuse that she would not be at home. That day, she was aware that Sarah was ill and must be at home. Furthermore, She was aware that her father was at the hospital on admission and above all, t

“Mrs. Owens, can you prepare the food alone? I can assist you do that if you don't mind. I don’t really have much to do at home.”Although, Mrs. Owens did not object verbally to her offer, but the unsatisfactory look on her face spoke volume. Then, she ignored it and continued with her quest to spend more time with her.“You know you are not yet strong enough to carry out stressful tasks.” The beloved, nice and caring staff member, volunteered. While Sarah thought of how to respond to her offer, her husband yelled. “Sarah.”“Yes, dear. Kindly give me a moment.” Sarah answered. Then, she looked into Mrs. Eze's eyes to dismiss her, but she came up with another excuse.“Oh! Mr. Owens, you didn't even offer me anything. This is very much unlike you.”Now, Sarah's countenance changed, and she quickly declared.“Have a nice day, Mrs. Eze.”Without waiting for her response, she walked briskly into the house and banged the door. 'You can remain there if it pleases you.'She mumbled. Then,

'A toad does not run in the daytime for nothing, it is either something is chasing it or it is chasing something. I have not committed any crime and cannot remember owing anyone. Ten of the Chief Priests can come to my house, I’m not perturbed.'Emma concluded before he responded to the greeting.“I greet you, Chief Priest. What do I owe this visit?” He requested angrily.“Mr. Aaron, I greet you, and I also bring you greetings from the gods of our land.”Said Chief Priest after he walked into his hut. He was holding his ofor – a symbol of power and authority, which was calved from a wood. He wore a red cap with numerous eagle feathers, which indicated his present and past achievements.Meanwhile, Mr. Aaron was seating in his hut when the Chief Priest walked in. His sitting position in the hut was conspicuous, and no one dared to sit on it, whether in his presence or absence. Now, the Chief Priest dragged the small wooden chair in the hut and sat close to him. Then, Emma responded.“Y

“You see! You all are my witnesses, it's not just me who knew about the land. So, how can we allow that small community to snatch away such massive land from us?" The leader of the group who had his selfish interest in engaging in the battle said. He raised a war song, which others chorused and matched to the land of Umuezune.“Nzogbu”“Enyimba, Enyi”“Nzogbu”“Enyimba, Enyi”With this pro-war song, he led the five hundred and fifty-two trained warriors of Umuaku into Umuezune land. Now, the youths of Umuezune were not prepared. Even if they were, they were not as strong as their opponents, neither were they equal to them in number.To their dismay, the smaller community defeated them, despite their weapons and their trained warriors. They died in their hundreds. Since then, the community respected Ikenga and its Chief Priest. That was the clear meaning of the Ibo proverbs that says:'A cow without tail; its god chases away flies on its behalf.'Now, the mighty had fallen because the

Then, Emma repeated the Chief Priest’s story to her, without adding or subtracting any information from what he told him.“What is the meaning of this problem? Why will this man be creating problems for himself and the people around him?”Now, Emma, who was fuming with anger, kept mute. Although, his wife was not happy either, but she had to be strong at least.“I think it is appropriate to inform his children.”His wife advised. However, Emma, who had not thought of that, heaved a sigh of relief. Even though informing his children may not yield any results, but at least he had acted.“I think you are right, Obidiya. I have not thought of that, but I will contact the children as soon as possible. It is said that the anger of a brother does not get to the bone. In any case, he is still my brother.”Emma claimed before he asked his wife after he had calmed down.“How was it at the farm today?” “It was fine. I did the little I can and started coming back home after I noticed that you w

At the General Manager's HouseAfter Moses' was settled, and Tony satiated with accomplishment, he had the problem of informing his wife of his encounter with Moses. He recalled their first night, and how she cried when he mentioned Bruno. Breaking such news to her would get her worked up, and remind her that she lived with an animal for several years. However, he had no choice but to make their meeting known to her.“What if she finds out on her own?” He reasoned, and braced up. That night, after they had their dinner, and ensured that the twins were settled in their room with Susan's mother, he broached the topic.“What!” Susan exclaimed, after listening to his narration.“It's unfortunate,” he added, and monitored her countenance. To his expectation, she was sad, but he could not decipher her reason for that. After a few seconds of awkward silence, she asked, “What is the boy doing currently?” Although, he was uncertain about her reasons for asking, but her tone expressed genuine co

The Next DayAfter the meeting of the previous day, Silas contacted Cyprian and Moses, and they were very excited to hear from the organization. Meanwhile, they promised to be available for a meeting at an agreed time. Nevertheless, they were nervous because they were unsure of what to expect. To their chagrin, when they arrived, Silas led them to the tenth floor, but to another office that had a strong security system. Instantly, Mr. Huntington gave Silas an inquiry look when he saw the Group Managing Director inscription on the lintel of the office. Likewise, Silas was expressionless, which was difficult for him to discern.“After you,” he announced after he opened the door, and held it for them to walk in.“Thank you, for this, Mr. Jack,” he appreciated, and they walked in. Soon, they were in an office that could be mistaken for the office of the President of a Nation. Apart from Tony, they saw two unfamiliar faces. All the same, they were encouraged by the welcoming smile on their

At the HotelAfter they collected, the drugs, they gave Silas their contacts, and returned to the hotel fulfilled. To the Hotel Manager's expectations, Moses was elated. Although, he could not meet his biological father, who he would have loved to kill, but he was happy that he met someone who succored him.“Ensure that you don't disappoint the doctor by taking your drugs as he prescribed. Did you get me?” Cyprian advised.“I got you, Sir,” he responded happily. When the manager noticed that, he teased, “Do you still wished to see your father?”He fixed his eyes on him, and waited for his response. Meanwhile, Moses furrowed his brow in annoyance, and answered, “I have seen my father.” Cyprian smiled happily and confirmed, “I love that. Let's wait for the results of the test by the doctor.”“Okay, boss. Permit me to ask, what was the reason for the test? Do I look sick?”Nevertheless, the question took Cyprian unawares, but he concealed it, “I think you are. Especially when he discover

Presently, Moses was eager to see his supposed father and unleash his fury on him. He watched the adults discuss, but smiled inwardly when he heard Silas mistook him for the Hotel Manager's son, and waited for feedback.“In the office?” Tony asked. He could not remember anyone with such a name or inviting someone to the office. Nevertheless, as a family man, who just hosted many relations during the Thanksgiving, he reasoned that the man and his son could be members of his extended family or Susan's, who needed assistance.“Come with them,” Tony responded, and Silas agreed. He turned and looked at the excited guests, and ordered, “Submit your phones and come with me.”“Noted Sir,” the guests complied while Silas turned to his order, who had joined them after parking the car, and instructed, “Get the shuttle bus.”“Okay, boss,” he responded, and walked briskly out of the office. In a short while, the team was in the General Manager's office. Likewise, Cyprian appreciated the respect th

“I hope this mail would get to him,” he murmured. To ensure that Moses was stable, he sent for him, and informed him of the progress that he had made so far. The understanding that someone was interested in his matter, cheered him up, and he was grateful, “I appreciate your efforts, sir.”“Don't mention. Let's wait for three working days, as the automatic message said. If we don't hear from him, we will have no choice, but to pay him a visit.”“It is all right, Sir. Thank you for your concern.”“You are welcome.”Afterward, Moses left, and returned to his work.Three Days Later.Now, the Manager was more anxious than Moses. Curiously, he wished to get to the bottom of the publication, which could be misleading if Tony had a child somewhere previously while the publication said that he just welcomed his first babies. Nevertheless, he got a response, and was glad at the progress, “At least, they responded,” he mumbled. Meanwhile, he was able to get the email address of the General Manag

“Wait. I need to get his approval,” the security guard informed. Now, Susan's colleagues were more in number. They were aware of her pregnancy, but never attributed it to the General Manager. Likewise, it was difficult for the GMD and his wife to get out of the reception, but Silas was able to make a way for them. Not only that, Cyril was also trapped in the crowd. He could not even get close to the security guards and explain himself.At the Hotel.Since the day Bruno left the company almost two years ago, he had suffered much humiliation. Despite the ejection from his house by Felix, and Ella subjecting him to queue up like her clients, before he could sleep with her, running into a transformed Cyril as a taxi driver, was the worst humiliation he had received so far. Nevertheless, after he discharged his passenger, he got the day's paper and returned to the hotel. He did not have the zeal to continue to work, so he took a break, to brood over the epiphany he had that day.“How can t

Cyril got to the General Manager's house in high spirit, and walked in. To his dismay, the main house was locked, and the three male domestic staff members were unaware of the good news. After the greetings, he inquired, “Has the boss left for work?”“No. He left the house last night with his family,” one of them explained.“I see,” he replied, and walked back to his car, and did not bother to discuss the delivery with them.“What must have happened to Mr. Angus? Is he a taxi driver? I doubt, but he looks tattered and emaciated,” he mulled over his encounter with his former as he drove to the Industrial Area.At the ClinicAfter Tony sent the message to the Group General Manager, he sent messages to his parents, and relations, before he settled down, and chatted happily with the doctor. Meanwhile, the doctor had sent a message to his wife, and she could not contain her joy. Suddenly, the doctor's door opened, and his wife walked in. Likewise, she lit up the office with her compliment

At the Delivery RoomHowbeit, Susan was lying on the delivery bed, and was smiling happily. She could imagine how her husband, who had given up on being a father, would feel. “Hubby, it's a set of twins, boys,” Susan announced as soon as her husband walked in. Nevertheless, the excited Tony could not hold back at that point. He allowed the tears of joy that had gathered in his eyes to drop freely. Likewise, he walked to his wife and kissed her temple. Then, he appreciated, “Thank you for making me a father.” Likewise, Susan squeezed his hand, and responded, “Congratulations to us, my hero.”Subsequently, he walked to the babies' cots, and admired the cute babies, “Welcome my precious babies. I love you so much,” he assured, and held their tiny hands with his two hands at once. Presently, he was livelier, and had dried his tears. Then, he joyously took some shots of the babies with his phone.“Let's allow her to take a rest,” the doctor advised. Tony took another look at his wife, who

Likewise, Alice was excited, and summarized her task. She walked to the new house, and saw the work.“Wow!” She exclaimed, and ran back to the house. Uncle Emma was surprised to see her running back, and he inquired, “Why are you running back? Is the task too much for you?”“I wish to put on a pair of trousers,” she explained and ran into the house. She walked out shortly, after she had dressed in her jean trousers, and a pair of canvas. Then, Uncle Emma smiled with satisfaction when he realized that she was still humble and had not been influenced by the life on the campus.At the New BuildingWhile the work was going on, the youths, who were outside the gate, were disappointed. Although, Shane and Collins were not certain, but they believed that the person in charge was Oliver, but they could not defend it because everyone believed that he was dead. Now, Shane cast his mind on that night that they worked as security guards at the compound, and was ashamed of himself.“What is diffic
