I hope your trip was not stressful?”“Welcome, Uncle Emma. How was your trip?”Sarah, who was standing beside her husband, greeted before he could respond to Evans's question.“My trip was smooth, my in-law.”Then, he looked at Sarah, spoke.“My trip was fine, Sarah. What of your mother, Ugo. I guess she is here with you?”Now, Sarah cast her husband a knowing glance before she proceeded to the guest room to fetch her mothe

Now, the three looked at each, and mama's countenance changed. Mr. Emma noticed the gloominess on their faces and asked.“What is the matter? I hope he had not harmed any of the children with the charm?”At that instance, Evans sat up from his couch and narrated how he got a call from him that Monday Morning. At last, mama summarized how he died in the early hours of that day. After listening to their stories, he looked at Evans and inquired.“Did I hear you say you planned to send him to India for treatment?”Evans, who was not aware that he was being sarcastic, responded with enthusiasm“Yes, my in-law. As a matter of urgency, he would have been transferred the next day if not for the absence of the required documents.”Then, Uncle Emma shook his head in dejection and inquired rhetorically.“So, after wasting his life during his youth, he wanted to reap where he did not sow by manipulating his daughter and her husband?”'Is that all he would say?'Sarah, who hoped to hear her uncle

“Comfortable. She shouldn't have bothered herself. I was already comfortable. Thereafter, I rested my head to sleep, and Ugo tapped me and said we are in Enugu, it was like a magic.”“It was not a magic. All the same, shall we be going?”Afterwards, they boarded an Airport Taxi which took them to the village, and they settled down at Mr. Emma's house. Obidiya who did not go to the farm was surprised to see the team by that time of the morning.At Mr. Evans Owens's House.Now, he was stable and did not allow his problem to come between him and his family again“Welcome back, Evans.”Sarah greeted when she walked to the door to open the door for him.“Thank you, dear.

“Oh! Thank you, barrister. That would be some other time.”“It is all right. Have a pleasant day.”The couple walked out of his office happily and headed to their house. They met George and Lilian attempting to fix lunch, and the couple was happy about that.'It is a good thing that the domestic staff members were withdrawn; otherwise, my children would not know how to take care of themselves in our absence.'Mr. Evans mumbled to himself in contentment.“Welcome back, dad and mom.”George and Lilian greeted one after the other while they opened the gate.“Thank you. How are you?” “We are fine. Did you succeed in paying my school fees?”George asked his mom who was walking to the kitchen to inspect their food while her husband walked to the bedroom.“Yes, I succeeded. Congratulations once again.”“Thank you, mom, but when am I resuming?”“You are resuming on Sunday evening.”“Oh! Two days from today.”“Yes. You have only tomorrow, to finalize your parking.”“Oh!

Then, Callum took a critical look at the only old mud house that had disfigured the environment and said.“We would…”“Shhh!”Uncle Emma warned when he heard the footsteps walking towards them. Then, Callum followed his eyes' direction, and suddenly, the stalker greeted.“Mr. Aaron, I greet you.”Now, the look on Mr. Aaron's face became blank as he heard the Chief Priest's voice. He glared at him before he responded coldly.“I greet you, Chief Priest.”The Chief Priest waited for him to make a remark about their previous discussion, but when he was silent, he called his attention to the subject.“I have come to find out from you if you heard any news about your brother?”Now, Callum, who recognized him as the Chief Priest from his dressing, looked on. Then Mr. Aaron asked with displeasure.“Am I a news hawker who should be moving about with the Chief Priest's message? If you need any news about your client, come to my hut, or do you want to wait for him in his house until he returns?”

At the CityNow, after Evans and his family were through with their lunch, he appreciated the self acclaimed chefs for the meal. Although, it was not as pleasant as the food prepared by his wife or the chefs but, it was not a bad attempt.“Thank you, George and Lilian, for the sumptuous meal. You are the best.”The excited siblings smiled shyly and acknowledged.“Thank you, dad.”They were pleased with their father's compliment, but their joy would not be complete without their mother's opinion. So, they shifted their looks from their father to her with expectations. Meanwhile, she was carried away with the chat with her siblings over the phone that she was oblivious of their gazes.“I will be in my study.”Evans announced as he attempted to stand up from the dining chair. At that point, Sarah recollected herself and looked away from her phone. “All right, hubby.”She responded sharply and returned to her chat with her siblings. George and Lilian, who were disappointed when she got b

Ugo, who felt that it was absurd for her senior to be preparing breakfast in the kitchen while she stayed back in the bedroom, insisted.“Do not bother about my rest because I have had enough of it. I can keep you company.”“It is all right, if you insist.”Subsequently, they served Uncle Emma and Callum, who was already out of his room. While they were peacefully having their breakfast, the Igwe - traditional ruler, strolled in. He had a thing for Ugo since her husband sent her away, and she had vehemently refused to give his proposal a thought. It was not a secret in the community that the Igwe, a sixty-eight years old man, wanted to add her to his harem. When he heard through an intel that she was around, he set out to check on her.“I greet you, Emma.”He greeted with an impish smile. Now, Uncle Emma and Callum, who were startled by his voice, looked towards the gate to see the greeter. They halted their meal and watched him scanning the compound as he walked towards the hut. Then

The drive back home was quiet and unseemly long. To make the atmosphere lively, Evans spoke.“Cheer up, Lilian. We can always visit him.”“It is okay, dad.”Then, her mother reminded her of the obvious, too.“Some day, you will leave for the university too, like him. Are you aware of that?”Now, she cheered up and responded.“Yes, mom. I'm aware of that.”Subsequently, they got home, had their dinner before they retired for the night, oblivious of what the General Manager had planned against him.At the General Manager's Apartment.Mr. Angus was on a lengthy call with Mr. Nathan Jobs, the Head of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission and the Commissioner of Police. His topic was simple, how to arrest and prosecute Mr. Evans Owens for financial crimes and money laundering – the allegations he cooked up and leveled against him.“I don't wish to set my eyes on that man anymore. He should rot in jail.”“It is all right, Mr. Angus, but we have to follow the right process. Did you get

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
