“Who owns it?” Austin inquired.“It belongs to Oliver,” Barry declared. Then, Oliver walked out of his room and saw the youngsters admiring his bike.“Your bike is fine, Oliver,” they commended.“Thank you for the compliment, David and Austin.” Thereafter, Austin and David left for their cousins' apartment.“I need to get some toiletries from the local market, Mr. Barry,” Oliver requested. Barry, who understood the meaning of the sudden outing, teased, “And to ostentatiously display your new bike.”The drivers around laughed heartily, and Oliver looked down shyly. He understood what Barry meant. Although, he needed the items, but flaunting his new bike was not out of it.“I will be back, before you know it,” he promised.“It is all right. Be cautious.”“I will.”At the Village Square.The four youths walked happily on the road while Peter nursed his lost. The joy of redeeming their reputation before Emma and his in-law could not be overemphasized. As for Peter, he was aware that he h

My teacher had told us the story of King David. Despite his heroic feats, he ran away when the need arose. I took the bold step and fled from home at the age of ten, and no one cared. I lived on the street and lived by its principles; if you can't beat them, you join them. I could not help but join them, beginning from petty stealing to pickpocket. Furthermore, I was tutored by my fellows on how to survive in the jungle. One thing I learned from them was the bonding, we protect one another. I was happy in their midst because I was protected from the likes of my fathers. Occasionally, we offer ourselves for menial jobs and were paid. As time went by, my close allies and I resolved to do menial jobs and quit stealing. The teachings from the church came to bear on us.“We can go back to school,” Fidel, one of us, suggested one day. We welcomed his idea and enrolled in the nearby public school. Then, I was twelve and had never been abused, and my self-esteem was building up gradually. F

Afterward, we visited my place and met my father's numerous wives. I also met my stepsisters with their children, and I could gaze the father of the children. Their mothers were among the wives, who were against my mother for speaking out and turned blind eyes when my father slept with them, and it paid off. At least, they were not killed like my mother and their sons were living. Now, Fidel and I were faced with a bridge too far to cross. I was informed that my father passed on some months back after a prolonged ill health.My mother's co wives, both those he married after I left home, were disgruntled when I introduced Fidel as my husband to be. It was obvious that out of the sixteen daughters in the family, I would be the first to marry properly. They scowled at him maliciously, before the first wife looked at me and snarled, “Where is it done that a father had not been buried, and a daughter is getting married?”Her statement left Fidel and I more confused. Meanwhile, their eyes h

Nne ended her story with a question, “Mrs. Owens, do you agree with me that your father deserves your forgiveness?”“I got it,” Sarah replied. “That's good. I will support your vision with the empowerment of two girls.”“Thank you, Nne for sharing your story with us, and I am thankful for your support,” Sarah appreciated.Now, there was no room for pretext anymore. Sarah was visibly emotional and there was nothing her husband, who was emotional too, could do. More calls kept coming in, but the program had ended. Barbara, who wished to be part of the funeral, took the responsibilities of serving as their contact person.“Thank you, Barbara,” Evans appreciated after the program. “It is my pleasure, Mr. Owens.” Barbara, who kept looking at him continually, and Evans understood her reason, accepted. She could not dissociate him with the man who was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission the previous year.“We expect eighty girls from you. We will get twenty from our loc

The IGP, and the EFCC boss, were not left out.“How many of us will be part of the funeral, Diana?” Silas inquired. The secretary smiled and elucidated, “Almost everyone wished to attend.”“I know, but the boss said he expected only twenty staff members, due to the capacity of the private jet.”“I have to randomly pick twenty staff members and damn the consequences, especially Susan, the former General Manager's wife. She had been itching to attend.”“Allow Susan to be part of the team,” Silas instructed. Apart from him, his orderly

“Thank you, wifey, for adding a color to the occasion,” Callum appreciated his wife when he saw the souvenirs. “You are welcome, hubby. Thank you for setting the ball rolling.”That day, the cows for the elders were ready. In all, they were set.In the CitySince the time the General Manager got the news about Bruno and his wife, he was disturbed, and was tempted to give Bruno a call to discuss it, but he reconsidered. At noon, they left for the airport with the staff bus. Surprisingly, Susan looked happy and more beautiful than when she was with her husband.“What is happening?” He murmured. They arrived at the airport after one hour and met Richard, Barry Frank and other drivers, who were on standby to pick the guests. “Welcome. I hope that your trip was not stressful.”“Not at all.”“Shall we?” Barry announced. They got into the vehicles and left for the hotel.“Mr. Silas, will it be appropriate if I visit the GMD's wife?

“Certainly. Firstly, the tailor would take your measurements and make your dress for the funeral.”“Wow! That is nice. I'm honored.”“You are welcome. Let's see the tailor.”“It is okay.” She took her to the tailor and he took her measurements.“Whose wear is this?” Sarah asked the tailor when she saw a set of clothes on the tailor's table.“They forgot to pick it along with the rest,” the tailor explained. Then, Sarah inspected the clothes and discovered that it was the General Manager's wears.“This is carelessness,” she pointed out. “Susan, I'm entrusting Tony's wears into your care. Ensure that you deliver it to him personally.”“You can bank on me. I will do that.”They walked back to the house and engaged in other things like the arrangements of the souvenirs while they waited for the tailor to make her clothes.“The tailor would be through in a few hours.”“All right, Mrs. Owens.”Indeed, she was helpful.

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
