 In Aurora's Condo Unit.

Aurora Gustavo, the desperate and only daughter of Mr. Richie Gustavo, the Chairman of Richie Dynamic Conglomerates, and Kelvin Wilson's girlfriend. Kelvin was the future Chief Executive Officer of the Wilson Group of Companies. He paid her an unexpected visit to surprise her for their third anniversary, and he slowly opened her door. However, he stopped suddenly when he heard Aurora 

“It is true, Dad.  If I'm not mistaken, the company would be passed officially to him in the coming year.”

“Is that a fact?”

“Yes, Father.”

“Go on. I like to hear that.” 

“Okay. Then, I will ensure that our wedding will come next.”

“That's my girl,” her father praised, and she laughed triumphantly before she continued, “You are right, Dad. We will finally take over his company, and save our company before it goes bankrupt.”

Instantly, Kelvin's heart skipped a beat and bled. He was transfixed by what he heard and looked at the beautiful bouquet, and the jewelry set in his hand. Then, he took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes orbits. Likewise, he angrily pushed the door, barged into the condo unit, and stood in the middle with killing intent. At that point, she was dumbstruck with terror and guilt but concealed it. Subsequently, she ended the call, “Okay, Dad. My darling Kelvin is around, and I have to attend to him. I will talk to you later.”

“It is okay, my dear.”

Unaware that he heard her discussions, she faked a smile, and tried to cheer him up, “Oh! Kelvin dear. What a surprise. I'm excited to see you.”

Kelvin was still mute and gave her a worrisome look. She got up from the couch and walked up to him. Likewise, he attempted to hold him, “You look worried, my love. What made you come unannounced, my darling?”

Kelvin looked angrily into her eyes and shoved her hand away from him. Then he mocked, “My darling, indeed. I should have known that I had been using a short spoon to dine with the devil.”

She was uncertain whether he heard her chat with her Dad or not. So, she showed surprise, and stuttered in fright, “D-Dining with the d-devil? Where did you dine with the devil?”

When he did not respond, she asked again, “My love, did anyone offend you before now?”

Kelvin pouted at her pretext, and barked, “No one offended me except the gold digger, whom I trusted so much with my life and her Dad.”

In bewilderment, Aurora asked, “What are you talking about, Kelvin? And who is the gold digger?”

 Straight away, he grabbed her lower jaw with his right hand and pushed it up angrily.  Furthermore, he looked into her eyes, and shocked her with his discovery, “In case you don't know, I heard everything. The company will be handed over to me in the coming year. You will make sure that our wedding comes up immediately. Then, you and your close-to-the-grave Dad, will finally come in and probably kill me, and take over my company. Then, you will save your dead company before it goes bankrupt. Isn't it? Answer me. You double-faced gold digger.”

Right away, she realized that he heard everything, and stopped pretending, but attempted to defend herself, “It is not what you think, Kelvin. I was only joking with my Dad. No. I mean, I have acute malaria. Yes, acute brain ache. You did not hear anything. Did you? No. Oh! Gosh.”

Kelvin glared and watched her while she made a fool of herself. Thereafter, he ridiculed, “You are right. I suspected that you have a history of mental illness in your family. That madness made your Dad to mismanage your company, and now, you wished to steal mine.”

Then, he pushed her backward, and she sank into her couch.

“Oh! My God,” she cried out and held her aching jaw. Nevertheless, and gave him a puzzled look. Then, he warned, “It is over between us, Aurora. I declare my proposal to you, null and void, and don't ever call or come near me.”

She swiftly got up from the couch, and pleaded, “No, Kelvin. You have to hear me out. It has not come to that yet.”

He ignored her plea and looked at the gift and bouquet in his left hand, and found them useless. Likewise, he could not think of what to do with them but took a step to leave. Then, Aurora inched closer to him and tried to hold him, but he restrained her, and cursed, “Don't touch me with your filthy hands. You bloodsucker.”

“Kelvin, my love, kindly hear me out,” she pleaded, but Kelvin angrily walked out of her house, and headed towards his car. Without hesitation, she walked after him, and begged, “Kelvin, please. We can talk it over.”

“There is nothing to talk about. You can keep your marriage of interest to yourself. Wench.”

Then, he opened his car, got inside, and slammed the door in her face. He hissed and drove away, and his aid and security drove behind him.

 Aurora looked at the cars in despair and watched them disappear. Not only that, she managed to drag herself back to her house and slumped into the couch. 

“Ouch!” She shrieked and ran her hand through her head. Finally, she crossed her arms across her chest, and lamented, “What a costly mistake! Everything I have labored for for the past three years had just gone down the drain. All our plans have crashed so quickly.”

She remained in despondency and thought for a while. Then, she came up with an idea, and smiled, “We won't let you off the hook, Kelvin. You are our last resort to restore our dying company to its former state.”

After, her resolution, she picked up her phone and gave her Dad a call. He picked at once and greeted her enthusiastically, “Hello, Aurora,” but she was cold, “Hello, Dad,” she muttered.

“How is the fool? Has he gone?”

“Yes, Dad. He has gone.”

“That is good. You were saying something about your marriage plans. I'm listening.”

“It is no more what you think, Dad.”

“What do you mean?”

“He heard everything. Yes. I mean, everything we just discussed. I was not aware that he was at the door.”

“What! That was a costly mistake, Aurora,” he pointed out in pain, and Aurora felt his disappointment. Then, she pacified, “Hold on, Dad. Don't lose your mind yet. I don't want anything to upset your deteriorating health. Okay?”

At that point, her father was mute, and she cut the call.

At Kelvin's Apartment

He returned to his apartment, locked himself up, and cried out in anguish, “She lied to me. The scoundrel deceived me. Damn it.”  In anguish, he prostrated on the floor, and lamented, “I can't believe that I was in a wrong relationship for three years. Oh! My God. I was fooled. She had been using me all the years.”

Suddenly, he looked at the bouquet and the jewelry pack and picked them up angrily. Instantly, he dismembered the bouquet, and cursed, “You wastrel. You don't deserve this. You are an error. I curse the day I met a good-for-nothing like you.” Thereafter, he picked up the jewelry and began to cut and cursed, “I should have let you fail your assignment that day that you met me at the school. You are an emotional and corporate hood winker.”

After waiting for him to show up for dinner, and he did not, Charlotte, his mother faced Ramon, Kelvin's eighteen years little brother, and asked, “Why is Kelvin not here?” Mr. Ben Wilson, the Chairman of the Wilson Group of Companies, and Kelvin's dad, responded, “I wondered, too. Let us wait for a while. He will join us soon.”They chatted until 7:25 PM, and the couple was worried, and could not wait anymore. Then, his father called out to Gil Broughton, the Janitor, “Gil.”“Yes, Mr. Wilson,” he responded and appeared.“Get Kelvin. Let him know that we are waiting, and he should not keep us waiting for too long.” “I got it, Mr. Wilson,” Gil accepted, and took a step, but Ramon intercepted him, “Never mind, Mr. Broughton. I will get him.”Gil stopped suddenly and faced Mr. Wilson for his approval, and the couple looked

    Meanwhile, Kelvin left without responding to her apologies because he considered her a mannerless child. Aurora felt the same way about him too. She glared at him, and Mr. Napoleon noticed it and called her to the present.“Young lady, speak with me. What assistance do you want from me?”Aurora recalled herself, and spoke, “Thank you, Sir. I have searched for any book on war and conflict management, but I can't find any.”“War?” Mr. Napoleon asked in astonishment.“Yes Sir. My lecturer gave me an assignment.”“ I see. If you don't mind, may I hear the question?”“The question is – How can you Maintain Peace Between two Waring Nations?”“I see. The only book on war is off the shelf. You have to be patient for the student to return it.”“Oh! My goodness. I need to submit this assignment at 8 AM tomorrow.”“Wow! That is unfortunate. This is 7 PM and the Library will close at 8 PM.”“Only an hour left,” she murmured. Howbeit, It was obvious that she was distressed, and the Librarian was to

    Two Years Later – At Kelvin's officeNow, he was the Chief Executive Officer, just as Aurora predicted. That day, he was in his office with his frightened secretary, Miss Corine McDonald, who had suffered the brunt of his hatred for women since he fell out with Aurora. She was standing in front of him, and as usual, he was furious, and she explained, “I apologize, Mr. Wilson. I didn't mean to mess things up for …”Instantly, Kelvin interrupted her angrily, “Enough of your despicable excuses,” and she stuttered, “M-Mr….”Without giving her the chance to explain, Kelvin ordered, “Pack your things up and leave, my office, now, and don't ever come back here.”“Please, Mr. Wilson.”“I can't continue to deal with an idiot and a destroyer like you.”“Kindly hear me out, Mr. Wilson. It is not as bad as you think. I promise that it won't happen again.”Kelvin gave her a look of pure hate, and blurted out, “Did you say that it is not as bad as I think? Answer me. When did you begin to educate me

    Without looking up, he asked, “Do you mean my former secretary? I terminated her employment because she is a bunch of professional blunder.”“You must have judged her wrongly, and I doubt that sacking her was a good idea. I suggest that you take it easy on the staff members.”Kelvin stopped eating suddenly, and dropped his cutlery, too.“I am certain that that was the appropriate thing to do, Dad. If you do not rule them with an iron fist, they would not sit up.”“But your secretary was doing well.”“That was before, but she has become something else of late.”When he failed to see reason, Mr. Wilson picked up his cutlery and continued eating. Kelvin did the same too. Soon, they were through.“Thank you for the meal, Dad,” he appreciated.“You are welcome, son.”After some minutes of silence, Wilson called out, “Son.”“Yes, Dad.”“I have a nice proposal to make, and I know you will love it.”Kelvin let out a dry smile, and requested, “That is good. Can I hear it?”“I can see that you a

Then, his mother requested, “Ramon, why is Kelvin not here yet?”“I wish I can tell, Mom.”Now, Mr. Wilson took a necessary action at once, “Let me give him a call,” he said and began to swipe his phone, and his wife encouraged, “Kindly do, dear.”Charlotte and Ramon focused on him while he dialed Kelvin's number. They heard the phone ring and timed out. Then, he asked, “Where could he have kept his phone?” Mr. Wilson dialed the number again, and it timed out once more. Then, his wife asked, “Why is he not picking up his call?”“I'm tired out due to the training, but I can check on him,” Ramon promised, and attempted to get up, but his father stopped him.“Do not stress yourself, Ramon, I will give his Personal Assistant a call.

    “I won't let this emotional blackmail manipulate me into doing something I want to avoid doing. This is my body and the baby is precious to me,” Olivia McGregor resolved after she had cried her heart out, and dried her swollen eyes. She picked her few belongings from the wardrobe, and tucked them into her mini trolley bag. From all indication, spending the weekend with Louis Bailey, her first love, and fiancé, would not be feasible. She had hoped that the weekend would be a good time to break the news of her pregnancy, and expected that he would be euphoric, and shower her with love. To her chagrin, he rejected the pregnancy – their love child. “Abort it,” he thundered, and walked out of the bedroom. In her distress, the picture of a gentleman in a white suit, and smiling happily at her, flashed through her mind. She attributed to the outcome of her anguish, and ignored it, and concentrated on getting her stuff into her bag. Nevertheless, the figure appeared again, and was more real

    Afterward, Louis laughed softly and pulled her nose, and requested, “Tell me you are joking, my sweetheart.”To buttress her point, Olivia looked straight into his eyes, and declared, “Louis, I'm not joking. The doctor's report said I'm pregnant.”“What?” Louis screamed, and sat up from the bed like one under a spell. Then, he walked briskly to the wall, and faced it for a moment while she watched him in trepidation. Subsequently, he spoke up, “Olivia, how can you be so careless? Are you a kid? Do you mean that after graduating from the university, you cannot take care of yourself?” At that moment, Olivia got down from the bed too, and walked up to him. She placed her hand on his shoulder, and opined with a husky voice, “Honey, I thought you will receive the news with joy. You told me I’m the only woman in your life, and besides, you have proposed to marry me. Why all these?”Nevertheless, Louis took a deep breath, calmed down, and cupped her face with his two hands and admitted, “Y

    Three Years Ago.Olivia was eighteen years old when she met Louis, a twenty-one-year-old student who was in his final year in the university. Then, she just gained admission into the Grandcrest University, Sevenoaks, which was one of the prestigious universities in the city. At that time, Olivia was leaving home for the first to be away from her family because she was a day pupil all through her high school. Now, her parents had armed her with the counseling she needed to succeed in the university when they brought her to the campus.“Remember, Olivia, you are born to succeed. If you hold on to the teachings of your mother and me, you will be victorious,” her father reminded.“Olivia dear, in addition to your father's advice, I want you to know that as a beautiful young girl, you will get love advances from the opposite sex. It is not bad to have friends from the opposite sex, but placing your relationship with them above your future, your studies, is what makes it bad.”“Thank you fa

    Wednesday – At the Government Hospital, The Superior could not reach out to Evelyn after trying her number several times the previous day. Lorene, who would have furnished him with the information of her whereabouts, was still in danger. So, he had fewer hands as three of his staff members were off-duty. That day, he had to adjust his roaster to be able to have more hands. Then, Zoey had resumed for the day and was shuttling between her office and Nichole’s. The janitor, who believed that she was assisting Nichole, was of great assistance. “Thank you. What is your name?”Zoey asked the janitor, whom she had taken delight in after working with her for two days.“My name is Rachael Justin, Mrs. Bailey.”“What a nice name? You have been very helpful. Thank you.”“That is the least I can do to cover up for Mrs. Bailey.”“Oh! That is good. I will visit the emergency later to see Lorene.”Rachael, the twenty-year-old janitor, pushed her bottom lip forward in disdain and asked, “Do you rea

    He asked anxiously. Zoey, who was breathing heavily, could only summarize her complaint with a sentence.“She attacked me, I pushed her away to defend myself, and she slumped.”Dr. Caesar, who was about settling down for the day’s job, was as confused as a chameleon. He gave her a perplexed look while she stood in front of his desk waiting for his response. Then he managed to ask.“Who is ‘she’?”Then, it occurred to Zoey that the Superior was not aware of the incident before she gave a detailed explanation of the incident. Dr. Caesar gave her a cursory response as though nothing happened while he concentrated on his work.“Go back to your office and continue with your work.”When Nichole addressed Lorene and Evelyn as hawks and poachers, she had her reasons. They have attempted ceaselessly to poach the superior away from his wife, but failed. When he dismissed Zoey and concentrated on his work, he felt that Lorene deserved what she got. She returned to Nichole’s office and met a tidy

    The facinorous and pretentious Stephen paused and looked at the lawyer to read his countenance, but it was unreadable. Then he proceeded and feigned a sob.“Please, I am pleading, join me to plead with Arthur not to exact vengeance on me. You can see my dilemma. I know I have erred, but, let him spare me this time. I promise I will not be incautious again.”Now, some family heads believed him and had compassion on him, while some refused to take his apology that was not good enough for them, as they turned up their noses at him. Then, the family head of Oscar, who was not happy with how he abducted Zoey, felt it was time to strike, and spoke.“Stephen, you promised you will not be incautious again; incautious over what? Is it the kidnapping of our wives or attempting to sow seeds of discordance in our families?”Such an incisive speech dug up Stephen's iniquities, which the family heads were about to forget. They became infuriated and shouted on top of their voices.“We will not plead

    Now, Brown was at the barracks at 7 am because of the meeting. As the head of his family, he knew what to expect from the other family heads, but he was prepared for them.“Good morning to you, our Patriarch.”“Good morning, Brown. How are you?”“As you can see, I am good. What about you?”“I could not catch a sleep last night because of today’s meeting.”“It is expected. We cannot run away from our responsibilities.”“You are right. If those ahead of us had run away from theirs, who knows where we would have been by now.”“You are right.”Then, the scumbag, Stephen, walked in and greeted, “Good morning, our Patriarch. Good morning, my family head.”The two elders looked at him searchingly. They did not bother to respond to his greeting nor glimpse at him. The Patriarch ordered without looking at his face.“Wait in the hall.”“Thank you, our Patriarch,” The momentarily repentant Stephen said, and walked to the hall in the courtyard and took his seat.

    Denise paused and looked at her innocent face without responding, but she continued, “Are you still mad at me?”“Eat your food first.” Denise responded and kept feeding her. She took two more spoons and stopped and said in between sobs, “I am okay. Thank you.”Unfortunately, Denise lacked how to respond to the situation; he was angry with the woman that he must save her life.‘I have to concentrate on saving her life first. I can get angry later.’ He advised himself and smiled. He scooped the food and then urged her.“Sweetheart, I don’t think you are okay. Just take more spoons, and you will be okay.” Olivia saw it as an opportunity to strike a bargain with her husband, and she quickly asked, “Answer me. Are you still mad at me?”Denise smiled and asked her too, “Can I ever be mad at my beautiful Angel?”(Peck)She gave a dampened smile as she wiped the teardrops that tickled down her cheeks with the back of her hand.

His youthfulness radiated as he was constantly happy. The moist that usually gathered in his eyes whenever he wanted to speak was no longer there. He enjoyed making music with his piano than watching the television. When the Security Officer got to his room that afternoon for his lunch, he observed that he spoke freely with him; more like a relation than a stranger.“How is your day going, Jude?”He smiled and paused from the keyboard before responding.“My day is going on well, Sir.

    Mrs. Felix said when Lorene walked out of the Chairman’s office. To her surprise, she did not respond rather, she walked on like a disappointed child. The clerks noticed the same attitude. She got to the car park, got into the car and drove to the gate. She got off the car, picked her phone and drove away. The Security men were surprised to see a woman who was raging a few minutes ago walking solemnly to their office to pick her phone.‘What must have happened? Who is actually the Chairman of the Bailey International Conglomerates?’ She mulled over, and drove. Howbeit, she never considered putting a call across to Stephen, neither was she aware that she narrowly escaped the police arrest. Now, Denise had sent for the Security Officer who drove to the Admin Block after Lorene drove off.“You called me, boss.”“Yes.
