At the Dinner Table – 7:12 PM.

Ramon was back from his training and was with his parents at the dining table. 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.

Ramon agreed and sat back, and watched him make the call. Now, Mr. Wilson dialed Andy's number and waited. It rang and timed out too, and the three

    “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

    Likewise, it enabled her head to be raised by a nurse, who was checking the progress of her drip. When the nurse saw him standing by the door, she said, “Kindly come in. Did you get the fruits?”“Yes nurse.”“It is all right. You can serve her,” the nurse said, and excused herself. Now, Olivia looked searchingly at the young man, who was holding a pack before her. She was certain that she had not met him before, except three hours ago. “Hello, can I sit down?” He asked, and moved his eyes from Olivia to the visitor's seat beside the bed.“Oh! Kindly do. I greatly appreciate your help.”“You are welcome,” he said, and sat down. Then, he handed over the fruit pack and skewer stick to her after peeling off the cling film. She collected it and glanced at him, then, back to the fruit, before she muttered, “Thank you.”“It is my pleasure. The nurse said you need it. Eat.”Furthermore, she began to eat the chunks of watermelon. Louis, who had noticed that she was not comfortable with his pre

    Olivia woke up in the morning dejected and depressed as a result of excessive crying and the absence of quality sleep. The last meal she had was the popcorn she took at the cinema, hoping to have dinner with Louis when they got home. So, she decided to leave the house very early despite the cold to give her ample time to search for her school mother and also avoid questions from her siblings and domestic staff. For that, she had no breakfast.“Tracing the Bailey's home may not be difficult,” she said to herself.At Dover Mr. Denise Bailey, a twenty-four years old man was on a walkout exercise with his mentor and godfather, Mr. Nicholas Fields who was forty forty-two years old. He would always appreciate his parents for choosing him to sponsor him at baptism. The walkout was their custom every weekend, and they had religiously kept to it. Denise believed so much in him and always looked up to him for counseling on crucial matters that bother him. “Godfather, why is my case different

    To Louis, the waiting period seemed like an eternity. Soon the call came again through the security landline and the officer picked.“She is not around,” the janitor pointed out. “Thank you.”Now, the security officer looked at the young man before him, whom he was sure must have heard what the janitor said, and informed dismissively, “Young Master, she is not around. Have a pleasant day.”At that moment, Mr. Louis's condition became worse than when he came. He thanked the officer and walked back to his car. Now, he was sweating profusely under the cold, and had no clues of where she could be. Likewise, he could not explain how he drove back to his house. Then, he lamented, “What came over me? The woman that I had waited for three years to be out of school before I went to bed with her. The girl I loved with my life is missing with my pregnancy.”At Dover.Denise arrived at his company clinic in trepidation. He ran in and came out with two nurses pushing a wheeled stretcher. They wh

    “Was she kidnapped on her way home?” He pondered, and many thoughts found their ways to his mind as a result of that thought.“Where was she kept?”“How many of them?”“What would they be doing with her since last night?”He tried her number again, but it was not connecting. Now, Louis began to cry profusely. His domestic staff members noticed that something was wrong, but they could not pin it anywhere. “What could be bothering the boss?”“I wish I had an idea meanwhile, I feel we should find out.”“I feel like that too, but he had locked his door.”“Let us find out. He may need someone to talk to.”They walked to the door of his bedroom and knocked several times, but there was no response. They looked at each other and decided to give him a call. Furthermore, they dialed his number and the phone rang numerous times before it cut. When they had exhausted every means of getting his attention, they set out to pull down the door, which was their last resort.“We cannot watch him go thr

    Nevertheless, Denise, who was off work, drove into the compound. He expressed worry the moment he sighted Freya's car. He packed and got off, looked at the security hoping to get any clue as to what awaited him in the house, but could not get any. “Welcome back boss.”“Thank you, John. I hope there is no problem?”“No problem, boss.”Denise looked at Freya's car again and walked into the house and saw Freya coming out of the Kitchen. She looked sternly at Denise, who greeted her joyously.“Good morning, big Sister. Good to see you.” Freya ignored him, and he mistook it for annoyance because of what brought her. Then, he continued, “How is Daniel? I expected you yesterday, but…”Freya interrupted him and inquired, “What is the meaning of this, Denise?”Denise, who was astounded, asked, “What are you talking about, big sister?” “I am disappointed. How can you be so secretive, to the point that you would not allow any member of your family to know what you are doing? What if she had

    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

I know that she is on AM Shift.”Now, he rested his head on her door for a few seconds before he gave her a call again, but as usual, she did not pick. With a heavy heart, he left for his house.

    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. He watched the family heads trickl

    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. Denise, who was emotional at that point, dropped the plate and th

    “I hope she is not angry with me for taking long in contacting her?”Now, he gave her a call for the second time. The phone rang several times, but she refused to pick.“She must have gone to sleep,” he concluded, and slept off too.At the Tourist Center.The Security Officer was happy with the changes he saw in Jude’s composure. 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. And you?”“Fine. Your lunch is here.”“Okay, thank you, Sir. How about the boss?”“The boss is good. He sent his love.”“Oh! I wish I will meet him soon.”“Yea! You will meet him

    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. Why did you call the cop on that woman?”“I did not call the cop, they just came.”“How? What do you mean by they just came?" Denise asked, and furrowed his brow. Incidental
