Now, the aggrieved elders interrupted him.”We will not accept that cock-and-bull story.”“Please sit down, if you don’t have anything to say.”“You can give him your wife and daughters to abduct.”Some other family members said as they raised their voices. When Brown heard someone say ‘you can give him your wife and daughters to abduct’, he became ashamed of himself and quickly sat down, and the Patriarch took over.“Thank you all for your patience. I thought his Family Head would have started by apologizing to Oscar and his wife.”“Yes,” the house chorused in unison."That explains why Stephen did not have a proper upbringing. If a Family Head cannot think of an apology unless he is reminded, what do you expect from his family members?”Now, Brown, who was infuriated, walked to the last speaker and pointed at his nose.“I will not have you insult me or any members of my family. Watch your tongue.”Now, the Family Head that he touched his nose rose swiftly from his seat and pushed hi

“The woman I have in mind is a woman in our mist who had made this family proud. I am convinced that with someone like her by Stephen’s side, he will be stable…”Now, one of them interrupted him and requested, “With due respect, our Patriarch, can you stop dilly-dallying and tell us the female psychiatrist in our mist who is capable of marrying a mad man like Stephen?”His question erupted raucous laughter in the house. Denise, who had not said a word since the meeting, began to laugh too. Mr. Oscar and his wife laughed heartily before Gen. Bailey chuckled and continued.“All right. Moving forward, the woman I have in mind is Nichole, the widow of our late brother, Williams. She is a…”Now, all eyes were on Denise. Gen. Bailey, who knew that he had broached a delicate issue, avoided looking at Denise’s direction. But whether he looked at him or not did not matter because Denise must make him to look at him compulsorily as he interrupted him. Then, he lifted his right hand and without

“When did Nichole get married?”The other Family Heads attacked him at once and demanded, “Why did you not ask her son before he left?”Now, Zoey could not help but laugh. To defend himself and maintain his dignity, he explained, “I was about asking him, but before I looked up, he had gone.”“Coward. You knew nothing but to insult and push a fellow Family Head.”Brown blurted out, and the Family Head rushed at him, but he was restrained by other Family Heads. Then, the Patriarch ordered.“Go home, all of you. The meeting is over.”They began to file out one after the other, still barking and yelling at each other. Then, Oscar shouted, “Zoey, get into the vehicle and let us leave here.”Zoey glared at him and got into the car. She did not relent in rubbing it in his face.“Can you really shout at me, Oscar? You could not raise your voice when it was necessary.”Oscar, who was used to such berating, kept mute, he turned on the ignition of his car and drove off, ignoring her.At the Tou

After their breakfast, they prepared for work, and got off the house. Then, Lorene stopped him off, and drove off to the hospital. (Peck)“See you later, love.” Stephen said, and got off her car.“Bye. Love.”It was quite unfortunate. Stephen had devoted his love to Lorene, who possessed all the attributes he needed in a wife, but she was in love with Arthur and not Stephen Bailey. He mumbled before he boarded a chartered taxi, “This is good. With a wife like Lorene and her friend Evelyn, I will have a blissful marriage.”Then, he boarded the taxi and seated comfortably in the back seat. While he was approaching his house, he turned on his phone to transfer the payment for the ride, but an epiphany occurred when he saw the different breaking news popping up on his phone. He punched on one of the news and saw his resort as a heap of rubble. Then, he looked at it critically to confirm that his eyes were not misleading him. When he confirmed that it was his resort, he rested on the head

At the BarracksThe daily drilling of the young soldiers which Gen. Bailey looked forward to every morning took place at 6 am and lasted for one hour. As a matter of routine, he was in his studies reading through the dailies after his breakfast when he got the mail from Barrister Guidance. He quickly read through and was timorous. “Has Stephen gone nuts? How many women does he want to have at the same time?” The nonagenarian Patriarch asked while cold sweat formed on his forehead. He went through the mail again and discovered another serious point.“Accusing Arthur of using Nichole as a nanny is an insult that her children would not take. No wonder Denise was distraught during the meeting.”Then, he got a call at that point, and he looked at his phone, and, he discovered that the caller was Brown, Stephen's family head. He took a second look at the caller and vacillated between picking the call and ignoring it. Then a message came in.(Good morning, our Patriarch. If you are not too

Under the present circumstances, Stephen’s head could not process the information he got at the same time. From the stranger’s speech, he grasped that he was aware of the issue at hand. Then, he looked at the two elders and inquired.“Oscar’s wife?”Stephen, whose purpose of visiting his Patriarch was to find a solution to the river of problems which was drowning him, had just discovered another problem.“I don’t have anything to do with Oscar’s wife. I ….”His explanation, which the Patriarch and the Family Head thought were lies, aggravated his already bad case. The Patriarch, who did not deem it necessary to offer him a seat yet, rose from his couch with his military demeanor and the might of the Patriarch of the Bailey’s family and thundered. “I will not hesitate to throw you out of the barracks after the soldiers have court marshalled you if you think you can dance on our intelligence.”Now, Stephen was aware that he had screwed up and making excuses would cause him more troubles

At the Gate.That day, Lorene and Evelyn worked with enthusiasm and eagerly waited for lunch. They were too busy that their paths never crossed after they spoke in the morning. Now, Zoey had resumed and is standing in for Nichole. With the assistance of the janitor, the work at Nichole’s office was not tedious for her. At noon, Lorene left for her surprise appointment with the man that would make her the first lady of the Bailey’s family, without informing her friend.‘He would be surprise to see me,’ she fantasied, and parked at the gate and honked with the confidence that she was not going to be turned back anymore. Then, the Security Officer who had seen many of her types since the previous week walked up to her by himself.“Good day, ma’am. How may I help you?”She smiled at the new face she was seeing, who looked more matured than the security guard who embarrassed her the previous week. “I wish to see the Chairman,” she hinted confidently. Now, the Security Officer observed h

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

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 may not be able to resolve other issues in his life, but Cassandra would not add to his problem. Then, he called the Personnel Manager at once. He picked and greeted.“Good day, boss. How may I help you?”“Good day. Transfer Eric to my office and send Cassandra to take over from Eric with immediate effect.”“It is noted, boss.”(Cut)At Stephen’s ApartmentAfter the meeting with the Patriarch and the family heads, he boarded a taxi to Lorene’s house, which was at the Barrack’s Road. To his chagrin, she was not at home. He looked at the time, it was 1:30 pm.“Where could she be? 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. Then, he sent a message to the barrister requesting that he would make the check for the compensation available.“You are free. I will be in my office by 3 pm.”“All right. See you.”At 2:30 pm, he boarded a taxi to

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
