“I can't ask for more,” She hinted. Then, Arthur released her and looked into her eyes romantically and assured her.“I am glad that you are mine now.”“I feel the same way. I love you so much, Arthur.”“I know. I'm sorry once again that I kept you waiting.”Before she could respond, his lips had covered hers, and he gave her an intense kiss in their standing position. He released her for a second for a breath and continued afterward. Now, Nichole held him with her two hands on his waist, and she was sexually aroused as well as Arthur. He kissed her neck, nose, temple and back to her mouth. He wanted Nichole to guide him to the next step to avoid appearing desperate. Just as he wanted, she slipped her hand into his Polo T-shirt and ran it on his chest before pulling his nipples. He moaned, and laid her on the bed and kissed her before he asked softly.“My dear, are you ready to give your body to me?”Nichole, who felt that she was in a dreamland, nodded in the positive before she resp
Afterward, the doctor advised him on all that he needed to do as he promised before he left.“I will send my secretary to deliver her prescriptions, which will take care of the nauseating and fatigue.”“All right doctor. We will be waiting. I am grateful.”“It is my pleasure. I will be on my way,” Dr. Harper announced, and stood up. Denise stood up too and walked him to the door.“Goodbye for now, doctor.”“It is all right. Kindly take care of her.”“I promise, Dr. Harper.”Now, Denise walked back to his couch and sat down. He mulled over the test result and the discussions he had with the doctor.“This sounds strange. I thought she would need some months to recover from the miscarriage. She must be happy with the result,” he mumbled to himself, and he decided to research his role as the husband. At last, he was happy with his discoveries. Armed with the knowledge he just gathered, he quietly joined his wife, who was sleeping peacefully in the bedroom. Before lunch, the doctor's secre
At The Hotel Suite in SevenoaksArthur woke up and arranged for lunch while Nichole was still sleeping. He looked at the time, and it was 1 PM. However, he perceived that she must be hungry, but would not want to disturb her sleep. He sat down on the couch and gave Louis a call. Nevertheless, he picked his call as soon as it connected, “Hello, father. Happy weekend.”“Hello, son. Happy weekend to you too. How are you?”“I'm fine, father. And you?”“I'm fine. I wish to thank you for your efforts last night. You made things to work out faster between us than I can imagine.”“Don't mention, father. I learned a lot from you yesterday.”“Really? What did you learn?”“I learned humility. Taking responsibility for your mistakes. You confided in me and admitted that you were too careless.”Now, Arthur chuckled and lectured, “That is a way of life, especially for your family members. You should learn to trust your family members. Did you get me?”“Yes father. I will always remember that. How
Nichole exclaimed when she walked into the dark parlor and saw the candle decked dining table. She looked at Arthur, who gave her a peck on her temple and walked her to the table majestically before he declared, “You chose Sevenoaks as our first meeting place, right?”“Yes dear.”“I chose to make Sevenoaks a memorable place in our relationship.”Presently, Nichole was fighting back the tears that had formed in her eyes. Then, Arthur brought out the secret plate that was hiding the betrothal ring. He picked it, and bent on one knee, and professed. Meanwhile, the secret camera man positioned his phone from his hide-out.“Nichole, I can't imagine growing old without you by my side. I have no doubt that you will love me to the end. Please, be my wife.”Then, the overawed Nichole, accepted at once, “I will be your wife and be by your side to the end, Arthur.”Now, he slipped the ring into the middle finger on her left hand, and she helped him to get up before she gave him an intense kiss.
“What? How could he do that? Can he withstand those indigents?”“I just feel you should be aware.”“You are right. I will beef up security around him and his wife. I am coming right away.”“That is better.”Meanwhile, the Chief Security, who was a retired Army Officer, assembled his men to stand around Denise and Olivia, and they did as the Chief Security directed. Soon, the seats were filled up and only the two rows in the front of the last row were remaining. Meanwhile, the ticket agent had stopped selling for the day. Now, the indigent residents, who were unable to get the ticket, went berserk at the box office.“Why would we not get tickets while there are two empty rows left?”“We are done with the sale of the tickets for today. Please bear with us and leave,” the agent pleaded Presently, the indigent residents, who always felt deprived, began to throw tantrums, but there were many Security Guards who were not in uniform around. They overpowered them and forced them to leave. Th
“Yes. Dreams often occur,” She educated. Now, Olivia got off the bed, walked to the fridge, and got a bottle of water for him.“Take, you will be fine,” she advised, and handed the bottle of water to him, which he collected and still looked at her in astonishment. However, he was considering whether he was still dreaming and drank the water before handing the bottle back to her. She dropped the bottle on the center table and concentrated on him. Then, she pulled him closer and consoled, “Hubby, don't be shocked. It was a mere dream.”Denise nodded in agreement before he got off the bed to answer the call of nature.“Excuse me, my Angel.”“All right, hubby.”He walked to the restroom, eased himself and observed himself in the mirror, and muttered, "What kind of dream is this? And why my wife?”Subsequently, he put himself together and walked back to join his wife on the bed. Then, he cupped her face with his two hands and kissed her before he laid back on the bed and apologized, “I apo
“That reminds me, why did you not respond to my message that day?”“I was cross with you," Nichole responded, while Arthur laughed and admitted, “I know. You were too lenient to have joined me home after the marriage.”“Good. Now that you have mentioned it, I would like to know. Why were you silent all through the drive home?”“I did not have an idea of what to tell you, and I was afraid that I may say something that would anger you. I just wanted you by my side.”They laughed ecstatically, and Nichole hinted, “Your silent was like a dagger; stabbing me all through the trip.” He pulled her nose and inquired, “I apologize. I hope I have made it up to you?”“Certainly. I love you, Arthur.”“I love you too.”In all, they had a blissful weekend and on Monday morning, they returned to Dover and began their marriage processes.At the IslandAfter Mr. Denise's dream on that faithful day, he was very cautious. After he ordered the Chief of Security to beef up the security at the Center and c
“How are you, Caleb?” “I am fine, boss. Welcome back once again, Mrs. Bailey.”“Thank you, Caleb. What are we having for lunch?”Olivia asked as they sat on the mini dining table in the kitchen. “Protein-based food and herbal soup. It is good for your health presently.”Nevertheless, Denise looked at his wife, who was as speechless as he was. Then, he asked the thirty-five years janitor, “What do you mean by 'your health presently' Caleb?”Now, Caleb was taken aback when he realized that his mouth had been faster than his brain. Ideally, whatever information he had or any observation that he had made, he should have kept it to himself and waited for his boss to inform him officially that his wife was pregnant. At that point, he had no response than to mop in regret, while Denise and Olivia fixed their gazes on him and waited for his response. Suddenly, Denise's phone rang.“Continue with what you are doing,” he informed the janitor before he picked his call. Then, he held Olivia by
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
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
