“I love you, my baby," he said, and released her. Olivia, who was craving, gave him another affectionate kiss before she said, “I love you the more.”However, Denise took good care of her, as her father was convinced. After dinner, Mr. Fields and his wife drove them back home.“Thank you for your visit. You made our weekend worthwhile,” Mrs. Fields appreciated.“Thank you for hosting us. We appreciate.”Mr. Bailey responded, and led his wife into their apartment. He was not afraid of beating up his uncle, Stephen, but he was afraid of a mysterious man who could be a mere figment of his imagination.At Stephen's Residence.He got back to his apartment after he left the Bailey's Native Home. Now, his shirt was already stained with blood, and he was embarrassed and afraid that his janitor may see him and suspect he had shoplifted and was beaten up. Then, he came up with an idea on what to do. After he parked his car at the car park, he honked and the janitor walked up to him and greeted,
Monday MorningArthur's fear was losing Nichole to another man. Although, he was a strong man, but the fear of losing the people he loved had been his weakness. He was in confidence of Nichole's love for him, but unless he possessed her legally, he would not be placid. He had to protect her until Thursday, when they would tie the nuptial knot, and he must devise a means of doing that.(Peck)“I am so glad that you are the first thing I will see every morning for the rest of my life. Good morning, my sunshine.”Nichole smiled as she opened her eyes gradually and responded.“Good morning, my Knight in shining armor.”She got up, sat down on the bed and yawned groggily while Arthur watched her with concern.“You look tired.”“Yes, hubby. I wish I can just rest at home today.”What a coincidence. He had been thinking of a way to make her stay at home until their wedding day. Now, he had gotten the opportunity effortlessly and must make judicious use of it. Then, her gave her another peck
“The moment she parks her car, I will walk up to her and engage her in a conversation. While talking to her, you will come close by and spray the substance.”“I got it, boss.”“Be careful, so you don't spray too much. She is my woman. We had a little misunderstanding, and she walked away.”“Oh! So sorry boss. You will get her back.”He had psyched his partner and he was willing to give his best. Then, Stephen checked his time, and it was 7:15 am.“She would be here any moment from now.”He pointed out. Then, they began to wait in his car. According to their plans, Nichole would be unconscious as a result of the substance. Afterward, they would move her to the passenger's seat, and he will drive her away while his partner will drive his car and come behind him.Meanwhile, at 8:00 am, behold Nichole, driving in with her car in her nurse uniform. Then, Stephen and his partner, swung into action.At The Bailey International Conglomerates.It was 10:20 am, Denise had reported to work as ea
“You are right. So, how is your wife?”Denise looked at his father and answered with excitement, “My wife is fine. Thank you, father.”“And the baby?”Denise, who looked bewildered at his father, merely smiled and the father understood.“It is all right. Please take care of them.”“I will. Thank you, father.”They discussed on the official matters from the production section that brought him and thereafter, he took his leave.“All right, father. By the way, how is mom? Her phone was switched off when I called earlier.”“Yes, her phone is switched off. She needed to rest.”“Does that means that she did not go to work?”“Yes. She is resting at home.”“All right. See you tomorrow.”“Goodbye.”At The Lonely Road.Arthur's desire to marry Nichole as quickly as possible prompted him to change his route that morning. After he bade Nichole farewell, he gave the security guards he attached to his apartment and his janitor the following instructions.“My wife is in the bedroom because she neede
Then, he walked to the backyard, and he was surprised to see a strange car. Now, he stared open-mouthed at the car, and when he found his bearing, he dialed his boss’ number. Nevertheless, he waited anxiously for his phone to ring, but to his consternation, his phone was switched off.“How and when did this car get to this place?” The janitor asked himself. However, the barrister and his squad were getting impatient, so they knocked on the door. The knock broke the janitor's reverie, and he walked briskly back to the door.“Where is your boss, young man?” The barrister asked the twenty-two years old lanky boy who was nervous due to the look on the barrister's face and the presence of the police men. He attempted answering his question, but found himself stammering, “I, I, wish I know. He walked in a few minutes ago and…”“I hope you are not hiding something from us?” The barrister asked further.“No, Sir. I am not hiding anything from you.”The barrister looked at the two police men w
“We are getting married tomorrow.”Nichole was astonished and asked, “Why? It was supposed to be on Thursday.”“Yes. We have been working on the wrong date. We would have missed tomorrow if I had not gone to the registry today to find out.”“It is good that you went. What time, please?”“The time is 9: am. We are keeping it as low keyed as possible.”“It is okay. I love you, hubby.”“I love you too, we will tie the knot tomorrow. I cannot wait to be your legal husband,” he hinted and dropped his necktie on the wardrobe. “I feel the same way too. So that I will be free from the negative rumor from friends and colleagues.”If only Nichole had known how scared he was about her friends, she would have kept her mouth shut. He asked, making sure that his tone did not betray him.“What questions do they ask?”Nichole gave him a warm-hearted response.“Arthur had refused to remarry because of your presence in his life. Why not remarry so that he can be free to remarry, too? So many silly qu
At the Bailey Native Home.Arthur and his wife spent most of their day in the bedroom. Nichole arranged the clothes she would put on the next day. Subsequently, she picked up a novel and began to read. Arthur was on the reading desk working, when he began to get calls from clients and partners, he moved to his study to avoid disturbing his wife who was reading her novel.“I will be at the study.”She nodded her head in the affirmative. Afterward, she slept off when she got tired of reading, while her husband joined her in the bedroom by 6:00 pm. He was able to settle most of the work that needed his attention, which he was unable to settle because of the appearance of people like Mr. Christopher Harry. At 7:00 pm, he woke his wife up for dinner.“Nichole, it is time for dinner.”Nichole opened her eyes slowly, she looked at the wall clock and discovered that it was 7:00 pm.“Wow!” She exclaimed. Then, she got off the bed and dressed up for dinner. At the dinner table, they discussed o
Tuesday Morning at DoverAfter sorting out Nichole's wears the previous night, they went to bed full of hope for the next day. They woke up in the morning at their usual waking time and prepared for their great day. After their breakfast, they walked out of the house to board their vehicle. To their surprise, Nichole's car was not at the parking lot. The, the bewildered Arthur turned to the security guard who was standing beside them and waiting for them to drive out, so he could lock the mini gate and asked, “Didn't Zoey return the vehicle yesterday?”“No boss.”“Why didn't you inform us?”“I am sorry, boss. I thought she informed you.”Now, Mr. Bailey looked at Nichole who was standing by the passenger's door before he walked to her, opened the door and remarked.“Maybe she drove to her house when she got off work.”“It is possible, but she should have kindly let me know.”Nichole pointed out before she got into the car. Mr. Bailey walked to the driver's side and got into the car to
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
