They laughed scornfully at her, and Lorene raised her shoulders and warned before they took their leave.“Thank you so much, Mrs. Ugly duckling. As the upcoming first lady of the Bailey family, I won't have you to continue to use the family name. See you later.”“We shall see,” Nichole said ominously after they left. She laughed softly and murmured, “Two of a kind. Cotton headed ninny muggings. I wish I had a secret camera in my office.”She hissed and set out to resume her work for the day.Trip to the Airport.Denise and Phil arrived at the Bailey Native Home in the nick of time with Denise's car.“Good day father, good day mom,” Denise greeted the moment they got into the house and met their parents waiting.“Good day father, good day mom. Good to see you,” Phil greeted.“Good to you. You came in the nick of time. Let's go.”They picked their parent's luggage and walked towards the car. Then, Arthur halted them and informed, “We are using the armored car.”Phil flashed a quizzical
Subsequently, Jude walked back to the underground and disguised by ruffling his hair and making it look disheveled. Then, he removed the shirt that he wore to the court the previous day and put on untidy clothes. Afterward, he picked his phone, which was his only property apart from his clothes, put it in his pocket and began to navigate his way to the park through another route. Then, he met two angry visitors who were holding their backpacks on that route too. From all indications, they were more anxious than others, and they were chatting louder.“We are not going to leave unless we get our money.”The chanting increased as the number of people had multiplied before Jude appeared at the park. Now, his voice became the loudest.“Yes, we are not going to leave. We need our money.”One of the visitors holding a knapsack beside him agreed with him.“Yes. The resort owner is a rogue. The government had given them money to give to us, but he is out to cheat us,” another visitor with a ba
Now, the news of the explosive had spread among the two thousand uninvited guests. Nevertheless, both patronizers and the gamblers at the resort were not left out. The staff members who were hiding in the underground heard the warning too and ran out, scrambling to any escape routes. Now, the chanting increased and was heard in different directions.“Run for your lives. Explosive,” they shouted on top of their voices.Meanwhile, the Police Squad who were at the scene to maintain law and order retreated at once with their vehicles, when they heard 'explosive'. It was the same story with the media crew, who could not pan their cameras. They dismantled their tripod stands and headed for the hills. Due to the turbulence, there was a grid lock on the major road which made the movement of vehicles impossible because some motorists ran off their vehicles shambolically leaving their ignitions on. The pedestrians, who were more interested in fleeing the arena, were reckless about traffic rules
At The Tourist Center.After Phil announced that ‘we are home’, Denise, who expected him to get off the car, turned and looked at him and observed that his eyes were moist. He was moved to see a beggar tearing up and had the compassion to help.“What is the matter with you, young man?”Phil noticed the tears too and was willing to help, so he waited for his response. Likewise, Jude allowed the tears to drop before he spoke.“I am starving. I ate last yesterday morning,” After he made his problem known, there was a pin drop silence for a few seconds before Denise spoke, “Take us to the Tourist Center.” He ordered after turning to the driver.“All right, Young Master.”Even though Jude was depressed, he was attentive enough to hear the driver address him as the Young Master. He stole a glance at him and mulled over his discovery.'Are they not beggars? If not, who are they?'Soon, he found himself in a place he never imagined existed, in Dover. A place with an unpolluted air, and the am
At The Tourist CenterAfter Denise and his team drove off, Robin took Jude to one of the single rooms and informed, “This is your room for now. Make yourself comfortable.”“Thank you for this, sir.”“Do not mention. Do you want your dinner to be served here, or would you have it at the restaurant?”Jude, who was not exposed to such a dignified life, looked at him for a while before he made up his mind, “I will prefer here.”“It is all right. That is the menu list on the table. Let me have your order at once.”He looked at the menu and quickly placed his order, and volunteered, “I can pick it by myself if you permit me.”“Oh! Never mind. I will be back before you know it,” the Security Officer said and left with the order. For three years, Jude had not lived in a house nor slept on a bed. That night, he would not only sleep in a room and on a bed, but in a Five Star Tourist Center. The kind of cars that he saw at the car park revealed the caliber of guests that lodged at the center. “
They got off the vehicle, picked their backpacks and Denise handed the car key over to the security, who did as he was instructed and drove off immediately. They walked along with other comrades who were heading to the resort. As planned, over one thousand comrades came out to get their money and were chanting:“Give us our money.”“We need our money.”At that point, Denise and Phil mixed up with the angry indigents and raised their voices too.“The owner of this resort is a thief. He had stolen our money.”“He must provide our money. We will not leave until he provides the money.”Now, the Resort was in disarray, it was easy for them to move about and mounted their bombs in strategic areas and waited for detonation. After they mounted their last explosive which targeted the underground, they walked back to join other comrades and to warn them to vacate the environment based on their father’s instruction that there should be no loss of life. At that point, they ran into Jude Addy, who
At The Government Hospital.Mr. Bailey gave Phil a call to inform him that he was heading to the hospital.“All right, Denise, I am a few meters to the hospital. See you when you come.”“Okay.”Soon, they were at the hospital. The security man who Nichole spoke with concerning their coming walked up to them and greeted.“Good morning, Young Masters. How can I help you?”“Good morning, Officer. Mrs. Nichole Bailey sent us.”“Oh! I see. Your mother told me about your visit.”“Thank you, officer. Yes, she told us that she would talk to you. Are we free to go into her office?”“Sure, you can. Come with me.”He walked them to Nichole’s office and watched them open the door before he walked back to his duty post.“All right, I will leave you to search for the document.”“Thank you, officer.”They looked at each other and smiled when they heard the security man say ‘search for the document’. Since it was a small office, installing the two security cameras did not take time. When they were do
At Denise’s Apartment“Dad, Uncle, welcome back.”Daniel shouted when he saw his father and uncle walking in. He rushed to them and gave them hugs one after the other. When Denise disengaged him from the hug, he began to imagine the day his baby would do the same thing to him when he returned from work. Then, he looked at his pregnant wife and smiled in satisfaction.“Welcome back, hubby,” Olivia greeted.(Peck)“Thank you. I promised you that I would be back before noon. Here I am,” Denise said, and took his seat beside his wife.“Yes. You kept to your words. Thank you for that.”“It is my pleasure.”Freya welcomed her husband before she broached the news that Denise and her husband tried to keep away from her.“Denise.”“Yes, big sister.”“Did you watch the news yesterday? Did you see how karma had caught up with Uncle Stephen?”“Yes. I saw it. That will teach him how to respect other people’s freedom.”“You have said it all.”“I learned that the government gave him some money to gi
He looked at the barrister hopelessly and stated, "I will take any compensation that is commiserate with the crimes.""It is all right. I will write her at once and give her the option of an amicable settlement and compensation. If they insist on going to court, we will speak their language."It is okay by me, Barrister."Back to The ClinicLucian was aware of the answer and to avoid stressing him up, he advised him, "You need to freshen up. Your breakfast will soon be served.""I got it, Boss," he answered and got up at once.He walked to the bathroom. Before he got back, his breakfast was ready and he began to eat. Then, Lucian excused himself, "I will be on my way to the estate. I will come back after the morning drill.""It is all right, Boss," he responded with a dry smile. For the first time, Lucian saw the resemblance between him and Mr Meyer and smiled broadly at him."See you later," he said and banged the door.At Mr Meyer's OfficeLucian returned from the estate afterward
Likewise, Lucian returned with the doctor and met him coming out of the toilet."How are you, Wellington," the doctor asked him."Fine," he responded and sat down weakly on the bed while Lucian turned on the TV set. The doctor examined his eyes and showed satisfaction."You are fine. I will arrange for a hot tea for you. Okay?" he declared and walked out."Thank you, doctor," he appreciated it and watched the television.The doctor returned with a caregiver who served the hot tea. Afterward, he was relieved and the doctor left.Now, Lucian asked him, "Talk to me, Wellington. What happened?"He looked into his eyes, looked down at once, and remained silent. Now, Lucian recalled his reaction the day he mentioned tracing his family and was disturbed. He wished he could be free with him and open up. Meanwhile, being forceful was not an option at the moment."What do you think will make you happy?" He persuaded just to make him comfortable."Nothing. Just nothing," he answered between sob
Mr Meyer smiled softly and explained, "I gave him the beating that a father would give a child who is about to go off the track. He was almost lost before you brought him back.""You are right, Mr. Meyer. I recall that you didn't hand him over to the authority because of that.""You are right. Why did he faint then? I was not in the court when he fainted and I couldn't be responsible for that.""I agree with you, Mr. Meyer. I will interrogate him further on that.""Please do. If I may ask, was he standing for too long in the court before he fainted?""No. We only stood up when Lucas was throwing a tantrum in the court and suddenly, he fainted."At that point, Mr. Meyer was in deep thought.At The Gustavo Family HouseThey were preparing to write to the Agency and inform them of the assault on Aurora when they got Barr. Teasdale's email. They read through it and were relieved that he was interested in amicable settlement and compensation. Instantly, they put down all their plans and ca
Now, Wellington was sober and stared at the wall. Lucian was pleased with the results of their chat and continued."You can rest," he said and got up. He looked into his eyes and informed him, "There's no point forcing you to stay among the people you don't love. We will send you on your way when you recover."Now, Lucian had sat on the bed and pretended to be uninterested in his reactions. Suddenly he asked him, "Does the Supreme Commander like me?"At the Estate.The team assembled and was ready to leave for work. Incidentally, Mr. Meyer was in haste and wished to leave before the rest for an unknown reason. He was relieved when they finally moved and got to the complex."We are going to the clinic, Maxwell," he declared."All right, Mr. Meyer," he agreed with him and headed to the clinic while the President's driver drove after him.At the Clinic.They got out of the cars and Mr. Meyer walked to the ward while Mr Wilson and his wife walked to the doctor's office.Meanwhile, Lucia
She got out of the bathroom and meditated on the night he had with Lucas and was glad."At least, he is not bad in bed. Although, like the Super Tiger, he may do better if he is in a good mood," she reminded herself and lay on the bed. Instantly, she picked up her phone and went online. To her perturbation, she saw the picture of Kelvin and the post that he was getting married. Unknowingly, she was weeping for different reasons - Not marrying him and killing him. Secondly, for losing the first man she ever loved."Who is he getting married to? I wish she would kill him and avenge all that his family did to us. Bastard," she cursed. While she was meditating on that, the story of the buyer of the Legendary Diamond Ring came up and it attracted her attention. She dried her tears, looked at the beautiful ring, and exclaimed, "Wow! This is good to attend. Nine working days from now but no venue and time."Afterward, she began to watch the television and slept off. She woke up at midnigh
(That makes the two of us. I have been searching for a rich wife who would propose marriage to me with the Legendary Diamond Ring).The poster sent an emoji of an angry-red face with a black bar and white grawlixes covering its mouth, indicating that it was swearing or being vulgar and began to comment. (I am not available) Her post raised dust on the internet and afterward, the request for the venue and time of the wedding continued.Nevertheless, the wedding of the Legendary Diamond Ring buyer swallowed up Kelvin's wedding. Before they could recover from that, William came up with his counterpost.(The wedding of the buyer of the Legendary Diamond Ring comes up in ten working days from today. Ignore the misleading post.)As he expected, the post set the internet aflame.At The EstateAfter Mr Wilson instructed Dr Smith to run a test on Wellington, he rested in the parlor with his wife to watch the National News. He was glad with the news about the court case. Charlotte slept off o
Now, he faced Kelvin and asked him, "How far have you gone with your wedding plans?"."All is set. We have gotten the acknowledgment of our registration from the registry.""That is good to hear," his mother admitted. They discussed more about the marriage and the Elderly Center and retired for the night. Meanwhile, Kelvin strolled to the underground to see the Supreme Commander. He was not surprised when his orderly told him that he had gone to the complex. He smiled inwardly and answered him, "It is all right. I will see him later."He got back to the house and spoke at length with Ava before he went to sleep.On The Internet.The three pressmen left the hotel after the court case and published as much as they could. They focused their stories on the crowd at the gate which Hyde was not interested in. To their delight, it attracted many reactions. When they got the judgment, they gave it a professional touch by referring to acts that prohibited such actions. Above all, they made re
Nevertheless, he dressed up at once. Before he joined them, Kelvin and Ramon were inspecting their facilities to see how it would suit the proposed football academy. Without minding his mood, Ramon engaged him the moment he walked into the field."Mr Meyer, what is your opinion on this? I wish to set up a football academy and begin by organizing a tournament."He hardly finished his explanation when he pointed out, "Wow, that is good! You have a big field here. Starting the tournament won't be a problem.""You won," Kelvin shouted and Ramon laughed too. At that point, the President looked in their direction and he was happy. Mr. Meyer laughed softly. Despite his mood, he asked, "What's funny?"Ramon gave him the gist of his intentions and how Kelvin opposed using the field for his tournament. He was momentarily happy after listening to him."That is a good one. You have my support," he declared."Thank you, for that, Mr Meyer.""Thank you for your support," Kelvin appreciated him, too
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
