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

“How did it go at the office today?”He asked before they sat down on the couch. Then, Lorene gave a superficial answer.“Nothing much. We will continue on Monday.”She gave him a keen look which he mistook for a suspicious look and that made him to fidget because a sinner will always run even if no one is chasing him. Then she requested, “Tell me, how did you spend your day without me?” Now, Stephen tried to change the tensed atmosphere to a lively one and joked. He gave her the same response she gave to him a while ago“Nothing much. We will continue on Monday.”Although, it was a joke, but he was honest because he had agreed with Evelyn to meet on Monday for lunch. Lorene laughed softly, and he laughed too before she said.“Wow! That is funny.”They laughed happily. And to distract her further, he volunteered to serve her some breakfast.“Let me serve your breakfast.”“Oh! I don’t mind. Thank you. Let me change,” She said, and got up from the chair and began to walk to the room wh

She calmed down, and lifted her face and announced, “I just remembered how Louis wept the other day.”“I thought as much. It is all right. He is fine now. Let us send a message to our family platform. I am sure it will soothe all of them to hear that we arrived safely,” Arthur said, and ran his hand through her hair. Then, she cheered up and said, “Ok. You can go ahead.”They sat together on the bed, and he drafted the message and sent. He looked at her and declared, “Maternal Instinct can be powerful.”Nichole only smiled. Then, he drew her closer and gave her a peck. Indeed, maternal instinct could be powerful. Their message got to Louis when he was about to take a decision that would affect everybody adversely. The feeling Nichole got when she got into the room was the type a mother got when her child was in danger.At The Tourist Center.Jude was beginning to feel guilty of eating and doing nothing. He wished to be of assistance to his host by any means to justify the kind gestur

At The Tourist CenterBy the arrangement between the Security Officer and the Men's Wears Company, the clothes would be delivered to the island by 7 AM, and they kept to the time. At the stipulated time, the company vehicle was at the Tourist Center and Robin took the delivery of the wears. When it was time to serve Jude’s breakfast, which was the same as the complimentary breakfast that the guests took. Thereafter, he accompanied the waiter, to his room. After the waiter left, he handed the bag of clothes to Jude, who was about to start eating his food.“Jude.”The panicked Jude who had lived in fear for the past four years looked up, thinking he had wronged anyone. Then, the Security Officer continued.“The boss sent this bag to you. He requested to know what you can do. That is, he wants to know if you have any skills.”Now, Jude’s eyes became moist. From the look of things, the only skill he had was to aid in criminal activities. Thanks to the adults who were supposed to be respon

“I mean, as a Security Officer, how can you assess him?”“I can attest that he has a good spirit.”“It is all right. You can order for a piano keyboard for him so that he won’t be bored. Did you get it?”The security officer responded cheerfully, “Wow! That will be nice. He will be delighted. I will do that right away.”“It is okay.”After the call with the officer, he headed for the barracks. ‘Even the officer was happy because of him. He must be an impressive person. Meeting impressive people at odd places.’ he reasoned as he drove off. He ruminated about how he met his wife and his face beamed with delight, and he prayed.“God bless the man who rejected her. Otherwise, I would not have met her.”Meanwhile, he was already inside the barracks and headed towards Gen. Bailey's apartment.At the Military BarracksDenise got to Gen. Bailey’s apartment at 12:50 pm. He searched out for a suitable spot to park his jalopy, which gave him much delight. Initially, he was uncomfortable, but hi

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

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
