MOTHERLY DUTIESBarbara and the old alpha got to the hospital to get their new born daughter, Sophia or rather Sophie. Barbara drove, she didn’t want any tongue wagging as Mr. Rudolph was quite a talkative. They got to the reception and were attended to by the receptionist who directed them on what to do. “Doctor Allen is not around, he stepped out to take care of something. Please kindly wait for him” she pointed towards a very nice settee designed for personalities like them. Maya supported the old alpha to the couch and helped him sit down while she sat close to him, Clara also sat close to them.Doctor Allen came into the hospital about 30 minutes later. “Hello Alpha John and Mrs. Gillian, welcome. I’m so sorry to keep you waiting, the receptionist called me and I just had to leave whatever I am doing to rush here” he said. “Its okay, can we see our baby now?” Maya asked, so eager to see her baby. “Sure, lets go” he said. Maya Gillian helped the old alpha up and they followed th
BACK FROM THE HOSPITALThey got inside the car and headed home, Maya sat at the back seat with the old alpha and Clara drove this time since Maya Gillian was carrying the baby who was busy sucking her mouth, she was definitely hungry. “I will be stopping at the mall to get some baby stuff” Maya informed Clara. “Okay mum” Clara said and continued driving. They got to the mall and Clara halted the car. “We are here mum” she said. Maya raised up her head and looked, it was a Mall but not the one she wanted to shop in. “No….not this one,” she said. “Still go further” Maya Gillian uttered. “okay mum” Clara said and started the car again, then she continued driving. “That’s it, stop” Maya said as Clara slowed down and then stopped the car. “This is the mall” she pointed towards a tall building which had “baby and me” written on it. It was a Mall that dealt with baby stuff and the likes, formula for new born, food for toddlers, supplements for babies or children, baby care products, diape
THE SURGERYThe day for the surgery had finally come. Sun rays spread through the room through the well hanged curtains in the old alpha's room, he stretched himself on the bed and lay down for a while. The Adolf alpha squeezed his eyes tightly and then opened them slightly, he realised that Maya was not on the bed. He managed to sit down and mumbled something, he still felt like sleeping. John Gillian yawned again, feeling much awake. “I am sure Maya is with Sophie, she no longer has time for me” he said. He reached out for his stick close to his bed, he then leaned on it and helped himself up. “This will be the last time I will use this stick” he said to himself. John Gillian put on his footwear and headed straight to the bathroom to brush his teeth and have a bath, his surgery was slated for 7:00 am and he had to be in the hospital before that time, so he had to be fast.The old alpha had just started cleaning his teeth when he heard Sophie's voice, she was crying. “What could be
THE SURGERY CONTINUESThe old man and his family got to the hospital, it was a good thing that he was about to get a leg surgery, at least he would be able to move around without support. Clara and Sophie stayed in the car while Maya followed her husband inside the hospital and then to the orthopedic surgeon's office. The old alpha's wife already directed Clara on what to do so she was not scared of anything. Maya Gillian knocked on the door and there was no response, she waited for a while and knocked again. “I said, come in” they heard a male voice say. He probably answered the first time and they did not hear. Maya Gillian pulled the door knob gently and it opened. They saw Doctor Gerald working on something on his laptop. “Hello sir and ma'am, please have a seat” he smiled and directed them. “Thank you doctor” Maya Gillian said smiling as well as the old man.“I remember, your surgery is today and that’s what I am trying to work on. Please give me a few minutes” he said calmly. “
HE IS AWAKEMaya Gillian was excited that the surgery was successful, she rushed to the car to share the good news with Clara who was taking care of baby Sophie. Clara was surprised to see her so fast but this time she was smiling. “Mum, you seem excited. Is everything okay?” Clara said as she cleaned Sophie up, she wanted to change her diapers. “The surgery was successful and your father will be discharged in a few days, I think it’s worth celebrating” Maya Gillian said. “Oh my world, that’s great news” Clara scream out of excitement. “It is surely worth celebrating mum” she added. “Yeah, so we are going home now so I can prepare thee Adolf's favourite dish so that he will have something to eat when he wakes up” the old man's wife said and Clara nodded in agreement. “Mom, should I drive or….?” “Yeah, you drive while I take care of Sophie” Maya interrupted. “Okay mum” Clara gave Sophie to her mom who was seating at the back seat with her. The young Miss. Clara then came down from th
FEELING BETTERMaya and Clara got to room 005 in the male ward after looking for it for some time. “Hold on, I just want to be sure before we barge into someone else” Maya said to Clara, she peeped through the transparent half glass door and saw her husband. The old man was sleeping beautifully and his knee had a bandage on it, she smiled on seeing him but wondered why the bandage was on his knees. “Maybe that is why the doctor said the case is complicated, maybe they did a knee surgery” she thought but waved it off, after all her husband is fine. “He is right there but sleeping, let’s just go inside gently” Maya said as she turned to look at Clara. “Okay mum, I cannot wait to see dad” Clara said excited. “Come on” Maya uttered as she pulled the door knob gently opening the door. She walked inside the room and Clara followed, Sophie was sleeping so she was not a problem. Maya sat on the little chair close to John Gillian's bed, she looked at him and realised how beautiful the old
ATTEMPTED MURDERMaya and her family got home after a long drive, it was evening already and she had to take care of some things but she was grateful that Clara could be of help. She hurriedly helped the old man to the room while Clara still held on to Sophie who was sleeping now. She helped the old man up from the chair and wrapped his arm around her shoulder and he let out a cry. “Oh sorry” she sad as she helped him to the bedroom, he supported himself with his other leg. “Thank you honey, thank you for standing by me” the old alpha whispered into Maya Gillian's ears as they got to the room and she managed a smile. Maya inserted the keys into the key hole and twisted it and it opened, she then pushed it gently with one hand while the other held on to John Gillian's waist. “Gently” the old alpha's wife said as she helped him to the bed and helped him lye down. “I will be back shortly, let me quickly take care of Sophie” she said and the old man nodded. “Thank you baby” he said aga
GOING OUT“Mum” Barbara screamed from her room, Arianna was crying so much and she didn’t know what to do. She has tried everything she knows but the little baby refused to keep quiet, she also handed her over to Louise since she was a mother too but the little baby would not keep quiet so Barbara decided to get her mum's help. “Mum” she screamed again walking across the sitting room and down to the garden outside the house, Mrs. Natalie loved staying in the garden to feel the fresh air and watch the water falls. She would put on her headset and listen to music as she watched the waters and sometimes, she would fall asleep while doing that.“Mum” Barbara screamed for the third time but Mrs. Natalie would not hear her, she still had her head set on. Carrying the little baby, she gave her to her grandmother. “Mom” she stood in front of Mrs. Natalie who carefully removed the headphones from her ears. “Whats wrong sweet?” Mrs. Hampton asked Barbara looking surprise. “I....I have called
PEACE IN THE ENDThe old alpha Gillian laid on his bed and wept for his son, he actually felt Dan had learn’t his lesson and believed he would turn a new leave when he finally got out but he was wrong. The old alpha Gillian was so heartbroken when he found out that his own son wants him dead. Maya tried to console him but she could not do much. “Calm down honey, let us thank God that you are still alive. Its just so unfortunate that he had to end up this way” Maya Gillian comforted him as she held him close..The old man was discharged the next day but he was still pained, he just could not believe Daniel was no more. Steven helped him into the car and he sat at the back seat, he looked sad and did’t speak to anyone. Maya sat close to him and placed his head on her chest, she was glad he is safe no matter what could have happened.TWO MONTHS LATEREveryone laughed and talked in the garden, there was joy and peace at last. The old Alpha was surrounded by his children, their wives and
CAUGHT IN THE ACTThe plan was properly hatched and everyone waited to catch the perpetrator, the hired security guards would put on a medical attire, they would be the only extra doctors in the hospital. Maya and Steve already knew the doctors attending to the old man so it would be easily detected if a strange person comes in. The plan was properly plotted and they waited for what would happen. Jack and Jonas were already in the hospital but did not go inside, they stayed quite far from the hospital and could see everyone going in and out of the hospital.“Honey” a calm voice called out to Maya. She rested her head on the bed close to the old man, she was fast asleep and didn’t hear when the old man called. Maya Gillian was very tired and didn’t sleep the previous night, Steve was not there, he stepped out to see the doctor. The old Alpha Gillian caressed her blonde hair and smiled slightly, she woke up shockingly when she felt someone touch her hair.Maya Gillian pressed her eyes
THE BIRTHDAY PARTYThe long anticipated day had finally come and all the old alpha’s children and their families were there. All his sons were there except Dan, he was probably still in jail. Jack was there with his wife and children, as well as Jonas and of course Steve and his family. They all came the previous day and had spent quality time together; eating, feasting and familiarizing with each other. Jack’s wife-Masha, Jonas’ wife-Betty and Steve’s wife-Barbara got to meet for the first time as well as their children. It was a happy family reunion and the old man was glad to be surrounded with his children and grandchildren.Tony Brian and James Brian were also present at the party. They had flown down from their various locations; the birthday party would surely be a grand one, Jack would be the master of ceremony for the occasion. The party has started already and there was mild music on the background, Mr. and Mrs. Hampton were present too.“Let us welcome the celebrant” Jack
THE BIRTHDAY PREPARATIONThe old alpha John Gillian laid on his bed as he thought about his achievements so far. How he has lived his life, built his company and raised his sons well even though one of them turned out to be a Judas. The old alpha became sad when he thought of Dan still in jail but cheered up when he remembered Steve and his other sons and how they have reconciled with their various families. He smiled more when he thought of Arianna, his heiress and how she was growing fast. He was also overwhelmed when he thought of his favorite daughter-in-law and how she had taken the Gillian’s oil company into a whole new level.“I am glad that I have lived a good and satisfactory life, everything I have ever wanted have fallen into place except of course for Dan. I hope he learns his lessons when he gets out of jail” the old man mumbled and shook his head. He was still thinking when the door to his room opened, it was his wife Maya and his pretty little daughter Sophia.The li
BEING SUSPICIOUSSteve Gillian hired a detective to follow Francis everywhere, Francis Earl lived freely and didn’t suspect or find out anything since the young detective Clark Jones was very smart about the investigation. He took pictures and gathered a lot of evidence to buttress his claims. Clark Jones found out that Francis Earl was the son of a famous billionaire business man, Jack Earl was well known in the oil field and his name rang a bell whenever it was mentioned.“But, why would he work for the Gillian’s family?” the young alpha thought. He decided to probe more to find out why such a young and handsome rich man would work for the Gillian oil company. The young alpha decided to be a part of the company so as to be close to his wife and not give the billionaire’s son a chance to take his wife from him. He was scared to lose Barbara, the love of his life and the mother of his beautiful daughter.The young alpha started by dropping and picking his wife from work everyday, h
MR. FRANCIS EARLIts been six months already and Barbara and her assistant has closed a lot of deals, they have earned the company more contracts and more clients which made the old man delighted, he was sure his company was in good hands. “Even if I join die today, I would not be scared for the oil company” he said as he smiled. Barbara had closed the deal with Doctor Colby’s company and others, and because of how she handled her clients, a lot of people wanted to do business with her company.Mr. Francis Earl has been a great help too, he has distinctly guided Barbara and advised her in different areas. He was truly a professional when it comes to such business, even thought it took Barbara a few months to realise that and to trust him. He still cared for her as normal and treated her kindly but Steve Gillian being a jealous man, would not have it. He did not like the way the young Mr. Francis cared for his wife or stayed around her, he believed he is the only one that should ha
GOING HOMEIt was 5:00pm already and the young Mrs. Gillian was not through with work ,she and her assistant had so much to do but she had to go home to meet her family. “Mr. Francis?” she called her assistant who was still busy putting some data in place. “Yes ma’am” he replied as he looked up. “Its getting late already, you can go” Barbara Gillian said to the young man as she arranged her stuff. “But ma’am, I am still”…….”We will continue tomorrow” Barbara Gillian interrupted him. “And please send a memo, I would like to meet with everyone tomorrow morning by exactly 7:30pm” she added as she got up to go.“Alright ma’am” the young assistant said as he closed the system and got ready to leave. Barbara walked out and he followed her, he would use the elevator to get out also. “Allow me ma’am” he said as he pushed the button on the elevator. It swung open and he allowed Mrs. Barbara Gillian enter first while he followed. “Thank you Francis” she smiled. She was pleased that he was act
THE PERSONAL ASSISTANTBarbara Gillian had barely settled in her office when she heard a knock on the door. She was not expecting anyone so she wondered who could be knocking on the door. “Come in” Barbara Gillian said as she waited to see who it was. A wonder of a man walked in, he looked so gorgeous. “Good afternoon ma’am” the Baritone voice came in a rush. Barbara looked at the man and couldn’t help but notice how pretty he was, his face was comely and his nose pointed. Barbara could not help but notice his small, cute lips as he spoke. He was a fine man but not finer than her husband of course, Steve Gillian was the finest man she had ever seen. She smiled at the thought of the young alpha.“Yes, good day. How may I help you?’ Barbara asked the young man, still surprised as to why he was in her office at that time. “Well, I am Francis ma'am, Francis Earl, your new personal assistant" the man said and smiled. His smile was so cute as it came and his eyes smiled as well. “Persona
Barbara Gillian drove out of the Gillian’s mansion and swerved into the next street A’s avenue, she then drove straight until she got to a huge edifice. On it was written “Gillian’s Oil”, she looked at the inscription again and smiled as she parked at the car park. There were a lot of cars there, she recognized some of them and some she could not recognize them. She heaved a sigh as she turned off her car and stepped out.Another lady was also stepping out from her car; it was Stephanie, the company’s secretary and administrator. Stephanie was retained when she came into the company as a 21 year old intern, she was very fresh from college when she came. Due to her hard work and diligence, the old Adolf and his board of directors had no choice but to retain her. It has been 5 years since then and the young woman has been hardworking and diligent as ever. She took care of the company’s affairs well and represented them well whenever she went for outdoor activities or official duties.
