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
GIRLS OUTINGBarbara laid on the bed beside Steve, she held him tight and they discussed deeply. “Sweetheart, when is mum leaving?” the young alpha asked as he looked deeply into his wife’s eyes. Barbara Gillian was not happy with the question. “Are you trying to chase my mum away?” she gave her husband a weird look. “No baby, don’t get wrong. I just feel your dad will be missing her, it’s over a month since she came and I am just speaking from a man's perspective he added. “Just tell me if you want my mum to go” Barbara rolled her eyes as she spoke and swiveled to the other side of the bed, turning her back towards Steve. “Baby, are you angry? I am just concerned for your dad” Steve held her close and she struggled to break free. “Calm down baby, why are you this angry? Just feel for your dad and nothing else” he said and Barbara rolled her eyes again. “Okay, am sorry” he tickled her and she let out a serious laughter. “You know I can do anything for you my love” he said. Barbara t
I MISS MY WIFEBarbara gave directions as they drove around town, the three women chatted and laughed about a lot of things. “So, where is my daughter taking me?” she asked. “Do not worry, we are going somewhere interesting” she paused. “Or maybe I should ask your opinion, where would you like to go mum?” Mrs. Gillian asked as a slight smile tugged on the corner of her lips. “There are nice and iconic beaches here in Honolulu, there are also nice places to eat great meals. So, where would you like to go mum?” Barbara asked again. Mrs. Natalie slightly raised her eye brows as she thought of where to go, the two offers were great indeed. On one side, she would eat nice meals in one of best restaurants in Honolulu and may even get to eat her favorite meal and on the other aspect, she would get to visit one of the nice beaches in the town. It was quite a delicate decision to make. “Mum, are you here?” Barbara asked her mum who seemed lost. “Oh yeah” she was brought back to reality. “Y
LEAVING HAWAII The soft rays from the sunlight spread into the room through the slightly opened glass windows, Mrs. Hampton turned towards the other side with her buttocks raised up. She stretched herself and continued sleeping, she was tired from the previous day activities. Barbara's mum turned again and yawned, this time a little bit awake. She got up and sat on the bed, stretched herself again and looked at her wristwatch. It was 6:00am already and her flight was slated for 8:00am; like a sudden rush of wind, she jumped out of the bed. “Oh my.., it’s 6:00am already but I set my alarm for 5:00 am. I must have slept so deep that I did not hear it when it rang” she muttered. Mrs. Natalie rushed to the bathroom to quickly have her bath, them she came out and started arranging her things. It was not too much work since Louise has helped her arrange them a few days ago, she would just do the little remaining. She took off her clothes from the hangers as she folded them inside her
THE RECOVERY“Hey honey, which shirt should I put on? The red or blue shirt?” the old man asked as he had a smile tucked on the corner of his lips. “I would prefer the blue since it always look good on you” Maya responded to the old man who was excited. He was preparing to meet an investor and he would not make less than 50 million dollar. That was the power of money, it could make anyone happy.“Alright darling” he put on the blue shirt and a well ironed black trousers and then applied a nice perfume. He was looking very handsome and dashing in his costume. “I can’t wait for Arianna to grow fast so that she can take over from me since her father is not interested in our family business” John Gillian said as he sighed and Maya frowned. “What about Sophia? She is your biological daughter and Arianna is just your grandchild” Maya spat back at her husband. The old alpha smiled, he didn’t utter a word. I will see you beauties soon” he kissed Maya on her forehead. The old alpha gave Sop
BACK TO BUSINESSThe old alpha walked straight down as described by the receptionist, it was a quite a long walk but he finally saw an entrance". "But she said I will see a door, not an entrance. Then, this must be the entrance to the conference room" he mumbled. He got to the entrance and saw that he still had to walk down through the bend but was lucky to see a man standing there. The old alpha was not confused anymore, he had more confidence now, at least he has found someone who direct him to the conference room. The Adolf met a fine huge man at the door, the man's face was very serious but smiled on seeing the old Adolf. “Welcome sir. Adolf Gillian?” Mikel said as he welcomed him. The old man was surprised that the young fine man recognise him. How did you know that I….?” “A lot of people know you sir, mostly those into oil and gas, I was told that you will be coming for a meeting here” the bodyguard said. "I have heard so much about you and longed to meet you one day, I
CALLING BARBARA John Gillian sat in the living room watching an hilarious movie, he laughed hard after watching every scene. It was an Eddie Murphy's movie and the actor nailed every part of it so well. “What movie are you seeing honey?” Maya Gilliann asked as she sat right beside her husband. “What is the title?” The old man's wife asked as she looked at him. “Well, I do not really know. I just tuned to this channel and I saw it showing” she said. Where is Sophia?” the Adolf asked his wife and looked around like he was looking for something. “Oh, I left her with Claire in her room, they were actually playing when I left ” she said smiling. The old man looked at Maya. “Seems you trust Clara so much, please be careful” John Gillian advised. “Even though I trust her but I will be careful, thank you honey, thank you for looking out on me” she kissed him on his forehead. The couple continued with the movie and Maya joined in the laughter few minutes later, she laughed until her eyes
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.
