FAREWELLSteve held Barbara and she placed her head on his shoulder as they walked to the room. They got to the door and Steve pulled the doorknob, opening it. He allowing Barbara to go in and then followed, the room was quite dark until he turned on the lights. The young alpha had a change of clothes and laid on the bed, Barbara did the same and joined him. She wore a short transparent night wear, sat down on the bed and rested her back on the bed rest. “You don’t call me endearing names” Steve said facing her. Barbara laughed hilariously at Steve for saying that, he also did not call her endearing names. Steve looked at her and was concerned, he did not understand why she was laughing. “I am sorry for laughing….but you also do not call me any nice name” she became serious now. “Okay, let’s strike a deal. From today, we will not call each other's names” Steve suggested. “We are going to choose names we will call ourselves, I will call you “sweetheart” is that okay? He asked Barbara
THE APPOINTMENT Maya supported the old alpha downstairs and they walked to the car. Mrs. Gillian would drive, she did not want the driver or any of the maids to know where she was going. The old alpha's wife opened the rear door for him and he went inside, she wanted him to be comfortable instead of staying in the front and feeling uncomfortable. Maya Gillian closed the door and went to the driver’s seat to sit down. She put on her seat belt, started the car and drove off. The ambience was cool and it seemed like the old man was in deep thoughts, Maya observed him many times through the rearview mirror. “Are you okay honey?” she asked and smiled, still observing him through the rearview mirror. “Yeah…… just thinking about my sons” he said with a frown. “Do not worry honey, all will be well” she said wearing a slight smile again.“So, what are you going to do now?” Maya Gillian asked the old man who removed his hat and rubbed his head. “I’ll just release them since I have promised
ON THE ROADMaya Gillian drove on the road and chatted with her husband, they laughed and talked about different things. She observed the old man through the rear view mirror and looked back rarely in order to have eye contact with him.. “I can’t wait for this whole procedure to be over so that I will carry and nurse my own child, I will finally be a mum. yeah...” she screamed in excitement raising up one of her hand. " If it's a boy, I'll name him Gilbert and if it's a girl, I'll call her Gabriella" she had smile at the corner of her mouth. “Yeah, I know you are happy” the old man said. “Thank you baby, I love you, I love you, I love you. You are just the best honey” she told the old alpha who smiled. “Anything for you my baby, you know I cherish you and would do anything for you” he whispered and Maya giggled.“I have not heard from Steve and his wife since they left, I just hope they are fine. I will call them when we get back home” he uttered. “Oooh my…God” Maya's heart skipped,
A NEW BEGINNINGThe old man and his wife got to the hospital, the day for the operation had finally come. The old alpha wrote a cheque and gave it to the doctor and then they signed all the legal documents that contained the terms and conditions of what they were about to embark on. Maya was taken into the theatre first, they wheeled her in and her husband was there to support her. There were other doctors around apart from Dr. Allen. You will be fine ma'am, the doctor assured Maya Gillan. Though she was quite scared but she nodded her head and managed a smile. “Breathe and be calm, your husband is here for you” the doctor said again. The old man held her hand and smiled. “You are strong honey, let’s do this” the old alpha said. “It’s about time” the doctor said and brought out a syringe already prepared to sedate her.She was injected shortly before the retrieval of the eggs, this was to prepare her for the procedure so that she won't feel any pain. Maya's legs were parted open for
THE KIDNAPMr. Hampton looked around and there was no one in the living room. Mrs. Hampton was busy in the kitchen and Annie had gone to get groceries, he looked again to be sure no one was looking. The middle aged man touched his beards and had a wicked smile at the corner of his lips. Mr. Hampton moved outside to make his call, he wanted to be free of suspicion. “No one will ever suspect me” he said and smiled wickedly again.“Hello, yes. Just finished speaking with use and she is driving along Drake’s avenue. Do it now but make sure you don't harm her in any way ” he instructed and ended the call. “Fools, they think they can fool me and go against me just like that and I will not retaliate" he said with a frown. "They sure believed that I’ll just be quiet without doing anything about the betrayal. See how that little girl fooled and betrayed me. She betrayed me after everything; I will deal with her and she will marry the heir of the Woodridge pack whether she likes it or not, Sh
KEPT HOSTAGEBarbara was taken to an unknown location, she was still sleeping and didn't take note of anything. Even though it looked good from the inside, it was located inn a deep forest where people could not access. No one could tell that there was a house there, Alfredo carried her like he was carrying a baby since she was pregnant and her baby bump was already visible. He was being careful with her and obeying instructions not to hurt or harm her, he carefully dropped her on the bed and she was still sleeping.“Hello sir, the deed is done. She is at the place now” he said having a wicked smile on the corner of his lips. “Okay, make sure you keep an eye on her, she is very smart. Also make sure you give her food and water, she is still my daughter no matter what, treat her well. Well done, I will see you later” Mr. Hampton ended the call. Alfredo sat on the chair watching her, she slept like a baby. He was a very professional person so he kept his distance while the other guy,
RUNBarbara was frustrated since she could not find any clues, the aroma from the kitchen drew Alfredo's attention and also Darius that slept in the other room. “This smells nice, it must be thirsty” Alfredo said while his stomach rumbled. Barbara was so generous and also made for them, it seemed like she read their minds.“Would you like some?” He gave a tray of steamy spaghetti and grilled chicken to Alfredo who was not expecting it. “Th..thank you” he appreciated her and she nodded her head. “And this is for you” she also gave a plate to Darius who had injected her earlier, he came to the living room when he realised Barbara was cooking. “Thank you so much” he quickly put a spoonful into his mouth and swallowed greedily.“This is good ma'am, you cook so well” Darius complemented Barbara who smiled. “Enjoy yourselves and let me know if you want more food. Thanks, you are so nice” Alfredo said calmly, he was ashamed of himself for treating her bad earlier. They finished eating and
SET FREEThe next day, Barbara woke up early and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Alfredo and Darius were still sleeping but the aroma from the kitchen filled the whole place. The sweet smell woke them up and they rushed to the sitting room to check what the young Mrs. Gillian was cooking. “But who would be kidnapped and still cook for the people that kidnapped her” Alfredo thought. Darius yawned continuously and did not give thought to anything, he was waiting for the food to be ready so he can devour it. Barbara finished cooking and brought a plate each for the guys. “Here you go” he gave a plate of rice and chicken stew to Darius and then to Alfredo who salivated at the sight of it, it looked very nice. “Thank you” they both said and started eating. Barbara only smiled. "Enjoy your meal, I’ll be in the room” she carried a tray of food and left to the room. “Alfredo’s phone rang, he checked and saw that it was Mr. Hampton. He coughed, the food almost choking him. “Hello
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.
