THE DISCOVERYThe next day, Barbara went to the hospital with her mother accompanying her. The hospital belonged to her family doctor, so she did not go through all the hospital’s protocols, she went straight to the nurse at the reception and was directed to the doctor’s office. This happened because she was well known in the hospital due to minor health challenges. Mrs. Hampton followed her daughter so she could assist her when she needs help but later came back to stay at the reception based on the advice of one of the nurses. “The patient has to see the doctor alone”, the nurse stated seeing that the middle aged woman was following her daughter. “Good morning Doctor Maggie”, the young alpha's wife greeted. “Hello Mrs. Gillian, welcome. Please have a seat”, Doctor Maggie smiled and pointed towards an empty seat. Doctor Maggie was a gynecologist and she was very good with her job, she had delivered a large number of women and their delivery was easy. Barbara’s family doctor refer
GOOD NEWSSteve stayed in the living room watching TV and waiting for his wife to return from shopping, that was what she told him. He also had the divorce papers in front of him, he had made up his mind to let her go no matter how much he loved her. He did not want her to have issues with her father, but his decisions were going to change soon. James was there to assist him with whatever he needed. “James” he beckoned on him. The young alpha's aid was playing soccer on PS4 with his brother Tony when he was called, he gently put down the key pad and rushed to the young alpha. James Brian knew Steve wanted something and he was there to be of service, he has given up his life to serve Steve Gillian. “Could you get me a bottle of vodka please, and a glass?” he asked. “Sure”, James Brian replied and headed straight to the bar by the side of the living room. He looked through all the bottles and finally saw the drink, he picked it up. He also got a glass and a saucer and took it to the
The DisarrayThe old Adolf laid one-sided, he thought of his favorite son Steve. He has not heard from him for some time, so he decided to call. He managed to sit down, then stretched his hand to pick up the phone from the bed rest. He dialled the young alpha"s number, it rang and Steve picked almost immediately, “Hello dad” Steve called out. The old Adolf removed the phone from his ear and checked again, he wanted to be sure it was Steve. The last time he addressed him as dad was when he was very young, before the accident. He sounded excited, like he had won a lottery or something. “How are you son?” he inquired from his son. “Well I am fine, there’s a lot to talk about dad, alot. Probably discuss when I see you “, he muttered. “You sound really excited. I can not wait to hear what you want to say that is making you this happy”, he continued. “And how is my beautiful daughter-in-law? Please come with her whenever you are coming”, he stated. “I propose this weekend, if that’s okay.
NO MORE A SECRETMr. Hilary Hampton heard a knock on the door, he was surprised because he was not expecting anyone. “Could you please get the door Annie?” he said to the housekeeper who was busy washing the dishes in the kitchen. “Okay sir”, she rushed to the door to see who it was and was shocked as well. No one was expecting the person at the door. “Welcome ma'am she stuttered. Thank you Annie, how are you?” she smiled and got inside the house. “I I’m very well ma, thanks” Annie went outside to bring in the bags. Mr. Hampton heard her voice and rushed to see who it was, just to be sure it was really his wife. He saw her and wondered why she came back two days earlier. “I miss her anyway and I am glad she is back” he thought. “Welcome honey” he hugged his wife but she looked rather unhappy. “Are you okay?” he touched her face and she managed a smile. He helped carry other luggage that were too heavy for Annie to carry.“Come, let’s go inside” he held her hand and led her inside t
THE CONFRONTATIONMr. Hilary and his wife slept in difference rooms, he was very angry and decided to sleep in one of the guest rooms. He yawned and closed his eyes, protecting them from the harsh rays of sunlight coming into the room. He rolled over to the other side of the bed and shut his eyes mildly again. The middle aged ma relaxed and thoughts of the previous day's activities raced through his mind, he felt resentment and betrayal from the two most important women in his life and his heart ached. He was going to see the old Adolf and threaten him to inform his son to leave his daughter alone, that would make the divorce process faster. But he remembered that his wife mentioned Barbara was pregnant, “that would make things a little bit difficult and slow down the procedure”. He knew exactly what to do, he would send hoodlums to abduct and drug her. Then a professional doctor would terminate the pregnancy since it was still at it's early stage, the doctor would inject her and the p
THE ARRIVALThe young alpha's brothers stood in the hallway listening and watching the drama created by Mr. Hampton. They whispered and laughed when everything was happening. “I knew it would end this way,” Steve's eldest brother, Jack said and laughed sarcastically. “And I always knew that there is no way that beautiful woman will be married to that invalid for a long time, the Hampton’s are hungry for money so they were blinded. Reality has set in now and they want their daughter back" Jonas, the second son joined. “I just want to taste every part of her and make her mine, I cannot wait” the third son Dan murmured. The others looked at him and were alarmed. “Don’t tell me you still have your eyes on her” Jack muttered. “We all do, don’t we” he looked at his brothers wearing a wicked smile. Just then they heard Maya's footsteps, she was taking the old Adolf back to the room. “Look, little Mrs. Know it all. Let’s go before she sees us and put us in trouble” Dan informed them and th
THE ANNULMENTMr. Hampton got into his room and it looked heavenly, he looked around and couldn’t help but admire the beautiful finishings. “The young alpha sure have taste even in his disability” he chuckled. “Ill just take a quick shower and get some rest” he removed his shirt and then his trousers, he then put on the footwear and went inside the bathroom. Inside was magnificent, there was a fine Jacuzzi, well designed walls and a beautifully made toilet. There were two designers towels hanging on the walls, a heater by the side and clean flowing water. The middle aged man climbed into the Jacuzzi and filled it with warm water, he applied the bathing lotion and dipped himself inside the filled Jacuzzi,, the water covering his face. The middle aged man stayed there for a while, and then came out. Mr. Hilary dried himself with one of the towel and went inside the room to rest. He turned on the air conditioner and slept off.“Dad is acting funny, I don’t understand what he is up to. W
HOME COMINGThe family had fun time together and Mr. and Mrs. Hampton returned home. The young alpha and his wife were happy with everything that has taken place so far and how Barbara’s dad resolved the issue of their divorce, allowing them to be together. “We are finally together”, Barbara caressed Steve's chest touching the hairs on it while the young Gillian stroked her hair. “I think I should call dad now and inform him that we will be coming this weekend. Please, help me get my phone” he said to his wife who stretched her hand and collected the phone from the bedrest. The young alpha dialed his father’s number, it rang and was picked immediately. It was a female voice and it was Maya, his father’s wife. “Hello Steve, how are you?” Maya asked. “I am fine step mom, please where is dad? I need to speak with him” he said calmly. “Okay, hold on. Let me give him the phone” Maya dashed to the living room to give the old Adolf the phone. He was resting in the sitting room so he gave M
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.
