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
COMING SOON “Tell me exactly when you are coming back Barbara, I need you guys back. I need to see your husband-my beloved son, you, and my precious grand daughter. I haven’t seen you in almost two years, we need you back and the company needs you back too” the old man continued. Barbara kept quiet again, she didn’t know what to say.“Are you there Barbara?” the old alpha asked when he didn’t hear a word from her. “Oh…ye….yes dad. Would speak with my husband about it and we will see how we can come sooner than planned” Barbara Gillian assured her father-in-law. "And as for the company, I really don't know yet if Steve would let me continue with work but however things turn out to be, I would always render a helping hand" the old man heard Barbara say. “Alright my dear, we need you in the company now more than ever. And leave Steve to me, he is my son and I know him well. I will talk to him" John Gillian informed Barbara.I am expecting to hear some good news from you, to hear
READY TO GOSteve Gillian came into the house at exactly 8:00pm in the evening and met Barbara waiting for him in the cozy sitting room, she wore a short see-through night wear. He looked so handsome in his loose white shirt and black denim shorts. His masculine body stuck to the shirt as he walked close to his wife and she admired him. “Welcome my hero, I have been waiting for you. Where have you been?” the young Mrs. Gillian asked as she got up to hug her husband. She hugged him tight while Steve wrapped his arm around her. “I miss you honey” she whispered. “I miss you too darling” Steven smiled still in Barbara’s grip.“You look and smell so nice baby, you make me wanna eat all of you” Steve whispered into Barbara’s ears and she laughed so loud. “Let’s sit” Steve said to his wife.The young alpha held Barbara and led her to sit down in one of the chairs in the living room. “Where is Louise?” Steve Gillian asked as he looked around. “She has retired to her room to rest. She's
THE DISCUSSIONIt was 6:00am already and the soft rays from the mild sunshine filled the room through the glass windows and exposed glass doors. The curtains on the glass doors were folded to one side, giving the sun access into the room and making it lighted.The couple continued resting till morning, It was bright already and they didn't know, they seemed to be deep in their sleep. Steve stretched himself, yawned and turned towards the other side of the bed and continued resting. Barbara also yawned and stretched her body, she was half asleep and half awake. The young Mrs. Gillian opened her eyes slightly, still feeling quite dizzy. She yawned again and sat on the bed, covering herself with the thick duvet. The young Mrs. Barbara wiped her eyes with the back of her hands, she was fully awake now. “Oh Arianna, she must be hungry now ” she jumped up from the bed when she realised she didn't check on her baby all night. Without looking at the cloth she picked up , she put on Ste
THE COMPROMISELouise served the food. It was rice, smoked chicken and curry stew. That was what she made for breakfast. Apart from the fact that the aroma of the food was everywhere, it looked yummy and appetizing too."This looks and smells good, I hope it also tastes good" Barbara mumbled as she licked her lower lips. "Anyway, I trust Louise. I know she cooks very well" Barbara licked her lips again when she removed the cover of the plate, she salivated on seeing the food, she was very hungry. The young Mrs. Gillian scooped one spoonful of rice into her mouth and closed her eyes as she chewed, making a sound. “Well done Louise, the food doesn’t just look good, it tastes good as well” Barbara Gillian complemented her and she smiled. “Thank you ma'am, I am glad you love the food” Louise said.The little baby Arianna looked at her mother like she wanted some and she put some grains of rice in her mouth, the baby chewed in a funny way and both parents laughed.Louise finished serv
THE HUGE PREPARATIONAnnie came inside the sitting room carrying a tray which contained spaghetti and egg sauce. She drooped it in front of the two brothers. “Here you go” She said as she smiled. Thanks Annie, you are the best chef ever” James Brian teased her while Tony laughed.Annie giggled on hearing that. "I'll go get some water and fruit" she said as she proceeded to the kitchen to get cold water and some water melon for them. "Here you go" Annie said as she positioned a plate of already sliced water melon before them."You see why I love you so much Annie, you are so nice" Tony said, raising his hand into the atmosphere while his brother smiled. Annie giggled again on hearing that."Enjoy your meal" she said as she went back to the kitchen to clear up some things. "She is pretty" James kept starring at her as she walked inside the kitchen.“We need to make sure everything is in place and well positioned before the arrival of the young alpha, you know he loves excellence in al
COMING HOMEMr. Hampton could not wait till the next day, he was bothered since his daughter, grand daughter and his son-in-law would be returning the next day. He called John Gillian to let him know of his decision to meet with him that night and he agreed. Mr. Hilary Hampton had plans to go see the old man after the party and would go with his wife so both women could discuss as well. They had to plan everything and make a list of the things they would need for a small welcome party.They could have planned it earlier but no one thought about it. The drive from Alpha George’s place was quite easy and the locations were close, it was not stressful at all. Honey, it’s 9pm already. Do you think the old man would still be awake?” Mrs. Natalie Hampton asked. “Sure, he asked me to come. Let us get there first and then we will see if he is asleep or awake" Mr. Hampton said.“We would drop a message if he is sleeping but it will be better if he is awake so we can talk” Mr. Hampton utter
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.
