BEING MRS. GILLIAN The newly weds returned from their honeymoon and life resumed as normal, just that they were now living under the same roof. Their lives had changed; they had to share the same room, same bed, everything. They now lived in a mansion that the old Gillian gave them as a wedding gift. There were maids and other domestic staffs to serve them, so they did not lack help.James and Tony were there to take care of the young alpha personally. Barbara was now one of the directors in the oil company and she was loving it, she was on a huge salary too. Her life had changed for the better, she was now becoming the woman she had dreamt of becoming. It was already one month into their wedding and there was no intimacy, Barbara and Steve just lived like room mates. Barbara did all she could to keep to the plan of not getting intimate with her husband and the young Gillian did not bother disturbing her. Even though he liked her a lot, he understood their marriage was arranged an
SHE IS MY WIFESteve got back home and was furious, he was jealous with what he saw at the restaurant. “How could my wife be laughing and drinking with another man, how could she”? He yelled. “ I know we don’t really talk but I will not watch another man take my wife away from me, I will not allow it”, his eyes turned red. He was fierce, he could not hide his jealousy. James and Tony stayed away from him for some time, they did not want to experience his venom. He calmed down and fell asleep on his wheel chair, James who watched him from a distance helped him get on the bed with the help of the other beta.“I think he is in love with ma’am Barbara, just see how he reacted to seeing her with another man”, James thought. Tony shrugged and kept eating his wafers, he did not know what to say. Some minutes later, Barbara came into the bedroom. James Brian and his brother already left so Steve was alone in the room. He was awake now and was going through some pictures on his phone, he pla
I WANT YOUBarbara carefully pushed him to the car even though she was confused on how she will get him into it. She called on one of the domestic staffs to help her. The young man assisted her and they got Steve into the car, she also instructed him to put the wheelchair in the trunk of the car. “Thank you”, she said and drove off. There was silence in the car, the ambience was cool coupled with the cool air coming from the air conditioner. “Have you always been like this?” Barbara gazed at her husband and looked back on the road. She had to concentrate since she was driving. The young alpha sighed deeply, he did not say a word. “You can talk to me”, Barbara assured. Steve still did not say anything, his countenance was different. The young bride drove to a very beautiful place and parked the car in front of it; it was a special environment, a resort meant for couples. There a beautiful garden and waterfalls but they stayed in the car. “Well I am sorry if I brought back horrible m
TAKE ME, I AM YOURSSteve and Barbara continued to enjoy their meal. They laughed and discussed about a lot of things as they ate, they were still eating when Merko walked in, that was the name of Barbara’s friend. He saw Barbara and went straight to embrace her from behind, Barbara was surprised and didn’t know who it was until she turned around. Hi….., she smiled. She was excited to see her friend. “I just came to get something to eat and I saw you, ‘How are you?”. Steve was mute, he was just observing them and eating his food. His eyes were red with jealousy and he raged with anger watching his wife talk to another man like that.“Oh sorry, this is my hus……”, “friend”, Steve interrupted her. “I am her friend”, he continued. Merko stretched his hand for a handshake but the young alpha declined. He understood and left. “Why didn’t you accept his handshake?” Barbara asked. Steve did not respond to her, he did not speak. The young man was a jealous lover and he wanted his woman for hi
THE DIVORCE The couple cuddled and held tightly to each other but Barbara was a bit shy. She looked away when Steve looked into her eyes. “I will never forget this moment”, the young alpha whispered as he held unto his wife’s hand and played with her wedding ring. Mrs. Barbara gently looked at her husband and her expression changed. “Our divorce is tomorrow and our journey together will finally come to an end”, she said faintly. “Not so easy, especially now that I am crazy about you. I won’t let you go just like that. I will fight for our love” he assured her.Barbara's mood became lighter. “How do you intend doing that? You know you cannot fight my father, you can not stop this”, she cried. “Do not worry, I will figure out something”, the alpha said calmly. His ability to be calm even in delicate situations was great. “Why don’t you just get me pregnant? That way your father will fight for us knowing I am carrying his grandchild”, the young Mrs. Gillian suggested. “What do you wa
PANDEMONIUMBarbara and Steve cuddled and enjoyed the company of each other, they spoke and laughed about a lot of things. They were a happy couple and wished the moments never ended but they would get divorced the next day. Barbara placed her head on Steve's leg and he stroked her hair, he sat on the fluffy mat and rested his head on the head rest.The young Mrs. Gillian was going through their wedding pictures. "Wow, this is beautiful. Come on, take a look", she showed her husband the picture. It was her in her wedding dress and Steve in his suit, looking very handsome. She yawned while Steve was still going through the snapshots, he was smiling as well. " See how serious I look", he mumbled. Barbara popped out her eyes. "Yeah, you were looking so serious that day. I actually peeped at you occasionally and you were not even smiling, I honestly didn't know you could smile" she teased him."I am going to the kitchen, do you want anything?" Barbara stood up. "Yes please, I would love a
UNDENIABLE AFFECTIONMr. Hampton stayed quiet, he was lost in thoughts. He could not believe his own daughter could betray him and go against his plans just like that, he bit his lips continuously. Just then his phone rang, it was Barbara’s call. He looked at his phone and frowned, the phone continued to ring and he did not pick up. The phone rang for the third time and he managed to pick it but stayed quiet.“Hello dad”, he heard Barbara's voice. “What do you want?” he yelled. “Is everything okay dad?” the caller asked. “You think you can go against me right? After everything we have been through, you choose to betray me just like that", he chuckled. “I don’t understand anything you are saying dad, what do you mean by saying I betrayed you?”, the young Mrs. Gillian asked calmly. “Well, I heard your conversations yesterday. I called once and you did not pick. And when you finally did, I heard everything. Everything you and that crippled man have planned against me”, he yelled louder
The LieMrs. Natalie came back to the sitting room after speaking with her daughter. She was wearing a long face, she wanted to see her princess by all means possible. She walked to the corridor and paused, she placed her hand over her head and tried to control herself. Mr. Hampton waited anxiously for his wife to hear her feedback from their daughter but was perturbed when she sat down gently,she looked disturbed and her teary eyes were about to pour down her curvy face.“Wh..what is the matter?” he stammered. “What is wrong with Barbara? What did she say? Why did your countenance suddenly change?” he asked all the questions but Mrs. Natalie Hampton could not say a word, she stayed quiet for a while and bowed her head. “Talk to me”, Barbara’s father got close to his wife and tried to make her talk. “Please talk to me”, he tried using his hand to lift up her face.“I need to see our daughter”, she busted out. I need to see her as soon as possible, that girl is going through a lot an
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.
