THE DISAPPEARANCE“Hello dad, Just want to let you know that I have found my wife” The young alpha informed his father. “Oh, that’s wonderful news. How did you find her?” the old man sounded very excited, he and Maya have been worried sick on how to find their daughter in-law. “Well, I received a call from her telling me to come pick her at Nelly's avenue, I hurried there and saw her standing on the road, it was like a miracle” the young alpha stroked Barbara hair as she laid on him. “Let me speak with her” the old alpha said and Steve gave the phone to Barbara.“Hello dad” she said calmly and her long blonde hair poured on her face as she tried to raise up her head but Steve quickly used his hand to brush back his wife's long .hair“How are you my daughter? Hope they didn’t hurt you?” the old alpha asked. “I am fine dad, they didn’t touch me” she uttered. Barbara heard Maya's voice on the background. "Can I please speak with step mom?" she requested."Hey daughter in-law, how are y
THE SURROGATE MOTHER“Hello doctor” Maya Gillian phoned. “Hello” a male voice answered almost immediately. “Maya Gillian speaking” she said rubbing her hair. “Yes ma'am, how are you and the Adolf?” the doctor asked. “Very well, he is resting” Maya Gillian responded again. “I need to talk to you about the surrogate mom, is there any way I can meet her? At least, to know how she and my child are doing before she delivers” the old man’s wife uttered. “You know that not part of the agreement we had, she is fine as well as your child. We will take care of her; trust me and when it is time, we will hand over your baby to you. You don't need to be scared or worried about anything, everything is in control. Your baby us in perfect condition, I assure you. It is our responsibility to take care of her and do the monitoring, so it's okay. Leave her to us, your baby is safe andvfine” the voice spoke again. “And yeah, we carried out some scans and I will send the pictures to you soon” Dr. Al
THE SURROGATE MOTHER“Hello ma'am” the doctor called. “Hi Dr. Allen” Mrs. Maya responded. “Just want to tell you that I thought of a way for you to see Ashley without her suspecting anything” the male voice said again. “Oh really, that’s great news” Maya screamed in excitement. The old man was still resting but opened his eyes when he heard Maya's voice, he looked at her when she screamed the way she did. “Why is she shouting? He thought and closed his eyes again.Maya Gillian reduced her voice and spoke calmly. She walked inside the restroom so she will not disturb the old man. “So, what's the plan doc?” she asked. “This is the plan, there is this new restaurant she frequently visits with one of the nurses taking care of her, it is a very nice restaurant and they make the best chicken sauce. That is the reason she likes it. You will also come there but in disguise because she is very smart and might suspect something, you will make your orders like every other customer and you wil
FATHER FORGIVE USMrs. Hampton sat with her husband by the poolside, she put her leg on the water enjoying the coolness of it and relaxed her head on her husband's shoulder. They were having a good time and chatted about a lot of things. “Honey, I have not heard from our daughter. Has she called you recently?” Mrs. Natalie Hampton asked. Mr. Hilary coughed on hearing the question. "Here you go" Mrs. Hampton gave him a bottle of water, he opened it and drank from it. “No… no, I have not heard from her. She has not called me too. I tried calling her but her phone has been turned off for some days now” Mr. Hilary said as his heart jumped into his mouth. He was really scared because the last time, he asked some people to kidnap Barbara and now he could not tell of her whereabouts. He was so scared and prayed nothing had happened to his only child but he was also worried that her phone has been switched off. Despite the fact that he wanted to give her out to make money, he also still
THE CALL“Grrrrr grrrrrrr” Mrs. Natalie’s phone rang and she closed her eyes firmly so she cannot see anything.. “Who is calling me again?” she murmured . “I am tired and I gotta get some rest now, I cant pick any calls right now” she ignored the call and closed her eyes tightly again but the phone rang again and again. “Oh….Who could be calling me at this time of the night when I am resting? It’s late for goodness sake” Mrs. Hilary Hampton snapped. Mrs. Hampton sluggishly picked up the call without even checking who was calling her. “Hello” she mumbled. “Mum” the voice called. “Who…. Barbara, is this Barbara?” She wiped her face with the back of her palm. “Yes mum, it’s me” the voice came again. Mrs. Natalie screamed loud, even though she tried to control her emotions. “Barbara… my daughter… is this really you? No, I think it is a dream and I do not want to wake up" she closed her eyes firmly again and then slowly opened it, she got up from the bed and walked around, the sleep su
THE CALL CONTINUES“Who could that be? Very terrible indeed. Thank goodness, you are okay my angel” Mrs. Hampton said. “How have you been mum?” the young alpha's wife asked. “I am fine, just miss you very much” she responded. “Don’t worry mum, I’ll see you soon. You will probably come over when my daughter is born” Barbara said. The door flung open and Mrs. Natalie looked behind, it was Mr. Hampton. He had just returned. “Hey babe” Mrs. Hampton greeted her husband and continued with the call.“Is that dad?” Barbara asked. “Yes baby, he just returned” Mrs. Natalie yawned. She was really tired and needed to rest.. “Oh, let me speak with him” she said. “Barbara, she wants to speak with you” Mrs. Natalie whispered to her husband. Mr. Hampton was quite hesitant on collecting the phone, his mistakes sure haunted him. His hands shook as he collected the phone, though his wife did not notice anything “Hello Barbie, how are you?” he asked calmly. “I am fine dad, how are you?” she responded
A BABY IS BORNThe rays from the slight sunlight spread into the room through the large windows, the house was located on an island very close to the beach, it was a beautiful and natural environment. Barbara Gillian laid one-sided on the bed, she was tired and just wanted to sleep more but her personal maid would not let her. Louise was a 56 year old woman who took care of Barbara’s everyday needs. “Madame Barbara” she knocked on her door but Barbara rolled her eyes in anger, she wouldn’t open the door. She knocked again but this time the young Mrs. Gillian managed to sit down, she was still pissed that Louise was bothering her when she didn't want to come out. She looked through the glass windows and saw nature’s beauty. There were palm trees with their leaves swaying from place to place and picture-perfect sunsets too, the mountains surrounding their house and the towering waterfalls was not something to be left out. “Hawaii is an incredibly beautiful place anyway” Barbara sai
THE HEIRESS IS BORNBarbara finally held her daughter close, she was so beautiful and looked so much like the young alpha. The young Mrs. Gillian was quite jealous and wondered why the baby did not look like her. She looked at her baby's face again and smiled, she realised that the baby indeed had pretty eyes just like hers. The Couple looked at their baby for a while, she was sucking her mouth which signified she was hungry. “Breastfeed her” one of the nurses instructed. Barbara didn’t really understand but put the baby close to her chest and she grabbed her nipples. Barbara was not lactating at the moment but the baby sucked all the same, Steve Gillian watched this awesome moment between mother and child and could not contain her joy. “What should we call her?” the young alpha asked his wife who was busy observing her new born daughter. “Let us call her Arianna or Mildred” Barbara said. “I think I prefer Arianna” The young alpha said. “Arianna it is” Barbara said and smiled. Stev
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.
