THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 103. SHAKEN
PAMELA’S POVI started getting calls continuously from my mom for days and I felt the strong urge that the time to go back home was drawing nearer than ever. She was always talking about how she wanted to introduce me to a new friend she got and also things she had been up to. She had never had any course to disturb me ever since I left home. Even the times she sent me money, we never talked. I would only get a notification of the deposit and never texted her about it but these days, she had been trying her best to stay connected to me.“Did you know that your brother is now the CEO of one of my companies? He is doing so well that I never knew that he could handle it that way. He’s also trying to get in touch with the lady I told you that I am friends with. I wish they would speed things up and start dating already but then we cannot rush it and there are lots of things on their plates, they cannot afford to start anything romantic now. I should let them be, anytime they are ready to

I trust that you have been well and fine. The Chairman is waiting for you in his study” she said to Pamela and Pamela resumed her walkThe maid rushed to retrieve Pamela’s bag from her and gave it to the nearest maid that was beside her.“I will have the table set before you are done and if there is anything you want, kindly let me know without any delay” she added and Pamela marched forward without any response.She opened the door to her father’s study and met him reading one of his books. His eyeglasses was sitting on his broad nose as he concentrated on the book he was holding d

My opened eyes were filled with sparkling lights radiating from the bulbs up my bed and I closed them faster than I had opened them.“Oh! She’s awake! Are you okay?” the sound of Bea’s voice made my eyes flew open again and this time, I rushed to stand up.“What’s happening? Why am I here? Why is everyone here?” I looked around to see both Amanda and Tina at the other side of the room“You suddenly fainted at the office when you saw the news on the TV. My heart dropped, I thought something bad had happened to you” Bea dropped the bomb and I didn’t even wait to hear her when I turned to see the same news on the TVI dropped down the bed and walked to the TV in order to touch it and wiped my face with my hands too.“So I wasn’t dreaming? It really happened? That was really Pamela?” I asked and Bea nodded with a pout“It did! It really happened” Amanda confirmed and an ear-piercing scream rushed out of my throat.I pushed everything in front of me in anger as I cried out in pain. The hur

PETAL’S POVAs I headed back to the office, I kept thinking about what had happened between Pamela and I. I couldn’t believe that she could turn her back on me that way. We ate, played, cried and did everything together. How did we get to that point?“Are you alright ma’am? Do you want some tissues?” the taxi driver was kind enough to offer me some and I gladly took them to clean my eyes and even blew my blocked nose.Bea was waiting for me at the front of the office and ran to collect my bag as soon as I dropped down the cab.“Why were you waiting in the cold? You should have just stayed inside” I said as we walked into the company together“I figured that you would forget your muffler again today so I stood here to give you one. You shouldn’t catch a cold now that you are still weak, it will be a big problem” she said sweetly and I was forced to smileShe said something warm and comforting to me even though I knew that she was trying hard just to make me smile, she didn’t have to wa

By the time we rushed into the bathroom, she had collapsed to the side and was holding unto one of the stands in the bathroom for support.“Fcking Christ!” Monica spat out and I rushed forward to help her up“Irene! Can you hear me? Can you stand up?” I called out desperately to her as I helped her to her feet.The maid was swift enough to push the emergency button and her attending doctor rushed in with immediate effect. She was attended to immediately and several drugs and injections were administered to her to keep her calm.“What’s wrong with her? Is she getting worse? Should we be concerned?” Monica asked, her eyes getting damped with tears“She upgraded her treatment today so her system has not gotten used to this kind of treatment. There’s nothing to be afraid of but she needs to be taken care of and leave to rest very well so her system can get used to it” the doctor told them and a sigh of relief dropped from Petals’ lips.“Let’s hope for the best” Petals chipped in but Monic

MONICA’S POVTruth be told, I had forgotten all about the beach house, maybe because it reminded me of my mom so much and I didn’t want to wallow in the pain longer. I stopped going to her room, I had everything connected to her packed off from my reach and just let her lived in my heart instead.She was always insisting that I know how to take care of myself because of a situation where she would not be around but I didn’t get all she was saying until she finally passed away.“I don’t know if I’m strong enough to face this” I mumbled as I puffed out the pent up air in my lungs.Immediately I got there, I ran inside as if she was there waiting for me in person and I didn’t come to my senses until disappointment coupled with reality slapped me in the face.“What was I thinking? What was I even expecting?” I sighed as I sank into the lemon sofa by my right.I had to catch my breath for a bit before I stood up to look around.

Michael and Gabriel went out to club and were busy dancing and drinking when someone said a foul language to Michael whom he thought didn’t understood the language. They both fought and were arrested by the police, then Michael was asked to provide his passport but refused.“Why is he not presenting his passport? Did he perhaps lost it?” Stanley asked on their way to the police station“I’m not sure he did that and I don’t know why he’s so adamant. It’s tiring” Gabriel sighed“He might have his reasons. He wouldn’t just act without a plan” Petals chipped inNo matter what anyone said, Michael kept denying that he had a passport. He said he was an illegal immigrant and there was nothing Stanley could do at that point. He was to be sent to the detention center and deported when his identity has been confirmed.“Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine” he said to Gabriel who kept panicking after hearing that he would be detained“Croyez-moi mo frére, mon chien n’aboie pas sans voir quelque ch

They were all at home in the evening when a news of a body being found near the burnt orphanage and the guess was that the body must have belonged to one of the children in the orphanage because it was the built of a child. They also stated that some of the organs were missing which gave room for the suspicions of organ trafficking.Stanley rushed up immediately and ran inside one of the rooms where he kept the pictures. Since she was also curious and he wouldn’t come out to tell them why he ran inside, she rushed to the room too to check what was happening.“Did something happen? Did you find out about something?” she asked, staring at her“The news reminded me of a case I found out while I was making some research. There was a time when the case of organ trafficking was so rampant and they were kids. Their corpses were found at different locations but they had one thing in common and that was missing organs” he explained, flipping through the old newspaper in his hand“So do you thi

TOLU’S POVI was preparing to wash off the sweat of the day and was battling with my robe’s rope when Ray burst into my room unannounced. In horror, I jumped under the blanket, my eyes shining hard as I questioned why he would come inside without knocking but he only apologized and came in further.“I found it!” he screamed and my face frowned in confusion, what was he talking about all of a sudden? My pressurized brain couldn’t process anything. I just wanted him to get out of my room so I can take my bath before heat strangle me under the blanket.“Found what?” I snapped angrily at him“The evidence!” he screamed and I didn’t know when I rolled out of the sheet, the robe dropping off my body“Cover your damn body!” he screamed, covered his eyes and turned away.It was then I realized that I was standing in front of him in my birthday suit. With a loud gasp, I bent and pulled my robe up, tying it tightly across my waist.“It’s covered, now show me the evidence you are talking about”

Since Petals was not in a good state of mind and would be away for the time being, they were short of hand and Ray suggested that they bring in Tolu as a helping hand since she was capable and already told them to let her know when her help was needed.“She’s also good at sniffing out information” Stanley added“I know right. She had this detective spirit ever since we were little” Ray remarked, a slight chuckle dancing in his throatAs soon as Petals’ plane took off, he went to the arrivals and waited a bit before Tolu that he had been waiting for showed up. She was the first to sight him and waved towards his direction to get his attention.“Thank you for coming all the way here and I am sorry for the inconveniences it might have caused” he said with a grin and a smile appeared on her lips“What do you mean by inconveniences?

It took a whole week for Gemma to come to her senses. She always cowered in fear whenever anyone came close to her, even to the point of food. They had to leave her food on the table and disappear from the surroundings before she could eat peacefully.“I shouldn’t have shouted at her and startled her that way” Petals kept blaming herself and hoped that she would come back to her senses soon because she almost died of the curiosity of how Jane was not the sibling she thought she had.During those times, Stanley had successfully gotten her a temporary guidance permit for Pureza and she was able to transfer him out of the hospital to the place she trusted so he could get the ultimate and proper treatment he deserved.“Just take it slow.
