At The Head of State's HouseAfter the scandal, he prayed for the weekend to come quickly so that he would have ample time with his wife. He was happy when Friday finally came. “I cannot thank you enough, Adriana,” he said when he returned from work.She hugged him tightly and whispered, “I am a lucky woman. Husbands like you are rare.”He tapped her back and corrected her, “No, Adriana. I am the luckiest man. I can't remember any woman who stood by her husband at such a trying period. You are my jewel.”She looked up and locked eyes with him for some seconds. Finally, she smiled softly and said, “We are lucky to have found each other.”“Yes. I will never let you down. The scandal was a test of our love for each other.”“Yes, and we won. I will always be your baby.”“Thank you, my baby.”From that moment, they began another session of honeymoon until that morning. At the dining table, he asked her, “How did you convince the Information Minister to broadcast your visit to the orphanag
(Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.

He stood up and helped his wife to get up as well. They walked hand in hand to the altar and he pleaded, “Your Grace, may I request the members of my council to join me?”“Your wish is granted, Your Excellency,” he said and they filed out immediately.At that point, he stretched out his left hand to his Chief Security Officer, who was be
Monday At The HeadquartersThe Head of State was relieved and it was visible to all. His phone began to ring the moment he got to the office and he had been answering and receiving compliments from friends and fellow Heads of State.Likewise, Kay walked in to check on him.“Is there any news about the poster?” He asked him after he took his seat.“None yet, Your Excellency.”“It is all right. My CSO is on it.”“That is good.”“I saw a congratulatory message from the Defense Minister of Kings Land. Could it be a ploy?”“Ha! It may not be and he may be innocent of the post.”“I think so. The poster should confess on his own accord. Otherwise, I will not spare his life if detected.”“You just said my mind, Your Excellency. Tim is good at fishing out such people,” he made clear.“I see.”They discussed other issues, especially the promotion of officers and the upcoming Founding Day before Kay returned to his office.At The Mining FieldPa Suresh was the most favored by Samuel's birthday a
At Tim's House.It has been some weeks since their beautiful relationship was strained due to the old man's low self-esteem and Ella could not tell her offense. She felt unwanted and wished to withdraw from the services she gave to him. Not because she hated him, but because each time she thought of visiting him and the cold shoulders she would get, she felt bad.“Why is he withdrawn? Could it be connected to his health?” She pondered and wiped the tears that were rolling down her cheeks“We no longer chat at night,” she sniffed.Now, making up her mind to stop was as difficult as continuing. Nevertheless, she was consumed by his well-being and resolved to continue. Mere seeing him feed well was enough encouragement for her.She was with him that day, and after his meal, she said, “Have a lovely day, Old man.”Previously, he would have urged her to stay longer but did not.“Same here,” he responded curtly without attempting to get up and walk her to the gate.Nevertheless, she swallow
“Kindly sit down,” Levi requested and sat down on one of the chairs.“Excuse me,” the janitor said and left.The old man ignored him and stood still. He studied him as he tried to bring out the stuff from the basket.“Who sent you to me?” He asked him.Levi looked up from his basket and answered, “Sgt. Courtney, my supervisor sent me to you, Old man.”'George and his boss must have asked him to withdraw Ella,' he thought.All the same, he swallowed hard and sat down. He focused on Levi who had opened the fruit bowl. He picked up one of the fruits and began to eat.“Yummy!” He exclaimed joyously.He locked eyes with the old man and could not read his expression.“Eat, Old man,” he said after swallowing the fruit.Without waiting for him to start, he picked up another fruit and threw it into his mouth.“This is the kind of fruit I like,” he said with a silly grin while chewing it.'They noticed that I was not happy with Ella and replaced her with this glutton,' he thought.“I can see th
“Come with me,” he said and climbed the staircase.“Okay, Boss,” he said and followed him at once.“Were you aware that Ella did not come today?” He asked him when they got to the room.“No, I am not. What happened?”“I don't know either. The janitor said that a male staff came to care for him.”“A male staff? Who could that be?”“The old man is hysterical. I think he should see a doctor.”“Ha! What happened to him?” He asked anxiously and tried to get up.“Calm down. He will be fine. I have asked Francis to prepare his herbal soup for him.”“I don't get it. Didn't the male staff serve him any?”“I don't think so. I didn't see the flask.”“Huh!” he exclaimed and stared at the wall.“You can change your clothes and get ready for the hospital. Okay?”“I got it,” he said and got up.A few minutes later, George returned after he had changed his clothes. They got to the old man's room and met him eating. Apart from Ella's absence, his system needed to be fed but it was deprived and disorga
“Don't take it too far, Mrs. Suresh. I thought we were family, and you should let me know that she is leaving for school.”She walked to the vacant chair and sat down before she agreed, “You are right for thinking that way. We are supposed to let you know.”“It is all right. Where is the school if I may ask?”Now, Ann was through with the other person and joined them. She sat beside her mother and answered, “Belgium.”“Yes. University of Ghent,” her mother concurred.Instantly, he had some butterflies in his stomach but concealed it. The distance by flight to Belgium from Christchurch was 6 hours and he considered it too far away.“Why are you going to Belgium when they have a campus in Birmingham?”“That is the campus I was posted to.”“Maybe it is because she applied late,” her mother chipped in.Nevertheless, he composed himself and complimented her, “Congratulations.”“Thank you, Supervisor, for your understanding.”“You are welcome,” he said and ordered his food.While eating, he
At Tim's HouseThe family was chatting happily in the parlor after their lunch when they heard some cars driving into the compound.“Big brother is back,” Samuel shouted and got up at once.The others got up as well and followed him out of the house. They got to the foyer and saw George and his team. He got out of the car with his devices and a bag.Samuel walked to him, welcomed him,m and collected the bag.“Why so early,” Tim asked him.He saluted him accordingly and informed him about the results of the promotional exams.Tim was thrilled. He spread his arms and said, “This calls for a hug.”“Yes, Boss,” he said and walked into the outspread hands.They hugged each other tightly. After a few seconds, Tim tapped his back and said, “I am proud of you.”“Thank you for the compliment. I promise not to let you down.”They released each other, and he hugged his father, too, “Congratulations, Son. I am pleased to hear this,” he complimented him.“Thank you, Dad.”Afterward, they walked in
