He pouted and responded cheerfully, “I know. At least we are making money by drawing subscribers to our local television.”“That is it. I hope her visitation will be aired?”“Certainly. Godwin knows what he is doing.”“Can I call him and ask them to do that?”“Never mind. Let the two of them rule Canterbury for a day,” he declared with a mischievous smile.Apart from the schools and teachers who were in the classrooms, Canterbury was on partial holiday. Kay and Tim would rather stay with him for emotional support while all offices had one eye on their televisions or devices and the other on their work.The online troublemakers were not left out. Even though they sounded positive, they were eagerly waiting. Nevertheless, the visitation took a different dimension. It became the topic of discussion on the radio and television stations with different captions.(The First Lady's Visit of Fury)(Guess what the First Lady is up to.)(The first Lady and the orphans.)(Mrs. Richmond is angry.)
The pressman was confused but hid it and continued, “Are you saying that you are happy to be the stepmother of all the children?”“Yes. Proudly happy to have them.”“Thank you so much for your time, Your Excellency.”“You are welcome.”“Shit!” Ben exclaimed and hit his hand on the table in disappointment.Presently, the Head of State and his team members had arrived and he was standing beside her. He was smiling broadly when she was answering the question. Subsequently, he crossed his hand on her shoulder in appreciation.Now, the children were happy to see him and began to sing their Anniversary Song - I love you, Daddy.The moment became emotional as he collected the baby from her and gave her a peck on her temple.“I love you, Baby,” he whispered but Godwin captured it and maximized the volume.“I love you, too, my hero,” she responded.Without delay, he greeted the children happily and lunch was served.Adriana's PerspectiveHer phone rang as she was about to drop it. She looked
“Let us run and stop them,” he yelled and moved immediately.“Okay,” they said and ran after him.“Stop. Don't come closer,” they shouted and ran as much as they could.Meanwhile, Tim and Richard were engrossed in their mission and could not hear them. Suddenly, they saw five men running towards them and shouting. “Look at them. Get the teargas ready,” Tim instructed and moved.Unknown to him, the trench was covered with a mat, and before he knew it, he was inside it. “Ouch!” he screamed in agony.In a flash, Richard, who was beside him, fell in as well and landed on him.“Hey!” One of Andrew's men screamed.“They are dead. The explosive will detonate soon,” Andrew lamented and stopped.“We have killed innocent people,” another person stopped beside him and made clear.Now, the five of them stood and waited for the explosion but nothing happened. After two minutes, they looked at each other in wonderment.“What is happening?” Andrew asked in despair.His bewildered colleagues were m
Valentine walked to the door and looked out for the doorbell. When he found none, he knocked.'How can Finley live here? There must be a mix-up,' the old man thought and looked around the building again.Meanwhile, Laura and her parents were resting after their breakfast when they heard the knock and were startled. Instantly, so many thoughts ran through their minds, and the topmost among them was ejection from the house.She got up in trepidation, walked quickly to the door, and looked through the peephole.“What?” She asked when she saw the people and faced her parents.“Who is that?” Her father asked apprehensively.“Pa Suresh and some other person,” she announced in a low tone.“Huh! What brought them?” He asked and walked to the door as well.Laura gave way for him to see things for himself and he peeped. When he saw them, he screamed, “My God! He has come to flaunt his accomplishments before us.”“You are right, Dad. Look how healthy he is.”“Let me see,” her mother said and mov
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

The Holy Bible)(That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. The Holy Bible)Although they were kneeling and their eyes closed, the sentences described the person of the Head of State and he was glad to know that the clergy recognized that.In the course of the service, the Archbishop invited him and his wife for a special prayer. 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
