They woke up that morning and he prepared for work. He was waiting for her on the dining table when the breaking news came up and he was startled. His initial reaction was to run away from the house. He hung his jacket, picked up his phone, and walked briskly out of the house.

He was about to get into the car when she ran out, stopped at the verandah, and called out worriedly, “What's up, Hubby? You did not take your breakfast.”

To cover up that he was running away from her, he answered, “My attention is needed in the office.”

“Move,” he ordered his driver and he moved at once.

“It is okay,” she waved at them and returned to the house.

    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.

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.)

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.

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.

Since she was the first to come, she expected that the other staff members would allow her to get on the bus before them, but they were too happy to think of that.“I came before you,” she said and tried to stop the staff who was about to get onto the bus.“And so what?” The staff asked and removed her hand that was blocking him forcefully. She staggered backward and the others held and stopped her from falling.As an aggressive person who must not let go, she regained composure. Without appreciating those who helped her, she got onto the bus and hit the staff who was about to sit down very hard and a fight ensued.

The groups danced and it was fun.“Thank you for this,” the host appreciated them, but there was an observation.A middle-aged man was sitting with the widows, and it was strange. The organizers thought it was an error and one of them walked up to him to correct it.“Hello, Old man. You should sit with the widowers and not here,” the official informed him.“Thank you for informing me, but I am not a widower,” he clarified.The organizer furrowed his brow and inquired further, “If you are not a widower, what are you?
