Richard took them to the Dome where the contractors were waiting for them. Indeed, Samuel's birthday changed their destinies. They only saw the Dome on television before the war. Thereafter, they had no television or the means of seeing it.“Wow!” They exclaimed when they got out of the car.“Do you like the place?” Richard asked them.“Yes, Major,” they responded with glee.They met the contractors and read the terms and conditions of the contract and the two soldiers interpreted it to them where there was ambiguity. At last, one person declined and only Fabian and one person signed the contract.“What is your name?” Richard asked the one who declined after he drove off.“My name is Tyler, Major.”“That is good. Why did you decline the contract?”“From the conditions, I won't have my privacy. My movement will be restricted. I don't like such a lifestyle,” he answered.“That is a wise decision. Fabian and co, do you understand that your privacy will be tampered with as a celebrity?”“
“Point of correction, I am Miss Dickson,” she explained arrogantly.“I see,” he swallowed hard and responded.“Meanwhile, why are you pretending to care about me after releasing the video of my abortion to the public? That shows how unprofessional you are. Are you aware that I can sue you for that?”“It is not what you think. We can talk about it.”“You can keep that to yourself because that is not why I am here. I want the report of the abortion. Period.”“Ha! What do you need it for? I think you should apologize to your husband and come back together.”“I said it. You are unprofessional and too old to articulate the happenings around you. How can a dead man come back with his ex-wife?”To avoid complicating things more, he dropped the discussion and acquiesced to her opinion, “I got it. Kindly wait for your report at the reception. It will be ready in a couple of minutes.”She pushed her lips up and walked out angrily.“Ha! Tim must have lived in bondage while living with her,” he c
A few kilometers away from the hospital, the ambulance screeched and stopped suddenly and the impact almost threw Ambrose off the bed. Tim was affected, too, too, but he was more interested in saving the patient. “Oh!” He screamed and supported him with his two hands.He tried to ensure that he did not fall by pushing him slightly back to the bed. In his haste, many things happened at the same time. His cross bag had hit him severally but he was not bothered.Meanwhile, Ambrose was startled and tried to support himself. He grabbed his bag and Tim was scared. He observed him and noticed that his eyes were open.“Driver, be patient with me and I will pay everything I owe you before the week runs out,” he rambled.“Who are you talking to, Ambrose?” Tim asked him and he was shocked to hear his voice.He looked intently at Tim, but instead of looking back, he knocked on the window to alert the driver, who was trying to restart the vehicle.As an Emergency Medical Technician, he had heard
Meanwhile, Ambrose had sat up and was waiting for the medical gadgets to be removed. The driver looked into his wet eyes and wondered why he was not happy. Instantly, he pulled out the gadgets and adjusted his hospital clothes.“Kindly send for the stretcher,” Dr. Robinson requested and Dr. Edward obeyed.“Ask the mortician to get ready, please,” he faced Dr. Raphael and pleaded.Ambrose got out of the ambulance and Tim led the way. To say that the doctors and Michael were befuddled was an understatement. The driver tried to support him since Tim and Richard were unwilling to do so but he declined.“Don't bother yourself, Sir. I will be fine,” he said and walked on.At that moment, the doctors were back to the verandah, and they saw them.“What happened?” They asked in astonishment.Michael, who bent his head and was weeping, looked up and saw them. He was scared and ran into the reception and stopped when the doctors did not run.The open-mouthed Dr. Robinson looked at the driver and
“Gerald, I am not proud …”“Eat your food,” he yelled at him and concentrated on the television.He broke down instantly and pleaded, “Kindly, hear me out, please. I know I goofed.”“Eat your food first, Ambrose. We will talk about it later,” Richard pacified him.He dried his tears with the back of his hand and sniffed, “Okay.”Michael was crestfallen but he assisted him to open the dishes before he began to eat his own. He was eating silently while Tim ogled at him to ensure that he was eating. Despite the heaviness of his heart, he ate the much that could sustain him.“I'm through,” he said and pushed his plate aside.“Thank you for the meal,” he looked at the two and appreciated them.“You are welcome,” Richard responded while Tim mumbled his response.Michael rounded up his meal immediately and appreciated them as well.“We can leave whenever you are ready,” Tim announced and got up.They got up, too, and Tim said, “Let me inform the doctor,” he said and walked out.They followed
At The Auxiliary Armory PLCTim pulled off his mask before he got to the General Manager's office and opened the door expectantly but he was not prepared for what he saw. His eyes went straight to the secretary's desk and he was disappointed to see it empty.His disappointment was visible to all but the clerk could not say the reason.“Good day, Sir,” the. The clerk greeted him.He breathed in and out to relax his utter and still despondency before he answered, “Good day, Clerk. How is the work going?”“Work is going well, Sir. Kindly take your seat,” he answered and directed him to a seat.He fixed his eyes on him as though he could get the answer to his question from his face before he sat down and appreciated him, “Thank you, for the offer, Clerk.”“You are welcome, Sir. The secretary is with the GM. You will see him when she comes out,” he informed him.As simple as the information was, it soothed his troubled spirit.“I got it. Thank you for informing me,” he answered not knowing
At Mount OliveThe bigamy suit had begun, and all odds seemed against Cecilia and the fake Duke because Tim only presented the picture of the demolished house and alleged that she dumped her husband in the hospital and married the fake Duke. The suit came up a few days after the duke was released at the police station, and he was distraught.Everyone, including Cecilia, was not aware of how the corpse of the original Duke left the palace, but they could not state that as their defense. Rather, she admitted that she dumped him in the hospital but denied marrying the fake Duke.“Why can't anything good come out of Cecilia?” He asked himself in utter hopelessness and began to beat her. Incidentally, her witchcraft was unable to save her.The day they appeared in the court, the two were better described as dead. They were so Ill, and as planned, the old man did not appear because he was critically ill but his lawyer did a good job.Presently, the fake Duke's hope was the new palace. He co
Interestingly, the pressmen who were waiting outside the court were surprised about the story, which was already online, because they did not get such details. It rendered their waiting useless.“The blogger must be in the court with a hidden camera,” one of them said.“That is serious. How did he pass the door with the camera without being dictated?”“I wish I knew.”At Tim's House“Yippie!” He raised his two hands and exclaimed. His domestic staff members were used to such excitement since he started seeing Stephanie and were not surprised. Before the court arose, he uploaded the proceedings on the internet. “Foolish girl,” he cursed her and began to wait for lunch.While waiting, he called Justice Vancouver to appreciate him but he was not available. He hardly cut the call when Barr. Gibson called to inform him of the latest. He picked up the call and greeted him, “Hello, Barrister. Are you out of the court?”“Yes, Tim. We won the case,” he informed him ecstatically.“Wow! How d
At Mount Olive The next day, the Minister of Information released the jingle and the fake Duke and his men were happy.“This is splendid. They treated our matter so soon,” the fake Duke made clear.“I said it. If you didn't move, they would assume you are not qualified to rule the Dukedom,” Elder Kefas pointed out, and the other elders agreed with him.“The time is short and we need the allocation to start planning. Has it been released?” Another elder asked them.“Not at all. What do we do?” The fake Duke asked the elders.“Huh! I propose that you should visit the headquarters again. Ask the person in charge to hasten things up.”“You are right,” he said and looked at the time, “It is just 10 AM. I can do that today,” the desperate Duke stated.His proposal was suitable and they accepted it at once. Without hesitation, he got ready and left.At the Mining Field Ann was preparing happily and perfecting her cooking skills. That was to Valentine's benefit because he became her judge w
At The Mining Field - January The Christmas celebration had come and gone and the workers felt the impact. Fabian's presence brightened the estate. The farmers were happy to hear that they were secured and working for the government and Valentine's workload had increased. Despite his increased responsibilities, as the school resumption was drawing closer, he was getting worked up.“What will I do?” He asked himself.“What did you say, Supervisor?” Pa Suresh, who was sitting with him, asked.He never knew that he was audible enough to be heard and he cautioned himself, “I was just thinking aloud.”They were yet chatting when Fabian joined them and brought up Ann's departure.“She is supposed to leave on the sixth as her admission letter stated.”“I think she is aware of that,” Pa Suresh acknowledged.“That is on Saturday,” Valentine said and Fabian added, “Yes, Supervisor. Three days from now.”“That is good. Have you informed the Major?”“Ha!” Pa Suresh exclaimed and Fabian asked, “
Although she got to the bus before the other staff members, she was standing and waiting for the others because the drivers were not close by.At that point, the fight she tried to avoid came upon her. 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. Before they could separate them, the staff had beaten her beyond her expectations.“Do you think I am your late husband who you can treat anyhow?” He asked her and sat down.
At Laura's House They expected a better life after appeasing the twins, but the opposite was the case. Due to the silent war, they did not watch the program because they felt that it would not interest them. Laura had been in her room since morning and only came out to prepare a quick meal for herself. Afterward, she returned to her room and kept herself busy with her phone before she slept off.Nevertheless, Madeline was worried when her husband did not return. She looked at the time and it was a few minutes before 7 PM.“Where has gone to?” She murmured bitterly and continued to wait.After a while, she got up from her seat, walked to the bedroom, and returned to the parlor. She could not have her dinner and unknown to her, she slept off on the couch.Laura woke up from her sleep and ate the remainder of her lunch. She overlooked her mother and returned to her room. Shortly afterward, she took her bath and went to sleep.However, Madeline woke up a few minutes after midnight and wa
The other women joined them but those who could not, never bothered despite the prize. 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? A widow?”Now, one of the security men thought that he was proving stubborn, joined them and waited for his answer.He smiled mildly and answered, “No, I am not a widow. I'm representing my daughter. Her husband died during the war.”The two were touched and the security man sympathized with him, “We are so sorry for the loss. Why is she not here?”“She had been sick since then and had b
“They will like it if you can assist with the transfer. The university has a campus in Birmingham,” he pleaded as though it was on their behalf and not for his benefit.“Is it possible?” Richard asked him.“Yes, Major. If the President talks to them, they would reconsider her.”“It is all right. Remind me on Monday,” Richard said and shut the door.“Thank you, Major. I …”He stopped when he saw the farmers coming to them with their produce.“We brought the squirrels, Supervisor,” one of them announced and looked at the Major's face.He was happy to know that he liked it. Valentine helped them to arrange them in the trunk. The good thing about their produce is that it is free from fertilizer because they could not afford it.“Thank you,” Valentine appreciated them and shut the trunk.“You are welcome, Supervisor. Thank you for informing him about our predicament.”“It is my pleasure.”“Thank you for the gifts,” Tim and Richard appreciated them at once.“Thank you for accepting them. W
In The Morning Tim, George, and the boys were preparing to go for their shooting training when he got a disturbing call from Richard.“Where are you?” He asked him at once.“I am at the gate, Boss,” he answered him.“I will be with you, shortly,” he said and walked out of his room.He got to George's room and informed him that he wished to visit the mining field. He frowned his face and asked, “On a Saturday? You need your rest.”“I know. Take the boys to the shooting range. I may meet you there,” he instructed him and moved quickly to avoid more questions.“It is all right,” he answered and continued dressing up.Tim got to the garage and drove to the gate. Richard joined him and he moved.“Kindly read the message to my hearing,” he requested and Richard did.After listening to him, he asked him, “When did this happen?”“I don't know.”“Have you not spoken with him?”“No, Boss. I woke up and saw the message and decided to come over at once.”“That is good. I wonder who would have
That evening, they closed from work for the day and resolved to visit the estate and show their appreciation for their cooperation.Likewise, they brought some farm produce to them. To cap it all, the hunters among them brought five sizeable edible gray squirrels.“These are from our hearts. Kindly accept them,” one of them said cheerfully.The workers focused on Valentine who was thrilled with the gesture. The foreigners were thrilled with the neighborliness and waited for him to speak.“This is wonderful. We are happy to know that you found us worthy of your friendship. We appreciate it,” he said.“Thank you for accepting us.”“I hope no one is molesting?” Valentine asked.“No, Supervisor. We appreciate you for your presence.”“You are welcome,” Valentine said and they walked away.He turned and looked at Pa Suresh, who was smiling beside him, and asked, “What do we do with the gray squirrels? I have not eaten it for a long time?”Before he could speak, Tyler and his friends walked
“Thank you, Mark,” they responded one after the other.“Kindly take us to the pavilion,” George requested.“It is all right, President,” he answered and led the way. They moved with him and George was surprised to see Tim walking with the General Manager.'When did he arrive?' He asked himself.Some days are heavy but Tim had to grin and bear it. They checked the pavilion and took notes of the minor work they needed to do before Sunday. George did not have the chance to speak with Tim. However, he was confused when he got on the bus with them.When he looked around and did not see his clunker, he asked himself, 'Did he come with us?'Tim was obediently sitting beside the GM like a wimp and he had forgotten about him. They returned to the complex afterward and got out of the bus. To avoid missing out completely that day, he decided to take the plunge.He followed the General Manager back to his office. When they got to the door, he asked him, “What brings you, Driver?”Now, he had ope
