The Return of General Williams 390. Laura's Dilemma 3
To Valentine, Tim may sound boastful but Ambrose knew better. "What do you think, Ambrose? Do we employ another person for that?" Richard asked him."No, Major. I can handle it."He faced Tim, smiled, and undertook, "I got it, Boss. We won't let the Third in Command down.""If you say so.""That is good to hear. Let's see the farmers," Richard said and moved.They followed him at once and walked to the farm. Since the incident of Monday, the farmers had not seen Tim and Richard. They stopped work when they saw them and greeted them accordingly."Good afternoon to you all," they responded simultaneously.Tim stepped aside and Richard addressed them, "Thank you all for your patience."Meanwhile, George, the General Manager, and the team arrived and parked beside the clunker. They got out of the car immediately and George tried to walk to the estate."They are at the farm, Major," one of the security guards informed him after the salutations."Thank you for informing me," he said and mo

At Laura Dickson-Williams' Bedroom“I will goad him into a fight and leave this marriage based on domestic violence. I don't understand why he will not accept my proposal to end the marriage,” the twenty-one-year-old Laura resolved.She woke up and sadly remembered that she had scores to settle with her poor, twenty-five-year-old husband, Tim Williams. “We are no more in the same league. I want to marry a real man and not a penniless and classless man,” she said to herself and angrily got up from her bed. “How can I meet a real man if I continue to be the wife of a scumbag?” she cursed. Likewise, she threw her duvet off her and tried to get out of bed but halted when the door opened. She glared at Tim who walked in to check on her. “It's time for work, Laura,” he informed her. “So, you know work but you can't get one for yourself? You wretched pauper," she glared at him and yelled. Tim smiled softly and gave his regular response, “I will work when the time comes.” His lais

The Broadcast — At The House After the security team and Laura left for the hospital, Tim dabbed his swollen eyes, shrugged his shoulders, and began to eat. He was about to leave the dining table when he saw the news on the television: (Laura Dickson-Williams was beaten up by her lazy husband, Tim Williams, for getting a job for him and she suffered a miscarriage.) “Oh! When did I beat her?” He exclaimed and ran his hand through his head which was spinning already. Likewise, he stared vacantly in amazement. Now, he reminisced about his past. Since he escaped from his jealous superior, Gen. Sydney McDonald who wanted to kill him because he defeated their enemies during the last war, he had been hiding. His higher-ups thought that he was dead and promoted his jealous superior to the rank of a General. In addition to that, he became the Chairman of the Auxiliary Armory PLC and Laura's boss. Now, the publicity had aroused their curiosity. “Does she hate me this much? Has she forg

In the spur-of-the-moment, Laura, her parents, and the Human Rights Activists ran out of the house and met her astounded security men. The pressmen were still hiding their heads and could not explain how the soldiers left. “What is the matter? I heard gunshots,” Laura asked curiously and looked at the military helicopter that had taken off. “They shot him,” a pressman raised his head and answered. “Oh, my God! I am unaware that they would arrive so soon and pick him up,” Laura boasted. Now, the pressmen were getting up one after the other and had to give an account of what they did not witness, even if it meant cooking up stories. “They have killed him. The Head of State has zero tolerance for domestic violence.” “Yes. Violence against women, especially pregnant women, angers him,” a reporter confirmed. “It serves him right,” her father pointed out and his befuddled wife lurched forward and castigated him, “Oh, dear! He died a painful and shameful death.” “Yes. Our daughter g

“You don't deserve it but I would rather not be like you. There will be no difference between us if I cause your children and wife to mourn. On this note, I reduce your punishment to compulsory retirement. You will get all your entitlements.”“Wonderful!”“Excellent!” “This is godly.”“I don't know if I can forgive a known enemy like this.”The soldiers complimented Tim's judgment one after the other. Likewise, Gen. McDonald was most grateful and he dried the tears that had formed in his eyes while everyone focused on him. Although he was seventeen years older than Tim he was aware that his promotion had nothing to do with age but merit.“You are a worthy comrade, Gen. Williams and you surpass me in wisdom. For sparing me, I owe you my life. I'm ready to support you any time you need me,” he appreciated Tim and promised.The house clapped for him and immediately, he faced the Head of State and appreciated him, “Thank you, for this chance, Your Excellency.”He faced the entire house a

“That is good. Kindly go on,” the Head of State requested when he paused and he continued. “The enemies were no match for us and we chased after them. To my joy and Gen. McDonald's annoyance, none of them escaped. Although he showed delight, I never knew it was fake. Meanwhile, I and the other soldiers concentrated on reviving our wounded colleagues. Some were badly injured and died on the spot.”“So sad!” Gen. Hill exclaimed and Tim continued.“At that point, we had run out of drugs and needed to get the victims back to the city. On the road, I requested that we stop so that I could get some marine animals and ocean plants to revitalize our men. Gen. McDonald followed me and I did not suspect anything until he shot at me and I fell into the ocean.”“Oh, my goodness! Did you suffer all these just to save your country and fellow soldiers?”“Yes, Your Excellency.”“That is true patriotism,” Gen. Hill stated and requested, “Kindly go on.”“No. We will stop here today. He needs rest. Th

“Oh! Is that why you are worried? He deserves what he got,” she stated happily and his brother berated her, “How come you sound so happy when you just lost your husband today?”“He is no more my husband. We were divorced before his fortunate death.”“Oh, my God! Fortunate death? When did the death of a husband become fortunate?”“Yes. It is fortunate because he wanted to kill me. Could you believe that he beat me up this morning and I …” Gerald doubted and interrupted her, “Beat you up? How come?” To make him believe her, she began to sob, “Yes (sob, sob). He kicked my stomach (sob) and I suffered (sob, sob) a miscarriage. I lost your nephew (sob, sob).”Gerald was silent for a while and after digesting her story, he simply asked, “When is the burial? Samuel and I would like to be present and pay our tribute.”“Burial? Tribute? For what?” His father thundered from the background and Laura supported him.“Did you hear that? I don't think he deserves such an honor. Besides, the soldi

“Yes. We need an update on her health,” another person emphasized. Now, to retain his job, he had to think quickly, “Oh, I think you miscalculated. Mrs. Williams returned to the hospital last night. As you can see, we are going to work early because of that.”“Oh, my God! Did her condition worsen?”“Is she traumatized?” They asked in quick succession. To avoid giving the wrong answer or causing more delay, he smiled and responded, “She will respond to your questions when you see her.”“You're right.”“Kindly make way for us, or you may not see her this morning.”“You are right, Officer.” “Let's move to the clinic, comrades,” one of the reporters shouted to the rest and they moved. The officer walked back to the car and they moved too. However, they had lost some time. They got to the ornamental plants' shop and purchased an expensive flower and a male wristwatch from a nearby gift shop. Afterward, they left for the office.At The Auxiliary Armory PLCTo their shock, the pressmen we

At The Complex At lunch, Laura was not back, and Barbara took the initiative. She informed the Corporal of her intentions to be away for lunch and left. She returned at once with her packed food and ate in the cubicle. George and Bright met the General Manager in the elevator and informed him of the arrival of the machines."That is good to hear. I would love to see them. Or what do you think?""I planned to visit there after lunch. We can go together then," he declared.Now, the elevator door opened and they walked out."That is better," the General Manager said and they walked on.Soon, they were at the canteen. They had the meal happily and avoided discussing their proposed visit to the mining field. Their reasons were simple - to avoid luring the other managers from volunteering to come with them. Afterward, they returned to their offices and hoped to leave at 2 PM.Nevertheless, the exhausted Laura returned a few minutes before 2 PM. As for lunch, she was aware that she had miss

At Mount Olive "Kindly get your attorney, Young lady," the officer advised Laura."I was wrong, Officer. I shouldn't have missed my way," she declared, concealing her motive for visiting the palace.The officer pouted, gave her the statement paper, and said, "Write all you could remember about the incident here."Now, she was conscious of her office and afraid that she might be too late to work. She looked at the time and it was a few minutes before 9 AM.'Barbara would be happy to see me punished if I am late to work,' she lamented and began to write her statement quickly."I'm through, Officer," she showed her the statement and announced.She collected it, looked through it, and informed her, "The DPO is in a meeting. I will submit it to him after that."Instantly, she began to fidget and asked her, "Huh! When will that be? I should be in my office."She paid no heed to her question and simply said, "Kindly wait at the reception.""Hey! I'm in trouble," she exclaimed, got up and w

She saw herself walking into the palace and was covered with sweat immediately. The officer was calm and watching the television as well. She switched her look from the television to the officer. When she got to the point, she said, 'I'm in the wrong place,' she looked down and pursed her lips to suppress her nervousness.'Ella must have done this. The Duke does not know my house and could not have gotten my address,' she thought.The officer picked up her form and looked at it. Without any signs of anger, she said, "Your workplace on the form is different from what you said in the footage."'Why can't I get it right? Why can't I get what I want?' she asked herself in low spirits."Did you get my question?" The officer asked her when she failed to answer her."I apologize, officer. We can talk it over," she pleaded, hoping to bribe her.At Tim's House "Just calm down. Everything will be sorted out shortly," Tim advised Richard and they began to wait."Do you mind breakfast?"

At Richard's House "Hello, Boss," he picked up the call and greeted him."How did it go?""She was stained with blood and her face swollen," he explained.Tim was disoriented and asked him immediately, "Was she attacked?""I wouldn't know. She said that she should have known that my mistress and I wished to kill her. I don't know where all these remarks are coming from.""Relax. Okay?" Tim pacified him when he observed from his tone that he was about to break down."Just hang on until morning. I will inform Dale. He would look into the matter. I guess she fell out with her instructors.""I'm worried that she must be starving," he pointed out with concern."You are right. Where is she?""She has locked herself in the room and crying profusely.""Ha! She even needs first aid.""That's is my concern. Oh, my God!""She will be fine. Let's talk in the morning. Okay?""It's okay, Boss. I apologize for bothering you.""Think nothing about it. Good night.""Thank you for your concern. Good n

At Tim's House He was working in the basement when George returned and joined him. "Welcome back," he said after the salutations."Thank you, Boss. Savannah has sent their order.""Yes.""I hope there is no problem.""He said that South Coast wished to attack them through a smaller nation.""Ha! Have they not learned their lessons?""They will do that this time," he responded confidently.They worked until 6 PM and left for their rooms to get some rest before dinner. At The Dining Table Tim discovered that the meal was for three people and was surprised. He called Sheldon at once. When he arrived, he asked him about the owner of the third dish."The major is still around. I thought you were having dinner with him," he explained.He furrowed and looked at George who confirmed that he saw his car when he returned."I thought he had gone," he said and walked out of the parlor at once.He got to his office and was surprised to see a dejected Richard lost in thought. He was seeing him

At The Taxi Driver's HouseAfter he was settled, Michael assigned some soldiers to take him to Bournemouth to get his car. He was hearing for the first time that he was once admitted to the hospital. He walked in to appreciate them and was surprised to see Dr. Rochford."Did you come to see someone, Doctor?" He asked him after the greetings."No. This is my hospital. I was at the State House Hospital because of you.""Wow! I can't thank you enough.""You are welcome," he answered him.He gave him his car keys and watched him as he got in. He turned on his ignition and smiled when it could not come up. As a result of not using it for long, it had gathered moisture which led to corrosion. Also, the fuel had degraded.He got out of the car and said, "I will get a technician to look at it. The fuel needs to be siphoned out.""It is expected," Dr. Rochford explained.Afterward, the soldiers took him to his house and his family members were delighted to see him. However, his girlfriend had

At Mount Olive As the old man discussed with Duke Ephraim, he informed the Head of The Duke Council of his proposed wedding, and he was excited. He took over the leadership of the Council three years ago and was neither his friend nor enemy. He was at the installation ceremony but chose to be quiet especially when he was not recognized. Now, he had to be a good leader, and I initiated calling him.The old man frowned his face when his phone rang and he saw the caller. Ella noticed it and focused on him."Excuse me," he said and picked up the call."Hello, Duke Matthew. I am delighted to hear from you," he greeted him with a sad demeanor."Hello, Duke Oliver. How are you?" He inquired with genuine interest."I'm fine. And you?""I am good. I got your message.""That is good. Kindly inform my fellow Dukes.""I see. But I can't find the details in your message.""You are right. It is just information and not an invitation," he clarified.Presently, the Duke was at a loss. He did not wis

At The Complex Laura was not sure if the lady in the broadcast was Stephanie because she was rushing to work when she saw it. Due to her budget, she was without data subscriptions and could not watch it from her phone.Now, she saw the full video and was so disenchanted when she saw Stephanie smiling broadly. Not only that, she was answering her questions with joy. The reporter gave much publicity to her stay as the only woman who dared the cold and time to wait. "So, this is how they get husbands. They start by being nice. No wonder Ella became a Duchess immediately after the Duke was installed," she told herself and continued watching.To buttress her point, Bright's interview was not boosted like Stephanie's. Nevertheless, the security guards were enthralled."She stole the show," one of them announced and they laughed.The laughter provoked Laura and she resolved to be proactive and get her a husband for herself."Maj. Young is the Third in Command and the President. I will do w
