Now, Brown was at the barracks at 7 am because of the meeting. As the head of his family, he knew what to expect from the other family heads, but he was prepared for them.“Good morning to you, our Patriarch.”“Good morning, Brown. How are you?”“As you can see, I am good. What about you?”“I could not catch a sleep last night because of today’s meeting.”“It is expected. We cannot run away from our responsibilities.”“You are right. If those ahead of us had run away from theirs, who knows where we would have been by now.”“You are right.”Then, the scumbag, Stephen, walked in and greeted, “Good morning, our Patriarch. Good morning, my family head.”The two elders looked at him searchingly. They did not bother to respond to his greeting nor glimpse at him. The Patriarch ordered without looking at his face.“Wait in the hall.”“Thank you, our Patriarch,” The momentarily repentant Stephen said, and walked to the hall in the courtyard and took his seat. He watched the family heads trickl

The facinorous and pretentious Stephen paused and looked at the lawyer to read his countenance, but it was unreadable. Then he proceeded and feigned a sob.“Please, I am pleading, join me to plead with Arthur not to exact vengeance on me. You can see my dilemma. I know I have erred, but, let him spare me this time. I promise I will not be incautious again.”Now, some family heads believed him and had compassion on him, while some refused to take his apology that was not good enough for them, as they turned up their noses at him. Then, the family head of Oscar, who was not happy with how he abducted Zoey, felt it was time to strike, and spoke.“Stephen, you promised you will not be incautious again; incautious over what? Is it the kidnapping of our wives or attempting to sow seeds of discordance in our families?”Such an incisive speech dug up Stephen's iniquities, which the family heads were about to forget. They became infuriated and shouted on top of their voices.“We will not plead

He asked anxiously. Zoey, who was breathing heavily, could only summarize her complaint with a sentence.“She attacked me, I pushed her away to defend myself, and she slumped.”Dr. Caesar, who was about settling down for the day’s job, was as confused as a chameleon. He gave her a perplexed look while she stood in front of his desk waiting for his response. Then he managed to ask.“Who is ‘she’?”Then, it occurred to Zoey that the Superior was not aware of the incident before she gave a detailed explanation of the incident. Dr. Caesar gave her a cursory response as though nothing happened while he concentrated on his work.“Go back to your office and continue with your work.”When Nichole addressed Lorene and Evelyn as hawks and poachers, she had her reasons. They have attempted ceaselessly to poach the superior away from his wife, but failed. When he dismissed Zoey and concentrated on his work, he felt that Lorene deserved what she got. She returned to Nichole’s office and met a tidy

He may not be able to resolve other issues in his life, but Cassandra would not add to his problem. Then, he called the Personnel Manager at once. He picked and greeted.“Good day, boss. How may I help you?”“Good day. Transfer Eric to my office and send Cassandra to take over from Eric with immediate effect.”“It is noted, boss.”(Cut)At Stephen’s ApartmentAfter the meeting with the Patriarch and the family heads, he boarded a taxi to Lorene’s house, which was at the Barrack’s Road. To his chagrin, she was not at home. He looked at the time, it was 1:30 pm.“Where could she be? I know that she is on AM Shift.”Now, he rested his head on her door for a few seconds before he gave her a call again, but as usual, she did not pick. With a heavy heart, he left for his house. Then, he sent a message to the barrister requesting that he would make the check for the compensation available.“You are free. I will be in my office by 3 pm.”“All right. See you.”At 2:30 pm, he boarded a taxi to

Wednesday – At the Government Hospital, The Superior could not reach out to Evelyn after trying her number several times the previous day. Lorene, who would have furnished him with the information of her whereabouts, was still in danger. So, he had fewer hands as three of his staff members were off-duty. That day, he had to adjust his roaster to be able to have more hands. Then, Zoey had resumed for the day and was shuttling between her office and Nichole’s. The janitor, who believed that she was assisting Nichole, was of great assistance. “Thank you. What is your name?”Zoey asked the janitor, whom she had taken delight in after working with her for two days.“My name is Rachael Justin, Mrs. Bailey.”“What a nice name? You have been very helpful. Thank you.”“That is the least I can do to cover up for Mrs. Bailey.”“Oh! That is good. I will visit the emergency later to see Lorene.”Rachael, the twenty-year-old janitor, pushed her bottom lip forward in disdain and asked, “Do you rea
