I WILL NOT DO IT George's Residence. George was sitting in his living room with Tracy. His wound had just been attended to by his nurse, and she had just left. His hand had been removed from the bandages, but the wound was still clear, and the pain was still eminent, so it had to be attended to George was having a conversation with Tracy as to which house they were going to buy next. Tracy had been able to sell her house for a million dollars and was now living temporarily with George. They were planning on buying out a bigger home for Tracy so George could go over there every time he wished. In the middle of their discussion, George received a call. Glancing at the caller, he immediately picked it up. “ Good afternoon sir” the caller greeted. “ Good afternoon ma'am, any good news?” George asked “ Yes, there is. Your father is awake now, and he wants to see you” the caller said. “ What?!....” George screamed for joy. “ I am on my way right now. I will be there in a mo
AS THE SAYING GOES ...George was very angry with what his father said.“ Calm down, babe, please, this is not the time to quarrel with your father.At least, wait until he has fully recovered” Tracy said,trying to calm george down“ George…” Mr Daniel called out.George did not respond. Instead, he looked at his father with disdain in his eyes.He wore an angry face and was already losing it.“ Tracy… can you… you excuse us for a moment, please?” Mr Daniel said.Tracy looked at George and then at Mr Daniel.George did not say anything but just nodded to Tracy.Tracy understood the nod and walked out of the room.George was left alone in the room with his father.“ Son… I know it is hard…I know… it is hard for you… we fought for everything together… and you know that it is hard… for you…. But you know that it was not… not rightfully ours…I have messed up big time and … and i do not want you to follow… follow up on my path.Give everyth
THE ANSWERGeorge and Tracy got home.Tracy was still trying to see if he would be able to talk to George but had not been giving him the attention.George walked into the living room and sank into a couch.He heaved a sigh and held his arm.He was feeling some minor pains in the arm as a result of the sudden movements due to anger.Just as he sat down.His phone rang.He took out his phone from his pocket with a mean face, ready to vent his anger on whoever was calling him.“ He looked at the caller, and it was the nurse again.He answered the call reluctantly.“ What do you want?” George said meanly.“ Sorry sir, it's about your father. '' The nurse replied from the other end, her voice a little shaky.George did not notice the shaky voice because he was too angry to do so.“ To hell with him. I don't care whatever happens to him.Let him die for all I care.Now, don't you ever call me again about my father. Just take care of him and do your job, I will come see hi
THE RESURFACE OF THE OLD FRIENDJack and Jane got home.Thy were both in the kitchen operating dinner, while the tv in the living room was left on.They were hoping to hear the situation of the mayor after his arrest and its pertaining issues.Luckily, the kitchen was not too far from the living room where the TV was, so they could hear any sound from the TV.As they cooked, they discussed about the current issues in the factory and company and how they were going to tackle it as a team.Although Jane was only a ‘worker’ for Jack, Jack was fond of using the pronoun ‘we’ whenever he was talking.One would think the company belonged to the two of them.As they spoke, Jane remunerated something and asked Jack about it.“ Talking of the factory, how is it going with your cousin?” Jane asked.Jack shrugged and sighed.“ I haven't heard any information from their camp in a while, except that the man is back from the coma, and his son had gone to see him.That was about two hours ago, but I
WHO IS YOUR GIRLFRIEND??“ Aiden??. Aiden!! Where on earth have you been?I have not heard from you since you left school that day, whatsup with you?” Jack asked happily.The phone was on a loudspeaker, and Jane could hear the conversation.Jane noticed the sudden change in mood when Jack heard the name of the caller.“ Maybe he is someone very close to him” Jane thought as he looked at Jack, who seemed happy all of a sudden. “ Man, I just surfaced a few days ago.What is going on with you?I learnt you are no longer in charge of your father's properties. What is really going on?” Aiden asked from the other end.Jack heaved a sigh.“ I have been around bro, it is a very long story, for another day, and you, what's up, what have you been doing” Jack asked.“ Well, you know my old man passed away, and I left to get my things in order.I am okay now, where are you? I want us to meet sometime later and have a boy's talk, how about that?” Aiden asked.“ I am okay, with that, this evenin
THE TRUTH REVEALEDGeorge held the piece of paper in his hand as he stood in the hallway, thinking of what to do next.He knew Tracy was standing right behind him, but she did not know the contents of the paper yet.He quickly rushed out and came to the entrance of the hospital,The car he left there was no longer there.Before he could say anything, he saw the driver coming towards him with the car’s key in his hand.“ Where is the Goddamn car?” George said as he took the key from him hurriedly.He pressed the remote, and the car beeped, revealing its location, not far from where he stood“ And now listen.You all get home, and no one follows me” George shouted the orders as he ran and got into the car, driving at top speed out of the hospital premises.He set off on the road and took the one heading to his father’s apartment in the estate.+He drove like crazy, without thinking of what to do.All he wanted was to know the ‘truth’ his father was talking about.From the note he had rea
A TIME FOR DECISION Alfred was in the living room as usual, gaming on the large screen.So far, he had been enjoying his stay to the fullest, except for the fact that he had been able to speak to his father and was beginning to get worried.He was playing his game as usual when he received a call from his father.He stared at the phone screen for a long while before answering the call.“ Watch the news. I am on my way home, we need to talk, '' Mr Enzo said on the phone.Alfred did not have time to ask what was going on before their call was cut.He heaved a sigh and reluctantly changed the gaming to the news.The first news that was being broadcast on the station caught his attention“ MR DANIEL MCALLISTER CONFIRMED DEAD” The news caught him at a glance.He saw the footage of the dead body of Mr Daniel being wheeled into the mortuary.In the background, He saw George with a paper in his hand and Tracy by his side.He then listened to the voiceover of the news bein
A STRATEGIC PLANGeorge drove straight home with his thoughts filled up.He did not know what he was going to do to curb the current situation.He knew that sooner or later, Jack was going to come and fight for his belongings.Now that his father was no more, he had to take things into his own hands and handle them carefully so he could get away with them.He knew very well that the companies were going to get out of hand if care was not taken, and that was going to result in him losing everything overnight. What he needed now was a way he was going to have everything to himself and prevent the companies from collapsing.There was no way he could keep it alive, and there was no way he could manage.At that particular point, he needed to know the current situation of the companies and the current worth of the family he was managing.Surprisingly, he was now the only family at the moment, and he now had the family properties to himself.Only that he had younger brothers who were not in
