On a crisp morning, Jamole had sent a memo across all his staff for a compulsory staffers and stakeholders meeting. Everyone had gathered in the board room and he stared across to see that some staffers were missing. Roger, Andre and Stella were not in the room. He had received information about Stella’s delivery of the twins, and he couldn’t wait to see her ruin in her pain.He could see Jade and how busy he was with his job of putting the hall in order and discarding the trash.Just then a figure appeared at the door. All eyes fell upon Roger whose face held a mountain of frown. In his hands were a pile of files and a briefcase. After tossing his head in pity, he walked majestically to Jamole and stretched an envelope to him.“That is my resignation letter. I have applied for my trust fund which is about five million dollars. Please I would want to get that money as soon as possible. That is part of my salary which the company has saved.”Jamole chuckled and replied, him, “Good ridd
“I don’t want to set my eyes on those twin babies. They don’t belong to me and I don’t want to have anything to do with them. This is not the kind of life I planned for myself. How can a miserable worthless impostor barge into my life, get it ruined and disappear out of sight. How did I get to this dilemma…how…oh…Lord!” Stella wailed and stamped her palm on the bed.Zara was carrying one of the twins, doing her best to lull the infant to sleep since Stella has refused to breastfeed them.Vivian cuddled the other baby and struggled to pet the suckling. She knew they were famished which was the reason for their wailing. But Stella wouldn’t want to breastfeed her babies. Ever since they got back from the hospital, she had avoided the twins.Kennedy yelled at Stella, because the twins were wailing noisily now and he couldn’t tolerate it anymore, “It is today that I confirmed your wickedness. You are heartless and deserve not to dwell among humans. When you were busy frolicking with Ander
The repeated wailing of siren could be heard from a distance, as onlookers murmured over the incident of suicide by Andre.The neighborhood was held stampede and residents couldn’t fathom why a vibrant young man like Andre would end it all.When the ambulance officially arrived, they made into his flat and brought out his corpse. Already before now Jade had taken the written note which he intended to show Jamole. All the while Jade had been lurking around, wondering if Andre was still was alive. He wa expecting confirmation from the medical officials who were already administering oxygen to Andre.After what seemed to be a battle between life and death, the latter struck. Jade could see the officials tossing their heads in loss and misery.“It is late. He is dead,” one of the officials stated and covered Andre’s corpse with white linen before conveying it into the ambulance.Whereas heavy chattering and murmuring hung over the crowd, Jade kept exclaiming and groaning in loss. He could
The convoy of exotic cars screeched to a stop and the well-suited security officers alighted. Already, Jamole had caught sight of Stella who was standing at the entrance to the elevator and he perceived she had come to seek his forgiveness.“Boss, are you expecting her?” one of his security officers queried and focused his attention on Stella.Jamole grinned from ear to ear and replied, “That is my ex-wife, Stella, hmm I could barely recognize her, she has lost pounds and her facials had darkened like scarlet, and why is she not carrying her twin babies?”“I guess it is because of her visit,” the security officer replied and opened the door once Jamole gestured at him to do so.Upon seeing Jamole, Stella fell on her knees and waited for him to get closer. Promptly, warm tears smeared her cheeks. All that she did to Jamole replayed in her thought and her conscinec couldn’t stop pricking her.She had come for Jamole and like her pals had rightly said, her ex-husband whose soft spot she
Once Jamole rang a bell on his desk, the door opened to Charles, the manager of Swan Airline. “Hey, Charles, don’t tell me you have been on the queue of clients who have come to see me.”Charles bowed, “Boss, greetings to you,” he said and walked forward to have seat, “I must go by the rules regardless of our relationship. We live by example.”Jamole rolled around in his swivel chair and offered Charles a hot coffee, “So to what do I owe this visit? Is it connected to my Swan Airline?”Charles grinned, snorted and tossed his head in pity.Jamole’s gaze narrowed at him and despite hounding Charles with questions, he hesitated to give a reply. It was obvious tragedy had struck.“Boss, it is about Anderson,” Charles finally spoke and tossed his head more pitiably, “Anderson is in need of urgent help, boss. When I saw Anderson with my eyes, I wailed for him and resorted to seek your assistance.”With his frown held, Jamole queried, “What is wrong with Anderson? The last time I saw him, he
For a time that seemed eternal, Kennedy stood staring thoughtfully at the letter which was handed over to him by the manager of Antipolo Airport.“Excuse me, sir. I have been a staff of this airport for ten years now and there has never been a day it was recorded that I misbehaved or exempted from duty. I have shown reserved dedication to my job and kept the policies of the organization. Please sir, may I know what I did to deserve this sack?” Kennedy queried softly.The airport manager, a chubby Indian whose face rarely smiled, tossed his head and replied Kennedy, “Everyday we wake up to new policies and advancement. Antipolo Airport has been privatized and Swan Group has bought more than ninety percent of its shares. Right now we are at the mercy of Jamole Cadry, the CEO of Swan Group.”?Kenndy raised a thick brow, “Jamole Cadry? I know Jamole Cardry. He is the ex-husband to my girlfriend, Stella and he knows me too.”The Indian shot a knitted brow at Kennedy to believe he was bluf
Stella sat at the back seat with the twin babies in her hold while the taxi drove across the road until it sped into the slums in Antipolo. She had gotten the actual address of Anderson and decided to return the twin babies to him.Soon the taxi drove with the direction of the address which Stella had and when they got confused they paused to ask a resident.“Hey, please where does Anderson Peters live?” Stella asked.“Anderson Peters? Oh you mean the alcoholic and gambler?” the young man described precisely.And Stella scowled her face because she was hurt by those descriptions of Anderson, a man that would be father to these twins.“You may have to drive a little more. After the last palm tree, the thatched house by your left is his. I can see you are his wife or baby mama. Which are you? Are these his twin babies?” the young man queried anxiously.“None of your business!” Stella boomed, “Drive on,” she commanded the driver.To her dismay, the taxi stopped at the thatched house and
Heavy voices of excited men and ladies hung hugely over Jamole’s house. Today was the 24th birth day party of his adorable wife, Stella Pitcher and although she had hinted him about it a few nights ago, yet he was still lost in his gloom due to what she demanded for a birthday gift.Nights on end Jamole had been nagged by countless nightmares over thought of meeting her demand. He barely could provide a proper square meal for Stella so he wondered what would inspire his elegant wife to demand for an Arabic Coral Gold Ring.He didn’t know the worth of the gold ring but with the few celebrities he had seen donning it, he knew it wasn’t a piece of cake.With his oversized shoes which had its sole gaping at the ceiling and his I-was-white T-shirt over bottom-patched pants, he was all ready for work but without the audacity to go to his wife in the sitting room to demand for ten dollar which was his transport fare to work.The merriment continued in a very thumping manner and they were abo
