"Well. Let us leave that aside now. Aren't you happy to see your son?" Michael asked smiling at Taylor. Taylor and Rose looked at themselves and smiled back at Michael, then Rose walked away. Taylor checked Curtis's body all over; his eyeballs, tongue, hands, legs, and head to be sure that everything was well with Curtis."Did the Doctor say that he is now fine?" Taylor asked. "Check him. There's nothing wrong with him. Curtis is doing very fine," Michael said. Rose stood in a corner where Taylor could not see her eyeing Michael. She was so furious with Michael but she tried as much as possible to control herself so that she wouldn't burst out in front of Taylor.Even though Taylor still wondered how Michael was able to bring Curtis from the hospital, he decided not to talk any further about it, but he bottled up his feelings and interacted well with Michael. Taylor planned to call the Doctor, as soon as Michael left, and ask how the hospital would make such a costly error. After Mi
"I'm Mr Phillip Johnson's eldest brother. I was able to get your phone number by chance. I'm calling because we need to see urgently. Something is bothering the Johnson family which we need to talk about," Mr Smith told Pa Drakes over the phone."Isn't it something we can say over the phone, because I have such a busy schedule," Pa Drakes said. Even though he was mature and elderly, he had earmarked assignments for each day. He usually attended to things according to their order of priorities. "No, it's not something we can talk about over the phone. Please, I will need to see you. I promise not to spend much of your time," Mr Smith promised."Alright, then. The only time we can see is on Saturday evening," Pa Drakes said."That's alright by me. So where can we see on Saturday?" Mr Smith asked. "I'll just send the address to you when we are done speaking," Pa Drakes promised. "Okay. I will be expecting it." Mr Smith said as he hung up on the phone. Not too long after they were done
As soon as Michael left Taylor's house that fateful day, Rose began to be afraid of him. "What if he ends up taking his child away from me, or exposing what was done to him?" Rose thought to herself. She believed that if Michael had the guts to release Curtis from the hospital and bring him down to their house, not minding what Taylor could think, then he could just do anything more. So as soon as Michael left their house, Rose went to a quiet place to call him. She wasn't ready to wait until Michael arrived home, especially now that she was full of so much anxiety. She dialled Michael's phone number and waited for him to pick it up, which he did almost immediately. "Hello, Rose," Michael said as soon as he picked up the call. He was surprised to see her call since he left their house a few minutes ago. "Hello, Mike. I have something very important to tell you, that's why I'm calling," Rose said."Okay. Go on I'm listening," Michael responded. He had to park his car somewhere to
Pa Drakes and Jakes decided to see their lawyer about the new development. Pa Drakes had told Jakes about Mr Smith's visit during the weekend, and the both of them decided to speak with the lawyer about it. So they both fixed a meeting with the lawyer and agreed on what to do concerning Mr Smith's request. Jakes was back home after a very hectic day. As soon as he walked into the sitting room, he noticed Stephanie at the dining eating. "Hi, dear." Jakes greeted his wife. "Hi. How was work today?" Stephanie asked. "Work was hectic," Jakes replied as he sat on one of the sofas in the sitting room facing Stephanie's direction. "Guess what, dear. I and Pa Drakes have finally been able to speak with the lawyer about Mr Smith's request," Jakes informed his wife. "Oh, good. So how did it go?" Stephanie asked eager to hear what her husband would say next."Well, it was good for my Uncle and the Johnson family. We have agreed that one of the companies be transferred to Mr Smith and the famil
It was a beautiful Tuesday evening. Bob and Dylan came home from work looking very tired. They worked at an engineering company which was twenty minutes' driving distance away from their house. On getting home, they met the whole house quietly. It was obvious that their Mum wasn't around, so they walked into the kitchen to get some food for themselves. After dishing their food into their plates, they heard the rickety sound of the sitting room door."How are you guys?" Mrs Louis said as she walked into the sitting room. She was sure that they were around, because of their shoes which she saw at the entrance of the sitting room. "Fine, Mum," Bob and Dylan responded as they dropped their plates on the dining table and walked into the sitting room to meet with their Mum. "You're welcome," Bob told Mrs Louis as they watched her sit on one of the sofas in the sitting room. "You guys are looking so stressed," Mrs Louis remarked as she watched her two sons. "Oh, yes Mum. We have made up o
"Taylor, can you imagine the pressure your wife put on the hospital staff, by lying to them that you both had not seen Curtis, since the day I took him from the hospital?" Michael told Taylor as soon as he saw him. Taylor did not utter a word, instead, he continued to stare at Michael in disbelief. He didn't expect Michael to go this far in talking ill about his wife and exposing her to hospital staff."Well, I think you shouldn't get involved in this. We did what we did for a reason. That hospital deserves it. Why will they release Curtis to you, when they are not sure of your relationship with his family? No, I didn't expect you to be involved in this. We planned to teach them a lesson before declaring that Curtis is with us," Taylor told Michael."I understand. But I told them who I am to your family..." "But, that's not enough. That's not enough for them to release him! Anyone could do what you did," Taylor interrupted Michael, then he moved close to the Nurse and spoke at the to
Michael was in his car one Sunday afternoon about to drive out from his compound when he remembered that he had to call someone, so he picked up his phone and dialled a number. "Tell me the latest about your work on Cecilia Brooks," Michael asked the person he called. "One of her children is here with us, and we have threatened the father of the child to influence his wife in resigning from " The Class of Verity" if they want the child to be released, or else they would court more trouble," the male voice said."Good job. Just make sure you keep me informed from time to time," Michael said. "Alright, Boss. I will," the male voice replied.Michael had not relented on his plans against "The Class of Verity". He was ready to see to it that nothing worked in the company so that he could get back at his father for disowning and hating him.The next day was a Monday morning. Michael prepared to go to work as usual and within a short time, he was set. He was known for his punctuality at Spir
Mr and Mrs Allison were seated together in their car and were on their way to see a friend when Mr Allison heard his phone ring so he picked it up. "Hello, Sir. The board will be seating to elect a new CEO tomorrow morning," the voice said. "And why is that? What about?..." "She has resigned from her job from 'The Class of Verity'. She reported that her child was kidnapped, and the kidnapper threatened her to resign if he must release the child to her and her spouse," the male voice said. "But...ahhh...this is getting unbearable," Mr Allison said. He was short of words and didn't know what to say. Within a short time in 'The Class of Verity', two CEOs have been killed; now the current CEO was being threatened to resign. "Alright, I'll talk to you later," Mr Allison said as he hung up on the phone."What's the matter, dear?" Mrs Allison asked her husband when she noticed his countenance, but Mr Allison ignored her; he seemed to be lost in his thoughts. "Tell me. What is it?" Mrs Alli
