MELTED HIS FROZEN HEART OLIVIA'S REJJECTION 108
At the BarracksThe daily drilling of the young soldiers which Gen. Bailey looked forward to every morning took place at 6 am and lasted for one hour. As a matter of routine, he was in his studies reading through the dailies after his breakfast when he got the mail from Barrister Guidance. He quickly read through and was timorous. “Has Stephen gone nuts? How many women does he want to have at the same time?” The nonagenarian Patriarch asked while cold sweat formed on his forehead. He went through the mail again and discovered another serious point.“Accusing Arthur of using Nichole as a nanny is an insult that her children would not take. No wonder Denise was distraught during the meeting.”Then, he got a call at that point, and he looked at his phone, and, he discovered that the caller was Brown, Stephen's family head. He took a second look at the caller and vacillated between picking the call and ignoring it. Then a message came in.(Good morning, our Patriarch. If you are not too

Under the present circumstances, Stephen’s head could not process the information he got at the same time. From the stranger’s speech, he grasped that he was aware of the issue at hand. Then, he looked at the two elders and inquired.“Oscar’s wife?”Stephen, whose purpose of visiting his Patriarch was to find a solution to the river of problems which was drowning him, had just discovered another problem.“I don’t have anything to do with Oscar’s wife. I ….”His explanation, which the Patriarch and the Family Head thought were lies, aggravated his already bad case. The Patriarch, who did not deem it necessary to offer him a seat yet, rose from his couch with his military demeanor and the might of the Patriarch of the Bailey’s family and thundered. “I will not hesitate to throw you out of the barracks after the soldiers have court marshalled you if you think you can dance on our intelligence.”Now, Stephen was aware that he had screwed up and making excuses would cause him more troubles

At the Gate.That day, Lorene and Evelyn worked with enthusiasm and eagerly waited for lunch. They were too busy that their paths never crossed after they spoke in the morning. Now, Zoey had resumed and is standing in for Nichole. With the assistance of the janitor, the work at Nichole’s office was not tedious for her. At noon, Lorene left for her surprise appointment with the man that would make her the first lady of the Bailey’s family, without informing her friend.‘He would be surprise to see me,’ she fantasied, and parked at the gate and honked with the confidence that she was not going to be turned back anymore. Then, the Security Officer who had seen many of her types since the previous week walked up to her by himself.“Good day, ma’am. How may I help you?”She smiled at the new face she was seeing, who looked more matured than the security guard who embarrassed her the previous week. “I wish to see the Chairman,” she hinted confidently. Now, the Security Officer observed h

Mrs. Felix said when Lorene walked out of the Chairman’s office. To her surprise, she did not respond rather, she walked on like a disappointed child. The clerks noticed the same attitude. She got to the car park, got into the car and drove to the gate. She got off the car, picked her phone and drove away. The Security men were surprised to see a woman who was raging a few minutes ago walking solemnly to their office to pick her phone.‘What must have happened? Who is actually the Chairman of the Bailey International Conglomerates?’ She mulled over, and drove. Howbeit, she never considered putting a call across to Stephen, neither was she aware that she narrowly escaped the police arrest. Now, Denise had sent for the Security Officer who drove to the Admin Block after Lorene drove off.“You called me, boss.”“Yes. Why did you call the cop on that woman?”“I did not call the cop, they just came.”“How? What do you mean by they just came?" Denise asked, and furrowed his brow. Incidental

“I hope she is not angry with me for taking long in contacting her?”Now, he gave her a call for the second time. The phone rang several times, but she refused to pick.“She must have gone to sleep,” he concluded, and slept off too.At the Tourist Center.The Security Officer was happy with the changes he saw in Jude’s composure. His youthfulness radiated as he was constantly happy. The moist that usually gathered in his eyes whenever he wanted to speak was no longer there. He enjoyed making music with his piano than watching the television. When the Security Officer got to his room that afternoon for his lunch, he observed that he spoke freely with him; more like a relation than a stranger.“How is your day going, Jude?”He smiled and paused from the keyboard before responding.“My day is going on well, Sir. And you?”“Fine. Your lunch is here.”“Okay, thank you, Sir. How about the boss?”“The boss is good. He sent his love.”“Oh! I wish I will meet him soon.”“Yea! You will meet him

Denise paused and looked at her innocent face without responding, but she continued, “Are you still mad at me?”“Eat your food first.” Denise responded and kept feeding her. She took two more spoons and stopped and said in between sobs, “I am okay. Thank you.”Unfortunately, Denise lacked how to respond to the situation; he was angry with the woman that he must save her life.‘I have to concentrate on saving her life first. I can get angry later.’ He advised himself and smiled. He scooped the food and then urged her.“Sweetheart, I don’t think you are okay. Just take more spoons, and you will be okay.” Olivia saw it as an opportunity to strike a bargain with her husband, and she quickly asked, “Answer me. Are you still mad at me?”Denise smiled and asked her too, “Can I ever be mad at my beautiful Angel?”(Peck)She gave a dampened smile as she wiped the teardrops that tickled down her cheeks with the back of her hand. Denise, who was emotional at that point, dropped the plate and th

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
