He feared for his future🪢

She seized her moment for an orgasm💧

She cared only about her fountains🌊 "

|Mrs ADESOJI VISITS THE NEC CHAIRMAN AT HIS RESIDENCE|

MR ADETOLA

It is nothing but a huge privilege to have the elegant Mrs Adesoji at my residence.

(He offers her a seat)

Mrs ADESOJI

(She sits down)

Good morning, Chairman

How is the family?

MR ADETOLA

They are all doing well my wife alongside my two daughters flew overseas few days ago for a little vacation

(He puts on a face expression to appear convincing$

Mrs ADESOJI

"Though it was no news to Mrs Adesoji that it was a procedure to ensure the safety of his family during the elections."

So you are all alone?

(she put on a pretentious facial expression indicating that she took him for his words)

MR ADETOLA

Yes, I am alone I couldn't join them because of my duty as The National Electoral Council Chairman; so how can I be of help to you Ma? Because I am quite certain that a being as practical as you can never leave her territory for another just to inquire about basic information

Mrs ADESOJI

The truth you've spoken my friend

(She drops a cheque of Thirty Million Dollars in front of Mr Adetola)

MR ADETOLA

I will be playing myself if I derive my intelligence of the ability to comprehend your intentions but we both know I belong to The Baloguns and I owe them my life, career and loyalty so forgive me if I deprive myself of this kind gesture

(He pushes the cheque towards Mrs Adesoji)

Mrs ADESOJI

It seems my rivals got to you before I thought of the idea nevertheless, I will Tripple whatever The Balogun's offered you for your dignity.

MR ADETOLA

No amount of money can buy my loyalty to The Balogun's. My dignity is in the hands of the best at the game.

Mrs ADESOJI

The Baloguns may  be very influential but we both know The Adesojis are not any less powerful!

MR ADETOLA

Then why are you here, why are you being oppressed by your insecurities? Prove to me that you are as influential and powerful as The Balogun's then perhaps I will plead my allegiance to you.

(He rests his back on his leather office chair)

Mrs ADESOJI

(Appears pissed up)

I apologize in advance for this it was never my intention for things to get this intense between us but I'm glad I took some safety precautions to ensure your corporation.

(She asks one of her bodyguards to give Mr Adetola a live video of his family)

MR ADETOLA

(He is filled with fear)

Ahh, Iyawo are you okay?

"Daddy, please help us, one of Mr Adetola's  Children pleaded in tears"

Don't worry I will resolve this just relax

(His hands trembled in fear)

Mrs ADESOJI

You know what to do Chairman I think my request is clear enough.

MR ADETOLA

(He gets frustrated and grabs Mrs Adesojis neck in anger)

You animal!!!

"One of Mrs Adesoji's bodyguard pulls him away from her."

"E be like you nor dey fear for your life comot your hand for my madam body, another bodyguard said as he points his gun at Mr Adetola"

MR ADETOLA

(He falls on his knees in tears)

I'm sorry please spare my life and that of my family.

Mrs ADESOJI

(She gets pissed)

Kill the youngest!!!

MR ADESOJI

No oh no

Please don't!

(He pleads in tears as he heard the sound of a gunshot from the phone)

Mrs ADESOJI

I guess this will motivate you to rethink your choices Making any further decisions that doesn't benefit me and my household, will cost you another family member. You've got just one daughter now so use your head!

(She walks out of the room.

Her bodyguards follow suit)

|CHIEF BALIGUNS OFFICE AT FESTAC GROUPS|

HON J BOLA

Chief, how do we resolve this? this scandal is spreading like wildfire.

Dr AKANDE

It's on every newspaper, magazine and blog it's only a matter of time before The party reacts to this and they are high chances that it could cost your son his candidacy; we all know this is not good for public image. We have to act fast and smart.

CHIEF BALOGUN

Mrs Adesoji played a huge part in making sure this comes out but we are going to beat her at her game I learnt her children will be flying in today I have instructed my men to do the needful.

HON J BOLA

But Chief, don't you think that will be too obvious? I was hoping we will do something that doesn't involve her directly; we can reach out to the Chairman again to reassure us again and maybe wet his hands with little perks and incentives.

CHIEF

This is Mrs Adesoji I know how she thinks she's too smart to leave out the most important part of the puzzle. She has reached out to him there is no point in going to him. For her to do this to my son, then she's too cunning to put all our hopes on The NEC Chairman. Our focus should be on The Adesoji's once we can weaken her, then Mr Adetola will be a piece of cake.

Dr AKANDE

You are right brother; so what do you plan on doing with her daughter?

CHIEF BALOGUN

Leave that to me the less you know the better.

BELLA

(Chief Baloguns Secretary walks in)

Chief, you have a visitor.

CHIEF BALOGUN

Who is that?

BELLA

The Party Chairman.

CHIEF BALOGUN

Send him in!

HON J BOLA

Chief,  what do we do? The Chairman won't like this new development.

CHIEF BALOGUN

Absolutely nothing!

MR EDOCHIE

(The NNC Chairman walks into the office)

Good Morning Chief Balogun, Mr Edochie Greeted

CHIEF BALOGUN

What brings The Great Edochie to my office this morning?

(He offers Mr Edochie a glass of whisk)

MR EDOCHIE

I'm glad The Chief Justice of the Nation as well as The minister of Health is present here so I wouldn't beat around the bush. I am certain that we have all seen the news, therefore, the dominance of your son's carelessness can never be overemphasized. Everyone on the table is worried and skeptical about the influence this will have on the elections. The party is worried and the influence this will have on the party and the Table too.

CHIEF BALOGUN

I appreciate you coming here to inform me of this but I want everyone on the table and party including the three of you here to worry not. It is an insult to my reputation to feel your minds with doubts about what I can and cannot do. Never have I failed the table, I formed the table, I gave you all power in your names, I placed you in high places where your feet can't touch the ground, the least I demand from you all is to trust me to handle this.

MR EDOCHIE

I apologize chief, I do not mean to question your supremacy.

I will talk to the others party members and ask them to worry less we trust you chief but we just can't say the same for your son. He is making things difficult for us.

CHIEF BALOGUN

I understand your concerns but I'm asking you all to let me handle the situation at hand. Akande, I want you to talk to the rest of The Table members and keep them calm, Edochie, Handle the party members and tell them I have everything under control, Bola, I want you to cover my tracks in case things get too serious and Mrs, Adesoji decide to take matters to court. We must be prepared for any possible outcome, over my dead body will I live to watch my enemy dominate Lagos!

"Temi walkings into The Emergency ward in a hurry to meet up with time"

Dr RAPHAEL

Good Morning, Dr Temi. Are you okay? You look like who is being chased by the devil.

(He teased)

TEMI

Good Morning, hope I'm not late, has Dr Yemi arrived?

Dr HENRY

Relax, Dr Temi.

Dr Yemi mostly comes in mid-afternoon you were just unlucky he got here before you the other day, Dr

TEMI

Thank you, Jesus!

(She places both hands on her chest in sign of relief)

Dr RAPHAEL

Though there is a small problem, your patient's test results weren't what we expected, it appears she has a tumour.

TEMI

It's in her head right?

(She appears so sure of her diagnosis)

Dr PASCAL

Wow, you guessed right how did you know?

TEMI

Her symptoms says it all.

which was why I add those other tests to be sure about it.

Dr MABEL

Wow, that is incredible!

Dr Yemi will be glad to hear about this.

TEMI

Thank you, Dr Mabel, so where is she now?

Dr PASCAL

She was supposed to be moved to The Oncology Ward later today for surgery and other treatment but for some reason, Michael took her home.

TEMI

What! Why would he do that? That little girl needs treatment as soon as possible she wouldn't last another year if we don't do something about this!

(She appears furious)

Dr HENRY

Well, we did our best to stop him but he insisted they leave. This is a hospital Temi, we can't hold people, hostage. We can only keep them at will.

TEMI

Even so, you guys should have done something or even inform me!

She's my patient I have the right to know about things like this.

Dr MABEL

I would advise you to calm down Dr Temi, we are paid to attend to emergency health needs. It's  The Emergency Ward for a reason.

TEMI

I know Dr Mabel,  and I get it but I just can't worry and feel bothered about this. Any idea where I can find Michael right now?

Dr MABEL

I don't think his back.

Dr PASCAL

Oh no, I saw him a while ago before you came in check the third room on your left.

TEMJ

Thank you, Dr Pascal.

(She walks out of the room.

Dr PASCAL

(He noticed they all gazed at him angrily)

What guys?

Dr HENRY

We have eyes we intentionally decided to say he wasn't around just to avoid complicating the issue!

Dr PASCAL

How would I have known that was it? Don't blame me, you guys did not inform me about that!

_____________________________________

"Temi Approaches Micheal"

TEMI

(She walks into the room)

Michael, why would you have Awelle discharged after finding out how critical her condition is?

MICHEAL

Dr Temi, with all due respect, I think the decision I make for my child is non of your business.

(He turns to leave the room)

TEMI

(She stands in front of him)

It's my business, that child won't last another year if she's not medically attended to.

MICHEAL

(At the top of his voice)

Do you think I don't know that? You think I wouldn't keep her here if I could? My house rent needs to be renewed, Onyinye just gained admission into the university I haven't even been able to pay her acceptance fee, my mom's medication finished a week ago Thank God I could get part of it today. Who is going to give me two million Naira for Awelle's surgery and medical care? Even if I work my whole life to get that, she would be long gone by then. Not everyone has it easy like you!

(He walks out of the room in frustration)

TEMI

Michael!

(She calls out to him as she runs after him)

MICHEAL

What is it Temi? I know I'm a bad father, I know I have failed as a father you do not have to rub that on my face.

TEMI

No, that is not it Michael I'm sorry I never thought of it this way I apologize.

MICHEAL

It's fine I'm sorry I have to leave now; I still have a lot of work to do!

(He walks away)

KELVIN

I'm gonna give you some dirty love, all I ask of you is that dirty look.

(He slowly frees her from her pant)

ENIOLA

My wishes are dirty but I hope you don't judge me. I'm just a bird who wants to spread her wings.

All I ask is that you satisfy my desires.

(She pushes his head down her belly button. Kelvin slowly places some ice cubes on her clit as he buries his tongue in between them)

KELVIN

I doubt that you could be away from me for a day. I know you see my fingers in you whenever you close your eyes

(He runs his right fingers up and down her chest)

ENIOLA

My body may be catching up to your touches but I chose to put under subjection my body for time is of the essence and no matter how dirty I want to be right now, I fear my Grandfather more than I fear the consequences of your semen in my body. Please leave and make sure nobody sees you!

KELVIN

Alright I'm leaving now I will see you soon.

(He waters her lips with kisses)

ENIOLA

Just go, Kelvin. I have to do other things

_____________________________________

Dr YEMI

What was that all about?

TEMI

She's running against my Dad in the Elections and my family and hers have been rivals for as long as I can remember.

I apologize for the inconvenience it was never my intention to disturb the stability of the hospital with my family affairs

Dr MABEL

So you mean you are a Balogun?

(She ask in surprise)

HENRY

If Chief Williams Balogun is your Grandfather, then you are the daughter of Mr Ayo Balogun?

TEMI

Yes, I am.

Dr PASCAL

Wow, that explains it I knew I have seen you before now I know where. You have a picture with your family on one of the magazines I have at home.

Dr YEMI

Alright guys, enough of the questions stop interrogating her.

Dr PASCAL

Sir don't tell me you knew about this?

Dr YEMI

Of course I do. I am your Chief head.

Dr MABEL

Then why didn't you tell us we are working with one of the owners of this hospital who knows we could have treated her better.

TEMI

Oh no, it's fine; I rather you treat me like a regular colleague and I plead with you all to keep this to yourselves. I just want to live a normal life.

(She places both her palms together)

Dr YEMI

They will do as you wish because if they don't, there will be consequences.

This is a professional space, not a gossip centre, have I made myself clear?

"Yes, sir, They answered uniformly"

Alright, I have to go now please go back to work.

(He turns to leave)

TEMI

Sir, can I see you for a moment?

Dr YEMI

Of course, follow me to my office.

(He walks out to the room. Temi follows suit)

_____________________________________

|Dr YEMI's OFFICE|

Dr YEMI

So how can I help you, Dr Temi?

TEMI

First of all sir I want to apologize for what happened out there. I would do my best to keep my personal issues outside my working space henceforth.

Dr YEMI

Oh no, it's fine I know it's not your fault it was just unfortunate that you were caught up in your father's politics.

TEMI

Secondly sir, I would like to know if there is an instalment plan package for financially unstable patients?

Dr YEMI

No there isn't, why did you ask?

(He gazes at her)

TEMI

Oh, nothing much I just thought since this a hospital that is friendly to the low class, there would be a system that allows that.

Dr YEMI

Temilade Balogun, I will give you a piece of advice. Do not put any form of sentiments into your work, these patients do not need our pity. Worry about improving your skill as a doctor and offering the best service to our patients, That is the most you can do for them. Let the patients worry about the bills!

TEMI

Forgive me for disagreeing with you sir, I just can't help but make no sense of these rules. What is our essence as Doctors if the most important rule of saving lives is swept under our carpets because the system doesn't support our ethics?

Dr YEMI

We are Doctors, we work for the system and I think the system is fair enough because our patients here receive the same level of services as our other top branches but pay less for these services.

TEMI

I understand your stand on this,  sir but they need our help...

Dr YEM

(He cuts her short)

The rules are the rules, Dr Temi. If you ain't okay with them, I suggest you speak to the ones who made the rules. After all, They are your flesh and blood.

TEMI

Thank you for your time sir, may I be excused?

(She couldn't control the rage she was feeling)

Dr YEMI

Of course, that is the door.

TEMI

Thank you for your time, sir.

(She walks out of the office)
