CHAPTER : 01

Today is a great day at the Abi's, father and mother were running around to put the house in order. Alfred, the man of the house, was in joy. He couldn't stop smiling every time his wife said something to him. Far away in the room, God-given, the man of the hour, was still sleeping. Suddenly he woke up, got into the shower and took a quick bath. He wanted to open the bedroom door when suddenly something caught his attention. It was a noise coming from the living room.

What is this thing? he asked as he left his room.

Even though the clock was striking, the whole living room was dark, even God-given's eyes couldn't see well. He went slowly down the stairs. When he reached the bottom, he pressed a switch and the lamp lit up. Suddenly, a loud scream broke out in the living room. God-given was speechless, he was really moved by this magnificent party. Philip, the doctor of the family and Mr. Alfred's associates approached him. He received some gifts from them, thanked them and joined his father who was about to make a speech.

I thank you for accepting my invitation for my son's birthday, I never knew that you would all be present but you showed me the opposite of what I thought, I also thank Dr. Philippe and the commissioner who is there to ensure the safety of my entourage and finally I thank all my collaborators who are there.

He stopped and looked carefully at the guests who were applauding him.

In the name of the whole family Abi, he started again, I wish my son, God-given, a very happy birthday and never forget that daddy loves you.

A heavy silence settled, Sonia, who was a few steps away from her husband, approached him and took the microphone.

I remember that day, yes the day my son was born. she exclaimed.

She paused for a moment, looking at her son as if he were the only person who could help her rectify the past.

It was a Thursday night around 5:20. I was alone then because my husband had traveled abroad on business that day, so he wasn't home.

No!

That day," she continued, "I also ordered the guard to buy me something because my baby wanted to eat something sweet ha-ha. That's when I wanted to call the family doctor and when I was about to get up to get my cell phone, the bedroom door opened and it was my husband.

___ Waooh ????

Do you see how lucky my son is? My husband took his cell phone and then he called doctor Philippe who came and then I delivered my son safe and sound so that's why we had named him Dieudonné. Anyway, I'll stop here because the hour after the hour is no longer the hour. My son, my beloved, my treasure I wish you all the happiness of this world that your dreams become for you a reality and not a story I thank you.

She gave the microphone to her son.

I thank you for your kind presence, I thank you for your support, may God help you in your actions, may he assist you in your work, may he fill the gaps in your lives, I thank you.

The crowd began to applaud. Alfred took the microphone.

Before launching the party, I will ask God-given to approach his cake to extinguish his candle after having left some wishes.

As everyone looked on, God-given approached the cake, made his wishes, blew out the candles and the candles were extinguished. Everyone started to applaud him again, Sonia helped her son to cut the cake and the party broke out.

Mariano, the vice president of the company, looked at everyone as if he wasn't happy. Despite the joy and dancing that was going on in the room, he was in his corner.

Mr. Mariano. Why you are alone here when everybody is having fun there? Alfred asked while taking a sip of his wine.

Mariano smiled.

When I see him like that, I get angry, I have to react but I have to wait first, I'll talk to rock, Marius and Hippolyte because we have to react, yes we should kill Alfred so that we have freedom in this company, he spoke internally.

Mr. Mariano, is everything all right?

Yes, sir, everything is fine, I would like to be a little distant, otherwise everything is fine. You have nothing to worry about.

I'm glad to hear it. Well, I've got to go, I've got some guests to attend to.

Okay.
