PROLOGUE

As at last year Dr Ross was on the top of the Forbes list as the worlds richest, the CEO and founder of the world’s largest Technology Company, STCL

Science and Technology Corp Limited

. A man estimated to be worth 200 billion dollars and is the largest employer; tries to stay away from the media but it was appear like it’s impossible. His 4 billion dollars mansion is an attraction to the world, with about 60 bedrooms, a football pitch, cinema, the mansion is littered with security personnel, kitchen staffs and other workers; he even owned the estate he lived in and never failed to reach out to the needy; he was known to have built two estates known as OLD AGE estate and Widow's GLORY estate, these estates housed over 15,000 old folks, the Widow’s glory housed about 10,000 widows, known to have done much more than the Nigerian Government.

His name was Dr Ross but popularly known as De Messiah; he earned that name as a result of his heavy efforts into humanity.

Married to Yvonne; the only woman he considered worthy to be beside him.

The good life of a billionaire is the dream of many young men but to Dr Ross, there was nothing special to wealth anymore because there was clearly nothing he didn’t have and neither was there anything he couldn’t afford, but he lacked one thing… a child; it bothered the world and his lovely wife but it didn’t bother him

He was an atheist despite his wife’s strong Christian faith… there were so many strange things about him that he could not unravel, like memories of his parents and growing up was completely missing from his mind, everything challenges men face with success was far from him, he found the world too easy to be true, going to school was too easy because whatever he was taught had for some strange reasons already been in his mind long ago, how it got there he doesn’t remember… all these prompted the reason why he was so successful…

His intelligence made ways for him as well as his innovation… but then one day…

One morning towards the end of May Mr. Henry, one of the top directors of STCL came into Dr Ross's office looking quite worried

"Sir there is a big problem” he said; Henry was an elderly man with grey hair visible on his beards about 55 to 60 of age

"What is that?" Dr Ross had eyes on his laptop

“The Russians and Americans have sent another threat" he said, Dr Ross tilled his head to look at Henry

"Threat for what exactly" he looked back to his laptop

“They want access to all the secret weapons"

"Just as I had expected… what did they say?” he said looking at Henry who hesitated to speak because Dr Ross might not like what they said

“Come on Henry speak to me” he said

"Well… they mentioned Yvonne" Henry said, Dr Ross smiled

“They are threatening to kill her” he said, Henry nodded slowly

“And you know she is in London and quite vulnerable to attacks” Henry said

“I know Henry, I know” he said thinking

“Sarah, how many executives got this message” he asked the AI installed in his office

“Just two sir… yourself and Mr. Henry Okoye”

“Myself?” he said checking his computer

“Yes sir about 23mins 37seconds ago”

“How come you didn’t tell me?”

“You requested for meeting mode two hours ago”

“yeah you’re right… delete the message” he requested

“Message deleted”

“Thank you Sarah”

“What do we do” Henry asked

“I will have an answer tomorrow” he said…

TWO DAYS LATER…

"Sir you have a call from the president" Jane spoke on the phone; Jane was his brilliant secretary who was also a beauty

"Ok, let me speak to him”

"Ok, sir" she said and in seconds the call was transferred

“Hello Mr. President, Good morning" he said with a little smile

"Morning Mr. Ross, how was the night?"

"Splendid sir, thank you and you?"

"Very well… Mr. Ross I received an unpleasant call from the United states"

“And what is the problem exactly” he asked, although knowing what the president was about to say

“They have threatened our country with war, unless you return the weapon you stole from them"

"Stole? Is that how they put it

“Yes it is”

“Well sir, the weapon is a property of STCL, invented by STCL, we only have refused to sell it to them”

“Mr. Ross you cannot make weapons without our permission or approval, whatever weapons you have in your possession should be sold to them or this country is doomed”

"Mr. President I’m sorry I can’t do that"

“Are you going against my order?”

“Even if I sell it, the country will still be doomed but this time with the rest of the planet” he explained

"Mr. Ross, You will do it or else I will tell Nigeria this problem ahead of us, and your company will be sanctioned" He said angrily

“Are you threatening me"

“Call it whatever you want… I am stating a fact"

"Sir, with all due respects, threats don’t move me. I run this company and I will handle dilemmas of this organization”

“I see, even if it affects the lives of millions, this is not just your company Mr. Ross. You are opening a Pandora’s box"

“No one is affected and will be, sir I will take total responsibility of these issues”

"Listen Mr. Ross, I do not know these weapons but I am certain they are extremely deadly and besides I don’t think we want such in our country"

“The weapons are not in Nigeria, all they need is the location and the card"

"I don’t care, do as I have said or else you would be so uncomfortable in Nigeria" He said and hanged up

Dr Ross was angry at the situation at hand; Mr. Henry came in and saw the look on his face

"Sir is everything ok?"

"Does it look ok? The president just called me and told me how the American military have threatened the country with war all for these weapons"

"This is getting worse… maybe you should…” “maybe I should what?” Dr Ross interrupted Mr Henry

“I will never do that. If America gets a hold of that weapon, not just Nigeria but the World is doomed" he said, Mr. Henry was silent

"Please send a message to the World Health Organization Headquarters, tell them to come in on the meeting concerning the Coronavirus”…

CHAPTER ONE

12 MONTHS AGO

"AMERICA SENDS MEDICAL EXPERTS TO HELP NIGERIA TACKLE THE SPREADING OF COVID-19" this was the news headline on STV

"Its quite disappointing, this corona virus issue has become quite controversial in Nigeria” Emeka said turning to his wife on the dressing table preparing to go to her friend Yvonne's birthday party as Emeka waited for her.

"That is Nigeria for you babe… nothing that happens in Nigeria that doesn’t end up having complicated branches" Jane said applying lipstick

"It shows that the world is coming to an end" Emeka said

"You can say that again" she replied

They got dressed and left the house in a Lexus SUV

Emeka was Dr Ross’s best friend; he was very open and free while Dr Ross was Observant and very selective, despite being calm he was feared by many because he was unpredictable. Both men were completely handsome but a major difference was that Dr Ross never takes advantage of his looks unlike Emeka being married but still had various girlfriends

It was a billionaire’s party so you don’t expect a noisy razzmatazz; Yvonne sat on the bed as she stared into the standing mirror, Dr Ross walked in to see her sitting quietly

“I heard that the most beautiful woman is so beautiful that she seats in front of a mirror admiring her on beauty” Dr Ross said walking towards her, she smiled. This was the fourth year of their marriage but yet no child this sometimes kept Yvonne sad but Dr Ross didn’t mind, as long as he had his wife all was well.

He kissed her cheek from behind as he looked into the mirror too

“Am I not so lucky to have you” he said looking at her through the mirror

"Don’t start please” she said smiled as she stood up

“Our guests are waiting for you” he said

“You know I don’t like big parties” she said

“If I wanted a big party, you know presidents would be here” he said as he held her hand and kissed it then led her out of the room...

That was last year June 4th...

Dr Ross woke up, took his shower and brushed his teeth and picked his phone and checked the time but it was not correct.

"That weird" he said, knowing that it was meant to correspond with the bed side time, he looked at the bed side time which read 06:06 am, he was surprised because both time were same but the weather outside spoke differently, he got a little confused as he looked out the window, the day was very much bright and the sun was out; not interested in what was going on, he flings the phone on the bed and walked away.

It was June 4th, his wife's birthday again but she was not in the country, she was in London and 9 months pregnant already, the doctors said she would deliver on the 6th of June. Dr Ross silently wished her happy birthday, although he seriously missed her.

He dialed her number and she picked on the first ring

"Honey, I miss you, when will you be here" those were her words immediately she picked the call

“Happy birthday pretty girl" he said and she gave a short laugh

“Thanks” she said

“What would you want as a birthday gift”

"Just bring your coconut head to London” she said

“Okay Ma’am, you want it on a gold tray or in a gold box?”

“No just leave the head on the body” she said

“As you wish”

“Silly boy… when are you coming” she asked

“Very soon”

“I will be due on the 6th and you know I need you here with me”

“I just need to sort some business here” he said

“More important than me right?” she said

“Women and jumping into conclusion” he said

“What else do you want me to think” she said

“Of cause not… I will be there on the day of your delivery”

“Hope you are praying?” she asked

“Hmmm” he replied

“What is hmmm?” she asked

“I’ll try” he said

“So you’ve not been praying”

“That’s not what I meant”

“When I get back we are going on a three days fasting”

“I guess I will have to pack out of your house before you arrive” he said and she laughed

“I’ll call you back later today” he said

“Okay bye love you” she said

“Love you too” he hanged up; his stomach suddenly announced its presence, he needed food…

Tony had just arrived at air port to do one or two things; he was to fly a plane on June 6th with his co-pilot Paul who was his friend; Paul happened to be a Christian but Tony was not. Paul had tried to make him see reasons to be a Christian but Tony kept seeing reasons not to.

Tony looked into and office and saw Nancy one of the air hostess; he had eyes for her because of her beauty. She was doing something and didn’t notice Tony behind her who was busy staring at her ass which happened to be an attraction, then suddenly she turned and saw him

"HEY Nancy" pretending not to be staring

"Hi tony"

"How was your day?" he asked

"Well good"

"Are you flying today?" he asked

"No am not but I have a flight with you on the 6th of June" she said

"Yeah right" he said smiling

"Ok, then we'll see" she winked

"Can we go out today or tomorrow" he asked

"Maybe" she said

"Ok I’ll come pick you up" he said

"That’s fine" she said…
